Presenting to you the ranting of a woman who has a bit too much free time in her ever-frantic life. Also running a commentary sideline on subjects that tickles her mind.

One Stop Medical E-Shop
It's not a good practice for sensitive skin people and its sure very painful when things get itchy. So getting good creams for her burns and fungi infection can be a hassle especially in the rural parts of Malaysia. Don't get me wrong, Malaysia is a great country but there are times when good quality items are tough to get in the rural areas.
But thankfully I got defibrillator. They are a one stop online shop for medical supplies such as Diabetic supplies, Maternity Cares and Nutritional Dietry Supplements. It has a large inventory and varieties, an A+ for shoppers like me.

Ayu the Banshee
Ayu was extremeely worried, thinking she had done something to my computer for it to react that way. It was pure fun seeing her worried face and her "Blink-Blink Goldfish Look". I was having a hard time controlling my laughter but my luck ran out.
She found out about my Bluetooth Enabled programs. Dad! You traitor!
I was roaring in laughter as I try to run away from the Raging Banshee. It took 15mins of roaring laughter, screaming banshee, open endless threats, dad's intermission advice "Don't kill your sister. I still need her." (that doesn't help much), alot of accidental groping before I finally let her win and surrendered the handphone to her.
But stupid of her, she didn't turn off the bluetooth program on my computer. So I did the same thing using my dad's phone and well... you can say "Here we go again!"
Hahaha.. evil me!!
Weekend Plans
I'm gonna enjoy the free days I'll be spending courtesy to my elder sister. I didn't want sleepover at her house but the tempting knowledge that she has filled her fridge to the brim did me in. Who am I to contest over the contents of her fridge?
I'm a mere human.. who is pulled by the calls of her stomach.. hehehe
So anyway I shall be updating some posts live from her house with the fridge 2 meters away from me.. hehehe
Of course I shall also use that time to pick a few old letters from granpapa house, visit my cousin, chit chat with my gal friends and meet up with that special person in the night.. To be completed in 2 days!! Rabak...
So I'm going to be dizzy with exhaustion running around. That haven't include playing with A-mi-mi and her evil counterpart, Barney. Those two are scary...

Mailing List
We have tried all sorts of sales campaign, from the local newspapers, network and connections and through the internet. It still doesn't work. When things doesn't work, I'm in deep trouble since I am answerable to his Majesty's wrath.
Perhaps I need to ask the boss to engage the services of Mailing Lists. From what I know they do mailing lists, sales leads and telemarketing lists which my company haven't thought of yet. Perhaps I should try asking them for a quote and if it's affordable and good, I can bring this matter up to the big boss.
Being the daughter to the big boss is such hard work...
Ayu got hacked!
Well I did get mischievous and write an appreciation letter of my handiwork on her blog. Hehehe.. yup.. I did it and she yakking at me for it. Hahaha..
So anyway I'm still stuck on the main topics that will be discussed on this blog. But don't worry, I'll not let this blog do into dust.
Vampy Re-vamped!
But please take note that with the new changes that is taking up, I'm gonna do some makeover on the contents of this blog. The previous posts will still be online but the newest ones will now be less Zackire but more Syikin.. It makes no difference to most since both are me, but in personal touches, Syikin is much more outstanding.
So keep coming back and see the changes that will be implemented today.

