For the sake of better complexion...

Sunday, March 30, 2008

Ever since Christmas, I've been drinking bird's nest. Supposedly it is very good for skin complexion.

And I especially need it ever since out of nowhere the old nose piercing site just flared up (after my itchy hands squeezed it, of course).

But the ones from Christmas didn't last till now, despite me drinking it on an irregular basis. Once a week, to twice a week etc. Anyway it's already March.

So I decided to go down to the shop and purchase more bird's nest.

The lady at the shop was very helpful bordering over the line of being extremely nosey. She asked what was it for.. as in.. for health, for aches or pains, or for complexion..

I said it was for the skin, and she recommended this thing called Hasma with Rock Sugar.

I started the first bottle last night and guess what.. It tastes weird. Sort of had a fishy smell to it. But otherwise, the rock sugar that it was boiled with made it tastes extremely edible.

So just what on earth is Hasma...??

I promptly went to search online for it.



And.. wished I didn't.....



Hasma.. apparently.. is.. the dried fallopian tubes of a kind of frog (Asiatic Grass Frog).

YUCKS.

Welcome To The Weekend

Saturday, March 29, 2008

This is the part of the week where we all just lean back, throw the towel aside, and REST.

Howver, when you throw the towel, make sure you throw properly and it doesn't hit anyone.. in particular.. Kilo...
















Remember the ugly CJ7 I recently bought? I've added another one to the collection. It's a mini-me version of CJ7. And it has a cuter mouth.

There is ANOTHER one though, that I haven't took a photo of. It's the 'messy-hair' version. I'm still trying to find the dead version though. It's damn cute with the X X eyes... haha!!

And if you kinda pay attention to the surroundings... You start to realise that when you enter the workforce (for those of you that haven't).. It's damn easy to put on weight!!!! What with the availability of food, lunch, high tea, dessert and sometimes great customers who actually make food for you!!! I was extremely touched by a certain customer who actually did a chocolate cake for one of our Sups, and he brought it back to share with all of us.

I mean, sure it wasn't meant for us, it was more like meant for that supervisor, but it was such a sweet thing to do! How many of you EVER, had customers who actually make chocolate cakes for you?

It was a huge one, too. The entire department got to eat it. And it was smeared with thick rich chocolate, and was full of.. nothing.. but chocolate. The top was covered with a layer of chocolate. The middle was chocolate-flavoured sponge cake to hold everything together, and in-between those spongey layers were melty creamy chocolate sort of like Nutella soft.

Wow. That's a horrible description of a cake. Well, at least to those of you out there who HATE chocolate (I will never understand why!).

In this world, we need more appreciative customers like that.

And next.. there is a new addition at work. Finally, not in terms of new employees, but a new cool-looking Plasma TV. Is it Plasma or LCD? Whatever!!!


It's cool in the sense that we get to display alot of information such as Happy Birthday who and who... Interview candidates to go which level to look for who.. etc etc etc.

I loved the idea. It was supposed to be implemented in early 2007 but everything sort of died until the new management came in and decided to go ahead with it no matter what.

I also read in the papers that people are not afraid of changes in their workplace, only if the changes are beneficial.

Now this is one positive change!!

Damnation to Dog Ticks!!

Sunday, March 23, 2008

I had a tick problem for the longest time.

Yayyyy! I'm starting to change already! I always call it dog fleas and end up being laughed at by the whole world (actually, just the people at work). Because it's called CAT fleas.. and DOG TICKS.

The word 'tick' is so much easier to pronounce and yet I keep mentioning the more difficult 'flea' word.

Anyway I had a dog tick problem. For a blardy long time. It didn't get too bad cos had been using this ultra effective tick wash. But then again, that was only applied on the dogs once a week when they bathed.

And we didn't dare to use a strong dosage on Chubby for fear that he might just collapse and die or something(maybe that would be physically and emotionally easier than having to bring him to the vet to be put down to sleep when the time comes).

