It's just my luck

Do you know that the stupid metal rod cost me RM500?? =(((((((((((((((( *sniff* *sniff*
The front panel *my bro say its actually called the front grill* cost me RM400 over!! I have to change the whole thing because that stupid metal rod actually broke all the connectors and hence one side of the front grill is not connected properly!! Then the car plate cost me another RM45. My mimi told me that a normal car plate is only RM20 but because honda got their one car plate with metal chrome at the side and hence it costs RM45!! So.... plus workmanship and all its about RM500!!!!!! =(
Do you know that with RM500 I can actually buy THIS!!!!!!


*Haha* I can do alot of shopping too!! hehe I wanna buy new clothes for cny!!!!!!

Anyway, whatever it is, the damaged has been done and I am RM500 poorer that is excluding repainting the bumper!! =(((((((((((((((




And guess what??



My car plate number actually is the first prize in TOTO!!!!!!!!! *update: Oh its actually Magnum not Toto!! Kaka that shows I don't buy number!!* But my car plate number is only 3 digit, but still..... 816 came out!!!!!!!! The first prize is 7816 and YuLin actually bought 6816!!!! So close and yet so far!!!!!!!!!!! If he had won, he would have sponsored me my car repair!! But too bad.... its just his luck and my luck!! haha The reason he said he bought 6 was because it happened on the 6th! I don't know what does 7 means.... probably its the rod!! kakaka or I woke up at 7am!! hahahaha cause normally i only wake up at bout 7.40am!! But that particular day I woke up at 7am to leave the house earlier to be there at that particular time to be hit by the metal rod!! *Smart*

Anyway, my honeydrew offered to sponsored me the RM500 and I kao tim the repainting myself.... =) I lovey my honeydrewy... kaka *Thanks for offering dear*



On to a happier note, I finally did my nails!! hehe =) Haven't been bothered about my nails for more than a month!! I love to do nail art!! =) This time I have put in jewellery instead of drawing flowers.

Nice??


I know you can't really see the details. Its actually quite simple but I love it cause it looks so sweet *keke* - self praise =)


OK bigger view... so that you can see the details..... One heart shape jewel and 3 pink dots for the fingers. The jewel and dots are at different corners for each fingers =)


Two heart shape jewel and three pink dots for the thumb =)



Yup yup, I'm happy with my fingernails.... I hope it lasts =)


Oh I went for jap for dinner today =) I lovey jap!!! Have been craving a lot for jap lately!! Oh and I weighed myself today and am now 49kg!! Yeay!! =) 1 more kg to go to win the bet!! hehe =) My weight seems to be yo-yo-ing between 48.5-50.5 kg these past few months!!
Hmm... if it keeps going up and down the same trend every week, I hope when I weigh on the 31st I am on the down side!! kaka =)
Ok anyway, had dinner at Sushi Zanmai, The Gardens with my Mimi =) We had Soft Shell Crab and Gindara Teriyaki - My favourite fish!! I LOVE GINDARA!!!!! Its meat is so bouncy and delicious!! Feels that it just melts in your mouth and glides into your tummy as the fish is a bit oily one but fish oil is good for you!! =) For sushi, we had Ebiko Ebiten Maki (Tempura Prawn Maki) and Unagi Zanmai which consists of 3 types of eel sushi (eel, premium eel, and eel with egg) and also an unagi roll. Yummy!!




My mimi - insists she don't wanna eat the gindara after taking a few bites because she knows I love it!! =) But I forced her to share with me =)




By looking at all these photos I am craving for more jap!!!!!!!!!!!! Why am I such a greedy pig???


Ok.... am going for the first carolling practice tomorrow!! Hope I don't embarrass myself!! keke *Me not good in singing k!!* But going for the fun of it =)

Live & Loud KL



Went to the Live & Loud Kuala Lumpur - Turn On the Pop @ Mount Kiara Equestrian Park. Got 4 free tickets worth RM290 each =) *Thanks Thanks*

Performing artists includes: Whitney Houston • Shaggy • Elliott Yamin • James Taylor Quartet • Project Pop • Dina (Malaysian Idol) • Joe Flizzow (Too Phat) • Annuar Zain • Jaclyn Victor • Noryn Aziz • Azan (Ruffedge) • Lah (VE) • Nikki • Mode • Sufiah Noor • Hannah Tan • One Buck Short (Don't ask me who are they I only know a handfull - The main person I wanted to watch was Whitney!!)


All the local performing artiste






BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






WHITNEY HOUSTON IS DISAPPOINTING!!!!!!!!!!!






