Almost and my RM152.10 dress

This incident happened on 12th July 2008 Saturday in 1 Utama shopping centre.....as usual nothing much to talk about its just work....after my work i decided to do shopping mall visits with my colleagues but too bad she has plans in the end i did it on my own.....start walking from lower ground till second floor....and then i went to Padini Concept Store to check out some shoes and clothes....i saw a black short pants.....loooks simple and nice so i went to try it on...quite comfy and nice ok i will buy it....so after coming out from fitting room i hold on to the shorts then i put it on my shoulders because i need both hands to choose other clothes.....after few minutes i was thinking i should buy more formal clothes....kinda bored looking at my same shirts....chose two decided to try it on but i saw the queue at the fitting room was quite long so in the end i put it back and totally FORGOT about the black shorts on my shoulders....i just walk out from the shop even the security guards was not aware....oh ya..my bag was black...went to the next shop which is nose to see my favourite high heels....so i bend down to try on the shoes all of the sudden the shorts drop on the floor....i was like holy SHit.......why is it here....i was scared and shock...very shock....quickily chuck the shorts in my bag and calm down for awhile.....walk out from nose shop stright to the balcony and calm myself....actually i wanted to take it and just go....since the security guards did not stop me.....but i didnt do that because i feel bad...and who knows they found why short of money or what so ever and check their cctvs.....so i went back to the shop pretend to take two shirts walk to the fitting room and try the shirts on....after that i took the black shorts out of my bag and throw it on the floor....walk out frm the room calmly give back the shirts to the girl and quickly walkaway....gosh....i almost got caught shoplifting....its going to be damn embarassing if i was caught....i would say im damn so lucky.....but to be honest i was not aware too....my bad....thanks to my black bag too....so black that the security guards couldnt see....and there was TWO guards....anyway i told myself this will never happen again...

so today i walk alone again in 1 Utama (Friday 25th July 2008)...window shopping...bought one pair of earrings cost RM9 from divas...wanted to buy more but to me RM9 earrings are expensive usually i buy 3 for RM10....ha-ha.....so i went Padini concept store again but this time im ver careful....went to check out the dress i like very much....cost me RM169 but theres 10% which is RM152.10.....i really like the dress alot.....i tried the dress in Midvalley but i didnt buy because very expensive....so i bought the orange formal shirt instead cost me RM89 minus 20% equals to RM71.20....walking around to see any nice clothes but my eyes just cant stop looking at the dress....wanted to try another dress and its also RM169 minus 10%.....but no more size S for me to try unless thy take down the one which the model is wearing....didnt try....after few minutes of thinking i decided to buy the dress and since i like it so much i thnk its worth it and i just cant stop looking at it.....ask the girl to bring a new one for me...check if any damage...went to the counter use my supplementary credit card *gonna get my own pretty soon*...sign and happily take my dress.....i know its expensive and not worth to pay for local brands but for me it is.....might buy the other one too....he-he....

P.S: Im going to get my pay soon and work for 3 months already.....whoa....time flies......

MY BIRTHDAY IS COMING SOON!!!!

AND

CANT WAIT TO CELEBRATE OUR 10TH YEARS OF
FRIENDSHIP ANNIVERSARY!!!

Friday (18/07/08)

should i say im proud to be Klangites?? er...mmm...ah....don't know wor.... =) anyway something very dramatic happened in our office on Friday... there was two people...one male (about 39 yrs old) and female (24 yrs old!! one year older than me).....so these tenant wanted to franchise Charms Cafe in our site which is Bandar Bukit Tinggi One, Klang...so he wanted the corner lot first floor..the size was about 4000++ sq feet including the alfresco area....but the lady was worried the business might no work because the three outlet size thy had was not more than 2000 sq feet..another problem its because of the surrounding area of Klang....well in my opinion, the people from Klang likes to eat nice and cheap food...so if any tenant wants to open an outlet here they have to really do thier homework properly because i always see shop close not even a year of business....thou they are trying to developed Klang to be a better place....okay back to my story...i can see that the lady looks very worry and was 'hinting' him....but in the end the franchisee decided to franchise Gasoline Cafe because all the interior design, constructions and etc are all provided...ha-ha who wouldnt want free services.... that is why he wanted Gasoline Cafe instead of Charms....so thy fax us the application form and we issued offer letter plus agreement....the final process was the cheque....this is where it started to happen...

