Purpose in Life...

I went to this talk last Saturday, talking about career in financial planning. Wasn't planning on doing it, just that, what the heck, my insurance friend asked me to go just listen. Ok la.. since I'm free that day.
Anyway, the guy blah blah blah.. (or yak yak yak, as my colleague would say.. hehehe). I was yawning all the way through (oh! how rude of me). Then there's one part at the end, where the slides came out with bold letters "Purpose in Life...". He asked around, what's your purpose in life? Then one of the listener said, to survive in this world. The speaker said no.. then he said his purpose in life was to live comfortably, don't want a house, but a big house, don't want a car that takes you around, but a "luxurious" car (I was like.. huh?? be grateful dude..), taking family out for overseas holiday at least once a year.. you know, the kind of talk that psycho the listener, what a huge amount of money can bring you. What a materialist!
I never liked this kind of talk. Yeah, you're successful, and a millionaire, so what. I never heard one speaker said something about how grateful he/she was, the learning experience through it all, I've never seen one that is modest and unpretentious. Arrogance and self-confidence are two different things, I can differentiate that, but all I see was the former.
Anyway, I was looking at that phrase, and thinking, what's my purpose in life? I can't think of anything. The only thing I know is that I want to live as happily as I can. Doesn't sound ambitious huh? But what's the point in doing and achieving everything, but unhappy? I'm not satisfied with this outcome. Happiness makes you glow from the inside out, you feel content with everything. Yeah, I have my goals and objectives, and I try my best to achieve it, but if in the end it doesn't come out the way I wanted, I'm happy as long as I know I've tried my very best. There's nothing wrong with it. No point in thinking of the failure in the past, when you can do better now for the future. Right?

In short, my purpose in life is....
Eat, and drink and be merry till the end of my miserable life.. hahahaha....

Driver for a day..

Today I've become a full time driver, literally, for my 7 years old nephew (Tan Sri, since his surname is Tan. hahaha). Pick him up to school (afternoon class), so I go back for a quick lunch, and off we go. Later on after work (5:30pm) I'm going to fetch him back from school (6:10pm). I'm considered a back-up driver, in case their parents unable to fetch him, usually after school in the evening.
My "Tan Sri" usually go to school by van from his little brother's kindy school. Since the kindy closed today, no van. Who to call? Super Aunt.. the driver... hahaha... I don't mind at all, since I'm quite free..
The problem is, hai.. the school.. packed with cars.. and more cars.. from all the parents fetching their kids. Furthermore, the school is location near housing and market area, so the road is not wide (with all the cars parked at the side of the road). So, I usually parked further up from school and walk to him. And I don't like his school bag. Ruined my car seat. >:( and so bulky with the trolley. I pitied him, when he rolled his bag to school today. He looked like pulling a truckload of stuff. I think a bagpack is much easier, at least both hands are free, moreover able to hold my hand when walking. Let me talk to his mom...

Later tonight, I'm making croissant sandwich for my nephews, since 2nd Tan Sri aka, his brother missed out on the croissant I brought back yesterday. Need to make up for him. He's such a cry baby... okay.. I need to make a list of ingredients... ciao..

So Hot.. Red Face..

Today's weather is so bloody hot. Urgh.. I'm having a sunburn right now, even though I've put on sunblock. My face is so sensitve and dry, it's starting to be patchy now. Sigh... I've noticed one thing about my face. It's very particular when comes to sunblock. If I sweat, definitely the sweat will mix with the sunblock. I think there's a chemical reaction or something, coz the next day, it becomes itchy, rough and reddish. Like a lobster. Hideous. Not the lobster, mind you, it's my face. I've a nickname when my face becomes reddish. The name's Lobster... Miss Lobster. Hahahaha.... How cool is that.


