The Strange Oddities in the World

As I was walking down 7-11, an air freshener caught my eye.


There were 2 things on my mind, first was "Who calls air freshener sai?". Secondly , I thought it was high time to post weird oddities around the world with my camera phone or by other sources.

This is what I got


#1: Spotted in Malaysia



#2: Average Americans?


#3: It's not nice to put an underwear commercial on a bus


#4: Spotted in Vietnam. "Hey waiter, this tastes like... oh never mind..."


#5: Alternative printing method if you ran out of ink.


#6: Action watch


#7: What to do if you ran out of brushes...


#8: Flat-screen TV?


#9: Do not enter...the fries cannot decompose...


#10: Talk about irony!


#11: A very strange Wanted notice


#12: Spotted in Germany. Maybe "Drive-In" was too literal a sign...


#13: One word: Yuck...


#14: Spotted in India. Might as well we don't visit the zoo...

The Day After the New Year Message

After a really long break since November, I've decided to return to the blogosphere. There are few things I want to discuss namely:

1. How to have New Year wishes,

2. Resolutions (more like what not to have as a resolution),

3. Some stuff I discovered in 2008

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. NEW YEAR WISHES

  • Be realistic, maybe aiming to colonise Jupiter by this year. Don't aim for unrealistic stuff such as vying for Pluto to be a planet again, that will never work. Mark my words.
  • Don't bother wishing stuff over New Year. Why do you think they have birthdays? I guess that cancels my first point.

2. RESOLUTIONS

  • Never say "Fulfilling my last resolution...". I nearly cringed with incredulosity when Hady Mirza said it after hearing this from many many many many other people, if you get my drift.
  • Don't bother making New Year resolutions. Who the heck fulfills them anyway? Do you?

3. SOME STUFF I DISCOVERED IN 2008

  • PDQ Bach
  • "Stayin Alive" is sang by a guy
  • That infectous chord progression is from "Good Golly Miss Molly" by Little Richard.
  • The song "Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone is in Romanian
  • Cher isn't a guy! (Hear the song "Believe" by Cher if you don't get it)
  • ACS (Barker Road) is a boys' school, not girl-deprived
