It must be that time of the year again....

It is coming to year end and I do believe that if you are in Sales, it is that time of the year where the numbers have really gotta chalk up before the financial year end. Of late, I have been getting numerous phone calls from Insurance agents, Unit Trust agents, Holiday, Time-sharing resorts and you name it, they've probably called me.

Some of the telemarketeers who call are actually nice and polite but once in a while, you do chance upon a rude one or one who insists on speaking to you in their mother tongue, even though your respond is in English. Some will not even give you a chance to respond whilst there are one or two who can be downright impatient.

A friend once received a call from a telemarketeer pushing for a fitness centre and was rather persistent about it. As my friend was feeling kinda bored at that time, he decided to entertain her. Apparently the conversation went like this.

Telemarketeer : Good morning Sir.. are you a member of any Fitness Centre currently

Friend : No. I am not but I would like to consider it.

Telemarketeer : That is very good as I am going to offer you a membership at the ABC Fitness Centre. It has branches everywhere....yada yada yada.

Friend : (interrupts) Does the centre have any standby doctors or medical officers?

Telemarketeer : I am sorry Sir. The centre has personnel trained in First Aid. Is that an issue Sir?

Friend : I am a diabetic and I have high blood pressure. Not only that, I also go into epileptic fits ever so often. As long as I am assured that there will be people around to help me. By the way, do you have special equipments at the Centre?

Telemarketeer : (pause) What sort of equipment Sir are you referring to?

Friend : You see, I am an amputee?

Telemarketeer : What's that Sir?

Friend : Oh, you see, my diabetes caused me to have one of my legs surgically removed and I have also scheduled myself in for a surgery to remove my left hand as a result of gangrene.

Telemarketeer : Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. But I think there will be some equipment that you are still able to use at the centre.

Friend : Oh, that is wonderful Miss. One more thing Miss, will you be there to help me with my application form filling when I come in?

Telemarketeer : The centre personnel will be there to assist you when you drop in Sir. I am only the Telemarketeer Sir.

Friend : In that case, may I know your name Miss?

Telemarketeer : Why Sir?

Friend : I just want to thank you and let the Fitness Centre people know how great you are in convincing a blind 70 year old man, suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure, with one hand and one leg to join the centre. You are an excellent saleslady. I really think more people like me should join the Fitness Centre. I would like to make sure the Centre knows how good you are.

Telemarketeer : (clink)

Friend : Hello... Hello....

My friend Billy must have been also at a the receiving end of such a call to for he sent me this video...

Ah So.. Now I Know What's Brazilian Waxing :)

I must have been living under a coconut shell or something. I have heard of a bikini wax but I never knew that there is a difference when one does a Brazilian wax instead. I learnt another new thing today :).



I am not sure how popular this procedure of a bikini wax is here coz I have never seen any advertisements in the papers or anywhere else.

I found a bikini waxing guide which would be useful if any gals or guys want to consider it. It goes like this....

"Bikini waxing starts with you disrobing and lying down on a table, you will usually be provided with g-string underwear but some salons do not provide this convenience. Then your pubic hair will be trimmed by the waxer because only around one fourth of an inch of hair is needed for the wax to grab hold to. Then the waxer will prepare the hot wax and spread the wax through the entire area with a waxing stick. After the wax has been applied, she will have to immediately apply a cloth strip above the wax while the wax is still hot and press the cloth to the wax. This is because the strip should stick to the wax so that when the strip is pulled, all the hair goes with it. Note that it will take a few moments for the wax to dry and harden before it can be removed.



After the wax has been removed, it is inevitable that some stray hairs will remain; your waxer will then have to tweeze all the remaining hair to give you a smooth and hair free skin. Bikini waxing starts at the front moving to the back the steps mentioned above will be repeated several times during your bikini waxing session. Your waxer will ask you to shift to the most effective position for all the hairs to be removed so don’t be surprised to find yourself in odd positions during your waxing session.

When the waxing is done, the waxed areas will be applied with a soothing lotion so some of the soreness will be removed. However, you may find that there are ingrown hairs and bumps that will occur several days after you waxed, this is quite normal but you can also ask your waxer for advice to minimize these inconveniences. If you are on your way to your first bikini wax, you can expect that it is definitely hurt a lot at the start. But with all the advantages that bikini waxing provides, the pain for a few moments is definitely worth it."

