Less than a week will have a holiday trip to siem reap. You can see the count down ticking on the left of my blog =D But I am yet got the holiday mood. Still haven't prepare anything yet for the trip. Haven't change money (walah...now USD gone up!)...Haven't think of what to pack (usually I'll do last minute packing)...Don't know what is the itenerary (although ahhou sent it out but I don't remember at all!)...cos I know ahhou to incharge or it! kekeke....What else I don't and haven't? ahhh...tak tau lah. Too tired to think. May be just pack a little over the weekend. Is time to prepare bit by bit. Takut later no time. Frankly, I have no idea where am I going to!! Am I excited about it? errrmmmm don't know :p

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next thing wanna update is currently busy settling personal stuffs and planning something big soon. But everything not confirm until the time comes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At work, currently am allocated at client's place. I am happy with the location because near from my house (20 mins ok lah)...most important no traffic jam. And I can claim the petrol and toll. But heard the project team soon will move back to our main office which in KL! oh no....scare traffice jam...then I have to wake up even earlier. Then scare no parking. You know la, KL so packed and limited parking. Even got also gotta pay! Now parking is free wor....then I cant claim my petrol which can cover my expenses a bit. Which means higher expenses when move back to KL office! I haven't work 1 day at the KL office since joined this company. haha. We got new office...opposite the old ones. Already booked my desk hehe. And one more thing....have to wear formal to work. Currently I just wear t-shirt and jeans to work leh. So much different.

Arrrgghhh

I was pissed that I can't sleep well lately! I was trying very hard to fall asleep although how sleepy I am. But during the sleep I can't sleep soundly. Dreamt a lot. Sleep uncomfortably. Super tired after the sleep. I was struggle get back to sleep once woke up! Although I still got time to sleep but automatically wake up and very very hard to continue the sleep. damn pissed wasted the time that I can sleep! HELP ME!!!! I'm getting haggard. I'm getting lack of sleep. I'm getting extremely tired. My panda eyes getting worst and worst. Everything just getting worst!! *cry*

Faster Internet

Yay!!! at last I have faster internet connection at home!! But........a lot of problems to be fixed!

Installed the broadband (TIME Netlynx) 2MB speed =D 2 days ago but my Aztech old modem not working! So next day go buy new Aztech modem. Yesterday try again also cannot connect...duh! Last 2 nights been configuring until I sleep late...KNS...So today the technician come fix but also unable to fix. So he just temporary loan his modem to me and mine pass to him to fix. So temporary I can use the fast speed internet connection...yippie.

But then I spent few hours with remote support from my friend only able to configure the connection thru wireless router. Lots of hiccup and frustration to setup. I think my wireless router got ghost. Very weird situations. But lucky in the end manage to solve...but now left one problem..which is wireless not working yet...sigh :( trying now...but am very tired...may be continue tmrw

PK Month!

October is really a PK month leh!!! There are so many October babies!!! gosh... Except birthdays party/dinner I've attended...also because this month is Raya month..few open house attended as well. Is not only PK month but also FAT month!!! Just eat eat eat...Is next month will slow down?? I hope so. But next month am travelling to Siem Reap wor. haiyoh... problem from knowing too many friends!

Market Research

Last night went for a market research discussion. It was my first experience. Last nite event was 2 hours discussion. But half an hour earlier they provide dinner and get to know a group of ladies. Total 9 of us (suppose 10 in a group). Once completed the discussion will get RM120 as a token. It was interesting, fun, enjoyed night. Some more can have free dinner and earn some money. hehehe

What did we do in the discussion? Basically we just sit down have a close discussion. The in-charge person will ask us questions and show us some board with the products or concepts to promote the products. Then he asked us our thoughts...our opinions. We just give what we think, comments etc. After that he will give us to taste the mockup product and give comments as well. It was beverages testing. First start with Smoothies, Milk Shake, Condensed Milk Powder (and some other sachets product inclusive condensed milk powder eg. coffee and teh tarik), extra cream powder, and the most interesting is cereals in maggie cup size just add in water. All products all in sachets or a packet form which convenience. But the taste of all drinks don't attract at all to all of us. Too bad there is no testing of cereals.

