Man of the Moment

This is my Man of the Moment... Care to guess who he is?



Yup, He's the ventriloquist that is famous for Achmed the Dead Terrorist. But i like another of his character: Walter.

Ripe Old Age?

Have you ever wondered how old you would live until?

NLB has set my mind at ease... Apparently I'm supposed to live till the year of 2999! Lolz... Actually that is what I saw when I log in to see my account status & pay my fines on their page! =P

Shared Laughter

What is more dangerous than shared laughter? Laughter is more powerful than all the kisses in the world. You could keep from falling in love with a man whose only attraction was a feeling of sexual interest, but how could you not fall in love with a man who make you laugh? Laughing with a man made you dream of a life with a man who could see the bright side of life, a man who would smile when the going got worse.

I read this from the book The Invitation, written by Jude Deveraux.

Isn't this just simply true?

Phone Etiquette

You know, I do think that people need to be taught what is phone etiquette. Some people think that talking loudly (I'm guilty cos I've got a loud voice) means that the other party can hear clearly (not of this though), whereas some think that just because the other party has a mobile phone, the person is contactable 24/7.

I've called companies whereby the person who answered the phone as if it was his personal line, making me ask if I did get the company directly. This also happened in my company. There has also been cold calls made to our company whereby the caller was so ultra soft that I had to maximize the volume over on my side while asking her to speak up.

I'm sure you have you pet peeves of what people do to piss you off, at least on the phone side, be it the land line, or mobile phone.

There shall be a post dedicated to the etiquette that people should follow, once I've complied a list of what are the do and don'ts that work... At least for me!

Crazy Shopping

Know what they say about the difference between men and women when it comes to shopping? See comic below:


I lived up to the theory the just the other day... Lol! Headed down to Vivo with just 3 items in mind to purchase, but I purchased the following items instead, which set me back a total of approx 1 whooping thousand! Lol...



Crazy huh? But I absolutely love my purchases, especially the natural pearl necklance! =)

Sick Sick Cow...

What happens when you eat 1.5 packets of nuggets, 2/3 of Vienetta ice cream, topped with 3 glasses of wine over a period of 3 consecutive days?

You fall sick! That's what happens… and most unfortunately, that's what happened to me too…

I'm now a sick sick cow, welcoming the year of the Ox… Lol!

Love Matters

I've got to admit that I've been watching movies on a fairly regular basis recently. Not that I'm becoming a full time movie-goer (given the fact that I still rent DVDs), some movies are just worth it to catch in the cinema, such as Australia, and Ong Bak 2, Ip Man etc…

Singapore's Jack Neo's new movie for 2009 Chinese New Year looks good. Titled Love Matters, it looks like a local movie that I might finally be willing to plonk my money to head over to the cinema to watch, but of course at a reduced price of $6.50. (I sound like I'm so unwilling to support homegrown movies, but then again, they normally get shown on Channel 8 fairly fast!) Lol…

Anyway, here's the trailer for the movie. The last part about Henry Thia making a sentence with colors is so hilarious!

Prawning

I must have been living under a rock all this time... It was only when I went prawning that I knew that prawns have pincers (see insert photo)



2 people, 1 rod, 2 hours, 1 prawn... Even the uncle fishing in the next pond had to give us 3 of his prawns as he felt sorry for us! Lolz!

But, I must hao lian (be boastful) and say that the prawn that I (immediately after my friend handed the rod over) caught was the biggest, and the most fighting spirit, as it was still flipping when my friend got it home! =)

Interference

Interference has a number of definitions.

1. To interpose in a way that hinders or impedes : come into collision or be in opposition
2. To strike one foot against the opposite foot or ankle in walking or running —used especially of horses
3. To enter into or take a part in the concerns of others
4. To act reciprocally so as to augment, diminish, or otherwise affect one another —used of waves
   

What would you do if you realize that someone has been interfering in your life? For example,

• Logging into your email account to see whatever mails that you receive,
  
• Logging into your msn in order to chat with your friends to find out what you've been out to
  
• Contacting your friends list on the popular networking sites (like Friendster, Facebook etc) to limit your social activities
  

Should anyone does any of the above to me, that's it. I would not care if I know the person for a long time, a short time or even if he/she is my best friend's sibling or best friend.

Cos simply put, the person has an integrity problem.

My life is my own. I may accommodate to requests, but that doesn't mean that the requests will rule my life. If I don't interfere with yours, why should you interfere with mine?

Action Talk?

Talk is cheap. I'm sure you've heard this saying before.

I will remember what has been said before, be it in anger, jest or in a normal conversation. But whenever actions contradict whatever that has been said, it sure makes one go hmmm.

For example, if you say that spending money on certain things is not worth it when the money can be spent on other items and yet you purchase that particular item more than once, does it mean that you've changed your opinion? Or does it simply mean that your words are so worthless that they can be changed every now and then?

So does your action support what you claim?

It's Over!

It's Over!

Ushering the new year, for the year of 2009 means spring cleaning, aka Out with the Bad, in with the Good. Cos usually people will keep the good! Lolz...

Happy 2009!
