The Day Flew By

Woke up today around 8.30am.
Took my shower and then went online and watch tv for abit.

Headed out to meet my friend to go get a haircut at ss2. she arrived around 10.45 albeit 15 min late...

See i have this flaw where by i can't speak canto. I can understand the basic stuff but i sure can't get myself to speak it. I noticed that people then to shun away when they know i can't speak. They feel weird speaking to a chinese in english. SCREW THEM.

anyways... i told the guy to JUST TRIM TRIM LEH. But he kept snipping snipping at the end.. it looked like i had a cut!!! Anyways... its ok lah. But its RM36 leh.. compared to my normal RM13 HAHAHAHAA.

After this hair cut I decided to keep my hair long. The last time I had long hair was when i was in University. Well it was cold there. But by the time i graduated, my hair was no longer long :P Stress really propel me to cut my hair after each final exam.. hahahaha. I had a friend in uni who told me at the rate I am going , i will be bald .. hahahhaa.

After the haircut, we decided to eat at Swensen. I haven't stpped into swesen for a long long time. EWWW the food is not good lah!!!!!! maybe its the branch i dunno. But waste of my money.....

At 2pm, I wnt for facial. it took 2 hours and at 4pm i am home. so tired. and there goes my Day off.

Shoes and handbags to cost more
Vasugi Supramanian
PETALING JAYA (April 16, 2007): Consumers will now have to pay more for high-fashion shoes and leather-related goods such as handbags following a decision by the Malaysian Footwear Manufacturers Association (MFMA) to increase prices by at least 10%.

The move, which has already been initiated by some of the 476 MFMA members, is a result of the 5% to 30% increase in the cost of raw materials such as plastic and leather.

"Despite the increase in prices of shoe components like heels, outsoles, soling sheets and adhesives, we have not passed on the extra cost to our consumers. But, we are not able to absorb the recent sharp increase in the price of raw materials anymore," MFMA president Lisa Fong Lai Heong said at a press conference today.

She said leather prices have gone up as much as 30% since the year began, and may be on the uptrend for the next six months.

The cost of leather makes up about 60% of the total production costs for leather shoe producers, Fong said.

Currently, 80% of MFMA's raw materials are imported from India, America and Brazil. Up to 80% of its finished product of women's footwear is sold locally while the rest are exported mainly to Europe.

The increase in footwear price will eventually be adopted by all MFMA members. However, even with the increase, Malaysian footwear will still be among the cheapest within Asean.

Fong said the price of locally-produced footwear has long been relatively stable for the past few years compared with other products which have seen price adjustments due to inflation.

She added that the recent price increase in raw materials was due to East Asia's robust economy and overwhelming demand for furniture and motor vehicle upholstery.

She noted that the situation is expected to worsen in the coming summer as less buffalos and cows will be slaughtered during the season of low meat consumption.

CIAO

A Conversation

Yesterday for dinner, we had chili crabs. Fried dry with loads of dry prawns as the condiments. This one buy one lah.

Anyways, as i was seating down eating I had this conversation with mom. This all arised from an email from someone i know who is coming back from AU for a holiday. An ex-col whom i hardly heard from since she moved to AU about 5 years ago.

Don't you think its kind weird for people to write email with contents such as I have a big favour to ask you. Shall tell you more when i meet you. What kind of crap is that.

I am not very comfortable these days when ppl call or email me with such statements. I just went thru a bad expereince of a good old friend who said that to me but didn't want me to know more about the situation but just wanting That specific favour from me. I declined coz i didn't know the full story and from the looks of it, i might be putting myself in danger.

I asked my mom, how come God always put me in such situation. people only think of me when they are in trouble. how about me? Dont' I need friends when I am in trouble. But when i reach out , no one extents their hands. I wonder why.

I told my mom that sometimes I just want to give up on my faith. Coz i no longer understand God. And I wonder after so many years, whether its worthwhile anymore to go throught all these....

My mom said to me, if you think you're better off sitting at home and not attending mass anymore, then you try it. hmmmm.... no scolding nothing. Just that one phrase.

Yes, currently my situation at work and life isn't looking up very well. Doubts seems to be abundant. Also I have decided to leave the ministry that I have gone back to serve. Its back to square one but I am sure I will find another ministry which is less political....

When Shit Hits the Fence

That phrase was used by my ex manager last time. He sucked as a manager. But anyways.. that was the one time he actually stood up for me.

He told that to someone... and then repeated that to me. Saying that these ppl dunno when shit hits the fence, it comes back and splatter on you. KEKEKE so true hor!!!!!

ANyways.. i was thinking about that phrase today. The shit has indeed hit the fence and its hitting me.... in bullet drops... No wonder i smell something :P

Life has beenn darn tough I tell you.
One project the proj manager is like a stalker and the other - doesn't give a shit, expect me to do his job. For Goodness Sakes, you're the PM...... Not my job to run around fine you resource.

So its been darn tiring.

But i wanted to say this.. the hotel i stayed in when i was in SG was damn nice hehehe. Like sua ku lah when i was there. Wanted to take pictures but the second nite, i had to work late so when i got back was totally depressed coz i had hit some problem so didn't feel like taking pictures. But I had some from the day before, will post it up once I find my camera cable.

This month - will it be good.. doubt it. i turn 3* this month.. :(

Putting on the Thinking Cap

If you have been reading this blog for awhile now, you wld know that I really want to get out of my current field or at least the pure tech side.

Not that I haven't tried. Couple of years back when I decided I wanted to leave the old co, I applied for some business analyst job thinking to get into the business side of things. They did call me in for the int, but told me its for a dba position. bleaaah. Due to desperation to leave anyways, I took the offer. But that didn't last long.

Hmmm.. I have toying with the idea of getting another BS or BA in psychology. But thinking about studying for a few at Bachelor's level, I am not sure whether its worth it. Still toying with the idea.

Below are few of the things that I have been brain storming

1) Psychology? - can i do masters instead of a bachelors??? since i do already have a degree from the US of A?

2) Executive/prof diploma in Counselling - or is this a bad idea, since I am the one who needs counselling or maybe i will learn a trick or two and manage myself well??

3) Learn up some IT process thingy and get certification - stay in the same field but move to non-tech side?

Any other other options ah???

MBA too bloodee expensive lah. I need a scholarship.. if i were to do one. Maybe i should sit for GMAT or something......

P/S okok i will respond to comments lah next time, so don't be dishearten that I didn't reply the comments loh. Kena reprimanded by someone hehehee.
