Shoppingmum’s Office Life

Office life in a foreign land

Hate Pills

SIL said that most of my vitamins have oxidized so we should put the bottles in the fridge. Gee…I really need a bigger fridge!

I hardly take the vitamins too, but only my kids and hubby take them regularly. I don’t quite like swallowing pills, that’s why I didn’t get those hgh pills or diet pills even if some friends are taking them.

I would rather get a jab than swallowing pills. How weird huh?

Gaining Weight

CNY is definitely the time to eat, eat and eat! SIL from Singapore brought us some home made biscuits and we have started enjoying it! Gosh, they are so yummy!

I should really check out the lipozene review soon if I keep on eating like this! Gaining weight during CNY is unavoidable, unless you have the determination of pushing all the food goodies away.

CNY

It’s CNY eve and we are celebrating it here with hubby’s family. It’s a bliss to have family members here, instead of celebrating among ourselves. But due to a few busy days, I have one pimple on my face, so it’s disturbing my mood! Ah…I might need an acne treatment if it gets worse!

Thus, I shall relax myself tomorrow and a few more days on the beach. I don’t want to stress myself anymore, and I will only start thinking about my work after CNY.

Relax and Busy

I’m very tired but I’ve got to drag myself to our office. There are tonnes of work to do, and with hubby is going away again soon, I will have to take over some of his work. Sigh…

But then, we had a nice trip last weekend, and the kids enjoyed themselves pretty much on the beach, and at the pool. The pool is not big though, but it’s good enough for the kids. I’m glad that the hotel use pond kits to maintain the pool in good condition.

We will have another weekend getaway this week, and I will try to relax as much as possible. After that, it’s going to be a challenging moment for me.

Dents on my car!

My car got hit within the first week we got it, and that accident was “unavoidable” as it’s not my mistake. I stopped the car on an emergency break, but the truck behind me could not stop in time and banged into my car! It was not a bad hit though, but we got to get it fixed and our car insurance covered everything.

Last week, my hubby hit our car, not once but twice! So, it’s very much dented in front and at the size, but we haven’t got the car fix yet. I wonder if our auto insurance can cover the damage this time? I’ve been urging hubby to call the insurance company, but he’s not making any move yet!!!

I hate to drive a “not-so-nice” car, I wish that hubby can get it fixed soon. But considering that he will be away for a week, I will have to wait way longer than I thought!

Looking for a job

I’m trying to get a job if possible here, but it’s not going to be easy. Firstly, I can’t speak Thai, so that’s my major obstacle. Being out from the workforce for years is not helping either, and I doubt that I can go back to engineering. LOL!

But I’ll take my time to do a job search online, and see if there is anything that works for me. I’m getting bored and restless as my kids grow older. I wonder if other mothers will feel the same too?

Who Spends More?

Personally, I feel that women are bigger spenders than men, but we spend differently. Just tell a woman that she can look younger by 10 years with an anti aging product, most likely she will buy it, even if it cost her a bomb! Let’s not forgetting about shoes and bags and jewelry. All these things can easily boost a woman’s confident in no time.

But men like to spend on cars, houses, fancy gadgets, WOMEN *roll eyes* and etc. There are more men who loves spending on facials, clothes, and shoes too, and these men are very trendy. I would love to have a trendy and rich husband who share the same interests with me. LOL!

Selling Coffee Online

FIL asked if I can set up a store for him to sell his weight loss product. It’s actually coffee, but added with some ingredients which might help in losing weight. Not that I’m not convinced, but I don’t think one can lose weight alone with coffee!

It takes more than a cup of coffee a day to lose weight, and if it’s not stated well that you need a well balanced diet and exercise, you won’t be losing any weight. So, maybe I will decline his request.

Opps…I have a store!

I’ve almost forgotten about my store. I didn’t sell anything yet, and I didn’t have time for it for the past few days! LOL!

Selling clothes online in Thailand will be a bit hard as you can easily get wholesale clothes, if you know where to get one. The price is so cheap, you will be amazed at how much they mark up at boutiques and stores.

Maybe I should sell something else at my store. I wonder if the products from www.zitcreams.com are suitable?

Eye Cream

A good eye wrinkle cream can be quite expensive but it’s a necessity for me. I can’t live without my eye cream, unless I am on a holiday and I prefer to pack light.

Aging effect is unavoidable, unless you are born with good genes and take a good care of yourself. So, for ordinary woman like me, I need my eye cream! LOL!

But this year, I have a tighter budget in skincare products, so I shall read more reviews before getting a new bottle of eye cream. Let’s see which one I’ll get in 2 months.
