HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOZZZIE

Just a quick shout out to my dearest pal in Sheffield!


SELAMAT HARI JADI YANG KE 23 TAHUN!

Things are different when you're 23 Dauzie. A quick example, when entering a fancy hotel, the concierge would welcome you with a discriminatory tag-line.. "Please step onto the welcome mat that has the number 23 on it sir! "Things like that. never happened but yah.

Bye Dauzzie :))

p/s Those who wants to convey your birthday wishes, just write them at the 'comment' for Dauzie to read.

Tudung Planet

My dearest readers,

The time has arrived, the time to pose into genuflect position 24/7 till my eyes pop-out of its sockets. The time to space out all the unnecessary and hose in new reading materials to equip for my last battle. The time when nausea becomes common and tranquility becomes atypical. The time when dreams avert from a place called la la land with bunnies to a hall filled with hundreds of aligned chairs and tables.

Aii, sedih banar jua..

On the bright side, this is my last exam eva! yesh, yesh that's it. A closure that has no door knob. It will remain that way, till i decide to do anything about it. Oh, that reminds me, I was driving by at a school junction, and there were these tiny little kids in school uniforms, wearing tudung 'planet', all happy and 'zit-less'. I gave a sincere smile and said to myself

"tunguu ko, batah lagi perjalanan mu lai lai... karang baru ko bejerawat tu udah banyak ko pikirkan".

Then I drove away,

...and no silly, I didn't step on the accelerator driving over the little aliens

Oh I BET you ladies had undergone the same painful experience ya? being force to 'wear in' the tudong planet... I mean I could imagine mama nya becakap, " bah angkat tangan ke atas lai..kan masuk kan tudung planet mu..." ( I assume that is how you wear it in, right ladies? ) hahahaha

Patience honey

I hate waiting. I hate staring at the ceiling, waiting to be seated, waiting to be waited, waiting in queues, waiting for my test result, waiting the day to hit 00 01, waiting for someone to finish his sentence. My god just paddle up and finish your sentence. I simply hate waiting especially with the hot rising weather here. I bet one could not wait outside, without shedding a sweat. In my case, I will look like someone who just fell into a puddle. If i could remember every steps of my life, I am positive i begged my mom to push me out of her womb.


Not to say that I am unreasonably impatient, there are things that are worth waiting for..... I guess I could not think of any right now. I know you'll be thinking what triggered me to share my sudden outburst of frustration?

Ani bah,me suruh bibi si Fidah to goreng ayam. I left Uni 30 minutes ago, and she's still mengoreng..

Frust me...


Oh, Fidah just walked in smelling like Chicken! Yay, Chicken's done, looking crispy golden! I guess this is one reason to be patient ya, the thought of hot crispy and soft chicken thigh slipping down my throat.. HEAVEN

GTG! My chicken is waiting! Patience honey, a proper goodbye wouldn't hurt.


See you another day reader.. :) :) Bye bye ..


Whatever, I'm signing out, sajuk ayam ku!


Toodles,

Look out for PERVES!

After feeling obligated to informally warn you about 'pervetism', I decided to blog, instead of dozing-off right after driving back home from Fidah's place, not studying, but sleeping on her dining hall floor, stuffed after having 2 bungkus of nasi katok. Not bad, not bad, I usually have four. Not so proud of it, but ya, I am. This morning I had a reality check on how fat I've become. There are many ways ya to identify so called 'fatness factors'. In my case, tonnes emerged as indicators, but I chose to ignore any but this one *remain anonymous* which I FIGURED out this morning, need some chilling to do! So, I decided to cut down on food from today, from 4 to 2 nasi katok, from 4 packs of indomee, to 2 maybe.Oh well, let's see how long that will last, before I start craving for 4 instead of 2.

But I'm not the pervert!

Couple of days ago, after vigorous thrill on finishing up my essay, I decided to blog on it, on which it was posted as 'The End'. To spice things up, I posted it as Al-Khatimah. Unfortunately, being completely illiterate in Arabic language, which I may confuse Ba with BUTT, and Ta with TART. So, to save the embarrassment, I texted the expert.

