Never Send a Man to do a Woman's Job

When they say NEVER send a man to do a woman’s job, what’s the first thing that came into your mind? And when exactly the last time you send a man to do a woman’s job and it turned out to be a wonder or disaster? This applies to everyone when you say “NEVER send a … to do a …’s job”, just like when you’re a kid, you never send an adult to a kid’s job or as you grew up, never send a kid to do an adult’s job. Everyone has their own “job” which they must carry out themselves.

I personally think women can carry out the same thing as men could, except those jobs that only a men could do (basically I think the only thing that men can only do by themselves is providing half of a baby, if you know what I mean). Don’t get me wrong cause I’m quite one hell of a chic that can do most of the things my dad can do. Don’t think that I’m just a fancy girl that only know how to go with nice blinged manicure (God I missed hard gel nails!) with a shimmery lip gloss (well, I’m still on the way in being a Barbie). I’m not that type of girl that chains to my piano or salon. I know how to fish, plant, home deco, fixing minor home appliances and more other stuff except grilling cause my dad thinks I’m gonna drop the drilling gun on the floor before it could get near the wall the moment I turn that thing on. But who knows, I’m a girl with many talents. Give me a hammer and teach me and the next thing you know is that I may be the one helping you out. Lol.

Never send a woman to do a man’s job:

Never send a man to do your cosmetic shopping! Unless you have a name and serial code of the product (best with pictures), otherwise, forget about asking for their help. First, cosmetics are not cheap. The moment if they purchase it wrongly, you’re just gonna pull your hair off cause these stuff doesn’t come with the term ‘refund’ or ‘exchange’. Ok, so what if you were to be rich? (I’m not going against those who are rich and don’t mind if wrong purchase was done) Time is also an issue. If is not for urgent use then it’s perfectly fine. Piece of advice; buy your spares before it fully runs out.

Have you ever send a guy to get you your sanitary stuff during emergency? For me, I never! But if I would, I will Google that picture before he went crazy and buy the whole shelve back. Am I correct? However, I’ve heard that some man are willing to buy for their girls, is that true? How good if my boy would do that for me yo~ However, some are way too superstitious. When it comes to these sanitary stuff, most of the men are afraid that once touching it, it will lead a downtown in their careers. Not to mention if they go near to used sanitary pads. I think they will go ballistic. That’s why for some people, women’s undies are not allowed to wash with men’s clothes. Well apparently, I never see a man goes wrong with a woman when having intercor*e, right? That’s why some superstition facts are just a bunch of craps to me. Agreed? When I was Googling the net, I found a funny statement and it was like this:

Girlfriend : I sent my boyfriend to get me a pregnancy test kit and you know what? He got me an ovulation test kit... *head spins*

Do you know man try out for shirts and trousers take less than 10 minutes for each whereby a woman takes an average of 15 minutes just to try out one bra? So, never send your boyfriend to do your clothes shopping or even ask them to shop with you. Honestly, style differs from one to another. Sending a person to shop for your clothes won’t solve it even though she is your girlfriend, not to mention a/some guy. Shopping together can be sweet but at the same time, it can be a pain in the ass. First hour may be your entre but when it comes to the next hour, you may see your boy ended up on shopping complex’s’ sitting area. During that time whatever clothes you test on, don’t 100%-ly rely on their opinions cause whatever outfit you test (except lingerie which may give him a turn), they might just give you a “nice” signal, just wanting you to get done and get over with it. Believe me, my father does. About last two weeks ago, my dad just walk off when I was trying some Xixili on the lingerie departmental store cause I took almost near to 45 minutes testing in the changing room.




Here’s a joke to sign off my article…

(A sales girl work for a company that hosts kids’ parties. One party is coming in just as another is leaving, and in the chaos, a gay couple and their daughter are getting overlooked. At the time, she was the only female worker on duty.)

Sales girl: Can I help you sir?

Customer: We just bought a ball, but we don’t know how to blow it up

(The sales girl took the family to the pump and show their daughter how to use it. Her dad thanked the sales girl profusely.)


Customer: that’s proof. If you want something done right, you have to ask a woman.

Most Powerful Woman and I'm deadly wanna be her!

Back in the days while I was pursuing my degree, I was assigned to write about a person that posses the most criteria to be leader. The first and only person that comes into my mind was Barack Obama. He has never failed me in anyways in being a great leader. To me, he's the Top. But thinking to it, I knew that a lot of people will be writing about him since he's so famous and everyone knows him. Hence I tried to Google around the net searching for some great leaders since I have a very low knowledge about these especially they are all in politics. Tell you what, when I grew up, I will definitely withdraw from being a politician cause its super-the-complicated and it's like almost everyday debating and arguing. Well, might as well just let those who posses more political-like people to run the system. Right? This way I can save my energy for more fun! haha. That's me alright! Okay, back to the topic. Because I dislike politics, that's why I somehow got a little bit lost when I started to write about Opera, or maybe I was listening to too much of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion's songs. Gonna have to snap right out of that! Then I came around to this lady Angela and God I tell you she won my heart way more compared to Obama. Having said that Obama is the best, I would say that this woman is a bomb! She was the FIRST WOMAN who sits in the chair! How awesome can that be? I think the title of Iron Lady serves her well. Don't you think?

