High on Pink

If you could travel anywhere, which MAS Stimulus Package will you use and why?

I booked a MAS ticket to Hong Kong for some retail therapy. The stimulus package I would've loved using for this trip would have to be the MH Flex ticket since it would actually be great to bring my boyfriend along rather than going alone. Even though I was alone, I still had an awesome time: -

Here’s what I’ve packed for the trip;

Lots of tights and socks

Juicy Couture Boots and other winter shoes

Accessories and bling

and so much more!

I don’t travel light at all! All I have to do now is figure out how to pack all of these.


Now I'm back in Kuala Lumpur and I'm so glad I'm back because I was so homesick!

Hong Kong is cold, full of rude Hong Kong people and I always get lost since I have no idea how to speak Chinese and Hong Kong people don't speak a word of English.

So in Hong Kong, shops are relatively tinier than ones in KL, but the presence of Juicy is everywhere. It's on double-decker buses and this one, on a wall at a ferry terminal. You take the Star ferry to Central (in Hong Kong island) than you will be able to see this. I took a photo only on my last night there.

In Hong Kong I love taking the ferry every time I wanted to go to the island and I always forget to take a photo with this advertisement. So I did in my final hours there :)

This is the Juicy Couture in IFC mall (IFC = International Finance Center). It's a huge mall with many designer stores.

It was also on sale but I didn't get anything from Juicy in Hong Kong because I bought more than 10 Juicy items the week before so I pretty much spent a lot already.

I also went to the Juicy in Times Square which is waaaaay smaller than this IFC one. The only difference with Juicy in KL is that they have Juicy Couture beauty products (perfume, shampoo etc).


Cam whoring in Juicy since I was alone on my trip :p

It's basically a mini version of what we have in KL.

I didn't go to the other Juicy shops because I had no idea how to get around since I couldn't really ask for directions.

But I got this from one of the shops in the MTR! (MTR is their train system which runs through the whole city.)

It's a fashion magazine called 'Xmilk' and was in this shocking pink zip lock bag. It was HK$30 and I bought it in a flash. The only fashion magazine I buy is Harper's Bazaar, but I thought this was an exception of course. Obviously I bought it because I was curious to know what was inside.

Written in gold glitter it says "Santa Believes in Juicy". Now I keep this bag to put in all my Hong Kong memories and souvenirs like tickets, etc.

Inside this pink bag was the magazine with a Juicy Couture feature but it was all in Chinese. Also in the bag is a gold envelope box.

Sealed with love. I was so excited I opened it right away in the bus.

It folds out to this

...and a Juicy Christmas shout-out from Gela and Pam "Peace, Love and Juicy Couture"

So what is it? It's a 2009 Calendar! The yorkie also has real diamonte pieces and 2 Juicy Couture pins stuck on it!

The pins can be used anywhere at all.....

...this is so cool because Juicy Couture pins cost USD48 for a set of 3!!!!

This is a set of 3 pins which retails for USD48


So anyway, overall my trip was OK despite the rude Chinese people there plus I made many new friends and cute ones too ;)

- owh yea, and I got the cutest Juicy Couture Calendar and a set of pins for under USD4!. Don't we love a good buy?

I just saw the season 4 finale of Desperate Housewives

Well for those of you who did catch it too, you would notice the bizarre ending which fast forwards the time to 5 years later (ala One Tree Hill Style) and you ask yourself, WTF?!

What happens to the other girls isn't as shocking as Susan's five-years-later future (although my idol Gaby suddenly has 2 little kids, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! I am so disappointed in her!).

We see Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher) in the last scene kissing........

OMFG, isn't that Brian Kinney (Gale Harold) from Queer as Folk?!!?? Where the hell is plumber-guy Mike???? Didn't she just had Mike's Baby???

So I tried to calm myself down. Maybe this is some sick humour and it's not a real 5 year reality in Wisteria Lane, it's just a joke.

But then I started Googling, and it is indeed (gasp!) their reality. Susan is suppose to be in a relationship with one of the gay TV characters I have learned to love so much for 5 seasons.

Which is unacceptable since Susan is annoying and we all know Brian Kinney (AKA Jackson in the upcoming Desperate Housewives)HATES annoying people.....and straight women.

So after 5 seasons of seeing Brian do this.......

