Scene on The Road

Ever wonder how many times you pick your nose in a day?
I was driving to work after I dropped off my mom to her office, waiting at the traffic light, I observed many drivers picked their nose. Eew... Disgusting? Well, not really until you do it publicly. All sorts of questions pop into my mind when I have nose itch. What if someone I know sees my embarrassing moment? What if someone takes picture of me? What if.... You wouldn't know.

Here are some tips on how to nose pick in public:

1. Put on a shades that cover half of your face, so that you are not recognizable
2. Benefit if you have long hair, hide your face and make sure no one sees it
3. Cover your nose with a piece of tissue and sneeze it out instead of picking it
4. Grab your nose, squeeze it and hold your breath
5. If you're wearing jacket or sweater, pull down the sleeve so that it  hides your finger
6. Go to the bathroom and pick as long as you want

Try it, let me know whether it works :)

Miss & Mister SE Asia Fitness 2012

Made my very first appearance for Miss & Mister SE Asia Fitness 2012 on the 30th November 2012 at Nouvelle Hotel as Miss JCI Malaysia. Congratulations to all the contestants who have made it to the Final and of course, the winners of the night! 

Let's do a little feedback here.

The event started at approximately 9pm when it is supposed to be 7pm, due to the late arrival of the judges and guests. Before the event started, when I was doing my make up, a make up artist shared that the contestants were late for their make up session. They make up crew arrived at 2pm, got ready to doll them up but they waited for 2 hours. Main reason is because of the rehearsal. Time Management is important, note that! 

In the midst of self preparation while waiting for my turn for my hairdo, I, as a Personal Assistant of S2 Slimming was assigned to interview all the contestants regarding to what they have learned from Amber Chia, Stella Lim and Director Hor. It was like hide and seek, I was searching each and every one of them, total of 23 contestants, up and down, in and out and I'm glad I managed to hunt for a few. Grabbed them at a corner and there they go, share! My killing 5" inches heels were killing me as Nouvelle Hotel ballroom ain't that small. The boys were easy to find but the girls, Gosh! Where were all of you! I assume they were hiding themselves in the room to prepare for their speech, catwalk, and etc. You know, girls...

After some time, I gave up. Mr. Sunny interrupted me when I was happily knowing the guys while waiting for my turn to get my hair done. He spotted me because I'm tall and slim, he even begged me to be the girl who holds a tray and stand on stage, giving out trophies. My Goodness! Me!? Thank You but NO thank you. He even told me some secrets that he dare not share it out to the organizers. There you go, no secrets with me : "I want to prove that the girls I find are better than the contestants. Take a look at the previous beauty pageant I organized, they are so outstanding and gorgeous and most of all, TALL." He showed me a slideshow of his when he was telling me. Sorry boss, I have to be frank with you, these bunch of pretty girls who have the courage to enter Miss SE Asia Fitness are the ones that have supported you in a way. Without all these contestants, there will not be participants, without them, Miss & Mister SE Asia Fitness wouldn't have made it. Be grateful.

Back to the topic, as mentioned above, the event started 2 hours late and people were all hungry. 9pm, Finally! There's food and the show began with "Oppa Gangnam Style" dance. The dance move was okay. The only thing I don't understand is, WHAT THE HELL ARE THE DANCE INSTRUCTORS DOING ON STAGE WITH THE CONTESTANTS! It is not as if the contestants don't know the dance move but the stage is for them and it is an opening ceremony, let them shine!

Another problem is, there were many Beauty Queens wearing crown with beautiful dresses looking gorgeous. I'm actually one of them but I don't know anyone so I isolated myself and sat at my seat with SK Tan. The Beauty Queens were introduced up on stage and in my mind, Hey, why am I sitting here, aren't I supposed to go up as well? Since I'm not one of them, why would Madam Lim wants me to wear my crown? What was my role that night? Miss JCI Malaysia? As her grand niece? A helper? I don't know. All the question marks were spinning on top of my head. Anyways, I wouldn't want any of the fame. I prefer being an audience, sit back and enjoy the show. Then, I wonder, where were all the Beauty Queens seated. I was searching from the front left to right, right to left, I didn't spot any one of them. I didn't give up, was still searching, then... I turn my head back. Spotted them! They were seated at an isolated corner right behind of everyone. I have 2 words for them that starts with P, "pitiful" and "pathetic". They should be treated as VIPs and appreciated but why!? I just don't understand.. I thank God that my seat was nice, right in the middle of the stage.

