... it’s not easy, I tell you. It’s exciting, yeah, yeah, but it’s so… emotionally demanding.
OK, NOT complaining! -_-'''
Leishia: Ish! So uncomfortable! I need a proper work table man!
Jason: Uhm hmm *tweaking the old piece of metal dubbed the computer*
Leishia: I need to set up a home office already! Hmm, where should it be? *survey the house while juggling the giant of a dictionary and documents on lap*
Jason: Of course.
Leishia: Maybe the guest room? Or this corner here?
Jason: OK. (note the non-connectivity >_<)
Leishia: Hmm, but there’s no fan, no air con!
Jason: *mumble* We’ll get a table fan *eyes affixed to the computer screen*
Leishia: No carpeting? Oh, I’ll need a chair too! You know, those swivel chairs for bosses?
Jason: … sure….
Leishia: And we’ll need to move out the beds too! I mean, it’s an office! Hurloww? *roll eyes*
Jason: *slow-mo turn around and drama 2 sec silence* bring back the money first, and then we talk.
Leishia: O_o Ala!!!! *sulk*emo*pout* >(
On another note,
EVAN ALMIGHTY so rules!!!! You've GOT to watch it! So farny!!!! :D

STRETCHHHHHHHHHHHH
11Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.… and so that is how the money in my hand keeps stretching and stretching, and I’m never short of it no matter how bad the times can be.
12When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted." 13So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. John 6: 11-13
These verses reminded me that God is faithful. He was then. He is now. He will be tomorrow. It’s a promise He has given, but our foolishness to not accept it without doubts.
We should be careful and thrifty with our spending though, not letting any to waste, however small the amount is. Because although God’s promise stands true but it’s not to be taken for granted, for God can bless, He can also take it away.
Praise God! What a wonderful living God that we have with us! It’s amazing isn’t it? The more you dwell in His Word, the more burdens you will shed, the more your eyes will see. I don’t know about you, but I’m so excited about Him!
May He grant you peace too. Have a great weekend! :)

I’m Not Obsessed Lah! But Here’s 6 Things…
Un [uhn]
I’m (mildly) obsessed about keeping the car that I’m travelling in (as in, regardless I’m the driver or not) is driving WITHIN the lane. It annoys me whenever other cars keep eating into another driver’s lane, especially when they are negotiating a curb. It’s rude, hokay! >(
This (so-called) obsession (but it’s not lah) started the time my dad told us children “Always drive within your lane and be mindful”. See. Me good student. *beams*
Deux [duh]
I’m (also) obsessed about “perfect” parking. When I do my parking, I’d try to anticipate if my way of parking will cause trouble or make it difficult for otherbloggers drivers; and when I got used to one spot, I MUST HAVE THAT SPOT.
Just the other day, over at my office car park, I found a nice spot, albeit it’s not really “a spot” per se, which I don’t usually park at. So I putter along to where I usually park, albeit it’s not really a parking lot (haiyah, long story lah, the car park has not enough lots ok).
After I parked at my usual spot, I kept staring at the new, vacant spot I found earlier. After 5 minutes of struggling, I fired up the engine and drove over to the new spot, parked and re-parked (since it’s not really a parking lot, I have to make sure I don’t cause any inconvenience for others mah!), and then finally was satisfied. Kill the engine and proceeded to my reading.
10 minutes later, I felt uneasy. I became fidgety. And now I kept looking over at my usual spot longingly, all the while kept arguing with myself if I should go back there or just shaddap and read (yes, I know the option is OBVIOUS -_-)
Another long story short, I went back to my usual spot loh. Hehe.
Trois [twa]
I’m obsessed about being meticulous… but only when I want to, and it doesn’t necessarily mean I must be like, perfectionist in ALL things I do, hokay?... although, I AM quite a perfectionist, but only in the things that I want to be; otherwise my façade *ahem* is more of a procrastinator, which I am too.
Sigh. It’s complicated.
But there are things that I must be totally meticulous about, and that is…
Quatre [kartr]
I’m obsessed about the things I type out in Word program. When I do type/write, I must be like, totally inspired to. And when that happens, I’ll type, read, revise, retype, realign, revise, retype, rephrase, re-read, re-read, re-read, and then only I save/post/publish. And then I’ll go back to re-read 324 times for 3 consecutive days until I’m satisfied with my own erm, humour... I do a lot of self-amusement, you see... heh.
Cinq [sank]
The same goes to HTML codes. (Disclaimer: I am NOT saying I’m an HTML expert, hokay! I just NEED my layouts to be nice, clean, aligned, and coordinated.)
Six [seaze]
I’m obsessed about being punctual (like at least 10 minutes early sorta punctual). I just need to be early for everything or else I’lldie have no rest. I’ll be grumpy and grouchy. I’ll be extremely nervous, I'll also probably be sarcastic and aggressive or something.
So you know of any good, cheap shrinks?
Sept [set]
I’m obsessed about animals’, especially dogs’ welfare. This doesn’t count, because that’s just being loving and kind hearted (iaitu sifat mencintai haiwan-haiwan dan tumbuh-tumbuhan dalam buku teks Pendidikan Moral. Tidakkah anda juga belajar tentang sifat mulia ini?)
I can’t think of any other obsessions lah! *sigh long long* So I’m not really such an obsessed-freak after all, right?
Duh! I forgot to mention, this tag’s a combo from Peiling-uist and Adino the wife beater. And I'm tagging you.

