My Desktop View

This easy tag comes from Lemonjude, asking to show my my desktop view. Well, since I am working at the moment, so I'll show all of you my desktop view at my workplace hehehe....

As you can see, it is rather blant. Sigh... what to do. It's an office PC and we are not allow to change anything to the desktop picture. In the middle of my office desktop is the company E-Telephone directory. And all the icons you see at the left side are my working documents and some are my personal documents. Below there, at the task bar there are a few programmes running. I am very particular of how those programme is arranged on my task bar. All the time I will open my Microsoft Outlook e-mail programme first (so that it is always on the left most place), then the second one after my Outlook is mrStudio programme where I do all my programming work. After that would be a few Internet Explorer which I open for browsing other website like PPP or friend's blog (in no particular order). Occasionally there would be some msn pop up window chatting with friends or colleagues while working hehehe....

Now do share with me what you desktop looks like...

Ski Holiday in Europe

Watching English movies especially during Christmas time has always been a great amusement for me because I can usually see nice holiday scenery with white snow covering a picturesque movie backdrop. I also enjoys watching characters in the movie where people played with snow or go skiing as a holiday retreat. We do not have snow in our country but it is a nice feeling imagining how it is like. I have heard of the amount of fun you will get by going for ski holiday in Europe countries. There are places like Courchevel, France or St Anton, Austria or Verbier, Switzerland among others that you can choose from. It would be nice if can go for Luxury Skiing holidays with family and friends. Searching through the internet, you can find many website offering luxury ski chalets for your stay in your favourite skiing destinations. If you plan to go to Meribel, France for holiday, you can easily find a nice luxury ski chalets in Meribel at the SuperTravel website.

Discrimations!!!

I know there are discriminations practically everywhere in the world. Since in my childhood years, I have always avoid being discriminated whenever I could. During schooling years, we usually will experience or witness any form of discriminations in school. It is the place where we most probably learn what it means to be discriminated. In Malaysia, Malay teachers favours Malay students, Chinese teachers favours Chinese students and Indian teachers favours Indian students hence theachers may give a better grades for students in their same race and the rest got discriminated just because they are in a different race. This is usually the case. If it is not severe, we might not notice it that much because it happens all the time. When we were young and innocent, we tend to accept the fact of what's happening although we know discriminations is not right.

I think most of us had our own experience of being discriminated if not in adult life, then it must be from our childhood life whether we can still remember it or not. Sad to say, it has become a part and parcel of life. Discrimating society exist when we were young and it was being brought up when we were older. It happens in school and it happens at the work place. Once my mom told me about her colleague who is a non-malay top senior management staff at her office got pulled out from whatever ideas he gave during their meetings. He is the one who always gave all those brilliant ideas in the meeting until one day, the CEO called him to his office. The CEO told him that he do not have to say all his ideas out during meetings because he is a non-malay and no one will listen or take any action to consider implementing his ideas even though it is good and relevant. That's what the CEO told the senior top management level personel who is my mom's colleague. Although my mom's colleague is highly qualified in his field of specialties and has the right accademic qualifications, the position he held there at the public company is always limited. This is DISCRIMINATION!!! If you are a Malaysian, I think you would have guessed what race the CEO of the company is by now.

I remember when I was in primary school, some of my friends who are smarter will somehow discriminate those students who are less intelligent in the "last grade class" by not being friends with them and calling them names. And those rich or famous group of friends will always group up together and if they have any activities, they will exclude out those not in their "group". As childred learns from their surroundings and follow the example of the adult people, do we want to instill this kind of discriminating ways of living into our children's mind? The worst thing is sometimes discrimination even happens in our own home. If you, as a parent portray an act of discrimination to your own children, what a shame.... and it's truly a sad, sad thing to know. If you discriminates others, one day you'll be discriminated too. What goes around usually comes around.

Online Bidding Game

Long, long time ago people goes to auction event to buy or sell goods by offering them up through bidding process. The winning bidder (which bid the highest price) will be the one able to purchase the bided item from the seller who put the item on auction. It is believed that auction event has already started since 500 B.C.

Bidding for items has already long evolved from the old fashion ways of going to the auction house to bidding for items online. No matter which one you goes to, all of them requires you to be the highest bidder to win. And if you win, you'll have to pay the exact amount of money that you have bided.

