Working life so far

Posted by IcedNyior on December 30, 2008  |  1 Comment

Working life so far has been rather interesting. It takes me around 1 hr to get there and 1.5-2 hours to get back (depending on what time i leave the office).

Lots of people say the best part about working is that you get your own income. Well yea, but with an income comes more responsibility – especially if u’re the eldest.

So the parents and I sat down the other day and kira-kira. I offered to pay the loan for my car in exchange for them paying for my student loan. Actually both is roughly the same total amount but I preferred to pay for the car

Here’s the breakdown of the rough estimate:

Toll = RM6.50 a day = RM180
Petrol = RM 240 (includes those times when i terpesong to other places)
Car loan = RM500
Total = RM920

Merry Christmas Everyone!

A year has gone by so fast hasn’t it. Its Christmas time again. This year I dont really feel the Christmas spirit because i dont really feel well and I still hv to work full day yesterday and tomorrow plus half day on Saturday.

Anyway, instead of posting the really cute flash animation like I did for the past two years, here’s Taylor Swift’s version of “Santa Baby”

Santa Baby – Taylor Swift
Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I’ve been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
I’ll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the fun I’ve missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven’t kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you’d check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo

Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that’s
Not a lot
I’ve been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, there’s one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, I’m filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your ‘X’ on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany’s
I really do believe in you
Let’s see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don’t mean a phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight

Dancing Naked

Random quote of the day
“Never dance naked because the body has parts that do not stop moving when the music stops”

My new beauty blog

Posted by IcedNyior on December 18, 2008  |  No Comments

I’ve started a new beauty blog some time ago with my sister. We haven’t really actively posted on it yet. But we’re going to write reviews on products – such as Acne Complex, shampoo, creams – that we’ve used. I think there’s not enough places to read reviews about products in Malaysia. Most of the websites I’ve seen in overseas which is not the same due to our asian skintype and environment.

My sister has oily, acne prone skin which is sensitive to some products while I have combination skin which can generally take most products. I think its a good mix :D

Speaking of acne, I was walking around in Ikano Shopping Center and saw that they have this center for skincare. Particularly for Murad Acne treatment or something. The facial was really cheap, perhaps I’d ask my sister to try it out and we can review it on our beauty blog. We’ll see

Is Debt Consolidation a good idea?

Posted by IcedNyior on December 17, 2008  |  1 Comment

Debt consolidation (according to wikipedia) is taking out one loan to pay off many others. This is so that you can secure a lower interest rate, secure a fixed interest rate or for the convenience of servicing only one loan.

I had a guy friend who was doing that. When he explained it to me, I didn’t get it at first. He said he took one loan to pay off his study loan, credit card debt and I think some smaller debts.

Then when I think about it, isn’t it better to just focus on one loan? You can then settle all your debts (and avoid high interest rates) and just pay back one loan. So you can do your budgeting easily.

Of course the best way is to avoid debt in the first place but this is one solution to help your financial problems.

Download: Farm Mania 1.1

Do you want to leave the bustling town and spend some time in the country? Farm Mania will help you! An young girl Anna has decided to assist her grandfather on the family farm for the summer. She will seed the earth, water crops, hoe soil, feed animals, and watch everything grow! There’s lots to do on the farm, e.g. guarding everything from rabbits, wolves and crows, upgrading agricultural implements, and selling your harvest to earn income. With fun mini-games, growing up animals, and tons of tasks to master, Farm Mania will never make you bored of the country life!

This is a dash/time management game that I saw in Yahoo Games. It’s really interested and different from the usual type of dash games. You can get the pre-cracked version (credits to LeeGT and team). Enjoy!

My first day at work

Posted by IcedNyior on December 15, 2008  |  6 Comments

6.45am

Nervous! Im getting ready for my first day at work. Am going to take a new unexplored but easier route. Omg! Nervous! Couldn’t sleep well last nite :/

Wish me luck!

10.30am

I’ve settled in. Met most of the 40 or so staff members. Mostly Chinese here and some Malays – but they are mostly in the enforcing department (they have a hamster tank in their office. lol!) There’s some construction going on. The fumes are making me feel high and pening a bit. Im still a bit shy tho *blush*

12.26 pm

I managed to track my movement on Google Maps. Tolls :
# NKVE (Kota Dsara – Dsara) = RM 1.00
# Sprint (Kerinchi) = RM 1.60 (i think? cant rmbr)
# SMART = RM 2.00

Yea its RM4.60 for tolls. But totally no jam except a bit after the Damansara toll. Got to the office in slightly less than 1 hour which is pretty good for morning rush hour.

Now I wonder when is lunch?

3.32 pm

A series of unfortunate events:
- They are doing some renovation in the office. the chemical fumes (glue, paint and got knows what else) is making me dizzy
- I had to eat alone. nobody invited me to lunch :(
- I dropped my phone into the toilet. yea, AFTER I did my small business :’(

On another note, our pantry is decorated like a tavern and we got a life-sized N*ght Elf. LOL!

Plus there is a new sealed copy of Gr*nd Th*ft Auto 4 on my desk. And stacks of GT* 4 posters behind me

Six Months Later…

Posted by IcedNyior on December 15, 2008  |  1 Comment

Its exactly six mths since that day.

I realize it doesn’t hurt anymore. Certain songs don’t make me teary and feel like wallowing in self pity. I can talk about it without feeling a deep pang in my heart. I can laugh about all the silly things we did – remember the glitter on the carpet? And also the tampon incident? My insane craving to have bbq chicken wings?

I’ve moved on, and I hope you have as well. Perhaps you still refuse to be friends. Maybe you want to. Its okay, it doesn’t matter anymore. Either way, I wish for nothing but the best things in life for you.

PC Fair was utterly packed! Meh! Now I remember why I’ve avoided it for the past 1-2 years. I could hardly walk around. What more with the people all harassing – offering ‘antivilus’, ‘stemix’, ‘waimax’, ‘cledit kat’. Yea, thats how they pronounced it.

See the crowd! Picture credit to DanielK @ Critically Acclaimed

Oh, there was this guy promoting credit cards and I said ‘takpe, student lagi’. Then he said “Betul ke student lagi?”. WTF! I said “I tak nampak mcm student ke?” Meh! What I look old?

Didn’t buy anything tho. Oh wait, I bought a tub of CyberClean because I really do like that stuff. Sticky and good for cleaning small things. There are lots of nice laptops. The Dell XPS looks nice. Wish I had money to buy all the stuff :(

Stranded in TTDI

Posted by IcedNyior on December 9, 2008  |  2 Comments

I got stranded in TTDI on Monday. Stopped by the bank around 10pm to withdraw money then car couldn’t start. Cant even on suspected the battery

So called my parents, they came with battery water, filled in the water. But then it still cant start (but lights/alarm/hon/central locking all functions) even after we tried jumpstarting for about 15-20 mins.

So had to go find a shop to buy a new battery. Finally reached home at 1am. Tired
