The Ring

My husband has bought me a gift card for my birthday since March but I did not use it until last Sunday. I was actually thinking to use the gift card to buy a vacuum or something that I need for home.

We bought a vacuum couple weeks ago but i forgot to use it. Then I window shopped for abit but couldnt find anything that I really need to buy. Until last week I saw this ring on the catalgue and straightaway I fell in love with it. I checked out the ring at the shop but did not try.

Till last Sunday went shopping with husband and took him to have a look on the ring. He likes it too from first sight and urged me to try which I did. Straightaway I fell in love to this ring also. Within 10 minutes me and the sale lady sealed the deal happily and walked out the shop!

I don't usually buy expensive Jewellery except real gold but this time I was somehow desired it.

Free Cruise

My brother Thomas is working for Herbalife and he achieved his goal of taking the 11 days totally free cruise from Sydney to New Caledonia and Vanuata.

On top of that because of he has reached higher sale target that allowed him to upgrade his room to a VIP room that is way bigger and also has a balcony.

Furthermore he could bring one more person to go on board with no cost also. Instead of taking his gf he took my mum coz his gf thought family should come first. Hmm...what a nice gf !

I think to some other girls if the bf took mum to holiday that gf sure manjak already !

Mum had been sick for the first 2 days. Thats what called sea sick caused her non stop vomitting and she was hardly take in any food. When my brother saw her vomitting he vomited once also.

There are few things that mum and my brother have mentioned about the cruise that I would like highlight here.

1) Mum told me for the first day she was exploring the cruise so she walked everywhere and she realised that there are many big envelopes hanging everywhere. She did not know what was that for until one day she was walking and suddenly she wanted to vomit so she just grabbed those envelop and puked inside. Since then she realised what are those envelopes used for.

2) Food are totally free no matter its buffets or Formal dinner. There are abosultely free. Herbalife are encouring people to to eat well and to lose weight but on the cruise they have forgot about it. All they did was enjoy their food to the max. Imagine 3 dishes for main course???

3) Herbalife has been really generous. Even tips that payable to waiter/waitress were prepared by Herbalife by putting money into envelops and given to Herbalife members to give to the waiter/waitress. How nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4) One day mum and few friends went to pool. As soon as they jumped into the pool all other people who are westerners have disappeared from the pool in less than 5 minutes. Their racism and attitude are absolutely obvious which really really disgusted ! FYI - the cruise are not all for Herbalife members. The cruise take 2000 passengers. Herbalife had about 200 members on board so the rest are passengers either from Australia or other countries.

5) Mum told me there was a conference held by the cruise for each department to introduce what are their responsible and who should be contacted for particular services. When a lady from laundry service was on the stage given speech and advised should anyone have any question can ask her. A friend who sat next to my mum trying to tell my mum that his bath towel is white too and was taken by room service person who may thought its the cruise asset too. He wanted to ask if he could get his own bath towel back. There was this westerner lady in the front row turned her head back and " shuuu shuuu shuuu shuuu" to give sign to mum and the friend that they should stop talking. Mum told me that she was speaking too with her friends and very loud. Once again racism !! why she could speak and others cannot???? Another disgusted incident that I heard ! If I was there I wont keep my mouth shut !

Other than these 2 disgusted incidents I guess they were all enjoyed so much on the TOTAL FREE CRUISE for 11 DAYS !!!!!

The cruise arrived back in Sydney early in the morning. And mum insisted to take Adam down to the city to farewell the cruise in the evening. She was crazy because she hates going to city but that day it was cold and wet wet weather but still wanted to go !!! Lucky we were right on time to see the cruise leaving ! Mum was sad to see it leaving.

Friend with Needs

A friend rectify my post, Relationship Definition?
He told me that I have got a word wrong.

I talked about fuck mate. It should be fuck buddy :)
Well, he also told me that there is a new term for this term. It is called "friend with needs".

Ha...it's so cool ha...
This sound better.

I felt like peoples needs are different also.
Some peoples needs these "friends" for
1) Sexual needs
2) talking needs (to get audience)
3) love needs
4) companion needs
5) Caring needs
6) Excitement needs
and more....

It is also difficult to find friend with needs, where you can meet their needs hay~ :P

Can Colleagues be Personal Friend?

The radio station was discussing a topic, can colleagues be your personal friend?

The argument of course with two sided. Some audience called in and said "NO".
They said there is always no friend friend stories among colleague. Colleagues are colleagues, you can never relax with them, as they are reminding you the workplace, and your works.

I love someone said, "OF COZ colleagues can be friends. Friend is meant for chut mai (betray in English). Therefore, it is okay to betray colleagues. As if you do not golden point (said some bad things about colleagues), then you are not qualified to be promoted."

