scandal

what is the hottest & juiciest scandal now?
none other than bad boy edison chen with cecilia cheung, bobo chan & gillian chung.
more info here.
i've seen the pics & i seriously think those are not doctored.
netizens did quite a bit of comparsions between the pics & edison's bedroom pics.
nop~~ not posting the pics as they might give u sore eyes..
those bushy pics are spawled all over the web, shouldn't be a problem to locate them.
this is probably the biggest HK sex scandal in 2008 as the parties involved are the very famous & young ones.
it is said that videos footage of their bedroom exercises might be released soon.
geez..
whatever it is, these ladies should have known of the risks they are exposing themselves to for taking such pics / videos.
things are so tainted now.
somebody has 'helped' them to open a huge can of worms & looks like more is to come.

27 dresses

i love all these dresses!
adore both the lead actor & actress <3
this is your usual movie of the lead hating the other and gradually they realised they are meant for each other.
however, this is more saccharin sweeter than usual with a good touch of sarcasm.
contradictory as it may seems but i like the even blend of sweetness with sarcasm.
not to mention both actor & actress look great together!
a great movie to chill out to without much brain cells to kill.

fav quotes:

Jane: I feel like I just found out that my favorite love song was written about a sandwich.

Kevin: What about you? You don't have any needs?
Jane: No. I'm Jesus.

Kevin: You'd rather focus on other people's Kodak moments than make one of your own!

Grandmother: Must be so hard to watch your younger sister get married before you.
Jane: Yes. Then I remember that I still get to have hot hate sex with random strangers and I feel SO much better!

his passing

oh my.. really stunned to learn of heath ledger's death.
i can still rem his wild hair in his 1st movie '10 things i hate about you'..
he is such a talented guy..
very upsetting..
i dont know why i feel this way..
probably because we of the same age..?
maybe because we have lost a brilliant actor?
my deepest condolences to his beloved ones..
rest in peace..

L movie

woot~~

L change the World

a toast to 2008

may all things take on a higher level.
may all be happy, healthy, loving, wealthy, sincere, faithful, true to your hearts.
may all bad feelings be gone for now & forever.

be true to your own heart.
dont hurt others along the way to your own success.

end of 2007

it has been an eventful year.
a year where i know who are the ones who stay by my side.
i'm sick & tired of hearing & seeing things that are so superficial.
they drown my heart and soul.
if you are not sincere & uncertain of what u want to say, dont say it.
why bother to give a passing remark when u don't even mean it?
it may mean nothing to you but it could be like a knife plunged into that person's heart..
stop it..

fatal fashion & food

we were busy shopping for xmas gifts last week.
well.. of course we tend to end up looking at gifts for ourselves.
my dear buddy ended up shopping at cK as there was a massive sales there.
while he was trying on his clothes, i went on to look at the ladies' section.
there was a shelf with at least 5 colored fur clothes, along with other cotton outfits with 50% discount.
i went on to touch a sky blue fur coat.
it was amazing soft..
in my mind i was thinking if it is made from real fur..
if it was, what type of fur..?
it is 100% RABBIT fur.
cK has just joined my BANS list.
CD and Burberry are another fatal fashion labels.
it is very cruel & disturbing watching how the animals are tortured & skinned ALIVE!
the clip here is not for the faint-hearted.
it will break your heart & make u cry. ;(
it will make u wonder why humans have to go to SUCH an extent for fashion.
glamorous?
bullocks!
thousands of animals are trapped in fur farms for such vanity.
they are badgered, poisoned and skinned alive.
they don't deserve to be treated this way..

i'm sure some of u might have received emails on the torture from KFC's Supplier of the Year.
here's vid about Kentucky Fried Cruelty here.
i'm keeping my distance from Mars too.
insanity!

i was shocked when i found out about Deadly Denny's.
used to work in this restaurant chain back in my younger days.
i'm glad it's no longer operating here.

i'm horrified by all these cruelty...

visit these sites for how to protect these defenseless animals
PETA TV, Caring Consumers, Fur Is Dead and Go Veg

please do our part to save them.

