The economy has been so scarily tough yet I was working like a crazy cow for the past week. I often went home after midnight but I managed to squeeze in some exercises in between plus cutting down binge eating. That should hopefully lead me to good shape. I have many horror stories yet to blog but I don't wanna scare the many faint hearted readers tonight.
Maybe I should share some tips to enhance your popularity and love life which I heard from Feng Shui masters. Along the way, I realized many 5-Star hotels heeded this advice too, by using fresh floral arrangements at their lobby.
Fresh floral arrangement at the lobby of Oriental Hotel Bangkok which often clinched awards for being the World's Best HotelI am sure you have seen many big hotels displayed these big floral arrangement on round tables at the entrance. The flowers are pretty and are believed to emit some frequency to enhance its popularity. I have been displaying miniature fresh flowers every week by my bedside and I think I am always in love or being loved.
Until I spoke to blogger Anton who enlightened me that the ancient Indian Feng Shui also practiced this way plus adding limau parut and sireh leaves, I decided to try. So I thought no harm-lah and bought them at the market this morning. I hope my dreams would be sweeter and good since they believe the limau parut would neutralize the negative frequency on me while I am asleep. Will I get popular with money and friends pouring in from now onwards?

We came from a bunch of extremist students of a Christian Brothers school which blogger Joshua loathes so much, much to my curiosity.
My mind drifted further after reading Yahoo news about the world's friendliest countries being Canada, Germany and Australia judging from expatriates' polls. Sadly China, India and UAE are bottoms for cultural reasons that make them look unfriendly.