The ideas for the products some are good and not in the market yet. But is the taste not meet our expectaions. We provide ideas, what we like what we don't like and so on... Overall is a discussion. They want to get our opinions as a consumer...now I know how they do market research. Hope to have more to try next time. :D If you are interested you can register at http://www.i-respondent.com and if you match their requirements then they will call you up for this.

中医 Chinese Sinsei

Last night after work went to see a chinese sinsei. At first my plan is to go gym joining 3 classes. But while chatting with a friend, she told me I look very very tired. Suggested me to rest and see sinsei if possible. So coincident lately am looking for sinsei and she reminded me. So get a direction to the sinsei place. It is located in Botanic Garden in Bukit Tinggi. I am not familiar with the garden and lost a bit. Actually I don't have the full address but just a direction from my friend in the phone! Pandai me at last manage to find it. But took me quite some time. The sinsei is from HK and he doesn't know how to direct me to his house. Lucky got another guy beside him helps to direct me.

The sinsei just 把脉 (check my pulse from the wrist) then he told me whats my problem. And all are true! He said my waist very tired, very 躁 (restless), 涨风 (stomach bloated), mouth dry, can't sleep well, even if I sleep but I dreamt a lot, whole body aching from the sleep, and the main problem is my shoulders and back vein pulling...cause having headache and tired. Also lately I get diggy easily. His advice to stop taking the stuffs below esp the first 3 things:

- Chilis (oh no...my favourite :(....I must have chili with the food neh...but mean time have to liao )

- Fried food (this one i can skip...I don't take if possible)

- Pepper Powder (I like to have this also with soup or porridge :p)

- Cold Water

- Watermelon

- Soyabean milk (I drink sometimes without sugar one leh...gotta skip this time being)

- Beer (oh no worry...been stop drinking liao :D)

- Green bean tong shui (seldom have this..no prob)

- 薏米/凉茶 (Barley drink) (oooo....like to have barley one leh...ish ish)

- Biscuits

- Milk

Quite a long list huh!! basically is I had too much chilis cause my body heaty and if I take those cool stuffs will make my body clash lor. That's why I get diggy and tired so easily. Also notice lately very hot temper :p And also because too much chilis I had 痔苍 (hemorrhoids) and it is not surprise I still will have it if continue have chilis. So from now onwards gotta eat light food and not hot one lor....tsk tsk...

Then the sinsei wrote a long list of medicine names which I can't read at all! and gave his staff to pack for me.

 

Nah...this is the medicine he gave....1 big packet!! x3...tried drink last nite...yuck! very bitter leh :( 

苦口良药 lah!! Total bill just RM42...ok lah not that expensive.

Hopefully after finished all the medicine and plus my food intakes control will get better gua...he also suggest me sleep before 12 midnight la...I'll try!!! :D Is time to take care of my body good good. Getting old and if not later even harder...sob sob

Food!

Just about partial food I had recently :D

2 weekends ago went back to Seremban. I had a car pool with one girl friend which is going to Seremban for work. So I follow her car back on Saturday morning. Suppose plan to send mum to see chinese sinsei in KL but sinsei not around so just go back accompany mum and see her since some time didn't go back. I have to follow my friend back to KL in evening time. So before head back to KL brought my friend to this shop selling lou shu fun which is quite famous in Seremban. It calls Yee Poh Lou Shu Fun. Just opposite the place you can buy Seremban Siew Pau.

 

It just some char siew and minced pork. Best consume with their yummy sambal and green chili cuts.

  

Been interviewed by Ho Chiak.