Texting fidah - click click click click that says

- * Sayang ku... What's The End in Arabic? mwah *

Tutt Send Message.

Apparently, being so champion in texting has its disadvantage, I texted to a slightly wrong number. Couple of hours later I got a text in from that person, very disturbing reply, time was around 6 am, in which most 'healthy men' has something in common in the morning, I called it 'Morning Happiness', . I read it and it says:

Who is the name? :)
You man or woman? :)
You pastii lawa.... :) Oohh...

End text.


Pervert! As a man, I feel violated :S *I was in my pajamas* For a woman, she would feel visually raped, I think.. I don't know, you tell me. All joke asides! It was 6am and that's all he could think of? Does the wife even know? I bet its the morning happiness talking. Kapisan ni bini nya hahaha *wink*. I would have entertained if the text was put in a decent and romantic way hahaha *orgasmic laugh*

BA=Butt NAH!

The moral of the story is...men out there, next time let the big head do the talking, don't let the small head take charge, you might end up texting something that you regret a minute later.

A Special Dedication

I am absolutely positive that in a group of friends,

it has a mixture of singles and couplets. Both with opposing ideas, defending their status qou, noting one is more superior than the other. In my case, I had little opportunity to embrace my life as a single bloke who had too much to drink. Yesh, I am almost in a 7 years relationship, ever since i was 16 years old. The age when dating was difficult and driving was illegal.

Much little exposure have I experienced.

Nevertheless, never will I regret to forgo all those things,

when I know waiting for me is my

sweet cupcake, with her baju kebaya, sown in with

glittering beads.

I dedicate this post to my dearest love, you know who you are.

For 7 years, You have shone light at me with that sweet smile of yours.

You have looked into my eyes with those amazing eyes and sincerely accept me of who I am.

And never once you have looked at me and shown even an ounce of despair or disappointment.

You have been there by my side cracking jokes and together WE share a synchronize laugh.

You have 'unintroduce' me to silence with your laughter.

You have leaned your shoulders for me to lean.

You have given confirmation when our story needs a boost of support.

We have given both comfort, when one is thirsty for hearing those three little words

'I love you'.

However, Never have you cast a doubt saying those three words

You have hold my hands and say everything will be alright when things are off the chart

Never have you said to me my weight is a problem and ask me to lose weight.

You have given me many chances to rectify my mistakes and never thrown me out

in the cold without given me a shawl to stay warm.

You have a pure heart with my name engraved in gold all over it.

You have been there for me in sick and in good health.

You are a conservative yet you let an economist to

hold your hands to be seen by public

The most important thing is.......

You

have define love for me

and

never will I let go.

Al Khatimah (The End)

The only word that can describe my feeling now is RELIEF! REE- LIEFF! After two weeks struggling and straining my eyes reading tonnes of articles and books, and the books aren't accessible, it is like reading an old transcript from the 16th centuries! BUtt at last, my essay, it is done to the last dot! It might not be my best work yet, but i shall make an exception for this essay. At the end, what is more enlightening is the effort you have put into it. I guess that is all that matters.

Butt the agony does not stop today, it's revision time to battle the up coming exam in less than two weeks. Oh god, I will be munching more too. You see, 5 months ago people see me, I have this great body for which undoubtedly people have been wondering, eh Syami kah tu? he lose his baby fats! ( Although I am puzzled with the baby remark) I have passed that phase like ages ago, the only acceptable remark would be adult fats.

"Liposuction ni mesti ni mesti"

God, I have to say that I have gained a lot i tell you, for the past few months. Beyond your absolute imagination! So, hint hint jangan tekajut kalo terserempak dengan me ahh..Too embarrass to even go out and seen in public! My face and physique shall not be seen in daylight for NOW! I sneak out at night, to breathe some fresh air and feel some night breeze and dash in back inside. I am so fat one could come up with a silly and yet offensive joke,

"Did u eat your whole family?" No silly, I just ate half of them!

