dents on a car....

to those who have new cars or have cars.... and somehow there's small dents (whether it was your fault or not), here are 2 ways on removing those dents without spending too much and without bringing the car to the workshop to "mend" it.....

Option 1

Option 2

haven't tried any of these two options yet though.... wanna try?

visitors..

just going through my counter stats of what ppl search for and was brought to my blog....

- 4 from the list of 25 searches, readers are brought to my blog when they search for "One Night Stand"... hahaha so it looks like, ppl are finding for one-night-stands over the net! O_O

- few times readers are looking for Edzil Pacaldo- OOITT Ed!!! u very the popular ah!!!

- few searched for serani and eurasians

- most was from my name, my surname and shimmers

- few on Juru-Auto City, Queensbay Mall, Chillies and TGIF in Penang....

- surprisingly some on Damiral's Grill..

it's fun to see all sorts of searches ppl search for and it comes to my blog... guess my blog is multi-search-proof... :P

itchy for wifi....

haven't been online for quite sometime... i used to get access from my godma's place but they sort of "secured" it.. the last time i went online with my lappy was at hotspot place in a malay makan place in TTDI but i was with mum and some visitors, so couldn't really pay attention to what i was doing... was online mainly to download my torrents...

anyway, here i am, at Burger King at the Gombak highway... having an ice cream and nuggets... should have gotten the bottomless drink but, na... too gassy... i was thinking of going to Tmn Melawati for wifi, i know this nice makan place where it's cozy with nice sofa and tables.... but i remembered BK had hotspot so i decided to come here - got air con too! hahahha

andre and i were talking about how excited we are about going to watch Transformers.... and he told me that long long time ago there was an animated movie - in 1986... itchy, went to find the torrent for that movie and i found it! i'm downloading it now... nyeh nyeh nyeh....

will be back this weekend to service him ;) and gonna see a doc on some minor bruises... not that i bruised him, he was already bruised when i met him the first time.. so sad... poor thing... and also i'll treat him a spa treatment... hmm... we'll see if we have enough time...

driving back to BM after work will be a drag, have invited someone to join me, but that someone doesn't seem to answer calls or check emails.. argh.. what the heck, i'll just go by myself... don't say i didn't invite ah!

at this moment, he's making me happy... yes, life in kl is good, jobs... good - i mean ok, friends here are casual - nothing personal and deep (unfortunately) and also family here are so nice.. for now, i'm happy because of him.... but then again, i still need to be happy without him and i don't need anything to make me happy... i'm trying, i'm learning and i'm glad that she has found peace and happiness... i'm so proud of her! *hugs*

the love i have now...

on satuday, i got him! i finally got him after waiting for long!! i can't believe i finally have him and he's mine all to myself!! i'm so proud to have him!

i'm happy now that i have him, so far his doing good to me.... i brought him home on sunday and i'm so glad that i have him now... he somehow gives me my freedom and yet is always with me. i love him so much!

i've brought him to meet my godma and she likes him too, i also introduced to luke and well, luke doesn't really bother..but do likes his company! i've yet to introduce him to the family yet, i guess i've been busy and haven't had really time to do a proper introduction... maybe i will tomorrow after work

it'll be our first weekend together and i hope we will be able to spend sometime together and getting to know each other... can't wait to go on adventures with him.... especially at times like this, i really need him to be with me and support me during these times...

i'll be getting a lil bit more freedom... soon... but i'm still waiting for her to call to tell me when she will give it to me.... within this week - it seems... sigh...

walking to the train station today again after work, the roads are still very muddy and today it didn't really rain, the roads were dry and it made the area very dusty... dry mudd everywhere, sand flying everywhere, certain places the mud was still wet and sticky - i nearly slipped again...

cousin told me that Dataran Merdeka was still flooded... they built the flood tunnel thingy where now they're charging RM2 for every entry... did that make any difference?? errr... no? sigh....

