It's a Mad.Mad.World.

As expected, I've grown to like Shanghai abit more after all that misunderstood bitching I did last week. It didn't turn out to be so bad at all .. well, as mentioned, I'm easily "bribed" ... compensated from all the shopping I did. Where's my pride yo! But I do not take back everything I've said .. coz it's the fact. I just saw and experienced what many many people i.e. TOURIST (to be specific). It just ain't the same when you're there on business and on holiday .. coz you don't go to the shitty places I've been. But it was quite an experience though!

The company hasn't been mean enough to let me suffer my ass out without letting me enjoy abit .. I switched identities and became a TOURIST over the weekend, being suaku and all about everything in the city and tourists spots ... despite being there for the 3rd time.

The Shanghainese are a genious in ...... Xiao Long Bao. Overrated .. overcommercialized ... but nonetheless .. YUMMY! Don't ask me .. but I still can't tell the difference between Jiao-Zi, Wantan, Fried Jiao-Zi, Wuo-Tiet or watsoever thing that looks like a dumpling. To me .. they are all Jiao-Zi .. and all Jiao-Zi in Shanghai is nice whether steamed or fried or boiled or baked or any way for that matter.

A must meal after all that wholesale shopping in Qi Pu Road. Thanks to my sweet Shanghai colleague Wendy for being able to get everything I need at a dirt cheap price through connections. Not exactly D.I.R.T. cheap coz everything in Shanghai is expensive and they chop you like crazy. If you're a caucasian .. good luck to you, they will chop you using a bigger axe .. chainsaw perhaps!

Define "Expensive" in Shanghai.

Do NOT get anything of any brand that is familiar or not local. Chances are that it costs double or perhaps 50% more back home. According to sources, they discourages imported stuff. So if you know any Shanghainese whom buys designer lables in Shanghai .. they're farking rich then.

Another example: Pizza Hut. Only the rich dine there. It costs like RMB100 for a regular size pizza. Yes, that's about 5 times the price here. And their patroners are, I guess, affluential people in Shanghai. I checked out 2 socialite-Paris Hilton-lookalike decked out in their designer bags and expansively-stylish clothings ... dining in Pizza Hut.

Blardy hell .. and we can dine in Pizza Hut everyday in our lousiest PJs till we're so sick of it its not funny!

But Chin and I shopped at Zara in Shanghai & Hong Kong. Who does that man !!! Us Idiots !!!

It's A Weird Country ... Part II

Due to controlled population measures, this is common in the country (i guess so?!)

But doesn't it sound weird in English? Macam a Sex Shop, only in a non-so-kinky way.

FYI .. that's chicken feet. Not someone's hand or embryo or anything misconceptive and inhumane like what you see in the internet.

They even have it in "drumstick". But hell ... you only get this in China ... and it's so weird!

* * * * * *

It feels darn good to set foot back to Hong Kong.

I would so love to be here forever ... with conditions of course.

NOT live in a pigeon hole condominium, NOT working here.

Just get some rich good looking guy to provide me with all my leisure needs .. afterall, it's a country to Shop, Eat, Party, and Relax. Haha! Dream On baby !!!!

Destination : Lan Kwai Fong

Thanks to Esther, who treated us to one of HK's most expensive char-chan-teng. Things costs like 3 times more than other places, and apparently many HK stars dine here after their drinking sessions in Lan Kwai Fong.

Another cut-throat restaurant. Roasted chicken, duck and pork never cost so expensive before. And I always thought the S$25 hainanese chicken rice in a hotel down Orchard Road in Singapore was the most ridiculous thing ever.

On weekends, they close up the streets, so you can go bar hopping and drinking on the streets and not be afraid to get knocked down by any vehicle. You could jolly well sleep there till the next morning if you're so pissed drunk.

Not found in Malaysia. BigOne will go .. HOEEEEEEEEEEEgarden. Stressing it as a female genetalia of course.

OK .. I'm jez posing just now. I'm such a bad drinker it's so insanely unbelievable. People just don't get it.

I had something un"contaminated" .. and everything on this menu is so Virginly-Uncontaminated with alcohol. My pick, SAFE Sex On The Beach. It doesn't come with any condoms or contraceptive items though *wink*

It's normal to see Stars in LKF. Esther has met a couple of them already - Lucky Bitch! I was quite lucky myself too .. was very close proximity to this guy who was filming his set. I have no idea who is he, shame on me, but accordingly, he's Wu Yao Han's son. Anyone know him?

He's very charming .. my kind of look .. very man! BigOne is pleased that I find men of sort attractive .... so that I will think he's cute.

Shameless! Shamelessly annoyingly cute! - But in a good way.

Down the alley to a bar known only to a certain "niche" of people ... in hopes to check out cute guys. Justin & Bryan are brothers, korean and stylishly-attractive. Whom apparently, Justin, is a stylist himself for alot of Korean Stars i.e. Rain, Kim Hee Seon, SeVen, Boa, Yoon Eun Hye (Goong), etc etc etc ... as he shared pictures in his mobile over our nicotine treat.

BTW, smoking is getting illegal in HK .. becoming more and more like Singapore, but still able to intoxified yourself with fumes down the street. Alot of preventive and discouraging measures have been taken, but this is by far, more ironic that the disgusting photos you see on the fag-box.

Back to Reality .. but still Hell.

Work back in the office piles up like Everest, and I'm still down here blogging. It's a Friday and it's 7:00pm. Give me some room to snake since I've been a good girl slogging my arse off in frustration a foreign world for the past 2 weeks.

Dreading to set foot in the office throughout the journey on the plane .. Should I or Should I Not take the day off tomorrow???

But BigOne made the whole ordeal back home so pleasing for me that my heart skipped about like a bunny and fluttered like a butterfly when the wheels of my plane screeched on Changi grounds. Landing was terrible .. but I didn't even notice it.

