L'Oreal Great Deals 26 April 08

Recently , there are lots of warehouse sales going on. Name a few ,such as Fila warehouse sales , LOreal warehouse sales ,metrojaya warehouse sales and many more small sales which didn't catch my attention.One thing all of such warehouse sales has is the crowded environment . You can imagine what will happen when the place is crowded.

Lets talk about yesterday's event, I went to Parkroyal Hotel from the L'oreal Warehouse sales at around 9.20 a.m(Operating hours is from 10 am to 8.30 p.m.). To my surprise , I saw a lot of ladies there but there were some mens . I don't mind queing up with all the ladies because we all were also buying the products to pamper ourselves which we deserve,there is nothing wrong with that.I still remember when i was at the same location where the ballroom had its GAP and Esprit warehouse sales. I nearly stand till the end of the entrance but after 5 minutes the lines were more terrible .Luckily , I was early but i regret not to come earlier. But never mind , I was not bad in this position of the lines.

Suddenly , the security guard shouted us to stand at the left hand side of the lines where the centre lines were the initial .Everybody was jottling to get to the lines faster . I was among the few first to get there because i ran. Until the clock strock 9.45 am , the guards called the crowd to form another few lines on the right hand side of the centre lines . The crowd which was on the left hand side moved swiftly to the right ,pushed the people on the centre lines to the right . After the announcement made by the guards ,some of them were not satisfied because they knew that the right lanes will be going in later after the centre lines first . The ladies and aunties were shouted here and there and the nice show just begin..
'Those who jump the queue know who they are , you should be embarrased about your attitude '
' We have been here for the past 1 hour and there guys were trying to .....'
' I thought this place is for well-mannered people but still those people who are uneducated also here ...'
Bla Bla Bla

Beautiful chicks were around the crowd, most of them were scantily dressed ,Oh come on girls, leave those outfits at home . We were here to grab things not fashion show. After around 10.10 a.m. I was into the ballroom , the room was smaller than the GAP sales . I grabed some perfumes for my aunties ,R.Lauren Ralph Rocks gift set and Miracle So magic.For me , I bought Biotherm Homme range products. Some Lancome makeup items for my sister and others .

The Shu Uemura counter was crowded until the person-in-charge shouted to them to stop pushing the tables. Few times they stopped selling the products because of the mess.
In the perfume and cologne sections , most of the famous brands such as Armani Code had finished .

I went to pay my items then 'chao' .
As i went out of the crowd,leaving crazy aunties and ladies behind ,the lines were more organised and they put the crowds into sections by sections. But everyone was looking at me and some people who had just came out. You won't believe it. The lines were up until Lot 10 from the parkroyal hotel.The people were crazy including me la. HaHa.

All in all quite a rewarding experience .

Fashion Disease

Nowadays many models in the real world protray pictures of ideal body figures. But as a person logically we will be thinking of having such body shapes with the curvatures and etc. Somehow we try to be one of them . Although some models may have an ideal body but other designers' clothing claded models are way to skinny . In the case of male models , skinny don't suit the context but with the right proportion of body and adequate amount of muscle ,therefore you have the potential of becoming one of the models. Surely , few criterias mentioned above are not enough to be a model.

Here is one article which i have read over on a website:

“Giorgio Armani, the world’s most famous designer, on Thursday blamed stylists and the media for the fashion industry’s obsession with ultra-thin women. In London to host a music and fashion extravaganza with stars Beyonce, 50 Cent and Bono, Armani said no girl needed to be anorexic in order to be fashionable.

“I have never wanted to use girls that are too skinny. I prefer girls that show off my clothes in the best way,” Armani told Reuters Television. “Unfortunately though, the stylists and also the media have interfered and they now want models that are incredibly thin.”

A debate about models’ weight has shaken the fashion world in recent days since Madrid banned excessively thin women from its catwalks after accusations their appearance may cause eating disorders in young women. Armani, whose client list spans Hollywood to high finance, is a bellwether for the industry and the most powerful fashion insider yet to speak out on the weight debate.

“No one thinks that for a girl to be fashionable she needs to be anorexic, that she must not eat. I will only take on healthy girls,” he said.

Armani made the comments on the red carpet of one of the most anticipated events of the fashion calendar and the hottest ticket of this week’s London Fashion Week.”



I was wondering, the accusation among stylists , designers and media have took place.Although there is no evident regulations stated that skinny girls can't enter this industry , I think anorexic figures doesn't look cool and it is not the way it works.