so count down to our family reunion on the 14th july... i'm in charge of photography, drinks and games... the tricky part is the games.. i came up with some and now is to prepare for it.... carol said i should go to toysRus to get some ideas... maybe i will, when i get the chance... i'm so excited!! i've taken 2 days leave for it and i can't wait for the event, i haven't seen the arab gang for soo long and i haven't seen the ipoh gang for so long either!! and i really need that holiday off from stress at work...

had a 1-on-1 today, and it was a good one, i mean i told my tech lead what was bothering me and making me stressed and he even noticed about that too... he did tell me what exactly stresses me out and told me to concentrate on how to solve that prob - dealing with elderly ppl over the phone!! sigh... how do u actually deal with old ppl on the phone? those who are in call centres, PLEASE give me some advise here..... in no time i'll be pulling my hair out man!!! but overall, i'm doing ok, improving very slightly - but still improving, which is good... and even he too told me to use my AL to de-stress - i'm entitled to.... sigh... maybe i should, but i feel guilty for taking leave... i guess my job here in KL is different now, not as laid back as in hell, i have more responsibilities here and jobs here more - serious... so i guess if i'm OVER stressed, then it's a good thing to take some time off and relax....

been watching this show on tv, and most of the mini stories of every character in that show somehow has a relation to what i am going through and what i'm feeling, but as how all tv shows end, they end happily.... while as for me... i've yet to have a happy ending.... i'm still at the middle of the series where everyone is in the dumps and hope is lost... i just wish mine would end soon and have my happy ending... i'm just scared that i'll do something so wrong or drastic just to bring me out of this, just so to get my happy ending sooner... i'm still feeling that something is missing, though i'm actually "rich" with all the good things...

i'm stressed

stressed from work....

it's mundane, it's boring, it's routine.... i know someone will comment that i live by routine.. but hello!!! not THIS routine.... though i know i can go somewhere here, but how can i go somewhere when all i do it take calls?

i mean, some of us are taking extra "projects" to show that they can do and make a difference in the department... i'm all supportive of that... but, sigh.... i just need to have that freedom and time to do that extra work... fine- they can manage their time... but... sigh.. i guess i'm just full of excuses...

yes yes i'm still here

hahaha.... i'm still around...

sorry ler... no updates.. no proper time to write and also no connection ma... even this, i'm writing during lunch....

dun worry... lots coming up...err.. soon... heheheh :)

PHH 1509 babe!!!!

MySpace for a bf?

one of my colleagues asked me to join MySpace to find.... "someone"... hahaha i was skeptical, though i did get a "catch" long time ago online, but i don't think it'll happen twice... maybe it will but i'm not putting too much hope on it... but anyway, i signed up for it, but never went "browsing"...

she on the other hand, found many "suitors" online, but she just treats them as friends though they have different types of feelings towards her...well, she IS sweet and is a hot chick....so..... it's not surprising that she do get alot of "fans"

a wet KL

i'm sure u have seen on the news and in the papers about the major flood in KL.... well dun worry, i was not affected. lucky was that on monday, i was scheduled to work at 6am!! yes! i know, just like ol' hell days... so i went to TTDI to my godma's place for the night so that my colleague could fetch me from there at 5.30am! *yawn*

then we reached work, there was no sign of flood, i guess they have already cleared the main roads.... then at work, i heard bout the news... i was like... i didn't see anything, i didn't know!!! then i went about my day and forgot about it...

when work was over, i was walking to the Masjid Jamek station and that's when it struck me that that area was the major flooding area!!! i could see the flood "lines" that was as high as my chest!! yes! that high!! and looking around, all the mamak shops, 24-7 shops were messed up and all the indian shops and restaurants all damaged. DBKL was cleaning the streets with lorries filled with rubbish and the workers all sweeping and cleaning the mud... yuck!!

so i was lucky i didn't take the normal time to work as ppl were stuck at the station and can't walk out because the streets were full of mud... oh well, when it rains cats and dogs here, got to watch out around masjid jamek area....

