Say No

Sometimes I wonder, why are those fashion magazines always featuring branded goods that cost three times or more my monthly salary? 

Some heels for a few thousand dollars, some top for a few thousand dollars, some bag for tens of thousands of dollars etc.. Can you afford it? Can most of the readers spotting those fashion magazines afford it? I know I can't. 

Everytime I saw these items featured in the mags, I would be damned bored. I keep asking myself, who the hell can afford all these? And if I can't afford these, why do I still need to buy the mags for? So now, I totally stopped buying local mags because they are costly and the contents are costly as well. And the thing is, even if I want to use these mags as a reference, I find it difficult to find something similar but at a cheaper price. So, no no no no.

Refer to I.T Bags.

Most Realistic Sketches - Cool!

Which is which? I'm confused. This is so cool!

"Art."

Presenting...

Hoo hoo hoo. Finally got it. 

"It's worth waiting for."

Bitten By An Unknown Insect

My middle finger is bulging like a Taiwanese sausage now. Ok, maybe a bit too exaggerating but it is swollen. But luckily it just an ordinary sting. Phew.

"I'm counting..."

幸せな．．．

．．．ハンガーがです！

ノムノムノム．．．あぁ、終わった！

～美味しい．．．＞０＜ｙ

"Nothing like a home-cooked lunch!"

And There Goes...

... my keitai.

It's stuck with the customs and the chances of it coming in is low. 

Time to hit the temples!

"Speechless."

Haunted...

by hives.

Two days gone because of this. What good is a jab of chlorpheniramine(which I can't pronounce) when it didn't help subside the hives? Got jabbed for nothing. And the pills? 

I was supposed to go to SIM to check out some courses with Su. And I was supposed to go eat some frog's leg porridge with Hubby. All these, gone. But the hives stayed.

"I don't even want to show you the pictures I took of my hives."

End of Round One

Nanami T threw a left upper and landed on the retrenchment officers.

K.O.! *Ding ding ding*

It was an easy win and Nanami proceeded to Round 2. How will she fare?

“怖いよ。”

Round One

*Ding ding ding*

In the red corner, we have the retrenchment officers, several of them, weighing several hundreds of kilos, in the heavy weight category.

In the blue corner, we have from the Kai Mon gym, Nanami T, 29 years old, weighing 52kg, in the feather weight category.

And the bell rang!  *Ding ding ding*

"たまらないね、この気分は。"

It's Coming...

Everyone's on standby for the whole of this week. Standing by to be retrenched.

I guess this is it. 

"No worries."

PUSH-POCKET IN KUALA LUMPUR - WARNING!!

Not sure if this is true, but it could well be. Just be careful, stay alert and stay out.

"I am sure you all have heard of 'pick pocket'. A new trend 'push pocket'. Read on.. for your own good.

A few days ago a new type of crime has surfaced in town. It goes something like this:- Somebody slips a hand-phone into your pocket, sometimes it could be just a wallet with an identity card and a few ringgit.
A few minutes later, the 'owner' comes up and confronts you, the 'thief '. He makes a big commotion that you stole his stuff.
You, caught unaware, are then pulled aside by the 'owner' for a settlement. You are intimidated and threatenedthat if you do not pay up the police will be brought in. If you pay up, this 'owner' lets you go. If not, the police are brought in.

Another strange thing is that there always seems to be a 'witness' to your 'theft'.
I am told this often happens to foreigners at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) or even at LRT trains. Given that you're 'guilty until proven innocent' as far as the Malaysian police are concerned, I understand some poor people are in jail for these 'offences'.
At the KLIA, the 'owner' throws his hand-phone and wallet with the few ringgit notes into the luggage trolley of a just arrived passenger. The drama unfolds a few minutes later. The real culprit has easily convinced our Malaysian police to arrest the real victim (if he has not paid up the 'settlement' demand). This is a very serious matter.

This is another form of extortionists operating in broad daylight. They are disgusting criminals who will do anything to rob and steal. The sickening part of the whole scenario is that unless you pay the 'quoted settlement' money, they will put you in real trouble by calling the police.
The real culprit gets back his hand-phone and wallet but the real victim ( i.e. could be any one of us)is thrown into the police lock up and charged in court.
So do be very careful, otherwise you may end up as a 'thief' as you have no way to prove your innocence.
Pass it on..... let more people be aware of such things around them."
