August Rush

2010-08-16T23:35:00.003+08:00

Dear Post,

It’s finally August again! Busy...busy...busy!!! Back to work for me and this time with extra challenging tasks. I’ve got KPI’s to meet (Key Performance Index) to keep me on track. My new role now is purely sourcing, meaning to say, I’m looking out for talents to work in Dell. So if you do have any friends looking out for jobs in Dell, ping me!

Two weekends ago, I attended a photo shoot. A friend needed my help to be her model for her make-up exam - “Big Eyes”. It was a 5 hour plus shoot with 5 different types of eye look so you can imagine the amount of makeup I had on during the whole time. The pictures are sent for editing. I can’t wait to see the result.

I even made a new friend thanks to a certain someone who apparently thinks I’m not over him. I could just die laughing. It’s been a year and seriously, he hasn’t changed one bit. Not only is he commitment phobic but a compulsive liar. Anyway, I can’t be bothered anymore. Karma will present itself in due time.

I am contented. :)

Home Cooked Food : Pan-grilled Balsamic Herb Lamb Chop & Linguini Pasta

2010-07-23T21:42:00.008+08:00

What could be better than spending a Friday night at home with a loved one? I have decided to cook him a meal.

Pan-grilled Balsamic Herb Lamb Chop. I googled up for the marinade recipe but I’ve decided to estimate my own amount.

Ingredients:

· 5 lamb shoulder chops

· 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil

· 4 tablespoons of honey

· 6 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar

· 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

· 5 cloves garlic, minced

· Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

To marinate the lamb, I’ve combined all of the ingredients together and left it to soak overnight. Topped with a whole rosemary branch as an extra.

As a side dish, I made my own Linguini with finely diced garlic & onions, chunks of chicken ham & chopped button mushrooms. For taste, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt & freshly ground black pepper.

The outcome : Grilled to perfection! *Hearts*

A bottle of sparkling grape juice to quench our thirst after a fantatic meal.

Cooling Off

2010-07-21T02:33:00.001+08:00

Time flies, it’s been 1 year working with Dell. Right now, I’m on a 1 week cooling off period which is a standard procedure for all temps on their next contract renewal (yearly basis). Yes, I’m still a temp due to insufficient headcount in my department. It is not easy for my department to get a permanent headcount. Even if they do, it’s only for someone who has years of experience in that line. Right now, I’m awaiting good news. I know for a fact that I will be getting a salary increment but they have yet to disclose the amount. As for my contract, whether I’m being converted to a perm or remain under an agency have yet to be finalized.

It’s my 3rd day being “jobless” – so far so good. Will definitely make full use of my 1 week before going back to work on Monday. I am going to enjoy my pampering sessions and work-free getaway relaxation in the comfort of my own sanctuary.

Till then, pray for me & wish me luck.

A recap post for late June & early July.....

2010-07-09T12:08:00.002+08:00

One post to summarize them all:

24th June 2010 (Thursday) – Headed over to Gurney to collect the Fossil watch. Put in a deposit of RM 100 much earlier to secure that model. The gift was for my 1 year anniversary with Jasmon and it cost RM529. At the end of the day after much negotiating, they gave me a 10% discount.

25th June 2010 (Friday) – Took my annual leave to rest at home.

26th June 2010 (Saturday) – As usual, Sarah & I have decided that we should come up with another theme party for her birthday. Considering the fact that we enjoy being creative. After much deliberation, we settled for an all white party with toilet paper decos. We celebrated at Bayu Emas, Batu Feringghi. The apartment looks crappy on the outside but amazingly enough, the boutique apartment that Sarah rented was damn nice & cozy and it cost her like RM 300 plus.

We started off early on the alcohol and had pizzas for dinner. Loads of things to talk / gossip about. A fun night indeed! I guess all of us got a little carried away. Most of the pictures were quite obscene. At least 10 / 20 years down the road, we’ll look back and remind ourselves how crazy we were during our young adulthood. Maybe Jasmon would. :)

----- C L I C K . TO . V I E W . P I C T U R E S -----

27th June 2010 (Sunday) – Checked out from Bayu Emas and then checked in again to Tanjung Bungah Hotel. Since we took Monday off to recover, Sarah got us a room so that the both of us can just chill, relax and get some sun tanning. The weather wasn’t very nice so we had to wait until Monday morning to get our sun tan.

28th June 2010 (Monday) – Went shopping :). Bought myself a pair of denim shorts & an oriental looking top from OFO. Went to Queensbay Mall and bought myself a bright red baby doll top with sleeve and a bright purple tube dress from Kitschen. I was a happy little girl.

2nd July 2010 (Friday) – Had a HR Team building session with my colleagues at Damai Laut, Lumut. All of us were staying in Swiss Garden Resort & Spa Damai Laut. Made a few stops on the way to Bagan Panchor (To see the fisherman boats – Apparently known to be famous for drug dealing and the brick houses there were build on sea.) & Pantai Remis (Had lunch in one of the restaurants there and stopped by for some homemade otak-otak – Love it!)

----- C L I C K . TO . V I E W . P I C T U R E S -----

3rd July 2010 (Saturday) – Before checking out, we did some team building activity. By the time I reached home was around 4ish. The rest of my remaining weekends were spent with him.

5th July 2010 (Monday) – Officially our 1 Year Anniversary!!!!! Jasmon and I thought it would be nice to go back to Smokey Jacks at Upper Penang Road to have dinner. It was the place we went to on our first date. That morning itself, I had to do some last minute shopping. Now you see, Jasmon made his guess that I will be getting him either a watch, an electronic photo frame or a photo album. I really don’t know how he does it but he is really good at guessing games.

Anyway, I decided to get him a simple Four Skin shirt to divert his attention from the main gift. Put it in a box and wrapped it up nicely with my own handmade card. That night, I presented him his gift. He was pretty excited about it. I can tell he was slightly disappointed and I know he does not want to admit it. He likes the card better than the shirt coz it’s more meaningful. To him a shirt is just like any other shirts. I told him that this was not the main gift. So I took the other wrapped box and handed it over. I could tell he was speechless when he opened it. He got up and gave me a long kiss on the lips. I knew it was the biggest gift he has ever received.

That night was just perfect...everything is. It will definitely be a night to remember. :)

----- C L I C K . TO . V I E W . P I C T U R E S -----

I did not use up all the money. Bought myself a Riz Rice L'occitane moisturizer which cost me RM125 after a 5% discount, a Forever21 top which cost RM 119 and something to pamper myself - a French manicure. *Big Smiles*

Gene's 5th (Kuasa Dua) Birthday Party

2010-06-07T14:35:00.002+08:00

Gene's 25th bday party was a blast. The hard work (Sarah & I) in putting together a theme party turned out well. The rented apartment was filled with loads & loads of odd shape balloons and colorful streamers. It took us a lot and I mean A LOT of effort to blow them up. Thank gawd for the air pump! As a joke, Jasmon & I bought Eugene a barbie doll birthday cake since it would fit the theme. It was not meant for eating just something we can stick his face into.

Birthday BOY!

Hennessy Artistry (The Global Art of Mixing) '10

2010-06-01T00:03:00.011+08:00

Hennessy party is back once again! Red carpet, artists, lights, cameras, paparazzi, Djs, loud banging music, crazy camwhoring friends, free flow of hennessy....*phew*....the list goes on. What more can I say? It's an unforgettable event!

The music was awesome and the location is perfect for events such as this. Last year, 2009 Hennessy party, a local artist, Caprice brought me up stage to dance with him. This year, 2010 Hennessy party, Summer Daniels...surprisingly enough took my hand and brought me up stage to dance with her. Unfortunately, I've got no prove. *sighs*

Here are some pictures to feast on during the night of the party. Be warned, they're all cam-whoring poses.....

