what's the problem of being offered places in universities in sabah or sarawak? what is so unfair about that?

i wonder why there are yet so many close minded people who think only certain universities are better than others, when the quality of a graduate depends a lot on the student himself/ herself...

start an e-commerce...

MiLKTea — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 14:21:15 +0800

i have quitted my job to further my studies. which means, i have lost my source of income. yet, i do not wish to living moneyless, thus thinking to start a business via online aka e-commerce.

my problem is, i don't know what to sell because i am not really sure if ppl are fond of buying things online...or, even if i know what to sell, where to get the stock?

guys and girls, do you have any idea? may i know what are the things (or services) that you need and wish to buy it?

p/s: i dunno where to post this, thus just post here where everyone talk...but please do not post 'funny' feedback eg "sell yourself"...

Do you mind to live with your husband's siblings?

MiLKTea — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 23:11:37 +0800

I have a friend who married recently and of course, she's living with her husband...only that the husband is living the house with his two other siblings...(the husband is the owner though)

I was thinking, given I am the lady in this case, I might go to the extend to delay my marriage until the siblings move away...for me, living with husband's parents is still ok, but living with his siblings??...

Doesnt the siblings understand that we need privacy? Or, are we going to live forever with the siblings? And, if his siblings are those b****y type, I will never know when I will be the next target....Or, am I the one who will do the housechores albeit the siblings have a fair share in using the house?

For me, if with parents, I am cool about it, because after all they become my 'parents' as well and it's my responsibility to take care of them...but siblings? I just couldnt accept that...at least not for now...

Thus, I would like to know, am i the only one who have such thinking? I am sure it will affect the love relationship if the husband doesnt mind the siblings living with him...What do you think?

when moving to another company

MiLKTea — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:23:11 +0800

i think there is one thread on this, but i couldnt find it, thus open a new topic here....

the background is like this:

still working at company A, got offer from company B, agree to resign from company A after sign offer letter from company B (means for now havent sign anything yet)

scenario 1:
package from company B not good enough
--> although have verbally say 'yes', upon seeing the benefit package not that good, is it nice to refuse to sign the offer letter? (reject the offer)

scenario 2:
package from company B quite good, have signed the offer letter, but company A refuse to accept resignation
--> is the resignation valid?

scenario 3:
package from company B quite good, have signed the offer letter, but later realized company A is much better (haven't submit resignation letter)
--> can the offer letter be void? i heard from someone that, although you have signed the offer letter, as long as you didnt report on the first day, the job tender is not valid. is that true?

in short, have you have experience like above? mind to share?

sweet talker guy

MiLKTea — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 17:37:39 +0800

saw many posts on guys being sweet talkers....

questions: would you like your bf being a sweet talker? or, he may lame in talking but treat you very nice?

girls like sweet talks. if her bf lame in talking, she might think the bf is not interested, or the bf is "boring"... (coz cant really hit off a hippy conversation)... but then the guy is very nice to her....
or, the guy is sweet talker, and nice to her also....but who knows, he is also sweet talker to any girl !! would she fear the risk of losing him, such that other girls might be interested in her bf, or her bf is memang itchy with all girls....unless she can be very sure that her bf is merely being nice with everyone, with no other intention...

what is your thought? experience?

Do couples always make out?

MiLKTea — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 00:33:14 +0800

A friend told me that couples always make out....means they cuddle, kiss, hug, lick, bite, massage etc etc....

Thus, I am just curious -- do couples always make out when meet up...perhaps at least once a week?
What if they dont make out -- the relationship is less fun?

And how far do girls let their bfs "explore" them?
At which stage of the relationship do girls let bfs touch their sensual areas (eg breasts)?
After pak tor for one month? Two months?

Kindly share your experience...

deployment manager sucks

MiLKTea — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 10:28:39 +0800

i had a bad (and sucks!!) day in office recently....

i am assigned to a project, let's name it project of the application ABC-- i am the system analyst cum support, with a deployment manager (DM) for the project...

last friday, just before lunch, the DM emailed me a form, asking me to fill in and said it's top priority... in the email she sent me, it consists of the long thread of emails talking on application XYZ, thus i emailed her back, is this for ABC or XYZ?

she never replied me, so i thought maybe it is for ABC (i am ABC support, you see...), thus i fill in the form as it is for ABC and emailed back the form to her....

the next thing is omg.....she responsed back, cc to my managers as well, saying something like this:

1. i told you this is top priority, and now you said you cant do it just because it is out of your scope?
2. asking my managers, do staffs now are allowed to pick and choose their tasks?
3. accusing me delaying the project because the form is not filled in according to what she wanted (she said she wanted for XYZ in this offending email)
4. bla bla bla complaining on how busy is she and that i am not helping her....

first of all, it NEVER comes from me, be it verbal or written, that indicate that i have the intention to delay projects, and NEITHER did i ever say i wont do a job because it's out of my scope....how can she simply accuse me, and cc to my managers as well? i understand that she is tight herself, but that doesnt mean she can simply accuse and blame me on the whole thing, as if i'm all wrong and she's all right....btw, it is her 'begging' me to do something, but with this kind of behaviour? i may be a freshie (i have only 9 months working experience) but i dun see a profesionalism in her at all after all this....actually i am not afraid she cc my managers, just that very upset she blaming me like she has nothing to be blamed about...and btw, the actual person responsible to fill in the form is support for XYZ and not me (i'm ABC)....what i dun understand is, after a long email follow up by her with the XYZ support, y dun she just ask them to fill in but pass the form to me in the end? what the heck i know about XYZ? when asked her is it for XYZ or ABC, she never replied then suddenly accusing me on evrything....

guys, what's ur comment? initially i have the heart to work on this project, and now that the DM is so sux, i feel not appreciated at all and immediately lose my heart to work on this project anymore.....sad...