So Didi sleeps with the maids. Kilo sleeps with the cars. But Chubby sleeps with me!! So in a way I am most at risk here.

So I decided to get Frontline, as per vet's recommendation. Used the pippette treatment on Kilo. It's kind of like a little one-time treatment thing that you pour between his back shoulder blades (so that the dog can't lick it off).

If your dog is ultra-flexible, don't worry, he won't die. He'd just end up salivating more only, and of course, decreasing the treatment effectiveness since he licked it off.
I could never figure out how it works. Especially when I found out the main active ingredient of this pipette actually contain a chemical we use to kill termites. HAHAHAHA.. Talk about the benefits of working in pest control eh?

But the fact that some chemical applied near the back of the neck of the dog could actually kill fleas throughout it. Ordinarily I wouldn't have bought such a thing. But my Dad had, and I could never forget it.

Somehow the chemical must have worked through osmosis or something because it must have went through Kilo's skin and into his blood stream. Because over the course of the next few days, dead ticks (and they look quite awful, I must add. Like they were poisoned or had been dead for a long time) started dropping off Kilo.

Those left behind were already dead but just 'stuck' to the dog's skin so all you had to do was to gently touch it and the dead tick will crumble into pieces. Yes. Really crumble. Like for example, the legs would all fall off from the body etc.

Gee. I really hope you haven't eat yet.

I bought the spray version for the two old man, Didi and Chubby (and for economical reasons too), and spent a total of $80.80 on the tick items, as well as, of course, a bone each to reward them for having ticks. HAHAHA.. Yea right.


Anyway I sprayed my entire room last night, and entire dog. Chubby HATES this kind of spray and as a result, kept hiding under the bed. Thankfully, I can crawl under my bed.

HAHAHA.. What a sight. Now I think I not only need tick spray, I need baygon too for all the spiders under my bed *roll eyes*

PS: Woke up this morning and there were a total of 5 dead ticks on the floor. GO FRONTLINE!! *Muackz!*

DREAM SHOES

Friday, March 21, 2008

Drroooolllllzzzz...

BUT.. I still need a bag. And I WILL BLARDY GET IT. Even if I have to...wait for mid-April.. for their new stocks to come in.

That aside, the news report in Urban also stated that it is predicted in the near future that women will own lesser pairs of shoes!!!... But, each pair is going to be more expensive.

I personally think it is a good thing. Singapore does not even have alot of land in the first place, so we shouldn't waste precious land area on shoe cabinets to pile up your shoes.

Plus, expensive shoes usually means that it is a GOOD pair of shoes. I said USUALLY. Not all the time. And really, a very important thing is that shoes must be comfortable. No point spending $19.90 on a damn good looking pair of shoes that only gives you blisters, and then the glue comes off once you get caught in the rain.

And also yesterday we went to CHIJMES at Sun & Moon. I officially declare that I had one of the best cakes in my life there. Not sold by Sun & Moon. It's a ice cream cake from .. I can't remember the shop name. I can only recall that it is a certain cake shop at Holland V.



It's an ice cream cake. Made up of flavours like Vanila, Cookies and Cream, and Peppermint.

And the theme of the cake was heartssssss...

Everything about the cake was hearts. Except for the chocolate biscuit balls and silver balls surrounding it because those were round. The cake was heart-shaped. And so were the little sprinkles of coloured sugar on it.

And finally, not forgetting, the heart from the guy to the girl. Even today, when they call him by name, I absentedly ask: Who is that? .. Then they tell me "CH lah!" and I'd say : "Orrrhhhh.. Milo just say Milo lah.. call him what *insert his real name here*"

See, I can't remember his name!!

I was extremely fascinated by the hearts. It was so tiny and cute. I really had to upload a few pictures to share with all of you. It was then that I really thank anyone and everyone involved in the creation of the Nokia 6510 (slide). Please tell me that I got the phone model correct. Wow, never would I be able to imagine I can actually have trouble recalling the model of the handphone I'm using. See peepz? I've grown up and I don't change my handphone ever 2 months anymore. I change them every 8 months.