.......and this

.......and this


....With 200 hot men, we finally see him eat pussy, I mean, be with the one TV character you would never want him to be with, or any girl for that matter.

Well, I'm still in shock since Brian will always be the ultimate gay alpha-male in my mind and no clumsy/silly/annoying Teri Hatcher is going to change that.

Brian, PLEASE DON'T BE STRAIGHT! WE LOVE YOU THE WAY YOU ARE!!!!!!! I represent the entire gay community when I say, when season 5 of Desperate Housewives go down, you will shatter this perfect figure of Brian Kinney in our minds.

I miss the time when they printed important matters like war and a giant earthquakes hitting some poor old country on the front newspaper's front page. But I guess they underestimate us sometimes, putting the dumbest headlines for everyone to see.

Can you imagine waking up, sitting down for breakfast, holding today's paper on one side and a cup of hot coffee on the other and as you sip your drink your eyes quickly scan the front page news - sodomy

I don't know what's worst. Having to wake up and read about sodomy so early in the morning or having to answer your 4 year old kid who have learnt phonetics enough to know how to read the word SO-DO-MY

I don't even know why we bother putting our national headlines on the internet. People all over the world would be saying, "What a peaceful and carefree country Malaysia is. Their biggest problem some old guy (with back problems mind you) raping a poor guy's butt to pieces". Who the fuck cares about who fucks who? Homo-phobes?? But there it is, for the whole world to see, butt-sex is not a taboo in Malaysia anymore.

And as our politics brews up stories like a bad script of a Grade-C porn flick; our stock market goes cuckoo, our Ringgit drops, we suffer from inflation (as if it was not enough that we need to feel the suffering of the rising oil prices) and most of all, we get sodomy news on our front page.

Today’s News: http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Tuesday/Frontpage/2318812/Article/index_html

Basically, the media is telling us, "Hey people, the ketamine that got stolen from the police station, was not stolen by a cop. No, cops are good, Malaysian cops especially. They would never steal drugs from the evidence room. The K was actually stolen by a small-time crook which was detained in the station, and he was a locksmith(gasp!) and he McGyver-ed his way opening his cell door, then he opened the evidence room, stole the goods, distributed to his other fellow in-mates, and they all got high! And the police caught this all in a CCTV!!!"

Wow, how I wished someone handed me a line if I was ever locked up in a police station. Those detainees sound like they had some awesome K party and K-holed from snorting 3keys of K! WTF, I'm surprised they are even alive. How many detainees does it take to get high on 3keys of K, SERIOUSLY??????????? 3 thousand?

Wow, 3 thousand detainees at a small police station. This is not even jail.

So the smart Malaysians, which I hope are a majority, would think;

1) We are not that stupid to buy that news
2) How can a guy and his inmates finish 3 kilos of Ketamine in one go?
3) Why wouldn't the locksmith guy just escape if he could get out?
4) Where is the CCTV evidence? Footage as hot as this should hit 10,000 hits on YouTube by now
5) We are seriously, not that stupid

But as the State police chief Senior Assistant Commissioner says - NO COMMENT

Youth, it’s the one thing older people want and it’s the one thing we should celebrate if we are still young. Being in the 20s and early 30s is something people take for granted. Haven’t they realized this is THE time to have THE time of their lives?

We don’t have wrinkles yet, and we sure as hell can have as much sex as we want and the last time I checked, libidos are perked up around this time and it’s the time to experiment.

Drugs? Our youthful body can handle it. Try that when you’re 40, you might crash.

Boys? Or Girls? We can still be bi-curious, this is the time to decide which sex we prefer. When you’re older, and let’s say married, you can’t suddenly decide you like boys all of a sudden. There are many cases like that. I only blame them for not having an open mind and finding out about their sexuality earlier.

Partying and getting wasted? You sure as hell wouldn’t want to do all those things when you’re older. It’s just gross. Do it when you’re young!

Which brings me to a point - I don’t get the late bloomers out there. Especially those married older (euw gross) people you meet partying as if they were 25 and ignorant to the fact they have a wife and kids at home.