Boo hoo! No More Jalur Gemilang On My Cake!
Ain’t it amazing what our big guys up there can come up with? Like, jiak bao boh dai zhi zho meh? Now that I’m robbed of my favourite Independence Day activity, what am I to do??? :(
Hokay! Too many things’ going on (in my head and outside of my head), I feel almost… like…. You know, restless, and weak! You know, wobbly sorta weak? Oh wait, if “weak” then shouldn’t be using “!” right?! Because I’m supposed to be “weak” mah! Like, boh lat like that, so how can use “!!!’s” right?
Oh gee, somebody stop me please! I’m not even a hokkien!!!
*Foo*Foo*Breath*Breath* There, there, now lemme see…
Kicking off a small biz project real soon. Pray all things will work to our favour. Oh I don’t think you’ll feel our presence not unless you’re in our area! Hah! Will (maybe) update later. [uh, Jason, is this project a top P&C thing? Erm, woops! Now the whole world knows!]
Someone need help! And we so hope we can help in all ways we can!
I’m getting a little tired of blogging but hey, I started another niche blog nonetheless. Yeah -_-
I’m looking at kick-starting a French club; simple, mindless, for good-ole-fun sorta thing while keeping my French polished while introducing the language to my friends. It’s really fun! JeeJin had a good time bombarding me with all the sweet talking words he could ever summon in English in his entire life and made me translate ‘em to French and have ‘em drafted and saved in his phone so that he can go sweet talk girls! *roll eyes* Tes yeux sont comme les étoiles dans le ciel! Pfft! *snigger*! Anyhoo! Any takers??? :) You'll learn good stuff like this above here! Girls just dig those, you know!
I’m looking at getting a MacBook, because of really good price.
I’m looking at how to get the money if I do, in the end, decide to go for a Mac, because the amount is not accounted for in our budget (yes, married people make budgets and balance sheets. *feel so adult* And we’ve just learned to look at these stuffs in a brand new light!)
One of the many reasons I’m considering a Mac is the designing tools - something much needed for another project I have in mind with a friend.
I’ve got so many TAGS to do until I sleep also dream about them! Confirm I “moh york gau” ade! Blogging’s ruling my life.
That reminds me, I want to blog about something on… uh, blogging? Argh, I’ve lost it!
Trying to grasp and apply as much as I can from my *official* financial guru. I want to disclose his name here, but what if you laugh at me? *sweats*
I’ve since love tra-la-la-ling the finance management/ management aisles in MPH. I’m looking for good books on Ray Kroc too. Tsk. What've gotten into me?!
Next month 17th is our 1st year anniversary! *gasp* so fast?! *faints* I have NO idea what to do! Zilch! Nada! Need to assemble a team of the smartest, craziest, funniest committees ade!!! Oh... did I just give away too much?
Bro Lam vetoed Jason and I to be the actors for the Charade round in Bible quiz… citing reasons such as we are the youngest in the group and that our bones are more agile. O_o''' Act. Stage. Audience. Me. Sweat.
Oh yeah! Suddenly remembered, I just gave some items for my mom to test out the market in her shop! Follow up! Follow up!
Oh yeahh!!! Another friend! Another project! OMG!
[[insert here whatever else that comes to mind later]]
Basically, my life is still a mundane, dull from-home-to-work-to-church-to-home routine, but can you see the speed of my mind?!!! It irks me so much to see all things keep flashing in my mind but always: not the time yet, not now, gotta wait till next month, next Saturday, push this forward, on hold first, no budget now, it’s only happening next week, johhhh! It’s driving me cuhhh-rahhhh-zeeee!!! I want results, and I want them NOW! *ROAR*
O_O
I think I just shocked myself there.

