Heading up to KL in a few hours time !!!

It's been the longest time ever since I've headed up .. but SisGis is coming back instead. I miss her so much!

Looking forward to good food .. good fun .. and doughnuts !!
Mind me .. acting like a mountain tortoise (suaku) .. I come from a jungle where there's nothing to share my pride and to be proud off. Really. Ask anyone "What's nice in JB?" .. and they'll give you an awkward dumbfounded silence.

Do come to Zouk for the 50 Gorgeous Event tomorrow. 7 - 11 pm.

Am so excited ......... not the event ... something better! *wink*

Can't wait !!!

It's the weekend .. something for you guys to unwind to and celebrate the weekend.

It just kills me to laugh in silence. It's so hard to break into hysteria when you're in the office.
Work mannerism .. etiquette.
The conference in Bali made me realized that we're all deceivers in our professional outfits. We're nothing but just plain retard bullshiters with a major schizo problem - pivitol point, we are all good analyzers and executioners.
Brainer by day .. retard by night.
So it takes 2 to be on top.
Never judge a book by its cover .. and never underestimate another.
Just drown your boss with alcohol and unleash his alter ego. You might be surprise to find that he's a bigger retard than you are.

Looks are deceiving .. just like the YinYang Boys of Mulford.

C*L*A*S*S*R*O*OOHHH*MMMMMM

* * * * * *

Missed those days where SisEsh, BynoTan and moi would all break into hysterical laughing frenzy at CoffeeBean as if we're the only souls there and could care less about what others think. Looking back now .. it was such an embarrassment.
But it was all fun.

Beans

As an excessive wonderer ... I often dwell into my sanctuary I call La-La-Land ..
or more specifically Why-Why-Land. Dreaming and pondering just about anything, imagining myself in some "what-if" situations .. and I could get all emotional with all my illusive imaginations.

Always like a curious little girl exploring the great big world and its magnificent surprises brought to mankind .. and always questioning their existence and origin.

I guess they didn't really teach us enough in school .. or that picture books weren't that complete. The one question not many .. or none (so far) has been able to give me a definite and confident answer to ...

Where to Red Beans/Green Beans come from .. and what do their plants or trees look like?

We all know beansprouts or tauge come from green beans through amateur science experiments during school, but where do these beans come from? And we've all ate stuff made from red beans .. red bean paste, red bean soup .. used red beans as art projects, fillings for batu seremban (5-stones) etc etc ..

So .. my googling starts to satisfy my curiosity .. wasn't really "satisfied" coz it was so hard to get the answer (or picture .. coz I'm so illiterate that I need pictures to facilitate learning). So this is what I've got ..

The red beans we always consume/use are actually called Azuki Beans. And this is what Azuki bean plants look like ....

From Seed ...

... to the Flower ...

... to the Pod.

So the next time you come across a "bean" pod, don't assume it's the green beans or long beans we normally eat. By all means, appreciate the beans we eat coz people who actually cultivate beans really put their hard work into collecting these beans.

Additional info ..

Green beans are actually called Mung Beans.
(sorry..no mung bean plant .. and beansprouts aren't the real plant .. or adult plant)

Soy Bean plants look like this:

Now we can be a smart ass and be some annoying-over-intelligent-arse and use proper terms. *hehe*
... "May I have a bowl of Azuki Bean dessert" ...
... "Auntie .. one Azuki Bean bun please" ...
*smart ass !*

And by the way .. there's limited amount of pictures .. or none of how each bean plant look like. If you guys come across any website that has a complete picture book on bean plants, please forward the link to me. I'm dead curious!!!

Sun Sand and Tan

Back from Bali ... No, not holiday but work. It has been one of the week which I have been working my butt off ... NO SLACKING ... one of the MOST hardworking week ever.

PR and head organizer of this year's group conference is never easy .. being the "mommy" that everyone runs to for something .. or just about anything. But am glad it was all over and my hardwork has paid off and greatly appreciated.

Thanks ... I knew I was great ... *teeheehee*

The broadband connection is so fugging screwed !!! I don't read the papers .. but is there some major earthquake happened over the weekend .. or during the whole month which I did not know .. that screwed up the whatever fibre optics cable just like the previous quake in Taiwan (was it Taiwan??) I know there's some quake in Indonesia, but I doubt there's any fibre optic there .. let alone any development for any plans for the project in that area for the next decade or so.

It's sooooooooooooooooooooooo annoying !!!

I've broken record for not going online for the longest time ever .. 6 days straight. Felt like I have lost contact with the world or something. The connection in Bali isn't exactly acceptable as well, so I shan't add tension to my soaring stress level. My mailbox is so packed with mails that I think it will take me the entire week to actually go through every single one of them. My friendster account has been flooded with messages and friends request that freaked me out that I closed it instantly. Facebook? I dare not go there ... with it being so laggy and god forsaken speed of my internet, I might tear my notebook into 2.

