my first lj spree

My highly anticipated package finally finally arrived yesterday ! wheeee ! Grumpy was going on about me trusting people too much, they're just gonna run off with your money, yadda yadda yadda.


With this arrival, I am free to spreeeeeeeeee. It was for 2 bags from Korea. The organisers were very efficient and answered all my noobish questions.

It's always nice to receive things from the postman.

30 days at neobux

Today is the 30th day since investing $30 at neobux.

Total profit = 31.695 + 8.3 - 0.34 - 0.1 - 30 = $ 9.555

Not bad . I shall continue to put back into the site and perhaps I can buy something nice for Grumpy for Christmas. That should shut him up.


I have a thing for hair products. Long hair needs love. There are 4 different sets of shampoo/conditioner in the toilet currently. So far, the best for my oily hair is Redken's Scalp Relief Oil Detox.

Nice lemony scent. I don't like stuff that's too flowery. Although I must say Clairol Herbal Essences range smells damn nice. The only problem here is that must go salon to buy. Quite troublesome.

I have this bad habit of buying new products and neglecting the old ones , thus the 4 sets of shampoo/conditioner. Grumpy likes the variety. I think his flavour of the month is Loreal.

f cup cookies

When you see a busty girl on a cookie box, you know you've found some wack stuff.

Came across a spree for these f cup cookies and just had to read more. They ain't cheap either. $34 will get you 30 pcs.

You are supposed to take 2 / day diligently. They promise to "increase your cup size within 2 weeks of consumption" A feature was done on BBC radio. Even Mel C (or is it Mel B...anyway the flatter one obviously) had a go at them.

I wonder how many truckloads you would need to go from an A cup to an F. Dodgy stuff. Who knows what kind of hormones are injected into these things ?! Sooner or later I'm sure they're gonna have chocolates that make man-bits bigger. Just you wait.

zuunbo.com

Have you heard of zuunbo.com ? I hadn't till I clicked one of them facebook ads.

It's a local online merchant run by 3 guys offering goods at discounted prices marketed at females. The unique thing about it is only one product is offered every 24 hours (midnight to be exact).

When I first saw today's offer , I was really zuunbo ????!
Here it is and as you can see, it is sold out. EGAD

that soyjoy ad

At the bus stop where I wait for 74 to come along to take me to work, there's that soyjoy ad. I don't know if you've seen it but it's kinda weird yet kinda funny at the same time.

Soyjoy is this nutrition bar made of soybeans and other hamster food ingredients. If you have no idea what I'm waffling about I have made this intricate sketch for you.

On the left we have Mr Soybeanhead holding Miss Berryhead. They are kneeling in what appears to be a janitor's closet/pantry-type area. (The surroundings were just too difficult to draw) So anyway, they both appear startled as if you walked in on them making out or whatever beans and berries do when they get together.

I forgot what the slogon is Soy + Joy = so joyful together or something like that.


I nearly bought one of these things to try at cold storage the other day. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't.

$8M toto

I've never bought Toto in my life, let alone know how it works. But I do know, the odds are probably like one in 10 zillion.

Grumpy was rather excited about trying his luck for tonight's draw at 2130 so yesterday before dinner we made our way to Singapore Pools. This uncle that was standing around was nice enough to explain the basics. I wasn't really listening because I was damn fungry.

We have a shitload of caesarean cases today. It's like one in every 4 patients is a caesarean. With a birthday like that, how to forget ?

cheena girls

A funny incident happened last night at Actors along South Bridge Road. Grumpy and I were there to support dad who was auditioning for an event at Tanglin Club.

So we settle ourselves at the bar and this drinks girl comes up to us and she goes, "Any drink for you ?"

I told her "later". She then moves over to Grumpy and asks the same thing to which Grumpy also replies "later".

She then goes to the bartender,
"Shen me shi later ? "
"Wo yao liang bei later"

AHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAH

NO to Yeow Tat Trading

If you are considering buying a PSP, please to be NOT buying from Yeow Tat Trading

There is an article in today's New Paper about some poor sod who got conned into paying $2600 for a modified black (not even special colour) PSP

She was told it was 'compulsory to install this license from SONY' as well as 'technician's fees for modifications'

I have first-hand experience with these conniving bastards. I wanted a quotation for an iPhone. Had already asked around so roughly knew the market price. The price was quite competitive but when I nearly agreed he started adding on additional charges for software upgrade, usb cable, battery charger and even had the fucking nerve to tell me I had to buy this special adapter ($160) to change the voltage so that I could use the battery charger. He claimed otherwise 'it would be useless' and that 'his boss doesn't allow him to sell the charger without the adapter' That was when we walked away.

After buying it elsewhere, one day me and Grumpy were eating at Maccers Lucky Plaza (Yeow Tat is opposite, can see it through the window) I felt I needed to tell them they were shit. So I went up to Yeow Tat and insisted on speaking to the manager. I pointed out the guy who tried to con us and basically said ' You people have no ethics' . They could only shuffle around looking at their feet . PATHETIC !

pata pata pata pon

These are the characters from that ridiculously addictive rhythm game, Patapon.

The Patapons are walking, talking eyeballs that are depending on you (whom they refer to as 'Almighty WhateverYourNameIs') to lead them via drum beats to Earthend such that they may gaze upon IT. Along the way you will need lots of Ka-Ching and Tender Meat if you want to raise some truly awesome warriors at the Tree Of Life. (I kid you not, these are the original terms used)



Here we have a scene of the Patapons trying to defeat the Zigatons and steal their catapult, giving them enough muscle to topple the Zigaton Fort at Dodon Basin.

If you observe the Patapons, they look rather angry. This is an indication to you (the Almighty) that they are within attack range. Normally they look passive like Hatapon (the flag-bearer)

Grumpy thinks this game is of Filipino origin cos when you complete a mission they will cry 'Tang Ila Mo' - roughly translated as 'Fuck You Bitches' in Tagalog.
It is next to impossible to play this a) without headphones b) whilst talking -- well for me anyway.

tv must be off

I don't know what it is , but I simply canNOT sleep (till the next morning) with the television on .

At some point in the night/early morning if it's on I will automatically wake up. Sometimes, there's no actual program but it's still on as in only the cable box/dvd is off but the tv itself is still on.

Because Grumpy knows about my "condition" he always always ALWAYS conveniently falls asleep whilst watching.

GRRRRrrrRRRrrRRRRRRRRRRrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrRrrrrRrRRrrrrr
