Kids say the darnest things

Heard about this from my mum:

My dad was going out to throw the rubbish when this happened:
Neighbour's kid: Uncle, why aren't you wearing a shirt?
Daddy: Cos the weather's too hot.
Neighbour's kid: Ah. You don't have money to buy a fan?
Daddy: *Speechless*

My mother was laughing like crazy in the background when she heard this. Naturally when the story got to me, I was laughing like mad as well.

Hana Yori Dango-Tsukasa Domyoji

After watching the Taiwanese and Japanese versions and giving the Korean version a glance. I realised the hairstylists for all 3 versions just cannot get Domyoji's hair style right. This is what Tsukasa Domyoji's hair should really look like:

Boring week

Well, nothing much happened this week besides work plus more work. Looking on the bright side, we're approaching the end of the year and things will hopefully slow down. I really hope the weather would stop being so erratic- It was raining throughout the whole week but super warm on the weekends!

Short film.

Saw this video while doing some random blog reading. It's a great short film about communication. Though let's hope that people do not go to work looking so jaded like the male character at the start of the film.



A great thank you to fashionation for posting this in their blog. This short film is one of the 2009 Cannes Lions winners.

I'm currently in love at the moment... with 2 people, although one isn't exactly alive or human.

Food for thought?

I was surfing the net, getting my daily dose of fashion news when I came across this youtube video about the model Vlada Roslyakova. In the video, they acknowledge her as their thinspiration princess. Being the mountain tortoise that I am, I went to google the word "thinspiration" and what I found was quite shocking. According to wikipedia.org, thinspiration is a word derived from people who view their "thinspiration" as people they want to be as thin as. This people are usually "Pro-ana" which means they promote having anorexia nervosa as a lifestyle choice.

When I read the articles, I was like what the @#$%&*! These people are crazy, they even have blogs to "help" their fellow "Pro-ana"s lose weight (to skeletal proportions) and suggest ideas to avoid detections by doctors and families. I mean I'm always ranting on and on about going on diet (which never happens) but what these people are doing borders on insanity. Sometimes you never get some people who drive themselves to self-destruction.

Boffin

I learnt a new word today (Points to the word in the title). Somehow I don't know if I should feel insulted or flattered should someone calls me this.

From wikipedia.org:
In the slang of the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, boffins are scientists, engineers, and other people who are stereotypically seen as engaged in technical or scientific research. Also, a boffin is a particularly clever person. 'Boffin' is an insult used by British teenagers. American equivalent is "Egghead".

This is just a post derived from my random thought process, if you do not like to read such entries please move on. Thanks...

After reading someone's blog, I sorta agree with that person to a certain extent.(So GP essay rite) Sometimes, meeting up with friends become such as chore because the other parties are super busy or that people cancel last minute or they just cannot commit their time to the outing. Sigh... Somehow, you will seem like the super free one or desperate one cos others are so busy yet you're so free to organise the outing and go for it. I admit that there are times when people can be really busy as I have that experience before. But it's tiring to be the organiser and having to coordinate the timing etc.

A belated apology and sorry in advance if I've been in the role of the other party that keeps running out of the appointment. I'll be more understanding in the future and attend my outings.