It took me the entire morning to upload the pics .. everything that I was so enthusiastic to blog about just evaporated .. the caffein isn't working effectively anymore. I need a new drug to stimulate my brain cells.

Reasons to Heart Bali

1. Sunset Dinner @ Jimbaran

A must go, though food isn't that great. But it sure is beautiful.

Team Prawn

Tyrone The Prawn-Man a.k.a. Brother-from-another-mother

Prolly the most disgusting prawn eater I have ever met. We had 10kgs of prawns ... he prolly had 6 kilos of it in his belly. He said that there isn't any prawns in New Zealand coz it's too cold and prawns are frozen there. Sounds ridiculous! Anyone out there who can clarify this ambiguity? I'm just kinda skeptic about it !

Toe touching has never been easier .... well, not like I have any difficulty touching way beyond my toes. *smirk*

2. More food ... good food @ Ubud

Bebek Bengil a.k.a. Dirty Duck Restaurant

The physical entrance may look like any average restaurants/cafes, but don't underestimate this place as it unreveals its beauty from within. Dining in verandas amongst the paddy fields gives feeling of serenity and whole village experience. Only flaw is the mosquitos which won't really bother us after a couple of Bintangs (local beer) *wink*. Though kinda far from Kuta, approx. 1 hour ride .. but it was all worth it. Their famous fried duck is capital D-elicious !!! A good investment idea to franchise it to our region .. KenDucky. KFC comes no where near it. And I gluttoned myself to 2 servings plus a whole lot more side orders. Gado-Gado there is so good that all the gado-gado that we have been eating all these while are just simply rubbish. Drinks are innovative with the quirkiest names ever .. "Dirty Duck with Monkey Bite" .. "Dirty Duck with Dog Bite" .. "Drunken Duck" ..

.. David showed off his feminin side with his "Blue Duck" and manicured nails.

3. Cool hangout places which serves good food, great music, good ambiance .. and good souvenirs. You know you can never go wrong there.
Dome art at Hard Rock Cafe Kuta Bali. Not your average angels and saints ... Rock On !!

4. Krispy Kreme !!!!

They have Krispy Kreme !!! I live in a jungle .. only to be discovered by J.Co in late 2007!
And Bali has both of them .... sheeshh !!
Krispy Kreme should be opened in JB ! KL should stop getting all the attention ... it's over crowded there !
Just look at that .... I couldn't even resist for 1 minute to take a picture of it !

* * * * * *
And who said kids are only entitled to lollies ... It proved to be one very effective tool to boost concentration throughout longwinded meetings!

And to top it all off ..... I reward myself with my newly beloved!

Supernova Tote from Burberrys.

Tip: A great value buy at Changi Airport. So much cheaper than retail, plus you get a 7% GST off the price!

Flaw: You gotta carry the darn thing throughout your entire trip. Hand luggage is always a hassle. If only some genius came out with a good plan to check in notebooks coz ...

1. It's so darn heavy. Not all of us can afford to splurge on the aneroxic model .. let alone work in companies which are ignorant to cost effectiveness to IT asset management.
2. Saves time boarding the plane and smoothes the flow of seating.
3. Smooths flow of getting off planes.
4. Reduces the side effects of having signal interuptions .. some smartass might try to use their wifi in mid air .. reckons connection might be better since we're much nearer to the satelite.
5. Not having to carry the darn bulk around when we wanna shop around .. or having too many trolleys in the store .. or even having to keep a constant lookout for it.

Oh well .. shall stop my bullshit and get back to work!

Blackjack Gorgeous !

Finally the long awaited November issue of Female Magazine is out.
And I made it to the Top 50 finalist for their

2007 Female Mag's 50 Gorgeous People.

Yay !

This years finalists are all va va voom! Nic was pretty happy with the selections .. and of course twice as happy coz both his mates are in it.

Couldn't get the mag shot scanned properly so we'll have to just do with the internet picture. Missing out of course is my infamous quote smacked on my page .. which is so gonna create wanted and unwanted responses ..

"Jamie's sense of humour is infectious. Eager to be a full-fledged tai tai, this freelance model loves any place that has the sun and sand. Her taste in music: As long as it doesn't sound jinjang, be my guest! She unwinds with yoga."

Ok.. now that's kinda embarassing. Hehe. Didn't expected them to print out everything I wrote! Tai-Tai was for my ambition part ... which I guess every single living female out there would like to become one despite having high ambitions to be some entreprenuer. Guess I was just brave enough to admit it. After reading that and gawked and laughed at myself .. I sat and ponder about what would be my ideal ambition .... unrealistically of course! *wink*

To have my very own McDonalds

... with Starbucks beside it

... and some boutiques alongside as well

... and a Italian restaurant that serves the best Italian food

... and tiramisu

... etc etc etc ...

