back home...

I'm back home...

I then realize, those who are back, are working, those who are still studying, are not back! Those are working, are most attached and getting into the same routine of life everyday. Those who are back for holiday like me, has joined the kingdom of boredom... Lol... there are still things to do .. just not are happening as years ago when everyone is enjoying student life.

At last, I could sit on my comfy chair and finish off those exciting story books. I would highly recommend women to read this, 'Why Men Love Bitches' by Sherry Argov.

It's late now, better head off to bed. Goodnight everyone!

Expensive Tastes..

Expensive taste?
I guess you could say it's only for the faint hearted. As some of the stuff on there is ridiculously expensive. I could feel my wallet burning up instantly. Blown away by the wind and never to be seen again. Just look at the Louis XII Black Pearl Cognac

Comparing to theLouis XIII Cognac which is selling for $1500.Its selling official from 1st of March for a mere $8000 with limited of 786 bottles.

Or you can dress your Ipod Nano in this FACTRON Re-nano $880 (nearly 6x a nano's price) solid titanium case. It would be on sale from 5th of June.


Next, a unique masterpiece, the Ghost chronograph which Koenigsegg collaborate with Quinting to offer two unique limited edition transparent watch designs, the other is the Advance. Based on the concept of "Mystery Clocks," Quinting specializes in making watches with transaprent inner workings made of fine cut sapphire crystal assembled by expert hands in a dust-free environment to ensure complete transparency.




Unfortunately these two designs are only available in limited quantities to owners of a Koenigsegg supercar!!!!

Hence, when the day that i can afford arrived for me to not only delve into the world of electronic and accessories, but adding them into my list ofpersonal collection, it would be the day that you'll see a Koenigsegg CCR in my garage! Lol.....

singlish and manglish jokes

No offense to Singaporeans or Malaysians, it is purely jokes that I've read.

Ah Beng with two red ears went to his doctor.

The doctor asked him what had happened to his ears and he answered," I was ironing a shirt and the phone ring lor - but instead of picking up the phone, I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear. So Kena lor!"

"Oh Dear!" the doctor exclaimed in disbelief.

"But.. what happened to the other ear?"

"That stoopid dumbo called back!"

Miss Singapore

One of the main reasons why in recent years the Singapore Government has always ensured that their Miss Universe representative were of tertiary level education or higher was because of the following incident which occurred not too many years ago. It is the final round of the Miss Universe Pageant and the 3 finalists, Miss USA, Miss Malaysia and Miss Singapore are being asked 3 simple questions:

MC: The first question is name me an electrical appliance starting with "L"

Miss USA: Lamp

Miss Malaysia: Light bulb

Miss Singapore: LADIO

Judge: No, no, Radio does not start with the letter "L"

MC: I am going to give you 2 more chances; The next question is name me an animal starting with the letter "L"

Miss USA: Lion

Miss Malaysia: Leopard

Miss Singapore: LABBIT

Judge: No, no, no, Rabbit does not start with the letter "L"

MC: I am going to give you one last chance, if you answer this question
incorrectly, you are disqualified.

Name me a fruit starting with the letter "L"

Miss USA: Lemon

Miss Malaysia: Lychee

Miss Singapore, with full of confidence, smiles and says: LIEWLIAN !

This is not the end of the story, the Judge consulted the board of judges to determine if Miss Singapore should really disqualified; and they decided that since Miss Singapore was having as many problems with the letter "L", the decided to give her another chance.

Judge: OK, the final question is name me a human anatomy starting with the letter "L"

Miss USA: Lung (applause)

Miss Malaysia: Liver (even more applause)

Miss Singapore: LAN CHEOW ! (highlight the blank space for answer)

Judge: ?????????!!!!

Ah Beng: Up in Smoke

Long time ago, a rich Singapore tycoon wanted to know how happy a man could be if he was given one wish.
He paid 3 people to test out his experiment:

The rules were:
1. Each person could only have 1 wish.
2. They will be left on a deserted island for 30 years.
3. Food, but not liquor would be provided.

The first contestant, Billy Klinton (USA) asked for the 30 prettiest PLAYBOY centrefolds: " So I can make the most beautiful babies in the world."

The second contestant, Jon Mayjor (UK) said, "I want 30 years' supply of booze."

The last contestant ,Ah Beng (Singapore) said," I want 30 years' supply of Saa-lim (Salem) cigarettes so I can smoke until I song-song"

30 years later, the 3 contestants came back for a press conference.

Billy had with him 200 chidren and 30 estranged women. He remarked, " It has been a long sexual experience for me and I was wondering whether anyone care to buy a child. I will even throw in the mother for free !"

