*Winter Warmers Cafe exterior look*

*Chocolate Carnival, every kids' favourite*

*The smooth and brilliant Iced Rose Coffee*

*Creamy Iced Blended Vanilla Orange*

*A steaming pot of caffeine-free herbal tea*


The night after Halloween was the day I met Winter Warmers, along with Eric (who'd came back from Indonesia for a visit), Selly (Eric's wifey), Alex, and Jade. It was my very first time to be at Winter Warmers Cafe, and I had finally, indeed found my love at first sight.

Winter Warmers Coffee & Tea House is a beautiful and traditional English tea house which serves a good variety of English Teas (Rosebuds, Lavender, Peppermint, Lemon Verbena, Linnden, Chammomile, Darjeeling, Earl Grey and etc). This unique shop is decorated in pretty floral wallpapers, lacey table cloths, fine English tea sets, and vintage decorations, which I admire alot.

There are four main categories of teas at Winter Warmers found on the menu. They are the black teas (Darjeeling, Assam, Earl Grey, Kenya and English breakfast), milk teas (flavoured and traditional black tea varieties with added milk and sugar), caffeine-free herbal teas (roots, flowers and leaves of herbs ), and caffeine-free fruit teas (natural dried fruit pieces).

Besides that, Winter Warmers also serves English delights, such as sandwiches, scones, cakes and cookies. You could also find pasta, cheese bakes and waffles on the menu. Tiramisu was on the role as Cake of The Day, on the evening I went out with all of them. The cake's texture is smooth, creamy and suits my sugar tooth perfectly (as in not so sweet).

I had the Iced Rose Coffee, which was decorated with whipped cream at the top, rose syrup swirls and a few tiny rose buds. The iced coffee came in a delightful fragrance of rose, and on top of that, the coffee itself was smooth and yummy. Jade had her coffee in Iced Blended Vanilla Orange, I think. Can't quite really remember hers (and the others as well,heh) but it sure do look creamy and tasty to me. Alex had a steaming pot of caffeine-free herbal tea, with bits of apple to accomodate in her cup. It was a perfect blend for her.

Eric on the other hand, had the most colorful cup of coffee of all. Chocolate Carnival (written on the menu: kid's favourite) was his choice, where a cup of hot chocolate is topped off with whipped cream, chocolate syrup and loads of marshmellows. While Eric chose to be the kiddy one, his wife, Selly, went with a normal cup of hot chocolate to warm up her night.

We had fun having our English night out at Winter Warmers. I would definately visit this wondrous English cafe again. Perhaps this time, I would order the Iced Lavender Coffee instead.

I've not been spending good quality time with my darling that much since the arrivals of his customers from God-Knows-Where. A French man and a Spaniard girl, to be precise. They've been stealing his time from me since Monday till now, and I'm already missing him so badly. He would have to entertain them till late nights, with late dinners and late happy hours (hopefully they would sign the deal with his company), only to come home at 1-2am everyday. Although I do hang out with my friends (to kill time) while he's away, I just feel the extra loneliness and... for him being with me. Perhaps I've been so used of him always being near to me, all his attentions towards me...

He came home today, for lunch. He had to changed into better clothes, well, to meet up with them later. I was all emotional all of a sudden, shed some 'missing-you-so-badly' tears while pretending to be asleep, for I know I would be lonely again tonight (and tomorrow, and so on). I just don't have the mood to go out with my friends anymore.... I know I'm being a big baby. He saw me crying, asked me what was the matter, (as usual I just kept quiet) and told me that he loves me alot and that he's not leaving me alone (??????Yah, leaving me with his dog at home, alone). Are guys really that dong not to understand how a girl feels? Or is it just us girls, being over emotional bout something?

I really have no idea myself. All I know is that I am longing for his tight hugs, the stupid laughters we share and his time for me again... Missing him loads...

