All about status??? Blogshares???

I believe everyone cannot live without a status.
Not that indicator whether you are dead or alive.

(Just heard this from the radio:
"If you think that nobody cares about your life and death, try getting a loan from the banks or any credit facilities available, they will be contacting you soon... soon after...")

Although a sad fact, the chase of standing higher than your peers is always a bullish stock.
(For non-investors, it means rising stocks)

Without status, is there anymore meaning in my life?
(Hey, it’s your turn to ask yourself this question)

I can only admit that I can live without status for at least 80% of my life, not 100%. Anyone that tells you that he/she can live without status totally, is a big fat longer than the longggggggggggg Pinocchio liar.

So even blogs, such personal/public entries of your thoughts and expressions can be classified as a judgment tool of your popularity. Is that what it is all about? Popularity? Fame? Status?

To see your popularity, visit http://www.blogshares.com/ to find out how much your “blog” stock is worth, not only that, you can even see the investors making their pitch on you.
(To find your blog, you will need to use the search tool on the right hand side of the website)

But wait, whether your blog is popular or not, it depends on HOW you write it, not WHAT you write it.

If I will to present this whole page with just pure black typed fonts, will you come back again? Let me give you another presentation; if I were to use a bit more colours, add in a sexy lady/handsome hunk picture, will you be back for more?
(I will leave you to answer that…)

Now I shall leave you to indulge in more of my stocks… my status… my stories…

Star Wars Episode III

I am not here to promote the movie, nor here I am, to criticize the movie.I am here, because I caught the movie over the long weekend and I want to share my experience and happiness about the movie.

(Thank you dearling for watching the movie with me, although you were not feeling so well. I really appreciate that. Smuackie! )

Just to give you an agenda on what I will be touching on:

The likes and dislikes of the movie. Simply. Short. Sweet.

What I like about the movie:


(Don't you just love this green little long sharp pointed ear creature?)

1) The unchallenged speech by yoda. The profound yet thought provoking delivery just makes the movie solemn yet witty. Just an example if you cannot catch the ball:

Actual sentence: “May the force be with you”
Yoda’s sentence: “Be with you, may the force”
Interesting, really interesting.

2) Most of the engaging battles, light sabers are used in. (Do I sound right? Little green creature?) Even droids know how to wield a light saber, uh hmm, let me correct myself, is FOUR light sabers all at once. Unfortunately, not all of different colours.

First I thought he will make a good disco light re-mixer, but then again 4 against Obi Wan, he still lost. If you stare long enough at the spinning scene, you might just get yourself hypnotized. (They look like those 30” fluorescent light tubes eh?)

3) Last but not least, when your limbs get chopped off, you always get a replacement. So who the hell needs insurance? Just chop off your natural connections and get implanted with superior computerized mechanicals that will allow you to fly… (in time to come, for now, at least you can leap over the great wall of china)

What I dislike about the movie
(Beware: Dislike and Hate are two different thingy, don't confuse...)

1) Who put out the fire on Anakin? He was so near the lava yet SoMe Invisible STRONG wind managed to extinguish the blaze on him. Amazing? I would say definitely better than David Copperfield’s magic trick.

Does anyone care to explain? ME ME ME! I know the answer: “Because lead actors are not supposed to die in major production, especially he is to continue the chapter of the StarWars." Now that is acceptable. Next!

2) Just to name a few minor ones. Homing missiles on leading actors don’t work. Doors of any mothership will always close when they are inside. They can simply fly/operate any equipment they come into contact, even though half the ship is in pieces.

What I am unhappy about is that, how can they bear to let such a beautiful wife die after giving birth? However, I kinda like the “shelter” they used to cover Amidala’s torso when she is giving birth. Can I order one, Mr Lucas. George?

3) How can anyone live in a desert with such a small igloo house and the beautiful sunset view to admire everyday? That’s not fair, I wanna be there too. My son shall be named: Luka. (More towards the hokkien dialect) So next time I can tell him a story about “ Luka, Wa Si Ning Lau Pei “

Period.

- May the force be with you
If not, have pizzas and pastas -

Too fat to fit – Too TAF (TOUGH)?