Open Beauty Secret: Aspirin Mask
I’m lousy at keeping secret.
Especially good secret that is meant to share!
Girls (and guys, admit it lah, you're vain too and you’re curious as a kitty! Nyahaha)! Introducing, jeng jeng jeng! The Aspirin Mask! (sounds so anti-climax right? lol)
Yup, you read right! If you’re a die hard beauty-cosmetic fan, you would have heard of this wayyyy before already! Yes lah, I’m slow lah. But when I first heard of it, my jaw almost dropped to the floor, I mean, aspirin?! It sounds so…. chemically wrong. I mean, ASPIRIN?! O_O
After googling (love Google!) and reading about it for days, I thought how bad can it be right if I were to try, right? I mean, everyone’s using it! It’s getting rave reviews! And besides, it’s aspirin! How bad can it be right?! It won't cost me my limbs right?? Definitely not that bad lah!
So, I went out and got myself a box of (24 tablets) aspirin, whip up the concoction, and tested it on Jason. Hehehe.
What??? O_O This is call work smart, hokay?!
Oh, may I point out that, Malaysia is not a fan of Aspirin? Panadol (Paracetamol) is, Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) is not. In US, you can easily get a bottle of 200 tablets for USD 0.99, can you imagine?! And I got my box from Guardian for RM5.40! Gahh!!! Daylight robbery!
So anyway, let me just, put it bluntly, that the mask works!My guinea pig Jason’s skin’s so much cleaner and smoother after each application. We’ve by far applied 4 times already. My skin is the most sensitive of all! And it has been red and blotchy my whole life, but now, after 3 applications, it’s no longer blotchy, the skin doesn’t peel, the redness’ almost non-existent, the pores' shrinking, and no more breakouts. Woots! (But don't expect it to be flawless lah! I mean, all things take time! So don't come splattering your saliva on my face next asking "why your face still liddat wannn? no change oso!!!" -_-)
Yes, yes! Here’s the recipe! Tsk! No patience!
>3 tablets of non-coated aspirins (that’s salicylic acid, NOT Paracetamol OK!), sprinkle a little water over the tablets, just a dot or 3. [edit: I've since cut down to 2 tablets per application as it gives a good coverage already!]
>Then, squeeze 2 or 3 dots of honey (yes! Those you eat with your waffles! I got mine from Tesco for RM4.50 a tub) on the tablets.
>And for a kick of AHA - that’s alpha-hydroxy acid, add a few dots of plain yoghurt to the concoction, and
>Use a teaspoon to crush the tablet, mix well. The tablets should dissolve easily and you should get a grainy texture, but it shouldn't be too runny.
>To apply, simply spread the mixture on your freshly cleaned face, carefully avoiding the eye area and from breathing in the aspirin (I don’t think it’ll cause you permanent head damage, but it’s always good to be careful, ok?), and leave it on for awhile and chill out as it dries. I normally leave it on for 10 minutes, and no more than 15 minutes, just in case it got too drying for my skin.
>After the times’ up, wash it off, and at the same time, very gently rub the aspirin grains in circles with your fingers for about 10 seconds, that’ll exfoliate your skin nicely.
>Then rinse off with water. REMEMBER to apply toner to clean off any residues, and moisturise.
Use this mask no more than 2-3 times a week. And you should know your skin better, so monitor any changes on the skin as you go. However, if you are allergic to aspirin, well then too bad you can’t use the mask.
With this mask, I have lay off buying those fancy schmancy designer products and I can see my skin problem diminishing. Jason was awed and kept raving how much better my skin has become since day one he came to know me. So yeah. :)
I’m not hard selling this, waitaminit... I AM hard selling, hahaha! But! I’m not like, getting any profit out of this hokay!
See, I lub you onot? *smile big big with expanded big wet eyes* nyahaha
Don't take my word for it! Go read up, do your own research and be equipped, knowledge is powah! *Roar* And google is a great start! Hehe. Happy masking y'all! :)

Aspirin is actually a form of Beta Hydroxy Acids or BHA’s, which are found in
many skin creams and work by exfoliating the dull, dead layers of skin, revealing fresh new skin underneath. Over time, BHA’s can help clarify skin tone and promote healing of blemishes.

