Watson Clearance Sale

Venue : South City Plaza, Seri Kembangan
Date : 21st November - 4th December 2009

The Watson Warehouse Clearance Sale is here!

I went to the warehouse sale on the first day and it was fully packed! People were acting like a bunch of ruffians, wrestling their way to get the things there. In a way it was a scary sight 'cause everywhere you see, people are pushing big - I mean BIG boxes filled with all the items on sale, from body shampoo to make up kits to foot massagers, etc. Not just one box mind you; 2, 3, 4, 5 boxes, big big boxes!

*faint*

We went there quite early, but the items there were already mixed up and most of the branded items such as St. Ives, Rejoice, Darlie, etc were all cleared out leaving only the Watson brand items on sale. The price ranges from RM 1, RM 3, RM 5, RM 10, RM 15, RM 25. I think the most expensive is the foot massager, being sold at RM 25. RM 15 for items like Blackmores, slimming products, RM 10 for items like shaver, some medicines, lotions, and RM 1 to 5 for items like make-up kits, body lotion, body scrubs, etc.

The second time we went there was on the 4th day of the sale, and the environment there that time was totally different. There were no people grabbing and snatching the items there like on the first day.. Somehow the fourth day was calmer compared with the first day. But the boxed items are all tempered with and some of the contents are missing and damaged.

AND... on the fourth day, some of the prices were REDUCED! *sigh*
Should have bought all the things not on the first day~

Ebay Scammer II

A few weeks back I posted on my blog about an Ebay scammer that has scammed a friend of mine. I posted all the information I got on the scammer and there were positive feed backs, where other victims also shared their tale on how they were scammed by the same person. But not long after, I got the shock of my life as when I tried to access my blog, a message pops-up instead, saying 'The blog you were looking for was not found' and I got an error code bX-7ty0br. Apparently my blog was reported to be a spam.

You could imagine how frustrated I was - just when we were going somewhere with the case, I got such message and I could not access my blog. I was blogless for more than 2 weeks and finally and thankfully, I was able to access my blog once again. But the funny thing is, before my blog was blocked, when I Googled the scammer's information (name, cc number,etc) it is directed to my blog. Unfortunately, after my blog was blocked it seemed like he just vanished without a trace, like the scam never happened at all!

I am aware that it is against the policy of blogger to reveal the personal details of anyone. But is it fair when this information is available but it is being blocked and other innocent and genuine buyers will be scammed over and over again. AND the person responsible will never be caught cos there is no information on him being a scammer and other innocent buyers will think that the seller is a genuine seller.

But for me personally, I feel like I am just doing all that I can to prevent others from being scammed by the same person over again. Am I wrong to warn others to not deal with the person? Am I wrong to reveal the information on the scammer that has scammed a lot of people? Is it fair that he is still out there without a care in the world of ever being caught? Is it fair that the information is blocked from others to access and in a way just letting the scammer get away like that?

So, who is at fault in this case when the same cycle repeats again? When this scammer scam other innocent buyers? Is it the one trying to warn others or the one keeping the information blocked from the public?

Dogs I Would Love To Own One Day

I love dogs. Dogs are the perfect pet a man could have, that is probably why it is referred to as man's best friend. One of these days I wish to be a dog breeder and I would love to own one of these..

Siberian Husky

A gentle and sweet natured dog, the Siberian Husky is a breed that makes for a great family dog. He has a dependable nature, and is loving and affectionate, enjoying attention and interaction from his family. This breed will definitely be the first one I'll breed!

Labrador Retriever

Labrador Retrievers are good natured, loving, and loyal dog that makes a wonderful family pet. These dogs are intelligent, responsive, and obedient, which makes them one of the easiest breeds to obedience train. The Labrador Retriever is well suited to both inexperienced and experienced dog owners. He is very quick to learn, and is friendly and sociable, with a mild manner and a very amiable attitude.

