0 passing rate?! Goodness gracious me

"An island school in Sabah has secured the dubious honour of getting a zero pass rate in the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) last year.

Twenty-four students of Sekolah Kebangsaan Pulau Mantanani sat for the Year Six examination last year. None passed. " --- thestar.com.my


I can't help but to comment on this piece of news today.
I can't help but laugh out loud when i read this article awhile ago.I know i may sound mean. I don't mean to redicule but i found the news really.......erm.......can't quite find the right word.......
outrageous????!!

0 (ZERO) passing rate???!!!! and not the first time!!!!?! goodness gracious me.
The poor kids, are they having the right teacher teaching them?? Though there maybe a public uproar about the remark of a MP on divorced women, i don't give a hoot. Its mere words and I'd rather channel my concerns over the poor childrens education than the verbal attack issue.

Its time like this that i wish my last name is Hilton. grr.....not that i WANT to be Ms.Paris....yucks....i cringe at that thought, but if i'm as rich as a hilton princess, then i don't have to work and i can channel more efforts in helping the poor and needy especially in the area of education. I must admit that sometimes i wish i can be a modern florence nightingale and just go out there and do something!!

We are already in year 2006, really its not that far away from 2020. And we still have schools with 0 passing rate??
I know the education ministry is getting quite a big chunk of money for the 9th Malaysian Plan and i do hope that something will be done for the poor children and no i don't mean providing them with computers and leave it at that. They need proper guidance and proper teachers.

Flowers In The Spring Theme Jewelry Set

When i feel down, i like to look at happy things that make me feel happy and all cheerie inside.
So since i've been rather down and posting some unpleasant news...i think my cheerful blog have somehow been covered in a shade of gray too. So to compensate and to counter the gloom, i thought id like to show you one of my bead creations inspired by cheerful and happy thoughts!!
I call them, My "Flowers in the Spring Collection".

Hope you like them as much as i do!! The bead is my favourite bead. Lovely flowers of yellow, blue and purple, with a dark purple backdrop.

You know that obesity is going to be a national issue when...

9 out of 10 pps pings are related to food

:P

Recently I had a chat with my business acquaintance. He is a wise senior malay chap, probably a Masters or PhD holder, being the head of an IT department.

He told me that while he was visiting china many years ago, to find a FAT person in China is like looking for a needle in the haystack. Every single person was so lean and fit. He attributed that to the habit and lifestyle of cycling everywhere.
However recently, obesity have become a big issue in China. People seem to think that it is due to the The increasing "Westernisation" of the country's diet. But i think my friend is right. Its the lack of excercise.


On another occassion when I was talking to a beautiful young lady entrepreneur from China, she told me that Malaysians are very very very particular about food. They can squat somewhere in the alley near the longkang just to have a bowl of the famous Curry fish head. Therefore being in the food business is not easy, because Malaysians really know their food well. I couldnt agree with her more and assured her that her food was nice, really. Its probably just the location.

Though proud that we have somehow made a name for Malaysia by being a place with delicious delicacies, i do hope that Malaysians do remember to exercise because we can't afford the Government to fork out some few millions for weight loss sessions to the rakyat due to obesity issues. We have far greater issues to address.

Sekian Terima Kasih.

Trapped In a Cacoon, trapped in Cancun?

I'm trapped in a cacoon,
I wish i'm trapped in cancun,
because at least i'm somewhere, at least not here.

Reading about the success and life of other makes me envy,
Wish i could turn back time,
I want to experience life independantly,
over the sea, UK, Australia or the US of A. It doesnt matter,
because at least i'm somewhere, at least not here.

Reading my daily emails,
A close bud persuing Ph.D,
In the UK she is now, many many years abroad;
Another friend too in the parts of the UK,
Picking baby scallops by the seaside.....and nursing a buldging tummy;
And yet another, though persuing the Masters degree, in Edinburge he is,
student by day, Jamie Oliver by night...
How i wish i'm one of them,
because at least i'm somewhere, at least not here.