Firstly, she is tooooooo action!!!!! Made everyone wait for her for more than 45mins!! She is supposed to perform last after Shaggy. Shaggy ended bout 12midnight and Whitney only came out at 12.45am!!!!!!!!!! Some people just left without waiting for her!! Mich said she slept while waiting for her!! HAHA. FYI, we have been standing since 8pm!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly, I feel she didn't really put in much effort to sing!! She didn't "pull" the notes as long or as high and she remix her songs too much. When you go for live concerts, its fun to sing and dance along but because she remixes too much we don't even know how to follow!! My friend also said that she can't really sing live one.... so probably that's why!! If she remix it, and didn't pull the note as long or as high as per her album, no one knows!! haha






For the song I will always love you, its even more ridiculous!! You know the chorus part where she sings "And, IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~~~~~~~~~~~~~.............. will always love youuuuu......" *you know that part of the song??* She sang And.... then she pause and went to drink water then come back and continue the IIIIIII.... *Huh* some more act like she is so great like that!!!!! *ish*

Thirdly, she is quite plump lor.... haha *though this shouldn't be one of the reasons but I still want to mention it* Some more she go and wear mid riff outfit!!!! When the camera show her side profile, can see her tummy budging out lor.... Mine already consider quite big but I think hers is bigger lor.... *haha* My friend even worse!! She said that probably she can't pull the notes so high or long cause she needs to breath in to suck in her tummy!!!! *KAKAKAKAKAKA*

Lastly she is quite lebih lor,,,,, already so late and half of the audience left already at about 1.30am she still wants to go change her outfit!!!!!!!! Everyone else also didn't change!!!! She wants to change!!! Make people wait some more!!!! *ish* *ish* *ish*

Anyway after we listen to I will always love you, we also left!! Don't want to wait for it to end.... too tulan already!! kakaka



BUT......



Shaggy was FUN!!!!!! He is sooooo funny!!!! He can really entertain the crowd!!! Really had a good time during his session!!!

When he came out, he shouted "Malaysia......." and the crowd shouts back by screaming..... then he said ok now the left side, and shouted "Malaysia......" again and everyone from the left side screamed but when its the right side, the screaming was not loud enough and he said.... Oh this side must be Singapore *Haha* I found that quite funny...... =D

Then before he sang "It wasn't me" he said: Men always get caught!! Women NEVER get caught.... WHY?? Cause women are smarter *yup* *yup* and men are stupid!! But guys, if you ever get caught, just say IT WASN'T ME!!!!!!! (Bad teaching - Honeydrew don't learn)

He and another guy (I don't know who - someone who raps with him) divided the crowd into two and lead us in a few games..... cheering and booing each other......

Totally enjoyed Shaggy's session. He is a good entertainer!!

Anyway, I don't know why, after having sushi at Ichiban Bonshi in Pavillion, I have been craving for more sushis!! But I don't want to eat so much carbs!! End up, I couldnt resist and I had sushi again =) Went to sakae sushi for dinner with the Beetch and Thomas..... Sakae Sushi's sushi are not that great but when you are desperate, you don't really care!! Cause we were in Subang Parade and there are only Sushi King or Sakae Sushi.... so I chose the latter.


Its a self timer photo - thats why the angle is a bit wierd



Despite the quality, I think we ate quite alot, 3 servings of octopus, 2 servings of pregnant fish, 2 servings of that green beans, soft shell crab, salmon sashimi and various sushis


Oh then I saw this crazy woman keep posing with the huge motorola razor..... hhhmmmm... I wonder who is this xiao lang *haha*






Oh...... I'm quite christmasy this year..... A few of the Christmas thingys that I have never bothered to do previously I am doing it for fun and in the spirit of Christmas!! *HAHA

1) This Saturday, we actually planned to go around to all the major shopping complexes to take photos with their Christmas deco =) Quite excited bout that!! *Yippie photo time*

2) I'm planning to join carolling *first time in my life* for fun. Practices starts next week!!

3) I'm going to watch my friend's perform in a Christmas production. I usually don't go for church events one..... but exception to my dear friend.....

4) I'm having Christmas gifts exchange (Actually this is the only thing I do every year) But usually I wont just exchange the gift, we will play some games before we can get our pressies.... hehe I have actually came out with a few ideas.... kaka


We wish you a merry christmas, we wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year!!

WHY ME??

I'm very upset!!!!!! =((((((((((((((((
Why me????????

Today I purposely woke up earlier so that I can leave to work earlier. While driving on Federal Highway, out of no where, all of a sudden I saw something flying at high speed towards my car and hit my car with a great impact!! I can see debris flying out!! In my heart, I was so worried and kept hoping that its nothing. I did not stop at the road side to check but drove straight to work. At my office car park, I realized that a metal rod actually hit my car!! The metal rod was stuck in between the bumper and the front panel of my car. My car plate was cracked and one of the side is hanging lose. There were also deep scratches on my car front bumper.

I don't know where the metal rod came from. Its about half a meter long and 1cm in diameter.

