On the first week of work, I already traveled to Unilever's JB office for training with another 2 new CDE and 3 management trainees.<br />
<br />
It was a fun and enjoyable learning experience. People there are very warm to us and I really didn't expect such overwhelmed hospitality! It was a fun learning environment and I like the way the make things less tense and yet at the same time provide you with the necessary help, guides, and advice for you to move further in your career. :)<br />
<br />
Not only that, they do bring us around to the must have food destination in JB. :)<br />
<br />
Looking forward for another new experience next week as I will be traveling outstation to have on ground training. :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11995109828470788201noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080986994252133511.post-74441285677846711502012-06-29T11:38:00.001+08:002012-06-29T11:39:09.938+08:00Blessing in DisguiseToday is the 29th days of June 2012. 2 more days and it'll be a brand new month. <br />
<br />
June had been a month filled with events that had change the way I perceive and understand people around me. It is also a month where I learn that never ever easily trusted someone - even the one who is the closest to you. You'll never know who's the enemy in the blanket right?<br />
<br />
After that fateful incident, I had been thinking and reflecting - am I really happy with my life now? And I listen to what my mind and heart said. <br />
<br />
I'm happy now as things has come to a brand new start - and it's even better! As a friend always said, "Things happened for a reason and the reason is to serve you." Very true indeed.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to an exciting journey in life beginning next month! <br />
<br />
All the best and believe me, when life gives you a test, it is meant to prepare you for a better future. :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11995109828470788201noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080986994252133511.post-64181260901641247272012-06-23T04:11:00.000+08:002012-06-29T11:38:57.942+08:00Thanks! :)Was just awake from sleep due to stomachache and decided to do a short and quick blog post. Received good news after almost 2 weeks. Thanks Universe for realising my wish. :)<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>The past 2 weeks were pretty awful and tough weeks and somehow I managed to pull it through. Should give myself an applause right? I think I deserves it by the way, haha!</div><div><br />
</div><div>I manage to get what I wanted in 2 weeks' time (as I uses Law of Attraction at the beginning of the last 2 weeks). Law of Attraction never fails me. I always get what I attract as long as it is something feasible and you are specific about what you want. It's almost the end of the 2 weeks and I survived! YES! I SURVIVE! </div><div><br />
</div><div><div>Still remember in the last 2 post, I wrote, "Tough time don't last, tough people does." That's the real thing you know. I might look fragile, helpless and weak due to my petite figure and small frame but inside me, I'm a giant, ready to take on any challenges and storms ahead. I believe anyone could go <span style="background-color: white;">through any problem in life - better still with the support of family members and real friends. For me, these two group of people are the most important. They are my pillar of support and provide me ears to listen to my problems and dilemma as well as provide me positive insights in how to go through the storm.</span></div></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div>I'm truly grateful for their presence in my life. You know who you are. :)</div><div><br />
</div><div>OK. Shall continue to sleep now. I;m excited to continue another phase of my life. I believe great things come to people with great attitude and views towards life.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Have a great weekend! :)</div><div><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Almost 25 years you are here in my life. Thank you for your love, guidance, patience and support throughout my life. I know it is not easy being a dad especially you have five kids to look after. You, together with mum have been awesome parents whom try your best in raising us.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Though this is a short note, we know how much you and mum have sacrifice for us - financially and emotionally and we know both of you have to let go of your dreams for us.</div>
<div>

<div>
Thank you. We love you. <3</div>

Nibong Char Kuey Teow @ Teluk Intan, Perak.I just fulfill my crave for char kuey teow and it's from the stall nearby my home. Every Teluk Intan people would know which ckt stall I'm referring to. It's the famous Sg. Nibong ckt. <3<br />
<br />
As far as I can remember, the stall existed since I'm still a kid. And it's still that famous till now. Tonight, I went there at 9.30 p.m. and Aunty Ah Hwa said tonight many people so you need to wait 1 hour. And so I placed my order and went back home (it's just 100 meters away) to bath.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />On normal days, expect to wait for 20 - 30 minutes for this yummy. In fact, I found that Penang ckt is not as nice as this one. Penang people, please prove me wrong k? <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Talking about Penang ckt, Penang's version has prawns and the price is double of Sg. Nibong ckt. But Sg. Nibong ckt do not have prawns. To me, prawns are just sides that aren't that important. The most important are the "wok hei" and taste. For your information, you can request to add "chilli boh" for that extra kick (which I love!). Add on extra fried lards too! Yum!</div>

The price now is RM3.00 per packet. Pretty fair price in comparison to Penang's ckt. The stall opens at 8.00 p.m. till 12.00 a.m. You can opt to sit there and eat (do order a glass of herbal tea to go with your ckt) or take away. I prefer take away as there are pretty much mosquitoes and mosquitoes love me :(<div>

