i wasnt sure if i was going to have any new resolutions or anything to say about the coming new year, coz you know, people make promises, resolutions just a few months back upon coming of syawal,or on any other of our own significant days to turn a new leaf to be this and that and now a few months have passed, i am not sure if you or me are any better.

if that sounds rather pessimistic, i am not. i am looking forward to 2005 for many reasons, but i am entering it with a tinge of wariness as well. that somethings i think will remain the same.

whatever it is, may you have a blessed year ahead, coz we can only count on our blessings in such unpredictable times....be true, be kind and make sure you spend it with someone you love.

found this while browsing on a blog, taken from another.



"

And these are the things I know.

I am thankful for every single moment spent with you. Every single moment. The times we laughed, cried, quarelled, prayed, talked, kept silent...the times we just were. I would be lying if I said I've never felt the temptation to "do my own thing", but as I examine my own heart I know that I wouldn't want to do my own thing without you by my side.

I'm aware of the transience of human life - its fleeting nature, and how soon all this will be over. But I want to capture the spark of the moment. and with you everything seems to move in slow-motion and in double-time...all at once.

And in that moment, despite our weaknesses and failings we will find something beautiful that exists solely in the fact that God is who He is.
I want to marvel at the moment with you, holding your hand in mine.

I want to be with you...so very, very much.


"

* okay, that last line i modified from the original's. but it's beautiful isnt it? and says what i would have always said more beautifully.

things that can make one happy


let's first talk about something that make some of us happy. shopping.

i dont really believe in retail therapy honestly..coz i dont like to see my bank account depleting or the bills i get later. but i think i am quite a responsible shopper though i splurge on other things. he think so too..but i told him anyway, when it comes to shopping, i will make a good wife..wont spend my hubby's money away.

to prove the point, i have been using the same handbag which i got from KL last year and would continue using the same one if the zip had not broke (coz someone just decided to tug it when it got stuck to my skirt lining)...and one document bag which was getting worn...

so i decided to go bag shopping ...and ended up with...six bags!!!

from only two-frequently used bags, i have become a bag lady. but he is still proud of me.. i got those six bags for a total cost of $57..aint too bad rite? i shall also try make them last for at least one year.

the day the earth took a jog and wobbled on its axis

..also ermmm..got to know that there is
a geophysicist in the USG who goes by the name of W/A/V/E/R/L/Y P/E/R/S/O/N..i find that funny or just a very apt name for a physicist+geologist studying about earthquakes since he cant escape from studying wave patterns on the seismic charts.

**take action. make a donation. disaster relief for our fellow humankind**

some perspectives shared on the recent event and calamity by friends and family,

"as stories about the tidal wave disaster continue to stay in our consiousness whether we like it or not. the death toll now stands at more than 22 000 and rising. that if we compare to the WTC three years ago is much more. the deathtoll for that event that 'changed' the world was 2795. i am not putting an 'only' in front of that number coz i am not trivializing it but that had so much coverage everywhere plus a special service at a stadium here. was it becoz that was an act inflicted by man..something totally unexpected? or we forgot the numbers from other mankind inflicted disasters?

where is that collective one minute of silence for the children orhpaned, the millions homeless, and the people who had lived below the poverty line now deprived even more?"




and some people, including my mum wont miss talking about it in 'spiritual' terms..

"agaknya ni semua balak? tempat patong tu kan kotor?"

"but aiya, why must wait for a disaster to talk about god? god signs? you want to see god signs..can see everyday and everywhere. you mean we always walk half-blind only waiting for a calamity?"

"kalau ni balak..agaknya air ni semua nak sertu tempat-tempat 'kotor' ni eh?.."



and pasal cakap tempat2 yang kotor ni..me and friend started talking about other places yang kotor..yang mungkin akan dapat laknat dari tuhan..and we asked each other... will it be sentosa next? they are on the way to build a casino, a gambling den and attraction for vices. possible? let's say a prayer..or maybe let's take some action here..if you feel against it.

the day the sea was empty

talked about it with a friend this morning and we discussed the what-ifs especially the moments before the big wave would hit.

" the first wave happened in the morning, around 10 am"

we would either be having breakfast or knowing that we are early risers, and her adventurous self, will want to go down to the beach to see what is left from the night before.

" for a while, the water began to receede far out sea, exposing the corals near the shore and fishes were jumping from one rock pool to another.. the sea was empty. then out a sudden the water started to come back"

knowing her and him, i can imagine they will be extremely curious and would go forward to look at the corals..me on the other hand will be getting worked up and shouting at them to head back.