I should be glad that the metal rod did not fly higher and hit the windscreen!! Or worse still hit me!! Then I won't be here typing this!! =((((((((((((((((

But WHY ME??? Why do I have to leave earlier today to be there at that time, at that moment, at that lane!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess its just my unlucky day =((((

It wasn't even a lorry in front of me that dropped the rod or anything (if it is at least i still can ask for compensation)!! I think probably the rod was dropped earlier and the car in front of me just drive across it at the right angle and right speed for the rod to spin and fly towards me!! *but why me!!* sighhhhh......

My colleague and friends reaction was - They will buy number using my car plate number!!!!!!! *cheh* - heartless people!!! At least Mr YuLin said he will sponsored my repair for me if he wins first prize!! *haha* but i really doubt that will happen!!

Anyway, my unlucky day is not over!! While driving back, it was raining and I wasn't really in the mood and its jam *yes I am impatient* so I took the emergency lane. I know that sometimes there are police there (because I got caught there once with the same offence - but managed to get myself out of it). Usually I will go back into the non-emergency aka normal lane before I hit that portion of the highway, and every time I will look if there are any police and none would be seen!! And of all the times I went pass that road, today I decided to take that emergency lane thinking that its raining and the police wont be around. BUT, as I said today is not my day =((((((((( deng deng deng 3 policemen there waiting for me!! *SHIT* I cant even go back to the normal lane as it was raining and I only saw them when I was a short distance from them!! So, I bravely drive towards them and obviously the policeman asked me to stop. So I wind down my window and told the policeman that I'm sorry I just had an accident u see my car plate also spoilt dy *give him a muka kesian* Then the policeman went to check my car plate and told me not to use the emergency lane next time. He then said to me, "If you meet other policeman they will saman you already but luckily u meet me!!" I was sooooo relieved!!!!!! *hehe* Before I leave he told me to go repair my car plate tomorrow and asked me to drive slowly and carefully.... He even stopped the cars for me to go back on the proper lane *so glad*

Yeah I know he probably did take bribes from other cars but at least he kesian me lar hehe So I guess there is at least something positive from this morning's mishap!! It saved me from getting a saman / giving bribe!!

Anyway I just feel like eating loads of fattening food and spend my money shopping to cheer myself up!! *It does help ok!!* BUT, I refrained myself!! Was supposed to go Pyramid for some drinks session but I decided to just come home so that I don't do anything stupid like eat myself silly or shop til I am broke!! - I need to lose weight and save $$$ lar!!

Oh you know, I am starting to record down all my expenses to keep track of my finances. Also to make sure that I put a certain amount of money to savings. My mimi told me that my sis is recording all her expenses to the very cent and I think its a good idea!! At least I know where my money went at the end of the month and know if I have spent wisely or overspent. When I see something I really totally love, I can then decide if is worth spending on and if I have enough money to splurge on it or not!! Then I will be able to control my spending!! I started on 1 Dec, so hopefully I will carry on doing this!! OK this shall be one of my new year resolution!!

I hope tomorrow will be a better day =)

I need more hours in a day!!

There are so many thing I want to do but don't have the time to do and so many things I have started but don't have the time to complete!! I need more than 24 hours!!!! It's been a long time when I really feel I have nothing to do at all and don't know how to pass my time!! I kinda miss that feeling now.....


I need to get my life organized!! I need to plan ahead. I need to be more hard working and not so lazy. I need to prioritize. I need to sleep early and wake up early. I need to be punctual. Basically I need more hours in a day!! If that is possible!! =)

Anyway, Steven was back from TNT and we met up to play pool together with Victor and also Thomas. I was just saying in my previous blog that I paiseh to ask people to take photo for me while I am playing pool and magically Thomas asked me if I want a photo!! Since he asked me, naturally I said YES!! *Hehe* I'm really hooked back on pool again!! Used to play so much during my Uni days and then kinda stop playing but after the last 2 rounds of pool outings I had recently, my hands are itchy again!! *hehe* It just feels soooooo good when you are able to plot a ball straight into the pocket!! *sweet*

*My first pool shot* kaka. I think I was too shy to really pose also... hehe

Me and Putu Chong (Thomas)

Me and Steven



Thomas is good!! Lost to him but I won Steven and Victor lar. I need to practice more!! Val asked for pool again tomorrow!! I don't know if I should go for pool or go home earlier to do more research on MBA and polish up my CV!! I am also supposed to go gym!! I have been wasting money paying for my gym membership and have not been going frequent enough!! Do you know I gained 2kg again!! I am now back to 50kg!! With a super flabby abs =((((((((((((((


*****

Oh, I have FINALLY decided that I do not want to take ICAEW!!!!!! After much thought and also getting advice talking and consulting various people I have finally decided that at this point of time, an MBA suits me better.... =) *Thanks everyone for your input* A special thanks to Siew May who have taken time to explain and have given me a lot of her views and advice on this matter. I hope its the right decision and the right investment to make *MBA is not cheap =(* I am currently researching about where to do my MBA!! Any suggestions?? Am not intending to go for the best *Don't think I qualify also* But I will definitely want to go to one that is reputable and recognized.


