Dear Boss

Dear Boss,

I know that u have evaluated my performance well and im so happy about it. The longkang secretary of ours, Yati, has showed me the KPI (Key Performance Index) results when im not even supposed to know or look at it, and im wishing that the promotion mentioned before will come true. I so need the pay raise so badly and here are the things i promise..if i do get the promotion and the pay raise i wanted..

• I promise to come to work at 8.30am sharp instead of still figuring what to wear at that hour.

• I promise to have lunch between 1pm-2pm instead of 12pm-2.30pm.

• I promise to not overdress to work and make u look like a junior exec & make me look like the company Director.

• I promise to not fight about my parking claims and trouble you to force approve them when contractually im not liable for it.

• I promise to come back to the office after meetings outside the office, eventho it ends at 2pm and not head straight back home and watch tv.

• I promise to start my day at 9am latest (with no breakfast) and not 12pm as i do now.

• I promise not to claim all my outings to KLCC parking to the company as i know u have no clue that i do this.

• I promise not to blog or surf the net or chat with my best buddies on YM/MSN more then i do my work.

• I promise not to download anymore songs on Limewire & get the whole office server spoilt from some unknown virus that i dont even know of and that u dont even know it was me who did it.

• I promise not to lie to you about going out meetings whereas i was at some boutique openings at Pavilion and scouting on Spring Summer 08' arrivals.

• I also promise not to watch Ugly Betty or Desperate Housewives DVD at work when u think i was bz thinking and having such weird face expression or giggling alone probably to cool of my mind of work.

With all this sacrifices, i am asking your generous self to offer me the RM1,000 increment that i ask for with 2 months bonus to cover my ever long high maintenance credit card that will take ages to settle.

With my new condo coming up soon, i also have no more credit to splurge on anything fancy at all. As u know already, im a good worker..i perform, im disciplined, & i have beauty & looks (brains comes in second) that is important for the company as i tend to get people to think we are a smart working office..its alot of work u know to get up everyday to think of what to wear daily. It requires heavy thinking. I also need to get that 32 inch LCD TV to relax my mind after hard days at work and continue on performing my task tremendously the next day at work.

Anyway, thats all i want..i shall wait for the results..i wont dissapoint you! Please appreciate all the hard work i do for the office.

Your best dressed worker,

How Luxury Lost Its Luster

Its a book written by Dana Thomas. This book has been published quite sometime and i have been longing to read this 'all exposed' book about the fashion world. How they came about and how we are all stupid consumers who pay RM 2,500 for a pair of 'Made In Italy' made shoes only to know the origins was 'Made in Vietnam'.

Also insights on how the fake industry is so good now that they actually use the same material & stitchings as their original counterparts in Italy. Is it still called a fake? Even the originals are faking their Made In Italy's whereas their manufactured in Vietnam. Same material, same workmanships, and many more inside stories all in this book.

How do you describe luxury when anybody can afford it these days? mark up the prices to get a smaller group to earn them? My recommendation for pleasure reading and get points.

Will & Grace

U wanna know what can stop me from loitering around malls & wasting money on parking & expensive coffee seassions? Some of you might enjoy watching Sex & The City, The Soprano's, Lost, Grey's Anatomy or any other hit tv drama series..but my obsession are for these series..that i can watch over & over & over & over & over again without boredom..the humor gets to me..EVERYTIME..sadly it came to an end..by the eighth's season..

My complete DVD's..

Dear taukeh DVD at hartamas, please hurry with my order for this final season DVD's..It has been released so long ago already..why u so slooowwwww...

The final season..season 8..*sob* *sob*

Nokia 8800 Arte

Are you a "style-conscious consumer?" Yeah, then the 3G Nokia 8800 Arte and Sapphire Arte are for you toots. Just as long as you've got approximate RM4,500 pre-tax bounty saved up for the Arte or approximate RM5,200 for the Sapphire Arte when they ship in respectively. For that you get:

• 2.0-inch QVGA OLED display
• 3.2 megapixel camera
• 1GB of built-in memory
• Anti-fingerprint coating on the metal and glass, and a leather pouch with linen-lining to keep things tidy
• A turn-to-mute feature allows owners to quiet their phone by simply turning it over -- the phone equivalent of a huffy, raised-palm pirouette.
• And the rest of the features are the same as other high end Nokia's in the market.

Disadvatages:

• Poor legibility under direct sunlight
• Tri-band only
• No memory expansion
• Smallish display
• Expensive, believe it or not..

BMW X6

The new sleek BMW X6..

The range-topping X6 xDrive50i is propelled by an all-new twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 unit producing 407 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 446 pound-feet of torque between 1750 rpm and 4500 rpm. The sprint to 62 mph takes just 5.4 seconds and fuel economy is estimated at around 19 mpg (U.S. gallons).

The engine is designed as a replacement to the company's current 4.8-liter naturally-aspirated V8. It is expected to filter into other models like the 5-Series, 6-Series and 7-Series in the near future.

The engine seems to represent the second stage in a shift at BMW from high-displacement naturally-aspirated motors to slightly smaller turbocharged powerplants. BMW's twin-turbo 3.0-liter engine that powers the 335i and 135i has been met with overwhelmingly positive reviews, and it appears BMW is hoping for similar results with its new V8.

The X6's other engine is also a twin-turbo setup. The xDrive35i will come with the aforementioned 3.0-liter inline-six from the 335i, producing 306 horsepower.

Ralph Lauren Purple Label Cologne

Its the Limited Edition Ralph Lauren Purple Label Cologne. They have less then 500 bottles in the UK and US. Tried to get it from the UAE countries through my brother, but it wasnt available there as well as in any Asian countries. I came across this during my trip to London previously. Custom blended with notes of mahogany, suede and tobacco flower. The smell is simply a smell of a true gentleman. The smell of sophistication & elgance in a bottle. The price is of course higher than a normal range cologne..

Happy 26th Bday (Part 6)