Beauty School.. CHA-cha-CHA!
Smack me down. That comment rendered me speechless. But what can I say, she likes the style, the fashion and if it cashes in thousands by the month, why not.. And since the schools in Singapore only caters to the brainiacs and PHD wannabe, I'd have to place her somewhere in the US.
cosmetology schools are really difficult to find in Singapore, in fact there is none that could be recognised worldwide. The artists in Singapore have to run overseas just to see their dreams come true. But I think in 10 years time, the situation will improve. Already there are improvements taken up by the government to promote well gifted students like my younger sister.
Until the Arts School in Singapore is recognised, I will have to no choice but place Ayu in the States.
Paying the bills
It looks like I need to track down to Larkin and pay the bills. Aiyoh.. So leceh siak!
Rants pt2
Which means, all my leaves which I had applied for is cancelled or at least not approved yet until the client calls. Business and money is more important than my days off from my messy working lair.
Ugh.. If this drags on, I need to eat my chocolates today. A pathetic way to console myself.. hehehe..
Anyway I need to get back to work..
Stress reliever
It has become a habit for me to have a world war with my dad everyday and of course everything goes back per normal the moment I went back home. I guess my dad also enjoys the picks and fights as I can see him very relax after all the hot air balloon became deflated.
Sure mom always advices us not to bring any work problems back home but sometimes work stress can really make a person circuited the fuse. Good thing I have the old man around, I can scream and shout all I want, blow raspberry at him (I know it's childish) and he hollering at me. Hahaha... even now I can imagine him complaining to mom about our little "chat" during lunch break.
Hahaha..
Rants
Ugh! I hate doing accounting but that is the job I'm stuck in. Financial Reports weekly handed over, Yearly reports to the Auditors... I just don't understand how friends of mine who are accountants can enjoy it.
I'm supposed to be their Technical Eng but got stuck doing this cuz of lack of man power. Hopeless... really hopeless..
Pregancy Tips
Ever since she got pregnant again, she constantly talks on her latest topic, pregnancy which sometimes can be very boring. So as not to hurt her feelings, I've decided to look up for some social networks for Pregnant Ladies to chit-chat online and share common topics.
Lucky me found the best website. Other than having a social network, they have tips on even baby shopping, I mean shopping for the newborn, like where to get good affordable child seat from baby shops and to little small things like baby diapers.
I'm trying to be a good younger sister here.. and also to safe myself from my ever-changing-moods of my pregnant sister.. hehehe
Part three on Tips on Making Ca$h Online is up
The third part consist of list on reliable and money worth for WebHosting Solutions. And with my fussy taste, I get the best of the best... I mean not really THE best in the market but the best for me.
But I'd still advice on taking up Gator Host. Very Good!
Cekik Darah..
But I can't decide to give it to them since their overall year result was very very disappointing. Someone managed to get an Fail for the overall result. So, do you think its a best idea to hand the cash over to them?
Did I mention that they just leave their rubbish on the floor after consuming their junkies? Ugh! I sometimes really wish I could take a broom to their head. Very lazy lots!

Moving House
So to help her out, I've rallied a few extra helps, my cousins basically, and a help from Cheap Moving Company. They have a network of very reliable movers that doesn't take and hide, like the usual movers. The movers will stay and really help out moving out and moving into your new home.
Even though there are extra free help from my cousins and me, I can't really expect much from 12-15 year old. The very much they could do is help out for an hour or two before they got bored and start playing their PS3.
Which is why I got back up to help me out for an affordable rate. Play smart and think smart!
Beans for hot air
So the next time mom cooks Soto, I'm opting my favourite Tou-ge out. So sad for me.. NO more bean sprouts..
Foxy run!
I would prefer Mozilla anytime. It's simplicity and works perfectly with any resolution unlike IE which continuously gives me a headache everytime a larger webpage resolution is used. And its safer.. No irritating messages that pops out saying cookies disabled, latest Java version not supported and no need to fuss over the internet options.
Certainly Mozilla!!
Credit Card Rates
I've been itching to get a new credit card since the Mastercard Debit I'm having is not really accepted in most part of the country. The merchants prefer Visa, with obvious reasons. In Malaysia, Mastercard causes a lot of headache with merchants due to some of their technical system and also the fee charged on the merchant upon use.
Which is why I'm going to get myself a Visa credit card. But with the endless list of credit cards campaigns going on, going for the best deal, competent sales representative and also low interest rate can make me lost my patience.
For example, last night when I went for a shopping with my family, a female sale representative from a bank approached me to promote her credit card campaigns. The words she used were catchy and her promise of low interest rate draws me in. But the moment I checked the rates out, I flipped. It was 1.8% per month whereas I was told it was only 1.8%p.a. Lucky I checked it out!
Which is why I'm using Gas Credit Cards to check out all the offers of credit card rates before I jump in and sign up. 1.8% per month and 1.8% p.a makes alot of different and this time, I will do the checks on the rates.
A-mi-mi want!!
That was what the little angel of a niece was saying when I caught her on my computer desk. Luckily I was on the right moment to stop her from disecting my collectible anime.
So now I'm trying to juggle a few stuffs at the same time. One of them having to stop the little gal from punching on the backspace as I type. It's very 'refreshing'.
That's it! I'm going to take a few minutes off while I find something to interest A-mi-mi other than my computer.