My mum kept on taunting me, Eh baik ko diet after this! You beat up the size of a TONG i.e tong cement. Okay, MOTHERRR ! I will ...geesshh . But ya i know she puts it with good intention. Ya, so treadmill and weight lifting right after exam! A serious make-over people!

Alright,

The power of assumptions

Yesh, i am on the verge of hanging myself trying to finish my last essay for my whole academic life! I was reading this book, it's called Economic methodology and funny how the author included a joke under the footnote. But the joke is really funny, and yesh it might only be seen as hysterical to the economist! cause i tried it on Fidah, it didn't work :S she went huh? So strap on your funny belt people!

The joke was widely disseminated in universities all over the world! awu Banar di UK, di US, d Thailand! and ani me mau disseminated di Brunei. Tani mana buleh ketinggalam joke cani cani kan. I feel the joke is useful in understanding the need of assumptions, disregarding the realism of it. You see, economist 'assume' a lot and it becomes a joke to other field of academics. When this joke popped up, i realise i can twist it to a point that it becomes highly relevant on how important it is to make assumption, to make a simplified end.

Here it is:

“An economist, an engineer, and a chemist were stranded bah sama sama di pulau pilung-pilungan. Sekali inda tia ada makanan, kecuali yang ada satu tin basar ayam Sabli . Tapi masalah nya...nada bah pembuka tin! Cana tah kan tu membuka. Sekali, after various unsuccessful exercises in applied science by the engineer and the chemist aimed at opening the tin, but sadly unable to do so. Lapar tia dorang ani, kriuk kriuk parut dorang. Kan di gigit tin atu, karang sumbing gigi pulang tah nada dentist antara dorang tiga ani hahaha *atu me ketawa tu*. Bepikir dorang kan, eh si economist ani inda lapar kah. So, dorang tulih arah si economist ani who all the while had been wearing a superior smile, looking smart and intensely thinking, ‘Eh jubur, kalo ko apa ko buat?? kami ani dari tadi udah mencuba pakai skill kami ani, ko alum tah menulung nulung. Cuba dehhhh’. *melandih nyamuuu~*

Sekali di jawab nya tia dengan tone yand sedap, ‘Me~~

?

Masa ani me meng- ASSUME tani ada can-opener’

hahahahaha cali cali~~

I thought it was really clever and funny! but i guess you don't ya?

Anywhooo,

Ani nah yang apa me dapat pelajari...

This is one joke that in a way help explain the importance of assumptions, whether it is realistic or unrealistic. It is however unrealistic to assume that there was a tin-opener, simply because there was not. However, the assumption itself provides many answers which can be answered only through the imaginative power.

My point being is that the economist made a contribution on a future oriented way. The notion that the economist made the assumption entails a great deal of prediction. What happens if we had a can-opener, it will be opened and shared. Rhetorical questions will arise, whether it would suffice for three? Would it be each ones favorite? Would one maximize utility by ‘killing’ the other two? Banar jua kan, all these can be written as what will happen and be prepared for the rainy and desperate days.

In a nutshell~ Assumption is important lah to compact the dynamic and to make possible of the impossible. It provides imaginative answers that yet to be tested but powerful enough to provide answer for economist. Therefore, assumptions are important for prediction and shaping a theory, which may not even have to be tested for realism

So, i hope my lecturer like the idea :S otherwise...Adui...

p/s My beloved course mates, please cite me if you wish to 'borrow' the idea, Thank you!

Sata 160GB please..GOO SPIRITT!!

Ohh my gawdd,

*Maluuu ME lagiii*

You could not believe what happened today!! The worst ordeal one could ever experience! Heart pounding! Armpit sweating! inexhaustable liquid drainage! Whatever pores you could imagine on your body secreting some sort of sweats!

At around 8 30am....

My computer crashed!!

The bad news is I never had a back up! The worst news is I have one unfinished essay stuck in it which needs to be submitted this Saturday, 3000 words to be exact of which i spent the whole subuh yesterday to proof read it... inda fruitful bah mun udah rusak computarrr..

