Drawing A Line

Recently, there's someone I know who tried to sell me something for the second time. I was not amused because I had already turned him down giving my reasons. I said that if he could not offer me a better deal than what I have now, I see no reason to change to his service even if I am a tad unhappy with the service I am currently using.

I guess some people never give up. I treat him as a friend but with his hard selling, I wonder if I am a friend to him or just a sales target. I know times are tough and everyone is trying to make an extra buck here and there but does that mean that he has to continue with his sales talk every chance he has?

I really don't mind giving him the business IF he could give me a better deal, like I said, and I am talking about better in terms of price AND service. At this point, I really see NO reason whatsoever how I could change my provider when his price is almost 200% higher than I am getting now. PLUS, judging from complaints of his own product, I don't think his service is any better than what I have now.

Old Jeans

I am not sure how much weight I loss since Snoopy fell ill because we do not have a weighing scale at home but I know that it is considerable. My father lost 3kg in a month and I put in a whole lot more time and energy taking care of Snoopy than him.

Those who are unaware of what is happening at home may think that I have finally found a diet pill that works! I am not going on a diet but just lost weight due to stress and lack of sleep.

I have an old pair of jeans that I could no longer fit but if this drags on, I will be bringing it out to see if I could wear it again. Then I can be sure that I have lost weight! If nothing good comes out of Snoopy’s health condition in the end, at least I have regained a svelte body!

TVB Mega Live Concert Show

Too bad I couldn't get away due to commitments on the home front. I really would love to attend TVB Mega Live Concert Show which will be held at the Arena of Stars in Genting Highlands on 11th July, 2009.

This concert is a joint effort by TVB, Astro and Magnum and will feature TVB and Astro stars like Bosco Wong, Myolie Wu, Ron Ng, King Kong, Vivian Yeo, Yen Wan Chean, Andrew Tan and Tate Chan Kok Fai.

Although I am not familiar with the local stars since I am not subscribed to Wah Lai Toi on Astro, I definitely would love to see Ron Ng perform even though I am not a great fan. He looked great in Emergency Unit (E.U.) nonetheless!

Magnum is giving away free tickets. I am not sure if Astro is as well. So, we just need to pay for our transport up to Genting Highlands. Sigh... if only I could go!

Home Furnishing Packages

I am thinking of changing new furniture at home and while searching, came across a furniture store that offers home furnishing packages at a very reasonable price. I think they are smart in the sense that they have grouped together pieces of furniture in these packages and homeowners would get sets of furniture for each room in the house.

The packages, that come in different prices, would include tv stands and display racks for the living room, bedroom sets for the master bedroom and second bedroom and dining set for the dining room.

See, if you have a house that needs new furniture, buying a package will already have most of your house furnished! I plan to get one of these packages later, probably when I have my own house.

Bag Of Bones

I read in the news that at the time of Michael Jackson's death, he only weighed a mere 112 pounds. That's actually a good weight, but only for women! Really, isn't it surprising? When he was all dressed up and in make up in public, we could hardly tell. But I also read that those who were close to him, who hugged him, could feel like he was only a bag of bones.

The death of Michael Jackson is a pity and certainly could have been avoided. Here was a man, and I am not saying that Kings of Pop don't die, who had lost control of his own life, who may have been addicted to substances that if given proper attention, he could be free from. But no, people treated him like a cash cow puppet, pushing him to his limits and as we could see, drove him to his death.

Not Comfortable In His Skin

My friend, S, who is like a small hippopotamus due to his ever increasing size may swear that he is comfortable in his skin but if so, how come I caught him reading lipofuze reviews online?

You know, I certainly think he needs help and I guess he knows as well, yet he refuses to admit it, at least he is not looking for help openly. I think it's a pity as many of us have probably experienced something similar like what he is facing now and we could share information with him and support his endeavors in slimming down.

Since he doesn't admit openly to his friends that he would like to have a slimmer body, it certainly has become a sensitive issue when it comes to talking about weight!

Breaking Tradition

This year, for my penpal Mark's birthday on 4th of July, for the first time since 1991, I will not be able to write him a “real” letter, and send it along with a birthday card and gift like I have been doing all these years.

I feel very bad, of course, though I would still email him and perhaps send him a free virtual birthday ecard but this isn't the same and lack personal touch.

I know that even though I did not step out of the house since Snoopy fell ill on 19th May, 2009, hence am not able to shop for a birthday gift, I could still send a self-made birthday gift but I don't even have time to sleep, to work, to shit, basically I can't come up with any ideas!

Besides, I really don't like to impose on other people to send out my personal letter.