By the way, have you ever heard of the nick name “Iron Lady”? If you happened to heard of her, then you should know that she’s the first World Most Powerful Woman and also the second Most Powerful People as the first still remains the current president of United States of America. If you somehow don't have a clue of her, let me slowly brief you through.

Angela Dorothea Merkel is the daughter of a Lutheran pastor who was born in Hamburg on 1954 and had pursued her Master in Science at University of Leipzig earning a doctorate in 1978 (talking about being a true Chemist!).  In 2005, she served as the first female chancellor in her own country.  This made her the dominant figure in the world of politics and serves as the pillar of European Union.

Merkel was said to be born for politics as she possess great analytical skill from her academic studies. Because she was a bright child who won a medal in arithmetic during the “math Olympics”, she became a physical chemist researcher later. 

Her career path didn’t start off easily which you may think all of these are lay ready for her, she got rejected at a year later after graduating when she applied for a job in a press office due sickness. However, that did stop her from being an influential figure, she entered the politician world when she was appointed as spokesperson’s deputy. Subsequently, Merkel was voted to the German parliament after the unification of East and West Germany where she got appointed as the Minister of Women and Youth under Kohl’s cabinet.Later, she was referred as the Minister for the Environment and Reactor Safety. Merkel’s foundation was fully built after being given such post by Kohl.

After the fall of Kohl’s government in 1998, she became the General Secretary of Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and took hold of it as its chairperson after four years. It was a strong turn for CDU during that time because it has never had a female-leader from Northern Germany. However, regardless of her reputation, yet she lost during the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) general election in 2002. In 2005, Merkel got nominated and won counts as she managed to capture the citizen’s heart.

Although she had won the citizen’s heart, yet people in the East Germany took her as a traitor. Even though money has been pumped into the East since the reunification of both East and West, unemployment rate still remained at a high level while salaries and pensions remained at low while attaining her entrepreneurship. Appropriately, statistics have shown unemployment rate had indeed reduced when she made the chancellor. An influential commentator said this may keep her away from the people due to her pragmatism making her heartless to their hitches.

In spite of nobody likes her or adore her, I seriously agreed with Professor Wolfgang Stock (her biographer) that she do gain a well-respect from people. However, it is quite irony when she was said to be in a scandal involving her personal life regarding to her appearance two years ago.

Amusingly, she holds herself back when it comes to interviews. Till this day, she still keeps her private life private. It was mentioned that she was influenced mostly by one of her parent. Maybe she just dislike to reveal herself because she hardly have a childhood life as she has been working so hard to achieve her current status. However, her enigma lies on her oral skills. She appeared to be slightly weaker in public speaking. Though she’s a bit boring in public, but in private, she does have a sense of humour when it comes to chatting to people she are much more familiar with.

One thing about Merkel I’m very fascinating of is her way of solving problem. She tends to utilize her weakness as her selling point. Every time when she meets an issue, she will think thoroughly before taking any further step. She will break down the problem into small parts and form solution with its detailed consequences. By holding on to “step by step”, and “there is no alternative” as her catchphrase, she fixed the financial crisis where the eurozone’s debt was not doing well at that time. It was a great challenge for Merkel but despite of the difficulty, she is going to solve the issue by using one of her famous phrase-step by step.

But what truly makes Merkel a successful leader is she had been through a lot of rough times, yet she remained calm and ‘undamaged’. She is still able to play the role as a normal person by stocking up food and doing what a normal person will do. Sometimes you can see her serving drinks to her visitors which it is quite an unbelievable scene to be seen for a world most powerful woman. Other than that, being confident is another point which made her a top leader. At a point where her colleagues starts to disapprove her stating that she wasn’t experienced enough compared to them in a particular matter, instead of keeping things to herself, she told them that she knew better than anyone. Usually a person doesn’t take the trouble to explain because they just need to know what they’re doing and they only need to report to themselves. Another factor which made her number one in Europe is working out to be the best. This is why she is always ahead of people.


To me, Angela Merkel makes a brilliant leader. But when I came across this (Merkel) politician, I’ve started to slowly admire her; not only by her personality but also with her contribution to her people. As a female-dominant in the politician world, she’s truly a perfect idol for me. I have never seen a female with such achievement in life and possess such influential power. Well, I think is time for me to work my way there. Coming in thinking to it, the par is a little bit to high for me right? I wonder how would my friends react if i were to be just like her in the future cause I'm just way too playful for everything! haha

In an Arranged-Marriage? Get me out of here!

