My Current Fav.

I'm currently in love with this music by the group Maroon 5. The beginning part sounds like Kryptonite (by 3 doors down) though..LOL Guess what!? I just found from Wikipedia that the author finds the same resemblance between Maroon 5's Goodnight Goodnight and also Kryptonite.

Here's the music. Do enjoy!


P/S : The delay of my blog post is due to me being tired after work. Will resume blogging soon!

D's Victourious moments

Last 2 weeks ago (13th and 14th Dec), Dave participated in a badminton competition at Wangsa Maju. He and his team won 1st place. Congratulations dear!!

Notice the delay of this post??? It's due to my laziness and also work which causes me to be lazy.. ok ok I know I know, no more procrastinations. There are still so many events and happenings I would I to post.. I'll try to seek more time!

Here are some snapshots I got during his game and also during the prize giving ceremony:

This competition was organized by MCA and Dave was involved in the organizing part as well.
Once again, congratulations to all that have participated in the competition!

SALES....or no SALES?

In my opinion, the current saving sales isn't a REAL saving sales..

Why?

Let me elaborate a lil'
1) To save is not to buy
There are certain people who will buy EXTRA whenever they see the word SALES.
Worse, some will even buy unnecessary items for the sake of SALES.
So, in such cases, certain people SPEND more during SALES and not SAVE more (Which includes me *wink*)

2) Misleading term
I've noticed certain outlets/shops/boutiques do not really have their proclaimed "FURTHER REDUCTION" or "SALES" as certain items were sold at such price all year round.
Again, people will be mislead into buying items of such.

3) Advantage taken
Several shops that I always go use this saving sales period to clear off their REALLY OLD stocks at a fair price. This is of course if you don't mind buying them.
Before this, the sales items are better than the current SAVINGS SALES. What I really mean is, SALES items before the current SAVINGS SALES are in larger quantity/variety.
As for me, I prefer their NORMAL SALES to the now Malaysia Savings Sales because I get to perhaps purchase a better and newer item.

However, being a shopaholic, I can't resist the temptation whether or not there's SALES or NO SALES =).

Holidays on the last month of the year

Being the last month of the year, there'll be public holidays and this year we have extras. (although not all are gazetted public holidays). We'll have Hari Raya Haji this coming Monday, 8th December followed by Sultan Selangor's birthday which on the 11th December then Christmas, 25th and Awal Muharram on the 29th December. Not forgeting 1st January 2009 as well.

However, of all the mentioned public holidays, I only have Christmas, New Year and Sultan Selangor's birthday as non-working days where as the rest is half day. Sad sad...

What do I have to face everyday during work? Let me list it down:
1) blood samples
2) urine samples
3) sysmex and ESR machines
4) microscope and slides
5) histograms
6) people at work
7) wastes

So far, people at my workplace are nice people. I hope I'll continue to maintain a good relationship with all of them.

Not a Bad Day After All

Job searching doesn't seem so bad after all. I got response from most of my applications and so far I got response from all the interviews I've attended.

I've accepted an offer and will start work very soon. I hope everything goes fine *fingers crossed* I'm now relieved as I'm wanted now!! Yes.. I won't be jobless pretty soon. I'll do my best in my work..I promise

I should be happy but part of me is sad... *lol* probably I'll miss my freedom, my time with Dave and also the time I have to laze around. The feeling is weird, awkward and different.. I need to get over this.. I SHOULD BE PURELY HAPPY.. time for McD fries.

Mirror Mirror...

When should I loose my tresses?

Day by day, when I have the chance to glance myself at the mirror, I would pull up my hair to have a glimpse of myself having short hair. Sometimes it excites me, sometimes it scares me. Tell me what to do, oh Mirror Mirror? Shall I loose it all or shall I retain my tresses?

I better cut it before I change my mind... oh when oh when..

Psst.. I used to have my hair in LUMPS..Why do I say so? Let me tell you a story. I remembered a friend of mine, having not met for a year or two and when we finally did, the first thing she said was (while pointing to my head) "Oh Vivian, your hair style never changes, it looks like a lump, you never change!!" while she was giggling all the way. I felt embarrassed and insulted.

Things change after that. First, I had long straight hair, well it was also for quite some time and it's because I prefer straight hair. Then I changed my hairstyle to something different, I had it curled and highlighted in RED. A year later, I trimmed my hair much shorter and had it straightened. Almost a year now, I guess I'm going to have my hair short unless I change my mind AGAIN.. *LOL* My mind does changes easily.....

I am happy~~

because I got good news regarding my job search..and
because I got something I wish a person will like (it's a secret)..and
because I have a plan, not mischievous but I'm liking it ..and
because I am listening to my favourite list of musics.. *lol* and
because part of my burden/trouble was lifted

Actually, I've been bad today. I've rejected a job offer. I did so not because I'm choosy but the job scope isn't too suitable for me, especially coming from the East side of Malaysia. I only knew the real thing only after the interview. Part of me was glad when the company called me up telling me I was accepted. However, I'm feeling so bad that I'm quiet for today.

