Sorry
I would like to appologize to everyone who had tried reaching me through my mobile (call or sms).
Thank you for all your early birthday wishes.
I am going through a rotten time.
I’m sorry for not responding.
I would very much like to be alone for the time being…
Paper Lingerie and Lightning
Yesterday was Ching Ming (the day we Chinese people go to the cemetery to tend the grave of our ancestors). Today we are supposed to be at Nirvana but i am trying my best to avoid it. I’m also trying to avoid being struck by lightning for being such an un-filial person. But i’d rather struck by lightning then my tail being stomped by pat kua (nosy) uncles and aunties.
On Ching Ming we are suppose to worship and honor our departed loved ones. We are suppose to clean the headstone, change wilted flowers with fresh ones and say our prayers before sticking in the incense. Food is laid out on the covering in front of the headstone. At the end of the ritual we are suppose to burn paper money and other paper-made necessities. See, we believe in after-life. I saw in the newspaper the other day that there are even paper bras available for sale.
Paper bra… taken from the Star
(Now that they have come out with paper lingerie, i think it’s about time we have paper condom. It must be darn crowded down there if you know what i mean. Safe sex anywhere right?)
Back to my point. Ching Ming is a family affair. The whole point of Ching Ming is to show respect for the deceased and to remember their good deeds. But for me the festival had become an excuse for a gossip gathering. It drives me crazy. I really can’t stand it! That and the fact that i have no respect at all for that certain deceased one.
Thanks god it’s not raining so there’s less chance getting strike.
Advertiser or Spammer?
I’m in a foul mood today. Spammer beware.

Received an email from someone with the name F. Balousha from ContactThem. Actually the email was in my spam folder. It goes something like this.
Hi,We’ve seen your website at http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/01/******
and we love it!We see that your traffic rank is ******
With that kind of traffic, we will pay you up to $4,800/month
to advertise our links on your website.

Sincerely,F. Balousha
The ContactThem Network
My eyes almost popped out when i saw the $4.8k. That’s like a lot of money. I mean it’s really way too much money for just an advertisement on my low traffic blog right? I don’t even get ads from Nuffnang anymore coz of my low traffic. *bummer! Sounds fishy but they got my rank and blog url correct, so i decided to check it out.
The man behind ContactThem; Stephan Ducharme *suppose to be a known marketer but i never heard of him lar so i don’t know lar, had created a system or program (whichever you like to call it), which promises too find leads. It’s similar to MLM actually. Every member will get a software that will help them find leads or contacts. So, the idea is to get the contacts to subscribe to ContactThem service and you’ll get paid a commission for the subscription. In other words, you spam your contacts with email.
Read the * disclaimer at the bottom of ContactThem page:
*These figures of earnings are examples to help you understand the earning potential – You can make more or less. There are no guarantees of income. *You are NOT paid per click, per impressions or for the period of time our banner is exposed on your website; you are paid per sale generated. You receive a sales commission when members join our paid membership upon your referral or your sub-affiliates’. Recurring monthly commissions are subject to members’ renewals. By default, 2 levels of commissions are paid; to access levels 3 to 10, you need to meet each level qualifications. Please take time to consult the qualifications for each level inside the affiliate area that explains everything in details.
So yes, they promise payment UP TO $4.8k alright. That is if you pulled your weight and remember, this is not a proposition to advertise on your website but actually an affiliate/MLM program.
Just so you’d know what you are getting into.
Quarter Life Crisis at 26
My birthday coming up *oh shut up, i’m not trying to promote my birth date! I feel right down in the gutter. I hate it. I know it’s supposed to be a happy occasion with birthday cakes, presents and well wishes. But you know what, i just don’t feel like celebrating… coz i can’t find any reason to celebrate. Turning 26 is not worth throwing any confetti at all. I am such a complainer.
Now you must be thinking “Here goes another woman’s whine about her wrinkly skin, eye bag and bye-bye hand (wave bye bye and the wobbly flab under your arm is bye-bye hand lor). Woman hor always scared to get old. Scared get fat lar. Scared people know her age lar. Whatever lar!“
But this time is different. I think… no… i know i’m having a quarter life crisis. Out of 16 symptoms, i hit 15… i mean like WTF?!
Characteristics of quarter-life crisis may include:
(Taken from wikipedia)
- feeling “not good enough” because one can’t find a job that is at one’s academic/intellectual level
- frustration with relationships, the working world, and finding a suitable job or career
- confusion of identity
- insecurity regarding the near future
- insecurity concerning long-term plans, life goals
- insecurity regarding present accomplishments
- re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships
- disappointment with one’s job
- nostalgia for university, college, high school or elementary school life
- tendency to hold stronger opinions
- boredom with social interactions
- loss of closeness to high school and college friends
- financially-rooted stress (overwhelming college loans, unanticipatedly high cost of living, etc.)
- loneliness
desire to have children- a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you
Reality bites… big time… sigh…