" such earthquakes of a magnitude of 9.0 on the richter scale are very rare, happening once in a thousand...."'

that line goes out to a friend who was planning to go lanka but somehow her travel plan was not be, as are her other plans to other hotspots. she has an angel watching over her. especially since this particular calamity was beyond anybody's imagination. you would imagine tornadoes and storms hitting these resorts, but even these will be happening off season. not an earthquake and tsunami. especially since the sky was clear and blue, the sea calm before it happened.

received an sms from fren forwarded "am arite but lots of dead bodies around" from phiphi..

i am not scared by the incident. we had planned to go to a southern thailand island next year.. and last we spoke. we think we'll stick to the plan.

not scared as am saddened. as well as humbled... saddened evenmore as we learn about the events and rising deathtoll from the news. saddened by the lost of lives. the lost of families and homes. hearts and prayers to those in sri lanka,india, aceh thailand, maldives, penang and myannmar.

and humbled, for no matter how advanced our science and technology got to be, there is no stopping god's work and the force of nature at its best or worst is always a humbling experience.

last night we were talking about the best and worst of 2004. most of the bests were the man-made ones (best album-franz feredinand, best movie-sepet) and the worst (international event: the narathiwat incident-coz it totally F*K some things i treasure and some plans i had)...but i missed out god's work..

i have a friend who often tell me the end is near..and he said again when the bird flu hit us. i told him..i already thot it was near in 2000..and this is yet another one closer to home .. the fifth biggest quake in south asia since the 1900s..makes it to one of my worst of list of 2004..

"Over 2000 dead as huge Indonesia earthquake wreaks havoc across Asia -areas affected include Sri Lanka, Maldives, Southern Thailand islands and Penang."

"Hundreds injured after tsunamis hit southern Thailand islands of Phuket and Phi Phi"

"Two thirds of Maldives underwater."

..and i am blogging this as i watch the news coz i am affected. my friend just called to say she has a few friends yatching at phiphi..and sounded really worried.and we do have friends vacationing around that area too..there are hundreds missing..thinking about the divers and snorkellers who could be out at sea when the waves hit, make me very very sad :(

but then, i had a schoolmate who feared travelling coz he feared flying. that was before 2001. after 2001 a lot more people became more anxious, and going to the states became a hassle. after 2003, middleeast places like jerusalem and jordan, some of the cities which i had always wanted to visit seemed more dangerous. after october 2002, bali wasnt so safe for a while, after narathiwat, southern thailand seemed not so safe now. i realised i shall not be like my friend, am not going to wait for a few more afters and make me even more anxious or affect my travel plans..coz if i wait any longer, i dont know if there are going to be even more afters. i am just so glad now that i have travelled and not waited to go some places.

............................................................................................

i was caught in a tidal wave of a different kind these last two days. that is of the post-christmas sale// cash registers ringing..i went on a very focused shopping spreee...getting 5 items at mango, all under half an hour and 6 bags at metro!!

she is a gem. she wrote aboutagirl who inspired her..but i find her story spoke to me.

"I had poor self confidence. I floated through life, watching from the outside with fogged visions of what I could have, what I could be, if only things had been that and life had been this. I was tired of collecting broken bits and piecing it back together. Every year I tell myself things will change, things will get better, tomorrow is new, I will be that great person I was destined to be, but no, only days are new, I am still old, with habits that are stale and my life is an assortment of old mould and new fungus." ~ ohbliss.com


today i met a friend who updated me about a certain girl we both knew. she's the type that everygirl can easily hate, coz she has the looks (she once modeled), the money, the brains(double degreed), and a rich husband (who also has the looks, once being the face in citibank card ad)..the most enviable thing tho she has a great drive and motivation..as my friend said, 'she's really garang'..now pregnant after quiting from her rather enviable career, she decided to one day take up writing class, walked up to a woman's mag and marketed and sold herself to them to give her a job. and she got it.

she reminded me then of the go-getters that najah desribed..