*My Halloween Night's Out*

baggie >> 2:47 AM >>


Me & sis, @ TGIF The Curve

Vampire Mistress of Kepong, *ROFL*

I was invited by a friend of mine to accompany her scouting for Halloween peeps @ The Curve yesterday evening. She is a journalist for a local newspaper, and her task for the day was to interview the people who dressed up during that night, for Halloween. Of course, a Halloween lover for myself, I wanted to have the same fun as the others are having there. So I decided to dress up like a vampire, and brought my sister along, to join the fun.

I was to meet my friend at TGIF, for she is conducting a short interview with the runners of TGIF. They were dressed in various costumes and roles. Some were pirates, Big Foot, Dainty Fairy, Two-Faced, Joker, and loads more. And to say that they were scary.... Not really, except for the Joker guy. My, my, my... when he smiles... oh my God!! It's damn huge, alright... and I wouldn't want to find him under my bed scaring the shit out of me!! Reminds me of the movie 'IT', the horror clown movie.. Damn!

Later on, she went on interviewing some of the other Halloween participants who happened to be nearby. They were dressed in cute outfits. Bunnies (guy's fantasies), Angel, Devil, Murdered-With-A-Knife-Stuck-In-Her-Head, bla bla, and bla bla bla. We even saw a couple who dressed up (male) as an angel, (female) as a dead bride. Sounds so wrong right? But then again, who cares, it's Halloween, you can dress up as anything as you want.

It's an upset that Malaysians do not practise celebrating Halloween. Imagine all the fun Malaysians will have by dressing up, treats-&-trickings, and carving the Jack-O-Lanterns out. I had so much of these fun back then in school and college, it was an event I've always anticipated every year. Guess I gotta live to the fact that Halloweens are only meant to be for Guai Lo's business...

To achieve my Vampire look:-

1) 4 layers of powdered foundation to make yourself pale (not enuff pale, dang!)

2) Black eyeliner to line the entire eye and to color the outer crease line, plus the extra drawing

3) Purple eyeliner to line only the below eye line

4) Scarlett blusher to add a little spot of color to your pale cheeks

5) Devillish red lipstick to make you look blood-thirsty

6) Your own selection of vampire outfit

7) Your vampire dentures (hehehehe)

History of Halloween, like any other festival's history is inspired through traditions that have transpired through ages from one generation to another. We follow them mostly as did our dads and grandpas. And as this process goes on, much of their originality get distorted with newer additions and alterations. It happens so gradually, spanning over so many ages, that we hardly come to know about these distortions. At one point of time it leaves us puzzled, with its multicolored faces.

Digging into its history helps sieve out the facts from the fantasies which caught us unaware. Yet, doubts still lurk deep in our soul, especially when the reality differs from what has taken a deep seated root into our beliefs. The history of Halloween Day, as culled from the net, is being depicted here in this light. This is to help out those who are interested in washing off the superficial hues to reach the core and know things as they truly are.

'Trick or treat' may be an innocent fun to relish on the Halloween Day. But just think about a bunch of frightening fantasies and the scary stories featuring ghosts, witches, monsters, evils, elves and animal sacrifices associated with it. They are no more innocent. Are these stories a myth or there is a blend of some reality? Come and plunge into the halloween history to unfurl yourself the age-old veil of mysticism draped around it.

Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in).

The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death.

Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.

To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities.

During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.

By A.D. 43, Romans had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain.

The first was Feralia, a day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of "bobbing" for apples that is practiced today on Halloween.

By the 800s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands. In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints' Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs. It is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints' Day) and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls' Day, a day to honor the dead. It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints', All Saints', and All Souls', were called Hallowmas.

*Just A Thought By the Beach*

baggie >> 7:33 PM >>

My dear darling, the man whom I adore and love,
The man who is 30 but is so young at heart...
Playing with his catch of the day, a stray coconut by the beach...

A beautiful life he has given me, filled with love and affection...
A bold and a determined thinker, he never gives up his goals in life...
Just like he's determined to get that coconut back into the sea...

