Happy New Year 2015!!

So fast time passed... haha.. no I do not have a resolution this year.. never gonna make it anyway..

But from this year onwards, I'm gonna have little post on every annoying things I can post of that's happening to me. Let see by end of this year, how many things had me annoyed.. hahaha

ok done post.

Why you so choosy...?!

Sometimes, I feel sad that hubby is choosy at food. Growing up typical chinese way, his mum cooks noodle, fried meehoon, rice for breakfast for him since young. (Not like purposely cook for him only la, the whole family, I guess probably his mum need to work so she cook those full filling food so they won't get hungry that fast?) off track a bit, I also grew up eating bread for breakfast, rice or noodle for lunch/dinner but I get bored eating same thing everyday and now I like to try on new food/explore new food like western, japanese, korean.. Etc

So, I don't get it when hubby only wants rice. Rice. Rice. *sigh*

Like last week, I suggested we celebrate his birthday earlier cos this weekend is winter soltice and his mum gonna cook and have family dinner. So happen we were in klcc and I suggest western and he kinda reluctant to want to eat western. Well, klcc don't have nice chinese food and we are only the 2 adults that actually eat, can't order a lot. Then we passed by japanese restaurant and I said ok jap food got rice.. He like "ok la ok la" not the  "wow let's try some japanese food" kind 

So we ordered some Japanese set they have and he choosed FRIED RICE as additional order #musteatrice. =.=" *sigh*

And I'm not sure he was rushing that night to go home for soccer, or just not that into the jap food... he ate most of the rice and I ate most of the set's food or sashimi, tempura etc (he tried each of them once and he's done and left them for me... I'm not sure he wanna let me eat more or he's done laa..) but that dinner was a rushed one and I felt not enjoyable... I didn't even have chance to take a picture/family picture! And alivia was cranky cos she sleepy and need me to soothe her aka rock her to sleep. Made a bit fuss there in the small restaurant.. Hmmm. 

Made me not sastified instead. Although he doesn't seems to be.. Dunno leh.. Sigh... I felt when I'm out with him nowadays I'm in a rush and can't buy anything. My trip to the mall is only walk around. Didn't even window shop not enter any shop unless that shop have his things or I really need to get something in that shop... He just wanna get thru it and find a place to sit, smoke and iPad-ing. Then ask me to walk around myself. Sad. 

Or course, our outing at least now includes Annabell so he can't smoke if bell is there so while he sit and enjoy I have to push annabell and shop around. How troublesome? Those narrow aisle is so hard to navigate. No need to buy clothes cos need to try. How to leave Annabell out? Thank goodness nowadays I don't really clothes shopping in the mall(thanks to my turning-Aunty-style-downgraded-and-stingy-to-get-branded wear) 

If I go out to shop alone (I doubt hubby let lor.. Esp alivia is so young now...) I am definately in a rush too cos either hubby will rush me home soon (keep calling with a seriously annoyed tone cos why-am-I-not-home-yet-pissed) or I'll feel guilty and worried hubby can't manage 2 kids or I will have stress in my mind that mil is gonna call me soon so just hurry up and finish already kinds of felling. I'm really unhappy like that. Better not shop right?

Anyway main point of this post is I just saw some ex colleague honeymoons trip to Hawaii and how her hubby seems so happy and so excited like that trying new food in Korea and Hawaii and food my excolleague used to eat when we layover and taking cool laughing pictures and here I am thinking hubby will not eat this, won't eat that. Dislike korean, don't like food w/o rice. How to go holiday when he need rice to survive?? I was doubting he won't enjoy his trip!

How to go Europe when rice/asian food is scarce. Have to like eat meat and western kind of food the whole trip? Heck he dislike pasta!! *horror*

I mean when we dating that time although he less keen on western food he swallow them still but after marriage only he showed his true color of disliking many food? It's so depressing! I feel depressing..!

Not only that. He doesn't like to try new food even though it's asian food! I've been pestering him to try the "boat noodle" for weeks and he seems not keen to go. I'm not sure why lor.. Yes I heard the noodles is normal la just for the sake of some pics and selfie but he is not keen to go try! My point is that! And it's not even expensive! 

Instead today he went to eat "ban Mee" alone at a new shop nearby. And his game obsession with his iPad/phone really irritates me. He can no longer sit down for a nice face to face chat. Yes he is listening to you while you talk but it's just not right. 

Right now I'm like looking for ways to save our sweet times but yet it seems to be ignored :'(

I joined Herbalife!!

10/2/2014 - Candice told me about the Healthy drink store (told me a few times, I didn't really take note cos I thought I wont have the time to stop by) name Mornz near my house so people actually go in there and have a breakfast drink before work, or takeaway... RM14 per drink and you can choose your preferred flavor or have their Special of the day. Their promotion for first timers is buy 5 free 2 and you can decide to buy their 30days or 15? days package later...

Their 7 days member card

To tell the truth this is the 2nd time I join Herbalife. First time was 10 years ago *gulp* when I was still a poor student... the way they market then was look for more people and you make more $ and as a desperate poor student... and I had RM80 in my pocket... the easily influenced Alison throw her money into becoming a member... bought only a box of energy bar to try.. and that's it. Then I felt all their product is over expensive and poor me cant afford...

