i love the whole world: boom de yadda!

Have u seen this ad campaign ran by Discovery Channel where they put together the hosts from various Discovery shows to sing about the world? Alaa.... yang ada nyanyi boom-de-yadda tuh? Oh that was one of the best ads I've seen this year. Bila tengok iklan tuh rasa cam nak nyanyi sama pulak. At the end of it... dia tulis "the world is just awesome". Yep! Awesome indeed. It made you realize the miracles of this wonderful world... things to discover and so much more. Apa? Korang tak pernah tgk? What? Korang tak langgan Discovery Channel? Biztuh korang langgan channel hiburan ngan kartun saja ke kat Astro? Tsk... tsk..  Nah... tengokla sendiri kat link bawah ni... Just how many Discovery shows would you be able to recognize from the ad?

What do you smell like?

Just the other day I told my colleague that I have 7 different perfumes at home. He thought I was joking…. Huh? Adakah gila jika mempunyai 7 perfumes? Nope, I beg to differ…. I like to smell different for different occasions. Mari kita lihat what kind of perfume yg ada atas rak baju I….

 

  1. Perry Ellis Reserve Cologne for Men aka my main perfume. This is the one that I spray before going to work. People at work will recognize me by this smell. Cemaner nak describe the smell? Cuba tanya my colleagues. Kalau ikut website: This masculine scent possesses a blend of fresh and aromatic, florals and herbs with warm low notes of amber, musk and wood. It is recommended for evening wearahh… evening wear kemenda… ikut suka la kita nak pakai masa bila.        




  1. Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren. Bought it a couple of years back, tapi sampai skang tak abis2. Smells fresh… perfume ni I cuma gayakan kalau nak gi makan or tapau kat KFC kijal… mungkin staff KFC dah kenal bau ni. Hehe…    



  1. Truth Cologne by Calvin Klein for Men. Saiz kecik jer. A friend at work sold it to me. Initially it was meant untuk disimpan kat locker ofis. In case sebelum meeting petang, badan berbau hangit pas wat keja lam plant, leh la tonyoh2 skit. Anyway, it ended up tersadai di atas rak baju. Dipakai untuk ke pasar malam kerteh.

 



  1. Starwalker by Mont Blanc. Kalau ikut description: This      spectacular scent includes a mixture of bergamot, tangerine, bamboo, ginger, sandalwood, white musk, amber, and nutmeg. Ntahla… kalau ikut hidung I, ianya berbau sweet. Terpengaruh ngan Ming Chai la nih… later I found out dia pon terpengaruh ngan org lain jugak… hish… Perfume yg sesuai digayakan for outing to Kuantan or Kemaman. 

 



  1. Lacoste Essential Cologne. Citrus, fruity scent… one of my fave currently. Pakai masa nak jalan2 di KL. Atau masa nak gi training. I was influenced by GQ magazine. They gave free sample… melekat pulak.



  1. Cool Water by Davidoff. Uhuh… Zach claimed that Ashraf Sinclair also used Cool Water. Tak tau la btol ke tak. (Ashraf Sinclair… if somehow you read this can you confirm kan u pakai CW?). Yang pasti, it is currently being endorsed by Josh Holloway from Lost. Heh… I may look nothing like Ashraf or Josh, the least I can do is to smell like them… yes! Currently digunakan untuk jalan2 ke KL (switched alternately with Essential).
 

  1. The Body Shop (Zestini, Aztique & Velique). Tiga serangkai beli sekali kat OU last year. Saja beli… they were actually meant for my sister.. tapi terpakai sendiri pulak. Bau feminine la sket… ahh… like who cares? Dipakai untuk dinner kat warung tomyam atau nasi ayam hainan kerteh. Tak pon untuk membeli belah di pasaraya L-Mart kerteh. Hahaha… lagipon this is the cheapest of all the perfumes I have… bleh la abiskan sesuka ati. (No pic available)
  1. Paris Hilton Cologne for Men. Bak kata Paris…. That’s hot! Kat description kotak perfume dia tulis, this is the smell that Paris Hilton wants on his man. Haha… Sorry honey! Ever since you came out with that sex vid, I don’t care how hot do you think I am, I’m not gonna date a slut! Anyway… your perfume smells nice. Tak tau nak pakai masa bila… baru jer beli.                                                                  


So there goes the list… huh? There are 8 instead of 7? Hahah…. Tuh sebab I baru beli Paris Hilton. I’ve burst my budget for perfume this year… so the next one will have to wait next year. Ada sapa2 nak present perfume tak untuk besday? Let me know yeah!