*clarence hugs ann*

TA

transactional analysis is one effective way on communicating with people.
red people especially.
reds are the ones who act or reply in hostile ways.
learnt how to handle these reds with blues.
i think it will really be great if everyone starts acting blue.
the motto is to be blue, stay blue.
quite interesting & i enjoyed every bit of it.

mr personality & miss chinatown

=P the nicknames given by the gang for the way we looked just now.
a very big thank you to all of our dearest family & friends who turned up to shower us with their blessings =D
it had been a very beautiful day!
the lovely day when i've turned from miss lai into mrs eng / mdm lai.
i think mrs eng sounds more enchanting right? lol~~
"My sis will be MRS ENG on Sunday 11th Nov... Blissful Everlasting LOVE" quoted from laura's msn <3
the food at meritus mandarin was yummy!
i adore the desserts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <333
about to tuck into bed as it had been a long day for both of us.
will post some pics soon =D

once again, a huge thank you to all who came & helped out in our solemnization.
your presence is greatly appreciated <333

*clarence bowing to all*

phone scams

my goodness..
it happened this morning before i was heading to work.
zax's mum picked up the phone at around 10.15am & the PCR lady informed her about some jewellery fair.
she was asked for her name, NRIC & age.
of course she didn't tell the PCR the truth as she remembered reading about phone scams from China.
shortly after she put down the phone, it rang again!
this time round, she was told to press 9.
another PCR lady asked her why she is calling The Supreme Court.
zax's mum asked her back why is she calling her.
the PCR told her that there could be a voice message left on the computer system & she can help her to retrieve it.
the PCR 'transferred' her call to another 'department'.
she was asked for her name & NRIC so as to check if there is indeed a voice message.
i overheard her revealing her information.
it immediately came to my mind that it could be a scam.
when i took over the phone & spoke to the PCR, the lady over the phone seems to be angry.

Me: 请问这是什么事?

PCR: 我是从高等法院打来的. 这个家庭的成员有个电话留言.

Me: 你能讲英文吗?

PCR: 可以..

Me: What is going on? You were saying you are calling from the Supreme Court.

PCR: Yes, there is a voice message for the family. I was telling your mother just now.

Me: I see. What is the message about?

PCR: I don't know. I checked the computer system and the voice message is not for your mother. Maybe I can check for you if it is for you.

Me: The Supreme Court will send a letter to my family if it was something important. Why would the court leave a voice message on the telephone?

PCR: I don't know. It is stated in the system that there is a voice message for the family.

Me: Then can you tell me when was the message left?

PCR: I don't know. It is not in the computer system. The IT manager told me to call your family to inform of this message.

Me: I don't think the govt will leave a voice message & use our NRIC & name to retreive the voice mail. A letter will be sent to our address.

PCR: It can be some important voice message for the family. If you didn't receive the letter, then don't blame us.

Me: It's ok. I'll wait. What is your name? I'll check with Supreme Court on this.

PCR: Chen Claudia.

Me: Thank you Claudia. Bye.

these people are so evil!
they are prying upon the older folks & their lack of knowledge & fear of the law.
this is totally absurd!
please warn your family members about this..
don't be a victim.

read the news article here & here.

crabby

yes.. that is how i'm feeling today.
in fact since yesterday afternoon.
it has nothing to do with my ROM preparation.
that has something to do with my work.
sometimes, i wonder if being responsible is a good thing.
yes, of course it is!
till some clients take it as something else & ask you out with other intentions.
intentions to buaya aka lothario.
how will you feel to be slapped with cheesy lines accompanied by leery looks?
i have to stay calm & composed though many a times i want to smack those rats!
where is the respect?
some people just don't respect sales persons.
they think that sales persons will DO anything to hit their sales quota.
FCUKING wake up your idea!
i put alot of pride into my work.
i know some people think that a financial adviser only has sales agenda for meeting up with friends.
that is only partially true.
meeting up for a cuppa or a meal to catch up also means showing concern.
is it wrong to show concern for friends?
is it wrong to ask if your friends are adequately protected?
it is not my job to force my friends to BUY plans.
my job is to ensure & educate my friends in getting the right protection.
many things in life are unpredictable.
some people are selfish & don't care about their family.
they believe that their family will not fall into financial difficulties if they were to leave this world or become disabled.
that is so so wrong & self-centred!
some families wiped out their entire life savings.
nobody will want to do this to their family.
insurance is something that you won't get when u needed it most.
when you finally think you want it, you realise you might not be able to get it.
it is really disappointing when friends started avoiding you when they know you are in the financial industry.
they shun you like you are plague.
is this necessary?
i can also understand why some behave this way.
they have met pushy advisers who hard sell.
为何要一竹竿打翻全船人?

another thing that is making me upset is Jay Chou's 2008 Tour.
i'm so busy that it totally slipped my mind to check on its sales date.
totally sold out....
i told myself that i will be attending this for sure.
no way i'm going to miss this concert.
it has been so long since he last came here for concert.
now i can kiss this show goodbye.
*sob*

sh*t.. fancy getting zits at this period.
damnit!
why everything seems to go wrong?

