Juicy Couture

Thought I'd never see it, but I found the perfume by Juicy Couture for Men, in Botswana. Looking forward to own one bottle. By the way, its name is Dirty English.



Too cool to be true (even the advert).

Will be leaving to Lesotho in next week.
Are you ready?

Markham

I went for shopping last Sunday.
You know what? Apparently I'm too tiny for most of the pants sold in my newly found favourite label's store. 32W? No way. I'm only 30W.





Also bought a casual jacket that goes well with black formal attire. It's a high neck short jacket. Hah I always have a thing with high neck stuff. So like it that I'm like wearing it all the time. Oh and also the new scarf :)



That's the brand.

Florence

Florence is my friend, and she's also the sister of my favourite staff Opelo.
*Ope just gave birth to a baby girl. Have yet to visit her in the hospital.

I admire Florence for her non-circuitous. I think her gut, brain, and mouth always work as one. She's the kind of person who would not tolerant being mistreated. Go right to your face and ask : "Why you want to do that to me? Did I do anything wrong?" – that's her style.

One great personality.

Charm

For the first time, I discovered what "charming eyes/smiles" really is.
It happens in a split second, and makes you stunned and go like "wow..."

Not many people can do that I guess.

Intriguing enough, it's not something that can be reproduced scientifically. Just like a great singer knowing how to play with your emotions at will through singing.

I wonder what would happen if I really know how to do the "throwing a charming smile" thingy.
Hmm...


I would have got to seriously DEFINITELY use it to the ultimate level!
A lot of my problems would thus be easily solved.



Do I sound like I'm kidding you?



Sometimes reality calls for shortcuts. Hah. Serious man.

*Skimpy clothes do the same magic for girls I guess. Hahahaha!

Back to Basic

Back to basic:



It's time to start a new chapter for my life.

I need to be...

• More confidence;
• More effort;
• More patience;
• More open-minded;
• More thinking;
• Speaking from the heart;
  
• Less superficial;
• ???
  

We always have tomorrow. Let's start it all over again :)
It has got to be fun.

Disease

I have a serious disease.




And that disease is...

... I blush too easily!!!




I already am a 23-year-old ok!




GOD.




Someone please come and cure me!!

Secretary

In case I have forgotten, please remind me of the following lessons I've learned from other people's tragedies at work:

1. If you're the person who's holding the key of the building, please don't ever ever forget where you've put the key.
2. If you're the person who's planning for people's transportation, please remember to ask EXACTLY what's their plan. Assumption will bring disaster.
3. Always make a plan for everything even though you're not sure what will happen exactly. If a thing is not of your concern or is not of what you need to do, remember to state clearly to the people who you think will be affected by that thing.
4. Be aware of the consequences of verbally informing people or your boss of the content of agreement or black-and-white. You have got NOTHING to prove to anybody that you've clarified the content with them.

I'm getting better in this kinda of management job (?) Maybe I'll end up becoming a great secretary one day :P
I've heard of how a secretary could end up becoming the CEO of a company. Who knows if I'd become one someday?


Hah. Dreaming.

I lost my temper because I thought I was left behind again, and I sent a really nasty SMS in CAPITAL LETTERS to question people if I were really left behind.


And then people told me that the SMS was rude. And that I lost my respect to people.


*Sigh*
Did I, really?


I'm feeling so bad about that.
Because I'm afraid that people have lost their respect to me too.

I promised myself that I'm not gonna lose my temper anymore.
Sometimes, being a friendly, tolerant and kind-hearted person lives happier than being a prima donna or a diva who always wanted to control everything and needs attention all the time.


I think I'm having a bad influence from xiaxue.
But I think I'm just being honest to myself.


But being honest doesn't mean we have to lose our respect to people, right?

Will keep that in check.
It's good that I realised it now.

Olivia Ong: L-O-V-E

This song just relax me and make me feel happy.
Hope you have a happy day.

Bossa Nova

My long lost good mood is finally back :)
I quote myself:

It's not about how a thing happened. It's about how we see it happened and how we deal with it.

Wisdom comes with age — I totally agree.

Just realised recently that my favourite genre of music is Bossa Nova.
Woo hoo, just move your shoulder along with the rhythm and feel the song —
Love it!

Currently listening to Olivia Ong's "L-O-V-E".
It's super Bossa you know.


Will post the song soon.

KFC

Again! Aha! :D
It might not be a big step, but at least it's a step. So happy hehe! :)

The Sun

The Sun, originally uploaded by max.law.

Putting on my aviator shade and leaned my body close to the opened window. I could feel the cold breeze brushing over my face while the bright sun leaving a little warmness on it –
It's a perfect weather.

Many stuffs came into my mind right this moment sitting in the car; The people I have met today, the Mariah Carey's quotes I've been reading, the people I have been dealing with, the things that are waiting ahead, the words I've said, my friends who are reading this, and... many many more.

It wasn't totally a blue. Sometimes our mind just need a mirror.

