Purple skies, lightning without thunder, the orchestra of death.
Beautiful.

I dislike kentangs

Calbee~

It all started with the old Calbee BBQ Chips... *digs for pic on the net* *can't find any*

Was an elongated bright yellow foil pack with it's trademark mister-universe-banner potato at the front. I've spotted it tonnes on Hongkong drama serials, but apparently the new packaging took over for good.

Those chips were simply the BEST I've ever eaten in my life, perfect crunch, perfect aroma, perfect 咸度 and decently sliced. The only complain's how prone it was to mishandling... choose the wrong packet and you come home with potato powder. The chips did not taste like BBQ at all though, was something so unique it's one of a kind.

Sidetrack: If you're looking for BBQ Chips, Ruffles has them.


Calbee then unleashed it's second wave of goodness - 热浪！ The grandfather of all Hot & Spicy potato chips. The excellent blend of spices and paprika made you tingle and crave for more after each bite, like an addiction. And then there's the somehow-fascinating foil packet that you could stare at all day while happily crunching away.


And while Twisties dominated the Singapore market, people who knew their snacks picked up Grill-a-Corn - a far superior corn snack. G.A.C had a robust baked-corn flavour and did not leave grains unpuffed, or sticks overcoated with seasoning powder. By then, 我已经是卡乐B的人了...

God must've wanted to stop me from sinning any further; because one fine day, all me favourite Calbee snax disappeared! No more BBQ Chips, no more 热浪, no more Grill-a-Corn! Some big conspiracy left me a broken boy, never to see his favourite 零食 again...




Years down the road, Calbee snax began to repopulate the shelves of me neighbourhood Econ Minimart and NTUC. But they were no longer the same, sub-par looks and futile attempts at imitating their past products left Gary disappointed time and time again =(

I miss the old Calbee....

It's tiresome to watch fools.

It's fun and saddening at the same time to watch the young people go.

Peter Jackson's King Kong

Breathtaking, Emotional, slightly lengthy, but still Excellent.
A must-watch for this decade.

My favourite singers (in no particular order)

张智成，杜德伟，梦飞船，游鸿明，林俊杰，动力火车，郑中基，苏永康, Corrinne May, 蔡健雅，Bee Gees, Utada Hikaru, Luther Vandross.

There are plenty of other good singers and songs out there, but these are the few I really really really like =)

Back to TJC...

's bus stop to distribute flyers for a tuition centre. Ka-ching! $8 for the day! I wonder why everyone says I'm dumb for taking up such a job? Short hour (not even plural!), decent pay, can watch the sun rise, what's bad about it?

So I was near my former school, and I watch students pass me by. You know, it's like watching the river of time mock you. I think my heart wrenched, to see that familiar place in that familiar frame of time, it's really sad how fast we age, too sad...

I wanna be a student there again...

The new Zinger!

Shrunk in size =_=
KFC must think all it's customers are idiots.
First they tremendously reduce the quality of their chicken.
Then they shrunk the Colonel burger and changed it's patty.
Now they shrink Zinger.
Yes we can't see everything you do KFC, you tempt my boycott.

March is a punishing month.

What good is a blog...

when no one reads it?! Xiaxue gets 200 comments for her crappiest post (with no content) yet I don't get any for all my efforts! It's tough to be a blogger and an attention seeker at the same time =(

Xiaxue needs to tell me how she attracts all the blog whoreshippers...

嗨...

我一辈子都在逃...

My mum...

thanked her God for MY fucking results.

and my brother

wondered why his slacking half-gene could do well.

I <3 my family.

McDonald's Hamburger

Except for Carl's Junior's, I've basically tried every fast food chain's hamburger. But nothing rivals what?! Mac's?! That's like unpossible! Because everyone knows Mac serves food of the lowest quality with probably a bottle of artificial flavour + preservatives in everything on the menu.

I first tasted Mac's Hamburger thanks to Xiongxiong, a secondary school choir-mate of mine. Apparently he likes those and their Cheeseburgers lots, and it's freakishly entertaining when you see him sniff in all the goodness of his Ham/Cheeseburgers like a drug addict. He would always tell me, the way to enjoy Mac's Ham and Cheeses is to smell, then bite. Till now, I never questioned his formula, because that's how everyone should eat those!

The first reason why Mac's Hamburger tops my list is cause of the well-pressed beef patty. No doubt it's low quality meat, but the way it's minced far surpasses many restaurant burger patties. Large veins are a minimum, and those things really can really spoil a burger. Then there's the nice toasty feel that you always get from those, removing dreaded moisture and giving a baked aroma to the buns.

McDonald's also always happy to customise your burgers, which is a great service to any food outlet. Their hamburgers are good by default, but you can easily get them to take out that overly-pickled cucumber, add more onions, and pass on the ketchup. All in all, it's fun to experiment with how you want that $1.80 to turn out time after time.

Score: 8.1/10

Maybe I should stop one-line posts.

Cheap lessons

For $10, you can actually find out a great deal about yourself. I just did.

Some people don't shut up until they are really dead. Fucking hell.

Sex Appeal

After a day of work at the IT Fair 2006, I begin to despise marketing with sex appeal. Scantily clad girls with heavy make-up distract males too much, and that includes me. I would honestly grab any and have sexual intercourse on the spot if it was a legal activity. But! It's all see and no touch! So that's really bad for health when you watch those seductive smiles, short skirts, and hip tattoos in front of you for a whole 12 hours.

By arousing instinctive interests of males for the purpose of business and profits is something I hereby consider to be one of the lowest class of marketing. And being someone with little regards to ethics, this must be really a spit-worthy strategy for me to dislike it much. As much as I consider myself to be an animal, this is too much!

*fantasizes about show girls*

Talents are such beautiful things to watch.

0) True
1) Trustworthiness