Back to now, their membership is RM94? and yearly renewal for active member is 38 if not mistaken... (lazy to take the price list out and read)

I have been aiming for a good diet and slim down that ever growing belly. after numerous tries of diet pills and lotions and failed exercise regime, I wanted to try something that works. A dealer dealing with my office is using Herbalife (bringing the Herbalife labeled drinking bottle around Everytime she comes) and I had asked her some questions. She even showed me how fat she was 2 years ago after delivering her son. Tempting to join but the monthly commitment is a little high.. apart from the expensive products, I am to stop having morning breakfast, and dinner and replace them with their shakes... I doubt I can achieve that. And MIL always cooks for dinner... and frowns/nags if I skip them... :-/

Anyway, I finally put my foot down and tried it. By first trying their morning shake, as their "healthy bar" opens at 7am, and they had them all blended up with additional fresh fruits and oats.

13/2/14 - special shake of the day: Strawberry-Banana-with barley. Yumz

It simpled up my life and no need to dicipline myself to wake up extra early and prepare myself a shake. You dont know how "big" the kitchen is and MIL wakes up so early. I doesn't fit me in. The mess, the washing, the heat... hmm.. many many reason to not want to step in there....

Now I just wake up half an hour early to prepare myself and go the Mornz and order my drink and drink my shake while I drive to office. So easy! My challenge now is night time. I already bought a set of Formula 1 and am suppose to drink once at night. I do hope I can make it.

Discipline ALISON!

Also got their aloe concentrate (remove air and *ehem* toxins) and their omega oil (good for brain and I-forgot-what) hehe.. 

Trying it right now as a healthy supplement, if its good, I'll make Henry to join, and see how.. I'm not sure can I get members or not.. hehe... if I get active member I can have more points and earn some moolah lar... ;) 

Good news coming soon ;) Wait for it...

 

#throwback First crafty-worthy project I did

Hi ya...... Blog... Readers...?

Ya. I abandoned ya'll again... Sorry~~

So I'm gonna join a tag crafty workshop tomorrow @ scrap-n-crop (it's free and "sponsored", just bring own stash! And that's how a started rummaging my boxes of "treasures" and found this: 

Back in 2011 I guess.. My first "Vintage Mini Album" project. And how I started hoarding craft worthy tools. Lol

I don't remember if I ever blogged bout this yet. But yeah Imma repeating it today and post this to me " I made this" album in fb later. Teehehehe. 

How I found S&C? Started my first ever scrapbooking with some simple stickers and silver pen on A4 paper, and feeling not satisfied with the end work, I started googling ideas how to scrap better and started taking down pictures and examples in the world wide web.. Till date I have at least 2000 pictures took down and ideas and reference. But only done 3 layouts :( I blame on time, space and procrastination. :((

Anyway when I found those references I started looking for the tools they use to create and lead me from USA online scrapbooking stores amazon and eBay to finally trying to look for stores in Malaysia and online (don't have a car then. Shop online no need people to fetch me and wait for me impatiently.. Lol)

And how I found S&C :))

And when they offered a project and I didn't even know what mini album is... I join in to see what's in it. 

And from that class I learned what is crackle paint, stickles, emboss, tinting, ways to "vintage" a brand new metal box, and so many kinds of stamps out there that I can use and want them all!! WOW..! *over-board-hyper-to-the-max-wish-I'm-a-millionaire-and-buy-them-all*

Enough talk and more show: 

    The inside

    Back

    The mini album inside

    Album; standing- first page

I am supposed to add in picture to that white space but such a small album and then ago I didn't make and print such small picture to put in

But give me time today and I still will not put in pics. I'll make a BIGGER one. This is too small~~

    Album; standing- second page

    Album; standing- third page

Yup. I'll redo it bigger one day. Lol

Ok night!!! Muakz!  

Giving blogger iphone apps another try

Update: The pictures posted is pixelated, albeit I'm already using phone quality photos, compared to a DSLR picture :( And photos are posted at their original setting, so large pictures get offset and needed adjustment from a computer... hmm.. Emoticons not working too.. And my signature not seeing it anywhere! Why!? 

Meh, just bored, distracted by YouTube and fb that made me didn't not manage to do my pedicure even after #babyisasleep early.. And lying down on bed and finding ways to blog more efficiently. Downloaded a new apps Dayre and I thought it links to blogger but no.. So Imma gonna delete that app.. No time to maintain so many things and in a mini-limited-space-i5-that-is-getting-fuller-with-baby-vids-and-pic (ya a long story on why I got myself a 16Gb i5 instead of 32Gb one day) And trying if by using apps my new self-create signature will pop up or not.. Hehehe.. Let's post a latest picca:

This is Hong Kong's McD version of Hello kitty Circus Collection. 

While Malaysia does a second circa if HK collections. And Candice wanted people to get her this from Hong Kong.. If can... FREE. Lol!!

I'm somehow not interested to collect soft toys.. But I did bought the first "Ugly Duckling" Kitty for my ~bell... 

