Good Bye, Jennifer...Have a peaceful journey

Got a bad news this morning that one of my hubby's close friend passed away on Sunday morning. It was a great shock to everyone coz it happened so sudden. I wasn't close to her but some years back we used to went out in a group for tea or short trip once in a while.

It is a sad thing as she was still so young (abt 30 yrs old) and the unborn child (it was a baby girl) were supposed to due in 2 weeks time. I won't go into details but it is truly a tragedy but then perhaps it was meant to be. I do not want to ask God why things turned out this way and I believe all things happened for a reason.
Our life is so short and no one can ever predict how long one gonna lives. It could be 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, 40 years or 80 years. We could die of sickness, accident or natural death. But all that are not important as it is beyond our control.
Life is fragile, hence, we should live like there is no tomorrow. Live life to its fullest, to loved and be loved, appreciate and cherish the things and people around us and to enjoy our life and do things that makes us happy so that we will have no regrets.
After all, we only live once in this life time.
My heart goes out to her husband, her parents and all her love ones. I pray that God would give them strength to be strong for each other.
Jennifer, you will always be loved & remembered.

Boring!!!!

Life has been quite boring lately. I've been doing more or less the same things day after day, week after week, month after month..sigh....no excitement at all....

But then again, this is life. It happens to everyone irregardless of race, religion, age & gender. There are ups & downs, sometimes it can be so exciting and as colourful as the rainbow, but sometimes it can be as dull as a dead fish.

Don't get me wrong. I am very happy and complacent with my life and everything I have..just that sometimes I do feel my life a bit bored and dull.

What can I do to make my live more exciting? Do more travelling? Try out bungee jumping, sky diving? hmmmm..I think should try out all these if I have the chance one day.

What the ......?!?!?

I received a lot of forwarded mails, chain mails, jokes and etc. as usual today but there was one particular mail with some pictures that really caught my attention.

I first find it kind of cute & innocently sweet when I saw the first picture, but as I continued to scroll down and saw the rest of the pictures, I scream in horror and was really upset. The first thought in my mind was, 'What our society and next generation has become?!?' Surely this two adorable kids which I guess aged about 5-6 years old saw all the actions somewhere and then they mimic the same.

It is sad to see this sort of things happened to children at such young innocent age. For all the parents out there, imagine if you see your son/daughter doing this. How would you feel? I mean, seriously, this sort of thing if happen to teenager I'm not surprise at all, but not at such tender age. :(




You can clearly see that the little boy is putting his hand in the girl's pants. GOSH!!!
And his hand again inside her pants grabbing her butt!!!





Is he showing her his birdy??? I seriously don't dare to even imagine.... -_-



This is really sad and sick...... I really don't know how to react to it. If I'm the parent of these kids, I think I'll get heart attack.

Online Shopping Spree

My friend recently referred me to an online clothing portal called YourLittleWardrobe.com. My!!! They have so many nice clothes and the prices were way much lower than many online sellers.

Needless to say, me & my friend both went crazy lah..... Imagine a dress only cost average RM30-35, which if you go to Flea Market in those shopping mall for same kind of design, could probably cost RM49.90 - RM 69.90. Hence, there were no reason not to buy online from YourLittleWardrobe.com as I was already planning to shop for more dresses.

I've paid for the damage (RM400++, hehehehe) and now 'Impatiently' waiting for the parcel to come. Since those are pre-order items, we will need to wait for 1 month. T_T

Speaking of cheap & nice dresses, there are many boutiques in Berjaya Time Square (3rd floor onwards) selling at even more competitive price. Most shops priced their goods from RM10 - RM 25 per piece. I got myself 3 pretty dresses at RM25 each last week. The similar dresses are selling between RM49.90-69.90 at other places.

So if you are hunting for good bargains, BTS is the right place for you. :)

Happy Shopping!!!

Plastic Beauty…A Turn Off?

What are the general perceptions of people toward Cosmetic/Plastic surgery these days?

Some people might say its fake, pretentious, artificial, unnatural, lies, deceitful, phony, etc. Say or call it whatever you like, but the blatant truth is, no one cares, especially for guys (well, at least for the majority), they certainly don’t mind if they find out a hot chic, be it an acquaintance or his own girlfriend ever went under the knife and artificially altered herself.

I once read a testimony (in a local magazine) sent in by a guy about his experience on One-Night-Stand with a girl that he picked up from a bar. He said when he saw the girl undressed and he realized her boobs were fake, he was rather turn off at first, but then he decided to carry on and “My!”, he said, “the fake boobs were nice to hold and behold” (I almost died laughing then).

Why? Coz we are living in a world where looks come first. Good looks, pretty features, hot & sexy figure, popular, all that are the most superficial thing people see in us and it is nice to have or to be seen with something pleasing to the eyes and senses. Of course, true beauty is more than meets the eyes; however, the first impression is always determined by how a person looks.

I’m sure many of you noticed in the online network like Facebook, those pretty girls tend to have so many friends, and do you think those girls really know most of the so called ‘friends’ they added?

Most people like to be around someone who is good looking, handsome, pretty, beautiful, hot, sexy, popular and rich. I don’t really know what driven us to behave that way but I guess it has something to do with our ego & the materialism in us.

