This is just crazy advertising. How do people even come up with this? They are designing my clothes from now...

I know for a fact that there's even a few people who might find this physical challenging. So don't feel bad Nashnee.

Of course we men always have trouble understanding which frown means what. Well, maybe keeping this guide in our wallets might help, cause it's just too difficult to memorize....

The Girl Who Has Everything...

...A Man Needs. This is to make up for all the words Nashnee made you read.

Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child.

You know of the proverbial friend with a B.O? For those you dont, care to be enlightened with one of the most morally vexing question. You have a friend, whom you like and are chummy with. But you cant stand being within a few inches of her because she smells like she hs yet to be introduced to the wonderful invention called a soap bar. Now for the tough decision. Do you tell her she stinks and hurt her feelings; or do you just let it go cuz you dont want to be a meanie, knowing full well others will probably make made B.O jokes about her behind her back?
Usually, i would have chosen the former. Just tell the person and hope she has dosnt take heart. But then its not always so easy. A colleuge of mine asked me to review her work for a presentation. I took one look at it and knew i had a the proverbial friend with a BO on my hand. Frankly, i didnt have a problem with her work. But almost 2 years of working where i do thought me others would.
I did try to tell her. First with small changes to make. Immediately there was a sense of defensiveness i felt from her. It was her first time doing this assignment. And i remember my first time doing it. I did my best, but people, friends at that, would be excessively judgemental without telling me how to improve. And i remember how horrible i felt after that.
So i tried to spare her the rod. Maybe its just me , maybe her work is really good. Maybe others will also go easy on this eager first timer. Well, here is lesson Number 2: In the business world, there is no second chances. First impressions are everything.
As for this girl, another collegue of mine saw her work and didnt bother mincing words criticizing her. I feel bad for her but whay could i do? I tried telling her earlier but she wouldnt listen.

Nashenee, I did visit the Prada boutique but apparently everything was tagged with a four figure price, in Euro! and nothing is worth less than that

The Guy Who Has Everything

Life aint perfect. Not even close. Contrary to what some people say of me, I know for a fact that life is no bed of roses. but this post isnt about me. Its about someone that i knew in passing. But left huge enough an imprint on a lot of people.
The first time i saw him was almost two years ago. But in no time at all, i understood why everyone adored him. The first thing that you notice about him is his handsome face, and sharp, piercing eyes. there is no denying the looks that god bestowed upon him.
Then theres his intelligence. One of the highest rising stars where i work, he awed everyone with his intellectual prowess. This guy just about knew everything in the financial world. Everone from the Head of Department to the regulars like me would consult him on work issues. Dont ask me how he knws all that he knows, he just does. Maybe he has like a device like Astro MAx for his brains.
By now i can guess what some you might be thinking. That i have a huge crush on him. Well, I didnt. Good looking as he may be, he wasnt my type as far as crush goes. But he was the kind of person everyone admired and loved. And to top it all, he was in love with a wonderful girl. And my god, they looked so good together. perfect for each other.
This guy had a lot to brag about. But he never did. He was a good man, and every good fortune that he had, he deserved everey last one of it. People werent jealous of him. Everyone just understood. Sometimes your path crosses a star. Rather than trying to chase it, you should just let it shine. Maybe some of its light will rub off on you.
Last week was his last week with the bank. Because of certain issues I face in my office, i didnt get a chance to wish him a proper goodbye. But my best wishes are with him. Not that he needs it, The Guy Who Has Everything.

Italy

The colosseum in Rome! awesome

gondola rides in Venice are fucking expensive, 80 euros approximately rm400! damn....

Vatican city! as u can see, there are approximately 30 thousand people at in the background waiting to sing with the Pope! hahaha...seriously

The very famous leaning bell tower of Pisa. In fact, it looks quite ordinary when you are there. hahhahaa... the queue to climb the tower, is craaazy!

The petaling street of Italy, Florence! its filled with fake Gucci and Pradas...

This is the famous duomo in Milan. I actually spent five days in Milan. The people in Milan arent so sleazy as the ones in Rome or Venice. I kinda liked Milan the best.

didnt get to see the last supper though. they required at least 30 to 60 days booking in advance to get into the fucking thing.

The Efficient Market Hypothesis Revisited

There was once an old dude, Eugene Fama, who wanted to be immortal but knew he couldnt fly or go on a shooting rampage . So instead he came up with an awesomely out of this world theory. He asserted that the human beings were rational creatures and that we always make the most informed decision.
Unlike Newton, he couldnt name his theory after himself, since Fama's Law sounds so...errgggh. So he called it the Efficient Market Hypothesis. The financial world was in over itself cuz they finally had a law - and everyone knew a field is not really important unless it had a law or two. Now they can all act high and mighty in a I-have-a-law-nae-nae-nae-nae-nae kind of way.
I'm no economist, but what this theory basically says is the financial market (hence people) is omniscience (talk about being egoistical). Every information out there is already reflected in the prices of the assets. So for example, if you found out that company A was going to earn a huge profit, and you wanna buy its stock so you can cash in on its profit, DREAM ON! You are not gonna earn a profit because everybody else also know what you know, so they also rushing to buy the stock and driving up the price.
But cowmon! Are people really rational? Do we always take the most wise and sound course of action? Or are we more likely to stumble after one ill conceived decision after another. Fama attempts to adress this thorny issue by saying some people overeact and some people underact, so all in all the collective decision is towards the most rational one.
But humans, by nature, are hardly rational.
We drink, we smoke even though we know it will eventually kill us. We fall madly in love despite knowing we are gonna get out hearts broken. We buy a US10,000 hand beg just for the heck of it. And then we sell that same handbad for US500 cuz we cant pay rent. Rational? Try down right insane!
But you what the most insane thing is, Fama is actually, at least partially ,right. Human beings, for the most part, are creatures of sound mind . Underneath the impulsive nature, there is a voice of reason. It may be soft,even inaudible, but you can bet your pricey handbag its there. Some call it the voice of God, some swear its Fama's ghost. Whatever it is, i am glad its there. Being rational all the time is boring, but being perpetually irrational is suicide. Besides, if we were perpetually irrational, we would be rational, at least in our minds. Then once again, we are boring.
So, lets drink (and smoke) to our irrationality and rationality. We might not be efficient, but we sure know how to live life at the edge without going over the egde.
