Lee Priest in Malaysia.

Ok, a diversion from my usual posts. Hahaha. This post is so not my usual style.   I am pretty sure serious gym goers would have heard of the company EGOnutritions, known for short as EGO. I know my friends do. Good nutrition, good body, all the good reasons for your ego. Bleah.   For all you guys out there, this is a rare chance of a lifetime to meet him. Who is he? Lee Priest , of course. He will be in Malaysia very soon.   Check this out >  http://leepriestmsia.blogspot.com/   You would pay RM 250-RM 500 to watch your favourite singers perform live on stage right? Yet, you most probably don't get to see them up close nor get their autographs nor get to take pictures with them. All you can do is take pictures OF them from afar... And they end up so tiny and blur on your cameras. :(   Well, EGOnutritions is bringing Lee Priest to you. And guess what? You can actually get to take a good picture with him. ...

Grammar Nazi - Part 1

Image
OK, grammar Nazi time... Honestly speaking, I am not an English expert. Subjects like phonetics or the origin of the English language are not known to me as I do not have a degree in English. However, my English is good enough for me to spot mistakes that either make you want to cringe or sit the offending party down to an intensive English language lesson! The pictures below are mistakes that I see nearly everyday. These belong to a property developer company. Browse through the pictures below. The mistakes are so glaring that I really do not understand how such error can occur from a company like them! What does having a fully equipped fitness centre got to do with being "energetically"? First of all, the usage of the word energetically is wrong. Even the word energetic is already wrong in this context. You do get the message that they are trying to convey, but it makes you (or me rather) go "Energetically what?" This is an easy exa...

About an Eulogy

Just a quick one for today as I am still in the midst of creating and editing two posts. One, is where you will get to see me become a grammar Nazi and another one, which is more descriptive. I need time to describe...hahaha. You can anticipate these two. :) Ok, if I were to ask you my dear friends, to write an eulogy for me, now, while I am still alive, can you do it??? According to dictionaries, an eulogy is a speech or writing praising a person , especially  in honor of a recently   deceased person. Presenting an eulogy is good, in fact, it is one of the hardest things to do at the funeral of a loved one.  Most of us will find it hard to hold back our tears as we speak of the ones we love. My question to you is this: Why do we praise and say good things about a person after he or she has passed away? Can the deceased person hear you? Will he or she know how you actually feel or think about them? No, right? Then why do we do...

Who You Are

Hello all, Awww... Isn't this cute? I find it very true and meaningful in a way. I love the way the guy's face was drawn in the last picture. Hahaha. An adorable, satisfied kind of look. This is dedicated to all you guys out there (and girls too) who seem to find themselves not good enough for the other or another.  How do you know you are not good for the other and why do you say so? There must have been something in you that attracted the other person to you in the first place, right? For those who lack self confidence, well, I can't say much. Hahaha. I know how it is. I struggle with it too. But, why compare ourselves to others? ("Smart" words coming from me, bleah.) It's like comparing a fish and a bird. Fishes swim, birds fly.  Fishes die in the air, birds drown in the water. Right? (Hmm... but both are eaten by cats, ooppss, wrong comparison, LOL!) Yea, soo.... :D So, I sincerely wish the best for all of you out there, who ar...

Be Safe

Ladies and gentlemen, In view of all the recent crime incidents, robberies, car smash ins, murder attempts etc. please be extra vigilant in whatever you do. Be it crossing a simple junction, Walking from one shopping centre to the one next door, Getting into/out of your car, In your car at the traffic light junctions, Withdrawing money, Parking into your house compound, Shopping malls, Carparks, Toilets. Be very careful and alert. I am not going to tell you how to defend yourself. We may all learn this by heart but when the time comes, panic often overcomes our rationality and we react accordingly. Girls, we can no longer assume that we will always be ok wherever we are. I thought I did. I was wrong. Today, as I was walking from Subang Parade to Carrefour, something happened that chilled me to the bones. It was a bit of a wakeup call that made me realise that I am also vulnerable. I was calm outside but inside I was panicking. Good thing t...