Room Reno

2010-04-20T11:35:00.000+08:00

Renovation for my room is completed! Here's a glimpse of it.

Delicate Violets

2010-03-29T15:11:00.004+08:00

It’s funny how when you rush into something, you might end up getting screwed at the end of the day. It’s true! I’ve witness it...just recently. All talks but no action? That is just plain sad. Really should have thought about it before telling everyone you’re engaged. Amazingly enough, history does know how to repeat itself somehow. Guess it’s just another vicious love cycle.

Anyway, I’m extremely excited about the house. The garden fencing is all done up but the only thing that is pending is the landscaping. Not to mention, I’m finally getting a room...my very own room!!! Embarrassingly enough, I still share it with mum.

Renovation starts tomorrow! Dad’s T.V room will be converted into my own personal sanctuary. I’ve already decided on the color for the walls – (Naughty Neutral & Newbury Neutral). Jasmon will be sponsoring the paint *Big Grins*. I am in love with the combination of colors in this chart.

Ok, I love Purple in general. Gosh! The more I look at it, the more undecided I become. *Knocks Head on Wall*.

There is also a sink in that room. Awkward but I’m going to leave it as it is. I’ll be getting a new basin for that and a lot of other mini minor stuffs. Walls and ceiling will be plastered up completely to hide all the wirings. Cost : RM1750.00. My wardrobe will be entirely custom made to my liking. Cost: RM2100.00. Still need to buy bedroom lights and maybe a bed. *Stress*

I’ll post up pictures of it once it’s completed (the before & after). It will take at least 2 weeks plus to get it completed. To make things even better for me, I heard there’s a home deco exhibition coming up early April. I am so gonna window shop and get ideas from there. Whee!!! I’m so excited!!!

Travelling down South

2010-03-15T14:20:00.001+08:00

Making an effort here to update this blog. Have been busy with back to back meetings & trainings this entire month. At least I'm doing something that would benefit me in future. Will be heading down to Johor today on a business trip for 4 days 3 nights. Maybe I'll pop over to Singapore whenever I have time off. :)

Sitting in the office right now blogging, clearing up my emails, training the new temp and making sure everything is in place. I will be staying in Mercure Golf Resort previously known as Sofitel. Looks pretty nice from the website. All expenses fully paid for by the company, how nice. Since my room comes with breakfast, I get to claim USD15 for lunch & USD30 for dinner. Whee!~

Time to go...

Happy Chinese New Year everybody!!! I know it's late but better late than never.

*Smiles* It's my favourite time of year to collect lots of 'Ang Pows', meet up relatives & friends, eat good food and get fat. I had my share of fun this CNY minus the horrible weather.

2010-01-23T23:37:00.004+08:00

I have received quadruple the amount of wishes be it on Facebook, SMS, Calls and F2F compared to last year. Words cannot describe how happy I am! My 24th Birthday was a blast and it's good to know that i'm not forgotten. To those of you who took the effort to wish me, a BIG fat THANK YOU goes out to you.

My TA team gave me a small surprise party in one of the meeting rooms. I knew it was gonna happen cause they have been doing that to every other colleague. I prepared myself not to fall for it but...I did.

So my birthday dinner was at Tao, E-gates. Nothing beats spending quality time with my love ones on this very special occasion.

As for my wonderful Jasmon, so full of surprises! He told me a day before that he couldn't afford to get me anything expensive because he was broke for the month. He asked me if I like soft toys. My answer to that was No! His expression completely change, like he was worried or something and I knew he actually did get me a soft toy. He said it's cute and i'll like it a lot. He was right! I sure did!

.....cute right?!?

.....now I really thought that was it.....until he showed up with.....

My Favourite white Lillies, white & champaign pink Roses

Red Bobino - Pointed Toe Pumps

I've always wanted a pair of ALDOs and I finally got it!!!!! It's one of the latest design. Super love it!

Could not stop smiling to myself. The effort he puts into getting me all these gifts were priceless. He really makes me feel special and for that I LOVE him sooooo damn much!!!

Tragic Death

2010-01-20T13:29:00.002+08:00

Extending my deepest condolences to the families and friends of the dearly departed.

It is a hard breaking news to find out such tragedy has taken place in Penang.

I've gathered a few links about the incident for you guys to read:-

2010-01-13T15:56:00.005+08:00

Everyone keeps telling me i'm lucky.

I admit I am. I guess good things do come to those who wait.

First of all, my company gave me a laptop (Latitude D420). No doubt it's 3rd hand but it's still pretty much in good condition. Got it upgraded to Windows 7 Enterprise. Love it cause it's small! Still trying to familiarize myself with it.

**********

Anyway, Mr. Lee sent me an sms yesterday afternoon:-

Mr. Lee : "Hi joyce, can we hv dinner with u n yr gd friend 2nite as my son will leave 4 kl 2morrow. Hope u all can make it. tx"

Me : "Hi uncle, we'll come. What time?"

Mr. Lee : "7pm bali hai"

Uncle wanted to introduce me to his son so the next time he's in Penang, he'll have a friend to lepak with. Ok, so maybe not. Was pretty sort of like a match make thing for Sarah. Mr. Lee & I had the idea of getting them to meet since Xmas.

So, we were at Bali Hai, Gurney Drive and the amount of food Mr. Lee had ordered is massive sick:- Steam Fish, Alaska Crab, Lobster, Geoduck, Flower crabs (2 different dishes) and Vege. There were 4 of us to begin with, Jasmon only came later to help. We even had leftovers!

**Sigh** Today I'm gonna have to put extra minutes on the treadmill.

Hot Bod

2010-01-08T16:59:00.002+08:00

You have no fucking idea how hard Yoga actually is! The class went on for 75mins and in between I ended up with feet cramps.

I don't know if I should regret or be contented for joining the gym by paying RM240 just to hurt myself. I'm not saying it's bad. Surprisingly the after feeling was awesome and somewhat refreshing. Ok, maybe for starters like me, I will have to go through hell for the next few classes.

I'm with Priority Fitness and the reason for joining that gym is because...

1) Near my house and it's convenient for me to go after working hours.

2) Price is quite reasonable. Paying RM 240 for 3 months (Corporate Rate). Apparently Dell or Intel employees get a discount. For outsiders, they will need to pay RM280.

3) Less best dressed competition. Go gym must wear super nice, super revealing and super expensive meh? Unless you are rich and have Jessica Alba's hot bod in Deep Blue Sea then ok la.

4) Looks & health reason. I'm not sick. I just want to have Jessica alba's hot bod.

Now I just don't get it how girls can wear makeup to do their workouts. First of all, doesn't it occur to them that working out with makeup causes clog pores? Comes with fake lashes too!Amazing!

Beh Tahan~!

To rise above the little things.

2010-01-07T17:02:00.002+08:00

Love…love…love January! It's the month of my Birthday and a start of a New Year.

A time for receiving...not giving. *evil grins*

Have been getting a lot of free stuffs lately. It's just like Xmas all over again....wahahaha! I receive a total of 5 pairs of earrings for this month. Enough already!!!

With additional icing on the top, I am also getting a:-

FREE Dr. Murad Facial Treatment Voucher worth RM 100.

FREE Estee Lauder Makeover.

FREE movie ticket from Golden Screen Cinema.

Nothing special but at least it’s something. This month is all about pampering and I love it! I am still waiting for more gifts to come. *Hint Hint*

**********

I manage to finally make time for myself considering the fact that I'm doing 2 jobs just to sustain my heavy commitments.

