Asian wins Miss Universe

Well...it's not our Miss Jessica Tan

But an Asian country, Japan has for the second time (first in 1959, also first time an Asian won) won Miss Universe when 20 y.o ballet dancer Riyo Mori was crowned this year's Miss Universe in Mexico this morning.

Well, things weren't all smooth sailing though as I heard she was all emotional and almost dropped her diamond studded crown! (Not to be outdone, Miss USA fell on the ground)


But it's fantastic that an Asian done us proud by winning the Miss Universe! Congrats Riyo!

Not only that, another Asian also made it to the finals, the sweet sweet Miss Honey
(i kid u not!) Lee of Korea










Other special mentions are semifinalist Farung Yuthihum of Thailand and Miss Philippines Anna Theresa Licaros who was voted Miss Photogenic (it was third year in a row for a Filipina delegate to get the special award).

Dedicated to all my deskbound working frenz

I believe this is wat we all need when we are at work. This is proli the one single useful program we all wanna have!

Blessed Birthday Terence!!!

Todae's my best pal's birthday! Poor dude had reservist training and was sick all week though...well, hope he enjoyed his day nevertheless!

Terence, may the days ahead be filled with joy; less spending your weekends at work, and more free time for yourself!

Anything? Whatever!

Cam & I tried the new drinks today

They tasted good! Cam got Whatever, and I, Anything (and we were making puns and jokes all the way from Paragon to Tangs, we even came out with a good ad idea...any takers??!!)

Basically, Anything is a carbonated drink and Whatever's a non-carbonated one. 6 flavours and u never gonna know wat u get...so it'll realli be anything and whatever!

So... the ones we tried were nice (dunno abt the other 5 flavours). Cam's got the apple tea flavoured one, which btw, tasted better than my coke flavoured one.

here's me with Anything and Whatever...(at da watch counter...)

Bottomline: Cute, novel, pretty cool drink with flavours to match. Whether it fizzles out depends on u the consumer

P.S: 'Anything' & 'Whatever' is available at major supermarket, coffeeshops, convenience stores, and petrol kiosks across the island.

PPS: The flavours so far are...Coke, Coke with Lemon, Apple, Lemon, Root beer, Ice lemon Tea, Peach Tea, Jasmine Green Tea, White Grape Tea, Chrysanthemum Tea, and Apple Tea.
PPPS: Man...chk out the Anything website! Esp the ads...simple yet brilliantly farnee!

PPPPS: Fer more fun and laughters, chk out their teaser site too (hint: try clicking on 'No'!), reminds me of a certain Bush Vs Kerry Elections funny ad

The 10 (Health) Commandments

I got this from Belinda's article (I-S magazine), I thot it was helpful as well as farnee

The 10 Health Commandments

Live by these rules if u want a healthier, longer, better life

I. Thou art the sole Lord of thy appetite; thou shalt not adopt thy favourite restaurants as thy gods.

II. Thou shalt not mention the concept of Exercise in vain, and shall make every effort to climb the stairs instead of taking the escalator or elevator

III. Thou shalt keep the Lord’s day cigarette- and lard-free

IV. Thou shalt honour green leafy vegetables, fruits, and plain water-as well as exercise equipment and gym facilities.

V. Thou shall not kill, or even think of killing the person in front of thou in the queue who bought the last piece of chocolate cake in front of thy incredulous eyes.

VI. Thou shalt not commit adultery and ingest more than one type of vice-filled food at one time, on any given day – no matter how depressed thou art.

VII. Thou shalt not surreptitiously slosh down copious amounts of alcohol and think that no one cares. We assure thee – God sees all

VIII. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour and pretend it was he who absconded with the last piece of chye tao kway

IX. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife – unless she owns a gym and thou wishest to use it for free

X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s char kway teow, orh luat or any other dish soaked in salt, oil and fat. Amen.

My hectic day!

I just came back from a loooong day at work.



Today was a closed door affair at CK Tang...nothing sleazy. It was an exclusive event for those who possess a Tangs/Citibank credit card.



Anyway, today was the best sales I had. ever! And it's not just because of the 12% rebate storewide (some of the customers sneaked in!)

I was like ultra busy (not like the usual idyllic day at Tangs lol =P), I can't believe I sold 3 BCBGs in the space of 3 days since it first came in on Monday!  I mean, each watch costs about $300, and the customers didn't bat an eyelid when they checked the price. WOah...plus 2 of the watches sold were meant to be given as gifts to their friends! Some (rich) people...



And so...(drum roll) the final tally at the end of the day was: 10 watches sold! and sales were about $2000+! woohoo!



(average sale on a day is usually about 2 watches lol)
