'rich' kids or RICH kids?

Mr.Kiasu's post on Rich kid, poor kid prompted me to write this.

Rich kids? I seriously don’t think so. The correct word to use is generous parents.

When we don’t earn our own income, all finance comes from our parents\guardian. Each month most parents would also give a certain amount of money for their child’s ‘expenses’. I.e. car, petrol, food, expensive lifestyle and such. The more allowance, the ‘richer’ the child.

I have meet many ‘rich’ kids in my life. Some are ‘rich’, but some a rich. What is the difference?

The ‘rich’ kids
Their parents pour them with love and money, money and more money. What every that their parents are capable of giving they give. This kids usually are happy with their little money can buy gadgets, their game consoles, their barber dolls, their expensive car and expensive life style.

These kids have the advantage of living the ‘cool’ life. Hitting the pubs\clubs with their stash of dough or their platinum coloured cards, all which are give to them by their parents. ‘Maintaining’ their girlfriend(s) lifestyle is not a problem either. After all its all just a swipe of a card away. I think money is easy for them. All they have to do is ask for more.

I hold no grudges against ‘rich’ kids. If I was give a choice I would want to be born one too. However, I do dislike ‘rich’ kids who shows off way too much of their ‘own’ (their parents money in fact) money. This category of kids just spends money like no body’s business. When they don’t have enough money, all they do is ask for more.

And then where does all this extra money go? Buying new gadgets, going on expensive holidays, showing their girl friends or boy friends with gifts. Or in many cases, feeding gambling habits or cybercafé habits.

Some will say “I’m rich what, I can do what I want. Just because you can’t don’t blame it on me. Blame it on your parents. Who ask your dad to be so poor” I really have no respect for this kind of people. It is a fact that they have rich and generous parents, but that doesn’t mean they can use it as a justification for their ego. We don’t choose our parents.

The rich kids
This bunch are the …I believe are the much successful bunch. Some have rich parents, some don’t.

For the ‘richer kids’, no money doesn’t mean running back to their parents and asking for more. They like the ‘poorer kids’ actually make an effort to save or live a more simple life. Or for the more aggressive bunch, they head out looking for their own income to lavish their lifestyle.

I really look highly on this kind of people. Although they are born in a rich family and could actually get what they want by asking, they don’t. They understand the hardship of making money.

I feel that these kids have the right to boast, compared to the ‘rich’ kids.

Do things spontaneously

Today is one of the 'good days' *hmm hmm yum yum days* I woke up early but felt very refreshed. Did my whole morning routine thingy and watched my two favourite animes. Naruto and Bleach. Chat with some of my favourite people ;)

Head off to Eva's place to meet up with her and Bill. We went to Citrus Park in OUG for lunch and tea. We spent quite some time catching up .... I really miss them so much! We ate in this place that severed Penang dishes. Char queh tiow, nasi pataya and prawn noodles. The food wasn't that good. Thank god the company was :)

When I got home it was time for dinner. Headed out with JK. The initial plan was to 'yam char' at Murni first because both of us were still full. But... we ended up eating durian! MUAHAHAHAHA! *burb* Whahahaha! Syok! Have not eaten durian for a long long time. This was the first time for me to eat the king of fruits with a friend. Have always eaten it with my family members....not with friends.

Durian was good. But ice cream is even better! Instead of Murni after that, we ended up in Baskin Robins. One pint (I thought it was pronouns as pinT with the T sound, suppose to be pinE) of Rum and Raisins for me! And a pint of something cheese cake something something for JK. Bwahahaha! We didn't know where to eat them so JK drove us up to Mini Genting in Cheras. ...but we kind of almost finished the ice cream on the way there. Hehehe. *burb* *smell of durian and ice cream.....* Not something you want to smell. Can’t believe we actually finished the ice creams!

My first time to Mini Genting. I have expected to see couples up there, but I didn't expect to see so many of them! There were at least 30 pairs! But my advice to any of you who plan to go up there, make sure you head up there early. Nope, not to get a good spot, but for your own safety. Robbers like to make love birds their victims. Many were robbed in the wee hours in the morning before. Better thing to do is not to go there at all. The view was ok, nothing really spectacular. Not really romantic one la.

