If only I have all the money in the world. The first thing I would do is to dress like some aunty in a t-shirt and torn jeans, walk into those high end stores where the shop assistants give you a bitchy look, and buy something IN CASH.
In your face mutherfuggers!
Sadly I am so far away from achieving that goal. I am living on the edge with car instalments, insurances, food, petrol, etc.
Sucks being an adult with responsibility. It is so weird that when we were young we can't wait to grow up. Now that we are older, we wish that we could stay forever young. We humans are that greedy. We always want everything.
That is why I have made a promise to myself to enjoy life as it is today. I'm 22 years old! It has only been 2 years into my twenties and I am in no hurry to move on with life. I want to life everyday like it should. Do what I want to do. Party! Hang out! Laze around!
Yeah, yeah, people say you should save for the future. Work hard now and retire early and enjoy life. True. That is one way to view life.
How I see life is enjoy it while you can. People work so hard and save for the future. How certain are you that there will be a future to save for? Ok, if there is a future, you saved and then what? You would be to old to be doing the things that you would love to be doing in your twenties. You'll never get back your twenties.
That's how I see life. People judge and say, "That is a very short term thinking!" or "How can you think this way?" or "Save up then retire early and you still can do the things you want!"
Hey, I don't tell you how you live your life. So let me live mine the way that I want to live it. I want to enjoy every minute of every moment in life.
But then again, there is that dream where I want to buy expensive stuff IN CASH! Well, I'll just save up for that then! :D

Work, work, work
Working life sucks. Work is good because you won't be rotting your life away at home doing absolutely nothing and also working leads to cash in your bank account.
But it sucks. That's life bitches.
But then again, what is life? The answer was always subjective. For some it is to have a great career, others a carefree life to travel the world. For me, I think its the latter.
In order to finance that carefree life to travel the world, one would need cash. A whole load of mother fucking moolah and that is why we have jobs.
Working is a way to move towards your goal in life. Those who say money can't buy happiness. To me, money CAN buy happiness because in order to be happy, you need the money to finance everything that you do to be happy.
Sometimes I wonder how the world would be like is money was never invented. How would the world be like? Would it be a raging warzone for everyone will be fighting over everything? Or would it be a sharing community where everyone just trade things or make their own?
Working in a finance company/website would mean that I'll be jobless without money. However, there won't be jobs needed! Everyone would be doing whatever they love and live would be so, SO different.
Yea, my jobs isn't that bad at the moment. Stress, yes, with the seemingly endless amount of work which keeps coming even though I'm not done with my initial ones.
One's goal in life is what drives you to do what you do. What is my goal in life? If I could, I'll strap on a backpack and travel the world.
Just need to cut those strings grounding me....

What's New?
What's with my life? Well, I have decided to abandon my suppose-to-be-an-ever-so-boring-auditor life and joined a start up company called iMoney.my.
So life has been crazy! Being a start up means doing everything. From customer service, product research/update, coding (it's a website!), designing, some marketing. Been there, done it. I have to admit that it is awfully fun!
I get to work anywhere and anytime as long as there is internet access. Unfortunately, that would also mean that I have to sometimes work over the weekends. Oh well, not like I do anything else if I don't.
That's work...
I'm getting my car soon too! Won the prize from the TV show (RM2k proton voucher). Why let it go to waste? Got a nice new pretty Proton Saga FLX which will be sucking 1/4 of my pay every month. Meaning less money for me to go shopping... :(
Let's see, what else? I guess it's pretty much the same.
BY THE WAY...
Have you ever heard of a stray bunny? Neither have I but this cute little fella came into our front yard yesterday. Seems lost and that fella is soooooo thin! Poor thing must have been lost for quite some time and being traumatised by all the passing cars and all.
So for now, we "kidnapped" it. He chose the right house to enter I guess. But then again, which cute fluffy creature wouldn't? So many plants, shrubs, flowers and stuff. Its practically heaven for them...
Anyways, here's a picture of the cute little fella!
So FLUFFY!! :D
Attended a few concerts along the way as well, Avenged Sevenfold and The Wanted are the latest 2. Best thing ever was that I met Kyle Patrick (In case you are like, "Who?", he's the lead singer of The Click 5). ;)
Holy moly. My face is sooo oily (That was meant to rhyme). Who can blame me? It was after The Wanted concert. Oh my gosh, he's smile just melts you. :3
Last day of September! How time flies....