Sums up to be .. I want to own a strategically located shopping mall where I own all the franchise and stores in it. So I don't need to deal with all the bullsh*t my tenants give me!

Which brings to ... being filthy rich ... and being a tai-tai.

That is the : Ultimate bottom line ... no ??

So peeps ....
VOTE FOR ME

This is so shameless .. but what the hell ... hehe

3 ways to do it ..

1. The easiest: Vote online. At this link: Jamie Pang

Whichever way .. thank you so so so so much. So spread the word around ya!

Then after .. you can go oggle at all the other beautiful people who made it as well. Drools ...

Got a couple of comments that this pic kinda sucks .. but at least they all said I looked better in person. Even with chipsmore face. *grunts* But I rather be better looking in person than just picture perfect to disheartened people when they meet the real me.
Or maybe they've just been lying to me all this while not to hurt my feelings. *double grunts*

* * * * * *

Been working my ass off over the weekend to make this corporate video for IOI Group a success. My roll .. a young modern mum with gorgeous looking kids. The 2 full days were just about loving them ... good training to prepare myself for the future. They were just angels.

Don't I look like a mom?? Happy mommy with my darlings ..

The sweetest angelic face ever .. Vivian Chong.

And the bubbly bundle of joy .. Aiysbatrisha. She was the reason everyone was awake.

After meeting these 2 .. I'm having maternal instincts. I so wanna be a mommy soon!!! Bet anyone will too ....

Remember that "Whatever" video of Baby Ally from YouTube?
Yea .. I passed it on to this 2 kids .. and am sure their parents are so gonna hate me now.
But I only gave a brief introduction .. and Eddie was the one who INSTILLED it in them.

"No Way" was created by Aiysbatrisha. Kids these days ........ sigh ....

It was a pleasure working with you guys ... the crew from Cypress Films .. and Coda Advertising! It was tiring .. but blardy fun !!!
Hope you guys weren't annoyed by my constant blabbering. I just can't help it sometimes. I'm a natural born kapster. *tee hee hee*

Buckle Up !

Malaysia has been running this Buckle-Up campaign recently and I there have been a showcase of talent and creativity on the adverts. To commemorate Halloween .. here's Proton's ad.

Most of you of there would just humour yourself with these ads. Take heed .. buckle-up. I got myself into a bad crash before but thank God so much that I escaped just with some bruises and without a scratch. I wasn't buckled and I crashed my head on the windscreen that it cracked. Major concussion. Till today I have no single idea on the details of the crash. Was kinda hard to make a police report when you don't know what to report.

This year I was "chipsmore cookies with extra choc chips".
Nice costume huh ... since puberty strikes back, why not make full use of it -.-!

I'm desperate for a cure. My consultant just gave me a new routine to try out in hopes to relieve my depression caused by the sudden influx of permanent tenancy zits. Now I know how you people feel ... my heart goes out to you people who have suffered before. Perhaps I'm just exaggerating the condition of my skin .. thank god it isn't acne. But am just not used to the extras. Been enjoying the priviledge of clear skin for the longest time ever .. even during puberty. Maybe I didn't finish the whole cycle and am continuing Phase 2 of it. *grunts*

BigOne still hasn't give up persuading me to adopt the "washing-face-a-dozen-times-a-day" regime. Women just can't do that .. given our vanity that we have make up on. And besides .. I don't trust the water in my office .. and neither does using drinking water to wash up a good idea as well. Do you know how many people are dying of thirst ... water is like gold to them! But I understand where he's coming from .. when you've been there before, the OCB just grows in you.

Sigh ... this misfortune falls upon me. Which means .. being extra broke to buying skincare. I can't deny .. the best salespeople around are those selling skincare. No matter how strong your resistance is to saying NO .. you will still end up getting something from them. Or maybe .. it's just a woman thing. As they say "nv ren qian rong yi pian" (easy to cheat woman's money).

Saving up to get the miracle cream everybody has been talking about ....

Creme De La Mer

Any sponsors??? Hint Hint .. Christmas is coming! *wink*

P/S# Get me the whole range if you're getting a big fat year end bonus. It's better than spending it by drowning yourself in expensive alcohol, overpriced door charges, and end up pissing every single penny you've paid for down the toilet bowl. Instead, you can make some one so amazingly happy with her new found glowing skin. (Another hint: Will be needing a whole range to expedite that effect)

*Tee hee hee* ... am such a day dreamer ...
WAKE UP AND START WORKING !
