I got it too!!!

At last....YES! Alrite! Hahahhaha....I got my Starbucks Planner d :D Seems like quite a number of places is already out of it...WOW! This planner really has demand....Suddenly i feel so 'kiasu' d ehehehe...


I got 2 know about this planner from a Facebook fren of mine who is working in Starbucks.. She kept promoting about d planner but at first I thought a planner like that cost RM18 and need 2 purchase a Grande? I had my doubts as last year I had 1 which was not that impressive at all... So i pass d chance...that was about 1 month ago... but then after some frens showed me how easy 2 use and well organised this planner is compared 2 d previous year, i was intrigued but still contemplated...


Then 2day I got a surprise Xmas pressie from my staff ( Thanx APPLE )....it was really nice of her 2 give me this gift....d planner is really useful even though I've yet 2 scribble anything on it.. It also has lots of inspirational statements and d 1 I like most is d " Inspire Change 1 Cup at A Time " ....very meaningful indeed....APPLE, thanx again 4 d wonderful gift! :D

Tiring day...

Another rushing day indeed...got up from bed...check some messages in Facebook and got everything prep in under 30 mins and there i go...flying all the way 2 Klang from Bandar Utama.. luckily 4 me d traffic was not bad as I was using NKVE... hope i was not caught 4 SPEEDING as i did saw a "pak kiok" (~ a term in cantonese 4 traffic police) hiding behind 1 of d pillars.. Reached I - City ( http://www.i-city.com.my/malaysia/model/index.html ) for my appointment and my 1st thought was WOW! it is stunning... they have a huge concierge lot approximately 2 shop office 2 welcome guests. The staffs r professional and d concierge is fitted with great gadgets especially d Mac Machines as well as d IP phones from Cisco..

My reason 4 being there is 2 do some "spy work" 4 my co...2 find out more about wat I City has 2 offer...i met up with 2 person who gave great presentation with their Mac Pro book ( how i wish my co could provide me with that ) and i am "SOLD"...hahaha but luckily i did not have that much of money 2 actually paid d upfront deposit 2 lease those units :P After 2 hours of viewing and discussion i left I City and rushed back all d way 2 KL 2 meet up my fren/client without having any breakfast nor lunch!

Old Town White Coffee

It was around 3 when I got to KL City thaks to the infamous jam that we alwiz have 2 brace through... Picked up my fren/client from her office and we went 4 our lunch at Old Town Kopitiam @ Jalan Yap Kwan Seng... Without a second i already ticked on wat i wanted as i was so hungry i cant stand it anymore...ordered 1 curry mee, half boiled egg and Old Town famous White Coffee while my fren/client ordered Lam Mee & warm water...

Half Boiled Egg

we chatted not more than 5 minutes and our food arrives...speaking of fast food...its definitely fast! if u were 2 compare 2 some fast food outlet either Mc D or KFC (especially during peak hours) u will feel d difference that Old Town service is even faster! i quickly GULP down my food like a starving POW... and either am too hungry or d curry mee there does taste fantastic?

my tasty curry mee lunch

We continued with our chats and i oso helped my fren/client 2 plan out her retirement. Btw she is only 26 this year and she agrees with d retirement package that i shown 2 her
:P ( ppl should prepare way long b4 they retire ) . After she filled up d forms using her own blood as signature (juz kidding) ... I sent her back 2 office b4 i return back 2 office.. definitely a tiring day indeed...settled some e-mails and made some calls b4 joining my colleagues at our office canteen 2 drink a "teh tarik" b4 continuing my work till 8pm!

HER lunch

can u really imagine that at 8pm d traffic at Jln Tun Razak is still as bad as during peak hours? I was stuck there easily 30 mins and it took me about 50 mins to reach back home! sigh.. well its been a really tiring day indeed and 4 d past 1 week i've been sleeping easily around 2 to 3 am but last nite..only 11.30pm! Feel rested and ready 2 go 4 another rushing day especially 2day is Friday!

Hope 2 be able 2 update some cool pics of my office gift exchange to9!

Cya all...

Mid Week already??!!

my dinner dish

time really flies huh? its already wed and we're juz 8 days from Xmas day and 14 days from 2009....been a hectic day 4 me as i need 2 rush all d way 2 bukit raja 2 'investigate' some competition and report back 2 my bosses...seems a failed attempt as d 'informant' has no time 4 me & i have 2 rush back there again tomorrow :( travelling really tiring lar...sigh...all 4 work..

wing & "kai-che" dinner

anyways after a tiring and clearing office 'craps' ...i quickly rushed off 2 The Curve and luckily it aint jam all d way...juz took me 30 mins 2 reach d destination from KL City...muz be a record! parking was still a hassle in The Curve as its almost full but yet there aint many ppl around... those r employees of d retails there perhaps?

