Some of you maybe aware of or have heard about stem cell research. Some of people believe that stem cell research is a controversial issue. They are generally opposed to such research. They feel that research using stem cells derived from embryos is unethical. Now we are talking about umbilical cord not the embryo. Umbilical cord blood for treating often-fatal diseases is the ultimate in recycling. It can saves lives, and there is no risk to the mother or baby. Besides, the blood-enriching cells would have been discarded anyway. Researchers believe cord blood will play an ever-expanding role in fighting debilitating illnesses such as leukemia and sickle cell. For now, only about 2 percent of all cord blood is stored nationwide, but as that number grows, so will the likelihood of achieving success. No one believes it is a panacea, but cord blood offers a welcome ray of hope to patients often children who cant find a bone marrow match.

Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) explained that the authorities have not come down hard on websites and bloggers because Section 3 of the Communications and Multimedia Act prohibits any form of censorship.I understand Malaysian government blocked Malaysia Today .I think mostly Malaysia internet can't access the former site Malaysia Today and now Raja Petra changed his domain to mt.harapanmalaysia .I think it's ridiculous to block Malaysia Today.Why?.Isn't the government afraid the rakyat to know the truth?.As Raja Petra said let's spread this message far and wide. Tell all your friends and family that Malaysia Today has died.It is now called MT Harapan Malaysia and you can access it at mt.harapanmalaysia.com .

Oh man!!.I had a very busy weekend!!..Our den still in the mess and I have to make appointment for Tree guy to quote the trees we are going to take down.I think have called at least 8 companies and at last Eliot chose the last guy who came.This coming week,this tree guy going to come with big truck,Bobcat and etc machinery..As some of you know I love basketball,I make sure I watch the final Olympic match between USA and Spain.I have the feeling US team going to get gold medal with Kobe Bryant and James Le Born as the leader.Yea...that right US team finally got GOLD !!In fact I was watching Olympic every night until wee hours.Yes,it's really tired but what to do!!

As you know I have plenty of tomatoes from my garden.So on Saturday I decided to cook vegetable curry,suddenly my door bell ring,my good and long time friend,Lee come to visit me from the city with her family.I serve them curry vegetable for lunch.Luckily I cook some creamy Wacky Mac ,so I serve that to their girls who don't eat spicy food.I recalled years ago Eliot had culture shock when my friends come to visit us without appointment,date or notice!!.I told him,we Asian don't practice,book the date to visit friends.Anyway,I live far away from everybody,I 'm so happy and thrill if any one of them willing to travel from the city to visit me.After lunch we headed to the Mall for the girls.They want to shop for "back to school" clothes.Not any clothes,these young girls, only like certain brand of clothes like Hollisters,American Eagles,Abercrombie and younger trend clothes

After we come back from shopping,I serve them Assam Laksa dinner.
Look good ,yea?.The key is "har koh"aka shrimp paste!!My friends love it!.It's really taste good !
We don't go out shopping without Mishu,right?.Mishu want to visit Disney Channel!! hahaha!!
She is a dog lover.She thought she can sit on the plush dog.I quickly stop her before she damaged the display toy instead ask her to pose for me.
Yes,we are at VS store front.Any pink underwear for $5?
I promised Mishu to get her Starbuck coffee but unfortunately the line is too long..A sale man opposite store giving out Slurpee for tasting and Mishu keep going for more .My friend decided to get her a cup of Slurpee.
We are waiting for the girls at this store....
That Hollister brown bag belonged to me.I found some pants on sale.I also bought Mishu a skort on sale at Disney store.My friend and family stay chit chat and hang out until 11 pm.I promise to bake them a chiffon cake so they wait for me!!..Now I'm a chiffon cake expert!! heheheh!! .
On Sunday,I plan DIY work in my kitchen.I bought a can of paint on sale at Sears. I prefer semi gloss paint rather than flat paint.The reason for semi gloss ,is Mishu.When she print her little hands all over the wall ,I can just wipe it off with sponge .
Look ,this backsplash is just a year old.It's so rusty due to water and oil splash when I wash and cook.We regret ,we didn't order the chrome material instead.Of course the chrome price is double than what we pay.As they said you paid for what you get!. I wipe off the surface with ZEP's de-greased first.
I make a big mistake!!.I didn't know I have to prime it first before I paint.