Many things happened and I learned a lot but the ultimate thing is I manage to handle it well.<br />
<br />
I still remember what happen 6 years ago. Something similar happened. But I handle it differently. I'm proud of myself. I'm grateful that it happen in the early phase of my career. I grew up. I learned. I handle my emotion well. I pick myself up.<br />
<br />
Things happened and it cannot be reverse. What's most important now is to keep moving forward. A friend told me, "<span style="color: purple;">Things happened for a reason and the reason is to serve me.</span>" I know it is as there'll always a rainbow after the thunderstorm right? Tough time don't last, tough people do. And I choose to be one.<br />
<br />
I know I can through this. I had been through a lot in life and I know this is part of what I need to go through in order to be wiser and better. Also, I'm happy that some people actually supported me through this. And I feel no regret knowing them [<i>You know who you are :)</i> ] Friends are important when you go through difficult period. And during that time you get to know who are the people who really care about you.<br />
<br />
So, the decision is made and I'm going to do it responsibly and gracefully. Somehow, be thankful of every event that happens in life as they are meant to make you stronger, wiser and more equip to brave future trial and turbulence.<br />
<br />
The most important thing is to be <b><span style="color: #38761d;">POSITIVE</span></b> about life. :)<br />

But somehow it makes me think deeper and harder on what I actually wanted in life.<br />
<br />
Initially, I was emotionally contented and happy that I finally did something new after for almost one year. <br />
<br />
Wanted to go vacation initially but it's not within my budget considering I have so much commitments and I need to save up.<br />
<br />
Yes. I admit I am in stress since 3 months ago. Hormone irregular and sometimes being moody and anti social.<br />
<br />
I tell this out to some people that I'm close to and the feedback ain't that encouraging. It just bring further unhappiness. I just need someone to hear me out. I try to cry as a form of releasing stress but somehow I just can't cry. <br />
<br />
It's a difficult moment and I'm trying to stay positive all the way. Somehow, I just can't bear it any longer. I'm writing this as a form of expression and nothing else.<br />
<br />
You can see me putting up smile all the time but inside, who knows?<br />
<br />
Many people gives me many different opinions and advices and some even said I'm very stubborn. I admit that. I'm a very stubborn person. I stand firm on what I wanted but at the same time when people gives me their views I will consider whether it suits me or not.<br />
<br />
Thanks to you guys I have so many insights to life. All in all, nothing beats my intuition and I trust it. It never fails me. <br />
<br />
A friend said that I wanted so many in life. I'm not young anymore and some of my perfectly planned plans since high school had somehow failed. I'm trying to rebuild it again and I'm racing against time.<br />
<br />
I may not appear to be very concern about it but you don't show your concerned face to others right? They're personal matters after all. <br />
<br />
I just wanted my old self back - the happy me. And that's why I adapt the motto "Cherish Love, Relish Joy, Embrace Happiness" and that's what I wanted to accomplish in life.<br />
<br />
- Side note: I just wrote all i wanted to express out and apologize for the very negative opinions and thoughts.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Until now, I had 4 pairs of Crocs. I own my first pair in March 2009. It was the brown Malindi. It was love at first sight. I still love this model but unfortunately, Crocs do not reproduce it anymore :(</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>What I love about Crocs?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Lightweight<br />Fits perfectly<br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Over time, the shoes will <em style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; line-height: 16px;">mold to</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16px;"> the unique </span><em style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; line-height: 16px;">shape</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16px;"> my </span><em style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; line-height: 16px;">feet!</em></span></blockquote>
Some said the price is a little pricey for a "rubber" shoes but it depends on individuals. For me, it is an investment. My brown Malindi lasted for 3 years. It is still wearable but the sole is already exhausted. By the way, the pink Malindi is the imitation. Bought it out of curiosity as I wanted to test what are the difference between the original and the imitation.<br />
<br />
Original Crocs has the "rubbery" feel when you touch and feel it while the imitation one feel like plastic.<br />
<br />
Nowadays, the designs are getting more and more fancy. And some can even change colour when exposed to the sun! Not bad huh?!<br />
<br />
Still, I love those sling backs like Malindi and I'm actually looking at this model, Thea.<br />

<br />It looks similar to Malindi and it is priced at RM129. Need to get this pair and was having a hard time looking for it as most outlet do not have this model. Haih.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back to the Crocs story, everyone in the family except my brother owns at least a pair of Corcs. Initially, they have this perception that the price is too expensive for a cheap looking shoes. But after they have the awareness of the benefit of wearing Crocs (expecially my dad), they started to make purchase. In fact, dad had been bugging the whole family for a few weeks before we decided to buy one for him and he's so proud of his Crocs that he wears it to everywhere he goes. Lol!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In a nutshell, this is a brand that I will continue to support. I wish they could bring in more variety and colours to Malaysia cause I notice US Crocs' site has so many models that are not available here.</div>

