learn how to say NO...

No and Yes....they play an equally important part in our lives.
With just 1 word as such, it could change you fate, your lives, you way of thinking, your decision making....
So, what i'm pondering now is......why can't people learn how to say no in the appropriate time, the appropriate situation?

when someone ask you to rob that old lady crossing that street, would you rush head on and do it without thinking? DUH, obviously, if you have conscience and moral values, you wouldn't hurt that poor old lady.
so, the answer here is No...

Now, where have i heard a certain story......let me try and relate it here.....
i believe the story below would ring many bells....LOL!
(please excuse my HORRIBLE grammar)

-----------------------------------------------
Once upon a time, there was a king who ALWAYS said yes....even to certain issues in his country, in which does not concern him, he'll say yes when his ministers asked him to intervene.
There was once that a neighboring country was in a war, and that he needed more people. Knowing it was a losing battle, that king still sent his men (in which he is already lack of in numbers) into that losing battle, causing many of his own soldiers to lose their lives in that hopeless battle.

Many scorned him for that, they hated their king, for he do not know the right time to say No.

Also, there was another time when his minister told him to store gold belonging to another country in his palace. Without hesitation, the king said....' LEAVE IT TO ME, MY MEN WILL HANDLE IT'

So as time goes by, one by one, the king's corrupted ministers started to ask the king to store goods that DOES NOT BELONG to his country........
His loyal advisors had already hinted and suggested to him not to do so, for it will be his cause of destruction. However, not only did the king not heed their advise, the king told his advisors to HELP the ministers store the goods and ordered the advisors to cease their selfish suggestions.

As time goes by, the neighbouring country started to realise that their goods, their poultry and valuables started to go missing and decrease. Then, only they realized that the king is storing the goods in his palace. When the neighbouring country's leader demanded an explaination, the king could not get the corrupted ministers to answer, much less own up their doing.

When the leaders of the neighbouring country wanted to attack the king's country, the king then turn to his loyal advisors and questioned them...

" Why didn't you stop me from storing those stolen goods?! You are all my advisors, you should be doing your job. You should be helping me to govern the country! Why didn't you execute your job properly!? Why did you neglect your job so!?"

Then, the advisors all answered.....

" We did advised and suggested....we have often hinted to you to say no to those corrupted ministers, but our advises and suggestion fell on deaf ears. Not only that, you ordered us to HELP the ministers too. We had no choice but to follow your orders, for we are only your loyal subjects. You said that by saying no to them, would made you look like a dictator in their eyes, and that they would abhore you, but little did you realise, they were taking advantage of your inability to say NO. "

Thus, the kingdom in which the king has ruled over for so long was attacked and the king fleed to a deserted village.
One day, the king saw a peasant boy and asked.....

"Would you be so kind to share some of that bread you have with me, for i have not eaten for 2 days already. Even the crumb would do "

The boy then answered.....

" NO, OF COURSE NOT, GET YOUR OWN BREAD......IF I GAVE YOU ONCE, THEN YOU WOULD COME AGAIN TOMORROW AND BEGGED FOR FOOD FROM ME. I WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT!"

Then, the boy stormed away, happily munching his bread, leaving the king with nothing in the end.

----------------------------------------
SO, the moral of the story is, learn how to say no at the appropriate time. Yes, you may look like a hero and everyone would adore you when you agree to them....But it will also backfire when others take advantage of that.


Aaaa....finally finished......
I hope this would serve as a reminder to all you out there who often say yes. I've always been a yes person........but being so has lead to many taking advantage of my kindness...
so, NO TO YOU GUYS......

Wohoo...it wasn't that bad afterall!!

WOhoo.......previously, my entry was about my stupid credit card bills, but turns out.....i didnt owe that much afterall..!!
LOL.....yes, i kinda lost track on my debts..hahaha..

ANYWAy...yeap...after next month (yeah...1 more month to go), i believe i would have cleared my debts..!! (for that card only though.....Orz)
Well, after 3 years of not going to the hairdresser, i finally got my haircut from a professional!!
(not that my cousin isn't good, she was great all these years...IMAGINE THE $$$ I SAVED UP!! XD)

TADAH...here's my new look..!!!


