Dior Addict Lip Glosses- My Collection

So here we are at our Friday Lippy post again.
Today i'm showcasing my Dior Addict Lip Gloss Collection. As you can see, I'm a great fan of Dior Lippy!
Of course, I did not get them on regular etail price. (except for the lipstick on the far left which I bought or rather hubby bought for me normal price. Ouch.. About RM70 i think)

The others are all from the Dior warehouse sale I manage to go to last year. Sadly I missed this year's sale. Else, there will definately be more than 7 in the pic! :)

The one on top is not a gloss, its a lipstick. The thing i love most about it is the casing!! sooooooo gorgeous and classy. Its still brand new and i havent tried it on yet, but its light pink but ultra shimmery with shinyshinys. Good for disco i guess, that explains why its still untouched, I couldnt figure out when to use it. Among all I used the color gloss on the right the most. Its pink too, and the second would be the one on the lowest bottom. Its cherry translucent gloss. Lovely shimmers.
I haven't tried the blue and purple gloss!! haha....I have no idea why I bought them either. I just grab all available colors. But the gold one is really good. I put on my maybelline watershine lippy I recently bought in "hazelnut sauce" and added the gold gloss over it. Wow....dazzling effect........I look like the Dior J'Adore print ad !!! hehe...
Oh ya, I lost my most favouritestttttt Dior Plastic Gloss Lippy (yup the one i showcased before). It was and is still my favourite because I love the color. I haven't the slightest idea where it went!! Must have slipped from my bag. arggh....and I forked RM72 for It!! My OWN Money and not even halfway finish!! Oh well, I'd probably get myself a replacement one of these days. :)
Refer to my OLD Post on this.

Welp, that wraps up my Friday Lippy Talk!!
Have a Great Weekend Folks!!!
And those in Singapore....its shopping time!!! Shop tip you drop my friends!!!

Old Folks Home

The Queen visited the Old Folks Day Care centre in Cheras reported The Star today.
Seems that she is pleased with it and also impressed with the facilities provided.

The particular news had me remembering the time when I had a chance to visit the old folks home back during schooldays in my hometown. I couldn't say the same as the Queens finding. It was horrible. Horrible horrible sight and saddening I must say. And I wasn't impressed. Couldn't sleep for days.

I've always had a soft spot for the elderly. I don't know why, but perhaps because of how I saw my mom cared for my late grandma and how I was too involved in taking care of my aging grandma that had my heart tugging for the oldies.

I was a member of the Interact club so we organized a visit to the Old Folks home for one of our activities. If my memory serves me well, it was a government run home for the old and homeless. Before we even arrived, I braved myself for the worst....not expecting anything pleasant at all.

We were brought to visit all the places. The compound was rather big, but there were nothing much to see really. The surrounding of the place looks like an old worn-out school. The old people sleep in single beds in a line, much like a dormitory. The male at one place and the female another.

We were warned and foretold beforehand to becareful as "some" of the male inhabitants were rather "gatal" while some are a little schizophrenic so we kept our distance throughout. hehe...it was funny though the rumours were indeed true. 1 of our Interactors almost got "touched" and a group of us almost got beaten up by this grumpy old man who kept talking to himself. Some of the old people we met were kind and truthful, they told us the TRUTH that their children dumped them there and couldnt be bothered to visit them. Some shed tears because they told us that they missed their children and family but have no idea where are they and that they haven't came to visit since Chinese New Year couple years back. It was sad........ a friend of mine who was a real softly couldnt compose herself she practically sobbed all the way.

I too couldn't bare to witness the sight, and the most gruesome thing I witness that made such a impression on me till today is what I saw with my own eyes at how the elderly was being "cleaned".
I peeked into 1 of the dormitary where the ladies sleep. 1 Old lady just pass motion I suppose and the "helper" that was assigned to clean them up just put her on the floor, YES THE FLOOR!!!! and she splashed water all over the poor grandma!!! Just like washing a dog!!!! Oh my goodness.......I was utterly disgusted!!! but helpless....I shed a tear there and then..........sighed a great sigh.......goodness.....They clean her right on the floor beside her bed!!!! And by just splashing water again and again and again over her........Just like how you wash your toilet!!!!
sigh...........That sight lingered in my mind for days playing over and over and over like a broken record. I couldnt shrug it off. It was just horrible!