BUTT (thanks Khai and Tajul) believe there is still hope! So i went to Besseller to get it fixed. I went to the service centre and i met Richard and pemalas usulnyaaaa...macam inda mau bah ia kan ngusai. He said he will get it check and call me up in an hour or so.

So, i went off to just wait for his call with the diagnosis! But before i left, I decided to get a hard-disk. Bear in mind, I am no tech savvy and I definitely do not know the name or anything about laptop internal components *NADA* trust me! You could say, if there was an award for it, ME manang kali.

So, I went to the retail, and then I approach a very nice saleslady, and the conversation started off with;

Me: Excuse me, do you sell hard-disk? *malu-malu cause takut salah sabut..Hard-dith, takut sumbing bah nyabut*

Saleslady: *duhhh* is what she should have said. But she's really nice (ia tau ME nampak talur usulnya), so she said

Of course, right here sir! Then she pointed to a section of the glass display...

*Okay, You see to be honest, the last time i saw a hard-disk was early last year, and it has a nice cover. So, the one she showed me on the glass display looked like an electrical conductor and it looked like it was inside out* So bangang berabis... i did not know what to say nor do. Completely speechless and horrid! :S

So i asked


Me: errrr...which one?

Saleslady: Well, this is an IDE 120GB, and this one is an IDE 100GB, and lastly, this one is a SATA 160GB.

Me: *dengan bimbo nya...* But they are all external hard-disk right?

Saleslady: Yes sir *she is probably thinking, si kalur jua anak ani*


Me: *Uwaa me malu*

So I said, I assume the SATA has the highest memory capacity? and obviously more expensive. And do you mind me asking why does it look like it is inside out? The last time i saw a hard-disk, it was pretty, colored and solid looking. This just looks wrong... Are you sure this is an external hard-disk?? * eep, dengan confident nya me mencritic product ani*

Saleslady: Oh Sir~ you must buy the casing separately* Then you fit it in...Then it will look like as what you have described :S toing toing toing

*uhhhhh sungguh malu...patut tah macam electrical conductor...rupanya alum be casing*


So, now i am back on track! Although my computer is selahau masih, but i got all my data back! All the sweating gone! Pores all closed up! Baik jua, i was a bit worried draining all these stuff out of me :S


Anyway, the moral of the story is:

1. Modern economist has revealed that he may not be tech savvy :S

2.Get an external hard-disk, get your work backed up.

I was the type of person who does not believe in such because i thought by carefully maintaining my laptop abstain from such trouble! But after this horrific ordeal, I am starting to back up my work starting now! ni awal ani..nampak kamu?

So, get a Hard-disk, get a SATA!

Piece out!

A world without moooney

Yesh, i bet everyone could have guessed it correctly! A world without money would simply resort to the old school of exchange that is barter trade. For the benefit of those who has never sat for economic courses, in a nutshell,

'Barter trade' means the exchange of goods not with the means of money, just simply direct exchange of goods. The value will be determined by preferences and wants. For example (cikgu ku ni ajar dulu...), 2 apples for 3 pears. So, the price of an apple would be 1.5 of pears. And the problem is finding 'double coincidence of wants'. Baik ku mau pears for apple, mana tau aku mau meja. So, it is difficult to have a double coincidence of wants. You get the picture how that system did not prevail right?.

My point being, have you actually give yourself a minute to think what would happen if we were still in that place?

I did,and i think this is what would happen.

Scenario 1

A world with money:

When you ask your parents for money. You would say mama~ papa~ minta usin and mun kana tanya bali apa, you would either tell the truth or lie. As convenient as that.

Imagine a world without money: The storyline would go a little bit different and shorter.

Mama~ Papa~ Minta sigup~ (NAH NYANGKU kana tampar)..

Scenario 2

A world with money:

If you go to a gas station to get your tank filled. You normally say

*hijau, $10 ahhhh..* bepaluh-paluh tu kalo aku, cos panas bah ia suruh off engine..

A world without money:

It would sound something like this..

*Hijau, errr... mau ko kueh bahulu? * hancur eh..banyak bahulu tu di station atu mun di terima nya..

