Warehouse sales

It's madness ! It's a season ! It's mind blowing especially when salary is not in yet and saving is NIL ! LOL !

Thanx to the adorable ENT specialist, I had time to head down to Armada for Hush Puppies warehouse sales. I was torn between Loreal or Hush Puppies. Cosmetic or shoes...mmm... not using Loreal anymore and make-up items are sufficient. I think I still have leftovers from last year's and so Hush Puppies it is !

It started at 11am and I was there quarter past. Left Beb at Caltex for a wash and boy, my timing was brilliant. It hasn't started but the queue was amazing. Don't this people know not to take time off for shopping ! I was different. My ENT advised me too !....heheheheheh...

Women were going bonkers ! Pushing and shoving ! So much for kesopanan wanita malaysia. It was bad for hush puppies section. Other brands like renoma, ieam and x:odus were manageable. The staff was screaming for the ladies to behave. You could hear the shouting from outside. One of the guy was singing 'London bridge was falling down' cynically to indicate the table was breaking. What a sight !

I was, of coz, still in pleasant manner and actually say sorry if I accidently stepped or in someone else's way, which explains why I only bought one Hush puppies.

errrr.... and one ieam casual shoe.... errr... and stilletos from x:odus.... hehehehe...


By the time I was finally done, swiped RM80 for those three pairs (good bargain hey), and car shining clean from a good wash from the banglas (or were they pakis), the line was up until outside of Armada's entrance !

Lovely starts for the weekend, I'd say !

Grief-stricken events

The discourse of the week since my last post has been indescribable.

Fara's dad unexpectedly passed away in his sleep on Saturday morning (suspected heart attack but I yet to confirm this), Sam's grandfather had a heart attack on Monday, one of shinesters mom was run over by an irresponsible driver while having dinner at the side of the road in Sg Besi and passed away on Tuesday morning and Hani Mohsin collapsed and died of heart attack at LCCT, Sepang. Few other friends had death news of their own.

An eye opener to most that life is short so start zooming to the gym ! LOL !


Then, there's unpleasant dispute between friends and family, I know peeps who's upset with me for not checking on their well-being, I had another ear infection ($$$igh) and two municipal councils summon came for not displaying parking tix, both the same week. I could accept MBPJ (at time of summon was MPPJ) but MBSA was absurd ! It was from 2002. I can't recall if I was driving it.

It's difficult getting use to changes especially when one is not ready to change but that's just how people are. They change and most of the time without a warning. Either it's for the best or the worst, that's subjective. Expectations differ, priorities varies and well, pretty much everything if one factor does. Parent disowning their children, siblings refuse to acknowledge each other existence, best friend becomes one's worst agony. Same goes to death, one day you take for granted the one you love will still be there for you and the next thing you know, they're gone.

So when is the best time to show them you care? When will they know despite the differences, the pain and the hurt, they meant the world to you? Worst, will you get to apologise, make amend, tell them your real feelings and thoughts? How do you know tomorrow is just too late?

You don't. No one does. Even if you have cancer, no one really know when is the deadline (taking the word literally is an awful thought).

So do it as soon. Before it's too late. Treat everyday like there is no tomorrow. It's ok to have expectations. You can live on dreams too. Don't fret it. Live without a fear.

But why do I feel some things are better left unsaid. Let it be my own. What I know may hurt me but at least not others. Why is it hard to say sorry to the person that matters the most? And yet, regardless of all the sighing, the nerve-wrecking, the bickering, the devastation, I'm just prone to have more gratifying journey :-)

HELL as explained by a chemistry student

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington Chemistry mid-term.

The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:


Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh My God."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

Thirty Nothing

The venue was Chilis KLCC. The time was 840pm. I waited for 10mins or so before the waiter showed us to a table to fit 7 peeps.

Aiman, Md Nor, Adi, Andy, Ara, myself... 6... ah.. highlights for the nite.. was late. It ok. She's entitle to be. After all, she is the highlights.

As we about to order for starters, there she came, all fresh from the shower (u did shower before you came right) and in smiles. No surprises of coz. It's expected anyways.

There were others celebrating bday too but they weren't as hyper as we were (was it only me? hehehe... don't live in denial peeps). Their intention was not 100% focus. We were by being the loudest and noisiest around, keeping the momentum high and spreading the joy !


To my long time and compassionate bitch...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAL !

HAVE A GREAT YEAR AHEAD !

LOVE YOU LONG LONG TIME AND STAY MY BITCH 4EVA !




Ironically I got a gift from Ezz on her birthday. Yes... what a great friend she has ! Totally love the gift ! I enjoyzzzz !

I'm sorry...

