did you hear about the one....

Twice I heard about this. Once from a colleague who mentioned that some Malay tabloid reported it & yesterday from the hubby who read it out aloud from The Star.

A certain pop princess got a RM40k LV limited edition bag from her beloved hubby. And being the tabloid they are, it was reported that it was wayyyy cheaper than her first gift from him a RM800k sports car, second year RM200k watch. I'm sure the reporter rubbed this fact in her face, to which she replied something like "It doesn't matter, as long as he loves me. I've always wanted a limited edition LV bag"....So being the kepoh I am, I found this. After you have 20 LVs in your collection, does another one really make that much of a difference? Oh yeah, I forgot it's limited...

Then again, do they find it absolutely necessary to report what she gets for her birthday every year? Any guesses what the value is gonna be at? My hubby causticly commented that she should be worried on the declining factor...

Sour grapes much?? Alah, apa susah, use the supplementary card (yes we have our own principal cards but its always good to keep a supplementary where HE has to pay) to buy whatever we want, then sweetly tell him "You bought me this..." which in truth, he did technically. He paid, you just picked it out.

Damn!! The Birkin won't cost as much would it?? Aiyah, cannot keluar Metro lah liddat.... Oh wait!! I ain't no pop princess. Sigh.....

tis the season...

2009 has gone. 2010 is here...

If you are thinking its a new year post & all the "Happy New Year, may it be filled with..." crap, stop reading now!!

If you know HR well enough, now is the time for bonuses & increments (subject that the Company is perfoming, same ole, same ole). Pretty soon, we'll be checking our payslips to see the winning numbers. Normally, duit keluar dulu then surat. Mana you nak dulu? Duit ke surat?

In unusual cases where the letters are the former rather than the latter, you expect to be given a letter only if it bears good news. But have you ever come across where you dapat zilch pun, they give you letter?

A dear friend told me of her company who does just that. Nothing better to do ah these people?

Dear Jane,

We are pleased (you damn sure the company is damn pleased) to inform that you have been given a bonus of RM0 & an annual increment of RM0. We trust that you are pleased with this. We thank you for your contribution & bla bla bla.

Yours sincerely,
Jack (Ass)

See, I don't even know how this bloody letter is supposed to sound? Enlighten me?

dum dum dum dee dum

I was told to create an expenses claim form based on 5 different formats by 5 different subsidiaries. So this form is supposed to capture all the information required by the 5 different groups. So I come up with this template & being the IT ignomarus that she is, I give her the hard copy lah...

"Eh, why your mileage section very sikit ah? Their mileage claims sometimes can be a lot"

"It's soft copy mah, they can add however many rows they want. Just don't disturb the formulae & the format lah"

"Then the form 'lari' how?"

"Realign the margins lah.."

"Oh liddat ah..."

Dumb-founded!!??

I receive an SMS from an agent with the details I need. A few minutes later, the secretary calls to confirm that I received the message. Yes, I did thank you.

Then I hear his voice in the background telling her what to say to me. Why bother when you can call & tell me yourself? Does the secretary relay the message to me? Well yes & no. Cos I heard him already so I guess she just didn't bother. So she just said thanks, bye.

the horse & the hunk

Caught Sherlock Holmes with the family last weekend. The daughter was a bit hesistant when we suggested to watch it but we bought the tickets anyways. She said something like someone told her it was boring or...

Me, wanting to watch the movie simply for obvious reasons dragged the hubby to get the tickets early Saturday morning.

Bloody brilliant, I tell you... Boring? Robert Downey Jr? Nevah!! RDJ, Jude Law, Rachel McAdams - the eye-candy didn't hurt. RDJ's buffed up bod & cocky arrogance? Oh yeah... JL's piercing blue eyes? Gorgeous... British caustic humor? Check. Enough action to keep the hubby smiling (it is after all a Guy Ritchie piece)

Watch it already if you haven't. .

Now which idiot said it was boring?? I'm gettting the DVD just for this.... well among other things.

may she rest in peace...

Got a message just a while ago about something tragic that happened at the place I stay. Seems a teenage girl fell to her death while trying to sneak out of the house. She was the same age as my daughter.

So I related the story to the daughter & told her never to try anything stupid like that. Her reply to me? "I'm not that retarded..." Well, I can rest, assured...

I got goose-bumps reading the message. I can't even begin to imagine the pain & hell her parents are going through. Well, I am praying for the dear girl's soul. May she rest in peace.

littlest things...

I got a very strange message or more like was told something that I find strange, this morning. See, I have a select few friends. When we meet of course the casual hugs & kisses is nothing out of the ordinary.

And I myself do the same hugs & kisses routine with some of my male friends, whom I have no feelings towards & them to me. I do this in public (well not in front of my MIL for she might give my hubby an earful) but the hubby himself is okay with it.

So anyways, back to what I was told. On a recent visit to a good friend's place we said our goodbyes with the girlfriend & me doing the norm hugs & kisses routine. My hubby who treated her nothing more than a younger sister did the same. They hugged, a quick peck on the check & said goodbye.. Well, it seemed harmless & I thought nothing of it although it took me by surprise (a wee bit) cos the hubby isn't the kind who does this to my friends especially. But I guess, I have known her for a number of years now & she's practically the younger adik we never had. So I shrugged it off...

So this morning, she calls me to tell me that she's been wanting to tell me something for a long time now but never found the guts to do so. Seems the little act of affection that my hubby displayed with her didn't go down to well with her other half. And to cut a long story short, she was told not to see me & him and god knows what other restrictions.

The hubby & I were at crossroads - do we go for the lunch tomorrow? Or do we stay away? Well, we were invited by the parents, not my girlfriend. But we don't want our presence there to cause animosity. We decided to 'buat bodoh' with the friend's other half & go for the do anyway just to 'bagi muka' kat the parents. Why must his parents-in-law or his son pay for his sins right?

Anyhoos...I don't know. Is it wrong for a harmless hug & a quick peck on the cheek? Is my hubby that intimidating? Why is he so insecure? It's not like my hubby went around behind my back, did the nasty or something like that. I was there... And I know for sure there were no ill intents. Really now????
