T A G G E D ! ! ! Finally, me starting one!!!


1st attempt di T A G G E D ! ! ! nih was in Myspace kot? Then in Friendster? Then tried dalam blog (which happened to be like PAST TENSE giler gilernye entry di tagged yang mek buat tu - keziust!) So now, mek rase, it's time for me to start this T A G G E D ! ! ! business thingy, kan 5thE!? OPS!

Asal- kejadian entry inieh, adalah hasil inspirasi dan sumbangan idea suci oleh 5thE katanya, yang dalam masa dua minggu nih, actually, seminggu nih, dah sumbangkan 2 lagi idea yang menarik dan mek telah praktikkan one of it. Dia started buat satu perkataan apa tah dalam tagboard mek tu (mek kasik contoh jer la ek, say, Admin). Ok, dia bok mai idea cemana tah terkeluar sebagai A D M I N. Notice the space² thingy!? Terus mek tukar nama² profile mek kat Myspace lah, Friendster lah, cam, cantek, kan, ado space² tu? Then lepas tu, second idea tadi - tercetus bab kes CAWAN. But lets not get into detail. Nanti spoil the mood pulak kalau mek citerkan about it now, here, right now, right here, kan? Hiks!

Back to this T A G G E D ! ! ! entry business thingy. Ok. Here's the deal... *Lets ignore the 1st two paragraphs of this entry! Concentrate on this one as the beginning of this wonderful entry! Hiks!

Yes - me starting a "You've been T A G G E D ! ! !" entry; yeap - me topic starter, the beginner, the erm, hmmm - well, the truth is, it was 5 t h E 's idea actually, but I  sort of like rephrased it here and there and all... and so... here we have it...


(a)You've been T A G G E D ! ! ! - "List out 5 people whom you would like to bring along with you to Istanbul, Turkey; where you will spend with them a week- long stay at the luxuriously furnished Grand Sultan Suite at the ever majestic Ciragan Palace Kempinski Hotel. Owh and do tell us why these 5 lucky people deserve to be there with you…" And to that 5 lucky people listed in the entry, C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S ! ! ! You've just been T A G G E D ! ! !(b)


Say, if you've been T A G G E D ! ! !, and you have a blog, everything's made simple, made easy for ya. Just copy back from point (a), where all the yadey yadey yadey,  to the blab bla la, up to where it all ended at (b). And after finishing the highlighting, the copying process, and doing the appropriate pasting posting thingy, wallah! Tudiah! Nah!!! That's it! You're done. Well, almost, I guess - it ain't over of course until you do your fair share as well, and T A G another 5 lucky souls!!!

PS: Please make sure you notify the 5 people that you've tagged, and for those that have been tagged, once you've done with your tagged entry, be sure to let the person who tagged you know that you've completed the tagged entry and that you also inform the new person on the list that you yourself tagged. Complicated? It's ok. I LOIKE!!!

It'll definitely be a cool thang if that 5 lucky people whom you have chosen to come along with you i.e. T A G G E D ! ! ! have their own personal blogs. That way, they can continue with this T A G G E D ! ! ! T A G G Y ! ! ! M E M E ! ! ! business thingy (M E M E ? ? ? G H A Z, why don't YOU explain it to us. Hiks!). And on the other hand, IF you, they, them, he, she, whoever, that has/ have been tagged, does not have a blog, does not have a space where journal lives, where words moves on and on..., then, all I gotta say is – tsk tsk tsk, whatta pity...!

Owh and in case you are wondering about what, where, how, when, who, and all about Ciragan Palace Kempinski Hotel, why don't  log on to this website; http://www.ciragan-palace.com. Prolly that way, after seeing the hotel, you get the feel of doing the entry, provided you've been tagged that is. And what's with the luxuriously furnished Grand Sultan Suite? Owh please, I bet it's just like any other suite. Its just another typical extra- large/ spaced deluxe bedroom, refurnished to be called a suite, and named it as GRAND SULTAN Suite. Now, tell me... How grand, how sultanate- ish, can this Grand Sultan Suite at Ciragan Palace Kempinski Hotel be lar? Hiks! Why don't I let you decide... http://www.ciraganpalacesuites.com

So since I'm the first to put up this entry, I guess, it's only fair I name 5 people whom I have chosen to come along with me, as requested in the T A G G E D title. Hurm... well, it doesn't state it HAS to be someone with a blog, right? It just state that IF the person that I tagged does not have a blog, then, it'll end just there. We don't get to know who the person tagged next, right? Well, he or she who don't have a blog, can still be tagged, and then make that entry in their email and email 'em to moi and me post 'em on your behalf, can right? :)