Have you ever thought of arranged-marriage (AM)? What about forced-marriage (FM)? When I was young, I really did thought about it (was just no big deal). Well honestly, it’s not a big deal. But if you managed to meet a person which you happened to think that he or she is your other half that you’re planning to spend your life with, the deal became really (and I meant REALLY) BIG!

It’s really hard for us to predict that in this current century, some parents may still be practicing the same thing, especially families who have both power and status in the society. During the time where people are living in the dynasty (for Chinese), Princes and Princesses are almost bound to marry only those who belongs to the royal family. Not only had this happened to the royal families, it also happened to those who have status as I've mentioned earlier. In Chinese, it simply means 竹门对竹门,木门对木门. I doubt that the English practices the same thing as well. There was a movie that really gave me a shock where both of them simply agreed to the marriage in order to fulfill the promise of two families, where after the marriage, both of them took over the company with its properties and shares and live separately. Basically they are fake husband and wife even though they are publicly named Mr and Mrs. One thing for sure, certificate of marriage is nothing but a piece of paper that holds the benefits of properties. And do you know that in some countries, children are count as property as well? This is just absurd.

Seriously, I do pity those who haven even officially met each other and out of a sudden, they are going to get married next month (or even two weeks)! Well, if both of them agreed then its fine. But if it turns out to be the other way round where at least one of them doesn't agree, you will start to see drama. Mostly in this situation, you will see run-aways and suicides. Right? I bet you see a lot of these in movies. I do wonder if both grown adults rejected their AM, will the parents even bother to cancel it. Well, it’s a debating situation.


What made me came up to this topic was the dream I had last night. It’s like suddenly out of nowhere, I was told I have to marry this person. When I turn up my head, he was the last person that I swear I’m gonna see if the world had come to an end – my X. This is just madly ridiculous I tell you!! At that moment, I finally get to know what does an AM feels like – SUCKS! And when there’s AM, there’s FM. Well, I know you will be wondering why it will turned out to be like that. I don’t like him or he don’t like me or both of us don’t like each other, this will lead to such outcome. Basically, I will say that I DON’T like him! And yet the marriage still goes on, this will contribute to FM. My heart was so lost till I just want to grab the phone to call the boyfriend out to save me from this mad disaster. 

Do tell me, if you were to be in an AM, what is your current feeling? Did you just happened to know this matter or you have been just told of AM this morning?

Great Pull-Out from a bunch of Engineers

Its been one week after my birthday. Although my family didn't celebrate it with me, i wasn't  mind at all. After all, i wasn't in the mood to celebrate it as well. It was quite funny that this year, rabbit was late to call in to greet because he was earlier during last Christmas and New Year. UNLESS, he had forgotten, AGAIN.
The conversation was like this :

Me : Hi, where are you? Busy?
Him : In the outlet... A bit busy lor... Why a?
Me : No lar... just wondering only *i buy RM100k that if he really forgets, he will say "ok lar...talk later ok?"
Him : Ok lar...talk later ok?

i told you! he REALLY forgotten!

Me : see! you forgot!!!
Him : what...?     OH YA HOR!! *hehehe*
Me : he-he what?? you see, i was thinking why my phone still doesn't ring for the past half hour and its almost 12am, and the only reason to it is that you've forgotten... you was early during xmas and new year eve but you forgotten my birthday... T.T

hmm, at least he did it after he reached home after work.


This was one story while the other was a killer. Reason for making the statement as 'killer'... how on earth can both state-based dudes get overrun by three fellas with the just usage of phones?? and the worst part was : i was the only person who knew the backstage drama days after that; and if i never ask, this secret is going to be buried together with them!

Let me pull all the storyline together to make it clearer for you.

***



Scene 1 - Evil Planning Activated
On the day of their arrival, all of us together with Jie's family went for temple visits in Tumpat. During that time, i was thinking, since Jie's birthday was on the next few days, why don't we just throw a surprise birthday for him on the next day where we're going to have our barbeque. So i sneakily discuss this matter with the others. When i was talking about cake and gift, three of them was like K.Oed from the flight, non of them really did give the response, But after that, Yao told me that he and the others had bought him a necklace. Well, that was fast?? Now the only issue is the cake, I told them that i could get it on the second day and since i'm driving, nobody will know a thing!