Also 2 weekends ago but is on Sunday. Went to Bubba Gump @ The Curve to celebrate Wabbit's birthday. Had a great time with the bunch of crazy peeps and enjoyed Wabbit bump shaking on the chair!! hehehe fun fun fun! First time went to this restaurant...if not they said it I also no notice leh. Can imagine how long never dine at Curve! Love this dish very much esp the sauce...superb yummy. It is a kind of fish which good (donno what fish)...and also my favorite mashed potatoes...alot...and also they are not kedekut with the prawns...big plate huh? but I can finished whole plate until 'mei yan jiu keng' (can be a mirror) !!! wakakkakaa that day purposely not eating much during day time...save my stomach for this!!! love it! love it!

  

Last Friday, company have raya dinner at same old place...which is Lemon Garden, Shangrila Hotel. compare to previous time I went from company dinner but this time very much different. I find the quality dropped so much. They don't serve lobster (as what Alex shows!!) and last time got cod fish now don't have. The dishes not impressive leh. As usual first thing I'll get is sashimi lor! Here here look down. hehehe took a lot of sashimi...and oyster!! enjoyed my first plate...until full already actually.... but still go own 2nd plate... 3rd plate and so on :p ...here below all the food I had!! a lot? my colleagues said a lot wor....but look at it ok bah...

caeser salad and some sald...time to have vege after so much meat :D

Sourly ice creams...kiwi and strawberry...good to have something sour after so full!

  

actually i also had a bowl of tomato soup....sour also...just nice and hot...make my stomach feels better. after that had some fruits...that's it...cannot eat anymore although wish to eat others la....

 

How to Get What You Want in a Relationship

What's the best way to ask for what you want?

The difference between wanting and demanding
Much of the confusion about expressing wants occurs because no distinction is made between wanting and demanding. Stating what you want is an effort to communicate clearly, so you and your partner can both be satisfied. Demanding is insisting that your partner give you what you want, without regard for his or her wants and feelings.
You can tell the difference because when you are asking, you can handle getting a no answer; when you are demanding, you get upset if you are denied. When you ask for what you want, you need to have a backup plan in case the other person doesn't agree.

Gender differences
Women need to know how to ask men for what they want directly, and in a rational, not emotional manner. Men respond much better to "Honey, will you take out the garbage?" than to a whiney "The garbage can is overflowing, and it smells bad" or "I have to do everything around here."
Men need to learn to listen to women's feelings. Women do not always respond to a direct request; they do better when feelings are addressed. Saying "Wait til the game is over, honey" will be received by a woman as disregarding her feelings. "I'm sorry it's bothering you, sweetheart, I'll take it out as soon as there's a commercial break" will let her know you care about her feelings, and she'll be happier.

How NOT to get what you want: Common mistakes
    * Exaggerate your want. The fear that you may not get what you want may cause you to say you want more than you really do ("I want you here all the time"). This is confusing to both you and your partner, and makes it look much more difficult to reach a satisfactory solution than it really is.
    * Overstate your need. The fear that you won't get your wants met may cause you to state your want as if your survival depended on it ("I'll just die if you don't come with me"). Your partner may feel that he or she is being manipulated and resist cooperating with you.
    * Argue for or justify your want. Anxiety that your wants are not important enough to be satisfied may lead you to present them as a persuasive argument, with an overwhelming flood of reasons why you should want them or that the wants should be satisfied ("I should get more of the money than you do, because..."). This can provoke your partner to object and argue in return, rather than listen.
    * Not say what you want. Belief that you won't get what you want anyway, or that differences in wants will cause a fight, may lead you to say you "don't care" or "it's not important" or just be silent, when the truth is you'll resent not getting what you want.
    * Understate your want. Fear that your partner will be upset, hurt, or unhappy if you say what you really want may lead you to ask for something else ("Let's ask your sister to go with us" when you really want an evening alone together). This confuses your partner and makes it impossible to get what you really want because you haven't said what it is.