we had an appointment with them on site together with the Gasoline Cafe Marketing Manager and his staff...so thy were doing the measurement....and all we are waiting is the cheque....so i was in charge to ask the tenat to sign the offer letter and i gave her a copy of it took the cheque frm her....because my colleague was talking to another tenant so coincidence the appointment was clash with each other....but in the end everything went well....we went back to our office and i need to pass the cheque to the finance...and we realise that the cehque was written wrongly...FORTY become FORTHY....so we called them and thy say the cheque wont bounced....i was like huh?? ok since they say that we just bank in then....but it was really bounced...so the second time thy wrote and this time it was wrong again....RETAIL NETWORK MANAGEMENT become NETWORK MANAGEMENT...plus the amount was writen wrongly too....thy cancelled it by drawing double line....oh my god that would defintely bounced....and the funny thing is he said it was the bank staff who wrote the cheque....that is so ridicuolous how can a bank staff write a wrong cheque....might as well don hire that fella....this is such a lame reason....trying to blame someone else...so he came to our office pass us the cheque scan receipt....there is where we found the mistake...he was trying to cheat us....bloody hell....say hes in Taman Mayang banking the cheque but the receipt says in PORT KLANG....what the heck....and thy think we are blind and stupid...thy actually change the date of the receipt because the font was different frm the original and its BOLD....gosh....

the third time thy bank in the cheque again...this time thier reason is we had bank in already i don't understand why your company haven received ityet....we went back to the bank but the staff say thy couldnt find our cheque in the machine....i was like come on man....how can your cheque dissapear just like that....till my colleague was fed up didnt answer his call or replied any of the sms....she was trying to ignore them because she thinks that thy are playing around till thy come up to our office and ask her why didnt bother to answer calls and sms....so she explained everything...and this time thy were given a chance AGAIN...thy promise to come early in the morning tomorrow which is FRiday with CASH.....but we dont accept cash bceause its dangerous...so it was Friday thy didnt turn up....so my colleague called the owner personal assistant to explain the whole incident till thy decided not to rent out the lot to them anymore.....so we had appointment in KL at 11.30a.m....on the way she asked me to sms them saying the owner decided to give the lot to other party....not eve 5 seconds he called and keep begging us to give them one last chance.....but the owner's decision is final so we just listen we can do anything anymore but he keep begging again and again repeating his bloody fake grandmother story ....so my coleague gave up saying okay i will call and ask the owner's personal assistant again.....during our lunchtime she called the owner's pa but thy still say no...if i were them i would say no too because such a small matter they cant do it properly...and we have been wondering why till now we haven receive the cheque yet(it was about 3 weeks already)....this really make them suspect thier sincerity...