The most memorable moment I remember was bikini wear. The girls are all dressed in exotic red bikini and the boys OMG! They look hot! But in a way, like a gigolo. Oops! Sorry to say that but it's true. I shall let the pictures to do the talking.. 

Once again, Congratulations to the winners! For more pictures and updates, click on the link below:

InPublishers 9th Anniversary 2012

Spending my 2 months semester break working for Stella Lim, Founder of S2 Slimming as her Personal Assistant indeed has given me an opportunity to attend various type of events that I get to meet celebrities, artists, owner and founder of big companies.

iNPublishers 9th Anniversary is one of the big event I attended. It was held at ilLido Italian Dining + Lounge Bar located at Kuala Lumpur, somewhere near KLCC. S2 Slimming has sent their beloved angels to greet the invited guests. The angels are both dressed in white, they have given each and every one a complimentary pass to enjoy S2 Slimming treatment for free. 

My role is to make sure the angels are showing their love and care with their beautiful smile. ilLido is a three-storey lounge. They have an opened-air rooftop where it is directly facing Malaysia's Tallest Building, KLCC. When I was on my way to the stairs up to the rooftop, I sprained my ankle by walking in the air for half a second and I was screaming out loud in my heart. Just imagine, wearing a 5" inches heels and your ankle sprained all the way down to the ground. Ouch! But I thank God that no one is around, or else the entire people in the room will be giving me their weird look.

While waiting for Stella's arrival, I managed to climb my way up to the rooftop to take a rest. Looking at the fascinating view, thinking why was I alone. I looked down from the rooftop and there goes the tradition of Kuala Lumpur, JAM! Stella was stuck in the jam and I received a call from her saying her orange heels doesn't match with her white dress. She suggested me to take a look at it, I'm glad she trusted my sense of fashion. When she arrives, it doesn't match at all. So, the solution is to get a pair of size 3 heels from the nearest shopping mall, that is KLCC.

I was waiting for the driver to send me over. I called and waited for almost 15 minutes with my ankle hurt and the driver showed up. Not in the car but walking towards me. Oh My Goodness, please don't tell me I have to walk all the way to KLCC with my injured ankle on a 5" inches heels and there it goes, we walked! Zulfadly, the name of the driver accompanied me for the entire "Stella Size 3 White Heels Hunting" journey. I made a friend :) An hour later, I finally and happily managed to find a size 3 heels for Stella, quickly took a picture and watsapp her. My phone rang, "Sherleen ah, didn't know you're still finding my heels. It is okay my dear. You may come back. It is dark here, no one could really notice my heels. On top of that, the theme is colorful and I'm glad I'm wearing an orange heels" says my boss. Great fullstop!

After a long walk to and fro, the angels called, "Hello Sherleen, I have done my job, can we go now?" asked the angels. "Yea, wait in the rest room, I'm on my way back." I replied. When I walked in, the angels took of their wings and ready to take off the outfit but I noticed the free gifts are still lying neatly in the box. As the person in charge of these 2 girls, I made myself clear once more and they get back to work again. *grin* While the girls are walking around, time for me to see is here any familiar faces. Really an honor to meet Datin Maylene for the first time in person, introduced by Bryan. I always see her on photos with my grandaunt, she has been very supportive and outgoing.

We took off around 9.30pm and went Jalan Imbi for our late dinner aka supper with Datin Maylene, Winnie Loo, the founder of A Cut Above, Bryan, 3 staff from A Cut Above and of course not to miss out, Stella Lim. Loadsa laughter and interesting stories from each and everyone of them. They are friendly and just like us, normal people living in this corrupted world. Their achievements are the ones that people look up to. They have gone through a tough journey before they have became who they are today and I have so much to learn. 