I've tried Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF50 PA+++. It stated suitable for sensitive skin, so I bought it. Used is for several days, then one fine day, I was out in the sun for quite some time, pop out came Miss Lobster. Too bad... coz the reviews for this in http://www.makeupalley.com/ is not bad. Alas, it does not suit me. But I have no problems with Sunplay though. I use Sunplay Skin Aqua UV Moisture Gel SPF25 PA++. Sweat or no, it does not cause any problems for my skin. But I used it on my body now, coz I use Envyderm sunblock from Blunnis. It's a tinted sunblock. I need to be careful with this one as well, does not like my sweat that much. hahaha... And then there's also Etude House Moistfull Make-up Base SPF22 PA++ (Green color). This is good. No problem so far.


As you can see, I don't use foundation. I usually put on sunblock and make-up base in green, to counter the redness I have. If the make-up base have sunblock in it, then after wash and moisturiser, it's the make-up base. That's it. Putting on foundation makes my skin suffocate, it's a no-no for me. Let it breathe... you'll look younger in the long run as well.. ;)

Maybe I should write a review on skincare and make-up I've use...

Guy's Attentiveness

I was just wondering, why does guys (don't mean all of them), doesn't pay attention to what the girls are talking? I mean, when the guy talk, I listen, but when I talk, he's in some wonderland or something. It happen to me twice, different guy. I was talking about this, suddenly he talk about other stuff, left me dumbfounded. I ask a question, "Is the food good?" he talk about other stuff. Is he deaf?? No, not really. Did I whisper? No, didn't shout, but loud and clear I would say. So, what's going on here? I wanted to ask them, but doesn't feel quite right. Also, when I talk half-way, it was cut off by them, with another topic. I'm a bit frustrated you know.

Nonetheless, there are guys who're very attentive to conversation. It's more enjoyable talking to people who really listen, not just "pretending to listen", if you know what I mean. These people do exist. Hahaha..
Ok. Need to work now. Got to finish by noon. Ciao..

80% Awake... Still Mumbling...

Okie.. gulped my last mouthful of coffee. It's Alicafe 3in1. Hahaha.. The taste is a bit bland for me, maybe i put in too much water. The taste is ok, but can't beat Nescafe though. Since I'm talking about coffee, I missed Gloria Jeans. I kinda like their coffee, it's been years since I have from them. The last time I think was 4 or 5 years back.. My god!! That long?? Sheesh.. I should go pay them a visit then. Any one care to accompany me? :( I'll call my friend Min then, she's working in Gurney Plaza, so, it's convenient for her. If you walk along Gurney Plaza (New Wing), and saw a kiosk selling belly dancing costume, and wall sticker, well, that's her. She went to belly dance class before (that's how we met), but stopped few months back, due to her own business. I've stopped as well, after 1 month in advance, but it's temporary. Let's called it a postponement. I'll continue again maybe somewhere next year, in a new advance class. I practice almost every day, so by the time I continue my advance class, I think I can pick it up, right? I hope so... :D I'm off to game land..so I can stay awake.. hahaha...

First post.. sleep mode.. zzzz...

Ok.. my first post. As of this moment.. I'm quite sleepy. hahaha.. probably 70% wakefulness. Already had my coffee (Nescafe 3in1, rich) in the morning. Still, after lunch, started to go downhill again. So.. I'll have my 2nd cup in a moment. Can't have coffee after 4pm, or else i'll be a goldfish at night. Need to sleep early again today. Yesterday even worst, I feel so drowsy. The reason? Well, I've not been out in the sun for quite some time, and on Sunday, I went sight-seeing with my friend around Penang, like a tourist. (Ashamed.. as a Penangite, I don't know how rich our culture is). P/S: Can't blame my friend, he's from Kulim. So.. anyway, we went to Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion aka Blue Mansion, Rumah Peranakan & Spice Garden. At the end of the day, my whole body ache.. hai.. Should I blame the heat or my weak body? My weak body then, since I wasn't feeling well the day before.
I think I'm mumbling too much.. time for my coffee...