Though we brought food and goodie bags for them, I think we could do more because I could clearly see some of their face light up when there are visitors because clearly they were bored and lonely.

Well the trip was truly an unforgettable experience for me and I hope I manage to get across to you people how "ugly" it is in the Old Folks Home and not all are "impressive".

Though yes not all care centres are like that, perhaps the private ones are good and at least threats the old people like human. But, I hope that people will reconsider sending their aged parents to the Old Folks Home because well........it is just very pathetic.......... Besides, there is no place like home.



PS. I'm putting this story here so that hopefully when people google "old folks home" (especially those who's looking for 1 to put their parents- shame on you) will end up here in my post and read about it before they make such a decision and think again. Cheers!!

PPS: I have no objection to Old Folks Daycare because.....just like the nursery, you just send them over for the day while you work and pick them up after work. Thats great, at least the old folks have some companion througout the day when you're at work.

Offended or not?

I have no qualms that my status as jiejie(sister) will immediately be elevated to "auntie" once I got married. It's not just in the looks ya see......but I noticed that many parents have no idea what is best for their kids to address me. First it is because I "look" like a jiejie but I AM an Aunty because I'm married.

I have no problem having people calling me aunty (so far thank goodness only those below age 10 calls me that, with the exception of my REAL nephews and nieces whom are like over 20 now! heh). I feel honored for the status upgrade, no doubt.

But one thing that I'm uncomfortable with is during situations when both me + SIL are together.
SIL is not married, but is pretty Old already la. Then when the parents asked their children to address me as Aunty....and then when they address SIL oh they immediately ask the children to call her "jiejie" and chided them if they call her aunty.....they always say "oh....this wan is jiejie.....not married yet cannot call aunty" Normally because they don't want the old spinster to feel offended la.... ughh.... yucks..... who the hell is the one who started this nonsense of a de-facto?? I mean. She is SO OLD that when we went shopping together the salesgirl thought that she is MY mother!!!! much to her horror......but to my delight.....*smirk smirk*
Don't want to offend them you say?? well halloooo?? who's offended here having your kids calling the next person who is like almost 2 decades older than you JieJie and You - Aunty??!!! Oh and not forgetting that the OLD spinster is probably OLDER than herself-The Mother.

Anyway coming back to the defacto...I mean,are you sure that we are suppose to call those unmarried ladies jiejie untill they are all wrinkles and crinkles? If an old pohpoh (grandma) is 70 and still not married, do we still call her jiejie or Aunty or Pohpoh?? Or all OLD spinster are to jump from jiejie status to Pohpoh status without ever being Aunty status because Aunty is for the married??

I think the socio-de-facto standard is rubbish. Those cross 30 should deal with the fact that they are no longer in the brim of their youth. They have crossed over.

I feel that anyone that is above 30 should automatically become aunty irregardles. Period. And in conclusion, you can still call me Jiejie. ThankewSpankew.

Incentives for marrying and converting orang asli?!!!!!

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/6/27/nation/14660015&sec=nation

I'm so sorry my fashionista. As much as i like to blog only about fashion and fashion alone, I can't help but also write about things that are dear to my heart. In this case, local news are too.
Don't get my wrong, I do not like politikus so much but stuffs like this really make me fume!!!


I Quote below for your view....[WARNING: please take a deeeeep breath before reading] :

" KELANTAN will offer RM10,000 to each Muslim preacher who marries an orang asli woman and naturally converts her as part of renewed efforts to propagate Islam among the 3,000-odd community in the state.
................
Besides the monetary incentive, the preachers would also receive free accommodation, a four-wheel-drive vehicle and a fixed monthly allowance of RM1,000. "



Initially I have alot to say.....
But now, I'm just speachless.
I leave the bashing to all my commentors.....

sigh....Just to push you into commenting....
If 1 preacher can marry 4 wives.
4 x RM 10,000 = RM 40,000
And RM1,000 x 4 (per month) = RM 4,000/month

oh wow.....The preacher can make "Marrying an Orang Asli" into a career.


My nostrils are FLARING.......Please help me Breathe
Ms.Fashionasia pulls hair *pull pull*
*throw both hands up*.....I give up........

God.Help.This.Country

Stagnant Savings...why oh why?