And I also love a girl's innocent. She said as long as she has the capability, she is not afriad of the colleagues golden point her. So she is fine to have colleagues as friends. And she is closed with them.

What I think would be, it is really depends on the person's position in the company, and the job scope.

If you think your job has no threat, for example, if you were an admin clerk. Then to get colleagues as friends is okay, it would not affect you. And probably you won't be able to get too close with the bosses/colleagues.

If you were a higher ranking management staff, say manager. It is better for you to keep a distance, as it would be easier for you to work or assign jobs.

It is important to differentiate where workplace is, and where fun place is. Do not mix up them!

I had a dream

I have this dream last week. It's a very strange dream that I can still remember clearly after woke up. I remember it, and I felt guilty about it.

The dream was this.


I was walking at a padestrian walkway. A grey doggie was following me, it seems like Husky. However, my mind was telling me, I can't afford to spend time and money to another dog besides Coco. So I can't take it home.

Then, when passed by a pet shop, I went into it, and wanted to tell the shop worker that, I do not want the dog. Please bring it to proper place like SPCA. But the worker was busy, she heard I do not want the dog. The she said "okay, let me finish something then come to you. Please wait."

So I was waiting at the selling floor, seeing the products on shelves. There is also a small theater area to introduce more about animals.

While I was so into seeing the video, the worker came. She told me "everything is fine, and the total included "dah zai" is RM 29.90." I was so shocked!!!!

WHATTT???? Dah zai>???? it means the dog already died.

I didn't mean it. I didn't mean to kill the dog!!!

The lady somemore said, the dog does not know itself dead, it will know by the first 7th day after it died.

My goodness....I kill the dog!!! in my dream


****************************
Footnote:
1. "Dah Zai: It is part of the taosm ceremony when people die. It helps to reduce the sin that they did during their life time."

2. 7th day: Chinese always believe that the soul of the dead people will always come back on the 7th day.

Masak-Masak

As usual, I have a quick cook with Jason last night.
Can you imagine, if a potato dropped on floor, without washing, and quickly put it back to the pot.
Will you eat it???

The Mr. Jason forced me to eat it!

释觉灯

在婆婆丧礼，唯一让人提起精神的是，释觉灯师父的念经session.
We had rap during his session, and because he is young, and hen sem, we are kind of awake a bit.
Else, it's sad that grandma passed away, and still having dull environment.

Normally he is servicing at 香山寺, where located in Penang island.
Perhaps if there is a day we shall visit that temple to rap with him again.

His rap is so strong, and memorable that you can still hear it even you were not there.
It's agreeable by everyone of us!

By the way, he has the monk clothes, and normal sandal, very "in" mobile phone, and very nice (seems expensive) watch. I bet he is very professional monk (who charge).

*** He used to help my 4th aunt to "rap" too, he wasn't so good, but better now!***

MBA Not a Good Choice to Look for Partners

Today I just found out one thing. A potential couple is not a couple, they have their bf and gf already.

Initial thought to go for MBA was to get myself busy, and enlarge my network. And if possible, I could find my future partner there.

Well, up until now, the friends who graduated, and myself, non of us are couple. We found our partner else where not from class. ha ha...

It's so funny that many of us initially seems like there is chance. But at the end, we are not lol :P

It's kind of good also, because we don't have to keep the partner who remind us about assignments and exams. We want better chat :P

Hospitalized Coco

I miss Coco so much!! She is hospitalized at Kota Kemuning, where 40 mins away from home.
She has no health problem, I just brought her to spay in order to let her have better health later, and also better social opportunity later.

She looks so sad laying in the cage. She couldn't see us at first, because her big big collar is covering her sight. Then when we called her Coco....she was waking up slowly, and jumping in the cage. That hurt her wound so much. The vet then opened the door wanted to let her touch her, she quickly came out from the cage when she saw the cage opened. My goodness, that again hurt her.

So we quickly put in her toys (no milo/flower/fruit allowed in this hospital), let her play with her toys when she is bored.

According to the vet, she didn't wanna eat if the food without milk. She is usually eating like our corn flakes breakfast with milk. Then she also very emotionally, hates the vet because make her pain pain. She wanted to bite them. Vet complaint that, Coco is unlike other golden retriever, she is not friendly :P

Hm......While Coco is not home, the 3 legs cat always taking chance to come into my parents house. Today when she walked into the house, I called her come. She came to my leg, and then trying to play with me. I used to hate her, because she always bullies my Coco. However, when you see her closer, she is really pitiful. Her leg is really cut by someone that made her disable. Jason tried to touch her last night, she was so fierce to him, and wanted to bite him. I surprised that she let me touch, and wanted my dad to touch her too.

Taurus

It's interesting to see these about Taurus, which is me. Who am I?

Patient and reliable
Warmhearted and loving
Persistent and determined
Placid and security loving

On the dark side....