Oh... me and JK went to a Produa show room too. The new MyVi is not bad. I like. Would be nicer if they had a 1.5 version of the car.

Conclusions for the day
1# Do things spontaneously. Things are much enjoyable and fun that way.
2# Men who are obsess with his lover\loved one are stalkers. More about this next time.

N\A

I like to work it work it!

HAHAHA I just came back from watching Madagascar with Jin, Dave and Soloh. It's worth the watch. It's really funny. There's a lot of 'bite butt' action going on, and remember to stay seated until the music ends la yah.

Anyway, things I have been busy. I think last week... or is it earlier this week... that Triple Dash told me I have not been updating much lately. Well yeah, I know that too. I'm kind of in the quiet season now. Have much to say but the brain is just in a burn out stage. It's just blank, like a freshly formatted hard disk.

I think I have not been contactable for weeks too. Have been getting 'Why can't I ever get you' or 'I've been calling the whole day' remarks from people. ....*sign* I don't know man. I left my phone off and disconnected for a reason. What reason?

#1 Silence is golden. I need silence.
#2 Need focus these days, calls and blank chats makes me loose focus.
#3 Insurance agents have been ringing my phone multiple times a day\week. I'm getting sick of it.

So...

#1 Give me my gold and maybe I'll share it with you. I'm sorry if I'm being selfish, locking myself away from all of you, but I rather not talk to anyone that annoying you when I talk to you.
#2 Call me for a reason, and let not your reason be "oh I'm stuck in a jam".
#3 This I learnt from Soloh, works well with Credit card people too "Oh before you start, I just want to let you know that I don't have a stable income"

But...

For those who have called, you know... I feel really bad for not giving you some of my time. ...and I have not been a good friend... have not even return your calls. Call you all soon I promise.

Anyway...

I've picked this random thing (but then again not that random, have been thinking about it for a while now) to do. Will need your help. Hopefully I'll get to you. *prays* If this "maxonline.com.sg" if familiar, or relates to you... please email me. I really want to talk to you =)

Till then... Triple Dash... all yours ;) One more addition to this team soon.... I hope!

This Is Kian Hwei

I Love Mandy

Tuesday, May 24, 2005

The umbrella

She sat down. *sigh* Tired from work. *looks left* She *smiles* She's thinking *oh... Hie*.

He was blur. *looks right* at the person who just sat down. He thinks *oh she looking at me* Reflex made him *smile*. He thinks *now that wasn't so bad*.

The train started moving.

She stared blankly opposite of her. Four ladies sat there, all holding the same type of umbrella, the small mini ones which folds into a giant spring roll. *what a coincidence* she thought. She looked passed the ladies through the window into the rainy night. She tilled her a little to her right, looked down and *sighed*. She thought *can't wait to be home* * I need some sleep*.

He looked left. His dreamy eyes scanned the end section of the train. There were all empty, the seats. But the old man was standing. One hand on the metal bar, the other holding this umbrella like a walking stick. *why wasn't he sitting down?* he thought. He looked down at his own umbrella. It was dripping water all over the floor. There's nothing he could do about that.

Their eyes followed the puddle of water that their umbrella made. *It's odd* they thought. The water seems to be attracted to each other. A few seconds later, the two puddle of water meet, and combined into one.

Instantly they looked up at each other. They smiled.
She was blank for a moment. *hehehe so funny...how the water meet*
He was surprised that she looked up too. *she has a sweet smile*

The sound of train door opening broke the atmosphere. It was time for him to get off. *ah well* *sigh...time for me to head home* As he stood up, the motion made the remaining droplets of water on his umbrella sprinkle all over the floor.

*oh...* She was disappointed that cute little puddle of water distorted as he moved his umbrella. She looked up at him walking pass her, her eyes were locked on the guy.

As he walks out, his took a glance at the puddle of water. He couldn't see it from where he was. But as he look ahead to get off the train, he eye caught the girl looking at him. He was too quick to get out but he was sure he saw….

The girl lips were moving. *bye* it read.

It took him a moment to adsorb, but when he turned back to search for the girl through the fogged up windows, the train begun to move. He stood there wondering.... and then left for home.

Full moon sways

I can't get enough of this song. It's calm. It's beautiful. I feel n’sync with the tune. It's the only song on my play list since I got the Beck OST from Soloh. I'm absolutely in love with the song.