Once again, Congratulations to Iko, the founder of iNPublishers and his wife, Ianie. Both of them are so loving. Cheers!

10 Ways To Keep A Relationship Working

1. Communication - discuss the events that are causing the challenges in your life. Talk about what can be done to improve the situation as well as the pros and cons to the solutions you have each suggested. Keep the lines of communication open at all times for one another.

2. Honesty - Always be honest about your feelings. When you buff a situation with dishonesty just to get through it without too much confrontation or emotional hurt either on your part or your partner's, the problems will continue to linger in the back of your mind and may eventually explode in a sudden burst of anger directed towards your partner which can easily lead to a chain of negative events that can make the original issue seem petty. So keep it real.

3. Trust - trust in your partner and trust in yourself. You must trust in your mate's feelings and suggestions. Do not begin to question your partner's intentions during this time of more genuine issues that need to be dealt with. Trust in yourself to discuss the issues from your heart so your partner knows you are as much determined to find a solution as he or she is.

4. Acceptance - It is very important to accept each other's different opinions. You do not need to agree with one another, but accept each other's ideas and suggestions as a possible solution. Also, bring in your honesty at this point. State that you do not agree, but you are willing to hear them out. No two minds work the same, but together they may find one's strengths may help the other's weaknesses, and vice versa.

5. Compromise - As state above, no two minds work the same; however, compromise it the most powerful tool a couple can use to keep their relationship strong and functional. You each may have your own ideas, but when you combine them, the solution to any current problems will surface quicker than if you do not work together.

6. Step Back - If things get hot and friction begins to effect your communication, step back and give each other a breather. Take a break to rethink what needs to be said. Many times hind-sight is 20/20, therefore, if you take a break, you may be able to re-organize your thoughts and get back to communicating with a clearer mind. Do not get to the point where you both begin to say thing you may regret later.

7. Give In - Sometimes you cannot combine your thoughts to work together. Giving in to one another when you feel you have reached a dead-end with resolutions to what you are discussing, may be the only way out. Giving in is just another form of compromise that we all have to face at times. Don't be stubborn, open up.

8. Creativeness - Stay creative with your suggestions to solutions. When it comes to the common problems of financial woes, find some creative ideas to keep yourselves above water. Whether it is a side job, a yard sale, or even organizing a bake sale, you can always find creative ways to keep thelights on. Just keep them on the right side of the law, and you will find the money one way or another. If it is an issue specifically about your relationship, there are many creative ways to keep the love alive...wink, wink.

9. Humor - Always find the right moment to keep the atmosphere light. My husband is a pro at cutting through the thickness of negativity with a spurt of humor. Make your partner laugh, because if we don't laugh through trying times, then it may seem like an eternity before we reach the other side. A positive attitude is the key to making it through the challenges life puts in your path.

10. Take some "together" time - Find some time to just let it all go and enjoy each other's company. Whether you have found a solution to the problems you are dealing with or not, you need to put it all aside and spend some quality, problem-free, time together. Take a walk, go for a ride, watch a movie, or just cuddle. Remember why you chose to spend your life with the person beside you in the first place and go back to that feeling of contentment without all the reality that goes along with every relationship. Love each other completely.

Disciplinary Plan

What is Disciplinary Plan?
Disciplinary plan is an effective rule with Do's and Don'ts to achieve what you've planned.

I have been studying, working and doing things without knowing what I'm supposed to do. I have came out with an idea that is to set my own rules for myself. I believe success is based on how you self-discipline.

1. Wake up at 6.30am...

• I know this is quite impossible but as long as you've the perseverance to do so, all things are possible.

2. Gym every Monday...

• Monday is named as Blue Monday. Instead of feeling lazy to wake up, why not do the opposite by going to the gym on Monday morning? That will be great!