wing & "kai-che" s dessert

anyways sneaked in 2 BORDERS 2 look 4 Wing...while waiting 4 "kai-che" 2 arrive, we browsed through some mags...seems like publications nowadays aint cheap...its been awhile since i bought mags and i am not sure about d increase of prices but its really shocking 2 c such small publication less than 0.5 inches thick at RM10?? wow...anyways 30 mins later "kai-che" arrived at 7.30pm and we went to Hometown Kopitiam 2 search 4 food but after sitting there like 5 mins we agreed 2 move 2 Kim Gary instead as d menu there does not attract us at all :P

our 'yin yong'

yeay! after waiting 4 more than 10 mins of order, i am able 2 satisfy my hungry tummy as i had my early lunch around 12...tummy has been hungry since 4pm...hehehe...seriously i need 2 jot down d names of d food next time if i am 2 survive this blogging biz...cant recall at all... :P

Moving ON....2009

2008 has been a great and not so great year 4 me...how so? d good things first...got 2 know lots of new and great frens namely Wing, Eugenie (ah ma), Alice Teh (kai-che), Janny, Nor juz 2 emphasise a few...oso able 2 learn more about invesments & how it helped me as well as my investors on growing their pool of resources, achieving self satisfaction goals which i never thought of achieving...getting 2 know high net worth people around...able 2 visit redang once more...

packed @ Starbucks Garden

4 d sad part...lost someone i loved most...i do understand loosing loved ones is part of life cycle be it parents, family members, frens etc but those r mostly relates 2 natural world cycle... i've never felt so much hurt b4 .... not only has she hurt me once but twice! frens were asking why am i so stupid to be cheated not only once....i cannot answer them at all...well its going 2 be 2009 soon and I will leave it all behind as it has already been 4 months and 18 days since d break up.. well i guess its during these time that u really know who ur true frens r as they shine bright in d dark and this i wanna thank Alex, Alan, Lai, Eugenie, Wing, Alice & Nor (not 4getting my god parents, priscilla, christine, crystal, janny, karyn & estella) ....Like my god parents said : GOD has other plans 4 me & oso these experiences make me stronger!

most of u will be wondering why d topic that i am mentioning here is not related 2 d pics at all... well ur rite until now :P actually why i am showing d above pics is that ppl r really spending.. look at d massive jam at mid valley and its only 4 pm on a Tuesday! not 4getting Starbucks @ The Gardens....90% occupied...Starbucks @ Megamall is 100% occupied...Starbucks @ Borders, The Gardens is 80% occupied...btw am not promoting Starbucks here ok? i'm trying 2 relate 2 my blog readers that d economy is not as bad as wat d media has been potraying...sure...lots of u will argue is not here yet or d ppl visiting there r youngsters or this is d year end Xmas sale etc... well u might be true or u might not...juz 4 u readers 2 note that Starbucks is not a need but a lifestyle and if ppl can afford it...u should realise that d ppl has d purchasing power...it shows...ppl can spend on fine dining, lifestyle, shop like no ppl biz, travel.....not only that...as of now...its still an employee market out there...whereby employee chooses d company and not d other way around.....so wat say u?

Xmas season is back....

Addiction

Lately I've been addicted 2 wat most of d ppl r doing... blogging and photography and this I send my thanx 2 my "kai-che" or "god-sis" referred in my previous post "2008.. a year has been". It's really a good past time 4 me 2 learn more about other hobbies as I've been clubbing & partying non stop since my bad break in July this year...a really good way 2 divert attention..

Thanx 2 my "kai-che" as well as she lent me her Canon S3 IS 2 play with....since she got herself a new baby; a Nikon D40 :D so now am trying 2 learn d ropes of photoshooting as well as blogging which I am trying out by uploading some photos which i took quite recently...I seem 2 be stuck with just 1 photo uploaded and not being able 2 upload further...so I guess it would have 2 do 4 now till I figure it out...anyone care 2 assist please? :(

2008....a year that has been

yupz...another year is coming 2 an end...
how time really flies...d last i have been 2 this blog was during d start of d year and can u believe it? its already d end of d year....time really flies huh? its juz like winking ur eye and ur looking at d future...something like Hiro Nakamura from HEROES...well 2 some extent..

why am i here again if some of u might be wondering after missing a year? well i guess i juz wanna post up something about myself here instead of juz facebook? yea...am considered a facebook junkie...everyday i will be there...not juz cause of d applications but more of chatting with new found frens...its funny that u really can get 2 know lots of ppl there...and some really great frens...such as my now unofficial "kai-che" or god sis ( visit her at http://www.aliceteh.com/ & u will know why she is my inspiration & earned my respect) & wondering if there is such a thing as official "kai-che" biz :P

anyways another respectable person that i got 2 know via facebook...is my "ah ma" ~ mother in cantonese dialect of chinese language...not maternally but given so as she can provide that moral support be it in my personal life or biz...check her out at her FB acc http://www.facebook.com/inbox/?ref=mb#/profile.php?id=554089925&ref=ts

would like 2 dedicate special thanx 2 these 2 great individuals who brought life back 2 me after i suffered a massive blow from a bad break this year....anyways more of me 2 come...

tune in...
