My Fluffy Life~

Every time I was on my holiday or get a chance to travel to somewhere new, I never fails to bring back souvenirs for my families and friends.

I always buy something for my family, even though we can get it back home.  Perhaps I learn it from my mother. She always brings back a lot of stuffs for us when she travels and it makes us feel happy. It makes me feel happy to buy some gift for them too, to see them happy to receive it.Nevertheless, I also buy souvenirs for my friends.

There are many people to buy for; my hometown/childhood friends, my housemates, some of my ex-coursemates and my current colleagues and even some of the ex-colleagues. So, they are many people that I have to buy for but I am doing this willingly as I want them to be remembered when I am away and most importantly, I want to make them happy.

Most of the time, I try to buy some food stuffs and snacks for them to try to. So, overall, I would have spent quite much on souvenirs and gifts and not to mention, carry all of them back!Finding a souvenir is not easy, as sometimes you do not know what they like or sometimes it is just too expensive to be afforded.

Sometimes I just get something simple, like a nice keychain or a magnet for friends. Or something more special for closer friends, like perfume or T-shirts or even a crystal bracelet.But it is disappointing when the respond that I got was “That’s all only arr?” when I give them the souvenirs.

One can at least say thank you for the souvenirs that has been given instead of such sneer and unappreciative remark.Just keep in mind that it is not their obligation to get you something while they are on away, and they probably have spent much more than they should.

After all, it’s the thought that counts.

Tea time is my second favorite meal, the first being the breakfast. I guess I just like light meals where you don’t have the pressure to eat right or finding something heavy enough to eat.

But too bad, I couldn’t have my caffeine fix during tea time or else I’ll be suffering from insomnia the very night.  Normally I would have some biscuits, fruits, yogurt, junk foods or anything that I can reach for. 

Today I have been very good, or so I felt! I had 2 whole meal biscuits from Iko and fresh milk for tea time! I hope I could have more healthy meals so I can keep my acne under control. Most of the time I just couldn’t resist eating spicy and fried food. And the next thing I know, I need another acne treatment to fight all those break out! 

Well, more fruits and vegetables for me from now on! I hope I can keep it up! =)

I saw an ex-colleague today during lunch time. I haven’t been seeing her for quite a while since she last resigned in my previous company, probably a year or so ago.

As we walked passed each other, we instantly recognized and stopped by for a quick chat amidst the crowds going for lunch at KL Central. 

She remarked on how much weight I have lost. Did I take weight loss pill? At that instant, I didn’t know how to reply her. I just replied, umm, yeah. Do I defend myself or what? She is just being honest. She looks pretty good, and I didn’t have a chance to tell her. I was rather tounge-tied but quite happy to see a familiar face when the world doesn’t look quite cheery on a Monday.

I felt that I am losing my weight too. Not that I always have normal weight but somehow I feel skinny as I always been when I grew up.

It could be of my new pair of jeans that are a little too loose for me. Or perhaps the long sleeve top makes me appear skinnier.

Or perhaps I really need to gain a few pounds, seriously.

Do I like being thin? I don’t know. Its not that I got a choice to make. I am just thin, since young. I never have to worry how much food I can eat or if it is too much calories.

But sometimes people just assumed that I want to be so thin. Or think that I am just starving myself to be thin to look good, which is not fair. Or they just envy me being thin but it’s not as good as they thought.

Thin people have their problem too. Do they? Yes. It is difficult to find a pair of jeans that fits u nicely. Coz u dun have enough flesh to fill it up, anywhere. Almost too many clothes look like as if they are hanging over your body, instead of you wearing them.

Thin doesn’t mean healthy. It could mean otherwise.

One good thing though, u never did really outgrown

your clothes. I can wear my same skirt I have 10 years ago, or was it 11 years? And yeah, so I have lots of old clothes which I had accumulated throughout the years and didn’t throw though it is out of style and old coz I still can wear it, if I ever choose to do so, but I almost never did.

Which is not so good after all. I need to throw some or give them away.

Too much clutters.             

Yeah, so being thin is fine. It’s not great or bad. But it’s alright.  