Can't express much of it in words. It's in this song:




站在最頂端上卻失去光芒
曾留下的浪跡我無法想像
一個人的勇敢能和誰分享
喜悅後的悲傷在沒人的地方
深呼吸繼續往上

我知道我知道
也許明天會更好
對天空大聲咆哮答案我卻聽不到
我知道也知道
心裏的恐懼有時多過堅強
有你我不再難熬也不再尋找

最後一場賽跑他開始踮腳
陌生人的喧鬧一句都聽不到
想飛躍他不怕高

Fashion Show

There's a Fashion Show by Limkokwing students last Saturday. The show was quite a fresh idea in Gaborone, as it's the first time organised at the entrance of a mall.

Showing nipples by accident wasn't sexy -__- Maybe they should learn about using doube-sided tape when wearing sexy gown. Hmm.

Randomly, I bought new shades. Aha.

It's only like 30 Pula (RM15.00) and I know I would NEVER bought shades as cheap as that in Malaysia because I certainly would think they are too cheap for me. Haha. But now... whatever la.
*Seriously, I have no confidence in cheap stuffs.

They are KFC here. Those are KFC Fries.

Oddly enough, they only have tomato sauce and chili powder, no chili sauce.

Awakened at 4 some, because of a weird dream.
Grandma walked into my room, and slept beside me. I blanketed her so that she won't get a cold.



Then I realised I wasn't at home.



Then I woke up.


*Sigh*

Is that a sign I'm missing her?

It's all about how you want to live your everday and who you wanted to be.

That's right, baby.

I'm tired that I no longer want to smile just to let people feel comfortable.
I'm tired that I don't want to conform to anything or anybody anymore.
I think I finally know who exactly I am. *GASP*

There are things that I always wanted to say in my daily life, but I can't get to say them out loud because I just wanted to be perceived as a nice person -__-

I think I'm being too nice most of the time.

Things I really wanted to say:

1. You're not my boss or my mom - why should I listen to you? I don't even listen to my own mom though.
2. Is it really that funny? If not, why are you guys laughing so hard?
3. Hey you! Stop acting so cocky ok?
4. You're nobody. So why I want to care about what you say?
5. Hey you're quite annoying. I'm busy here.
6. Hey are you hitting on me? For your information, I'm not gay. And you make me feel uncomfortable.
7. I don't want to because I don't feel want to.
8. Can you just do it faster?
9. So?
10. It's not my problem.
11. Can I know what are we waiting for?
12. Why cannot?
    

I'm also not sure why I have to be so nice?

Videos & Jamali's Farm

Just finished uploading the video clip I took at Gaborone Dam to YouTube. I'm uploading another one (which is a quite funny one) while I'm writing this post. Hopefully it'll finish by the time I wrote the last sentence. You know, Internet connection is not a luxurious here in my house in Gaborone. But I'm glad I have it, because I've been through the Dial-up days. Haha. No comment :)

I actually heard something in the bush. It must be some kind of small lizard or, maybe a snake? *gasp* But in the end I just hopped over that part of bush and continued with my sightseeing — couldn't be bothered too much about it coz couldn't wait to see the nice view. Haha!

Started driving recently. An auto MPV.

Walking around in the Main Mall (a street with many shops and buildings and small stalks) and I found a really interesting shop:

Found something really amazing:

Hello Kitty Pink TV! :D But who wanna buy it?

We went to a farm of a rich old guy named Jamali. The family is really nice. I was amazed to realise his wife is a Malaysian Chinese! Too bad she can't speak Malay because she's been living outside of Malaysia for around 20 years. And seriously, her around-6-year-old youngest son is really really cute! The elder one is really handsome and the other 2 elder sisters are very pretty too. I think Gujarati father + Chinese mother is a really good mix hehee.

They even own a grass field.

This sunflower is damn huge. It's bigger than my face, and taller than me!
Should be named "suntree" instead.

Tamil is whispering to the lemon. Don't know what they were discussing about.

This flower looks like a food to me. A bao?

We even found a playground inside the farm. The guys went crazy!

Imagine what would happen when the fatty (teehee :P) Faiz trying to have fun on seesaw with the help of the others. It's in the second video, and the uploading just finished :)



Till then, bye bye. It's 1.55AM.

Gaborone Dam

Today is public holiday in Botswana [Sir Seretse Khama Day]. I was awakened at 7.30am by a SMS from Malaysia [Ok. Work -__- ]. I did some works, and then went to bath room and all.

Remembered to take a photo of myself.
Yeah, in case you have forgotten how I look like :)

Just bought a scarf last week. Really like it and so I'm like wearing it most of the time. I used to wonder how this thin lil' shit can really keep us warm. But hey, it really works.
Do you know that our neck is the part that is most sensitive to cold? From my own experience, coughing always starts from a dry throat and an uncovered neck.

***

Been to Gaborone Dam last Saturday. Took a bunch of nice photos. Impressively, I'm using one of them as my wallpaper right now. You really have to agree with my improved photography skill. Haha!

Arrived at the dam. Apparently there a private event going on inside so we were not supposed to go in for long. 10 minutes.


Couldn't go further inside.






The sun is setting.


This is an amazing view. Reminded me of Microsoft wallpaper. You can download the bigger one as your wallpaper here.
[sadly, the biggest allowed in flickr is only 1024x768 :(]


Larger photo here.

I've captured some short clips. Hopefully can upload them in the next post.
Till then, enjoy your life :)
