I feel empty today

by jamminglady @ 16. Jun 2007 - 00:51:42

Everything I do is not good enough for everybody. I wonder what I need to do for anybody to appreciate me for a little bit or maybe I just didn't feel it.

Suddenly I feel lonely, helpless and worthless. Perhaps, some personal growth will help me regain some confidence in myself.


 
 

Buying Bedsheets from Takashimaya

by jamminglady @ 13. Jun 2007 - 20:46:53

Usually I won't even think about buying bedsheets. My mum usually does the job of doing that for all our beds. However, those few days I was feeling so hot on the bed and the bedsheets felt rough. I began to habour the thought that the bedsheets are bad. I need new ones. :P

The next day morning, I went to the Takashimaya department store. They always have this huge section specially for bedsheets. I was walking around trying to find the right type of materials for bedsheets that won't give me the warm and rough feeling on it. I was surprised to find exceptionally many helpers attending to the bedsheet section. To compare the numbers with the other sections, it's about 10:1 ratio. Perhaps, the bedsheet cost a lot and they could get commissions?

I walked around to shop for them and finally understood the few types of cotton from the sales assistants. The various types include egyptian cotton, egyptian cotton jacquered, cotton sateen and combed cotton. Jacquered means having faint designs embedded. Cotton sateen feels like the normal silky ones. I was wondering what this new term "Com-bed" meant. It is actually "Comb-ed" not "Com-bed". Haha. Anyway, I finally selected egyptian cotton which was said to be used in hotels. Hotels usually go for white and good hotels go for high thread counts so that it's super smooth. Well, the higher the thread count, the higher the price. There were discounted ones on egyptian cotton with a lower thread count. So I've decided to buy one for a try first. The pillow casing and the bolster casing were the original priced, they cost 2x of the discounted bedsheets. 88|

After finishing with my items, I need to head to the cashier. I thought that the sales assistants need to keep track of who attended to my shopping so that they could get commission. No need!!! They were there just to help the customers only. Hmmmmm.. why aren't they there in other sections? I'm still puzzled. Were the bedsheet section more prestigious? Wierd!

Mysterious Zodiac captivates you in the chase

Zodiac is a movie that you thought it would be filled with "Panic Room" excitement and the killer thrill. You would imagine it to have a few serious bloody scenes. I watched it yesterday and I came out surprised and amazed.

The movie started with a light music. It felt like a happy movie which would slowly move into the scary scenes. No doubt, it started with a few murder stories. Later on, it moved into a CSI-like story. Police starting to find trails of the serial killer who sent letters to the press to get famous. The movie started to get slow. There were parts which made you think that the police had found the killer but it hadn't. Scenes started to get 1-2 months later, 6 months later, 1-2 years later, 6-7 years later.. Geez, when is it going to end??!!! I was sitting on the first row and the most corner seats. My neck was almost breaking. I was actively hoping to find a climax of the story but after 1.5 hours, it still looked like an anti-climax.

While you thought it's another disappointing movie, the climax came. The cartoonist tries harder than the police to find the murderer. His search and deciphering of the codes made it more and more exciting towards the end.

It's a good movie at the end of the show. It's based on true case files and not a dramatic wild murderer chase. Worth a watch! :>>
