I've jumped ship

Hey peeps,

I've jumped ship... finally. I'm now posting in Tumblr.

See you there.

I'm out with the world

I'm hardly out on a weekend. Or at least I'll be home by 10.

Today's special. I'm watching Thor with my colleagues. And being the first to arrive, I'm now standing in a loooong line waiting to collect our tickets (not complaining). It's just.... It's been a while since I've been standing in a long line to collect tickets. I'm a freaking dinosaur...

And right behind me is this lovely kid couple talking about studying for Sejarah. And also complained about their mum calling them to go home. I'm old.

Statement Tees

I just got myself some vouchers to get these (sort of) tees. The promotion, by Groupon, allows us to buy 4 statement tees for RM50 only! That's RM12.50 each. And that's a freaking 41% off (usual price is RM85).

You've got the next 2 days to purchase the coupon people!

Arghhhhhh

Romans 13:7 "Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor."

Even if I grow money on trees, it's inevitable that I have to pay my dues to my country. Today, I fulfilled my duty as a responsible Malaysian. I filed my taxes. And I put a dent to my wallet.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Uniqlo KL

I think I'm going to eat my words when I see my colleague next week.

It all started because my hubby needed to go to Pavilion to sort out some stuff. Then dinner at Michelangelo. And one thing led to another, I was standing in front of Uniqlo @ Fahrenheit 88.

I'm eating my words because just yesterday I told my friend affirmatively that I don't like going to kl and I don't intend to go to Uniqlo in KL. I find it too demanding on myself to go to KL, what more to the busiest road in Malaysia. Uniqlo KL is right smack in the middle of all chaos. I believe I can get better buys from Uniqlo in Singapore. Anyway, I'm so serving my words with sauce...

So, when I got in there, they have my favorite wardrobe pieces, T shirts, on sale. Printed and statement tees are going for RM39.90 only. They've got really nice cropped pants going for RM39 too. Ohh, bother.

IPad 2

My hubby rushed into my meeting with my bosses (we work together) and had a very 'good news' to share. We stopped our discussion and my lovely husband eagerly announced that he has pre-ordered ipad 2. =_="

And then everyone started talking to him about ipad 2. sigh... I want an iPad 2 too...

Aweditorium

I like my music with a lot of drums crashing, guitar strumming and bass tapping. I love rock music. Unfortunately, I can't play the drums nor sing nor even hold a guitar properly. That's why I marry a musician to do it all for me.

Rock lovers and alternative music seekers, here's an app that helps you explore undiscovered talents around. AWEDITORIUM allows you to listen to songs you'll never get in the radio.

Tap on any picture and the song will start playing. And I'm talking about high quality sound and extremely good music. Once the picture is tapped on, it'll brighten up. As you enlarge it, you'll find interesting quotes or information about the band/singer. Some even has lyrics to go with it.






I highly recommend you to plug in a headphone to immense yourself fully into it. And do get yourself an expensive headset as you are looking at listening to over 500 songs for free. Yes, the app is free.

Free Moleskine

My early encounters with Moleskine in my college days left me perplexed. It's unscrupulous to charge so much for a notebook. Quaint it is not. It's probably made of very good quality paper.

And its band made a signature entrance into the world of note taking, pressuring all the other notebook makers to have it in order to keep up with the trend. And that's about it.

And I'm left perplexed, knowing that the price is improper, because I DESIRE for it so much. It's all a marketing hype to say that owning it shows that you have come. And I'm a sucker for all things post modernist.

I once spent an hour in an artshop in bangsar just to stroll and flip through the Moleskines along the aisle. And when I'm in Borders, I make it a point to check them out, hoping that for some odd reason, they'll make it affordable for me. And all my hoping is futile.

Today, I can unquestionably afford a few Moleskines. But if I ever do buy them, I have to be prepared to see my family throwing a fit at me. And if they don't, I would myself. I can never bring myself to spend close to a hundred (in RM) on something that's easily dispensable and basic. I just can't.

And I think Moleskine read my mind because they've come up with an iPad version and I downloaded it for free. <3


I was lost for words when I saw it in the App Store, thinking that this might be a lite version. But as I began to explore it, it is as good as a physical one I can hold in my hands.


This digital version allows me to choose my text size and color. And they do come in lovely hues.


I also get the option of using the ruled line, squared or plain paper. I can draw/sketch (with my fingers) or write (by tapping with my fingers too) on them.






Plus, I get to geotag my notes and post them on my social media accounts.



And all this for FREE.



This is way cooler than the Notes app that comes with iPad. I <3 Moleskine.

Bandolier

I don't know what's in your bags, but I can tell you that I will pull out some pens from mine as assuredly as the conjurer pulls the bunny out from his hat. Given the nature of my work, the pen is my weapon, my tool, my craft. But rummaging my gigantic bag for pens will make me lose half the battle (will most likely to be branded as absent minded, unprofessional and unchic)...

... until I see this simple device on uncrate - the Bandolier. It's a rubber band with 7 slots for pens, pencils, erasers or any whimsical trinkets that's only selling for USD$17. So while i wait for this to reach the shores of malaysia, I'll DIY one using the rubber bands from my skipping rope.