Golden Retriever

One of my all-time-favourite breed of dogs. The Golden Retriever is a dog that is stable, loving, eager to please, and gentle. These dogs make wonderful companions and family pets, and they love to give and receive attention. The Golden Retriever is a loyal and devoted dog, with mild manners, a responsive nature, and a playful streak. These dogs love the company of humans, and are not suited to those that cannot commit much time to their pet. They are quite energetic, and in particular they love to swim. These dogs have a real passion for life and for everything they do, and are extremely sociable dogs that will get along with almost everyone.

German Shepherd

This is an alert, lively, loyal, and very intelligent breed. He is often used as a military, police or search and rescue dog. These dogs are obedient and very quick to learn. He is one of the easiest of all breeds to train due to his high intelligence. The German Shepherd is active, full of energy, courageous, confident, and independent. In fact, The high intelligence and responsive nature of the breed makes this one of the easiest dogs to train. Some German Shepherd Dogs can be quite aloof and serious, and some can be dominant and sharp. However, these are very capable dogs, and are eager to please their owners, although their personality makes them best suited to those with some experience of dog ownership.

This is my favourite of favourites breed. Although I have this breed at home, I still want to own one myself one day. Ah~ I miss my Sydney....

Shakira - Did it Again

A new song by my old-time favourite singer - SHAKIRA!! After all these years I still am crazy bout her and her songs. I just love this video clip~


First floor (ah)
room sixteen (ah)
Smells like danger, (let's go)
even better. (let's go)

Set your goals, (ah)
bless our souls(ah)
I'm in trouble (yes I know)
but it feels like heaven.

Hey!

You were like one of those guys
the kind with the wondering eyes
but I said "hey, what the hell, once in my life
I'll take a ride in the wild side"

You were so full of yourself
but damn, were you cute as well

You like my legs, I like your moves
anyone could tell, and it's hard to deny that

[Chorus]
Did it again love
I got it all wrong
but it felt so right I can't believe it.

And all the mistakes that
went on for too long,
wish there was a way I could delete it.

Eh, eh, eh, eh,
ah, ah, ah, ah [x2]

Second night(ah)
in a row(ah)
back in trouble (let's go)
I don't get it. (let's go)

Gotta keep it down (ah)
'cause the lobby called(ah)
we ignore 'em (yes I know)
it's getting better.

Hey!

When it comes to men it's known
that I end up choosing wrong
'cause I always trip and fall on the same old rock
and repeat and go back.

How blind a girl can be
to miss you hide your ring
but I bought everything,
I'm so naive
and I should've known that.

[Chorus]
Did it again love
I got it all wrong
but it felt so right I can't believe it.

And all the mistakes that
went on for too long,
wish there was a way I could delete it.

Eh, eh, eh, eh,
ah, ah, ah, ah [x2]

It may seem to you that I am in a place
where I'm losing the direction of my life
but I'm sure that this is nothing but a phase
right back at ya, 'cause I'll survive [x2]

[Chorus]
Did it again love
I got it all wrong
but it felt so right I can't believe it.

And all the mistakes that
went on for too long,
wish there was a way I could delete it.

Did it again, I got it all wrong

Eh, eh, eh, eh,
ah, ah, ah, ah [x2]

i.e or e.g???

While browsing and surfing the net, I came across a rather interesting article on how people always misuse the abbreviation 'i.e' and also 'e.g'. Truth be told, I was once amongst those who could not differentiate those two abbreviate.

i.e (id est) means 'that is' while e.g (exempli gratia) means 'for the sake of example'. A simpler way to remember both terms is by remembering them as :

• 'i.e.' stands for 'in essence' or 'in other words' and 'e.g.' stands for 'example given'.

Now, in a sentence, one must be very careful in using the abbreviates as to not mislead the meaning of the sentence. As a rule of thumb, 'i.e' is used to paraphrase or to make a statement while 'e.g' is used to give more examples. Below is an example on how to use both abbreviation correctly.

• The elephant is a pachyderm, i.e., an animal with thick skin and nails resembling hooves.
• Buy some vegetables, e.g., carrots, lettuce,tomatoes.
  

The above examples clearly show that both abbreviation differs and they give different meanings to a sentence.