All this while, I don't like to reject people and the simplest NO is hard to come out from my mouth. Probably it's because of the environment that I was brought up in. I know how it feels to be rejected and I know what it's like when you needed help most but nobody is able to lend you a hand. I know it somehow. It's high time I have to stand up and do what I have to.

Actually, Mel told me regarding this matter the other day, after my job interview, when we met up at Pavvy. She told me a very important fact that I explain too much, especially when I have to reject or say NO to others. Well, come to think about it, she's not wrong. I don't directly reject or say NO to others but I will keep explaining about this and that till that someone will get the idea that I actually couldn't help/do something/go somewhere. *LOL* I guess I flood people with too many reasons.

So, today I did the right thing. I didn't give people lots of unnecessary explanations. Firstly, I asked the company if they could approve my request/conditions. When they say NO I then apologised and rejected the offer. After I hung up the call, I had a funny feeling, I felt weird, I'm not used to this, I wasn't actually sure if I was down? or glad? or sad? or disappointed? that I became quiet the whole day. Anyway, burden's lifted and that's all that matters. I faced my problem(s) and I didn't ran away. *smiling like a kid getting praised*

Yesterday.....many first times

Let me announce before your mind sways elsewhere.

Firstly, I had my first job interview yesterday. It was a good experience and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. However, the job scares me. So, that brings me the first experience of job interview.

Then, I applied my newly bought gel eyeliner yesterday. Although it wasn't a success, it's still my first time.

Also, I had my first time taking so many pictures with many different themes of Christmas trees. After my job interview, I went to Pavvy to join the girls for shopping and that was where I took the pictures. Although it's more than a month before Christmas but we're feeling the Christmassy Mood coming already~~ We Wish You A Merry Christmas~~

Last night was my first time dining with Dave in Carl's Junior Mid Valley Megamall. We were too hungry that we didn't take any snapshots of the food. We had Mushroom Burger, fries, onion rings and bottomless drinks. It cost us about RM34.

There were so many to experience in one day. I was exhausted during the night that I fell asleep in front of my monitor before going into deep slumber.

Tomorrow...

...I am awaiting but I don't want it to come so soon. However, I want it to be over as soon as possible.
I am anxious, excited, nervous...
Millions of butterflies are flipping their delicate wings in my stomach
I can feel every movement clearly
I'm so nervous that I can pass out
Wish me luck everyone!
I'll be at my best and do my best although I'm not well prepared.
I'll face it like an adult! Yes!! I can do it.... Can I??

Wrong Timing won us Rm100~

Dave took a snapshot weeks ago and yesterday, he sent that picture to The Star publication. That picture won him a RM100. It's actually RM50 but because he's a Maxis user, an additional RM50 was given. Thank you The Star and Maxis. Here's the link.

Dave is so happy and he's still thrilled about the win.

I HATE..

...being accused
...being threatened
...being shouted at
...being embarrassed
...being disrespected
...being cheated

I STRESS AGAIN!!!!
I HATE BEING...
accused
shouted at
embarrassed
disrespected
cheated

AND WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE TO BE BLAMED?

Oniomania...

I think I have them.

Some of you may be wondering what is that. Don't worry, it's not a deadly disease and it's certainly not contagious.. I hope so *lol*

(Inspired by Sonia)

It's actually a term for shopping addicts/compulsive shopping; the desire to spend money and feeling euphoria when it comes to shopping. Recently, I always have this urge to go out and buy things, anything that comes into mind. Even now, I still have the desire to go out and spend my money on things I know not necessary. So, I did some mini research on the web and this is what I found, ONIOMANIA. I'm not sure why it is termed so, but it sounds a bit like ONION..lol. Nah, actually I know why. Oniomania comes from the word onios (Greek) which means for sale and mania means insanity.

Several websites indicate the causes of oniomania could be depression, negative emotions (anger, stress), low-self esteem as well as social conditions. Hmm... am I depress? Could I be under stress? anger? One thing for sure, I'm easily angered.

If you think you're a shopaholic, let's watch out for these symtoms:
1) Compulsive buying
- when you need 1 top, you came home with more
- I think I am one compulsive buyer *sweat*

2) Hiding purchases
- hide/lie purchase to your significant other/parents
- I know who does ^^
- recently I do lie about my purchases *sweats*
I use to tell Dave what I bought and what I'm going to buy but I don't think I do now. Maybe I should start telling him again to control myself before my Oniomania level goes to the extreme.

3) Overspent/ over budget
Errr.... maybe I'm not in this category. I do control my spendings, just that when I have extra, I tend to spend a little bit more. I do have a minimum amount of money being kept for the rainy days. Anything over my savings, NO NO!

4) Hiding bills
This one applys to credit card(s) users which currently I'm not. Whenever I use credit card, I'll ask for permission first ^^.

5) Feeling ashamed/guilty after a shopping spree
- *lol* Again, I know who does!

6) Shopping to cover up anger/depression/sadness/anxiety/loneliness
- Who doesn't go around when you're lonely?

7) Thinking about money obsessively
- OMG, I do think a lot about money!