Anyways, who would those 5 lucky people be? The 1st 6 to spend a week at Ciragan Palace Kempinski Hotel, Istanbul Turkey - and somemore, spend at the most expensive suite available; The Grand Sultan Suite. Hmmmm... Ok. I've narrowed down the following people:
  1. V O L K S - Why I chose Volks even though he doesn't have a blog? Says who he doesn't have a blog. He got one, right Volksie; just with the name/ headline/ title - al reserved in other words. Hiks! Anyways, why did I choose Volksie? Now, tell me, how can I ever live without him? My soul mate, my best of friend, my bro, my shoulder to cry on, my this and that - he's my all, my everything. Of course I'd pick him to tag along, even though he might not have a blog. Although at times we fight, hey, even there are/ were times the sun was upset with the cloud and the rain, and vice versa, right? Hiks! And besides, I know me and him, we'll enjoy every bit of the moment as both of us are adventurous, we often be curious and try out, see new things and certainly, exploring Ciragan Palace Kempinski hotel is one of them... :)

  2. 5 t h E - Leave YOU behind after all this was actually your idea?! Muahahaha. Besides, I can always do snappy² here and there with you, right? And yes, YOU DO have a blog. The T A G G E D world/ business/ entry/ lifestyle lives on! Hoyehhh!!! Owh and darling, I wouldn't want to be there without you, miss hearing you giggle and laugh like nobody's business! And who knows, with you there with me, we get the chance to A N I M A L I Z E a.k.a. A N I M A L I S M E ourselves till wee hours in the morning and ended up finding a brand new "FRIENDLY GUY" for you... ;)

  3. I S I S N A T A S H A - The Goddess of Beauty, Goddess of Nature, Goddess of MEREPEKNESS! How can I not include you slut! You have to come! You MUST! It'll be great to have you along and start talking non-stop nonsense. Of course, at certain time, I'd go about the hotel saying "Who's this Mad Hatter who can't stop talking? I'm sorry. I don't know her... so pretty! I don't like her. So simply woman with lite² make up - I hate her. Voice so woman - I'd kill her!" and off me went for some hi- tea. Hiks! Silly, of course I want you to come along. It'll be fun! It'll be exciting. Then, of course, there will be times when you will suddenly change/ turn yourself to become like your Mentor, Ginger de la Loca. THAT will be the time I'll be cursing myself for bringing you along! LOL!

  4. H U S Z a.k.a. P E R V - Now how can I not bring this wonderful slut cum lesbian- partner, happy go lucky, cheerful blogger friend of mine along! Of course you must come, and I bet when you're there, you'll be all like "I squad, I grab and I swallow" right Huszie!? Hiks! You're the ultimate slut, even Isis puts her hands and wigs all on the floor, sujuds for you and your credibility to go out and say what you want, get want you like, and - eh wait, it's say what you like, and get what you want. Hehehe. Owh btw, when you get one, make room for me too! Me want to "Squad, Grab, Swallow" also! OOPPSS! - and now, I suppose, everyone's wondering, who will be the final friend/ blogger/ person to be getting the chance of a lifetime to tag along to this "lets make believe" escape to paradise!

  5. G I N G E R d e l a L O C A - Ahhhh yes, I know. I know. She's a dear good best friend who so happens to have a blog but looks pretty dead! OPS! She's indeed one of my best friend, she has a blog, and she has that vicious mouth with words that I swear to God, could kill me in sea of tears! OPPPSSS! And speaking of blog, lets just assume she does not have one. The last T A G G E D entry I tagged her, well - you've guessed it right. What makes you think that she'll respond to this tag entry? Hahahaha. But it's just nice to mention her in the top 5 list. At times I hate her for her cheerful disposition; at times I just love her for being older than me. Certain times I couldn't take it when she bad- mouthed me a.k.a bitched about me, right on my face. But right now, everyday, I'm learning to understand how this woman operates. Don't push certain buttons, that's for sure. And what better way to learn more about my best friend, than to bring her along with the rest of the members of the lucky groupie. And with her around, it'll be fun walking down the grand staircases of the hotel/ palace. It'll be like one of those Evening Dress round/ competition in the usual beauty pageants, right gal!? Hiks!
And so, there we have it. I've just been officially certified as the person/ blogger to complete this T A G G E D entry. I've placed the T A G G E D story-line/ title/ subject/ objective, and I've listed what it requires of me - me listed 5 names of friends/ bloggers/ best- friends and all, not just listed the names, but made a brief comment/ reason why I think these 5 people deserve to go with me to Istanbul, to stay at the Grand Sultan Suite at The Ciragan Palace Kempinski Hotel. Hiks! And these 5 names will continue this T A G G E D entry, in which I believe, strongly believe that it'll end up with H U S Z I E, I S I S and 5 t h E who will continue doing this tagged entry. V O L K S I E, is unpredictable at times. He might just pop-up with something interesting. G I N G E R d e l a L O C A ? Owh please, lets not even begin to think that she's even reading this! LOL!