Starting gym today. *At least I'm taking my New Year Resolution seriously*.

In the midst of applying for a housing loan. *Yes I'm getting a house! Unlike some rich lucky bastards / bitches who gets everything from their inheritance.

Settling off someone’s debt. *I will make that bitch’s life miserable if I ever see her again*

With fingers cross, I hope this month doesn’t turn out as bad as my last.

New Year Resolution 2010

2009-12-30T11:43:00.002+08:00

New Year's Day...now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.

Here's my New Year Resolution for 2010:-

Start exercising. Must look fit by mid next year.

Buy up a 4,000 over sq ft. house. I want a garden.

Read more. Helps me think less.

Watch more TV. I've been missing some good stuff.

Procrastinate more. Starting tomorrow.

Take a long ego vacation.

Spend less on unnecessary items. 

Be more imaginative.

Make more money.

Get a hobby. 

To break a world record, now that’s ambitious!

Personal goal: I will take either myself or any of the above seriously.

The Proposal

2009-12-28T17:24:00.001+08:00

Everyone is growing up so fast!!! Most of the people that I know are getting ENGAGE!!!

*Stress*

Anyway, It did cross my mind when it comes down to the topic of tying the knot. Some people that I know of unfortunately are in a rush to get married or at least I think they are. In a desperation to get married is either two things that comes to mind:- "Moving towards something or away from something? For instance, some people get married so they can move away from home, not necessarily towards their spouse. A simpler way to ask this question might be: Are you moving towards being married or away from being single?" - Dr. Phil.

I think in this case for a certain somebody, can't wait to settle down due to past experience. Just a thought.

Take this example for instance:-

Guy (R) who has been dating Girl (S) for 2 years could not see a future, could not commit, not sure if he really loves her...well basically not sure about what he wants la. Therefore leads to a break up. R refuses to completely let go and still giving S lots of attention and wanting to do what most couples would usually do (but only as "friends") until S decides to end it for good because this entire relationship / friendship thing to her was not going anywhere (stagnant for a month) and R still could not make up his damn mind. A few days later he crawls back seeking for a second chance but what are the odds of him being able to change from someone who cannot commit to someone who can after lots of pressure and in a short period of time? If a person really loves you he/she wouldn't take months or days to think it through. For God sakes, 2 years in a relationship and the guy still cannot commit. Isn't this whole entire relationship a complete lie? Not to say he's very young also! Therefore, S rejects him and moves on with her life.

R, a guy who doesn't know what he wants got himself into a new relationship with Girl (T) and suddenly *Pooof* in less than 6 months (around there) he announces that he's engage. Surprising? Hmmmm...maybe R has finally found what he has been looking for which he just couldn't see in S.....

Or

.....could it be that since he was not able to get back with S, he's trying to proof to her that he could finally commit and settle down and make S regret for not giving him a chance? If so, I sincerely do feel sorry for T.

What I'm trying to say is that, you can't determine if somebody is good for you if you don't know your own needs! It's not selfish to have goals within a relationship.

This I believe can be a very debatable issue.

I have thought about it. I do admit that I am keen to tie the knot. It's just a matter of - When that right time would be? Is our relationship strong enough? Is my significant other ready to take the next step? Can he afford to support me? Is he the one I can spend the rest of my life with?...etc. There are no endings to these questions. Can't deny the fact that it's every girl's dream to someday be married to her prince charming and live happily ever after.

In all honesty, I'm glad to have found someone who can see the future with me. Who accepts and appreciates me for who I am. How will I know if he's the one? In the sense, I just do. It's hard to explain. Just knowing it comes from time spent contemplating our similarities, our differences and how well we just fit together.

I keep telling myself to update my lifeless blog but then I tend to slack off...get lazy...and completely forget about it till I have the mood to blog again. Not like anyone is going to read it anyway.

Blah!!!

Looking back on my previous posts (since Oct 2004 – April 2009), I can’t help but scoff at the stupidity and immaturity of it all. I was damn emo lor! Nevermind, screw that...moving on.

Xmas came early for me this year...how exciting!!!

Early December, I attended Dell's HR Annual Dinner and I was lucky to have won 4th place in the lucky draw contest.

TADAAAH!!! >>>>>Core Collection : Menthol Tone

Damn lucky lor!!!

Next was the exchanging of gifts...and I got a Body Shop Christmas Pack consisting of a Neroli Jasmin Shower Gel, Body Lotion which smells freakin' awesome and a White Musk Eau De Toilette sample from a colleague, Ivy.

...and the bf had to spoil me by getting me these sexy shoes for Xmas. They are from NOSE by the way. *Drools*

I AM SO IN LURVEEEE with the shoes!!!

Jasmon's Aunt from Canada came down for a visit and it was nice of her to get me something. Packaging damn chun sial!

Now...for the Finale.....

The Best / Ultimate Xmas present would definitely be this:-

Jasmon!

He's the best thing that's ever happen to me ok!!!!!

To end this post, Year 2009 wasn't so bad after all. I guess what I've always wanted in life is FINALLY taking it's toll for the better. Wait a minute! I'm LIVING IT ALREADY!

Wishing All A Merry Christmas &

A Happy New Year!!!!!

L-O-V-E ?

2009-03-24T00:20:00.001+08:00

So many unexpected things came crashing down in the month of February and March. It all happened so fast, I did not see it coming. This year is really one of the worst...things just keeps getting "better".

They say as you get older, so will your experiences. Everything around you will seem clearer somehow and I believe I've come to a point where I am starting to see things differently.

I've been questioned many times about life and love. Seriously...does anyone know what love is?

Relationships are like a minefield, one that we willingly and happily try to cross. We think that we’ll make it over to the other side unscathed, but more often than not, we end up being blown to bits. We have all gone through it; from crushes, to fling, to full-blown whirlwind romances. Whether it is with a soul mate, a friend, or someone you can never ever have. All with the common aim of finding ‘the one’ for us. Some do... But how many? Are the rewards worth the casualties?

What is our motivation? What drives us to behave the way we do, to give in to primal instinct, throw out all reason and dive head first into the abyss we call “love”? “Love” is something that has withstood the test of time, but that has come with a cost. Its meaning has been twisted, redefined, and misinterpreted through the ages. Now, we live in an age where the word “love” means something entirely different from what it did back when it was first coined.

We dream of a life like what we see in the movies, where boy meets girl and they end up in a mind-boggling struggle against all odds but come out victorious, living happily ever after. How realistic is that?

In real life, “love” comes down to two people. It is a connection. It is bittersweet. It is said that when you love someone, you love them for their faults. You do not change them, nor do you accept their changes; you are meant to change WITH them. However, when we think about it, just how far can we ever go to make a relationship work? Just how much can a person bend over backwards?

All these are questions that have been left unanswered. In all likelihood, they will remain that way until the end of time. Perhaps it is for the best.

Sent From Heaven

2009-02-27T16:20:00.002+08:00

Sent from heaven.
Sent from heaven.