For The Love Of Tapping Showers!
It was just yesterday I was telling Jason how both our apartments’ bathrooms are so small, and always full of problems. For one, the toilet’s leaking. So yeah. So we promised each other that when we shop for a house, besides it must absolutely be a landed property, the toilets and bathrooms must be like, spacious, well-lit with lots of natural lights, and have a separate wet and dry areas. Nothing irritates me more than wet toilets, bathrooms, and kitchens! Urgh!
So being a freak like that, imagine my delight when I first came to know about taps4less.com! I almost squeal in delight seeing all those stainless steel faucets, taps, sinks, and the endless ranges of showers and bathroom suites!
I’m so eyeing the 4-piece designer bathroom suites range! Those square-ish sinks are so old-school and clean! Oh, did I mention my love for all things WHITE ceramic in bathrooms? It’s like a pre-requisition for my washrooms. Hehe.
Do check ‘em out! And good news for the British! Taps4less delivers for free to mainland UK. So you really got to give them a thought if you’re shopping for all things washrooms!

Humming To Impromp-tuness
There are just so many things I wished to say here but I can’t! Time for a new anonymous blog? :)
Well for the sake of a record and in summary: we went out of the way last evening to meet a couple from the States whom we’ve never ever met before. So obviously we didn’t know how each other look like, but still, all we could think of was, oh dear, quick, gotta beat the traffic and rush to KLCC man! They are waiting already! KL traffic! *shudders*
I was a little upset of course, I was dead tired, there have been many late nights (on weekdays!) lately - coming home late from everywhere, rushing to everywhere, going to bed at 1-ish, waking up at 6-ish, rushing to work, and its all over again, e.ve.ry.day. I thought if I continue to not getting enough sleep, I’d break down.
But yeah, we promised to meet them and even arranged for time and venue already, so we kept to our words (the irony was that, given any other times, we might very well just cancel the meeting! Not that any of the meetings are not important lah, don’t terasa, we love meeting peoplecos we got bored looking at each other ade, hanging out with friends and family, joining in the activities and festivities, just you know, circumstances lah, we stay in Bangi, REMEMBER?)
So I got off work early at 6pm, rushed back to Bangi, Jason not back yet, *grumble*grumble*, Jason came back, freshen up, rushed to Palm Garden Hotel to pick up his brother who came visiting (who’ve been cancelling the trip for umpteen time!), rushed to *gulp* KLCC (I hate going down to KL! Hate it!).
But the funny part was, the traffic was almost non-existent, for a KL standard. We found a parking lot effortlessly, plus we were almost on-time too despite taking a wrong turning and had to make a big u-turn. Go figure.
Amidst the crowd, we identified the guy from afar, and his back was facing us for that matter! We ate at the food court, sharing, telling stories. And this is one true happening guy, so on fire for God! It’s amazing! His testimonies were miracles after miracles!
His American wife was so animated. Haha! Love her humour and her “roll-eyes-like-duhhh “Hairrr-loowww?!! Anybody home?!!!” expressions. And their kids were just gorgeous! Proud products of interracial union :)
Every word coming out from him hit all 3 of us in the heart, unique to each of our situation. It’s just, timely. Simply fantabulous!
I had a great time, sitting there, sponging in every ounce of the energy from this missionary family. For awhile, I regreted my protest earlier.
There’s just so much I want to point out here, so much I want to share from the meeting with you guys. So much. But hey, for now, I’ll just have to learn to differentiate right and wrong timing and place lest I be a stumbling block, aye? Pray I can be a positive testimony and be an encouragement to others too, just like Ps. Dennis, and this beautiful family…

So much for “just a summary”. Hah!

