			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re a regular here, you&#8217;d know that I update my blog daily before <a href="http://mellomouse.benjac.us/we-are-expecting/">I started growing a life last year.</a> It wasn&#8217;t because I was busy, but because I&#8217;ve gotten so sick that I can&#8217;t even sit straight and <a href="http://mellomouse.benjac.us/drown-in-my-own-spit/">called the toilet sink my BFF.</a></p>
<p>I began to pick back up the pace again in December when the <a href="http://mellomouse.benjac.us/morning-sickness/">horrid morning sickness</a> took a back seat. And now as my days are quickly outnumbered, I&#8217;m stuck with the reality of a blogger&#8217;s block. I&#8217;m actually running out of things to write about! *argh*</p>
<p>Soon I&#8217;ll be too busy being a Mom to bother blogging. Even when I could possibly have tons of things to write about &#8212; like <a href="http://similac.com/feeding-nutrition/diaper-decoder">all the different colours of baby poo</a> and how to change a nappy without being &#8220;aimed&#8221; at *LOL* </p>
<p>I shouldn&#8217;t complain. And I hope you wouldn&#8217;t too, because nothing beats cradling your own &#8220;Made-In-Me&#8221; and having him/her stare right back with those innocent eyes ♥</p>
<p>For the time being, I&#8217;ll try to find something interesting to blog about to fill the space before Mello goes code blue *beeeppp*</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do most people do on the 1st day of the year? Probably sleeping in after a night of partying the day before. As for us, it feels just like any other weekend although it is clearly Friday. And that means it&#8217;s Fish for the day!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Milk with your Soup?</strong><br />
Satisfying Dinner in a Bowl *burp*</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt92/benjac/Foodies/091221_4.jpg" alt="Fish Head Noodles at Woo Pin Restaurant" /></p>
<p>So did you make your new year&#8217;s resolution? I&#8217;ve totally forgotten about it, and I don&#8217;t think I made one last year either. Why do people bother actually? It ought to be daily resolutions rather than yearly. If it&#8217;s for the better, why should it wait per annum? *hmm*</p>
<p>The day is ending fast in a few hours and the 1st day will soon become yesterday. I&#8217;d like to say thank you for all the new year SMSes that&#8217;s still pouring in. I hope it is still not too late to wish everyone again a Blessed New Year <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

JERUSALEM (Reuters) &#8211; Religiously devout Jews barred by rabbis from surfing the Internet may now &#8220;Koogle&#8221; it on a new &#8220;kosher&#8221; search engine, the site manager said on Sunday.</p>
<p>Yossi Altman said Koogle, appears to meet the standards of Orthodox rabbis, who restrict use of the Web to ensure followers avoid viewing sexually explicit material <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSTRE55D0UQ20090614">[...]</a>
</p></blockquote>
<p>The logo is cleverly done with its Double O as eyes, and wearing a Kippah. Of course, not forgetting the ingenious name that <strike><strong>piggy</strong>backs</strike> resembles Google *LOL*</p>
<p>Unless you read Hebrew &#8212; there&#8217;s an English version, click tiny US flag &#8212; and lives in or visiting Israel, there&#8217;s nothing much you can do with it. But definitely a good effort by the Rabbis!</p>
<p>Btw, anything you search that is deemed &#8220;inappropriate&#8221; will appear as The Page Cannot Be Found&#8230;</p>
<p>Try it out yourself <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Are these old news?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m about 3 years late since its first release. I bet plenty of preteens out there still have these posters on their bedroom wall. Given two decades back, I might just too. But today, I am <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">sadly</span> no longer the target.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt92/benjac/TV/disneys-high-school-musical1.jpg" alt="High School Musical 1" width="400" height="404" /></p>
<blockquote><p>My Verdict: <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/common/customer-reviews/stars-2-0._V47081936_.gif" alt="2 stars" /></p>
<p>Back in 2006, this was a big hit. It was Disney&#8217;s most successful Original Movie then.</p>
<p>So is it fair that I only give it a 2 star? I suspect it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m watching it 3 years late *lol*</p>
<p>Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens looked awkward. Some of the songs were ok, but I preferred the duets. Although not all were originally sung by Efron but blended in with Andrew Seely&#8217;s voice.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt92/benjac/TV/480px-HSM2poster.jpg" alt="High School Musical 2" width="400" height="501" /></p>
<blockquote><p>My Verdict: <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/common/customer-reviews/stars-2-5._V47081936_.gif" alt="2.5 stars" /></p>
<p>The acting improved and the songs were better. But I think the story could have been better.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt92/benjac/TV/hsm3poster.jpg" alt="High School Musical 3" width="400" height="593" /></p>
<blockquote><p>My Verdict: <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/common/customer-reviews/stars-5-0._V47081936_.gif" alt="5 stars" width="64" height="12" /></p>
<p>I enjoyed this the most! Maybe because it is more recent? There&#8217;s definitely a lot of improvements compared to the first and second.</p>
<p>The songs are way catchier and there are a lot more dance variations. The story also ends very well. I wouldn&#8217;t mind watching this again.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s like what they say, Third time is the Charm! <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">So how about the Forth?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt92/benjac/TV/334u7vl.jpg" alt="High School Musical 4" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Efron and Hudgens would not be starring though.</p>
<p>I must confess that before I watched any of the HSM sequels, I wasn&#8217;t very fond of Efron. I wonder why *hmmm* But now that I have, has my impression of him changed?&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I wasn&#8217;t a fan then, so would I be now?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt92/benjac/TV/17-again-poster.jpg" alt="17 Again" width="383" height="569" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Download in process&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In just half a day, my mailbox could already be filled with at least 10 &#8211; 15 Fwds. They are often jokes, inspiring stories, someone needs money so please fwd to your friends, daily dose of whatnot, and occasionally warning emails of &#8220;actual&#8221; experiences *hmmm*</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure about you, but 9 out of 10 times, I just select all &#8212; after deciding if the subject is worth clicking into &#8212; and press Delete.</p>