Mari menonton movie: Wall-E


I was in KL recently sebab ada course which my boss forced me to go. I don’t really mind sbb course kat KL means I can balik kampong and get paid at the same time. The whole course took two days (seb baik dua hari jer, thank goodness…. The course was boring, dengar tajuk pon dah tau – “Scheduled Waste Management Training”). The venue was somewhere in Kota Damansara, so pas abis course I didn’t exactly went straight home…. Kena la buat diversion to One Utama dulu. Kebetulan dah lama tak tgk movie. So I went to GSC OU to check out what’s hot on the silver screen. Turned out ada banyak jugak movie yg tak tgk lagi. After much deliberation, I narrowed down my choices to 3 finalists:

1. The Mummy III: sequel to The Mummy I and II. I loved the previous two simply because I love everything about the ancient Egypt. But this one was about the mummy in China… huh? Say what? The Chinese had mummies too, eh?

2. Rogue: about a crazy croc running amok in an Australian river. My previous experience told me that this movie was going to be bad… any flick with crazy supersized animal chasing and eating people…. Bad! Remember Komodo? (Exception for Jaws though)

3. Wall.E: Pixar’s latest animation. I love Pixar’s…. Toy Story, Ratatouille

After eliminating Rogue I had to eenie-meeni-mynie-moe between wall.e and the mummy and it finally came down to wall.e. (I was heavy towards wall.e anyway). So I purchased my RM 9 tix from the counter and bought some popcorns in case I got hungry while watching the movie (selalunya memang lapar masa tgk movie).

Bila masuk panggung dah gelap… ish… awalnya derang tutup lampu. Seat kat tengah pulak. I had to tip-toe my way to get to my seat… itu pon terpijak kaki 2-3 orang… excuse me… oops… sorry… oh… was that your foot? (org yg dipijak kaki tu mesti menyumpah). After some annoying commercials, movie pon start…

Wall.e was a story about a lonely robot called… well, what else… wall.e lah! Wall.E was actually an acronym for something which I could not remember. This robot was actually designed to clean up Earth by compacting trash into cubes and arranging them into tower-like structure for disposal. Masa tu, the entire human race had already left the Earth in a huge space ship called Axiom while Wall.e mengclearkan all the sampah, maklumlah, manusia nih kan malas. There were many Wall-e’s created initially but only one survived. I suspected those robots were not programmed to have sex thus they could not procreate. Oh… poor thing…

So human yang tinggal kat kapal Axiom nih pon send a fembot (I believe it was a female based on its voice even though I couldn’t see any boobs) to spy on Earth, to check whether it was able to sustain human life after being left for 700 years. Nak dijadikan cerita, Wall-E and this fembot called Eve (tapi Wall-E insisted on calling it Eva) pon bertemu and Wall-E fell head over heels with Eve. Once Eve berjaya mendapat specimen tumbuhan hijau sebagai evidence that Earth was still livable, dia pon kena hantar balik ke Axiom. Si Wall-E nih pulak kan dah jatuh chenta ngan robot betina tuh, terikut sama naik spaceship back to Axiom.