"The Go-Getters are the ones who keep their face to the sun (misquoting Helen Keller). You can recognise them by the boundless energy and their relentless spirit. A problem is not a problem, it's a challenge. And they live by these challenges, for they live by the principle that each challenge brings about new opportunities. Each opportunity becomes a stepping stone to their next challenge. They repeat this and become "overnight" successes." ~http://annot8.najahnasseri.org/


i knew her rather well sometime back, and we did a personality profiling exercise together once..and she turned out to be type A. which is the go-getter. the type that does not let life happen but carve out life for themselves. she is blessed of course..but i also know she had her troubles and seen her cry openly, though discretely before.

people always forget that someone who seems to have such a charmed life has problems..coz they choose not to let it show most times. her charmed life i feel then is not about her material or physical possesions but her attitude towards life.

i have not been good lately. i have been bad..and in turn could have unwittingly drag people i care about down. and reading ohbliss and najah, and rememebering A, makes me wish for one thing next year..

to have courage...that means, not to be afraid, not to let my insecurities take over, not to worry, but just get on to doing things .

~have a good year ahead in advance.

what colour will be nice for a bedroom? we need help. coz somehow i am totally out of inspiration now.

but no purple this time..and maybe no green. green and purple* reminds me too much of my present place.

this is for our..ermm "abode"..which is , ermmmm nothing more than 1+1 rooms. and THAT 1 room right now, is not..errr..aesthetically pleasing..at least in my opinion.

we havent even got our bedroom set. he said we can just be very punk about it..which is fine with me..i would just drag in my suitcase on the first day and live off the suitcase..hahahah.. but seriously what i would have wanted was the bare industrial look with grey walls, plain cemented flooring and the mattress on the floor (it is on the floor right now). but cannot. not only becoz his mom's jaw would drop... the floor's parqueted. and we cant do anything about that. so i am left with no inspiration and am sourcing for ideas.

maybe i can start with one of my objects of desire?

tordboontje's garland lamp.
which , khopkhun ka, is now something i own :)



*green and purple sounds like the joker's colour but it's not like that at home..at least when it comes to the decor.

i told him..i dont feel good reading blogs n blogging on the co's comp...then he told me it's not so badlah, people do more incriminating things like surfing P and checking on stocks..

but what do you know..i sometimes do feel like pulling the plug..coz i sometimes feel it is ermmm ...quite a waste of time? in terms of the op cost that you could do other things like make yourself a nice coffee and read the papers, the two hours surfing, i can go shopping, gyming ...or other things LIKE FINISHING MY REPORTS & NOTES!

but as you see, i am still hooked, eh.


They may have done a BIG BOOO BOOO with naming their person of the year..but at least they got it right in calling BLOGS as one of the things that mattered in 2004.

some excerpts from T/I/M/E/:

"Radio had its golden age in the 1930s. In the 1950s, it was television's turn. Historians may well date the golden age of the blog from 2004....

Here's what we discovered about the new medium this year
"


"
1. Blogging Can Get You Fired
When Delta flight attendant Ellen Simonetti, 30—a leggy blond and self-styled "queen of the sky"—began her blog, she thought it would be fun to post pinup snapshots of herself in uniform. Delta wasn't amused and promptly fired her. Undaunted, Simonetti retitled the blog Diary of a Fired Flight Attendant and detailed her legal battle to get her job back.

2. Bloggers Can Be Fakers
Plain Layne, a highly personal blog supposedly belonging to a Minnesota lesbian named Layne Johnson that drew thousands of fans over 3 1/2 years before mysteriously disappearing, was revealed to be a hoax. Hundreds of fans helped track down the real author, Odin Soli, 35, a male entrepreneur from Woodbury, Minn. Later in the year, fake Bill Clinton and Andy Kaufman blogs became hits.

3.Most Bloggers Are Women
Men may have taken the lead in the early (read: geeky) days of blogging, but that's not the case now. According to a survey of more than 4 million blogs by Perseus Development, 56% were created by women. More bad news for the boys: men are more likely than women to abandon their blog once it's created. Call blogging a 21st century room of one's own.

4.Pets Have Blogs Too
It started as an in-joke among feline-friendly bloggers: why not post pictures of their cats every Friday afternoon? Friday catblogging became a hit, and soon even NASA was playing along by posting pictures of the Cat's Eye nebula....... "


these are some of the things the people at T/I/M/E discovered...not v surprising..but what did you learn this year..espcially you know..there were so many kekecohan and stuffs among the blogs this year alone?