Although I must say, even though I have already fulfilled the required criteria - list 5 names; but I guess, I have a few more names (don't suppose you call 15 names, 'A FEW', right? LOL!), honorary names if I'm allowed to say so, worth tagging them along... :)
  1. K A K R E D M U M M Y - Kak Red, please excuse Mr. EK from your T A G G E D entry ya. LOL!

  2. [ Y ] D A R K L I G H T E R - At times Y, you don't realize it, you have a very witty way of putting things into words/ lines/ stories/ blog entries... :) And that's why you've been T A G G E D ! ! !

  3. E V A A L T A N T U Y A - The ever so lovely Eva, of Glitters Group... Gal, I KNOW you can do this T A G G E D entry thingy in your Myspace blog!

  4. L E E Z - And you thought you'd be left out!? Well hello darling, P I O N E E R in the world of blogging among 'hadek²s' right? Well darling, time to shine! :)

  5. B A B E P A R I S - Gal, I KNOW you've left Xenga, but I KNOW you still on it at Myspace blog! DIG it gal! Hiks!

  6. L E E U K - The entrepreneur who came up with the ever so delicious, ever so successful pineapple juice in the UK, and owner of God knows how many masquerade party masks. I wonder, should you T A G along with me and the rest to this dreamy vacation, will you take off the mask and reveal the true beauty that you've been keeping away from us all these while? Hiks!

  7. T E P A K S I R E H - Yes, hey I was at your blog earlier on today (or was it yesterday) when I got the idea to do that entry "Countries I've Been To..." - thanks to your side board/ bar on the right hand side of your blog layout. Hiks! Hey, you've traveled the world. Bet it'll be fun to travel to a 5 star dreamy vacation with you, right hun? :)

  8. G H A Z - You're in favor of all these T A G G E D and all the M E M E entries, right? Well, let's see what you can come up with this one; or should I say, WHO shall be in the list? Owh and of course, this one, it ain't for any charity work/ fundings ok? Its just one of those, for good times sake... :)

  9. U J A N G M D - I've always wanted to tag ya, and wanted you to tag along. Guess now is the time for it hey ho Ujang? :)

  10. Y U S - Sweet fella, whose blog on Myspace blogs I've been constantly reading, scanning through. Hiks! And I think you'd be somewhat a very fun and exciting person with loads of things to talk about, should you tag along. Do you mind to be T A G G E D? Come... come... :)

B R O R I C K - And yes, you wrap up the top 20 listing of the names been T A G G E D for the purpose of holidaying in Istanbul, enjoying the wonderful 1st class, 5 star services at the Ciragan Palace Kempinski Hotel, in the comfort of the spacious Grand Sultan Suite.

And wallah! Me came up with a brand new T A G line. Fie, work on the "CITER CAWAN EMIRATES KU" tu duluh! Hahahahaha! Anyways the very the by the ways, me can't stop laughing thinking about this...

30 Jul 07, 00:27
5 t h E ~@H o M e: Kempinski sounds similar like KIMPAH kan? hehehe *runnnnnn

30 Jul 07, 00:29
N U R L E A Back @ Office: 5 t h E ~@H o M e: Kempinski sounds similar like KIMPAH kan? hehehe *runnnnnn<- bet the king was kimpah back then, hence the name kimpinski came along?

And yes, I've just realized something - I've officially tagged 5, as per requested by the T A G line. Honorary tagged names, I've got like 15. Meaning, I have to notify 20 people that they've been tagged!? Haiyak! This is the part I overlooked... urgh! If all these 20 peeps comes to my blog tomorrow, (or should I say now, today - MONDAY July 30th) 1st thing in the morning, then, it'll be much easier for me la kan. Tapi tak per. Ku dah sangguh kuaqkan perah otak utk 20 nama di tagkan, apalah sangat mek buat bulletin kat Myspace tu - since most of them, infact almost all of them except for one or two, semuanya members mek di Myspace. Apa susah, kan? Hiks!

A taste of FIRST CLASS on Emirates - PART 5


DXB-SIN on EK432, A Taste Of Flying In First Class - Part 5
post Mar 6 2007, 12:31 AM


Earlier on I said, my flight was delayed ex DXB, right? Well - it was like 2 hours delayed and actually, my flying scheduled was somewhat something like this:

26 FEB EK432 DXB SIN 0845/ 1940
26 FEB MH610 SIN KUL 2120/ 2220

But since my flight was delayed for 2 hours - so I sort of like missed my connecting flight back to KUL. But luckily I'm traveling in 1st Class, for both sectors, so upon arrival into SIN, I was greeted by EK representative in Changi Singapore and was told that EK has arranged for me a room at Sheraton Towers Singapore, in return for missing out my connecting flight on MH610 to KUL. So there you go, who says the 1st class treatment was only meant onboard the aircraft? Worth me paying AED5750.00 for the flight ticket! LOL!

