Are you ADWAVE devoter?

Have many of us are devoted to ADWAVE?

Having 29 people to run one project is tough for me. I was once told that "There is no point having 20 of us when there is only 10 of them who are running the show". This scenario is common and likely well known to a few of us.

Working and dealing with a big group of people needs hell lots of patience and acknowledgement.

By the end of the day, those who really committed themselves will feel the success of the event, and the rest will just smile and "yea, finally the project is over". These people are hoping to get a free ticket for show. They are just doing this for the sake of doing, you people know what I mean.

When we came out with theme of the year "Strike Passion, Passion Strike", how many of us really striked for passion?And did passion striked them back in return?

I don't know and don't care what others think, but at the moment in my life, ADWAVE had a great impact in my daily life. You won't be surprised if some of us have (Post Adwave Syndrome.)

Commitment is not measureby the quantity of work that you do, but the amount of time and energy that you are willing to sacrifice.

Looking forward, there are only 2 months for "us" to strike for passion.

Petty misunderstanding do happen, but I am glad that at this point we are able willing to put a smile on our face.

Singapore Trip Finale

I want to visit Bugis Street again.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
(Bugis Street main exit)

By the end of the trip, although I will need to stock up some instant noodles, but its worth every single penny.Another good excuse to get rid off some excessive kg's.

You see, I don't see the the mega sale in Malaysia as a big campaign anymore. Because even at the normal times, Singapore stuff are still much more cheaper and reasonable and fashionable. If I earn in s$, I think I could afford like 10 shoes from Bugis Street per month, which make up to 120 pair of shoes per year.Fucking cheap.

Of course don't expect the shoes to stand at the same level with Aldo or Nine West, but for the amount of money that you pay, you can afford to wear 2-3 different new pair of shoes per week.

My biggest obsession is heels.That is why, this blog was named after "peiyee-inmyshoes". It will sound so ridiculously weird if I put this, "peiyee-inmyheels". I went totally crazy when I saw the shoes. To get a red sole in Malaysia is like as difficult as getting a vibrator in Malaysia. But in Singapore, red shoes are everywhere, every single shoe shop. In Malaysia, its either the shoe quality is bad or the design SUCK big time.

(Shoe Shoes Shoes!)


What else?In Singapore, the normal shoes that we normally see in Sungei Wang, Vincci and Nose are sold at the range of s$16 to s$ 25. Damm cheap if you earn your pay cheque in Singapore Dollar.

Their accessories shop also abit OVER. Left me indecisive at last and walk off from the shop empty handed.

WaiLing recommended to me Chatuchak in Bangkok .It is 20 times bigger than Bugis.*wink*


If you really want to shop in Singapore but with not much budget, go BUGIS. I know, it's different compare to shopping in Orchard Road. But, I don't care much since I can't afford any Gucci or LV in Orchard.

Singapore on 2nd Day

Staying in Geylang is like committing sin, afraid that others will find out one day. We were told that Geylang was not a recommended places to stay but wtf, s$49 per night, what do we expect? Therefore, we usually leave our hotel before those legal prostitute wakes up and by the time we went back, the whole Lorong 16 is loaded with people like them. And you just have to name what types are u looking for in Geylang, and your request surely be granted.

I was horrified at the situation on my first night, but after advices for precaution, I was a little better on the second night.

On our second day, we went to Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Another university with its mega structure building which is fucking crazy big. I was told that Nanyang Technological University was named so due to its political struggle, therefore it was not named Nanyang University of Singapore. NTU was funded by every single cents donated by every Singaporeans from the rich to the trishaw man. And unfortunately, it was closed down by Lee Kuan Yew after it was suspected for propagating communism and was open back after democracy took over in Singapore( I think so!).

We head back to NUS again as we had appointment with their Communication and New Media lecturers to elaborate and explained more about ADWAVE. I didn't mean to brag about NUS, but I think they were being extremely supportive. On our second visit, they've displayed our brochures on their Communication and New Media office.

What makes Singapore and Malaysia different? Their Yakult yogurt drinks!!
It was package in the same design with Malaysia vitagen and I think its confusing enough to confused consumers like me!