THIS DIARY WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

i know i have already got a 2005 diary/organiser from LTS..and it is a useful one. thanks babe. i have in fact used it to write my serious stuffs. seroius dates. serious commitments.


but can a girl have more than one?

saw this at kino, and i simply simply WANT it..




for the days which i need to entertain myself during the boring meetings..

or...

i could just put it in the toilet and check it everymorning to see if TODAY is THE day i should try to conquer the world. heh



you know the raya season is over..ok, christmas is coming but i dont particularly care in fact it is such a hassle to go in and out of town now with the terrible traffic and human jam..i rather stay at home. and worry...

that my holiday is going to end, and now my worry is on my work. that i have been so off it, i have to slowly get back in the groove. tho i cant pin point exactly what i should worry about it but i still worry. crazy.

when i start to worry about work, to tell the truth , i sometimes see my wedding as a huge boulder like i need to get it done and over with, remove that boulder so that i can move on with life. maybe as long as it is not over, it will always be in my subcounsious.

and i think i am a worry wort. i can stay in bed and have this thoughts worrying me so much so i cant sleep.and sometimes they disturb my sleep and i have dreams. and then i will develop ulcers.

he, on the other hand, doesnt seem to get too stressed easily..coz he's the type who deals with things when it is time to deal with it...then he will get really stress. and i have to stay away. i stress myself way ahead while his is a JIT (just-in-time) type of stress. which is better? just different styles..

which we have to deal with sometimes. coz i can be the type that go "ok, let's look up this thing, coz we have to plan for this..and make sure that we dont get into... so that....." while he will like tell me, not now, we will cross that bridge when it is time to cross it.

i dont like to worry so much, coz it can make life miserable, my heart weaker and i heard can die earlier..hahahah..i try to but i cant help it sometimes. maybe it's natural for women to worry more.

"You know that a man must have written that song "Don’t Worry, Be Happy." If a women had written it, it might have said "Worry and Be Happy." "

for his sake tho, i have already warned him..now he will have to adapt and try to handle two worriers in the house next year!


Thursday, December 16, 2004


there was an article on ST last saturday, featuring what they call generation why.

the people featured are termed opt-outers, coz they opted out of the rat race, their fast tracked career in the corporate world to do something else more fullfilling in the off-beaten track.

one thing i felt about that article though is that it featured 'high-flyers' who opted-out but still doing something just as acclaimed in their new pursuits. as in they are not bumming living a bohemian life of travelling and teaching scuba diving..so what about those who simply decided to take time off..or those who decide not to contribute anyway in the economic sense..

he said they will never feature that..coz then it may seem to be glorifying 'bumness'.. heh..but why not?

i am not sure if i really did opt-out. sometimes i think i did. and sometimes there used to be that feeling of uncertainty coz i used to go through what they called 'the wince factor'- that is, 'you know you're doing what is right, but it still feels like a loss'. coz life is good, just not as fast paced as it used to be. and the scariest thought of all, is not knowing where i want to be, i wonder if i fail myself.

and sometimes i also wonder where i am heading for if i stay on what i am doing right now. coz i know what i dont want to do even if i stay on..which leads to the opt-outers that had been covered elsewhere; educated and accomplished women who opt out to become housewives..

in a nytimes article, it was noted how the higher the income, the more the women achieve, the more likely they are to eventually make the choice to opt out of their careers, or scale their careers back dramatically, in favor of family. i wont be surprised if there are many of us here just as keen to do that if we have the choice..honestly, i've considered that.

for now, i do not regret the choices i made but i still cant help feel insecure about some things.

anyway, here's one bit from the article that i like:


"Profs Nash and Stevenson think they have the answer to how young professionals with a yen for doing their own thing could have the best of both - or all - worlds.

Picture a person as a stove with four pots on its burners. Each pot contains the stews Happiness, Achievement, Significance and Legacy in it, with each stew satisfying different needs in different ways. Staying the course is a matter of keeping an eye on all four pots to see that all simmer away nicely, and none over-boil or burn out.

Their solution is: Tend one pot at a time, across the seasons of life. Don't try to do too much all at once."

twas a very nice, relaxed wedding.

and here are few pics from their nikah last sat.

Friday, December 10, 2004


today was another window shopping day...and something else..

but we had a lot of fun..

1)get intimate

things women do..in the name of beauty/vanity or what have you..
and i am talking about intimate wear shopping here. like how many variations can men have or need?

she was looking for a certain type for a certain type of wear. we walked the whole stretch, tried several types. the complicated ones with all the bells and whistles..or shall i say all the strings attached to the barely there of freedom ( the thing that puzzled us then..how to create a cleavage with this ?)

one of the best parts..at metro paragon..a sales lady asked us "so you need it for for the prom?" she could have said..was it for a d&d? or a wedding? but prom..hihihi..

