What Is Your Score?

So I got an email form Jobstreet.com today asking us to do an English Assessment. Initially, i deleted it. But just seconds after i did so, Uncle Mun msn-ed me and said he took the test and told me his score. so as kiasu as our neighbor country, i took the test. ngeh ngeh ngeh...

 

*click to enlarge*

didn't have Windows Live Writer so the photos came out small. ugh.

i took the practice and got 35/40 then after that i took the assessment and got 37/40. i think it's still bad. anyway.. some of the questions are a bit confusing. and they didn't show which questions we answered wrong, so i didn't know which one i answered wrongly. everyone can take the assessment. just log on to jobstreet.com! i think it's fun cos it's been a while since the last time i use my brain. bleh!

The Pursuit Of Happiness

Was Gtalking with a friend just now and he asked, “Is happiness more than family?” well, the answer is quite subjective. Some might think happiness is family, while some, freedom is happiness. Of course, to some, money is happiness but to some, as long as their stomach is filled, it’s happiness. There are a lot of ways to define happiness and it’s different for each individual. Some might think that as long as they have a lot of money, they will be happy and their family will be happy too. But when one gets too obsessed with making money, they tend to neglect a lot of things around them. Like family and friends tho they thought money can make family happy and friends will be happy for them but in many cases, it backfired. And they will soon realise that they are actually not happy.

There are also people who think that it’s not important to have expensive clothes, big houses and nice cars because all they wish for is good health and integrity. I’m not saying that rich people don’t have integrity, it’s all different topic altogether. Let’s focus on the former. They’re happy with what they have even if they are no match with the higher society. However, people around them will say that they have no goals in their life; they don’t strive for the best and that they are just plain lazy to make some money. At the end of the day, their children might blame them for not giving them the best things in the world, which will lead the child to thinking that money is happiness and it leads them to become like what I wrote in the first paragraph.

As for some people, freedom is happiness. They don’t want anything to get in their way to achieve their kind of happiness, which is carefree and no strings attached so they can do anything as they like as long as nobody is there to stop them from doing so. They don’t care about money, they don’t care about family, all they care is about themselves. All these attitudes will make people around them angry. Angry that they’re irresponsible. Angry that they’re selfish.

A normal person will put family as their first priority and for them, happiness comes from family. Nothing is more important than family, or so they thought. Which sometimes, will make the people around them think that they’re too overprotective and old-fashioned. At the end of the day, their family hate them for being a control freak.

So in every happiness that they pursue, there are definitely sadness and negative things that will happen along the way or at the end of the pursuit. So the conclusion? It’s all about balance. We cannot change how people prefer the way they make their own happiness. We cannot stop them from thinking the way they are. Most importantly, we have to ask ourselves, are the people around me happy? Am I happy knowing that they are? Should I? Do I have to care so much?

We are all human. Sometimes, we just need to be a lil bit selfish. Sometimes, we just need to let go off that grudge.

 

To you who might be reading this, I hope you’ll be happy. You know we’re all here to support you. 

Holiday Plans!

So I’ll be going to Penang on the 18-20 Dec. Six of us has confirmed attendance. And Gem Island on the 6-8 March. So far only 3 confirmed. Bleh. And Bangkok (AGAIN!) on the 27-29 July!! Yes! So now been discussing with Vincent to go China. He said he MUST GO CHINA, dunno why he so like China. But air tickets are all like.. above RM500. T_T I know it’s considered cheap but not cheap for me lo… if RM300 I’ll go! Heh.. so if our plan jadi, we’ll go end of next year. I prefer after Oct cos still got ample time to save up after Bangkok in July. Now, I just need a part time job. Ugh… long term part time jobs that pays well are all out of questions cos the only choice is going back to Bacardi Martini Malaysia to work as “promoter”. Aih.. Smelly and Mom don’t like it (actually I don’t like it also la.. but that time no choice ma work lo..) so part time job that I can do is er….. Starbucks, maybe? But they pay is like.. damn low one lor… sigh. How leh how leh… who wanna hire weekend baby sitter? I’m willing to let go my weekend to jaga baby for you!!!  Ngeh ngeh ngeh!

