We saw this trailer while waiting for HSM3


OMG should a fat hamster

i want to say. i think chick fic are so much easier to read and married authors seems to be more opened about sexuality.

Benedine feels like a big fat loser right now

the next sem is starting soon. like next week? which is 2 days away not including today 'cause it's already more than 1/2 a day gone? what am i going to do with my precious last weekday of my vacation? rot at home.

i was so hopping to see more people online... but they're not so ya. how ready am i for the next sem? lets see i haven't really racked my brains to remember much for the last 6 months. have been watching anime the last 4 months. i totally have no idea whether i can remember anything that was taught to me the last 2 and 1/2 years. so NO! i am totally not ready for this sem and my gpa sucks so like it will probably drop after this last sem and i think i have no future in this line anymore. SOBS.

I'm gonna miss all the anime watching that i did for this 4 months.

OMG! i got the coolest dream

i dreamt that i found the ultimate measuring cup!! like OMG! i was like i can totally use that for baking FOREVER! it was able to measure out 5ml to 4 cups omg what is it just a dream? i WANT!! ): ya it's totally a dream

i smell like beer and prawns now.

GOOD LORD you know i woke up with the weirdest dream still lingering in my mind. it was about armpit hair. shit. what kind of dream was that. anyway so i was thinking why do humans have armpit hair? so i looked it up yar. apparently armpit hair to what is logical, is a show of being an adult. it actually strains of the sweat gathering in the armpit prevent the festation of bacteria. it also help disperse pheromones that i had talked about in my previous blogs. so like hell keeping armpit hair supposedly to be good? ok to tell you the truth i can't stand looking at armpit hair. when i see armpits i will look, actually stare. my visual direction will straight away move to the armpit. hahaha sick.

then i when watching youtube of people removing armpit hair and reading the comments... some comments were like let me lick your armpit. like eww?? ok that's all of my armpit post.

and anyway, i do remove my armpit hair.

oh please let me watch house bunny and high school musical 3.

i want to watch

the nightmare before christmas and corpse bride.

right left center.

i'm feeling pretty low i wonder why either maybe it's because life isn't as rosy as i want it to be. just ignore me anyway i'll feel better soon enough it's just a pang.

my overly ripe bananas have been stolen!! /: i tot no one would touch such ripe bananas i was wrong. great.
i saw this really pretty recipe book called big fat cookies by Elinor Klivans. makes me want to bake like seriously. like every week OMG so tempting. i want nice utensils for baking new mixing bowls [1 large, 2 medium and many smalls preferbly made slightly weighty and smoothed bottom] new baking sheets, nice whisk with good grip and light, new hand held mixer and endless of good quality ingredients haha ok just saying that for fun. i love chewy cookies.

Gaia doesn't want me to exercise

anyway. i had a thought for a good post but i forgot q: yesterday was mid autumn my relatives met up and we had a mini celebration for that. my brother with his newly acclaimed driver license drove us there. so proud of him *pats my bro's imaginary back*

anyway with my friends a few days back we had this conversation. makes me hope that people don't change as they mature. but it's pretty diffcult isn't it as the passage through time most people have to change to accomodate to their life. you're not my spunky little kid anymore...

and i'm not the little tomboy who totally gets upset when people think that i'm a boy.

the only thing that i can type fast enough without looking at the keyboard is

my email address haha pathetic. omg i am such a slow typer i can't be a typist LA. anyway. i been craving for the banana chocolate mikshake that i drank the other time at hip diner usa. so i decided to make my own la so ya i made it with chocolate banana milk and ice and threw everything into the blender how diffcult is that. well it taste alright anyway. it's what happened after that. with the blender 'cause i didn't wash it straight away... like why would you wash you blender straight away anyway. i have to enjoy my milkshake first or it'll go flat. sooo... i did and then my mom came back with dinner and all and ask me what did i use the blender for and i said banana and chocolate and she said,"where got nice?" WHAT?? banana & chocolate is like totally the best matched things EVER!! i can't believe that she even said that. i'm so not happy by what she said LA. she loves doing that to me isn't it like as if i did something totally horrible. Like WHATEVER but i'm like pissed so i just totally shut up. best not to say anything as i have to respect my mom and she always make me wanna go off the border to being rude. she has that streak of being dominant you see so ya you can't pour oil to fire you just have to let it burn out or she'll probably spit at you [not literally]. so now i'm totally thinking about making something that my mom would like and that's cookies and add banana and chocolate together and show her that it tastes good.