Say, if I know Rudy & JJ from hitz.fm per say, I’m sure a lot of people would want to get close to me in order to get me to ask for free passes for this and that. Or, if I’m as pretty & hot as Jessica Alba, I’m sure I’ll have lots of guys queuing at the front of my house. :P

I’m pretty sure most people who are into blogging know who Dawn Yang is (you can visit her blog at http://www.dawnyang.com/). Her beauty and her fast success in the blogging world and entertainment industry have earned her a wide base of fans as well as rivals. Her old pictures during high school were exposed and comparison of her then & now pictures were made and it was clear to the world that (unless you are blind or living in a world of denial), she did went under the knife and did something to her entire face. It's neither confirmed nor denied but it is really obvious that she did.

Well, I’m not here to condemn her about what she did to herself. My point is, clearly everyone can tell that she did go for plastic surgery, but then, who cares? She is making money and getting recognition from the media for who she is and how she looks right now. No one cares if she wasn’t as hot (she was not ugly then, but just a slightly above average sweet looking girl), all that matter, She is Hot & Desirable now. There’s even a group call ‘In Love with Dawn’ in Facebook.

And for those who ever condemned her and tried to defame her, to me, it was all an act of sour grapes. Come on, be true to yourself for once, if you have the money (and the guts), don’t tell me you wouldn’t want to go under the knife and make yourself more beautiful, unless you are really happy with the way you are.

Plastic Surgery is no longer a taboo these days, many celebrities did it and so are common people like us. Who knows, perhaps one day I might want to go for breasts enlargement, or make my eyes bigger, or my nose taller & sharper. And if I do, I’ll admit it openly and be proud of it.

I’m pretty happy with how I look right now (though not entirely), and I do not have the money. So, until I’m ready financially & mentally or until I can’t stand the way I look, I’ll just live with the way I am, for now. :P

Material Girl

A lady friend of mine, J, was mentioning about a conversion she had with a guy some time back. The guy commented that girls these days are so much more materialistic compare to last time. J then asked the guy why would he make such a comment and his replied were that girls these days love to buy expensive & branded stuff.

There are basically three groups of people here, the first group only buy genuine branded stuff, the second group would like to buy branded stuff but can’t afford the real one, hence they opt for the ‘imitation’ branded stuff (mind you an imitation LV bag can actually cost up to RM1K, where else the original might cost between RM2-3K), and the third group couldn’t care less or can’t even afford the imitation one, thus they would buy things with no special branding and cost way much cheaper.

Are girls these days more materialistic in general? Well, I would say the answer is yes and no. Just because girls these days tend to spend more money on branded stuff, do not make them materialistic. Let me share what I considered is materialistic and what’s not.

For those who are all out to get a rich boyfriends or sugar daddy (these are the gold digger) and demand the guys to buy them branded stuff, or even when their boyfriends are not rich but the girls still demand the guys to buy them branded stuff, meaning, the girls themselves either can’t afford it or do not want to use their own money but ask other people to buy for them, those are materialistic.

But, for a girl, if she is earning well and all she wants is at the end of the day pamper herself with some branded & expensive merchandise with her hard earn money, that is not materialistic. I mean if you are capable of earning the money, you have every rights to spend it anyway you want, so if you feel that using branded stuff makes you feel good, by all means go ahead, coz no one has the rights to comment or condemn that you are materialistic for using your own money.

But personally, I’m the kind of person which I rather use RM1000 to buy maybe 5 different handbags than to spend RM1500 on only 1 bag. I’m not really a brand conscious person, for me a GUESS handbag is exclusive enough. I don’t need to use LV, GUCCI or BURBERRY for the sake of having a branded handbag, coz after all the difference between GUESS and LV, etc is the ‘Brand’. Quality wise, I think GUESS is very good and please bear in mind a GUESS handbag that cost up to RM200-400 is also consider expensive. For those who only shop from Pasar Malam, the same amount of money that I pay for 1 GUESS handbag could probably get them 10 handbags from Pasar Malam.

To be frank, I do buy imitation goods. I've bought 3 imitation GUESS handbags from a Thai Fair and its cost me less RM 100 in total and they look just as nice as the original. Only thing is the quality of the zip are lousy but then again I’ll have excuse to buy new one when its spoil. So in other way, I don’t have to get stuck with the same design for so long. I’ll always have the liberty to buy more without feeling guilty because of the price.

I Need Some Sleep

Sigh....after months of sleeping problem, my body finally broke down yesterday.

I went back to office for half a day meeting yesterday and after lunch I came home to rest. I was having very bad headache & feeling extremely dizzy as my body and mind have reached the exhaustion limit. I tried to sleep when I get home but the throbbing headache was killing me and I didn't really get to rest.

I didn't get to rest much due to the headache and my usual sleeping problem and I feeling more lethargic than ever this morning. I called in for MC and went to see doctor about 10:00am follow by a quick breakfast and medication (my doctor prescribed me some medication to relax and calm my brain & nerves). Went home about 11:30am and slept thru the entire day till about 5:00pm just now.

Keith has been having fever since Tuesday and today he too took MC. So, you can imagine, a sick couple staying in the house and the less sick one (that would be me) have to take care of the other more serious one.

Falling sick is a very miserable thing. I hope both of us will get well soon, especially Keith as he is very prone to fever and it worries me. According to our doctor, Keith is having a very bad viral fever. Both my parents-in-law are also having fever since Monday and I hope the virus won't spread to me.

As my company is in the stage of finalising the integration and staff transfer, it would be very busy for me these following few weeks, thus I can't afford to fall sick.

Hopefully the medication is effective enough to solve my sleeping problem.