Geminian Bee-arch

* The Gemini Woman *

A good looking woman with brains, a very interesting person. She has a fast movement and she could not sit still or stand still long. She is able to do many things at the same time and do it fast. If you date her, you will feel like dating many women at the same time. You can not tie her down with the word "Love" because she cares about love but is it not a major factor of her life. You have to be able to adjust yourself to get along with her many different characters.

She is a dreamer and has many dreams. She eager to learn something new all the time. Even she is the 2 in 1 mixed character type, she is quite lucky in love. You have to put all your efforts to win her affection. Even when she likes you and wonder about your wit, she will also see and inspect your bad side at the same time, because it is in her nature.

She able to keep all kinds of mixed emotions without annoying you or letting you know at all. She can cheer you up by acting like a free little bird. Her conversation will not bored you. She able to talk to you in any subjects. She can make you feel like you are the luckiest man alive. She can make you feel like she needs all your care, but once she needs to stand alone, she can stand alone firmly an comfortably.

She can be your best buddy and talk to you about anything. She can join all your activities with the same energy that you have. She is a quick wit person and learn new things very fast. She can see your projects and she can give you good advice. If she thinks you are not sure that you want her for yourself, she will act like your best friend only, a cool woman.

She can easily make a guy fall in love with her. Her multiple changes and many moods is a "Charm" for many men. She can be laughing for 2 minutes and later suddenly quiet. She wants to find only 1 true love and she wants to meet her dream guy. She expects a lot and nearly too much. She is constantly waiting for her knight shinning armor even she is with a steady boy friend. She can fall in love or fond of someone else while she is with you. If you break up with her, she will forget you quite fast, because change is in her nature. The Gemini woman breaks more heart than woman in other Zodiac. Because she is a dreamer and always waiting for her knight shinning armor, so her love life can be complex or a mess. *Clarifying Facts: I do not fool around, and am not a player .. jez assure me and make me feel that he's The One and I will not wonder around* Aren't everyone like that ??? You so are, so stop denying the fact !

She could communication with more than 1 languages , a real gifted linguistic. If she wants to tell you any bad comments, she won't say it straight away, but she will talk to you about many other things and accidentally come to that subject without offending you. Normally she will not lie.

She will work hard and once a while take a long rest. She can get bored and tired with her own surrounding more than at work. She never feel content with her present work, money, or reputations, she will drive to have more. Don't ask her what is her ultimate contentment for she will not have an answer. *Clarifying Facts: I will take a long rest and work hard once in a while ... haha .. just kidding. I do work hard yo! Take me seriously will ya. As CheeKun will define me "Wa si siao tapi wa mm si gong" (I may be crazy but I'm not ignorant).

Once you get to know her, she will be a supportive person and always be beside you. She has a beautiful dream and she loves to have someone walk side by side with her, together and equally. *Am so looking forward to my beautiful ending of my fairytale life .. with my knight in shining armour*

* * * * * *

I got this from a mail .. and it really reflects me really well. Not a good idea to post this up huh, so people can manipulate me now since they know my true character. Too Late !!

Btw, whoever you are that wrote this .. you're a genius and I love you the very beginning you wrote this. *blush blush* with total shamlessness !!! or .. as BigOne will go "double V with the fingers a.k.a. WHATEVER !"

alienated.illiterate.culture-shock

And that's how exactly I am in this foreign country .. which happens to be where my roots came from. Perfect example of a banana and utterly shameless in proclaiming oneself of a race that I'm unfamiliar with. Or perhaps we could change the terminology from banana to jez OCBC (orang cina bukan cina).

I'm stuck here for the whole freaking week till for work until I'm transported again to a much westernized chinese country where English is much more accessible there i.e. Hong Kong. The first day at work has been hell for me .. coz all documents are in a language I will never master. Not a single character I can recognize besides the numeric characters of course. Even the basic 123 in chinese has to be made so complex that whatever is learnt in POL classes is not even useful.

And not to mention .. culture shock. It's amazing how people of the same race can vary so much when they're yet so close to each other and brought up with the same values. Am not degrading the people here, but I guess I'm jez not too used to their lifestyles thats all .. and I don't think I'll ever be ... when cleanliness, hygiene, stench and manners is a major problem for me. Or perhaps it's jez unfortunate for me to encounter all these in the first and second day ... and more to come. What a way to start your Monday morning by getting a close heart-attack from our taxi driver to the office. We literally freaked out when he dozed off .. yess.. he so did DOZED off a couple of times with SNORES, and made freaky actions to keep himself awake i.e. scratch his head so hard that I felt he could jolly well tear his scalp apart , shaked his head from left to right so hard as if he had an overdoze of E , and etc which are quite minor but still freaky.

I have yet to stop complaining about my series of unfortunate events ... so far ...
(1) The hotel that we first checked in has a weird stench .. bathroom even worse, where I guess someone left their "territorial markings" somewhere in the corner of the shower
(2) Weird taxi drivers .. the one on Monday morning, and the rest made me too nauseous to even enjoy getting to our destination
(3) Water here tastes funny .. it's a problem when I have to insert that liquid into my mouth whenever I shower or brush my teeth

I will stop bitching so much when I am compensated from the joy that Shanghai can offer me when I start shopping. That would very well be my conclusion of the trip .. I love Shanghai ! If only Chin would stop working now can go ahead with our plans to leave early to shop !!!

Reasons why I love Shanghai ... so far ..
(1) It's cheap .. it's always nice when you can "divide" instead of "multiply" whenever you do currency conversion
(2) There is Starbucks everywhere ... even fake Starbucks "Costa Coffee" which I am yet to try
(3) There is Haagen Daz everywher ... but it's expensive .. but GOOD !
(4) You get to fly here on Cathay Pacific and they serve Haagen Daz on every flight

Pu Xin Jie .. near the Bund .. pretty pretty lights and loads of people. Recommended only during Winter when it's not so warm !

