			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, G asked me to accompany her to pick up some <a href="http://www.acnetreatmentguide.org/">acne medication</a> from a dermatologist she&#8217;d been seeing for her skin problem. I must say that ever since going to the derm, her skin has been looking pretty good &#8211; no longer red and inflammed unlike when she went for her facial at some crappy salon that offers free trial services and with whom she spent a LOT of money.
<p>The only problem is that this derm involves us queueing outside his office for an appointment at 7am! He opens at 9am. The queue was a mile long when we got there and she only got to see him at 3pm. </p><p style="float: none;"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<p>Making money hand over fist I tell you!!!! I&#8217;d have complained but G bought me lunch and we had a spot of shopping so it wasn&#8217;t that bad. But still! If i have a kid, he&#8217;s going to be a dermatologist!</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve only seen him twice &#8211; the day I joined where he just nodded at us newbies from his throne in his huge scary cold office and the day H retired when we threw a retirement party. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to review my notes now. I can&#8217;t botch up tomorrow!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SIL is a nutter. She went out with bro to a <a href="http://www.lightingshowplace.com/search/outdoor-lighting">outdoor lighting sale</a> and picked up some solar lights for the garden together with some teak furniture. Apparently she wants to sit in the garden in the evenings or on weekends to enjoy her tea.</p>
<p>Well I hate to burst her bubble but we actually tried that a long time ago. We stopped because it was either too hot or too full of mosquitoes to be comfortable. Still, it does make the garden look pretty so I&#8217;m not going to say anything just yet <img src='http://privatethots.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

The latest involves the <a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/4/20/nation/20090420140456&#038;sec=nation">Pahang MB</a>.

<p>I don&#8217;t get it sometimes. Do these people think they are invincible? Do they think they&#8217;d never get caught? Do they think they can always dance out of reach of the long arm of the law?</p>
<p>I seriously wonder.</p>

<p>Anyway I&#8217;m approaching that time of the month and I&#8217;m feeling fat and bloated. I already wear a size 14 so that makes me fat right? Recently someone forwarded me a <a href="http://www.dietpill.net/phenphedrine.php">phenphedrine review</a> which I felt in bad taste. Yes  I know I&#8217;m not svelte and willowy like all the other girls in the department but that doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m desperate&#8230; yet!</p>
<p>SIL told me to join her on her treadmill. But that would mean me reminding myself of a hamster. Hamster vs thin &#8211; what would I rather be?! <img src='http://privatethots.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While another colleague was telling us about his new apartment, the previous colleague who had just returned from Hong Kong told us about the high property prices there. We aren&#8217;t even talking about <a href="http://www.cityfeet.com/">commercial real estate</a> here, just apartments of about 500 sq ft. Over here, that&#8217;s the size of some hotel rooms!</p>
<p>Anyway he told us that a 500 sq ft apartment in Hong Kong can go up to 12 million. That&#8217;s about RM6 million!! Crazy! We aren&#8217;t even talking about super high end yet.</p>
<p>Its no wonder people there throng the streets every night shopping. I would too if I had to return to a pigeon hole every night</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been toying with the idea of buying a branded bag for a while now. Sure, I own nice bags and they don&#8217;t come cheap. But for once, I&#8217;d like to walk into a nice swanky store, sniff in the smell of leather like those they use to make <a href="http://www.theequestriancorner.com/">english saddles</a> and plonk down the cash for a bag that costs 4 digits. </p>
<p>I can but dream. </p>
<p>I was thinking of getting a <a href="http://www.coach.com">Coach</a> bag. I saw some nice ones in the store and they do go on sale from time to time. But what I want is something leather and not full of logos. What I really want is an epi leather speedy from louis vuitton.</p>
<p>I read somewhere that LV was over priced. I don&#8217;t know whether it is over priced or not, but I do know that no one says no to an LV. I mean, if someone gifted you with one, would you say, no please take it back its overpriced?</p>
<p>Sigh&#8230; when will someone gift me with an lv anyway? <img src='http://privatethots.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tis the season for feasting and stuffing ourselves to bursting! Now we&#8217;ll know how a turkey feels like haha&#8230;.</p>
<p>Then, before we know it, it&#8217;ll be Chinese New Year with even more feasting and stuffing of faces. At the rate I&#8217;m going, <a href="http://www.sybervision.com/reviews/Review-Fentraphen.php">Fentraphen</a> is going to be necessary for me to fit into any new clothes I&#8217;ll be getting <img src='http://privatethots.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>Still, I&#8217;ll be going down to Singapore for Xmas &#8211; visiting some cousins who are back from the USA. I asked them for a Coach bag this Christmas. I&#8217;ve never owned any branded bag before and I&#8217;ve heard that Coach is cheap in the USA especially at their discount outlets so I hope they pick me up one.</p>
<p>Falalala!</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been feeling quite out of sorts recently and I don&#8217;t even know why.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sad and I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m depressed. I just feel like digging myself into a little hole and lying in there away from the rest of the world for a while.</p>
<p>Contrary to what many people think, I&#8217;m not afraid of being alone. It sometimes gets a little lonely, but sometimes I just think its easier to have to deal with only myself rather than having to deal with a whole truckload of other people too.</p>
<p>Is this depression? I don&#8217;t know. For now, I&#8217;m just tired. I just want to sleep and get away from the world.</p>
<p>For a little while&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across a blog post today on another blog that said how pissed the writer was at copycats. That post struck a note in me. Looking back quickly at my archive, I saw that I&#8217;d written a post that was nearly word for word what she said! (I assume its a she because she said Women are worse copycats &#8211; like as if men are not *rolls eyes*) Here is my <a href="http://privatethots.com/2008/09/how-to-deal-with-copycats/">post on copycats</a>. I&#8217;m not even going to dignify hers with a link because &#8230; *drum roll* &#8230; its a copycat post!</p>
<p>*cue laughter*</p>
<p>I wrote mine last week. Hers is published today. So, go figure who is copying who.</p>
<p>Still, I don&#8217;t assume she&#8217;s read this post of mine. One can&#8217;t assume anything because these days, the world is a much smaller place. Information travels at the speed of light and there is bound to be overlap. No one is copying no one. Its just same bits of information leaking out to the same group of people who then decide to write about it. These days, when I see a similar post to anything I&#8217;ve written that&#8217;s what I take it as &#8211; same information.</p>
<p>So, don&#8217;t flatter yourself thinking anyone&#8217;s copying you. You are equally guilty of it just by setting up a blog because didn&#8217;t you also &#8220;copy&#8221; someone else&#8217;s idea for that? Or how about your blog title? Or blog theme? Its a form of copying. How about your information? Isn&#8217;t that copying too? No need to get high handed about it. In the age of information technology, it is only to be expected, unless you have breaking news but then, it&#8217;ll just as quickly be copied by another!</p>
<p>But I draw the line at wholesale copying like how some splogs do it. That is copyright infringement. Sharing the same idea isn&#8217;t.</p>