She was so happy this 9 month old (monkey)🙈 can tear the pretty box open and nicely chewing the kitty.. That's how babies show their liking to new toys! Lol! 

Hahah!! Not bad! Can post more than a picca!!! 😄 Did blogger upgraded their apps??! Or did I hit an error last time? And I can put in emoticons!! *hyper*

Missing is putting captions, color, bold or italic fonts.. Upgrade more!!

Let's see how it turns out when I post this up... 

Stuffs I bought from Hulala.my - Online discount shopping portal

No la, not a big deal about this site, but rather, things I have bought...

I wanted to do this so long ago, but ever since with job+baby, blogging took a back seat.. :(

Hell, everything took a back seat, my scrapbooking, my crocheting... haih...

I have a slight time today also because I'm slighty free-er and probably due to lack of sleep(baby having flu and cough, she can't sleep will, neither will mummy), I'm in a dreamy day and have ignored doing my work today. (Then container got hold by custom and no stock arrive yet so more free la... )

Ok back to topic

I guess I started with Groupon.. then more website started getting my emails from I-don't-know-where-and-how and in the end more and more this kind of "discount" site pops up.

Well I would say some stuffs you can't find in retails start popping out. Its good, as this kind of portal gives opportunities to SME a kick off in their biz I think? (But I heard those merchants need to have at least a sum of cash as some site only release payments MONTHS after their item close deal and you need lotsa $ to buy back stuff in bulks for cheaper price..etc) but I only heard rumors.

Some item they might sell quite expensive in retails (rental, utilities bill, salary and profits) so selling online in bulks is cheaper.. But that would be the beginning, now merchant gets smarter, people became lazy to shop out and opt to surf the internet more and rather buy online, some things are actually more expensive to buy with this kind of discount portal. (sorry for the long explanation)

Some quality is ok some not... I'm talking about products lar... I hardly buy services as in food vouchers or spas cos all those locations are quite far like in PJ or I don't have time. And I know la service like spas or facial or treatment is tactic for you to buy their packages.. if you are my reader you'll know what I worked as before... lol.. And my time is last minute, I can't seem to plan early now with baby..

So Hulala...

I think started my first Hulala purchase with a Forever21 bag. Back in March 13 (obviously I viewed back my purchase history.... lol)

I don't know is it an actual F21 bag or not la, who cares now anyway.. but I was looking for a sling bag for outing with baby tagging along, all my other bags are those large tote bags, no zip, heavy that deem troublesome when pushing stroller, carrying baby and baby bags and dangerous to thefts and robberies nowadays in Malaysia.

The price I would say cheap, compared to if you buy them directly from F21 store

I'm still using it till now so I give this bag a 9/10 point. It looks nice too, not too cheap looking. ^^

2) Next would be a Shawl type knitted cardigan..

RM33 is not expensive I guess? its "knitted" what... lol... I bought the one in pink as I thought it look sweet.. WORN ONCE.. That's it.. I doesn't cling to me like how it did to the model, probably cos the model is sitting still while I move about. And I believe the model is petite, Cos the cardigan didn't hang on my waist, feels more like a cropped cardi. And last I worn in I LOOK FAT INNIT! 

I'll give it 2/10...

But maybe I'll try it on again one day when I'm slimmer...  I'll let you know by then!

3) Third purchase with Hulala will probably be the As seen on TV "Amazing TV Whisk" 2 for RM55..

I shared with Candice.. But till now haven't have chance to use it yet.. By time I wanna cook an omelet I probably reached for a fork and whisked it already.. Nope not yet have a chance to make other things in the tiny crowded kitchen.. not even beating on fresh milk for a cuppa... (hmm I shall probably do that!) Perhaps it will serve its good when I moved? Let's hope :)

4) Then here goes the next purchase: Tattoo Stockings....

With the hit of tattoo stocking earlier, and I didn't get them during the rave cos I thought I wouldn't wear it and no where to wear... Then I saw pasar malam at my place selling them but not the design I wanted... So when this pops up in my email and its only RM22.9 I thought why not?They gave a measurement that a tall gal like me can fit, I went ahead...

The parcel arrived quick, I guessed cos it's ready stock, but I AM SO DISAPPOINTED! I couldn't even pull it up to my hips!!! Oh mai gawd!! 

This legging is for like really petite people! I think more like for kids cos I doubt my petite sister could fit into it! Damn disappointed... Gah!

Never trust everything selling in this online discounted sites...(Not hulala only, other sites also) No I didn't change it and I doubt wrong sizing gets to be changed, I am lazy to do so... oh I don't remember why.. I believe the "perks" for these online merchants for selling reject stuff or boasting-a-certain-item-to-a-certain-over-boasting-level is people get lazy to get an exchange or refund as there are tonnes of emails to reply to and forking out more $ to send back the faulty piece and then waiting ages and more emails and callings to do before finally getting a new pair or refund and in the end people (like me) just give up and put aside for donation or give away or just throw! Some merchants also tend to not reply or not answering calls. I have some exampleSS... I'll probably blog in another post...

Ok next!