Have the miracle prospects of cosmetic surgery (botox, face-lift) help these people achieve eternal youth? Or at least buy them 10 years off of their current age? It scares me to realize that these vampires who come out at night prying after more young blood are out there all over the place. Mid-age crises used to be the accepted excuse. But now many more husbands are cheating on their wives for a time they never had when they were young. Who is to be blamed when this is the reason?

Of course, my examples may seem biased. So yes, I shall say it, there are also women (older MILFs) who are out to get a piece of boy candy. And with their money and their patience for botox and hours at the salon, they can look so super fabulous that they are eating our part of the young meat market.

But I do admire the sexual fiends who are into very disturbed sexual desires. They do not do it for the sake of cheating, it’s just that they have such a great desire for something people don’t get (especially in their bedroom).

So if you decide to get married, act like you’re married. If you get older, do it gracefully (although I do recommend cosmetic surgery to give you confidence). Basically, before you commit of doing something, realize what you will miss and know that you can never go back there.

I read this article here about the 10 Most Worthless College Majors from www.holytaco.com, and I know why Badawi is so........challenged, in so many ways.

He has a Bachelor of Arts in Islamic Studies which makes him a person who has the number 1 most useless major, well, according to this article.

But don't you think so?


"1. Religion

Why It Won’t Help You Get a Job: Sorry God, but a major in Religion is about as worthless as St. Brice (The Patron Saint of Stomach Aches.) Even Duke University can’t put a solid sell on this degree: “A major in religion offers intellectual excitement and can be a pathway to a liberal education.” OK, you sold me. So now I get to shell out about a hundred thousand dollars so I can know what to wear to a Shinto ceremony and learn how many virgins Allah will give me if I blow myself up in an Israeli square? If it’s OK with you, I’ll keep my money and stick to my sinning-a-lot-now-and-repenting-on-my-deathbed plan.

What Job You’ll End Up With: This one is tricky. On one hand you’ll probably end up working behind the desk of a Christian Science Reading Room. But on the other, you may end up with everlasting peace and spiritual enlightenment. Let’s call it a draw." - www.holytaco.com

Hahahahah, Badawi ended up with the best job in Malaysia! Well, it isn't so worthless after all!

It's ridiculous, yes everyone is all mad and riots are brewing in every single Malaysian right now. During the election, the jack-ass current government party, or otherwise known as BN said that the price of gas will not be increased. I guess due to this promise, or just pure stupidity, some (idiots!) still voted for them and looky what we have know, fuel price increase.

Sure they can say, "You Malaysians are lucky, we are one of the regions which are enjoying the cheapest petrol". Hell yea we should since our currency is also the cheapest in the region, or the whole world. But now they think they can increase price of fuel, causing a domino effect of prices of food increase, this increase, that increase, INFLATION!?

Owh yea government, forget about the ridiculous toll prices and road tax that we already have to pay, will ya??

Somehow I have a feeling that BN is really going to lose next time, see you in the dumps, ASSHOLES!

I mean, the government doesn't have to be worried? They are practically wiping their asses with RM50 bills and smoking expensive Cuban cigars while being driven in their 3000 CC Mercedes Benz. They won't get effected. They don't have to buy nasi lemak in the morning to find out that it's gone up from 1 bucks to 1.20! (RM1.50 apparently in some other areas).

And what about how they lied and said the price increase was only going to happen in August. Suddenly, like the sneaky bastards they are, drop the bomb on us saying so conveniently that the prices will change at midnight, sending out a rush for every single middle-income Malaysian to fill in their tanks like it was end of the world. By 10.30PM last night, most of the gas stations were all DRIED UP. People had to line-up for almost an hour and suddenly the gas station's employees had to tell everyone to go home.

I was lucky I managed to fill mine up after work. I drive a 1.8, so petrol price increase is not good news for me. But c'mon, announcing it so late in the afternoon and turning people into a frenzy to fill up fast before 12 midnight?

The government can easily subsidize fuel. People, did you know that the government wastes a LOT of money (tsk tsk tsk........).........DUH!!!!!!!

I went to Putrajaya in broad daylight and they had all their fancy street lights on. Can you imagine that? The streetlights in my area are most of the time closed, even at night! The government will only spend for them, and their slaves, minions and whoever who wants to get a piece of corruption. Everywhere in KL people are suffering from roads with potholes, bad piping system, causing floods in your local neighborhood. But does Putrajaya suffer any of this? So now they want to take our gas subsidy and put it into their own pockets and use it to flourish themselves. Why is this happening? Does Badawi need a new jet? Putrajaya needs a 100 acre botanical garden for fellow government servants to enjoy?

