My Kind of Book: Macbook AIR.
World’s Thinnest.
Now if only I can get my hands on this…
Jerk that never gave me my Ipod nano when I purchased my macbook, in which I wrote him an angry email in return — with no reply till this day. Well, so I returned the Macbook to spite him. And have been meaning to write a second round of hate letters.

Life of a Banker #1001
Some of you know that I have recently gone through a new job transition, yes – into a bank job. Although I can tell you now that despite the boring content of the job itself, there are very very interesting customers that make even a monotonous job such as depositing a cheque seem upwardly… interesting.
Case 1: Mr.W
Mr.W: Are you handing out free red pockets and calendars this year?
Secret Agent Nelle: Oh I’m very sorry Mr. W, but we ran out of red pockets and calendars.
Mr.W: What? I come here and somebody told me they’re not delivered yet, now you tell me they’re gone?
SAN: I’m afraid that’s correct Mr. W. We had it for one day and it was all distributed to the customers.
Mr.W: That is ridiculous. I demand that I have a pack of red pockets this saturday.
SAN: Uh Mr.W… we don’t…
Mr.W: No, I don’t care, you should’ve saved them for the customers.
SAN: (thinking: uh, that’s what we did, didn’t we? We gave them to our customers?….?)
Mr.W: (takes a piece of paper) What’s your number
SAN: Uhh sorry sir, but I dont’ think I can give you my…
Mr.W: No, what’s your number.
SAN: (gives bank’s number)
Mr.W: Okay (stares at my nametag). SAN I will call you this saturday and ask you for the red pockets. Are you clear?
SAN: Yes, Mr.W. I’ll try.
Mr.W: No, I will have my red pockets, and you will do something about it.
So I’m left scratching my head as to where we’re gonna go find these red pockets that we DON’T have. After seeing that his portfolio has $12,000,000, we decided to buy him 2 packs of red pockets instead, and hand them to him tomorrow. We thought losing a client with such a portfolio would be infinitely worse than losing $2 to red pockets. I thought it was spoiling the customers too much, but C said: “SAN, you just can’t say no to money.”
But the real question is, if you had that much money, why would it even matter if you got FREE red pockets or not?
His name is now re-nicknamed to Mr.Cheapo. I’m sorry, but that’s a necessary statement right there.

NP, my saviour.
And yes, for all you Americans who thought I wrote ‘saviour’ wrong, we actually spell it with an ‘u’.
Anyway, so this may be my best investment yet:
NP Ceramic Hair Straightener
Ladies, if you want silky, soft and straight hair, an NP straightener is the way to go. Apparently, it has some infrared technology in it as well, I don’t know. But what I do know is that it makes my hair look like this:
Mmm mmm mmm.
I paid under the retail price for mine because I strategically seduced my hair dresser into selling it to me at $125. Usually it goes for $160. But even then, it’s still worth it. Trust me.

Hmmm, maybe the reason Mr. W has that much money is because he’s a cheapo.
macbook air is pretty sexy…ALMOST orgasmic…but does it even have a cdrom/dvd drive?
oh…and will it BLEND?!
is it better than the CHI?
i used to work at a bank and have some crazy stories… and a couple of years before i started, Will Ferrell worked at my branch as a teller!
you have to kiss up the big money. the bank is stupid like that (surprising how some bank managers don’t understand that). that’s how some ppl get and stay rich, because they are cheapskates. think about all the famous people in the world… they are rich and they still don’t have to pay for half their meals and they get so many gift bags, sample clothes, and freebies, from either clients, agents, or sales reps.
Yeah, he’s cheap. And probably so spoiled that he’s used to getting what he wants. Ugh. You should buy him red pockets with Hello Kitty on them or something.
oooh… i want straight hair!!!!!! i might research this further