So how does it differ from a regular bikini wax? Basically, with the Brazilian, hair is removed in the front, back & everything in between. Most of the time a 'landing strip' is left in the front, but some clients opt for everything removed. Ouch.. that must hurt like crazy.

Trying to keep Mr Sandman away

Gosh.. I knew this was going to happen... trying to beat of the zzzz.. is so difficult. Was asked to join my colleagues at the Yong Tau Foo place at Jalan Tun HS Lee. This was actually blogged by Patrick some time back. Since Gluttony is one of my biggest and deadliest Sin.. I had to be true to myself. So I ordered 10 pieces and stuffed them all in and topping it up with a glass of iced chinese tea. Now, I feel like I am going to even fall asleep even while standing up.

Decided to "steal" some office time and surf abit. Looked up the movies that were coming up and ticked off some as "I want to see them at the Cinemas and NOT on DVDs" films.



Topping off the list will be Resident Evil.
Resident Evil: Extinction is again based on the wildly popular video game series and picks up where the last film left off. Alice (Milla Jovovich), now in hiding in the Nevada desert, once again joins forces with Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps), along with new survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke ) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti) to try to eliminate the deadly virus that threatens to make every human being undead…and to seek justice. Since being captured by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice has been subjected to biogenic experimentation and becomes genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive.


The Seeker:The Dark is Rising
Based on the acclaimed novel by Susan Cooper, THE DARK IS RISING is the first movie adaptation of the author's acclaimed The Dark Is Rising Sequence. The movie tells the story of Will Stanton, a normal young man who moves with his family from America to an English village There he learns he is the last of a group of warriors who have dedicated their lives to fighting the forces of the Dark. Traveling back and forth through time, Will discovers a series of clues and Six mysterious Signs which lead him into a showdown with forces of unimaginable power. With the Dark once again rising, the future of the world rests in Will's hands.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry
Good friends Chuck Levine and Larry Valentine are firefighters. Victims of circumstance, Chuck has to claim Larry to be his domestic partner on some city forms in order to beat some procedural red tape. They think it will be easy because nobody will ever know. After Chuck agrees, the two men go to Niagara Falls to get married, and Chuck moves in with Larry and his unsuspecting kids. However, an official becomes suspicious, and the new couple's arrangement goes from confidential to front-page news. Forced to improvise as love-struck newlyweds, Chuck and Larry must now fumble through a charade of domestic bliss under one roof. After surviving their mandatory honeymoon and dodging the threat of exposure, the well-intentioned conmen discover that sticking together in times of crisis is what truly makes a family.

Those in the pipeline would include

The Magic Gourd
A chance encounter with a magic gourd turns 10-year-old schoolboy Wang Bao's life upside down. Granting him anything he wants - from being the fastest swimmer to getting all the toys in the toy shop - the magic gourd enables Wang Bao to fulfil his dreams of doing nothing and getting everything. It's everything a boy could ever want...until Wang Bao gets into far more trouble than he has bargained for.

Disney's Enchanted
The tale follows the beautiful princess Giselle as she is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land--and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn''t operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid--even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home--she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?


The Golden Compass

Based on author Philip Pullman's bestselling and award-winning novel, The Golden Compass tells the first story in Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. The Golden Compass is an exciting fantasy adventure, set in an alternative world where people's souls manifest themselves as animals, talking bears fight wars, and Gyptians and witches co-exist. At the center of the story is Lyra (played by newcomer Dakota Blue Richards), a 12-year-old girl who starts out trying to rescue a friend who's been kidnapped by a mysterious organization known as the Gobblers - and winds up on an epic quest to save not only her world, but ours as well.

Just to name a few :)

JAZZTake the Transformers Quiz

Turns out, I am ...



Jazz picked his sports car form because it’s the epitome of style. If there’s one thing he digs about Earth, it’s human culture.

Like Jazz, you are good by nature. But beware because mischievous thoughts sometimes tempt you. Your leadership skills are weak at best. You will never be the commander of the Autobots. In addition, you enjoy being one step ahead of your friends as far as trends and technology.

The 36-year-old actor - who was in London this week for the premiere of The Bourne Ultimatum with wife Luciana - says he's feeling his age. "I've got more grey hairs than Brad Pitt," said Matt, 36, as he attended the big screen adventure's London premiere with wife Luciana Barroso. "We're not as young as we used to be."

The actor, who has a one-year-old daughter, Isabella, also added: "Fatherhood has changed us. No more late nights and hanging around Ronnie Scott's listening to jazz like we used to."