Low Shoulder - Through The Trees (with Lyrics)

This is another favourite of mine, a soundtrack in the movie Jennifer's Body. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

All alone in an empty room
Nothing left but the memories of when I had my best frIend
I don't know how we ended up here
I don't know but it's never been so clear
We made a mistake, dear.
And I see the broken glass in front of me
I see your shadow hangIng over me
And your face, I can see...

Through the trees
I wIll find you;
I wIll heal the ruins left inside you
Cuz I'm stIll here breathing now...
I'm still here breathing now...
I'm still here breathIng now...
UntIl I'm set free.
Go quiet through the trees

I remember how we used to talk
About the places we would go when we were off
And all that we were gonna find.
And I remember our seeds grow
And how you cried when you saw
The first leaves show.
The love was pouring from your eyes.

So can you see
The branches hanging over me?
Can you see
The love you left inside of me?
In my face
Can you see?

Through the trees
I will find you;
I will heal the ruins left inside you.
Cuz I'm still here breathing now
I'm still here breathing now...
I'm still here breathing now...
Until I'm set free.
Go quiet through the trees.

Cuz you're not coming back
And you're not coming back
No-oo... No-oo... No
You're not coming back...
You're not coming back...

Take my breath as your own
Take my eyes to guide you home

Cuz I'm still here breathing now...
I'ms till here breathing now...
I'm still here breathing now...
And I'm still here...

Cuz I'm still here breathing now...
I'm still here breathing now...
I'm still here breathing now...
And I'm still here...

Cuz I'm still here breathing now...
I'm still here breathing now...
I'm still here breathing now...
And I'm still here...

But you're not coming back.
And you're not coming back.
Cuz you're not coming back
Until I'm set free
Go quiet through the trees.

Deliciously Delicious?

Delicious Cafe @ Bangsar Village 2, Jalan Telawi Satu, Bangsar Baru, Kuala Lumpur

To celebrate our housemate's birthday, we bought various types of cakes from Delicious Cafe. Above are some of the desserts available there. All of them are just so finger licking good, but too bad I don't know their names.. All I know is they are sinfully delicious! MUAHAHAHA!

Food, Laughter and Friends

Good food, good laugh and good friends are the little things in life that makes up a good day. I personally enjoy good food accompanied with good friends, just sitting, eating and chit-chatting. The food need not be fancy nor grand, any food would do as long as it's finger lickin' good.

Sam Kan Zhong

The above is one of my favourite food, Sam Kan Zhong. I especially like the pork sausage and the minced pork in the mee. It feels like heaven.
Another favourite food of mine is the Hakka Lui Cha. The first time I tried it, I really could not accept the taste, as it was nothing like I ever tasted before. It's a blended vegetables soup that is served with rice and some chopped vegetable. But surprisingly, I find myself craving for it one day, and the second time I tasted it, it came to be one of my favourite food.



Tofu has always been a personal side dish favourite of mine and Tofu Pok served with Lui Cha is just the best. I just can't get enough of both food.

OMG, looking at the the pictures of food while writing this is making me hungry. Gosh, now I don't know what to have for dinner, it feels like I want to eat everything!! Damn you food, why must you taste so good??!!!

Ok ok, apart from Chinese food, I do like other food too. Indian food is another favourite of mine, especially banana leaf rice. I don't know how, but I always managed to finish a full banana leaf rice with some additional side dishes. Other than that, I also enjoy roti canai for breakfast accompanied with teh tarik. Yummy... It's great to start your day with that.

It's great to have good food and have good friends to share it with.

A trip to Pahang

A friend of mine invited me to attend a wedding reception in Raub, Pahang. We made our move from home at around 9 am to avoid the traffic jam. While driving we planned to go sight seeing before attending the reception, which starts at around 2 pm.

We saw a sign that said "Hot Spring" before reaching Raub, and we decided to go have a look at it and maybe freshen up a bit. The drive to the hot spring was really nauseating cos it has many turns and the road is quite small for a two-way road. After a long 10 km drive, we finally reached our destination. It was a shocker!!