Singapore is a "fine" city. The public tranportation, food, shopping, people and university were fine. And its penalty was fine neither.

(Crazy, riding also get FINE!!)


Sometimes, not everything about Singapore is fine. At least, it was less expected for me when the SBS bus was not fine!!

Once time of good thing is never enough, therefore we pestered Aaron to bring us to Orchard Road again.I went to Singapore Information Station to seek for more information about Singapore. Everything that you ever need to know was provided for F.O.C, no FINE!!

Although Singapore is not big but they have everything under one roof. Such as;

Pepper Lunch!
Its sizzling food with its pan heated up hot enough to burn your epidermis layer.

So Singaporean feeling.

We dropped off at the last station, Orchard station. Till then, will have to thanks Aaron for his kind favour and till he comes to Penang in March, I'll make sure that he will receive the same hospitality that he provided.

Singapore Day 1

Any trip is AWESOME! I was on ADWAVE trip to Singapore last week and I was not longing to come back Malaysia knowing that there is so much to do and follow up.True enough, even before I reached Malaysia kastam, when Maxis was able to resume its business, I have to resumed my work.


Me and another colleague of mine Cheau Ming departed from Penang bus stop at 9.30pm. I was thinking that 10 hours journey is enough to kill me and buried me 6 feet under the group. Any human being are awared that 10 hours of bus journey is fucking crazy and its enough to fly me to Europe either. Before the journey, I warned myself to sleep less on the night before so that I could shut myself down all the way to Singapore.

I wouldn't say that the 10 hours journey was bad and torturing because I was entertained with facilities provided in the bus. I did snoozed off for a couple of hours and then try to peep at my colleague and other passengers and then continued to shut down. And occasionally I'm on standby mode.

I admit that I like Singapore for a few reasons;
1) The shopping was a turn on. Recommended: Bugis Street
2) Surrounded by fantastic fashionista.
3) Pubic, I mean the public transport there really deserved its recognition as one of the first class infrastructure in Asia and its everywhere.
4) Met a few Singaporeans, they are not as bad what as what the media and people portrayed them as KIASU.


Day 1

We arrived Singapore at 7 am and it is not normal for two Asian size girls to carry their luggage's which weigh two times of their weight.

And soon, we checked-in to one of the most famous chain hotel in Singapore, Hotel 81 located at Lorong 16, Geylang. Ya ya, every Singaporean I met will give me that kinda "Are you one of them?","Didn't you look for other hotels around"," Woh, its a red light area". Even the stupid fucking taxi driver assumed that we are the new girls there.WTF, I don't see myself dressed and behaved like them, I had my body cover decently with ADWAVE shirt, three-quarter Levi's jeans and Nike shoes. I bet those prostitute there doesn't even know about the existence of Levi's and Nike. Must be the taxi driver was blinded with stereotype and perception without much research.

You see, we went there in a budgeted amount. If let's say we stayed in an expensive hotel, how could we afford to accommodate our food and transportation? The whole thing is that I plan to check-in to a cheap hotel and then we allocate the rest of the budget amount into our food and transportation. In addition, we only need a place to load our luggage's and sleep. We went out almost as early as the sun rise and came back later than the sun set, why should we check-in to a cosy hotel?Basically it is not the hotel that was bad, it is the area. So, just fuck the area and instructed the taxi driver to dropped us at the hotel lobby, as long as we don't walked along the dark road.

Apparently, I was paranoid by those untrue kinda stereotypical point of view. Therefore I tried to start basis conversation with all the Mr Taxi and slowly I diverted their untrue perception into certain expectation that we both are truly Malaysian students.

I've got to hear that the MRT facilities are much convenient but I soon realized that not all the places could be reached out by both bus and MRT. That is why, Taxi's play an important part in the life of every Singaporeans.

We departed from Geylang and we head straight to National University of Singapore. Think that USM is big?Think twice. This is my first time of coming across a university with McD and Subway outlet. And I wonder, when will Mrs MarryBrown will soon kick off by Mr McD in USM.