I'll have to start controlling now. Whenever I feel like going out shopping, I may have to opt for grocery supermarkets so I won't buy unnecessary attires/accesories or think of something more healthy to do like arranging my collections ^^ *Sweats even more* That would inflict more desire/urge. Better go for exercise.

Get It?

I was reading jokes from this site and guess what I found?
This:

Joke #1
(Jokes were slightly altered)
"Dear, guess what I heard today?" Mr. Innocent asks to his wife.
"What is that, honey?" the wife asks.
"The postman has seduced every woman on our block but one."
The wife replies, "I bet it's that stuck-up Felicia in number 33."

Joke #2
At a rugby match, a player was knocked down by an opponent. This player didn't move so first-aiders quickly grabbed their gears and rushed to the field. Meanwhile, the coach picked up the player and asked "Can you hear me? Squeeze me once for yes and twice for no."

Get the joke? *lol*

Current addiction

I'm currently addiction to this game - Bubble Tanks 2. I've been playing it since yesterday. Why I like this game is because it can be played online for free, without downloading and installation. This game's mission is to destroy enemy tanks in different giant bubbles. Thus, we're required to destroy the enemies from bubbles to bubbles. Visit the site for more information and other games.

The hold back

I didn't realize that I haven't post anything since 3rd October. This mean that I have not been writing for the past 4days! What have I been doing for the past freaking 4 days!? Let me list it out... First, I had been working on the 4th and 5th then followed by resting on the 6th. Yesterday, I went out and got myself tired. Let me summarize the whole thing here since my memory has been refreshed..

Work was alright but I have something to digress about here regarding my workplace. First, some staffs there are not so friendly but that's not the worst problem. My break time was supposed to be 5 - 6 pm (set by my agent) but the staffs there insisted that I should follow their break hours which was either 2, 3 or 4 pm and so I am on the 4-5pm break. Nevermind that! Again, this is not the worst matter! The award winning problem should be this, the products I'm selling are mostly OUT OF STOCK! Not due to sold out but their restocking is too slow and too low. What do they expect me to promote? My ASS FLESH? I'm not sure if it's the company or the outlet's management that I'm working in has problem ordering goods. or it's just their lousy system. This does not apply to the product I'm promoting but others as well. Their shelves are always full with empty spaces. According to other promoters who worked at other branches before did not experience the same problem as this. I told my agent about it and I hope they will bring this matter up to the client. The good news is, yesterday I was told to do another extra 2 weeks.. *smiles* but bad news for my feet. By the way, my legs and heels weren't that painful as weeks go by which means that they are getting fitter!

Being a loyal customer of Sakae sushi, as predicted, I visited the KLCC branch after my work on Sunday. Dave and I thought of trying out the new outlet and so we did. I would say the food was quite similar to other outlets. Only the portion and food presentation varies.

A different layout - more like Japanese style


Dave in stripes


Forget me, I want to stress on the length of the salmon.
It's longer and slightly thicker - yummy!~


Their signature logo at the back


I love their not-too-bright environment

On Monday night, Dave and I went to watch this:

Eagle Eye (taken from Wikipedia)
It was a great movie..to me of course.

Yesterday was one of the boring days. I went to pyramid to get Kaka's food then I went window shopping before going home with nothing but a packet of dog biscuits.

Guess what, I was still typing this post when I saw this baby girl..she's so cute, with deep-set eyes and rosy cheeks. She attracts me to take her pictures. Very few cases where I am attracted to babies. She has the aura ^^. She was brought to Dave's shop by a customer a.k.a. the baby girl's babysitter.

Look at her rosy chubby cheeks


She looks abit annoyed here, maybe she doesn't like her pictures to be taken


I look like a hamster..omg.. she's facing downwards


So another picture was taken..
This customer happens to be a friend of Dave's mom. She told me that this babysitter do let babies (under her care) sip beer/wine. This way, the babies won't be too noisy. I wonder if her rosy cheeks are due to alcohol reaction? Tsk..Tsk.. Tsk.. On top of that, she's quiet too. Maybe that's why I like this baby. Hahaha, Sonia, I don't need to strangle babies anymore.. alcohol is the solution! JK JK!

I like...

Changes

Hello peeps!!!

I'm still kinda tired from yesterday's work but I'm still in the mood to change my blog's layout. This is because last night, Sonia sent me some templates which were wonderful. However they are either too small for my entries or something's not right. So, I continued the search for another which is this current layout. I hope it's comfortable to look at but I'll still update my layout from time to time. Again, I would like to thanks Sonia for the inspiration to change my blog's layout *giggles* She too has changed hers.

Nothing much happened during work but sales was slightly better than previous week. Good news? Maybe not.. this means I have another week or two of work.. maybe? Who knows what the future holds. I had Mel visiting me on Saturday and Pui Yen on Sunday. Thanks babes... I do appreciate you both coming but I was too tired to go around with you both so we just sat and chatted while I was having my break.

This is what me and Dave had for dinner when he came to fetch me from work.

I had Black Bean Chicken Rice (at KLCC 4th food court; Little Wok)


Dave had Mushroom Chicken Rice