Scenario 3

A world with money:

An English man walking down at a redlight district in Bangkok. Suddenly, he's craving for some 'meat' *merati merati saja ahh...*.

Then, masuk tia to one of the 'butcher' store *paham paham saja lagi ahh..*.

Yo, how much man? sepuluh $20 $40? laju eh..gitau ku..

See how convenient money is to our 'daily' economic transaction. Life is just so simple with money. You can put a price on somthing and go for it! In this case, MEAT!

Again, imagine the world without money:

The storyline would be..

Englishman: Excuse me butcher~

Butcher *Ia orang thailand kan ni* : Halo, Kapkun ya ya!

Englishman: Apakan si kalur ani.

Anyway, are you willing to accept a pack of cigarette for one piece of 'meat'?

So the the butcher might response 'yes' or 'no'. He might be interested for a pack of cigarettes (murah tu eh) or simply says no!

The problem arises when he says no! why?

Firstly, because the white man ani gitik2 udah kan makan meat. Inda ia sabar. So problem jua tu.

Secondly, now they have to sit and discuss and come to an agreement. Apa ia mau in return for meat ani. Batah jua tu kan..What if ia mau ikan, i mean literally ikan. Payah lagi kan ke pasar kan..Hilang moood yo...

So the moral of the story is....

You see money is the most convenient way to make transactions to occur. Although, some old time economist had figured that out, but i am sure the examples used were not convincing enough(until now) for us to appreciate how valuable and important money is to our contemporary world!

Dengan itu, value paper money okay and appreciate its existence

Cheers.

Let us tag along!

*Malu* Sungguh malu...

Don't you realise anything peculiar about my blog layout? Well, it is practically empty! There is no 'chatterbox', no music box, no hit counts, no tags. There is nothing! *NADA*.. BUTT you see that small little link on your left side? yah that! That was my pathetic attempt to tag someone. It does not look right, does it?

The malu part does not end there, the really malu part is when..i had to ask help from Lydss (a close friend and my former neighbor! :D). So the conversation lasted for a couple of minutes.

Me: Hi Lyds, kacau kajap ah...aku start blogging bah.. *Malu* and i need help :D

Lyds: Hi! awu, i have read your blog!

* See, if i had a hit counter, i probably could have guessed that!* * malu lagi*

Me: iatah kan lyds..cana kan men 'tag' orang ani. Lonely usul blog ku..

Lyds: hm...antah ah...I am not sure jua..You should ask the 'experts' like Apip and Kash (bf nya).

Me: LMAO hahahaha thanx lids!

Lyds: Sure, Keep blogging!

A tag line that i would never have thought to be used on me *eep..*

The moral of the conversation was,

Apip! get home soon! And get your tiny little tut on MSN and share your expertise! My blog is lonely! I read your blog, and it is filled with all these magical gadgets :S *aku envy* Again, have a last look on that small tiny link in attempt to tag people... *sungguh sedih dan memalukan* - tapuk muka dalam bisin...

EXAM FEVER

Tired sungguh tired!

MY SCHEDULE IS FULL. I have lots of stuffs to do and exam is just around the corner lurking *urk*. Unlike in UK, they have Easter break before the exam and it's more than enough time to get everything done. Here, we have a 'revision' week and that's it. Torture to the brain.

You would think you will learn your lessons after 7 semesters ya. I guess being in U.K for a year, and providing they have all the time in the world to study, kinda make me think of how easy it was back then :S Not easy, but manageable. BUT again there are pros and cons. Sana, i have to laundry apa, masak sendiri and at times there was literally nothing to eat. So, i let nature do the job, let them eat my existing fats. Yesh yesh feed on excess fat. Enjoy. That's the secret to my weight loss.

Back to laundry, I always like laundry day, cause it's close to Apip's place and i get to hang out. And sometimes kana bagi makan, and kadang-kadang kana suruh cium saja bau makanan. And i like the smell of clean clothes :S *which happens once a month, so the smell is quite rare* It Makes me want to pile them up and dive into it and comes out smelling like my pink fabric 'softener'. BUTT never happened.