Download: Beck - Full Moon Sways Source: itsumo anime blog

Full moon sways
Gently in the night of one fine day

On my way
Looking for a moment with my dear

Full moon waves
Slowly on the surface of the lake

You were there
Smiling in my arms for all those years

What a fool
I don't know 'bout tomorrow
What it's like to be
Ah...

I was fool
Couldn't let myself to go
Even though I feel
The end

Old love affair
Floating like a bird resting her wings

You were there
Smiling in my arms for all those years

Dan Brown + Umberto Eco = The Rule of Four?

Works sucks. A lot of controversial issues going on…at least that’s what I see is going on. I don’t like what is going on right now. It gives me this “Oh damn it, I screwed up? Is this about me? Is this about my reviews?” kind of feeling. What are they trying to do? I really don’t know but that’s not how a superior should act in front of his/her subordinates in a meeting.

Life at home is not that nice too. Mom has been annoying the shits out of me lately. I’m soon going to take over her job. Sometimes when I want to do my own thing, she takes over my PC. She wakes me up at 3.30 in the wee hours in the morning to ask questions!!! She keeps bring home her work and asking me to help out. I mean I don’t mind helping out once in a while but for god sakes I work the whole day and I don’t want to face another pile of work when I get home…especially when it’s not mine. I already have other house work. I want my alone time! I need people to shut up and leave me alone god damn it. ARGHHHHHH.

Have finished reading Angles and Demon by Dan Brown. I still prefer Da Vinci Code though the whole world is telling me that I should like Angles and Demon more. Well world, I don’t. So stop telling me what book I prefer. Yeesh. I’m starting Digital Fortress soon, I hope it’s my taste.

There’s a few other books that I really want to read. Nobody's Perfect by Hirotada Ototake is one of them. I stumbled across the book, read a few pages, but by the time I put the book down, I realised I read more than 50 pages from that book. Very interesting life story that I think we all can learn from. Rm60++, that spells BROKE for me. Trying to get my hands on Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose too. My workmate Az (whom I think should have quite the same taste as me) told me that that book was one of his favourites. And if I do enjoy that book, I guess next after that will be The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. Reviews says it’s like a mixture of Dan Brown and Umberto Eco’s books.

Books books books….. going to drown myself in books for the weekends.

dog eat dog world

Things have been aggravating for the past few days. I have been really busy.

The work (folders) that was taken from me is (are) now given back to me. The folders were untouched for 16 days. I left it there for Kenny (not his\her real name) to take over but he was just a fucking slacker to even attempt to 'touch' it. When I got the folders back, no review was done. Zero. Zilch. I have to finish up 16 bloody days of backlogs on the folders.

You know what was worst? I felt I was being backstabbed. I was kind enough to teach and pass him all my information to ease his reviews. I answered all his queries and even included him on my mailing list when I was seeking information from other parties. I felt so arhghghg when one of my superiors questioned me about our reviews during a short unofficial meeting. All I did was help and complement Kenny in front of the bosses by all he did was comment negatively at my work and understands, making me look really bad. I guess that's what working life is all about. I guess this the dog eat dog world that I have still so much to learn from.

I'm not such a dumb ass though. I managed to 'recover' and get a little backing from my superior after further discussion. Of course I did have to resort to bullshitting and acting that I'm really not proud of.

Other than that things are fine. My current supervisor is promoted and will be leaving his post soon, so I will have to try harder to impress my next supervisor. *sign*

The Force Is Strong with the Dark Side

Watch it!
Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith

Was at GSC Midvalley for the Premiere last night with the Hitz.fm crew. Man... it was a great flick! The drama and fighting.... and the evil permeating every scene. Easily the best Star Wars episode (better than Empire Strikes Back!). Can't say too much without revealing too many key scenes, but the ending was superb!

Obi-Wan vs. Anakin (Darth Vader).

Ewan had never looked cooler! Hahahhahaha.

Saw JLo (local JLo), JJ and Rudy there... they actually rolled out the red carpet for the night.

Let's see... I got a free poster, Star Wars III soundtrack and bonus DVD, a Star Wars T-Shirt, Star Wars car shades and free drink and food for the event.

Great night.

You really have gotta watch this.



