Not everyone is as fortunate as you and me. There are many children in the world that are underprivileged with nobody to help. Children are the innocents, and sometimes, they can’t help themselves. You can’t expect them to start working and be business people or study smart with nobody to guide them. They have not even develop their knowledge well enough. SO many of them are left uneducated and not knowing the bigger world out there.

Amante Nail Spa & Body Care will be hosting a one day charity fair on the 7th September 2014 (Sunday. yay!) from 10am to 6pm. Who is the charity for? GOOD SAMARITAN HOME – a non-profit community to help out the poor and needy children since 1999.

As some of you may know already. On Tuesday,  my car was broken into.

It was a very horrifying experience for me even though it may be just a minor incident for anyone else.

At 9pm after my dinenr at Taman Megah, I went to a local sundary shop to buy some groceries.  It was located next to Fatty Crab, one of the famous where-to-eat place in Kuala Lumpur and there were loads of people around outside waiting for seats. I parked my car (driver side facing towards the mainroad) at the main road, and went down to grab some stuff. I left my car for only about 10 minutes. 

As I walked towards my car, I did not notice anything unusual or anyone near enough. I unlock my car remotely and got into my car. As usual I would place my handbag in the middle compartment.  Right as I looked up, I saw this

I was stunned and shocked for about 5-10 seconds not knowing how to react and i instantly looked around to see if there was anyone nearby or hiding in the backseat of my car as well.

I locked my car, started my engine and started moving because I felt it was better than staying and being still. Not knowing whether or not to make a police report or whatso. I made phone calls and kept moving around.  Little did I know, my uncle whom I stay with was at the same row of shops as well!!!

Nothing was stolen as they did not manage to take anything. And no I did not have any valuables in the car.

They did not manage to break in successfully.  As I have installed the security anti-smash film. It took them longer and requires much harder work. They were pros and smart and knew what and how to do it.

P/S my car alarm did not go off as they did not hit the car alarm wiring system.

I remember driving back home that night and to the workshop the next day to hear crackling noises of the window glass and until today, I still fear those noises. And everytime when I close my doors, I feel it being fragile.

I fixed my car the next day. But there was nothing much I can do about it. I wouldn’t and cant imagine how would it have been, if I was in the car or stuck in traffic. The fear is something no man or woman can handle at such sudden attack. But all I can say is. Keep calm. Take a deep breathe. And think instead of panic! Talk to yourself and maybe it helps to clear your mind. But do not be a mess and panic in situations.  Stay safe. 

Recently there has been a topic.

Money, power and fame is something that many of us chase after.  We turn into someone who we are not really. Without realizing it, the monster or devil inside overtakes you.

Im not trying to speak deep or be all philosophy and all that. But its something that has been bugging me. I’ve been asked this question many times. Passion or money?

I would always say passion. Then I get a respond “yea! Cause you never know how it feels to be poor to realize how important money is.”

First things first, I did not and never say money is not important.  But I was given a choice to pick between two. And yes I have had moments where I am down to RM1 in my wallet for the whole week or two. You can say I dont know how it feels to be poor all you want. But this is me, you don’t know what I have been through.

I’ve been through a phase where I felt money was so important to me. With money, you get fame and status, with fame and status, you get power. So it all starts with money. But….

When you have rm1, you would want rm100, and when you have that. You would go for rm1000 and to million and billions.

You hear so many stories on how fathers work double jobs or so hard and late for money, and end up not spending time with their families.

So I came up to this conclusion myself. People like that dont know how to love. There is no balance and in their mind, its all about money, fame and power. And they see nothing else. Why chase for a mansion with three floors and swimming pool and maybe even a lift in your house with maybe a ferrari and two or three merce and bmw and constantly changing cars every two three years. Or appear on articles and be known wherever you go? Im not talking bout people who were born with a silver spoon. But young people, generation-y people are all having that same dream. They want to achieve their goals and dreams before getting married or thinking of others.

What about building a future together?? Rather than building a future alone? Many people who chase money over passion often hurt people around then without realizing it.

So reflect on yourself, think what you really need and not what you want more. Be who you are and dont change to “fit-in”. Because those who mind dont matter, and those who matter dont mind. You always hear stories and quotes on how true friendship or true love can be tested and known when you are in trouble. 

Ever have that perfect pair of shoe that you could go all day with it. Run and jump in it and do whatever you want. Stand whole day in it? That perfect comfortable pair of shoes.  Be it heels or flats.

I am personally obsessed with heels and flats. All sorts of heels from wedges or platform to peep-toe to pumps or even stilletoes. But itd not every pair I own or come acorss that is OH-MY-GOD-SO-AMAZING.

My first pair of OMG heels were a pair of blue platform pumps from lipstick. A pair I bought from Myers while I was in Australia.  Unfortunately,  my friend misplaced it when I stayed overnight at her place and it went missing. AUD$80 gone.

I was devastated and when I went back to Australia,  Lipstick was carrying any of that collection.  So sad. So I bought two pairs from betts. Which was comfy. But just not it.

And a few more pairs after that. But in Jan thus year,  I was at Zara and there were having sales. Bear in mind, I dont really buy shoes from Zara cause there are over MYR200 for a pair.  I not that siao kay!

But!!! On that day, it was on sale. MYR79 only!!!! I was like omgggggg… have to buyyyy. When I tried it on. It was sooo comfy. Pig skin leather and all that. So I paid for it before I placed it back. From that day onwards, it became my fav pair.
It is comfy. It did not give me blisters at all!!! So I did not have to “break in”. I could stand all day. And that became my everyday wear heels. From office to shopping. And I was still fine all day.

But now… here comes my concern, I need to find another pair!!! Because this pair is breaking down soon already.  Sigh. And its not just the price,  design, material, comfy but the height and overall.

Hopefully, ill be able to find a new comfy everyday pair again.