Busy Bee
I haven't been blogging for such a loooooong time! I kinda miss it actually.
Currently, I'm suppose to be doing some self enrichment. Mentor/boss encourages self improvement and has given me some reading stuff. Pretty interesting actually. But I never like reading from a PDF file. Always like holding the actual book.
I'm old school that way. I still take notes in a notebook with a pen/pencil. I still prefer talking to people face to face instead of telephones and emails.
What am I doing with online start ups man?
Simple! Its interesting and I get to work anywhere, anytime. ;)
So how is life?
Its good. Of course I always wish to be doing absolutely nothing lazing around at home but I am also glad that I am not a zombie auditor working my brains off in an audit firm.
I started my new internship. Been taking up internships because it lets me learn and explore things along my way. Interesting how I decided to stop my last intership and then another opportunity just pops up.
Sometimes I like how life works. :)
This new job, its pretty interesting. Somehow I've gotten myself another online business This time its more financial based. I guess numbers and financial jargon are still my thing.
I started on Monday, 2nd of July and daaaaaamn, time flies and its already the end of the week. I've been given so many different kind of things to do and it has been keeping me on my feet almost everyday! Marketing, advertising, writing, research, reading, design. Utilising all my brain juices man!
Of course, in between I end up playing games for an hour on my phone and raiding the refrigerator. Who cares? As long as I do what I am suppose to do.

Starry Nights
It is a little late. Actually, VERY late for this post but I have been busy doing other stuff and I just noticed this morning that I have not written about my experience at Redang.
Our flight was scheduled to leave at 8.30 am. Meaning that I will have to wake up at 6am to pack some stuff and have some food.
The flight wasn't long. Berjaya Air wasn't that bad actually. Its pretty comfortable. Right before the plane landed we saw a rainbow right outside our window. Didn't manage to get a picture of it though...
Once we got out of the plane, the air was sooooo humid and hot. The saltiness of the sea can be smelt from the air. Somehow I thought that it was saltier than Perhentian...
Got on a van to the Resort, checked in and chilled because the next snorkelling trip is only at 2 something. So we had to time kill and when I say that it means time for me to explore the place and take loads of human being-less pictures.
Snorkelling for me wasn't as nice as Perhentian. Then we got back it was dinner and after that I was basically just chilling on the chairs outside the chalets. You would not believe the view at night! Having less light pollution, you can actually see the stars! Its not as insane as the time I went to Australia. But for Malaysia, you can hardly see them stars anymore.
I crashed early wanted to wake up early to get a shot of the sunrise. The first picture was taken on the last day. The morning of the second day was cloudy but then you can see the gorgeous clouds around the sunrise.
Oh how I loved it there. I would go back to both Redang and Perhentian anytime just to do absolutely nothing but sit and chill.