Go already! =)

PHI (1.618), The perfect ratio

Reading Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code reminded me of that 'perfect' number. A few years back I remembered watching a documentary on Discovery channel on the theory behind a beautiful face. What's the theory? PHI.

In Da Vincci Code, Dan gave a few examples. If you measure from the top of your head to your belly button (A), and then from your belly button to your toes (B), you will find B is 0.618% longer than A. You can try measuring your arm too, from the shoulders to the elbow, elbow to the tip of your fingers.

So how does this apply to the face? Well it's hard to explain it in text so you will have to see some pictures. According to the documentary, when measuring the distances and gaps on the face (or the human body I presume) the more 1.618 ratio makes one more beautiful. It's weird when you put beauty on scales... you'll get 1.618. Then again it's not all about PHI.

According to a research done, the more symmetric a person is, the more attractive the person. There's a bit of truth in that actually. Just imagine a normal face, and one with one eye larger than the other. The one with the symmetric face would be more attractive.

The documentary also interviewed a plastic surgeon who use this PHI theory to actually 'redesign' faces. The more symmetric and the more PHI'ish the better. He also took Tom Cruise and Liz Hurley's picture and drew all the PHI lines all over them; it does show that their eyes, noses and mouths are all on\almost on the PHI lines.

There are more interesting facts for you to discover in Da Vinci Code. Go read the book. If you think it's some boring book about art and science, well I bet you my next pay cheque that it is not. Suspense gila! I love the book! Rating 9\10

The + and - of sitting with Helpdesk

You know, I think it's already 2 weeks since the two guys from Helpdesk are with me and Jy in my office. They are seated just beside and behind me so I would have to listen to all their conversation with the customers all the time.

The advantages of sitting with them
1. Though they are Helpdesk from a different section of the company, some technologies are the same throughout the whole company. I got to learn some of the internal and technical information on my company's network, hardware, software, implementation and procedures.

Sometimes different customers would call but face the same problem. I just can't help but to actually think quietly of the solution in my mind, then patiently wait for Az or Su to solve it. I would usually keep my ears open to see if I was right about the solution. Hehehe.

Az like to share his knowledge. Sometimes after he finishes a call I would ask him questions on the technology or problem that the customer faces. He would gladly explain them to me. Learnt a lot of IT and company jargons from him, learnt a lot about how some of my company's applications runs, and a lot of security and control issues too. Az can speak German! Have to get him to teach me some before he move cubicles again.

Su is a patient character. I have not heard him get annoyed or frustrated or angry with any customer before. I really need to learn how to be calm like him. He's also in charge of some company's laptop. Too bad there are policies that he have to follow...if not I would be asking permission to mess around with it whahahaha.

2. Internet access! It's so sad sometimes when I have all the time in the world at the office but really have nothing to do. Az would sometimes let me use his ID to do some surfing. Hehehe.

3. Since Jy and I (and the rest of my team) are placed out of our big 'family', we seldom get exposed to procedures of other teams. Having the Helpdesk in the same room lets me and Jy know more about the company.

4. I'll be the first person to laugh at Helpdesk jokes. WHAHAHAHAHA.

The down side of sitting when Helpdesk folks
1. When Az and Su are out, me and Jy have to tolerate the 'telephone orchestra'. I have been listening to so much of ringing that I can even differentiate which rings are for which phones. Rings are different for Helpdesk calls and office extension calls. And then there is Su's on-call handphone too!

2. Other that the ringing, it's sometimes it’s just the noise. It's quite difficult to focus on my work sometimes when Az and Su are answering calls. Its fun listening to them solve problems, but sometimes it's just really kills the brain. The atmosphere gets a little scary when either of them gets a less cooperative customer.

3. DHL customers! There would be at least 7 to 8 DHL customers calling my company’s Helpdesk every day! Az said it's a normal thing for them because DHL toll free number is similar to my company’s. The calls annoy them, me and Jy too. More calls mean more noise.

Az and Su won't be sitting with us soon though, but don't know how soon. I wonder why my office room is like a hotel. Me and Jy are like the keepers. We see people come, we see people go. Every time we adapt to our new mates, *poof* they are gone again.

He should be jailed

I think that National Service dodger Ahmad Hafizal should be jailed.