I realize that my savings have been rather stagnant for a long time. I wonder why is that so, is it because of my uncontrollable spending? or iz it my couldn't care less attitude in forking out my money? Its not like i'm little-miss-generous or something. I mean, i'm not trying to win some noble prize but i do realize that i have a perhaps "bad" habit in spending.

I'd like to list down the possiblities of the reason for my not-being-able-to-save-much, here goes:

1. I couldnt be bothered to calculate the cents. Everything is a round figure to me.

2. I like to pay for others and i don't like to and will not collect money from people. So it pretty much depends on the other person if they would wanna pay me back. Else it'll totally be forgotten the next minute.

3. Increase in expenses. (both household! gasps!!) I like to pay for my parents because it makes me feel so "adult". I feel so grown up being able to pay for my parents and also the spending of my parents in-law. So besides providing household expenses, I also pay for their car maintenance (well at least partly because I can claim a certain amount frm my company but not all).

4. I INCREASE my household contribution to my parents dispite having NO increase in my salary. Why oh why am I such a good daughter.

5. The hubby earns far far far farrrrr more than I do so thats a consolation I guess. But the hubby is the kinda that is quite straight forward. If i ask him for money, he'll surely give...sometimes he'll give more than i deserve but then again, being on a payroll, I do not feel nice asking hubs for money. I'm just never good at asking. Even during meals just the two of us, i'd gladly whip out my purse in a flash to pay for meals. I don't know why I do that either. Its heriditary, I took after my mums giving heart.

6. I do not keep track of where my money goes to.

7. Credit card is EVIL.


etc...etc...

OK, thats enough for now....From today onwards, I will try my best to keep track of WHERE my money goes....and start saving!! Hopefully I will.......er......after i buy the MaryJanes sneakers I saw in Sketches butique??! heh.... :P Rite...

Flowers and Ribbons makes Ms.Fashionasia happy!!!

Just showcasing some pretty things and inspirational findings I happen to find while on-line window shopping.
Ms.Fashionasia just loves flowers and ribbons!! ya' think?!!

Anyway, The weekend was pretty tiring but blissful. Went shopping at 1Utama and got myself some loot from STUDIOS. Namely a carry on bag and 2 pairs of sandals. Yey!!! I took the pics but its in my camera. Will try n show you when i load them on my pc.


[post below shifted to a new post]

If I have a prom to go to, this would make my PERFECT PROM DRESS......YupTHE DRESS

LAUREN BY RALPH LAUREN Buzby Linen Dress
Price: $159.00
Sale: $119.99


And the PERFECT VERA WANG Sandals to go with it!!

Price: $216


Ya know, its kinda sucky that I've NEVER been to ANY PROM before!!!
Yup...Thats right. Not a single PROM ok?!!
Now before you start judging that this Ms.Fashion must be a total introvert and anti-social...blablabla.... Hold your horses. Its not like that at all.
Heck I would've been the first to arrive if there WAS any prom at all in the first place, and I'd probably stand a good chance of begging the title Prom Queen.(ya right, as if..hehe)
The thing is, we don't have any prom at all in our school during MY days upon graduation. Our celebration normally takes place at the beach with BBQ's and guitar strumming and singing songs, playing cards..etc. But nope...no prom.Though luck.

Sigh...
There were Proms every year during College years though.

And of course I was asked to be the date of the night(s) but....nope..did not make an effort to go. I guess it all boils down to the crowd, and the people you go with. You see, I was never very close to any of my college buds. I only have 4 best friends. Others are hi and bye friends. It would be totally different if I was to attend Prom night with my highschool friends though. I would have enjoyed myself thoroughly, because these people are my bestest of buddies for manymanymany years. Even till now. I guess I never actively participated in any of the activities in college because I was busy judgling between my studies and my part-time job.

Ah well, those were the days. Though I never had a chance to wear any prom dresses......At least I gotta wear a pretty gown during my wedding eh??? And technically speaking, I was "Queen" of the day!! Right...... :>

Gucci, Prada and other designer sales from Amazon

Been Over at Amazon.com and oogling over some Gucci stuffs. Below are some findings that I find myself attracted to.






GUCCI Shoes Black Patent Leather High Heel Sandals Pumps - Jade Boutique
List Price: $510.00
Amazon Price: $357.00

[Ms.Fashionasia absolutely love the side profile of the pumps]



Next up is the Gucci Women's Wraparound Ankle Thongs. I like the wraparound. Very ballet like but its a thong!
List Price: $395.00
Amazon Price: $199.89


Also, i find myself liking this Gucci Logo Peek-a-boo-toe pump. I find it very classy and suitable for work. However its unavailable now thus no price details.