Reasons being it's near to my workplace, good chill out place with colleagues, Tesco is in there and plenty of food outlets!<br />
<br />
Yup. What I want to share today is this restaurant that I discover a few months back - Master Toast. By far, this restaurant serves Western and Eastern food and what makes me like this restaurant so much are the foods and services.<br />
<br />
The first time I went there was with darling Amelia. Don't remember what we ordered but what I know is the foods remind me of my mum's cooking. Only here I can really taste something similar to my mum's food.<br />
<br />
I particularly like their dessert especially gingko barkey with fu chuk. Not to say I'm a huge fan of this dessert (but I really love this dessert), their dessert is very yummy and it's not the diluted type. You can expect lots of gingko inside!<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
Other than that, the toasts are nice too. Colleagues really like their toast and mind you, it's toast on a stick.<br />
<br />
Besides, the dishes are nice and do ask for their homemade sambal. It taste just like mum's! Seriously!<br />
<br />
Service wise, the do deliver to our office for purchase above RM50. Delivery is free by the way.<br />
<br />
Do go and give them a try. You won't regret it! :)<br />
<br />
p/s: Amelia and I just got a complimentary gingko barley with fu chuk today :)<br />

A friend has been telling me about her story and I think it is a serious consideration before she decided to engage to her bf and eventually get married.<br />
<br />
Based on what I can interpret from her side of story, things doesn't seem so good to me. Frequent arguments, and sometimes fight over their past matters isn't a good indicator. I had been through this phase. And it's a very unhappy ones.<br />
<br />
To me, love is love. Ability to commit and go through the future together will be another issue. It needs two persons' trust, commitment, love etc to go through the life long journey. You may be loving him, but you know you won't be able to have a good future with him, and that's the time when you have to make a decision to let go.<br />
<br />
Few weeks ago, she has sat down with the bf and discuss all the unhappiness and issues that stigmatise their relationship for so long. Just an hour ago, she tells me that the bf keep what he had promised her. It's a good sign right? Hopefully it's not a short term ones as I know they both love each other deeply and if both of them can finally let go of the issues, there shouldn't be any problem.<br />
<br />
All the best girl. Hope there'll be good news and I want to see your happy smile again :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11995109828470788201noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080986994252133511.post-72904062867952107642012-05-19T02:03:00.002+08:002012-05-20T17:59:43.125+08:00Food Post: Fish Head Noodle Reviews (4-in-1)This is a 4-in-1 fish head noodle review.

Went for this with Fiona. Fiona is a Sarawakian and she has very good taste bud. Eventually, she said it's very hard to get "coarse" mee hoon in KL and apparently this restaurant serves that besides the regular mee hoon we had.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Soup is fragrant and the mee hoon just perfectly cooked. I choose to have fish paste noodle due to laziness. Their regular portion is actually very large and the have large on the menu also. I have no idea how is the large though.</div>

Apparently this restaurant is very popular. Went for this with Chris the other day. Since it's popular, I suppose the food are awesome. But...major letdown! Worst fish head noodle ever! Seriously! Both of us don't even finish our food. :(<br />
<br />
On the side note, I think they added much MSG cause I feel so thirsty after that. Will not go to eat at there anymore.<br />

Went for this tonight with uni mate, Waiz. This restaurant is also famous for its fish head noodle. It actually tasted good but somehow I still prefer the one from Kaki Bola.<br />
<br />
Will recommend this also. Portion is actually quite huge. Somehow, the fish paste tasted a little salty to me.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
So here's the description for the EDP:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Charming. Mischievous. Desirable. A sexy-sweet blend of raspberry, rose, vanilla and sensual musk for mischievous femininity: Catch my heart if you can!</span></span> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Top Notes</b></span>: Raspberry, Black currant bud absolute</span> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Middle Notes</b></span>: Rose absolute, Jasmine</span> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Base Notes</b></span>: Vanilla, Musk</span></span></blockquote>
<br />
Basically, I had been using it for a few times. I think it suits both day and evening use, just that I prefer to use it during dinners and night outings. It has a very sweet blackcurrant smell and slowly it subsides into soft, powdery, "vanilla-ish" smell with subtle blackcurrant scent. And the scent is very long lasting! Like seriously. It lasted till the next morning! Not that I didn't bath after outings but the scent stayed in my clothes and the whole room smells so sweet!<br />

Personally, I would recommend this perfume as it's not too matured for my age and yet not too girlish. It's just right. :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11995109828470788201noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080986994252133511.post-64372846279901895092012-05-15T09:59:00.002+08:002012-05-15T09:59:40.904+08:00And I decided to blog againIt had been almost a year since I last blogged.