Chen Huang Miao .. a must-go place .. for the Xiao Long Bao. Nyum nyummmm ... Very Very pretty as well .. it's amazing that people actually live in such buildings last time. So ancient but buildings are tastefully architectured .. compared to our wooden kampung houses! We had dinenr at Lao Di Fang ... nyum nyumm as well .. and I guess that building used to be some brothel or something. I think I watch too much TV !

At Pudong .. overlooking The Bund, or Shanghai Tan. Pretty Pretty !

My 3rd serving in 3 days .. but this is the far best, Belgian Choc! As you can see .. I've grown alot chubbier ... if only the chubbiness would go "elsewhere"

More food. I have been eating so much that I am food-phobic. I would tell Chin at the end of each day that I will NOT eat the next day .. but I can never be able to do what I have claimed. This is how much 2 people consumed .. conclusion, never dine with CheeKun if you're not game for a "sumptuos" meal.

It's a weird country ...

Their version of a "box file" for documents. WOW ! *in sarcasm of course! *evil*

A road with 7 lanes going in the same direction is complicated enough. Always stay on the 5th and 6th lane when you're drunk in China, you'll never know when you're reflexes are too slow to make the turn.

* * * * * *

Happy Birthday Jasmine !

A little late .. but better late than never .. love ya hun !!

A shopper , A MNG-addict , A friend from Hell ... all Bi-a-tch's .. whom love each other and be loved a whole lot !

BU-YAO-NIEN !!!!! *hey ... the mandarin is kicking in !! hahaha*

Color For Life

An experience never to be missed. As promised, I've uploaded loads of pics .. there's a whole lot more, but it's not like it's facebook or anything rite. It's been a while since I've actually travelled on a bus further than JB-KL ... the last time was from JB to Penang, and I swore that from that time onwards, I'll never take a bus up to Penang again. Nobody understands the torture that I went through ... or perhaps that I'm jez terribly spoilt ! Haha~ But the ride up to Genting wasn't that bad at all .. although it took like more than 6 hours to get there. Could do in 5 if only that it was able to climb the hill faster. Seriously .. it was so slow that if you needed to pee so badly, you could very well hop off and release yourself, and jog back to the bus and still make it. Then I went on to make a statement to Eloise and Caster who immediatelly rolled their eyes on me when I went "If I owned a bus/transport company ..." ... I would have this special fleet of buses, all modified with bigger engines for trips up hills i.e. Genting, Bukit Tinggi, etc etc.

The whole event was tiring .. but nevertheless fun ! Imagine, there're like about 100 models i.e. babes up there .. and partying with them, and seeing high profile models in the likes of Raja Azura (she's jez amazing ... loads of attitude and style .. and killer legs and body to die for).

The Event : Loreal Colour For Life - Malaysian Hairdressers for Children with AIDS.
Theme: H2O's chosen theme was Wind. Yea .. so much wind that they blew away part of our hair ! ooppsss ......
Result: Excellent ! We were the first one up, and according to many, we rocked the show !

It doesn't get any cooler than this when you have such cool backstage passes! I've always never regarded myself to be a pro-model ... too humble?? or jez plain sua-ku?! *sweats*

H2O's chosen 3 goth mannequins. Most of you guys will go "Macam Hantu" but look from the artistic perspective .. the overall image it's really unique and amazing! Dresses were amazingly gorgeous and flattering, thanx to the talented D'Cel by Daniel Chong & team.

The stylist whom is responsible for my image .. Bon. I cannot help but keep looking at him coz he resembles Dydo soooooo much, his actions and all .. soooo Dydo!

After Event Madness

Food, Alcohol, Loud Loud Loud, Gambling, Noise Noise Noise, and loads of Cam Whoring.

Safari always sucked, but macam we have a choice up there in the bewildered hills. And how could we leave Genting without having a hand at the table? About 15 of us entered the casino all high and loud, and I swore that we would be so blacklisted from the casino if they were to take actions against us. We entered making a whole racket on what to bet on, and we finally decided that we all pool some cash together, being terribly cheap of RM10 per person, to bet on Big-Small. And we turned heads .. really .. there were like 8 tables of blackjack, baccarrat, roulet, etc .. and everyone literally stopped to look at us when we all strolled passed the tables in search of our prospective table. And the joke was, I overheard this moron who went (in cantonese) "Meng seng ler .. chim meng aa" (celebrities ler .. go get autograph) *3 lines* Well, I can't blame that guy .. coz in the group, there were models, stylists and designers .. all whom are naturally stylo lorrr .. perasan case! We made a hell of noise at the table .. seriously .. it was bad. But we each made RM20 .. so it wasn't so bad eh .. haha. Kelvin still owe us CoffeeBean from the remaining winnings! Thank god it was 4am, otherwise the manager would have thrown us out .. for .. (1) making so much noise .. think wat, cheapo gambling den??!! (2) being cheap and bet so little .. although it was like RM200 per bet but average out of RM10 per person! (3) distracts other gamblers, dealers, passerby, faux gamblers, etc etc (4) taking advantage of their free beverages (5) giving our dealer a hard time .... but hey, they had fun too .. so did the other chikopek uncles who came by our table jez to check us out !

I texted Geline and Jasmine to come over join us, coz we agreed to create havoc here .. but they chose to S.L.E.E.P. So babes ... this is what you have missed out on !

Created by Billy, my stylist and Team Manager of H2O Jusco. FYI, nothing smelled there.

Elle Salon's Trademark Robotic Pose. I would like to clear any misunderstanding that we're not making fun of you guys .. we think that you guys are brilliant in coming up with such idea that left such a great impact on us that we cannot forget. And if it was so uncool, we wouldn't continue to be retarded with your poses. *no sarcarsm is involved in the making of this statement* Sekian, terima kasih.