Besides that, now i see the point that why Singaporean girls are skinny. They walk.They walked around the university like how they walk around the mall and they travel everywhere by foot. And now I know why they have tan skin and latter they revolutionize their tan into fashion.I will soon learn from them by ditching my baby Kelisa in the apartment car park and walk to uni.(Haha..my next life)

Talk about kiasu Singaporeans, I can't assume that all of them are like that although Singaporeans are very pushy in the MRT station because I've met a few of them who is much more helpful and truthful than any other of the Penangites I've met. Such as;

TADAH!!!

This guy is one of the most incredible Singaporean guy that I've ever met( Ya, I am exaggerating because I don't really have any Singaporean friends). Thus, he is one of the most patience and loyal guy. If you were to ask me whether why I changed my perception about Singaporeans, I would say that this guy here deserved his credit and he favoured me alot, countless.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Talk about shopping with him, he claimed that he had enough of exposure and training. And therefore he implemented his shopping knowledge onto us.Haha..from Orchard Road to Bugis Street. I am not sure whether if he is a temperamental person( as what he claimed), but personally as a few days friend, I've got nothing more to ask for. Too bad, this guy is TAKEN and getting marry this year. *Salute & Congrats*

Every person who went to Singapore must had tried Mr MOS burger, just like how we Malaysia Chinese will go for porkburger in China McD. MOS burger outlets grew everywhere and they are growing and growing but the Mr MOS burgers in Malaysia were killed by Mr McD a few years ago. Bring BACK Mr MOS to the Malaysia court!!!

Bad Advertisement!

How many of you actually noticed this poor advertisement??

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting


Tell me if I am wrong but I would like to point out that this is such an embarrassment to the Malaysia media industry.

The 3 big names are not matched accordingly to the right person, just like Jay Chou is placed on Gong Li's face. Its either it was done on purpose for whatsoever reason (I don't know!!!) or accidentally but I would say that this is so WRONG!!

You see, the fact is we know how Jay Chou, Chow Yun Fat and Gong Li look like. But no the entire population on the globe knew and recognized them.

Let's say, after watching the movie, if Jay Chou acting is good (I don't know, Yet to watch) then they will compliment Jay Chou by using Chow Yun Fat's name.WTF!!!

Or else, people who are aware of the mistake will make assumptions that its promotional material is bad that its movie is not gonna turn out any BETTER!!

The worst thing is that they parade this advertisement on the high traffic places, where thousand and millions of them will see it everyday.

Bad, this is so bad..

I look for man who knows how to speak good English.Don't give me that kinda wtf look. Ask the 21st century girls these days,"Is English important for a person"?. I can bet with you that a big number of them will nod their head. Just like how technology changes and religious changes, the mindset has to change too. The typical mindset that says "We shall not judge someone based on their outer side" is nonsense.Yes,I admit that inner beauty is important but the full stop shouldn't stopped there.Extra things that we do,there are always bonuses for it. How often you see short and fat model in fashion show?I shall say Never!

Let's say, if you see a guy who has a caring personality, but when you asked him "Hey can you speak English?" and he replied "Yes I is".Man, this is so potong steam I tell you.You see, don't ever assumed that language is not the factor,when actually it does.

I look for man who is outstanding and active.I am not looking for a national sportsman or national debater but I rather look for man who is able to speak out and voice out his opinions when needed.

You know how pissed off it is when man just kept quiet during meeting and when asked whether shall there be any questions, they just shake their head but ended up referring to others for uncertainties information. Man, this is so unacceptable. Did you just hear the question? It gives me an assumptions that you man forgotten to bring ur balls along. Therefore, if you happen to left it at home, please collect it back.

I look for man who knows how to plan things out.But in financial wise, man are never good planner as they tend to waste it on unnecessary items such as car, gadgets and donating certain amount of money everyday to British America Tobacco. They know how to plan for next holiday gateway or their children upbringing.

I look for man who is above or at least in the same par level with me. I don't see myself with a man who rarely open their golden mouth. Be a chatterbox only when he needs to do so. Or at least, man who knows how to enjoy life.
