It's quite sad though, coz I can't share it with my family and I can't have a look at it & admire it whenever I want it.... Why I never print it out? Coz I find it a hassle to send the copies to be develop out.... hardly can find one nearby my area and also when I found 1, I didn't bring the card out.....<br /><br />But then I found </span><a href="http://www.eoe.com.my/en/"><span style="font-size:85%;">EOE Online</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> that provide online photo album services. I know, it's quite common to have online service but not one in Malaysia though... now all I need is to upload the photos that I want and wait for them to deliver it to me..... it's that simple.... and their price is quite good, I ccan say that.<br /><br />Just did my round and now am sitting back for them to deliver the photos to me....</span>Cheryl Leonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12455374291532428838noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10172460.post-65758864974604490302008-12-25T08:59:00.002+08:002008-12-25T09:02:15.282+08:00Merry Christmas<span style="font-size:85%;">Hello......

First, it hang, then cannot start up. Finally, after 3 try, it's alive again. But after I shut down, it cannot start up. My mood was so down that whole day coz my original RAM is in Doha now with Gerald.

No matter where we go, we would wish to have a SPA of our dream especially the location of the SPA. However, to get to the dream location like those we see in the magazine and hotels brochure (eg: Andaman Spa in Langkawi which can cost us over RM 1k just to stay there and enjoy it coz it is a luxury resort), it is super expensive!!. Hence, we can only afford it once in awhile.<br /><br />For those who really love to enjoy it at their home but would love to have a scene other than the 4 walls or just their neighbourhood scene, you can choose some </span><a href="http://www.spascenes.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">spa accessories</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">. It's more affordable than to go all the way to the beach or to the mountain to enjoy the perfect Spa escape or getting a overall hot tub and landscaping project . Just choose the spascenes that you like, add some aromatheraphy oil in the burner and on some natural sound, Voila! Your own bathroom has turned into the perfect relaxing place to enjoy the perfect spa at your own time. It's so easy to install and durable.</span></div>Cheryl Leonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12455374291532428838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10172460.post-20929791654136883622008-08-09T19:10:00.003+08:002008-09-20T19:23:10.148+08:00*North Carolina health insurance*<div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;">Thinking of getting a health insurance minus all the hassle of analysing the perfect plan and you're located in the states... choose </span><a href="http://www.getnchealthinsurance.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">North Carolina health insurance</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">.

First, they say it might be my phone extension line problem, asked me go change that. So, I went to buy a new one. Then they came 2nd time, coz tarak working the 1st solution. He did more test, and say it's my phone connection box problem, so, I changed that (have to go hunt for it coz they do not sell tat, only sell splitter). Fine, change tat, and the line still down. 3rd time, the same guy came again, this time, he tested with his modem and it's working, so, diagnose my modem got problem (coz the DSL keeps blinking). Fine, no argue, I go to the same shop and asked for a change. But they tested my modem there, and it's working fine. The DSL is so stable.<br /><br />Ok, this gives me problem, coz now dunno wat's wrong with it. Dun tell me that my line is choosy on the type of modem.... So, my last resort is to get a new modem, this time, will get the Aztech one. The 'notworking' modem is D-Link and the technician say not vy good wor (O_+) u say I pengsan or not....<br /><br />Oh, and latest thing I tested is with another modem of my taman-mate, and it's working fine at my house and also my D-Link modem is working fine at her place. Why ah..... *double pengsan*</span> </div><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;">So, now if I really want to go online, my only hope is my <a href="http://www.buy.com/cat/laptop-computers/212.html">laptop computer</a> & a reliable cafe with wifi</span></div>Cheryl Leonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12455374291532428838noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10172460.post-8350277199013571472008-06-27T22:21:00.000+08:002008-07-13T22:32:33.357+08:00*modern furniture*<div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;">Clean & Contemporary...aka </span><a href="http://www.treomodern.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">modern furniture</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> that's what I prefer for the type of furniture for the house.