Why The Chicken Cross The Road???
I cannot TAHAN ade!
For a week I’ve been resisting temptation to open up a Word document to type/blog away - anything at all lah! Because I’m just so simply swamped with so many things! Not just work per se, but of course work is the main part of it all because it’s month end mah.
So yeah, I think I’m trying to like, bullet-train blogging here trying to cram as much as I can remember in here. So you can close your window hereon. You're not obligated to read. But if you do, I'll lub you long time! ;)
Let’s see, what happened during the past one week? Gee, time just flies so fast man! Ooo, last week was another Sony event where they had a VAIO up for lucky draw, again. Yeap, you guessed it, I’m not the winner -_- I know! The lappy’s all white and huge screen, and it went to a cheen… ok never mind. Don’t lah call people name, right? My bad. My bad.
So during the event something drama happened, which went like this: I was bored so I played with the press kit given out to us people from the media. I flipped open the file, took out all the documents, pretended reading a bit, acted in deep thought a little, then put it back, and repeated the whole process.
So by the 45346th times when I was doing that, I peeped too close into the file, and apparently my hands moved faster than my brain, and I poked the edge of the papers right into my eyes! And when I opened my eyes I was like, eh, why so blur? Good thing I have a habit of remembering my contact lenses every time something drama happens, so true enough, the edge of the papers that poke my eyes fished my lens out faster than lightning! But thank goodness it dropped on my lap and I managed to detect it!
Drama right?!
And then an uncle who was very bitter so we’ll call him Uncle Bitter, came and sat at my table, and started bickering away about the service of the hotel, the coffee house, the parking lots, the parking system, the country (I so scared some uniformed people will come and detain me, you know?), the hotel rating, the everything! And for an hour we sat listening to him. How sad right? I wished I poked my eyes then so at least I can excuse myself to go insert my eyeball back into the socket. Bleah!
Oh actually before the Uncle Bitter came along, we spotted an ultra yummy girl at the other end of the room and we were like, whoah, check that out! And when she came closer, my ed went like, uh, I think she ate too much! Cos her tummy was like, protruding out. So we stared on a bit, and suddenly something hit my head and I in return I hit his head with the file and shouted, hoi! Pregnant lah! Joh! -___-
But boy oh boy, she was sooo deliciously hawt even though she’s pregnant! She was in this slinky off shoulder gold fitting dress with a belt under her belly, and she was in heels! Just selamba like that strutting up and down the catwalk/stage. Professional right?! She’s also a proud owner of a sponsored VAIO lappy, paid to own it! See the things you get just by being P.R.E.T.T.Y? Haiks. Oh, did I mention? That’s Daphne Iking.
ANYway! I spotted one of the model who did the L’Oreal show some time back. He’s like so good looking, Asian for that matter, he’s an exact clone of Edison Chen! … or is it? Is Edison the cute one? Erm… the guy in Initial D. La La Laaa.
The next day I had to like join one of the road shows my company is running for a FMCG company, supposedly to interview the people who tried the drink. So this elderly uncle came along, looking all amused and befuddled at the same time. He was given a can of the drink, and started talking, like he’s high on alcohol or something.
Uncle: *mumble*mumble* I’ll buy all!
Me: Oh… so how do you like the drink? :)
Uncle: *mumble*mumble* I’ll buy all!
Me: Yeeah. What do you think about chocolate flavour? :)
Uncle: I have the money you know.
Me: I see… Do you like the chocolate flavour? Cos I think it’s really good. :)
Uncle: See. *take out a stack of cash from his pocket all bundled up using rubber band, whispering, wild eyed*
Me: … don’t you like the chocolate drink?
And then you get kiasu people like this girl.
Pigtailed Girl: I want the coffee flavoured *while holding a can of the chocolate flavour drink*
Promoter: How many cans? (all ready to pack the order)
Pigtailed Girl: No, I just WANT to TRY. I DON’T want to BUY!
Promoter: But… you can’t… you already have a can.
Pigtailed Girl: YEAH. But I just WANT to TRY! *virtual DUH*
Then she stormed off. O_o We DON’T want to SELL it to YOU also lah, miss PIG-tailed Girl!
And yet another lady, who came earlier to our booth, then left. Then returned.
Mung Bean Face: My colleagues want to try.
Promoter: *looks around locating her colleagues*
Mung Bean Face: My colleagues want to try! Can you give me a few cans?
Promoter: O_O uh, no?
What’s wrong with Malaysians?! So darn greedy!!!
I just feel like calling her mung bean face. Don’t ask why.
So that was… Thursday. No drama on Friday.
Friday was one of those days lah, I signed in to meebo, and then immediately Jap messaged me “This Sunday cancelled lah! ZZZzzz”
Like. Roll eyes. I came online to de-stress, and that’s the first thing you must tell me. I mean, I’m not angry or what about cancelling lah, just that, the whole sentence’s like soooo negative right? Ish!