Now you can wait your whole life wondering
When it's gonna come or where it's been.
You may have got your heart broken
A few times in the past
Never last as strong as it used to,
You don't feel as good as it used to (before)
And all the things you used to say,
Things you used to do, went right out the door

Ooo no more, will you be the one
That's what you tell everyone around you
But you know they've heard it all before
What more can you say
When love won't let you, walk away
And you can't help who you love
And you find yourself giving it away
When you think you're in love ooo cuz

[Chorus:]
I wanna be the one who you believe
In your heart is sent from (sent from heaven)
There's a piece of me who leaves when you gone
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)
I wanna be the one who you believe
In your hear is sent from (sent from heaven)
There's a piece of me who leaves when you gone
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)

Now you can wait your whole life tryna change
What the fear from what it's been
You may have put your whole life into a man
Loving what you thought it could've been.
No and that's when you change
And you don't feel as good as you used to (before)
And everything you used to say,
Everything you used to do went right out the door

Ooo no more, will you be the one
That's what you tell everyone around you
But you know they've heard it all before
What more can you say
When love won't let you, walk away
And it can't help who it loves
And you find yourself giving it away
When you think you're in love

[Chorus:]
I wanna be the one who you believe
In your heart is sent from (sent from heaven)
There's a piece of me who leaves when you gone
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)
I wanna be the one who you believe
In your hear is sent from (sent from heaven)
There's a piece of me who leaves when you gone
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)

Everybody say
I wanna be the one you love

There's a piece of me who leaves when you gone
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)

I wanna be the one who you believe
In your heart is sent from (sent from heaven)
There's a piece of me who leaves when you gone
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)

It's so good to be home, even just for a day. My drip came off today and it's such a relieve but sad to say my left hand swelled up. Must be the amount of liquid which was pumped into me and the same position I had left my hands to rest. Had another blood test again this morning. Gosh...I am seeing holes in my skin, 2 on my right arm and 1 on my left...the horror!!

I (HATE x100) Needles!!!

Docter has decided to give me a home leave for just today so I can go back and have my reunion dinner with the family. At least now I dun have to feel so damn emo. Still have to go back and get admitted again tomorrow (26th Jan 2009) into my 'hotel' room (No.525) which is actually a maternity ward. Don't get me wrong, I'm not pregnant...just having dengue. Long story on why they had to put me there. Anyway, I have not yet been officially discharge as I still am having fever and my blood palette is still low.

Sucks to know that something so small can be so deadly. It's been 5 days and I'm still sick! :(

I guess I'll end it here and go get some rest. Of coz not forgetting.....

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!!!
and may this year bring you health & wealth!

I got Dengue as a gift for my 23rd Birthday!

2009-01-24T11:30:00.001+08:00

No serious....it's true!

I thought 2009 will be good!!!!! *Whines*

To recap the month of January...

- All I did was go to work like any ordinary being would do. Lepak after work if I know there's nothing at home...n that's it. Dull life...but i'm getting a hand of it.

(20th January 2009)
- Same routine...but better yet, my collegues took me out for Thai Food at Golden Triangle as an early bday treat...trust me, the food was awesome!!!

(21st January 2009)*Birthday*
1st Day - Woken up with a spilting headache...no words can describe how intense it was. Went to a clinic, got the typical medicine for Fever, Flu, Sorethroat & Cough. Being a good girl that I am...I stayed home. :P

(22nd January 2009)
2nd Day - A repeat from the first day. Suffering in bed.

(23rd January 2009)
3rd Day - Woke up at 4am with yet another spilting headache. This time the pain was unbearable. Had to be rushed to Gleneagles Hospital as the fever just couldn't subside. I had to be checked in for observations. Then comes the part I hate the most...having a needle stuck in your vein (drips). Around 9 something am, I got the doctor telling me I'm positive for dengue. Great...my 23rd birthday and I got dengue as a gift. Just plain sad!

(24th January 2009)
Needle in my vein isn't helping. Had my blood test taken for result testing. RESULT:- Still the same from yesterday! *Breaks down in tears* Nurse gave me a menu to choose what I want for lunch and dinner. A) Western Cuisine, B) Chinese Cuisine *it also says shark fins soup in the menu* lol, C) Malay Dish. Guess what I chose? WESTERN! *sigh* I'm just consoling myself knowing the fact I've to stay another day. :(

Can't believe I typed all that out with one hand, you've no idea how long that took me. Just ignore any grammatical errors, can't be bothered. Hope tomorrow brings good news for me.

HellllooOOOoooo 2009!

My blog has been put aside once again...as usual. So many things on my mind but somehow I can't seem to put them down in words. Some of them are pretty sensitive topics which I'm not gonna start on. Knowing the fact that when a topic/issue gets interesting...feelings get hurt, people get mad, so on so forth. Owh well.....some things are just not meant to be said.

It's the Xmas month again. At least this month I'm not spending my Xmas eve alone in a foreign land like how I did last year. :) Sure is good to be home!

Seriously I have no idea on what to blog about so I'm just gonna post up some pictures which I took over the weekends. As they all say, pictures are worth a thousand words.

The movie has its moments...

2008-12-01T14:29:00.003+08:00

Alright, so maybe Robert Pattinson isn't the best looking guy in the world but I've to admit he looks pretty hot acting in the movie Twilight. Better yet, him playing a mysterious vampire definitely caught my attention.

I would rate it an overall 7/10. The ending itself was rather disappointing...does not put me in an anticipating mood for the next 3. I hope that Twilight will be able to make up for its shortcomings in the next movies.

Sadly it's just a fictional thing...but I do wish my guy has Edward Cullen's characteristics.....I'm sure it would be very exciting. Don't mind the hallucination.

If I Were A Boy...

2008-11-18T21:45:00.004+08:00

If I were a boy
even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
and throw on what I wanted and go

Drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
and I'd never get confronted for it
cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
so they'd think that I was sleeping alone

I'd put myself first
and make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she'll be faithful,
waiting for me to come home, to come home.

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake,
think i'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
you thought wrong

But you're just a boy
You don't understand
and you don't understand, ohhhh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

.....but you're just a boy.....

For dinner, we've decided to explore a new place hidden in the heart of Georgetown. I believe it's been there for quite awhile but i've never heard of it till today. This place definitely score when it comes down to their interior...it's simply breathtaking...*For me at least...*

As for the food, I think it's alright...nothing that special...*That's my honest opinion*.

Emo-ness

2008-11-06T13:00:00.003+08:00

For the past few days, I've been feeling depress. What I've done was really childish and that sort of behavior caused me to lose something valuable in my life.

At this point of time, I won't know if things will go back to the way it was. I guess time will tell, as for now, I'll just wait.....

*Sighs*

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between an EXCUSE & a REASON?

2008-10-31T13:30:00.003+08:00

A search on Wikipedia:-

Reason involves the ability to think, understand and draw conclusions in an abstract way, as in human thinking.

An Excuse relates to the status or capacity (or lack of it) in the accused.

When your boss ask you a question like "WHY ARE YOU LATE? I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR EXCUSES!"

How would you respond to that? I'm sure you would give a reason or at least a valid one but wouldn't a reason still be an excuse?

Question + Reason = Excuse
Question + Excuse = Excuse

I would really like an explanation on this. :)

Racial Politics & Brain Drain

2008-10-30T13:12:00.004+08:00

Cartoon from the Economist

The most important asset of a country is not its natural resources, but rather human resources. This is especially true in a knowledge based economy, which of course will be the trend in future if not already the trend in most of the western countries.

About a year ago, in one of the articles in Reuters, this was reported:

Malaysia is counting on bright, ambitious people like Tan Chye Ling for its future, to lead it away from manufacturing and into the knowledge age. But the 32-year-old scientist, a post-graduate in molecular biology, is not counting on Malaysia to look after her future.

'I felt very suppressed in Malaysia ,' said Tan, who moved to neighbouring Singapore , the region's pace-setter for biotech investment, after a decade of study and research in Malaysia .
'I have benefited from the better research environment and salary scheme here. Things are much smoother,' she said by phone from the National University of Singapore where she is studying dust mites and allergies.

Tan estimates that 60 percent of the research teams she works with in Singapore are from Malaysia, despite her country's efforts over several years to develop a biotech industry.