So apart from Gucci, I also check out the sales section and found some other cool stuffs at reasonably low prices. Like for example this Prada Purse. OK, normally I dont like Prada because i think its overrated. The designs are bleerghh and there are wayyyyy too many fake ones around that even if I bought an Original Prada, people will still think that I bought them from Petaling Street because yes, they are THAT good (imitations I mean).


Why i like this is because it is accented with metallic silver piping and lining. I can't resist anything in Black+Silver (see pic #1)
List Price: $359.00
Amazon Price: $119.89


Oh and Ralph Lauren sneakers going for only USD 39!!! (normal price USD 89)



3 lovely colors to choose from. I think its a good bargain for a running shoe.


And for those going to the beach. (hey Tuk@shoppingKL this is for you).
This is the absolute perfect Pareo to hide the (slight) bulges!!

Ralph Lauren Tropical Pareo. Only at USD 14.98 from the normal price of USD 44!!


OK, I'm still looking at the lovely items but i guess thats enough for the blog for now. Blogger is not behaving and I dont want to risk loosing a long post.
Thats all now. Cheerios!!

Beethoven.com

Sometimes when I feel stressed. I like to listen to classical music.
Now, I'm not a hardcore classical music person. I can't differentiate between Mozart and Chopin and whatever not. But......I love music, particularly soothing piano playing; the flute and violin.

At work, when i feel stressed. I used to turn to an Internet radio chanel at Oregonlive.com (AllClassical 89.9FM)
However, the playlists are sometimes too loud for my liking. Recently i've discovered this site Beethoven.com and I absolutely am hooked !!

This morning I just listened to the most beautiful rendition of Improvision of the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars I've ever heard!!! Its very soothing to listen to the classical music as appose to loud yakking, endless adverts and yucky songs that typical radio station offers.

Ms.Fashionasia gives 2 thumbs up to Beethovan.com!!
Definately good stuffs for the stressful Malaysians.
Cheerio!!

Gimme Some Sugar That Won't Disintegrate

[This is a cuff bracelet from mightyflirt.com. I think all Malaysians need to get this cool bracelet.]


Its a domino effect I tell ya...
Be still my wallet......
First is the petrol......
Then came the electricity....
Soon after we suffer shortage of Sugar.....
Was told that Government to study Petronas’ plea for gas price increase
Rice is gonna be really dear too come october......

EVERYTHING going up!!!!! except for my measely salary lahh....
I WANT TO MIGRATE!!!!!



To top it up, shopping is not safe anymore

Ms.Fashion Question: Why izzit that the Newspaper never mention WHICH shopping mall is it? The public have the right to know. We need to safeguard ourselves. Besides, they reported the Canny Ong case was in Bangsar Shopping Centre, Then the other girl shop owner case in TheCurve (last year i think). So now the stewardess case EVERY newspaper is just saying that its a shopping mall at "damansara". Hello?? Have you seen the Selangor map?? HALF of Selangor is named Damansara Something or Something Damansara ok!!!!!


[Updated] Ms.Fashion says, Song of the Day : "I Will SURVIVE" sing it with me now ladies.

How much is too much really?

I was shellshocked when a friend told me that she is seeing someone more than 20 years senior.
I was tight-lipped when my opinion was saught as I really don't know whats the right answer. Yes? No? Maybe? I dont know.
But my rationale came as, as long as both individual have no issues with each other, and most importantly receives the blessing of both the parents. I dont see why not. Other "pat kong" and "pat poh" kepohchees can go poke their noses somewhere else. This is because relationship as such will definately be a hot issue for gossips.

I know examples like Catherine Zeta Jones er...who else? ummm....oh yah.. Siti Nurhaliza?!!
and then......ok i dunno already. But i do know some perfectly married couples that the wife are like 8 years older?? And they have pretty children too.

Personally I don't find age is an issue. My own age-gap difference is quite significant too (as compared to the norm) and we have no problem whatsoever. However 20 over years is really alot!! Imagine when you're in your thirties and looking great...and your significant other is like...60?? gosh....thats too much for me. I can't handle that. Its like dating your own father. :P
I donno ...what do you think?

