Just Say Hi

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 12:12:00 +0000

****************
Just a random though: Anyone ever joined or thought of joining dating website?

For those of you who are wondering, the answer is no. I have not participated nor am I planning on indulging in online dating or anything along that line. If I was single and available, I might consider it. Who knows, it might turn out to be fun and I just might meet my Mr Right. After all, I met Ivan through one the strangest ways ever. So, you never know what might hit you!

Seriously though, such services can only have high success rates in Western countries and not in countries like Malaysia. If we had such dating services here, the crime rates for rape will definitely skyrocket (as if it is not bad enough at the present moment). There are too many bad guys and too little intelligent girls in this part of the world.

That said, this is one of those times that I am glad to be part of the minority crowd!

The Magic of Hoodia

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 13:19:00 +0000

****************
I will give a special prize (yes I will find a way to deliver it to you no matter which continent or planet you originate from) to anyone of you who can tell me what a hoodia is… Any takers? If you do not know and are curious then by all means, read on.

A hoodia is actually a genus of thirteen species in the flowering plant family known as Apocynaceae, which is under the subfamily of Asclepiadoideae. They are actually stem succulents, described as "cactiform" due to its remarkable similarity to the unrelated cactus family.

Some surprising facts about hoodias is that they can reach up to one metre in height (almost as tall as me!) and have large flowers, often with flesh colour and strong smell. Most Hoodia species are protected plants while several species are grown in homes as garden plants.

One species known as Hoodia Gordonii, is being investigated for use as an appetite suppressant. Yes you heard me right. Appetite suppresant. It is something that I need in a large quantity and can never get enough of for as long as I live. At least, as long as there are tempting and salivacious food around.

If you are interested in giving the Hoodia Weight Loss Product a try, do check out the website.

Child Racism

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 06:37:00 +0000

****************
One Saturday morning, I went to the office to finish up some work. My department secretary, who was seated nearby, was also there along with her 5 year old daughter called Amanda. Since I love kids, I played with little Amanda for a while before beginning my work.

After a while of being left alone, she got restless and asked her mother if she could go to the pantry for a snack. Her mother agreed so off she went. Coincidentally, another Indian lady (also a secretary but for another department) was also there that day with her daughter.

When I walked to the pantry to make a drink, I saw the two munchkins socialising. I did not understand a word they were communicating despite the fact that one was a Chinese and one was a Indian hence they could not possibly any other language in common besides English.

Anyway, I assumed that children say nothing out of something most of the time. I went back to my place to resume with my work as soon as I was done making my drink. 15 minutes later, Amanda returned to her mother, who asked what she had been doing for the past 30 minutes.

Amanda told her mother that she had made a new friend. After which, she added really loudly (in the still and quiet office on a Saturday morning), “My friend is black, mummy!!!” Her mother tried to hush her but the little girl kept repeating herself as if trying to prove a point.

You racist people will love Amanda.

Unique or Weird?

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 03:00:00 +0000

****************
I think it is pretty unfair that we do not get paid overtime in financial institutions. At least, not the one I work for currently. I only arrived home at 8.45pm yesterday because I was out entertaining one of my clients at a coffee house. Although I was busy sipping some delicious ice blended fruit drink, it was still considered work.

My client brought along the company director from Singapore (who happened to be in Kuala Lumpur for the day) to introduce to me. The moment I was introduced to him by my client, I almost burst out in laughter. I had to contain all that air and saliva inside my mouth by shutting it so tightly that I could not even say, “Hi!” Instead, I just smiled.

Fino Fijateh.

Yes, that is the company director’s name. What a name! I never did call him by his name throughout our whole conversation because I was not sure whether he liked to be call Fino or Fijateh or Fino Fijateh or Mr Fino or Mr Fijateh or Mr Fino Fijateh.

I wonder why people give their children such names. When I got home, I told Ivan about it and he looked so stunned. Somehow, this got me to think what we should name our children. I definitely want them to have English names so I will select them. As for the Chinese names, I will leave it up to my parents or my in-laws.