LOL....yeah, a totally different haircut from my previous years....i decided to go REALLY REALLY short..one of my shortest haircut ever.....

Mood : HUNGRYyyyy....

another obstacle....

well, it looks like i've stumbled upon another obstacle in life.

This month will most probably be one of the hardest months for me. I thought i had everything under control, but it seems that financially, i've made a mistake by paying too much for my credit card bills.

Yes, in case you haven't noticed, my obstacle usually revolves around money.

It's only the 1st of June and here i am, already broke beyond words. I suppose i'll lose some weight this month partially because i have little to none enough to spare myself for food.

I haven't been able to down much food either lately. I have no idea why though.....

My appetite seems to have left me. Everytime i feel hungry, but when i'm at the dinner table, i can't seem to eat.

Mom mentioned something that really ate me up from the inside. Not gonna go into what she said, but it really got me thinking.

I suppose she mentioned that on a whim, but then somehow, i couldn't stop thinking about it. 

oh well, let's hope this month passes by swiftly (i doubt) and July would be a better month?

By the way, i was thinking of letting go of some of my older costumes.

Anyone who wants any costumes of mine (well, i believe my facebook has an archive of my older costumes), do pm me?

NO NO, i'm not retiring....

it's just that, i was thinking of getting some $$$ from the sales.

(yes, i'm so desperate now.....=_=)

Money, thou art so far away.....

I admit, my financial planings suck.

Mood : Depressed *checks bankbook*.........even more depressed....OTL

life, oh life.......

ok, now that i've calmed down.......let me backtrack what happened just now....

Hmmmmmmm........
ok, what i can tell myself.....

life is often intertwined with happiness and frustration, since it is inevitable for these 2, why not look at the bright side of everything, and go by it with optimistic feelings? *notes to self* *takes a deep breath*

It is just like a rope, whereby it has 2 strings, intertwined with each other.......
Eventually the dark clouds will go by, and the sun will shine again....
Since frustration in life is inevitable, i might as well face and conquer it with an optimistic mind...

Leave the past behind, and look towards the future.......

why i hate window displays....

yup, i'm going to blog about my experience when i go window display-ing this time...
It's a real shitty experience i tell you...everytime i go for window display, i'll feel so much hatred, it made lelouch's hatred towards britannia looks so..pfft, petty....

Anyway,
yeah...the dreaded day came, so once again....our department, the EVERYTHING-ALSO-DO department had to head out to pharmacies all over selangor/ kl to display our promotional items, or rather....the pos materials of the month (i think...heck, we weren't told anything! we just had to go out and display..with our 'CREATIVITY'...pfft)

SO,
i'll list this down chronologically according to branches that i went starting from....

ENG ANN branch
overall, this branch is the MOST FRIENDLIEST-EST branch i've been to...ever since i started windows displaying..
well, it could be because my mom's a regular there....she goes there for her vytril and stuffs...
the store assistants were ever so helpful! they helped me clean up the area, wiped the dust off, dispose of the unwanted items, and also helped me shift the things that were in the way.
when i finished, she helped me put back everything (i was actually putting them back myself when she came to me and told me it's ok, she'll do it......)

Moreoever, the store assistants and supervisor all had smiley faces on them....
Overall, i rate this branch a 5 / 5......*thumbs up*

NEXT......

BANGSAR Branch
Getting there was no hassle, thanks to See Wah's GPS....(maigod, it was WAAAAAAAAY better than kenneth's GPS...this one was straightforward....LOL)
And then, parking wasn't that bad either...somehow i got lucky with parkings today...(all my parkings were kinda near to the outlets)
This branch....well......not much of a comment..somehow starting from this branch, all i got was black faces from the store assistants....i mean, WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO? DID I KILL YOUR DOG OR SUMTHING? WHY DO YOU GLARE (note, i used the word GLARE) at me when i told you i'm coming for the windows' display?
well, AT LEAST they did help me clean up the boxes from the previous company who displayed there...
I'd rate it a 3/5.....wait...make that 2.5/5......

NEXT, we head out to.....