How far did you think that coconut flew?
I like this picture... playful yet... strong...
Don't you think so?

Just me and him in the picture...
Him... the man whom I would spend the rest of my life loving...
The man whom I would want to build glorious dreams together...

Part of our dream is to own a house by the beach...
A house build of glass that looks out to the calming sea...
In which the house is where all of our beautiful dreams would come true...

The beach view from my hotel room.. so perfect isn't it?
Hearing the waves beating at the shores just takes your worries away...
Inhaling the salty breeze just reminds me of how wonderful nature is...

I tagged along my aromatheraphy duckies to our hotel...
Just to spice up the ambience a little more...
Luckily I've brought it along, the room kinda smelled, hmmm OLD..
But what can I say, Casuarina's been here since 1983, the year that I was being borned...

We had a complimentary drink from the hotel, fruit punch by the poolside bar...
The garden's beautiful, some of the trees there were adopted by tourists...
To mark their memory on a lovely visit to the hotel and the island...

Sometimes, if you would spare a little more time to see things in a clearer view,
You would change the way you judge something all over again,
Just like the nuinsance pigeons that I once thought was ugly,
But now I think that they're smart and adorable, they weren't that bad after all...

Sunset wasn't that perfect, cause the haze was mingering with the clouds ...
And due to that, the moody clouds got so sad, in which later that evening,
Cried down on the island in tiny droplets of pain and sorrow...

*The Fart Name List*

baggie >> 3:29 AM >>




I was kinda bored this early morning, so I went internet surfing, blog reading, bla bla bla.. when I stumbled across this particular site, which was hillarious but kinda grossed out when I come to think about it. Try reading these and figure out which fart name resembles you... ngeh he he he... mine was.. let's see... The Ghost Fart... (*ROFL*).. cause I'll never admit I farted.. unless there was only two of us in a room or a car, where none of us needed to admit who was the one farted... (*blushes* he he he) Have fun sighting your type of fart!! Oh and don't forget to tell me which fart names you had for yourselves... (kih kih kih)

The Alarm Fart - This is a good fart for the beginner. It is easy to identify. It starts with a loud unnaturally high note, wavers like a siren, and ends with a quick downward note that stops before you expect it to. It sounds like something is wrong. If it happens to you, you will know right off why it is called the Alarm Fart. You will be alarmed. The alarm fart however is rare.

The Amplified Fart - This is any fart that gets its power more from being amplified than from the fart itself. A metal porch swing will amplify a fart every time. So will a plywood table,and empty fifty gallon drum, a tin roof, or some empty cardboard boxes if they are strong through being amplified in this way can be called an Amplified Fart. These are common farts under the right conditions.

The Anticipated Fart - This one warns that it is back there waiting for some time before it arrives. A person who is uneasy for a time in a crowd and who later farts at a time when they think no one will notice has farted an Anticipated Fart.

The Back Seat Fart - This is a fart that occurs only in automobiles. It is identified chiefly by odor. The Back Seat Fart can usually be concealed by traffic noise as it is an eased-out fart and not very loud. But its foul odor will give it away, due to the way air moves around in a car. It is often followed by someone saying, "Who farted in the back seat?"

The Barn Owl Fart - A familiarity with owl calls is helpful in identifying this fart. Almost any morning if you get up just before daybreak you can hear one of these birds talking to himself. It's a sort of a crazy laugh, particularly the way it ends. If you hear a fart that has about eight notes in it, ending on a couple of down notes, and it sounds maniacal, you have heard the rare Barn Owl Fart.

The Bathtub Fart - People who would never in their life know one fart from another, who would like to act like fart don't exist, will have to admit that a Bathtub Fart is something special. It is the only fart you can see! What you see is the bubbles. The Bathtub Fart can be either single or multiple noted and fair or foul as to odor. It makes no difference. The farter's location is what does it. Maybe there is a kind of muffled pong and one big bubble. Or there may be a ping ping ping and a bunch of bubbles. The sound I should point out depends somewhat on the depth of the water, and even more on the tub. If it is one of those big old heavy tubs with the funny legs you can get terrific sound effects. While one of the new thin ones half buried in the floor can be disappointing.

