I thought there was supposed to be a post uploading today, but turned out there wasn't. I've been putting on scheduled post for one week now since I hasn't been in the right mood to blog, and I knew that, so I prepared. Oh well, miscalculated.
I want to share with you one photo I've taken in HCMC.
I've heard of Dutch houses where they're long and narrow, but this is ridiculous.
The most expensive house here in Clifton cost 90 million Rand (or USD 11.5 million , or RM38 million). It's not some mansion, just a really exquisite tastefully designed four bedroom masterpiece, that's all.
Yesterday I left my laptop on while I went to play on my mom's computer.
And because I was browsing my facebook at that time so when I left the laptop, my facebook page was left online just like that.
Half an hour later, my baby walked towards my laptop screen (I was still playing at my mom's computer) and asked me to come over to take a look.
Apparently there was a facebook chat opened left by someone on my facebook.
If you've ever experienced why I never reply your chat msg on facebook, now you know why. :p
And then my baby consecutively spoke out the words that was typed on my facebook chat.
I burst out laughing!!!!
Ok? Ok?
No?
F U.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Oh man.. this joker is classic
What did I do to him?
Today I shall bring Chocolate to get an injection and perhaps her first grooming session ever since we got her. Does anyone know where I can find a pet shop that does cat grooming in Melaka?
ps// if you're going to scrutinise on why I never mask his name, well, I can't be arsed to. Besides, he swore at me, so why should I be polite? :)
Back from Thailand and managed to catch one last day of Chinese New Year celebration with all my relatives before coming back to reality, and of course, this blog. Keke
Sorry I've been absent. But I bet so was everyone else.
How's Chinese New Year for you? Lots of Ang Pows?
Anyway, just a quick one.
Saw this really funky thing in Bangkok Airport yesterday.
It's a spray bottle of an Absolute Vodka Peach flavour! With test paper for you to spray on!
How quirky!
I know the idea of letting people have a "smell" of the vodka flavour, but this idea of a perfume-style tester is just so cute!
I wonder if I can drink from it...
er... I mean.. spray from it.

Okay. Gonna go out to play mah jong with mom and brother.
Was in Cineplex one day and I saw this outlet that has either the best or worst name for a shop.
I can just imagine the shop salesgirl having this conversation with a customer: "what color of fore four skins would you like? We have brown, dark brown, light brown, black, white, yellow, beige, etc. We even have blue and green or red if you like, though not many people has or wear those colors. People normally prefer black and neutral brown."
I guess business wasn't that good. All fourskins were on discounts.
And so with the last tour I left Tasmania, in fact I left Australia overall and flew further down South and found myself in New Zealand- the youngest country on earth.
Now on the first day, I met up with Amy, a reader from Auckland.
She brought me to Sylvia Park, the biggest family mall in Auckland at the moment, for a walk about and to catch some lunch.
Choice outfit of the day. It was rather chilly.
We settled for The Coffee Club (a franchise from Australia) at the mall and simultaneously ordered our food. We were soooo hungry!
Then just as we submitted our orders, waited for 15 minutes. And large delicious plates of food were served in front of us.
As just as plates touched the table, and us barely have time to even lift our forks, a loud siren went off, booming through the mall and into our restaurant too.
It was the fire alarm.
"You GOTTA be kidding me?!" I thought.
At first everyone was stunned. No one moved and no one knew exactly what to do.
Then the manager of the restaurant walked out, looked around, and as if suddenly decided to finally act out his authority, he made the final decision while everyone was lost.
He informed all his staff and then announced that we have to leave the building.
It was all so calm. Everyone got up and walked out slowly, following the large crowd that were flowing toward the back-entrance of the mall.
While following the crowd like a good little foreign citizen, I glanced back and this was what I saw.
Did you see what I saw?
The three girls on the picture were customers earlier at the restaurant sitting next to our table.
And in their hands..
were food!!
