MY IDEA OF HEAVEN
Friday, Jun 13, 2008 9:07AM / Standard Entry
Roller coaster week....conclusion for it....look above.....wat do you see? Yes, I have finally found a new job. Good pay and a nice boss. Could not ask for more.Had to make some call of 'shame' today to the agency, to some colleagues to tell them the news. And am awaiting my boss to come in now so that I can have a lil chat with him before I make all those calls.....And then rewarding myself to a quiet weekend away to the Hunter's.
IMAGINE THIS:Waking up to the wineries....
Sipping wine while watching the sun set....
& Knowing that you can do it all with biggest peace of mind....PRICELESS!
HUNTERS..............HERE I COME!

Designerluxurybrands.com is a big fat SCAM
Tuesday, Jun 10, 2008 9:16AM / Standard Entry
A while ago, I saw this at Dawn Yang's site. Yesss...the ad above her banner. Designerluxurybrands.com
Mmmmm.....designer bags like Gucci & LV at dirt cheap price? Not really cheap lar....but its more than half the retail price outside. And what's more tempting is that the site guarantees the authenticity of the item...
Ok, frankly speaking, I don't carry any designer bag. I don't even own one. Simply because I think I am lousy at maintaining it. What I do with my bags is that I tend to just chuck them on the floor when I get home or say when I'm at the fitting room and there isn't space to hang it....I don't like to always have to be careful with my bag's outlook. Plus....I am super duper fickled minded. I will buy this bag thinking I'm gonna use it a lifetime but couple of months down the road....I have the tendency to wanna buy another one. Best is to stick with some unbranded bags....Plus....internet shopping for designer brands? Esp at some independent site....recipe for disaster. 99% of the time, the item is fake.
But the ad still caught my attention. WAHHHHH.....sooo good bargain??? Where to find? And frankly speaking, if I bump into this link in other blogs or some unknown site/blog, I wouldn't even consider looking at it. But because it's Dawn Yang....such famous blogger. So the trustworthy level went up.
So I showed the site to this bestie of mine....asking about her opinion. She buys designer bags but always only get them in the store....never online. Not even ebay.
Browse browse browse.....she remained skeptical about it. Where got soooo goood bargain ar? And the best bet is to not take chance. Never buy online. Only buy at store. Not only a guaranteed peace of mind and it means more....
You can go around telling people I got this IPhone for half its price and people will oooo and wahhhhhh for a long time and then hassle you to tell them where you got that deal from.
But if you go around telling someone you bought a new Gucci handbag for half its price, the next question you will get is: Fake one ar? Or how sure are you it's real ar?
Yesss....agreed. So I close off the browser and never ever think about it again....
Until today when I read Timothy's blog and realise a reader had write in about that site....and guess what? It's a big fat SCAM!
Apparently, they tend to make you feel as if they offer the best customer service ever by adding you in MSN and all the quick and fast response. Then when you decide on the item you want, they will ask you to transfer money into their account. And then happily wait....wait....and wait....1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days 5 days...and the count goes on.....
Then you try to contact them via email, they don't give a shit. You try to hunt them down via MSN...they block u off. You open a new account in MSN and add them, they will answer your queries. But once you reveal your identity, they will block you off again....
Pity Sharon, the conned reader who reported this to Timothy. She lost a whooping $900 because of this.
Moral of the story:
To buyers: Always be careful when shopping online for designer brands. And understand the concept that 99% of it is fake. Even sometimes when its guaranteed its authenticity. Fake bag manufacturers now can produce the fake bag up to 99.9999% real. Its flawless but regardless, its not from Gucci or LV. Might be the product of some dodgy factory at the back lane in China.
To bloggers: Be careful when approach by so called 'companies' to place add in your blog. You have to know that your readers trust the ad partially because they trust your judgement. Readers would have assumed you have met the seller or knows the seller's background well enough to place their ad in your heavy traffic blog. And it's partly your fault as well when the ad you place in your blog is a scam.
To myself: Lucky me. And I will stick to the principle of buying designer bags only at retail store. If cannot afford, must as well stick to some bag of cheaper brand.
To everyone else: Peace of mind is to only sign up to Nuffnang. And only place Nuffnang ad. =) Hahahahahahahah......such a big round to praise Nuffnang. But really, I have no single thing to complain about ever since I sign up with Nuffnang.....HONESTLY.
So girls out there....be careful of what you see in the internet. The truth is not always what you see!