But when I gaze over my shoulders,i see my dearest hubby,
far away in the land of slumber;
A warmth i feel, a sense of belonging,
strange it seems how good the heart felt ,with the sound of his snoring,
I feel contented, gratified, satisfied......

because at least i'm somewhere, at least i'm here......

200Million Dollar Prison? whoa?? cells made of gold izzit?

" KUCHING: Delayed for nine years and only 40% completed despite RM200mil having been spent by the Government, the prisons complex project here is an example of what the Prime Minister will not tolerate in the Ninth Malaysia Plan..... " --- Thestar.com 19th April 2006


Lately i've actually been taking interest of the things going on nationally(i guess desi can be contagious) and taken up a little more time to read thestar on national issues. The post about the 200 million dollar prison really make me sick.

Dahlah the gomen approved of 200million dollars to construct a PRISON. Then after almost a decade of CONstructing, it is still only 40% done and the money gone. How come???? How can???? How on earth??? how how how ??????

If you're constructing a 5star Hotel the likes of a mini El Burj, perhaps you may need that much of money to make toilet bowls from gold. But this is a prison for chickens sake!!! Unless you want to make the cell from Gold?? OR our country need a highclass prison to cater for highclass convicts. I mean..........

like duh?!?!!!?!?!!!

ok....im lazy to whine........i just need to get it out of my system.
hehe.....

Friday already?? hurrey!!!

VO5 Shampoo and Conditioner

2 Saturdays ago, I finally went for a haircut. It was a brave move as I finally decided to have my Repunzel-length hair cut and at the same time to do somesort of treatment.

I cant' emphasize enough that hair treatment is very important to keep one's hair healthy and in good condition. I normally have mine done every quarter. But if you got the loot then a monthly treatment is desirable.

I havent have my hair cut differently since at least 5-6 years ago. That was a pretty long time sticking with the same hairstyle and length. The reason i finally brave myself to have it done differently is because of the scary amount of hair loss i've been suffering lately.

I must say i was rather satisfied with the outcome. I still have long hair now but it only reaches the brastrap, unlike previously where it touches the bum. Thats a whole lot of hair gone!! aduh sayang......
Plus, i also had it layered quite a fair bit so the head feels rather light now.

After spending a good RM265 on my hair......yes i did 2 form of threatment besides the cut....and 3 whole hours in the saloon!! heehe........ The stylist told me that i have to get myself a good branded shampoo and then introduced me to some saloon shampoo that cost almost another 200 bucks....er....Sorryla i'm not interested. Too $$$$

However, i've decided that i need a good shampoo to maintain the shin and bounce from the threatment and so i got myself a VO5 from Watsons.

I didnt' see the Volume Boost one, if i had i would have gotten that one.

I got both the shampoo and conditioner. Its nice, the smell is lovely and i'm seeing much improvement in my hair condition. Plus, it is not very expensive. Although it IS about double the price of a sunsilk. :>

There is a reason why we hold hands

Quote from TheStar.com

"On April 4, the Federal Court ruled that the KL City Hall had the authority to enact bylaws to prosecute people for indecent public behaviour.

The Federal Court made this decision when hearing the appeal by two university students who challenged the power of local authorities to enact such bylaws under the Local Government Act 1976 after they were summoned for allegedly behaving indecently at the KLCC Park in 2003.

However, the court also ruled that it would be up to the magistrate hearing the case to decide if hugging and kissing constituted indecent behaviour.

The case is still pending.

Following the Federal Court ruling, several parties including the Bar Council and the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) wanted the authorities to come up with a clear definition of indecency if there was to be legislation on it. "



Fashionasia Says:


Dear Gomen,

I sincerely like to appeal to you to reconsider categorizing "holding hands" as part of indecency.
I am not against prosecuting acts of indecency in public. Indecency like french kissing or hugging or brushing against each other in public or touching and grobing or even BJ while driving(hey these people are hazardous to the public). I respect that decision because i also think that too much show of public affection makes me want to puke! I sokong you on this.

However, please please do reconsider "holding of hands" because i truely truely feel that it is NOT indecent at all.