We are planning to have two of them little creatures. If we get a boy, I would like to name him Ethan. If we get a girl, I would probably name her Amelia (if you do not already know, it is actually a combination of my name). If we get two boys or two girls, I would have to further consult the name dictionary.

Wiley X

Wiley X Blink features double injected rubber temple tips combined with an incredibly comfortable Facial Cavity Seal.

The Lizard & Bee Home [Part II]

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 02:16:00 +0000

****************
As the weekend approaches, my heart rate increases.

This weekend, Ivan and I are going to our new home and meeting up with some contractors for some renovation quotes. The excitement of getting the key to our new home, engaging an interior designer or contractor for renovation works and furniture shopping is definitely too overwhelming for my minute physique to contain. I am bursting with vigour almost every second.

We had already done most of our household accessories (artificial plants, paintings, ornaments, etc.) shopping last month in Chatuchak and Suan Lum Market in Bangkok. Although we spent quite a bomb there, we enjoyed ourselves tremendously and I could say that it was worth every cent.

Seriously, I think getting a new home with the one you love and doing everything related to it is indeed one of the most beautiful experiences in life. There is nothing (for the time being) like saving up and putting every cent into a dwelling we can call our own. Although it is not easy to do so financial wise, I can safely say that that is probably one of the bigger factors that made this whole experience so worthwhile.

The Dessert [Part II]

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 02:02:00 +0000

***************
If you enjoyed my previous post about the dessert, you will enjoy this one even more.

To refresh your memory, Ivan and I had bought a tub of ice cream on Valentine’s Day to savour after our delivered pizza. It was no ordinary ice cream, it was a Haagen Dazs Tiramisu flavoured one. The best part of all is Ivan bought it voluntarily, without me having to exert any amount of force.

From the moment I took my first bite of the pizza until the moment I was finishing the last slice of pizza, all I thought about was the ice cream. I thought about how I was going to enjoy it and all the toppings (mainly chocolate chips) that I was having it with, I was delirious.

Having swallowed my last bite of the pizza, I dashed to the kitchen for my dessert. I opened the freezer, searching high and low for the glorious tub of calories. Not that the freezer was so big that I had to search every corner to find something so obvious, but I did so because I could not find it.

Feeling frustrated and upset, I stopped for a moment to think. Ivan was the one who brought the ice cream into the house from the car… If I was Ivan, what would I typically do? Immediately, I opened the fridge and there it (the glorious tub) is right in front of my eyes.

I quickly removed the cover and ripped off the plastic to confirm if my greatest fear came true. Indeed it did. Inside the tub was the most watery Tiramisu concoction I have ever seen in my entire 25 years of life. All thanks to Ivan who did not know better than to keep ice creams in a freezer.

One for the Druggies

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 04:21:00 +0000

****************
This morning, I stumbled onto a website known as Cordblood-Drugrehab.info that I would like to recommend (if applicable). It contains extensive information relating to drug rehabilitation, addiction treatment and links to substance abuse support groups as well as detox centers.

The website features a directory of the most common drugs along with its respective symptoms and side effects. This is to enable you to identify possible drug addicts among your peers and family members as well as tips on how to stage an intervention.

I have to admit that some of the drug descriptions can be rather interesting even for people who do not have any drug problems (like myself). Examples are the history of the term 420 and its meaning to pot smokers, party drugs like Sextasy which is a combination of Viagra and Ecstasy.

Apart from that, the website also discusses the controversal topic of stem cell research and cord blood and their ground breaking medical benefits.

Tale Time

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 02:07:00 +0000

****************
It is story time once again. Now, grab a comfortable chair and read on.

Once upon a time, there was this guy (let’s refer to him as World Class Loser) who is very lonely. He is a total nerd and has a weird character too. No ordinary girl could even go as close to liking him simply because he is too strange, right from the thoughts in his mind to the way he behaves.

Thing is, he is desperate for a girlfriend, for companionship. As I have mentioned, he is weird, hence due to that he has a limited number of friends too. The friends that he actually hangs out with are one or two that are not even true friends, to begin with...

