My family is not a really healthy one. I have aunties from both my mom’s and dad’s side who have cancer - breast cancer actually. However, did you know that in the US about 900, thats NINE HUNDRED, people have Sudden Cardiac Arrest everyday?

There is a way to help prevent this. A implantable cardioverter defibrillator or ICD Implant is used to treat dangerously fast heart rates that occur in the lower chambers of the heart (the main pumping chambers).

Thank goodness my family doesn’t have heart problems.

Aree just bought a new place somewhere in Jalan Kuching. Now she’s waiting for the renovations and wiring to be completed before she can move in. She decided to do it all up nicely so its rather extensive. We like to tease her about when is she actually goinna move to her new house. Hehe!

So anyway, she dragged Pam and Arai (poor them ) and went around for about 2 weeks looking for lights. She was very particular about the kinds of lights she wants. She really wants a chandelier (to hang over her dining table perhaps) and also assortments of lights for the inside and outside (balcony of her house).

Babe, why not just look for light fixtures online to get the basic ideas of designs you want. There are many types of lights here such as your favourite chandeliers and maybe even some home lighting - like those sex lights you always wanted for your bedroom. Hehe!

Oohh I can’t wait for Phuket! Less than 2 months to go! So excited. I need to get a new swimsuit though. I’ve had mine for years and looking back at the Pangkor pics, they don’t really fit me well, especially at the bust. Are my boobs getting bigger? LOL!

I wish I had the body to put on a bikini. Yea, in my dreams. Haha! Well at least I can still go window shopping for that one fine day (again, in my dreams) when I can squeeze myself into one. (Hey, at least I am secure about my physical appearance).

I really like Vix swimsuits designs, especially their 2008 collection. Take this really hot and sexy bikini on the left.

Its the Vix 2008 Biarritz slider triangle halter top. According to the website, "this triangle top has brass sliders to allow you to expand the top." I can already imagine this under a sheer blouse and slacks or tight jeans and it can be a really nice clubbing outfit. Two in one!

This website has all the brand names of bikinis that I’ve never heard of - Vix Bikinis, L Space Bikinis and Betsey Johnson Swimwear - all for sale too!. But one thing’s for sure, their designs are all so gorgeous.

Now please excuse me as I drift off to dreamland…

The Pikom PC fair (http://pikom.org.my) is back in town. That’s where all the newest and best deals on computer gadgets and peripherals are available. It starts tomorrow (7 Dec) and ends on Sunday (9th Dec) in the KL Convention Center. A few ppl were asking me if I was going.

Personally I don’t really like to go to crowded places, if I can help it. Then what about clubs? I hear you say. Well, I *chose* to go to clubs and if its too crowded I can step out of the club for a breather. But have you *been* to the PC Fair? You can hardly walk through the throngs of people. And with all the stall owners screaming their wares, its like walking through a mayhem of craziness. Then the traffic jam going to the heart of KL.

I’d rather just stay at home and scout for tech bargains online. I kinda need to go look for new hard disk drives. I currently have 160GB and its filling up fast, what with my crazy addiction TV Series and downloading with VPN. Hehe! And the best part is, I’m not only limited to just this weekend, but updated info on bargains and special deals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They also have coupons to help me save more. Nice!

No more pushing, shoving and squeezing through the crowd to get the best deals!

Do you know what is the most important trip that I pack on holidays to the beach? Its my Pareo. A Pareo (not paria!) is a big piece of patterned cloth that is so versatile. Its also sometimes called a Sarong or (Beach) Wrap.

I bought my favourite one from Langkawi a few years back, its made from this blue chiffon, see-through like material and is printed with dolphins. Really nice! Then we have two flowery ones, one dark blue and the other dark pink.

The picture above is the Taufan’s paparazzi-like shot which he took while we were in Pangkor. Aree just bought that pareo from a store at the side of the beach, white with dragons. G’s was tied dyed pink - can’t remember where she got it tho.

Want to buy some Sarongs? You can head over to MadGringo and chose from many many different types of sarongs. I particularly like this blue one called Briland Sea Foam.

Looking at a Sarong really makes me feel like going to the beach and just relaxing, with toes in the sand and sitting at the side of the beach wearing shades and a hat. Like the tagline says “Watch more sunsets. Every day there’s one less of them.”

Ahh, I LOVE going for spa treatments. Nothing beats it, not even sex. The whole environment changes once u step in to the spa. The soothing piano instrumental music, the cool air, the subdued lighting. The feeling of strong hands kneading your back ensuring that every part of your sore, aching body is given the attention it deserves. Even imagining all that is making me relax right now.

But have you ever wondered how it is to maintain a spa? I guess first you have to find masseurs and people to handle the daily transactions and stuff. Then you hv to buy equipment like Hot Tub Covers and Spa Covers.

A Hot Tub Cover is used to cover the hot tub to ensure that no dirt goes into it, especially for those hot tubs that are in an open air area like in the garden. A Spa Cover is a mattress like thing for us to lie down on so we can get comfy. So get Spa Covers of Superior Quality at HotTubWorks.com.

Writing about this makes me wanna go to the spa! I need a pampering session, anyone volunteering?