DESA SRI HARTAMAS branch
MY GOD when i saw the display area for this, i was ever so thankful i lost weight...
seriously, if i were at my prime weight (lol..back in form 5, i weighed a whopping 90kg..haha)
i think i'd be stuck in between the glass and the wall..
IT WAS SO SMALL...it was in fact the smallest display area i've ever seen..!!!
(Glomac's branch look SO BIG compared to this....=_=)
i pulled a muscle around my neck area while displaying this......it was a light pull, so nothing much to worry about...
Though, i'd say this branch is kinda friendly......(well, DUH, they were both chinese ladies!)
So, i kinda settled this branch kinda fast....I COULDN'T DO MUCH! i CAN'T FIT INTO THE DISPLAY AREA FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!!!!!!
OH...one thing about this branch...i had to 'patah balik' to this branch because when i almost turned out into the highway, i realized......I LEFT THE TOOLBOX BEHIND!!!!
i had to make an illegal U Turn, and when i headed back, i saw DBKL giving autographs to cars..LOL.......

So that's that....no hassle with parkings and directions......parking for this branch was the BEST....it was directly IN FRONT OF the store! LOL....(and there was a KFC opposite it....but i refrained myself.....it was lunch time too....T^T)
i'd rate this branch a 3/5......would have given it a 4 if it werent for the SMALL DISPLAY AREA.....and the pulling of my neck muscle....=_=

NEXT STOP.....
SS15 Subang
okay, before i say anything about this branch...let me summarize this branch in 2 words.....
FUCKED-UP BRANCH (lol....wait...this is 3 words? LOL)
yup, it's a fucked up branch.....parking was a catastrophe, and the people who worked in that branch all had the my-mom/husband-just-died-this-morning look.... WTF? you're working in retails, you're trying to sell your product....the least you could do is smile!..
THEN, this pharmacies...Miss LEE...(yes, i remembered her name)
she was transferred from Subang Caring to this branch.....(yes, i even know that, because i saw her in Caring last year)
she is one of the MOST FUCKED UP STUCK UP pharmacies EVER....
Hey, it doesn't mean that you're a pharmacies meaning you're worth more than me...
Human dignity does not vary.....so give a little sense of respect will you? bitch....

AND, the store assistants, whoa.....when i approached them and told them i'm here for the display, one of them told me...

'I THOUGHT IT'S TOMORRoW? can you come back tomorrow for the display'
..........................seriously, at that time, i wanted to shout at her...

but no...i regained my composure and told her...
' The Sales Rep has already informed you all, didn't she? My boss told me to come for the display today. Why is it that other branches gave me the green light, but your branch is asking me to come back tomorrow?'

She looked at her colleague, and then told me to ask the pharmacist..
fine, i'll go look for MISS LEE.....and i came back telling the store assistant....SHE SAID I COULD DISPLAY..
(pfft, talk about bad communication....)
fine, i displayed...blablabla.....and then, all of a sudden, there were 2 - 3 store assistants, trying to look out whether i'll steal stuffs....BAH, come on, would i steal sweets? i wouldn't be that stupid.....if i were to steal, i'd be looking at the cash register....DUH...

So, i got so pissed with this branch, i just removed all the old display, and left it aside....
i thought, HECK CARES...it's your branch...you clean it....
this branch, i'll rate it -5/5...YES...there is a negative in front of the 5....
WORST BRANCH EVER......WORST!!!!!!

parking, well....i had to DOUBLE PARK...this place is a mess.....good thing 5 minutes later i managed to get a parking...(only because my car was blocking that car)

TAIPAN branch
Well, after all that mental volcanic eruption, at least this branch was more civilized...
parking wasn't that hard...i had to wait in the car for a while, but not long after that (around 3 mins i guess) a car reversed and i parked across the store.....kinda near too...
This branch's display area was kinda ok.....not too big, not too small....just right for the pos materials i had...
I was fuming when i reached this branch, but thank god Riko called me that time and i had a chat with her...
well, i couldn't carry on with my displaying because the aunties were standing there, and i couldn't access that area
QUESTION : how long do you need to pay an item?
ANSWER : the auntie took a full 20 minutes to pay her stuffs.....and i was stalled 20minutes there because of that.....she was standing RIGHT AT THE DISPLAY AREA, and i told her excuse me so many times, even i got annoyed...
ratings for this branch?
3/5........wait...make that 2.5/5.......
(because i was hungry that time....T^T)

USJ 2/2c branch
OKAY, the final branch......was kinda glad that all the nightmare was over.......NOT!!!!
this display area was so small, i think it could rival GLOMAC's.....once again, i thank god that i lost weight....else, i think i'll have a hard time displaying in this branch.
MOREVER, it was so FREAKING hot.......the aircond was blowing out hot air, and i was standing right under the aircond......imagine...=_=...hot, dry air was blowing at you when you're moving in a confined space trying to beautify the area. one word for this....TORTURE!