I was escorted to the arrival hall, passing through the immigration area, clearing my checked in luggage (my bags were checked in from DXB direct to KUL but since I've missed out my flight, they took my bags out and let me have 'em although I could just leave the bags there at the airport and collect 'em once I check-in again for my SIN-KUL flight the next day)

The airport transfer was ok - with a local cab. All paid by EK. EK also not only paid for my deluxe twin room, but also for my in-room supper dining and also my breakfast and transfer back to the airport from the hotel the next day. Wow - what else could I ever ask for? smile.gif


The room was VERY nice. Me loike!


Spacious - in deed!


The hotel lobby - VERY spacious!

And so that wraps up my flight log/ travel log with EK432 on 1st Class... smile.gif

LKY: Tudiah! Tamatlah 5 part entries, dalam masa setengah jam! :) Hebats kan!?

A taste of FIRST CLASS on Emirates - PART 4


DXB-SIN on EK432, A Taste Of Flying In First Class - Part 4
post Mar 6 2007, 12:18 AM


And the story, continues...

1st up - the Continental Breakfast service:





One crew was busy setting up the table and doing the table layout with breakfast (continental) and the other crew concentrates on service the drinks




My continental breakfast

And afterwards, I watched "LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE"...



Later, prior to landing into SIN, around 3 hours before landing, Lunch was served:


1st up - hot savories



Noticed the table was not set with linen and all - in which MH does not practice this. I know, I was an ex 1st Class and Business Class dedicated crew once, so I know all these procedures. And so EK doesn't practice that. Tsk tsk tsk...



Although I must say, EK has an added touch to the table set-up for lunch/ their meal service. They had that small orchid on top of the table in which MH doesn't practice that back then. Don't know about now (i left the airline in Dec 2004)... but I must say the setting was very noiiicee (nice)





Both 1st class crew members doing their course by course service for lunch


The starter


My favorite - garlic bread


Personalized garden salad!


The crew, doing the main course service


My main course - chef's recommendation!


Just noiiicceee!


Dessert/ fruits service...


Loved the cream caramel without the lots and lots of the dressing! smile.gif

Anything more to share? Yeap - theres more to share, when we return! 1st Class service onboard EK, doesn't end here... wink.gif

LKY: AIYOH! Buat entry nih, boh gambaq² makanan, MEK PULAK YANG LAPAQ NOW! Sentiaps!!!

A taste of FIRST CLASS on Emirates - PART 3


DXB-SIN on EK432, A Taste Of Flying In First Class - Part 3
post Mar 6 2007, 12:08 AM


The very next day, on the departure day, 26th February 2006 - my flight was STD at 0845hrs. And after waking up from a slumber sleep/ rest, had my shower and all, and went downstairs to get my early breakfast before heading to the gate for my departure. Yeap, you've guessed it right on again - EAT/ FOOD again! LOL!


Morning view of the Emirates 1st Class Lounge - pretty packed!


A complete and healthy breakfast I must say - LOL! Die la FAT! LOL!

And after breakfast, the screen said something like BOARDING and so me went to the gate, gate erm, 36 or 46... but what a surprised it turned out to be - even economy class pax still not boarded YET! And I smell DELAY!!!!!!!!

And after like waiting for like another hour or so - we were all transported on the airport bus from the terminal to the aircraft which was parked like 5 minutes ride away from the terminal. And yes, the smell of DELAY was so so so soooooooooo FRESH! Hiks!

After boarded the aircraft, on ground, the crew in 1st class and the zone itself was busy. Full load in first class.


Pax still boarding


The 1st class crew serving welcome juice, arabian coffee and dates



The cabin in the 1st class, was like in any typical B773s. Spacious and filled with things to be explored - the online demand movies, menu and stuffs. So many things to do in so little time. I was like expecting to fly with B773-ER series coz its fitted with the latest 1st class zone - 180 flat bed/ seat, with individual seating areas. But I guess I just had to settle for the normal 1st class seating config! smile.gif


Spacious!


Online movie demand menu/ request form




The menu


1st service is continental breakfast, and 2nd service will be lunch, prior to landing into SIN



LKY: Mek actually was VERY upset it wasn't the Boeing 777ER tu. Sentaps sangat. Macam... arrghhh! I so wanted to fly that 777ER. But well, was still flying on 1st Class la jugak, kan? Muahahahah!

