Another One Collapsed!

Just after a week or so after Lehman collapsed and AIG was bailed out, and now WaMu was closed by the government today! Just read the news a minute ago.

Dang! was thinking of buying some of WaMu's stock since Citibank and several others, including JP Morgan who bought it, were looking into bidding for WaMu.
WoW! Luckily, I was only thinking of buying it and actually buy it... huehuheue.. Who knows this would happened now. I don't wanna be my friend's friend who blew 20k over Lehman stocks...=S
Boggles your mind, ain't it?! I actually thought that since several banks were looking to bid for it, the stock will go up, like in some other cases.. ^__^

This morning, or rather yesterday in Asia's time, people in Hong Kong were lining up at Bank of East Asia to withdraw their money after rumors went around. At the end, people were calmer since HK business tycoon Li Ka-Shing bought its shares. Read it here.

We are in (not going into anymore, mind you) recession now. And you could actually see it all over the place. People are getting laid off. Speaking of lay offs, GE in Seattle (not too sure about other GE, but they are losing money according to the news) just laid off some people and my uncle is one of them =(; Deloitte Dallas laid off some in their accounting dept not too long ago; Alcatel also laid off some people a while back (a friend of mine was one of the people who took the voluntary package they offered, her job is sent to Mexico now =S).
And there's talk about HP wanting to cut over 24,000 jobs. *sigh*

IMHO, we don't really feel the recession in Dallas as much as other cities in other states. Sure gas prices are increasing (it increased again after down for about 50 cents/gallon) and there's shortage in some area in here, but that's due to hurricane Ike. News broadcasted that beware of your fuel tanks and to let it as full as you possibly can do.

That reminds me I need to fill up my gas tomorrow hehehe..

Anyways, it's getting hard to get a job, getting hard to buy a house and get a mortgage (it's ridiculously hard to get a mortgage nowadays...gosh talked about being anxious of bad creditors.. why weren't they being anxious BEFORE all this crap happens? And they said that those people are genius...=S), getting very anxious and unsure of what's coming next....

Now, what I need to do is, suppress my shopaholic illness ^__^, stop eating out too much, and save all my money!!

Oohh I need to buy that huge piggy bank like the one I saw in We Got Married.

Oh no! stop it! Can't buy it, it's wasting money... but... but... but.. I need some place to put my money right? If I put it in the bank, I'll just keep taking it out... and then I won't have money saved.
Excuses...excuses...excuses.... what a shopaholic! lol..

Seriously, I'm on my resolution to save more money hohohohoh...

Well then, good luck to me!

~~Jessica out! *copying Ryan Seacrest heuheuhe*

Yogurtland

I had noticed this store before but I kept forgetting to check it out whenever I went grocery shopping at H-Mart (new korean mart, it's hugeeee!).
Then, while Priscil was checking out Soompi, she mentioned a review for Yogurtland. So, last weekend we checked it out and tried the yogurt. I think they just opened since there's a grand opening sign outside...

Hmm.. so when I noticed it, it wasn't opened yet??

Yogurtland is a self-serve yogurt place.

You go in line to get any kind of flavored yogurt you want, then go to the toppings section and put on as many toppings as you want, and then pay.

Price is by the ounces. It is 30 cents per ounce.

I had coffee (or cafe latte? whichever), pistachio, and blueberry yogurt. For toppings, I had watermelon (haha I know it's weird, but I thought might as well try it - yogurt with watermelon ;p), blueberry, melon, strawberry, almonds, peanuts.

I like all mine. Blueberry is soury, so if you don't like sour like Priscil, you probably won't like it.

Priscil had strawberry (which I don't like), green tea, and cheesecake yogurt. I don't remember what toppings she had.

They provide fruits and other things for toppings (several kinds of cereal, granola, choco chips, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, etc... don't remember all of them).

Yogurtland

Aarggghhh!!

Just got back from lunch...
Went to eat bulgogi bibimbap.. yumm..

Afterwards, I felt like drinking bubble tea. So, I went to Lollicup. When I got there, it was closed due to renovation.
Err.. okay, I thought, should I go back to the office or go to another place (2 min away from there).
Well, might as well go there since I'm here anyway.

