"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."

English Translation for my previous post

LOL, thousand apologies for my International Reader.

Thank you Micky for your asking!

Last two weeks ago i was assigned by ECB for special tasks! Going around the world and selling Bonds to bail out unprecedented debts crisis! huhuhhuh

My first stop was Doha,Qatar. Meeting Middle East rich and famous is always a doom for me, Thee requests for meeting at night time and only TWO Eyes Meeting at his so call Mansion!

Hence my previous working experience was with The Sheikh of Dub**, I have no problem to communicate in Arabic language! and my dear Hubby said

Oh! these are reasons why "thee" send me for special task. lol! Hubby is not following me, for his cancer treatment is still on going and he insisted me to take this opportunity and take a little time out for a while and get a fresh air! Sounds crazy but I must admit, I do need that! and Dear Hubby need his own sweet time as well!

Ok lets continue, So meeting the Bloody Middle East was held only during night time, so we have plenty of time to enjoy ourselves with desert cruise *i feel so like Sex and the City Theme* and shopping like a crazy person *yeah like one of the so call first lady from South East Asia Country!* awwwwwwwwwww bitch me darhling!

and we took a Jet to Beijing-Shanghai for another merry go around kinda trip, but we are wayyyyy too tired for shopping or planning to climb up the Great Wall of China! bloody hell, 2-3 of my staffs get stomach ache! and we have only few days before leaving to Tokyo!

Chinese hospitality is very top and above, being a vegetarian is not a difficult for me and being a Muslim so far is convenient both! I give A+ for China! for their generous hospitalities. ok ! my Mandarin is not bad, after all I am half Chinese. Thanks to my late mommy's.

Japanese in another hand was very stringent (as usual) and I must remember to be on time (not that I never been on time) and all the traditional rules and bla bla bla! talking about money is seem very easy to compare with either Chinese or Middle Eastern!

For now I am in Paris for finalizing how much money we have get through from sorta donation+bonds or whatever you want to call it! cant tell sorry! but worth the trip and we have not spend so much on accommodation and entertainment thou! heheheheh

Our paper for Norway visa's has been approved and depending on my Dear Hubby recovery, we will go back home in May (after his treatment) and Continue my routine from Kristiansand-Brussels for money! gosh i have sign up 2 years contract with EU.. huhuhuh

Upacara ke Tokyo sangat padat, korang tahulah jepon kan very de str8 minded, lagi lagi bab duit! tak kuasa aku!

Kami sekarang di Paris selepas upacara G20 dan dok sibuk kira berapa banyak pelaburan yang dibawa masuk! sorry lah tak boleh bagitahu!

yang pasti mek puas sebab kami belanja jalan jalan minta derma tak sampai ratus ribu euro, tapi bawa masuk 7 figure ok! so terpaksalah mek pula belanja vacation light light untuk staff mek yang bekerja macam orang gila!

An Evening in Beijing!

I was invited for a lecture series in Tsinghua University- INSEAD MBA program in Beijing. Being an Alumni of INSEAD EMBA, I need to fulfil my dear Prof requests. My audience is expecting something from my past experience and current position in ECB.

Lucky me.

My topic "Economics outlook; past,present & future!"

I start with " Remember the First Laws of Economics ? For every economists, there is an equal and opposite economists" and i continue,

So for every bullish economists, there is a bearish one!" at this point some people are either laughing or puzzle! if only they ever heard so! an i continue

and The Second Laws of Economics, They are both likely to be wrong! the entire flock laughing continuously.. lol

Economics is dynamics and not static! and both might be wrong! ding dong they are laughing again! i pause and continue ,

so what are we learning in economics? i can hear everybody keep on suggesting to their partner!

Ask yourself! why do we need a car? what is the purpose of having car or any vehicle! then i praise China for their people still bike to work and elsewhere! (yeah you need to do a little praises here, you never knows with these communists)

So we discuss with merely 80 no of participants; what is nationalisation vs privatisation? open and close economics! dynamics and static! pros and cons!

It is not my talks i must say! it is interesting and yet informative and i've got to learn something newly and refreshing ideas!

Don't get urself confuse, its only a sparkling grape.cheer

Yeah! i know i am looking terribly old lately! hears hears! lets toast!

Next i am jetting to Tokyo, Japan, meeting another investors! oooohhhh
I can't tell tales my mission!
So far, since last week i was in Doha, Shanghai & Beijing
next Tokyo.
next........?

Hubby I missed you terribly! love you!

What the Europeans Know About Toilet Hygiene That Americans Don't

To most continental Europeans, not having a bidet in their bathroom is unthinkable and even considered uncivilized. Maybe it’s time Americans put all this behind and concentrated on ways to promote the best hygiene in their bathrooms.

attached toilet bidet

Here are some other potential reasons why Americans (and others) may not use a bidet in their bathrooms…

Too expensive…

Takes up too much space and difficult to install…

Impractical to use for both bowel and genital hygiene

Bidets have been around for over 250 years offering excellent personal hygiene. And the last 50 years have seen a revolution in their form and function.

So, why don’t bidets grace more American bathrooms?


This is a bit perplexing. But it may have something to do with simple social denial.

For people suffering from different kinds of bowel conditions, a bidet can also potentially offer some relief… by allowing you to avoid irritating toilet paper. Here are a few examples…

Crohn’s

Ulcerative colitis

Constipation

Hemorrhoids

Diarrhea

A bidet can potentially provide some relief from these conditions by helping you avoid the use of toilet paper.

If you ever been to any Asian country, you will find yourself with a useful bidet - a pipe hose attached in every bathroom.

Safe money, safe trees, be hygiene , practical and yet environmental friendly
