Am I really back here and start posting again?A lot has happen just briefly in a year. Busy with working life and of course freelance and Living Tapestry. I never thought my life would be so drama working in an International ID firm. Made lots of friends and not to mention some enemies as well, I think that is just unavoidable in any situation given. What would be cause? There are just too many possibilities which I wouldn't even bother cracking my head to think about it.
Working in such a big company I thought I would meet some real friends but I guess I was wrong. I wonder why is there still people who wear some kind of invisible glasses to look at you one kind. Just because I'm different? Some seems to be friend but after getting what they really need, you are just out of the picture frame. Some just boss people around and yet does nothing herself.
I guess it's always right to say "You can't make everyone happy", and yet people expect it from others. It's just funny how things work. Working in this new company has opened my eyes to a few kind of people. With this lesson, I am more well equip to protect myself better from getting hurt.
All the best to me in dealing with all these fake people in the office.
There seems to be problem with my blog...I've been trying to blog and keep showing there is an error and I can't seems to solve the error and I can't post some of the materials. Will definitely keep posting whenever I am free.
Been having a very busy schedule lately...it's going to be non-stop right after Chinese New Year. Hope to contact back all the blogger friends...it's been a while that I've stay contact with them.
It has been awhile that I wanted to change my phone and obviously those touch screen phones are the in-thing now. There is the HTC Hero that I wanted lay my hands on them very much and it is definitely love at first sight. I guess probably it is because there were too many people using the iPhone so HTC Hero would be the next best thing.
Just after days of researching and comparing price, it is definitely iPhone is more affordable with the maxis iValue plan and finally make a move to get the phone. But I guess it is a hot selling cake that everyone wants a piece of it and now I will have to wait 45 to 60 days for my phone to arrive. I guess this time I can use my favourite phrase "waiting is a long and painful process" can't wait to lay my hands on it. Here is a link where you can see the comparison of both phones.
Is really being ignorance blissful? I guess it really depend on the situations, I have seen too many ignorant people around and it has cause trouble.
I wonder do you actually go Ikea often like me as I use to work at Ikano Power Center so I am there almost everyday but when it comes to weekend you get to see those irritating ignorant people walking around holding a "yellow" Ikea catalogue. The reason for the Ikea catalogue being yellow it is because it has this yellow cover printed
"USE THIS CATALOGUE WHILE YOU SHOP
IT'S FULL OF INFORMATION AND INSPIRATION
PLEASE RETURN IT
TO THE CHECK-OUT COUNTER AS YOU LEAVE
This was printed in CAP and yet people can just be so ignore it, the best part is "PLEASE RETURN IT" not only in CAP but in BOLD form. I still see people walking around in the shopping mall proudly flashing it. All I can say "YOU THIEF!!!". There is another counter set up outside for you to claim you very own catalogue with a nice beautiful cover to it, not "yellow" and "big fonts" on it.
Another classic case, could only found in Putra LRT where I am using it as my daily transport to work and occasionally during weekend to meet my friends. Did you notice there are difference been the red seat chair and the grey seat chair? When you notice it please look slightly above the eye level and notice a sticker on the glass window with image and words that says, these seat are for the disable, veteran and pregnant woman. Of course, if there is no such people appearing you can have the seat all to yourself but when such people do appear, please leave the seat for the people who truly need it. But then again, people are ignorant.
In another case, in the Putra LRT too, eating and drinking are obviously prohibited and yet there are some people nicely eating all the way. I really solute these people for being soooooo ignorant.
she's nicely seating on the chair for the "special" and nicely having her food. how nice :)
Just a simple survey to see the outcome whether we are observant enough.
It's really been awhile I have blogged. Ever since I started my new job in Denniston, an international company I'm totally exhausted after work as most of the time I will be working overtime. I just can't complain much as I have been jobless for a year, when a job comes I better zip up and just work.
I'll definitely do something about my blog soon as I already have a few things in mind just that I don't really have enough time for myself to really sit down to blog about it. Very soon as I miss blogging and miss all my blogger friends, miss visiting their blogs and reading their blogs. I will be back very soon, wait for me and don't forget about me.
Miss everyone from the blogging world!!!
p/s I don't have internet access at my new work place, can you imagine how bored I would be without the internet!
Having great time taking pictures for Living Tapestry coming promotion and seems like my cat want some action too...
Stay tune for more information on Living Tapestry promotion for this coming Christmas...which is very soon.
all the happy memories just flashes back but now.....
Time passes,
We changes.
Happy memories,
Distance away.
A night to remember,
How a couple ties the knot.
Yet a night to remember
How we've fallen apart.