8 attributes

aiyoo.... Mr.Desi the poet tagged me! eh....I dont use SmartTag anymore la weiiii....I use Touch&Go now!!
Btw Desi did his meme supersplendidtastically!!!! Mrs.Desi sure is a lucky women. So lomantik!!! :> hehe

Anyway, Ms.Fasheoon frm Milano is.....
Very the stress.

When i get tagged ....its very stressful. Feels like going back to school again...

OK....so i'm suppose to list down 8 attibutes or qualities i seek in a lover.

When I answer questions, i make sure i read and double read the questions. Cant' help it, its a habit from schooling days, mom drills us to make sure that we understand the questions fully before we even attempt to answer any.
Soooo...in this context. "Lover" may not exactly mean the traits that you're looking for in a spouse . I was purturbed by that word and so i asked dictionary.com

lover

n 1: a person who loves or is loved 2: an ardent follower and admirer [syn: fan, buff, devotee] 3: a significant other to whom you are not related by marriage

ah?? a significant other to whom you are not related by marriage????? <--- how can??
So it means something more of a sexual kind??

OK, tell you what.....Lets just forget the definition. Its not exam anyway so there are no wrong answers here...only REAL answers.
I'd take the question as "what i look for in my significant other" in that sense. So that you'd know.


Lets see what i can come up with now:

1. Highly Intellactual
I look up to men with brains. And its good to have someone I can go to for answers. And i'd be all dreamy doe eyed admiring him while he unfolds the answer to my problems...

2. Street Smart
When i say intellactual it does not mean PhD holder smart. I know lots of people who are booksmart with dozens of A's but totally suck at handling work. My guy have to be smart streetwise.

3. Wicked sense of humour
Laughter is the best medicine so they say?? Of course a joker like me needs a jester for a pal. I'm pretty good at cracking joke actually. Hubby is good at cracking lame jokes *rolls eyes* So he's my jester.

4. Stronger than me
I need someone that will be able to carry me If i happen to faint. kekeke.... Hubby can do that. Strong man he is.... Oh wait...that was when i was 10kgs lighter!! :P

5. Protector
Will not let anyone hurt me.

6. Spiritually stable
Able to tell me off if i've not been praying and pull me back if so happen that i'm swayed over to the dark side somehow

7. Provider
Able to provide for the family and put food on the table. Err.....thats my job but at least will be able to provide some love to the family.

8. The owner of this rib-i-seek (Rib Eye Steak?! kekeke)
self explainatory


So boring??!! aiyaa.......should tag me when I was 16 ok!! Can give you powderful wonderful stoopidful answers like ..... "Must have big blue dreamy eyes with double eyelids" or "Can sing like Andy Lau and act like chow yong fatt" kinda answers!!! But i'm wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy pass that phase already hor....... NEXT PLEASE?!

Bracelet turn Anklet

I noticed that I havent been posting my jewely collection for quite a bit now.

I attribute that to my lack of time, and lack of stock. Need to replenish my materials as stock is running low and I havent been making pretty bling-blings since like......April?
I hope to be able to make some time this Saturday to make some lovely bracelets because so far I've only have 2. And the 3rd one was suppose to be a bracelet but ended up as an anklet due to my misjudgement of the length....teeehe....

Thus my very first handmade anklet was born. tahdahhhh

Attire Satire, Desire Perspire

Satire -- My new favourite word


"Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own"--Johathan Swift

Do you trust your husband?

I was having some "si lai" chatting session with a female friend the other day and as usual we'd talk about shopping and work and husbands.....

So I happen to mention about the hubby sometimes need to travel overseas and she got this worried face on her when I mention that.
So she asked me if I "trust" my husband to go on business trips?
I said yes of course. Don't you??
She gave me an answer thats worth some thought. She said that yup she trust her husband fully.....but she dont trust other WOMEN.

I do understand what she is getting at. Married men somehow seems to be more desirable with their greying hair that portrays their wisdom and a fluffy wallet that spells out their wealth. And besides, married men are better at handling women and they know how to please them and are more tactful with words. Therefore women like to prey at these men.

