Monday, December 8

Was at 1 Utama to celebrate my birthday. Since it was a public holiday so it was packed with people. Bought the perfume I had been wishing for some time. It's a Christmas gift set: Estee Lauder Pure White Linen Light Breeze Refreshing Duo for RM 160 (worth RM 210). It comes with a 30ml bottle of fragrance and 75ml body lotion. There was a long queue at the cashier, the fact that other cashier on that floor were not open didn't help.

So, that's a birthday present for myself.

Watched 10 promises to my dog (Inu to Watashi no Jyu no Yakusoku). It's a Japanese movie on International Screens at GSC Cinemas. Read about the movie here. It's the first link that came up when I google that movie. By the way, it's a tear-jerker so remember to have tissues near you when you watch the movie.

Had dinner with my family at Korean BBQ Chicken. Must try this place. In 1 Utama, it's located near Subway, new wing.

Listened to Lee Hom's new song, Heartbeat on Youtube. Nice song. No official music video available yet, only a teaser. The link here is for the whole song. I can't wait for his album to come out. Lee Hom rocks!

Spilling it out

Went to The Curve today with Micheal Ooi from Accounting Night Committee. Watched Bolt, it was funny. I like comedies over serious movies but I watch art house films occasionally for a change, you know those movies on International Screens where when you enter the hall, it's like you're the only one who bought ticket for it. Maybe I'm exsagerating.

After the movie, had lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant at The Curve. Since Jonathan recommended it and I trust his taste, since he can be a picky eater. Well I find the food normal, not as good as I expected it to be.

Finally found some time to watch videos on Youtube. Watch David Cook's Light on. I supported David Cook when watching American Idol. I like his style and his voice. And also Beyonce's If I were a boy

If I were a boy...

• I would make promises that I can keep.
• I would tell her how much I love and care for her eventhough I know she knows it because she needs to be assured sometimes.
• I would tell her how much I appreciate her even for the little things she does like making breakfast for me.
• I would make time for her no matter how busy I am.
  
• I will try to understand her, I will listen to her before jumping into conclusions.
• I will compliment her on how she looks because sometimes she needs to hear those from me.
  

That is all I can think of right now.

Watching It's over by Jesse McCartney.

CIMA HQ trip

Went for CIMA HQ trip today, thought that I'll be the only January intake student but was surprised to see my another course mate going for the trip as well. Followed the bus there but went home on my own since I stay so near there.

The office isn't very big but looks comfortable. We had an office tour followed by talks. The first is a sharing session on working experience and the second talk was on EQ. The talks were interesting.

After the talks, since we were all really hungry by then, we headed for lunch. The food was good. I like chocolate cake the most but limited myself to only one piece because I don't want to put on too much weight.

After the trip, I went to 1 Utama which was walking distance from KPMG tower, where the HQ is situated. Window shopped and tried on perfumes. My other objective is to look for free calendar which was unsuccessful because I can't find any. The economy must be really bad that companies are not giving out free gifts to consumer like before.

Happy Black Friday, remember not to overspend!

The Green Bench: A dialogue about Leadership and Change

Been reading this book by Matt Rawlins. It's a good book to read, not too thick and not too hard to understand making it convenient for busy people to read.

It's about Business Management and life. I learned a lot about learning from this book.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Recently...

Last night during CYZ meeting, some mainland a.k.a China Chinese which is the original Chinese said that my mandarin is good. Man, I didn't expect that. All along I thought that my Chinese was just so-so. Maybe it had improved over the years, I didn't speak much mandarin in school because most of my friends speak English so it's kind of weird for me to talk to them in mandarin. In my college, I had more opportunities to speak in mandarin. Anyway, they thought I'm from China. I may look like a Chinese national because of my facial features but I'm Malaysian.

There's a possibility that I might work in China in the future as the world is getting flatter and flatter and China is rising up. Being able to speak mandarin fluently would be a plus. I might also want to travel in China, depending on whether I have the money or not.

New on Gmail is that now you can beautify the look and feel of your inbox. There's over 30 colors and themes to choose from. I chose Graffiti because I think graffiti is an art.