Just came back from watching Kung Fu Panda 2. Seriously, it's <b>GOOD</b>! I mean better than the first installment.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612930313361162194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgorsgRBYNFmDG0VLvbGIp5N6G9M7XaRbGVQX7O66eYt1FWCI945rOgEYxnPER3hWQwtTfMBt0E_Qi2P7CJp0WAch1qJQRXRXRNNd28X3WP_sRIjWuZsyuORZvmrRXFTOQN7X5xr4AOww1j/s400/Kung+Fu+Panda+2.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 250px;" /><br />
Anyhow, you can read the synopsis and things at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_Panda_2">wikipedia</a>. What I want to share here is the values and lessons I learned from the film.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span">Do not hold grunges from the past as they will destroy you.</span></b><br />
Lord Shen, the villain in the film hold grunges as his parents do not want to pass the throne to him because of his greediness. So, he sought revenge by attempting to conquer China. So, in the end, he refuse to repent and get killed during a battle with Po, the Panda.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span">Love knows no boundaries.</span></b><br />
As we know, Po's father is a goose. And in this installment, Po realise that his dad is not his real dad. Anyhow, the goose still love Po as much as he's his own. In addition, I think Po loves Tigress too.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span">I know, not I believe.</span></b><br />
Once, a friend told me before that if you believe something, you're actually not sure if you know it. But if you know it, you know it. Sound's confusing? Well, if you believe in something, it means you're not sure if it' exist or not. If you know it, you're 100% sure that the thing exist.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Find your inner peace.</b></span><br />
This is the recurring words in the film. Inner peace (according to my understanding) is something very relaxing and when you're at it, you will find doing things far more easily, both physical and mental job.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's one worth watching film for both adults and children. Really happy that films (animation) nowadays incorporated beautiful values for us to learn.<br />
<br />
Hope there's more of this kind of films in the future.<br />
<br />
p/s: I think there'll be a Kung Fu Panda 3.<br />

I AM OFFICIALLY <b><span class="Apple-style-span" >GRADUATED</span></b>! Ok, maybe not really officially graduated (convocation is probably end of August or early September) but one thing I know is I do not need to go back to the studying life anymore! :D<br /><br />One more thing, I'd went for 2 interviews and in the mist of awaiting the answers. Just feel that it's a new beginning now. *so happy*<br /><br />It's indescribable feeling that you do not have to study text book anymore and you're stepping into the real world. Meet some awesome experienced people who share with us their experience and skills and advices on surviving the real world. You know, it's like a war zone in the real world. It's like a zoo breed animal being released into the wild. So, you need to pick new skills and change and adapt to your new environment.<br /><br />So, congrats to all who graduated and wish you guys success in your future undertakings and to those who do not make it, it's ok, keep on fighting! :)<br /><div><br /></div><div>Cheers to life!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11995109828470788201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080986994252133511.post-6296416372534701562011-05-15T02:35:00.006+08:002011-05-18T15:22:58.045+08:00The Never Been Seen Before Photos!Just now, I realise that my <a href="http://yinching89.blogspot.com/">sister</a> had uploaded some photos during times when I'm few months old.

Average temperature is about 33-35°C during day time and freaking 27-29°C at night! It's HOT ok. Not the average temperament during the rest of the year. It's SUMMER!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">What the hot weather do to me? Besides giving me constant chapped lips, the outer layer of my lips' skin become so sensitive that it peels everyday and get healed and peel again. Repetitive process for the past one week. Ughhh...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And what else? Sweat so much...even when I'm sitting in front of the laptop now! Anyhow, I notice my face become smoother. Lol. Don't know if it's the effect of sweating as I don't really sweat unless I go out of the house and get exposed to the sun for 1 minute and the sweat will drip and flow from my body like water pipe (it's in the gene).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><img src="http://s2.hubimg.com/u/937349_f260.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; height: 296px;" border="0" alt="" />At this time, I'll refrain from going out after 10 a.m. and before 7 p.m. Reason one: I don't want get skin cancer.

And frequent bathing didn't help either unless you have air-conditioner at home. Apparently, I'm in Kampar home where there's no air-conditioner and I'm missing TI home where there's one there.</div><div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkXFpL4LiNeMVBbGRmMRGO6wtDYrpHavfPMP5M5Z_boQSJsg5g-TzVtBP7DOOdlP_TEKQW_rEzk9opclEtX7v56IyoU13nivt50HEZf4A2LrJz6uQcSzogq-75-Hyk-cMCIzEwixk_iK-f/s320/sun_inf_lg_7r9e1.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" />I still have one exam left which is on this Saturday.