*sigh* Time passes like flash! Final year is finally here and still struggling. The workload is okay, but after 7 semesters, 7 exams, and uncountable lectures, tutorials and presentations, you seem to lose interest in anything. You either what to get it over with and work or...err.. i guess there's no or to that! i just want to work and earn some money on my own! KAYA KU KAYA *bwahahahaha*

Ok that's it, nothing interesting. Just me in 5 30am waiting..just waiting..wayytin..

Don't be a Lohan! So Move!

(on the red-carpet........)

(Lohan jailed for DUI..after the red-carpet appearance)

Bida bida..

That is not where i am getting at. Saja kan meliat kan her 'bibi' face ya.

Here it comes.

Yes, I have never driven nor owned a Merce (Baby Merce, C-classe, E- class etc). Those who do must have their ego running into their veins. *annoyed*

Yeah Lohan owns a Mercedes convertible. Joyriding it around L.A under DUI. Funny, how desperate celebrities are for more public exposure, or fighting for a full front page cover on Cleo. My girlfriend just bought Cleo, so that is the only magazine that i could think of for now (banar kah inda jua) *SMILE*. Anyway, cheap public stunt becomes a habit for celebrities. But guess what's the habit of Merce drivers here?

As usual, I am always in a hurry for class especially morning classes. It takes at least half an hour to drive from my place to Uni *roll-eyes*. It will take a quarter tank just to reach there, per day. Well, that is beside the point!

Always and always do I come across Mercedes cars on the right LANE! Always always in Jerudong area! Should have snapped some photos! Anyway, move you people! There i was making faces in my car. There they are going around 60km/hr. Cubatah ah...mun kan beinggut inggut, ke kiri tah ah..


But nooo~ it appears to be that Mercedes car owns the 'legal' right to be on the right lane ANYTIME! Going 20km/hr, 30km/hr, 60km/hr, 70km/hr.. It is 'okay' to take the faster lane, because they are driving a Merce! I am not insinuating to all Merce drivers. Let's say caught on the fast lane on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday around 9 to 10am? You tell me.


Excuse my example, i mean no harm, but pointing the obvious. Imagine a low maintenance car (kereta India kan rate off lah ah..) - taking on the fast lane. How will people react? neutral? furious? Honestly, most will just take over to the left and may give a 'finger' or even show some hand gesture ' TO THE LEFT YOU'. and Why is that when it happens to be a Merce, either we just tailed them or wave nicely and take over. Sad very sad.

Bangang ku bangang *pengsan*


So Merce out there, we know you can gather speed by just stepping up lightly on the gas accelerator. But please please be considerate. We, average car owners, are sometimes in a hurry and need to catch a class, or even make money for a living *grin* :) Your leisure may not be ours to care.

Toodles.

p/s: Porsche Cayenne you are excused. Cause i like tailing your rear view *wink*

Inflation, tax shift or simply a mark-up?

My mom went grocery shopping yesterday. As usual she would get the things I need such as ice-cream, ice peach tea, and chicken essence. My usual necessities especially just weeks before exam. Ice-cream would keep me filled, ice peach tea keeps me away from thirst and chicken essence - the mechanism that keeps me awake and focus! Anyway, back to my crucial point, some big corporation (remain anonymous) has marked up the price almost 40% on the ice peach tea per carton!
My god! Inda tah ku minum lagi ni..

Are the relevant authority aware of this absurdity? My mom comes back tetchy realising the prices are mounting. *bising bah bising mama ku* (sian kan ia yang nguarkan usin, iatah ia 'fit' atu). Inflation? Tax shift? Or simply a mark up? Ironically, most big corporations are not being taxed except for Brunei Shell. The government should really step in and look into this matter. Companies should not undermine the consumers intelligence, we do know when there's inflation. As far as I know, Brunei is free from hyperinflation. The thirst for higher profit should be exterminated, unless strictly impose a corporation tax and we can call it even!