We were actually planning for a movie marathon at our place, and for that, Jason, being the clean freak that he is (bless him!) insisted a thoroughly, squeaky, dust-free, everything-free, clean house to greet the visitors, that comes in the form of Jap, Dohny, and Elle-Jay. Like, its only Jap, Dohny, and Elle-Jay lah!
So yeah, you can clearly see how terrible a wife/hostess I am -_- Anyway we started from Monday, we were like, all fours after work, scrubbing and cleaning, all through Thursday (not Friday cos we attended the service with Ps. Dennis, and we stayed over at my parents’ for the weekend).
And then, THIS SUNDAY CANCELLED LAH!
ZZZzzzzzzZZZzZzzz! =_=
But the weekend was awesome because we joined the Mission Seminar led by Ps. Dennis. He calls himself an egg - white outside, yellow inside, and insisted he’s Chinese. He speaks better Cantonese and Mandarin than any of us! Yeah, and he’s an American FYI.
So the seminar was truly eye opening! We had the honour to bring him out for dinner on Sunday with my family. And everyone was SOOOH AMUSED seeing him talking non- stop in Cantonese, espcially my grandma. LOL. He really rawks! For those of you who missed it, well you missed it! Haha! (No, I’m not laughing because you missed it, because that’s actually a sad thing that you missed it. but I was just laughing because I thought it was quite funny of me to say like that, you know - if you missed it, well you missed it… Geddit? OK neh mind lah! -_-)
And then Janvier, a fatherly African man (who has been forcing me albeit politely to speak French with him) brought his French Bible and showed me, which was really cool. I think I should start reading my Bible in French. That’s how Ps. Dennis learned his mandarin anyway! If an egg can learn Chinese, so can a banana learn French! Although… I’m not really a banana banana… -____-
Throughout the whole week I was terribly stressed with all the deadlines to meet and stuff. And worse, I had 2 food reviews to hand up with zero inspiration on how to do it! One being a Malay food resto, and I didn’t even touch the food because it was all cold and fishy smelling; and the other, being a steak house’s.
Me: Eh, my ed say I did a very good with the Malay food review. A stark contrast to reality, how I’ve been complaining about it. haha
Jason: ….
Me: Ello? Are you listening to me?
Jason: Yeah! I’m just thinking.
Me: About what?
Jason: That in that case, you’re a very good bull-shitter.
-_-
Die or not, this sorta spouse? Argh!
I’ve never had so many courses of steaks in my entire life, at one go! We had like 2 appetisers, 1 big serving of chowder, 1 lamb shank, 1 fillet steak, 1 rib eye, 1 seafood platter, and 4 desserts! And I’m not talking about sharing the food with a table of 3 persons. I’m talking about each of us getting 1 full serving each of the above! And I finished everything! I mean, how can you let Wagyu Beef go to waste right? It was sooooo tasty! The wagyu beef thing.
Go check out my magazine this August! It’s a bumper issue with lotsa stuff in there! Best of all, its free! So, yeah, FREE. Malaysians, its FREE. You like it, no?
And then on the same day, my colleagues and I went out for dinner at Bumbu Bali or something, to celebrate someone’s birthday, and the birthday girl was so moody the whole day. Almost like walking on eggshells around her. -____-
And I didn’t eat anything cos I was just so filled to the brim! So I had a Virgin Margarita instead! My fav fav fav drink! I like the salty brim of the glass. Hehe! I rweally like it you know, except the drink comes with shaved bits of lime skin. Blah. That, I don’t like!
Oh there was one night I reached home from work, made tuna and egg sandwich for dinner, and then went straight to bed and didn’t wake up until the next day at 6:15am, which was time for work. Although Jason was saying in the middle of the night I yelled at him for not blanketing me because I was cold. LOL. I is rule! Yes, R.U.L.E. Not RUDE lah ding dong!
Oh hey, I finally managed to use up my DC SUPERHEROES VOUCHER! WHOO HOO! But there’s nothing much to buy there? Like, I spent an hour or so just sifting through the tees. And it’s so… boring.
So in the end, I bought 2 superman t-shirts: 1 black tee with a huge ass gold Superman logo, and the other a military print. 1 mini denim skirt (no, ming yan, the skirt doesn’t come with lace trimmings, or whatever you call it), and one leather belt.
The belt costs a hefty 60 bucks and it doesn’t come with the buckle. O_o Can you imagine that? The buckle alone is hundred over bucks already. LOCO! comprende? LOCO! Oh I have a Super Girl buckle at home already, so I didn’t need to buy the buckle lah.
And the next day I proudly wear my Superman black-tee-gold-logo to work and the next thing you know, my ed also wear another Superman tee to work (we both attended the event together so obviously we both got the same goody bag). I was like, why you don’t let me know first?!!!! And he was like slapping his forehead all the way and kept lamenting how I know wohhhh.
Grrrr.
We didn’t go out for lunch that day. We all tapau-ed and ate in the office. Cis! I don’t want to wear superman clothes anymore!
OK, I HAVE to stop here or I’ll never will. Its way over my working hours ade! How can I be so hardworking?!
Give yourself a pat on my behalf for reading this far! You know I lub you long time! :D