..oh ...and ladies, you must go see the new tangs lingerie fitting room.


2) footwear..my foot

when you just dont think you need any, you see loads of pretty ones..but when you really need to get one, you cant find the right one. i havent found the shoe of my affection.

but i found the perfect spots for a free isqueeze..metro paragon. a few places in there...i was at the one at the ladies shoe section. free trials with no sales persons to bother you. to relieve the stress on your feet and legs from all that exercise..heh


3) the game of life.. and its survival guide.

she spent quite a while reading almost every page of The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Dating and Sex

hilarious and pretty useful in case you need help on...

How to Determine If Your Date is an Axe Murderer;
How to Fend Off an Obsessive Ex;
How to Survive If You Wake Up Next to Someone Whose
Name You Don't Remember . . .



we also spent quite a while contemplating on the game of life. but decided against getting it..lol..imagine..if i feel so looser already in real life..what if i get another beating in the board game..


and this is my star find of the day,

we spent a long while on this. asking silly questions. and flipping the book for answers. perfect gift for the really indecisive.







the key word of today is FRESH, babes. let's wish for

- smile as fresh as the kid's

he told me yesterday

'if you want to see genuine smiles and laughter, look at the kids. when you see them laugh, you know they are really tickled happy and laughing'

- fresh and smooth as a baby's bottom.

erhmmm hmmmm...


- fresh and smooth as baby's skin.


or at least somewhere there. i have drilled into him..to look good for womyn = a lot of money..but nevermind..once in a while, we can always place some hope in a pot of miracle cream.





all these accidents,
that happen,
follow the dot,



chance meetings do not happen for no reasons do they? and wow! we are related!! tak disangka sangka...how to say that in english..we wouldnt have known! if not for what seem like a small comment as we walked pass a curio shop. and also a lot of ifs that preceeded it and that came after that..


it has been an interesting week...but i so do need a break. at least a chocolate treat and coffee for now

else..

i want to be, make that, yes i will be here.. :)

best thing since flavoured steamed milk..

Monday, December 06, 2004


i knew a single someone who's mum always had asked her "when are you going to bring home a malay man to introduce to us?"

..then it got to be "when are you going to bring home a nice man to introduce us?"..

then it got to be "when are you bringing any man to introduce to us?"

so that someone told me..now her mum is saying any nice guy will do..doesnt need to be malay.


however i am unwise with regards to matters on dating and marriage life in our community..coz..ermmm i have only dated 1 guy seriously and had no experience on marriage life obviously. my love life is simplified with absence of exes and a rather small social circle. nor do i know what type of girls our malay guys are looking out for these days..or stories of husbands cheating on wives in our community here. and vice versa.

unwise so cant talk about what's the malay men and women we have here are like..i wish i could write about it. especially as well as she is writing on how it is across the causeway.


i like her. please read on.

The Trouble With Us... Or So We Say.

i want to change the world...





my new addiction.

there's tis concept of being spirited away to another dimension in these anime.and someone also told me, it has to be a school girl being spirited away..






Sunday, December 05, 2004


was watching DS on getreal.

i think she has an enviable job. if i was to be on tv..i think i would like to be her having that programme..apart frm..errr.. being a host of NONA ? coz the nona girls all so glam and the stories they carry are no lightweights either. lol.

anyway, i was watching the last episode of GR on elderly care the other day..

when i was younger, in school and we had to visit the old folk's homes...we were always reminded to take care of our parents so that we wont be like the adults who put up their parents there..but now much older and i have learnt that things in this world are not as black and white..knowing that there's always the other side of the story, i watched GR and guess what the matron said was the most frustrating and common case she had to handle.which we were not told during our school visits.

there are irresponsible kids. but the most frustrating and saddest cases are those with tangled family histories of pettiness, resentments arising from old folks who were in their younger days, irresponsible parents. womanisers, gamblers, child abusers and neglectful. this also somehow also reminded me of sepet's mum in that movie. after years of abusive relationship with her husband, she had to take care of her wheelchairbound husband. but boy, did she abused him in return. lol..

that aside..it also made me think about what my mum had always told me..some things will really test you. some things are utterly unfair. for sepet's mum to burden herself with the man who had abused her and womanized..it would have been easier to pass him to the old folk's home, wouldnt it? why should she bother? as the matron said, that was the common line by the kids who pass their so called neglectful, abusive parents..

but my mum had a lot of times also said that even if you do not get a fair deal in this world, being patient and doing good has its rewards in another place. when i was younger, i thought that was really stupid..but now older, i find myself agreeing to that more often. giving in isnt always such a bad thing..tho i think it's just going to be a real test for oneself to endure it..and remain sane.


anyway, another food for thought from that episode. the matron's parting shot. sort of. parents of today have to take a good look at their family relationship. how many have simply passed the job to the maids..what can that possibly translate in the years to come?