Seriously speaking, I've been using this phone since I think around mid-October? It's a record!!

Another good thing about the Nokia 6510 Slide is that it has auto-focus for very close-taken objects. As a result, I am pleased to share with all of you the very nice little heart-shaped sprinkles on the cake. I didn't realise they were heart-shape until I was about to gobble the whole thing up.

The lighting isn't perfect, but it doesn't take a pro to know that turning on a hp-camera flash with such a close-up will result in a total-flash out. Like a flash bomb, if you know what I mean. Gawd I hate flash-bombs. Counterstrike. Those were the short-lived days. Haha. Oh by the way I heard Ling is coming back from Australia already!!






Shocking indeed, for he was there less than what? 2 months? Hahaha! (Luckily didn't manage to wake up in time to send him off). I hope he doesn't read this.

Actually, my camera is being extremely well-behaved. So I would like to upload a few more photos :)

Here's a picture of Chwee Chwee. A softoy that I got for an even bigger Rodent, Mr. Des Lim, for tirelessly always being there whenever I need to exert some stress and bash someone up, or need to have someone around to bully for the sake of reminding myself that I am the luckiest girl in the world. Great life. Great family. Great school. Great friends. Great colleagues. But a not-so-greatly paid job (ya. Des has to remind me about it too).



Actually, Chwee Chwee really really really looks like Desmond. Because when Des smiles his eyes are like that also. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA.. Okay. Thank gawd the guy has limited internet access (and is also too lazy to read my blog). Wait, I don't think he can even remember the blog address!!!!



Speaking of Des, one day while going home from work, we chanced upon a really cute car decal. Anyone knows where to buy? I didn't really dare to lean forward and take a clear photo because Des says it will super ultra boost the ego of the driver to see a girl taking photo of his car.



It's really tough trying to take a photo discreetly and pretending to SMS. In the end, this lousy photo was taken:










I know you can't tell what the plain and simple decal reads so I am going to type it out in huge words here:



I AM STOCK. Don't jio me!


Cute huh?

HAHAHAHA..! Downright cute!! I thought of pasting it on Alvin because Alvin is truly stocked. But then again, I was reminded that I don't like Alvin that much. Not as much as Candy though. Gosh.. I miss Candy :(

And yes, the photo was taken on a Friday. I was afraid that the crystal babies might dry up over the weekend at the office so I took them home. And here they are, right beside my lappie as I type. In fact, Qian Jing the 2nd looks at it angrily everyday!

Talking about her, I've got to share with you that if you have love to spare and want a pet but you don't know what to keep, why not get a fighting fish? It's the lowest maintenance living thing I've ever known.

But really, please for its sake, get a reasonable tank for it. I've seen those fanciful little containers that are oh-so-cute but oh-so-inhumane for fighting fishes to be kept in.Get one that is big. Preferably something like mine (I uploaded the photo a few blog posts ago). It is the fighting fish equivilant of a human living in a small-sized bungalow all by themselves. Very spacious.

Should you be interested the tank I bought costs only $15. Comes with ornamental stones, THREE oramental stones to be exact.. and a packet of sand that I recommend you NOT to use because it makes tank cleaning such a chore. It also comes with a packet of sample betta food (in case you were so excited that you buy a fish and a tank and forgot to buy everything else), as well as a bottle of anti-chlorine.

I don't know so much about chlorine and fishes but fighting fishes are one tough piece of sh*t. Qian Jing lived for a long time and all the while I did not use any anti-chlorine for her water at all.

Yes. All that. In a tank.

And it's a very nice tank. Comes in black too, that I felt was ultra cool. I would have bought it if they had nicer fighting fishes.

Yes. Their crown fighting fish costs a mere $1.50. Try to get one that is small-sized or has very rich colouring because the last two fishes I had became very light-coloured as they aged, especially towards the end of their lives.