The Biggest Fart in the World Fart - Like the great bald eagle, this fart is pretty well described just by its name. This can either be a group one or a group two fart and can occur just about anywhere. I heard it one time, a group two identification, in a crowded high school auditorium one night, right in that silence that happens when a room full of people has stopped singing the Star Spangled Banner and sat down. It came from the back. There was not a soul in that room that missed it. A fart like that can be impressive. The most diagnostic characteristic of the Biggest Fart In The World is it size. Fart freaks who go around showing off, farting like popcorn machines, and making faces before they fart or asking you to pull their finger and then they fart, never have what it takes for this one, which is rare even among your most serious farter's.

The Bullet Fart - Its single and most pronounced diagnostic characteristic is its sound. It sounds like a rifle shot. The farter can be said to have snapped it off. It can startle spectators and farter alike. Fairly common following the eating of the more common fart foods, such as beans.

The Burning Brakes Fart - A silent fart identified by odor alone. Usually and adult fart, occurring while the adult is driving a car or has a front seat passenger who farts. The Burning Brakes Fart actually does smell a little like burning brakes, and seems to hang around longer than most farts Which gives whoever farted a chance to make a big show of checking to see if the emergency brake has been left on. When he finds it hasn't you know who farted. A common automobile fart.

The Car Door Fart - Either a group one or a group two fart. Very tricky. It is meant to be a concealed fart. A matter of close timing is involved, the farter trying to fart at the exact moment he slams the car door shut. It is usually a good loud fart. It is one of the funnier farts when it doesn't work, which is almost every time. It is a desperation fart and not too common.

The Celestial Fart - Not to be confused with the Did An Angel Speak Fart, which is simply any loud fart in church. The Celestial Fart is soft and delicate, surprising in a boy or an adult. It is probably the most shy of all farts and might be compared with the wood thrush, a very shy bird. It does not have the sly or cunning sound of the Whisper Fart. It is just a very small clear fart with no odor at all. Very rare.

The Chinese Firecracker Fart - This is an exceptional multiple noted fart identified by the number, and variety of its noises, mostly pops and bangs. Often when you think it is all over, it still has a few pops and bangs to go. In friendly company this one can get applause. Uncommon.

The Command Fart - This fart differs from the Anticipated Fart in that it can be held for long periods of time waiting for the right moment. Unlike the Anticipated Fart, it is intended to be noticed. Harold Tabor recently held a Command Fart for the whole period in history class and let it go right at the end when the teacher asked if there were any questions.

The Common Fart - This fart needs little description. It is to the world of farts what the house sparrow is to the world of birds. I can see no point in describing this far any further.

The Crowd Fart - The Crowd Fart is distinguished by its very potent odor, strong enough to make quite a few people look around. The trick here is not to identify the fart but the farter. This is almost impossible unless the farter panics, and starts a fit of coughing or starts staring at the ceiling or the sky as though something up there fascinates him. In which case he is the one. Very common.

The Cushioned Fart - A concealed fart, sometimes successful. The farter is usually on the fat side, sometimes a girl. They will squirm and push their butt way down into the cushions of a sofa or over-stuffed chair and ease-out a fart very carefully without moving then or for some time after. Some odor may escape, but usually not much. Common with some people.

The Did An Angel Speak Fart - This is any loud fart in church. This fart was first called to my attention by my father. He probably read about it somewhere. For fart watchers who go to church, this is a good one to watch for as this is the only place it can be found.

The Dud Fart - The Dud Fart is not really a fart at all. It's a fart that fails. For this reason it is strictly a group one identification fart, because there is no real way you can identify a fart that somebody else expected to fart but didn't. It is the most private of all farts. In most cases the farter usually feels a little disappointed.