Late..
So to remedy that, I better send them all the necessary documents they need before they start disturbing my peace. After all, they really have bad timing and my B-day is next month. Having a call from them on that day is such a party pooper.
So type-typie-type!

Wedding plans
Well it seems I'm given the job of hunting for the best Wedding Ideas for her. So with a list of items she has luckily written out for her wedding, I became her wedding planner. I mean, how difficult was it planning for a wedding?
It was as easy as finding a needle in a hay stack!
But luckily I found a great site that suit my needs, I mean the bride's needs. So that means I need not need to run around like a lost chicken. She needs her hair done, wedding dresses, wedding souvenirs, flowers, food for the reception.. etc Basically everything a bride wants for her wedding.
Lucky me found the website that has it all! They even have honeymoon packages for the newly weds! I just can't wait to tell my friend about it.
Finally I can end my search..
Cutting it off
I get very disgusted when the food I was preparing for dinner get stuck under the nails. Not only that, the grease which I had to ply onto the machines while I did some troubleshooting also got stuck underneath it. Then my nails got chipped and nearly got torn off while I was inspecting some works done on the roof of a building.
Long nails are meant for ladylike jobs, not my style! Plus the old time cantonese vampires keeps long nails to get their meals..
So that settles! No more long nails for me. Nu-uh.. not even I'm confined by my boss do re-do any weird database systems, no way am I ever having thoughts of getting my nails long.
Opps
Although the new ideas I wanted to implement had to be taken out. Funny that it can work on offline line mode but when caked up when I run it online. So that proves that I need to go back to my drawing board.
Finger goes tipee-type..

Wasted talent unless!!
But when I took a look at it, it was quite fantastic with all the storyline and the graphics. Why did they reject him left me clueless. So in our little talk I suggested to him royalty free stock footage that is quite a hit with talented filmmakers and producers.
Why waste time trying to beg the local producers just to sell your ideas and creations when you can do it online? That was the punchline I gave him and it serve it's purpose. My friend got interested and wanted to know more.
So I went on explaining that AlwaysHD gathers works from film makers and producers, sets a price for their work and let out on sale on the internet. When the production gets sold, the filmmakers and producers gets 50% of the revenue that was sold and get paid monthly instead of the usual pay per contract basis.
See! At least there is some light to look forward to for new talented filmmakers and producers.
Journal and justice
And I'm having the worse time trying to juggle my excessive work, unexplained missing items, cranky cat and way too mischievous siblings.
If someone were to make a movie out of my life, I can assure you that the percentage of me choking on my popcorns and spilling my soda all over the seat is 100. Scary! No way in the world would I let the public see the inner part of my life like that poor Anne Frank girl.
No doubt they made her journal into a literature study, but I don't think she would appreciate her life being made into a spectacle especially during the last minutes of her life. However it is sad and I do share the sympathy that millions of people around the world felt when we learn the true expanse of what Hitler did during his reign of power.
And putting the bullet through his brain is such an easy way of serving justice to the lives that he had puppet out. If it were left to me, I'd put him in a large enclose safari so he wouldn't escape, implant a tracking device in his body, give him a day or two and set the hounds at his heels. Now that is torture oops.. I mean justice.
Let him feel the fear of being hunted down, the anxiety of knowing death is just but a breaths away and the feeling of helplessness.
A bullet through the head is simply too easy. *cackles diabolically*
Got trashed by Adsense
Due to the increase of traffic to my other webbie, Adsense has decided to take a kick to my backside. Account discontinued, suspended and if possible, closed.
Zipped!Is it wrong to promote my website by going around telling the whole world I have a new blog and its happily owned by the whacko me? It’s obviously is a big No-NO to Google Adsense.
So ladies and gents out there, if you have a sudden traffic within a month of you stay at your new webbie, it’s best not to get Adsense implied onto your website. Unless you like getting a kick by them.
Oh well… better luck next time.. So in the meantime, I am certainly putting up new Ads in replace to the Got-My-Backside-Kicked Adsense, at least it makes more money than them!
hahaha..