The Age That I Wish To Go Back To

I wish to go back to the time where I am just 22 years old. Why I choose this age? Well, because at this age, I would not be too young and not too old to do anything I want. At this age is were I had already finished all the horrible exams and it is the year that I do not need to go for anymore schooling because I have just gotten my Degree (not intend to do any further studies anymore). I love the feeling of freedom and care-free feeling I felt back then.

Another reason why I choose to be at age 22 again is because during that time it was the time where I have just started venturing into working adult world. It was scary and I wish I had more confidence in myself to choose a good career back then. I had a good career now but I wish I have started it earlier so maybe I could have found a much better pay job by now.

At age 22 is also where I have started doing a lot of mistakes in life, in terms of career choice, relationship and spiritual walk with God. There are a lot of wrong turn started coming into my life at that age. Most people choose to go back to their most happy times of their life. But for me, I choose to go back to the time where is the starting point of things went wrong in my life because I wish to be able to change the way it was. Anyhow, I believe everything are God's sovereign plan and He has a reason for everything happen the way it is. Without trial and errors, how can we become a better person eh?

Now I would like my friends to share theirs:

Dinner with Grandma ~ 21-07-07

Last Friday we went out for dinner together with my Grandma (Dad's side). She is here in KL, visiting my aunties and uncles. After work, my brother came and fetch me from Mid Valley and we went to Damansara (to my aunty's house) from there. Both me and my brother wasn't sure of the way and we got lost. With much hassle calling my dad for directions, at last my brother found the condo by himself.

My aunty and uncle was not home yet, so my dad brought us out for dinner at a chinese restaurant somewhere in PJ. There were six of us including my cousins. I've forgotten the name of the restaurant. It serves very nice chinese food. Apparently, Adrienne (we all call her Apple) wanted to have the 'Curry phai kuat' that's why we went to that restaurant in the first place. But the dish were out of stock when we made our order. Hmm... Apple was kind of disappointed. I've never tried 'Curry phai kuat' before and it's one of the restaurant's famous dish.

After dinner, we went back to my aunty's house to play chor tai di and have some fruits for dissert and some delicious soup. When we were about to leave, my anuty and uncle just came home hence we stay there a while longer as my dad and sister were busy chatting there with my aunt. Overall, I enjoyed my evening with my cousins there.

Weired, eerie dream

I had my flu medicine taken before sleep yesterday night. And it really make me groggy this morning. But the good thing is, after taking the medicine I had a really deep sleep at night. I can't even hear my handphone receive a message. I think if a thief breaks in also I won't know. Haha...

Right before my alarm clock sounded, I had a very weired and eerie dream. I dreamt that I was being invited to have dinner at someone's house. Seems like I know the house owner also. There's only a couple living in that house. I was there sitting in their dining table together with another girl which I sort of know her also. So, there's four of us on the dining table. It was a rectangle table with white table top, four plates, four sets of fork & knife, a small varse with flower.

Suddently, out of now where the male house owner brought a few months old baby and put it on the centre on the table. And he was holding a big chopping knife on his right hand. I was stunned~ The baby was so cute lying down there cooing. Then the male house owner slowly cut open the baby's chest and then the baby stated crying and a short seconds later, there were cry no more. I was sitting there watching it happening right in front of me...evern more stunned~ Then my alarm clock rang and it's time for me to wake up for work. Yucks!!! That baby was supposed to be our dinner for that night. Very weired dream I had this morning.

Smorty here I come

Hehehe... I was so happy this morning when I login to my mail box and found the reply from Smorty on my blog approval. I send them for apporval again after being rejected the first time last month because of not having enough Google indexed page to qualified for approval. Yay! My blog is now being approved and I can start earning more extra pocket money for writing sponsored post. A sure add on to my get paid to blog quest!

Well, I am really very eager to join Smorty because they have advertisers who offer quite a good pay for bloggers, so I heard. And mind you, it's quite hard to get approval (especially for new bloggers) from Smorty because of the high quality standard they set. This high quality standard is also good because it will ensure they have good quality bloggers to gain more advertiser's trust and confidence on Smorty. If advertisers are happy, they will give more opportunity to Smorty bloggers and we, as bloggers can have more opportunities to earn some pocket money on top of our own personal interest on having our own blog of course.