A taste of FIRST CLASS on Emirates - PART 2


DXB-SIN on EK432, A Taste Of Flying In First Class - Part 2
post Mar 5 2007, 11:30 PM


Continued: 1st Class Services - ON GROUND! smile.gif

And what's next!? FOOD FOOD FOOD! My goodness!!!!!! I swear I think I gained weight during the more than 10 hours stay at the lounge! MY GOD!:

























And since I was at the airport way way earlier than the time I should have been, like, I was at the airport since 1830hrs on the 25th of February, whereas my flight was actually on the 26th of February, at 0845hrs - so I was offered a room in the lounge. Well actually they didn't offered me - I went and requested for a room in the lounge. Imagine - a hotel/ bedroom(s) right there, in the lounge itself. It's a definite WOWWWWIEE!!! At first I didn't get the room, as it was full! But later, somewhere around midnight, as other passengers went out of the room for their flight, so after the housekeeping has done their chores, so they paged me and I got my room! WOOPPIE!


FINALLY! My room's ready! Room number 4. I think they have like 8 rooms all together... just for the long transit passengers. On my case, it's different. They don't normally offer rooms for pax originating from Dubai. But I guess, it's just MY LUCK! smile.gif


It looks a bit too, erm, small?


Owh my - IT IS SMALL! But COMFORTABLE!!!! smile.gif


Yep - definitely small - but am not complaining! smile.gif


The drinks that will make me go to sleep! LOL!

STAY TUNED - for the next update in this flight/ travel log will continue with 1st class services on board EK432! Now u have seen what 1st class has got to offer, ON GROUND - wait until you see what's next! smile.gif

LKY: This COPY PASTE entry sure buatkan mek penat also lah jugak! Hish!

A taste of FIRST CLASS on Emirates - PART 1


Thought of sharing something I put up kat MalaysianWings Forum kat my blogdrive also (nampak sangat malas - kes kes copy paste sajork! LOL!). Katanya hari tu ingat nak buat dah kat sinik, tapi memandangkan travel log mek ke Middle East ada masalah technical sedikits, so mrasalah terkandas katanya kan. Hiks! So nih mek just nak share my experience traveling 1st Class on EMIRATES... :)

DXB-SIN on EK432, A Taste Of Flying In First Class - Part 1
post Mar 5 2007, 11:29 PM


I would have to say, once upon a time, somewhere last year, I did an entry in my BLOG which featured the meal services onboard EK (Emirates)'s 1st class and truly, never would I ever dreamed of flying on first class Emirates. Well well, 26th February 2007, it seems that my wish came true when my dad said "Why don't you pamper yourself and travel back to KL via Sin on EK432 1st class - after all, you've been working so hard on this trip/ group. It's time you relax and enjoy the trip...". I was like - FOR REAL!? Hahahah... upgraded my Economy class seat for that 1st class seat - and what did I get in return? Not just 1st class seat with 1st class meal service on EK... but there's more to it...

Hotel pick-up: - Was picked up from Sheraton Dubai Creek Hotel 12 hours before flight because I decided to hang around at the airport and also explore the 1st Class Lounge. Was picked up with Emirates' Volvo don't know what series! LOL! But sure it was comfy. Treated like a real VIP. Me loiiiikkeee (like!) Chauffeured driven of course - a friendly Pakistani guy. Sweet fella.


My misery! LOL!


My e-ticket, passport, and stuff - all intact!


A wagon Volvo? Hehehe


Tried to take the driver's pic but something went wrong somewhere I suppose! LOL!

Arrived at Dubai International Airport - First Class and Business Class Departures only. Its amazing to see how Emirates sets up its own departure hall/ check-in area/ ticketing services and all, away from their Economy Class passengers. Its like you're in another world, all on your own - surrounded by 1st class and business class passengers only. The Emirates personnel greeted me at the car as the chauffeur opened up my door. And as the chauffeur took out my luggage out of the trunk, the porter came by and assisted me also. And so that's 3 people assisting 1 1st class passenger. What more can you ask!?


Noticed the ground staff for EK had another different color of uniform. I believe that applies for almost every other airline. That's how they differentiate air crew/ ground handling and ground staff? smile.gif


As you enter a world on its own... am awed!


Checking in


Owh look! They have an express check-in all on your own kiosks!





Told ya - it's like a world on its own. But this was not during the peak hours - believe me when the peak hours arrives, it'll be as busy as the Economy Class zone checking-in area! smile.gif

After checking in - me went through the immigration, again, on its own, not together with the Economy Class passengers. Then went through security screening checks and what not. NOTE: For 1st timers traveling into DXB and going out of DXB, be well prepared to take off every metal objects/ jeweleries and stuffs from your body. Even belt buckles, shoes, bracelets and all - they're very strict. And yes - EVEN for 1st class and business class passengers! smile.gif

So after that - me straight away went to the Emirates 1st Class Lounge. Goodness, even in KLIA, for 1st class and business class passengers onboard MH flights - they all go into the same Golden Lounge, right? But not in DXB! smile.gif


And yes - the entrance to the heavens of 1st class ON GROUND! smile.gif

Views of the 1st class lounge:









To be continued...

