Poop Your Ideas, Literally!

Here's something for you guys who likes puzzles as well as spending long times at the toilet. The company's website says that each square of the roll is printed with a different mind bending puzzle or game (in colour), that'll sure to keep you occupied while you are otherwise occupied.Very creative, and yet, very gross.

Sleep Like a Baby

There's a new guy in my extended family. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce, Devan. At barely two months, he already has lots of hobbies, to name a few, making his big brother (my other nephew) jealous, staring at random people and shiny objects, crying until he gets what he wants, and smiling without any noticeable reason. But sleeping is the one thing that he excels the most. He seems to have found the ideal sleeping position, flat on his tummy. Until scientifically proven, we can only give credence to these pictures (taken discreetly without his consent, so, keep it hush-hush, everyone)




If that's not the most satisfied face in the world, I don't know what is. He's pushing the term 'sleep like a baby' to a whole new level. I think I'll try that position tonight. I'll tell you how it goes tomorrow.


>>Yep. Tried it. Didn't work as well as I thought it would. The risk of drooling was unusually higher. But I guess you don't have to worry about that if you were a baby.

Grape Fanta!

Fanta lovers, rejoice! Back in the 90s, I used to love this yummy, yummy beverage. Then one day, it just vanished without a trace. The last time I went to Sogo, I found this! Well, it's not made in Indonesia, that's for sure. Otherwise it wouldn't cost as much (Rp 17.000,00 per can? That's pure rip-off). Despite the price, I bought one not just because of the nostalgic taste that it would undoubtly offer, but also because of the awe-inspiring pacakaging! Just look at it! Pretty cool huh? It's a can and a bottle... it's a cottle. And the graphics are also marvelous. Japanese graphics always makes me green with envy. I wonder how the strawberry and orange look like... . To wrap it up, GIVE ME BACK MY GRAPE FANTA, YOU LOUSY INDONESIAN FANTA PEOPLE!

Here are some flavors that I really, really hope that Fanta will never, ever, make:

1. Mineral Fanta
Cos that's like... stupid.

2. Durian Fanta
God put spikes on them for a reason! What other clue do you need? A sign on every Durian that says, 'DO NOT TOUCH'? Putting them in a Fanta bottle will be the worst insult to the beverage world.

3. Fanta Claus,
When you're old, and wrinkly
Don't be sad, be merry
Grow a beard, and a belly
And put on a suit, red as cherry
- Fanta Claus, for the jolly old man inside of us -

*update - Turns out, those lousy indonesian fanta people aren't that lousy after all. Welcome back to Indonesia, grape fanta!

Old Cell, Old Friend

I really miss my old cellphone. The Siemens SX1 (mine's black). I know what you're thinking. How the hell can one type an sms with those keypads. Trust me, it's easier than it looks. When you get the hang of it, it'll be even faster than your standard phone. The SX1 was introduced at the 2003 CeBIT. I bought one in 04 and used it for about a year and a half. As far as Symbian based phones go, this one also comes with flaws, mainly the slow and less responsive menus and the fact that it'd 'restart to improve performance' more than often. Other than that, it's a really good phone. The design is undoubtedly unconventional but bold as hell and everlasting. I mean, it looked great then and it still looks good now! Alas, I was then seduced by the younger S700i from Sony Ericsson (which less than a year later was traded in for an M600i) I sold the SX1 to a friend of mine (he still uses it to this very day). You won't find another phone like this for quite some time. It's not just a phone, it's a piece of art. Nokia, eat yer heart out!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! (Everyone=Ladies)

Well here we are, we reached one of the most prodigious moment of the year, where everyone and everything seems to look monochromatically ff69b4 (for you who don't speak hexadecimally, that's Hot Pink) . And, just like last year, still single and living large, har har har. I have to admit that when I was still still dating, my ex and I refused to celebrate Valentine's (our defense at that time was that we can show our affection on any given time of the year, we don't need any special day to do so). This year though, Valentine's constantly reminding me of my dating status. Not that I'm uncomfortable with it. But somehow society's pretentious attitude on life is encouraging me to boldly enter the dating scene yet again. But single life is purely addictive! How can I wave goodbye to this much freedom!?

Well, I guess it won't do me much harm to say this to everyone (again, strictly for the ladies):
Happy Valentine's Day!

Do-it Yourself Projects: Paper Chopper

Introducing my new pet-project. Let's call it, the 'Do-it Yourself Projects'. For our first project, we will learn to put together a Paper Chopper. You only need a piece of paper aproximately 10-15 cm x 2cm. You can cut or tear any piece of paper (flip it first and then tear along the flip line). It doesn't have to be the exact measurement. Just make sure the vertical span is about 5-7 times longer than the horizontal span. Once it's ready, follow the instructions below.

01.
Tear the paper as shown in the picture below.

02.
Next, flip the lower part like so:

03.
Bend (DON'T FLIP) the upper part of the paper. When you're finished, it should look like this.

04.
Finished! Say hello to your little paper chopper. The only thing to do next is to throw it and show it off to your buddies (it also works well with the ladies, maintain that charisma while you throw it, smiling a lot won't do you any harm). Oh, this is also a good ice breaker if you're being introduced to your girlfriend's little brother/sister. Instant success and cheap as free. (You can thank me later)

05.

Expect this kind of reaction.

Well, that's it for today, hope you enjoy it. See you on the next Do-it Yourself Projects.

Sick-Leave

I'm not doing one today... . Not... feeling... so good... .

My Ever-Successful Past

Did you watch last year's Academy Awards? Remember the part when I won the best supporting actor? Thx again for all your support everyone.

Incidentally, I found this cool website called 'The Academy Awards Acceptance Speech Generator'. So, if you're up for an Oscar but don't have the time to come up with an acceptance speech, be my guest.

Missing This

Remember Wok With Yan? A cooking show on TV, aired on Sunday mornings. As a boy with no culinary superpowers at all but jumps in every chance to eat Chinese food, I really relish that show. Stephen Yan was a very good host, funny, lively, and interactive, even with a certain twelve year old at home. Yan always uses a large Chinese cooking pan called wok (hence the title). In every show, he uses different aprons with some bad 'wok' puns, like "Wok & Roll" and "Wok the Heck?" (Kids loved it! At least I did...). Then, at the end of every show, he'd invite one of his audiences to taste his cooking. Aaaah, the good ol' days, when TV still has good and relatively educational shows. Well, if by any chance, some reasonable TV people are reading this, how about doing some reruns of the show? It must be cheap, since it first aired like 20 years ago and it's certainly better than all those annoyingly parallel gossip shows filling up otherwise valuable air time in the mornings.
