Change

For once in my life, I hated working. I really feel like lazying around at home.. doing nothing. Can I or can I not? Got my salary, have a long list of things to buy. My manager said I have to get myself something, to treat myself. That is one big lesson to learn as I am always concern about how I should manage my money, to my family and that significant someone. So, on pay day, I rush back home as early as possible and voila! I got myself a new hair cut. Cost me 45 bucks, and I look like a school girl, my mum says. My manager said my mum was just being jealous as I definitely look more youthful with my new bob. :) Clock is ticking and 1 more year, I will hit 30. I told myself to enjoy life, treat myself better. No more sulking over things that I can do but do not have the courage to do. No more complaining bout not getting chances. I have and I can fight for it for sure. I want to look good, and feel nice about myself. I want to do something that I really wish to do so for so long, tr

Customer Loyalty

Will you be loyal to one particular brand? Only one brand. No matter what other brands can offer, or giving you free gifts, and special discounts.... you still stick to one single brand???? I learn a cruel lesson about customer loyalty today. No matter what you give, be it your best service, your best smile, your extra effort to send moon cakes over... from KL to JB.. and your customer can even tell you that she ate 70% of the whole box of the moon cakes... it doesn't mean that they are loyal to you. "Ms xxx ah.... you received my moon cakes?" " Yeah. I got it. Thanks ah.." " Good, so how was it? Do you like it? You share with your colleagues?" " Em.... ya la.. I share but I ate most of it la..." "Oh ok, thats good. Thanks for all your support. Maybe next year I can get 2 boxes of moon cake for you.. Then you can eat more lor.." "Sure sure.. Good ah you all. Can give moon cakes to customer. So rich." " No la.. you su

Illusion

Some things are not meant to be said and some words, are created to make changes. Either its for good or bad, it changes the status quo. And humans, generally don't like changes. I have said something that is not meant to be heard or said. I regretted it. Cause it changed my current life. I was happy before, shortly before today. But now, I am feeling empty. Perhaps I do not know where to head to from here. Life is confusing, and everything that we see and touch, even feel are illusion. It's doesn't stay. One day when I leave this world, everything will be gone. Even the memories, be it sweet or bitter, it will be all gone. Words are more powerful than knives. The scars that it made on one person, it can never be erase or healed. It stays there forever, and yet, the only way to remove it will be the day we die. A friend told me, love is illusion, so is life. I don't agree and I argued. I wonder where is the truth in what he said. But slowly, I am beginning to feel that

I want a tattoo

Tattooing is not a new thing. Looking at few of my colleagues in the office, one could have mistaken them as one of the gangsters 'head' in the movies. Tiger, Dragon, Snake, some funny Chinese characters... For me, I want a simple one. Initial perhaps, or just a letter 'S' will do. But of course I want to be a lil bit artsy, just to show off.. hehehe. Asked mum before, and she said its fine as long as my gran doesn't know about it. Wonder where to get a good tattoo parlor here? Or perhaps I should think bout which part of my body to get mutilated.. It's going to be permanent, so I really should think over. Think real hard Sharon.. Can't wait for my salary this coming Saturday.... lots of things in mind. Updates: 11.10pm 21/09/10 Kev said tattooing is lame.. ya meh?

Sheridan's Coffee Layered Liquer

I'm head over toes on this.. Thanks to Leo who has since quit alchol, I got this 3/4 bottle of this fantastic drink! Consisting of 2 component, 1 is white vanilla creme liqueur and the other one is the dark coffee-chocolate liqueur. The packaging was chic and well thought. It seems that they have done all the research on how to ensure that whenever the consumer pour the liquer out from the bottol, the final drink will always have 2 layers of liquers with white on top and the dark coffee-chocolate on the bottom. Best served on rocks, I would definitely get another one if I have a chance. Somehow, I feel that its even better than Bailey's!

What do I like?

1) Booze. 2) Painting my nails black. 3) Finishing work on time. 4) Reading a good book with a cup of latte. 5) Beaches and sunset. 6) Travelling to unfamiliar places. 7) Watching late night movies. 8) Shoes. 9) Listening to music. 10) Chilling with friends. And it doesn't come with the order above. :)
B left for UK this morning. And I was crying almost whole day. 2 years of relationship, ending this way. We will be friends of course. But the bad habits that I have created through out the 2 years being together, it's not easy to change. B, hope you create your new life there. I will certainly miss you. I tried to recall everything that we have been through together, grow together and being around each other, encouraging each other. Not to forget all the fights and tears that we have poured out. It's not easy to let go, but we have to. I wish you the best in UK. I promise you I will take good care of myself. I will work hard for my promotion, stay healthy, and perhaps go back to gym again after all this while. We will be friends for the rest of our lives. Maybe someday in the future, I will be able to visit you and your family there, or perhaps we will meet up somewhere in another country. Chase your dreams, live your life. Take care, B. Lots of love from Aduke.