Holiday Decisions
It seems my friends smelled my intention and gave me a large dose of anti-lazy-bum holiday speech and proceeded to dump me a pile of what they named as Good Holiday Websites. After short listing the whole lot of them, I've decided to check on the ones that I've picked.
I need a site that has a good compilation of good and yet cheap hotels, places of interest, a local map of the area and of course, the places where all of the good food is cooked and I got orlando hotels.
Other than the requirements I had listed down previously, this proves to be a very informative website with lots of info of the hotels accommodation, car rental rates and even vacation packages. At least it gives me a boost in making my holiday spot decision.
My friends would be so pleased.
Happy Diwali
So as to commemorate this holy day and respect my Hindu friends and all of the Hindus in the world, I'd like to wish all of the Hindus a Happy and Joyous Diwali. May the festival of light wash away all the years of pain and sorrow and replace it with the beauty of light.
Happy Diwali!

Kedai.tv
It's a pay per click website where users can earn while they click on ads which can be found when you sign up. Your hard work (I doubt clicking is ever hard) will be paid the moment you reached $10.00 and you can choose the type of payment you want other than your usual PayPal.
The best thing is for Malaysians and Singaporeans we need not need the hassle of having to wait for PayPal clear up with our bank when we withdraw the amount to our bank account. You can will be paid via local currency check or direct bank transfer (Malaysians will be receiving local cheques as your payment mode). Simple
Furthermore you earn what your referrals earn and if its an advertiser who referred to, you get more earnings! Which means your hardwork really pays off.
The whole idea is very good and I totally recommend others to join. But then you have to pardon the bugs that ran rampant once in a while. It is after all a newly built site.
Hehehe..
Doing a charity favor to my brother. http://kedai.tv
Krillion, Your Top Brand SEO
But I'm clueless as which brand and quality is good for me. There is so many HDTV being manufactured and tuned up every month and it's causing me a headache the decision making.
Luckily I have my trusty advisor, Krillion. It has loads of information on the top branded products in the current market. From electronics to home appliances, it gives a very detailed information on each of the products.
Take a HDTV sony 60 inch LCD for example. It gives the product specification of the item, shipping weight and place of origin or manufactured. While the usual electronic stores we usually often head to when we need to get such items, the product specification is usually not accompanied with it when you browse through. You need a sales representative to clarify your curiosity.
But with Krillion, you can just type in the words at the search box and let the list run out. From there you can browse through the items you want and do your research at your own comfort of the house without the hassle of waiting for the sales representative to approach you.
Simple isn't it?
On the road of recovery
I'm even experiencing bouts of dizziness everytime I look at the computer for 10mins. Perhaps my doc is right, I am too stress.
I need to get a holiday... Haiz..

A good Life for Me
Insurance. I need a life insurance and have been telling almost the whole world that. But until now I couldn't find a suitable one for me. Browsing through the web, I found quite a few interesting sites and I got curious when I saw this phrase "Second To Die".
Yikes! Why would I want to be the second in line to die? Uh.. Actually when I check the link out, it turns out to be an insurance policy. Phew!
The policy turns out to be very sensible and interesting one. Its a joint life insurance, quite similar to the universal with the exception that it covers two people instead of one. So you can save a bit more instead of getting two life insurance policy.
But this policy is not focusing on the surviving spouse when the other die. Instead it focuses on anchoring the properties of the spouses to their heirs when the spouses passes on. Since the federal taxes in the US is quite high when it comes to properties, the chances of their heirs not getting inheriting any of their parents property is nil.
Very interesting policy isn't it? But then it depends on the parents. If their children is good to them, they could inherit something, but if they are not.. then... It's best we children start pampering our parents!
Fat cat
The old gal is 10yrs++ and that was when I first adopted her. Poor gal can't even hunt her favourite food, birds and mice. She has to rely on Chicken Curry and Asam Pedas Fish Head for lunch and dinner. Oh and don't forget Fried Chicken as her breakfast!
Poor gal.. I really need to find a baby kitten to replace her just in case. But then Kontot (that's her name) would get all hissing at me when she finds out I'm having another stray around.
Hmm.. perhaps I get those that has unique spots on their fur..