And thanks to the genius (whoever he/she is) for inventing the timer function so that no one is missed out from such fun of insane group pics!

If only Kelvin could be a little less perverted. But that's they way he is .. uniquely cute!

And last but not least .. a tribute to our Lao-Ban .. Andy Chan of H2O, though not forgetting Lao-Ban-Niang Penny, who is amazingly cute and big hearted.

How can we ever miss this pic ???!!!!

But I missed the Ah-Yee Bao-Yee (Ah Yat Abalone) ! At a promotion rate of RM99++ (per person) from RM198++ for an 8 course meal. Geline, you should come joined us the night before, gamble, win your RM500, and treat me to the abalone meal as promised. Grrrr~~~

Ready for the high

The simplest thing that brings me smiles .. nothing material .. just plain effort to make me smile. *big big grin* Thank you.

* * * * * *
Sorry peeps for not updating any sooner ... or updating with more graphical content. I know you guys .. i mean MALE per se .. crave these stuff here, especially when I get back from some event and post pics of me with other chicas. Am I not the chica too ? Haha~ Well, am glad to know that Howe actually start reading me blog literal content .. well, at least for that one time off I guess! Haha~ Patience my dearsssss .. patience is a virtue. And I guarantee the next entry will be one filled with Babes Galore !

And tomorrow the cam-whoring starts! Up up up we go ... to Genting for the Loreal Hair/Charity Show. Each year Loreal will organize some Hair Show at Genting at a huge scale (this is as far as I know .. yet to get my facts right) and I will be ambassading H2O Hair Studio. Geline already knows what her style is gonna be .. and already did her fitting and rehearsals .. kiasu dao~~~ (FYI, she's not for H2O) And I guess, my battalion is gonna do the impromtu thingy. Sure gonna be hell of fun .. already feeling the high since yesterday, hopefully it will be .. and I'll blog about the stratosphoric experience (i'm exaggerating) when I'm back. Well, at least we'll be partying and having fun all da way with loads of models and babes and more babes .. and even more babes nationwide (i'm exaggerating again).

Miguel Migs

Was introduced to this fine DJ who spins off house and chill-out music over the weekend, and by Monday, am already excavating my way through the net searching for this yet to be listed in my fav list DJ for his refined works. And I love it. Sorry if I have dishonored such a fine artiste by downloading his works from the big web, but I have to live with something before I actually hit a proper store that actually carries his album. And if you guys have not forgetten, I live in this god-forsaken place which screams monotonous living.

And if you like the featured music on my page, yes, that's on of Mig's works. Simply brilliant. Light .. smooth .. chill ... just brilliant !

Am yet to explore the tunes from his ride, so far it has been impressive and I find men with good taste in music ... very sexy !

* * * * * *

Blogger has gone nuts and I can't upload pics. The frustration is eating its way through my inspired mind to blog. And therefore, I shall continue later when I'm feeling much better.

* * * * * *
Fantastic .. Fantastic Not

Finally caught the Fantastics .. but turned out it wasn't that fantastic at all. Main reason that drew us to the movie was of course .. Miss Alba herself. Who can resist??!!! I started loving her in Honey .. and the Deep Blue Sea (which came first?) She jez oozes babelicious factor in every single way. And man .. those ass rocks! Haha! Starting to sound really homo here .. but ain't that why God made us women that way? To look good and to be admired? Men do adorn beautiful bodies as well .. but we don't see many of their own species drooling over their own kind rite. I think God is jez a genius .. or his R&D department for that matter .. in creating the female silhouette.

Back to the movie. Damn she's grabbing all the attention! She looked kinda funny with the blonde updo and all .. but still hot. Story line was kinda .. well .. I feel .. childish. It's a comic, rite? For kids? Am no movie critique, and it didn't annoy me that much, and it was OK .. so I'll jez pass with the bitching. Surfer dude there was kinda hot .. despite no bulge in the mid area him being a male. I actually noticed the tiny details there .. what a perv! Victor da Boom (or whatever his name was .. so totally forgettable) was lame and a loser .. his role in the movie was sooo .. ______ (jez fill in the blanks with whatever you think is appropriate coz I'm lost at it) that ommitting him from the movie could save some costs to the production.

Overall .. I give it a .. 5/10. OK ... 6.5 for the humor and cute dudes there. *wink*

Rise n Shine Porcupine

It's been a while since I've got up sooooo early on a working day .. and today I clocked 6.30am ! Amazing ! Macam I have a choice since I had to catch a flight to KL for a meeting. Usually I don't get up till like 8.30am .. brain awake at 8.00am from the alarm and snoozed it all the way for another good half hour. All geared up and ready to make my day a productive one .. I arrived at the office some 4 hours later to find that the managers are not in till like noon. *3 lines ... and loads of gray area around my forehead* So much for being enthusiastic about the day.

My dad commented on my fugly looking luggage .. "Eee..why use so paria bag, got nicer ones ler" Macam I know .. and it's my fault for packing in the middle of the night when everyone's asleep to let me know that there are much better looking bags available in the house. And he went on further .. "Spoil image only .. pretty gal walking around with an ugly bag" I have loads of pretty looking overnight bags k .. but they just don't have the double zipper where I can lock it for check-in. And to hell with all those serial bombers/terrorists/arseholes/etc whom disrupts the well-being and conveniences to our daily lives that we aren't able to fly at the comfort of our own space anymore. Shheeeshhhh !! It's so mah-fan for use girls when we have so much skincare and toilettries to carry around .. and it's ridiculous to actually ask us to transfer it to a transparent bottle of 100ml max each. Think duty free have to start selling their travel set in transparent packaging now! Joke is .. I checked-in my luggage .. which only weiged 3kg.