My boyfriend had a good point, he said if the government wanted to make more profits, they should just let Petronas sell their fuel and NOT other companies from outside. Why let them a piece of the market when the government can make more money monopolizing the petrol market in Malaysia? Are they getting extra 'income' by letting in these foreign companies to sell their fuel? I'm sure they can profit more and subsidize the people's petrol. But no......of course you wonder why is UMNO so rich? With all the corruption and under the table dealing, you don't have to wonder why they have so much money. We produce our own fuel and it's ridiculous we have to suffer a lot. Look at Dubai, the prices of fuel go up, so does their mega-infrastructures. Why are we suffering? Seriously?

These are all bull-fucking-shit. Seriously, now everyone faces inflation, rise of prices in almost everything, our bare necessities, all are rising up and up and the government will just pretend to scream and shout and say "No you can't increase prices of food". The stupid government seems to forget that the people selling food must do business for a profit, how will they profit if their prices stay the same? They deserve to increase the prices, and yes, even though I was a bit down that the Makcik who sells me my daily nasi lemak had increased her prices to 20%, I know she needs to break even as well.

Then I started thinking, prices of retail is going to go up, flight prices(even if I hate to fly, I am still concern) and prices of logistics, shipping. How can I afford to buy things from the US now? I'm sure shipping prices will go up.

Electricity prices will also be increased. Don't even get me started on that.

So Malaysians, it is time for us to really tighten our belts, suffer, hope our companies will give us higher travel allowances and be in the dark, literally. With prices of electricity going up, I'll have to switch of this computer right after I'm done.

Dear Malaysian Censorship Board,

I went to the cinemas today, and saw the whole summer line-up with it's big posters and publicity everywhere. That seems to thrill me a bit, made me watch Speed Racer and that new Indiana Jones movie. I enjoyed Speed Racer very much. Thank you for allowing that acid-trip movie into our shores. I only wished I was on acid when I was watching it.

However I would like to complain that I did not see any poster of Sex and the City movie which had it's worldwide launch this month. Will it not be shown in our cinemas? I heard it would be showing only at the end of July. Are you going to censor the movie in 2 months and cut so many things that it wouldn't be Sex and the City without sex?

Sex and the City was shown in HBO, when I was in high school. I recall me and my mum watching it together until she eventually kicks me out of the TV room to bed. HBO managed to show the raunchy bits, do you have any problems showing those bits? Those are very important to the plot especially in a series where the plot frequently revolves around men's bad sex habits.

The contents should be the same (I don't know yet, I don't want any spoilers). It should be about a strong friendship bond between 4 single Manhattan women and their endless pursuit of happiness while showing a part of their sex life which adds comedy to the story. It is also about the beauty of New York and we poor Malaysian women who have never seen the big city can only watch and fantasize with the characters about living in such a magnificent world full of Jimmy Choos and Manolo Blahniks (yes I do know they are sold in KLCC but seriously, who has 100 boxes of these shoes?).

My friends and I can all relate to Carrie Bradshaw and her friends since we've all been broken-hearted, dated modelizers, gotten accidentaly knocked up, cheated on men, had sex like a man(the part where he is emotionally disconnected) and even exprienced being hung up on the same loser guy for years just like Carrie did. These stories are the things which thought us so much about relationships, friendship, men and sex (and high fashion!) which is a significant part of a woman's life.

When we were 7 we had our Barbie dolls, when we grew up, we had Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte to idolize. Without stories of Sex and the City we would still be the same door-mat girls who won't pursue a big career and aspire for something larger than life. We have learned to be stronger, value our friendship with our girlfriends and truth about men and how ugly things can get. Without it, we may not even survive and would be stuck with 2 kids at the age of 25 and living with in-laws (typical Malay culture).

I thank Sex and the City for it's fabulous-ness and making me fabulous overall.

Therefore for the sake of women and girls who are growing up in Malaysia, you need to show this movie here, fast, and without any cuts in order for the country to develop further.

Nadia aka Biggest SATC fan