OKAY, finally finished displaying...what do i do with the previous display boxes? yup, i told the girl there that the boxes are there...so you guys know what to do with it..
omaigod.....my blood pressure shot up when that girl answered me she dunno..
here's how the conversation sounded...
me : Ok, i'm done already. The boxes from the previous display are there....i suppose you guys know what to do with it rite?
girl : EH....i dunno....
me : but i'm not responsible for those boxes....
girl : i really dunno la (in a rude tone), you go and ask the store assistant at the back. i'm new here
me : *stare at her* .........

before she muttured another word, i stormed into the store, and asked the supervisor...
then, i treated that girl as if she is invincible......when i walked off, i just notified the supervisor and didn't even glanced at the girl.
i mean, HELLLOOO? it's your store....it's your rubbish, you don't expect me to clean it for you...
rating, another -5/5.....
well, at least the pharmacist here is nice......ok, for that...i'll rate it a -4/5....there...justice done..

*** EXTRA NOTE ***
most of the branches are manned by MAH CHANS....(email me or pm me if you wanna know what it means)
the reason why they looked so paria is because of those mah chans...they can never progress because of their mindset.......always protected, always being lazy, and have no sense of urgency.
This is why our country are plunging into a destructive state. It's because of these mah chans!
Look at the rest of the world, where there are no MAH CHANs, they prosper so much faster than us.......
and most often than not, these mah chans carry the my-mom/husband-just-died looks on their faces....GOSH, it made me wanted to slap them....

*** Another extra note ***
well, why i hate window display, sidestory
yup, why i hate it? you see.....i'm a degree holder...i graduated with a Bachelor's degree. But, we were bestowed upon treatment that are not equivalent to our qualifications. Me and my colleagues well, we are often looked down when we go for these jobs. It's a saddening thing, don't you think?

ALL IN ALL, i'm glad this is over...let's hope the next windows display is next year....
*prays*

Fucking prank calls....

Fuck, i've been yawning none stop since morning, and it's because i received a fucking prank call at around 5am in the morning..

The number was +966598882920 and after much googling around, i found out that the number is calling from SAUDI ARABIA..

i was like..WTF?! those people have nothing else better to do than to call people at dawn!?

crazy son of a bitches......moreover, i received the call TWICE....i shut the call the first time....and then about 5 mins later, the phone rang again...

fucking assholes....i hope those bastards rot in hell with their screwed up minds.

crazy asshole dick suckers......

AND NOTE TO YOU ALL OUT THERE

DO NOT GIVE OUT MY NUMBER TO ANYONE UNLESS I PERMIT YOU TO DO SO

i don't want stalkers and crazy minded assholes giving me calls and sms-es at an unearthly hour of the night.

I have already retired from being a vampire, so i am sleeping at normal times now.....

Losing weight......is one of the most difficult things in life...

One of the hardest things in life i've faced is...yeah, losing weight.

Yes, i know i've come a long way.....losing 20kgs and dropping almost 10 inches off my jeans size is kinda amazing now that i think about it, but still....there are the times when you feel it's just not enough...

I've been on the plateau graph for quite some time now, and i'm beginning to feel frustrated and disappointed.

Why is it that the rest could easily shed their fats while i struggle to do so?

No, i am not eating all those junks, nor am i dieting in an extreme way..

i believe my friends and colleagues know what i eat and i'm eating like a normal human being...not too much, and not too little...

so i guess it's not my food.

I exercise a whole lot too.....i mean, i run 5 to 6 km on the threadmill almost everyday, and row 1.3km on the boat machine too..

I also do 100 sit ups and a whole lotta other resistance machine too..

Why is it that other people lose weight that easily, but not me?

frustrated much.....><;;;
