Shopping Trip

miyako — 2008-11-04T23:07:41+08:00

I am about a week away from leaving for my holiday to Seoul. But I haven't packed yet.... My little luggage had been deemed retired (all thanks to mom). So I ended up getting a new luggage.
Using the vouchers given to me for my birthday, I headed to Isetan Scotts.

Hey, I got a great buy. I got a decent luggage from this brand Delsey, it looks pretty good and meet most expectation of my definition of a good luggage

1. Must be good size (depends on where u travel most often and how much stuff you usually brings)
2. Must be light weight (you do not want to pay for excess luggage pricing coz its really stupid! its the luggage that's overweight not the contents)
3. Durable (My mom got a cheapo polo luggage that cost her near 50 bucks, but the handle broke away on her trip to china (first usage), the repeat usage cost is considerably high)
4. Affordable (I saw a Samsonite which I like for its design, but its price is not so friendly. Cost nearly 1K!!! Gosh, If I lost that in any airport... I think its really heart pain)

The good thing is Isetan do provide delivery service, so I do not need to drag this thing along when I went jalan jalan at Far east afterwards. I have not been to FEP for longest time. I think the last time I went was to get the pink motorola mobile from WhyMobile. (thats if I can remember)

The shops had changed a lot. There are still lots of ah lians store in the basement area, but there is considerably lesser than before, more shops selling bags and accessories and shoes. Maybe its a weekday, its quite empty. I got myself a pair of jeans which fit me well and is cheap! Less than 50. I had hard time finding jeans, coz of my not so long legs and not so slim waist. (depressive)

Fetish for shoes kick in, also got a silver colored heels for function, and a pair of low cut boots.

Well I think I maxed my clothings budget for the next 2 months....

I am back

I shifted my blog to multiply blog earlier this year, but I had decided to shift back to QQblogs.

This is still my favourite place to blog. The people who read and writes here are real people. Why do I say so, as I saw that people on the M blog (my other friends) tend to give me goodie good shoes reply. Which to me, is hyprocritical, if bad things were to happened to you, I am sure you would react in the same manner.

Ah fen is no goodie good shoe, I tend to be myself and wants to be myself.
I do not want to have a panel of censorship officers behind my back everytime i write a blog. I am no Dawn wayang or Xia xue. I no need your support.

My production in the M blog is miserable. Everytime I want to pen something, I feel so scrutinized, if i put this what will happened. I was more afraid that the naggy that will come along with whatever that I had placed. Which in the first place was a platform to pen down my thoughts and is a personal blog. You do not go to someone blog and scrutinzed whatever that had been penned and start preaching on moral values and watever you have in your own mind. Stop putting your own points and opinions onto me. So to avoid these, I might as well don;t write a shit. No blog = no trouble.

And if you cannot agree with what I had placed or wrote, just leave a comment. I don't love to hear preaches.
And to me, it purely and invasion of my personal space. I am sharing a piece of my life with you, but I do not want to hear a piece of your preach out of you.

I started blogging since I was in the poly days, since i knew QQblogs.
I always nag at tz for the lack of ability to plaster photos like the M blog can, BUT

QQBLOGS IS STILL THE BEST. COZ THERE ARE NO FREEDOM INVADERS.

HURRAY FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH (*Sorry BLOG)

A new year is coming

I am aging faster than I tot. Haiz

My mom was askign me to go to the jewellry shop with her this weekend as she want to buy two gold bangles, one for me and one for my future sister in law.

I asked " Mom so why are you getting this thing so early"

She "for you and your sister in law to wear when you marry lor, wear during the tea ceremony"

Me "but mom, if very suay i cannot get myself off the shelf how? Why don't you buy a gold bar for me instead? More practical right"

haha

My mom gave me a you are hopeless look.

I still prefer having a gold bar than a gold bangle.
LOL

I am working on the budget for year 2008. Yes, seeing that I have not been managing my money well, I need to implement this. Stick to the budget ash, else eat grass.

OMG

miyako — 2007-10-18T13:20:48+08:00

I saw my ex boss at Funan earlier, dun even know if I should go up and say HI. Seriously I dun have anything to say to him nor do I expect him to tok to me. Most prob is asking what i am doing now etc. Very superficial and yin chou type of questions. So dun waste time, just walk away.

I had gotten my results for my last 2 exams paper, and OMG, I got a distinction and a pass. The distinction is totally unexpected, i estimated at CR at most. WOW!

Now I have 2 more papers to go, another 2 more killer subjects :( Network management + Strategic marketing. The Strategic marketing is somewhat more tedious than I tot, and when my team is seriously under man power, 2 in a group, other have 4 in a group. But anyway, I am very used to working on my own.
Bad thing, no team work spirit.

Raining Day

miyako — 2007-09-27T09:30:38+08:00

Its a rainy day this morning and as usual the BKE PIE whatever Es are all jammed packed. The bus moved on at snail speed and I only reached office at 9am. (suppose to start work at 830) Gosh...

