Suzette's Parenting and Breastfeeding Blog

Below is a paid review.

If you are parents trying to locate a daycare for your children, you may want to try using Daycare Bear.

This site was launched in Dec 2005, and it covers all the followings:

If you follow my blog regularly, you would know it took me a while to find a good daycare for Ian. In fact, I started out clueless where they are located! After getting a list of them, I have to call/visit each and everyone to confirm the minimum age they take-in, as Ian was only 2.5 years old then. In Malaysia, you don’t get many of those that accept children below 4 years old.

Finding a daycare or play school is never easy, especially for us, new mommies. I have spent nearly 6 months before deciding that the current play school suits Ian most, and am happy that I’ve finally settled with this current one.

The first one Ian was enrolled last year, ended up a disaster. He might be too young then (2.5 years), but even I disliked the school. We decided to discontinue after 3 months (had to finish off the deposit month).

Ian was ‘free’ for a month while I searched for other options. I came across this current school, and brought Ian to visit 3 times before we finally enrolled him. He loved the place (of course with mommy around), during the 3 visits.

We tried it for a month, during the school holiday program. He had a mixed behavior – refused to go when DH sent him, okay when I sent him.

Last week, when I was in Houston, the meeting started with a security briefing.  That was the first time I heard about this Bump Key security issue.

Do you know that it takes very little training for literally anyone to pick any locks?  Millions of locks on houses and even padlocks can be opened within a second if you know the trick!  And the trick has been told and has been sold all over in the internet for quite a while already!  And, da-da-da-da!  The Bump Key is the trick.

It is very surprising to find out that the Bump Key can open up to 95% of locks in the market.  It actually looks very simple, just like any keys with shorter ‘teeth’.  It only takes a few minutes to learn and master the skill.  To pick a lock with the bump key only takes less than a second –> just insert the key, bump it, turn the key, and the lock is opened!  Even a young kid can do that without any help!

Msau from SQKiki’s Simple Tech has recently initiated a project to creat our own ‘ring’.  In this version of ring, those who are invited by msau, all sent her our blog’s URL and blog name.  She and her guru then include all these blogs in a ring.

To reciprocate the effort in including your blog in the ring, you are required to install the codes in your site – very easy.  Bloggers who install the codes will get a randomly generated 20 blogs displayed as their blogroll now.  You can see that random bloroll at my sidebar.  It is restricted to only 20, indeed very reasonable.

If you are interested to join this project, but not invited earlier, you may want to contact msau at her blog.  Tell you what, my technorati ranking improved 40% after joining the club!

Update: msau asks that you visit the project here. After installing the script in your blog, leave a comment at that page or email her, then your blog will be included in the blogroll.

After returning from my ‘short break’, almost everyone is putting effort in improving their blogs: Google PR, Technorati and Alexa.  Thanks to PPP’s segmentation, bloggers are now putting more effort to improve their sites, rather than just write for $$ without much contents!

Anyway, msau from SQKiki Simple Tech, My Home Recipe, SQKiki’s Island and Fatty’s Wife Mumbling has just done some nice thing to me.  She wrote a post that linked to all my 3 blogs.  Kind of the same as what people pay for PPP posties to do, but she is doing this free for me.  So, I am now reciprocating the same.

If you want me to write about your blogs for free, let me know, and we can exchange links this way!  I can spread out to my other blogs.

In fact, I am very amazed with the PR for all the msau’s blogs.  They are PR3 or 4, and she has 4 blogs!  As for me, managing 3 is too much.  In fact, I only have resource to focus on this blog, a bit of my travel blog, and almost redundanting my tipping blog!  Bravo, msau!