so she sms the tenant again saying their decision is final and they still say no....im pretty sure he received our msg and we thought thy wont turn up in our office....guess what....YES THEY CAME....so my colleague asked me to join her....she asked him u didnt receive my sms saying the owner says no....to be honest i can see his fake OH DID YOU SMS ME JUST NOW!!!....what the helll it was just an act....and we thought he really bring whole lot of cash cause he was carrying a briefcase....but when he open it....just documents..... *sweat*....so we talked and talked...until he got piss.....talking loud....the girl keep asking him to COOL DOWN...but he don listen....and my colleague left me alone talking to them...cause she got a phone call..i was a little bit shivering there...because i tried to talk loud but hes louder....i tried to defend my coleague....because the way he talk is damn ridiculous...at first he say trust us all of the sudden blame on us....what the fuk.....he wanted the owner's number but we cant simply give it out just like that..we need get permission....suddenly he change his topic...by blaming us....saying i don't know what she told the owner until they decided to give the lot to other party...what the helll....he is saying we backstab him...ish....then i said to him how can u say that..she has been helping for so many times and u still do it wrongly....acting slamming his bag walk out frm office (like gangster so not professional)...then she keep talking to me and my other colleague who join me...comtinue talking again...repeating the same thing...gosh...after that the gal went out to calm him down...... after 5 minutes thy came in again and my colleague say since u insist for his number then i will give you....so try your very best to convince him.....so we just leave the meeting room and let them do thier talking...thy were so annoying....the gal say no matter what i will stay here until i manage to convince them...kept using the same excuses saying we sign agreement with Gasoline cafe already....paid 150,000 and if we say don want thy can sue us plus we will need to pay them that amount...show us all their 'relevant' information....no point showing it us because its got nothing to do with us....

finally the owner say okay we shall rent the lot for you then....i was asked to write the cheque in front of them...so i wrote it slow and neat....got his signature....then my colleague said her few last words to them....now i cant bank in the cheque because we have to wait for the owner's decision if they still say no then thats it and don come find us anymore...we are done....the end....

i work for 3 months and started to see all sorts of character already....both of them are frm Klang....people always say klang got alot of gangsters....i wont comment on this but im definitely not like them..... =D

FInally

Finally Grace Tan Lay Hong has experienced her clubbing in Malaysia....ha-ha...after so many many years finally i get to step in....i went clubbing with friends last Friday (4th July 2008) too bad my two gals cant join me...wish you gals were there too....the place i went was EUphoria at Sunway Lagoon Hotel...just open not long ago.....so i have to pay RM50 for the admission fee...including a house drink....i know its expensive but i dont mind paying because its my FIRST TIME clubbing here...he-he...one good thing about Euphoria is its a non smoking club.... reach there about 11p.m...after paying we have to go through security check and its just like you are going to airport they scan you to check if you have weapons or what so ever....later on we walk up the stairs.... oh my god i can start feeling the music already and it wasnt very crowded inside....maybe im early but i don think so....cause when i go clubing in Perth the time i went in its totally crowded..quite surprise to see the dance stage is EMPTY...no one dancing....sigh i see few white guys only...i wish theres more but its Malaysia not Australia....then one of my friend's colleague made a reservation and we join them so we are lucky enough that we have table....thy bought chivas....my my my....i always wanted to try chivas and i would say its all right but i still prefer vodka....maybe i didnt drink much because the whole night i just dance non stop.....DRINK LESS DANCE MORE-----thats me...... =) but i manage to get my house drink which is vodka with orange....i taste more orange than vodka......

there was some weird performers like three so called hot chicks dancing on thier own stage....thier clothing is so odd...pink wig, mini skirt, high heels boots with a top and holding a LOLLIPOP.....what the heck....i didnt bother watching them dancing..then another two idiots wearing ike robots standing on a long stick walking around like dummies.....i think its distracting and its so not COOL at all....i was dancing with my friends all of the sudden one couple crash in and he showed thumbs up to me cause im good in dancing and boo to my friend because he cant dance well....but i would say thy are crazy and better mind your own business....ha-ha i also taught my friend how to dance with girl....so hopefully u 'learn' something....ha-ha.....

so yeah....nothing much to say because i was dancing for the whole night...i was trying to flirt with other guys but it didint work....ha-ha totally different fun of clubbing in Malaysia and Perth....i'm not trying to show off but my gals know that i'm quite good flirting with guys or try to get the guy to dance with me i mean for clubbing..... ^_^

hopefully i will get another chance to go clubbing again and this time my two gals must join me too....

cheers....

P.S: i know the flow of my story is very messy cause i'm too tired to think....so whatever i think i just put it in....