What’s worse is that he has requirements for a girlfriend like some well deserving guy. Anyway, he finally found a girl (let’s refer to her as World Class Girlfriend) that is normal. She is everything he is not. In short, she is like any ordinary girl and he is a total freak.

Long story short, the relationship did not last long (as expected). He claimed that she is too playful, fooling around with guys, etc. She is a dutiful teenager socialising with her friends. Did World Class Loser expect her to be like him, staying home cooped up in his own room every single day?

She was really upset having been accused of that because she is indeed a proper girl and did not in any way cheat on him. After a while, she understood why he said those things. One cannot expect a nerd that has been locked in his room for 22 years and has never seen the world to understand an ordinary girl like her.

So World Class Girlfriend decided to let it go and move on with her life. A few years down the line, she heard from World Class Loser again. Apparently, he just got out of a long-term relationship. The girl made use of him, raked every penny she could and then left him cold heartedly.

To convince him of her sincerity so he would give her all that he had, she slept with him. From what I understand, she was like a whore. A desperate nerd like him would have loved the attention, of course. So they made the best couple you could ever imagine.

After the break up, he tried to get World Class Girlfriend back again. Reason(s)? Firstly, he realised that she is the best girlfriend in the world and all the accusations that he thrown at her was nothing but a proof of his foolishness. Secondly, he knew that he could never find another girl that would accept him.

She could never take him back because she was already seeing someone else and he was way too freaky for her liking. So one day, World Class Loser told her he will wait for her forever and that she is the most special girl ever and all that nonsense. A week later, he got together with a girl he met at a Cupid event.

Ironic, isn’t it? That happened sometime in May 2006. He told World Class Girlfriend that he did not love her because she is not his type. However, he is trying very hard to because she seems to be crazy about him. A guy who is lack of attention like him tend to have thoughts like these.

In August 2006, World Class Girlfriend informed him that she is going to get married and he had the WEIRDEST reaction ever. No well wishes, nothing. Instead, he said her marriage will not last because she is a player and never meant for marriage.

Jealous of my happiness. Angry he did not get the girl. Envious of me marrying before him. Fuming because he is left with the girl he did not love. Left out for not being able to do the same. Resentful because he is not the one I had chosen.

They all described how he felt.

Now, December 2006, he proposed to the girlfriend he does not love and they are getting registered soon. Can you believe that? After 5 months into a relationship and they are planning on the biggest commitment ever. I guess they are probably both equally desperate because the girl agreed so easily.

He probably proposed in the first place because I am getting married and he was green-eyed. I hate to be the driver of his relationship but looks like his life is governed by mine. That is really sad but no one can blame him, he is born desperate and weird.

I feel for him. So very sad a person and a situation. I really pity his girlfriend, she is just a toy to him. A couple can hardly get to understand each other in 5 months as everything is still prefect and rosy. Give it 12 months and things will change. Then again, what can we expect out of a desperate guy right?

Even if it doesn’t work out, he will have to make sure it does. Otherwise he will end up alone in life… Better to have someone he does not really want (second best) than to be alone. I suppose that is his weakness and greatest fear.

I have a confession to make. World Class Loser = My ex-boyfriend. Which means, World Class Girlfriend = Me. Yes, I know it is pretty big headed of me to give myself such a name but it seemed perfect for the story and the occasion.

Stay in the Light

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 06:41:00 +0000

****************
Since Ivan and I finally have the keys to our new home, there were various things for us to consider doing to the house. One of them that came up in our discussion was the kitchen lighting, as the kitchen is the heart of the home.

We were contemplating between warm lights, simple chandelier or ordinary pendulous lights. Each type of lights has its own pros and cons hence we decided to browse the Internet for ideas.

That was when I we stumbled upon Shop Premier, we website that retails all types of lights. We were rather fascinated by the variety and the fact that purchases above $100 include free shipping.

Do check it out if you are light shopping!