so i'm finding banana cookies recipe now. and why do they like adding cinnamon, nutmeg and oats to the cookies /:

ok i'm going with this

CHOCOLATE BANANA NUT COOKIES

3 lg. very ripe bananas
2 sq. unsweetened chocolate
1 c. chopped nuts
2 eggs
1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
3 c. flour
1 1/2 tbsp. baking powder

Combine first 3 ingredients; set aside. Cream next 3 ingredients well. Add flour and baking soda to egg mix, blending well. Drop by teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-13 minutes until done at 350 degrees.

i wonder when i drink that bottle that i brought back from Australia. it's just laying there collecting dust. and maybe lizards' dump.

king kong isn't so great on tv though the tv at home is pretty big but it sucks so hell.

so i was just so bored again today after attempting to run 6 rounds around a average stadium track which i only ran 2 rounds and walk and run and walked an extra round so to make myself less guilty. i watched animations again. i'm really a crybaby isn't it i cried watching the avatar last airbender /: pathetic... i meant me. i actually like that show.

and i went clicking around on the internet. and i just got this thought most of the asian women who i've seen that are either married or dating europeans long enough, bleached their hair blond. so as to match their counterparts? well i don't know. i wonder why actually. what's their reason i want to know. is love making them wanting have the same hair color? oh well whatever. anyway i've got this thought if i ever grew to be see 50 years pass me by i will let my white hair grow out and dye like blue-black those that when you take out a strand and see it against light you see that blue. then i am like if my hair does remain as a fluff i'll look like cotton candy /: so ya... i just pondering.

and like i can't wait for tomorrow 'cause i will be out of the house and going to the east for changi airport to walk there 'cause i just wanna see how terminal 3 looks like.

the fish in the pot

Hello!!
as you can totally see this is my second post of the week. which totally means that i am a very bored person right now. makes me want to go back to school already. then again i'm totally not ready for last semester of my poly life [provided that i don't fail anything and i do get enough points for graduation??? /:]

the construction from my neighbour is really getting really painful. for my brain cells i'm not a person who likes noise. lately i have to listen to music before i can go to sleep?? i have no idea why either. maybe i'm paranoid of something which i don't know and feel.

let's have a question: have you ever imagine if you were the opposite sex? what kind of life do you think you will have?

i think i would be a very hyperactive person and probably get into alot of trouble. then again maybe i be a super geek. hmm... yet again if i was the opposite sex then everyone else would be the opposite sex too like my sis will become my bro and all that. maybe i wouldn't even be in this family altogether. ok...

oh look! screws on the floor...

oh look there's another one.

OMG! i been watching anime like mad. yesterday i watched 21 episodes. that was from 10am to 6 something pm. even decided what to eat because i was hungry midway but totally gave up eating hahaha my head like hurt mad after that. anyway it's a really good anime. Aishiteru ze Baby... very cute, and funny. go watch if you're as bored and if you have not watched it yet.
i'm gonna finish it like today.

i have been on vacation for 1 and almost half weeks now. what i've been doing is watch anime like a totally obsess anime person. but i did go out so i can't say that i'm totally in that state yet.

have a conversation with yourself. it funnn

hello! ok i can't get anymore creative than that.

well well well, last week was the last of my attachment. it's been great well mostly. it would have been perfect. but oh well i really do consider myself lucky already. having such a cute supervisior and all XD.