From stranger to friends,
from friends to foes.
Who is the angel?
And who is the devil?
Nobody knows
Between you and I
You know
I know
You play me out,
You broke me down.
Now you see me,
You better move out.
(kenong)
Working in a retail shop you get to meet all kinds of people; rich and famous, rich but not so famous, famous but not that rich anyhow you put it. And after awhile you can really tell who are serious buyers, who are not and you call tell whether they are well educated or they are not, but I'm sure some educated ones act like hooligans too.
Just recently I got a shock of my life, when I found out the customer I was serving is Datuk, (surname better not mention la, after loose face). He came into the shop like any other shoppers looking around and were interested in the triangle cushions we are selling. The normal price of the triangle cushion was RM199 and now, we are selling at RM149 so it is consider a big mark down.
Man (Datuk): How much is the triangle cushion?
Me: It is RM149, use to sell at RM199.
Man (Datuk): If I get a lot do I get discount?
Me: Sorry sir, no discount already very cheap.
(Just across my lady boss were serving a customer at the counter)
Man (Datuk): Are you the boss or she is the boss?
Me: Whether I'm the boss or she's the boss, it's still the same no discount.
Man (Datuk): Then how about free gift?
Me: NO.
The man was not that happy but still getting one of the triangle cushion. He walks to the cashier to pay and I went to get a trolley for him to take the cushion. When I went back the shop my lady boss were talking to him so I stand at the entrance with my colleague and chat, or should I say bitch about this 'man'. As we were bitching, I heard my lady boss conversation with this man and he is a Datuk for some big organisation. Deep in my heart was like "What!!! A Datuk asking discount over best buy and ask for free gifts?"
From this, I can seriously conclude that he is a typical "cina pek" Datuk. We have so many Datuks coming in to shop and never ask for discount and buy like nobody's business and obviously those are well educated. There is such big difference between a well educated Datuk and the not so, especially the "cina pek" Datuks. I am just disguised by the way the present themselves as Datuk, can you imagine you go Robinson and shop and ask for discount and free gifts?
Just few days back one of my stray kittens got knock buy a car and went hiding, we manage to find the kitten and she was hurt, and surprisingly no bleeding but poor kitten the back portion all crushed and can't move (sob sob). Yes she is still very fierce as she never let us touched her before.
It happen quite late at night and we couldn't find any vet. My friend was around and fetch us searching for a vet and the hope is low, couldn't find any. The poor kitten were in pain and meowing all the way has already shitted in the box that we place her in. Unfortunately she can't last till the next day for us to bring her to the vet.
Though these are stray cats, we feed them and somehow we have feelings for it. Going to post some of the pictures of the kittens and mama cat that lingers around my house. Remember I post about PR, he's still around but no longer stay here but will definitely drop by for breakfast and dinner. These kittens are now very much alive. I do hope they can live very long till they are adults and really know how to take care of themselves.
Ever heard of this word 'Rei-ki'? Is is simply Hands-on Energy Renewal Technique, it is believe that it has begun from Tibet few thousand years ago on universal life energy, unfortunately the main source has been forgotten. Until in the mid till late 1800 a Japanese Dr. Mikao Usui rediscover the root system and began his 21 years studies and meditation on Mt Kuryama near Kyoto, Japan. To cut the story short, this healing technique has been pass down to our generations.
What does this 'Rei-ki', Hands-on Energy Renewal Technique do? It induces inner calm, enhances well-being and enthusiasm for life, as well as renewing one's sense of purpose. Does not require exercises, special breathing nor words required, it is simplest art of life energy renewal.
You can practice Rei-ki any where any time, but in order to have Rei-ki you need to actually go for courses in order to receive the Hands-on Energy Renewal Technique and it is separated in to two different course, Rei-ki I and Rei-ki II. Make sure you go to the right people to learn this, as they will actually atone your Crown Chakra in order to receive the energy. If the Crown Chakra is atone wrongly when you give Rei-ki to others you will feel warn out or tired after the Rei-ki session. So make sure you go to the right people for this atoning.
For those of you who would like to experience Rei-ki for free you can drop by Ikano Power Center, Red Envelope on September 27, 2009 from 12noon to 6pm. I tried and it is true that I felt the energy flowing. But be sure to drink lots of water after the session.
For those of you who are interested in learning Rei-ki you can email reikiseminars@yahoo.com or contact 012 383 3035(Shalet) or 012 223 0890(George).
I have been working in a retail shop for more than a month now and I have seen so may different kind of people in terms of character. Some really are good and some are really pain in the ass. Some are just ridiculous.
