there it goes again

before me get used to
BLR being 6.25%
and petrol price at rm1.62 per litre


just within such a short period of time
some banks had announced BLR to be at 6.50%
and petrol price has just gone up by 30 cents to rm1.92 per litre


and me was one of those kiasu people who went to fill up petrol right before the clock strike 12 midnight :p
had never done so before, so thinking of trying for once.
lagipun my petrol almost reach 'E'
if cinderella exist, she'll be rushing to fill petrol too before the clock strike 12. she drives, doesn't she? :p


and before we can finish saying the word 'aiya, increase again'
we will most likely see some 'dominoes effects'
" because this increase, this increase, then this and this increase also loh. apa boleh buat? "


but why is everything rising at a breakneck speed?
already I'm merely surviving .. at times barely surviving

..sigh

BAD-MINT-ON

it's a beautiful saturday morning and a group of girls decided that they want to play badminton.
with great enthusiasm and energy level, we proceed to the payground near keef's home.
don't not know what happened? but it's abit strange that I'm willing to give up my precious sleep to be there by 7.30am


it has been sometimes since me hold a racquet [ and now me forgot how to spell :p ]
for the first few minutes, we were hitting the wind although the shuttler cock (bulu tangkis) was right in front of us.
yah, me getting old.. eyesight no good, hitting not sharp, precision and estimation no good, no energy to run about
but we had a great time laughing at each other..haha..
and the breakfast was great :) although me still didn't understand how the fella calculate.. selamba sahaja :p

ps. although the aunty selling kuih at tayton pasar pagi not open, me enjoy walking the pasar pagi :)
ps. my buttock actually pain on sunday but me still want to play this saturday :p

why do we sometimes hurt the person we love most the most?

after reading there was this little girl story

me have a question
why do we sometimes hurt the person we love most the most?

Human capitalist

heard of venture capitalist? what about human capitalist?
(please don’t get me wrong, I’m not referring to human flesh business)


Now, there's a new asset class .. human capital.
meaning instead of us investing in stocks (equities), bonds, unit trust, futures & options or forex, we can now put our investment on human's potential … productive capacity of human.


Here's an illustration how it works.
Ms.Smarty is looking for funds to complete her MBA.

She applies a contract, going through a rigorous screening that includes a review of her academic transcripts, an essay & an interview.
If she seems promising, the company will invest in her intellectual stock and mentor her, and she will pay between 1% - 4% of her accumulated net worth for every US$10,000 she receives, for up to 15 years after graduation.

If Ms.Smarty makes million, her payments will be hefty. If she earns nothing, she pays nothing. That’s a wager
source : The Star (25/6/2005)


Although pharmaceutical companies used to finance research and venture capitalist look for top talent at top school, this is the 1st time future earnings instead of current assets is considered as collateral for funding.

Who win, who lose or draw in the long term, we do not know.
May be Nobel laureate Milton Friedman who first floated this concept knows best.

Society of Prevention of Cruelty against Animals


me had a confession to make…
me actually went to torture the animal instead of helping them :p
bad of me leh :p
as though that's not cruel enough, me brought accomplice along :p
SPCA has always been a place me wanted to visit,
perhaps it's the doggies ..
just wanted to do something for them for eg. give them love, play with them, bath them
and give something to myself for eg. happiness, learn to take care of animals, learn to be patient, learn to love …


19.02.06
So far in my life, me had never met so many doggies
From small puppies to dogs as tall as me (when they stand on hind legs)
Me know nothing about dogs
But one thing me know, they wag their tails when they are happy and friendly.
Me like to look at dogs in their eyes, they are so trusting.


Got too immerse playing with the puppies,
it was in the car later that me realised me forgot to wash my face … hands washed liao la :p
hehe.. purposely don’t want to wash wan, puppies don’t just lick everyone, they only lick the person they like :p yah, as much as me would like to believe so :p


me planning to go again, anyone?
going to clean dogs' 'poo' wan ah :p
don't say me didn’t say earlier ah :p

Love is ...

just came across some paragraphs in the newspapers,

Finding the love of your life
Posted by Clarrissa at blog.thestar.com.my
As little girls, many of us have preconceived ideas of the ideal man who will sweep us off our feet later in life. When the day comes, you find yourself head-over-heels in love with that special someone, but he’s nothing like the man you imagined. While he isn’t the prince charming you’ve always dreamed about, he is so much more.
The reality is that love finds you when you least expect it. And the person you fall in love with is the one you feel an inexplicable connection with and an indescribable desire to be with.
Perfection becomes what you see in your mates, both strengths and weaknesses, and you realize the ideal man is not the prince who gives you everything but the dark horse who teaches you how to love not only him, but you yourself as well.


very well said ..