Look much better after paint,right?.White color for kitchen look more clean and crisp.
This project took me more than 10 hours..Why 10 hours?.tell you later...
Did you see the rust come out after the paint dry?.
I think I have repaint for more than 6-7 times.Every time the rust show up,I repaint again but must wait for the paint to dry first,then I can repaint.
At last I can't wait for the paint to dry anymore."The God of Sleep"calling me at wee hours.I should repaint again but today I 'm busy preparing for my Wilton's cake decoration class for tomorrow graduation.Any idea how to solve my rusty backsplash problem?.Now I hope I coated the backsplash with extra paint ,the rust will not show up again.

This evening our next door neighbour gave us some tomatoes and cucumber from their garden.When I open the front door to throw garbage for tomorrow collection, I saw a white plastic bag on the floor.It's must be from them!.I didn't hear any door bell .I guess they must have a healthy soil and plants.I still didn't have the chance to visit their garden yet.Maybe tomorrow I'm going to invite myself to see their garden without invitation,in a way to thanks them for the vegetables.!!hehehe!.Must put mask on my face(thick skin face)!!

I come from BIG feet family,so I had hard time find affordable and comfortable large size shoes in Malaysia.I used to have corn at both of my pinkie toes due to the shoes problem.Luckily I can find larger size shoes in US,and now my corn gone forever!!Even today Malaysia don't cater shoes larger size than 8 to the consumer.If I have $$$ and time,I will definitely open BIG shoes stores in Malaysia!!..Previously when I was in Kayel,I shop at every department store looking comfort shoes for my mom and sister,but zero!.nada!.We went to Sogo,Isetan,Parkson ,Bali,Hadyai and etc looking for larger size shoes but these store only carried the size up to 9 not 10.Not much selection on the style and size.I was surprised why Malaysia shoes manufacture doesn't survey what the consumer need or it's everyone have smaller feet?.I mean some people have wider feet and some have longer feet,right?.My friend 's mom have size 7 feet but she still can't find a suitable shoes in Malaysia coz she have wider feet.My mom's have the same problem.As we woman after giving birth their feet tend to get larger or bigger.And when they get older their feet will get wider due to osteoporosis.I was so disappointed when the search for larger and wider shoes is not available in Asia.Anyway,in US we can easily get any size,style or height of shoes .So I decided to buy shoes on sale for my sister, mom and ME in US!!.Too bad USPS don't have sea shipping anymore and air shipping is far too expensive for me to send shoes for them.Now for me to give them these shoes I have to wait for my family to come and visit me or me visit them . Look what I bought so far!!.
I like this pair even it's a bit larger.I can always wear socks..
With this price how can I pass this shoes?
I think this brand shoes is mostly design for comfort feet.It's look presentable,right?
with this price,I don't think I can pass the sale!!How about you?
I get both sandal at Target..both under $5.00!! good for hot summer!!
I used to wear colorful design but now getting older,taste also changed slightly.
With that price,what a catch ,right?
oh! bought this sandal at Kohl's.I told Eliot it's cost less than $3.00!! he said why don't they give you FREE!..He said the material itself cost more than $3.00!!he really a joker!
I think Dr Scholl's shoes is good for senior woman.It's really comforts.I hope my mom will like it.I get it at Walmart for $14.99.I know this brand in Malaysia is really expensive!! I get the brown color Mary Jane shoes from TJ Maxx at $24.99 and the black from Rose's in PA when I visited Gertrude.Usually I look for branded shoes at discount store like TJ Maxx and Marshall..
I think this shoes is good for formal occasion.Maybe I waiting for someone to invite me for a grand dinner?.*hint*.Anyone??
Vera Wang low line shoes..Hurry up go to Kohl's!!
Both are my sneaker..Bought at Walmart under $10.00.I used to wear Rebook ,Nike and Addias but now I don't feel comfortable in their shoes anymore.Sometimes branded shoes look good but not comfortable at all!!.I still have plenty of unopened shoes ,boot,high heels in my closet..After giving birth to Mishu my feet getting bigger and wider..So what should I do with all these shoes?.I will pass to Mishu...sooner or later she can wear mine!.I bought the above shoes in a month period!!.You see ,how much I love shoes especially I can find my size easily here!!