Jealous and possessive
Resentful and inflexible
Self-indulgent and greedy

And I found a few of the paragraph that I like and quite true to me.

Although their physical appearance may belie it, they have a strong aesthetic taste, enjoying art, for which they may have a talent, beauty (recoiling from anything sordid or ugly) and music. They may have a strong, sometimes unconventional, religious faith. Allied to their taste for all things beautiful is a love for the good things of life pleasure, comfort, luxury and good food and wine and they may have to resist the temptation to over indulgence, leading to drunkenness, gross sensuality, and covetousness.

They are more than averagely amorous and sensually self-conscious, but sexually straightforward and not given to experiment. They make constant, faithful, home loving spouses and thoughtful, kindly parents, demanding too much of neither their spouses nor children.

Imagination

Recently, I have thought about marriage. Am I qualified?
Let's make some assumptions:
If va:L want to get married, and plan to have 1-2 kids.

1) What's the reason to get married?
The possibility would be,
a) She is pregnant, but do not want to remove the infant, because it is illegal.
b) Time to get married, because she is at the age that everyone is marrying moreover she found a very lovely husband.
c) The man is a handsome, financial stable, aggressive in his career, and lovely man.

2) Can va:L handle kids?
a) ehm...ehhmm.....va:L is wondering. Most probably not, as a working class woman.
b) The kids might be left at the shopping mall, by the time reach home, va:L could be still changing her new clothes without noticing that.
c) va:L definitely prefer to stay home to take care of the kids full time, if the family financial is allowed.
d) va:L needs a lot of attentions. Without proper attention from the husband, the kids might be the victim, and the newspaper could be reported about child abuse. She has the tendancy. Another possibility would be the child might be left unattended, and va:L might be out to else where for drinking.

3) Problems?
The biggest problem that va:L has is actually her communication skill. Then followed by her relationship management skill. I would have rated her as super poor. She would try to accomodate all requests, and love him at her best, but she doesn't know how to manage the relationship to tell what she wants. She gives up easily wheneve she found difficult, the reason is simple. She just doesn't want to change someone's thought/lifestyle. She think she doesnt qualify. She rather suffer for few months than suffer forever with the communication problems.


Guys, if you were looking for partner, yeah, I will be the right one. If you were looking for wife, I am sorry. I wanted to try, but I don't think I am qualified.

Relationship definition?

I doubt, what are the differences between below:
1) Friendship
2) Good friend vs best friend
3) bf/gf vs partner vs fuck mate (which is in trend)

I guess....
1) Friendship, are the friend that you value so much, which you think the friends worth to be friends, they would not betray you, they are always with you if you were reasonable. True friends would be always with you without making unnecessary problems to you.

2) Good friend vs best friend.
Good friends can be many, best friends just need to be 1 or 2. You only meet good friends once a while, but you meet best friends very often or you communicate with them very often. You will miss your best friends whenever you don't see them.

3) bf/gf vs partner
To be franked, I don't see the different between these two.
I see partner has better communication, as they might have some deal to keep the relationship. It doesn't need to be affair, but it can be something like soul mate. Both with some "love" to develop the relationship.

Fuck mate. Fuck mate can be partner, but they can't be bf/gf, because there is no commitment at all. However, bf/gf that have sexual activities, but do not wanna commit, it's rather more towards fuck mate. Fuck mate is with almost zero of love in the relationship, or it could be one-way relationship.

**Fuck mate is not a new term, I heard of it 3 years ago. A friend defined it to me. **

Something interesting that I heard, partner, and fuck mate could turn back as friend, but bf/gf can hardly turn back to friend once break up. Why? Too much expectation? Too much disappointment?

Sometimes I found soul mate is better. You don't have the expectation on him/her, you find him/her when you need to talk. Though it's something like best friends, but soul mate is something that more than best friends, yet will not be best friend forever.

It's so complicated, yet, this is life.

Once in a relationship, is that mean you possess him/her forever? Who knows...
It doesn't mean that you already have someone always there, at home.
If you do not maintain the relationship, you can't expect to have the same outcome as the beginning.

*** The above is the author thought, and what she heard, it is not from any of the research***

Friendsss, miss u all!

Ha....counting down, counting down, counting down...

Pei San is coming back in May, can't wait!!!!
Soo Yee might come back in July/August, can't wait!!!!
Alice is coming back in Oct/Nov, can't wait!!!!

I really can't wait to see all of them!!!

And Tyan Ling who just came back, who is moving to Cheras today.
Ha....more kaki to hang out joR!!!

Woman kills son, self at gun range @ Yahoo!7 Video

The Associated Press reports that 44-year-old Marie Moore left recorded messages saying,"I had to send my son to heaven and myself to Hell."

