The new guy.

All the senior staff seriously hated this new guy that has joined us a month ago. He's looks as if he's only 20, settles all our techno problems & still has time to clinch big accounts. The Boss even invites him to his pent house to check his system. Yesterday Boss has another problem, calls him, he spend 5 minutes, hits restart, reminds Boss to do updates, & floats out with little wings on his back.

I don't mind him though, yesterday he showed me 1000 ways to utilized my I-phone .. haha....

                                                    

Please Don't kill yourselves at the Leaning Tower of Pisa !!!

Have you been to Pisa, Italy ? If you have, you will definitely have taken a picture of yourself holding up the famous leaning tower, one way or other. A small group of my friends are there now, I couldn't join them as I've used up all my leave for the year. Anyway they were sending me pictures in 'real time' of themselves in relation to the Leaning tower of Pisa. They were desperately trying to create these  images they found online to various degrees of success ....😆😆😆

This seems easy all of them could recreate this

Jim sprain his ankle doing this, the rest know better to even try  !

They suffer More injury trying to recreate this ....lol....

 What happened to them now ???? Let Just say, I'm glad they had travel insurance ...LOL....

Am I a monster ?

Yesterday after work, my colleague Pat came to my place, as she wanted to look at all the stuff I bought online. We bump into my neighbor at  the guard house. My neighbor was taking her baby & her dog for a walk. Pat cooed over the baby as I pet the dog. When my neighbor left. Pat asked me,
" Is the baby a boy or girl?" Well I didn't know.
"Do you know the baby's name? "
"No... Her dog's name is Snowy. "
" You're horrible !!!"

Am I?  Look I'm not a monster. I like babies for all the obvious reasons. They are cute & soft. They do cute things. And even if they throw or bang spoons & knives in restaurants, poo all the time or cry in the plane, I'm fine with that. I'm not the least bit disturbed as they are not mine. I felt almost desperate to defend my position to my friend as to myself.
Is there something wrong with me?

Snowy looks something like this, cute right?

An update of my Vanquish & Shock Wave treatment

Hi all, have not touch my blog for a while. Time to update on my Vanquish & Shock wave treatment. All went quite well. My tummy has improve like 80%. Well I guess I can't really expect a totally flat tummy due to my lifestyle & age (ahemmm....) .  I sit all the time & don't exercise. But it's much smaller & flatter than before, so I'm happy.

I took panbesy & duromine for only for a month. Once the excess fats were removed, I change my eating habits & stay on the Garbaslim fat burner.

I started drinking coffee without sugar. I limited my favorite soft drink to only 1 per day. I used to drink at least 3 per day. Snacks I buy the small packets, no more family size. No fruits either, I noticed I've been eating too much of them, thinking of fiber they provide. But I could get the same fiber from unsweetened vegetables. I eat more spinach, kale, brocoli, cabbage & salads (with little dressing).

The Vitamn D jab has helped to improve my metabolism. I've since shaped up nicely. I've also include Vitamin D supplement in my daily vitamins consumption. I know I'm a little kiasu but I've just reach 30s, need to be more vigilant ! That's all for now!

My favorite Veg!

Tried Vanquish & Shock Wave for my cellulite & fat tummy

It's been eleven days since I started on panbesy, duromine & fat burner garbaslim. I was advised by some online friends not to weigh myself, as it might drive me crazy :). I listen to their 'wisdom' but today as I put on my favorite tight skirt, I notice it's not that tight anymore! Happiness !!!

I do not have a weighing machine, so I drop by Dr Keith's clinic to weigh myself- it's close by. I've gone down by 3kg! Can you imagine????  I'll look perfect if not for my tummy which is a little flabby & FAT !!! The sulky nurse said I should try the Vanquish treatment to get rid of my fats & the shock wave treatment to get rid of the cellulite. I look at her, she might be super grumpy but she's certainly skinny, well... I'm very tempted.

Went in to consult with Dr Keith & he explain further. I wont bored you with the details here, as you can find much information online. In the end I decided to give it a try. Bought both the Vanquish & Shock Wave packages. Told you I'm serious about looking better !!! I did some research online, below are the images they have of the results of Vanquish treatment - pretty awesome right?

These are the results of Vanquish I found online

The reason I did the Vanquish treatment is because, it's not painful. In the past I've pass on treatments like liposonix etc...as they are very painful. Anyway as they promise , it's not painful just warm feeling, quite soothing. I literally slept for a while. I was so tired! Hope it works.

By the way I bought more fat-burner, Garbaslim for my other colleagues. What to do, we are a bunch of high-pay-non-exercising types of girls ....lol.... !!!

My visit to Dr Keith Ong's clinic for panbesy, duromine & garbaslim

This is June, half the year's gone, fast! I've decided to do something about my weight. Since the beginning of the year, I've gone up ONE size, can you imagine!????  Drastic times calls for drastic measures.

Google for help. These are the blogs I went to : Here & here & here. Guess what, I've decided to Just Do It- today. The online world recommended Dr Keith Ong's clinic for panbesy or duromine. These 2 weight loss pills are supposedly the most effective & famous slimming pills in the market. Some girls have reported losing 1 kg within a day, others around 5 kg within a month! Well that's good enough for me.