I remembered how much I cried when Qian Jing died. I was so upset I tell you. I just held her in my hands and cried and cried and cried and crieddddddddddddddddd... (Ok guys, this one consider pour my heart out or not?). In fact, thinking about it, I still feel sad :(

Which was partly why I bought Qian Jing the Second because she has almost the same colour as Qian Jing himself. I can imagine Qian Jing, now in that big fish pond in the sky, mumbling something really vulgar because I actually gave him such a sissy name.

Blog Post? On a Weekday night?!

Wednesday, March 19, 2008

You know I'm supposed to be doing something more urgent (e.g. International Marketing Proj) when I'm blogging online at such a time.

In today's world of unrest and escaping JI leaders... Thankfully there's always good ol' home.. and blogging.

I don't know about the police but maybe they should maybe raid all those huge landed empty houses where no one is staying because my gut feel tells me he is inside one of it.

Of course, I don't know how and where they are going to get the paperwork done to trespass on all those private property.

That aside, my friend had recently emailed me a photo of Jay Chou's daughter. It is meant as a joke, of course. Wow. Come to think of it, whoever is Jay Chou's kid will really grow up feeling pressured what with all the talent his/her Dad has.








Cute, huh?

Crystal Babies

Sunday, March 16, 2008

How can I forgot to mention the latest craze hitting my office right now?

Crystal Babies!!

Ya. Kiddy stuff that you can find from those tikam tikam machines, especially situated outside 7-eleven stores. I can't believe it that a thing belonging to my childhood days are still able to attract me, haha!

We are used to mourning the lost of so many things. Cricketts chewing gum and the bubble gum brand that has the Felix-The-Cat lookalike. Take off the wrapper and you can put a tattoo on yourself while chewing on the super delicious bubble gum.

Or what about the days were you can buy that 20 cents each Pipi (or is it Pee Pee) sweet, definitely not named by a Westerner; Some type of corn snack that is coated with chilli powder (and lots of salt as well, come to think of it).

But we are never glad for the tikam tikam machines that have always been there for us, through thick and thin. Well, of course there are people who buy from tikam machines still (e.g. those located at Suntec and selling Sky High prices for Jap-anime related figurines), but I'm referring to the classic old ones that are in red. Our first encounter with it usually being photo-cards of HK idols and Dragonball Z cards.

Whoa, I really talk alot these few days hor.

Anyway, thing is, I bought crystal babies from one of these tikam machines too. I wanted to at first, much to Joanna's surprise, but then held back because I felt what if it was those kind of things made of chemicals and all and are even far too poisonous too touch.

Up until a division of ours moved under the same roof that I saw an ex-colleague (long story) rearing it in a little container.

I was wow-ed by its beauty and that very weekend, went to find it. Weirdly enough, I bought it at Autobacs, that car mega-shop at Bukit Batok area. Who would have thought.

But that boring selection came only in one colour for each $1 you roll in and turn. And of all colours, I spent $2 and got a blardy stupid transparent looking one (if you fill the bowl with water you won't even be able to see it!!) and one that is not-so-bad-looking orange (but I hate orange).

And did I mention that the crystals were already 'grown up'. You will see what I mean as you read on.

As fate would have had it, a few days later I chanced upon one that sells it in multi-colours for each ball. The quantity looked pathetic for each $1 capsule though but I was thinking at least it is multi-coloured!!

I decided to purchase it again. (Subsequently, the girls at office whom I had shared the Autobacs one with decided to dump the old orange/transparent one on Des' office table, needless to say, resulting in him being teased mercilessly by the older colleagues at work.)

We reared this multi-coloured one instead and it looked something like this.














Yes. The container is blardy clean and nice too. It's actually a feeding bowl for hamsters but I bought it. At a mere $1. Surprisingly, I walked around and discovered another shop selling it at $2. That's double-freaking the price!!! For the record, the shops were also quite close to each other too.