I went to have an hair cut at chapter 2 last evening, I always ask for Nana a senior stylist, she is good at hair cuts and design. Finally I decided to straighten out my hair, coz i dunnoe how to take care of curly hair. :(
My camera's with my mom in dunnoe where in Taiwan, so no pics can be uploaded. Yes, my mom ditched me and my dad and happily went on a week vacation to Taiwan, I think she said she is heading to Tainan before going to Taipei and back to Sin. She loves travelling and now she is pestering me when wld my convocation be, bring her to perth. Coz she never been to an ang moh country before. She's pretty adaptable in travelling, if you ask her to go back pack she is okie. So far she been to neighbouring countries a few times and if you see her luggage you would be surprise she can survive with such few items.

Argh I am looking so so forward to my holiday in November! Call me blessed~ I am heading to Bangkok (super hot) with friends i met at work (earlier work place), and then with my colleagues on an company incentive trip to tokyo! So excited! I never really had an vacation for say 3 years at least.

This is my last semester at school, All i hope is to quickly finish what I started and enjoy life!~

Super Hectic Week

miyako — 2007-09-21T13:42:03+08:00

The Sales meeting is over and gosh, so much wrapping up work to do. I need to continue with my report and then handle my 2 exam papers at the same time.
Super busy person.

I got myself a leave on mask from The Face Shop, this is good stuff! The Raspberry Root Leave on Mask, its texture is light and u dun need to wash off. Helps in the hydration and firming of skin. Just use this as the last step of your skincare routine or if you are like me, with oily acne prone skin, use this thing after toner and be ready to go to lala land.

Highly recommended.

Life is pretty much the same. Day in day out report writing and the need to do my assignments and reading.
I am pretty much inclined to do business analysis and report writing. Its more of things I will enjoy doing.
And hope that I can cumulate sufficient experience to work as a makety analyst in the top 3 chemical firm. Exciting job but no life.

New Feel

miyako — 2007-09-07T10:18:27+08:00

I am having difficulties sleeping nowadays. I cannot sleep at all! Gosh, the earliest i can turn into bed is at 2-3am in the morning and I wake up by 7. Today was a little late, i woke up at 8++, i quickly brush teeth and go out to grab a taxi.

Haiz late to work... taxi fare is so expensive.

As I was on the cab, the taxi uncle was listening to FM100.3 <-- i think one of the chinese radio station.
The host i remembered was Chen Jian Bin.
A person called in to shared abt his marriage. This chap said he had been married for 16 years, the first few years of the marriage was good, but subsequently as life goes on, he and his wife had "personality differences". Actually, I hate this verse that guys always use, PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES. I wish to smack this statement to every single guy, who is thinking of ditching your girlfriend using this statement.

IT IS PRECISELY FROM PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES WHICH WAS THE ATTRACTION FACTOR THAT BROUGHT BOTH OF YOU TOGETHER

GOSH

okie back to a rational ah fen..

His story is somewhat a very classical modern city love story which turns not so fairy like ending.

He and his wife known each other through work, they were colleagues and both of them were young working adults who just started their career. They fell in love with one another, got married. And somehow, along the years, the husband who is more ambitious, started to see fruits of his labour. He got promotion after promotion, things was never better. Whereas, his wife, as he described, was contended to be where she is, no inches move in her career etc.
He said that his wife, used to be an very budding career woman, but after they got married, she seems to lose the energy and drive. She became an woman, who love to watch soap dramas, no up keep blah blah blah. Basically you can call her Mrs Yellow Face.
And slowly as this guy climbs up his career tree, his wife who is lagging begin to seems like a stranger to him.
And he concluded these to "PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES". But when prompted for further elaboration by the DJ, he cannot give a concrete answer. (As expected)
Climax: He said, he got to know this other woman, whom he had yet to start an relationship with, and he felt very much connected to her. Same frequency same wavelength etc.

Basically it all boils down to , this chap, is sick of his yellow face wife, and is looking for fresh things.

GOSH

U can see how ugly men can be. This type of reason also can think of?

Yeah, you might defend him. Coz of their life goal differences, their mindset are different.
But when he first marry her, how does he feel abt these 2 criterias?
What changed both their mindset?

I am sure that there is a way to align the mindset thing. If you wanted to.

I had seen an artical about a man who is very very high profiled. A very wealthy business man, who married a girl from a simple family without much education background. Given his calibre, he can choose among well educated women from illustrous background. But yet, they are very happily married.
His key is COMPROMISE.

Easy yet hard to do.

Maintaing a relationship is never easy. If even love is measured, what's so great deal abt it?

Revelation

miyako — 2007-08-17T10:41:31+08:00

I craved for freedom in my soul
yearn to soar the clear blue sky
and see the world
My desire kept me to put on wings
wings that may not fly

some did fly, but it landed in weird places
some allows me to have short term freedom
before it crashed

I never gave up seeking that wings that can realise my dream

Now that I found
You are that wings that will bring me to places

Your feathers give me comfort and kept me warm when I am low in spirits

Allowing me to seek refuge under your wings in times of storm

Without you, I am a bird without wings.

Scenario

You are in a gathering at a friend's home. After the eating etc, you volunteer to wash the plates and cups.

Someone came along, throw a plate with left overs and plastic fork on top, without bothering to clear the remains at the trash can right behind him/her and dump the plate right into the basin u r busy with.

How would you feel?