Saturday, December 04, 2004


this is THE weekend of four weddings and ....... that's a whole lot of invitations. so sorry cant make it to all.

was at a wedding of a friend who married a school mate of mine. J & F's. it was really nice partly coz i met so many girls i have not met for years. and also it was one where one get to say 'yah, what a small world country!'

was table-hopping. met a bunch of ole school mates, some still looking the same..some not actually but who are still refreshinly cute. hehehe..we pondered why we keep saying to one another 'you still look the same!'..eventhough we all very well know nobody can say we look anywhere near below 20s or anything like our pinafored selves.

a number of 'i know you's..and also then there was one guy who waved and smiled at me. only that. i dont remember who he was!..hahaah so what was i suppose to do? waved, smiled..then turned to friend again, who also noticed that. checked with each other if we know who he was. we didnt. and continued to talk and pretended to look v busy.kehehhehehe....


nice weddings. nice couples. good food. i think he enjoyed himself too...


two down..now there's still tomorrow's to go to....




Friday, December 03, 2004



my friend and i was window shopping the other day at NAC..and she was telling me about a friend who just bought a new LV original bag. but i was telling her of course she can afford it coz she works in a big oil co. and big oil co pays her big many many months bonus..while we have pathetic bonuses..but i digress. i should instead be thankful for getting a pay though not much but nice enough for some extras.

anyway we were talking about buying branded stuffs..the conclusion was, it's better that we dont waste money buying branded stuffs.. not becoz we dont believe in their quality ..or we really think its a waste of money for everyone to buy branded goods. we reasoned that we shouldnt make fun of people who spent thousands to buy bags or shoes.....like my friend with the new LV bag wouldnt spend the same amount of money on cameras; coz people place different value in different things, and as long as it makes them happy it cant be that bad.

but the reason why me especially and my friend believe we shouldnt buy branded goods..its a waste of our money coz we can never pull off carrying branded goods and people would think we got it from petaling st instead..hahahah

part of the reason, apart from it never really being our style, we dont have that 'glow' or that 'look'. firstly the 'glow' here, as we were tyring to dissect is the 'rich glow'. like that day we were driving down siglap and suddenly someone said 'wow, those people look rich!' ( she turned out to be aimes and friend)..not that they were wearing a lot of bling blings or had big hair or attired in loud brands. but he said they just look 'rich'. i am not sure if you have seen some of this glow in the rich. they have this very clean, very well scrubbed, good skin, hair in place (though not all the time) look. espcially the men. maybe gay men or metrosexuals have it too.but they just look very clean and groomed. you know, some of them already have this look way back in school. my friend said coz we the public transport taking people always reached school looking stressed out and smogged out while the chaffeured in jaguar kids, of coz can appear as unfrazzeled and clean.

else, the 'look' is the very tai-tai branded from head-to-toe very madeup look. or can also say this look macam 'kakak-kakak branded' type of look. this is different from the above 'glow'..coz this 'look' can be faked. but this faking must be consistent..hahahah as we shared, if you want to look branded, must consistenly wear stuffs which look like they were from paragon or nac. even if they were not. cannot one day wear gucci and another day wear something that looks like its obviouly from lemon tree from FE. and this everyday looking like we don a lot of 'bling-blings' or look like we can afford it, is very tiring. and which we have not been doing..hahahah..

so as we said, it might just be a waste if we put money on some brands coz even if i had gotten a cd bag..i have a strong feeling, some people may well ask me..so when did you go KL?

anyway..from this rather bimbo rant..i have to say, i do have had some relatively wealthy acquaintances..and not all have the above two i mentioned..but i know they are wealthy. and there is one lil rule that i realised those truly wealthy abide to:

Don’t discuss money. People with money don’t need to mention what things cost, nor do they appear to care.