Are your children being labeled as FAT just because they are in the TAF program? Some are slightly overweight, some are really overweight. So are we implying that overweight people cannot contribute to the society, cannot be scholar, cannot produce quality work?
(I don’t wanna go too far… People have new quota to meet, gotta catch new scapegoat for defamation, so beware bloggers, you and I might be next…)

Other children in the schools mocked at them because they need to skip their recess just to TRIM their extra FATS? What about those who are physically fit, able to pass the NAPFA test but still overweight, are they being sent to TAF as well?
If they are not, then please do not read any further. Thank you. (However I still feel that there is unjust to the Over-weight…)

[Let’s see the flip side]
Hey, that isn’t fair, the overweight got penalized, how about the underweight?
They just got away with being THIN.
Just because most of the artists, models and famous people are “THIN”, that’s why we have to follow?
Any theories behind it? (Don’t bring the “health” thingy to say, if not we will just cut off the cigarettes and burn all the SATURATED fat oils altogether)

No more deep fried stuffs, no more ice-cream, no more laksa, no more more more… We will just live with boiled and steamed foodstuffs. Steamed curry puffs anyone?


Is the measure of health determined by Over-weight and Under-weight?
From what I know, Over-weight people will have a HIGHER risk of contracting most the major illness and prone to whatever diseases.
So are you saying that the Under-weight WON’T? ARE you that 100% sure?

So whatever that has a HIGHER RISK, we cannot practice?
Let’s see whether we agree on the following comparison?
1) So a person working in oil industry carries a HIGHER RISK than the average office worker?
(So where are you going to get your petrol and gasoline from?)
2) So a person driving/riding is subjected to a HIGHER RISK than those taking the MRT?
(Why are we selling cars and motorcyles then offering them insurance?)
3) So a non-smoker inhaling 2nd hand smoke is having a HIGHER RISK than the 1st hand smoker? Then shouldn't we all be first????????????????? (Hahhahahahaa)

Enough said. You may argue that those points are invalid, unrealistic.
Come on, realistic, elastic, plastic, I don’t care what stick, all I know that you own your life, you decide.

There are risk everywhere, it depends on how individual HANDLES the RISK factor. That’s about it! MANAGING RISK. When you know how to manage, RISK is not an issue. (Just like a piece of tissue)

[Sorry, got a bit carried away, gotta control my emotions, coming back to the FATTY issue]
Didn’t you see the latest fat beauty pageant contest in Thailand?
(Oh ok, now I am not suppose to compare with other countries, FINE!)


How about a programme called “FUCP” (Fattening Underweight Children Program – I intend to use “Kit” for the last word but that will sound like I am complaining) to increase their mass to reach the Optimal weight?
(If you thinking of using it as your program name, please ask for my permission, if not, I’ll get my LAWYERS to SUE your backside upside down. Intellectual Property law applies. Now very serious, don’t PLAY PLAY - PCK)


*Don’t stop me! Don't pull me!* Let me ask this deep and provoking question:
When do we have our own lives to ourselves?
Can we make such a simple decision on our own?
Can we?
The answer is clear = NO. NO. NO.
You own your life to someone out THERE. If it is not someone, then it is something (the society).
Now I understand why Jon Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life” is so famous, until now. (Personally, I like that song a lot. *shows the “L” sign in the air* while shaking my body)


Let me put it in another perspective:
How about you undergoing certain reforming training and everyone else is laughing at you? How will you feel? Imagine that being slammed at the child, in primary schools.

Aren’t you having fun at that age? Why spoil their childhood memories? They are already lacking all the nostalgic sand-based playground, the marbles, five stones and bubble band trilogy activities that we have enjoyed. (Because they are our future?)


I understand that measures are required to put certain issues under control. What I am saying is that, do you need to implement it at such a young age?
To hell with the theory of START YOUNG, I prefer my way of “Be Rich”.
Anyway, you go to school just to get an education, proceed to university, get a job, tRy to be rich. But once you are there, you can do what you like.
Open a café to sell OnLy DEEP FRIED CHICKEN WINGS.
So? You decide!

nothing compared to those children who suffered the humiliation -

I salute.

Urinals

Today we are going to analyze about toilets. Particularly Urinals! Just because I am a lady who uses Urinals in men’s restroom? (Do you actually believe that?)

Well there is a vast variety of urinals in the market. Just like humans: tall, short, fat, thin, rounded, oval, automatic and manual. In case you have not stepped into the men’s toilets, here is an opportunity OF a LIFETIME for LADIES to visualize the urinals.