Not only that, the one that was priced at $2 was also badly scratched and dirty as if it had been used before by hamsters already.

I don't think I want to buy anything from that shop again (I had always been buying Joon's food from them).

Ok back to the crystal babies.

All you had to do was to cover them totally in water and they would balloon up, similar to the ones I talked about in Autobacs.

I poured in the water at approx 9.00am after reaching work and settling down and doing a few urgent stuff.

By 11.30am, this was how it looked like:






If you noticed, I also have a super huge transparent one that is my pride and joy. Yes I know it's disgustingly transparent but then it's huge! I'd do a cover on it another day, hahaha!!

But yes, those I bought at Autobacs were already big like that, and they were all of the same standard size. How boring.

This one is not only multi-coloured, they're different sizes too.

Just in case you were wondering what would happen if we squashed them. Well. Nothing. They just break and become not round. Just like agar agar if you pry them apart. Which doesn't make sense so don't ask me stupid things like if you can do it!!

I do a headcount everyday and I have 25 crystal babies.

Oh, did I forget to mention, they reproduce as well and not all at one go. Over a period of time they will slowly increase in numbers. That's what makes them different from those they sell at nursery for rearing money plants or other indoor species.

I will update if I see any of them 'in love' (yup, they stick together like two kissing balls.. HAHAHAHA.. Ok, no offence intended).. which is a sign that they are going to produce alot of little baby .. BABY crystals.

Mission Cannot-Possibly-Fail

Saturday, March 15, 2008

This is from one of the funniest episodes of South Park.

No. Wait a minute. Every single episode of South Park is funny!..

But here's to share with you a short snippet anyway...



Wtf. It's only 8am?! On a Saturday morning!!!!! What's wrong with me?

Anyway I also found an interesting newspaper report to share with everyone:





I have alot I want to write all the time, but then it's like when I really sit myself in front of the computer, all I want to do is do some internet shopping at the same old usual sites to see if they had any uploads. Damn this internet shopping thing.. it's so convenient that it's getting addictive.

Unless I super like that piece of clothing, I don't see myself buying clothes in the near future. Ever.

I think all this is also because (as my mother has also claimed) unlike alot of people, I don't pour my heart out on my blog. I don't see the point because sometimes certain problems are very private and I don't really like any of you to know (yes, even if you are my mother!).

But let me state abit of my point of view here today in this normal looking post.

I am disgusted with the real world ever since I entered it. The different people I meet and etc makes me disgusted with adults.

I told my TTG colleagues once I used to have this stupid assumption that I will have problems interacting with people who are estimated 3 years or more older than me. I feel like there is this imaginery generation gap between me and older people. I don't feel like ANYONE who is three years or older could ever find me as a good friend or a close confidante.

Now, I'm 22 this year, and I work with people who are even well into their fifties. I find that the silly problem I thought I had does not exist!

But in an unexpected twist, I am disgusted. They used to say don't go into the advertising line because it is bitchy and unless you are ready to take it. I beg to differ. I guess maybe people were more..straightforwrdly bitchy there. I think everywhere there is this sort of politics no matter where you work at (heck, even in the government sector!!).

I see scheming people, and people who are so not who they APPEAR to be. I dare say it now that looks are very deceiving. The guy you thought was Mr. Perfect may actually be sleeping around with prostitutes. And can you imagine it is a guy I actually told my good friends: Next time I'm looking for a husband, I will go for this type of guy!

I'm not saying these people are working in my company. They maybe working closely with my company or were related to me by the experiences encountered by my close friends who are also working already so don't go ahead and jump into conclusions.

And then the weirdest part was how sometimes little things you do get superbly misinterpreted.

Yea. Adults in general are really good at it. If they give you a bar of chocolate and you purely accidentally drop it, they will jump onto it and said "Cindy is disrespecting me. She doesn't even want that chocolate!"

Another example... if I were to ask A, B, and C out, and I forgot to ask D, D will get very mega-pissed with me.

