Pimp My Walker!

Raised By A Frugal Mommy - A. Kimi

Date: 19 Feb 2012

After hard-core scrubbing, no more stains!

Lil Kimi is becoming increasing restless these days. He doesn't like lying around too much so I googled "when-can-baby-ride-walker" - most moms answered 4 months and others even said 3.5 months! So yesterday's Garage Sale mission was to find a cheap preloved walker for Kimi.

Luck was on our side when after nearly giving up hope, the second last house we visited had an unwanted walker for sell at $5. I was 'quite' happy. The walker didn't look too appealing. It was quite dirty and the seat had those blacky-thingy we call 'tahi lalat'... But I know, beggers can't be choosers...

Tahi lalat makes the fabric looks dirty! 
Torn plastic seat... Such an eye-sore!

At home, it was time for MTV, Pimp My Ride!!! I started scrubbing all the dirty marks until the white frame sparkled and machine washed the tahi lalat seat... But of course, tahi lalat is still there.

With my old sewing machine, and some scrap cloth, I wrapped the seat at the baby's head area. The rest of the seat was too complicated for me (not to mention too lazy to figure it out).

Cover-up the dirty looking head-rest... 
... and the torn bottom.

Now that the walker looks decent and hyginic enough, Kimi was allowed to test drive... Vroooommmm!!!

Book: Sushi for Beginners

Date: 24 December 2010 Author: Marian Keyes She is definitely one of my favourite authors ever. The first book from her that I read was Under the Duvet, and the second was The Other Side of The Story - both I borrowed from UTM's library. She writes about characters with real life issues and manage to make the situation light although it's actually a dark topic. At the end of the day, readers will learn about complicated issues without feeling depressed. She delivers the message and adds humor to it - just brilliant! Plus, I learned a few Irish words! Sushi for Beginners is about the lives of 3 different ladies, all facing depressions. Different characters have a different coping mechanism. Synopsis: Lisa, a beautiful, career oriented lady is the b*tch boss from hell. She'll do whatever it takes to be the best at what she does, even if it means having no friends and family. The thing that drives her over the wall was when she actually sacrificed her marriage to

Book: Eat Pray Love

Author: Elizabeth Gilbert At last... after months of trying to finish this book, I finally did it! No offense to the author, she is a very talented writer. I am just not into depressing stories... because my reading can actually influence my emotions. I like the travelling part... but the search for spiritual relief from all the negative emotions was really too heavy for me. I started reading this book early this year... and had a break when I reached the part when she went to the Ashram in India. Half way through the book, I watched the movie with Julie Zac... which also bored me a bit. I brought this book to Gold Coast, thinking that I can read it on the plane - apparently I made it through only a few pages. However, when I finally got to the Bali part... it was fast reading all the way. The author was no longer depressed, and her stories were all about happiness! Yeaahh!! My Synopsis: This is a true story about the author's journey to find peace within herself after g

New Delhi & Agra, India

A Country Rich in Both History and Population! Date: 7-11 December 2010 There are sooo many things to share on my first trip to India. So here goes: Day 1: Landed in New Delhi at 7.30 PM local time. Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi Upon arrival, I was impressed with the modern airport, constructed in conjunction with the 2010 Commenwealth Games. The temperature outside was cool, 22 deg C but... the air was smoggy. So no deep breaths for me... Then, literally, I couldn't breath at all once I experienced the car ride, Indian style! It was a scene from a car chase in a Bollywood movie, without an actual car chase! The hotel driver was driving as if the car was a motorbike! In the traffic jam, he squeezed between the smallest of space, triumphly without a scratch. The 3-lane road became 4-laned. Most cars removed their side mirrors intentionally, or may in some cases be removed for them by other vehicles. So how do they drive safely without side mirrors