WoW factors

It has been a while we didn't have our exam results . On Wednesday (3rd of April) we were called to the office after our workshop session. We were surprised with the news . Last week , we heard one of our instructors said that our results will be released but only this week our results will be released. We were very anxious about our results . Not only that , the fears of failure engulfed our thinking . After my turn to take the result slip ,I took it and straight away went out of the room . Towards the staircase , I opened the stapled slip and I can't believe my eyes . My results were better than i have expected . No failure and all exam results are 90 and above ,except for module 7 ,I managed to secure 85 for that .

Overall,I am very satisfied with my results . With so many years of losing touch in my physics , I still manage to score . What a relief. I hope the coming exams i will break my own record again.

Eggs throwing

Since last week , a rollercoaster ride hasn't immobilize yet. But as what I have expected, it has not going any better. I wasn't very happy for the fact that I did such an irresponsible action which leads to the suffering of others. But no body will understand my action, at least listen to my explanation before any prejudgments take place.

After my birthday which fell on 18th of March , I let myself cool down on what I had reacted on the previous day. I still can't believe that they( classmates) are still planning to throw eggs at me as a continuation of yesterday's brutal action. I was planning to avoid their curse by changing my parking to the other side . By doing that I did not inform anyone except Bskrn. Therefore nobody other than him knows about that , I don't want the news to spread. As a result , I am not risking myself again for the eggs throwing.

I admit that I am being selfish but there is the only way to make such decision in a hurry manner, I don't have a choice. I don't like the fact that being 'played' by classmates . Although you may say that they are playing with you and no harm will be caused. That is incorrect from my point of view, the eggs throwing will make me discomfort and uneasy . Not only that, the undesirable stench and dirty stains on my clothes will drive me crazy. I was thinking of bearing the consequences which I don't like, just to fulfill everybody's 'dream' but do you know that I have suffered enough and always have to keep silent behind the curtain.

I tried to stand in the same shoes like my ex-car pool counterpart , I realized that if I was at his position I will definitely get mad and I don't blamed anyone of making him to take them home first instead of going back home. Like me , I became hysteria when I was running from them and kept on looking behind if anyone was chasing after me. I didn't take their phone calls because I am afraid they will locate my position and provide information to the eggs throwers to have the chance to throw.

I will hope everybody has an equal chance to be forgave , I will improve on my emotion management and hopefully won't cause any troubles to anyone. I sincerely admit my wrong undertaking .

Frustration over Exam!!

Last week was our Module 10 exam on Air Legislation, we sat for our multiple choice exam at first then followed by the essay writing section exam.

This exam was different with the others because of its exam nature and the subject is more towards memorizing the law and regulation of aviation which i dislike. Not only that , the insignificant numbers seems not important but it paid your efforts off if you memorized . Nothing seems easy with this subject. On the other hand , this module brightens up my mind towards the law and regulations of the aviation world.

Sorry for that long introduction , after we finished our essay exam and wanted to call it a day. The chief examiner , ms Martini announced to us that our MCQ exam was scraped . To our surprised , she explained that someone in our class had gotten the answer sheet with answers . And someone copied it down before the exam starts . I was thinking about the last page of answer sheet in our examiner's hand before the start of the exam, my guess was right !-that piece of paper was the model answer sheet with the correct answers bolded in black.

Our hatred towards the irresponsible examiner and the chief examiner who gave the model answers sheet to a student . That was totally unprofessional and unethical to confess their 'blind' errors and we get the ultimate consequences of retaking the exam next week .

As an insider , the head of management had its name tarnished and everybody knows that including outsiders .Some of our lecturers left METC for good and landed in a well-paid institution eg: Transmile and Nilai College.Our training centre has becoming an empty nest for the lone who deserved to be alone.

DR Syndrome

It has been a while that i didn't make a single entry in my blog. I felt that my life now has becoming better in terms of quality , but i suffer from a 'distant relationship syndrome ' , this syndrome is waiting to strike any minute if the setting is right.

I come to realize this syndrome which hidden in my mind for quite sometime. Everytime i leave my family or my family leaves me , i will feel the emptiness and loneliness . The strange feeling of quietness and 'dead' air in my living room makes me confuse. When i was concentrating on something , the feeling was kicked aside. But when i looked at the living room again , the figureless hall makes my heart aches . The voice and laughter was gone .

Sometimes i feel like going into my blur state which i did before. I used this to cope with my intolerance with the quality state of living. Now it was totally different subject of comparison.

I would like to visit my parents whenever possible but of the time constraint I 'm afraid not. The 'distant relationship syndrome' catches me whenever i leave them .