The Job - Task 7 (Segi + SAYS)
Day One
The time for the last task has arrived! We first had briefing session at Segi where we were introduced to Chris from Says.Com who gave us a brief run through on the company and how it works. Shannon also gave some pointers for the branding of Segi.
So off we went to come out with ideas. We could do anything we want as long as it meets the objective of the campaign. Being team leader for this team was not easy. No offence to my team but I have to admit that the other team had 4 crazily creative brain juices. I was a bit afraid and also I don’t like losing when I am team leader.
After that we were given a room to brainstorm for ideas. It was crazy man! We were literally blank on ideas. Reshma came up with the idea of holding up signs and then that was about it. We were basically playing with that idea for the entire time we were given to brainstorm.
Then Thoriq came up with the topic “Secrets”. That was a “YES!!!!” moment. It was something that has a hook. Everyone loves secrets. We were supposed to head out to The Hideout and pitch our ideas to Shannon as well as Chris for approval and advices. We ran through a couple of ideas and it was Secrets that was appealing to them both the most. Thus, Secrets it is. Things were delegated and a checklist was made making sure that everyone knows what time to come, what preparations and what to bring.
Day Two
Execution! Reshma and I were there at about 9am. I borrowed my sister’s camera for pictures and Reshma brought the manila cards and some markers. We were waiting for Thoriq and Zarith when Reshma was telling me that we should create a consent form. So, we did. Also, we cut the manila cards as well as came down to a list of pre-approved “secrets” just in case people don’t want to come up with their own secrets.
It was about 10am. And the other 2 people were still missing. Thoriq had some work errands to run and Zarith was not answering his phone. Reshma and I decided to start off first as I decided that we both will be approaching people and the guys will be coming up with the body copy for the Says page as well as the landing copy.
It was fun as hell! Though there was a bit messy because we didn’t write down the secrets on the manila cards beforehand. So I have to say that it was a bit kelam kabut also la. We tried to do too many things at once.
Then finally the other two guys arrived! Zarith who was suppose to bring the Sharpie markers his team bought for the 8TV PSA previously left them in the cab! I don’t blame him la. He was sick and went to the clinic and probably forgot about them in the cab but I was thankful that Reshma brought hers just in case.
So, our cut off time was 2.30pm. Roughly around 1-ish, we went back and checked on Thoriq and Zarith who were sitting down and brainstorming for the wordings. Thoriq seems to be stuck. Without wasting any time, it was decided that Reshma switch with Thoriq. Then it was Thoriq and I who went around taking pictures. 2.30pm and we were done! Went back up to the room and went through everything making sure that we got what we need.
We went down for a final photoshoot of Thoriq for the picture on Says and off we go to The Hideout....
At The Hideout, we were provided with a designer to help design our landing pages
Day Three
Basically after the preparations, we had nothing much to do other than spamming. I feel really bad for spamming. I HATE spamming. I did minimal amount of it. But enough to get me blocked from the Segi FB page itself!
DAMN!
Other than that we were suppose to come up with a presentation for the concept behind the idea. Maximising my awesome powerpoint skills creating the prettiest slides ever. I’m so proud of them. HAHA! Presentation went smoothly, even for me. Since it was my team, I know everything for everyone. As long as I am familiar with what’s in the slides, I’m actually fine! *thinks back Kenanga week* *Shudders*
It was a short day. The next would be the revelation!!! JENG JENG JENG!!!
Day Four (FINAL DAY)
Then it was the results....
It was crazy man!! Waiting for Chris to announce the statistics is enough to drive us crazy! FINALLY......
WE WON!!!!
HOLY MOTHER FREAKING BALLS!!!!
And then it was all over. 2 month of absolute fun being thrown into all kinds of industries doing all the wacky and crazy things. The last task has come to an end.
Now it was just one final interview and the winner will be revealed.
Well, honestly, I didn’t really want to win the final prize. I came to have fun and gain experience as well as meeting new people. It was a random thing that I got into this show. All I wanted was to try out my interview skills and who knew I would have gotten myself in this.
Went through this interview which I knew I screwed up. When I came out I knew I wasn’t getting The Job. We all roughly knew who was going to be the winner already.
Then it was the moment of truth, the announcement of the winner.
CONGRATS RESHMA!!!
We knew kinda knew it was going to be you. Jason was close but it is still yours! GIRL POWER! Woo hoo! It was an honour working with you the most times throughout the entire show.
It was the best experience that I ever had. I did not regret going for that interview/audition. I did not regret meeting all you awesome people (contestants, production as well as clients!). I had the best 2 months ever being part of the show.
THANKS ALL! :)
PICTURES taken from the entire show! Things that wasn't shown on TV. We had sooo much fun. I miss you all! <3

Signs and Symptoms
You know how some times you get some wacky symptoms and then you decided to consult Dr.Google?
Recently, I noticed that there were little red dots on my legs. Like even pores on my leg and they are under the skin. Meaning they were not bumpy like a rash.
Dr.Google said that these things were called Petechiae and as a normal human being, I google image and looked for the pictures that looked just like my symptom. Found a few and they point to me having Dengue Fever.
I do actually meet all the symptoms. Headache, muscle and joint aches, pain behind the eyes, spots. The only thing missing was the fever. Hahaha! Glad that didn't show up.
But then today the dots are going away. So I guess that it was just nothing.
Though, I am still constantly tired and having low blood pressure which is driving me crazy because I space out 9.5 times out of 10. Also getting a head rush 3 out of 5 times you stand up ain't fun.
I should REAAAAALY go get my blood checked....
But then again......... :3
