Hair or no hair

I was at the mall two days ago during the afternoon, when a man approached me with a brochure. He look kind enough, but was pretty insisting at the very minute he saw me trying hard to shovel me with any chance he can get to promote the product.

" Hello boss, would you like to try out free hair care consultation. It wouldn't take long one", he uttered.

"No thanks, there is not need for that, I will consider it first", I said.

 The salesperson got uncomfortably closer while trying to get my attention.

I stood my ground and while the man shoot at me a very disgruntled look at me (and probably cursing at me) for not giving him any chance and my time at all

I told him with a smile, "I will keep the brochure and will consider it and will come back if I need your services".

Thank goodness my hundreds of ringgit is still intact. On another note, I want to claim the words of Aging Gracefully as honest as possible. So if I go on in life without hair on my head so be it. Can't think of anything more trivial than to worry about hair lost and spend hundreds of ringgit on regaining your hair but neglecting on trying your best to be  an honest and non hypocritical living human being that has more beautiful qualities like empathy , loving and caring towards other human being on earth. Trying to hard on this end will make you seem superficial when in fact you are not.

armless rest at the movies

Getting ready to watch Hangover 3 with a friend at Golden Screen Cinemas located at Aeon Shopping Mall, Malacca.
A while waiting for the movie, we got seated, and as my friend wanted to rest her arms, she got startled as the arm rest fell off its seat.
And with the picture that was taken above, it proves that Malaysia establishment, the owners of such places will always lack one thing which is maintenance. The though of paying RM10.00 just makes me sick.

1Malaysia Pad

Model Anisa Abdullah showing off the 1Malaysia Pad, which was unveiled during a soft launch. The developers promise affordable connectivity on the device which they say is on par with those now on the market. The tablet, with a 7-inch screen, will be officially launched next month. — Bernama.

"It was officially unveiled at a soft launch yesterday, promising affordable mobile connectivity on a device which the developers claim was on par with those currently available in the market".

In reality: There must be hidden costs and frequent if not constants reliability problems with the product; for example poor mobile connectivity with very poor quality parts to make the product. I am in doubt with Malaysian made products.
The tablet also comes with a clutch of built-in applications, the most notable being the 1Malaysia Messenger or 1MM app, which offers free messaging between users akin to popular applications such as WhatsApp and Blackberry Messenger.

In reality: Been there, done that. No originality at all with Malaysian's engineers or designers.






Sohaimi said the 1Malaysia Pad will be in the market next month after its official launch by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, at an introductory price of RM999 for the first 5,000 units.
In reality: What on earth!!???!!! RM900 sounds steep for me for a home grown product. Sorry, that is a deal breaker for me.

The tablet comes with two cameras – 3.0 megapixel device at the back and a 0.3 megapixel in the front – WiFi and 3G data capabilities, a Li-Polymer 4000mAH battery and a 32GB micro SD memory card.
In reality: Wow. That is so mediocre. The rest of the world is ages ahead with the specs. A 3.0 megapixel camera is just embarrassing.


Before this, the government provided free tablet size laptop for students of higher learning. A lot of my friends got  it. Initially there was no problems, but months after using it, there are a lot of setbacks ranging from spoiled cable charger, a blank out screen and jam up keys on the keyboard. The damn thing is that, all of my friends they brought their table laptops to the service center had a hard time getting their laptop back. Shitty after service and most of all a damn shitty product. I couldn't care less about this 1Malaysia Pad.

Park the car at the curb

 This lady driver stop by and decided to leave her car on the curb, which obviously she shouldn't be doing because there is a yellow line there. I get it if she wants to get something in a hurry and there  is another driver in there to move the car in case there is someone coming with the summons, but she didn't because after waiting for the bus for a good 40 minutes or so, the car is still there.

We are not dumb, you are!!

Me peeps and I were on our way to town. We are using the public bus as a mean of transportation as it is a cheaper way to go about. We hope into the bus. The bus driver decided to take a break. Not long after that,   passengers started filling in the bus and there were also a group of European tourist( a total of four of them) women.
there were supposed to check in at cheap budget hotel in town called Kota Lodge Hotel at Kota Laksamana.
Supposed to stop before a traffic light at the junction going into Jalan Kota Laksamana.
We supposed to stop at the curb before the traffic light and walk into the  Jalan Kota Laksaman junction to get to the budget hotel


but was caught up due to the fact the the girls got to wear/carry their huge backpack.(is not their fault they carried such big backpacks, they are tourists for goodness sake). The bus driver didn't stop but instead waited at the traffic light. After the traffic light again we decided to come down. I pressed the bell once but the  bus driver never stopped.


The bus driver decided not to stop.Heading towards the mall


After reaching Mahkota Parade Shopping mall. He asked for the bus fees, but i told him my friend had paid him. before I got down he told me this," Kawan-kawan awak itu, bebal lah!!"  (Your friends are such idiots).
I know, an African guy press the button a few times. I pressed it once. We all wanted to get down there and  at the end you called my friend idiot/dumb??
I had to apologize to the European tourist because they had to walk so far if they wanted to get to their lodging. Their plans might have been disrupted too because of that incident. 
I am okay for the fact that the bus driver might be irritated because the bell was pressed many times,  but you didn't even stop for us and we really wanted to get down, but I am pissed  because he called us dumb for no apparent reason. We don't deserved that at all.

Single awareness day

This entry is written in result of the overly hyped and cliche celebration of Valentine's day. Why all the hype when you can celebrate and appreciate your love ones everyday. I think there is two possible reason for this. Valentine's Day is a moneymaking suck money out your pocket day and it's a lazy excuse for those not committed to show love any other day to make it a point they do care on this day (what a douchebag). Are we living in a superficial society that cracks under pressure. Do we need to show love outwardly only with showers of gifts that will put wallets. When those  are not celebrating this day, are we considered emotionally detached homosapiens with conditional love? Is it because out of stinginess. The answer is NO. Valentines day is not only on this day but unconditional and relentless selfless act of love towards everyone you know and cherish on any given day.

Single Awareness day is awesome too don't you think so?