3. Spend at least 1 hour to study...

• Majority of us study few days before the exam. Instead of forcing all the information into your tiny little "CPU", spend average of "One" hour to study or to revise every day.

4. Get things done...

• Every one of us are given a task to be completed every day in our daily life, as a human's nature, we are so used to procrastinate. Let's change the culture and finish up everything ASAP.

5. Smile...

• Even though this is a disciplinary plan and it's going to be a tough one to follow the rules but make sure we don't forget to smile. A smile is the greatest gift that we reward ourselves. *cheese*

Driving You Crazy

I read an article recently and it is worth the laughter to share with..

"My brother's work colleague was returning home one night. As he drove along, he passed through a green traffic light. Immediately, there was the flash of a camera. Rather puzzled, because his was the only vehicle on the road, he reversed and drove through the green traffic light again. There was another flash. Convinced that the camera must be faulty, he drove home. Several weeks later, he  received two fines for 

not wearing a seat-belt."

Johnnie Walker Malaysia

I was deliriously happy that Brenda, Gina and I received an invitation from Yu Jin, CEO of HealthPro Solutions Sdn Bhd to Johnnie Walker Black Circuit. It will be such a great experience and brilliant thanks for the invitation by Yu Jin and not to forget, the person in charge of the passes, Charles, Senior Brand Manager of Johnnie Walker.

History of Jonnie Walker:

In 1820, in a small town in Scotland, a young man named John Walker dreamed of blending the perfect whisky. In 1850, applying the same principle he'd learnt from blending tea for his grocer's shop to blending whisky, John walker began creating exclusive blends for valued customers who placed private orders in his shop. 'Walker's Highland Whiskies' were soon created and launched to much acclaim. The business prospered and John's reputation as an expert blender spread throughout the west of Scotland.

John Walker's aim was to create a flavor and quality that could be relied upon time and time again. In producing exceptional blends for his most prestigious customers, he firmly established his two dearly held blending values: Quality and Consistency. These values have underpinned Walker product developments ever since.

The founder's original values are rigorously applied to blend each Johnie Walker variant. For instance, every dram of Johnnie Walker Black Label you drink will have been blended from over 40 malt and grain whiskies, each of which has been matured for a minimum of 12 years, some considerably longer.

Furthermore, your drink will have been two decades in the planning and drawn from up to 700 casks from across the entire country of Scotland, each matured in a slightly different way. This is an extremely complicated process for the Master Blender, with satisfyingly complex results and big flavor for the whisky enthusiast.

From as far back as 1860, Johnnie Walker has been gaining a plethora of impressive awards paying tribute to the whisky's taste and consistency. Each individual variant is honored almost annually with gold, silver and bronze awards in the word's most prestigious drinks competitions. Johnnie Walker Black Label is the most awarded deluxe Scotch whisky in the world.

In 2005, Johnnie Walker teamed up with Formula 1 constructor team Vodafone McLaren Mercedes to spread awareness of the "Never Drink and Drive" message. Both teams have had a fantastic partnership, driven by the same desire to constantly innovate in the pursuit of success.

From humble beginnings over 190 years ago, today Johnnie Walker is the word's biggest Scotch whisky house and distributed across the globe for the enjoyment of millions. Where will he walk next?

MYC! Magazine

Many people asked, what does MYC stand for, it is Malaysian Youth College. Magazine where you could find at McDonalds, Colleges, Universities, Starbucks and O'Briens. They provide internship to college and University students to gain experience in their field, determine if they

have an interest in a particular career and most importantly, create a network of contacts.

How did I find out about MYC!?

One fine day, when I was studying in a library, I received a call from MYC intern, Elaine. She is a friendly and outspoken young lady who is currently studying at TARC. I was chosen to be on their cover page model for July Issue 2011. So, I googled about MYC! and I find it interesting as they help young Malaysian students

to get their degree by listing the available study loans, aka Scholarships, which is what I personally would like to help the youngsters in future.

Below are some photos with MYC! Magazine, July Issue 2011:
