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.

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.