5) 10 pcs of 24K Gold face mask with bone glue zymogen (what the hell is that) and crystal collagen? 

I bought this but they didn't come, instead got refunded in "credit points" Actually already like bought this pre-cautiously,  cos I don't believe REAL gold mask cost that cheap and 10pcs some-more.. and not refunded in cash, credit points means they "encourage" people too buy again from them!

Probably the merchant didn't get their MOQ... only 11 bought it! But then if not enough MOQ this sites normally continued their sale... hmm no idea...

6) Color Changing Egg timer

I believe I got it a bit higher than the actual price, Cos I don't believe it really cost RM42... And looking at the distorted packaging it arrives in, I believe it only cost like RM5 or lesser.. But what sold me?

It claimed to be able to make the egg yolk half cooked while the whites fully cooked(medium). Or maybe I misunderstood?

I remembered going to Sungkai hot spring and there is this "cooking" place where eggs are boiled for 7 minutes at their hot spring point and the eggs turned out like the medium picture. Whites fully hardens but yolk half cooked with some slight liquid-y flow.. yumz!!!

Bought a tray of eggs and tested on a newly bought mini electrical cooking pot in the office...

Boiling...

Turned down the heat for a nice pic. Timer started to yellow at the sides...

Boil it to medium...

And I got a BOILED EGG :(

No, I did not stop there.. How can I give up so quickly!? I attempted more tries and I got either half boiled eggs or cooked eggs again. I tried medium heat, slow heat, I tried the timer at soft, in-between-soft-and medium, medium, and no eggs I wanted :( I stop here.. Shall paster hubbs to go Sungkai soon! I'm craving for that egg!

Stop ranting rubbish and going on next! Few more to go and gotta go home! (Yes I bought That many from ONE site in less than a year!) If I don't finish this blog today I doubt it'll be posted soon!

7) No 7 will be a 13pcs Hello Kitty figurine in Relax Time Collections..

I didn't know what got into me, but I wanted this set badly.. I gave it a 3rd-4th thinking and finally gave in and bought it. I checked it and the quality was not bad, and now I had it kept in Mummy's home at least till I have a display cupboard for the new home, If Bell is good I'll probably have it displayed in her room... or where-ever~

8) Blushing Hello Kitty 7pcs make up set

I only have 2-3 brushes for make up and what the hell, its full collection in pink! I have a use of it!

This is the main reason I die die stay in office so late (8pm now) and blog! (Can't blog it at home with baby) Sadly I ordered it in June and it never arrives.. I sent like dozens of emails and calls and merchant never reply.. Hulala replied and sorta dragged it long enough to give me a refund. Just got a "credit points" refunded today (5months!!) Don't order anything anymore if Merchant is Vii Synergy Marketing.. Let them go bankrupt!!!

9) Japanese Panda Rice Ball maker set

Well, this is a happy purchase! I like all kinds of cute Japanese stuff! (now you know why Daiso is my fave place to visit!) And I already dreamt of making cutesy food for my baby! Bentos anyone? Haha! But I only found out I got it a little bit expensive than Taobao after I paid for it.. order from TB I can get it at around RM20 and only takes 10 days, this have to wait one month! But not that baby Annabell can eat rice yet... lol!

No, didn't tried it yet.. will talk about it once I do.... Oh well..*shrugs* I'm kiasu like that...

If you notice all the print screen, all last day! no la although some I did bought it last day, some not but when I re-click the link on my history they pops up "last day" as that is the last time they edit the post before a deal closes... 

Ok that's all folks! Thank goodness Hubby stopped reading my blog long ago.. He will keeel me!

Thanks for ever visiting the lonely blog!

XOXO

Update of my life

Now that I discovered I can blog from iphone (cannot upload photo to where I wanted. Only at the bottom )I shall update what's happening I'm my life that's been absent here WAY LONG!! Ok here goes a long long post!

So I got pregnant in June last year (or May if counted from LMP) and I manage to visit Universal Studios Singapore and PLAYED THEIR ROLLER COASTER.. With a fetus inside me *insert scary face* Ok I planned the trip already, bought tickets and only noticed my period is late in Singapore... So I just went ahead... :P


Ultrasound @ 6th week

If Hubbs knew I'm pregnant he wouldn't even let me go Singapore!

Anyway.. Due to previous bad experience, I was in a "not sure" and "wait-and-see" status.. I took my SWEET time after getting back from my trip before I got myself a pregnancy tester.. And another sweet time to meet the doc (6th week) after that.. Didn't want to get all excited yet... At the same time hoping all goes well..

You know what's Hubbs reaction when I showed him my positive tester? Only an acknowledgement.. =_=" I believed he too not giving so much hope, afraid it becomes another dissapointment... :( he too did not rush me to see doc..

