现代

想起小学时和邻居一起在沙堆“爬山”；
想起中秋节时和邻居一起建的“木屋”，甚至还不怕死在“木屋”里点满了蜡烛;
想起傍晚时和邻居一起玩masak-masak；
想起和邻居一起打弹珠的日子；
想起和邻居一起学骑脚车的日子；

现在，又有多少人会和邻居一起爬上爬下，有多少父母会放心让孩子和“不认识”的人一起，尤其是我现在所处的“大城市”。说真的，我连我连邻居是什么种族的人都还没搞清楚呢~

以前我们玩masak-masak会自己找砖块，自己建火炉，自己生火，自己找可以当锅的东西，然后拿叶子来炒。我甚至还会偷妈妈的油盐酱醋，有样学样的煮起饭来。傍晚时间一到，就会听到小孩的笑声、叫声，然后大家就冲出去一起玩，一直到晚饭时间。

现在的孩子，自己一个人在冷冰冰的地板玩着plastic做的厨具。再不然就拿着妈妈的化妆品有样学样的学化妆，学搽指甲油。没化妆品玩了，就玩电脑，玩电话。现在小孩玩的游戏，永远都离不开“科技”两个字。

现在的宅男宅女越来越多，他们大多时候就只待在自己的房里，对着电脑，对着虚拟的世界做梦，把自己幻想成大英雄，万人迷。有很多很多我认识的人，在网络上反而多话讲，一见到面就变一个人，完全不知道该说什么，最后又缩回自己的“城堡”里，因为那里最安全。

不是说网络游戏不好，我自己也很迷、很爱。可是完全陷入网络的世界，而忽略了身边的朋友、亲人，对不起，我做不到。就算是在网络上，我也是抱着一种交朋友的心态，网络上的人也是人，当然也能作朋友。但，我决不会只交网络上的朋友。如果你能在网络上找到自己，为什么不要试着走出人群，另外找一片天呢？

科技的发明是为了让人们有更方便的生活，不是让人与人之间越隔越远，更不是一个逃避的管道。

Shopaholic

I have recently turned myself into a shopaholic, which is really bad. The amount of money that I have spend in the past week is close to RM2500. >_<

First, I have spend RM300 to cut + perm + colour + treatment for my hair. For those of you who have my fb account, I am sure that you have seen it, but anyhow here is one of them. ^^



On this coming Friday, I am still going to perm it and make it more fluff, so looking forward to see it!! ^^

Then, I brought a new Estee Lauder Cleanser.



Last Saturday, I have at One Utama with my cousin to purchase presents f0r her mother-in-law. After purchasing this really pleasant bag from Charles and Keith, we moved on to Estee Lauder to buy her mother-in-law a Serum.

Just randomly I decided to check the price of the cleanser, wanting to know how far more am I to purchase the product from Estee Lauder. I actually expected the cleanser to be hundred plus close to two hundreds. Never did I know that it is only RM95!! I always have the perception that Estee Lauder is like the super expensive brand.

If you are like me, already am using cleansing product like Bioterm, Clinique (which price also ranged from RM75 - RM100), might as well you just use Estee Lauder. My skin just feels so smooth after cleaning!

The best thing of all is that with our above RM350 purchase (My cousin's serum and my cleanser), it also entitled me the following FREE samples.


The smaller version of Nutritious Purifying 2-in-1 Foam Cleanser (15ml) - which I can use it when I go for gym or when I travel. (*^_^*)



Nutritious Vita-Mineral Radiance Essence (30ml)



Nutritious Vita-Mineral Moisture Gel Creme (45ml)



Nutritious Vita-Mineral Infusing Eye Gel (5ml)

Another word, I am only spending RM95 to get the whole range of product! Isn't that really good?!! Although it is sample packs, it actually can last really long, especially the moisturizer and eye gel, it can at least last me for months!! The texture is so fine and I can barely feel anything after applying it! In short, it is just simply awesome and I am now so in love with Estee Lauder!! You may consider trying it if you are interested.

Knowing that you won't be able to purchase up to RM350? No worries, here is another solution for you!

I was reading Cheesie's blog and she introduced this online shopping website that is called Best Buy World. It sells all the premium products (Cosmetics, Fragrances, Underwear, Bags, Accessories, Fitness, Gift Set) at 50% - 90% cheaper than the market price.

For cosmetics, no worries about it being genuine products, according to Chessie, she has checked and ensures that it is all genuine products. Go have a look at Best Buy World and you might find something that you like there. ^^

Good things are meant to share with friends. ^^

I have also purchased a pair of black stripe high hues from nose for RM73.90, which to me are also a good deal. As I am wearing high hues almost every day, having a good pair of shoes becoming absolutely important. And trust me, the pair of shoes that I get from shoes is superb!

Last but not least, I finally had gotten myself a new laptop, which costs RM2099. I am paying by installment, of course. After dividing to 12 months, I am paying roughly RM175 each month.

Confirmation

At last, I have received my confirmation letter. (*^_^*)

Reasons of my happiness:

1. Everything is finally confirmed in black and white.
2. Instead of six months, I was confirmed in my four and half months.
3. The proposed salary is approved too! I must say that the salary is much higher than what I would have expected when I first joined TOA.

Congratulations to me!! Yeah!!!

The below email was sent 10 minutes ago to Miss Joanne and cc to PIC of Customer Service Department, Sales & Marketing Department, Investor Relations Department, and also HQ.

I wished to cc to the Director of the company as well, so that he would know that this is the kind of service given by his staff.

No wonder that the reputation of LBS has been dropping like nobody business.

If he doesn't do anything, I do not think that his company will get anywhere further.

Not that I have anything against LBS previously, but sadly, now I do.

Dear Joanne,

As spoken, we hope you will understand that it is very difficult for us to trace back the receipt for December rental especially that it has been FOUR months since we moved out from Bayu Puteri, B-17-11.

We hope you still remember that we did not received any official letter from LBS informing us that the house is selling and the last month rental will be contra, and thus we bank in the rental and I have email the receipt to you in Mid December. After speaking to you, I tried to trace back the receipt through the online banking account. Unfortunately, I couldn't do so as the transaction history is only kept up to 2 months.

Mind you that it will be very unreasonable for us to get back RM2420 instead of RM3820. Therefore, I hope that you can try to check with Account Department again on the payment. If Account Department also insists that we did not make our payment, we hope that evidence can be provided from LBS.

Despite everything above, please take note that my housemates and I are starting to lose our patience after continuously waiting for our deposit for more than FOUR months. It might be a small amount for your company, but it meant a lot to all of us. To be honest, it is overly
ridiculous for an established company like LBS to take more than FOUR months to disburse a cheque. And so, I wish that you can bank in the cheque of RM2420 to me by this week.

Otherwise, we are forced to bring both of these matters to the media and also to take legal action, based on our contract with LBS.

I hope you will take this seriously. Please call me if you need any further clarification.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Regards,

Kimmie @ Li Yun