The Malaysian government unveiled plans last March to spend $553.3 million over five years to boost research, attract foreign investment and build new facilities. But its efforts are wasted unless it can retain more talented people like Tan.

'By the time we have the research environment in place, every other country would have taken a slice of the biotech investment pie,' said Iskandar Mizal, head of the state-run Malaysian Biotech Corporation which oversees the government's strategy.

There is a serious problem facing Malaysia and that is the problem of Brain Drain.

Why are Malaysians overseas not coming back to work?

Well, pay may be part of the reasons but is not the main reason. Singapore recruitment team offered Malaysian students there a salary which is a few times they would expect to get in Malaysia….S$40,000 a yr for houseman after tax (equivalent to RM86000) which is about 5 times the pay of a houseman in Malaysia. But, as I say, pay is not the main problem. The living expenses overseas is higher. And for a person working overseas, the loneliness and the stress level is also much higher. So not everyone opts to work overseas because of pay.

Many would not mind to work for lesser pay if they can stay near to their loved ones.

Why do people choose to work overseas, away from their loved ones ?

Malaysia has many state-of-the-art hospitals and research centres, which may even be the envy of many overseas countries. But hardware alone would not attract these experts to come home. In the medical fields, I have so many friends /classmates working overseas, many in world renowned centres. Why do they do that?

Some of my classmates and friends did come back as specialists. After working a few years ( many lasted a few months) , most get disillusioned and went off. There is really not much prospect of career advancement. How many can hope to become a professor, even when they are an acknowledged expert in their field?

On the other hand , lesser beings are being promoted to professorship for doing much less.
How many of them can have any say about how things are to be run? How many of them can blend into the local team where the work attitude is vastly different from that overseas?

There is an unwritten rule that even if the person is very good, the head of the team has to be someone from a certain ethnic group who may not even be half as good as him.

In everyday life, some become disillusioned with the corruption, the red tape and the tidak apa attitude of the officialdom.

For an overseas doctor applying to work home, the application can take up to 6 months
to get approved, whereas, Singapore sends teams overseas to recruit them on the spot, giving them forms to fill and offering them jobs immediately as long as they pass their final examination. See the difference?

It is the sense of being wanted and being appreciated that make these people stay overseas.
Back here, they are often made to feel that they are of a lower class; they do not feel wanted and they do not feel appreciated…. That is the main reason.

For those with children , the education system puts them off. Even school children can feel being discriminated, one glaring example is the 2 systems in Pre University education. All these make them pack their bags and off they go again, leaving behind their parents perhaps, siblings,friends they grew up together, favouite food that is often not available overseas. No one likes to be like this; circumstances and a sense of being recognised for their worth make them go away…It is really sad.

Parents spend huge amount of money educating them, but the ones who benefit are the so Singaporeans, the Americans, the Australians, the British and on. As long as race politics is not done away with, this problem of brain drain will continue and Malaysia will always lack behind the advanced countries, no matter how many twin towers and Putrajayas we build.

A surprise entry...for me at least...

2008-10-24T13:00:00.006+08:00

Waking up every morning is a pain in the ass knowing the fact it's just another day of work. Repeating the same ol' routine every single day never fail to make me weary. Anyway, last night in short, was just horrible and I do not plan to dwell on it any further.

As usual, my day started off boring until I receive a msg in MSN from a certain someone.

Him: Hi, still remember me?
Me: Sorry, you'll have to refresh my memory.
Him: Son of Andrea
Me: OMG! JEREMY?
Him: Yup
Me: How did you get my msn?
Him: Idk...but i've seen you quite often.
Me: I couldn't recognize you at all.
Him: I've changed :)

You should have seen the smile on my face. He totally made my day! My dearest cousin from my Mum's side which I've never met before in person nor have I ever kept in touch with till this very day. I've only heard of him thru mum and that is all. Plus, I do not know how he ended up on my msn list.

I introduce you to....

Jeremy Codere from Canada

At this very moment, we're catching up on what we've missed. The only thing i have of him was a baby picture which my mum brought back from her visit to Canada. The way he communicates online, it proves to me that he's matured and i repeat...VERY matured for his age unlike most guys that i know. *No offence but it's TRUE!* and for his age, he's 6 feet tall...seriously unbelievable!

I so can't wait to see him when he comes down to Malaysia, hopefully next year. Our very first meeting in person. *Very drama...I know*

Finally something for me to blog about. :)

City Trip

2008-10-12T23:00:00.002+08:00

KL was such a drag! It wasn't the way I expect to enjoy my short break.

Owh well...but I did have a chance to do what i'm suppose to do. Visit ol' frens! Yes...some have changed alot over the years, some...haven't.

Glad to have a certain french guy who accompanied me a lot during my time in KL. :P *Grins* Thankiu~!

.....

Anyway, I need a freaking make over for my hair...gawd it's getting out of shape~! I feel so slack-eh. Random I know....BAH!

My Underwater World Experience!

2008-10-07T00:40:00.007+08:00

I just had the most exhilirating day EVER! Having to try out scuba diving for the first time is just awesome. The feeling is definitely indescribable!

My heart started to beat real fast when I got strapped into those gears. You've no idea how blady heavy that tank was when i had to carry it on my back from the store to the water edge. The thought of drowing actually did struck me but owh well, I knew I was in safe hands.

My first breath underwater thru the diving regulator is just one hell of an experience. I was taught some of the basics like the water entry technique, clearing the mask, etc.

It's a sad thing that most of us do not know how the whole thing is done or how it works until we try it out for ourselves to experience it first hand. Imagine what an adventure it could be. Who knows, maybe most of us may have the hidden interest in scuba diving.

I love to try something new and this is definitely one of them. It is also a good way of allowing myself to grow as an individual.

I am really excited about it! :) Sadly I forgot all about the camwhoring...I was having a time of my life. *Grins* Maybe next time! :)

PS: Just so you know, I'm not in that picture. I googled it up. That is exactly what I did during my dive.

I'm happy.....period

2008-10-04T01:00:00.001+08:00

Everything in my life seem to be coming together and I do wish that it will stay like this forever. *Let's not jinx it shall we* :)

Now that Raya is here, I'm finally at ease. It's amazing how I got thru those 2 months of hell. At least for now, no more work stress to worry about (other than the fact that I still have to check my work mail). My 1 week leave has been approved...and I will be heading down to KL for a lil visit soon.

J has finally settled down with a good stable job with the help of M. You've no idea how that makes me feel! I am so proud of J!!! *Muax* No more once a week excuses di! :P

I guess that's all for now, it's late and my eye lids are getting heavy.

Signing off!

*Smiles*

20 Superfoods for weight loss...

2008-09-15T15:38:00.001+08:00

It's time for a new slim-down mantra: Eat more to weigh less. No joke! The right foods help you drop pounds by revving your calorie burn and curbing cravings. We consulted top experts for the best picks and asked leading chefs for easy, tasty ways to prepare them. Add these eats to your plate today and you'll be slimmer and healthier in no time!

By Camille Noe Pagán

Quinoa
Curbing hunger is as easy as piling your plate with this whole grain. It packs both fiber (2.6 grams per 1/2 cup) and protein, a stellar nutrient combo that can keep you satisfied for hours, says chef Sarah Krieger, R.D., spokeswoman in St. Petersburg, Florida, for the American Dietetic Association.

Eat more - Serve quinoa instead of rice with stir-fries, or try Krieger's take on a scrumptious hot breakfast: Cook 1/2 cup quinoa in 2/3 cup water and 1/3 cup orange juice for 15 minutes. Top with 1 tbsp each of raisins and chopped walnut.