*screams very loudly*

stay calm

must tell myself to stay calm & blue.
some people are pi$$ing me off big time.
they ought to know what their status is & where they belong to.
stop using lame execuses to ask me out.
feeling very frustrated with these people.

last angel

<3
what more can i ask for when 2 of my favs collaborated?

Koda Kumi - Last Angel ft 東方神起

supernova

now i know who they are.
the latest boy group in s.korea.
initially i was puzzled by the sudden increase in my hits & went on to find out.
it does feel a little weird to have my blog with the same name as them.
considering i used to be such a k-fanatic.
these 6 boys resemble someone each.
one looks like lee junki & the other resembles kim jaejoong.
seems like they are quite talented, too.
hope these boys will make it big in the huge kpop industry.

Supernova - HIT 070930

o brien's

my 1st sandwich from this irish sandwich bar!
darling zax went to get this from me today <3
i mentioned 3 days ago that both of us have yet to try this brand's.
both of us are ardent fans of subway.
introducing the egg mayo with watercress!
(both of us adore egg mayo).


one look & it tells u 'i'm a healthy sandwich' =P


look at all the watercress!


all gobbled up in less than 3 mins!


overall review?
a little pricey.
very healthy.
neither oily or salty.
yummy for those who are health-conscious.
;)

whooping

been coughing since i last came back from BKK.
i was so sick that i didn't do much.
it went from a mild itch in my throat to full-blown cough & flu.
my head aches constantly with a dull pain.
i can't sleep well & i kept waking up to cough.
it felt as if i'm going to cough out my heart & lungs anytime.
my cough got so bad that i ended up puking my dinner yesterday. :(
i had already swallowed alot of lozenges & cough syrup.
seems like i'm on my way to recovery.. i'd better!!!
i reckon i had too much tom yum gung.
well... who can resist the tantalising lemongrassy soup?
not me, at least!
which leads to my downfall. haha!
can only blame myself to be so greedy! :x
we had alot of food during our stay there.
the local thai food, japanese food, steamboat, instant noodles & larvaes!
the guys bought a pack of fried larvaes at Sapanput.

these look so crunchy right?
well.. only the thin ones.
the fat bamboo larvaes gave a weird sensation when chewed on, according to the guys.
it was like an electric shock.
eeks! sounds bad enough!
other than food, we went for alot of head & body massages.
not costly at all.
it is great to relax after long shopping walks.
folks, u can consider to stay in Somerset Lake Point.
a lovely, spacious & clean service apartment!
excellent service from the staffs!
i'll rate it 4 stars!
oh.. forget to mention i saw this at Siam Centre.

a TVXQ promotion for their 2nd Asia Tour in BKK in dec 07.
talking about concerts, J called me & said that M is going to have his concert in KL this month.
seems like there is no promotion going on?
*shrug* not too sure either.
i dont have much time to check on these things as i've many other things on hand to handle now.
3 weeks more to go.. =D

angel

probably some of u will think why i bother to send this out.
i don't fancy the portion where it states how many replies or how many persons we are supposed to send to.
it is very meaningful & i want to thank each & every one of u for being my friend.
lots of hugs & kisses to all of u.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

I am sending this to you to see how many actually read their e-mail. Your response will be interesting. Pay attention to what you read. After you have finished reading it, you will know the reason it was sent to you.

Here goes: People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime. Send this to every friend that you have on-line, including the person who sent it to you. 0 Replies - you may need to work on your 'people skills'. 2 Replies - you are nice but probably need to be more outgoing. 4 Replies - you have picked your friends well! 6 Replies - you are downright popular. 8 Replies or More - you are totally awesome (and that's probably why you're on MY list) I wonder what mine will be. GUARDIAN ANGEL Forward this message the same day you received it . It may sound ridiculous, but it is right on time. We believe that something is about to happen. Angels exist, only sometimes they haven't got wings and we call them friends; you are one of them. Something wonderful is about to happen to you and your friends. Tomorrow at 11:04 somebody will address you and tell you something you have been waiting to hear. Please do not break it. Send it to at least 7 of your friends.