The teary audio recordings were reportedly left for her boyfriend and authorities.

The shooting happened at the Shoot Straight range in Casselberry, about 10 miles north of Orlando.

The motive for the murder-suicide is still unclear.

"We have no clue. I don't even want to begin to speculate," said Deputy Chief Bill McNeil of the Casselberry Police Department, according to the AP.

The security video from the gun range shows Marie Moore walking up behind her son as he lifts his gun at a target in front of him. She the points a gun at the back of his head.

In later frames, the firing booth is empty.

The son died at the scene, while it's thought his mother died later in hospital.

It's understood Moore had a history of mental illness.

The AP reports that in her recorded message she says, "I'm sorry to do this in your place of business, but I had to save my son.

"God made me a queen and I failed. I'm a fallen angel. He turned me into the Antichrist."

If you are suffering from mental illness and need assistance please do not contact this blogger. Thank you.

Worst Than Being a Prostitute

Last Saturday, Mel, she commented "Sometimes I found it is more suffering to be a white collar worker than being a prostitute."

When I heard of it, I was laughing.
But when I got home, this sentence is still floating in my mind until now.

I don't deny that being a white collar is suffering, but I can't compare with another totally different industry of job, prostitution. As never been specialized in the industry :P

Just to measure white collar's pressure,
yeah it is really suffering to some peoples including me.
It is quite annoying to see other white collar using cunning strategies to climb to higher in the company hierarchy.
It is annoying to see peoples acting in the company, which just for self protection.
There are too many selfish moreover stupid (and thought they are clever peoples 兰聪明） peoples that 烂泥扶不上墙！(it's a proverb in Chinese that saying low quality of mud cannot be stick on the wall, if direct translate).

The world is full with these peoples! We just need to find way to adapt ourselves in this condition, and use their strategy to treat them. They prefer that way!

Go Iranian Way

I was in a HR class last Saturday afternoon. We were discussing about working culture. The lecturer pointed at an Iranian classmate and asked, "What about you?"

The girl replied:
"Sir, I do not know. As I never work before."

The lecturer and the rest of the students were so envy the lady, as everyone said..."COOL!"
The girl continue to say, "I am here not because of going to work too. I am here because this is the only entertainment to me! As Iranian, lady does not required to work. During younger time, father is responsible for the expenses. When married, husband is responsible for the expenses. We are not required to work. For guys, if family is rich, they don't have to work either."

The lecturer then said, "Surprised, this is new to me, I thought only Korea."
I said, "No, suppose we have the same culture too! Husband pay for our expenses, but too bad." As deep in my heart I think, it's too bad that Malaysian husband cannot afford to pay for the wife living. And the wife need to put in effort to support the house hold expenses too.
How nice if we can go Iranian way. Thinking of should get an Iranian husband, who practice Iranian way!!!

What's Wrong with Me?

What's wrong with me recently?
I dreamed of Alston's dead body beside me.
I dreamed of him again last night that he brought his Malay wife, and two kids to my parent's house to look for me.

I don't know for what reason, I brought them to one of the room to stay in.
He then talked to me, which I can't remember what was the content like.

To be franked, I forgot about him already, I can't remember his look either.
And what happened to me recently that dreamed of him twice within a month time?

The dreams reminded me that it's March that we broke up, it's March that I got hurt, it's March that his birthday month (that same day as Alice) and March seems like not a good month to me either, where I always find out something that I don't want to know (that's hurt too).

It's April now, and usually April is a good month that usually I plan for trips for recover. Would it be better for me to take a break for trip? I really wanna break away next weekend, but I need to bring Coco to spay, and if possible to remove my wisdom tooth.

Perhaps July to visit "Xiao de". I texted him to book for his time already, hope that everything can be fixed by June.

Suggestion to your boss : Facebook, YouTube at work make better employees

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Caught Twittering or on Facebook at work? It'll make you a better employee, according to an Australian study that shows surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increases productivity.

The University of Melbourne study showed that people who use the Internet for personal reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive that those who do not.

Study author Brent Coker, from the department of management and marketing, said "workplace Internet leisure browsing," or WILB, helped to sharpened workers' concentration.

"People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration," Coker said on the university's website (www.unimelb.edu.au/)

"Short and unobtrusive breaks, such as a quick surf of the Internet, enables the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total net concentration for a days' work, and as a result, increased productivity," he said.

According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work engage in WILB.

Among the most popular WILB activities are searching for information about products, reading online news sites, playing online games and watching videos on YouTube.

"Firms spend millions on software to block their employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online under the pretence that it costs millions in lost productivity," said Coker. "That's not always the case."

However, Coker said the study looked at people who browsed in moderation, or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office.

"Those who behave with Internet addiction tendencies will have a lower productivity than those without," he said.