the last day of my attachment they told me not to cry. well i didn't i was too happy, not because i was leaving and all that. we had a great time the whole day i didn't even do any work. eeps X: they actually even bothered to get me presents. they got me an unedible bread!! so squishy and all... many packs of origami papers('cause i was folding origami most of the time there X: hahaha! OMG! i'm letting it out of the bag all those hours of slacking there.) and a 16" mickey! *jajajaja* AND NOT FORGETTING!!! a sketch book of the pictures i've have been taking and well wishes from the department i was working in *SO SWEET* HAHAHAHA (watch as my head gets bigger)

and then, we(the department, bobo and some others) had lunch altogether and dinner at a japanese restaurant. (the mickey i carried around even taking the public transport and walking in city hall.)

then we watch the fireworks together. AW.. i'm so gonna miss them all. it's so sad that they can't use msn messenger during working hours.

i did cry eventually the day after. so well nobody saw it q:

OMG. it's like i love watching those magical girl anime la. S: darn. feel really lame actually but i'm still watching hahaha.

HAPPY

NATIONAL

DAY

OMG! my mom can see that i grew fatter! D:

YES this is very very bad. very bad. i can also feel that i'm wider. my self-assurance is lowering. ok nvm about that i'm gonna do something about it soon.

anyway, i here to say some random stuff.

first of all i totally missed out on GSS. /: and i so wanted to buy some nice dresses or something.

then i tot i would fail my napfa but didn't, got instead silver sadly not gold.

then i want to start a column for the books i read. i think it's be a great thing for me to see what i have read. and it would totally make me read more. [i shall start from the last 2 books i read.]

i want to buy makeup and be more vain

and last evening when i was getting home i was most shocked. i saw a sanitary pad stuck on the busstop sign. /: what on Earth was that about.

ok done.

i'm highly superficial.

subservientchicken.com/ order the chicken around if your too bored.

what have i been doing lately

lately... i just too lazy to update actually. days just become weeks and then it just seem there's nothing much in my life to talk about. well, i have gone out the last 2 fridays. it is week 3 of my fyp and i think is quite alright.

eh... ok i don't think i like writing posts today. just contented with what there is right now. totally took uber fugly pictures of myself yesterday.

nostradamus

well, nothing about him actually. actually don't bother reading this post altogether. i was watching the documentary about him predicting the future and all that. Then i suddenly remembered about the blogger's scheduled time thingie and wanted to try it out. now is monday 15th of april 8 closing to 9.

shoo little fly shoo

hmm i was watching this show that my mother wanted to watch and i learnt something! Thiamine. also known as Vitamin B1 which is a rather important vitamin is actually a mosquito repellent. hahaha omg i really didn't know. well pregnant mosquito. those are the ones that bite you anyway. it means that we should eat more wheat germs cereals 'cause they are really high in vitamin b1 /: i don't know where there's wheatgerm cereals in Singapore though. i believe not many asian taken wheat germs actually.

Sony HD handycam's tv commercial

omg! isn't this commercial the cutest? it tells me that kids are the darnest things sometimes you don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I love that little tune that comes with it too. it said that the song is specially made for the commercial D:[sony should just make that into a single i'm sure quite a number of people would buy it haha X:] the song is supposedly called "language of the kingdom of children" by abu nabu kabuni[reading that name out loud sounds a little comical (:]? i'm not very sure about it but why don't we just enjoy this.

hmm... i keep getting random injuries, the skin on my hands is peeling. and i just tripped and almost slide the whole flight of stairs. somehow, i didn't get hurt maybe i'll get bruises by sliding on the stairs sitting. for a moment i tot i would dislocate my right shoulder or something. lucky for me that my joints were able to support my weight. haha! sorry, i'm just really shock about the incident. i must be more careful on slippery stairs bad habit of just walking down on the tip each stair.

sitting on wooden chairs

oh yea. hello i'm here to post for the week. my life is a very boring life so boring life equals boring things and a boring post. i totally entertain myself by laughing even by myself.

