While it's great to enjoy the game on your own or in a bar, there is nothing like getting together with a few friends and watching the game in the comfort of your home own. So, why not make it a celebration, and throw a watch party.   A watch party gathers people at one place to view an event such as a sports match or a movie together in real-time.

It can be a great way to share good food, drinks and keep up to date with sports news ( https://sportnews.in/ ) while enjoying the game with your close friends and family. So, if you're thinking about throwing a watch party, here are a few tips that can help you get started:  Get Snacks  Food is one of the best parts of a watch party.

HOT AND SUNNY....  Though it is autumn now, there are some days which the sun comes out happily shining upon us.  And on this Sunny Sunday, we took the opportunity to visit a pumpkin fair.  Not really a big maze as I expected, just a smaller one where we can just walk around and take pictures and then go home.  LOL.... Well, for the kid, it is his first time so the purpose is to take some fall pictures, and that was it.... Anyway, I don't think the little fella knows what we were doing.... let the adults lead!  At the entrance.... $4 per person....  So this place is called Queens... and the small prince sat there instead....  Too tiny to notice! Pumpkins here, there and everywhere..... A tent for people to carve the pumpkins.... And of course, all the rides which we did not take... Malaysians have sun phobia... I kept looking for sheds to go! Small maze.... We were there earlier before the crowd....  By noon, there were more people.... Pumpkins here and there.....  Best time to tak

This article will discuss making your home less susceptible to damage caused by harsh weather conditions and other factors that could lead to costly repairs. Check on Your HVAC System Checking the HVAC system is a must-do before winter. If you’re still using the old furnace from your parents’ house, it’s better to have them come and look at it or even replace it. The last thing you want during an unexpected cold snap is for your HVAC system to go down. There are a lot of signs you can look for to determine if your HVAC system is ready for winter or not. First, make sure that you change and clean all the filters as this will help with airflow throughout the home during heating mode. Second, check on any leaks around doors and windows because even small ones over time could lead to big problems such as mould growth in places where there shouldn’t be a

The pressure can easily lead to poor decisions too. If you want to stop this from happening to your business, then these are the top mistakes you need to avoid making. Skipping out on the Planning Phase Planning may well be a tedious process, but if you do not have a solid plan, then you will end up struggling overall.

Ideally, you would have a business plan, a marketing plan and a financial plan. If you can write down objectives for the above three points, then you will already be putting yourself on the path to success. If you need some help here, don’t overlook hiring a developer for a startup purposes. Source: Pexels (CC0 License

ROUTINE LIFE NOW.... No running here and there, mostly in the house and going out during weekends, that is my kind of life here in San Jose.   There is nothing much going on here, except the weather now is cold, I am having good restful sleep at night. perhaps due to the energy all used up during the day.  Taking care of an active baby is no joke for a retiree like me, despite the used-up battery, my pains and creaking diminishes when I see and hear the baby's smiles and laughter... Tiring but satisfying.... I want to know when my weary bones give up on me... LOL... so far, they are still intact and creaks only when I sit too long on the floor.... no more spring chicken like my son and daughter in law who can spring up easily!  Gone are the days..... Most days I cook... on and off, my son and his wife would take over the wok... My son's special Penang fried koay teow.... Using shrimps, chinese sausage and eggs.... Too bad no spring onions on that day... Messy at the sides.... L

FALL IS HERE... sometimes it is cold till I have to wear long sleeves and pants, but today is sunny.  I am still surviving with short sleeves and shorts at this moment.  LOL....  We have a very small mini size area and the soil is very fertile.  During the summer, they were very productive, I mean the plants, not the humans.  :)  Every now and then, these need to be plucked, I like the cherry tomatoes, they are very sweet even when eaten raw.  Oh, I forgot to take the cilipadi pictures, too bad... they are pretty dried up by now.  Buying cilipadi (hot chillies) in the malls is not cheap and during this season, we have to pluck them and put them in the freezer.  The plants will go into "hibernation" during the cold season.....  Sometimes I eat them raw and most times, I just add to the vegetables I cook....  For flavor.... LOL... Capsicum and they come in odd shapes.... See..... short and stubby..... Butt shape too! This one is most normal.....  Oh, we did not plant these.....

TRAVELING MADE EASY.... is happening now in Malaysia, no need to apply for police permit or getting My Travel Pass approval.  Good or not good?  As for me, at the endof the day, we, the people have to take our own precaution, we have to face risks if we want to go out freely and at the same time, life just have to go on.  The virus is definitely now here to stay...  Over here, I also try not to go out unnecessarily, the numbers here are low, just a few hundreds but we do not actually know the real figures, right?  So it is like in Malaysia, "sendiri jaga diri".....  So most days I prepare my own breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Breakfast as usual is very simple, followed by lunch, mostly noodles or leftover food from previous day and dinner, I try to have one or two dishes done by then.  Juggling an active baby who sleeps one hour nap in between, there is not much time to do what I want to do.  LOL... With this routine, my blog is often left neglected and for my readers, please