So we’ve been thinking and talking about going to Gem Island (since April wtf..) and I’ve managed to get a few colleagues who are interested. But need to check the dates with no upcoming events cos project team cannot all take leave at one go. Luckily I’m one man show for my department/division/area/whatever you like to call it. Hehe. So Ann will go if she still have leave to use, Uncle Mun will go cos he cannot say no. and Smelly also lah.. cos he also have no say in this. Ngeh ngeh ngeh.. we’re quite lucky cos Smelly’s aunty works there and she got us SUPER TTL rate! And Fireflyz is having their zero fare promo and return tix is only RM70! Better than driving…  (but if no zero fare also I’ll choose Fireflyz also lah.. cos airport is near.. unlike AirAsia.. cheap flight also no use cos have to go so far, waste money. ) so the total estimate cost for the trip will be less than RM500 per person. TTL weh!

But the problem now is my colleagues.. they were saying just now that they’re afraid their boss dun like it if they all take leave together. -_- might have to change date to a week after but air tix will be double. Sigh. And latest update from Uncle Mun is he can’t make it 12-14 cos clash with Disney On Ice, he promised to bring Chloe there or something. Hmm.. I might just go on the 6-8 then… and let my indecisive colleagues decide whether they wanna come or not cos I don’t care d… my goal is to make it happen! Will give them time til Friday and then get the flight tix!

 

Oh.. btw, AirAsia’s Free Seats is back! But then… no point one.. Select destination and dates d but the page hanged. I think too many people trying to get into the website so their server cannot support. Lol. Time to expand it, Tony.

So I was hoping that I’ll get a good deal to go Taiwan.. Hopefully still can go in to the site before the 15^th. Hmm.. Taiwan in August sounds nice! Or we can go Bandung if Taiwan is too expensive. Though I really feel like going to Bangkok AGAIN, but I think Smelly will protest against the idea cos to him, Bangkok is like damn sien and nothing much. So if I go again, I’ll go with my girlfriends or Shorty, maybe?

PerspireX and Holiday Plans

So I tried PerspireX for a week now. I applied it 4 days in a row and stopped for 3 days now. And I think it’s too soon to tell whether it works or not but honestly, the next day of each application, my hands got really dry. So I think can consider it works la.. but then.. cos it’s too dry, I’m not used to it and had to apply lotion and like always, after I applied lotion on my hands, it’ll start sweating again. -_- but it’s okay.. next time I’ll try to refrain from applying lotion, see whether it works to stop the sweating or not. Oh, btw, I think I kinda know why my hands sweats so much… maybe it has something to do with my heartbeat…(Remember it’s always above 100bpm? ) I think it’s logic la.. Heartbeat fast = sweat. Right? When you exercise, your heartbeat faster that’s why you sweat.. right? Hmm… besides using PerspireX, I think I must go see doctor and take Chinese meds to “alter” my internal organs a bit.

 

 

OMG!!! Have I written anything about Gem Island? Yes yes.. Gem Island or Pulau Gemia. It’s located at Marang, Terengganu (near Kuantan). It’s actually a private island. Ming’s aunty worked there as a resort manager and his parents and sister went there for holiday last year and they said it was very nice place. I think few months ago, his aunt showed me some photos of weddings held there and seriously, it instantly became my dream wedding location! *hint hint*though the photos they put in the website is not so good quality, but imagine it taken with a good camera and by a professional. *imagine* and best part is, it’s VERY affordable lor.. (oi Smelly, start saving NOW!)

Ming’s parents said that the water there is super clear and can really see the fishes clearly, unlike PD or Penang. Wtf.. ok.. it’s better than Perhentian actually. I really wanna go there lo… who wanna go? Lets! Hmm.. always discuss with Uncle Mun and end up he will splash cold water again and say, “why not we go somewhere further? Like Phuket or Bali? Almost same price mah.. Since have to sit plane, might as well go far a bit…” a bit wtf one.. when I say go short trip, within Malaysia, he ask me to suggest, then cos Langkawi and Redang is very sien jor and Gem Island is like, we talked about it since forever, so it makes sense to suggest this place right? But he wanna go somewhere that can fly over cos he like to sit plane. -_- wtf. So I think I better plan myself and go myself cos always kena splash cold water so I better go sun tan a bit to neutralise it. I really wanna go there ASAP lo.. end of January, maybe? If not, have to wait til March or April. So long!!! Erm.. Ann, let’s go together gether.. just the two of us! Want? *big shiny eyes*

When there’s a will, there’s a way.

