Blogging Business

I have not blog since October 11. This blogging business is something I do only when I have nothing else to fill up my time. My time is usually filled with work, work and more work. To me, blogging needs effort and I find it rather time consuming. Apart from that, I am not a good writer. I can't seem to find things to write about. That is why my blogs are mainly collections and records of everything I find interesting, inspiring, humorous and enlightening. Thus my mushy hints, mushy quotes, mushy facts, mushy jokes ect. I hope in time to come, I will be able to put in more of my own thoughts.

Mushy Quotes :

Mushy Hints

To thaw fish without losing its freshly-caught flavour; just thaw it in milk. The milk will help draw out the "frozen" taste. Or try soaking fish in vinegar and water before cooking it for a sweet, tender taste.

Clothes with a button-up front can sometimes cause embarrassment for women when our undergarments or certain parts of the body are exposed through the gaps in between the buttons. Using safety pins might damage the fabric and cause unsightly bulges. Use double-sided adhesive tape instead. Cut the tape into a length of about 6cm and cut this strip lenghtwise again into two or three strips. Then stick each strip onto your dress or shirt, in between two buttons. You can also apply this method to keep bra straps from showing when you are wearing a sleeveless top. Just stick the tape between your top and bra straps.