Steps to getting what you want
1. Get clear about what you want. You can't express what you want effectively if you're not clear what it is. Before approaching your partner with a request, think about it and write it down in one clear sentence.
2. Create a good atmosphere.
“If asking for what you want is difficult for you, don't do it without preparation.”
If asking for what you want is difficult for you, don't do it without preparation. Choose a moment when you and your partner both have time, and invite him or her to sit down and talk with you.
3. Simply state what you want. Don't preface your statement with a lot of disclaimers -- they make the other person feel accused of something. Just ask, politely, for what you want.
4. Be prepared to accept a "no." Remember, if you can't accept a no answer, then you're making a demand, not a request, so have a backup solution. Find a way to get what you want for yourself, even if the other person isn't cooperating.
5. Listen politely to your partner's answer. Whether your partner says yes, no, or something in between, listen carefully to what he or she says. Don't get all caught up in the worry and noise inside your head -- pay attention. You need to know what the answer is.
If you follow these steps, you'll get what you want a good percentage of the time. And even when you don't, you'll have a backup plan, so you really can't lose.

Dumbest Driver

Seen these many times especially those driving nice car but with a dumb brain. Most of the time happened in Touch & Go lane. Just recently one case...friday morning while driving to work. I was queuing at top up lane.. then saw this dumb driver trying to go thru Smart Tag lane but stucked there. I was thinking may be is the tag device problem or he just went in wrong lane. Then afterwards after he reversed his car straight cut infront of me! I was 'what the f'....ok fine...let him...so know that his touch & go no value...then hoh at the counter saw him talking to the cashier donno what la...but never see him bring the card n money for top up leh. what is he trying to do??? after a while then only he bring the card and top up. damn...took so long time just to top up. What is going on that dont just top up at first place? why talk talk talk? Really stupid driver. And I tell u guys...all the cases happened are MEN!!! dumbest male drivers!!! oooppppsss...sorry if you are a guy out there :D don't just say women drivers are dumb k!!

Worst Parking

So far I think the worst parking of shopping mall is Mid Valley. It really pissed me. Since it changes the parking setup I get lost in it!!! Can say I am good in direction but to me this parking system damn 'char'...or may be I am not familiar with it since it changes. What I know is a lot or barriers block here and there. Made me until I donno how to go to the places I wanted to park! Why so stupid parking system one? And hor...when exit you need to find counter to pay parking fee but there are not many cashier counter...you have to walk far. It should have auto pay machine what!!? why don't have? There are many times I have lost to find the exit!! It made me round and round then only able to get to the right exit. Yesterday was my worst day in this stupiest parking! Their sign boards even worst. Not accurate and misleading. Then some more some of the places blocked and it is dead end. There are many dead ends in this parking!! Never face one except this! stupid. Hate the sign boards...hate the barriers...hate the dead ends...hate the inconvenient facilities there....goshhhhh.... do you face the same problem?

Still no blogging mood :p

Lately feeling diggy easily. Sometimes will blackout a while doing workout. Must be low blood pressure again. Didn't rest well..yeah admitted that lately sleep very very little!

It's been long time no update myself to chinese songs...now trying to. hehee...so I can Karaoke with new songs!! Wish can sleep at home now...bleh

Hey! You Call My Name Wrongly!

I always try to respect people by knowing their name and call their name right. What I will do is get to know the spelling of the names. Sometimes I am bad in names but try best to recall or ask few times so can remember ppl's name easier. But hey! I also want others calling my name correctly. A lot of ppl mistaken my name 'Shirlyn' as 'Shirley' or watever... Please open your eyes big big and see the spelling..it ends with 'N' ok. it is 'ShirlyN'... please pronounce correctly. I don't blame those donno how it spells and might heard wrongly when I introduce myself...though both names similar. Buy hey! when it is written in black and white and you know how it spells so respect ppl a bit call the right one can or not?? Sometimes I wonder...did they really open eyes big enough to see how it spells and how to pronounce? deng... Most importantly is for biz use...you have to respect ppl by calling right names!!! When I heard them calling my name wrongly I donno should I answer them. Feel like correcting them but it is not nice. So pls sing muk ppl!! Don't get me correct and still make the same mistake.
