Caring Is Not Only Sharing...

BUFFET LUNCH... We made reservation for a nice buffet a week before we came to Las Vegas, the buffet is one of its kind in Caesar Palace, Baccanal is the name of the restaurant.  My kids were saying that we must have at least one good and memorable meal while here in Las Vegas and they chose the seafood buffet.  It cost around $90 per pax and being Asians, sure we would be attracted to just seafood!  Alaska Crabs... hairy crabs....lobster claws..  clams etc etc...  Oh, I did not take much photos on what we ate, just too busy stuffing in and to take out the camera with dirty hands and all.  LOL.... Just the initial stage and after that, it was all about eating and eating... oh, by the way, they only allowed 90 minutes in the restaurant, but I don't think they timed anyone... LOL.. Anyway, we took that amount of time to finish our food, sipping free champayne and mocktail too.  What a scrumptious meal... from mains to desserts, I think we only had one meal done for that day itself...

  If you’ve been suffering from a lack of confidence recently, it’s time to do something about that. So many people struggle to get to where they want to be and they struggle to make the most of their careers because they’re being held back by a lack of confidence, that’s not something that you want to let yourself go through.

FROM THE AIRPORT, we took a shuttle bus to our car rental place nearby.  Budget is the name of the car company we rented the car from.  Yes, really budget rate, I think it is around $200 for 5 days and we planned to utilize the transport while in Las Vegas.  LOL...  Next, we checked in to our apartment where we would be staying for 5 nights.  It is called Westgate and it is a two room apartment.  We requested for ground floor for easy accessibility, anyway, it has only two floors.  hehehehe... Check in time was at 4pm and we had three hours to go before checking in.  We went to take lunch at a Japanese place in Chinatown, waited half an hour before we were seated and by then, we were super hungry except for the baby, of course.... Once we reached the apartment, I did not feel like going out.... "why don't you youngsters go out and get all the food stuff we need and I stay with the baby?"  Sounds good, eh....  And after that, it was a night of relaxation for me.....  I sle

  When you are managing your personal finances , you always need to be aware of the problems that can drain your bank balance.

It’s possible that a serious injury stops you from earning a fixed income which is always going to be a nightmare. To deal with this, we recommend that you do think about exploring options such as disability insurance. This means that if you are impacted by a long term injury then you can claim the cushion of cash that you need. You might want to address what caused the injury. Be aware that it’s common for an injury to get worse after a poor surgical treatment. If this does happen, you should definitely think about speaking to medical malpractice lawyers to claim the damages you deserve.  Bad Mortgage Next, you should think about how a bad mortgage can impact your bank balance.

FLYING ON NEW YEAR 2022.... We went to Las Vegas on the 1st January 2022.  The flight was only an hour plus away, it was a short one, just what I like.  Since it was a short flight, I did not watch any downloaded movies, just listened to some songs and spent the time taking pictures of the scenery from the window seat.  Baby was good too, he spent his time playing with his mom's iPad... and another half hour napping before our plane landed in Las Vegas....  These are some of the shots I managed to capture while passing through the desserts.....  Amazing scenery of the mountains covered in snow.... Baby and I before boarding.... And this marked our first New Year flight 2022...

The beautiful beaches of North Carolina draw visitors from around the world. Noted for the breathtaking dunes that dot the sand-covered beachfront, the North Carolina shoreline is also home to many types of sea life. For your next vacation, you can plan on observing the plethora of creatures who make the sea and its surrounding environs home.  Crustaceans The crustaceans of North Carolina sport spiny and hard exoskeletons and many-jointed legs. Admittedly, several eventually find their way into the delicious seafood dishes of North Carolina chefs.

  A businesses website is fundamental to its overall success. A badly put together sire, with a lot of outdated and irrelevant content in a seemingly incoherent manner, is not going to get you anywhere. It will definitely reflect negatively against you. If you have not given your website much thought until now, or if it is pretty basic and the content has not been updated for a while, it is time you paid it much more attention. Pretty much all businesses worth their salt have a great website. And if you need ideas, just check out your competitors. You're bound to find something suitable. Okay, so here are some tips on building your own business website: Image from Pixabay Site Plan Before you start creating content and taking photos, you need to work out exactly what you need. It is probably worth doing a little investigation into similar websites and discovering more about how theft is laid out and all the information that is required.

BACK IN ST JOSE...  a few days before ushing in 2022.... My kids got to work during the last week of 2021 and so we got back home on Sunday after Christmas.  It was kind of relaxing but still got to work and anyway, it was a quiet relaxing week for us.   We made two special dishes before the end of 2021, something worth mentioning about, mainly because the reason is that I did not cook for these two meals.  LOL... These two meals below are prepared and cooked by my daughter-in-law..... Her famous Hainamese chicken rice! All done from scratch... including the rice and soup....  Oh, that includes the bean sprouts in claypot too... hahaha... Now I learn a thing or two.. Next time I can do these back in Malaysia.... On new year eve, she made this fusion of east and west.... Chicken chop plus sides.... Can soup this time... LOL.... Garlic bread, sauteed french beans, boiled radish and chicken thigh.... Yes, it was a nice evening dinner for the three of us....  The baby, as usual, is always

Credit - Pixabay CC0 License A strong workplace setting is a vital foundation for all successful businesses. So, if there’s only one change that you wish to implement in 2022, upgrading this setting is the answer.  It may seem like a daunting prospect, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Simply learn to focus on the five factors below and a positive transformation will be assured. Let’s get started. #1. Prevent overcrowding After returning to the office after lockdowns, most employees will want to avoid crowding. Rather than cutting staff numbers or moving to a new business location, you should focus on how you handle staffing. Outsourcing common jobs to freelancers or other businesses can work wonders. It can reduce costs while also saving valuable space, which creates a comfortable setting. It also means you can invest more time in your on-site teams. Crucially, you can be sure that the work will be completed to high standards at all times.  #2. Invest in safety Safety has always be

ABSENT....  For the past couple of weeks.... Now I am back again! To continue on my Christmas post, *yes, very backdated, I know*.....  Desserts came after the main meal, a big thank you to our youngest chef who has a real passion for cooking and baking... Her name is Kaye, only in her early 20s and she really cooks and bakes real good food!  She is planning to open a cafe soon... just find for the right location and timing... meanwhile, she does all the orders online, just type in Dining With Kaye in the Instagram and we will find lots of good and yummy food there, mainly desserts, which is really my kind of food! Here goes...one of her Christmas packs....  Inside her box of goodies.... She does everything from scratch... And I think I have tried a bit of everything inside this box....  Fudges, choc lava... butter cookies.... among them....  She brought over a tray of Tiramisu! Her signature cake... And she has so many orders for this cake.... I am missing this now... Never tasted suc

I had a ton of free time on a particular rainy Saturday afternoon. It was a perfect day to be lazy in the chilly weather. I decided to first warm myself up with some food. I cooked some hot soup and braised some pan-fried tofu, having them over freshly cooked white rice. It was just perfect for the day as I warmed up over lunch, making it more comfortable to stay in and laze around. I took out my Nintendo DS from my drawer and headed for the couch. I made myself comfortable and then started the only game I have played on the DS over the past year, Cooking Mama. Cooking Mama is this cooking simulator game where a character instructs you how to prepare ingredients and cook dishes. It is a very casual game that I can just start and not worry about stopping as most dishes can be completed in a short time. I still have quite a number of dishes I have not started cooking in the game and so I got going in my quest to complete the game. An hour into breaking eggs into a pan, stirring ingre
