Malaysia Boleh

Only in Malaysia,

They are so hilarious I just have to put them here !!

Good Morning, Malaysia :)

First Attempt

Look who's in the house !!

Hehe, okay not exactly a 'who' but I'm so excited !! Weeheee :)

I whatsapp-ed my sister the photo,

Sister : why are you sending it to me?

Me : because I think it's amazing.

Sister : of course it is, because you bought it from a bakery.

Me : *i'm flattered*

Sister : omg no, that's impossible!!

Thank you, thank you *bow*

I sense escalating sugar level for the next few days.

Think Before You Clean

They say, never put anything smaller than an elbow into your ears.

And we ask, can we have smaller elbows?

Anyway, being a little girl who defied orders, I went playing with the cotton bud when mum wasn't looking. Of course it looked like cotton candy, but I was no dunce so I thrusted it into my right ear.

I don't remember all this, but mum said blood was oozing out from my ear and I was excited. Okay maybe I wasn't a brainiac after all.

I was quickly brought to the doctor and he said if only I had pushed a little deeper, I could have perforated my eardrum like this.

Looking at this picture scares the hell out of me, man!! I feel so lucky now. God must have loved me too much back then.

Anyway, that's not the end of my love-hate story with cotton buds.

After high school, I got quite obsessed with cleaning my ears that I'd clean them almost every day. Maybe it was the fact that cleaned ears boost my confidence or maybe it was plainly because of the tickling sensation that gradually gives one pure pleasure. I don't know.

However, after years of consistent everyday ear-cleaning, I realised one day that I couldn't hear anything more than a metre away clearly. Sometime I felt like my ears were blocked, the kind of thing u've got when water got trapped inside the ear after swimming. 

I've tried everything you could possibly think of - from putting a few drops of water in and hop on one leg to sleeping on one side every night for a month - but nothing worked. So I decided to get my ears checked.

It turned out that there was a massive lump of hard solid earwax in both of my ears! Disgusted enough? Hehe. The doctor explained that using cotton bud apparently pushes some earwax further inside while leaving the outer part spotless. They soon accumulate and when the ear is dry, the chunk hardens.

I was sent to an ENT specialist who asked me to put three drops of olive oil at night for a week and return to syringe the earwax out. Well, when syringe didn't work, he had to vacuum it out !!

Haha! Of course not this type of vacuum.

Anyway, I remember being charged RM180 for the procedure - the most expensive earwax cleaner I've ever paid for. I was also advised to stop using cotton bud and use this instead.

It's got a spatula-like tip to scoop the wax out easily without destroying the tickling sensation. I love using this cleaner, seriously, that sometimes I wish I have a thousand ears.

So guys, while cleaning your ears might be good and hygienic, using cotton bud as a medium could be harmful, to the extent that it can cause deafness. You might want to take extra precaution.

Finally, Instagram time people!! pffft.

Think before you clean :)

Beauty Pageant

Oh-kay. Pardon me for wandering too far down, but I wonder how does a transsexual cope with the new ehem, private part? A friend told me about sex rearrangement surgery, and I can't shake it off since.

Holy cow!!

Have you guys seen the video of Miss Malaysia Pahang 2010 pageant? It's widely circulating on facebook now and all over the internet.

Fine, I'll put it here. I'm not entirely sure if all of the contestants are cross-dressers or not, but I'm pretty sure some of them are.

When I first saw it, I thought they are all beautiful, walking down the runway so gracefully and confidently in traditional costumes. Of course, a part of me heard the harsh, deep almost masculine voices and felt something was unusual about the pageant, but that part of me chose to give them the benefit of her doubt and just ignore it.

Anyway, the fact that it was held in Malaysia is indeed disturbing. We should realise that the town is talking and the world is looking. Just saying.

My friends started to make jokes about the contest over tea. One even suggested that we have our very first and own drag queen pageant in London.

And I think I've already found a candidate :

Farouq(ah)

I hope he doesn't see this. Haha!!

And no, ladies, he ain't no fruitcake. He was forced to model the hat, the smile and the pose. I guess he nailed it better than me, huh? Such a talented boy.

Flight Deal

In the midst of planning a summer trip with the girls, I came across an interesting article about Ryanair (Irish version of AirAsia).

It was dated back in 2009 when the boss wanted to let passengers stand during flight so they can squeeze more people in. His proposal was to install what has been described as 'bar stools' and to charge less than seated passengers. It's believed to help cut costs by 20% by flying 50% more people in a single flight.

I personally think it's a brilliant idea that benefits the company itself and also the customers. Honestly, I wouldn't mind standing for an hour in the airplane from London to Dublin, as I've been doing exactly that on the packed bus and tube almost every day.

If the cost of flying does go down, ceteris peribus, I'm sure more people would opt for this means of transportation. I'm no exception!!

Anyway, this is a conceptual 'standing seats' designed by Aviointeriors Group for budget airlines who wish to employ it.

However, everyone knows that flying cheap is equivalent to your gearing up for an intellectual combat with the airlines for their ridiculous charges on almost everything. Priority boarding? Cross. Inflight entertainment? Cross. Airport transfer? Nah. Extra luggage? No thanks.

And your bag ends up appearing in many of your pictures.

What an unsightly view, pfft.

But that's not the worst !!

Once, as I was queueing up to enter the gate, an officer decided to spot check my cabin luggage. I was ordered to put the bag into the metal cage but unfortunately it didn't fit, off by less than an inch. He suggested to just check the so called cabin bag in and pay at the counter.

And the charge for an extra 5kg of bag allowance? A freaking £18.

I hesitantly took the towel out and shove it into the big dustbin at the corner.

Absolute embarrassment.

Tom and Summer

Summer : I just woke up one day and I knew.

Tom : Knew what?

Summer : What I was never sure of with you.

**

Summer : I was sitting in a deli and reading Dorian Gray, and a guy comes up to me and asked me about it. And now he's my husband.

Tom : Yeah. And so?

Summer : So.. what if I'd gone to the movies? What if I had gone somewhere else for lunch? What if I'd gotten there ten minutes later? It was- It was meant to be.


p/s - don't force love. It comes when you least expect it :)

Guilty Pleasure

Spring has finally come!!

 The sun shines, and the trees bloom.

No more heater, and no more shivering.

I'm so lovin' it :)

Anyway, BP had just had their first annual general meeting since the deepwater horizon oil spill, thought to be the second biggest after Exxon Valdez  (1989) in terms of environmental impacts.

Sadly, after almost a year, fishermen are still unable to do their job close to the gulf of mexico. Many businesses have been closed down, and most families running this seafood business are without stable income. Compensations are still far from reach.

I really feel sorry for them.
(Try watch this and u'll be sorry too)

Thought that might interest you all. Hehe :)