we ate crab beehoon in a pie shop.
ate ben and jerry's just because i said i was craving for it.
stone.
cut myself.
ate macs in lab
cook.
be random.
not use the computer for 2 days.
watched iron man.
bake.
eat.
sleep go toilet brush teeth etc...

and finally i made my concession card in my 3rd year.

my phone is a little screwed...

random pictures taken with the phone

suddenly knowing less about others doesn't seem so bad actually.

alright man! another email spam

how great another spamming to make everyone else worry. it's a bloody hoax

quote from email
"titled: Please Inform all your Female Friends !!!!!
A woman at a bar on a Saturday night was taken by 5 men, who, according to hospital and police reports, gang raped her before dumping her. Unable to remember the events of the evening, tests later confirmed the repeat rapes, along with traces of Rohypnol in her blood and Progesterex, essentially a small sterilization pill.
The drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape AND sterilize their victims. Progesterex is available to vets to sterilize large animals. Progesterex is being used together with Rohypnol, the date rapedrug.
As with Rohypnol, all they have to do is drop it into the girl's drink. The girl can't remember a thing the next morning, of all that had taken place the night before. Progesterex, which dissolves in drinks just as easily, is such that the victim doesn't get pregnant; she won't conceive from the rape and the rapist needn't worry about having a paternity test identifying him months later.
The drug's effects ARE NOT TEMPORARY - They are P*E*R*M*A*N* E*N*T!!! Progesterex was designed to sterilize horses.. Any female who takes it willNEVER BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE... The weasels can get this drug from anyone who is in the vet school or any university.
It's that easy, and Progesterex is about to break out big on campuses everywhere.. Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how to use it. Please forward this to everyone you know, especially girls... Be careful when you're out and don't leave your drink unattended.
Please make the effort to forward this on to all you know... Guys, please inform all your female friends and relatives!
REPOST THIS MSG AS MANY TIMES AS YOU CAN to HELP SAVE THE NEXT VICTIM..... "

CLICK HERE!

or maybe just search it on any search engine copy the word below:

Progesterex

like wth... please stop sending this around if you see it.
it's another urban legend... like the sperm whale which can ejaculate God knows how many gallons is a bloody fake thing too.
IT'S A HOAX!! PLEASE STOP SENDING SPAM EMAILS UNLESS THEY ARE REALLY WORTHWHILE TO READ. PLEASE CHECK IF IT'S ACTUALLY FACTUAL BEFORE SPAMMING THESE BLOODY STUFF AND MAKE PEOPLE WORRIED SICK FOR NO REASON. But do note, of course there is a need to take care of your drink when you are in the pub anyway. drugs can really be dissolved in them but not this so called "progesterex"

Homemade Marshmallows

this recipe is from Martha Stewart when she went on the Oprah. Which was a really long time ago...

Ingredients:

2.5 tbsps unflavoured gelatin
1.5 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
0.25 tsps of salt
2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
confectioner's sugar [icing sugar]

procedure:

combine gelatin and 0.5 cups of cold water in a bowl, whisk with an electric mixer

combine sugar, syrup, salt and 0.5 cups of water in a small heavy saucepan, over low heat, stir until sugar has dissloved. wash down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to dissolve sugar crystals

cook syrup at high heat without stirring until syrup reaches firm ball-stage[244C] immediately remove pan from heat

with mixer on low speed, slowly and of course carefully pour syrup into gelatin. Increase speed to high; beat till mixture is thick and white [it should have tripled its volume] about 15 minutes. add vanilla; beat to incorporate.

generously dust an 8 by 12inch pan with confectioner's sugar. pour mixture into pan. dust again with confectioner's sugar. allow it to stand overnight uncovered, to dry out.

i haven't tried the recipe out myself. but it seems pretty simple... i guess the tricky parts will be reaching firm-ball stage and where to find a place to let it stand overnight without anything[/anyone for some] attacking it and it should be a cool place too...

leads & paths

been exactly a week, soon fyp will soon be over. hmm... i'm slightly stuck on what to write.