Steak
Beef has a rep as a diet buster, but eating it may help you peel off pounds. In a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, women on a diet that included red meat lost more weight than those eating equal calories but little beef. "The protein in steak helps you retain muscle mass during weight loss," says study author Manny Noakes, Ph.D. Try to consume local organic beef; it's healthier for you and the environment.

Eat more - Grill or broil a 4-ounce serving of top round or sirloin; slice thinly to top a salad, or mix with veggies for fajitas.

Eggs
Dig in to eggs, yolks and all: They won't harm your heart, but they can help you trim inches. Women on a low-calorie diet who ate an egg with toast and jelly each morning lost twice as many pounds as those who had a bagel breakfast with the same number of calories but no eggs, a study from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge reports. "Egg protein is filling, so you eat less later in the day," says David Grotto, R.D., author of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life (Bantam).

Eat more - Omelets and scrambles are obvious choices, but if you can't cook before work, bake a frittata on Sunday; chill it and nuke slices for up to a week. An easy recipe: Vegetable Frittata.

Kale
Long sidelined as a lowly garnish, this green belongs center stage on your plate. One raw chopped cup contains 34 calories and about 1.3 grams of fiber, as well as a hearty helping of iron and calcium. But kale's earthy flavor might take some getting used to. Spinach, another nutrient powerhouse, is a milder-tasting option.

Eat more - Mix chopped raw kale into cooked black beans, says Jennifer Iserloh, founder of Skinny Chef Culinary Ventures, in New York City. Or slice kale into thin strips, sauté it with vegetable broth and top with orange slices. Make it a meal by tossing the mix with quinoa.

Goji berries
These chewy, tart berries have a hunger-curbing edge over other fruit: 18 amino acids, which make them a surprising source of protein, Krieger says. (They also have more beta-carotene than carrots.) Snack on them midafternoon to stay satisfied until dinner. The calorie cost? Only 35 per tablespoon.

Eat more - Mix 1/4 cup of the dried berries (from health food stores) with 1/4 cup raisins and 1/4 cup walnuts for a nourishing trail mix. Or for dessert, pour 1/4 cup boiling water into a bowl with 2 tbsp dried berries; let sit 10 minutes. Drain, then spoon over 1/2 cup lowfat vanilla frozen yogurt.

Buckwheat pasta
Swap plain noodles for this hearty variety; you'll slip into your skinny jeans in no time. "Buckwheat is high in fiber and, unlike most carbs, contains protein," Zuckerbrot says. "Those two nutrients make it very satiating, so it's harder to overeat buckwheat pasta than the regular stuff."

Eat more - Cook this pasta as you do rice: Simmer it, covered, over low heat. For a light meal, toss cooked buckwheat pasta with broccoli, carrots, mushrooms and onions. Or make buckwheat crepes using our tasty recipe.

Almond butter
Adding this spread may lower bread's glycemic index (a measure of a food's effect on blood sugar). A study from the University of Toronto found that people who ate almonds with white bread didn't experience the same blood sugar surges as those who ate only the slice. "The higher blood sugar levels rise, the lower they fall; that dip leads to hunger, causing people to overeat," says study author Cyril Kendall, Ph.D. "Furthermore, blood sugar changes cause the body to make insulin, which can increase abdominal fat."

Eat more - Try it for a change from peanut butter in sandwiches, or make a veggie dip: Mix 1 tbsp almond butter with 2 tbsp fat-free plain yogurt, Iserloh suggests. Or add a dollop to oatmeal for flavor and protein.

Pomegranates
The juice gets all the hype for being healthy, but pomegranate seeds deserve their own spotlight. In addition to being loaded with folate and disease-fighting antioxidants, they're low in calories and high in fiber, so they satisfy your sweet tooth without blowing your diet, Krieger says.

Eat more - Pop the raw seeds on their own (many grocery stores sell them preshucked) as a snack at your desk. "Use them in salads instead of nuts," Iserloh says. "They're especially delicious on raw baby spinach with lemon–poppy seed dressing." For another take on the seeds, use our easy recipe for sweet and spicy pomegranate salsa.

Grr~!Working life is a bitch!

Owh well...not gonna bore you about work issues. I've other things to bitch and brag about...

"I feel like a little girl

Trying to conquer the whole wide world

Everybody wants a piece of me

And I just don't know where to turn

I've got work piled up to my head

All I want to do is jump into bed

And wash away my troubles...with lemonade

Play hide and seek with the boy next door

Take a trip to Singapore and

Imagine how I'll make the world...a better place."

Catching Up Moments

2008-07-23T00:35:00.002+08:00

Wanted to get this posted up weeks ago but I didn't have the time...as usual, my busy schedual got me all hooked up.

Meeting up with Bel really got me mising those times when I was in KL. Got a chance to catch up with her over coffee when she was in Penang (early this month). How sad is it? Graduation was the last time I ever got to hang out with my Uni friends...that was 6 months ago.

Everyone there keeps telling me to get my ass down to KL. It's not like I don't want to. I just couldn't find the right time. I know, I'm full of excuses...at least a reasonable one.

*Frowns*

Owh well...everyone's working now, all in their own individual fields. I'm pretty sure they will have the same excuse.

Unexpected Romance

2008-07-22T18:00:00.004+08:00

I was indeed taken by surprise when these "Lovelies" came in to my office today...

*Big Smiles* Pure Bliss.....It feels like Spring!!!!! :)

The delivery man was actually standing outside the office with the bouquet and I tot what the heck, could be the wrong address. That's when a colleague pointed towards me and yes...I was dumb struck.

He really made my day. It sure is one hell of an unexpected surprise and to think, it's only our monthly anniversary.

Anyways, being the cam-whore that I am, obviously I rushed back home after work just to have my pictures taken with my "Lovelies".

THANK YOU JRF !!!!!

This picture of me was taken standing. The size of the bouquet is almost as big as me. (And yes...I'm proud to show it off) :P

Happy Monthly Anniversary !!!!!

I LOVE YOU !!!!!

Six Dating Behaviors That Scare Single Men Away

2008-07-16T12:36:00.003+08:00

You're dating a guy, and it's the crucial first few weeks. You really like this guy, and you're wondering what you can do (or avoid doing) to keep this relationship going and not scare him away.

The truth is there are certain things that women can do that will scare men away. Don't sabotage a potentially great relationship that could have gone somewhere by scaring a man off right at the beginning.

Here are six dating behaviors guaranteed to scare men off that all women should avoid:

1. Trash-talking your ex. Don't talk negatively about an ex-boyfriend in front of a guy you're dating. I don't care if you're on your first date or on your 15th date with a guy, don't ever trash-talk your ex. Your ex is somebody you dated, invited into your life, and with whom you spent a lot of time. So don't talk negatively about your ex in any way, because what a guy thinks when you do this is that if he ever becomes your ex that you're going to trash-talk him the same way. So, when a man asks you about your ex, you can politely say, "We are no longer together. It was a great relationship while it lasted, and I learned a lot." That's it.

2. Paranoia Runs Rampant. Here you are dating a man you really like, and the first couple of weeks are going well. Then, that first boys' night out happens. In the beginning, you send him a text that says, "Have a great time tonight!" As the night progresses, however, seeds of doubt start forming in your mind about what he's doing, and you start to think "Is he cheating on me? Is he flirting with other women? Where is he right now?" So then, you lob another text in to him asking "What's going on? What are you doing right now?" Even though he tells you he's just hanging out with his friends, you proceed to make a major blunder: You start checking up on him with continuous texts throughout the night. This paranoia will push a man away. You start checking up on him with continuous texts throughout the night. This paranoia will push a man away. So when you are dating a man and he's out with his friends, respect his "guy time". It will make you the cool woman he's always wanted to find.