Just wonder, do you actually go a retail store and ask for discount like you do at pasar malam(night market)? Some of the items in the shop already are best buy items and yet the customer wants more discount. Sorry to say but a lot of Middle Eastern people come into our shop and ask for ridiculous discounts, more then 50% and others just insist on having discount. They are really persistant, they can leave the shop and few minutes later come back and ask for the same thing and at most they do it like two to three times. I just wonder, do you actually to places like Jaya Jusco, Parkson or Metrojaya and ask for discount? NO, right? It is the same, we have a shop in a shopping mall, we are not having a stall by the road at pasar malam(night market)?!?!?! I just wonder why these people don't understand the concept, have their mind shrunk even smaller to comprehent the idea of not giving discount like night market?
Some customers come into the shop and start staying, "Wow, the things here are expensive. I can even get it in Thailand or Vietnam." Yet again, I guess their tiny mind never thought of all the freight charges the owner have to go through, the rental of the shop every month have to folk up and do you actually purposely travelled to the country and just get that one item? How often do you travelled overseas? When you think of it, it is totally worth every penny you are paying for. But I guess people don't think that way. There is no such thing as enjoying things from overseas and not paying for the price.
It's been awhile since the last I blog, as you know I'm busy. And just trying to be patriotic about Malaysia independence just a few days ago, I would like to share this song Satu Suara which most of you have heard before I guess. When I first heard it over the radio and I liked it. The tunes are nice and not so boring. Being in the multi-racial country being one voice and being one is very important for the country to prosper, but I guess it is easier said than done. All we can do is to hope the day comes when we can proudly say we are ONE MALAYSIA!!!
By the way there is a website http://www.satusuara.com/ where you can see their activities and I'm sure you can participate it too. Take a look and find out more for yourself.

I have been busy lately and didn't really have time to update my blog...
will definitely update it ASAP as I have so many things to share with you all.
Stay tune....
Have you been treating yourself lately? What do you do to love yourself? Do you make yourself look the best you could just for others to see? Is that loving yourself?
I am sure looking good is always a constant thing we human strive to be. Looking good for our love ones, looking good for the public to see. To look good is it all about the appearance? Would you actually sacrifice something in order to look good? I do know a person who actually go on extreme diet just to be thin, which has been causing a lot of problem in her stomach and yet she still could not be bothered. Yes, you may think you are still young but can you imagine when all problems will cause chain reactions and by the time you know it is too late to undo what you have done.
For you information she is very thin already to the public eyes but yet she still thinks she is fat and it is just impossible for us to change her mind set and it is just sad to know that is not accepting herself for who she is and is too concern with what the other people thinks of her. That is not the end of the story, I also find out that she is short sighted and she neither wear glasses nor contact lenses. She says it will make her eyes bulge after years of wearing a pair of glasses.
There are times I just wonder is she creating a time bomb for herself and she is slowly destroying herself from the inside out. There are only to ending to this destruction, either you die young or you live old but with a lot of sickness. I may sound cruel but if this continues it seems the ending would be predictable.
To all of you out there, please love your body and this is your only transport for the only soul you have to move around to be with the one you love. Without the body you are just nothing without it even you have a soul in it.
Everybody has a certain level of pride, but do you let it goes to your head? Lets take for an example, if you are graduated from overseas and come back and work as a waiter/waitress in some restaurant, and a friend saw you and message you to confirm whether it is you. Would deny or admit it is you who is working in that particular restaurant?I have experience it first hand that someone actually denies it. To me, there is nothing to be ashame off, whether you are working as a waiter or cashier or whatever you can think off. Does the pride of someone can actually blind him/her? I always ask, does pride bring food to your dining table? Does pride pays your bill? Isn't the answer obvious? NO is definitely the answer.
I have been working as Interior Designers for years and now because of the economy setback, it is pretty hard for me to get a job, but doesn't mean I can't do other things to make a living. The pay is much lesser than my usual job but still, at least there is income. Of course the lifestyle would have to change in order to fit what I am earning now. I totally have no problem telling people that I am a Sales Promoter now. Because I believe pride is nothing and I believe there are bad times and good times, for now I maybe having bad times someday good times will come. I am still learning even though I am a Sales Promoter, stories and info you listen are lesson which you can't buy.
Pride is nothing, and now I totally not in contact with the friend who denies working in the restaurant. No point being friend with someone who look down on himself and had so much pride in him.
I am pretty sure most people already knows I'm working in Red Envelope in Ikano Power Centre and my daily routine would actually helps me do some excercise which I miss my gym for a long long time.
- Walk to the LRT station from my house would actually take me 10-15 mins walk depending on my speed. With that I am already sweating by the time I reach the LRT station.
