God Damn!
Aaargh! Fokti (the place I store my pics) is going to start charging for its services! Now I need to find another place that's free. *sob* Taig! I need help here. Any ideas? And I need to find this new place by the 4th of November! *runs around in a panic*

Barry has friends!
Aren't they cute? Barry has found himself a couple of friends. (: I just love the Bearistas they routinely churn out.

Another addiction!
I am now addicted to sunflower seeds. Not just any type of sunflower seeds, only those from Dahouda will do. Of course, the ones in the green packing are way superior to those found in the red packing. The green packets I favour are seasoned with salt, sugar, aniseed and bay. I'm happily cracking open those seeds and munching on them now even as I type this. (: Good news is I smoke a lot less, hard to crack sunflower seeds with one hand and smoke with the other. Bad news is, cracked sunflower seed shells are everywhere.

Bubble Tea
So there's going to be a new shop opening directly opposite my shop. A bubble tea shop. Oh good grief, they are opening a tea shop directly opposite a Starbucks.

What is bubble tea? OK...Bubble Tea is the latest rage to hit Asia. An iced tea, with or without milk, shaken violently in a stainless steel shaker, till bubbles form. Viola! Bubble Tea! The more popular variations of the tea includes little pearls shaken together into the drink.

Try at your own risk, Hannah.

Keluarga Big Mac?
"Introduced systemwide in 1968, the Big Mac was the brainchild of Jim Delligatti, one of Ray Kroc's earliest franchisees, who by the late 1960s operated a dozen stores in Pittsburgh."

How nice of the people at McDonald's, they've come up with a whole family of Big Macs of every shape and size to fit any occasion.

*drumroll*

"Big Mac?Junior"
The Great Big Mac Taste - just smaller in size & at an affordable price

"Big Mac?
The classic. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. Billions served throughout the world.

"Big Mac?Extra"
The biggest Big Mac of them all. FOUR all beef patties for those who need more.

FOUR!

Survivor with Guns!
In a film that no one else could or would ever make, Kinju Fukasaku brings to us 42 high school students, left deserted on an isolated island, to kill each other off, in a last-man-standing scenerio, for a chance at freedom! And this, they call, Battle Royale!

The idea itself is pretty mundane, this could be another production of Lord of the Flies, Japanese style. BUT, the sight of 15 year old girls in school uniforms, petticoats peeping out from under their short skirts, long white socks reaching up to their knees, wielding deadly sickles, topped with a demented leer. Well...*cough*

Battle Royale gets a 3.5 out of a 5 Smiling Sun rating. One Smiling Sun for the girls in school uniforms, one Smiling Sun for the dashing leading man, Taro Yamamoto as Kawada, and one Smiling Sun for the sickle. And a half Smiling Sun for the training video the 42 students had to sit through.

"Molly is in perfect hands now, Molly is in the hands of...The Hurricane!"

The Hurricane
Height: 6-0
Weight: 191 lbs.
Federation European Champion

Stand back! There's a Hurricane comin' through!

Ready girls? *drool* The Hurricane is the newest, cutest, noblest superhero to hit our realm this year. His chiselled good looks, his sculptured hard body, his snazzy green custume, his feared special move, "Eye of the Hurricane" and his sexy motorcyle, the Hurricycle, all comes together in a fantastic package that is THE HURRICANE! (Excuse me, I need to swoon now. *swoon*)

There's no escaping the Hurricane!

My name is Veronica Wang, and I'm the Lost Prince of Singapore
My last serious game of V:tM was nearly a year ago. AIEEEKS! That session, if i remember correctly, my coterie of 5th and 6th genners had just waltzed into New Orleans after escaping from our enemies in Europe. We were shooting tequila at the side so we erm, thought it would be cool if we kicked out the current Prince and install my character as the new Prince. I still remember GM Nik's eyes nearly popping out of his head, and us, grinning foolishly as we planned the great take-over. Sipping from a jug of vodka ribena, I then decided it would be 'kewl' to have my character do the Evita thing from the balcony of the newly displaced Prince. It was all downhill from there.

AD&D 3rd Edition - Oriental Adventures
Mmm...I had my first 3rd Ed game yesterday. Kris just started an Oriental Adventure campaign and I actually sat down to create a character. After flipping through the OA manual, (and upon insistence, or rather, urging of the other players) I decided on playing an oriental human shaman, specializing in herbalism and creating talismen. (: Don't tell my DM this, but I still have not settled on a name, yet. Any suggestions?

Light at the end of the Tunnel
I just drew up my schedule till the end of the year. (: I have SOOO many days off, it's not funny! Of course, my schedule is subject to change due to countless of factors, but hey, I just like to think I might ACTUALLY get to clear all my outstanding rest days before the end of the year.

For example, *beam*, I'm in the midst of a 5 day break. Then I work for 2 days before another 2 day break. *hop* *hop*

Super-toys Last All Summer Long
I watched AI a couple of weeks ago, and till now, I have been obsessing on the one thing I want for Christmas this year : Teddy.

Which girl wouldn't need a toy which specializes in giving comfort, a toy which is cute, a toy which never answers back, a toy who is always within arm's reach, a toy which listens with all its heart, a toy which exists only for you, a toy which on top of it all, sews itself up when it's seams get torn?

I need one.

The bear's eyes regarded the boy unflinchingly. "You and I are real, David." It specialized in comfort.

This I bought
(: Yay! I just collected Shivaree's I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head from HMV. I can't wait to go home and tear the CD out of its pretty packaging. *cackle*

These I'm getting free
I'm at Chris' now, downloading songs from KaZaA for free. On my list, I have :
Coffee Stain - Sarah
Dance me to the end of love - Should be Thalia Zedek, but they listed it as Leonard Cohen. *shrug* I'd have to wait for the download to be over to be sure.

Songs I'm still looking for :
St Louis - Swan Vestas <-- I have no idea who they are, they don't even appear on the search. But who knows, I might get a hit later.
Finger Puppet - Banco de gaia <-- Help?
Bodo - Pale 3
Blackbirds - Erin Mckeown
World Looking In - Morcheeba

Oh! Days of Our Lives just started. Its been a month since the last time I caught an episode. Chris has to recap 30 episodes for me! Should be easy..Stefano's still doing evil deeds and the whole town of Salem are still oblivious.

I'm going home, I've done my time.
Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree... la la la la la...I'm HOME AT LAST! All the planned whining, all our well aimed mud-slinging, poison letter writing, anonymous threatening calls, etc, to my boss worked.

They've decided to send me back to my own shop. *beam* (:

Now I must rest. I've been on the road for the last 12 hours. Nah, MUD calls.

*sigh* Sadly, I am back home to attend a funeral today. I have about 20 minutes to go before I have to start on my journey back to Genting, again.

I should have just taken the next few days off, but no....work ethics demands that I take only one day off to rush back here early this morning, go to Singapore and spent quality time with Neek at the funeral, brave the wildes of the Causeway and come back home, then rush back to do an opening shift at Genting by travelling all night tonight. *groan*

Eeeks. Its already 11:38pm. I really should go. ):