A day specially dedicated to the person who bore us, raise us with care and pamper us till now. My mum is a very special woman, very different from your mummy. My mum is an independent, loving, strong and beautiful woman. And I LOVE HER VERY MUCH.<br /><br />You see, in our family, we do not have this habit/culture of hugging, kissing, saying I Love You and stuff related like that. And yet, we know we love each other so much. For instance, my mum would prepare huge amount of foods and visit us in Kampar whenever she can. And she missed us heaps! I know that cause she called every now and then telling us what happen at home and how we're doing here in Kampar.<br /><br /><div>Most of friends' mum are beautiful and youthful (it's either they're born with it or they take good care of it). My mum is different. She does not care how she look like. Her face is not smooth. She does not has slim figure. She may appear ugly in front of others but not me. She's always my beautiful angel. She always say, "Appearance is not important, it's your ability that matters." I always remember this.<br /><br />Also, because my mum is from the <span style="font-style:italic;">kampung</span> and does not have good fashion taste, she always get bullied by some people. And I don't like people to bully my mum and dad. Even that person is my uncle or aunt, I don't give them face. Whoever bully my parents are my enemy.<br /><br /><div>One rare known fact is my mum only started to learn how to cook after she get married. My mum married at 23-year old and bore me the year after. I would say she's an accomplish cook. She can a variety of dishes, even complicated dishes such as <span style="font-style:italic;">asam laksa</span>, <span style="font-style:italic;">mee rebus</span> and yam cake. Besides, she's a quick learner and she always know what we like to eat. In fact, she know all we like to eat, even our favourite junk food and instant noodle flavour!<br /><br /></div><div>Her biggest wish is to travel oversea. Since she has 5 kids she need to look after, she had to hold on to her dream. Since I will be working soon, and my parents wish to go Beijing next year, I hope I can fulfill their dream. My parents are old and they have hard time in raising us, so I wish I can fulfill this dream of theirs.<br /><br />Happy Mother's Day, mum. Although we're not at home to celebrate with you but you know we love you right? :)<div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAmGRFN2rTuhUiabb36VCKJC45vABQWevVkrf2wdiNzRp1Kcoi5_d9AEQ74wfqTnRSiXDYpjQX6XUfjuLR-ebG9GeLd845werQo9tA-bRACIVgd5Aa-py_MCVoIdzq-PacnCApGAFD3pBF/s320/156845_478775554085_735544085_5990696_2885576_n.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604245538239007986" /><div style="text-align: center;">My lovely parents. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; font-size: small; ">❤</span></div></div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11995109828470788201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080986994252133511.post-31918681050685061762011-05-08T14:51:00.002+08:002011-05-08T15:01:55.280+08:00Once is Good, Multiple Ain't.I regard myself as someone who can take jokes, be it people making jokes about me or other people - WITH <span style="font-weight:bold;">LIMITATION</span>.<br /><br />I can take in all kind of jokes as long as it is not in repetitive form. You can pull my leg on the same issue for once or twice but not more because at that point my will get irritated and angry. I used to do the same to people but not nowadays because I realise it may be making the particular person irritated or angry. I think majority of human would feel the same unless the person is really care less about it.<br /><br />Recently, someone keep on pulling my legs on the same joke. Initially, I'm ok with it but it gets me irritated and angry because that person keep on making the same joke. The person think that I can accept that joke but the person do not realise it is no longer joke - it became an irritant. I know the person meant it as joke but please realise that multiple times of the same joke could end up being a disaster. Just like initially I like eating mutton curry, but when I had them for a few days in a row, I'll get sick of it.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11995109828470788201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080986994252133511.post-8008435212471076342011-05-06T18:07:00.005+08:002011-05-06T18:45:06.544+08:00My Face Story.<div style="text-align: left;">Acne had been a major concern since puberty...and it still is. It had been 13 years (it started when I'm 12) and I had tried almost all available face care in the market, seriously. Now at 24, they had subsides from frequent breakout to breakout before menses.</div><div><br /></div>Though acnes problem has since under control, I'm left with these problems - oily skin, large pores, scars, rough skin and dark circles. I feel so envious with people who have nice skin like my bf. He has good skin and he only use tap water to clean his face and nothing else. Me on the other hand, need to source high and low for products that works for me.<br /><br /><div>Sometimes, they work...for a period of time. That's it. My face condition is because of my body and not external environment. Put blame on the hormone. I guess I might have that extra testosterone hormone which is responsible for acne development (read from somewhere). I guess I don't have much acne now is because of the more stable hormone composition.<br /><br /></div><div>Regarding my acne scars, I bought TCA peel (chemical peel) from US. Read excellent reviews from people who had use them. Even a friend of mine who use it says it's great. Cheap and efficient. I'd use them for 3 times by now and it's lessen the scar. However, you need to be brave to use it. Will do another post regarding this peel.