Tony Leung is in Kepong?
This morning on my way to work, I spotted these buntings in pink shade being hung on the lamp poles along Jalan Segambut. What drawn me to take a second look at it is that the content on the bunting is signed off by 梁朝伟 which is the exact Chinese character of Hong Kong Super Star Tony Leung's name. Check it out!
For the benefit of my friends who can't read Chinese, the text On the bunting goes like this "Lau Hui Min, no matter what happened, I will still wait for you. Trust me! Please stay. Liang Chau Wei". How sweet! But then again, does he mean "You can go now but I will wait for you?" or "Please don't go at all although I will wait for u"? Anyways, only the two person would truly understand what the bunting means.
All the best, Tony Leung! <

B.A.L.I Urban Legend Myth: Breakup After Leave Island
My friends shared with me about this urban legend on Bali. How it started was when a friend of mine shared with us on her upcoming trip to Bali with her bf. She was then warned to change her destination to somewhere else.
Apparently, there is a myth saying that If ones go to Bali as a couple you won’t stay that way when you return. It happened to a few friends of theirs.
I did a bit of googling on it - this is what "happen" - Unmarried couples who frolic in the sand and surf will be cursed and break up when they come back from the trip according to this urban legend.
Well, believe it or not.... It is all up to you. The website I read recommended to take lots of pictures since all those might have soon are merely memories of the relationship.
Thank god the "curse" didn't affect me when we travelled to Bali this year. I was not only married but also heavily pregnant. Haha! I personally still prefer less developed and smaller island.

How Little Things Can Make Big Differences
Without us knowing, 2011 is coming to an end soon. I still remember that we kicked start the year with a stressful trip to Jakarta for a Three-Year Plan meeting for GUESS Watches. It was also a trip where I got to know my CEO better (much better) and I consider that she is my friend, my role model now.
Anyway, as there are so many happenings and always busy with work, family, kids. I tend to give myself excuse for not having enough time to do anything else. Not until my friend - Ms Ho, emailed me about her fund-raising project.
She shared that she visited the house and proposed a charity project for her company. It was unfortunate that the undergo changes in the company has put this fund-raising project on hold. Ms Ho felt bad and certainly shared the sorrow of the house operator that many individuals/company came to visit them and promised them to offer help but many a times it didn't come true.
The house that Ms Ho visited is the Persatuan Penjagaan Kanak-kanak Cacat in Klang. It is a home that provides shelter for more than 70 handicapped children aged between 3 months to 26 with disabilities such as Down Syndrome, Autism, blindness, deafness, muteness and mental retardation.
The children of Persatuan Penjagaan Kanak-kanak Cacat Klang are sent to special schools where they are taught basic reading and writing skills. Those with severe disabilities will stay at home and be taught some basic living skills. The home spends RM3,000 a month on school fees for these children. In addition, RM32,000 is spent every month on household items and food.
She is now raising fund through the sale of home-made gingerbread cookies (She bakes and decorates it). There are 4 gingerbread cookies in a packet which is sold at RM20 each packet.
This photo is for illustration purposes only. The actual Gingerbread cookies may vary depending on the mood of Ms Ho. =)
If you are reading this blog now, I urge for your support to purchase just ONE packet of the
gingerbread cookies. If you can spread the word and get every one of your friend to just buy ONE packet. Ms Ho can then get more donation out of the sales of these cookies.
If you need one more reason to support us - that would be the FULL amount of these cookies purchases is tax-exempted. If I am not wrong, every individual is entitled to a tax exemption on donations up to RM500 per calendar year. If you have not cap it, do it and it means whole lot of difference in the children' everyday life.
To place your order, you need to email it to Ms Ho today. Just list down the no of packet each of your friend wishes to purchase and their respective full name (as per NRIC).
Thanks for your support!

Cops: DJ's family knows man held over mum’s killing
My sister shared this news with me this morning. It was indeed very sad to learn that the mom of MY Radio DJ Royce was stabbed to death by a suspected family friend.
I am sure that it is devastating for anyone to hear such voice. It is kind of a wake-up alarm to me to not "offend" anyone and face every situation in GRACE.
We will never ever want our loved-ones being hurted. No matter for what reason that leads to this killing. May Madam Tan be R.I.P.
Heavy Pouring in Kuala Lumpur
Strong winds and heavy rain hit the Klang Valley about 5.30pm yesterday. My husband and I were in Tesco Kepong Village Mall enjoying our foot reflexology.
When we left the mall, we spotted a couple of fallen trees on our way back home.
This morning, I was shocked to see a huge tree (seems like an old tree) fell on the driveway leading into KH Tower. We had to enter the Carpark space from the exit.
We also spotted some scattered glass on the floor. I really hope that there was no one hurt when the tree fell yesterday.
If you are traveling on the road on a rainy day, do make sure that you keep an eye for any hazardous items which may fall on you.

Bell & Ross: From Pocket To The Wrist
The Franco-Swiss watchmaker - Bell & Ross honours the history of timepieces by presenting the Pocket Watch PW1 the Wristwatch WW1, both of which reimagines the evolution between pocket watches in the 1920s and the first series of wristwatches in the 1940s. The brand has always been acclaimed for its reinterpretation of watch design history, particularly those from the military. Yet it still manages to remain faithful to current watch-making standards while running true to Bell & Ross’s unique design principles.

The brand has always been acclaimed for its reinterpretation of watch design history, particularly those from the military. Yet it still manages to remain faithful to current watch-making standards while running true to Bell & Ross’s unique design principles.
As "a watch from the past reflecting the present", the Pocket Watch PW1 and Wristwatch WW1 models - while distinguished by their setting, finishes and movements - share common characteristics, personifying the design of the first wrist watches, yet made for the comfort of today’s men. The refined masculine design epitomises a new style of military neo-classicism.
For serious admirers of military watch history, the Wristwatch WW1 wristwatch also comes in its authentic Military versions; the Wristwatch WW-92 features a matte grey steel case and a distressed strap, and the Wristwatch WW1 – 92, encased in black, comes with sand-coloured index markings and a leather strap that will season with a vintage varnish over time. Both models offer an hour, minute and second graduations inspired by observation watches used by military pilots to calculate their direction, speed, and bearings, even in the dark.

It was such a great party and I am proud to be part of the organizing team. Actually I was very anxious that I wear a dress in the same colour as my boss Cindy. I apologized to her and she was all okay with it. When I saw my big boss Angie came in the same Royal Blue dress.... Frankly speaking, I wanted to dig a hole to hide. What a bad mistake to make? Thank god the both of them are okay with it (I hope). Look! Phin from NST is such a lucky guy to take this photo with "Sisters in Royal Blue". Cheese....!