*Clap Clap*... agreed agreed the most friendliest country CANADA... :)
ReplyDeleteI also wanna to put up one vase with flower, limau parut and sireh leaves besides my bed... :p
Wah hebat. That was a quite a list!
ReplyDeleteI know a few places as well: like best Thai food, best Hainanese chicken rice, best ikan bakar, etc. etc. which I can so write down - but I am so anal about it I even have to write directions down. See how lah, maybe I'll be hardworking and then I'll list it up as a blog post next. :P
wat a very informative list u have here~ ;)
ReplyDeleteYou got a very interesting blog in here Twilight Zone. I am so glad to be here. :)
ReplyDeleteYou mean by putting fresh flowers by your bedside will make you in love and being loved by many people? Must it be fresh flowers? Must it be placed next to the bed? Can it be anywhere in the room? Is there any particular flowers to get or to avoid?
ReplyDeleteTZ - When I posted this, I knew you gonna be over the moon. My friend in Vancouver said the same thing & asked me to migrate to Canada. I was once deported from Canada for illegally entering tru wrong lanes at Niagara Falls without passport. The authorities interrogated me & Korean friends for hours before signing deportation papers as criminals. Kaneeneh leh!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day TZ!
Sam - I have made KL my home since 1993 but I still dunno many food havens. So pls blog about it okay. Thanks dude! Have a nice day Sam!
GaGa West - What an exotic & erotic name you have. LOL. Please drop by again. Have a nice day GaGa!
Hi Grace - Please drop by again. Have a nice day Grace!
Calvin - I was told can place anywhere in the room but I am kiasu & wanna be closer to it. In fact I wanna hold the vase to sleep, if possible. Any nice flowers will do. The Indian gurus advised sweet smelling flowers like Jasmine but I put the pink rose. I swear the flowers worked but with limau parut and sireh leaves added, I should stand for next elections. Have a nice day Calvin!
The best Wantan mee, to me, is still the stall beside the Seremban Highway going towards Salak South one...only open at night...
ReplyDeleteEspecially their Char-Xiu, super yummy, I can finish one whole plate (= RM10) by myself... muahahaha......
Haha...my student told me Wantan mee is the heaviest mee, cause "one tonne" mee... kakakakka
The best wanton mee for me is the small store next to Maybank, Klang, you need to wait at lease 30 minutes and the portion is damn small, so normally I will order two plates and still can ta pao back for supper!
ReplyDeleteOf course the best bah-kut teh also in Klang, with so many difference variety, I can have bah kut teh everyday and not feel boring, gosh..
worst bank not BSN meh
ReplyDeleteso happy to be living in the best metrosexual zone *drool
LOL
Thanks for sharing. I shall start putting fresh flowers by my bedside. Limau parut? Can use to make limau juice after few days? Hehe.
ReplyDeleteBest wantan mee: The one beside Jln Sg Besi? Just a guess la since I never ate there. Hehe.
Best Nasi Kandar: No idea.
Best BKT: My coll said the 1 at Sg Way is nice. I've yet tried it. :)
OMG!! i am in your superlatives list!! pai seh lah, i am not qualified at all for that leh, hahaha!!
ReplyDeleteAiyuuuu I'd better watch whatever I say in future, otherwise you'll regurgitate all my gossips Ish! :P
ReplyDelete+Ant+
Dude... you should do some drama.... tell them if they sign the deport paper ... u will jump from the bridge into the falls and mark a dot in Canada history... the one that jump into the falls due to being force by the immigration department ... maybe they will just let you go ... kakaka ;p
ReplyDeleteI agree that Canada and Australia are the friendlist countries (can't say about Germany though, coz I don't have any German friends to testify to that... hehehe).
ReplyDeleteApart from being friendly, Canadians and Australians are really the coolest ppl to hang out with (well, at least the all the ones that I do know).
i really looking forward yr horror story...i m a fan of that hk movie "ęē·ęŖč«"
ReplyDeleteMiChi - That stall has so many cockroaches running from the car workshop. I agree their Char Siew is tasty.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Ng - Why everything in Klang? You live in Klang? The journey to reach there for a meal will take me ages. Got KL/PJ food haven to share?
Nicholas Rashidee - BSN got give housing loan meh?? I will check it out... Dude, you will definitely become a catwalk diva in KL soon. I'm taking fashion lessons for free from JD Cole's blog.
KEENYEE - You are so homely and hardly know eatery places man. Time to treat us all and we bring you to explore ok.
SK Thamby - Well it is fact that no one blogs so frequent in 2 languages like you. Maybe I should blog in Eng/BM too.
Anton - I promise I won't reveal your darkest secrets if you have any. LOL
TZ - How I wished that I knew you earlier! You are so clever to tipu huh. Canadians are so kiasu compared to Americans. Right?
Perky - Sadly I never had Canadian friends but my brother who once studied in Canada claimed that the Canadians trust everyone so easily. Australians are over friendly and very wild when drunk. The older Penang folks had a hard time when RAAF base was in Butterworth eons ago. So many brawls and fights after the Aussies got drunk.
Plusmy - Akan Datang....Cerita Pontianak & Rumah Puaka!.... LOL
I can't say much for the venues in Malaysia coz I am such a homestay kid in Singapore, I haven't been travelling much lately. I have to disgree that the most kiasu is HongKongers. Come on lah, Singapore Lang Sibeh Kiasu Lah. Biggest Ferris Wheel Biggest everything, wah lao. But last in the list is true. heehee
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I think the best Bak Kut Teh (not in Klang) is the shop next to Dynasty Hotel in KL. I also agree with MiChi that the best wanton mee is the one beside the Seremban Highway.
ReplyDeleteI've been to hotels where they displayed flowers at the lobby but they made it look even odd.
ReplyDeletethere used to have a very good bak kut teh stall at maluri...but closed down dy
ReplyDeleteagree with you that CIMB provides best housing loan, at least better than HLB LOL

ReplyDeleteCharlene & Kevin - I will definitely go and try that stall next to Dynasty Hotel. If not good, you pay haar. I didn't know that Indian area has this stall.
Rad Sujanto - Next time you pay attention to the hotel's lobby. Good fresh flowers would bring good business.
LeuMas - Apa la you? Closed down still wanna tell me.

Bengbeng - I wonder which blogger is most hardworking besides SK?
JC - I thought you know LeuMas. He is very funny guy you know....
Vialentino - In my profile it says that i work in the advertising industry. Very long hours and very stressful job indeed. I thought you actually look familiar to me.
Shelly - Are you sure Kelana jaya got Bah Kut Teh? Got so many Malays live there wor. I agree that Banana Leaf is expensive since Bangsar is only meant for high class ppl like you.
Wuching - You are definitely friendly and funny too. I love your blog.