Capella University
I'm currently thinking of partaking in online university but isn't sure which one. I need a well recognised University which can be used in the UK but with affordable pricing and flexible courses.
So capella university came in mind. I browsed through it but wasn't quite happy that they don't have English Language as one of their Programs. Don't ask why but I've always had a weird fascination with English Language and Literature.
They do however have Multimedia and Graphics Degree. They have interesting courses which I will need to use when I deal with the company's network problems again. I wonder if they can refresh my memory on the PHP and XHTML stuffs I learnt a few years back. The pricing is $300/credit. I'm not sure how it works in the US but I'm gonna give them a mail for it. Or I can just take up their free Online Seminar.
They have corporate alliances!! These means I can get the Boss to get some write up and put me there! Of course I have to dangle the Discount Chart at him to get him to move or I can just act that I've had a memory zapped off and telling him I need a refresher course.
Once I get everything figured out, I'll come back later. In the meantime I'm checking out their website again. I swear I saw that Business Studies somewhere..
Horror movies or just Gore?
Nowadays Horror Movies are engulfed in gore and you can even see the details of it as the entrails and particles of brain cells fly around the screen. What happen to the old Scary Movie like Freddy Cooger and Ju-On and those classic Cantonese ghost movies? These movies are becoming more and more depleted while the new Gore Movies take over.
I really miss the times where I really had to cover my eyes with the cushion/ pillow when the jumping Chinese Vampire wakes up from the coffin and chase after the sputtering priests for his meal.
Ju-on also was another quite recent horror movies that doesn't involve too much violent but they sure have a great storyline and sound effects. Until now I would still get shaken while I watch Ju-On at midnight.
So why the high violent content? Does high violent content means we get more scared? I thought it was suppose to be a Horror Movie whereby evil spirits wonder around and scare everyone witless. Instead we get zombies with teeth that really needs dental check ups ripping up all the meat they can get their crumpling hands on.
But the funny one was I saw a particular movie that made my stomach turned bonkers. Sheep turned zombies and munching on human flesh for grass. Come on! A Sheep?? There are reasons why they are vegetarians, herbivores; They have blunt teeth! Not sharp canines! So Little Lamb Chop cannot be Big Bad Wolf. Totally wrong!
Movie makers and especially script writers need to get their mental check. If this is the type of movies they are marketing these days, I wonder what the future may hold for Hollywood.
Sims2 got new stuff!!
The Sims 2 Bon Voyage is a total gamer! Of course I would still prefer their previous expansion pack, Open for Business, but this one is more for the adventurous Simmies. So I'm not gonna get that one.. unless somebody came up to me and start bragging about the goodness of the expansion pack.
Should I order it or not? I've had all of the previous expansion packs (yes I'm that fanatic) but then I don't think my computer can take the impact. Grr.. Ya la.. my desktop is going bonkers on me.
Drat! Seems I need to buy a new desktop first before I get the expansion pack.
Disney World
Someone referred me to this particular site when my still-on-going fascination with Disney World was basically plastered onto my face. The theme park happens to be in Orlando, Florida USA. Did some surfing and was once again engulfed in the magic of Disney. I can buy Disney Tickets at a very discounted price and you can also choose Park Hopper, Water Fun Park or No Expiration Option Magic ticket.
Interesting package but I'm still sticking to my Seven Dwarves.
Gastric Pains
So now I'm dashing through my medicine box, downing the pills and hopefully won't die looking like a puffer fish. I feel so bloated like a balloon!!
Be back when I'm deflated..
Double Time
Not sure what its gonna be.. but able to become my work-horse is more than enough to suffice me. Poor old gal. Don't die on me yet, I still need you...