So, off to another place.....
Bought my pearl thai tea.... and then.... shit happened!

AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

My pearl thai tea fell right there in front of my car's door, right before I stepped in the car!!!!

So pissed off right now...

Keep thinking, yea maybe I can't drink it anyway, go on a diet!! It's fattening anyway... ahhaha..

Told my friend about it and his response was:

G: huahuahuhauhauhuahuhauauhaahua
G: HAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
G: guobloookk... makanya gak nasibnya minum boba, biar kuruuss...

Sialan!

Sky Dining

This video proves that humans are "creative" beings.... ^__^

Just watched this video from Yahoo.

Mind-blowing restaurant...

For 159 Euro per person, excluding beverages, you could sky dining in (or should I say on) this 22-seated restaurant and "enjoy" the view, if you're not afraid of heights (165 feet)...

This restaurant is in Germany, not too sure where exactly in Germany it is.

Formal attire is not required but you are required to fasten your seat-belt.

Ah... Ngehe!

Ngeeeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Vegas - LA Farewell Trip/Party

Started from a msg from Anes (Stevanes, in case you're wondering if his name is really Anes heuuehe). Anes is a long time friend of mine. I know him since middle school? High school? Don't really remember hehe.. And no, he's not my high school friend. In fact he went to different school from mine and we have never gone to the same school huehuehe..

Anes: Je, wanna go to Vegas? My farewell party. Let me know k..
Je: EH?! farewell?! the hell Nes!
Anes: yep farewell.. heuhueh
Je: When? And when are you leaving?
Anes: May 30th and leaving on June 19th.
Je: The hell Nes!! that's like in 2 weeks!! June 19th?! So soon???
Anes: hauuhauahuah I know.. so? going?
Je: Let me see if I can find cheap ticket. Btw, is this farewell for real? I'll go to your 3rd farewell if I can't find ticket. How about that? hauhuahhaa
Anes: Damn Je, it's for real this time..huahhauha.. (note: last Dec he went home for good but the next month he went back to US again huahuahha)
Je: Damn Nes, it's like $466 to Vegas!!! I think I'll go to LA (he lives in LA) first then go with you guys to Vegas, if it's cheaper to LA than Vegas. If not then... I'll see you when I see you hauhauhahha..
Anes: huehuheuhe.. Ok, let me know how it goes.

And so, I went to LA first, then Vegas, and then back to LA before I went home.

There were 10 of us and it was a lot of fun!!

We stayed at Monte Carlo...(don't stay here if you don't want to walk that far as it's some distance away from all the other hotels but it's still on the strip... I stayed at Ballys before and it was right there in the middle of the strip.)
The hotel was nice but Ballys has bigger rooms, I think.

We got there on Sunday afternoon. We were out of schedule since some people couldn't wake up, and so we were late picking up Heidi at the airport. She was waiting for almost an hour there hueuheuhe *Sorry Hei..*
She was supposed to arrived at the same time as Yanto but his plane got delayed. So we were on time picking Yanto heuhuehuehe...

Then 2 more ppl came late at midnight. Few ppl went and got them at the airport while the others got ready to go clubbing.
The first night we went to Jet at The Mirage. We got there around 2AM (clubs close at 4AM). It was alright. Some of us weren't really in the mood for clubbing..tired and all.
But the guys were excited though since our waitress was cute heuhhuehuhe ^___^

The next day we went around, took some pics, blablabla...
That night we went clubbing at Pure in Caesar Palace.
Let me just say this... we were wasted... and let's leave it at that, shall we? heuhuehheuhuehe

Btw, the new hotel Palazzo, was alright I think. I don't think it's that great. I think of all the new hotels that just opened there, I like Wynn the best.

We were actually going to go leave to LA by 8PM (all 9 of us, Ijo went back home already), but since they all were so engrossed in winning their money back, we left at midnight.... *And they all lost heuheuhhe*

We rented 2 cars, 1 van and 1 sedan. I rode the van along with Anes, Delvia, Heidi, Yanto, and Congwae.
Congwae drove the van and Anes was the navigator. Yanto actually offered to get his GPS in his bag but Anes said no need, besides we had to open the trunk and go through the bag. It's late anyway.