I remember when I was in primary school, 1 of the classes that i enjoyed the most is probably during pendidikan moral. Once-a-while the teacher will decide to let us watch a video (those of moral value kind la). Then we will have to adjourne from our class to the school library where the TV and the VCR was.
To prevent us from going astray, we were to line-up. Boys 1 line and girls another. Then we were instructed to "hold hands" while walking to the library. Much to our disgust!! hey girls and boys were enemies then. Some held hands willingly, swinging back n forth..........some a little unwillingly so the hands were merely "touching"......some only held out their index finger to the other species. Haha...everyone was so innocent and cute.

Well, the reason behind the teacher asking us all the hold hands wasnt to promote love or indecency at all!! It was merely to prevent us from going astray, or fall-down.

The point i'm trying to make and emphasize here is the REASON behind holding of hands.

Yes, being a couple I do like to hold hands when i go out with my better-half. No not because i want people to see how loving we are as a couple, nor do i need to exclaim to others that hey lookey here we are a couple! Nor do we do that to express our love towards one-another. Basically We hold hands for the same 1 reason.

1. He doesnt want me to fall
2. I dont want to fall

YES. You heard right. I am confessing to you MR.Gomen that i am Ms.CLUMSY and i am ALL TOES (as in all thumbs). Yes I fall down easily and i Can't help it!!! I'm sorry!!! I dont know why, but i suspect it is because of the way my feet is being constructed to be too narrow to hold and balance my bodyweight. I normally held on to the MR. tightly and then i will feel safe to walk. Slowly It have become a habit. I must hold on to him if we are out walking together. Else i feel tipsy. Oh boy you wouldnt know the number of times the hubby saved me from slipping or falling flat on my face.

So i'm petitioning that holding-of-hands stays. I guess i need it to keep my two front teeth?
So who's with me?

Signed,
Ms.Fashionasia


ps. okla, i think holding of hands will still stay la .....Mr.Gomen not that crazy.......but hugging n kissing is what they need to define. This is because hugging is a customery action for some but a taboo to some.....So it is quite difficult to draw a line. But oh well, lets just see what happens.

Expression T-Shirts! I love em!!

I really like witty wordy T-shirts I don't know why, it just puts a smile on my face, or perhaps it opens up opportunity for conversations with total strangers. heh......

Was shopping recently i cant remember was it at FOS or Rejectshop but i saw this baby-T that i almost get because of the words on it.

It reads " Watch your step, you might fall for me"
hehehe......i thought it is smart n witty .....
oh and there's another one.... "Think Single"
hehe.....anyway i didnt get it in the end because I thought the hubby might not like it. :>
But seriously expression T-shirts are akin to bumper stickers, causes people to check-you out. I think its fun and single men or women should get them. They're cool. Wearing them is like screaming hey look no futher, im here and i know you want me!

Was over at Beverly's site and was introduced to SnobWear

These are some that i really like :












Love love love it!!! Now where can i get these in Malaysia????
hm....i saw something over at F.O.S that goes something like "Voted best kisser by your boyfriend" <----er dont really like this type though. Too slutty.

Water Under The Bridge

Is a face a face without a nose?
Is a nose a nose without a bridge?

Water under the bridge so they say.
Bridge? What bridge?

Clinique Moisture Sheer Lipstick SPF 15

Friday is a day where I normally dress down to the minimum. Semi-Casual I'd say as our company do not practice Casual Friday like we use to in the past due to some recent management decision.

However, semi-casual is acceptable. I guess as long as we're not wearing jeans.
I like to dress up for Friday. Perhaps dress-down is more apt in this context. My friday dresscodes are usually like this. Entirely depending on howmuch time I have and what time i wake-up. :>

If i wake-up real early, I like to wear slip on dresses. 1 piece, flirtly skirts, or flowery. Semi-casual, if need be, just put on a blazer and you look chic n formal.

If i wake-up late late late....I'll just grab the company-T and put on my casual slacks or draw-string pants. I like my 3/4 gaucho pants from Urban&Co. Its pinstrip formal designs on a gaucho makes it acceptable as formal but yet still can look casual at the same time.

