…the difference between…
People who look silly, but say or do things with their hearts. Their simplicity and honesty may even seem foolish to the smart, the shrewd and the cynics. But the things they do, move you to tears.
Versus…
Those who "look" real. Whose words both spoken and written, exude wisdom and gallantry. Who’s always composed and self-assured. But in the end – their actions just don’t measure up.
Pity.
I need to remember to not take things at face value anymore. (at my age, it’s past high time I knew this!!)
I have been foolish, and I’ve paid my dues (well.. most of ‘em anyways. N for those that I haven’t, I ask God for his pardon). But at least I have never been anything other than sincere.
Peace. 
If you use a Credit card, take note (if you don’t already know this)… you DON’T HAVE TO PAY Annual Fees.
We all know that certain banks, I can’t mention which ones (for obvious reasons) offers FREE FOR LIFE credit card services. Ie no annual fees for life.
But for some other “more exclusive” banks, they still charge you the annual fees. But don’t just keep quiet and pay. Why should you pay them for using their cards, when everytime you spend, these banks get paid by Visa/Master and the merchants maybe?!! In fact, these banks should be the ones offering you perks to opt using their cards!
Well, for the past 6yrs, I have been calling my bank (sorry must omit bank names) before the annual fees were due, to request for waivers – and I haven’t been paying annual fees since.
Just today, I recd my cc statement and my ears froze when I saw the RM160 debited to my bill. Shucks! I forgot to call the CC customer service before my annual fees were due! Anyway, I immediately picked up the phone and called 1300 ## ####, said I “wanted to request for waiver and that it’s actually already billed.” The CS person says, “No problem, maam. You’ll see it credited back to your account in the next statement.” Not even a single question asked. Didn’t even say somethin like he/she have to check or submit for approval! It’s like, if you keep quiet – you PAY. If you ask, you get (waiver).
So there. If you already know this. Good for you. You save some money every year. If you didn’t know this before.. go make the call. No harm trying. Nothing to lose. Some hard-earned money to save.
And this is Penang last week vs this week. Clear vs Hazy…. Komtar – now u see it, now u don’t…
If you have to "pak thor", do it indoors…
Kids wanna go playground? Go Tesco… (indoor playground)
The air is really bad…
Take care, y’all
I’m supposed to go K-ing at Rbox this Thurs nite with friends. And then, I hear this eerie story about room 52…..
Version 1 I heard last week:
A group of customers (who used Room52) were arguing with Rbox employees that they were over-charged by 1 pax. Rbox employees insisted they counted right. After much dispute, Rbox emp got pissed and said, “ok, u want proof, I show u video clip.” …………………… Indeed, they all see that extra person sitting there throughout the whole session, and none of the group were aware of this “extra member”. Thereafter, the room is closed.
Version 2 I heard over lunch just now:
A group were celebrating someone’s birthday in room 52. When they reviewed the pics later, they found an “extra member” sitting by the side. A lady, dressed in all white.
If this rumour is true, and they’ve really closed room 52,…. I wonder what makes them think that “special guest” won’t just move around to any other room (?).
Shucks! Now I’m having 2nd thoughts of going. If I go, definitely want to car-pool and restroom-pool. Ggggerrrr! *shivering*
Today is an auspicious day. So I’ll just drop a short post no matter what. 
A short message to a close friend of mine, for the shortest time. Even if we are no longer friends like before, I have this to say….
I’m very happy for you, for all the wonderful things that’s happening in your life right now. I was sure this day will come. (I told you so, remember?) You finally see the colors of the rainbow, eh. I hope all these things last and get even better. I’m sure they will, cos I believe you have it in you to go all the way. Just be true to your heart and happiness will always be there with you. Despite whatever whatever whatever…., thank you for the friendship. And know that some of these good things that’s happening now, may be partially a result of my continous prayers which usually have a line or 2 dedicated for you. (tryin to steal some credit …. for God lah.)
It doesn’t matter if you’ll never find your way to this post. Just…. God bless you and I wish the best for you.
Laugh until there’s no more blood on my face!