To sign up for gym is easy peasy. but.. go really GO is another story. so i signed up on Tuesday and i thought of going there on Wednesday, but my lazy ass say no… (ala Little Britain). Cos i had to wake up at 6am on Thursday for work, got event.. (excuses…) So Thursday.. but i forgot to pack my gym attire and put in the car. So i thought ok.. go back and change then go cos i finish at 4.30 and should reach home at 5 and still got time to change and go. but i thought nap a bit only go.. recharge ma.. woke up at 6 weh.. BUT i SLEPT til 11.30pm. wtf wtf! (and i thought i was late for work! hahaha! messed up the time and body clock… so TODAY, i finish work at 1pm. so i came home and service car, until about 3pm then i thought, okay… 4pm can go. so i avoid “napping” and niamah.. watched tv until 5. (actually still contemplating wanna go or not.. it’s drizzling weh..) okay la.. finally the angel took over the devil. so i changed, pack my things cos have to go Mid Valley for dinner with ex colleagues, and drove out. i thought.. “okay ma… it’s not HARD to go gym right…” then then… halfway driving, i realised i forgot to bring my comb. :P but i thought.. fuck it.. comb only ma.. no need to comb hair after shower nehmind.. tie up lor.. and then…… i realised that i forgot the most important thing.. after shower i dry with what?? cibai.. forgot to bring towel of all things. (cis.. dugaan..) so i made a u-turn to take it. (by that time, the devil almost took over and said “it’s a SIGN!! you’re meant to stay at home to SLEEP” but the angel is stronger… “drive a short distance only… work out and look GREAT is more important right?”).

so i finally reached that place. another dugaan is parking. have to make 3 rounds before i found it.. somemore half to walk a bit in the rain. nehmind… workout is more important! so i reached there at about 5.30pm. still got ample time to workout.

since it’s my actual first day, the trainer took my body measurements and weight. i almost died knowing my weight weh… too long didn’t weigh myself at home (in denial, remember?) ok lah.. maybe a bit exaggerated, but it’s the heaviest of my life weh!! fml. okay, so apparently my body fat is within the normal range, my body water is like 40 or 50% i can’t remember. wtf.. and my body muscles is only 26%?? hahaha.. damn wtf and fml. checked my diabetes also.. it’s within the normal range. so the trainer told me if i start working out,  i can lose that water a bit and muscles can go higher a bit. wtf.. he din say weigh will drop one? bleh.

then he asked me to cycle on that thing to check my dunno what. so i cycle lo… he put a clip on my ear to check the pulse rate one.. then he said my pulse is a bit higher than normal. normal people would have 95-98? (if i remember correctly from what i studied in form 3 wtf. lol. correct me if i’m wrong.)

ok.. i found something about pulse rate..

What is Normal Pulse Rate?
The normal pulse rate for humans, while resting, ranges between 60 to 80 beats per minute. In well-conditioned athletes, the pulse rate can also be as low as 60. When the pulse rate exceeds the normal range for a resting pulse, the condition is referred to as tachycardia, and when it falls below the normal range, the condition is referred to as bradycardia. Immense variations are observed in the heart rate when the individual indulges in different activities. For instance, while sleeping the pulse rate of the individual may drop down to as low as 40 beats per minute, whereas while exercising, it may rise to as high as 150 - 200 beats per minute. To understand about normal heart rate read more on what is normal heart rate.

Normal Pulse Rate for Adults: The normal pulse rate for men is approximately 68 to 75 beats per minute, whereas the normal pulse rate for women is approximately 72 to 80 beats per minute. The normal pulse rate for adults, at rest or during some physical activity, depends on their age and weight. For instance, a younger woman will display a higher heart rate than an older woman. Similarly, a woman with more weight will display a higher heart rate compared to her counterpart with less weight.

Normal Pulse Rate for Children: The normal pulse rate for children varies according to their age. For instance, the normal pulse rate for an infant would range between 100 to 160 beats per minute, whereas the same in toddlers or young children would range between 70 to 120 beats per minute. Older children most often display a pulse rate between 60 to 100 beats per minute.

wtf.. see what i highlighted?

ok, continue with my pulse rate… it’s 102-107. ya.. it’s either i’m still an infant, toddler, young child or.. I AM HEAVY to get that kind of pulse. but actually, even when i was still in secondary school, i’ve checked my normal pulse rate is memang above 100 one.. so i think it’s normal for me gua… (hyperactive? don’t think so..) but there must be some scientific explanations right? i dunno.. but i think so far i’m quite healthy *touch wood* so my pulse is not a big problem (my weight is).

