Horrible Boss

wowwwww....my last post was in December 2012...my blog is dusty babe!! now I got to learn how to go about writing my blog again..sighhhhhh...where have I been hiding...haha

ok ok...I will try my best to update my blog..(which have been longgggg forgotten...to start with, let me write about this movie... Horrible Boss.

Many of us complained about our bosses.  How horrible and difficult they are.  Our life is so miserable just because we try to accommodate to their needs.  To release our anger and frustration toward our bosses, we often create numerous nick names for them..well, I mean what else can we possibly do?  We are not going to tell them 'hey you..you have made my life a fucking hell'...no, right? The most extreme action we might do isssss...slam the door, kick the trash bin and whine like a dog... 'I hate you scumbag'...'this is for you smug face'....dangggggg off the trash bin fly to the sky..sound familiar?? Or you knock-knock your Facebook's wall and post a status. owh nooooo..don't do this, this is not professional at all.  If you do, you are literally making a huge mistake.  Your boss will eventually find out about it even if they do not have a Facebook account.  Don't underestimate them ya..and remember....sometimes technology fails and you will blow the hell out of your career.

So, fellas..then? I suggest you watch this movie.  I had a great time watching it while on board a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur few days ago.  This movie made me laughed out loud (i was lucky to be seated in Business class and there is a gap between me & other passengers).  The movie is about three men, Nick, Kurt and Dale who cant stand their bosses and fantasize to eliminated them from the face of earth.  Their fantasies become a reality when they hired a 'murder consultant' whose first name is 'Mother Fucker'..hahaha..imagine someone's first name is Mother Fucker.  Yes, it was hilariously funny film.   The movie actually reminded me of my own ex-boss.  We hate him so much we even called ourselves 'we hate somet'....no no..we didn't fantasize to murder him..hahaha.....enjoy the movie :)

The Shopping Epidemics & the Science of BUYology

I am a lecturer.  My field is Business & Marketing.  So, when people talk about marketing tactics and strategies used by marketers to capture the desire of the customers..I 'should' know all those because that is what I been telling my students....those are merely tactics to induce sales..I used the word 'should' here because, since I knew it then i should have not fall into the trap...I learn all the theories but paradoxically I often found myself go home with armfull of shopping merchanidises that I labelled as 'must have', 'no harm buying', 'good price'..or..'the price is as much as my one time visit to the salon'...there you go..I'm making a comparison..when i start to make my comparison analysis, it means...DANGER

I'm always poorer by hundreds of ringgit everytime i step my foot out of the house..and now its even worst..i dont have to step out of the house, staying in bed with my ipad is good enough to empty my pocket..its not my fault..blame it to the technology :)  My husband teased me 'if there is a shopping olympic..you will be the athelete" ! nahhh...amekawww

I'm just...just vulnerable and fragile human being whose heart is full of love..love for shopping..heehhh...but its true though, research in brain scanning technology explains that we responded to marketing/shopping activities the way we do because we are driven by our fundamental human urges of survival procreation (Reader Digest, Dec 2011).

Wokey let me share with you some of the interesting points i found in Reader Digest, December issue..its all about what inspire us to empty our wallets and spend money..

According to this article, shopping can be an almost 'religious' experience..it has been described as the new religion and the malls its cathedrals..wuhuhuhu...interesting new terms

Martin Lindstom a marketing guru in his book 'Buyology' discussed his study about our brain cells - Mirror Neurons, that works in tandem with dopamine - one of the brain's pleasure chemicals which is also associated with food and sex...so, when we shop, the pleasure is the same as when WE ARE HAVING SEX....oooppss.  The reason is because in shopping our brain will flushes with pleasure and before we realise it, we have emptied our wallet or swapped our credit card.  When we left the store minutes later and the feeling fades we will suddently asked ourself  'what on earth have i done"!!

Women are generally love love love shopping...agree? yessss...We utilised our 5 even 6 senses when we shop.  We touch, we taste, we smell, we carefully look & check, we hear and sometimes we even dream (that is what i meant by 6 sense).  Research found that 86% women read price tags before we buy compared to 72% men..see...we are still a very carefull shopper..but I belong to that 72% catagory because I dont really read the price..I like it, I buy! 

Anyway, words of wisdom my friends.."shop with brain"..that is my husband's word of wisdom lah..haha..(1) make sure you have kept some portion of your money for saving (2) beli ikut kemampuan..jangan ikut orang...My husband always tell me to keep all the receipts (like he does) but I dont get the idea..what for? I cant get my money back..and I don't want to be reminded of what the economists call ' the pain of paying'.

One of the similarities that i share with my husband is shopping..most men dont like shopping but my man, ok ok la..I always promise him 'this one i'l pay myself'..swapppppp...when the American Express bill arrived at the end of the month i just..'forget forget remember' or...or..i pay..but pay half only..haha.  

When i write this post, I was on board to Jakarta..I almost shopped at the departure hall..u know, the international departure hall is quite a good place to shop..my husband patted my shoulder and said " we have'nt arrive yet..bawa bawa la bersabar"..

The best time to ask for things from him is when I'm sick or I make myself look sick...see the pix below..few of the medicine I got because I fell sick during my trip...there my friends...that is actually the science behind the word BUYology..hehe

The Secret of Rainbow Goddess

The story maybe unreal, too dramatic to visualize or perhaps contain meaningless details..full of lust and seduction..but allowing myself to flow with rainbow's journey created an alluring chemistry that make me dance around my feelings.

First read in 2008 and keep reading it countlessly..

Collectively, this is my favorite novel which drama I kept dearly next to my emotion...
