Call Me Superstitious But..

30 Sep

handbag.jpgI just don’t leave my handbag on the floor! Ask anyone who’s been out dining with me; they can surely vouch this fact for me! I always have my handbag on my lap, no matter how big or how heavy or even how uncomfortable it is having it on my lap. ALWAYS!

Which is why, whenever I saw those ladies in The Hills series eating out and just putting their handbags on the floor, it just gets on my nerves! Firstly, is it really that safe to put your handbags on the floor like that?? Passersby can just pick it up and run away with it!

Secondly, I don’t know about you guys but I totally believe on the handbag-on-the-floor superstition..

“Don’t put your purse on the floor or you’ll stay broke.”

I’m a firm believer of this; don’t ask me why. And whatever superstition that has to do with money, you can bet that I follow it!

Haven’t heard of this superstition? Here’s an explanation:

“This is an old superstition, which says that we shouldn’t keep our handbags on the floor if we want to have money coming in. With your handbag, the problem is that you are both physically and symbolically putting your money on the dirty floor down by your feet, which can be interpreted as you are disrespecting your wealth. If you want to keep your money, you have to respect it. A symbolic way of respecting it by putting it in a nice place like on the table, a chair or your lap.” [source]

So there you go. I don’t expect y’all to follow what I believe in, I just wanna let you ladies (and guys) know, since a few of you have asked about this.

1st Engagement Anniversary

27 Sep

OMG my first year anniversary this month had totally slipped my mind! Until late last night! *kicks self*

Wait.. lemme backtrack the story a bit..

DSCN0151.jpg

FINALLY tried out the Ramadhan Buffet at The Roof Restaurant at Imperial Int’l Hotel last night! Wheeeeee!

I wasn’t alone though..

Went with these 2 bafoons, Impedius & WC!

The thing with WC and I when it comes to buffets is that, we believe in making every cent count, so we went for rounds after rounds, and ate and ate like there’s no tomorrow! WC and I especially love the grilled fish and prawns, and the chicken rice, oh and the sambal belacan! And the soup! OMG! They’re so darn delicious!

Anyways, have you guys tried to ‘buka puasa’ there yet? There are LOTSA food to choose from! Hurry hurry! Go try it out! If only Impedius had told us about this earlier, we would’ve gone there more than once! Hmph!!

Anyways, moving on..

Went for some drinks at Waterfront after that. First to Cock&Bull, then to BarSu with these bunch of friends:

I don’t know why I was pointing at Jeff, and him pointing at me lol.. but all I know is that his cousin is a pure Korean, who’s here for a holiday! Ahn-yong-ha-se-yo dude! :)

Also met Suzanna there at BarSu.. she was a classmate of mine back in primary school! That long ago, and yet she still remembers me! Whoa!!

1st-yr-anniversary.jpg

It was actually in Cock&Bull that WC mentioned that this month is our 1st year engagement anniversary! OMG! I just don’t know why it had slipped my mind!! I was only remembering the anniversary of the years we’ve been together, not our engagement anniversary! D’oh!

So ya.. Happy Anniversary to us! And happy weekend to all of you! :)

More On The EOS Experience Seminar ’08

24 Sep
DSC09835.jpg

As mentioned in my previous posts, I attended the Canon Seminar (so what lah I’m using Sony.. can spy rival’s seminar still mah lol..)

Had to wake up at 6am on a Sunday! So darn early! Reached the Grand Ballroom of STAR around 7.50am, and found that the area was FULL of people!

Pic taken by WC. Sempat lagi Gerry gave a peace sign bah lol!

Food and drinks were served outside for those of us who aren’t fasting

DSC09830.jpg
But since WC and I just ate before we reached there, I hardly ate anything. But WC was excited to see chicken wings were being served! Sot! LOL!

Took a few pics with friends..

DSC00070.jpg
With Sham and his GF. He even let me tried out his super heavy Sigma 24-70 F2.8 EX DG Macro lens (which I pointed)! And OMG the pics turned out super sharp! Niceeee!

With Zie, Julian, and Massy (and people having lunch in the background)

With Gerry and pretty LamLam

And Murphy, who sat behind me pula during the seminar (I think.. right?)

IMG_0926.jpg
Of course had to have a pic with WC!

DSC00099
(apaaaa ni blur pic!)

And OMG! The editor of my fav. photography mag, Philip Chong of Digital Camera Malaysia, was there as well selling his magazines as well! Bought a few of the old copies which I had missed during the beginning of the year! Wheeee!

I just gotta say, during the photoshoot, we were all being pushed and shoved, just like paparazzi! Even my lens cap fell off a few times because some of the other photogs just pushed me to get pics of the models! It was crazy, I tell you!

Especially during this time, when both Nicole and the other model (forgot her name) posed together! All the photogs went crazy!!

DSC09959
Some even asked for them to kiss each other and do seductive poses! WTF!

DSC09965
And the photogs got closer and closer to the models, until this fella’ Henry Chin (thanks Benny for the name!) had to tell them to move back! Lucky for me I had my telephoto lens on; no need for me to get close! Teehee! ;)

During the seminar, photographer and gues speaker Kaz Chua tried out the brand spanking new Canon 50D on Madelyne Nandu and let us all see the quality on the monitor

DSC00110.jpg
And printed out the photo straightaway. I like that printer! I want that printer!

DSC00116.jpg
See? Life size photo of herself! How cool!


Then, Mandy was supposed to go change to another outfit, but she was stuck outside with all the photogs wanting to take a photo of her as well! And what did I do? I joined in the fun! ;)

WC and I left early, as we had to go to another place after that. But I just gotta say, this seminar was fun! If only I had known about the Sony Alpha seminar (which is to be held next month in KL) that Sham is going, I would’ve registered as well! Cuz in Sony Alpha seminars, there are freebies! But next time lah!