so anyway.. yeah.. after the cycle thingy, he checked and i was ok. overall normal.

then….

we went to do some real workout.

biceps and triceps is ok la.. not very hard to do. but the thigh part.. i tell you… cos i tried the first time on Tuesday and my inner thigh muscles are still very sore until now. so he asked me to do the inner thigh.. wtf very hard lor. cos the pain from the first time i did it is still there and he ask me to do one set.. okla.. he lighten it for me after i said cannot move. wtf. i managed to complete it la.. then after all that arms and thighs, abs pulak..(main point – tummy). the machines for abs are very bearable. but when he asked me to lie down and lift my leg up to do a 90 degree or L shape, i really thought i died. (ok., exaggerating again) the first time i did was on Tuesday and i gave up after 4 times. but today, cannot embarrass myself. i managed to finish the set. *pats self*  

so basically, working out is really hardwork! wtf.

so after all that, he asked me to do cardio. and i thought…”ok lah.. at last can cycle a bit….” but he walked me to the treadmill! wtf wtf wtf. i was like… “not the treadmill… not the treadmill..” ugh. -_-

i hate running! the last time i ran was like… TEN years ago??!? wtf.. and that’s one of the reason i stopped hockey cos too much running.. and he ask me to run. fml. okay.. so in order to save my face from embarrassment, i run lo… when he said “15 minutes, ok?” i immediately felt like its going to be 15 years. T_T

so i walked for  3 mins and ran for 5 mins and walk and run… and walk.. and run.. i kept looking at the time it really feels long… but i finally found a secret to keep running. (i ended up running more than walk in that 15 minutes).

ok.. actually got 3 secret.

1. I WANT TO GET MY MONEY BACK from Smelly.

2. must prove to Uncle Mun that i’m not 3 minutes heat! (三分钟热度）that day he splash a bucket of cold water (put lang sui/泼冷水) say i won’t maintain it one…

3. ULTIMATE moral/emo/psycho support is.. i MUST look great in THAT dress! *imagine looking stunning in THAT dress* cannot look BIG/FAT/FLABBY/LOOSE/CHUBBY/horrible in THAT dress!

 

i tell you… i keep on imagining no. 3 that i don’t feel tired or out of breath while running! wtf!! normally i run ten steps i’ll feel tired,out of breath, stomach cramp, dizzy, what else..? LAZY? but no, while i imagine, i ran even faster and didn’t even think that it’s running! it’s like… “ceh… like walking only what…” like that!! muahahahaha…

so from now onwards, i’ll use that “ultimatum” to run.

 

it is really not easy ok… i mean to actually GO to gym.. so now i’ll think of the ULTIMATUM every time the devil creeps back in.

My new love - Eva Xafira Elme.

But i prefer calling her Chinese name, Choi Yi. 

My baby niece is growing up.. her facial features changed bit by bit now.. she looks more like Shorty to me.. her curly hair is so nice.. so cute! every time i see her, i feel happy. and i'm glad that even though we don't see each other often, she still remembers me. hehe. she's 20 months-old now. *cubitz* but she don't really like the idea of talking. i guess it's because we speak to her in Malay, Mandarin, Cantonese, English and sometimes Hakka. wtf.. confused. but she's getting better at it now. she like to say "No!"(imitate the mother. lol) and she knows a lot of words.. like car, key, zerd (lizard), ney (Barney), didi (daddy)... and of course.. yiyi (aunty, which is ME!)

 Shotry brought her to Genting.. dunno when cos i stole these photos. she likes to put her tongue out like that. i think because the tooth is growing.

cute Minie romper. 

and one of her signature expression.

see? so "express". <3

i requested to babysit her this weekend. can't wait!!