Retail-theraphy. I am resisting myself from spending too much, at least locally .. coz am gonna so slurge on my business trip to Shanghai and Hong Kong next month. MNG is on sale today .. went to the outlet yesterday and spent 1/2 hour or so there trying on clothes and more clothes and more clothes... only to find that I can't purchase till the next day! Tempted to buy so many dresses but my mind kept resisting me from it .. and the subliminal sound of "Shanghai Shanghai Shanghai" kept buzzing in my ears. Jasmine sent me an early text saying "The MNG Sales in on Now!" .. great, tell me about it and i'm in KL. By the time I get back tomorrow all sizes will be gone.

Come envy me! I have to reward myself in some way .. after slogging for the whole entire week to boring, tedious and rigid internal auditing work. Wow...am so "looking forward". Am so loving my job .. shop as you work. But it's gonna be a long trip and I'm gonna be so home sick missing everyone like mad back here ... and it blows to know that roaming's gonna kill me and that I have limited access to the phone! I have daily routines you know! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Finally found someone who can fix my PSP .. yea, for a rip-off price of RM160+! According to the shop .. the technician is the only one in JB who knows how to fix or is the only one who is "willing" to modify my V3.11. What nonsense! Am just too lazy to go hunting for a cheaper bargain at Holiday Plaza .. so should I jez let him rip me off? Dammit !!! Guys, do let me know where I can get it modified cheaper in JB .. need to get it done by this weekend. Greatly appreciate your assistance.

Decided

The light has shine .. and showed me the way ..

leading me out from my misery from this long weekend tourment to make a decision which is so hard to decide.

And hence .. I've decided to stay.

What is it all in a JOB ? I have been brought into this world with the "unfortunate" choice of not being to run a family business, hence having dillemmas needed to overcome by choosing a job from a mass of jobs out there. Sometimes, it's not a matter of choice as well. While those have sound businesses to resume their responsibilities into, they on the other hand are dying to buy themselves out to venture into the unknown world.

There's so much to be considered in switching jobs. I have been in HR for the longest time possible and it has made me realized and groomed my mindset into one which thinks that monetary form isn't always the main priority. No doubt that the new job offer is making me drool like crazy over the pay package of what I'm getting now. But one has to look far more ahead than in the short term process. People might think I'm naive or stupid of not taking the advantage of the opportunity that I have right now to ask my Boss for a further increment. Perhaps I was brought up in such a way and my character is formed in such a way that Money Is The Root To All Evil. Really ......

Money = Temptation = Evil.

After having a loooooonnnnggg discussion with my Boss last Friday night, I came up with a conclusion to stay. He lifted up the weight in my head and heart so easily, and let me breathe again. Wise words and advice from a wise man. You can say that he was the main reason I stayed .. and also the company. Well of course there are other reasons as well ... i.e. my family, friends, son, yadda yadda yadda ... freedom in my work, freedom of choice of what I wanna pursue, prospects, masses of knowledge waiting to be absorbed, and abundance of opportunities waiting to be experienced. And best of all, he sent me a long email the following day .. hoping that I will stay. Come on .. nothing beats that. Which Boss will take the time off to actually think of you and believe in your abilities and potential to actually write you a long mail in a SATURDAY morning?! And the email .. really damn gam tong lor ... And besides, I have a job which every person will kill for .. you can get nothing like this anywhere.

I would like to extend my thanks and heartfelt gratitude to everyone out there for believing in me. Believing that I can do it .. and giving me opportunities to do it. Especially to my Boss (MN) for grooming me to be who I am and who I will be.

* * * * * *

Happy Daddy's Day !

To my dad .. whom has always been there for me .. loving me unconditionally .. and making everyone in the family jealous (especially my mom) for loving me more over everyone else.

Biasa laa ... Daddy's Girl !!!

Schnappi is not a DOG. Period.

Another strike off "THE-I-LIST"

I've got my new phone. So you people out there can stop laughing at the junk I've been using for the past 2 years. Despite all the temptations from the super slim phones in the likes of my deary-beloved-Samsung U600 *chokes in disappointment* ... or the Red-Scarlet-N76 *sigh* .. I turned to the phone which is bigger in size than the existing one.

But hell .. it's cool .. functions are great .. eliminates whatever phone culture-shock I will be getting by changing manufacturers .. and hell, does the blue-black interface roxxxx !!!

Honestly .. I'm happy with it and not consoling myself over it! Well .. if they put the Samsung U600 in front of me now .. well, YES .. I'm consoling myself !!!!

I want an aneroxic phone .. don't I have fate with it?!! *Grrrrr*

Just when Geline found out about my new moby, she said she'll be getting the K850. I did checked it out on the website, but it doesn't say much .. so I went ahead with the K810. Until she told me ... it's a 5mp camera ! Cybershot somemore !

But have to wait till Q4 of 2007. And I consoled myself for the second time round .. use first lo, change again later .... *major sweat and 3 lines*

With the Cybershot-3.2MP camera .. I'm gonna cam-whore so much, that my phone won't be able to take it ! Hahaha !!!

Thanks WaiMing a.k.a. Zover for helping me get this phone at a bargain. (Happy Now??? *muahahahahha*)

Decisions

From time to time, I would be hit with a terrible dillemma which requires me to make a decision within the shortest period of time. And this morning I received a phone call with the great big news. What a way to start the day. Whether it is good or bad .. I'm still yet to make a decision.

It's cramming every single living grey cell in my brain .. To Go or Not To Go. Someone made me an incredible job offer I can't say No to. And even if I did .. it would be something that has a great impact on me. Wonder what ...

Tell me about it .. Amazing pay hike .. Established corporation .. Nice huge ass office .. a Boss whom I can kamching all the way with .. load of potential Learning and Knowledge .. and adds a strong point to my Resume.

