Something Miss Bea tagged me on. Haven’t done a “mee-mee” in ages.

Where is your cell phone? Right next to me.

Where is your significant other? Outside watching the telly.

Hair colour? Dark brown. It’s back to its original colour, although the ends seem to be a tad lighter.

Your mother? Back in Malaysia

Your father? With my mother :p

Your favourite thing? My smelly bolster. Can’t sleep without it.

Your dream last night? Hmm, can’t remember.

Your dream/goal? To lead a happy and contented life and doing what I love doing whilst getting paid for it.

The room you’re in? The bedroom, which is also my workspace.

Your hobby? I agree with Bea; it should be HOBBIES! That would include surfing the Internet, reading, listening to music, playing with my iPod, blogging, shopping, and many many more.

Your fear? To die lonely.

Where do you want to be in 6 years? Have kids and run my own business. Fingers crossed.

Where were you last night? Had tea and dinner with some friends at Olinda, and then Boxhill.

What you’re not? I’m not skinny.

One of your wish list items? A home of our own

Where you grew up? Penang, Malaysia

The last thing you did? Chat with Geekchic via email. We do this almost everyday. Sad or what? :p

What are you wearing? Tee shirt and shorts.

Your TV? A Samsung HD LCD. Watching blu-ray movies in 1080p is freakin’ awesome!

Your pet? I don’t have pets here, although I did have a few fishes at some time. I reckon I’m not fated to own fish or something. Even the hardiest ones die on me in a very short time. Sigh. Have a mutt called Tiger in Malaysia. I’d love to have a dog here someday.

Your computer? I use my husband’s laptop during the day, and my notebook and the EEE PC at night.

Your mood? Peachy, ‘cos Christmas is coming!

Missing someone? Not just one person. My husband when he’s at work (aww!), and my family and friends back in Malaysia

Your car? Back in Malaysia. I don’t need one now as I live very near the train station and have plenty of access to bus stops

Something you’re not wearing? My watch. I only wear it when I go out.

Favourite store? Priceline. In fact, I go there so often; Tim thinks I should just work and live there.

Your summer? Started off mild, but it’s picking up. So bloody hot today!

Love someone? ME! 😀

Your favourite colour? I’m changing the question to favourite colours, as I don’t have just the one favourite colour. Pink and purple. Favourite colour combinations would be baby pink and black, and blue and brown.

When is the last time you laughed? This morning, while keeping Ugly Betty on in the background. I need sound on when I’m on the computer.

Last time you cried? A few days ago. A very heated discussion with the hubs got me a tad emotional.

Are you a b*tch? Not usually, but I can be a bad one when I want to be

Favourite position? Clean kind – on my back (I can’t really sleep on my side, and definitely not on my stomach); dirty kind – everything else (oh you figure it out) 😉

Favourite past time? Shopping!

Are you a hater or a lover? A lover definitely

Are you genuine or fake? Genuine most of the time, but I can do a fake when I need to be.

Any vices? Makeup, bags and latest electronic gadgets. The evil evil things.

Pro life or wire hanger? Pro-life as much as possible, but believe that people should have the choice to do what is needed to be done.

McCain or Obama? Obama, ‘cos it’s time for a change. There’d better be a change.

Pro plastic or natural? Natural, but I don’t snub going plastic if it’s necessary.

Dream job? Writing for a beauty magazine, web design and/or running my own business doing something I love.

Over to you, Geekchic, Myystiqueen and LilMzMinx!

No Trying On of Clothes on Sale

Just a short post for now, until I sort out my Internet connection and a FOTD to come (thanks to some new makeup I received recently). Thought I’d pose a question to y’all today. And it’s something which baffles me entirely.

Why is it that, during sale periods, clothes which are on sale not allowed to be tried on? I mean, it’s a clothes store. There are fitting rooms. You can try on the clothes which are not on sale, but not the ones which are on sale.

I’ve seen a lot of this going on in Malaysia, and it really annoys me. I don’t get it. Are they afraid we’d rip the seams of the clothes or something? Or that the clothes were wonky in the first place, so that’s why they were on sale?

If I don’t get to try the clothes on, I’m not buying ’em, not matter how cheap they are.

Worst of all, you can’t even return the clothes if it doesn’t fit you! In the UK, during Boxing Day sales, we weren’t allowed to return the clothes for about a couple of days past December 26, but we could return it after that (we normally did not try on the clothes during Boxing Day sales. The queues to the fitting rooms were horrendous). It made the job easier for the very busy sales assistants during the hectic sale period. Very reasonable, right?

But not in Malaysia. Nothing can be returned. The clothes on sale cannot be tried on. Gah.

Any idea, ladies? Enlighten me, please.

How I Met Your Mother on Entertainment Weekly

Something non-beauty related for a casual warm Saturday.

I don’t know about you, but I am a huge fan of the sitcom, “How I Met Your Mother” (HIMYM). Neil Patrick Harris is such a gem. I adored him as Doogie Howser MD, and as the womaniser Barney in HIMYM.

Go Barney! 😀

Anyway, I was just doing my usual Internet browsing, and stumbled upon this photoshoot the entire cast did for Entertainment Weekly in ‘The Best of 2008′, and I have to say, it was freakin’ genius.

HIMYM on The Olympics

Favourite Barney line (sorry if you don’t watch the show :p) – “That’s so NOT Raven!”