I understand he is a good son. He quit school to help raise the family. I really respect and look highly on him. But, he was given a responsibility like all other students, so he must he responsible for his actions.

If I was in his shoes, I wouldn't attend the 3 month National Service either. I mean 3 whole months is a lot of time. One can earn quite a sum in 3 months to feed the family. But he why didn't he notify the people in charge? Why didn't he let officials know that he is not capable to carry out his responsibility? There are many cases where NS officials have let students make a deferment and skip NS, all with valid reasons.

Ahmad wouldn't be fined\jailed if he did that.

The newspapers are only kind of getting on the "good" side of Ahmad. But seriously..... I think he should be jailed for a while for his actions. "Saya malas nak pergi". Why is everyone making a big fuss over it? Is it because he is such a good boy for being the breadwinner of the family? I believe there are many worst cases like this, and at least these other students took on the responsibility to inform the officials of their problems.

Who is speaking for these students? The menteri besar? Where do these other poor but responsible students stand?

I really pity the other parties that are bombarded because of this issue, the police, the NS officials. I think they are in the right to do what they did. And I respect the judge what was judging Ahmad's case too.

I don't have compassion? Yeah maybe. I'm a cold hearted witch after all. I'm realistic. I'm not a fake pretender.

Healthy beautiful skin or Money

Can you imagine drinking only organic mix beverage for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a whole week? I think I'm doing that really soon. *sobb sobb*

My skin has been really bad during college days due to college stress and lack of sleep. My hormone imbalance wasn't helping either. My pimples would breakout like the blossom of morning glories. It's no different now when I'm working.

I can't say that I have stress at work. I don't feel pressured at work at all actually. It's just that when I have a lot of work, I have to stay back and make sure I finish it before the deadline. I hate to ask for an extension because I'm afraid I'll be branded 'inefficient'.

There's work to be done when I get home too. Sometimes I spend so much time doing house work, when its time to finish my own work, it's time to sleep. We cannot change the fact that we only have 24 hours in a day, but we all can do is manage the 24 hours. I'm kind of bad at time management, so when I fail to manage it properly, I usually push back and sacrifice my sleeping time. Lack of sleep really kills the skin.

I sometimes have this 'tidak apa' (I don't care) attitude about my physical appearance actually. But I think it's time for me to change. I got a major lecture today by one of my mom's colleague’s sister today. She's really pretty and has really nice skin. Meet her boyfriend too and he too has really healthy looking skin! She was over to sell some health products but she also kind of told me all the things I should be doing to save my skin. She was shocked when I told her my routine cleansing, lifestyle and eating habits. ....and for the first time in my life I felt embarrassed *shy shy*

I kind of agree with her actually. I don’t taking care of my skin at all. I really don't drink enough water. I love oily, junk and unhealthy food that kills the skin. I felt really bad when she gave me the *UHHHHHHHH OMG!* look with her big big bush baby eyes staring at me. I don’t know la, I don't really care sometimes. But I guess it's time to give my skin some attention.

So, I might be 'investing' in some products so help improve my skin internally and externally, or as she would say "internal health and external health". She advice me to take this organic drink thingy. I didn’t think it was that difficult at first, but nooooo. She told me I have to go on a fasting period, and to take that drink for meals! No other food allowed except for vegetables and fruits *WHAHAHAHAHAHAH joke of the year man* But no, she wasn't joking. The first thing that came to my mind was *OMG I'm already skinny enough, I can't be going diets like that! I'll be seriously blown away*.

But if I'm seriously going to take this drink thingy. I'll have to follow the 'fasting' strictly. The drink is supposing going to help cleanse my body system if it's toxins. Less toxins means better skin. I'm having doubts about it though. I don't think I'll have enough discipline to stick to this kind of diet. You know la, I'm a really 'wai sek' (glutton) person. The amount of food on my office cubicle won’t be helping me on this either. She told be I could start the drink diet slowly. Like only going on the drink diet for a day in a week, then try the diet for 2 days the following week, and then 3 days the next week.

She also recommended me a skin care range. Her boyfriend is currently using it, and I really can say I think it works for her boyfriend because WOW, both of them really have good skin. I don't know if the products will work for me though. The last time I tried a direct sale skin care product from Omega Trend Landen Brook that my mom bought for me, I had a serious skin break out! I was allergic to it. Anyway, she gave me a demo. And if I don't get any major breakouts in 2 to 3 days, it's save for my use.