LKY: Tudiah! For a COPY-PASTE entry pon ade part part jugak noh!? Muahahaha! Mrasalah sambung terus jer lepas nih! LOL!

I'm wishing... I'm wishing...


No, not macam lagu tu, "I'm wishing on a star" tu nah... Hiks! I'm making this entry as a wish list! TUDIAH! WIsh list la pulak dah, kan?

Cbox dah direnewkan premiumshipnya sampai 2010, what else yang mek nak tatau!? Haaa... ada la... hikhiks!

I've seen a few people/ bloggers yang buat wish list itu ini la, wish-carts la, this and that - technically, as mek paham about it; reason why diaorang buat wish list/ wishi- carts tu, is simply nak let others i.e. their readers know what they want la kan? But questionnye, diaorang nih just nak let their readers know what they want jer ke, or they nak ada dikalangan readers mereka to get 'em (the wishes) for them? Hurm... but of course, tgk mende jugak la kan. Buatnya they wish for tv PLASMA tu, or the FLAT SCREEN tv tu, ado ke readers yang sudi bagi kat depa?! Nak mampos!? Muahahahaha!

Ok, bagi mek pulak la kan, mek buat wish list nih, sajork jer nak bagi tahu ape yang mek dok mengidam nak membelik soon katanya, kan... tapi, erm, like, tatau bila la kan... hiks! And 2ndly, mek nak highlight, dalam wish list mek tu, ade satu bende yang mek ala ala nak tgk, ado dak yang akan mengofferkan diriks utk dapatkan utk mek!? *MATI LAH!!! Muahahahah - namanya pong WISH, kan?

Mrasalah ada  la kot di kalangan SR² sekalian yang akan feels² jadik Santa Clause, kan!? *Maaaaati la X'mas ujung bulan 12! Bukan ujung bulan 7!!!

Tarkir la kan, ada orang spons² ke, idak, mek TETAP nak wish list nih. Bloggers lain dok sebok buat wish list, mek pong nak buat also! Tapi wish list mek, gerannnddd occcayyy! Mek buat kat Yahoo! Shopping katanya. Hiks! Nak view wish list mek?


Mrasa click hyperlink kat atas nih, nah?

Suker tak? Heheheh... dalam wish list tu, yang mek rase mek akan SOON korek duit nak membelik, would be either one of these 3 items nih...

Kaaaatanya la kan... hiks! Tetap lagi la bab HANDPHONES, kan? Muahahaha. Kalau mek jadi la belik either one of these three (silap hari bulan, perabih duit beli tiga² sekali, kan!? MUAHAHAHA!), maka, tudiah! Bertambahlah yer, koleksi, NO, bukan koleksi handphones lah. I meant bertambahlah koleksi KOTAK! Muahahahahaha!!!

Tapikan, kan tadik, mek ada sebab I wanted something yang mek feels² kot² ada orang/ sesape yang nak hadiahkan kat mek dan make my wish come true, kans? Hiks! Mrasa. Apakebendenye tatau? Hiks! Yes u ols, noticed tak - most of the stuffs, boleh didapati di suparmarket² dan kedai² and all nih, kan? Ha, ade satu mende yang mek nak, memang SUSAH dan gerenti kerat jari beb, tak leh dapat kat Malaysia. Oversea jer adok stock mek rase. Hiks! Dan yer, bende nih, ONLINE can get maa... from Amazon.com nih! Ape kebendenyier? Hiks. Mrasa...


YES u ols!!! Mek sangat lah nak nak sangat² DVD 4 in 1 nih, sangat ² nih!!! Believe it or not, this is the one thing yang mek rasa dalam banyak² items dalam wishlist mek tu, yang dinch boleh didapati di Malaysia and thus hanya available kat oversea but made possible to buy online only kat Amazon.com itiew... So sapakah dikalangan SR² mek, readers² mek, kengkawans, strangers, and all - yang sudi make my wish come true dalam mendapatkan this DVD pack? Erm, brapa ongkos online shopping nya itiew??? Hiks! Tak mahal u ols!



Hurm... tak sampai pong USD50, ops! Hehehehe Hurry², jgn malu², jgn segan². Takmo contact and bagi tau mek kat comment area entry nih, lets, email mek, ke lea_laurielle@yahoo.com nah? Mrasa², mek tunggu! Hiks! *Mati lah "U vant tu vait? Ha, you VAIT LA FOREVER!" Muahahaha!