But this time apart from first visit to the previous doc, we went to a specialist in Pantai Cheras after Hubbs uncle found out I'm pregnant and suggested his doctor.. (Shall talk about doc in another long post)



Bumps getting bigger as months passes by... ^^

Well time passed.. And my baby seems to grow healthily.. My Tummy getting bigger and bigger as months passed by. While Hubbs made sure I'm at all time safe.. And do less heavy work.. And very sensitive to things I do or going to do too.. *roll eyes*

No sex for the whole of pregnancy, no cold drinks, no coffee, no tea.. Drink red dates tea boiled by mother in law (MIL) alternate day, and occasionally homemade chicken essence with ginseng slice... Twice a day intake of Annum (he even make it for me as I tend to "forget" things) daily reminder to take my calcium, vitamins, acid folics... And frowns when I told him I forgot.. ( so I tend to say I've taken it although I didn't... And secretly take when he didn't see :P )

Well couldn't blame him, as I bleeded in the early pregnancy, fell down on my 7th month.. Each monthly visit to the doc I go with a anxious heart.. Hoping to know my baby is healthy.. And ever since I can feel baby's kick I made sure I can feel it a few times a day.. Felt strange and wish to rush to doc when baby kicks less.. But anyway my baby seems to know mummy's anxious.. She made sure I felt some kick or movements when mummy's worried ^^

Hubbs is generous enough to paid for some expensive birdnest that I started to take after 7th month weekly too *grins*

and on 3rd February 2013....

<3 td="">

baby Annabell is born!!

3.35Kg 51cm in height. Baby is normal and healthy~

Induced.. :) Well Mummy is kiasu and wanna have a dragon baby.. so die die also convince doc to induce. 3rd Feb is like the last day of Dragon year... (according to chinese calender)

So start a life where I will have no life and evolves around baby baby and baby.. and there goes my journey of breastfeeding, mid night waking, lack or sleep, no more sleeping late... etc..

Would like to talk about breastfeeding journey.. but I think I have pretty much forgotten most.. Summary is I bf for 3 months and its a mixed feeding cos milk just seems not enough for my baby.. had my depressed time but its over.... oh well :)

Formula is not that bad.. I grew up on formula too! And Im as healthy as can be. I seldom fall sick also what!

Anyway I had an extra "maternity" leave.. and its unpaid lar~ due to I insist to at least bf baby until 3 months old even though she is mixed fed... (wanna feed till 6th month but had some arguements with hubbs and managed to bargain for 3) as office is an open concept and every corners have cctv apart from the toilet. (and hell no, im not pumping milk in toilet!)

Hmmm.. anyway, Annabell is now 3 month old.. and Im officialy back to work on 2nd May 2013.. same as Hubbs (he had since quit Pensonic and full time in TTS )



@11 weeks old

 Thats the latest picture of my Bell in my laptop.. others in iPhone and its late now I kinda lazy to upload it.. will update later in another post..

So thats it.. will update more when I have time! I have so much things I wish to do sometimes I just dont know where to start!

What I've been up to...

I am very busy you know!! lol!!

Working everyday from Monday to Saturday... just thinking about ONE Sunday off day already make me sad... wonder when D day will come where TTS will be off on Saturday! SIGH..! 

I have lots of things I wanna do! And there's only ONE Sunday!! ARGH!!  

I wanna craft, I wanna sleep in, I wanna read my books, I wanna run a movie marathon... I wanna accompany Hubby, and chores to do! (thank goodness this week the maid came and iron my clothes already!) I wish Sunday has 48 hours!! ya right.. -__-

Anyway cut things short (what time is it now) express blogging!

I crocheted!!

A very very simple baby bootie! I meet Lee chin like last 2 weeks and she is due in May, I thought I'll get crochet up at least A PAIR by May... But my thread is too thin, and I think I've used a small hook... the baby bootie size is less than 3"... how baby can wear when only my two (2!) fingers can go in??!

I'll need to try again... this time with bigger hook!

Oh, side note, Daiso @ The mines selling threads and large crochet hooks.. ^^ they even have crochet doilies.. and only RM5 for 3 pcs!! *hyper* I bought some... :P

Something from the States ^^

Paper wishes having sales.. and I bought some stuffs... hehe.. I wanted to order via d middle person, but he qoute me to freaking expensive, in the end the amount I paid for international shipping is a lot cheaper than his quotes -___-

Rose ribbon

These are like USD 2.39.. after shipping also less than RM20.. I believe they are selling higher in here.. for 1 yard.. Since I never own them before... why not try?? ^^

Vine ribbon set

I couldn't find these here ( I found similar, but ugly) and they are having sale for a set.. I bought them to try.. I used to look for them frantically last time when I first saw them online and on some other ppl's lo and it was kinda expensive... and knowing how I hoard things even if I purchased them I wouldn't use them.. so I actually bought a Martha Stewart vine leaves puncher instead to replace.. haha.. cos I can always buy papers and re-punch them! But since they have sales.. I couldn't missed it right?

I was just putting them back to my "treasure box" and I found pics from Tioman (yes.. still have 2 hubby pics) and I already have a little idea to use these.. I hope I can execute my project quick enough before its abandoned... :/ Now.. looking for ideas to do a jungle lo.. ^^

Yellow mini paper sunflower

These are like 49cents! Why not?? I kinda remember I have bought this before.. but I couldn't find it now.. OR maybe I wanted to get them last time.. oh well, if I really did bought this before.. mean I have more to use.. *light bulb!* hehehe...

