No matter how good you are…you cannot beat a woman when it comes to shopping. I learn that lesson last weekend when my company conducted 1 hour sale for staff only at Sonystyle The Curve.

The sale started at 9.30 until 10.30am and everything was sold at very cheap price with discount range from 50% ~ 98%.

Diyana wanted the 40” Bravia LCD TV, so she woke up early that Saturday morning. She said we must arrive at The Curve as early as 8am because people would be queuing and there would be a massive rush at the outlet. She was worrying if we would miss the LCD TV because only Sony staff can enter the outlet and she’s not. So, she kept on giving me tips on how to be successful in SALE!.

To be honest I didn’t believe that it was going to be that difficult in getting the stuff I wanted in a SALE and I didnt believe that people would be queuing outside the outlet too, so I ignored all her tips so when we arrived at 9.15am - more than a hundred people had already started queuing in front of me! I could see Diyana was glaring at me with her angry face….

Finally I managed to get a Home Theater System, a marine pack for my camera and also a Cybershot leather carrying case. The actual cost for all those 3 stuffs was RM 3,578 but it cost me only RM 1, 060! The highest discount is 98% for the marine pack. Cool!

That was good enough for me but not for Diyana. She still believed that if I had followed her advice, like arriving very early; grab first all the goodies and think later etc….I could have gotten the Bravia LCD TV as well. Emmm..… maybe she was right on that. After all I cant deny that shopping is one of her useless talents.

I may be bad but my colleague was more of a complete failure after ignoring an important skill that was born naturally inside the mind of all women. He came from Seremban and arrive The Curve at 9am. Since he felt that it’s still early, he hang out and read newspapers in his car until 9.30am so he ended up empty handed!! haha!

So now that we have a new home theater system, I would like to let go my 1 year old i-totalTHEATRE, ITT100. If you are interested, you can contact us and give us your best offer. The price of new set is RM 1,299. All the sub-woofer, 4 satellite speakers, 1 center speaker and tuner FM/AM band still working perfectly well.

All these while I have been using cheque as the payment type of my Google Adsense kachingggg!! You see, every now and then I would receive a cheque all the way from the Big Apple and I usually cash it to my CIMB account.

It usually takes about a month before the money is being transferred to my account and then I would just keep quiet if Azman knows he would wanna use it in a good way like SAVING FOR RAINY DAYS but the problem is he doesn’t know that THE BEST WAY of using money is spending so that’s why I just buat bodoh and go shopping behind his back.

Eh, the sentence above is very long and doesn’t have any pull stop yes? Hebat.

Anyway the problem here is, an international cheque will be sent from the CIMB branch that I send it to; to the branch where I open my account which is the one in Bayan Baru, Penang, you know the one next to Sunshine there I think I’d better stop this sentence is getting longer too.

The sending process takes about a million years, I don’t know what mode of transportation CIMB use maybe L’escargot the Snail works as their dispatch; which resulting to one of my previous cheques to burn out as it has passed it expiry date. Well it wasn’t entirely L’escargot’s fault,you see I forgot that I “kept” the cheque under a pile of dirty laundry until a few weeks before expiry. Hehe! Anyway it was such a waste! Itulah padahnya bershopping tanpa kebenaran suami. Sekian terima kasih.

So finally I change the payment type to Western Union recently and guess what, I received my hard-earn-by-you-clicking-at-my-ads money (thanks guys! Muah!) right there and then!! Wee!

All I needed to do was to fill in the Western Union form at any of its agent and all it took was 15 minutes! What a quickie! I was extra lucky that the BSN branch on the ground floor of my office is a Western Union agent, and you know BSN don’t usually get crowded at all.

So, to sum the whole story up – Western Union rocks!

ps- Here is the picture of our precious Luth Mikael when he was just three months old. He’s gonna turn big old six months soon… and more a reason for me to rush home from work everyday…

Dear Miki,

You are already five and a half months old today. Its amazing watching you grow like a weed and looking more and more like me, the big eyes, the dongga head, the button nose. You inherit so many of my physical traits, I am feeling dejavu sometimes when looking at you, its like looking at myself when I was a baby. Except my skin was color mocha and I am living la vida loca and you are fairer, even fairer than your father.

Miki,

You love to be carried in your super comfy Maclaren baby carrier, which we have started to use since you were 3 months old. Your Daddy would be carrying you facing outwards and you would get so excited seeing the clear view of the world right in front you. You will flap your arms and legs so fast it looked like you are running. And when you do that in public, people would get so smitten at you and they will stare until your Daddy would be red with embarrassment of all the attention.

Miki,

A few weeks ago your Daddy and I realized something else too. You think you are so funny! As you are strapped there on your Daddy’s chest, you would be laughing so hard as you look at yourself in the mirror.

Every giggle that escaped your tiny lips melts my heart, little baby! I want you to know that your Daddy and I adore you to bits! And you are THIS close to become our EPF nominee, if only you would STOP DRIVING US NUTS AND START SLEEPING AT NIGHT!!!!! Will ya do that? Will ya? Will ya?

Lots of love,

Your Mummy.
