But... I don't have enough cash

Firstly, the sales girl wasn't me..

Me: Can I pay this cardigan using credit/ debit card/ MEPS cash?

Sales Girl: Yes, with at least minimum RM50 purchase. (A stupid breakable rule)

Me: But... I don't have enough cash... and I really really adore this cardigan... please let me use la!!

Sales Girl: OK la, you can use

Me: :->

So, the next time you are on a spend-thrift & are short of cash & are too lazy to queue up for an ATM machine .. just use this trick..

Successful rate: unknown

Dead Men Tell No Lies

There is a time to live and a time to die. If you own some savings in da bank or 1 Malaysia Trust Fund (because you are so damn lucky that the govt granted you 100 units upon uni entrance), have a few hundred bucks of EPF or SOCSO, possess a Myvi or a motorbike under your name, carry a Canon D500 or iPhone4, and hope that those stuffs go to some specific person e.g. your concubine or BF or even BFF upon your sudden leaving of real world - you ought to have a WILL (wasiat) to kuasa the same. At the same time, owning too many wills causes fuss to your loved ones e.g. died leaving 2 wills

Layman: I wished I did not die... sigh~

Fairy: It is very wrong for you to be greedy, you know .. for you have lived for the past 65 years..

Layman: I died leaving 2 wills ... 2 wills are totally different ... sigh~

Fairy: Ok, then the 2nd will is the valid one lor : ) ( as per Re Palmer's Goods)

Layman: The 2nd will was thumb-printed instead of signed wor... sigh~

Fairy: No worries .. Thumb-print is a valid signature : ) ( as per Thiang Kai Goh v. Yee Bee Eng)

Layman : The 2nd will was not made by lawyers ...sigh~

Fairy: Who cares, as long as it is in writing, signed by you, attested by 2 witnesses, when you are sane, and when you are over 18 years old : ) (S5(1) Wills Act 1959)

Layman: I hope I can rest in peace then ... sigh~

Fairy: You could, as long as there is no vitiating factors such as you were mentally-ill (as per Re Ng Toh Pew deceased)

Layman: Sigh~

In short, make sure you scribble something on a piece of paper or on your shoes or purse before you die, as that could be a will too, if you are too stingy to have a will written by a lawyer. : )

Once in a Lifetime

18.12.2010 - Red Box Karaoke 1st Avenue, the philanthropist of the week blasted Penangites with this promo whereby you can scream your heart out with just RM1 (complimentary 1 beverage + 1 meal/pax). Provided that you are one of the first 50 persons per session.

18.12.2010 - I did something Penangites don't always do and I vouched to be one of the 50 lucky persons during the 10am session.

Excited as we were, I, HZ, MC and SP went as early as 7.30am to queue for our lucks. Regardless of mom's refusal and friends' mocking, we went anyway, for the reason we live only once. Anyway, there were already 30+ people lining up =.= . So, Penangites aren't as laid-back or un-kiasu at all .. And since it was hours away from the session, we played Doraemon UNO.. until something happened and we no longer had any mood to continue with the game.

Above are the crazy 4 final semester students (the one holding the phone was included) in the queue. Despite the incident, we managed to go in. We paid only RM4.40 for the 2-hour session. And I shall conclude the session was fun and worth the long-wait + embarrassment. Special thanks to HZ's mommy & SP's vouchers. After all, we were all winners for the UNO games & the singing (or SCREAMING.. keke)

Shall I do it again in the near future? I will take serious consideration:-)

Review: Herbaline Nano Pimples Cream

Cons: Highly priced at RM88 (or RM80) for 20g, Herbaline Pimples Cream does not work magic on me like it has worked for Lili. Based on my approx 2-month experience, pimples would subside in 3-4 days' period after day + night application. Since I am instructed to spread it evenly on my face, and it does not prevent the growth of new pimples. The amount used on each pimple is substantial. Also due to my skin color, I actually looked pretty pale after applying it.

Pros: The scent is decent, J'adore! It is a perfect concealer I would say as scars can be perfectly covered. Not diminished though it is promised that it would lighten scars.

Repurchase? I definitely don't think so ... : )

Errr ...I'm a lawyer!

One of the perks of working as Scott Brand Ambassador @ Jom Heboh TV3 2010 was that I got to distribute orange balloons to kids. Believe me, it's the most self-fulfilling & confidence-boosting task ever. When you appear from the booth with a bunch of orange balloons, you command great attention when kids and parents would surround you like a swam of bees and endeavour to grab balloons from you. Just love the task! Anyway, there's this man who came to me when I was doing my job.

Pak Cik: Can I have a balloon for my son (while his son looked @ me innocently)

Me: I'm sorry as our balloons are strictly for customers only. (Then, I began to promote the cheapest package available)

Pak Cik: Ah moi, please la! I am a police man. (softly he uttered, or should I say coerced?)

Me: errr ... I am a lawyer!!

Pak Cik: ....(Speechless and left)


LOLZZ!!

Review: Oslee Clear Spa Sleeping Mask

Have been using this to save my face from further havoc for approx 3 months by now. As sensitive as my face is, this mask is actually a savior for me, particularly when I ignore healthy eating habits (which means fried n oily food 24/7) or spending too many hours outdoor. My face would be revitalized and whitened after a night sleep using this mask. No additional pimples observed. Pores are minimized and skin is greatly hydrated.