Far east clear stamps

Well this is what I'm excited about! Oriental themed stamps! Gonna make CNY cards next year!! never seen this in KL before.. so hyper!

Someone make me do Christmas card first ok.. I still "owe" ppl christmas cards... lol

dazzles

This is my first time purchasing Dazzles... after seeing many times how they demo it.. will try them soon.. hmm.. perhaps those ferns is just right for my jungle theme? :)

I bought this ruler ribbon from TH as well.. just missed taking its pic I guess.. lazy to snap, load and post ady.. late.. hmm.. anyway.. its really cool.. vintage feel.. and on sale too.. so... yeap! I wanted to get that hanger paper clip TH have, but then on second thought I thought I wanna try curl a normal paper clip and see how it goes.. I did it and threw it somewhere in the beads box.. not that nice.. but I guess a few more to practice and it'll be fine... hehe..

Ok.. wasted my time already and its 1.24am now.. plan to watch a movie but my eyes are too tired to stay open.. nitey..

I'm Back... again...

... and I hope my mojo to blog is back too.. :P 

As you know.. I'm getting lazier in taking pictures... 

Anyway... first thing first.... HappY CNY 2012!! ^^ 

This is my 2nd year to celebrate with Hubby... and as the Lee tradition goes... first day is spent in Genting Highlands... Bai nian with Uncle Lim and get BIG angpauss... hehehe..

My outfit on first day.. ^^

I posted this to FB and someone commented I looked like chio tai tai (stylish rich married woman) wtf..

Happy that I can still fit into the cheongsam.. Mummy bought it for me in our Melaka trip in 2010 (she was looking for a Cheongsam to wear for my wedding dinner, and I also wanted a cheongsam.. it was on a sale rack and it fits me)... the cropped tweed jacket? RM65 from times square.. hehe.. Nowadays I somehow becoming more and more "value-considered" when shopping for clothes.. maybe I have had enough during my flying years... maybe I've becoming cheapo... maybe branded clothings are a bit over the top with their prices nowadays... maybe I have earn lesser now... maybe...... argh.. when I wanna get a branded top from a branded shop.. I'll always think there are always look-a-like/inspired one selling somewhere out there.. and I'll rather spend that RM200 to buy that branded top and use it to buy a few more inspired.. Im cheapo like that nowadays.. hehe ^^

Ok. By the time I've done blogging this CNY is over... XP

What's next is an update of my work life... Hubby and his bro have join ventured and open a handphone accessories supplies in Seri Kembangan... and my job is a Admin cum HR cum counter girl.. lol.. ok I mostly do everything.. except holding the $ and accounts.. as I know nothing about accounts.. >.< but.... Im learning as much as I could... *gulp*

Mens hanging up the signboard a day before soft opening on 1st Dec 2011

I designed the signboard!!  ^^ *proud wtf* but then Hubby insist that he THOUGHT about the logo.. I DREW the signboard... -_____-"

fine... $&%^(#*@!

Anyway.. I have to be more hardworking now that I partly owns this business.. XP  working days are Mon-Sat, 9.30am-6pm... only a Sunday off.. Ok its not as bad as working for that 2 months in De H*** Biz.. I get Sundays off..=P

Oh, bout that De H*** Biz... its a long story.. but let me summ it up:

2 months | "spy" | learning how people works in this industry | long hours | 1 day off a week on weekday | far | low pay | boring |  I quit.... the end.. 

LOL

Ok, I'm blocked..  dont know what to write summore.. I guess Im ending this here today...

Oh, btw, I'm missing on crafting... Resolutions 2012: I want to make myself craft something each day.. perhaps starting to crochet back is a good start... and I aim to only crochet flowers/butterflies...and collect them in a jar.. and they will be my embelishments in my future scrapbooking... Otherwise.. I feel like I'm wasting my $ buying SO MANY craft supplies but yet unused.. =/

Then slowly go up to scrapbooking.. I am still aiming to FINISH at least 20 more A4 sizes layouts before venturing to 12x12...

Or if I cant make it.. I'll continue to hons my crochet skill.. perhaps start practising with baby booties.. hats.. everything??

Ok I promose you 'al only 1 resolution first.. keeping it up needs strength!!

I'll post photo once I've done a flower. or a butterfly.. ok?

Now I gotta go.. laundry's done, and I wanna watch my drama and do manicure ^^ taa!!
 

I quit...

Yes.. I tendered my resignation letter.. Well.. Its not that I can't cope in that company... I just couldnt stand their culture there... As I have so far managed to score my target and have my outlets all pass 100%... except this month's Jusco BH outlet.. -__-.. (ok if u wanna count in my June's Lot10 outlet.. I have nothing to say..but I was new...) I even reach a 120CTR(customer turn-up rate) this month whereas my target is 90... ^_^  So... my reason of resigning?

1) I truly dislike that we in this dept. have to work 10-7pm on a Saturday.

2) There is no OT pay for working that long hours. My job description in contract is working hours 9-6pm or 11-8pm. Yet if you have morning shifts and leave on time, you get the "roll-eye" stare.. leave late, there is also no goodbyes from that manager who roll eyed you..