Went to the MBA World Tour Fair at Westin with the beetch. It was quite fruitful and we have gotten a lot of information and brought back a lot of prospectus, brochures and leaflets. Do you know how heavy are all these!!!! My arm almost broke!! I weighed it back home and its freaking 7kg!!!!! Can you imagine walking around with a 7kg bag for 2 hours???



But its worth it even though I have not finish reading everything that I brought home!! But from what I read so far, some information are really useful!! However, being as indecisive as I am, I don't know when will I decide which Business School to go to!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need more constructive advice!!!!!!!!!!! Not advice like MBA is a waste of money because it is only for people who want a status!! Can you believe YuLin told me this??? I really think he is a bit shallow to say that!! Not that I want to be rude or I think MBA is the greatest but how can he generalised MBA like that!! Of course I can't deny that some people really do take an MBA for the sake of having a cert. But I am determined not to be like that!! I really want to learn academically and also improve my soft skills, change and broaden my perspectives on things and widen my network!! This is my goal!! And of course hoping that I get a career change and ultimately will have a career that gives me job satisfaction and also financial freedom!! I am not saying that an MBA is magic and it will definitely give me all these once I graduate. I have not done an MBA yet so I can't say for sure if it will really be worth the investment. But I still won't say that an MBA is useless. If it is useless then why do so many people take MBA?? Why is MBA so expensive?? Why do successful people still take MBA?? I'm sure there are some benefits from it if you take it seriously. If YuLin has already done an MBA in a good Business School and participate in all the group discussions, projects, workshops, networking (everything that should come with an MBA) and then he still says that and think that it did not improve or change him in anyway, then I might understand his point of view. But he has not and he just give such comments?? Anyway, he doesn't affects me. I am just shocked to hear such things!

OK anyway, after the MBA Fair, we went for dinner at Iciban Boshi at Pavilion. The place is actually not bad, with very interesting selection of sushi and its quite cheap!! Will definitely go back to try more!! =) I ordered a soft shell crab roll and a double salmon roll. Its only RM8 each plate and it comes in 8 pieces each. The beetch tried 1 piece each and that means I ate 14 pieces of sushi!! That's quite a lot eh!!! I think that probably is equivalent to 1 bowl of rice!! *tsk* *tsk* *tsk* Have been eating so much carbs lately no wonder I put on 2kg!! The beetch had soba and the pregnant fish. She totally love the pregnant fish so we thought that we will order another plate so that I can try one and she can have another one! So we asked the waitress for another plate and she told us that the kitchen is closed!! After bout 5mins I over heard her talking over the walkie talkie that "I've got no more order from my side, you can close the kitchen". That means she could still take our order just now!!!! Stupid waitress!! So lazy!! Deny me of pregnant fish!! =P

The beetch as usual always looking so hiao =P



After dinner at bout 10.30pm there was still a queue in J Co!! Can you believe that!! We queued for 20mins to get our donuts!! We were just discussing about this the other day and we think that one donut is actually less than 50cents!! Imagine the profits that they are making and they are selling millions of donuts!!


*****

Last Friday night we celebrated JoLyn's belated birthday at Cava, Bangsar. Its a Spanish place. We ordered 6 types of tapas, one seafood paella, a pasta, a jug of Cava No.1 (some drinks mix with white wine and juices and don't know what) and a warm chocolate cake to share. The bill came up to a freaking RM360 for the 4 of us!! Which I think is quite expensive considering we didn't even order a main each!! But that's also because we ordered a jug of Cava No.1 and that's already RM95!! Plus they charges us for a tapas that we have actually cancelled!! Oh never mind. Don't think I will go back there though!! El Cerdo and La Bodega are better!! =) *I miss El Cerdo already*

Oh you know something reallyyyyyyyy embarrassing happened to me!! *shy* I got lost in the car park at The Gardens!!! Really lost one!! Lost until need to ask the security for directions and need to sit the security car!!!!!!!! So embarrassing and frustrating!!!!!!!!! The security need to bring me back to the entrance where I came in, then only I am able to find my car!!!!!! I was actually with my mum and we got lost cause we parked at The Gardens and we were pushing the trolley of groceries from Carrefour so we need to came out through Mid Valley. We tried to walk through the car park to The Gardens car park. The car park was so big and we got confused and in the end we just didn't know where we were anymore!!!!!!! =S



Hmmm.... I will end my post with a photo of my godson in LEAN Club!! He is the cutest, funniest, most active and talkative boy in LEAN Club. I like to disturb him so much that everyone refer him as my godson. =)