The Accident

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 03:20:00 +0000

****************
Last night, just as I was about to retire, I received a phone call from Ivan.

Ivan: Bee?
Me: Yes, that's me.
Ivan: I ran over a child.
Me: Hehehe... That's cool. (Thinking he was a proud murderer of a baby cockroach)
Ivan: I ran over a child.
Me: Erm alright.
Ivan: Really, I ran over a child.
Me: Uh huh...
Ivan: I am sending her to the hospital now.
Me: Oh my God!!! You were serious???
Ivan: Yes.
Me: How???
Ivan: She suddenly dashed out to the road so I could not see her...
Me: Gosh.
Ivan: I will call you later alright?
Me: Erm... Sure.

After hanging up, I ran downstairs to tell my mother what happened. She was so horrified that words cannot describe her reaction. In fact, she seemed even more worried and upset that I was. According to my sister, after I went back upstairs, she was so upset that she looked like she was on the verge on tears.

An hour later, Ivan called me back and told me that the child was alright. Her parents understood that it was her fault for dashing out to the road and not minding oncoming vehicles. Also, her CT Scan showed that everything was alright - just a little bruise on the nose.

Thank goodness.

The Grand Arrival

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 16:11:00 +0000

****************
Last weekend, I took a flight to east Malaysia with my colleague for a business trip. The departure was on a Friday morning hence we arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport an hour earlier to check in.

After checking in, we proceeded to the departure gate. Just before we entered the said area, we had to scan our hand luggage and walk through a metal detector.

Upon stepping into the vicinity of the scanners and detectors, I almost passed out. A few villages of old Malay folks swarmed the area, all dressed in white – on their way to Mekah, I suppose.

They were rude, ignorant and every other inhuman word in the dictionary. The way they did not queue, coughed out loud without covering their mouths, pushed me around… It was despicable!

I must have looked so upset that even my colleague noticed. She said, “They are on their way to Mekah. When they arrive, their WHOLE FAMILY will greet them at the airport. From the oldest to youngest member of the family.”

Somehow or rather, I took that statement lightly.

Right after the plane had landed in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday night, my colleague and I made our way out to the arrival hall. Upon passing the luggage collection area, I almost passed out again.

There were approximately 6 conveyor belts in motion, each and every one of which was swarmed with those old ignorant folks dressed in white. It was then that I thanked God I did not check in my luggage.

I walked right past them and proceeded to the arrival hall. The number of brown skinned individuals that gathered there made me feel like I was Celine Dion and all of them came to welcome me to Malaysia.

My colleague was right and I could not believe my eyes. You would not too unless you have seen it for yourselves. Honestly, I have nothing against Malays but they way they behave really disgust me… Sigh.

You will never believe me until you have met a Malaysian Malay. Welcome to Malaysia.

Mint, Anyone?

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 09:59:00 +0000

Allow me to introduce to you the budding evolution of credit cards: Mint Credit Cards!

Mint had in year 2003 introduced their credit cards. There are two versions of the card, one being the standard credit card while the other is the MC2 credit card that has the bottom right hand corner removed. This was actually introduced as the first shape transformation in United Kingdom for the past 37 years.

With Mint Credit Cards, one may enjoy a 0% interest on balance transfers and purchases until 1 December 2007. On top of that, one may also get a 0% bonus offer until 1 August 2008 on balance transfers debited to their account during the month of February 2008.

Recently, in September 2006, Mint introduced the Mint Gift Card. Fundamentally, it is a prepaid credit card that one may present as a gift. This is especially useful for those who may now know precisely which stores to obtain vouchers from (as a gift, of course). The Mint Gift Card is something that can be used at almost any store.

Further information about the company and its products may be found at the website.

The Dessert [Part I]

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 01:27:00 +0000

****************
On Valentine’s Day, Ivan and I went to the supermarket to get a tub of ice cream for dessert after our pizza.

When we arrived at the freezer, I asked him which flavour he would like. He said he would go with anything that I have decided on. After looking at the freezer for 10 seconds, I noticed that the supermarket had a limited selection of brands and flavours.

