Like Mother Like Daughter

Tinseltown Moments #2


This is 8 year old Ava Phillippe, daughter of Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon. Isn't she mini Reese?...she looks so much like her mummy

Blonde, beautiful, mother, an A-list actress and she's one of my fav - Reese Witherspoon


Talking about like mother like daughter....when I look at CJ, she looks like me when I was a little girl...it's a joy seeing her growing up so fast without realizing that she was just a tiny baby last year and am proud going through motherhood after all.

Career Expo 2007 & Launching of Sabah Job Centre on 13 Nov 2007

I was involved in the Career Expo 2007 yesterday organised by the Ministry of Resources & IT Development. There were about 90 booths all stretch up along the road near Wisma Bandaraya. Visitors who came to the expo are mostly job seekers whom are fresh graduates, school leavers and of course the unemployed. Many youngsters came to visit our booth cos we have an HR Manager with us from the Sabah International Dairies (the company that supplies the 'susu sekolah')...lucky for us and she has the recruitment form to fill by those job seekers....they all seems desperate to have a job. One of them..only has SPM qualification and without any working experiences expect salary of RM1,000↑....oh my guttt..I think working experience is more important and valuable than having a degree cert actually (it's only paper).

Anyways, at noon there were some performances by Adam AF2, Evoke from Gangstarz Reality Show (I heard they are Sabahans too) and other local artists. Unfortunately didn't get to see them cos me and my boss packed up earlier by lunch time and left the booth empty..kakaka but did manage to get some pics of the event lah.

My boss supposed to attend the last day of the International Women Executive Congress 2007 which feature one very interesting paper by Datuk Jimmy Choo, the world renowned London based Malaysian shoe designer (he became more famous for being the late Princess Di's favourite shoe designer..I think), but because of this expo she has to missed it..damn. Just imagine the fee to attend this conference (for corporate) is like RM2,580...but of course they invited quality speakers but since many complained that the fee is too high, they lowered it down to RM1,780..still expensive though.

The stage...the local artists will be performing


Went to see this particular booth that quite interest me...these people from Ampal Production who handles the sound system that day (company owned by Abu Bakar Ellah..I think)


They are promoting and selling our local artists CDs...got a few ringgit discount on that day only

Instruction For Life

Here's something interesting to read and observe to brighten up your day. I posted this once in my previous blog and it's one of my favourite list to observe in life and I don't mind sharing it again. It's good!

Instruction For Life: A Mantra From The Dalai Lama

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three R's: Respect for self, Respect for others, and Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
7. When you realize you've made mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
13. In disagreements with loved one, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
14. Share your knowledge (and talents). It's a way to achieve immortality.
15. Be gentle with the earth.
16. Once a year, go some place you've never been before.
17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

Creative Images

Look at these two pictures....open up your eyes wide enough so you can see clearly what's cool about them.

This is for the ladies


And this is for the guys


It is a cigarette holder but it's also cool to store namecards

Cool Mamas

Tinseltown moments #1

My two favourite celeb's and cool mamas!


Angelina Jolie and her adopted daughter Zahara with matching Valentino Histoire handbags. Baby Z is one lucky little girl and gets cuter everytime!


Gwen Stefani with her 17 month old son, Kingston.
Don't you just love her L.A.M.B Clothing Line?! She's truly a fashion icon.

Here is one NOT SO COOL BUT PITY MAMA......

Britney Spears
She looks more like mental patient here....I think being a pop star at a very young age despite being super rich is kinda stressful. I hope she would regain custody of her two young sons very soon (well, just hope she will get back to her feet soon enough) because these two boys need their mama than being cared off by their daddy and Britney's ex-husband K-Fed.

Read this out...a message from Paris Hilton on Britney:

I told Brit I’d write a bulletin on here to try to clear some news to at least the people who are on my list…
Lately, you’ve been seeing pics of me and Britney partying (blah blah) and she knows that some of her fans are very upset about what they call her “behavior” and sadly they’re blaming the issue on her being friends with me. Yeah, me and Brit have become really close in the past few weeks, and we’ve gone out a lot in the past few nights, but I never influence anything she does, and neither does anyone else.

Brit is her own person and she deals with her own things everyday. For people to call out her parenting skills on behalf of her partying ethics is appalling. Britney loves her kids to death, and I know for a fact that it truly hurts her when she sees these cruel things being written about her.

She goes home every night to her babies and partying has not come in the way of her parenting. Anyone who has called her out on this should really be ashamed. There are thousands of mothers out there who like to go out and have a good time. But, you do not see people out there calling them “bad parents” She’s young, and if she wants to go out and have some fun, let her. Just because she does these things does not mean she doesn’t care about her children. For the sake of Britney and her kids, be kind!

Love, Paris


That is something sweet to say.....yeah, I agree with you Paris!

Life these days

Finally...I have some time to share some new and not so new stories here. Again..have been busy these days...no time to really blog but can find time to read other people's blog..hehehe..I guess I'm a lil bit lazy to blog nowadays...but I was pretty productive at work though..so that's good!

Mmmm..let's recall some stuffs I did...

1) Escaped some time off from work last Wednesday afternoon, 24 Oct..right after attending a meeting. Had lunch at Kopitiam with my gal pal, Melissa..this time is my treat. Did not eat the curry laksa this time cos I was always adventurous in tasting something new....so I tried one of the menu of the day...I think it's called Nasi Goreng Andaman..honestly I didn't enjoy it but no harm trying.

Melissa with her favourite curry laksa...and mine too

Afterthat we visited MV. Doulos..this could be my last visit cos I heard Doulos will not sail to KK again for she's too old (source said that she's as old as the Titanic) and it's time to put her to rest...but again another floating bookshop called 'Logos II' would come to KK but not sure when..maybe in a couple of years to come. This time I puas hati..bought the books that I wanted and like and some children books for Carmen too.


The closest you can get to an orang utan

Some of the books I bought (which that I can afford..kahaha)

2) 1st attempt to write a children story..just started and just trying...then I'll get an English expert to edit my not so good English grammar and an illustrator..see if I succeed..wait for some update!

3) Trying out my selling stuffs skills (my dream to be a business woman someday still lingers on)...went to buy some packs of accessories like little purses, wallets and hairband which I think is nice and sellable from a retailer in Sinsuran. I tried to sell to some friends (me..being so tebal muka) and also get my Mom to help sell these little colourful purses @ RM2.50 each. So far, I managed to sell 4 purses. Hey...anyone interested to buy..very cheap one?

Colourful mini purses @ RM2.50 each for sale

4) I was invited by a neighbour to sing solo for her wedding this December...it has been quite awhile I have not been practising my vocal chords but I accepted the invitation. Have to find some nice wedding songs and a pianist later. Some of my friends are getting married in December...what a cool month!