The question is, how to keep your man loyal and faithful? Frankly, i dont think so there is an answer to that. The only one that have the powers to control them are the Almighty and his grace in abundance. But my take is that in order to be a good wife, a women should shrug off her Queen control nature. Women by default are possesive in nature and are control freaks.I see this as a total turn-off and will cause the man to want to "break-free". Therefore even before I got married, i've been very conscious over my actions and reactions in our relationship. I'm thankful that im not domineering by nature, nor am i impulsive. I'm quite demure in making decisions and I remain my calm when i sense a tense moment. Most of the time i'd just keep my mouth shut whenever i know i did something wrong, or rather when he thinks that i did something wrong. :P I may not agree with him all the time, but i'd just play along and say ok to whatever he wants.
So inferior meh??? So what? no face? come-on.... Just because i'm docile does not make me lesser of a women.

Im my 7 years of relationship, we've probably only have like 3 heated arguements that had tears streaming down my cheeks?? And frankly i couldn't even recall what was it about and when was the last time we argue over something. I'd say that is quite a good record isnt it? Of course i know its not entirely my part to play. Besides, It takes two to tango. Thus, I'm glad that the hubby is very understanding and basically knows when to pamper me like a princess and when to be the "head" and wear his pants. He is frankly, a great man whome I adore because he takes care of me well.

And of course, It helps that i married a geek. My only rival is probably the laptop!! :) I always tease him that his second wife's name is Compaq.

RM1.113b for the bridge, RM1.12b for no bridge

http://www.malaysia-today.net/Blog-e/2006/06/rm1113b-for-bridge-rm112b-for-no.htm

Wow...im begining to like this Malaysiatoday website.
Now i like politics as much as i like footy.... which actually means... :P not very much la....
but this hoohaa saga walawala bing bang bridge thingy is getting very interesting indeedy.

Actually I like Dr.M very much and I was as upset as Api Queen when he announced to step down. But then I couldnt understand why he have been so harsh lately at Mr.PM.
Now I've actually been enlighten a whole lot after going through this website.

I do feel kinda kesian on the poor Mr.PM ....having recently loss the love of his life and now having to face so much oppression and family bashing ....If im in his shoes i'd probably sink deep into depression mode and eat myself silly and hope to choke on some bones .....etcetera etcetera ......

I do not deny the fact that Dr.M WAS a great leader. And i do not deny also the fact that Pak Lah would make a good leader one day (I still think that he needs to practice some kick @ss roaring skills and @ss whipping skills).

Now wouldn't it be great if both of these "few good men" here could kiss and make-up and "BERSATU-PADU" (work together) and plan out something good for the country? I mean we have 2 highly intelactual and capable person here who is wasting time counter-defend-counter-defend .... Such a waste of time and while the cats are fighting Lord knows who came out to play?? of course the little mousies taking full advantage and probably whip some good few hundred millions off the tax payers money while the Big Guns are busy fighting each other!!

Mabelline Water Shine Lipstick

Lipsticks again har??

Yalah.....Told you lipstick is my favourite make-up item!

So was over in Midvalleys for dinner yesterday. Though we were only there for dinner and not for shopping, I did not go shopping aside from getting some fresh juices from carrefour for the mini fridge.

Before we left for home, I stepped into Guardian pharmacy and was pleasantly delighted to find Water Shine Lipsticks frm Maybelline at RM14.88!!
I've always been a fan of the Water Shine range (but i dont like Watershine Diamonds. Me no likey)

I first tried on Water Shine lipsticks when i was looking for something in Pink couple of years ago. I had problem looking for the perfect pink shade then because the pinks that i tried were either too pale or too bright. Was really frustrated untill I found Maybelline Water Shine in Juicy Bubblegum pink. It was my favourite lipstick for a longgggggggggg time. I've even finish a whole tube and gotten myself a whole new tube! Now howmany of us have finished a whole tube of lipstick before it goes bad??!!! I know i haven't!! It was my first ever lipstick that I actually finished. And i liked it so much i got another to replace it. That is how much i liked Water Shine.

Sooooooooo, since it is only RM14,88. Regular price was at RM21.90. Long time ago i bought from Watsons at RM23.90. So it is really a good bargain now. I look for some shades that i like and ended up with 2. "Hazelnut Sauce" and the other "Brandy Rum". Contemplated if i should get another "Juicy Bubblegum" but held myself back because i still have 1, still new.