Step One: Sign Up! Step Two: MAINTAIN!

today, at approximately 9p.m., i signed up for gym membership.

my first gym membership. wtf i hope i don't waste it.

it's located at Taman Desa, a very small and comfortable gym. wtf i forgot to take a look at the name. haha. i remember got the word "Impressive"... not many people cos i went there around 8p.m. to meet Kenny there. at first i thought go there just for trial... but then Kenny told me it's only RM300 for 6 months.. so thinking that it's TTL (tai tou lan/really worth it), why not? there are a few personal trainers there as well. and they have yoga class and dunno what other class i didn't ask cos i know i'll end up only doing cardio. wtf. but when i go make payment, he say RM300 for 6 months is for family members only (Kenny's brother, Eddie referred him). so i had to pay RM570/6 months instead of RM300. wtf. a bit jah dou. i told Kenny if we know earlier, we tell him i'm his cousin or something.. lol.  but it's ok la.. still quite affordable. the gym guy say free one more month for me wor.. ok lo.. 

actually before Kenny told me about the gym thing, i told Smelly that i'm thinking of joining gym. the one near my office. cos after work no need stuck in jam, can go work out. then i ask Smelly if i can join or not, he ask me to go... (wtf.. i ask him can or not cos i want him to sponsor lah.. apa lagi...) then he told me Kenny say the gym there cheap go see first.. so just now i go trial terus sign up. wtf.. i feel a bit impulsive lor... so after i paid, i text Smelly...

"bie... i joined gym. RM570. Thank you! *kiss*"

when he reached home just now, he ask why RM570.. (wtf, sure he thought i fat that's why more expensive.knn) so after i explained to him about the family thingy, i told him..

"eh.. do you think i'm a bit impulsive ah??"

"mmm...."

"i think so lor.. (wtf. sendiri ask, sendiri jawab) but you have to pay for me one wor.... you promise d..."

"mm.. impulsive ah... *paused* .....  no ark! GOOD lah! so i pay you back monthly. if you stop going, i stop giving you back the money!"

-_-

why my smelly boyfriend so smart one.

I have to learn how to be cold-hearted.

“I’m actually very angry!!!”

“No you’re not. You’re just disappointed. *smirk*” (I swear I can feel you smirk even if it’s over the phone ok!)

“I’m serious! I am very very angry!”

“I know you won’t…”

*defeated* “Sigh. That’s why you take me for granted. You knew I wouldn’t do that to you, right? Next time, I’ll stress the word ‘REALLY REALLY REALLY going to STOP calling you’”

“Yeah, next time stress the words like you really mean it. Cos when you do that, I’ll know I still have one month grace period to make it up to you before you really take action.”

-_-   “Can’t you just pretend that I will? Ugh.”

I hate it.

I hate that you know me too well.

PerspireX

For those of you who know me long enough, definitely you’re aware that I have sweaty palms. I don’t know how normal it is to have sweaty palms but for my case, it’s definitely excessive perspiration, something that I can’t control cos I had sweaty palms for as long as I can remember (and I think it’s genetic cos my mom have the same problem but not as serious as mine). I remember during school days, my books are normally soaked with the sweat while I write and I normally had to use tissue or handkerchief as a base on top of the book to absorb the sweat so that it won’t get wet. Most of the time, when I was on the phone for too long, I’ll see sweat dripping from my hand. Really DRIP one.. No kidding! It’s quite serious if you ask me. Usually, my hands will sweat when I’m nervous, excited, worried, or whatever that can trigger my heartbeat faster. Very inconvenient sometimes. Especially when I hand to shake someone’s hand. It’s embarrassing la…

Another thing that most people don’t know is I have sweaty feet as well. Though not most of the time, but it’ll sweat if I’m very nervous or hot. This one is definitely VERY embarrassing, especially when I had to take off my shoes cos sweaty feet causes bad odor. I remember there’s one time, I had to take off my shoes when I went for an interview (their office everyone take off shoes one…) and I had to immediately ask where’s the toilet so that I can wash my smelly feet. (Wtf, why am I telling this? -_-) Ming always teases me whenever I got back from work or if I went out wearing covered shoes and he’ll shoo me out of the room cos my feet is very smelly. And sometimes, my feet sweat even when I’m wearing flip-flops! Wtf. Damn tragic lor.

I cannot apply lotion on my hands even if it’s very dry cos after few minutes of applying lotion, it’ll start sweating. And worse and weird part is, after I apply lotion on my hands and start sweating, my feet automatically sweat also! Wtf.. I cannot comprehend why it’s like that. Is there even a scientific reason to that?