I felt like I just had a break up. The feeling's sux but I asked for it. It's been ages since I feel like this. I demanded honesty and I got it. Right smacked on my face !

Don't get me wrong. Thank you for being honest. It was important to me that I know the truth. I live in denial too long and when the truth hits me, I didn't know how else to react but naturally devastated. What I don't get is why does it hurt me so bad? Why do I feel so sad? It has nothing to do with me except that I care loads for that person but the pain that I feel is unexplainable and dang it! bloody unbearable.

This is hard than I thought. Million dollar question... do I love this person so much that the pain I feel actually cut through my heart? Of course I do. Otherwise I won't feel so upset now right ! Am only hurt cause I cared so much. 'Cared' huh... I still care. I will always. I choose to continue loving this person and live with the excruciating truth of the matter even if it kills me.

There I go being such a drama queen *sigh*


I will deal with it. I will bare it. Life goes on. In the name of happiness, I will will it! I have more means to love this person now that I know the real being I'm giving my love to. You never know, there might still be hope *wink*


I'm sorry for wanting to know so much I'm sorry that you had to know how I feel I’m sorry if I worried you I'm sorry it was not what I wanted to hear I'm sorry I’m blogging it but I am NOT sorry to know you I am NOT sorry that I love you and I am NOT sorry that you meant so much to me now.



PS… I think Shine made me dramatically mushy2. Eeeeuuuwwwwww.....

$HINE 3: This is not just another advertising course


And believe me... it surely was the most exceptional and unexpected experience I ever had !

I heard there'll be tears and I'm thinking "what the hay?!". Nothing else was said about $HINE. Past $hiners need to communicate in LEVEL 5 because they aren't doing the program any justice by not baring the REAL truth.

IT WAS FUNTASTIC. ABSOLUTELY GREAT !!

I went in as a bubbly, open yet slightly reserve and caring person (yes I have my shy moments, believe me). By the end of the course, I am full of zest, sharp on what I want, confident and full of love for everyone.

Ok not for a stranger on the street but I surely could if given a day.


There were 26 participants. By the end of day one, 25 of us were enjoying each other's company up in Coffea Bean Genting. I had my own room whilst the rest shared at random, but I never slept alone. Chatted with Ju and Jess til late and so they ended up bunking over. On the second night, we had a presentation due 9am next morning and Numero Uno brainstormed in my room.

Hey, we're in advertising aren't we? We laugh at deadlines (or curse, even swear) whatever that keeps us going !


$hine teaches us how easy it is to gain trust from anyone if we are honest to ourselves and to be honest we have to know who we really are. Let our guard down, clear our past, welcome the future and never hold back our potential. If I communicate in Level 5 - which is expressing my true feeling - don't pretend - just be me - honest me - people can sense my energy and warmth. They will be able to trust me, the very least to spend me a moment and talk to me. People change all the time, I don't have to change with them but I can change the way I respond to them. If you focus 110% on your intention, the mechanism does not matter. We live our lives in a win-lose situation. Imagine if Brazil players individually focused on making a score. Ronaldinho gloated "I scored more than Ronaldo" Brazil will never be one of the top soccer team in the world. They're playing in a team - together. They have win-win principal. Play with each other so the team will succeed. Live win-win. It's gives a wonderful effect.

I wasn't rooting for Brazil in WC but their the only team which I know names... hehehe..


It breaks barrier, fear and made me courageous, not only in advertising but in life. Here's hell news - I'll give advertising a couple more year ! Heck am already shining, just watch me glow brighter ! I gained 25 new friends, profound new beliefs and most importantly I found me.

On the first day I learnt 5% had an impression that I was not smart. On the last day, the gift I have in me is their strength. In the word of Ling2... COOL.

Beware peeps, I'm out spreading my love and hugs too. Embrace it ! It's free *wink*

A sad farewell

Stunned is not even close to describe how I felt when a colleague bid her farewell. I was glad that I came back to the office after a meeting even though it was already 530pm - officially end of day but that never the case for agencies *sigh*

Anyhoot, what seems to be an internal dispute cum hidden agenda, she had lost the fight and yesterday was her evidence of defeat. But... is it a defeat or a mean to excel further? You know, God works in mysterious ways. The industry is not as big as it seems. You bound to know one another if you been around. Who knows? Maybe one day, she seizes an account, making her one of the top person in the industry... or not.

I hope she'll be fine and make it through. Whatever the issue was, whoever's right, whatever it is, know that when it comes to making it in this big wide world, you can never be too careful and trust only yourself.


Adios Germany, ustedes seguir el juego muy bien... and i'm speaking Spanish !

hehehehehehehehehehe..........