Sometimes i do feel like covering my legs. hehe....over expose is not
good!! especially when u know its time for *cough*shaving*cough*..... Then i'll just put on a cotton top, matched with either my long wrap-around batik skirt or my long gypsy skirts. I love it cos you feel very comfortable in them, unlike the usual powersuites you wear on the rest of the days.

Ok now i think im straying off topic. hehe...If u see my title, i'm suppose to talk about my Clinique lipstick.
Well, this one is my favourite Friday lippy. Why izzit a friday lippy? Well cos normally the make-up stays at a minimum on Fridays for me. Sometimes i even skip the blush altogether. My friday lippy are normally Nude colors. Like in this case its called "Pi
nk charm". au'naturale color with a tint of pink.

I'd recommend this lippy because I totally like the feel of it on the lips, plus the SPF15 makes it even more covetable as a lipbase. Protecting your lips frm the blazing sun. The slim n slick design is great as it can fit into the tiniest purse.

This is my clinique lipstick.
Been using this for like 3-4 years already! I'm suprised it havent reach the end yet. :>

I don't know why but i have these words ringing in my head.
No, its not the exact words used, though I do feel that these words are at the tip of his tounge.
I couldnt sleep for the pass few days, i guess just felt useless.......

It was a holiday yesterday, thank god (pardon the pun) for that! i really needed it.
I wasnt even aware of the holiday untill monday ........seee i work so hard i don't even noticed the holiday??? i guess sometimes sacrifices is just not enough. Money Talks. Period. And being in the sales line, $$$$$ is your lifeline, figure(as in number not your body shape) is the last thread of hope. Its tiring when the product is not selling like it use to and its not helping that opensource being free sprouting everywhere. We do have numbers but the boss have bigger numbers in mind. he have a great appetite. You know la typical chinamen.

I think i want to retire from sales. i'd like to do something more into PR and Communications. Wouldnt that be nice? Liase with media, keep the smiles, write speechess....hey I can do that. Best of all, performance is not measured by numbers.

sniff sniff.....and my fingers stinks. Smells like onion. heh.......must be from yesterdays cooking.

Take away 1 Bruised Ego please?

Went to the battle fully armed with shining armour.
Came back battered, lost and lonely with a bruised ego.
How can my full proof business plan shatter within minutes of conversation by mere flipping of pages.
He did not even read the damn thing.

the heart. Its sore.

the underlinks....they have it too easy. they have no idea how cruel and monsterous upper management can be.......


sniff sniff

its alrite if you dont understand. You wouldn't. I'm just broken. my pride. my confidence......its a million pieces.
there's a tugging pain.
though i may seem tough outwardly, inside i just want to cry. I bit my tounge and held back the tears. Brave thyself my poor poor self. do not be weary, just pick up the pieces. pick them all up. a million of em. just pick them up. sigh.

Make-up classes in PJ

My dear fellow readers,

I would say that make-up is essential to bring the best in you, therefore make-up skills should be learnt and put into practice. Hey you dont just buy an eyeshadow pallete and start painting your eyelids with rainbow color...spit spot and out you go okay.....It is not that easy.

Plus, putting on eyeshadow needs some skills if you dont want to look like a clown. Serious, if i havent been through make-up lessons, i wouldnt think so that way but after I've actually learnt and pick-up make-up skills from some fashion guru's (some 8 years ago), i wouldnt have learnt all the tricks to make your nose sharper, eyes wider, cheekbones higher......etc...etc... and all those neat stuffs.

Since 1 of my fellow reader is conducting a make-up class, i thought that oh well, maybe you guys might wanna pick up some skills like which brush is for the lips and which type of brush is for the eyes and which is the blusher brush and which is the powder brush......how to apply proper make-up like should the foundation go on first or wat?? kekeke....

So........ my dahlinggsss....if you are interested, our lovely la' fammefatale n her friend is conducting make-up classes in PJ on the 16th April. Those interested pls drop her an email at :

nad_femmefatale@yahoo.com


ps. i havent been to femmefatale's classes, but if you do we'd like to hear your comments. :>



Love,

Fashionasia

Have a great weekend!! Cheerio!!