The Echo Fart - This is a fart that can be wrongly identified. It is not some great loud fart in an empty gym or on the rim of the Grand Canyon. The true Echo Fart is a fart that makes its own echo. It is a two-toned fart, the first tone loud, then a pause, and then the second tone. Like an echo.

The G and L Fart - This is one of the most ordinary and pedestrian of farts, known to everyone. Certainly it is the least gross. If you have not already guessed, G and L stands for Gambled and Lost. One of the most embarrassing of all farts, even when you are alone.

The Ghost Fart - A doubtful fart in most cases, as it is supposed to be identified by odor alone and to occur, for instance, in an empty house. You enter and smell a fart, yet no one is there. People will insist that only a fart could have that odor, but some believe it is just something that happens to smell like a fart.

The Hic-Hachoo-Fart Fart - This is strictly an old lady's fart. What happens is that the person manages to hiccough, sneeze, and fart all at the same time. After an old lady farts a Hic-Hachoo-Fart Fart she will usually pat her chest and say, "My, oh my," or "Well, well." There is no reason she should not be proud, as this is probably as neat an old person's fart as there is.

The Jerk Fart - The Jerk Fart is a fart by a jerk who smirks, smiles, grins, and points to himself in case you missed it. It is usually a single-noted, off-key, fading away, sort of whistle fart, altogether pitiful, but the jerk will act as if he has just farted the Biggest Fart in the World Fart.

The John Fart - The John Fart is simply any ordinary fart farted on the john. It is naturally a group one identification, with the sound, whatever it was, somewhat muffled. If it is all the person's trip to the john amounted to he will be disappointed for sure. Common as pigeons.

The Lead Fart - The heaviest of all farts. It sounds like a dropped ripe watermelon. Or a falling body in some cases. It is the only fart that goes thud. Except for the odor, which is also very heavy, it could be missed altogether as a fart. What was that, you might think? And never guess.
The Malted Milk Ball Fart - Odor alone is diagnostic and positively identifies this fart. It smells exactly like malted milk balls. No other food works this way. It is rare.

The Oh My God Fart - This is the most awful and dreadful stinking of all farts - a fart that smells like a month-old rotten egg - as the Oh My God Fart. If you should ever encounter it, however, you may first want to say, oh sh*t, which would be understandable.

The Omen Fart - This is the adult version of the Poo-Poo Fart. About the only difference is that the farter will not say anything. He will just look kind of funny and head for the john. This one is easy to spot if you pay attention.

The Organic Fart - Sometimes called the Health Food Nut Fart. The person who farts an Organic Fart may be talking about the healthy food he eats even when he farts. If he is heavily into health foods he may even ask if you noticed how good and pure and healthy his fart smells. It may smell to you like any other fart, but there is no harm in agreeing with him. He is doing what he thinks is best.

The Quiver Fart - A group one identification fart only. When you fart, it quivers. If it tickles, then it is the Tickle Fart. If you have to scratch it, then it is the Scratchass Fart.

The Rambling Phaduka Fart - You must not be fooled by its pretty-sounding name, as this is one of the most frightening of all farts. It is frightening to farter and spectator alike. It has a sound of pain to it. What is most diagnostic about it, however, is its length. It is the longest-lasting fart there is. It will sometimes leave the farter unable to speak. As though he has had the wind knocked out of him. A strong, loud, wavering fart, it goes on for at least fifteen seconds.

The Relief Fart - Sound or odor don't matter on this one. What matters is the tremendous sense of relief that you have finally farted. Some people will even say, "Wow, what a relief." Very common.

The Reluctant Fart - This is probably one of the oldest farts known to man. The Reluctant Fart is a fart that seems to have a mind of its own. It gives the impression that it likes staying where it is. It will come when it is ready, not before. This can take half-a-day in some instances.