T13 – Youth – 15.02.06 - The Star
Extract from reply given by Big Bro column
" We go into relationships because they make us whole. They allow us to show our love and be loved. Sure relationships bring with them some amount of heartaches, and they can arise from a multitude of causes from differences of opinions, values, annoying habits, etc.
For two people to grow a relationship between them, they have to spend time nurturing the seed that they’ve planted, digging around to aerate the soil and make it a conducive environment for a young plant to take root. If they don’t communicate, don’t spend time together, the drought and lack of nutrients will kill the seeds planted at an earlier time when the soil was wet and fertile.


p.s. me think me got bitten by the love bugs lah lately :p pls bear with me :p

Valentine's Day

there was a story ...

Once there was an ordinary girl walking to lunch by herself.
It was just like any other day...the sun was hot but she still prefer to walk far for lunch.
She likes to walk, it keeps her healthy.
She was walking and didn't realised she crossed path with a familiar face, all because she didn't want to wear her spectacles.
Fortunately, the young man approached her, they smiled and greeted each other. They had not seen each other for many years.
The young man was walking back from the place the girl was heading to.
The girl suggested for the young man to join her for lunch which the young man politely obliged.
As they walked, they had exchanges and caught up with each other lives.

At the eating outlet, the girl got herself some food while the young man only had drinks.
As her lunch time is not long, she tried to finish her food as fast as she could while talking to the young man. When the young man told her that she eats alot for a girl, she laughed it off. She don't think she eats alot, she was basically finishing the food on her plate.
If time permits, she will want to sit there and see what other comments the young man will give. Well, to her, at least he's being honest.
Later they found out that they are working around the same area. On their way back, they didn't cross the road even when the traffic light turned red and the cars stopped. They were too busy talking.


fast forward ....

It was a few years later that they found out that they met each other on a valentine's day.
She still likes to walk, she still didn't wear her spectacles, she still suggest the young man to join her for lunch and dinner and she still eats alot.
The young man still politely obliged, he still tell her that you eat alot for a girl.
They are still busy talking to each other, but now when the traffic light turns red and cars stop. the young man holds her hand and leads her across the road.

Enjoy the moment

There are things that you know are worth waiting
Worth waiting because you know you will enjoy the moment
Worth waiting because you know that’s what you wanted


At last me got what I waited for with the help of a good friend, Mai
Me finally get to try the rides at Cosmo World, Berjaya Times Square on 11/2/06
Despite minor hiccups, me really enjoyed the day.

Orrts Express
Where we move in circles at high speed on uneven grounds shaped like waves.
Once it started, me lost grip of the bar and flung towards Mai’s end. Poor girl, me must have ‘himpit’ her very ‘kuat’. It was a funny sight as no matter how hard me try to pull myself back to my end, me ‘himpit’ her more. We were basically laughing all the way as the wind blew our laughter away.

Space Orbit
Not prepared yet for the ‘keng’ rides, we tried ‘space orbit’ where we will ascend to a height about 2 to 3 storey and our seats start rotating in circles. It was windy and they have nice views up there but lack of speed. More of a leisure ride for me personally … like a rotating swing :) but it was nice view looking down from high above.
Roller Coaster (dunno what name)
It was too fast that me didn’t feel the ‘fright’. Me didn’t know we passed the loop till it reached back to the starting point. It was only at one-point near the beginning that got my heart pumping, the rest was too-fast-to-realise where we are. Even Mai agreed that it wasn’t as scary as it looks.

360* (like-it-so-much-till-forgot-see-name)
Ask mai how me go ga-ga over this ride, me just love the feeling when we are hanging in the air supported only by the plastic safety bar across our bodies. Our bodies basically was separated from the chair. While the cute Japanese guy opposite me closed his eyes like a small child, me kept my eyes wide open to capture the moment.
During the first 360* rotation on first attempt, me think I heard my own heartbeat, it wasn’t that fast but I could feel the rhythm.
2nd attempt was a blissful experience, remember telling mai "bestnya" as we were high up above swinging down :)

DNA mixer
As it suggest, it may choke the food we eat out. We were rotated in every possible direction. This sent blood rushing to every part of our body. Me realized my voice almost gone after completing the ride.