I feel very honoured that people believe in my abilities and are able to see the potential in me. Sometimes I don't even see that in me .. too modest? or simply just undermining my own abilities? This isn't the first time .. and certainly won't be the last. I've been receiving very attractive and also very ambiguous job offers .. sometimes too big of a task to handle .. and thanks for believing that I am able to handle it. Being constantly head-hunted is very flattering to one's ego.

But each time .. I reach a turning point .. do I just go straight on the highway, or explore the unknown? Should I just let it pass me by yet again .. and hoping for another turning point to come by when I'm much more ready? To leave my comfort zone? To leave my family and friends? My son? Would I regret it?

It's time to wake up .. Head feels heavy .. Heart feels heavy. If only someone or something would just make the decision for me, wouldn't life be so much simpler?

Monday-not-so-Blue

It's been quite some time since I have a quiet weekend. I guess it's some kind of cycle of life where it's like a roller coaster ride .. up's and down's. I could still remember several weeks/months back when it's all hyped and full of activities .. roaming and prancing here and there which ended up with alot of misconception on what person I really am. It's amusing when there was someone who came up to me and commented that I was a Party-Girl - Helloooo!!! And I retaliated "You sooo freakingly don't know me well". Oh come on .. Party-Girl ?? My perception of it is very degrading, like some hussy trying hard to be-seen and be-known by everyone by patronizing clubs and events almost every other day of the week. And sorry, I rather be labled GEEK instead of a PG .. Socialite doesn't sound that bad either, but that's one hell of a role .. too much pressure to handle .. and doesn't justify the current society level that I am in right now. Being a LP is much easier, non-conforming to the peer pressure, norms and expectations of the society.

I need a breather ... and I successfully had it for the past 2 weeks. Been a Goody-Two-Shoes by isolating myself to being confined to my sweet 'ol room. Seriously .. Sundays have never passed so slowly for the longest time ever! But I made full use of the time to get alot of things done .. well .. not that many considering that I had the laptop on and internet connected, which glued my darn arse to the the chair and strained my eyes to the screen. It's an addiction I can't seem to get rid off. My mom doesn't understand how I do it .. guess on my bro knows. But then again he's gaming .. so it's a whole different agenda. Managed to clear my room, made my bed more beautiful and cosy, worked-out, pampering myself etc etc. Feeling good !

Got a text from an old acquaintance over the weekend on whether I'd was up in KL for the event. And all I could do was sigh'ed and replied that I had stuff to do. I've already tai-chi'ed down my urge to be there for the past couple of weeks coz no one seems to be eager about it except moi, and someone had to bring it up again. Grrrrrr~~ Don't care .. next event must go! So tempted to make my way up that Saturday noon but thank god the lazy-bug incinerated every living cel in my body to even wanna do anything. So now I can only read about it while rolling my eyes and twitching my mouth, while every other people blog about how amazing it was and procrastinated about the humidity and scarce supply of fluids.

How many days in a week do we need to work is adequately enough to justify that we have enough rest?

The same topic is brought up during out threesome breakfast meeting every Monday morning.

D: Tired laa .. not enough rest over the weekend.
J: Yea .. I rested too much .. but still not enough. Think we need to work 4 days and rest 3 days
C: Propose to boss laa ..
D: Yea .. work 3 days and rest 4 days
J: Crazy aa ... there's only 7 days in a week .. we can't do less than 50% !

Tell me about it. Don't work and be a Tai-Tai .. have too much time in your hands that you complain being boring. Work .. complain no time for almost anything. And every other morning, I will give myself a motivation booster and tell myself I need to make full use of my time and be productive. Doesn't seem to work for the 1st half of the day .. warming up time is taking too slow. Perhaps I will be after lunch .. it'll be another 10 minutes before Gis gives me a call to start heading to our lunch venue. Perks me up now, considering the fact that I'll be getting bday prezzie from her .. yay ! Speak of the devil~ -TBC-

I am now some kind of ambassador for Crabtree & Evelyn 'coz I've receive yet another prezzie of such. Haha~ I'll be smelling of Rosewater from now onwards as I have approx 1/2 year to a year's supply of sweet rose smelling lotions *big big grin* If only they have their perfume it'll jez accentuate what I smell like a mile away. But of course .. it'll be another 2 years before my EnvyMeII finishes! Haha~

Every reason to smile

I'm beginning to be more of an ang-moh these days .. hanging out at home in my jeans like how you guys see them do on TV. Or perhaps I'm just getting lazier and dirtier day-by-day that I simply refuse to go shower or change when I get back from roaming around town, until the very last moment of the day before I hit the sack.

I need to change this habit. And a whole list of other habits ... *sweats*

* * * * * *

And there was new life ...

Most women are skeptical when it comes to childbirth .. not only you have to endure the suffering of child labor, but also the post birth body distortments. Fear No More .. we have living proof that this will all be a myth and the exact opposite !!!

Michelle a.k.a. Mrs. Dr. Chan (it's so cool when you have 2 addressee's in ur name) is finally a mummy .. to the cutest, loveliest baby ever .. Baby Andrew. And she's glowing man .. full of radiance. She was complaining to me over the phone a few days back that she's soo out of shape and clueless to what to wear to her baby shower this noon. Oh pleaseee~~~~ the first thing she asked me when I arrived was "Am I fat" .. Hellooo~~~ FAT does not even exist in her dictionary .. even during pregnancy! She was her normal size .. only with an inflated belly. And now, she looks even better than before ... post pregnancy glow & radiance! And Baby Andrew will grow up and tell his friends proudly next time .. "My mom is a babe .. she's Hot .. and she still is!" Congrats to Michelle and Dr Chan !