<br /><br /></div><div>Oily skin problem. Until now I still can't solve it. Probably it can't be solve. Only manage to get it under control. I really hate the greasiness and it makes my fringe greasy, my face so shiny and 5 frequently make fun of my face, saying things like shiny "muka oren" (orange face). The large pores are probably the outcome of the oil.<br /><br /></div><div>Dark circle story. Probably it's inherited from my dad. My dad has dark circle. End of story. What I do is buying eye cream to nourish it. The "blackness" won't go away.<br /><br /></div><div>In many of my facebook photos, they are me with make up on. Make up is good in making me looking fresher and beautiful. But it's also tiresome. My nude face just look tired (even I had enough skin). Thank goodness for the invention of make up.<br /><br />End of story. Thanks for reading this. If you have any good suggestion for me to improve my face condition, do let me know! :)<div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghMblkXhCyQ6wrqrRNBnuX451s5bk89l1uop9M6kfJz3ZmUXYMZzD0iUjLU8MIlm_N7jS7GB5qLsFM1fZh2Pxdxx-EynQbtVROkqMyxU3KwJhTqS_AHBe-6atrrWE3oUtzbXZH67rkynkD/s320/Current+photo.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 205px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603551561277299650" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Current photo with make up + contact lens + temporary curls.</span></div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11995109828470788201noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080986994252133511.post-271261850619237772011-05-05T20:38:00.006+08:002011-05-05T21:09:47.407+08:00Lose Weight...Naturally!Recently, I'm hooked to <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/">http://www.dailymail.co.uk</a>, a very interesting news portal that has wide range of news. My interest would be in Femail, Health and TV&Showbiz.<br /><br />I want to share a very interesting article here. It's about how you can curb your appetite naturally and lose weight. The reason I said it's interesting because I gained extra kilos which I "determine" to shed off.<br /><br /><div>I might just copy the whole article content and paste it here.<br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span">APPLES</span></b><br /><br />All fruit and vegetables are high satiety (or filling) foods that contain a lot of water, air and fibre to produce ‘full-up’ signals in the small intestine — but research has shown apples are particularly effective for weight watchers.<br /><br />Once digested, they produce the hormone GLP-1, which sends signals to the brain to persuade you into thinking you are full up.<br /><br />One U.S. study showed people ate 15 per cent fewer calories after having an apple before a main meal. Apparently, the trick is to eat high-satiety foods at the beginning of a meal so you feel fuller early on and don’t compensate later by eating more.<br /><br /><b>TIP</b>: Eat one medium-sized apple 15 minutes before meals to help regulate your appetite.<br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>RED PEPPERS</b></span><br /><br />Feeling the burn could be the best way to get bikini ready, but it doesn’t have to mean hours sweating in the gym. Recent research found that sprinkling just half a teaspoon of chopped-up red chilli peppers on meals can curb your appetite.<br /><br />Scientists discovered Capsaicin — the element responsible for giving chilli peppers their heat — reduces hunger pangs, while increasing energy levels.<br /><br />You won’t get the same effect just by taking a supplement, claim the researchers from Purdue University, Indiana — you have to taste the pepper.<br /><br />And, if you normally avoid spicy food — even better. Those who did not regularly eat chilli experienced an even greater decrease of hunger, especially for fatty, salty and sweet foods.<br /><br /><b>TIP</b>: Most dried and fresh chillies contain capsaicin. Sprinkle half a teaspoonful over main meals.<br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>SEAWEED</b></span><br /><br />Starting your day with a seaweed shake could be the secret to keeping slim.<br /><br />Dutch scientists have found that adding algae, a natural dietary fibre derived from seaweed, to a drink, suppressed hunger pangs by 30 per cent and kept dieters feeling full until lunchtime.<br /><br />Researchers studied the algae in liquid form and found that, upon reaching the stomach, it becomes a gel, slowing down the emptying of food and mimicking the effect of eating solids.<br /><br />The American Dietetic Association agreed that it may stop people feeling hungry between meals.<br /><br /><b>TIP</b>: The algae-based meal replacement drink is still in development, but algae supplements are available from good health food shops such as Holland and Barrett.<br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span">GREEN TEA</span></b><br /><br />The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has reported green tea contains catechins, a substance thought to stimulate the body to burn more calories, helping you to beat the bulge in double-quick time.<br /><br />Drinking three to six cups of green tea a day speeds up the rate your body burns cellular energy by up to 40 per cent, and also increases the rate of fat burning.<br /><br />Researchers found this effect is caused by the combination of caffeine and flavonoids found in the tea, whether it is drunk hot or cold. Green tea also contains certain antioxidants which are believed to have an effect on the hormone Leptin — responsible for controlling appetite.<br /><br /><b>TIP</b>: Substitute other hot drinks for green tea, and consume regularly throughout the day for a figure-fixing beverage.