Favourite Disney Character: Donald Duck

Childhood days always goes hand in hand with cartoons and story books. Due to the release of the 'oldies' I get to watch back all my childhood favourite cartoons. The Disney movies and my favourite Donald Duck.

The memorable Donald Head.

Deng deng deng~~~ I can even sing out the song for the opening. Haha.

Donald Duck is a cartoon character from The Walt Disney Company. Donald is a white anthropomorphic duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He usually wears a sailor shirt, cap, and a red or black bow tie, but no trousers (except when he goes swimming). Donald's most famous trait is his easily provoked and occasionally explosive temper.

According to the Disney canon, particularly in the 1942 short Donald Gets Drafted, Donald's full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck. Donald's birthday is officially recognized as June 9, 1934,^[2] the day his debut film, The Wise Little Hen, was released.




War time Donald. Cute little Donald Duck. I always love the way he weird ducky sounds, the big snow white backside. It is so cute. Compare to Mickey....I am just not that into Mickey. He seems to be a bit fake, unrealistic. Oh....this reminds me of the SEGA game we used to play. The Disney adventures of Mickey and DOnald. I remember brother and I sat in front of the TV and struggling to go through all the obstacles in " Alice in the Wonder land". Where I will use Donald and brother use the character Mickey, two of us help each other ( like letting down a rope for another to climb up a tree, jump over ships in the sea, wonder around huge huge cakes, the Giant world, been chase by Ace Cards of Queen of Hearts. ) it was indeed a great video game for kids.

Donald making fun of Mickey. No matter how popular that Mickey is in the Mickey Mouse Club, I still love my cute little ducky best. Guess it is also deal to the fact that my nick name as a baby is Donald Duck. Short chubby legs walking around a big white pampers. Donald Duck and I got similar big backsides then. How good were those carefree days. All I need to think and worry about is my school work and what is next on cartoon channels. I still remember the best is during the holidays especially Christmas. Brother and I will be happily setting up Christmas tree and watching cartoon whole day long. The olden day cartoons are more meaningful and comprehensive. The modern day cartoon??? Frankly speaking I seriously do not know what the cartoon is trying to convey. Everything is up side down and all messed up. In my opinion, cartoon is mainly for kids to enjoy and learn some wisdom and life. At least in Disney they still teaching the kids what is the Good and Bad. Some other cartoon is totally meaningless and teach the kids bad things. Install them with sadistic ideas of bombing the school, bullying the teacher. The authority are fools and they themselves are the justice.

No wonder crime rate of any sort is getting higher among younger age group. Personally if I have a kid I won't let them watch some cartoons. Bad influence and pollute the mind. Teaching kids the idea of hacking, terror risk, rape, gang fight, suicide group, etc etc etc....the list can on as everyday you open newspaper there will be at least 1 bizarre case about young kids now a day. Just that day I saw in newspaper, 14 year old girl video the rape of her friend by her boy friend. I got so disgusted by that information I almost regurgitated out my just swallowed orange juice.
Seriously it is very very annoying and horrifying to read about such news. Which is not unfamiliar ever since the digital age kick in and everyone got a hp. Sometimes I wonder what the world today has come to????

New LayOut!!

*^-^* New Lay Out!!! Today I am glad to announce that I got myself a new lay out which I really love! I have a great weakness for coffee, stationery, diary, pens, books, papers, journals, library, cafe, magazines, bookmarks and mugs. I was jumping around dancing with joy at this new lay out. It is totally my cup of coffee with heart-shaped creamy pattern in it. Been always wanting a 3 column style and finally got it after whole morning's hard work. As I am kind of not so pro in html editing.

Real glad and happy with the result. Below is just a comparison between the new and old. The old one is white , simple and clean with a dash of vibrant colours.




The new one is just like I always wanted it to be. My very own little coffee desk with my journal online.


I can't wait to jot down all the happy things in life. I decided to keep this blog as a record of my life. Of which when at 70 years old I can sit down look back at it and have a good laugh with my friends. How silly we were, how hardworking we were, how hot-blooded we have been, how naive and how young we were etc etc...

Study confirms mothers-in-law are the chief cause of divorces

It has been my habit to open up the various online newspaper first thing in the morning. Reading all the headlines while I brush away. It may seen weird ( yucks to some ppl) to brush teeth while surfing. I prefer to multi-task - it is the specialty of women. *^-^*~~ My this special technique of brushing and walking around with tooth brush in my mouth amazed my friend. She wondered how I manage to do it. Bubbles and slimy stuff will be dripping down from her mouth if she do the same. Haha~ All I can say is : I wonders too.

Came across this interesting news article:
Study confirms mothers-in-law are the chief cause of divorces/ " Monster-in-laws" ( this was the title given last night when this article came out. I guess they have to change it not too often the other nice in-laws around.)