OK, so off we went....

While on the road, I noticed that it wasn't the same environment that we went before. But I think well, maybe it's dark and you can't see anything.

And so, we drove for about 1 1/2 hours on 15 North (it takes 3-4 hours to go to Vegas from LA).
We passed a sign that said Welcome to Nevada and Nevada welcome center. Anes said, "Hey do you guys want to take pics at the welcome center?" huhuehuhee silly dude.
Then Victor called Anes since he was very sleepy and Kurt and Willy were sleeping (Willy had to go to work in the morning too hahahha).
They were talking and I didn't know what they were talking that got into the topic of 15North.
It turned out that we went the WRONG way!!! We should have taken 15 SOUTH!

Huahuhahuahuaha Congwae was so pissed, and everybody was just awed and amazed. Then we all started to blame Anes... hauhahuhauha..

I thought you said you know the way Nes..
I thought you said you don't need the GPS Nes, I offered it to you already.
And you still want to take pic at the welcome center?!
You're a dumbass Ness..
How come you don't know the way??
And you were so sure of yourself!

huahuhahuahuhahua.... and so for 2 weeks, he put "Anes is a dumbass" on his facebook.. huahuahuhaa..

We made a U-turn then stopped at Jack in the Box in Vegas (yes, we went back to Vegas again! haha).
It was around 3AM. And somebody said, "Look, we're in Vegas again.. we're never gonna get out of here.." huahuhuhaha..
We got to LA at 7AM.
Some of us slept til noon...

Victor bought Indonesian foods!! Oh man, they were sooooo good! I think that was the best meal of the trip heuhuehuehueh..

Then we went to Simpang Asia (Indonesian store), where we went crazy and bought a lot of Indonesian stuffs (foods).

Afterwards we went to Rodeo Dr, but it's closed already. We took pics and then went to Promenade. We were going to catch the sunset at the beach, but we were too late. So we took a walk on the street there.

The last day we were going to go to Pronto's and then Mie Yanti before going to the airport.
But we decided not to go since they are all in different way and we were very tired. Some of the guys were trying pot huehuehuhe.. It was so funny.. they can't stop laughing.. They were in la-la land..^___^
My flight was the latest of all. So we split the cars.
Delvia and Heidi went with Victor and the rest went in a separate car.

I don't know where Victor went but we went to Shinsengumi and had ramen. It was great! I think the best ramen that I have ever tasted here in the US.
I even forgot to take pic heuhuehuhee.. (btw, I didn't take that many pics of the trip or of Vegas since I took thousands of pics of Vegas last year)

We stopped by at In-N-Out on our way to the airport. Everybody, and I mean everybody, was saying you've got to try their fries! It's awesome! You have to try In-N-Out!
We couldn't find one on the way and I told Anes, we don't have to get it now, I'm going back to LA anyway (someday, right Fin? hahhaa). But he said, yes I know but I want you to try the fries, which was backed by the others.. "yea you gotta try it."

Finally it was there. We bought the regular fries and naepolitan shakes. And the verdict is..... it's ok... huahuhauhauha..
Gletwin said, "Are you crazy?! It's only OK?! you got the wrong one!! which one did you get? the regular one? No wonder!!! you should have gotten the animal style!!! Anes dumbass!" Ok, chill out Win, it's only fries...hauhauhuhauha...

When I went to work the next day, my brain didn't work, my body was sore all over, I just wanted to sleep... It was hard... heuhuehuhe..

All in all.. it was a very fun trip..

And lastly...

Best of luck to Anes and Kurt!! Hope you'll get whatever you want in life. And I hope you get that job Kurt.
When you're rich, don't forget me!!! huehuhehe..
I heard you guys are in Sg already. Well, have fun and party hard before you join our club, "the working ppl" heuhehuhehe..
See you in Dec Nes... Let's party again in Vegas on new year huahuhauhuha..

