Fun

Sis mailed me some of these fantastic advertisements.

On buses:

Jaws!


0_0! I c u! :D

Camera..

Ah now we know where to find vertical guillotines.

What appears to be a disc-jammer. Looks kinda like a pinkish-purple stove too.

Smint mints, for refreshingly minty kisses? :D

Dog food advert. Hehe.

and.. THIS
is the best.

Sheer brilliance! Now why buses in Malaysia are such plain bores?



On paper/plastic bags:

What's in that bag? XD

Skipping ropes.

Hangman's noose.

Reach out to children with autism. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time should be put inside.

Panadol! Relieves... head-deforming headaches.



On paper cups:
Nothing much to say about this la. LoL!

Starbucks Coffee teethy cups. Is that little blue packet down there a mint?


People who came up with these ideas are geniuses. Just shows that creativity has no boundaries! =)

Devil

I want a PS3!

Final Fantasy 13 aside, this is another game that am majorly looking forward to. Devil May Cry4 !!

Just look at that! Doesn't it make you feel like playing it right away?

Lady is back with her usual short pants, this time looking somewhat masculine. Hmm.

There is also this new blonde chick, Trish. I haven't seen her in action just yet, but she looks sizzling. Tssss.



Check out the DMC4 Demo. The combos are simply ganas! Really impressive, propelling the creatures into the sky and launching into a deadly series of attacks. Starts with Deadly. Carnage. Brutal. Atomic. Smokin'. Smokin' Style. Super Smokin' Style.

Graphics are fantastic. I think Dante is spraying some fiery projectiles in multiple directions. Sexy!

From what i gathered from the demo (which is in Japanese), there are lots of different modes to play with.

This is a new feature of the game. Some sort of extremely long jump teleport ability, and is fascinatingly showcased in the demo.

Oh my god. Devil May Cry!!

Blogger

Oh dear. I just realized how unsociable i can get! When i was at the Blogger party i didn't really mingle. I tried walking around but people seem to be

i) mingling
ii) cam-whoring
iii) eating / drinking
iv) any combination of above options

and i was standing there feeling absolutely foolish. How do people successfully glide from 1 conversation to another, effortlessly making small talk, smiling and snapping pictures... I just cannot comprehend.

Reminds me of Bridget Jones's Diary when Bridget arrived at a party and didn't know anyone. She was supposed to run around yelling people's names with much required tone and gaiety. Which was what i was supposed to have done. Mental note: improve mingling skills.

***
Voila! My poster thingy for my booth. Took lots of time to fix it. Phew. And i owe mum lots for helping out.

Lots of feathers! =)

***
I'm kinda annoyed and regretful for not taking loads of pictures like any sensible blogger during the blogger party. I wanted to bring sis's Cybershot but she left it at Thur's. So i had to use mum's camera which wasn't really clear. Praps it's time to invest in a new camera? Will load those that i have soon.

Meanwhile, the awards during the party

Nuffnang's Most Promising Blogger award went to Doink-Just Me.

The iTalk Buddy creative write-up contest grand prize got snagged by Joshuatly. A PSP and special edition 4-eared-mascot soft toy. Sexy!

Runners up were curryegg and Mr and Mrs Imran. White PS2. And a thin one. Sighs. My ps2 is one of those huge chunky first edition ones.

Traffic Jam's most popular blog (most votes!) was this girl called Selene or something. They didn't announce her blog name but from what i gathered she was responsible for the voting booth at Traffic Jam. =)

So congrats to them for their hard work.

Though i didn't win anything, i got a goodie bag for participating. Heh! It contained:

Woolala! A cute four-eared-mascot soft toy. Pink as well! Now ain't it cute?

An iTalk buddy t-shirt, on which the four-eared-mascot makes yet another appearance.

A small container of.. breathmints. With iTalk printed on it. Pink again. =)

The Monash Ball

Come, come to the Monash Ball,
Where the fat are commonplace,
Where the demented wear lace,
Make haste! Make haste!
Pick up the pace.
Join the race, the race to
The Monash Ball.

Come, come to the Monash Ball,
Don't run off to the mall.
Ladies and gents we will call.
We'll be dancing in a hall,
Chicks and fellers on the wall.
Dance, scream, slip and fall,
Right here at the Monash Ball.

Yeah.. The Monash people will probably strangle me if they see this. Brrr.

Or worse, sue me for defamation. Must think of a disclaimer.

*The above poem is written solely for entertainment purposes, is not defamatory in nature and does not reflect the writer's opinion of the Monash Ball of Monash University Malaysia.*

So, sue me not!

Anyway. If anyone who reads this decides to "go, go to the Monash Ball", it is on the 21st of September @ Mandarin Oriental KL.

I don't really get the theme though, urgh. Film Noir.

Hmm. A film characterized by low-key lighting, a bleak urban setting and corrupt, cynical characters. Some examples: Sin City, V for Vendetta (v. bleak. v. corrupt characters), most Batman movies and perhaps the starting B&W scene in Casino Royale. Brrr.

P.S. The Incredibles got rented out! Bloody bloodies. So i got Lemon Biscuit's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Hmm. Can you consider that as film noir as well?

Suay

I found a ridiculous but hilarious Singlish dictionary website. Check this out.

SI BEH
(see bay)
Hokkien term meaning "very" or "extremely".

and...

SUAY
(sway)
Hokkien adjective meaning "calamity" or "catastrophe".

So combining SI BEH and SUAY = SI BEH SUAY, and that's probably what am feeling now.

Unlucky unlucky unlucky. Went for Dominos take out two days ago. And i didn't notice a small patch of water beside their leaking Coke cooler. And so... I slipped. Whooosh!

Newton's Second Law states that f=ma (force = mass * acceleration). Due to my tremendous mass, the force of my knee onto the floor when i sprawled over is SI BEH power.

Then of course, Newton's Third Law says that all forces occur in pairs, equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. So the floor exerts the same force onto my knee... And that is why.. I have a swollen bruise on my knee now. Sighs.

Worst thing is that the floor doesn't feel the pain. Dammit. It should've at least cracked or something, y'know, to make me feel better. Like "i knee the floor and the tile crack man. SI BEH pro".

But it didn't. Sighs. So i am now left with a throbbing knee.

And of course the SUAY-ness didn't end just there.

Went playing basketball earlier today. And i was bending down to take a futile swipe at Teckies' ball when we collided into each other. Head-to-head collision. Bang! Was kinda scared that his head might split open like a watermelon, him being all thin and skinny. I suppose i did more damage to him than he me. Anyway, i have yet another swell at the centre of my forehead. LoL.

Potential Newton's Laws analysis here but fuck it. Am a business student. Have forsaken physics.

On a whole a different note, i am thrilled to find this definition:

SOTONG
Malay for “squid”. Used to describe someone as rather inept or in a world of his own. Presumably, it comes from the squid’s emission of a cloud of ink, hence the popular phrase, “blur like sotong (!).” May be used as both noun and adjective.

Whee! That's me. In a world of my own. In a sotong blog of my own. =)