Jon, hanging on to a bottle of beer, was suffering from a hangover but he managed to utter these words. " God save the Beer ! The Queen can drink sea water. "

The last contestant, Ah Beng, hugging onto cartons of Salem shouted, "Ni na beh! Buay kee gia lighter!!!" (@#$*! Forgot to bring lighter!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So this is what goes on at diplomatic summits...

One day, our beloved Senior Minister went to America for a meeting with Bill "Sex Maniac" Clinton. After the meeting, SM Lee approached Bill and asked:

SM Lee: Bill, let me ask you a question.
Bill: About sex?
SM Lee: No, lah! How do you put a giraffe into a fridge?
Bill: Don know.
SM Lee: You open the door, shove the giraffe in, then you close it. Now let me ask you another question how do you add an elephant into the fridge if you can only put one animal in it?
Bill: Open the door, shove the elephant in, and close the door.
SM Lee: No! You open the door, take the giraffe out, then shove the elephant in and close it. Now, if you were on a plane and it was going to crash because it was overloaded, what should you throw out? A VCR, A fridge, or 10 bags that were heavier than the other two added together?
Bill: I should throw myself.
Lee Kuan Yew: Got no parachute, lah!
Bill: Then of course the 10 bags lah!
Lee Kuan Yew: Wrong! The fridge. Because the fridge itself is lighter than the 10 bags but there is an elephant in it...goondu! Now, last one... there was this very beautiful princess by the name of Monica. One day, a witch cast a spell on her. Now anyone who was 100 meters away would die. Then this prince by the name of Bill decided to be a hero and save her. Actually he wanted to have sex with her later. But he died 300 meters away. Why?
Bill: Don't know.
Lee Kuan Yew: Because you throw the fridge on him, mah!

The art of cowlanders ....

As usual, I'm procrastinating my work again!!! First paper of my exams starts on 14th of June which is next Thursday!!! Aiya... Scary!

Sorry for any Cowlanders who are reading but this is JUST PLAINLY MY POINT OF VIEW!

Well, today, a friend of mine came over to Auckland to visit her boyfriend, so we met for lunch with another few people that I know from past.

The reunion started with usual greetings, subsequently, we fell into a conversation of asking what have each of us been doing for the past 6 months as we haven't seen each other for that period. It was just amazing to hear how cowlanders to have a certain point of view towards their local retail stores.

One of them started with, "Oh, I went to Dressmart yesterday, it is so crappy and things are so cheap, just crap shit! " .

Hm... Dressmart is a plaza in Auckland that sells the exact , same retail brands that can be found on Queen Street or Newmarket. However, the difference is , they sell things which are one season old or even longer. Which means 'outdated' fashion. It is definitely cheaper than what its' usual price is.

I was just wondering... How could categorize these 'outdated' fashion as crap shit just because its too cheap or a season older? Hm... Then i guess this cowlanders have to throw away plenty of things every season, if not wouldn't those 'crap shit' make them A WALKING PIECE OF JUNK CRAP? Perhaps, their wardrobe is filled with cloths that are labeled as 'Made in year 2007' and still selling on the statues posing right behind the polished window of the retail stores on Queen St to make them 'A normal human'? I might have such thoughts towards this minority group of Cowlanders because of the many other reasons that they have imaged themselves as, from the past. Sorry to say, kampung boy living in the city. Weird huh? Living in a city but working in a suburb just because its cool to live in the city.

Then, he continue the conversation by saying "But its just stupid to spend one extra zero just to get something from brands like Louis Vuitton or anything sold in the Galleria."

Well.... I strongly recommend that the education and campaigns here shouldn't emphasize so much on green peace, human rights, how good their nature is that provides superb quality for breeding superb grades of cows and quality of their products produce. But in other forms of general knowledge as well.

A question for you:
"Do people spend another Zero at the end of a price tag for the brand they are buying?
or for the quality they are buying?
or for the after service and patents they are buying?
or the unique style that just simply amaze them?
or because of pride?
or because are stupid to spend another extra zero for some so called 'branded' brands?

For myself, I do not deny that I view it from a certain point of view. For example, many have spent thousands of dollars just to buy a piece that makes them feel prestigious among others. But no doubt, the thousands of dollars are spent for brands which are well trusted in this world, that have patents and trademarks that can guarantee consumers not only in talks of law for their product but also the reputation for producing superb quality products comparing to those two digit items selling at the store in each suburb.

Therefore, I'm just slightly confused with these group of Cowlanders after lunch, would I categorize them under A Walking Piece of Junk Crap, A Person Who Enjoys Up-To-Date Fashion and Good Understanding of the Quality of Products or A Person Who Simply Sways Towards The Crowds' View of Thoughts?