Made appointment & was there on the dot! I like to be puncture. Plus this is important. Dr Keith is very friendly. His staff not so ..... Anyway I had prepared a "speech" to explain why I needed these panbesy. But before I even begin, he's already telling me about what can panbesy & duromine do, the side effects etc etc... I was so grateful for that, my speech was kinda 'corny'...anyways. As it turn out everything went better than planned. I was out in a jiffy, with supplies of everything I could get my hands on! I needed results FAST !!! :)

My haul:
-3, 15mg panbesy
-one month supply of  30mg duromine. Was told if come back within 6 months, they will waive consultation fee.
-a bottle of garbaslim , it's a fat burner. (I think I seriously needed this)
-a Vitamin D jab (this is to boost my metabolism, so it's important)

My bottle of Garbaslim:)

Will review after I see some results, later:)

You are fired !!!!

One of my colleagues Gin was 'ask' to go ...sigh... for those of you who think that we make lots of money, that's the financial world for you. No one is safe these days.  One day you were raking in tons & the next you are out! It's like a sudden death.

Last month she had a sense of things to come & had ask me, do I think she's next? She wants a big sent off with champagne, if it comes to that. "Buried or cremation", we joked - She didn't care how her being is being disposed of, she said. 

Later Gin text me this message: Bury me, freeze me, deep-fry me like KFC & send me to a giant corporate building with a giant corporate sign that reads SCIENCE. Nothing I did here in this company would have any bearing on the path I take in the next one. I sealed my fate 8 years ago when I took up this job! Sealed it & spat on it & locked it in. I never did have much of a sense of direction, but I knew that when I go, I would not be going to any more financial corporations!............ I know she's kinda dramatic, but that's our beloved Gin !!! It could have been me in the future, who knows....

Last night we did give her a big sent off party. What she intend to do now? Well she has a big mortgage, bills to pay,  life goes on. She has experience, & many contacts so it might not be that bad. I hope not. She's a good friend.

Life Lessons: The people with the power are never the most useful. Never.

I'm still learning how to function productively as a person, and am always surprised when things I should already know about how I should live are reaffirmed. So here you go guys, my best tips on the philosophy of living, garnered from 3 decades of haphazard living:

-treat everything like a job. No, not with distain and reluctance, but as if you are getting paid (at least somewhat decently). Including dating, making friends, calling your mother. I am a terrible daughter.

-always take the lead. Group inertia is the worst. People just look around hoping that someone else will tell them what to do, or make the decision. And you rationalize it because, "I'm the most junior" or "I'm new" or whatever. It's dumb, and people will always appreciate it when you make that effort to not be the lemming.

-never stop networking/hustling. A pity, because I really dislike both of these things. Precisely why I avoid sales/marketing jobs as much as I can. But life is about being a greedy little opportunist, while also throwing out tasty bits of bacon whenever you can to attract the other greedy opportunists, who inevitably will have other tasty morsels that they don't like (cheesecake bites, perhaps? or fruit leather?)

-don't ever ignore the "secretary". The people with the power are never the most useful. Never.

yeah that's all i got right now.

Gangs getting into white collar crimes like bank fraud !

Are you familiar with some popular US,TV series like "Major Crimes" , "Blue Blood"  etc... If you have been following these shows or at least follow the news from the states, you would have a fair idea of the gangs in America. In the past gangs are associated with violent crimes & drugs.  But lately these guys are moving into "bank fraud" !!!!

Very good show !!!

Some have been caught. Allegedly these gang members created & deposited fake checks & then quickly withdrew money from the accounts before the banks (including some big banks) could identify the checks as fake. 

Usually these gangs that TV portray  are usually kinda dumb but the real ones are far from it! Bank fraud & Identity theft requires sophisticated thought process that requires technology & an understanding of the banking system. Also these sort of crimes are much more lucrative , harder to detect & carry lighter prison sentence.

Well as we all know, bad things spread fast. Hmmm.... we are kinda worry this will spread here. So is good to keep your checks properly, away from anyone. Passwords be kept secret. You'll be surprise, according to the news many people are seriously using 123456 as their passwords! Please be cautious!

The oracle

Yesterday I went to the near-by Chinese medical hall to buy some Chinese tonic for soup. My mum loves cooking this kind of soup for us. The boss there always talk to us. Especially to me after I got a job in the financial industry. He's RICH ....haha.... through the years, he's always telling about his triumphs & misses. Yesterday is no exception. But this time around, he was so certain & told me " Shares will rebound tomorrow!!!" & wink ....WOW ... that's good to know.

Only I don't deal with shares:)) Anyway the oracle could be right. For all of your sake, I hope he is. Good Luck guys. And a prosperous year to all !

What to do when market is spiraling down?

Met up with a bunch of friends over the weekend & everyone is complaining about the market -not the wet market people- the financial one. Ya, the market is down, shares are sliding, business is slow. So what do one do?

Nothing! Yes that's what you should do ....NOTHING..... just wait it out. Do you have any other choice?

It's common sense, how can markets go up forever? Unless you want to cut lost, when it's down you just need to be patient, go for a trip, learn something new , read some books or whatever that works for you. And of course stop complaining. It is not going to help & makes everyone including your self feel worst!