It's a sight that we did not expect to see...

It would be a great attraction area if it is well maintained - what a shame..

It was not as what we anticipated it to be. It was filthy and it was not well maintained - I doubt that it's ever been maintained. After seeing the condition of the hotspring, we continued our drive to Bentong to fill our stomach. There we saw another sign that says "Chamang Waterfall". I tried to get the route on my GPS but I got a map to Fraser Hill waterfall instead. Since it was still early, we decided to go and have a look at the Fraser Hill waterfall, and after the wedding reception, we will go to the Chamang waterfall.

After driving for more than 20 km to the fall, we decided to make a U-turn when we realized it's still a long way to the fall, and we won't make it in time to the reception. After the reception, we headed straight to the Chamang waterfall. The road to the waterfall was unbearable and the road was under construction, which makes it dangerous if there happened to be an oncoming car. But luckily, we reached our destination safe and sound.

Hanging bridge - Ugh, I hate these things, especially when some people keeps swaying it!

I was really excited to see the waterfall, it's been so long since I last went to a waterfall. We didn't plan to swim that day, but after getting our feet into the water, we can't help ourselves but to go into the water! The water was really cold and the current was quite strong, which made us ended up sitting on rocks to stop ourselves from being swept away by the current.
It was a really good day, it really brings me back to the good old days. Wish we could go there again sometime soon..

A last glimpse before exiting back to home sweet home..

Quick snap of the sales

Today is the last day of levi's dockers warehouse sales!! For those who did not get the chance to go there these past few days, you still have few more hours left to go. But I'm not sure how's the crowd now and what stocks left.

I went there on the first day of the sale with my friends and we reached at about 9.30am as to avoid the jam and also the crowd. It was really worth going as the jeans are very cheap and there are lots of choices for the ladies. Among them are 'elise', 'patty anne', 'eve' and others.

The price range was really a knockdown, ranging from RM80-100, and there are slim straight type if I'm not mistaken for RM50 and also jackets and skirts. For men, the price range from RM80-RM115, t-shirts around RM30. The other section is docker's and levi's shoes, belts, shirts, and for kids. The belt I think is quite okay, and are being sold at RM50 about 60% less from retail price. The ladies tee are sold around RM20-RM40. Somehow on my first step into the warehouse sale, I was like in a trance or something, I could not stop my hands grabbing all the pretty jeans, and it seemed like the other shoppers were also as shocked as me to see the price of the jeans there. Queuing for the fitting room was quite ok if you are not in rush. Damage for Day 1 = RM440.

The next day I tag along with another friend to the sale in case there were jeans that I missed out earlier. We went there around noon, and by that time, it was hard to find a parking space. We ended up parking at the hotel parking after driving around for 30 minutes to find a parking space. The hotel parking rate is RM2 for the 1st hour. The second day of sales was different from the first day. All the jeans were mixed up, so you have to struggle to find the jeans you want and the right size. Ladies tee I assumed .... finished ...I only saw the men's one left .... Damage for day 2 = RM230 (better...=) )

I bought levi's slim cut, regular straight, bootcut, curves,skirts, belt, and some tees. Might have to let go some due to impulse buy. I'm thinking of letting go 2 levi's skirt. Anyone interested ? =)

Ladies Beware!

Last night I heard a shocking news from a friend of mine. And I believe this story is an important reminder for all the ladies out there, especially those who are driving alone.

My friend was on her way driving to a friend's house last night, and while queuing at the toll, suddenly a motorist smashed her passenger window and tried to grab laptop bag that was placed on the passenger seat! Luckily my friend was the aggressive type and she pulled her laptop bag not letting the motorist to get away with it.

This is a really important reminder for all the ladies out there to not put their hand bags or any important things on the the passenger seat. It is safer to put all you things under the passenger seat instead, the chances of the motorist to get a hold of your bag is lower. It is also always safer to lock the doors before you go off. And always, ALWAYS be alert of your surroundings although you are in the car.