Do you know if we were a bunch of 7 year old kids, D will come over and tell me : "Oei, you forgot to ask me! Can I go?"

That's right. I feel that kids are even more mature than adults in some (in fact, many) ways.

But in reality, Adult D will sit at one corner and sulk his/ her head off. And then when E, F and G walks past, D will go bitch to them and say "Cindy never ask me out. So disrespectful."

WTF is that!?

Give.Me.A.Break.

I'm gonna get a kitkat. Yes. Please.

Wat the...

Sunday, March 09, 2008

THE BAG. I WANTED. WAS SOLD. OUT. AGAIN. Excuse me but I think this is one of the rare situation to say this word.... NB!

I spent almost the entire day at Autobacs today. The waiting room became my second home.

I would like to highlight to females out there who have their own car and don't already know.. there is an up and coming brand of car decor called Junction Produce. JP for short. I believe JP was previously doing car parts but have moved on to concentrate a little more on car accessories. Bling bling accessories.. Say Ooh La La....

Throughout the day, I have seen at least 3 different cars sticking on that brand name on the top part of their windscreen. They put a layer of black across the upper part of the windscreen, and then stick the words Junction Produce in white along it.






JP must have been one of the pioneering brands to introduce the use of Swarovski crystals to be integrated as part of the growing car accessory possibilities.

If you think putting Swarovski crystals on your fingernails are stupid, wait till you see the way they put them on the cars. I doubt Singaporeans do that (yet).

But the 'examples' I've seen on the packaging of the crystal studs illustrated that these studs are intended for use in places such as CAR RIMS...

What a great idea to entice people to scratch your car rims in the process of trying to pry the crystal out!

They're not THAT expensive to warrant people to do that, but you know there are some forms of thefts called PETTY thefts you know...

After seeing their website <--Click here.. I'm starting to think they only do mods for Lexus?

Save Me From This....

SHOPPING SPREE...

Help. I am counting down. Right now there is 17 more days to Pay Day.

And about a month ago I fell in love with a Gucci bag.

This has NEVER happened before. I admit there are branded bags that I like once in a while.. but I would never go to the point of actually purchasing it *roll eyes, so expensive leh! Not like I'm earning 15k a month or what.. soon lah.. soon.. HAHAH*

All this until one day, a stupid Burberry bag caught my eye.

I decided.. not to buy it. The typical girl would have waited for the Great Singapore Sale. But... it was a DFS exclusive. Damn I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

Within 2 months after falling in love, the bag disappeared from sight. It was ultra regret for me. But then again, I know I'm an exact $625 cheaper because I didn't buy that bag.

Up until another bag caught my eye at Gucci. Dad has expressed that he did not think that brand was as hardy as an LV, but heck I'm going to try it anyway despite the fact that I almost ALWAYS listen to my dad.

Come to think of it, the only time I didn't really listen to him was to heed his subtle hint of going to Singapore Polytechnic. I did, however, place it as my first or second choice. I didn't manage to get in, quite obviously, but no regrets when I looked back. TP Marketing rocks my socks!!!

Ok ok, where was I...

Ya, I am going to get that bag later! As a result I hope that over the course of the next few weeks, please do not jio me out, or show me any of your online shopping spree. I am going to be waaay broke.

BTW, here's a fighting fish I bought recently. It's kinda stupid though, I bought it because the tank is nice. It was like, I saw the tank, I took the tank, and then I walked around the entire fish shop searching for a suitable fish to place in it.

Ta daaaa.. what is better and easier to keep than a fighting fish!! ;)

Yay New Blog Skin

Saturday, March 08, 2008

My aim is to put in more photos, so much that the slideshow will never run out.

If you noticed, the above slideshow will run out after displaying everything.

You can get it done at Slide.com. It is another super convenient yet free service :)

Gosh I love the internet.

Today is a wonderful Saturday.

I woke up, and decided to take pics of my new additions to the fish tank.

