How do I eat Collon biscuits

1) Open the box
2) Open the silverish covering
3) Choose any tube biscuit
4) Suck the cream at one end of the tube biscuit (repeat x 50 times or so)
5) Munch on the emptied tube biscuit!

It’s not as easy as you think! :P

Stupid Thing of the Day!

Monday, February 13th, 2006

Happy Friendship/Valentine’s Day! Today’s a rather unlucky day for me. I was fashionably late, and my boss had to look for me just a few minutes before I arrived in the office.

And the cute/stupid thing is, I scalded myself with hot water from the water dispenser. Why? Because I used mineral water bottle to refill water, and the bottle’s mouth was too small to fit the 2 nozzles (hot & cold).

Cooler

Not wanting to drink too cold water, I fit the bottle’s mouth under the cold water nozzle (note that the hot water nozzle is outside of the bottle).

Then I conveniently press the cold water button, followed by the left some minutes later, forgetting that I’m not using my normal bottle (with a big mouth). It’s not exactly a scald, but I uttered, "Oh shit, oh shit" when the hot water got to my hand.

The bespectacled guy behind me looked at me sympathetically, but I just smiled back.

Gee, time to get a tumbler! =P

I Not Stupid Too

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006

After hearing some good feedback about the show "I Not Stupid Too", I’ve been wanting to watch it at the cinemas. Nowadays, my mum is the one who’s always asking me for movie dates from time to time.

Previously, I watched Fearless [Starring Jet Li] instead, because there weren’t many tickets left.

Finally, yesterday I got to catch that critically-acclaimed film, directed by our local talent, Jack Neo. In case you are unaware, he’s quite a good actor and cartoonist too.

Frankly, it’s a show worth watching again despite the stigma of it being a locally-produced show. The funny bits are really funny, especially the part they made use of computer graphics to demonstrate how parents talk to their children, and how bosses talk to their subordinates.

Two-thumbs up, I would say. If I’ve more thumbs, I’ll prolly raise more, but two are all I’ve got. Heh.

The heart-wrenching bits are tear-inducing. It’s the first show I’ve went to, that I cried more than thrice at different scenes. It’s the first show I caught, that I actually noticed people around me crying. It’s the first show I’ve watched, that I’ve heard more tissue paper sounds than mobile phone sounds. First show I’ve watched that I got disturbed 5 times during the show. -.-"

Although some scenes were a little clichéd, they were not really expected. Parents who watch this show would be able to realise that they need a key to connect to their children. Funny how adolescents our age would be able to think and feel in the shoes of both the parents and the children, but when we have kids of our own, we overlook this issue. Thought-provoking, isn’t it?

Shoes

Just before the show, I was window-shopping with my mum at Jurong Point [coincidentally, some of the settings in "I Not Stupid Too" were in Jurong Point]. Saw a pair of soft-sole shoes at "ba pin", a store next to the cinema. Found it quite nice, although feedback was that it was too expensive [$39.90] and not worth it. I guess 5% discount doesn’t suffice at all. We’ll see how. =D

Lion_dance

It’s been so long after my CNY celebration, and I’ve yet to post about my Malaysia trip. Guess the photo above acts as a spirit-lifting one, isn’t it? My office is pretty huge, and the lion dance troupe actually went from department to department to perform as well as to collect angbaos [red packets].

There were only 2 lions, by the way, whose skulls were embossed with 4 numeric digits. *drools*

I wonder whether I’ll get beginner’s luck if I buy 4D this weekend? =D
