OL addiction

As I am officially an OL now, I am getting addicted to heels and bags.
These are the two most important items if you want to make a difference in your relatively boring office look. :)

Heels have the amazing power of demonstrating both your corporate strength and feminine side, while carrying a good bag is like showcasing your taste, attracting the envious looks of other females.
We, women, are crazy creatures - yes that's the universal truth.

Long story short - my recent favorites:

Heels from Charles and Keith - affordable taste!!
I bought two pairs of them within two weeks. Yes I am now burried in guilt, without complaints though. :p

My next target:


Gucci latest collection:

Forever Superstar Shopper Bag
by Fendi

:)

Sunsweet prunes - keep the doctors away!

As I was gobbling down every Malaysian food I can find since I came back, I have literally got myself into deep shit.

Qian's food equation:
Asam Laksa + Curry Laksa + Pan Mee + Seafood + Tomyam = constipation.
*shy*
I prefer to phrase it as...ahem.. irritated bowel.

So I went to the doctor that day.
And to my surprise, for one single sickness, she actually prescribed me five types of medicine.
One for 'angin' (direct translation: wind), one for 'sakit perut (stomach pain), one for 'fibre', and one for 'digestion'.
As for last one which looked exactly like charcoal, I forgot what was it for.

I instantly felt like I am one of those old ladies who is having a full package of elderly sicknesses - heart problems, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Consultation and medication cost: RM50++
*ching ching - $ sound*

I have to admit that the yellow and orange tablets were pretty effective.
In fact, TOO effective.
I had to rush to the toilet after every meal.
But once I stopped the medication, the same problem occurred again.

So I felt like a bloated pregnant woman for almost a week.
The difference is instead of a baby, I was carrying a stomach full of ....

Giving up on the idea of seeking for more medication, I decided to head to Jusco for some Sunsweet prunes.
I ate 6 of them.
And just like what you expect - everything is back to normal again.

I feel so light that I think I can fly!!

One can of sunsweet prunes: RM8.90.
You can even have some extra prunes for more Malaysian food.

:)

Quote of the day: why see dr. when you have sunsweet prunes?
Management of sunsweet prunes, if you are searching for a spokesperson...
ME! ME! ME! *eagerly waving my hand*

Title

Figures figures figures.
I am taking ages to process this whole stack of figures in front of me.
Wish that I was aware of the importance of mathematics during my school days.

But perasanly speaking, I think I am quite good at processing information and digging out the insights from any given resources.

So gambate Qian.

On a side note, I am applying for jobs in UK branding consultancy firms.
After working in my dad's company, I believe that some international exposure would do me some good.
But I was just thinking about the title of my current job.

Research consultant? Sounds like I make it up myself.
Consultant? A bit exaggerating.
Boss's daughter? Too honest.
So I ended up with 'researcher'.
And I am looking like a bespectacled nerd now.

Xuan Music Cafe

Queenie brought me to this hidden gem yesterday night - Xuan Music Cafe at Kuchai Lama.
I have always been longing to find a place to relax at night, with some live mandarin music and a quiet environment, a place where you can rejuvenate your body after a whole day of work and reorganise your thoughts.

And I found it last night.
Thanks to my queen.

Guess what? One of the singers is actually a friend of Quin Er. What a coincidence!

If you feel stressed and moody at night, and you are tired of the packed Kopitiams and PapaRich, or afraid of the heat of Malaysia and its hawker stalls - why not walk into Xuan Music Cafe?

Something very Msian Chinese, and I like it~



Back home in Msia

I have been really productive since I came back to Malaysia.
But unlike the past few summers, I am not engaged in tonnes of gatherings and reunions.
Instead, I work!

Well, of course for the first week, I went out with a couple of close friends.
Celebrated Tzuch's birthday was the highlight of the week.
We went for karaoke and popped the party poppers indoor.
I bet the staffs from Redbox cursed us badly that day for messing up the room.
Anywayz, we had fun and that's more important!

From the second week onwards, I started work in dad's office.
Lol. There are still advantages for being the boss's daughter.
For instance, you have no choice but to follow your 'boss's' car to work, and that means, you do not need to be THAT punctual.
And you have to accompany your 'boss' for lunches, and I am here to tell you, there are indeed free lunches in the world.

However, I did my part as well.
Proud to say that I am currently working in the R&D department, which consists of....me and... myself!
LOL. Small small bisnes saja~

Went to Singapore last weekend for shopping spree!!
Ooops nope. That's not the main purpose.
I was there to attend my cousin's wedding. It was a very touching wedding.
But still, in terms of proportion, the trip was mainly about shopping!
What shall I say? Women's nature!
And when four girls plus one woman go on a trip - you simply can't help it!

Tzuch fell sick this week.
Maybe because he missed me too much when I went away to Singapore.
Just joking.
I hope it's not swine flu though.

Pray hard for his interview.
And hopefully he will get a job very soon.
I believe he would.
For the mean time - REST LA!
You had been working all summer, it's not wrong to just stop for a while MR. WORKAHOLIC!

That's all for now!

搬家

今天刚搬家。
从一间大大的庭院式英国住家搬到小小的房间,
确实有一种降级的感觉。
但还好只住一个星期,
过后就上苏格兰找弟弟。
所以将就将就吧!

之前的屋主实在有够可恶的。
我们屋子内外上下都清理得像过年大扫除一样,
她还可以吹毛求疵,硬是要扣我们定金才甘心。
意大利的女人有够泼辣麻烦外加自私。
气!

还好Danny陪了我一整天,
心情好了些许。
看到一只表,好漂亮,可也不便宜。
只有看得份咯。

一定要看DISTRICT 9!
四字形容:另类精彩~

快快成真

肚子好饿
可是冰箱里没东西吃
最近都没什么胃口
正好可以趁机消消大腿赘肉
馋嘴的我是绝对不可能为了身材挨饿
所以既然不想吃,那就太好了!

好想回家哦!
昨天竟然听到一个可怕的消息
说英国的visa有时会耗上几个月的时间
天啊!我岂不是久久都不能回家?
众神明,你们若有眼有耳有鼻,就求求你放我回家吧。

现在是鬼节吧!
网上的综艺节目都在聊灵异事件。
我已经渐渐跟不上华人过时过节的步伐了。
糟糕,落伍了。
鬼节平安!

Danny今天告诉我天大好消息。
说如果护照未到,又没地方住,我们就在英国旅行吧。
我没听错吧。这工作狂要放假?
希望他不放我鸽子才好。

但愿
但愿一切愿望成真。
谢啦!