I bought a cheap $2 ulu chapalang fish that is spotted (I think I have a soft spot for fishes that has spots), and also a very cool-looking Frontosa fish, whose photo I will upload.

I woke up and immediately took a photo of the Frontosa.

It is an awesome-looking fish. It's the 'in' fish after the Luohan craze, although Frontosas never got as popular a following as the Luohan and Aerowana fishes back in those days.

I once bought a Frontosa. It costed me 12 dollars. The next morning when I woke up, it had already landed outside the tank, dried up and dead. I was half-afraid that it will not be the end. You know how sometimes when fishes die like that? They get so dried up their 'skin' sticks to the floor till you have to scrap it.

As if disappointment wasn't enough, I had to clear its dead corpse, thankfully, without having to scrap anything off the floor.

People I told this story too often tried to convince me that Cherry drove it to madness and forced it out of the tank.

HA. HA. Cherry is only like that if you try to be funny with him... with her... with it.

I love Cherry puppy wudgey pudgey. She's damn cute. But.. eh.. before I forget, I better upload the Frontosa's pic:





Its body is black-and-white striped, although its fins and certain parts of it come with a tinge of blue. The uncle from a fish-shop at Serangoon North (where I bought Cherry), told us that black-and-white Frontosa is the cheapest colour. That clearly explains why I bought this for only $5 since it was still a baby. The most expensive ones come with a blue-and-white colouring.

Maybe when it grows up it will turn blue? Haha, fat hope!

Cherry was super duper stressed when I placed the Frontosa and the spotted cichlid fish into her tank.

My mono saber fish (the one that looks like a pomfret) couldn't be bothered. For its part, it has seen alot of new fish come and go. Anyway, my mono is huge now. It's weird how when you buy, let's say a few fishes, the one you LEAST LIKED was always the one that end up living the longest.

I guess that's life.

I started shopping like a crazy idiot on the internet. I buy basically everything I can on the internet. Tops, jackets, cutesy little handphone straps, handphone ding-danglys. The thing is, some of them have to be shipped from Japan. The total wait them is MINIMUM one month.

I countdown everyday to the day where I will receive the items.

One of the items that took less than one month... was a CJ7 softoy!!!












Yes. It's the alien from the Stephen Chow show. It's sitting proudly on my office table now, among a trillion other softoys that I had brought to the office as well. I remembered the first day I displayed it there, there were actually colleagues who. commented: OEI... THAT'S A CUTE DOG!

I turned around and said "Where?!"

Shopping online definitely has its edge as well. Especialy when you are shopping online at auctions. I got this a mere 2 days after the auction closed:






It's Ryuk, the Shimigami from Death Note. Yes. The apple-loving one. Unfortunately the more I looked at it, the more Ryuk looked like he is wearing goggles, when actually his eyes were supposed to be HUGE and frightening. Haha...

I'm super irritated because these days, there is this insect biting me. I'm quite sure it's not a Mosquitoes. Heck, Mosquito bites aren't that itchy for such a long period of time. In fact, the itch is SO BAD, I get some at the sole of my feet too!

Can you believe it!! Any one needs a pedicure?

L: Change The World

No matter how gifted you are, no one alone can change the world.

By the way, here's a cute commercial featuring him:






Quite obviously, I went to watch a particular movie last night. A spin-off from Death Note, one of the coolest movie around in my selfish and narrow opinion.

Don't get me wrong; I LOVE and adore Lord of The Rings, but I was a little too slow. When all 3 movies were out and many had already recovered from the craze, it was then that I marvelled on how cool the trilogy was, and eagerly went to read the books and etc.

I wished I had watched the first movie, because then I would be yearning for the 2nd.

The feeling of waiting was really nice. Filled with anticipation and excitement.

I remembered watching Death Note 1. Then walked out of the cinema mildly pissed because I knew a Part 2 was coming AND I WANT IT NOW!

Thank goodness the wait wasn't very long. Both were released within months away from each other. L was awesome!!!