Priced at RM59.90 for 50ml of this concentrated gel is rather reasonable. Comparing to Laneige Water Sleeping pack EX (trial), Oslee Clear Spa provides more significant result on my face I would add. But Beauty Diary Aloe Vera mask effect is defitnitely comparable to this one, as good as this one in fact.

And above all, I particularly adore the rosey scent of this mask ( & almost all of the Oslee products sold in Guardian). As a matter of fact, I thought it is its scent which put me to a good night sleep as roseship is helpful in de-stress!!!

"Marrying Mozart"

Well, I ain't marrying him (if so, I would have become a heroin in his opera, which is utter romantic .. lolz) This is but the most recent masterpiece by Stephanie Cowell I read since 2 days' back. Overwhelming as it is, this is another romance genre I really fancy, twisting the career & relationships of young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (the prodigy classical musician in Vienna) and the 4 Weber sisters.

I must admit that musician isn't a character I am familiar with (coz Danielle Steele talked about lawyers, housewives, pilots and militants almost all the time). But I can't help noticing that musicians like Mozart & Igor Stravinsky (the Russian musician who involved with Coco Chanel) did bear some similarality e.g. they would "imprison" themselves for quite sometime & need women influence in order to compose good music =.=

Highly commendable and it is available in UUM library. Yes, DA LIBRARY -- the place I am gonna miss most when I leave ... the place I spent hours reading newspapers ... n the best library stored with the most comprehensive novels... n I earnestly hope that my future workplace owns a library just like this one

And my favorite sentence:
" In them he asked Aloysia many times why she couldn't love him as much as he loved her."

P/S: the German Border Guard case was part of the answer of my juris paper as I predicted in that post.

Banana Juice in Pink

It is amongst my favorite beverages in UUM till to date. Obtainable in Subaidah, UUM. Countless times have I spread words to fellow UUM students that it is a "magical" beverage. Fellow UUM pals would stared at me and uttered, "BANANA JUICE???" Everyone reacted the same, as far as I can remember. :-)

I bought it again on 23/11/2010, as a consolation to myself on the day we finished 3 equally challenging consecutive papers on 3 days' period.. Odd enough, it was PINK in colour on that day (as opposed to the usual faded yellow.. u noe, banana kan)

How to make a Banana Juice?

Blend milk, banana, syrup and ice together. And voila!

Thrilled, I asked the staff there how come it was so. The staff told me in broken BM that it was SPECIAL. Yet, it tasted as good as ever(even better I suspected) Eventually, I figured out they just substituted red syrup with their normal syrup.

Then, it struck me. Life's just like Banana Juice(lolz!!) It's up to our creativity to shape our future. And there's always more than one way to make some of our dreams come true (or all perhaps) ;-))) Surely, I am so gonna miss the Banana Juice from Subaidah when I leave.....

The Scent from the Drying Area

While majority of Malaysians family has been celebrating the joyous Hari Raya Haji since the day before, we, the second floor-ers of H Block of College of Bank Rakyat, on the contrary, have been scented by this foreign odour for the past 2 days. Sharp, nasty, and so sickening that anyone standing near it would feel like throwing up on the spot - best described the "scent". Lets have a wild guess what is it!

Having no idea why it is called a "Drying Area" instead of a "Laundry"(probably because washing machine is on the other end of the alley), dirty clothes of 2-days could not be washed. Eventually, we have to wash them on the 3rd floor. To make matter worse, our bathrooms & toilets are just adjacent the Drying Area and it is almost the end in the alley between our rooms. Which means we can't avoid the "scent" even before leaving our room to go tapao downstairs or when nature calls.

The scent came from the scattered excrement (or shits) in the basin in the Drying Area. We inferred that the excrement was from a cat(the grey one which has been wondering outside our room since Sunday) instead of the noisy monkeys. There were some new pieces added to the scattered pieces this morning. Yuck!! I really wish that the holiday would end soon. And so is our little hardship here.

Till death the "scent" would linger in our nostrils. In mine n my roomie's at least.

Be Grateful, Be Contented

It's been raining cats and dogs since yesterday. Today would be no difference, I thought. Turned out, it was a windy morning. Settling most of my errands, I am grateful and contended.

With the advancement of technology, I had managed to cleared some fuss,without much fuss actually. I am grateful and contented.

Having used almost all the energy I gained from Dutch Lady Full Cream Milk and some biscuits - just to start the engine of my long-abandoned bike, I am grateful and contented that I managed to reach Komtar and come back home safely.

At the same time, I am grateful that I have voluntarily assumed the obligation as an adult Malaysian. I looked down on those who keep demanding this and that from the country yet never even play a simple role of a responsible rakyat. So, daftarlah sebagai seorang pengundi! That is if you are eligible. This can be done in almost all of the post offices or Pejabat Pos Malaysia.

Conclusion: It is from the simplest tiniest things we could derive our pleasure, gratitude and contentment. To award myself for being learning yet another simple lesson, I would give myself a simple treat. ; )