Apart from sweaty palms and hands, underarms are the most common part of the body to sweat. Though I sweat excessively on hands and feet, I was lucky that my underarm doesn’t sweat as much. But there are times that it sweats for no reasons, just like my hands! I sweat even in cold indoor without sunlight places, and even when I’m wearing sleeveless! It’s very annoying lor… especially when I’m wearing something light like gray or blue. That’s why ever since secondary school, I try to avoid buying those colors though I really like to wear them. So my wardrobe contains mostly black, other really dark colors and red. White is another choice that I can wear cos cannot see much sweat stain but white makes me look fat so I try to avoid that color also. Wtf… double tragic cos I used to like colorful things but my sweat problems stopped me from being colorful and happy. T_T

Ming was telling me to exercise more to regulate the sweat cos he says maybe because I don’t exercise, so no sweat so the pore clogged and sweat during unnecessary times. (Again, any scientific reasons supporting his theory? Cos I think he’s just making it up to make me exercise!) and he asked me to eat Zinc cos apparently it helps a bit especially to cure smelly feet. Ugh.. I told him I wanna go do operation one day to stop all the sweat. Wtf.. I rather not sweat my entire life than to sweat excessively. =(  whoever having  the same problem as mine will know what I’m going trough.

But…

I went window shopping yesterday at Guardian just to see what else I need at home and something caught my attention. It’s called PerspireX apparently it helps to stop excessive perspiration and unpleasant odor.

 

They have two types of anti-perspirant, PerspireX Roll-on, which is for underarm, and PerspireX Lotion, for hand and feet (can be used at other areas please refer to their website). I was skeptical cos I never heard of the brand before and I never really know that there are products that can help to cure sweat problems (if not cure, I think it can make it better). so I I thought I can give it a try since I’ve been thinking about the problem for so long… I bought the PerspireX Lotion, just to try if it really works. If it does, I’ll get the roll-on as well. It’s not cheap lor… RM55.90 for a bottle (same price for the roll-on as well). I forgot to see how many ml it contains but it says it can last for 2-3 months. Use is every day for 3 days, then 2-3 times a week after that. Last night was the first night I tried it. It is alcohol based and apparently contains no water (please visit their website for more info) so the smell is like alcohol but very mild. It’s not lotion like the normal lotion like we use, it’s like… alcohol. Not like the one we drink la.. It’s watery and evaporates almost instantly after application. Today is the first day after trying it yesterday. But my hands still sweat but only after I apply lotion cos it’s very dry. My feet on the other hand… also still sweat but not as heavy as usual, also because I applied lotion on my hands that’s why it triggers it. I hope this really works. Ming seems to be interested in the roll-on as well. He doesn’t really have sweat problems or should I say, sweat stain problem, but I think he don’t like the sweaty feeling. Hmm… I wonder if he has to shave his armpit hair to use the product… if not, the hair will absorb the lotion, not the skin lor.. right, right? Hahahaha!!! (imagining bald-armpit Ming) hahahahahhahahaha!

How To Differentiate An Optimist And A Pessimist.

I was browsing through my friend’s photo album of his friend’s wedding the other day and I saw the plate number of the wedding car. The plate number is CCC something. So I told Smelly…

Dy: Eh bie, see see… the plate number quite nice right.. CCC. “Cash Cash Cash”, “Cash, Career, Condo” .. haha..

 

Smelly: Where got nice.. not nice at all lo… “Sei Sei Sei” nice meh? Stupid one this fella. (“Si Si Si *in Hokkien meaning Die* )

 

Dy: Yawor.. I never thought of that! Hmm.

 

This is what we call different perspective.

 

Funny how minds work.

Ideal Guy

I’m sure every girl has an Ideal Guy in their mind. But somehow, we’re living in reality, so mostly likely, we’ll settle for the Closest-To-Our-Ideal guy. Just like my case, Smelly is not exactly ideal, but somewhat ideal. Let me share why I say so and tell how/what is MY Ideal Guy (in no particular order). [note why I say “somewhat” in the brackets / or maybe it’s just some excuses for me to say he’s ideal cos I’m living in denial. Wtf.]

A guy who reads. Because I like reading and I like to have someone to share my thoughts and views on books that I read. Unfortunately, Smelly doesn’t read. So we can’t really share thoughts on books that I like and he doesn’t know why I like it. (though he doesn’t read books, he reads a lot of articles about cars on the internet. Still counts as READ right?).

A romantic guy (which girl doesn’t like??). I’m not talking about extreme romantics here (like renting out the whole hotel’s swimming pool area just for dinner for two) cos I still prefers practical. I’m talking about simple romantic thoughts or gestures like star gazing or cuddling? Another trait that Smelly doesn’t have. He falls on Totally Very Practical category, so don’t expect any candlelight dinner or a bouquet of flowers from him. (although he’s practical, he still surprise me with some offhanded sweet-nothings once is a blue moon. Which is very rare. But at least he unknowingly made me feel romantic at that moment. Wtf.)