I tried the Hazelnut ....although it looked nice on the back of my hand, it look like shit on me. hehe....I look so pale!!! haiayaa...... i chose the wrong color.
But the Brandy Rum is a nice color. Perfecto.

Working from home

I woke up with a terrible headache today so i've decided to take a rest and then perhaps work from home.
I tried to sleep but just couldn't. The pain is unbearable so pop in 2 panadols and hope the pain goes away.

I think the panadol is working its magic now cos i feel much better. But i still have a tingling pain and nagging sore feeling around my neck. Gah.....what a way to start off the week.

I think i'm feeling intense pressure. Which explains the throbbing pain.
See i have just received a project, which is due end of the month. In which I have to get it going to meet the deadline but have not done anything yet.
Then i met up with another potential last week who needs a proposal ASAP and this one is a pretty huge project that would last me for 1 whole year. Very promising.
Then there is another really BIG corporation who finally is willing to meet up with us after my top-down approach that landed us in the position to do a presentation much to the delight of my big boss.

The amount of work and the pressure on me is suffocating. I'm feeling claustrophobic.
At times like this i wish to just shove a resignation letter to the CEO's face and say "Take That!! And look who's INCOMPETENT now??! HAH!!!!"
knowing very well that they'll totally be fish out of water if i'm not handling these accounts as I am the key contact person.

With all the effort i put in for my work. I dont think so i'd get an increment at all this year still.

GDrive Where Art Thou ?

Have you ever have this feeling that your laptop HDD is going to konk on you anytime?!
Well, I'm having "IT" now. THAT FEELING.

Sometimes it is not wise to ignore such feelings or so called intuition, 6th sense or whatever you call it. Because sometimes you'll only regret not taking heed of the subtle hints big Daddy up there shows you.

Soooo.....i thought of all my precious documents and whatnot I have within my 30G capacity and ONE thing that struck me is.... Gasp!!! My Wedding photo's!!! The thing about being the XGeneration (i think im xGen?!) is that we rely too much on technology. All things digital can be wiped out clean before you could say hakoonamatata. And THERE IS NO BACKUP!!! Holyschmolly!!!

And i have....after zipping em up.....all 394MB of them. Very precious pictures. No hardcopy no thing. No album (yet...pixart i am kambing).
Knowing that i'm such a procrastinator, i really need to find someplace to tuck a copy of these 394MB of my precious memories.

If you're saying no big deal ma just burn a CD.
No can do. Sorry the lappy got no CDRW. No big deal, copy into your thumbdrive ma you say??
Well, no cant do either.... My pink color lipstick look-a-like good for nothing thumbdrive is only 256MB and crash on me all the time-have-to-always-reformat *sweat* someone PLEASE remind me that not all things pretty are good. Especially not techy items!! Silly women me.

Hownowbrowncow???
The only virtual storage i could think of is yahoo briefcase. But that cannot do either cos its 30Mb Only.

Aiyoo...how har??

While i think about something....most probably sending them to myself via Gmail (gotta probably seperate them into like 50 emails cos cannot upload 394MG)
Google can you please work on GDrive...... pronto?? er......please? a pretty one with cherries!!!

Thirst for shopping quenched

Soooooo....nothing happened on 060606. Was there a rapture? hope not. If there was, why the heck am i still here.

Looks like its not the end of the world ........ yet. oh fiddledeedum, the world goes back to its rotating schedule.

I didnt manage to go shopping as i hoped for during the weekend. The hubby must have sensed my urge so he brought me shopping monday night at 1U. Such a darling he is.

Never felt so happy buying a dustbin before in my whole life! Well, hey at least i bought something!!! heh.....
And it is probably the most expensive dustbin i've ever bought in my entire life.
RM69.90 to be exact!!
But its those cool looking stainless steel dustbin.

Its similar to this one


However mine is square. Wow, i'm pampering even my trash!!!


Apart from that, jusco seems to be having alot of sales.
I manage to buy myself a piece of Baju Kebaya at 50%. I totally fell for the Kain Songket material although the top is just plain purple, the sarong is beautifoooool!!
Also got myself a pretty good bargain for 1 Cardigan and 1 baby-T both at 70% which equivelant to RM 8.70 each. How not to buy tell me!!!!!!

Btw, why is it that mother's day receive such great publicity but not father's day?
So bias. Without mom there is no you,without dad there is no you either.
Eventhough i normally don't celebrate any other 'days' except for birthdays, here's to all the fathers out there. Happy Father's Day!!!!

