So they say, not every teacher can teach well.
I think, the same theory applies to doctors as well !
Me : Why is it like that ?
Doctor : Oh, infection ah...
Me : Infection ? But how ??
Doctor : Yes, infection ah...
Me : Okay, but how did i get this infection ?
Doctor : Because, of infection ah...
Me : I meant like whats the cause of this ??
Doctor : Caused of infection ah...
I paid him sixty bucks, and still have no idea what is wrong ! *slaps forehead*
Look what i found in my mail this morning:
Miss.Irene Lauran.
Abidjan, Ivory Coast
Dearest one,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I got your name and contact from our country chambers of industry (internet department). I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to its esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable and trust worthy person that I can do business with and by the recommendation , I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.
I am Miss Irene Lauran only daughter of late Mr. and Mrs.Lauran. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan ; the economic capital of Ivory Coast , my father was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip. *sobs, sad story*
My mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my father on October 2006, in a private hospital here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of five million, five hundred thousand United State Dollars. US$5,500,000.00 left in fixed suspense account in one of the prime bank here in Abidjan , that he used my name as his only daughter for the next of Kin in depositing of the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates. *just like how Snow White got poisoned, because she's pretty?*
That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose.
Dear, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To provide a bank account into which this money
would be transferred to.
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund.
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to secure a resident permit in your country.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/ input after the successful transfer of this fund into your bank account.
Furthermore, you indicate your options towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen (14) days you signify
Interest to assist me.
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards
Miss Irene Lauran.

So i've read many of such cases where people got conned into believing that this is all real,
and i wonder....How on earth did they even think of believing it. And just how naive we can all get at times.
Nothing is free in this world, remember !!
I'm curious, as to how many out there actually noticed something going on with the main "Google" sign today,
and actually clicked on it.
I love how Google celebrates everything! :)
eleven hours in the library today, Powerrrrr ! :)
Yayy,
Ikea's 2011 catalogue is out !
And it all looks so nice! :)
" When it comes to men and relationship, especially those that are romantically interested in you, it's really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do. It's that simple. It's that easy. "

I was back home for a five-short-days trip last week, all for
Daddy's Birthday !
Was scheduled to catch the 7.05am flight back home, and make it back in time for breakfast. And with those extra time allocation needed for the journey to the airport, boarding pass collection and checking-in time beforehand - Let's just say that i was up at a very unearthly hour to get ready, just when everyone else is heading to bed. Hence no more 7am flight for me again. Ever.
I wasn't really all bothered about the journey to the airport till the day before, only to realise how eerie its going to be. I mean with all the cases of those desperate cab drivers (really, please spare them from the jail - save the taxpayer's money and just chop their "trunks" off already!), the thought of being alone in the cab at such hour is pretty just me asking for trouble.
So, i ended up doing the unthinkable but most probably the wisest decision ever made ! :)
Called for an airport limo service instead.
At first i was keeping myself mentally prepared, to set aside a few hundreds for the fare, and maybe another hundred as a tip. But i was proven so wrong ! It is really a fairly simple process. All they needed was my name, contact number, address and time of departure. Then you'll be given the time that you'll be picked up and the fare. Wait, this is not the best part yet.
In the evening the day before i was supposed to leave, the driver himself messaged me.
It goes " Hello Miss Sarah, i am Roslan here and i will be your driver for tomorrow. This is my contact number, please do contact me to pick you up. Thank you. " So polite, i am already impressed.
The morning itself, i thought maybe i should go down to the lobby about ten minutes earlier and wait instead. But, i reached the lobby only to find a man fully uniformed standing beside his cabbie - and with the widest smile ever. I was thinking seriously at that hour, who on earth smiles like that ! He approached me, shook my hand and introduced himself, quickly took my baggages and opened the door for me. And i instantly felt like a superstar.
Alright, maybe look at this then you'll get me...
Get it ?
The whole journey to the airport was such a pleasant one, so much that i thought i've achieved nirvana *exaggerates* Was pretty sad when we arrived at the front of the airport, almost wished that he made another roundabout turn - just for fun :)
Anyways, will you believe me if i say that what i've paid for this airport limo service is much cheaper than taking any normal cab? Yes it really is !
On usual days, a cab from Bandar Sunway to the airport would most probably cost around RM 80+.
But...
on the very same usual day, this airport limo service will only cost you RM 56.
I might have paid more because i had no choice but to take the after-midnight service, but it was all still less than RM 100. Nice :)
After a total of Eight hours spent in the hair studio...
and i've got big curly hair now! :)