<br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span">EGGS</span></b><br /><br />The quality of egg protein is the highest of any whole food product — second only to human breast milk — and according to a recent scientific review, this high protein content plays a role in weight management.<br /><br />According to a report in the Journal Of the American College of Nutrition, eating two scrambled eggs for breakfast resulted in people eating fewer calories for the rest of the day — and, particularly, the next 36 hours.<br /><br /><b>TIP</b>: Kick start the day with an egg to stave off hunger pangs until lunch.<br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>LEMONS</b></span><br /><br />Lemons contain pectin, a natural soluble fibre and gelling agent, which mops up fat stored by the body, and slows the digestive process so you feel full after eating less food.<br /><br />U.S. researchers found that lemon acids and pectin can slow the absorption of sugar after a meal, and avoid those low blood-sugar dips which can result in snacking.<br /><br />Vitamin C in lemons also helps us to produce carnitine — an amino acid to encourage the body to burn fat. Studies at Arizona State University found that volunteers with adequate vitamin C burned 30 per cent more fat during exercise than those with low levels.<br /><br /><b>TIP</b>: Try to incorporate the zest and juice of a lemon in your diet daily, squeeze over salads, into sauces or simply add to warm water and drink.<br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span">WATER</span></b><br /><br />We all know that drinking water before meals makes us feel fuller, but just how useful is it as a natural appetite suppressant?<br /><br />A study published in 2010 concluded that drinking water just before meals can actually help people to lose weight. Researchers split 48 overweight adults aged 55 to 75 into two groups.<br /><br />The first group was asked to eat a low-calorie diet but not to drink any extra water before meals.<br /><br />The second group was asked to eat the same diet but also to drink two glasses of water (500 ml) just before each meal.<br /><br />After 12 weeks, members of the water drinking group had lost, on average, about 2kg more than the non-water drinking group — simply because they felt fuller during each meal and as a result ate less.<br /><br /><b>TIP</b>: Drink a large glass of water prior to meals. Remember drinking excessive amounts can be dangerous, so be careful not to exceed the extra 500ml recommended.<br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>GARLIC</b></span><br /><br />Researchers in Israel recently discovered that not only can the humble garlic bulb prevent weight gain; it might also cause weight loss.<br /><br />The key to garlic’s health-giving properties is a compound called allicin, also responsible for giving it that pungent smell. But the trial found the strong odour of garlic stimulates the satiety centre in the brain, reducing feelings of hunger.<br /><br />It also stimulates the nervous system to release hormones such as adrenalin, which in turn speed up your metabolic rate so you burn more calories.<br /><br /><b>TIP</b>: Add garlic routinely to all savoury dishes when cooking. Powdered supplements are also effective and help avoid garlic breath!<br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span">SLEEP</span></b><br /><br />If you want to stay slim, get an early night. As you will have read above, leptin and another hormone, ghrelin, are both known to directly influence our appetite — when leptin falls, we crave crbohydrates, when ghrelin levels increase our appetite is stimulated.<br /><br />U.S. scientists discovered those who slept less than eight hours a night not only had lower levels of leptin, and increased amounts of ghrelin, but also had higher levels of body fat.<br /><br />So in a nutshell, those who slept the least, weighed the most.<br /><br /><b>TIP</b>: Get at least eight hours’ sleep a night to prevent over-eating.<br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>CINNAMON</b></span><br /><br />A Scandinavian study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that when volunteers were given rice pudding with three grams of cinnamon, they produced less insulin after the meal.<br /><br />Because insulin is the hormone that turns excess sugar into fat, this means less weight gain. As well as lowering blood sugar levels cinnamon may slow down the<br />emptying of the stomach, meaning it can make you feel fuller for longer.<br /><br /><b>TIP</b>: Sprinkle a teaspoon of cinnamon daily over cereals, yoghurt or fruit, use to season puddings or even stir into coffee. It is especially effective if consumed directly after meals.<br /><br />Source: <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1383610/Weightloss-From-cinnamon-seaweed-foods-naturally-curb-appetite-help-shed-pounds.html">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1383610/Weightloss-From-cinnamon-seaweed-foods-naturally-curb-appetite-help-shed-pounds.html</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11995109828470788201noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080986994252133511.post-84559941998680936652011-05-05T20:07:00.004+08:002011-05-05T20:27:19.000+08:00Leaving Kampar - What I Will Miss Here.<div style="text-align: left;">10 more days to the final final paper of my life as student. Pretty sick of being student and having exam after exam for 20/24 years of my entire life! That's it! No more studies and exam after I finish my Degree! Say YES to working life!</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyhow, I won't miss my life as a student in UTAR but I definitely will miss the beautiful landscape and a handful of wonderful people here.