Grateful For You

Dearest Hubby,

You may not know this but I noticed.
I know that i'm sound asleep by 2am in the morning,
yet you're still working very hard on your trusted laptop.
I know I cant sleep if i you are not beside me,
but the sound of the click-a-click-a-tick of the keyboard,
seems to assure me that you are by my side.

At 3am, i toss and turn, i was awaken from my sweet slumber,
Blame it on the blood-sucker, the mean little vampires;
You know they're attacking me, for i was aware when you came over....
"My dear, go under the duvet" you whispered,
and i put my arms inside.
You sat beside me, doing nothing but wait,
You stared at me while i sleep, till the next strike from the blood-sucking machine,
You took them out when they tried to strike at me again,
Like a victor, you amid that heroic vibe,
once more your precious princess is inviolable.

You proceeded to reach for the trusted ointment,
mopiko it was, i recognize the scent,
you rub them on my arms i could feel the sting,
once more i slip into sweet slumber, and you went back to your click-a-click-a-tick;
I felt so loved and the wonderful feeling for being cared for,
much better than sweet dreams, much more than magical ponies;
I'm so grateful for you.


Love,

Your Wife

Lipstick of the day - Loreal Shine Delice

As you can see, I just love lipsticks. I have soooo many i don't even dare to count.

Today's lipstick is Loreal Shine Delice. The color is shade 215- Crispy Praline.

I don't know why its called "crispy" but anyway its like Nudish brown in shade.

The thing I like about Loreal Shine Delice is the fruity smell. It is by far the lipstick with the nicest smell I've come across!! Personally I have 2. Another is a shade of cherry red. Though i dont own much red lipsticks because yucky i just dont like red lipsticks! Anyhow this is not shocking red, its cherry. Very nice subtle red with shimmers.

Its pretty moist and can last quite a fair bit.
The only reason why i dont have MORE of it is the rather steep price of i dont know....above RM30?? Cant remember.


I think my pda pic is too blur. Here is a better image.

Other Random Stuffs:
----------------------------
On another note, i hope to be able to at least step into a shopping complex this weekend because seriously I'm beginning to shiver all over and getting all jittery because of being deprived of shopping for i dont even remember how long!!!!! Seriously i think i'm sort of addicted to shopping. I MUST BUY something because if i dont buy anything for a week, i get all quivery like a drug addict. hehe...
But....still......i manage to manuver my way to Alamanda for lunch last week before an appointment and I manage to tame my fetish by buying 2 pairs of shoes!! Yippiee... I also manage to satisfy my craving for KFC Hot and Spicy! oh yummmieeeeeeeee. The thing about being married into my hubby's family is that, they dont eat junk food! Its always and i mean ALWAYSSSSSSSSSS healthy meals like vege, fish, soup, all those proper proper chinese family meal. And even if we go OUT for food, we'd be having ..........Rice and ordering dishes. Boy i really miss hawker food and unhealthy junkfood stuffs like Satay!!!!

OK.....i think the PMS is coming because i suddenly have food cravings. AND a HUGE ZIT on my chin!! I'm too old for Zits ! sigh...

Have you ever scheduled an appointment without having the least idea what are you going to propose?

I Just did.

I randomly emailed some potential customers and received a respond from one of this huge entity. The Director told me to contact her PA to schedule an appointment.

I did that and fix an appointment next week.

The problem is, i have no idea what solution should I be proposing to them.

@@

Sometimes when you're desperate, you just charge-in. Do first, die later.
hehe.....So now I have approximately 1 week to come up with a proposal for some supposedly kick-ass, "one of a kind proposal that will make heads turn" <---exact words i used. hehe.....do i sound silly?? i sure do feel silly.

Sex for RM 3..... thats not even $1 blardee US dollars

Sex romps going cheap in Johor

"SEX for sale for as low as RM3 per session. China Press reported that this is the situation at a certain red-light district in Johor Baru, following keen competition among the women and transvestites there."

So cheap might as well give for FREE right??
Buy 2 free 1 also can.


This sentence really caught my attention

" The bolder ones, he said, carried out their “business” with equally bold clients in the dark alleys, oblivious to those who passed by. "


I suggest that before we start building any theme park in Johor. Can we clean up the mess first?
