MnMs
Discovered m&ms do customise their chocolate buttons and don't do international shipping. Not even on other merchandise. WHY WHY WHY!!!?????
Life is so unfair. All I want is for them to do the shipping. I'm even willing to pay but nooooo, they don't ship. Bleh.
Shame on you Mars!
Yes, I'm just venting. It's just me. One person. Nobody's gonna take notice. Sigh.

Bikini clad coffee!!
In this culture of all-in-one, you can even get a striptease while waiting for your coffee. Times are bad.

The warm fuzzy feeling
Apparently all these photos are NGEOs best photos of the year. I have no idea how true that is, but here's some of my favourite :)
Guilty pleasures
Spotted, a woman at Safeway putting cinnamon doughnuts into her shopping basket. Makes sense, since the bakery was putting them on offer. In goes 3 boxes. However, I couldn't help but notice she had a really guilty look on her face. Her head had scanned her surroundings before quickly grabbing the boxes while her eyes did quick glances around her. She did catch me looking at her, but as soon as our eyes met, she looked down. Why is that? GUILT.
Poor woman didn't stand a chance. It was displayed right in the middle of the entrance, stacked up high. Does she also realise that just because you think nobody saw you put it in your basket, the calories don't count?
I walked around a little more, and wandered into the chocolate aisle. I felt like something rich. Grabbed it and proceeded to the checkout and sat on the bench right outside the exit. I broke off a bit of my chocolate and put it in my mouth. Mmmm, rich, creamy milk chocolate, cool air blowing and the sun on my face. I suddenly wondered if this would make a good advert.
Out walks doughnut woman. She pauses to look at me, the opened chocolate bar in my left hand, partially bitten off square in my right. For a split second, I thought she was gonna rob me of my chocolate, but she quickly walked to her car.
Makes me wonder if she'd rather have my chocolate than her 3 boxes of doughnuts. That goes to show, indulge in ONE good thing, rather than 3 of something bleh.

7:41am...what's wrong?
It's 7:41am on a Thursday morning. A bum such as myself should be asleep waaayyy past 10am. What am I doing up? I was rudely awakened by a nightmare or astronomical proportions. I dreamt I was married.
To who I was married to was even weirder. It was a cross between 2 people I knew in life - yes, hybrid person, and he already has a kid. On top of that, I was staying in the house directly opposite my parents. The icing on the cake was I didn't know I got married. It apparently happened during a 2 week blackout that I had. I was going throuh a 'phase'. Some sort of psychological trauma (I don't know what).
The proof was the ring that I had on my finger. It was made of ceramic, and had the words 'Bertie's Pots' written on it. First thoughts that came to mind was that the decision to get married was something done spur of the moment.
Scene changes to a familiar restaurant. I'm having drinks with some old friends. Somehow feel obligated to tell them what happened to me. They're aware that I went missing for 2 weeks (strange). Everyone's shocked, especially one of them, who goes into stunned silence and is completely expressionless. That scared me the most. Somehow I needed his approval.
End.
I wake up and it takes me at least a full 30seconds to figure out where I am. Dark and unfamiliar surroundings with some faint noises in the backgrond. I feel a strange childish fear of being lost. I'm in my aunt's living room in Melbourne. What am I doing here? Logic hits me. Oh.
I haven't had a nightmare in ages. Sitting here writing about it makes me thing, do I fear being married? Or being married to the wrong person? More of the former I believe, no?

VicRoads
Took the exam today and thought for sure that I would fail. Well, shows that I am a genius! My results were as follows:
You have passed the VicRoads Lerner Permit Test with a score of 88%
Your test results show that you need to revise the following chapters in the Road to Solo Driving book.
Chapter 4 - Rules and responsibilities
- Give Way rules
- Parking
I wanted to laugh out loud when I saw that - who in Malaysia actually knows anything about giving way or parking? People just park wherever (sometimes triple park) and nobody gives way no matter what.
BUT, time to celebrate the fact that I passed without studying. Shows you don't have to be a genius ;-)

Trekkies!!!
The new era of Star Trek is out. When I was a kid, it was considered 'uncool' to watch Star Trek or any sci-fi show. Screw that. The new Star Trek movie rocks! and yes, the actors are cute too!!! Zachery Quinto looks gorgeous there, James T. Kirk never was cuter and Chekov never sounded funnier. The physical resemblence between Zachery Quinto and the young Leonard Nimoy is really uncanny, although I must say Vulcan's have never been so good looking :)
I still can't take John Cho seriously. To me he'll always be Harold, but they couldn't have picked a better person to play Sulu. Karl Urban is still the witty character on the TV series Lost. Charming in his own way and perfect for Dr. McCoy.
Actors aside, what did I like about the movie? The fact that they didn't butcher the original story. There was action, there was the British variety humour, there was the character chemistry and there was romance. Well, sort of. Negligible. But Star Trek was never about the romance. If I was ever on the border about being a fan, this definately tipped me over. Having said that, I'm not in any rush to start dressing up as Uhura and attending Star Trek conventions!
Found this video on YouTube that makes fun of Trekkies. Brilliant if you asked me. Star Trek doesn't belong to you lamers anymore!