Review of 2007

After I went thorough all the thick and thin in 2007, I ended my 2007 with a splendid ending . At the beginning of 2007 , I still in Sabah studying my Food Science and Nutrition ,i celebrated my 21st birthday with unpleasant feeling ,climbed the Mount Kinabalu at the age of 21. Enjoying the mother nature in 'foreign' land and met lots of friends from all around Malaysia . I never been in this position before , whereby I gained a lot of knowledge,experience and in the mean time enjoying myself in Sabah. At middle of 2007, I got a fresh start for entering a new field . At the end of 2007 , I managed to treat myself with an oversea trip.

I still remember one routine which i always do , every week I will go to the School of Engineering and Computer Science (SKTM)'s lobby where there is a water dispenser to fill up an empty 5L water from it. Not because of in my hostel there is no water supply but it is due to the water in my hostel has chlorine smell. I don't like the smell ,so the solution is to carry the empty bottle from my hostel to university and bring back home with a filled bottle. I trained myself to walk for 10 minutes to the SKTM from library and vice versa . I used only one hand to carry the big bottle and changed to the other hand when i felt tired . Ipod has accompanied me through the journey wherever i went.
Now I no longer have to take water from school's water dispenser since i have quite Sabah and come here , i boiled my filtered water before i drink. My life has becoming easier and hassle-free . I felt very lucky to be where i am now compared to me in the beginning of 2007 in terms of quality of life.The quality life has here is much more better than in Sabah.

The hardship of getting internet connection in library and SKTM made my head spin , the authority of library and SKTM have changed the connection system to a complicated password locked system . Every students has to send their computer for checking and setting up password in their computer . After all has been done, I faced another problem which is the connection of internet is slow . The waiting time for a web page to load took about 5 minutes . I can wait no more so my friend , Jordan has found a special connection in SKTM using LAN . Therefore i went in one of the classrooms to surf the net , i can't believe the speed was extremely fast.Jordan had left his laptop over night to download his favorite anime and the next day his laptop was gone . I pitied him for the lost of his laptop . Later he bought a new one ,at least now he learnt a lesson not to leave his belonging unattended. Using my latest experience (after i went to Japan, i found out that the people there are very honest and kind-hearted , so even my friend left his wallet in his parked bicycle ,his wallet is still there even though he left there for half an hour. So different places have different level of mentality . Therefore self-awareness is very important to ensure your survival in Malaysia.

Soon ,we reached our final exam of 2007. I still remember in one of my exams which is TITAS ( history about the integration of malaysia society) we (my secondary school friends ) sat together and we discussed our exam objective questions by letting others look at our answer sheets. I felt the thrill and I have never encounter such an experience before. Finally , i managed to got a B+ for the subject. I have one paper which i had confident to score A but in the end i ended up with a A- . I wrote the thesis for the lecturer for the first time , he liked my essay very much and complimented me for writing such a good thesis. I felt very happy. Maybe because my exam ,i did badly so it effected my marks.
Later in 2007 , my exam system changed to be graded in such a way of PASSED or FAILED . I couldn't adapt at first but now i am used to it. And no more cheating in exam because now the examination rooms have surveillance cameras to monitor the exam .

At the beginning of the year after Chinese New Year ,my grandfather passed away .Even now i felt regret for not having to send him off for the last time , I blamed my maths exam of UMS (University Malaysia Sabah) . I thanked my grandfather for inspiration he gave to me . Even though , he lose the battle with the disease but the spirit of keep fighting is there .I obtained my lifetime achievements because of him : 1st in singing competition in Chap Goh Meh celebration and received this honorable scholarship from MAS .

I ended 2006 with... I couldn't think of anything interesting to mention. But one thing i still remember is my whole family and i went to Sydney ,Australia for a holiday . I have seen a lot of interesting places . And I admitted that the whole planning was a failure because I planned the whole journey from the start till the end with a tight schedule . We often argue in deciding where to do . I never felt the same way when i travelled alone to Osaka,Japan . The harmony of family togetherness is incomparable with you traveling alone or with friends . I always feel that traveling alone will be fun. But then it is fun for certain time and it is torturing then you are alone. A lot of responsible you have to bear , for instance passport and boarding pass have to keep safely at all times . This small things add up ,at the end you have to write down in To-Do-List. The ultimate goal is to train and guide us to become a more responsible and aware to the environment. Both of my trips have one thing in common , which is the feeling of presence exist when you are standing in front of a magnificent building or structure ,the feeling is one of its kind and hard to explain. The feeling is short lived because you can't live there for a lifetime , at least a camcorder would help to preserve the feeling .

In conclusion, from an undesired experience in a medical centre to the proudest moment of my life I take it with open arms . I think of the good and the bad experiences left me trained me to be a better person in the future. I hope that in 2008, i will learn in the easy way and not the hard way.