3) Cold calling - its fine... except I cant stand to lie just to make people come.. whatever the promo ends this week is fake. As long as there is respond to that promotion, the promo goes on...

4) Customers lie too. They just sounds like really interested to come for an appointment but then did not turn up, saying forgotten, emergency, lazy, busy, turn off hp, no answer... etc.. sick of it

5) Managerial position people are really ass-holes..(I have stories in that too) but then.. if they are not assholes, they won't be sitting there to command you today.. ;)

6) HQ consultant have to make minimum 70 cold calls a day. (Outlet 30 per day per person) Raya season: HQ 100, Outlet 60... crazy.. in 70 cold calls I made, 10 gets thru and listens to you, 2 fix an appointment, the rest would be no answer, network message, voice mail, hang up, pick up silent. You are lucky to not get scolded... In that 2 appointments you make, probably that 2 person will not even turn up or answer your call anymore after that.. or they keep postpone and refix that bloody appointment.

7) Due to Raya season, response is really low, due to a) people need to spend $ on celebrations  b) all balik kampung or puasa reasons.. So what they do when follow ups have all been called thru?(1 outlet have 3 outlet consultants, 1 HQ consultant.. and if that outlet couldn't achive their target, temp staff are being hired to back up. 1 old outlet may have 2000+ old datas. 4 consultants to make 250 calls a day, in less than a month, all datas have be called and recalled, making them "trash data".) Sometimes I do pity those people who sms in, as they will be bothered and annoyed for 1 whole year or more, unless they come for that appointment. Or, change numbers... After they come for appointment, they also get calls from skin consultants for that regular appointments... -___-

8)There is this system they created where all datas are only 1 years old, older than that, they will be exported out from system. When response is not enough, and target is not reached, system data have been "trashed", they exported some 2-3years ago numbers for us to call. Name them archived data. Now this is worse. in 100 calls I made, I get ZERO appointments.. but then my follow up calls are really high :)

9) Company's dirty culture. To hit 7million sales per month, those consultant made all kinds of dirty tricks to get $ from you; to hit sales target or "to close a sales" consultant must collect a minimum RM500 from you no matter what trick they use. So no matter how sincere I ask people to come for appointment, I promised them free first facial, next thing I get complains that to get that "free facial" they have to pay RM500 to be member; 1 bloody eye treatment cost RM430? RM9000 for 10 collagen-and-i-don't-know-what-else-in-it treatment?? Riddiculous! If you are just that strong and do not want to sign, you get "threaten" by bigger size consultants, then 2 more will come in, then later another manager will come in and ask rudely.. some said they lock the door and not let you out unless you pay some "deposit" Or said their package is today only offer and next time come back no more such offer, just to get you pay... sigh!

I could say I myself was a victim too... I went for a first trial in LWM for like RM20 6-7 years ago and the next thing I know after treatment I was being brain washed for package. When I couldn't afford, they asked for my atm card and start poking them into the machine and "extract" my savings out. Thank godness I was poor student and couldnt pay full amount! Till today I have RM1000 inside and still unused 8 treatments!! >(

NewsFLash! The boss n wife took a trip with a few top manegers/directors to Milan recently and the wife had spent SGD100000 (or was is 500000??) for branded bags! How we work our ass off and how lavishly they spent! Woohoo!

I would be really stupid for not leaving... yes unless my face is that damn thick!

Weekend~

I watched all the season finale of my favourite American dramas on Saturday... =D  (GG, OTH, DH... TVD ady watch) yeah I know I am so late to catch up but yeah I was that busy.... kinda...

I went back to Seremban finally, after near 2 months. Yes Seremban is near Kajang, but this is the only weekend I get to have Saturday and Sunday off.. ;) or just tad too lazy to go back cos I rather spend my only Sunday chillax... =P

Though I did not achive a 40 visits this 1-10th (some extra $ incentive if I do) but I kinda got no more mojo when I know the yellow rally will affect everywhere... :(

Yet this 2 days was just too short and not enough for me to start a layout scrapbooking or a little bit of knitting, I wanted to knit my own sun hat and some baby booties for Soo's new born baby girl~ can't wait for her to stop by KL and meet her... I hope...

Also didn't have the "time" to edit my Macau-Zhuhai-Shenzhen pictures.. (mostly Macau, cos I stoped taking pictures in mainland due to excessive window shopping and shopping =P

Mr Hubby went pms just now for I did my laundry late at night and ask him to help me to hang it up... He don't get it why I love doing laundry at night.. But I have my reason... the sun here is limited due to condo blocks so if I do my laundry early morning Im afraid it won't be dry enough by evening.... So doing laundry at night, the clothes are like 40% drier by morning... at least I done my laundry at night I don't have to wake up earlier to do it in the morning = more sleep...