I thought of getting something that costs approximately RM10.00 to RM20.00, which would probably be a pretty decent tub of ice cream. Much to my surprise, Ivan pointed out the Haagen Dazs Tiramisu ice cream to me because it costs RM28.90 and he is normally very stingy.

He will never suggest for us to buy such expensive things unless I was the one who suggested, and then he would just pay for it. Anyway, I looked at the freezer for another 10 seconds before grabbing the Haagen Dazs tub and dashing to the counter before Ivan could change his mind.

At the cashier, he took out his wallet and searched for some cash to pay. When I saw that all the had in his hands was a RM10.00 note, I said, “10 bucks? That’s not going to be enough.” “Oh then how much?” “Erm… A RM50.00 note is more like it.”

Apparently he did not know that my precious tub of cream cost so much. No wonder he suggested that we took that brand! He said, “Gosh. I am not aware that a tub of lousy cream and milk is so expensive.” “You chose it, not my fault!”

And then I secretly grinned like a Cheshire Cat.

Rhinoplasty

noreply@blogger.com (Amie Lee) — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 15:02:00 +0000

****************
If you have been thinking about Beverly Hills rhinoplasty, Rodeo Drive Rhinoplasty might be just the place for you. Their offices and surgery center are located on Rodeo Drive, being an exclusive street that represents the pinnacle of taste and service.

As the only plastic surgery center on the world's most glamorous boulevard, they bring similar standards to your rhinoplasty care. Their staff work to provide the best possible surgical outcomes in a setting that embodies the standards and lifestyle that you may require. This means attention to your individual needs before, during, and after your rhinoplasty.

Rodeo Drive Rhinoplasty's approach is different from the norm. They have a team of two surgeons with complementary training and backgrounds that perform all nose surgeries together. This interdisciplinary approach provides you the benefit of a broad perspective and skill during evaluation and treatment, as well as cosmetic and functional aspects of your rhinoplasty.

Only paying attention to aesthetics can lead to breathing problems following surgery while only paying attention only to breath flow can compromise aesthetics. Hence Rodeo Drive Rhinoplasty surgeons work to overcome these problems by using different perspectives to focus simultaneously on both improving appearance as well as function.

Dr Lloyd Krieger is a plastic surgeon who focuses on creating an attractive nose during your rhinoplasty while Dr Marc Kerner is a facial plastic surgeon or otalayrngologist who works not only to create an attractive nose but also focuses on functions so that breathing is not impaired, or if necessary, will improved during the procedure.

Various people choose to have rhinoplasty or other nose surgeries for many reasons. At times, their nose does not match the shape and size of the rest of their face or at times, their nose is too wide, too large, too narrow, or has a bump on it while some people have breathing problems. Rodeo Drive Rhinoplasty customise treatments to individual needs and concerns.

Ivan related to me one of his experiences as a child over dinner yesterday.

Little Ivan learnt how to use chopsticks when he was as little as 8. No one taught him how to use them, he just decided to pick a pair up one day and learn for himself.

After some time of careful observation, he had noticed there were 2 methods of using chopsticks. The first is where only one of the chopsticks move (the correct method) and the second is where the chopsticks cross one another (the wrong method).

Normally, those who were not taught the correct method of using chopsticks would use them the wrong way – like me. You may now proceed to laugh all you want. Anyway, little Ivan crossed his chopsticks too as he was never taught the correct method.

One fine day, little Ivan was sitting beside his aunt and watching her eat with chopsticks. He noticed that only one of the chopsticks was moving. After keeping his curiosity inside for the longest time, he finally asked, “Why do you use the chopstick that way?”

“This is the correct way of using chopsticks,“ his aunt replied.

He then recalled that his father crossed his chopsticks too. So he started to think that if his aunt was right, his father was using his chopsticks wrongly. To further satisfy his curiosity, he ran towards his mother to get some answers.

“Why do dad and aunt use their chopsticks differently? Is dad using them the wrong way?” he asked.

Before I go on, I should add that Ivan's father is a Christian.

His mother’s reply was classic.

“Your father’s way of using chopsticks is Christian style.”

The things parents say to put an end to a child’s curiosity...