Cyber Colors Lipstick Hydrating Ultra Shine


Lipsticks are my favourite cosmetic item. Everytime i go out shopping, if i cant find myself anything worthy to buy, I'd most probably end up with a tube of lipstick. :>

My recent purchase also comes from Sasa (same time i bought my nailclipper). Its from Cyber Colors. I was actually looking for lipgloss but the salesgirl introduced this to me as she told me it is as good as a gloss. Indeed after using it for couple of weeks now, I love it. Its my current favourite :>
True to its name, it hydrates your lips leaving a moiste texture. It also have tiny shiny shimmers on it but not too rough, unlike some that i've used before which is rather grainy and rough on the lips. The shiny shimmer powder like makes your lips look glossy and shiny. This particular lipstick also comes with a pretty elegant package, alluminium type matte finish casing. Original price at RM36 but there was some discounts so i bought it at RM26.

Soo..........I need to make more progress, especially in the area of my work. Ah well, so hows much have you achieved for Q1??

My account of being a Snatch Thief Victim (II)

----Continued from previous post:------


As i sat dazed on my couch, i whispered a silent prayer- That justice be served. Thats all i asked for.
Then i called the office to take the day off and proceeded to the nearest police station to make my report.

To my suprise, while i was at the police station there was this other girl there reporting of a snatch theft too. Sad but true, I am not the only victim for the day. The other girl got it worst, she was visibly bruised. I suppose she fell and hurt herself.

While i was writing my essay......(gosh we still use pen and paper!!! where is the computer??!!) I was told to wait awhile before i leave as the police picked up a report of a suspect.

True enough, after about an hour or so, the police brought back the Indian chap handcuffed, together with my handbag!!!!! *fewwfeeettt*!! (whoaaa....my prayer so powderful. don pray pray...)

It seems that, because this Indian fella was in such a hurry, he went to this kampung area.......there was where he met with an accident!! (wakakakakak! padan muka!!!) He bang on a car that belong to a malay guy. Soooooooooo, the malay guy demanded him to pay-up!!! The Indian fella scared shitless due to this taiko like Malay chap who knows some kampung gangster .....that called up his brothers and cornered him. So,Indian fella took out MY purse and used MY money to pay for the damages!!! haha...... the malay guy saw howcome he was having a ladies handbag and purse and saw my IC. He sensed something wrong and questioned this Indian fellow to which he replied that its belong to his sister. (Haha.....hallo.. im so many tone lighter than your shade leh.)

Sooooooooo, this was when the malay chap (my hero) called up the police to come arrest him. Waliaoeh!!! So terror. SOooooooo the Indian fella was thrown into lock-up after I identified him. He was strip naked and wacked kau kau from the police officer.


And so they lived happily ever after!!!! THE END.

hehe....i always wanted to say that. :>


The moral of the story is that, My story have a good ending after all. But not everyone is as lucky as I am. Some have their hands slashed and have permenant scars and all. Its very nasty.

Oh and btw, my handbag and my purse and all my belonging IS STILL WITH THE POLICE AS EVIDENCE. I didnt get to take them back. The case was delayed umpteeen times and we never went on trial as yet. For 3 years now. Boohoo.....too bad I'm not Siti Nurhaliza lo.....I can make 1 complaint and have a trial the next day if i am Siti nurhaliza.


PS: To my malay chap Hero. If you EVER read this post. Please contact me! In my dazy state I forgot to get your name nor your contact. I havent gotten a chance to repay you. Really thank you from the bottom of my heart. I owe you one. So they say "Hutang emas boleh dibayar, hutang budi dibawa mati".(direct translation = money owed can always be repayed but if you owe a favor, you bring it to your coffin)

My account of being a Snatch Thief Victim

Today i was reading theStar online and came accross the article about the murder of the Struddels Cafe manager(bangsar) just to rob a mere RM4000 ringgit. Is life worth only 4k?
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/4/4/nation/13861052&sec=nation
The story was disheartening.
It pretty much ruin my day.