A guy who can hang out with MY friends. Because I want my close friends to know him and vice versa. Just like how I’d always tag along when he’s out with his friends (now became my friends too). Smelly is totally NOT interested to hang out with ANY of my friends if he has a choice. Which is why until now, even my best friends never really met him. (But this, I can understand, cos generation gap. Wtf. And he tried hanging out with one of my friends that I hang out with very often that time, and he had a very bad experience. At least he tried.)

A guy who cares. About my whereabouts, at least. Smelly definitely don’t ace in this area. He never call to check on me whenever I’m out, even if it’s 4a.m. Most of my friends said it’s good cos their boyfriends calls every 5 minutes to check on them. Of course I don’t like my boyfriend to call every minute, but at least check on me if it’s too late? Isn’t he worried? (but it’s because he trust me and usually, I’ll let him know before I go out so he doesn’t call. Wtf. He trust me ma.. ok next time I don’t let him know.. see he will call or not!)

A sensitive guy. By sensitive, I meant sensitive towards my emotions. Don’t get me started on being sensitive towards my feelings… ugh.. sometimes, I really think that he’s a wood. Wtf. Cos most of the time, he doesn’t know if I’m angry or sad. He thought I’m being funny. Fml. (this one really no comment cos obviously he failed. It’s either he purposely pretend dunno or he really thought I’m being funny!)

A guy who remembers important days. Like anniversaries and birthdays. Because I think these type of special days are important for all girls. It shows how romantic, sensitive and caring a guy is! Well this, so far I cannot say anything for it cos I’ll take initiative to plan something out and he’ll automatically remember. Hahah. Next year must stop planning, see he remembers or not!

So.. we will search for high and low for our ideal partner. But most likely, we’ll end up with someone least expected. But if you look at the person with your heart, they’ll become somewhat ideal to you. At the end of the day, it’s how you accept the person beside you and learn to turn their flaws to perfection. Just like how I accepted Smelly.

M.A.C.C 1st EGM - Second Visit & Fruitful Weekend

went to watch M.A.C.C 1st EGM for the second time yesterday. i dragged Tockie to go with me this time. Chi Ho wasn't performing due to chicken pox fever so it was just Douglas and Jenhan. a lil bit disappointed cos i like Chi Ho's jokes! hmm. anyhow, the show was a success, i'd say.

  sempat took a photo with Douglas Lim

and Jenhan. oh oh.. he left a comment on my post the other day! Chi Ho also.. hehehe.. looks like they really care about the show huh! *thumbs up*! hope to see them more often!

a bit shy la..hehehe.. first time taking photo with celebrity is like that one.. HAHAHA. anyway, i’m quite happy that i found out Douglas will be performing at my company’s annual dinner this Friday! *jump around in joy*

we’re still early after the show so we went for dinner. we drove to Puchong to have bak kut teh that was TOTALLY recommended by Vincent. but we reached there at 5.30pm and it was not open yet. =( it says open at 6pm but we're too hungry to wait so i suggested to go shabu-shabu at Bandar Puteri. it's buffet style but we don't have to walk to take our food. it's served on a kaiten belt with our individual pot. it's really for lazy people. heh! for RM26.50 per pax, it's considered worth the money.

their food are mostly veges, meat balls, fish balls and all sorts of balls, they also have fresh prawns, sea cucumber (Vince ate like.. 4 plates), fish, beef and lamb cubes.

and the star dish was pork slices.

they have a special sauce and chili for us to dip on. very tasty as it has a hint of lemon in the sauce. they also have Lemon Slush and Orange Slush to wash down the hot food. it's very refreshing cos it's sourish and we could eat more after drinking a few sips. =) teas and plain water also available. all self service. downside of that place that it's no smoking, we had to go out to do so. otherwise, it's quite nice.

  clear soup. i think they only have one type of soup since they didn’t ask us what we prefer.

 

  electronic cooker. i think it’s safer to use this instead of gas.

my pot of boiling dinner. which looks quite yummy cos of the color. i do love my vege…

 

Vince

Tockie who keep on taking and dumping stuff into his pot. (notice his left hand?)

  what else? twitting!!! he’s so busy that night.

