blogging over an old fashioned cup of teh tarik (pulled tea) and roti canai

I had a bag of unopened flour in my pantry and was going to open it for baking last week and horror of all horror! I realised that in the cupboard had some flying insects as I open the doors. I didn’t know what they were and thought they were mosquitos. My friend saw it and told me those are flour moths. I knew why now. I had an opened cake mix that I didn’t want to use and I had left it there for a few months so I quickly took it out, put it in a bag and threw it straight into the bin. Gosh, I cleaned out the pantry straight away check the unopened bags of flour (they were alright) and looked online to research about these flour moths. I found that you can actually buy this things called flour moth traps to get rid of any flour moths that may be lurking in them. It works like a sticky trap and the moths are stuck on it and prevent further breeding as they fly around. I’m going to buy a few of these and place it in the pantry cupboards to make sure.

Is it Me?

I know we should be clearing stuff before our Chinese New Year but my PC corner really is in need of an overhaul. I don’t like the desk and chair that I’m using currently. My desk is in boring grey and the chair is squeaking! I would probably have to source for a nicer and trendy looking office furniture if I am going to be here blogging for at least most part of the day. I would love to have the kind of chair that has a high back, arms and if it’s not too expensive, one that can decline too. It would be great to sit here and enjoy the online movies I’ve been bookmarking to watch. So where should I start?

Gosh, I need to clear my desk first! I can’t find anything in this pile here! Perhaps it’s me!! LOL! Excuses, excuses! But I’m pretty sure that if I get a new set of furniture, I’ll definitely feel better!