DO NOT travel on a holiday weekend

hmm... was supposed to hear from her about my purchase but haven't heard anything yet... i hope she'll call soon, i can't wait...

was back home in bm for the weekend, just wanted some time home, away from work... wasn't feeling to good... didn't really meet up with any friends, just 2 old timers.. it was good to see them, it brought back some old memories and feelings. it's so nice to feel that again and to be with ppl who i am comfortable and familiar with....

what's funny is that i didn't know it was a public holiday and i bought a ticket back.. my gosh, never again... i mean, never again i go back during a short public holiday stint! suffer... so far so good, i 'm not sick yet...

oh and i went to see aunty esther's art exhibit... too bad i couldn't make it for the opening, would have enjoyed it... was looking at her painting and i nearly got emotional... it's something good for her and her works were so good, wonderful... i felt so proud of her! really wished i was there... i'm sure there were alot of ppl there to support her..

been getting a bit stressed up at work, with the targets, KPIs, bloody customers attitude and ignorance.... i feel like taking off tomorrow, but it's responsibility to go to work tomorrow... i don't want to get used to just taking leave or "mc" when i just don't feel like doing it - it's bad..

am working this weekend... sucks man!!! sigh...

1 night stand

what does it mean? the basic of the term would usually mean girl goes to club, boy goes to club, girl sees boy, boy sees girl, boy talks to girl, girl talks to boy, girl and boy feels the physical attraction and at the end of the night - they end up in a hotel room, or his place or her place... and after that, they both don't hear from each other again.... (or maybe they do but THAT's a different story)

does that sound about right?

hmm.... i guess so... to me, that is what it means.... but ever since i've been staying here in KL, i've met some "interesting" ppl.. girls i mean (they're easier to make friends with here - btw...sigh why not boys uh? heheheh)... it's that these girls are not the party type (but some of them are) and they are just out there in the "field".... sometimes they get a goal sometimes they don't... but they tell me that nowadays, the boys are more "gentleman" and they are not really interested in scoring... i'm happy to hear about that and i guess it's for the better and that they are now more educated and are more respectful to the female form....

but my question is this...

what type of girls do the guys ACTUALLY want to have a one night stand with? is it with the girls who WANT to have a one night stand? or to the girls who give them some challenge that says "no" to it and it gives them that ego boost to play that game and to try to get them to bed?

what would the guys think about the girls who actually want a one night stand? will the guys think that they are sluts? would they think that maybe even girls just sometimes want to get laid - just like the guys? is it double standard that if the guys can go look for one night stand, the girls can't?

hey i'm not talking about money here ya, no ones whoring and no ones a gigolo.... it's all about the physical attraction....

i haven't heard of such things in penang... maybe we do have it here in penang, but i don't know anyone who has such stories.... but now in kl, it's like a whole new world.... there's so much things that's happening that u don't see, unless someone tells....

so what do u think? i KNOW that one-nigh-stands ARE BAD!! are a NO NO and a NEVER NEVER.... but still... what do you think? or do u know of such situations and how was that being dealt?

these girls were telling me their stories and were waiting for my input about all this but i was speechless... i didn't expect on such "incidents"... so i didn't know what to say.... it just kept me thinking... hmmm... i know that i'm not such a girl who the guys would want to have a one-night-stand.... i'm not even that girl who they will have a second glance with - let alone wanting to be in bed with me.... so my dear readers, u don't need to worry about me being in these situations.... but i would just like to know what you all think about this...

