warrants

Do you happen to know that fella by the name Warrants?? =p

On a serious note,

Warrants made their debut in the Malaysian market back in 1990 and are issued by companies as sweeterners in a bond/rights/loan stock issue.

Warrants are securities issued by a company. They give holders the right to purchase shares in the company at a specific price at a specific date in future.

Warrants are tradeable and the value will go up and down as the price of the shares to which they relate (the underlying share or mother share) goes up and down.

Warrants have no right to dividends and no voting rights.

so sorry ...

Dear buddies,

So sorry for the lack of updates lately,
I've been busy with work & some important personal stuffs.

Hopefully once all these is over, I'll be back to my usual many-things-to-say & long-winded style again.

For these few weeks, my learning curve has been steep that I had real good time and great experiences.

meanwhile, please just bear with me for a little while more yah ...

like this ....

1st manipedi-cure

Over the last 20 over years, this is my 1st manicure & pedicure.

Friends who know me over the years will be able to tell that there's never a single day I ever had a nice set of 10 fingernails.

It is either always chapped, torn, broken, bleeding, with dead skins / extra at the side.

To add salt to injury, I've never had been able to keep long fingernails because they get torn before they are able to grow longer. That's a very bad habit I know (which I'm trying to get rid of) but somehow I just tear my fingernail when I get nervous.

'The katak hand" ... that's how my sis say everytime she sees my hand or when I try putting on ring. It somehow stuck in my mind and even I myself think my hand looks like one.

Imagine a bony hand with big knuckles and web in between the fingers, stump fingers with very short chapped fingernails... yucks! =p I know you won't believe what I said, but I'll let the pic do the talking =p

Even today as I'm deciding on the manicure, I refused to do the extension. Reasons being :

1. It's - just - not - me

2. I'm afraid it will break or come off before the photo day itself (knowing how chou lou I can be .... LOL)

3. I'm just too stingy to part with my money (ok lah, part of it ah dear's money... hehe)

4. A not-so-nice hand like mine even with the most beautiful fingernail extension will still be not-so-nice

It was a great experience ...

with the girl attending to me telling me that I've lots of dead skin cell around my nails, that my nails are short and asking me who drew those smileys on my hand (with pen) =p

When the girl accidentally cut the lower skin part of my thumb nail and it bleed, I know how she must have felt attending to a lousy customer like me ... who have never been to manicure before..thus explain nails full of dead skin cells, ... who have never been to manicure before .. thus explain taking so long to choose the colours for her nail.

It took me about an hour 15 minutes to complete the manicure & pedicure, but waiting for the fingernails to dry was a torture.

On a positive note, I get to 'do nothing' (poor ah dear have to help me do everything).

the best part, I like how dear hold me on the wrist =)

Will I go for it again?

I don't think so unless circumstances require me to.

Who say this is not date?

Some friends and colleagues who started dating lately has asked for some suggestions on what to do or where to go for dates? I've promise you, AC to write a post on this =p but sorry for the delay.

Some of these are cheap, some are affordable while some may require a little budget =)

Going to the playground – swing, jongkang jongkit, slide, play badminton (cheap)

Dance at the road side when hear favourite song on radio (cheap)

Volunteer activity (cheap)

Hitting the gym to work out to work out together (a little budget) or you can change this to lake gardens (cheap)

Others are like

Meeting for breakfast (cheap)
Shopping (it's cheap if it's window shopping, else need a little budget)
Sport (cheap)
Attend art exhibition / expo / seminars (cheap but a little budget for those with entrance fee) Yam cha (cheap)
Day tour – scenic / historical route (with a little budget considering the petrol price increase)
Watch movie (a little budget if at cinema, cheap if at home)
Gardening

Of all the above, you asked if I tried everything? I think I had done almost all

Dance at the roadside ???
I’ve even climbed onto the roof of dear’s white Wira =p

Playground???
no one loves swing as much as I do ....LOL
oh…this we always do during the earlier stages of our dating due to my obsession with swings and playground – it was much safer during then. And it’s the cheapest way to have fun provided we don’t get caught by DBKL people for destroying kiddies playground. Had played a few games of badminton with dear too =)

hit the gym???
We don’t hit the gym per say but we did jungle trekking and jogging around the lake. I'm usually the culprit who dragged dear along =p kekeke...

meeting for breakfast??? … especially dim sum – dear’s favourite

exhibition / expo / seminars??
art exhibition – went with dear on the 2nd or 3rd date at KLCC art exhibition centre. We had no idea why we went in but I remembered we talked a lot on the drawings although I can decipher some of them …

yam cha ??
I lost count. In fact it’s like a weekly ritual for our group of common friends. But yam cha on date, we did so 1st time at Midvalley’s Coffee Bean after the Financial Expo and after dragging him along to buy adult diapers for someone at home then.
Subsequently as we have more dates, I’ve always discourage dear from patronizing THOSE outlets with 'STAR' and 'BEAN' (although dear like) because I feel we need not spend so much for yam cha, we can always go for ‘thong sui’

trips???
have been to many trips with dear to place near and far far away. One thing special about dear is he always bring me to places I’ve never been before =)

volunteering???
I always like this idea and think it’s a romantic date to be contributing to the society with your loved one. Been to SPCA but didn’t help much except playing with those puppies and doggies… hehe. Going to old folks home with family and dear is our pre-CNY annual affair. Been to Sunbeams home with dear and our common friends was a fulfilling experience. I do hope we have more of activities like these in future =)

Gardening?? Yippie, can never missed this one. One of my fav, where I get to plant plants and watch them grow and watch how the plants i grow almost di-ed and being revived by dear.

And the good thing about these kind of dates as opposed to normal movie watching and shopping, it's cheaper plus we get to know each other at a more comfortable pace
after all, if we just sit and watch movies, we aren’t communicating with each other, we are concentrating on the screen.

All in all, what we do when we date is of the choice for the 2 person involved. It doesn't matter what we do. It's the companionship and the quality time spent together that counts =)

A big big thank you to all of you

I have so much to say ... so much to write
so much so that I do not know where to begin

I'll need some time to put my thoughts into writing
and share all the whirlwinds of happiness around me ...

Till then, enjoy every breathe we take and every moment that take our breathe away.

Cheers to all =)

Just completed my another run – 6km this time

Just as I was climbing up the spiraling stairs, I was swearing and said to myself … I’ll never want to put myself through this again.

Right after the stairs climb, I saw only black spot in front of me. I slowed down and took many deep deep breathe.
I know I want to complete the run no matter and I told myself I can’t faint or give up at this point.

And the next thing that happened, I actually signed up for the 10km run this August. (yah, I know I just told myself about 30 minutes ago, I’ll never want to ever put myself through this again)

It has got to be the medal … that finisher medal!!! (it’s a finisher medal but it’s precious)
As FL & me made a ‘You go, I go’, I decided to give the 10km a try.

It feels good to be able to conquer my fear.
It feels good’er to be able to train myself not to give up on just a little hardship
It feels good’est to believe in myself and make that believe come true.

I really have many to thanks for bringing me into the ‘Circle’ … Keef, NDC, Poh Wai, the Kong sisters & their friends, and FL, CY who accompanied me all along. And of course dear who gave me the freedom to pursue what I'm passionate about =)