I was meaning to share my story as a snatch theif victim for quite awhile now but i havent done so due to its length. But today, i just needed to let it out. I need to share my story. Its a traumetic experience but i know many women out there experienced the same. Some have their story heard, some kept it secret. But all of us are left traumatized, some scared, and most definately living life in fear.

I remember it clearly, it was a couple of days after my birthday. Back in 2003. Mom gave me a pair of slip-on Alain Delon working shoes that i craved for on my birthday.I kept them in the boot of my car.

It was a regular work day. I woke up, dressed up for work and decided to wear my new shoes. As i walked out of the gate, there was this Indian man on his bike making stops at the neighbours asking if they would like to have their grass mowed. Then he came to me and asked the same, I said no thanks. He then proceeded to the other neighbour. As he left, i then walked to the boot of my car which was parked outside the gate to change my shoes, my handbag sling on my right arm.

While i was wearing 1 side of my shoe, the Indian Man make a u-turn on his bike and came towards my direction. He stopped the bike infront of me (my back was facing him) and rush up to me to grab my handbag.
At the point of time, I was shocked beyond words and my brain froze. I just acted on reflex. While he was pulling, I hung on to my bag and refusing to let go. Lord knows why I was so stubborn!!!! I've always thought to myself if anything like this ever happens to me, that i will never put on a struggle but to just let go and let him have the bag. But when it actually happens!!! I FORGOT to let go!!! *rolls eyes*

As i am a pretty strong person, he then proceeded to hit me on the head, probably wanted to knock me off. I suspected he had some metal of sort as the pound was hard (we later recovered a round metal thingy). I put on a strunggle at least a minute or so fighting with all my might.........but alas, as a weaker gender he manage to push me to the floor. He sped off the bike, and i tried to chase him with 1 shoe and barefooted on the other... He manage to sped off.

The highlight of it all was that, all the time i was screaming on top of my lungs for a good 5 minutes or more. Albeit i wasn't able to conjure words but mere screaching and screaming.....i thought that by screaming hysterically for a good 5 minutes would as least get the neighbours coming with broomsticks and parangs. Boy was i wrong. Dissappointed to the core I was. The next door neighbour WAS THERE. The opposite neighbour WAS THERE. The neighbours few doors away WAS THERE TOO. All they did was staying within their compound DOING NOTHING!!!! The opposite neighbour, an uncle just shouted "hoi hoi" thats all. Then 1 old aunty a few doors away, jotted down the bike number and gave it to me later. The best part is, the aunty, our next door neighbour DARE to tell us later that she was THERE ALL THE TIME WATCHING THE WHOLE ACT, aaaaaaaaaaandddd...get this....."waiting to see if he comes any close to my daughthers car, if he touch the car i would wack him!! with her broom in hand" I quote her exact words.
NOW HOW GOOD IS THAT FOR A NEIGHBOUR huh ??!!!! Arrggh!!!! BRAVO you Malaysians, KL/PJ people sucks!!!
Ptuiiiii!!! If this happend to me back in my kampung, the whole neighbourhood would have come out and put up a fight with the bad guy. And i'm staying at a considerably posh area on PJ mind you. City people sucks. Fullstop.

Defeated, but more so dissappointed.

*clap clap* thank you for your support neighbours. Very good semangat kejiranan you all have. Thank you for coming out and gathering by the streets all of you!! the entire row of neighours miraculously appeared out of nowhere just after the bike sped off. They only came out to console me AFTER the bugger LEFT. I couldnt even look at their faces without feeling disgusted. NO BODY HELPED ME AT ALL when i was beaten up. !@23@^#^#%T@!!!


I returned home dazed, with a trobbing pain on my head due to the bashing.

My tiny dilema

I've been making jewelries as a hobby. As my jewelry collection grows, i'm thinking to put it up for sale on the web. However, i have a tiny delima. Should i :

1. Post them up here on this blog
2. Set up another blog solely for my jewelry collection
3. Set up an ecommerce site for that purpose.

Currently, i'm undecided.





PS: something i'm in the midst of creating. I'm thinking = a flowery bracelet. :)