KUALA LUMPUR: Every married person knows it, but a local study has confirmed it – mothers-in-law are the chief cause of divorces, especially in the Indian community.

Data in the Malaysia Community and Family Study 2004 by the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) revealed that “meddlesome in-laws” is the number one reason why Indian couples get divorced.

It is also among the top three factors for divorce among the Malays and Chinese. The other two factors are incompatibility (42.3%) and infidelity (12%).

The forever never ending mother-daughter-in-law saga has been going on for ever since there is written human history. Open up ur tv: Chinese, Malay, Indian, Korean, Japanese, US, British...etc. How many dramas from different countries and different cultures base their story line of this? Answer is : 100%.

For my own Chinese culture, it is a famous matter of fact thing that mother-in-laws love to find trouble with daughter-in-laws. Reason: Too many some even too ridiculous to mention because if you hear it I am afraid you might not be able to breath from laughing. Remember those Chinese dramas about poor little daughter-in-laws being bullied by monster-mother-in-laws? And how popular those tv dramas become. Everynight all the housewives in the country will be watching it and nodding their heads as the story progress. They finds sympathy in these types of shows.

I am very glad that my own grandma is a very nice and generous person who don't find fault with people just for the fun of it or to prove her authority in the family. Every Qing Ming when the Chinese sweep their graveyards. Everyone have great memories of her as a great lady and how we miss her. But likewise I do hear all sorts of stories about monster mother-in-laws around. Their range of scary stories are true horros. Their fate: rich or poor, pretty or ugly, famous or not. They all die alone. Nobody wants to be with them. Only a few who felt it is their duty or for the sake of face accompany them. They got what they do not want the most: to be alone. This is just all facts I hear from people around. Actual fact? Not too sure, but base on this random data it could be 80% accurate.

This is a real issue in the society. I heard of aunties mensioning their world famous monster-mother-in-law who got black listed by some air-lines. Wow.... Sometimes as someone from the side you can see. The couple are happily married with 2 kids with good income and enjoy their life. Go to Church and visit their in-laws every weekends. It seens like a normal peaceful family but why do these mother-in-laws become monsters? They just brought the whole family into dispute and not only earning themselves a bad name. The whole family was broken up into pieces thanks to them.

Right now even conservative country like Malaysia news also report:
Study confirms mothers-in-law are the chief cause of divorces
This means that there are quite a big percentage of monster mother-in-laws then. Oh wow... From what I see and hear it is around 30% but it is a lot already. Guess it really depends on your luck. So...girls beware.

Ultimately everyone wants to be happy. But giving other people a hard life you will never get what you want. Instead you might lose it all. Remember the fate of those monster-mother-in-laws in drama? Desperate Housewives: Gabby's mother-in-law die in a hit and run accident, Chinese drama : suffer major illness and finally got to herself and reformed to be a better person. Everyone have a happy ending. Why people write such scrips? Maybe thats the wish of majority viewers. Make those monsters disappear.

I hope all married people have a great life and parents who got son and daughter-in-laws treat them well. They are your own sons and daughters too not just by law. Thats the ultimate gate way to happiness. You give punch you get a slash back. You give a smile you get a hug back.

I adore You

Some years ago a guy wrote this to a girl. The girl always remember this for the rest of her life. She cherished it like the most precious thing in the world.

My dear, I know you are shy. But I do know that you love me and I am very glad you do. Maybe that's why I never ask if you love me (".) I have loved you since I first saw you but only now had the courage to pour out my love for you. Lets hope that this small distance between us would only make our feelings stronger. I want to be the person to hold your hands and to comfort you whenever you feel down, lonely or sad. To let you know that you can count on me.

Love you with all my heart.

* muaks* .

What a relief

Happy Day for me. As a chronic sufferer from horrible annoying vasomotor rhinitis and allergy rhinitis simultaneously. I am constantly having flu. Especially in times like this, with H1N1 or Influenza A whatever they want to call it. I may easily be held quarantine anytime becoz of my running nose. (scary-_-)

Vasomotor rhinitis is believed to be caused by oversensitive or excessive blood vessels in the nasal membrane. It causes an overreaction to such stimuli as changes in weather, temperature, or barometric pressure, chemical irritants such as smoke, ozone, pollution, perfumes, and aerosol sprays, psychological stress and emotional shocks, certain types of medications, alcohol, and even spicy food. I have experienced all the above. Walking under the sun and into a cold air-con room: sneeze...... Eating a bowl of hot and spicy soup: sneeze....

In general, age of onset of vasomotor rhinitis occurs after 20 years of age, in contrast to allergic rhinitis which generally appears before age 20. But Many patients can be subject to vasomotor rhinitis and allergic rhinitis simultaneously like Me. Teary eyes, running nose.