Kat atas Axiom nih mmg ramai manusia… but they were all fat…big and fat! Sebabnya, derang nih dah biasa ngan kemewahan…. No need to walk, no need to brush their teeth, no need to use their hands to eat… sumernya ada robot yang tolong. Patut la gemuk! Nak berinteraksi sesame sendiri pon tak payah toleh2 ke sebelah… ada personal skrin right in front of their faces. Kapal nih ada kapten named Jason. Setelah mendapat tau salah seekor robotnya berjaya mendapat specimen tumbuhan dari bumi dia pon excited la nak balik ke bumi…. Tetapi dalam mana2 cerita musti ada evil character… haha…. In this story, it’s the computer that controlled the ship. Kompiter nih kalau bleh takmo org balik ke bumi sbb dia dpt arahan 700 tahun dulu mengatakan bumi dah tak selamat. So it held the captain captive.

Long story short, atas campurtangan Wall-E n Eve, Capt Jason berjaya membawa balik manusia2 gemuk tuh ke bumi. Hahaha…. Happy ending. Cerita nih mmg banyak moral values… antaranya…

  1. Don’t pollute the Earth…
  2. Technologies make life easier but not necessarily better.
  3. Jangan makan banyak sangat… pastuh tak exercise pulak… you will end up like one of those humans in the ship. Gross!

Cukuplah 3 pengajaran… Go and watch this movie yourself. My final rating untuk Wall-E: 4.75 stars. Selamat menonton!

Next on my list of must-see this summer… Mamma Mia! The trailer looked promising.

Fasha & tandas

Hihi... I purposely put Fasha in the title hoping that it would attract some Fasha's fanatics out there to read my blog. The truth is I'm not writing anything on Fasha today. Oh come on... haven't you read enough on Fasha lately? She's everywhere in the tabloids and cheap trashy magz. Sorry dear... I don't feel like thrashing Fasha today. 

And this brings us to the 2nd part of the blog which is on tandas. Specifically the tandas at my workplace. Pernah x masa korang tgh rushing nak buang air besar kat tandas duduk, dah gelabah2 bukak sluar, sekali masa nak landing your butt on the toilet seat, baru terperasan kat toilet seat tu ada cecair kuning tinggalan jibraun yg guna tandas sebelum tuh? And it just so happened that the tandas u were in, dah kehabisan tisu? Urghhh.... this happened to me so many times and every time it happenned I had to curse a little (no... a lot actually... but I just couldn't say the nasty words out loud fearing that my colleague would hear me and think that I'm a lunatic). Lepas habis menyumpah seranah tuh, terpaksa guna air paip untuk sembur2 sket the yellow fluid. Geram pulak rasa... frankly, I don't care what technique you use to pee... nak berdiri ke, nak duduk ke, even nak baring sekali pon... buat laa... yang penting aim la btol2 ke mangkuk tandas tuh. Bukannya aim merata sampai ke toilet seat dan ke lantai. Pastuh tak reti2 nak basuh hasil tinggalan korang. Lagi satu, kalau dah tau your aim isn't that good, angkat la dulu seat cover tuh sebelom peeing. Oh... is that too difficult? Or do we need to put a user manual on how to use the toilet?

Congratulations! Welcome to the toilet!

You are in toilet PECTRL cubicle 3 version 2.0
Please lift the toilet seat cover if you want to pee while standing. For those who prefer to sit, gently put your butt on the toilet seat and adjust your position accordingly. And yes.... you need to take off your pants first. 

For peeing while standing, look for the hole with water in the toilet bowl. Aim carefully for that hole and start peeing. If you are not able to aim correctly at the hole, your p***s is probably too short. Please try peeing while sitting next time you moron!

For peeing while sitting, you do not need further instruction. Do your business, flush the toilet and leave. If you still think you need some guidance, then you are probably not smart enough to use this toilet facility at this workplace. Go home and do your business there... idiot!

Thank you for using this toilet facility. If you aren't sure whether you've flushed or not, by all means just flush again. The company is paying for the water. Feel free to waste it. For those who forget to flush, a CCTV will record your face and match it with your worker ID. (A notice will be sent to HR so that your salary can be deducted accordingly for bringing misery to other toilet users).

Have a good day and come again.

Hmm... that will definitely help a lot. U think so?