</div><div><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-LtwsMv5mWoRwsoVAXbPa0RfwPApQIuAIiQ4KMSKCcCyZzRxNiKyZd-hMvXYVRYjUnwQSGZlfYePqIEchtenBDBYuDr_rMVUX3gCh8hhyphenhyphenuGfNXsSjFEFw0M_y06fTaFY2IfOaaH4FRdTj/s320/26481_383226399085_735544085_4033058_8305578_n.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603204446767369586" /><div><br /></div><div>Oh, I will miss my house here. My house is pretty nice and I love it so much! It has the same feel as my TI home. Definitely will miss it. I will miss the tranquil and peaceful life here.</div><div><br /></div><div>Food! Kampar has so much good food. That's why I gained extra kilos in my 4 years here. Pretty serious weight gain in which my face gets rounder and chubbier T.T I will miss claypot rice, nice mixed rice, Premas curry house, <i>kedai makanan sihat, </i>pasar malam food<i> </i>etc.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of course I will miss James. And I remember that fateful day when he went away from all of us. Anyhow, he will be dearly missed and remember by us. :) </div><div><br /></div><div>I just realise I don't miss much thing here except the stated above. Much experiences gained from many perspectives - friendship, relationships, human behaviour and attitude which really help me grow up much faster. </div><div><br /></div><div>Anyhow, Kampar is just 45 minutes drive away from TI. So, I can always go back to visit this place! Kampar rocks!</div><div> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11995109828470788201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080986994252133511.post-71216030515355849052011-05-04T06:44:00.007+08:002011-05-05T20:27:42.759+08:00Guide to Online Shopping.<div style="text-align: left;">I know many are afraid of buying via online. They're probably afraid of getting cheated of their money, product shown will not be the same when it's delivered to their house or the parcel lost somewhere in the middle during shipping.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I'd been an avid online shopper since 3 years ago. Reason being: I'm in Kampar and there's no shopping complex and the nearest one is in Ipoh. So, my first purchase is a T-shirt and from that moment on, I shop less at physical shop.</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b>Reasons why people love online shopping</b></div><div style="text-align: center; ">Convenient</div><div style="text-align: center; ">Lots of Variety</div><div style="text-align: center; ">Saves Time</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left; ">So, to you guys who're afraid to shop online and wanted to do so, here's some tips for you.</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left; "><b>1. Buy from reputable sellers.</b></div><div style="text-align: left; ">How to know if the seller is honest? If you want to buy from sellers at <a href="http://www.ebay.com.my/">ebay</a> or <a href="http://www.lelong.com.my/">lelong</a>, you can check their reputation. Here's the screen shoot (marked with red rectangle) on where you can check the reputation of seller.</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSkjhNJlLXr8AeNh6KMvYbJesLuujkzQTqOEgDP06m5D1xKnNTAG5WTROikUg0FTG3UXwY67PEP4NvIan1vlzI7oNUFTD5o4hcnvsU8jgGMQTphXUHmnqXEOPLz7FYimgzzLT975qXP7Hu/s320/1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602629895554022482" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 178px; " /></div><div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG57FnuIi_M_O37jnGMBU9LjCnBNQSl6wWCx7JRgZfTktDlS1R-JqTaMiAsqcqW0AC7BKDqunLeKOOQz4dOXOD9yuUSDH-TGmdc1ux8LCQDbzhoI2Lm_sDH9hOxl8UhAsbkuqJP19C6HYI/s320/Feedback.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602628785794178418" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 178px; " /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left; ">So, how to know if it's safe if I'm buying from blogshops? Here's what I do. I check how long they've been selling and read reviews from sites such as <a href="http://shoppersbite.blogspot.com/">http://shoppersbite.blogspot.com/</a> and <a href="http://fashionista1001.blogspot.com/">http://fashionista1001.blogspot.com/</a> </div><div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left; "><b>2. Buy from blogshops/online store that shows real photo.</b></div><div style="text-align: left; ">This is important if you do not want to get cheated or feel cheated. Most blogshops (especially those selling apparel and accessories) are using photos that are send to them from their supplier to advertise. In that case, I'd get cheated for 2 times and from that moment onwards I only buy from seller who modeled the clothings themselves. Also, make sure you make inquiries such as the vital static of the model (so you know if you'll fit in) and material that the clothing is made of.</div><div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left; "><b>3. Communicate well with the seller.</b></div><div style="text-align: left; ">Make sure communication is clear. Make sure you know what you're buying and who you're buying from. Also, important part is on the payment and shipping details. Really make sure you make payment to the right bank account number and give correct shipping details.</div><div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left; ">That's the 3 rules I practice and I never have any undelivered/lost parcel. My online purchases includes my hp, camera, bra and bags. My most recent purchase is a TCA Peel from a US site. </div><div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left; ">Oh ya, if you're buying from the States or Japan, you can use <a href="http://www.vshub.com/">vshub</a> to ship your stuff back to Malaysia at a fraction of cost.</div><div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left; ">Hope you guys enjoy reading this guide and HAPPY ONLINE SHOPPING! :)</div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11995109828470788201noreply@blogger.com0