The Rusty Gate Fart - The sound of this fart seems almost impossible for a fart. Is is the most dry and squeaky sound a fart can make. The Rusty Gate Fart sounds as if it would have worked a lot easier if it had been oiled. It sounds like a fart that hurts.

The S.B.D. Fart - S.B.D. stands for Silent But Deadly. This is no doubt one of the most common farts that exists. No problem of identification with this one.

The Sandpaper Fart - This one scratches. Otherwise it may not amount to much. You should remember that if you reach back and scratch, it automatically becomes a Scratchass Fart. Common.

The Skillsaw Fart - A truly awesome fart. It vibrates the farter. Really shakes him up. People back away. It sounds like an electric skillsaw ripping through a piece of half-inch plywood. Very impressive. Not too common.

The Sonic Boom Fart - The people who believe in this fart claim it is even bigger than the Biggest Fart In The World Fart. The Sonic Boom Fart is supposed to shake the house and rattle the windows. This is ridiculous. No fart in the world shakes houses and rattles windows. A fart that could do that would put the farter into orbit or blow his crazy head off.

The Splatter Fart - Unfortunately the Splatter Fart exists. It is the wettest of all farts. It probably should not be called a fart at all.

The Stutter Fart - If you think stuttering is funny, this is a very funny fart. It is a fart that can't seem to get going. The sound is best described as pt,pt,pt-pt,pt-pt-pt,pop,pop-pop-pop-POW! It is usually a forced-out fart that gets caught crossways, as they say, and only gets farted after considerable effort.

The Taco Bell Fart - The Taco Bell Fart is far richer and full-bodied than your ordinary Junk Fart and takes longer to build up. Sometimes hours or even a day. But it will get there. And it will hang around after, too. Even on a windy day.

The Teflon Fart - Slips out without a sound and no strain at all. A very good fart in situations where you would rather not fart at all. You can be talking to someone and not miss saying a word. If the wind is right he will never know.

The Thank God I'm Alone Fart - Everyone knows this rotten fart. You look around after you have farted and say, "Thank God I'm alone." Then you get out of there fast!

The Tickle Fart - A group one only and one of the easiest to identify. Usually a slow soft sort of fart. If you like being tickled this is the fart for you!

When was the first time you ever used a hair styling product? 12? 16? 20? I remember the days when I had to use baby oils or light hair creams to keep my long hair in place during high school. And then I went a little wilder at the age of 16 (you know lah... getting bolder, 'big' girl dee whaaaat) where I've had my hair spiked and 'air plane-d' at the fringe, together with my group of girl friends. That was when I've started using hair gels, you know, to ensure that my hair is always 'spiked up'... and made sure that a plane could always land on my fringe. *gah* (only did that hairstyle once, cause kena bombarded by my H.E.M, learnt my lessons)

Then at 17, I started coloring my hair in a very 'unnoticed' brunette, and yes I always got away with hair spotchecks in school. (Kih Kih Kih) Anyways, I used to be a very mischievous girl in school, always had problems with the prefects from my next class (konon class sains bijak, just because they chose their extra subject as accounts, while my class opt for pendidikan seni, *phhbtt*) I tell you, they are very the 'LANCI' that I couldn't resist myself from slapping each and one of them, but of course i didn't lah... Duh!! I thought I was suppose to talk about hairs... ok never mind!!

I started using more professional products when I was in college. My hair was frizzy (it is still... NOW), dry and kinda damaged I guess. That was when I was introduced to hair serums, hot oils and so on. (getting older dee and the price of the products being used also getting higher lah) I also started trying hair waxs, hair moisturizers, hair spray to style my hair in college... cause wanna look good (although sudah berpunya at that time, hehehehe). I always change my hair products, till I really find something that satisfies me... eh no, my hair,eh eh... as in my hair on the head! *shesh*

Until last Tuesday, I always thought that expensive products are ridiculous, whereby you're actually paying for the brand's advertisements. But no, I totally disagree with my earlier statement when I've finally tried out some expensive products. They sometimes do practice what they preach, (certain of them only lah, not naming brands here). What happened was, I was invited by a friend of mine to join in a hair styling survey at UOA KL. Well, they said that they would pay us RM120 for that four particular hours of survey, and so i thought to myself, ''what the heck, got someone is willing to pay for my PADINI skirt (yes, have been planning to get that skirt, sedang saving money nak beli) kih kih kih", and so I agreed lah.