One thing that caught my attention was the gentle exfoliate, it's kind of a scrub thing. She said for serious condition skin like mine, I should use it for 3 times a day. *HAR! scrub woor! Kill the skin weiiii* Then she explained again, it's a gentle scrub. And their scrub is rounded scrub so it won't hurt the skin. The more you scrub, the scrub will actually melt and be absorbed by the skin. Kind of like absorbing the nutrients or something like that I guess. I was hesitative about the scrub at first, but after I tried it, I changed my mind. The usual off the shelf scrub really pokes the skin. But this scrub is really different.

But have to see how la. The products are not cheap.... at least not for me la. I'm always broke these days. I don't think I'll be able to afford to fork out so much money for this. But the question is "Healthy beautiful skin or Money?" Plus there's no guaranty that the products will work for me. But then again, no harm trying.

Different but same

During lunch one of my workmate Ad asked me and Jin something. "Eh, both of you so close, neighbours, what if you like the same guy? What will happen?" You know it's so weird because of all 21++ years in my life I have never thought about this. We have never encountered anything like that before too. It didn't take me (us) long to answer Ad's question. ...Actually both of us re acted the same. We would never fall for the same guy. We have different taste in our man.

Sometimes it's weird when I think about it. Me and Jin are different in so many ways. But yet we are still two peas in a pod.

She's always the more feminine one, my clothes and fashion guru. I think I was more of the tom boy. We went to different primary and secondary school. Same college but ended up taking different majors. She enjoys clubbing, but raving is fun for me too.

We like different kinds of animes. She likes real life stories, but like fantasy. She like simulation games, but I like first person shooter games.

We even have different eating habits. I always tell her that she has two small stomachs. And I have one big one. I can finish off all of food from the plate (all goes to the big stomach), but will have no way of drinking my cup of water. Jin on the other hand will have leftovers on her plate (fill up her small stomach), but she finished her cup of water (and fill up the other stomach)... and sometimes help me with mine too.

Sometimes I think it's because of our differences (and the way we understand each other) that brings our friendship to this stage. It's better than being twins! Hehehe.

Anyway, have also thought about Zhong. There's no way we can fall for the same man....unless he suddenly turns gay without telling me. Being close to him makes me feel very comfortable sometimes. It's like what Ad will call, "She's not a girl already, she's my heng dai, she's my (male) buddy" I think I'm a buddy to Zhong, and to his friends too hehehe.

You know sometimes you have to watch you say in front of girls\guys. We don't have to do that with us. He can be in his HORNY mode all he wants, and I can be the BITCH I want to be. And when the day ends, we are still what we are, buddies.

It's hard to find a person who can really take the truth, but Zhong some how always take what I say as advice, not as insults. (....although I know sometimes I can be 'lebeh'. Sorry dude... don't why I'm such a bitch sometimes)

Deja Vu

It took me quite sometime to wake up this morning. Slept late and had a really weird dream that drained all my energy.

I dreamt that I going to drive up to Genting alone! LOL! The destination was Genting, but the roads were nothing like Genting's. It's not the first time that I have had this dream. Everything I dream about Genting, it's always about me, a car, and Genting. The roads are all the same in my dream, but never like the ones in Genting.

Actually a lot of my repetitive dreams revolve around the same area. It happens so many times until I can remember which road goes where even when I'm awake ... even right now. It's like there's another earth in my dream. It's like living a second life there. Feels weird sometimes.

Sometimes I just feel like it's a Deja Vu too. Sometimes I feel like I have dreamt of the story\location\action before... but only happen so much later in the real world. I wonder if dreams do come true this way.

Anyway, I went bowling with my colleagues after work today. My team leader and supervisor were there too. I had a lot of fun! I broke and chipped my nails though. I don't know why but no matter how short my nails are, they will still chip. =( I think its the way I bowl. I think I let go of the ball wrongly. Got two strikes too! Muahahaha



.... HAHAHA that ball went into the drain :p

Someone tried to break into my home yesterday

Someone tried to break into my home yesterday night.

My dad found the main gate unlocked this morning. The padlock was missing. He thought that I forgot to lock the gate after I came home yesterday, so he waited until I woke up today to question me about my irresponsible actions.