Walk On By: Blogathon 2007
I have wonderful families, great friends, a career in the making, a great husband whom I share a load-full of dreams and aspirations with, a beautiful silly pet dog, and above all, a loving Father in Heaven.
I have everything. And then I read this.
A group of friends, coming together, entering a blogathon in memory of a dear friend who suffered from bipolar disorder - a psychiatric condition that later contributed to her decision in taking her own life.
It was difficult for them to comprehend why things turned out the way they did, what more for me, a passer-by. But all things happened for a reason, and I’m a believer of that. What happened then is going to bring about a wave of awareness now. Surf on over and read from their eyes.
So show them some support! Drop by to cheer them on! That will make a difference, and that, is how we pass the love on.

If you were Val’s friend and will like to say something during the blogathon, please send a copy of your post to us at blogathon07[at]gmail[dot]com. We will post your entry during the course of the blogathon… You can also stay online and cheer us on during the course of the blogathon (from Malaysian time, 9pm on 28th July to 9pm 29th July). And of course, a very practical way of supporting us will be to pledge towards our cause.
So show them some support! Drop by to cheer them on! That will make a difference, and that, is how we pass the love on.

PayPerPost: A Postie's Affair
Sometime late last year, I was introduced to this paid blogging world by a couple (who are now working very hard blogging daily, and earning handsomely! You know who you are. Hehe), actually it was more like coercing me into it! Hmm. Anyway, life has been different since. Well, not different, different per se. More like oh-my-gawd-employment-freedom-so-cool-can-die! different.
So I signed up with PayPerPost then and have been raving about it here. If you’ve been following my scribbling you’d have read about PPP at one time or another. Now I’m not the type of person who’d advertise everything freely without first knowing it has a good product or service and that the customer service rocks, and you know the power of advertisements even though it’s in small scale! I do have my word of mouth ethics and principles, okay! I’m just, anal, like that, if you give me good customer service - a warm smile, a sincere hello, a heartfelt aiding hand, I’m sold!
So PPP has been steadfast in that way - easy to use, nice customer service (they call it customer love ;), and money is paid on time without dramas (if you ask me, this money I earned from blogging is like my personal saving! Wedding and setting up of a home has cost us so much that we actually find it difficult to save for the longest time!)
Through PPP, I came to learn so much more about paid blogging: the ethics, the approaches, the mechanisms, on how to improve and bring progress not just to your bank account, but your blog and your readers. And on top of that, I came to know bloggers around me who are doing sponsored posts too, their sheer determination and will have been a constant drive for me to better myself in not just my writing, but with this blog too, a virtual pad I doubt I can ever bid farewell to!
So if you think you’re up for it and are ready to give paid blogging a chance, look me up! I’ll be glad to share with you what I know! After all, this love has been passed down to me, and so I shall spread it out too! :)

Everyday Minerals: The (Girls Only) Parcel’s Here!
Achtung! Camwhore on the loose!
So yeah, I bought some makeup sample kit last month from Everyday Minerals (remember?!) and it arrived! Joy, joy! But the only frowning moment was the lid of one of the foundation tub was cracked, and much of the powder was wasted :(
I got around playing with it and managed to camwhore with my faulty camera the whole morning the other day, well, I must say, I had fun being a girl! Uh, you know, putting on make up and taking pictures of yourself? *Insert bimbotic laughs*
So anyway, the sample kit is free of charge and it includes 3 foundations, 1 blusher (All Smiles), and 1 concealer, all at your own choice, the idea is that you may blend the different shades to get the right tint for your skin colour, a test and trial kit if you will. And since EM charges me shipping fee anyway, so I threw in a tub of lip colour ($5) too, just for the kick of it!
The powders went on rather effortlessly, though I thought they were a little cakey at first, but I guess that’s only because I was clumsy. Once they were set in, the look was very natural (Even though I over did on the blusher at the first stroke! :x owh man! This whole girly business is so frigging tiring!)
1. Erm, I like this pic. 2. You're suppose to see the blusher colour in this pic, but check out my nose! It actually exists! 3. Erm, filler pic. 4. Erm, for some weirded reasons, I like this pic too. -_- Shaddap! I know lah!
As for the lip colours, personally I find it a tad too dry.