Awu eh, macam Hua ho atu bah, setau ku nada bah corporation tax! Laku, KAYA jua udah kan. Cuba deh redistribute kekayaan mu atu. Jangan tah arah aku, ke kerajaan saja.

So mothers out there, these (bukan saja Hua ho ahh..) companies are happy to scrap your money off your pocket. Then, be aware of your spending behavior. Drive around for the best price offered because we deserve our consumer surplus.


Cheers!

Cosmetic surgery?

This is 'Me telling the world'.

Yes, my deformity has been questioned for many years. I'll give you audience the benefit of the doubt simply because some are just ill informed. Some take for granted of their perfectly white teeth and pretend the world is under their smelly feet. Some people are polite at times and disregard my differences. Unfortunately, the world is not such a fortunate place to live in *mars is an option*. For me, another day is another adventure, yet to meet these people and explain my deformity. So here I am 'yelling to the world', exposing my deformity.

Yes, it is called 'General Decolorization' which may be inherent or just simply birth deformity. *Still yelling* - No, it is not caused from smoking, it is not what I ate* god can cheezles explain that?* Anyhow, there is no cure, yes I have tried brushing *aiseh defensive lagi bitchie..

I will be graduating soon and soon be embarking into the real working world, where I will be exposed to more 'conventional' and outspoken people. I feel it is about time to turn god's 'gift' into something natural and common. So, I am thinking veneer people!

Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or from resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. Resin veneers are thinner and require removal of less of the tooth surface before placement.

But what hits me, this god's gift may have mould me to become the person I am now.

And I like! Look out for brand new me! In gods will, and sufficient keching keching. It is done done.

Wouldn't this look good on me?

Cinderella found her pair!!!

Thank you Apip! For introducing me to the the the designer! My heart just melted! And I'm definitely saving up for future reference! *Usin usin, mari mari ko mari..*

I quote her " If u bought this sandals, Fidah will love u moreeee~~~!!" mengasut banarr

I guess it'll look gorgeous on a 'gangsa', doesn't it?

Anyway, as promised I would be more expressive in my interest in economics. So let's relate this pair of, I called Cinderella shoes, to economics! Mari tani mencoba mengunik cerita tani ani.

Have you ever thought of how sensitive your consumptions are to prices? asehhh

It appears that designer goods are considered as conspicuous consumptions or luxury goods, and appeared to be perfectly inelastic in price in eye of crazy shoppers (bini bini lah tu ah....). Inelastic in a sense that it's appearance is unique that consumptions becomes irreplaceable and (you and me and all bini bini!!) are willing to pay so much. Even though you either fork our from your saving or keep nagging to your dad to dash his credit card.

BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE IT! In this sense, your decision is simply independent of the price.


However, I do have a reservation to that classical school school of thought. I don't believe that such goods do exist. The written theory by the classical school on perfectly inelastic goods appear to be illogical. Let's say the price of the Zanotti happens to be 500% more than its original price. Will my consumption behavior be independent of price?

I guess, it depends on one's income. For the freaking wealthy people such as Fernandez (Air Asia CEO), if he had any interest on the shoes, would not be affected by price. Because of his insanely huge earned income. But in my case, a no no.

It's simply irrational.

So ladies!

Get your hands on those designer goods! You know you want it! Can't get a boy to buy for you, so start saving up!

Cheers!

'Me telling the world'

Hi all, it is such a cliche to start a blog by writing, ' I am just bored to death so might as well write a blog to fill the empty hours'. But again it is such an irony for me to start with that as well **eh malu me eh** *gasp*. However, this is how I'm going to start off.

Helo people,

It's 'Me telling the world' what captures my interest! And maybe at times what my plans are for the future.

Other than trivial story telling, I might set off to a podium to share my main interest. Yes people, it's economics :) My future lies on on the palm of economics! So, I plan to express some issues related to economics and is open for discussion for those with opposing views. Not to refute the ideas but to strengthen our argument. Maybe we Bruneians can help change the world, for a relatively small country, we are capable for many things. We start here, we start now, and we start small, but the impact 'masyaAllah'!!

Peace out.