Routine and How i feel

i haven been updating my blog for like 2 weeks already....well all i can say is every single day is always my tiring days cause of work...no entertainment besides watching my downloaded movies....everytime i'm home i take my shower, had my dinner and watch one episode of my tv series or japanese animes...it's like a cycle....alarm 7.30a.m suppose to wake up already but i press snooze when it rang so i always wake up at 7.39a.m but still feel very lazy....then face my laptop for 10 minutes....facebooking..checking emails...check any new episodes to download....but usually its more than 10 minutes....so at 8.05 or 8.10 i will start brushing my teeth, wash my face, morning shower, get dress, went downstairs to take my water bottle, my morning breakfast (which is done from my mum), pray god that everything goes well, locked the door, hit in the car, start the engine, drive 100 km/h, pay tol, stuck in the jam, find parking,reach office about 9.10...sometimes i reach half past nine....what can i do....traffic is unpredictable...today heavy traffic, tomorrow moderate traffic the next day smooth traffic....kinda sick of it especially drivers....finish work at 6, go gym (wed, thurs fri or sat only), reach home take my shower, dinner and watch one episode of my tv series or japanese animes*sorry i have to repeat it again*.....so its like the same routine every single day....that's why i don't have the time to update my blog...sigh...u guys realise i don have any entertainment inside my cycle....because i don't know where to go or what to do or who to call...well i have friends to call but i just don't know what to do....everyone stay in different places and honestly the one staying far apart from others is ME....damn....so inconvenient for me...i wish to move out but i think now is not the right time yet....have to save damn whole lot of money if i wanna do that.... i have this feeling after work i don wanna go home....i wanna hang out with friends, clubbing, drinking u know like try to entertain myself after all this stupid work stuff thingy...tho it makes me busy but its different....

this whole week has been a piss week because of my sister...why can't she understand what i'm trying to do, help her to choose the right way....whenever i say something to her my parents will ask me to shut up especially my mum...LET HER DECIDE WHAT SHE WANTS.....damn....i wish u would say that to me....because i want to decide what i want to do....my sister had failed to do it and im trying to fix it for her...the worst thing is my parents actually approved what shes doing now and reject mine...how weird is that...they think shes right and im wrong....so dissapointed....now she has this THIRD chance to study better....at my time when i did my SECOND time they scold me like hell....but not to my sis.....feeel the unfairness....

my dad expects us to do this and that....well im trying too and at the same time im helping my sis too but looks like they look it in a different way.... last night i realise something...what ever i do i can't feel the appreciation from my parents...on my time they say i waste thier money and time studying....when i fail they yelled at me....when i passed they kept quiet....tho i know that they are happy....yes i can see they love me very much but whats the point of me telling them what i thnk is right and they think is so very wrong....like my best friend say my perception and thiers are totally different so its a little bit hard to communicate....she asked me to put effort on it but i cant do it....i like my own way of doing things but they just keep me from doing it....i'm so tired of all this things....during my studies in Perth i was so worry that i would failed because they pay so much money for me and i appreciate that....welll i done it....pass with good results and graduate there...i wanted to study for another year and due to financial problems whcih i think its not really the main issue my parents just wants me to come back so badly....now that sucks so much....i haven been talking much to my family lately because all of the sudden i feel im an outsider...before i went to Perth i always talk alot, play jokes and spent most of my time with them....but right now i talk less, sometimes i feel they are very noisy and seldom go out with them....people changed you see....some people likes to spend time with family but for me i prefer to make it balance....i seldom hang out with friends because all my time is spent with my family....going out with family or friends is totally a different thing...... now they make me feel that whatever my sis wants to do it they will just let her....so different from my time..i see some of my friends they share thier problems with parents...ha-ha i wish that would happen to me but looks like i can't because i don feel like it and all the things i done they will definitely piss off and worst come to worst they will control me very badly....or maybe ground me....who knows....so they hardly know all my problems....