Their food came just minutes before ours! And when the alarm went off, they took the chance to hand picked all their food from their plates and walked out of the restaurant following everyone like it's the most normal thing to do.
And I can bet my good penny that they won't be returning to the restaurant any time soon.
Least to pay for their food?!
You know, this is the reason why so many people in the world scrutinize us Asians. We do things like this!! (Or some of our other counterparts of equal skin color)
Many Asians take the goodwill or the better welfare of people and society for our (their?) own benefit, or in this case, taking advantage of situation during the extreme moments.
But then so do a lot of other people from other races. We tend to stereotypes. Can't blame us for doing so.
And if you think that's bad. Wait till you see this middle age lady.
Oh yes. You're looking alright.
She was sitting in the restaurant earlier, and even more champion, instead of taking advantage of free food, she took our her entire plate. So to make she didn't leave any salad or fries behind.
You would think she could be any more subtle. But NOOOO~~~~
She was carrying the plate around, eating happily, in public's view!
And then she proceeded to sit down next to what was presumed to be her husband.
Yep. If you want to steal food and eat, eat in comfort.
Find a nice little sidewalk and sit there under the chilly autumn morning to eat your sandwich.
Then you would probably think: "Oh, the husband would be so embarrassed and maybe ushered her to stop this kind of shameful act. And either to, advice her on the spot and pretend that he didn't know her OR ask her to finish the food as quick as possible and leave."
WRONG AGAIN!
The husband ate with her.
Awe... so romantic. Sharing the same plate outdoor. NOT!
Me pouting with the shameless couple in the background.
Now if you think that's reasonable till now. After all, the food was going to go to waste anyway. The restaurant will throw those food out one way or the other when everyone left. So why waste good food?
Right?
You'll be amazed.
After scraping all their food clean, the woman stood up, with some salad left on the plate.
Walked to the other end of the sidewalk.
Where a bin stood.
Tilted her plate and let the salad fell into the bin.
And walked in the other direction, AWAY!!!!
WITH THE PLATE!!!
While everyone was walking back toward into the building.
Seemed like it was a false alarm, either that the chaos has been settled.
So I did the only thing a blogger would do at this occasion.
Things you'll read in a Tassie's Newspaper classified/advertisement section.
Dude! If I were you, I would just keep it!
Why bother pay for an ad space to return it. The owner probably had already bought a new one. -.-
But then again, if I a dude, and a lame one at that, I probably wouldn't need a PINK Ipod cover and WOULD pay for an ad to meet a said owner who could be a pretty blonde and use it as an excuse to her my girlfriend
Then again, I'm not lame. Nor am I a guy. Thank god.
Opps. It's a lost Iphone Cover. Haha. Read wrongly.
But really, what are the chances that the person who might pick up the over would read that section of the paper.
It certainly is competitive in the automotive industry. There are simply too many choices for consumers, they range from qualities, sizes, powers and go all the way toward brands.
In Germany, the big guys that are competing harshly between one another will be Mercedes, BMW and Audi.
In Malaysia, the 3 mentioned brands promote quality, luxury and the ability to put a big hole in our pocket. Certainly, these 3 companies earns big, and yes, BIG! Guess where they spill their Benjamin’s?
I mean, they have SO much extra money (from all the overpriced cars? They have to have!), they didn't hesitate for a second on their marketing and advertising schemes.
Audi thought they could get away with an ad that kicking BMW's bottom by being cheeky
But BMW bagged the final "move"
Classic. Nice.
BMW got friskier and they've gone bonkers in Moscow with this huge Billboard that stretched along the city,
I shit you not, they even put real cars on it, not just any car, but their whole “M” range cars!
Would love to nick one of those up there!
We all thought that it would end right there.
But NOOOO, Audi decided to spice things up. On with the war:
BMW wasn't going to sit back and relax
Then Subaru decided to interfere with the Germans riots,
Chairman of Bentley thought that whole fiasco amusing that wanted to join in the fun.