I am allergic to dust, environmental matters, particles, chemicals ( i am not sure which). As sometimes, just out of no where my arms felt itchy and I start scratching and rashes will appear. I just got a feeling I am allergic to hot weather. My neck and arms will be red with itch and rashes if I am too hot.

Due to prolong use of antihistamine pills, it has no effect on my poor nose anymore. Just the other I saw this: Sinoclear. A lot of people advice me to try out some decongestant spray. So I bought it have a try. Result: Not bad. Very satisfactory actually. Within 5 mins of spraying and clearing my nose. All my signs and symptoms are gone. No more sniffing, headache, running nose. Feel so much better.

Btw I am not paid to advertise this.

Thus I have a look online and find out some thing nice about it:

All natural
Preservative-free Sinoclear is made up of a 2.2% hypertonic concentration of mineral salts in a sterile seawater solution and it contains more than 80 minerals that work together to help repair delicate nasal tissues and to expel excess fluids from swollen sinus passages, a natural process known as the “osmotic effect.”

Mmm....osmotic effect?

Usage

1. Safely opens blocked sinuses and nasal passages
2. Removes germs, dust and other allergens
3. Loosens and clears excess mucus
4. Helps relieve post-nasal drip

Why use SINOCLEAR?

1. Safer than traditional decongestant
2. All-natural, non-medicated formula
3. Non-habit forming
4. No risk of drug interaction

The above remarks are delightful if it is true.

Clinically proven efficacy*

The number of chronic nasal sufferers reporting moderate to severe nasal symptoms (nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing and itching) decreased by 76% after 6 weeks of Sinoclear use. The Sinoclear group showed significant overall health improvement.

So...now is week 1, let us see what happens after 6 weeks. I seriously hope I am as lucky as those people. Maybe I should get a bottle for my dear too. Since the two of us is always fighting over tissues and antihistamine everyday.

Girl's Things

Here, I am just sharing with my friends and anyone who came across my blog some products I have used.

Girl's Things session: Hair Product.

This only applies to girls with flat, limp hair that don't have any volume. My hair is super flat, straight and fine. I have a lot of fine hair so when the weather is humid all my hair become flat. Look as I don't have much hair. To solve this problem, I have to perm my hair all year round.

Recently, I have been using Bead Head shampoo ( the hot pink bottle) , not bad. I quite like the effect, it makes my hair thicker, can stand up, looks more volume but a bit rougher to the touch.

The yellow bottle on the left is Volume Water. Spray a bit at the root of your hair and start rubbing and mess up your hair. After 1-2 mins, there you go. You have your voluminous hair. I love this product. Very useful.

Through my observation, I noticed Malaysia girls are addicted to thin, flat hair when a lot of girls from other countries are in to big curly hairs. I myself love wavy hair too. More sexy and make the person prettier.

Skincare: Laneige

Korean skincare. I find that I prefer Japan or Korea skincare more than western Brands. As it is more targeted and suitable for Asian skins. Recently my purse just cried and vomit blood to this: Star White set. As I still have other products so I bought only the toner and that sleeping hydro gel. I got a whole range of samples too. So I decided to use the whole set together and see. After 1 week....my face is white and very hydrated. Seems like my skin respond well to this brand. Now problem is.......my face so white my body so dark. How??? -_-....

p/s: these are alcohol free. ^^~~~

As for make up, as long as it is of reputable and tested brand I am fine. Meaning as long as it is not some unknown cheap brand of unknown chemicals. I don't like to spend too much on make up as I seldom make up. But I am careful with foundations and sun block. Careful not to clog up the pores and against UV lights.

Below is pink Maybelline blush blush. I use it less than once a week. Just to give me a bit of colour when I look too pale. That empty bottle is a very useful traveling tool. Just place required amount of body products into it and no need to carry big bottles around. Oh this remains me of the immigration check points in Airport. Now adays due to those horrible people who bomb up planes, placing explosives anywhere ....we the normal good civilians end up with lots of hassels.

New Find in Taiwan: Magic Hair Sticker.

Guess a lot of girls are like me, got long fringes that might be a bit irritating when u are doing work. Usually I use hair clips, hair bands or hair pins. But it always give my hair a bad shape and painful at times.

Lala~~~ This is the new invention that I love a lot ever since I found out about it and finally I got it. This black little piece of magic hair sticker.

Pull up ur hair hold it and press that piece of black thing down on to ur hair. It will hold it in place. Very comfy, light, effective.

Press it down and hold and let go.

Just like this. See. No matter how u shake ur head it will not fall off easily. The best part is no pain, no weight, no stress at all and...........after u take it off : Your hair bounce back to normal. No change of shape or marks leave on ur hair. (*^-^*)<<<< Isn't that great???