- Reach the Kelana LRT station will have to walk down the stairs den out of the station then up the stairs to the pedestrian bridge across the road to wait for the free feeder bus by Ikea. (that would be another 5 mins excercise)
- When I am at the shop, every Monday, Wednesday & Friday I would have to mop the floor (some hand excercise to squeeze the mop dry). Every Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday will have to wipe the window display up and down (arm excercise). Which would take me another 10 mins
- After work another 10-15 mins walk back home.
I wonder if I were to do this daily, would I actually grow thin which I wanted so much, as I feel I have put on some weight, expending horizontally. But I love eating, I guess it is about time I go back to my old diet that I manage to lost weight within 1 week. I guess my self-control button needs to keep it "ON" for the time being. If not I would be munching food in between meals. And carb diet is essential, which I have tried and it is quite effective.
I shall loose some weight by end of the month and feed good and confident about myself!!! Anybody want to join me in loosing weight and be the "Biggest Loser"!!!

What is happening? How come Malaysia became the highest H1N1 death toll rate in Asia? Is the public not aware of the H1N1? Is the public being well informed and educated about all the necessary steps to prevent the H1N1. Is there enough TV commercial and print ads to educate the public?When I was in Bangkok last month, when Bangkok has the highest rate of H1N1 cases and yet it is being under controlled. Why? I guess simply because of the commercials they air in their MRT trains and television. I was trying to search for the commercial but I can't find any, as many of you knows Thai commercials are really funny and it really create and impression in you.
The one I saw was, this guy just got of the train with a big headphone over his head, as he walks out of the station, he was rubbing the handrail as though he is the DJ in some club down the stairs. And at the end of the stairs was this man holding a basin and ask him to wash his hands. And of course there were more.
What I really think is the public should be well equipped and be educated about the H1N1 before more are being affected by it and seems like not much is being done. Leave you a Thai commercial from their Health Ministry.
I have always been closer to my friends then family and don't blame me for that because I have a dysfunction family member. Today my blood pressure almost shoot off the roof straigh to the sky above.
As usual it takes me about 15 mins to walk to the LRT station and by the time i reach usually i'm all sweaty, but few steps before i reach the counter only I realise I left my wallet back home. So I made a call back home and ask my dad to locate my wallet and ask anyone to send over. Of course first choice would be my brother who live just one floor above my home and next choice would my my aunty who's just down the street.
After waited awhile I call back home and ask whether did he manage to find my wallet and is anybody sending over. I have got he most classic answer...
me: found my wallet?
dad: yeah.
me: so is bro sending over?
dad: no.
me: why?
dad: bro is going to work.
I got so mad I just hung up the phone. It took me 15 mins to walk there and it takes only 5 mins to drive there, just a 5 mins detour is it that hard? But I already know that he didn't even bother to ask my brother to send it over. I have to walk all the way back with my blood pressure high up in the sky. When I reach home my brother's car still home and he has not even left home. I am already sweaty when I reach the LRT station and walk all the way back again. I totally change my tee and head off to take cab. That was not it, the day before that I wore and old shoe and cause blister on my foot can you imagine how it add salt to your wound like?
Just can't blame me for not being close to my family because I have such loving parent. Who don't give a damn about me only thinks what my brother would think and feel. Totally love them...
The death toll for the Influanza A H1N1 is on the rise and of course people are afraid they might catch the virus out of their house on their way to work, shopping, or work place. As most of you know I work in a shopping mall and I see people day in day out, trust me you see all kinds of people but what I want to talk about it those people wearing a mask.First of all, do they know the real purpose of wearing a mask? A lot of people have a misconceptual over the purpose of wearing a mask. I have been digging up some info quite some time ago before I travelled to Bangkok for holiday. So, here is what World Health Organization (WHO) have to say about wearing a mask.
What about using a mask? What does WHO recommend?
- If you are not sick, you do not wear a mask.
- If you are caring for a sick person, you can wear a mask when you are in close contact with the ill person and dispose of it immediately after contact, and cleanse your hands throughly afterwards.
- If you are sick and must travel or be around others, cover your mouth and nose.
- Using a mask correctly in all situations is essential. Incorrect use actually increases the chance of spreading infection.
I strongly believe that the public should be educated in a situation like this. I see just a handful of people walking in the mall with mask over their face, first impression either he/she is sick or the person next to him/her is sick. Sometimes I may sound rude but it is for the sake of the customer and people working in the retail shop that I will ask the people with mask is he/she sick? I know prevention is better than cure, but if you are so afraid that you might contracted the virus, why don't you just stay at home, isn't that save enough?