<p>Here is one warning example that I&#8217;ve just received. It survived my trashbin and I&#8217;m glad it did &#8212; although I think I&#8217;ve read something similar before.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Let&#8217;s summarise.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://redstick.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/wolf_in_sheeps_clothing.jpg?w=404&amp;h=447" alt="Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" width="300" height="332" /></p>
<blockquote><p>A harmless lady was pulled over by a policeman at a secluded spot while on her way to work.</p>
<p>He asked for her IC, and later asked her to get down from the car so he can check the car boot. </p>
<p>Suspicious &#8212; definitely a good gut instinct! &#8212; she immediately called her colleague and had him on the phone the whole time.</p>
<p>When she asked for the policeman&#8217;s ID, he screamed saying he has the rights to stop her car.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">But does he?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Do we know <a href="http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/index.php?option=com_docman&amp;task=doc_view&amp;gid=2005&amp;Itemid=332">Our Rights</a> when stopped by a police officer?</p>
<p>Thank God nothing happened to her at the end. But given the situation &#8212; being defenseless and alone &#8212; anything could have happened! Could we really tell from a Real Cop and Fake Cop? A real police ID from a fake one?</p>
<p>Ladies, and even Gents, please take extra caution. The world is no longer what it used to be. There&#8217;s a very thin line stretching across from being paranoid and taking precaution. Either way, to be safe is better than gambling with chances. Anytime!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It feels like it was only yesterday that the <a href="http://mellomouse.benjac.us/newyear2009">&#8220;new year&#8221;</a> began *chuckles* In less than 10 days, it would be mid year. Where has the days gone to?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/01/12/shredder-calendar-1.jpg" alt="Chrono Shredder by Susanna Hertrich" /></p>
<p>When we were young, we wish for time to pass faster. So that we can grow up today &#8212; no more exams! &#8212; and do all sorts of &#8220;fun&#8221; things &#8212; earning a paycheck and spending it all! &#8212; that adults do tomorrow *hmmm*</p>
<p>But now that I am &#8220;older&#8221;, I wish time would move slower. Simply because with every passing minute, is an hour gone too soon wondering if I&#8217;ve lived, rather than just exist.</p>
<p>I feel a little blue today. And conscious.</p>
<p>What do I say to the Lord when He asks me: What did you do with your borrowed time? *fidgets*</p>
<p>Do you have your answer ready?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Oh no! *shrieks*</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And I mean, s-h-r-i-e-k-s! <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>When I first saw the headline minutes ago &#8212; perhaps the last person on Earth to &#8212; I was literally filled with genuine excitement. But then within split seconds, I was flooded by total Dismay! New Line Cinema has made my must-have-no-matter-what Picoult book into a film *sobs*</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Can they pull it off?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="500" height="302" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/17sIyLOm0Xc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/17sIyLOm0Xc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">They always edit the good parts for the trailer. . .</p>
<p>I know I am being a brat. But I cannot help it. Not when they are turning one of my favourite Picoult into a future Rotten Tomatoes.</p>
<p>We all know the inevitable fate of books turned motion pictures &#8212; they Disappoint us firsthand readers. They lack the book&#8217;s original depth of details because so much is being edited off.</p>
<p>If I am the author, would I allow it? It sure feels like mutilating my Baby&#8217;s beautiful being! *shrieks again*</p>
<p>*Sigh*</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;d want to watch it. Maybe next year? When it&#8217;s available on DVD and I can download it online. Hopefully by then, I&#8217;ve forgotten much of the book&#8217;s details and can enjoy it without noticing any missing limbs <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.jodipicoult.com/images/my-sisters-keeper-lg.jpg" alt="My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult" width="430" height="669" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.jodipicoult.com/my-sisters-keeper.html#synopsis">Who is My Sister&#8217;s Keeper?</a></p>
<blockquote><p>My Verdict:<img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/common/customer-reviews/stars-5-0._V47081849_.gif" alt="5 stars" /></p>
<p>This book played hide-and-seek with me for a whole year. I couldn&#8217;t find it at any bookstore, warehouse sales or even at KLIA. Finally my sister bought it for me in Indonesia, Dec last year. And it was worth the bounty hunting experience!</p>
<p>When you read the book&#8217;s synopsis, you&#8217;d expect it to be a tearjerker. It is emotional, heartbreaking and above all, Courageous.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve not read it yet, then you simply must.</p>
<p>If you are not a Jodi Picoult fan, then this will surely make you one! *3 thumbs up*</p></blockquote>

Say some twenty odd years *wipe dusts over shoulders* but I can still remember it as though it was today <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">♪ ♫  That&#8217;s why this is our place&#8230; at McDonald&#8217;s  ♪ ♫ ♪</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NMTPlzw1pVQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NMTPlzw1pVQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>This definitely brings back fond memories of a mischievous childhood. I used to sing along whenever the advertisement is on &#8212; the beauty of childhood innocence &#8212; and even danced along to the Good Time Step on the staircase *bleh* </p>
<p>After all these years, my favourite is still their timeless signature McChicken. And nothing beats a McDonald&#8217;s fresh-from-the-fryer French Fries. I can munch 2 large order anytime! Sprinkle some black pepper on it and dip it with ketchup &#8212; I&#8217;m Lovin&#8217; It *yums*</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So what is your Mc-Favourite?</p>
