tOm@kO's life ~*_*~

My friend and I was discussing about her parents letting her to go out during night time with friends for "yam cha" session.

Sometimes I feel that maybe yes we already grow up, but the worries from our parents does not go away that easily. I think is not that they do not trust us enough to give us freedom. It's just that the safety in Malaysia is so bad that it alarmed the concerned of parents, even though their kids is old enough to have their own KEY.

I guess nobody would want themselves to turn up to be one of the news in the papers one day. As such I guess we need to sacrifice a bit by not going out for "yam cha" session during night time.

However, on the other hand, it still voice down to the negotiation skills that whether we are able to convince our parents to allow us to go out at night. My hubby gave me a very good point / action plan that what should be done that I did not do well previously.

1. Tell them where you exactly going and what is the expected time that you are coming back. Try not to be too late if your parents is waiting at the living hall for you to be back
2. Let them know the phone number of friends that are "yam cha"-ing with you and try your best to bring them to your house so that your parents would know who are those people that you are going out with.
3. Let your parents get used to you going out late by going according to their conditions.

One of the motivation to enjoy the our holiday this month is salary is received half a month in advance compared to previous months due to the festive season.

But on the other hand the disadvantage is you might tend to spend excessively with all the extra cashflow in the bank account.

Well for me, i will spend my money on books and cds
yeah here come the book fest in town during the festive season and public holiday as well as school holidays :)

So happened it was movie night last night and we loved to watched movie Tropicana City Mall. But it's only disadvantage is often we struggle to think what to eat at when we wanted to have a movie there.

but worry no more Secret Recipe came to the rescue when it wanted to go beyond veggie.

food was quite attractive. Will do a review in the next post.
but was glad that there is a good place to settle down for food in TCM :)

Tanya's Song - Friends


All the sadness in the air
How did we get to this?
Why did we end this way?
All the things we used to share
You said put them all away
Close my eyes they're still there yeah
Still trying to understand
Trying the best I can
To start over again oh

Chorus:
If who I am brings you not joy but tears babe
I cannot bear to see you fighting with this pain
So I wish you all the best
If we can't be lovers
Maybe we can still be friends

Though we never really knew
Why did our worlds collide
There were no reasons why
When we're meant to say goodbye
You were never really mine
You were just a state of mind
Still trying to understand
Trying the best I can
To start over again oh

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
liked this song very much. No idea why.
but it's suitable for loves who doesn't managed to make it to the next journey?

The theme of this olympic 2012 @ London is Inspire a generation,
i wonder whether this olympic does it managed to inspire the young generation to start practice and prepared  to be the next national player who is as good as Dato Lee Chong Wei or Pandelela Rinong?

but before reaching the stage to be as good as Dato Lee Chong Wei or Pandelela Rinong
they need to go trough a lot of practice
a lot of pain
a lot of defeat

learn for failure
but I wonder whether instead of being inspired
Maybe they will be defeated by the hardship that they need to go through before become sucessful.

it would be very sad case if you got to knows the news of your parents / kid through a third party / outsider or even facebook.

what is happening now?
the world is changing...

what can we do to restore it back to its original stage?

What would be the main criteria for a employee to be shortlisted.
Good greds, good academic results, good co-co activities?

With a lot of people getting good greds nowadays,
i guess the best way that you can out perform others
you should potrait yourself as a person who is willing to stay and fight for the company for a number of years

if you potrait that you might not be possible to stay for long
possibility is you stand a lower chance to get hired.

we decided to have a BBQ party at our condo again...

so it's time to get yourself BBQ or BBQ something which sound so fund :P

yeah... i'm coming back-ing (doesn't sound so right in terms of grammar)

but it is true and will be doing some renovation to the blog bah :P

hopefully i can destress and do everything well again.

Trevor, hubby and myself were at 1u on Wed to practice the lifestyle of a cheap Malaysian.
As mentioned in my earlier post,that day have various promotion such as free ice cream, mango drink and etc as well as other buy one free one promotion.
From the interesting photo I took that day I edited some interesting photo with my line camera.
Enjoy people ^_^

In conjunction with dato LCW win of his second Olympic sprit, BR gave away free ice cream to celebrate his victory.

People line up as early as before 7.30pm. I was discussing with my friend that Malaysian have a habit to be casually late, but not when there's a queue for freebies and many will flock to the place with freebies.

I guessed it was a successful advertising tactics by BR. Applause for them regardless how much cost that they incurred to give away the free ice cream but definitely with all the publicity on facebook, twitter and etc ...definitely won some valuable free advertisement and they had successfully made Malaysian shared the advertisement of the free ice cream all over fb. Yes BR is the ultimate winner. (P/s just curious whether BR gave any free ice cream supply to Dato)

Besides free ice cream, there is also free 许留山 courtesy of 988 radio station show app get reward program. But the crowd is definitely lesser compared to free ice cream crowd. At the same time there is also other buy one free one offer. I.e. Starbucks, McDonalds.

Not forgetting free sample given when you give them contact details to clinique and you get a free sample of their 3 steps cleansing process.

In the situation when salary is low and expensense is high and everyone try to save money... all this freebies would benefit us the most. But just wonder does it worth the opportunity cost to go for all this freebies or discounted item.