 

after dinner, i follow Tockie to Taman Tun to meet his friends for a short meeting cos i didn’t drive and he was nice to drive me to Mont Kiara after that to meet my other bestie, Ann, for our supposedly girls night out. but you can take Tockie as a girl la.. (pls hop on his FB and look at his profile.) Tockie was craving for sisha (cos he’s pregnant. pls take a look at his FB photo again), so we went to Hartamas. we settled at Joe’s Burger. ahh.. finally got to try the infamous burger.

Joe Burger. Homemade beef patty. actually take a lil bit better than Ramlee burger. and definitely way bigger. but for RM7, i rather eat my usual Ramlee burger daging special cheese bawang goreng tak mau sayur, which only costs me RM4.50.

 

 

ann trying sisha for the first time. Tockie giving her a tutorial.

 

although it’s the first time they met each other, i’m glad that they clicked. at least there were no dead silence la.. hopefully we’ll get to hang out more!

 

p/s- Annie, i know i owe you a girls’ night out. we’ll plan it out ok? hehe… let’s get drunk!

My Top 5 Treat List

Talking about shopping in the previous post, I do think that it’s normal for a girl to shop once a month. It will lessen the shock like I just had after counting the number of things that I bought and calculating the money that’s gone. And even after buying so many things, I still have a list of things that I have in my Treat List (actually more to a wish list that is long forgotten):-

 

1.    I do really want to go to New York to visit mommy. It’s been my dream and in my wish list for SO LONG that I almost thought it’s not possible anymore (no money ma…). Even though we call each other at least 3 times a week and webcam at least twice a month, it’s really not the same as seeing her in person. To date, it’s almost 4 years since the last time I hugged her.

2.    Another treat that I would really like to give myself is to finish my (another long forgotten) Japanese class. I’ve actually signed up in March this year to continue the lesson where I’ve left 6 years ago but due to work, I abandoned the class yet again. To get a cert in that language will be a real treat to me, which I’m sure most likely will happen before the New York trip. =)

not exactly this but similar.

3.    What’s a treat if it’s without a material thing right? Recently, I’m eyeing on a Chanel bag. I think I don’t have to elaborate more on this! It’ll really complete any girls’ wardrobe! Really!!

4.    Another real treat for me will be a house. I think being 24, it’s time to get my own place and start planning for future. Besides, having my own place means more privacy and I love the idea of decorating a new place!! (without being restrained from doing this or that. LOL).

5.    Lastly of course, I’d really love to have the Dell Inspiron 13! Since I don’t have my own laptop yet (and waiting for Mom to send me one will take me forever), this is the perfect thing to have! Small enough for me to carry around and it has RED or PINK color to choose from! heheh.. and the specs are quite suitable for my normal usage. View the specs here.

I’ve been creating wish list so many times and almost all of it never happens. Wtf.. wish ma.. lol.. so hopefully by saying that it’s a TREAT list instead of WISH list, it will really going to come true this time! Gahh… and now,

Dell is giving away special coupon code 7ZQVQF2RLZRKW3  would allow anyone who makes purchase of a Dell Inspiron 13 (S510701MY) with RM100 Instant Cash Redemption!!. This promotion is only available online or by calling Dell at 1800-88-0301. This coupon code expires on 10th Nov 2009.

Please Rain Money.

 the last time i went for my major shopping spree was before Chinese New Year this year. after that, i only bought like one or two tops and a pair of shoes. until 2 months ago. within these 50 days, i bought myself..

- 6 dresses.

- 5 tops.

- 1 kebaya.

- 5 shoes.

- 3 necklaces.

- 1 bag

- 2 clutches

- 1 belt.

- 11 bra set (it was warehouse sale okay...)

- 3 nighties

- 1 make-up palette

- 1 foundation (long waited Chanel!!! still with Siew Ling tho..)

ok.. counting the things that i bought is a nightmare already. i can't believe that i bought so many things within such a short time! fml. but i got reasons one!! i never shop for so long d.. it's time, right? plus, i got so many dinners to attend, cannot be wearing the same thing ma.. right? and.. everything i bought is totally not overpriced. ok la.. except for some shoes and dresses. but still within the medium price range.

now, tell me where can i sell my unused & preloved clothes & bags? 

arghh!!! my toner and moisturizer is going empty!! fml. no wonder the numbers in my bank account never multiply. wtf.