Oh Damn!

The other day, my sis was browsing her friendster's network and found 1 of my elementary friend, Catherine. I know! incredible, just out of the blue like that!! heuhuehue..

And so, I was chatting with my other elementary friend, Mawar, that I used to hang out with. There were 5 of us: me, Mawar, Maureen, Natalia, and Cindy.
I told her that I found Cath's friendster and then we started talking about our other friends.
Asked her if she ever saw or met Cindy or Maureen. We know where Nat is heheh..

She said that she met Cindy once at a mall with her husband and 2 kids!!! O-EM-GE!!
She was the tomboyest and I just simply couldn't imagine her being with her 2 kids... LOL..
And she turned gothic... ^__^

When I asked about Maureen, she just put the smile icon, and the next word she typed was... dead.......

Gosh! Maureen is dead!! I heard it before from someone but I didn't believe it. Well, could you?
And now, I just heard the confirmation from Mawie....
Apparently there was an accident when we were in high school. She was hit by a bus or a truck, nobody's sure. DAMN!
How come nobody told us??? I didn't even know that she was back in Jakarta!!

This sure is top everything off... After a long and tiring day, after being in a bad mood all day, followed by being annoyed by the stupid and fuzzy person.... This is like the icing on a bad cake...
Too much to take to end a bad day.. From a bad day turned to an awful day now... >____< style="font-weight: bold;">ever forget, especially now and I'll always regret this to the end.. =(

When I was in high school, I went to Ciputra Mall with my friends and we stopped by at Hero Supermarket before meeting our other friends. I think this was a few weeks before I left the country.
I thought I saw Maureen passed us by, but I wasn't too sure since I haven't seen her for ages... and faces change. You know, from elementary to high school... I'm pretty sure everybody's changed a little, if not a lot.

I was contemplating and kept guessing and thinking, "Is this her?? Is this really Maureen."
And I let her go, I let the moment passed. I didn't even call her name out!!
Dammit! If only I had known -- don't we hate this statement? if only I had known, if only I..., if only!! well it's too late now!!
It was better if I called out the wrong girl. There was 50-50 chance that it might be her... *sigh*

Oh well.. there's nothing I can do now.. It happened a long time ago now. I just regret that I didn't call out on that girl. I'll never know if it was really her and I'll always have that regret with me...

May you rest in peace Mau! I missed you a lot... We had fun back in the days, didn't we?

Guuysss, when I'm back home, we should totally make another reunion to make up the one that I missed!!!!! Nat, we should fit in our schedule, so we could go back home at the same time.. =)

Oh, and high school reunion is coming up huh Wen? still 2011?? heuhuehuhe..

Hmm.. gue masih ada foto sd gue gak yaahhh.... aahhhh..

Lesson of the day... Do not hold back the next time you want to do something or when you want to say something. You'll never know, you might end up regretting it...

Btw, this is my 100th posting!! yay! hehehehehe... I was gonna put a video on but this news changes everything..

I Hate

Fuzzy people!

They are so freaking annoying..

With that said, I hate annoying people too!

Geezz! Couldn't you be any more fuzzier?!?! Irritates me like hell!

I understand it the first time you said it... No need to tell me thousand times...

I'm not stupid! I'm just blocking my ears.

Yoga Class Incident

I went to yoga class last night. Have you guys done yoga? Let me tell you, we aren't sitting around relaxing... It's painful!! >_____>

Anyway, we were doing some poses, and this lady next to my left farted!! heuhuheuhe...
Luckily, I was turning the other way and I almost laughed hehehhe... **yes, yes, I know... I'm not trying to be mean, you know....I know I'll be very very embarrassed if it was me...**

Then, towards the end, we were laying down and doing a pose. I had to turn left and face her back. I couldn't stop thinking, "I hope she doesn't fart again coz it'll be on my face..." ^g^

Bal... Just for You Bal!!

After being harassed by Iqbal for a loooonggggg time to put his name on my blog, I finally decided that today is the day. So, read carefully k Bal!!