fyp, meant lots of food and blood donation this week. we made beef stew with the beef cubes that i brought. it was a pot of comfort it i am to describe it myself. the ppl we fed it with say it was good. faust calls it stone soup 'cause what we did was exactly like what the stone soup story was about. lucky us that we had great sense on what to put and what not. on my part i had have provided the recipe added apples, carrots, potato, celery, tomato, etc... faust added a number of herbs and spices with chicken soup and tomato soup. so yea it was stone soup. i guess the stone was the good few pieces of beef [they are delicious edible stones]



blood wasn't taken from us the first time we offered our arms. too little iron. they were much stricter this time. we ate the beef stew anyway.

the next day was fha. most of us were dress formal, on my part, i'm a vainpot and i couldn't find an appropriate pair of jeans. so i just wore the pants i bought. omg. my feets hurted. stupid shoes[but you look pretty, kinda] we ate gelato and cheese the most. everyone was just crowding infront of the display freezers. i LOVE hazelnut icecream. after all the walking and blistering of my feets. i went to tampines mall for dinner.

food. then on thursday we donated blood. and my arms weren't able to move much, after. the next day, my celbow was a patch of red.

saturday i got out. just tagged along with the rest and didn't buy anything. and left for dinner which i tot was a smart thing 'cause i had a big piece of chicken instead of the food that i was able to buy.

Were you a mj fan?

i thought he looked cool in the "Michael Jackson - Moonwalker (1988)" which i don't know when i watched it but remembered it was near christmas. as i remembered the fairylights on the christmas tree and the christmas tree. ok i want to watch that movie again.

it's a great improvement.

we altered the bacon cheese chives muffin and now it feels more "muffined" quote from faust, "it taste pretty." yea it does doesn't it. it worked hahaha! perfectoe.

i wonder why did i use the wrong avocado actually... how both the avocado taste bitter after it's baked? what's a hass avocado anyway? all avocado looks the same to me and ntuc fairprice only sells one type of avocado /:

have you have weird dreams? i wonder why mine are so random. recently i dreamt that someone accused me of wearing mismatched lingerie... like wth? what's wrong with that wearing them that way anyway... and then i have dreamt about highchairs with bendable legs that were black with the knobs where the point it bends were electric blue. another one was the part where people waking only able articulate one word, eg."m mu mu muffin, mu'm muff!" then there were random people that i know appear in my dreams. i know i have said that my dreams were weird(before in previous posts) but i just want to say that again so maybe my mind will stop giving me weird dreams again.

let's say this again.

"It taste Pretty."-Faustine at foob lab, 18th April 2008

mango chilli muffin is spicy la.

i should have used a sour mango i totally regret using that tasty, sweet, milky flesh thing. OMG! OMG! WASTED!! i threw the whole batch away WASTED! the poor mango. before that i realised the bloody recipe don't have the bloody temperature! like wth! mmmrrggghh... anyway correction from last post. not i will gain weight but i am totally gaining weight because of the fyp. I AM totally sacrificing my waistline. ok i sound so 'gay'.

so anyway back to the session i had this morning with the soggified muffin. like it didn't dry up in the inside )8 for nuts. -A- ben is very very disappointed with the recipe.

Mint chocolate cupcakes

We[faustine and i] tried this today 'cause we're too bored? haha real random moment. I will totally gain weight during this FYP OMG! T_T anyway this is the recipe which i got from the book[500 cupcakes and muffin the only cupcake compendium you'll ever need fergal connolly] that i finally have!

to me the icing is kinda diffcult to spread...

to make the cupcake you'll need

225g self-raising flour
4tbsp cocoa powder
1tsp baking powder
225g caster sugar
225g unsalted butter(softened)
4 eggs
1tsp mint essence
100g plain chocolate chips

for icing you'll need

115g unsalted butter(softened)
225g icing sugar(sieved)
1tsp mint essence
green food colouring
100g plain chocolate chips

[we halved everything 'cause i tot it was quite alot. We made more than 12 still. Maybe our cupcakes are much smaller than theirs]

alright procedure

First preheat oven to 160C.
Then Lay the muffin tins with cupcake cups.