LKY: Yeah yeah yeah - apa susah buat entry wishlist tagih simpati raih kasihani dan sumbangansih utk dapatkan DVD 4 in 1 iniey, kan? I could just simply beli on my own - use my Visa or Master CCard la kan and make purchase online. TAPI, apakan daya, ada satu bank bodoh tu, nak kena apply VIRTUAL Visa or Master CCard la pulak, THEN only baru boleh belik online! Kejiust! Thus, idea utk Wish List kan DVD nih terhasiul. Siaul tak? Mueieueieu. Well, at least, am being honest of what I want la kan. Hehehehe. Mek tarkir nak buat blog entry utk nyatakan niat dan hasrat mek nak carik sapa yang baik hati nak belikkan hadiah DVD nih kat mek, kan? Mana ko nak - mek mintak hadiahkan mek DVD iniey ker, or, mek mintak hat the 3 items mek listed out dari my Wish List at Yahoo! Shoppings tu, kan!? Hahahahahaha... Tapikan, erm, kalau ada sapa² yang nak I.O.U dengan mek duliew pon takpa. Hang beli kat mek online, mek bayaq kat hang bila item dah sampai. That way, it will not become SPEDOship. It'll just be like, "I belikan kat u dulu online, nanti, u dapat, u bayar la kat I pulak, kan?" KAN!? Hehehehe THAT way, mek won't LARIKKK la kan...!!! Mueiueieueieue!

KAN? Sunggoh, erm, menakjubkan! (Mati la pinjam ayat orang! Muahaha!) Mek tau tau sajork, dosi ado 20 orang yang telah mendaftarkan nama/ e-mail mereks kat blogdrive mek utk mendapatkan notifikasi katanya kiranya blogkiew ado updates. Mujur lah lately jarang, kalau idak, dolo2, mampos depa2 nih punya mailbox penoh dengan 5 6 notifications PER DAY, kan!? Muahahaha...

Famous kah mek!? (TUDIAH! Kuaq dah ayat riak - eh, tapi tu, SOALAN, kan? Bukan STATEMENT like "MEK FAMOUS OK SEBAB MEK MASUK TV! KO MAMPO!? KO MAMPOS ADA LAH!" Ops! Mati la penambahan skript! LALALA!). Dinch lah u ols. Mek dinch la famous sangat... mek just TERLALU famous! (AIYOH! Memang aku carik nahas! Muahahaha! Tak pa. At least mek sedar mek carik nahas dari ayat2 brani mampos mek nih. Unlike some ppl, kuar ayat yang confirm bukan cari nahas dah - DAH MEMANG NAHAS DAH!, tapi, still, tidak menyedarinya - MEK SIMPATI!...(1)

Motif, entry nih, entry carut sapa tatau? DINCH lah! Bukan lah entry caruts ok. Entry meghoyan sebenaqnya. Mek just macam, tadik, mek dok update tu update nih, selak tu selak nih kat mek nye Admin page blogdrive tu, tau tau mai tang part Notifications. Ha sitiew la mek sedari, ada 20 e-mail yang telah diregisteredkan utk menerima notifikasi e-mail sekiranya mek ado buat updates, kan? Dan mek ala ala dinch la kenal sangat siapakah pemilik e-mail² tersebut, except one or two, possibly three e-mails yang mek kenal sangat siapakah gerangan pemilik e-mail² tersebut. Hehehehe...

Sapa² yang nak introduce dirinya pemilik e-mail² kat atas itiew, you can do so, either at this entry's comment area, or you can e-mail me directly and tell me siapakah u ols? Hiks. I know, some of you ols feels² nak become silensio readers sajork, tapi, kalau dah nak jadik silensio readers, perlu la feels² include e-mail and require notifikasi msg yang mek dosi updated my blog, kan? Hiks!

LKY: Perhatian... Yang part mek highlighted dengan tanda (1) itiew, ha, nih, meh mek buat disclaimer. TUDIAH! Ada disclaimer nih. Yer lah, perenggan tu boleh timbulkan kontrobasi al controversy nih! So baik lah mek buat disclaimer. Muahahahaha. The whole perenggan tu sounded either mek carutkan orang or sounded mek riak mek famous (mati la am so full of myself, yer ke dak Ginger? Muahahah mati la GAGAK HITAM!) - seriously, mek tak bermaksud nak carut sapa² (KALAU ada yang terasa gak, mampos la ko. OPS!), or tidak terniat dihati iniew utk meriak²kan diri (Kalau orang lain riak, takpa pulak, noh!? Ops lagik!). So the whole perenggan itiew, silalah abaikankan. Mek sajork² jer :)

KAN? Mrasalah chatting kita di cbox mek tu berterusan yer premiumnye sampai ke tahun 2010!!! Muieueieueiueieueieu....