Good features rite!!! Nice face shape .. nice nose .. sexy lips .. sure lady-killer next time. Registration of future marriage arrangements are open. I've already signed up! Haha~

Miss Cultural Malaysia 2007

Was invited to be judge and to crown the winner of this pageant. It's the first year .. and the event was a success. Candidates were all good .. very lovely of course. All babes .. voluptuous babes ... and I watched and oggled and drool in envy as I was interviewing them during pre-judging. Haha .. perverted ol' me !

Great Job girls .... all very stunning ... all very pretty ! And I'm proud to have more additions to my babes-friends. I'm sure more guys wanna be my friend now eh ...

The Top 6 Winners: (L-R) Jessie (5th) .. Veronica (3rd) .. Caster (1st) .. Fion (2nd) .. Selena (4th) .. and Agnes (6th).

The Penang troop was babelicious .. Fion is one of them, and I love her demure'ness. Sometimes I wished I wasn't to psyco-hyped. But that's just me .. can't help it. Can't wait to see ya in Penang. Land of Babes .. i'm serious .. no Shit !

And moi ... so not wanting to be left out .... as usual .. hahaha~~~
so so so narcissist of me ..

... and as usual .. I look like a drag queen in thick make up. I didn't know that the base was too light for my skin .. blame it on the poor lighting, the make up artists had a hard time too .. very very frustrating. If only I hadn't diverted my attention by being so engrossed in yacking away on the phone. So typical of me .. kapster .. that's what they call me in Penang.

* * * * * *
My Birthday .... again ! *roll eyes*

25th Year Birthday was a blast ! Simple .. but the best !

I can bet .. nobody has THE-MOST-ATYPICAL-BIRTHDAY-CAKE-EVER !

6-in-1 .. from Hyatt Regency. I get to cut my cake 6 times.

NOW BEAT THAT !

However, the Tiramisu wasn't as good as the day before's ... and I'm beginning to have a fancy in it .. Italiano Tiramisu. I'll be looking forward to the day I taste the authentic Tiramisu in Italy. On the other hand ... does it originate from Italy? Confident lebih only ... haha~ But the coincidence is just too likely, you'll never fail to find it on the menu in an Italian restaurante.

First candle .. for passing the first quarter-century mark


Prezzies Galore

I was telling Geline a while ago .. "Being Shameless Pays" !! I now have 3 strikes off my list .. thanks to all the wonderful people who wonderfully and generously parted with their loot just to make me happy. So far .. these are my "collections". They're more coming .. and I'm yet to start my "Debt Collection" ... haha. I know I'm so gonna make people envy hate me by publisizing the items. They'll probably go .. "Hao Lian" .. "Sua-ku .. never get before mer" .. or something else uneasy on the ears, heart and mind. But I wanna extend my gratefulness to them.

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSS ... WITH BIG HUGS & KISSES !

Geline .. no need to envy ... you have so much more! For more info on Tiffany craze or anything I would wanna blog on Tiffany .. head to Geline's Blog .. she wrote whatever I wanna blog about. Thanks for the help. Haha~

Most people out there think I don't need this coz I'm a G-I-R-L!

Complete rubbish! I'm so gonna be hooked on it! It's utterly stereotyping us females to be less tech/game savvy. I'll show you. Cool gift .. am loving it ! Envy me now ppl ! Haha~

Sorry Vic, you gave me a new "boyfriend" .. while you stay monogamous to your TV, I on the other hand will polygamous to my laptop, my camera .. and my PSP!


... and on top of all of the prezzies i've got .... nothing beats this !

P-R-I-C-E-L-E-S-S !

Brings instantaneous smile to everyone. Guess that's what sunflower's do.

Even though it's suffering from cronic cancer and underwent major chemo theraphy .. it still lives on .. and despite being completely bald, it still brings a smile .. plus laughter to my face.

* * * * * *

I didn't know we're able to make transactions with our ATM card.

It says "we prefer ATM card" .. so now what, credit cards are not all that rave anymore?

It's a freaking cybercafe/cafe .. and it hell doesn't have any ATM machine in it. Perhaps they provide cash withdrawing services when you don't have enough to pay, and they charge a "premium" for it. You'll know when your account has depleted in half .. or maybe all.

25th Year of Living

It's My Birthday .. I'm 25 ..

I'm a Quarter Century Old !

It has been the best birthday so far .. really ! Never been happier !

Thanks to the people who made my day .. I Love You !!!!!! Big Hugs & Kisses !!!!!!

Prezzie's have been pouring in .. good good presents !

Ohhhh ... I'm so loving 25 !

Happy .. Ecstatic .. Elated .. Thrilled .. Pleased .. Blissful .. Lucky .. Exultant .. Overjoyed ..

EUPHORIC !

Pre-Birthday Blues

It's my BIRTHDAY ... tomorrow !

Yesss'er-rie .. 6th June .. 6/6 .. mark that down people. Remember it the next year.

Downright totally shameless .. and I don't care! Blame it on the birthday jitters.

Or perhaps .. I'm just suffering from quarter-life crisis (QLC).

Everybody's been bugging me on how am I gonna celebrate the big day. And I've been giving the same answer ... No Celebration , No pre-planning , No big birthday bash. Just the usuals .. perhaps simple dinner with family or friends .. then the cake and candle blowout followed by a never-incarnate wishes (maybe I'm overdemanding or God is just plain busy with the gazillion morons making overdemanding and totally-impossible-to-fulfill wishes like mine). Never had any big hoo-haa about my birthdays so far .. well, besides the one when I was 21 .. I had a home party. After that .. it's been rather low profiled. Until I started announcing it to the world ever since I've gotten a blog *big annoying wicked smile* - shameless!