In a medium bowl, sieve flour, cocoa powder abd baking powder.

In a HUGE bowl[preferably those deeper ones so whisking/whipping won't be as messy] beat the sugar and butter together till smooth[i use the electronic hand mixer]

Add in eggs one at a time, beat well after each addition

Add the flour mixture gradually, stir well. stir the mint essence and chocolate chips.

Spoon mixture into cups, 2/3 full.

Bake for 20mins, remove and cool for 5mins.


Making the icing you have to first beat butter and icing sugar in a small bowl till smooth and creamy.

Then stir in mint essence and just enough food colouring to make it mint green.

spread the icing on the cupcake and decorate with chocolate chips.

and your cupcakes are ready-to-eat!

makes 1.5 dozen = 18.

i have to get this song



anyone?

2 weeks ago my family went to queenstown to have branch. I was intrigued by an old man with 2 cups of coffee, and 2 bowls of porridge. similar bowl of porridge as mine. We sat there as a family. while the old man sat alone. I was to believe that he was waiting for someone. A friend, his wife?

I started on my porridge while he sat there alone and pondering.

He started eating. He ate and finished his bowl of porridge. But no sign of a companion. slowly but steady he ate the second bowl too. Why isn't his companion with him yet. He looks too full to finish that bowl of porridge.

Poor old man. He drank the cups of coffee too.

Where's your companion? widower? Have you bought the 2 bowls of porridge and coffee for a reason? Or have you forgotten that you're now alone?

Poor old man.

what do you think?

Dream interpretation

well.. i was thinking. usually your dreams do mean something something you are trying to solve.

So what does a claymation scene of a round brown house being moulded and a tin toy robot dancing with a sock monkey on the top of the house to a song that i have no idea if i have heard it before and it was a MTV means? it ended with some bass guitar or something. /:

I walked from borders to PS then took a train down to clark quay then took a bus and walk to great world city. Just to find a book and no everywhere is out of stock /: just my luck.

i want my recipe book ):

well today we're gonna be present about our Australia study trip aren't we sigh. i sure it will turn out fine except maybe i'll get the jitters...
yesterday was busy. 3 appointments in one day makes me a little messed up. plus ongoing search for the 500 cupcakes: The Only Cupcake Compendium You'll Ever Need.

Grill off!

ok just bored. Melbourne was fun. Parents are naggy. I kinda wish the trip was longer. /: not too long like a 3mth attachment but like maybe 1 month. but i doubt someone could stand to stay with me that long. Oh well. i got busy shopping there. Bought lots of candy. some clothes and accessories.

Today is the start of FYP i wonder what we'll actually be doing. lucky for me i do not need to get up early today to go to school. BUT... i still got up early. can't sleep my legs were getting the chills. then i can't sleep anymore. also haven't went back on track with the Singpore timeline yet. anyhow i just be getting ready for school now.

Pancakes!

i woke up wanting to eat pancakes so i made pancakes! but first i had to find the recipe from the internet. like the other time my mom wanted to make ginseng chicken i found it out in the internet too. yay! my brother says it's nice hahaha! the only thing is i could not find maple syrup at home. he found it but it has expired like 2 years ago D: horrors. i made the fluffy ones. but i'm not sure if they were supposed to turn out like it my variation or was it suppose to be more fluffy. 'cause i tried my best to beat the egg white stiff but it was more of semi-stiff. light. whatever.
the first one didn't look like what i was hoping it would look like but subsequently they look quite alright.