Kan? Sedar tak sedar, it's has been like 2 years dah since mek started using Cbox utk my blogdrive and for my website. Gerannnddd! Nih dah masuk tahun ketiga dos! Mek sker lah. And Cbox just keeps on getting better and better nih!!! Features makin malatops nih!!! Mati lah BAN BAN BAN! Muahahah!

Cbox nih telah ditemui oleh kW la kan, kan u ols? U ols dengan mek lah tgh gigih carik tagboard yang vast in the market. And puppappuppap kite jumpa Cbox, kan u ols? And my 1st year usage of Cbox was sponsored by Abang Z of UK itiew, kan u ols? :) Tahun kedua, erm, mek sponsor diri sendirs, kan? Hiks! Mrasalah tahun ketiga, disumbang sponsorshipkan oleh Abang Jai a.k.a menerusi nicknamenye Abang a2a dalam Cbox mek itiew, kan? Mrasa, clap² semua, say TQ kat Abang a2a! :) Muahsss! Akan tetapi, dia sponsorship utk usage till 27 July 2008 - habis, sampai 2010? Sapa sponsorinas lagi 2 tahun itiew?

Me: "Mama! My credit card dinch allow internet usage itiew!"

BBM: "So?" sambil continue masak daging masak kicap kat dapur... *telan air liur japs!*

Me: "So, can I use mama punye card yang Abg N kasik, issued by Barclays Bank UK itiew???"

BBM: "Er... nak beli apadia tatau?"

Me: "Ade la..."

BBM: "Ha, dah nak guna credit card orang, takmo cakap pulak. CAKAP!"

Me: "Ala, ada nak beli somethings nihs, computer usage la jugak..."

BBM: "Ahhh... softwares kah!?"

Me: "HO LEY!"

BBM: "Ok - brapa?"

Me: "USD20 sajork..."

BBM: "Ok..."

*BBM: Big Boss Mummy, isterinya kepada BBD, Big Boss Daddy. Muahahaha...

KAN!? OK sajork dan mek mendapat 2 tahun lagi bayaran utk usage Premium Cbox, kan? Hiks! Tapi, kalau Abang a2a sponsored USD20, BBM sponsored USD20 - bukankah sampai 2009 sajork? Motif 2010? Ahhh... behold...

1 month                   : US $2.00
6 months                 : US $11.00 – save $1
12 months               : US $20.00 – save $4
3 years                   : US $40.00 – get 1 year free! *Special offer!*

So apo lagik, mrasalah chat, chat, chat sampai 2010!!! Muahahaha *Confidensinya haku blog/ website aku akan berterusan sampai 2010, kan!?* Muahahaha mati la tahun 2010, tahun KEDAH MAJU! Habis now, tak maju la kan!? Muahahahaha! Tapi tak per, in the case casings la kan, website and/ or blogdrive mek, jadik unaccessable katanya, or tgh down, or telah dishutdownkaput katanyakan (Wallahua'lam... Na'uzubillah... mintak simpang. Selagi mek leh pertahankan, akan kupertahankan...), gi la kat Quickpage mek tu - http://lealaurielle.cbox.ws/, nah? Hiks! Mrasa leh terusansajork chat dari sitiew. Lately nih, blog dan website pon dan memang jarang di updatesi (mati la pemalas!). So kalau dah tahu nan ado updates kat either one of the two sites, dan kalau takat nak say HI and chat ngan mek, tak yah ler susah2, masuk quickpage itiew sajork... :)

So ok lah, kata² ucapan terima kasih dah, citer disebalik tajuk entry, dah. Kesah sapa sponsor sapa apa apa itiew semua pong, dah. Sejarah penggunaan pon dah, kadar/ charges yang dikenakan utk Premium Cbox pon dah (Kalau dah BASIC Cbox, biasa lah kan, itu features locked, ini locked, kan? Hiks!) - hmm... apa lagi ek? Ah yes, dengan ini, maka, TERUPDATELAH blog kiew setelah seminggu! Ops! Lalalalalala...

LKY: Dengan adanya cbox bernafas sampai 2010 nih, harap2 mek dapat update dengan lebih banyak dan rajin sikit la kan? Tapi nak buat cemana, mek kebusyan lah u ols. Seperti mek katakan dalam cbox mek, pada:

26 Jul 07, 22:52

Tapi tak per, mek dah nekad u ols! Mek takmo jadik macam orang sebelah umah mek, http://ginger-dl-loca.blogdrive.com! Ops! Mati la mek kena tempeleng kang - LARI!!!
