Perhaps Coach is like any other local brands....

I used to think that coach bags are high-end stuff that I'd not possibly afford to get them.

After visiting HK, i realised that the cheapest wristlet was about HKD550. I was really tempted to finish of my 2nd last HKD500 note.

Anyhow, I hesitated.

And now, I found out that in US, the similar Penelope signature Wristlet model is selling only $48.

Can i have this please?

At least I can use this when i'm going out for lunch.

Playing Mahjong with a set of Lousy Tiles

I'm at a situation where I'm at a MahJong table with a set of bad tiles.
I dont know how to play the game.

It's bad game, with bad tiles.

I was adviced to seek banker's help (if we play computer Mah Jong, banker would give some hints).
Now, the hint is to just play the Mahjong like I play as before.
So, I'll just play till I finish the game.
I hope it's a GG.

Choosing a Right Nick is Crucial

It's really difficult to pick the right names for ourselves, or for our babies or whoever..
I thought choosing meimeizoe as a nick would be 'safe' and 'unique'.

I guess not.

A similar blog, http://meimeizone.blogspot.com/ is a porn site.

I guess it's worst than finding out about anti-meimeizoe blog sites.
Geee... my reputation is gone!!

But, I would like to clarify to all my friends here that I've nothing to do with that meimeizone porn site.

Standing at a crossroad

I am looking left and looking right.
Either left and right would be a tough journey.

Finally, the Managing Director of my company has announced to offer VSS package this week to make up with the workforce reduction of 50% overall.
Back at the headquarters, people are being laid off with immediate termination notice.

Now, I'm considering.
Should I or should I not?
If yes, how should I proceed?
If no, is there anything else I could contribute?

I really hated HR's decision on waiving the Advanced Annual Leaves for those who are taking the package. How about those who took unpaid, who has once helped the company for more cash flows? Would I still in favour in the way the management manages the company?

Wedding Dinners....

It's been quite a long time since I last travel all the way down to KL for a wedding.
Since, the bride is someone who was partly from my Headstart Penang, it'd be a good time, having a bunch of ex-headstarters meeting up. (hmm. . we have occassional meet ups quite often).

Was glad to have such a nice friend who made all the arrangements for me, accomodation, logistic etc etc..... so I decided to go . :)
Thanks gal.. (you know who you are.. hehe)

Although I find Tropicana Club House is kinda old, somewhat, the long pillars and fountain turned out really fantastic in pictures.!

And the chandelier too!

Ta-da.. Headstart Penang 2006...
Poor groom, he got kicked out by the bride..... :(

A long wait..

The moment is almost the same as waiting for my exam results.
I wouldn't know which day I'd receive the results, and would not know if I pass or not.

Pass or fail.
I was ready.

AND now, whether I'm retrenched (or part of the name list) or not,
I'm READY.

The Gem of Life

Been watching Gem of Life.
And finally, I managed to take picture infront of the shop.

Wanna buy?
Cant believe it, I'm doing free ads for Mabelle.

Macau Highlights

I didn't do much planning for Macau except knowing on how to get there.

Since I stayed in TST, I took the ferry to Macau Ferry Terminal.
Fare = HKD133 (To) + HKD140 (Return)

As soon as I reached Macau, I headed to theMacau Tourism Centre to get the maps.
Then, hop-ed to the shuttle bus to Venetian City.

I love the Gondolas and it felt like Venice.

However, I somewhat felt that the place is much more alike as Genting's First World Plaza, except that the gondolas are operated by real good singers.

I guess the place is OVER-RATED.

I don't know, i love fat fries, thus, I got my lunch from Fat burger that cost me HKD65.

To get to the Senado Square, hop into the city bus (FARE: MOP 3.20) from the terminal.

Beautiful huh?

And, Egg Tarts (MOP 7)

Macau Tower...

Sad that I didn't manage to drop by due to time constraint.

And lastly, Fisherman's wharf, which is walking distance from the terminal.

Jason Mraz is Coming!

I've been hearing "I'm yours" from Mixfm.. .and I kinda like the tune




Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out, I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Come on and open up your mind and see like me
(I won't hesitate)
Open up your plans and damn you're free
(No more, no more)
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot wait, I'm sure)

So please don't, there's no need
(There's no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate
(Our time is short)
'Cause our time is short
(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours

Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, whoa, baby you believe I'm yours
You best believe, best believe I'm yours

The Gem Of Life - Again.. my ramblings

Life is just very complicated and men have made it even more complicated.
As we get older, the tougher we have to deal with situations and people, and we got to learn to be TOUGH, and very often, I FAILED (!!)to be A TOUGH woman.
There is this soft spot in my heart that I tend to easily believe people, easily trust people, and of course, get easily hurt.