Scene 2 - BBQ Shopping and Cake Mission by Agent June, Agent Yao and Agent Fang
In the morning, i went to pick all of them up from Jie's house and Jie wanted me to drive, perhaps he was tired from temple visit because it was kind of hot on that day, even June got sick right after that. So when we headed to Tesco, that three fellas (Jie, Yao, June) insisted to hunt for beverages while we (me, Alex, Fang) hunt for food. That's weird, beverages need hunting as well? They are all over the shelves wey, why the hurry? Then in the middle of choosing chicken wings, Jie came to me for my car keys and said he wanted to get something...Erk?? i totally wasn't paying attention cause he was mumbling throughout the whole conversation while i was searching for the keys. I think i spend the whole time getting all the stuff while the three fellas used all the time just buying few bottles of Pepsi! Suddenly i felt like i'm bring trolled~


Scene 3 - Panic Alarm
While we was leaving, my mind was starting to be clear that Jie wasn't driving and how the hell i'm going to get the cake without his notice?? so i left him behind with Fang while i ran towards to discuss with Yao. Hmm, i think the only thing i can do right now is to send all of them back and go out to get the cake alone.

Scene 4 - Magic Cake from Nowhere
When we was unloading the stuff from the car, Fang pull out a cake from my car. During that few seconds, i was surprised and trying to think where the hell did the freaking cake came out from. I didn't saw them going anywhere nor send them to any cake shop either. Did i??? And there was one moment where i actually thought that they brought it all the way from Kuala Lumpur! Great, now i sounded stupid. =.='''

Scene 5 - Attempting to get the cake through without Catching Jie's Attention
Lucky Jie was facing himself towards the wall, so Fang quickly went to the kitchen to store the cake in the fridge. When i was adjusting the cake in the fridge, Jie came in to grab the butter or something which suddenly spooked me and i had to came out with ridiculous excuses just to avoid him from opening the fridge.

Scene 6 - Coming Back from the bank and was giving a totally freak out Surprise!
When me and Jie came back from the bank, they were all lighting up the cake. One thing i was curious other than having Jie to pushing me into the porch was : how did they know that we re on our way back and everything was perfectly on time??? Everybody was singing happy birthday to WEIJIE! and ANNA! what the???

No wonder he kept on pushing me lar!

Now for some Behind the Scene parts.

Pre Scene 1 - Behind the Scene - Early Evil Planning Activated
Because i've mentioned that i have never really celebrated my birthday as i grow older in my age especially when my birthday is so near to chinese new year where people are mostly busy all the time, Jie planned to throw a surprise birthday for me. Its really quite easy to remember the date though but i can't deny that its quite easy as well for people to forget. Two weeks before they (June, Fang, Yao) arrived in Kelantan, they had it planned with the cake(s) and gift(s).

This i really don't have much info, all i knew was those 'pixies' were hunting badly for the rainbow cause it was a kind of rare thing to find. At the same time, they were also hunting for Jie's necklace and had it engraved. No wonder he wasn't in the group in searching for my present.

Scene 2,3,4,5 - Behind the Scene - Only One Car and Both are Intention to get it for Each Oher
Well, this was a wreck! There's only one car, after all of us had reached Tesco, Jie regret in sitting my car while me having the same issue. Now how the hell are we going to get the cake(s)?

Jie : Oh shit! i should have drive my car out so that i can't buy the cake without having Anna to notice.

Anna: Charm! now only one car, how to get the cake without Jie's notice???

When i was choosing the chicken wings as mentioned earlier, didn't i mentioned as well they wanted to hunt beverages separately from foods? That was why Jie asked me for the keys earlier! They went to the Secret Recipe to get cakes and kept it under the driver's seat. And to be more cautious, Jie went in to the car and block it from my view. To Jie, the cakes are for me; but to them (June, Fang Yao), it was for us (me, Jie). Means Jie was aware of the cakes all the time and yet i still look for the right moment for Fang to throw the cake into the back kitchen! What the Krap!

1: i thought the cake is from KL
2: i thought Jie didnt know about the cake
3: i still mong cha cha in storing the cake and coming up with ridiculous excuses! @.@

Now i think they (June Fang Yao) had started to mutate their evil mind during Scene 2 or even earlier than that!

Scene 6 - Behind the Scene - Finale
It was a great catch for them when i wanted to go to the bank to do some transaction and Jie accompanied me, because this is when they keep everything and started to 部阵!



And this is the funny part where Jie took this as my birthday surprise while i took this as his birthday surprise... If me and Jie were to really be soldiers, i think both of us will die before hands.

***

In the earlier stage, i kept on saying that rainbow came out from ground and ended by going back into the group again, that's why every time we see a rainbow, it was in an inverted U shape. And that really sounded like Penny. If you do watch the Big Bang Theory, you will know exactly what the hell i'm saying. Actually i know rainbow came out from a light penetrated from a rain droplet, but i make it to sound funny. You will never know when i will suddenly came up with a joke like that. But one thing i would like to restatement about : rainbow doesn't comes from ground or either from droplet, it comes from people who cares about you.