(see map)

random-ing

had to do a quick dash back home because of some shitty thingy happened 2 years ago... i thought everything would be settled but i guess not, knowing how the system works in this country... thank God that nothing bad has happened and that i was not "needed" to settle this issue... i hope this won't come up again after 2 years... sigh....

was surprised at myself that i went home and came back to kl in 24 hrs... i'm damn tired now, just hope i won't get sick... this trip down was a bit different as i saw him for the first time since it happened, i was quite nervous at first but because we had a very long history i became very comfortable after a few minutes having him in the car and having his presence there... i was glad to have seen him again....

bearly had time to chat with mum and dad... but what to do... the trip was an "emergency"... but managed to get some formal things done... as in the first step in getting my most important baby... a baby that i've been waiting for for soooo freaking long! and in one months time, the baby will be mine!!! can't wait!!!

work has been in a roller coaster, performance not doing too good, just hope to buck up soon.. don't want my boss to regret confirming me to the team... maybe i need a break uh? hahhahah.... nah.. don't think so... maybe just some time to myself without the strain of time... though i do miss the sea and sun and a swim... :)

cannot rely on the pool here where i'm staying because the pool is "out of order" since... a few months ago... hahaha.. i only swam in it once... but it's different swimming in an apartment pool compared to swimming in a hotel pool or in the sea by the beach...

i dunno but it's like i miss the country, the beach the sea and yet i love city life... i guess when the saying "humans can never be satisfied" is true... when u got something, u wish u had something else, and when u get that, u wish for the previous...

was wondering to my readers out there... anyone knows of a good FREE (download online) antivirus software? the one i don't need to pay after 30 days or something like that.... not Norton, not Macafee, not PC cillin...... cause my new lappy still doesn't have a good anti-virus except for the Windows Defender that came with Vista...

oh.... and i can't seem to download different types of files from the internet - error message "....some security settings are preventing you from downloading this file..." it's like wtf wei! i've checked everything i can think of and i still can't download it.... i think the culprit is Vista.... damn it.... sigh....

u know what i'm craving? a good bowl of Baskin&Robbins ice cream, with a good piece of rich moist choc cake and a good piece of Victoria Station steak (or maybe Chillies!!).... sigh....

1U with the gang

so my cher, ed, ed's nephew and lil rosie finally came down and i met up with them for half a day.... met up at 1U and they were shopping, followed them, wanted to get a few stuffs for myself, but couldn't find any, just got a pair of pants...

anyway, we went to have lunch at Italiannis.... first time going there with them.... had a blast! rosie and i had shrimp linguinie, the rest had carbonara and lasagne.... and they were wonderful!!! and as for desert, we had creme brule!! OMG!!! i agree with ed... feels like heaven!! hahahah.... must go back there again for that and also, i'm itching to try their pizza.... hmm....

after makan.... shop somemore!!! man this ppl can shop and surprisingly, it's not THAT stressfull going shopping with them... oh oh oh and i found my shop, Dorothy Perkins.... their selection is quite good, though they may not have my sizes.... i did try a skirt... and surprisingly i could fit the size 18 that they have! and some parts were loose!! i did try the size 16 and it did fit, though it was abit tight some places... but hey!! i can fit a size 16!!! hehehe.. unfortunately only for skirts la... not with pants.... couldn't fit in size 18 pants... bum too big hahahah

it was the second time i met ed's cousin... i think his name was eliza/elija... not too sure.... quite cute looking but abit shy la... hehehe i guess it's because we are all new friends to him... but it was good to see a new face in the group... :)

we did take some pics but it's all in rosies pics... so now... have to be patient for her pics... hahah i still didn't get my karaikudi pics!!! :P hhahahahh so nice to see them again... i felt i was at home hanging with them, but in fact, we were in KL.... sigh... really miss them...

ask, answer, receive

.... was basically what it all meant in a talk i went today. to achieve your goal (whatever goal in life) u got to ASK.... and when you ask, your questions will be ANSWERED ... and u must be ready to RECEIVE that answer....

when u ASK.... it doesn't mean that u will get the answer that u want... and whatever ANSWER you get u must be ready to RECEIVE it... be it the answer you want or the answer you don't want... the trick is to know what the ANSWER is so that u can RECEIVE it graciously AND then only u will achieve your goals...

it was also said that BELIEFS are not universally true.... BELIEFS can be changed and you change it so that u can reach your goals...

also, u have to know WHO you are and WHAT you want... because if you don't know what you want, how on earth would someone else KNOW what you want!!!

so the bottom line is....