3. Trash-talking other women. A huge mistake many women make is trash-talking other women in front of the man they're dating. For example, you are out with him when a woman walks by wearing a skimpy short skirt. You say, "Look how promiscuous that woman looks! I can't believe she is going around in public like that!" What you are doing when you make comments like this to a guy you're dating is telling him that you're not confident in the way you look. It tells him that you don't love who you are and haven't embraced your own body. You are planting a seed of doubt in him, causing him to wonder if he he should date someone else who is more confident (and tolerant). Don't trash-talk other women. It makes you look really insecure.

4. Fishing for compliments. This is something that can drive a man crazy. Here is a typical scenario: The guy you're dating looks at you and says, "You really look beautiful tonight!" Ten minutes later, you look at him and ask, "How do I look tonight?" Stop fishing for compliments. Real compliments come from the heart. Allow them to compliment you when they really mean it. If they don't give a compliment at the exact moment you desire it, just accept it and be OK with that.

5. Clingy and possessive. You don't need to do everything together. You're still getting to know him. If there are things he likes to do that simply don't interest you, be cool with it. You don't have to be joined at the hip. If you are going to a cocktail party together, you don't have to be next to him at every moment. If you see him speaking with some woman at the party, do not immediately run over and start grabbing his hand and giving him a big hug and certainly don't do this all night long. You are being clingy and possessive when you do this.

6. Pushing friends on him. Avoid pushing friends on us too soon. Example: A woman will hang out with a guy on the first or second date and say to him, "You have to meet my friends Jenna and Amy. You also have to meet my friends Phil and Anne; they're such a great couple, and you'll love them!" A man hears this and thinks, "I don't even know you yet. Can I get to know you for a month or two before I have to go meet all of your friends and be put on display as 'the boyfriend?'" They don't want to be "the boyfriend" right away. It's too much pressure. They want to get to know you slowly and learn what you're all about. Believe me, once they get to know you and like you, they will be more willing to get to know all of your friends.

Following these tips will help you get past the first month of a new relationship with a man and avoid some of the major pitfalls that can end a new relationship before it even starts. Be the confident woman you really are so we have a chance to embrace you. Don't scare us off before we have a chance to get to know you!

Future Predictions

2008-07-07T20:30:00.001+08:00

Don't know how true this is but there are it's possibilities. Read On!

Mr. Juseleeno, born in 1960(reportedly still alive in 2008), is a Brazilian who has made many predictions, and MOST have come to pass, including Princess Diana’s death by car accident (which is instigated by someone near her and will probably unfortunately be written off as a car accident), 911 and the 2004 Indonesian tsunami.

He sees the future in his dreams, and has an average of 3 to 9 such predictions per day. When he wakes up, he will write them down, and send warnings to those concerned. If it concerns only a normal individual, he will write a letter to warn him/her. If it is a famous person(celebrity, politician etc.), or matters concerning the public, he will not only send it to the individual himself/herself, but also related agencies, government, and media. He urged the media to publicise these predictions, but the reply always went along the lines of rejection for fear of arousing public panic.

Future predictions:

2008, July: There will be an earthquake in Japan, which will cause a tsunami of 30 plus metres high to occur as well.

2008, 18th September: An earthquake with magnitude of approximately 9.1 will rock China , simultaneously causing a tsunami of more than 30 metres to occur, resulting in the deaths of more than 1 million people. Although this huge earthquake will happen after the Olympics have ended, there will be a series of relatively smaller earthquakes occurring in China before the huge earthquake. The China government, which is more concerned with the success of the Olympics, will most likely neglect to employ appropriate cautionary measures, thus the high casualty rate. If the China government does not publicise the occurrence of these minor earthquakes and evacuate people, the number of deaths will be as predicted. [China over populated di...maybe mother nature is trying to ged rid of some?]

2008, 17th December: terrorist attack in America

2010: The temperatures in some countries of Africa could be as high as 58 degrees Celsius, and there will be a serious shortage of water.

2010, 15th June: The New York Stock Exchange market will fail, causing an international financial crisis.

2011: The research on the treatment of some cancers will be completed, but a new life-threatening virus will appear. People who are infected will die after only approx. 4 hours of coming into contact with the virus.

2013, 1st – 25th November: Research on treatment of cancers, except for brain tumors, will be completed. An earthquake, caused by volcanic eruptions, will happen on Bahama Island of the Canary Islands. A gigantic tsunami of roughly 150 metres will result. America mainlands, Brazil etc. will be affected, with the tsunami pushing into the land as far as 15 to 20 kilometres. Before the occurrence of this gigantic tsunami, the sea/ocean water levels will sink by about 6 metres, and large flocks of birds will start to migrate.

2014: A small planet that has been gradually closing in on Earth might eventually collide with Earth, and this collision, if come to pass, will affect the survival of humans as a whole. [Don't you think will all be dead due to the collision to even experience the year 2015? Well at least we know who the surviver is...George Walker Bush (43rd USA President)]

2015: By the mid of November, the average temperature of Earth could be as high as 59 degrees Celsius. Many people will die from the overheat, and international confusion and terror ensues.

2016, April: A huge typhoon will invade China, causing massive damage. The 43rd USA president, George Walker Bush, will enter the hospital, and faces a life or death situation.

2026, July: A super earthquake will occur in Sans Francisco, and it will be named “The Big One”. Huge damage to surrounding areas. Many volcanoes will re-activate, and the height of resulting tsunami will be more than 150 metres.

Mr. Juseleeno made known his predictions in hopes that people will take heed of his warnings, so that these disasters may be avoided. He hopes there will be a major change in the thinking of people’s mindsets in the time period 2007 – 2008. One factor will be the environmental issue of global warming, which is more serious than what some meteorologists assume.

Food Critic

2008-06-06T18:30:00.002+08:00

I attended a Food Review earlier in Sunway Hotel Georgetown with a collegue (Special Projects Manager) and got the opportunity to meet some big people from the Press as well as Helen Ong, food critic for the Star Newspaper who writes every fortnightly. She's a very outspoken lady and very direct when it comes to food that does not meet her requirements.

She joined our table along with the Director from the Star *I think* and the GM of Sunway Hotel. It felt awkward for me at first since I was like a nobody there. Helen Ong had some mee soup and she just pushed it to one side complaining that the food was flat and she's not gonna spoil her appetite further.

Helen Ong: How's your food? Is it nice?

Joyce: Erm...not too bad. It's alrite for me (I was hungry what do you expect...anything goes!). Since you're a food critic I'm sure your taste and my taste are completely different and your requirements are much higher.

Helen Ong: In short, you're telling me I'm fussy.

Joyce: Pretty much! *Smiles*

Helen Ong: *Laugh out Loud*

After the conversation over lunch we had a gossip session about politics (which I know nothing about). Then came to the part where I was being introduced as the daughter of Mr. George Cheah from the Sun Newspaper and everyone was like: "Hey, It's been ages since I last saw your dad. You're dad and I are really old friends. How is he doing? I've lost contact with him and finally got a chance to meet with his daughter". That's an honour *Grins* They all knew my dad!

It was fun mixing with the big people. They're not as stuck-up as I thought. Being in this line is fun because I get to eat as much as I want for FREE!

OMG! I just reminded myself that I'm fat! *Pai Seh*

Anyway, enough with the cock and bull story, I've posted up some pictures in Multiply. Go feast your eyes on what I've eaten. :)

Let's do a simple calculations here.