I was just trying my luck to get more pictures to educate the female population and indeed there are websites around to HIGHLIGHT the different types of urinals used in public places.

Here you go : (http://www.flipdick.com/ – I am not the owner of the website, I don’t get paid for promoting, however if you think I deserve the recognition, please send a blank cheque to “69 Lifeconcept Street, Singapore 690069”)

Different urinals cater to different people from different walks of life. I wonder what is the title for those people who design urinals? “Urinals Designer”, “Urine Architect”?

There are only two ways to use the urinals:
ONE : Unzip whatever you are wearing, struggle through the jungle and SHOOT!
TWO: Unzip, unbuckle, lose the pants halfway, aim and FIRE!

I really admire those do the method TWO, they can hold their pants at the level under the torso, aim the at urinals and SHOOT! Now, who say men cannot MuLtItAsK? (Quoted from a book by either John Gray, or Allan Pease and Barbara Pease… Men, Women, Mars, Venus, Whatever. I think it is just a bull of crap to shame the men, RIGHT GUYS?)

This thought of writing about urinals was inspired when I was making my rounds to the toilet. This article is written solely for entertainment and out of inspiration.
If you are offended, please blame the designers and architects.

Follow to win??? Marketing???

Trend!
A simple yet sophisticated word!

Is trend the only way out for retailers and companies to vie for consumers’ money?

Let me show you a few examples:

First you have banks offering REITs funds, (“OCBC”)
After one starts, the rest will follow… (“DBS and UOB”)

First you have condominium at Mt Emily (“Heart of Orchard Area”)
Then you have condominium at Mt Sophia (“Heart of Orchard Road”)

First you only have 3 ADSL internet speeds (“Singtel”)
Now you have 3 broadband internet speeds (“Starhub”)

First you have long flights going on sale. ("A Great Way To Fly")
Then you have budget flights going on sale. ("A Value To Fly")

First you have platinum credit cards marketing, (“ABN Umbro”)
One after another will advertise their platinum privileges (“American Express”)

First you have lucky draw to win car (“SMRT”)
Then you have lucky draw to win cabriolet (“Standard Chartered”)

First you have sale in the retailer shopping malls (“Great Singapore Sale”)
Now you even have sale in BANKING sector (“HSBC 25% sale”)

What’s next?
What more?

Well something new by one of our local banks, UOB Lady’s Account.
Trust me, the copycats are going to following suit soon. Dare to gamble on that?

SEND IT - Measures to counter spam

Just another mid week wednesday...

Today I am going to share some techniques in dealing with people whom like to send spam to you. Espically those by post with return envelopes will be the best victims.

[Just read this off an email, contents are modified to protect myself from being sued]

When was your last bill payment notice sent to you with just a return envelope only? NO! NEVER. They are taking this opportunity to flood your house with mostly uninteresting offers that you are not going to enjoy. Or at least, unamazing offers with predictability.

Now it's your turn to return them a favour telling them that they need to PAY for their spam! Nothing is free in this world right? But in order to do that, little action will be required from you.

[TO DO]
Whatever they sent you, just put them back in the return envelope provided, (pre or post paid, doesn't matter, as long as it is addressed to them) and sent it back, Viola! This is what the Chinese say: "You Lai You Wang" (You send me, I return you), just like the tradition whereby oranges are exchanged between two parties during the Lunar New Year festival.

What will happen if you keep your hands off it? Nothing right? YES, nothing! So to make them realise the fact, all you need to do is to walk by any MRT station, post offices or even bank branches (anyway it is their letter, rightfully it should go back to their owner) to drop that return envelope with all their SPAM inside.

(*Caution*, please remove all materials containing your name or account in it, if not, you are in for a joy ride. Well, it might not be a bad thing after all, they might just employ you to be the next marketing consultant, try your luck! *Cheers*)

Until they start marking each return envelope with a serial or account number, rest assured that I will inform you. Till then, happy sending. If you like, you may want to practise their CEO's signature to indicate the importance of this "RETURNED" mail. Hahahahha. *Oops* Wrong advice.

To start off, there are a lot of Credit Cards application lurking around the shopping malls, just fill in your joy and anger and sent it !!! In any even that you are happy without somebody to share with, Citibank will always be there for you, across islandwide major shopping malls

Happy Mother's Day in advance too, just in case I don't have the time to write it.
