How??

i'm with...

Mr. Blur puts through a phone call for me and this conversation ensues... (for the uninitiated, Dato' Sri is a title/honor bestowed by the royal family to some prominent individuals in the country, akin to the title Lord or Sir)

Him: PJ, Syerin from Dato' Sri on the line for you...
Me: Who's Syerin? Which Dato' Sri?
Him: I don't know, maybe Dato' Sri Koh (he's one of the directors of the company)
Me: (confused cos Dato' Sri Koh's PA is a guy named Peter) Err, okay...

After taking the call, I realise that Syerin is the PA to another Dato' Sri in a another company. So I approach Mr. Blur and this follows:

Me: You do know that there are more than 1 Dato' Sri in Malaysia right? Not every Dato' Sri who call is Dato' Sri Koh...
Him: Oh I thought when she said Dato' Sri, it was Dato Sri Koh cos he's the only Dato' Sri we always encounter....


Duh!!??

Fun & Useless Facts #1

For the heck of it, I am now answering questions via an SMS quiz with the help of the internet of course. Don't know who is right though...and I came across a site with fun (and useless??) facts.. One interesting one though...

'A domestic cat can frighten a black bear to climb a tree'

Tch!! They haven't seen MY domestic cat yet... tell me you think this one can scare a black bear up a tree??!!



House lizard also is questionable already (previous post remember??)

we are different but same-same

I consider myself to be truly lucky to be a Malaysian. We live in a country that has a diverse ethnicity. And with that comes the different languages, cultures, beliefs, food (the most important of the lot!!)...

Came across this ad in Facebook & Youtube. Quite funny...






Hmmmm, sambal udang petai!! Yummmmmmm

of happiness & success

Someone dear to me once said "Success is not how much money you have but how happy & contented you are with your life"...

I may be wrong if I did not quote her word for word but it was something to that effect. And I like this quote.

Yes, you may say we need money. I am not denying that we don't. We do, for the necessities. But in life, sad as it may seem - money is never enough. We are always wanting to add that one extra zero to the amount we earn. And soon enough, we become slaves to it. I know many a people who earn quite a handsome living but are constantly worrying about making more moolah.

The hubby & I went through that phase once. We weren't filthy rich but comfortable enough. But sadly, we weren't that happy. To cut a long story short - like they say 'easy come easy go'. We lost some if not all in some not so wise investments & then some.

We stuck through thick & thin. And realised that in life, is not always about the money. There are more important things than that. Many a times too, I have sacrificed my job for my family. And my bosses always are taken by surprise when I turn down the offer & simply tell them "It's not about the money. It's my family that matters."

Now, we have enough - enough to buy what we like, to make do with what we have, to live within our means, enough to be happy. We have family who mean the world to us, we have friends who matter to us. What more can I possibly want??

If that is how success is measured, yes then I have succeeded!!

stars of the...

She IMs me to request for the company logo. They want to do a draft of the invitation card, she says. So I ask her if it was a good idea to put all the logos in the card (since they are are almost the same save for the name of the company at the bottom).

So I ask her what's the theme & tell her the card must complement the theme. She says 'Stars of the Night'. I ask her if it meant movie stars.

She says 'Ya you can come as Audrey Hupburn or Moonroe'

Who??

loud!!

I changed the outlook of the blog, AGAIN. Cos someone complained that it's loud, gory & almost made her go blind. So there.

Hope it's better now....