Forgetting to lock the car door was one hard lesson I have learnt. The last time I forgot to lock my dad's car door, some thief climbed over the house gate and broke into the car, ransacking the car and stealing all that was valuable including the radio. But forgetting to lock the main gate? I'm not as careless as that. It's the main gate for god's sake!

I was out and came home late yesterday. I would usually let myself in the gate very quickly at times like that because it's dangerous not too. I'll never know if someone is out hiding some where and waiting for the opportunity to pounce on me like what Hobbes does to Kelvin. I always make it a habit to let myself in the house quickly, and locking every lock after me. There was no way that I would forget to lock the gates.

My dad went searching for the padlock after that. He found it on the table in the patio. The lock was there, but it was meddled with. It was broken. My dad then inspected the whole garden area looking for other signs. The car doors were all locked, so the car was safe. We checked all our shoes in the shoe cupboard and none were missing. The padlocks and door locks to enter my house was untouched. So what did the thief steal/do? My dad then found that the side sliding entrance was unlocked. Thank god the thief couldn't break the extra padlock!

I have to prepare myself if things like this happen again. One of my mom's friend's (They are Chinese) home was broke into once. One of the robbers almost raped one of her daughters. The only reason he didn't was because there was a Chinese male in the gang of robbers and he warned the other robbers not to mess with people his race. If they were not Chinese, ...well we all know what would have taken placed. The robber feeling angered and disappointed then kicked and punched her in the stomach and face.

FUCK THOSE ROBBERS!

My advice to all;
1# Keep an umbrella\baseball bat and a working torch light in all rooms. Also keep you handphone (if you have one) with you when you sleep.
2# Make sure you\your kids lock your\their doors when they sleep.
3# Do not open the doors\response to knocks under any circumstances. Only open if you hear a familiar voice. (e.g your parents voice)
4# If knocking persist, get ready for combat. Prepare to scream and to defend yourself.
5# Do not investigate noises alone or without telling someone else.

I don't know what would have happened if the thief(s) did break into the house.

New animes

Cendol anyone? Wahahahaha....yep I'm so gross ;P. Still having my sore throat but getting better.

I spent the day watching and talking about animes today. Have not been in this anime fever for a long long time. My chat with Soloh and reading Nacente's post made me even more in the mood to blog animes today.

So you ask me, what's new on my list? Well, let's see.



Tsubasa Chronicles: Latest release is episode 4. Highly recommended. It's about a kid archaeologist who needs to travel to different world in different dimensions to collect feathers that are part of his beloved princess's heart.


Loveless: Okay, this anime I don't recommend to all, unless you can take some gay and paedophile. But if you can take it, its worth a watch. It's not some high-school type of animes though. It's some how serious but somehow funny. Some gheyyyy jokes here and there. There are fantasy fight scenes and some not so girly elements in the anime too. Latest release episode 4.

Not so new animes.


Oruchuban Ebichu: Watching this anime gives me the feeling of when I'm with my bunch of hentai (horny) friends joking about 18sx topics. If these words turns you on, then it's a must watch for you; 25 year old office lady, pink panties with frills, green vibrator, kuritorisu and mouse as a house maid. 14 episodes, all out.


Gankutsuou aka Count of Monte' Cristo: The first impression the anime gave me was "OMG what a yucky anime". I kept on watching though and I fell in love with it. I have to give the story line a thumb up, but the animation was a bit off. Just imagine using green screen for their clothes. When the characters move, their clothes pattern do not move with them, yuck. It hard on the eyes at first, but you'll get used to the animation after a few episodes. Full 24 episodes all out.


Gantz 2: I absolutely loved the first season of GANTZ. I love the animation, I loved the story line! Still one of my favourite animes. GANTZ 2 is also good, except it got more hentai'ish in a few episodes. But over all nice anime. It speaks some truth about human characters.

Old animes that I'm still watching.



Naturo: I don't know if it's me but why is the anime getting draggy these days?


Initial D 4th stage: .....can't wait till the Hong Kong movie comes out! Fast cars and good looking guys. What else can a gal ask for.... HAHAHHHAHA .... wait let me finish my question..... in a movie? ;P


Bleach: Getting better and more interesting by the episode!