A friend of mine kept bugging me and trying to make me guilty that I DO NEED to celebrate it. Coz it's 25 .. Quarter of a Century .. and it doesn't come by anymore - and we only get to have 3 major quarters in our lives - 50th year, then 75th year .. well, don't think i'll make it to 100th year. But don't Chinese believe in the 6's or 8's ? My granny throws 80th and 88th grand birthday bashes .. what's 25??

Can't wait to see all my prezzies! Oh goody goody goody !!!!

Major point in birthdays .. haha - yet another shameless statement.

Ok .. this is plain retarded and stupid contradictory procrastination coz I'm excited about the big day. Or perhaps .. I'm schizo. See .. QLC Symptomps!!!

But nevertheless ... HAPPY !!!!!

June Babies

2 more days .. till it's my BIRTHDAY

... it's coming .. it's coming !!!!

But first ...

Happy Birthday to David & Yoke Soon !

David a.k.a. Mario turns 24 .. and my sis-bro Yoke Soon turns 23

... and i'll be 25 in 2 days time! Haha .. Can't jez let them divert all the attention from my blog can't I ?! Major ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) man !!! MAJOR !!!

Dav is the envy of all people for his bday .. he gets 24 prezzies from 1 single special person for turning 24. That was teh plan. Even though he might not get all 24 .. but he still gets more than 5 prezzies from the same person. Talk about ENVY .. or perhaps JEALOUSY! Damn~~

Weekend was a ... peaceful one I would say. Haven't had a chance to slack off at home for the longest time ever. And I had the whole Sunday to myself. Being a good Mom to my dear Son .. cleared up alot of outstanding work or WIP on my laptop .. organized my room .. organized my shoes .. watch DVD (OMG..I actually had time for DVD!).

Saturday was a relaxed one as well .. Chilled out with a couple of old friends - and I really mean really really long time friends. I've known them like since I first set my foot in JB at the age of 10 .. and it's nice to know that we're all hanging out together till now! 15 years running! Yoke Soon .. now refered to as YS coz it's a hassle to type his name, "celebrated" his 23rd year of his life in Dolce. Packed, humid, sweaty, etc etc as usual .. he got really drunk .. etc etc etc .. must be really happy to have eh-hmm drinking with him. God knows when the whole conspiracy started but when the 2 of them together .. everyone became part of the papparazi team. - I have a more disgusting pic .. but I chose not to disgust people with it. Clue: Puke.

Emelia Tan a.k.a. Byno Tan. I've always told her how fated we are to cross each other's paths. We have a long standing history in our friendship ... on and off ... and always end up together eventually again. Since primary .. to secondary .. to our late teens .. early 20's .. and now .. mid-20s.

My lil'bro .. Anthony a.k.a. Lavender-zhai. Always the horny one .. sorry babe, am not ur Korean chick .. anyanghaseyo ~~~

Back and forth Dolce and Cabana ..not really happening or enjoying. Byno reckons we had more than our fair share of laughter in the afternoon that we've lost all the exhilaration to party that night .. after all, it's a birthday "party". Oh well .. just another night.

* * * * *

The day I get more excited about my Birthday.

2 more days !!!! God knows why am I so excited. Isn't really that exciting for a woman though .. age is catching up .. and more naggings from relatives on "when are you gonna get married". It's kinda stupid coz whenever I go back to my hometown and meet these folks .. they'll interrogate me on my love-life and all. It'll be something like this ..

Relatives: Gerrr .. so big liao .. when wanna get married? Got boyfriend or not?

Me: Err ... not so soon laa .. don't even have a bf .. so you guys have to wait longer lor

Relatives: Aiyoo.. wanna wait how long, you're not getting any younger you know .. time to get serious and settle down

Me: How oo .... think any tom dick & harry also can mer .. must choose properly

Relatives: True also. Nevermind, you're still young and pretty .. take your time and choose, don't get attached so fast .. still alot of time

Me: ..... *roll eyes*

Talk about CONTRADICTION !

2 more days ...... and I have already received me first Birthday prezzie! More reasons to feel extra elated !! And guess what .. it's actually off my Top 10 Birthday Wish List! And I thought that was an Top 10 Impossible Birthday Wish List. People do take my blog seriously! *claps in excitement* See..it pays to be a little thick skinned sometimes you know. Hahahaha~~~ Now I can start crossing off the wish list - well, guess only like 1-2 will crossed off and the rest will remain and carried over for the next decade before it's really realized.

Thanks Cheryl .. my future sis-in-law. Muaksss ~~~

The day I realized that people do get younger the older they get.

No joke about it. My parents seemed to get younger each day .. not physically .. but mentally. I'm yet to find the explanation to this phenomena but I have no qualms about it at all. Although it may get annoying at times. Gone were the days we're scared of them and always find the need to hide every damn thing we do from them ... now they wanna be a part of it. Few scenarios from my home sweet home to share ..

1. My dad's into Channel 76 on Astro ... to be exact E! Entertainment channel *sweats* And introduces me to the channel .. and we both hang out for hours watching the kaypohchi details of Hollywood.
2. My mom's dancing non-stop .. and hanging out more often than I do.
3. My mom keeps herself updated on my life .. she'll come to me everyday I get home and asks about what I did .. where I go .. details details details .. like my bestfriend would.
4. She hangs out in my room .. pretending to be my galpals who stays over ..
5. Yadda yadda yadda ..... my parents are ok with my social activities .. healthy, unhealthy, good, bad ... and wanting to be a part of it. Duhhhh ~~~~~~~

On the other hand ... I HAVE THE COOLEST PARENTS !

Wished they started to be cooler when I was younger though.

My fringe is longer ! It's growing .. it's growing ...

with Steph, Sharon and FangFang after a modelling gig in City Square. I don't have much pics from the event .. can see that I only manage to post 2 decent ones in my previous entree and I had to grab this one from Steph's friendster site.

What d'ya guys think ... bangs or no bangs? Help me to decide whether should i start trimming it or let it grow out.
