Murphy's Law

Ok,, so I didn't get many invitations this year to attend wedding dinners. A blessing, really. And considering I already have 6(!!) confirmed invitations next year. Year 2009 will be year of angpows-giving.

However, I have one dinner coming up this Saturday nite, which is only 2 days away..And yes, when you're really looking forward to something, the universe will conspire in all ways to ruin it for you...

For at this moment, I have a few HUGEEEE-ass pimples sitting on my face. I do normally get pimples, but not pimples relatively as big as Jumbo Jets..! Sigh, to think that i have to lug them to the dinner and have these suckers captured forever in photos..:-(

Now u know..

Reason to be super duper hardworking during appraisal month: Destitution might drive one to prostitution..:-PPPPP

Bah, humbug..

So uninspired..so I'll rant again..hehe..its my blog and i can rant if i want to..:-)

Well, for one, I hate the traffic. They say you'll get used to the traffic, jams and all, after a while. Fat chance, i still hate it even after i've been stuck in it hundreds of times. My leg gets tired and all other road users are still idiots (ok, so they probably drive better than me most times, but they're the ones who just had to be on the road with me at the same time thus jamming the roads thus are idiots). I have to plan all my schedules around traffic peak times and it disrupts my hip and happening life!! Hahha, ok, mayb i dont have a hip and happening life, but hey, mayb i would if traffic is smooth all day all hours...:-P

I don't like the new Digi ads as well, the ones with the ducks. I loved the Olympics ads where the Yellow man was so cute...but the ducks? Trying to be too cute and too funny, which everyone knows that if you try to hard, the humour just wont be there. So i say..bring back the simple and effective Yellow man....

Then i found out why the camping chicks are such airheads!! Coz they're air stewardessess!!! U know, the new ad showing how they were late to the airports. Hahha, i'm so politically incorrect, but hey, sue me.

Hmm, wat else that i've noticed lately? mmm...oh..the Tiger ad thats showing in cinemas is not bad. That one showing the 2 guys competing on who can get the more Tiger beers...I'd love to spend some time on the beach with that two..haha..

Ok, enuf ramblings...not so much ranting this time huh..Have a good Thursday...:-)

How in the brew hell.....

So amidst all the rantings and the emotional roller coasters lately, I've managed to gain weight! Fecking amazing! Maybe i'm just destined to be a 'bulat'..

Oh, bugger...

We really cannot eat anything these days. Ok lar, cannot eat anything from China at least, if you really must eat...



I bought this good tasting biscuits a while ago, finished bout 90% of it, and wham, received a forwarded mail and saw this report from Singapore...melamime detected in certain products, and yep, my biscuits in the list...



This is how it looks like..



Tomato flavour, quite yummy actually...



Details of it:-

Silang - House of Steamed Potato –
Potato & Tomato Cracker
(Made in China)
Melamime level detected.8.1 ppm



Dont think the level is tat high...(the White Rabbit candy's level is 67ppm to 160ppm, btw).. And you'd have to consume large quantities of it to be of harm. Hundreds of packets at least..



And the thing is I had given out the biscuits to other ppl to eat too, most notably is CY and my colleagues..aiks...so now i cant forward the mail out to them, or they might accuse me of poisoning them.. Really din mean to, peeps, I ate the bulk of the biscuits, so i;m the biggest victim here. Forgive me k...okay...now, who wants some unlabeled white milky candies with soluble/edible wrappers that i bought for 99 cents a carton from the nice lady with the beijing accent?? Factory overrun, she said. Wat a bargain!:-p