anyway, i was also hoping my mom could eat it but i guess i took kinda long to produce the first one. once she got out of her room she was already a leg out of the house /:

i didn't have buttermilk at home /: i don't usually see them here anyway so i sub it with milk and lemon juice

recipe:
2 cups all-purpose/plain flour
2 tbsps granulated sugar
1/2 tsps salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsps baking soda
1 cup buttermilk[ if you really can't find that you can use 1 tsp to 1 cup of milk have to let it set for a few minutes or just use plain yogurt]
3/4 cups milk
2 large eggs [separate the yolks from the whites]
1/4 cup melted butter
vegetable oil

first you combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and the soda together in a bowl.
mix the buttermilk, milk, egg yolks and melted butter together in another bowl...
then you pour in the liquid stuffs into the powdery mix.
stir till everything is blended together.
the egg whites you beat till they are stiff[to me stiff is supposed to be like you can't really pour it out anymore... like whipped cream]
then to fold in the egg white into the batter till you know it's inside the batter.

take your pan out i think a non-stick pan is good.
heat a small amount of oil at medium heat.
when oil is hot enough pour a small portion of your batter into the pan.
see the edges dry and bubbles bursting and the bottom is brown.
you can then flip it over and fry the over side till brown. the recipe says about 2-3mins each side.

2 more papers to go!
before my father left the house he said,"don't be home late. something bad may happen." what is something bad that may happen? why now? can't it be after the 10th of March or after my birthday... which is like 20days after that x:

please let it rain.

ok i'm updating in the midst of the exams...



i don't know about you but i haven't seen the rain for a few days now. maybe it's already 2 weeks. It really seems like something is missing without the rain. it makes me sad and slightly paranoid. makes me think about 2012... maybe it's really happening .

i thought i felt some raindrops but it didn't rain

shower the leaves. drench the soil and i'll be happy.

it's so much easier to post than to email...

What is marketing


1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: ' I am very rich. Marry me! ' - That's Direct Marketing'


2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says: ' He's very rich. 'Marry him.' -That's Advertising'


3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: ' Hi, I'm very rich. 'Marry me - That's Telemarketing'


4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a
drink, you open the door (of the car)for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say:'By the way, I'm rich. Will you 'Marry Me?' - That's Public Relations'


5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says:'You are very rich! 'Can you marry ! Me?' - That's Brand Recognition'


6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: 'I am very rich. Marry me!' She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. - ' That's Customer Feedback '


7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: 'I am very rich. Marry me!' And she introduces you to her husband. - 'That's demand and supply gap'


8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her: 'I'm rich. Will you marry me?' and she goes with him - 'That's competition eating into your market share'


9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: 'I'm rich, Marry me!' your wife arrives. - ' That's restriction for entering new markets '

yesterday was pretty event-full. first we went to have lunch at suki sushi. had a bowl of sashimi salmon ricebowl[yum.] and an extra plate of sashimi[yay.] oh i miss you my wonderful salmon sashimi you look so beautiful yesterday ahhaha!

ok so yj came along halfway into lunch and started talking about 2012. she said all humans will die that year and was emoing about the whole night. : and lots and rubbish came up after that like alien vs Buddha[like WTH!] the person who came up with the thot is really lame. x: so then we were talking about it the whole time.

after that yj and i left for bugis. we took 133 like what faust told us to do. yj said she is someone who was very particular and choosy ending up buying almost to $300 of clothes at bugis. that's about 7 to 8 apparels i've only bought about $35 i think. or maybe it was $60. we went to the cathay, PS and cineleisure too. all laughter and shopping.

the 1st post

ok i'm like too lazy to post nowadays. it seems that when i don't feel like writing about my life more things happens. there is a death, a fight and some more interesting things that happened.

anyway i shall just write about what happen on friday since someone ask me to blog about it.

Our project3 is going to be finalised soon. We made pumpkin noodle in pumpkin sauce[as seen above] why do people not like pumpkin? i don't like mushroom. actually i hate mushroom... ok nvm. we made my dear group member to like pumpkin. see pumpkin is good and sweet.

after that we went home. i went to newton circus for dinner with my family. we saw someone being strangled luckily he's not dead and no bottles were smashed.

so many projects are going to be due.