2008-06-06T18:15:00.001+08:00

In Malaysia, the average family income is RM3,000 / month (Where father works, mother doesn't). I understand there are many families whose monthly income does not reach RM3,000 but to make things simple, let's take RM3,000 as the figure. Ok lah, right?

Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has Papa, Mama, 1 daugher and 1 son. Ngam-ngam...

Calculations starts.....

Electricity & Water Bill : RM 100 (No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater...ok?)
Phone Bill (Telekom) : RM 100
Meals for a happy family : RM 775 (3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 person...?)
Papa makan / teh-tarik during working hrs : RM 155 (RM5/day, RM 5...can eat what?)
Car Installment: RM 400 (A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs payment)
Petrol (living in a city, traffic-jam) : RM300 (Go to work, bring son to school, only can afford on car running)
Insurance : RM650 (Kids, Wife & Husband)
House payment: RM 750 (Low cost housing payment for 30 years, retired still have to work to pay!)
Tuition : RM80 (Got that cheap meh? I don't think so)
Older children pocket money : RM20 (RM1/day, eat bread?)
School Fees : RM 30 (Enough ar?)
School books & etc. : RM 100 (Always got extra to pay in school)
Younger children's milk powder : RM 50 (Cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive)
Miscellaneous : RM 100 (Shampoo, Rice, Sauce, Toilet Paper...etc)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so......

No Astro
No movie @ Cinema
No DVD
No CD
No going Online
Cannot eat KFC, MCD
Cannot go park for a walk during weekends...petrol expensive
No chit chats on the phone with grandparents, friends, etc....

Now let's use a calculator to total everything up....WALAO EH! Shit! RM3,610 already...

EPF belum potong, Income Tax lagi....oledi RM 3,610....

How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian??? Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle? How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school for studies?

Besides that, I believe in Malaysia's population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM 3,000/month!!!

What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh...SORRY...It should be Malaysians Boleh, because we're still alive and kicking!!! Our politicians must be mad!!!

Please comment boleh or tak boleh? No wonder so many Ah Longs around lah & "Rasuah Too".

PS: Got this e-mail from someone! :P

Who I Am Makes A Difference.

2008-06-05T13:37:00.002+08:00

It's finally in my hands!

2008-06-03T23:30:00.001+08:00

Thank you so much for sharing The Secret! *You know who you are*. It's unbelievably amazing. It has inspire me and got me seeing and thinking things differently now. I will definitely be putting this secret into great use and see what the outcome will be. No harm in giving it a try besides I'm keeping an open mind.

I really love what I saw and I totally enjoyed it. :)

A Guy / Girl's Point of View

2008-06-02T13:45:00.003+08:00

.....on this matter.

If your girlfriend cheats on you (as in sleeping with someone else) and one morning she decides to confess everything. Would you forgive her? Does she deserve a 2nd chance?

You tell me?

For the girls, I would like to know if you would rather keep it to yourself and live with the guilt or to make a confession...let everything out of your chest and see what the outcome will be.

The truth no doubt is a lot harder to accept. But if you are gonna live with your significant other for the rest of your lives. I'm sure you wouldn't want to keep any secrets in between.

PS: It's just a thought and It did not happen to me!!!

Girls like me are...

2008-05-31T11:15:00.003+08:00

..... really high in maintainance .....

These Estee Lauder items already cost me RM830 *Cries*...not to mention the leather shoe from Lewre that I saw... it was love at first sight and that cost me RM299. I was only given a 10% discount and with the cash vouchers that I got from buying Estee, I only pay RM119 for it. *BIG GRINS*

I was extremely happy when I got back home...but the sight of the receipt really haunts me.

Now...I'm extremely broke. Thank goodness it's the end of the month. *PAYCHECK!!!!!* ;P

Life is Precious!

2008-05-30T19:00:00.007+08:00

I woke up this morning from the sounds of my mother's scream. She rushed into my room, with the nervous-ness in her voice, I knew something was wrong. She told me that she couldn't wake daddy up.

I was stone cold and my face went pale. I rushed over to daddy's room. I slapped his face a couple of times...and there was no response. I panicked.

I checked the pulse on his neck and wrist...I didn't felt any. It couldn't be happening.

So I checked again and next thing I knew...he jumped up and hugged me.

.....

It was not funny...that was the worst prank EVER!!!!!

It seriously got me thinking. I tot I've lost him. If anything of that sort happens...I'll definitely regret it for the rest of my life. I have not been spending enough time with him. Life is precious! Do what you have to do before it's too late.

The feeling was indeed horrible!!!!!

Satin Slip

2008-05-29T11:32:00.001+08:00

I got this sexy Paradise Satin Slip from La Senza yesterday as my belated bday gift! Only thing mine was in black and it looks good on me.

Thank you sOoOoOoOoOoo much Jean Louis Sibert! :P

One of the best gift ever! Not to mention the membership + promotions, so worth it!!!!! It totally made my day...*BIG GRINS* and now I get to wear it for my upcoming special occasion. *Sticks out Tongue*

Obviously I made the pick and he did the paying. So no misunderstanding there. He stood outside the shop. ROFL!

I saw this Satin Slip on display as well but it didn't look attractive first hand. Beh Beh thinks it looks very ah lianish. Come to think of it...doesn't look too bad at all la! Maybe i'll consider getting this the next round.

*If only I had a body like hers*....sighs.......

The mind has spoken up...

2008-05-23T13:30:00.002+08:00

I finally had my say, it felt good getting it out of my chest. The fact that I'm getting too comfortable in my own shoes...I'm starting to slack off. Slacking off is one thing....I'm also worned out and it's making me cranky. I'm not signed up to sit behind a desk all day long...now that i've received my confirmation letter in this organization.

I am destined to do something great...something exciting...something different. I want something more interactive and eventful. What can I say, I'm still young and I want to expand my capabilities to the limit. Then again...I am having the insecurities of facing that challenge.

I ask myself this:

Am I capable in handling it?

Am I willing to face the consequences of my own actions?

Am I ready to take risk?

etc.....

And then...I have doubts:

Why can't I be more articulate?

Why do I get tongue tied everytime I speak?

Why can't I be more outspoken?

Why can't I do things myself?

Why do I keep forgetting my points or what I have to say?

Am I not strong enough?

etc.....

(OMG...I want this...I want that....but then I'm scared...)...how can I move forward being like this? *Don't mind me...I do find myself annoying and yes I can be very fickle minded.*

Could it be that I lack confidence?

This is seriously pathetic...4 years in Uni...for God's sake Joyce...what have you learn???!!!

I don't want to be spoon-fed all the time. I keep convincing myself that I am independent...Sure, to a certain extend I am....but deep down...I know I'm still not. I'm not gonna bible to not stay mad at myself. I really do need the push to get me going.

I've decided to take on a new lead. I will take myself to the next level and deal with my frustrations and my fears. Wish me luck...i'll need it.

What I've proposed to the head earlier, with fingers crossed...I hope to get a good respond out of it. It's always a start to speak your mind and hope for the best.

Blast from the past

2008-05-22T22:56:00.002+08:00

I got bored so I started digging....digging for long lost pictures till I found this. It sure does bring back memories.This picture was taken like 4 - 5 years ago. That is how long it has been already. The Uni peers that I'm close with once has now gone their seperate ways. We were so young not to mention naive.

Those were the crazy days! The typical Uni life where partying, clubbing, drinking, pooling, smokin' etc...to us were an addiction...maybe to some. Never had I been in a cheesier situation than this, pardon the pun. But all is well, they are afterall memories to look back and smile at the thought of it.

I miss hanging out with them. Well...Cheers to the old...on with the new! That's what they all say.