I am not a makeup-person. I don’t even have a complete set of makeup kits to begin; only owning a few pieces of makeup from various brands (some really cheap brand) that I bought over the pharmacy now and then. I do not know how to apply nicely and normally after applying, it doesn’t last long.  Â


Except for curling my eye lashes and a dab of Vaseline + lipstick (that would vanish soon after my breakfast) in the morning and occasionally some face powder, I set off to work.

Today after reading a pretty blogger blog, I am tempted to some proper makeup from Benefit! After much browsing in their website, I think I really like this one (Benefit 10 Palette) :

Product Description:This powder duo bronzes & highlights in one sexy sweep to give you sleek, sculpted cheekbones. We’ve chosen two seductive shades for lips & complimentary shades for your eyes. We like to call it “sexy to the max.” Limited edition.


Will try to search it in KLCC Parkson at lunch time~  ^.^
 
 

With so many credit cards in the market, I am really spoilt with choices on getting one that is suitable for me. I remembered when I was applying for my first credit card; I applied for the one that waived my annual fees for 3 years. 

3 years down the track, I am thinking of switching to another credit card with good credit rewards. After all I do have very good credit history and I can choose the one that offer me the best rewards based on my lifestyle. 

For a start, knowing that credit card rewards can be divided into two categories; cash back programs or rewards programs. Cash back program is rather straight forward where for every purchase; you get back a fix percentage rebate on the amount that you spend. It is usually 1% but can be even higher for certain cases which are up to whopping 10%! 

Rewards program are based on points collected when the customer use the credit cards. There are reward programs for frequent flyers, retails, investment and even auto rewards. 

So, which type of credit cards am I going to pick? Well, I guess I need more info which I can find at http://www.creditroom.com and then I’ll decide the one that will let me enjoy the maximum rewards!

Working is indeed very tiring. I don’t understand why we have to work five days a week and only have two days of work. Wouldn’t the world (at least employees will agree) will be a better place if we only need to work 4 days a week.
My eyes are so strained from facing the monitor screen so many hours a week. It doesn’t help to have limited computer memory that slows down my computer speeds and hinder me from doing my work faster.

Geez.. I am just so glad that tomorrow will be Friday again and I’ll have my two days of rest soon! Ahh.. weekend!

As all my siblings are working in the city, it makes me worry about my parents who were living on their own in the hometown. Well, they are not young anymore and I believe sometimes they will feel bored as we are away in the city most of the time. We only go back once or at the most, twice in a month which is really not often enough. 

When my brother announced that he will be based in the hometown for his work, I was really elated! At least someone will be home with my parents most of the time and take care of them. I wasn’t sure if he really meant it till I saw moving trucks shifting his stuffs in the city back to the hometown! Yay!
 

At least I can worry less about my parents now. =) 

With the growing groceries prices and petrol hike, I am scratching my head to come out with a new monthly financial budget for myself. I couldn’t go shopping and splurge on some fancy clothes that I used to. I am feeling more pathetic now that the mechanic told me that I have to change some parts in my car when it to service on Wednesday. I can only be thankful that it is not as expensive as a Ferrari parts or else I’ll be living on instant noodle for the next month!

Yesterday night I went to grocery shopping with my housemate as we need to stock up our foods and some household necessities. To my surprise, I found out that a lot of prices have gone up quite drastically! Some of the prices have gone up as high as 20% to 30% of the usual prices even for basic items like yogurt and toilet roll. It makes me think if I should still get the air o swiss humidifiers that I have been eyeing for a week now. With the economy getting worse, I hope the company will review our pay accordingly or else I would have tighter budget now. =)

It is amazing how credit cards have been replacing the normal transaction of cash as it is more convenient and fast.I love using my credit cards which means I could get to collect points to redeem for gift at the end of the year.

But the thing that I really hate about my credit card is the annual fees which keep coming every year. I just hope I can waive it for onceand all. Thus, I am looking for a no fee credit card that ends all my troubles.

At Credit-land website, I could find a list of credit cards with no annual fee, best balance transfer deal and even best frequent flyers! Not to mention they also offer best gas credit products as well as cash back rewards.

There is indeed a variety of credit cards to cater for different individual needs. Do check out which credit cards are suitable for your lifestyle and maximise your rewards!
