I feel stupid...

Was reading this Marie Claire magazine. Saw an outfit that I like..very much that I was contemplating on getting exactly that. The pumps was by Nine West..$180. Uhhhhhh...cheap for a Nine West. How come ah?Total outfit was $380. Was raving over it to my husband. Was prepared to dash to wherever I can get those. Was even thinking of using my savings for it.
After all those exciting thots, I kinda check the date of the magazine....JUNE 2002!!! and the worst part is,it's Australian's version of the magazine...Sheeeeessssshhhh ...no wonder la the pumps so cheap.
Heheheheheh...bodohnye aku...Thankfully, I am human enough to admit it. Duhh...but definitely human.

***The email***
>>> "Prince Hammed Bolkaih" 13/11/2004 01:14:48 AM >>>
Hello,
Assalamu Alaikkum
I am contacting you for an Urgent Business Transaction
and further explicit investment information about your
country.
I need you to read this email message carefully
because it is very imperative.
I am Prince Hammed W. Bolkiah, the eldest son of Prince
Jefri Bolkiah who was the former Finance Minister of
Brunei, located in the northwest of the island of
Borneo.
Brunei Darussalam is a small country governed
according to Islamic values and traditions by His
Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin
Waddaulah.
The country’s official name is Negara Brunei
Darussalam ("abode of peace"). It is a member of APEC,
ASEAN, BIMP-EAGA, and the Organisation of Islamic
States as well as the United Nations and the
Commonwealth.
I will save your time by not amplifying my extended
Royal Family history which has already been
disseminated by the international media during the
controversial dispute that erupted between my father
and his stepbrother, the sultan of Brunei Sheik Muda
Hassanal Bolkiah.
As you may know from the international media, the
sultan had accused my father of financial
mismanagement and impropriety of US$14.8 Billion.
This was as a result of the Asian financial crisis
that made my father company Amedeo Development
Company and government owned Brunei Investment Agency
to be declared bankrupt during his tenure in office.
Prince Jefri was relieved of his post as Finance
Minister of Brunei and was stripped of his
chairmanship post as head of the nation's
international investment arm, the Brunei Investment
Agency in February 1998. The Agency controls 13
companies & Brunei's overseas assets.
In July 1998 the Sultan barred trading by Amedeo when
the world's biggest corporate debt of US$14 Billion
came to light.
In September the 1998, the Sultan ordered an
investigation of the BIA by accountants KPMG after
the Brunei government alleged that "large sums of
money" had been misappropriated to companies
controlled by Prince Jefri.
The Sultan then asked the Bank of England to help
track down an alleged L28 Billion of state and family
funds said to be "missing".
On the 02/10/1998 Prince Jefri Bolkiah flew from
London in a private jet and was going to settle
matters directly with Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.
Prince Jefri drove straight to his seaside palace at
Jerudong, about 10 miles south of the capital, Bandar
Seri Begawan. He was due to meet with officials of the
Amedeo Development Corporation and visit the sultan.
Relations between the Royals appeared to deteriorate
quickly. However, my father was kept under house
arrest, his bank accounts and private properties
including a crude oil export refinery & the sultan
also strip my father of control over three large oil
wells which were later confiscated by the sultanate.
Furthermore, during this unfortunate period i was
advised to evacuate my immediate family outside the
sultanate to avoid further prosecution from the sultan
and his security operatives, but before I could do
that I was placed under house arrest by the Sultan.
I have a Palm V hand-held computer from which I am
sending you this mail. Before my arrest, I went ahead
to dispatch the sum of US$500 Million in cash under
special arrangement into the custody of different
Private security and Trustee companies for safe
keeping abroad.
The money where splitted and kept in the following
countries in this proportion: US$50 Million is in
England, US$100 Million is in Spain, US$100 Million is
in Saudi Arabia, US$80 Million is in United Arab
Emirate and the balance US$170 Million is in Malaysia.
I am unable to reach my friends & associates whom
would have provided all the much needed moral and
financial assistance i require because my diary have
being siezed by my uncle Sheik Muda Hassanal Bolkiah
who is also the Sultan of Brunei.
Hence, I seek your good assistance to receive and
invest these funds into profitable investment in your
country to facilitate future survival for my family
abroad. I will compensate adequately for your strong
cooperation.
I am counting on your absolute confidentiality and
transparency while looking forward to your prompt
reply towards a swift conclusion of this business
transaction.

May Allah's blessing remain with you & guide on the
straight path, Amin.
Wassalam & Best regards,
Prince Hammed .W. Bolkiah
Brunei Darussalam.
NB: PLEASE GET BACK TO ME VIA MY MOST SECURED EMAIL
ADDRESS hammed_bolkiah@mmail.com

Sampul Raya

Notice tak sampul raya la ni makin besar. Tension betoi aku sebab rasa intimidated by it. Sampul besar, nilainya kecik.
Thankfully, I realize then, it's not the value but the thought that counts. Seeing the kids joy when they received one....not to mention my joy when I received one..Ahaks!
Tahun ni the duit raya I am giving matches my Maxis sampul raya. Apa lagi...warna corporate Maxis lah.
I am thankful as I have the kemampuan to make a few kids smile this raya. And Sara especially as she's gonna get a bigger portion sebab puasa penuh.She's only 6 mind you with a 21 years old determination.

Me and my Gardenia

Buka puasa nowadays can be very EXPENSIVE. RM 75?? Makan apa tu? And how much can you actually eat? Macam aku ni minum air je dah meleret senyum…satisfied. Unless kalau lauk terhidang masak lemak ikan kering, udang masak sambal petai dan ayam goreng masak merah…macam last weekend kat rumah Zurie, that’s another whole different storylah…
Back to the RM 75++ buffet tu…what do they actually serve la??? Once my former boss belanja we all for buka puasa kat Mandarin Oriental. It cost RM 60++ per head. Ada kambing bakar, sushi , nasi dan lauk, sate…bla…bla..blaa…tak ingat oh..and one heck of a dessert spread.
Those used to excite me…not anymore.
Tadi aku buka puasa makan fresh white Gardenia bread dengan susu pekat…
Mannnnn….that was the ultimate kesedapan….
For that dirt cheap taste bud …I am thankful.