Everyday Mineral is… A full coverage makeup that is easy to apply, all-natural, long lasting, and truly affordable… Makeup that is just as approachable and real as you are.Don’t you love it already? Hehe.

As for the lip colours, personally I find it a tad too dry.
Made from 100% pure: Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Kernel Oil, Carnauba Wax, Candelilla Wax, Aloe Extract, Mica, Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide.
So what I do now is I’ll glide a coat of aloe vera lip balm first before smearing the EM lip colour (Plum Dust) over it. It feels great, it looks natural, it plumps up my pouts, and it lasts quite a while. At $5 a tub (I think that’ll be around RM16), it’s the most reasonable lip colour I’ve ever bought, plus, by the look of it, it’ll last me a lifetime man!
If you’re (as in, my girl friends whom I know personally) interested to test it but for whatever reason (not having a paypal account?) not going to order it online as yet, I can lend you my kit for a try. You’ll only owe me a large McD meal, that’s all! :)
Ba Da Ba Dap Ba! I'm Lovin' It!~
P/S The makeup’s very, very minimal, I only put on all the above mentioned stuff, lined the eyes, and the curly thing… uh, mascara! Yeah. So at least on the pictures, my zits, redness and all are pretty covered and I don’t look pale. Therefore, mission (as a girl) accomplished! Oh did I mention? The makeup lasted the whole day too! :)
P/S/S Hey my room colour matches my blog's colour template! Nyahaha! So cool!

Treating Blues
These pictures always help when I feel like hiding in the deepest, darkest corner, doing nothing but getting emo and punching the wall. Silly bambi Polly hasn’t got her hair cut then; she looks so goofy with the centre 
parting. Hah!
The green beans are chocolates - a gift my sister bought from Bangkok. I thought they’re perfect as wedding favours. Other than that, everything else seems like traipsing on each other and making a big, ugly mess.
Movie in church tonight! I hope it’s good. It must be good, because I always feel safe and secure just being in that sanctuary. Always.
I hope I get to use those DC Super Heroes vouchers this Sunday, haven’t been on retail therapy in a really long time now. Christine was saying her best bet is crying therapy.
Yeah, that too.

There’s Hope For Kajang!
Not so much for Bangi though. But let’s just leave it as that. Hehe.
You know how we ALWAYS complain about Bangi and Kajang. How these places where we inhabit have no proper food joints, no entertainment, no cinemas, full of erm… you know, certain kind of yalams; basically, there’s just no life there. Period.
Imagineour my delight when one day we decided to venture a little further, just a hundred metre further, after the Kajang Hospital or something, we saw a spanking new shopping centre!
Like, WHOAH!
There’s Kenny Roger’s in there, there’s Secret Recipe in there, there’s a few of those little local cafés in there, OOooooOoo and, and then there’s STARBUCKS in there! LOL Not that I’m a big fan of Starbucks, but you know, Starbucks IN Kajang, like a big leap to civilisation man! :x (OK, I know Jason’s going to toast me for even saying that! Like, I'm so city girl! He’s always got this impression that a city girl like me can never survive ajungle small town life! ~_~ Well you’re wrong OK, partially wrong!)
So yeah. Yay! Let’s get happening yo!

Why The Passion Between Me & Pizza Hut Has Fizzled Out
Because…
> Their quality has gone down so drastically, it’s daylight murder!
> Their quality is so inconsistent they had me suicidal!
> Their customer service totally sucked.
> The wait (to summon ANY waiter’s attention, to place an order, having the whole course delivered, etc, oh plus, they'd avoid eye contact!) is long enough for whatever swallowed food to turn into some poison, acidic enough to kill me. And then kill again.
> The last visit, I ordered a Spaghetti Bolognaise which turned out looking like some pitiful left over noodles with left over scraps of sauce with tiny bits of left over meat barely enough to coat the left over noodles. AND, they don’t even bother decorating it with their usual sad twig of parsley!
> The next table’s spaghetti looked delicious enough for me to start comparing! AND he's got a sad twig of parsley decorating HIS noodles! >(
> The last 2 pieces of pizza that I swallowed on Monday, had me holed up the whole night and the rest of Tuesday in the toilet.
> When I visited the doc, I told her I had pizza for lunch the day before, and the first thing she uttered, “Pizza Hut?”
> ‘Nuff said. -_-
It’s time we bid goodbye, Pizza Hut! You and I just won't cut it! So long now! *slo-mo waving*
