Seamonkey 1 : XBOX 1

The little white box is back from Game Semetary and with a vengence too. Newer, flashier and with more games.

I'll be waiting...

Is there another side to their story?

What has the Internet done for you recently? Downloaded some free music, caught glimpses of the latest celebrity sex tape or flamed your ex-husband who left you when you are seven months pregnant?

That's exactly what this to-be-mummy did here
http://mylittlenewhope.blogspot.com. This link was forwarded to me from a friend and I did my part by sending it to a couple of friends to get their POV on the entire situation.

Personally, I do feel much for the girl but on the flipside, Chilliseedz and Ribena were however more objective about the situation given that the "flamee" i.e. the husband has not spoken out yet. We wonder if he will start a blog to air his side of the story.

When things like this are available in such an accessible medium, it will get ugly, no matter how innocent it started out to be.

Is happily ever after still possible?

The Anniversary

Kenneth Cole and I came up with an ingenious plan celebrate the A. on a budget of $53.20 or some ridiculous figure in view of the big savings plan. You have been warned. Do not embark on this if you are trying to impress some new chick. She will probably think that you are being cheap.

It obviously cannot work because its December. Malls, credit cards and restaurants are all conspiring to take that last dollar from you with the seemingly "in-the-background" Christmas carols, the "exclusive" card privileges and the "eat-now-diet-later" buffets.

So I screwed the budget and signed us up for a CPR Heartsavers course instead. Sure its more than $53.20 but at least there will be some guaranteed heart pumping and mouth-to-mouth action.

Smashing Dirty 30!

GALS LETS PARTY TOMORROW?

REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN WE DRINK @ZOUK & GET REALLY DRUNK? WE SCREAM WHEN ITS RAINING MAN (OR AT LEAST I AM THE ONLY ONE SCREAMING). WHEN THE DRUMS ROLL AND THE BASS COMES, LARA LETS HER HAIR DOWN, SWINGS HER HIPS WHILE SEAMONKEY GRADUALLY MOVES TO THE BEAT AND RIBENA GETS COMPLETELY LOST WITH DONT KNOW WHO (HAHHAHAHAHA). DAYS WHEN OUR EYES ROAMED AND HIT ON THE SWINGING BACHELORS. DAYS WHEN WE DONT HIT OUR SACKS TILL 4AM AFTER THE DISCO CLOSES AT 3PM. DAYS WHEN YOU KNOW ALL MY DARK SECRETS COS I AM GONE WITH ONE FLAMING PIECE OF SHIT.

I MISS THOSE DAYS

RE-LIVED IT TOMORROW? MINUS THE FLAMING PIECE OF SHIT. MINUS THE PUKING.

Dirty 30

As Seamonkey puts it, rene's Dirty 30!

Dirty Thirty, Thirty Dirty, Dirty makes Thirty Dirty and Thirty makes Dirty Thirty. I sell seashells on the seashores.

How did these two words get coined together? Shed some light...pls will ya?!

Anyway, I recalled back the list of todos I wrote on this blog few months back. Here's check done/undone time~~

1) From 57kg, I wanna go right down to 52kg. So that's 5 kg to shed (NOT DONE)
2) Improve my golf skills to hit at least 150m (range I mean) (NOT DONE)
3) Pick up a dance or a language which I really like and continue practising for long term. (NOT DONE)
4) Go for an eyebrow re-embroidery. (DONE)
5) Do my eye lasik(DONE)
6) Do a gals night out at Bangkok and have really good fun. (NOT DONE)
7) Do something really impromptu - totally unplanned, totally unknown, totally "just do it" spirit. (NOT DONE)

2 out of 7 - this is no good!

Korean Dramas, iLike...

Am feeling warm and fuzzy after watching the Korean movie "My Girl and I" off Ch 62 (so much for a Sun eve, huh). And, Thank God for Korean Dramas... No i'm not an avid Korean Drama Fan but i must say that they do help when you're not entirely in the brightest of spirits and perhaps when you temporarily stop believing in meeting that special someone... am feeling so much better already... :)

Seamonkey 1 : XBOX 0

Kenneth Cole's XBOX 360 suffered the fate of the dreaded three Rings of Death (or ROD as most XBOXers affectionately refer to it). Which means I have his utter and complete attention during his siesta....well, till it gets fixed anyway. For the record, it wasn't me. It just died on him.

My life has changed experientially without the little white box. Really.

6th Sense, a penny for your thoughts? *evil laugh*

EQ

A sales job is likened to the job of a Geisha.

You have to entertain all different type of clients, ranging from clients who work in the mafia industry right down to the decent salesman who opens a provision shop or a multinational organisation.

Geisha calls for a skill of wide general knowledge, to be able to speak from proper business terms to mafia language, ability to pally with the rough, the irritating ones and the decent good looking ones.

Geisha smiles all the time, whether the client is nice or horrid, handsome or ugly, stupid or smart, irritating or watever. Its a case of smile, and all things will go well.

Even if the customer shouts, she smiles.

Even if the customer screams at her stupidity, she smiles.

Such is the life of a salesman.

A salesman like me, smiles infront, curses at the back, smiles infront and black face at the back. Laugh when the jokes are mediocre, praise the fella even when his hair's in a mess, act cool when you are hard up for that order, get close even though you wanna stay 1km away, pretends its the best deal when you know its not the best, apologises when you make mistakes and apologises when your colleagues make mistakes, treat them to what they like to eat not what you like to eat, then I just pray that dont like Indian food.

That is external PR

Internally, smile to your sales colleagues cos you know they have tips that will help you, have breakfast with them and take their sexist joke cos you know they have tips that will help you, pretend to be grateful when your boss helps you to get that Order when you know he is trying to outshine you, smile to your logistic colleagues cos you know you rely on them to send out your goods, smile to the accounts department cos you dont want them breathing down your neck on your customers' outstanding bill, smile to the warehouse people cos they can jump queue when you need them to.

Then, may I ask, who SMILES to me then?

Sorry but I am in a foul mood, super foul mood.

1408

Caught this show on DVD last night. Must add this to my favourite movie list.

The story goes, John Cusack a not so famous ghost writer writes about 10 haunted hotels. A much inspired writer with not so many enthusiastic fans, he continues his ghost trail despite his lack of popularity with the titles. Its a case of passion over reality.

His passion brought him to the Dolphine Hotel room 1408 in the busy streets of New York. 50 over deaths within a short time frame, and none last more than an hour in THAT room. Cusack's instinct was a clear mocking of the hotel manager played by Samuel L Jackson.

In the initial few minutes, he was still cool as a cucumber, still in his state of disbelieve, until the clock radio turn on suddenly with the timer reading from 60mins...counting down.

No one lasted for more than an hour.

He gets transported to different worlds, a world of pain where he sees his daughter Katie and his aging dad, to a world of witnessing the past few residents who stayed in 1408, how they committed suicide due to despair. Poor Cusack asked for help, they send people to his room. But Cusack wasnt there, he was clearly in the spiritual realm that he never believed in.

Fast track...did he last an hour?

He died, story doesnt show if he lasted an hour but I believe he didnt. I might have missed this part cos I was on the phone for quite a while...someone tell me if you have seen the show.

At the end of it all, did he believe the spiritual world now? I am sure he did, but it was too late.