Now, that I would think life is hopeless..
1. No Job - would be out of job soon
2. No friends - True friends are getting lesser. As I start counting my fingers, I have started to think if I have any soul mates.
3. No money - Due to my excessive spending behaviour in Dec/Jan. I got a shock of my life that my credit card bill was RM 2.4k++.
And, I'm taking "Shutdown Unpaid Leave" for the next coming month.
4. No goals in life - I don't know what to do.
Should I study?
Should I continue to work in factories?
Should I just get out of everything?
5. Not being able to find God's purpose in me.
I kept on serving God, till I'm tired and stressed out.
Because I'm often reminded that God has my rewards up in heaven.
I'm doing things blindly, serving not knowing what my returns are.
6. Relationships? FORGET it...
I begin to start having the thoughts that most MEN sucks.
(and women too)
(and it contradicts with my previous post.. oh ya... wat to do!!!!!!!!)

Yes... God brings hope.
An assurance to EVERYONE, despite the bad economic situation, causing financial crisis, broken relationships or whatever other reasons (*update), God has something installed for us.
I dont' know what.
I need to find out.
I have not much strength to find out.

How is this linked to The Gem of Life?
Obviously, the ending is obvious. (yes, damn obvious)
Being evil will not lead you anywhere in life.
But, staying righteous will leave you satisfaction in life.

Probably, they miss out the point that we all need Jesus in our lives.
So, stop envying other people's life and do not covet.
God is always fair.

I must tell myself..
GET on with life..
Get on with life.....
the rest too... get on with your life too!

Hong Kong Disneyland Raising their Admission Prices

wtf.. just found out from china hospitality news.

HKD295 vs HKD350!!
The park is already so much smaller than other disneylands.
In fact, ocean park is far more better (according to reviews)

Out of Gas during CNY - How??

How to cook 7 dishes and 1 soup when you are running out of gas?
1. Electric pot
2. Microwave oven

Tada!

My mom managed to do that on the 2nd day of CNY. We didn't had gas for 7 days, since Reunion's eve.

The Place Where I learnt Mandarin

I've picked up mandarin (especially technical terms) through picking up calls from PD1 and PD2 factory.

Now that Shanghai Daily is reporting that they are planning to close down the factories.

It's just so saddening.
I just don't understand where did all the $$ gone?
Consumer demand just dropped straight down to 0?

3 CEOs in a week

and my boss still says nothing....
when you say nothing at all

The Gem Of Life - At episode 75

I think this movie is getting a little crazy.
The storyline is a little crazy.
Now, i think i have some of my answers i had in my previous episodes.

Terrence - will this playboy eventually be a good husband and son?
YES.. he's definitely a better person

Constance - would this 'love-is-everything' woman realise that there are more things to do in life besides LOVE?
She sux big time now.
She thinks she's some DIVA or something after her Tibet trip.
Damn perasan case.

Jessica - could she be less-materialistic?
Oh well. she realised that she lives in a big empty shell now.
Soon, she will regret all her life..

Sylvia - would she let go of her career and pursue other things in life such as love and relationship with her family?
Yes yes.. after she was betrayed by her sis and realised that she should pursue love.
But why not relationship with her family?

Elise - can she grow up and stop becoming a spoilt brat?
Yes, she grew up!

Calvin - he's a truly nice person (who had a sad childhood), but how successful would his life be?
NOW.. still unknown

A Minute Love Language

I subscribed a minute love language from Dr Gary Chapman 5 languages of love.
Although I'm not married, I find that the book, Desperate Marriages is rather interesting.

This is what I got from the email on dealing with depressed spouse:

Identifying the Problem
What do you do when your spouse is depressed? First, you must get information. It is helpful to think of three categories of depression.
1. First depression may be the by-product of a physical illness. When we are physically sick, our minds and emotions move into a depressed state. We temporarily check out. It’s nature’s way of protecting you from constant anxiety about your physical condition.

2. Second kind of depression is called situational depression or reactive depression. It is a depression that grows out of a particularly painful situation in life. Many of these experiences involve a sense of loss: the loss of a job, the loss of a child to college, or loss of a friendship.

3. The third category is depression rooted in some biochemical disorder. It is a physical disease, and must be treated with medication. Visit the library or search the web and learn about depression. It’s the first step in helping your spouse.

So... that's depression, how about the unfaithful and irresponsible ones?

What Happens When your CEO resigns?

1. I'm in deep shit
2. I may lose my job - restructuring will take place
3. More corruption?
4. New Interim CEO acting - For better or for worse?
5. Customers would give up - declining demand
6. Production shutdown plans
7. Aged Inventory
8. Huge MESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Following the news is like watching TVB Series.