THE MONOGAMIST
Monday, Jun 2, 2008 8:31AM / Standard Entry
"....while for me the idea of seeing another man would be like trying to fit another outfit into an already over-stuffed suitcase, Big was happily dating another woman like it was the most natural thing in the world. Is it that men have an innate aversion to monogamy, or is it more than that? I wondered in a city like New York, with it's infinite possibilities, has monogamy become too much to expect?"
-- quote from Carrie Bradshaw Season 1 Ep.7: The Monogamists
I happened to be watching the Sex & the City reruns days back and bump into this particular episode about monogamous relationship. Surely, I don't live in New York city and am not involve with a man like Mr. Big but that episode really got me thinking: In this world where everything's possible and new things pop up almost every minute, has monogamous relationship REALLY become too much of a thing to handle? And, I mean, has monogamy become a burden to the creatures who hailed from Venus?
The issue about guys refusing to commit has long been buried in the ancient relationship bible. Come on, when was the last time you heard about guys refusing to commit himself into a serious relationship? Loong enough that I can barely remember.
But when was the last time you heard about a breakup that was initiated by the girl?
Recent, huh?
The issue now is that girls are no longer relenting themselves into a monogamous relationship. At least not at the age when it is too soon to settle down. Girls are hating the idea of finding Mr. Right too soon. In fact, it is not feasible to even go in depth a relationship for fearing that you will realise he is Mr. Right but the timing is all wrong. Then the ultimate decision strikes: either give up your desire explore and settle with your so-called Mr. Right or take the risk of giving him up in return for the hope that there are better fishes in the pond.
Make up a situation: You know this great guy and then starts to think that he is the one. In fact you got so confident about it that you begin telling your friends, your family, your besties that you think this is it. Have a honeymoon period, then reality sets in. You don't fit well together, your perception about the future goes in opposite direction. Then you realise everything that you thought was love initially are only a mere illusion and infatuation. You are back at square one again....either give up all your hopes about finding another better love and settle OR break off and start the hunt again.
Perhaps that is the dread that every girl are trying to prevent themselves from getting into. But face it, most girls have had an experience in a serious relationship that spans on for years and breaking if off after that. It has become an ultimate big NO NO in the dating bible. Getting into a relationship too soon and you face the risk of falling apart. Else, take the risk to explore, fall and learn before settling only with the best or nothing at all.
In a big city where there are countless possibilities hidden at every nick and corner of the streets, it has become ultimate that there is only one thing a girl should avoid: the decision to enter into a monogamous relationship.
If trying to fit another outfit in an already over-stuffed suitcase seem like an impossible thing to do, then consider carrying an empty suitcase with the hope that you will pick up some outfits along the way and then settle with the combination you are most comfortable with.
PARTY GUEST 2: What about you guys?
CARRIE: I'm not dating anyone.
PARTY GUEST 2: And what about you Miranda, seeing anyone special?
MIRANDA: Actually no but I am seeing a whole bunch of unspecial guys. That's one of the requirements to date me. Are you special? Sorry! Move along...but if you have any unspecial friends could you give 'em my number. I'm serious do any of you have a completely unremarkable friend or maybe a house plant I could go to dinner with on Saturday night?
PARTY GUEST 2: She's hilarious!(Sex & the City S4 Ep.1: The Agony & the Ex-tacy)
Yes hilarious....but she's right...

AND FINALLY.....
