Knowing that I like dogs (I have 5), an office colleague emailed me these pictures of these giant canines! And they would certainly give any intruders a freaking heart attack! I mean just look at them.




And while we're on the topic of dogs and before we get too judgmental; perhaps we should heed Irene's recent comment/reply on my post on her and her and her terrier, Cookie on Saturday, 8th December 2007 - "Inseparable : Cookie & Irene"; as whether they are big or small, to some of us our dogs occupy a large part of our lives:-

"hey... i just had time to log on today, and was mildly amused to see that this picture of me and cookie actually appeared here haha. thanks for the write up on me and my pampered little princess!

to everyone else... yes, cookie hates flying terribly, doesn't help that she's a tad claustrophobic. but it's my three-month summer break now, and as i've just moved out of my place in miri and am technically homeless lol, so there's nowhere to leave her, so she has to come back with me to kuching.

and there's the matter of her being very very attached to me - she doesn't eat, sleep, or even drink much when i'm not around, and becomes depressed and listless if i don't come home for more than a day.

so considering all those, the trauma from a one-hour flight seems like a reasonable unpleasantness as opposed to her wasting away without me.

cookie was a present from my mum as part of my therapy. i suffer from a severe case of bipolar disorder and cookie's probably the best thing that's happened to me... she's my lifeline and one of the more compelling reasons in my life for me to continue fighting my depression.

all this sounds rather cliched and maybe very corny but yeah, she means a lot to me than a carry-round accessory or a cute toy."

It’s funny how you never really notice things until you’re actually using them – and until I joined the gym about 2 months back; I’d never really paid much notice to lockers, but I do now!

And how I wished the gym that I go to had chosen their gym lockers and locker benches from Lockerixchange as they even have designer steel lockers which looked so much better than the standard boring metal lockers. They also have school lockers as well as plastic lockers. In fact they provide a full suite of locker room furniture including some such as vented lockers and basket lockers.

I’m pretty sure that Lockerixchange would meet all your locker needs and if not , perhaps you’re just too fussy or you may need to be locked up! *sigh*

As a designer myself I really appreciate well designed products and the Dyson upright vacuum cleaner range is quite intriguing – I especially like the model “DC14 the ball” which twist and turn like no other vacuum cleaner. It has some really cool features such as flexible steering which steers smoothly with a turn of the wrist and a motorized brush bar with an extra motor in the cleaner head powers the bristles to remove dirt and pet hair from carpets. It also comes with a 5 Years guarantee in case you are worried about their quality.

And if you are looking for a specific Dyson parts or accessories for a particular model; it’s truly a piece of cake with the easy navigation and when you find the item you need you can click on a button to buy it online or on another button for more info should you require more information. You'll be amazed by the range of accessories available.

Yes – with a Mad Gringo shirt with an attitude by discarding that white shirt and the corporate noose a.k.a. tie. It’s not that easy to get off that rat race treadmill but we can at least slow down – or “go slow”. A change in our clothing can help get us to that state of mind – and you can “browse their Hawaiian Shirts, picture yourself in a beautiful Sarong, show a little attitude in a Mad Gringo Tee, or get a Tiki Sign from Mad Gringo Accessories to nail to your neighbor's fence.”

They have FREE SHIPPING on orders over $70 and for the bargain hunters – they have a great section of clothing and accessories at closeout prices.

I like their hawaiian shirts which with their loose baggy cut looks cool and so comfortable to wear and in their bold and bright colours clearly spells out to random strangers in no uncertain terms “Yes. I’m on vacation”.

At the Mad Gringo you just need to “go slow” take it easy and enjoy life. Yeah. But can someone now wake me up before I get carried away and head towards the river in a Mad Gringo Big Floppy Beach Hat to go kayaking instead of to the office. *sigh*

That’s what it says on the website and it pretty much says it all!

Sporting a remarkably ‘simple’, neat and clean interface; it does not belie the ease with which one can check out the various online casinos available in the USA to suit you. If you want detail information on any one of the online casinos, you can read reviews of each one. In the review section, they give very comparable data based on their rating of Graphics / Sounds, Payout Percentage, Security, Fair Play and many more factors.

Some online casinos require that you download a program and all you need to do is to click on the download button.

So if online casinos is your game – go knock yourself silly at TopUsaOnlineCasinos.com. Amen.

With our hot and humid weather, we tend to perspire quite a bit even after some minor physical exertions especially when outdoors. So it’s quite easy for one to smell ‘funky’! So some sort of perfume or fragrances helps and would be appreciated by those who work in close quarters to you.

Being a rather personal thing, the choice of fragrances can be quite personal – there are some you like and others you hate! I’ve been using Ralph Lauren’s Safari for Men for years now and would probably continue to use it until I find something else that I like.

I was quite amused once when my friend who is an insurance agent ‘whipped out’ his ‘portable fax machine from his car boot when we need to photocopy some documents in a hurry. He explains that it helps him to close his deals when the timing is right and not let some inconveniences such as the unavailability of a photocopier to get in the way.

He would be over the moon when I tell him about the ScanShell 3000DN which is a compact (measuring L x W x H: 300mm x 50mm x 45mm), light (weighing 1.3 pounds or 17oz/0.59kg) and portable duplex scanner. With such a small footprint and compact size, he can keep it in his briefcase instead of the boot!

It comes equipped with a high speed USB 2.0 standard interface and requires no external power supply. And it’s a duplex scanner providing simultaneous double sided scanning. The bundled software, DocShell, is free and allows easy scanning, sharing and organizing of photos and documents. This easy to use utility can scan and export the scanned image or save them in a number of popular image file formats including the popular PDF format.

And you can buy it online at a very reasonably priced USD319/-

Although we may not be able to afford a big fancy house, we can still instill an air of luxury and comfort if we install fine designer plumbing fittings inside our humble abode.

Some items such as kohler water tiles are quite affordable and its simply divine to take a ‘rain’ shower in, in our hot tropical climate - a wonderful daily indulgence.

Stainless steel sink are really a necessity for kitchens as they are practical and durable. That brands such as Blanco Sinks which look so good is simply a bonus.

All these and more are available from DPO – Designer Plumbing Outlet with a range of selection at great prices.