Why try the rides? Because me realized me need a little more challenges and excitement to tell myself that life is still great and that I can overcome my fear. And yes I did, the rides wasn’t as scary as I thought or when I’m looking at them from outside. It also bring back the child in me and allow me to know there’s so much more to life ")

me couldn't help laughing remembering these moments.
me think me looked like a locker watchdog :p why ah?
that day, when me holding the locker door open for mai, the young man in front of her put his bag straight into the locker without even asking. me think me looked at him with eyes wide open (expressing shocked la, apa lagi? )
instead this was what happened
(in cantonese)
young man : how to lock this one?
me : put the coins into the slot.
he then inserted 1 fifty cents coins (actually need 2)
me : need 2 coins, where's another one
young man : aiya .. u never tell me need 2 coins. inside bag ah
me : take out n put lah
(he then took another 50 cents coins and inserted to slot)
young man : how ?
me : close and turn the key to lock
(after locking, he passed the key to me ... tak tahulah kenapa)
me : the key, you keep yourself
young man : but I'm going to ride the 'go shan che' ..roller coaster, later it fell out.
(as though me dunno you're taking rides :p
me : keep in your packet (point to the small pocket on his pants and signal him to go for the ride)

and me meet a cute japanese guy (ask mai how cute) that doesn't really speak english. We were 'chicken and duck talking'. we were doing most of the talking with hand signs :p

happiness and laughters, can me wish to have more, can? Posted by Picasa

Happy 'WOW WOW' year

There are too much to say this 'wow wow' year and honestly me don't know where to begin
This Chinese New Year is indeed special ... and one that will be treasured
We still do the same old things but with new different ways with more different people, with more meanings and joy
we still change notes, still scramble around for red packets, still pack angpows, still distribute angpows for my parents
still order and buy cookies, still prepare reunion dinner food (it's steamboat btw), still clean the house last minute, still decorate the house,
still 'pai nian' with my parents, still watch TV programmes, still eat alot of goodies .. not to mention finishing them before guests come :p
but all these were done with so much happiness no money can buy and despite being real exhausted but the reunion dinner compensate all.


this new year gave me more than me can ask for and me really grateful from the bottom of my heart.
It gave me hope and allow me to learn that everything has its beauty.. they really do


Eyes Feast
As with the previous years, me like watching CNY's advertisements
especially those that makes us say in our heart "so true wan" and leave a 'pinching taste' in us
those that reflect our attitudes
topping the list this year is
Petronas AD
3 grandmas 'yam cha'ing and telling each others how great and capable their sons are .. what are their professions, where are they working and how much they are earning (this is so typical but guess parents just wanted to share their proudness having capable children)
Then there's a grandma that has been listening attentively, when was asked by others about her son
she just replied 'he's coming to pick me'
it was the best sentence.
It was a heart warming scene to see the son came with the family to pick her, telling her that they will be going to Cameron Highland, holding her towards the car while grandma ask 'will it be cold there?'
my answer, grandma : it might be cold there but with family together there, you'll always feel the warmth in your heart :)


Food Feast
There's food aplenty during CNY ranging from main dishes to 'in between' cookies, mandarin oranges, junk foods and many many packet drinks..
me think my pants got tighter but it's cruel not to let myself eat during this period :p (err, in fact it's cruel not let myself eat at any other time :p)
knowing how much his daughters can eat :p my dad said to my mum ' ooi order pizza zoh, lei ge looi sa ma mm gao sik' ... 'need to order pizza already, your daughters all not enough makan'
mind you, we were having steamboat with many ingredients :D
yah, having steamboat because me don't know how to cook loh, that's why =.=


but me'll always remember one thing which my parents and babysitter say
' never waste foods. you never know how some people are without food, some working very hard for food '
Eating with our loved ones are such a pure and simple enjoyment .. me discovered


phone feast
yalor..referring to the sms'es received lo
thanks for all your well wishes and very very interesting sms'es
and they indirectly help me learn chinese characters too ;)
but me really want to pose this one leh although it took me some time to decipher
" may ur lokams get bigger & firmer. ur abalone gets tighter & juicy, n lastly may the lup cheong u abuse, is long n as hard as u wish. Gong Hei Fatt Choy "
dunno who send wan leh ho? :p
bro, u still remember u sent or not? :p


WOW WOW
would like to write about 'wow wow' but am afraid me unable to stop :)
me read about people buying pet dogs for the 'prosperity' for this dog year but abandoning the dogs later.
' zou meh ooi hooi gam dui hui dei leh? '
they are kind. Don't believe? read below excerpt
Source : STAR TWO 26/1/06. page T6