Honestly the house im staying now is just like a bird cage....like an hour ago...my parents didnt manage to come back home in time to pick my brother for taekwando clasees....so i was told to pick him....and it was raining sunday which is famous of traffic jam thanks to the new flyover they are bulding now here....so it took me almost half and hour to get home plus his taekwando class is at the other town....let me put it this way from my house to that place is like north to south....on the way back it was so freaking jam....when i got home....my dad asked me *angry tone* what took u so long to come back...where did you go....i was like waht the fuk...i answered its because of the traffic jam...i was thinking might as well ask mum to pick him then cause im sure u wont question here why so late....damn it...and if u don like talking to me then don talk....im fine with that...

i was wondering when will my life change.....its getting worst day by day....

Guys!!!!

guys guys~~~~ sigh....every time i see couples around holding hands, hugging and kissing i will feel this loneliness....and jealous....thinking when will i get a guy who loves me more than i love him.....I'm happy to see my three best friends finally got their Mr. Right but at the same time im envy too....one married, one getting married next year and one engaged....looks like they are settling down already....i don't know when will it be my turn....being single is fun but i will still feel lonely...

nowadays even a thirteen year old girl also start to have boyfriend....i was like whoa~~~ this can't be happening... and kept asking myself..swt why she can start in such a young age.....me?? 20 years old only start to feel the real love life....well....i still remember during secondary school...i wrote a love letter to a guy....ha-ha...in the end it didn't work out....my friend told me do you know that he likes you and u didn't notice at all?? i was like oh really...anyway its about two guys....ha-ha i lazy to type the whole story...i will just jump to the conclusion which is i didn't accept anyone because i think he don't match me..ha-ha....so i have been single for like six... seven years starting from age thirteen....exclude my younger age....then on the age 20 finally i found one....and hes my first love which it did went well for the first two years but after i went to Perth...everything start to change...everyone says that long distance relationship will never have happy ending..well... i would say it's true......but it depends on the strong trust between them...for me it was not strong enough...so i thought i might find someone in Perth and stay there...but it didnt go well too...because i'm going back to Malaysia....that sucks.....i just don't understand why all my good things always comes to an end....i think i will be having a hard time looking for a boyfriend..

Pasta Zanmai (Japanese Restaurant)

taSorry for the very late post...cause i was trying to get the photos from my colleague...Finally i got it and try the food too...i always wanted to try because from the picture it looks very good and nice...welll i can tell u guys that it's true....the food is good....everyday i will pass by the shop and keep telling my colleagues....wei....we must try pasta zanmai one day...since my company offfice is located at KPMG tower which links to ONE world hotel and ONe Utama so i applied ONE CARD to get the free vouchers and magazine, bottle of water and an evironmental friendly bag.....i had two pasta zanmai voucher but one of it is expiring pretty soon which is end of May...so i decided to use together with my colleagues voucher total is RM10voucher (RM5 each)...

These are the pictures of the food...i couldn't put another one but i don't think u guys will order which is vegetable pasta...welll...the food is also goood...we have to order one vegetarian meal because one of our colleague is vegetarian....so yeah....

Braised Beef Spaghetti

Wafu Unagi (this is good)

Chicken Pizza (this i would give two thumbs up...Damn good)

Chicken and Mushroom Spaghetti (looks like Cabonara)

Green Tea Ice cream
(if you are reading my blog i hope u don't mind i copy this photo =D )

Suppose to be two desert but my colleague forgot to take a photo..it looks like mini waffle with ice cream inside...

We order three main course comes with miso soup and salad, two desert, extra one dish because we think it's not enough and three green tea (if our senior told us its called ocha or something something i forgot what it's call...then they wouldn't had charge us for the extra three green tea..oh well)...the total for the whole thing is RM159.85 for six person....minus RM10 voucher...so it's RM149.85...i think its worth it....my senior says it's quite a big portion....but from the looks at it i think i can finish everything.... *Grace is a big eater but need to start eating lesser and shes going gym too*.....he-he...

I recommend you guys go give it a try.....
