It’s an unexplainable feeling seeing my little girl grow up so fast. Just last year, we were so excited to see her come out from my womb, and soon she’ll be turning a year older (that’s next month already!). I’m very glad we have plenty of pictures and videos of her since she was born that will all give us pleasant memories to reminisce. At present, she’s becoming such a darling whose charm and joy is infectious. Even strangers and grumpy old men would break into a smile when they see her. She even has her own legion of fans and stalkers.

1. Exercise! Why don’t you lift weights like I do?


2. Eat healthy! Look at me munching a carrot in the morning.


3. Last but not the least: SMILE! Be joyful! Don’t keep anger in your heart, it will eat you ALIVE! Learn to forgive and you’ll be happy like me.


When time is short, speed is an important factor to accomplish many tasks. Just like our recent Europe tour to Czech’s neighboring countries, Austria and Germany. We hurriedly made a quick trip to these cities each in one day. Whew! It was quite hectic considering that we only have few hours to stroll around the place and see the sights and we also have to spend a total of more than 6 hours of travel; going there and back. You can imagine how we dashed from one place to another; walking briskly with the very limited time we had. But it was all worth it!
Speed is essential as well in the workplace. Workers need to have tools to make their work fast. Like when you have piles of documents to print out, an efficient and fast printer is important. HP LaserJet 2420 q5956a fits this criteria as it has 400 MHZ processor and a 32 MB RAM which makes printing fast. You can print an average of 30 pages in a minute! I wish we were like HP printer during our tour; able to walk 30 steps in a minute (Yikes that’s not really fast! maybe 30 steps in a second then) and not get tired (hehehe), then we could have seen more tourists’ attractions!
Last Tuesday we bade goodbye to my sister and her family. After 3 weeks of being together, our stay had come to an end. Huhuhuhu. For sure we will be missing everyone! Till next time! I have fond memories of this scenic Nordic country; the beauty of chilly Finland is simply amazing plus being with the family made it more memorable. If you’re into nature, it’s a place to visit!
Btw, I found the Finns to be friendly people. Those I encountered in shops speaks English too. And most of the girls are pretty! That’s an extra tip for tourists and guys… hehehe.

getting ready to board our bus from Pori to Helsinki

bye everyone!

on the road to Helsinki.

the rocky beauty.

hey little C! eager to see Dad again?
If you’ve read my post about cufflinks as another gift option for men, you might be interested to see more of Cuff-Daddy’s unique cufflinks. How about the hot red mini cooper silver cufflinks or the black enamel silver turtle novelty cufflinks that are both so cute? I like those two, but if you’re more into functionality, you can get opt for their watch cufflinks – it’s functional and fashionable as well.
Pictures of the mini cooper and the silver turtle cufflinks:




The Pori Jazz starts today till the 20th (and we’re leaving on the 14th to Helsinki!). Last night after our very filling buffet dinner, we took a walk to the jazz street to take a peek on what’s happening prior to the festival. It seems everyone is almost ready. Vendors selling all sorts of stuff from souvenirs to food have already filled the long street along the Kokemanjoki River. Cafes and restaurants are also in full swing. The stage has been set up and there’s a lively music playing to put everyone in a festive mood.
Some famous international artists who are gracing Pori Jazz are Carlos Santana, Shaggy and Mary J. Blige. Other guests and Finnish artists will be playing their music too.
Pictures, pictures!

the stalls!

and more stalls!

When we’re on the road, hubby would occasionally point cars with interesting plate numbers. When he’s driving, his attention is concentrated on the cars in front of him and it’s always the behind of these vehicles that he sees.
He really fancies those cars with cool registration numbers but would tell me that they’re kinda expensive to acquire. Well, if he can’t own registration number then he can go for a customized number plates that are cool to have on the car just like the one I saw online.
The Demon Plates is an online site where car owners can create their own number plates, using the plate builder tool. Various choices are available like the design of badge, the border, background, text style and you can even place a slogan on it. It’s a cool way to personalize your own number plate and to show-off your car to other motorists.

FYI: you should already have your own registration number as Demon Plates don’t provide such. They only make the plates!
Because its summer, the Finns are taking out their campers to camping sites such as the Yyteri Beach (one of the beautiful and famous beaches in Finland) which we’re yet to see this weekend hopefully and other recreational areas. See below the different camper shots I’ve taken while going around the place:






All the ladies in the house, your attention please! I’ve got a little tip for you which you’d probably be interested in. If you’re like me who’s having difficulty when it comes to choosing gifts for men, then add this gift idea to your list: novelty cufflinks! It’s a perfect gift for your man coz there are many designs you can choose which you can match with his hobbies or interests.
If he’s into sports, specifically football like M, then this football cleats cuff links is best for him:

Or if he’s into music, then this electric guitar cufflinks would suit him perfectly:

There are still plenty of other gift items to choose from for men like silk tie and cufflink gift sets, men’s pendants & chains and wallets. Just take your pick!