And Hubby was like "why can't you do it in the weekend??" like hello, I have to work on Saturdays, and if Sunday I would love to got some sleep in than stressing to wake up by the alarm just to do laundry.. And these 2 days weather was a bit cookoo... I wanted to wash the bedsheets.. It's already 2 months and its starting to have.. "nice" smells.. =(  And I just can't only do laundrys on weekends? I might have to clean the room, do ironing (though thank goodness I din't have to this weekend) Not that I have maid to help me... >( and not that YOU will help... >( >( Mr.Un-appreciate!!

Anyway.. enough of complains about Mr Hubby.. time to sleep.. hope to be able to leave office early the whole next week and start editing picture to blog and post.. T__T

I'M HIRED!! =D

Went for an interview today in Menara IGB... in this company that opens Yumnam, London Weight Management and New York Skin Solution...

While on my way home.. They called to confirm me! And I am to start work next Wednesday!! haha! So soon! =D

Its a Customer Service Officer, calling and receiving calls and inquiries for either one I'm working above.. and persuade people to go to the outlets, and each successful visits I get my commision.

Well, I don't know how tough is it, or the target that I'm able to hit.. I do hope is an easy peasy job *finger crossed*

Pay wasn't that much that I expected, but well.. pretty sufficient I think..

And Hubby said this is only temporarily, till his "shop" is ready for bussiness, and I am to help him there.. =)

shit.. it hits me now that I have to start working in a week's time.. o.O" Time ti keep away my crochet and scrapbooks?? I dont know... =(

Wellness, Yoga and Detox...

I am easily influenced. full stop.

1 minute, I want to get my hands on scrapbooking... Later, I wanna learn nail art... Then, I want to learn baking and cake deco... And then, I wanna make soaps.... NOW.... I wanna join a detox programme... TT__TT

All like "hangat-hangat tahi ayam" / 3 minutes heat lor... SIGH...!!!

A KE junior (ex Qatar crew) just posted some detox programme she went in Phuket for 7 days, where you fast, only drink water and have supplements.. NO FOOD... for 7 days... and you also have to do colomas (stuck a tiny hose to the rectum and cleanse our bowel) and apparently it is really detoxifiying...

Beachfront loaction..

Balinese style bathroom... hmmm.. :)



Colema room...

I clicked on the website she gave and indeed, Im convienced I should go for one too!

You see, I always have constipations... My stomach is always bloated... and recently, many break out on chin area, which associated with our digesting system... most importantly, Im fat... Yea yea yea.. I know.. there are fatter people out there... yes our weight and size grew as we age.. we can always excersice more and be healtier and thinner... etc...

No, I want to detox like her... >(

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna...! Full Stop!

I was amazed that she went alone.. Very daring.. For me, I wish I can bring Hubby together.. since he is also fat (but he amazingly can go toilet 2-3 times aday!) or a friend... and I wont be alone there with strangers.. (I am kinda a social hermit... cannot make much conversation also.. *roll eyes*)

Fact: Do you know that when we go poo-poo, it is not the food we ate yesterday or today? It is food we probably ate 10 meals ago??!!

Some fact written in the website... and you know when you do colomas, food as long as 9 months ago can come out! (they said the guest dint have grapes since 9 months ago and they found grape seed in the poo...) O.O!!

Apart from the detox, there is yoga, and even a daily massage!




yoga at the beach.. how nice!!

Now, I should practice my yoga more, so when I go detox it helps more! =D 

The only thing is that you I have to quit coffee, food, sweets, carbs... even after the 7 days for a better effect.. can I do it?

Is this another 3 minutes heat? I don't know... =/

Sadly, this kind of detox doesn't come cheap.. the minimum treatment is 3 days and its already RM2300. And my ex colleague took the Ultimate programme, 7 days... and it was RM6100! exclude room rates and air ticket.. T_T but they were many testimonials and even media saying how different a person feels after the detox..

So while I try convince Henry or a girlfriend to go with me, I gonna put up a new "want to do" in my list.. the Detox programme.. ;) 

Update: Henry actually agrees to me.. and we are gonna look for some alternative or just save some moolah and go! hehehe!!

And save up 10k for it.. (also gonna check other places that offers similar...)

More Hauls.. =P

Went to Art Friend in The Gardens yesterday.. and got myself these:

Draw pattern thingy, arcylic paints in metalic, embelishments stickers, puffy alphabets stickers, mini cotton balls, yarn in green, stencils, and this woolly wire thingy called chenille stems..

I wondered if you guys played this before when you were younger?

I remembered I had this ruler before when I was young.. Use those color plates, poke into any of their holes and circle it around and around the template, and you get nice symetrical patterns, depending on which hole you poke into.. ^^  I lost mine when I was young, and I couldn't find this in any shops anymore, so when I saw this for RM1.5 in Art Friend, I just grabbed it hehe... =P

Doillies

Then I got these doillies from Jusco, for scrapbooking! =P I cant find smaller ones yet, and these patterns arent that nice I think, but who knows after mixing it with colors and embelishments it'll looks nice? ehe...

yarns...

These are yarns I got from Sg Wang today, I was in KL for lunch, and just stopped by Sg Wang to get these and will try to make more crochet stuff.. i want make arigumi doll, mayb a hat? or a bag.. =P

yeah.. I wanna scrap summore.. so much to do right? aha...