Tossing a Salad
Yes, I admit I'm ignorant. I didn't know what 'salad tossing' meant until today, and it didn't involve any leafy greens either :P
Wikipedia defines it as:
a type of salad a slang term for anal-oral sex or anilingus
Wikipedia defines it as:
Being curious, I read on and figured there may be other ignorant people out there. So here's a general guide to salad tossing, or anilingus, ala Leggy.
Technique
Stimulate the more sensitive areas around tne anal opening with tongue and/or lips. I'm sure you're able to find it. It's also advisable not to eat anything, brush your teeth (strange) or have any dental work done right before performing the act (funny how this is an 'act'..haha), so in other words, do this before dining the person!
I also read that it can be used for personal pleasure or erotic humiliation. WTF is erotic humiliation?! Sure sounds funny and there are people get off on it. There's a fine line between erotic humiliation and dominance. That itself is a whole other topic. It just defers in some acts.
Practice safe analingus
Always have a dental dam. They make you look like something out of a horror movie, but at least you're safe from STDs and other nasty things that come out of your anus :P There's a whole cocktail (pun intended) of bacteria there. To list it out would put most people off. Definately put me off for sure!!!
In some cases, plastic cling wrap (yes, really) has been known to be used but not as effective in disease prevention.
Disclaimer: This is written purely for fun. I don't claim to be the expert in this. Great if it works for you (dirty dirty dog!) and sorry if it doesn't

Prawns
It was just another day driving to work, but a story I heard on the radio while driving to work just made me laugh out loud.
They were doing some call in and tell us about your break up story, and when I tuned in, they were telling listeners about stories that callers told them. Guess the callers didn't want to go on-air because they wanted to remain anonymous, and for good reason! This is the story that got me all cracked up.
This girl who had broken up still had her ex-boyfriend's house keys. She used it to get into his house after the break up. She didn't want to steal anything because (a) it would be very petty and (b) it would be too obvious. So what she did was even better. You know those hollow metal pole curtain rods? She took them down and stuffed it with fresh prawns. Friggin' prawns!!! Well anyway, after that she heard from some common friends that he was complaining about a smell. This went on for awhile and 2 months later the smell got so bad that he actually moved out of the place coz he couldn't figure out what the smell was and where it was coming from. Hilarious!!!
I'm sure that story's gonna give a lot of ppl ideas. Haha! Beware a woman scorned!!!

Moving
The hardest part of doing anything, isn't the act of doing it, but rather making the decision to actually do it - whatever it may be.
Choosing to move was hard, but once I decided, I knew I wouldn't change my mind. I've been toying with the idea for the past 3 years couldn't decide till now. What made me make up my mind? Well, that's a whole other story on it's own.
I've gotten mixed responses from so many people when they hear I'm leaving. Here's most of the standard replies I've given:
1. No, I'm not getting married.
2. No, I don't have someone waiting for me there.
3. No, I don't have a job lined up.
4. Yes, I do like my current life but I feel that there's more to it than this.
5. No, I did not get fired from work.
6. No, I did not strike the lottery. I just need to get out of my comfort zone.
7. Yes, I am scared.
8. No, I don't know what I'm going to do there just yet.
9. I'm going to Melbourne but I may not stay put there.
10. It really is something I just have to do. I don't want to sit around and wonder 'what if' when I'm 50.
So there, you don't have to smile politely or gasp in awe coz really, nothing to be envious about a person who's going to be jobless soon and has no big plans. What I know is that it'll be fine because I have made the decision to go and I will make sure it's fine. I'm a survivor. Always have been and always will be.
But first things first, I gotta buy a plane ticket....hmm...

Zara/Massimo Warehouse Sale - Cineleisure (30th Apr 2009)
It is completely insane to even consider going to that sale. Firstly, the queue was about 200 ppl long half an hour before the doors even opened. Once it opened, well, I have no idea what happened coz I wasn't about to sit around and wait. Thank god there was something else to do - some Adidas sale nearby. I'd say they're smart enough to set up a small area near the queue for the supposed 'big sale'. They got alot of the spill-over crowd from the Zara sale.
While browsing in the Adidas section, I overheard a guy saying "There's damn kau alot of ppl! You can't even look at the things, and the guy's section is crazy small.....Yea, I bought a belt.....dunno what brand la, but looked nice....I really suggest that you don't even bother coming..."
And boy was that guy right. That was at 10:45am. According to a friend, she went back at 8:30pm and there was STILL a queue!! Shorter no doubt but still about 50ppl in line to get in, excluding all the 200 delusional ppl squashed into the shop. Why delusional? Because I'm not one of them. Hahaha!
