This morning, one of my colleagues announces that her resignation letter has been accepted by the company. Her last day will be on 15 August.*faint* I was surprise to hear that as I thought that the management could work things out with her. Ever since she tendered her resignation letter, I have been silently praying that she would be asked to reconsider her resignation. “You know, I don’t think the company has any intention to hire a new staff. So it is most likely that you will ‘inherit’ my existing job,” she added with a smile. Huh??! What ?!! *faint again* “Considering the additional workload, this is the best time for you to demand for a pay raise,” another smile followed.
Aiyo Sis, it’s not about getting a raise or what, but it’s more like, can I handle all the responsibilities?? Is it worth getting MORE PAY and in the same time MORE STRESS ?? I debated in my heart. Apparently, I was not in the mood to argue the point, so I just let it drop and focus on the certain things like my mounting paperwork.
Ever since my company secured a new business deal in KK early this month, I had to handle a lot of additional paperwork and deal with unfamiliar things like logistic. *sigh* At the end of the day, I often end-up with throbbing headache, muscles sores on my neck and shoulders due to prolonged keyboard use…and look something like our little friend here…
Now they are thinking of adding some more tasks? Oh, no! Thinking of the possibility alone is enough to cause me a headache. If it really happens, then I think I am going to die.
Today is Mama Mia’s Page 1st ever anniversary. A year ago, with the motivation from KaDusMama and Just, I officially started Mama Mia’s Page in blogspot. Thank you, guys!
So far, I have managed to publish a total of 153 posts, with average of 2 posts a week. I love blogging and am looking forward for more anniversaries to come. And I hope you will continue to support me. .jpg)
Hehe..to celebrate this occasion, I am enjoying an Ice-Cream Potong - Red Bean flavor, right now. Happy weekend everyone! Cheers. :)

As if you don’t already know this, the Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival 2009 is on-going. And I am dying to go shopping (I’m sure I am not alone in this). But since it is ‘bulan tua’…I hardly have the money to survive until the next pay day, let alone go for a shopping spree. Darn!
Last weekend, a friend and I were all set to go jalan-jalan at City Mall. Obviously, we cancelled it at the last minute. I mean what good it is to go window-shopping only to look longingly at those gorgeous clothes and shoes at discounted price, but just incapable of owning them? Argh! That is soooo heart-breaking! Neither of us wanted to be in that situation, so we thought better of it. *sigh* Another 10 days to go before pay day. ..*roll eyes*
So, to occupy my time, I decided to bake a cake. What else? But the family favourite cake – butter cake.Hehe…I’m merely a beginner, still learning my way through baking. Surprisingly, the cake turns out to be not bad. The texture was tender, moist and delicious. In short, everything was ngam to my liking. All at home love it and so does my neighbour’s kids.
Hehe…you are most welcome to try your baking skill. Here is the recipe which I got from BakingMum , complete with the easy steps :-
Ingredients :
200gm caster sugar
250gm butter
6 large eggs (at room temperature)
300gm self-rising flour (sifted)
1tsp vanilla essence
½ to ¾ cup of evaporated milk
Method :-
1. Preheat the oven to 160ºC.
2. Beat butter with caster sugar until white and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time and mix well. Add vanilla essence and evaporated milk and mix well.
3. Fold in sifted flour into butter mixture and mix well. Pour into greased and lined cake tray for about *an hour.
*I didn’t exactly bake it for 1 hr. After 50 minutes, I did the toothpick test to check its doneness, and-voila!-, a nice and yummy butter cake. :)

It is almost a year now since I started blogging in this humble page of mine. So far, I’m glad that I started this hobby. Not only has it enabled me to make more friends (most of them, I’ve never met in person), it has never fail me in generating extra income. Whoever said that blogging is a waste of time, they are wrong. Blogging is a profitable hobby and you really can make money blogging.
These days, there are many companies out there who are willing to venture into blog advertising as an alternative to conventional (TV, radio, print media) marketing tool. Besides being a cheaper means of advertising, it is equally effective in reaching out to targeted customer. Thanks to PayingPost for their dedication in bringing in together advertisers and bloggers all around the globe in one friendly marketplace to meet each other's need. In a nutshell, here's how things work at PayingPost:-
· Advertisers create review jobs and specify bloggers requirements
· Qualified blogger will write description based review
· PayingPost reviews the completed job and notifies both parties
Writing a review for a product/service may look easy but it is also time consuming. Before we do a review, we need to ‘know’ the product/service itself. This way, we can produce a good quality review. In order to ‘know’ the product/service, of course, we need to labor some effort in it. And that effort is going to cost us time and money.
Okay, as we are getting paid to do a review, it is only fair for us to write an honest one. Therefore, it is inevitable to put our personal claims in it. That’s fine, as long as we have facts to support them. Claims that are supported by solid facts are more trustworthy. And yes, do make the effort to browse through the Net on tips and secrets on how to write
better reviews .It will be useful in the long run. Perhaps, one day you might be commanding $100 for a brief review? *wink-wink*
One more thing that I learned, it is always easier to review something that we can relate to. So if you come across an assignment with attractive pay but have absolutely no interest in the product/service, make yourself a favour, don’t take it. After all, you won’t be able to come up with a good review if you are being forced to do it. Why be so greedy? Make way for other bloggers. There will be other assignment for you. :)
