That 28th of November


OMG! 3 more days till the Baskin Robbins promotion for the CHOCOHOLICS ends and i haven't got one of the chocolate trilogy yet. I can't believe myself even. Must go tomorrow, must go tomorrow.

Back to the topic, today can be one of my weirdest day in the month, or maybe in half a year or so, whatever la, today is a weird day.

Why?
Me and my other two teammates met up with this Dato' that wanted to look for people to manage his newly acquired company that sells Pitaberry, a health drink innovation from Pitaya fruit( the picture look like dragon fruit)(http://www.pitaberry.com/)

So we went there for an intention to actually get sponsorship for the conference happening next week.

He started off fine, telling us about the new branding that he wants to do for Pitaberry and so on. Then of course we try to push on the sponsorship, then he started telling us his life story, started off poor, selling supper when he was studying in TARC, then finish and moved to Sabah, so on.

Casual conversation took on for more than half an hour asking us where are we from and try to relate to each of each..

Then we tried talking again about the sponsorship. lol. at the moment, i thought that would never end. However, he agreed to our offer plus 30cartons of drinks(he insist of 30 even though my friend say 20 is sufficient) but confirmation letter need to be submitted and so on. But that's not the end.

We were invited to have tea with him in Winter Warmers, quite a nice place. We went there first, waited for him. After about 30 mins, he came with a couple of friends, A lady, Judy, Recruiter for oil and gas industries, a divorcee, David, in oil and gas industry in S'pore(has a strong patriotism towards his own country and keep asking us to work in S'pore instead), and Bernard, the quiet printing guy.

I personally feel Judy has her own substance through conversation, and i thought that was the only meaningful conversation I had in that whole 3 hours other than trying to get sponsorship.

Anyway through the tea, let me highlight a few stuff that still cracks me up when I think about it, the Dato' mention he bought 11 advertisement billboards around KL and PJ, multimedia, 18 hours a day, every 20 seconds to promote Pitaberry numerous time, specifically 18 hours, every 20 seconds! lol.

Then he came up with the idea of putting the pictures of OUR faces, then cut and paste only the eye part( he did funny movement with his hand, and i was sitting beside and can't laugh) all over billboard and let people guess who are we and win plasma TV! lol.

hah. there's so much more that i couldn't even remember. he talk so much that sometimes i got drifted off, and I'll just nod. and say "yea, yes, that's a good idea".

Anyway hopefully he's for real and won't bail out. After all he's going to "make NLDS happen!".

Ah, tomorrow is going to pack, and Friday will be attending a youth forum( part of the agenda for UNICEF first national AIDS conference).

Maybe will blog after that on what happen.

Goodnight. =)

The "cheerful" post

i don't know why all my posts ended up sounding so emo one.
Not that i want to. Just that i don't know how to appear "cheerful" through words i guess.
Now lagi teruk, the background in black. :P

Anyway look what I've found?








it's kinda blur. the red arrow pointing towards word says "nose sharpener"


if that's what they do to achieve sharper nose, wonder what they do to get bigger eyes, i could imagine them putting toothpicks to expand the eye larger. ( you know like those in cartoon one. ) =)

and then i found this website, selling ever thing chocolate. lol.

i love it so much, i even took picture of it. haha. now i shall name everyone of it, starting with the top left one... kidding.

anyway thanks, really. =)

It's my fourth day after getting the tattoo.. all i can say is itchy, itchy, itchy, itchy!
Lol, really la. have to continue feeding on junk food to forget about the itchiness, some more tak jadi wanna go jogging, and i need a new running shoe as well, the current one is not proper running shoes, and after I run 8-10 rounds around the field in front of my house right, my feet hurts like hell. wait wait.. Year end sales coming. and i shall wait! till then sit at home, eat my way to being overweight and try not to scratch.

It's time for meeting again.

till then. =)

The border.

Say if God ( if there's ever one, whether it's Allah, Jesus, or what-so-ever name that you might wanna give "______"?) created man and woman. Two perfectly different creatures but still have distinct similarity where we can categorized them as human race.

Traditionally, man went out to hunt for food, men are stronger, have more strength, kill the enemy, built the shelter and protect the family.

Woman on the other hand, stay home, cook, clean and decorate the house, take care of things as woman are more sensitive and delicate towards details.

These roles and responsibilities are easily defined( or at least i thought so.)

But as time passed, the roles changes and now to a period that we can't and uncertain about how to define the roles of woman and man in society.

Therefore it often raise the issue of the existences of gender equalities. How can we distinguish the border? The fine line that separate the tradition and the future.

Of course, we have argument from both side, women not given enough opportunities, being judge over their responsibilities at work and at home (maternity and time to take care of their kids and all that).

As for positive side, they said there are uprising woman in the society that holds higher position, CEO, and minister, even prime minister now.

But reality check, scale down to Malaysia alone, how many successful woman can you name in 5 mins? ................ i bet you just include your mom in the list. which would be perfectly normal, as they're that influential.

Like what have shown in Devil wears Prada( yes, it's a chic-flick), if Miranda was a guy, nobody would have said anything.

Okay, let's say we scale it down more, to Tertiary education level, student council. You can just have a look at the number and percentage of woman in the public universities student council. Then to a more drastic comparison, just look at the President of the Council only.

By ratio, there are definitely more woman than man in the universities, or can we say the woman are more passive, or they're just not into this? If that's the only argument.






sigh. pardon my frustration.
I'm just sick of people telling me what I can do and what I can't.
Now I'm unsure whether i'm striving to be myself, or just striving to be Different.

"I"m 21!"



oh, that's what my cake says. heh.



the last two posts in friendster blog was due to the boredom of exams. but i figured maybe i should just continue. See how long will it last this time eh?

anyway, i had a great birthday, i thought i grow up too fast for clubs and so, thus, i decided to stay home. with friends and family. Thanks for the wishes and the pressie. I've got the cutest present ever that remind me i don't exactly need to grow up even though i'm already legal to vote. chocolates, elmo t-shirt and chocolate. and look!


Ice cream cone bubblesss comes in CHOCOLATE flavour!

It smellsss so good, everyone should get one. lol.

my mom say i act like lil kid. hrmp.


And of course i've got myself a lil present as well, urm, but my brothers paid for it la.

got myself an appointment with Borneo ink in Hartamas a couple of week ago, and this was done two days ago. woo hoo. i love it, the tattoo artist, Lina done a great job and it only too an hour plus.

And like what i mention before, i don't have much pain receptors. but i was ticklish, she said i moved like worm. lol. but i still love the end result after so long contemplating to get one.

I think it's starting to peel off now, I have to sleep "terbalik" and had a hard time applying ointment, cause i can't exactly look at it without a mirror. hehe.
But there's one tiny thing in my plan tak jadi, wanted to go for AJ Hackett ride in KL Tower still.. hrm. maybe later.
I'm on holiday, looking for a part time job but at the same time so many things coming up, and that just reminded me, got to bank into Vanessa's account by today for MNC.

Anyway I've got to go out now.
That's all for now.
