Zestful One

My first day at work

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

Halloween Costumes

Halloween has just passed a few days ago. My friends who are overseas were saying that people were walking in the streets in costume. I think its a really fun thing to be able to do that.

Over here, we don’t really celebrate Halloween but most clubs and bars are in full swing with various types of Halloween parties. I personally went to check out Quattro in Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur’s newest hot spot, and the place was packed to the brim.

There were a few people wearing common but sexy costumes – like a skin tight glittery short red dress and devil’s horns, and pointy witches hats which kind of poked the back of my head a few times. Come to think of it, most people had those light in the dark devil horns. Cute!

I was browsing online and saw that they had all sort of adult halloween costumes. No! Not those that u bring into the bedroom (though you can, if that your kind of thing. haha!) but many types like pirates, alice in wonderland, gothic queen and Frankenstein bride to name a few. There are also cute little children costumes like a yellow duck marshmallow peep. Adorable!

Maybe I should organize a halloween costume party next year. It’ll be fun

Ralph Lauren Notorious in KLCC

Have you guys dropped by KLCC lately? Ralph Lauren was promoting their newest fragrance since last week with a really nice display. It looks like a Black and White scene of Paris or other European countries with an antique car and also part of a “bridge” that’s jutting out. Not to mention they also had those street lamps which gave a whole ’sidewalk Parisian cafe’ look.

Oh and the fragrance? I didn’t try to smell it, but it smells really nice when u pass by :)

New Sunglasses

Now that I drive daily from Damansara to KLCC, I find that I really need to get a good pair of sunglasses. Previously, I drove mostly at night – late night yumcha sessions or clubbing nights out with the girls – so I didn’t really need it. I have one currently but its a bit scratched so its not all the comfortable to use.

I’ve read that for my kind of face (the chubby rounded type), I should use square-ish sunglasses. That means none of that huge round aviators (I don’t really like em anyway) because it will make your face look rounder.

I personally have a thing for wraparounds – the type of sporty looking sunglasses that wrap around your face. Some thing like this one from Oakley :

Nice yea? I’ve been trying many many pairs now but still have yet to find the right one. Guess I have to shop around more then.

Online Shopping

Lately I’ve got some people asking me about how I do my online shopping. Well there are three ways I generally do it:

1) Buy from auction sites such as eBay or Lelong

2) Buy from forums like Lowyat.net or MalaysianBabes.com

3) Buy from websites overseas

I notice there is still that worry among the ppl about getting cheated. Something like “how if I pay and I never get the item?” Well ladies and gents, there are certain policies that ensure you will have a safe and secure transaction. For eBay there’s a point system and for forums there’s a tradelist of some sort to show the previous transactions.

Personally I like buying online because its so very convinient. Transfer the money via online banking or Paypal and just wait for the item to arrive. Plus, some websites even have discounts and promotions. Sometimes you can even use promo codes to get a better deal.

Ah..everything at our fingertips.