KNOW what you want, be CONFIDENT that that is what you want, ASK for it and LISTEN to the ANSWERS.... be ready to RECEIVE those answers and your goals will just come to you....

fuuhh... what an eventful and emotional sunday.... very informative and it told me so much i didn't know about myself...

thanks Shamini...

random thoughts

we had a crazy idea last night, some how the both of us had the same thought of having some thani after dinner... so on our way back, we got some ice-cream soda to make our own lil cocktails with absolute vanilla... though i do like the taste of vanilla, but it's abit hard to make concoctions with vanilla... oh well, in the end the 3 grown ups in the hse had thani! hahaha... i thought with one drink it would make me sleep better but unfortunately, it kept me awake!! why? i dunno ler... some how i was tossing and turning in bed for at least a good one hour... thinking about what also i dunno... i mean i do know what but why, i don't know..

was thinking of going back home this weekend so that i can make my booking and just spend some time at home and some good friends but something came up, i got an invite to go to talk/course thingy, which i hope will help me in getting back in the game... it's RM88 ... sigh... still thinking about it, well, it will be given by a professional though.... and also heard rosie and couzzy will be coming down to kl for ed's car... so.... to stay or go back? if i don't go back this weekend, i will only go back the weekend after next...

had a lil meeting today at work, looks like there's alot to be done... there's the COPC and some methology analising thingy at work.... it's good that the dept is moving somewhere... somewhere good and not so stagnant... hahahah no wonder my boss told me not to be "stagnant"... heheeh.... am actually proud of my dept and happy that i'm one of them.... though at times i feel routine with the everyday calls but it's all good... for what i'm getting and how i am here in kl, so far so good and i couldn't be more greatful than i am now...

ppl say that it's good to have friends in quantity but it's better to have friends in quality... i know i do have quality friends but what if it all changes in time? do u try your ever best to keep that so called flame burning or do u just leave it as it is and just make do with the other casual friends that u have?

i've been missing her quite alot... i'm trying to keep in touch but i guess she's busy - i think... i wouldn't know... we haven't been talking and i don't know her updates.. i don't know if she needed an ear, if she needed someone to talk to, if she needed to complain to, if she needed someone to just listen to her or just someone to have a drink with.... i want to be there for her.... but..... i dunno.... i don't really want us to drift apart because i really love her and i don't know how i'll do knowing she's not in my life anymore...

andre had gotten free tickets to a local movie that's premiering... "I don't want to sleep alone"... don't think it's a sleazy movie... i don't think so... but i have a feeling that this movie is about more that what the title means... u know... it's "deep" hehehhe..... i think i can relate to the title... yes, i don't want to sleep alone... i want to sleep knowing that someone is there, that someone is thinking of me, that someone cares for me and that someone will do anything for me because they love me.... but currently.... "i'm sleeping alone"....

don't fret my dear readers.... i'm generally basically happy now, shimmers is no more the sulky, i'm-all-alone blogger but she's happy girl looking ahead and not behind!... i have a great job, great friends, great family i'm staying with and great friends that keep in touch though i left penang... i'm good to go and i'm looking forward for the future... for what HE has planned for me, and whatever HE throws at me - i WILL take it and make the best of it (though i could do more of guys here *looking up* heheheh....)

it's been nearly a month....

*if u pantang looking at funeral pics, i warn u not to continue....

it's been nearly a month since Uncle Philip left us, so fast time flies... have been here in this hse and it feels so different, that he's not here.... usually he'll just make witty comments and just makes me laugh.. sometimes he gives me good advice about life and what it's best to be done at this age of mine... somehow he knew how i felt about things, esp in relationships, work, life experience... sigh.... i will always keep his advice and i know that he's in a better place now...

in the funeral parlour - St Ignatious Church