It was a fun survey (ada 8 orang di-invite if I'm not mistaken), the people from that particular hair product company turned out to be from L'OREAL (of course they didn't reveal it till the end of the session). They asked many opinions from us working females, on what we think of each and other brands, which was the main point besides advertising, that would influence us to buy a certain hair styling product, and bla bla bla... (tok tok tok... ask ask ask...)... what do you think of the ad here, what kind of feel does this ad gives you.... (bla bla bla...'' ok, thank you for your time") *relief*

At the end of the day, they gave us each a RM120 and a L'OREAL goodie bag worth RM100 of hair styling products. Not baaaad, and that was when I knew they were from L'OREAL and that their products aren't that bad either. Expensive, but kinda works. I'm using some of their products now, when I go out. I like their Hot Straight Heat-Activated Straightening Cream, smells good and keeps my hair nicely in place. (recommended to use with straightening irons, but i malas to iron lah)

I recommend that if you've ever had the chance to get invited for surveys, do not miss the opportunity to learn something about a product, how do they do their brandings, and of course share your thoughts of the advertising world. (very good for those in design line) I had fun smelling, feeling and er..tasting? the products given. *smiles* and of course free skirt for me!!

*As an employee....*

As an employee...

* the biggest motivation is salary

* the unluckiest thing is promotion without salary adjustment

* the most "shiok" thing is you don't work anyhow also get pay increment

* the greatest talent is "carry big stuff"

* the greatest mistake is to argue with your boss

* the most demoralising thing is to receive salary late

* the most pitiful thing is you did not get your salary and your boss ran away

* the happiest thing is you become your boss' boss

* the cleverest thing is you are late but boss doesn't know

* the stupidest thing is you publicly say that you are lazy

* the most common thing is - the boss says something but means another

* the proudest thing is you sack your boss

* the most "rugi" thing is you work hard but your colleague takes the credit

* the most dangerous thing is to become a "two-headed" snake

* the biggest satisfaction - uploading blog posts like this during office hours!! heheheheheheheh...




Dang... I was reading my sister's Cleo's September issue (while baking choco cake in the toilet) when i came across this ad. I was laughing to myself when i read it... the whole story's about a small little tiny cute car, (which wasn't mentioned in the ad) that could run at 140kmh on hiways for 2 hours ++ continuosly, squeeze through any jams, and of course park through any parking spots when a Wira couldn't. What car could it be if it's the non-other-my-car, Kelisa... kih kih kih....

Almost everything described on the car is kinda true, except the ones they've mentioned on offering sufficient leg room for those in the backseat. If you have passengers with the heights of 150-160cms, then they are describing it right. BUT if all of your passengers are born-to-be-models, then you could hear them swearing at the back of your car (like my ang moh step-dad).

An auto Kelisa has better performance than an auto Kenari. An auto Kelisa beats a manual Kenari at the start up point. An auto Kelisa could beat an auto Wira up to Genting Highlands. And an auto Kelisa could take a 50-60 degrees turn at 100-110kmh. Not bad eh for a 1000cc car. (all performance tests done on the Kelisa were done by the professionals and public users are not advisable to repeat any of the stunts without the professionals' supervision, kih kih kih)

And so these are the reasons why I would keep my Kelisa in the future, even though i would be having a Sylvia S15 in another 2 years to come. "Roxanne, my dearest car, I love you.... although you have a few minor scratches here and there, I still love you. Will give you a new coat of paint next year to show you how much i love you...." (kih kih kih)