Malaysian Dream Girl Ada Seafood Boh?
I’m a reality show addict. America’s Top Model, Project Runway (i am addicted to this right now), Survivor, Apprentice, etc, i’ve seen it all. I’ve been hooked on it all.
However, when i first heard about Malaysian Dream Girl, i thought “Urghhh… not another Malaysian copy cat reality show?!!“. Then i found out that it’s the first online reality show ever in Malaysia and i thought “Oh god… they’re bringing the meaning of lame into the next level. I can’t bare to watch!“. I kept thinking of the Ah Lian(s)s, La La(s), See Ham(s) and other seafood variety that’s gonna grace my PC screen. I’m definitely not gonna watch it.
Seafood anyone?
Yet, i did (just for a peek) and i was so right…
and wrong.
The first few episodes was… yawn… nothing much… watch some skip some. The judges and host really need some intensive training from Simon Cowell. They are so predictable and maybe they are just trying too hard. Maybe someday we would have a reality show like Malaysian Dream Judge?? *hint hint
Anyways, i was dead on hooked from episode 3 onwards. Sufficient to say that i was still busy waiting for episode 7 and 8 to load at 3am in the morning. Ok
ok. I admit, i just tune in to watch the drama and the bitching and the crying and the who’s-not-doing-housework part thanks to Cindy. *wakaka!She’s the perfect villain isn’t she? I don’t know if she’s so bitchy in real life but she definitely annoys the hell out of me.
Fiqa and Hanis: I think her accent is a new hybrid. It’s from a land called WannaBeMatSalleh… maybe? *muahahahahaha!
Drool
My favorite was Valerie coz she’s darn funny and girl-next-door but hey this is not a Miss Congeniality Contest and she’s voted out already. Now i am just vouching for Fiqa… she’s sweet… wait no… i’m with Hanis. She’s dead funny and Jay… but Eyna is great in photos… great now i can’t make up my mind!
Personally, i think most of them are gorgeous but don’t really have a model look except for maybe Jay for her very prominent and defined face feature and her height.
Jay
Ringo is too petite, too cute-sy and quiet. *she’s better in writing than in talking hor
Ringo
Eyna photographs well but she’s so invisible… Eyna who?? *love her Women’s Secret photo though
Eyna
Cindy looks just like any other girl in 1Utama… and way too annoying. *ei you think you very pretty meh??!! No lor…
Cindy
Adeline has great photographs but… no character lar… too lembik. *can join Project Super Star.
Adeline
Hanis looks pretty and i love her character but no X factor leh… *will do great in tv commercial like sunsilk or rejoice but not in catwalk lor
Hanis
Fiqa
is outspoken looks more like a cute teenage actress in movies like Gol and Gincu. *she also looks like a rocker! Rox!
Fiqa
Nadia is great but she scares me… like ALOT. *tigress on the prowl. Roar!
Nadia
Don’t get me wrong, all of them are pretty and stunning. If i were to audition i think i’ll end up in the rejects in seconds. Whatever it is i’m sure if they don’t win they’ll end up in commercials or in tele. So no fret. Maybe next time around we’ll have season 2 with more talents.
Now who died and made me the critic *muahahahah!
Wei Malaysian Dream Girl people, faster load up the entire episode 8 lar. I want some drama and cat fight now!