Please meet a friend of mine, Iqbal.
He's currently single and available... And the most important part is..... he's looking for a wife!!
So, ladies, start lining up please!! wakakakaka..

He's kind, nice, good looking *ehmm*, very very understanding, tajir **pejabat booo...hiihhi**.. **gila bal gue pusing mo muji lo apa lage... kagak kepikiran hauhuahuha**
Too bad he's a bit short *Bal, it's too late for you to grow taller, huh? haha*, but all you ladies need not to worry..... his personality is able to cover his shortness hhihihihi... really! I'm serious!

Well, I need to get back to work... **excuse, excuse, excuse**

Bal, udah gue puji2 tuh elu... ok donk?? hihihihihi...
Foto lo yg mana Bal yg mo gue pajang??

Cewek, cewek....dijual neh dijual! on sale...wakakakakka....
cus...

Damn Politics!

At my former office, most of the assistants are women, while the bosses are, of course, men.

All the women, or should I say girls, coz that's what they are... a bunch of catty girls, are so fucked up. They are so two-faced. So nice in front of you and ready to stab you whenever you turn your back.

Basically, in that office, I kept to myself and didn't bother with anyone.
I loved the gossip part hauuahauhua (not that they talked to me if there's any gossip, I was always last to know >___>), but I hated the way they handled stuffs there.

The office manager is the most fucked up one, I'd say.

She works there for about a year (I think) and she has successfully turned the office upside down. She even manages to get the big boss to back her up!
She's really awesome.... really...!

My co-worker hates the OM so bad that he doesn't even want to go whenever she holds a tea-break or whatever and invites everyone to come for a few minutes.

Thank God, I don't have to work there long. 6 months is more than enough.
It's even more fucked up now, I last heard from one of the girls.

Well, I can't really complaint much, since she's always "nice" to me and can't really do anything to me coz my boss backs me up.. heuhuehuheuhe..

Anyway, the girls are grouping each other. And they always talk about each other too!
A will talk about B, B will talk about C, C will talk about A, A will talk about D, etc. And they will try to kick you down whenever you're not looking.

So, this OM cut down everyone's expenses (supplies exp, etc) and cut down vacation times too (this vacation time story is longer than what I want to write, so I'll skip the story, but the point is she pissed everyone off because of this vacation time thing), while she spends the money!
She changed the furnitures in some of the offices, planned useless things for the sake of "us", and some other stuffs. She's probably doing that just to look busy coz I heard (from a trustful source) that she comes in at 9:30, takes 2 hour long lunch, and goes home at 5.
Still.... the big boss thought that he needs to increase her salary coz he thinks that she's done soooo much for the office.
Geeezzz... give me a break!

Before I left the office, she was trying to pick on my co-worker and I. She even managed to make the big boss to inquire us (not directly to us, but to our boss).
Since they couldn't touch me coz I made enough billable hours, they asked bout my co-worker alot and made complaints about him, saying that he spends too much time online and playing games, and that he doesn't bill too much hours. They said that it's unacceptable!. Yeah right! I bet he's not the only one browsing and playing online.

Damn! Apparently smaller office's politic is more fucked up than the big one (my job before this one was at a huge-nationwide corporate). Wonder how can it be?!?

A couple of weeks before I left, I heard that there'll be 4 interns (somewhat related to her, KKN dah dia) for the summer. I've met 1 of them.
Everyone was like, where are they gonna put them? there's no more space. And what are they gonna do? blablablabla..

Oh! Speaking about interns, she hired this handicapped (not physically, mind you) guy for charity or something, I don't know and made M to be his "supervisor" aka babysitter.
Since M has to babysit him, she can't do all of her tasks, and she got blamed for not doing her job.
We were like, what the hell?!

Anyway, on my last day, she was busy running around plotting, eh I meant arranging, stuffs. She's trying to find somebody to replace me. Not that I minded, I was leaving anyway. I just don't like the way she did it. Also, can't she does that after I left?!?
She was running around all day, going back and forth in front of my office and didn't talk to me at all.

That reminds me, after I talked to her to let her know that I'm leaving, JA asked me,
JA: Was she nice to you?
Me: hauhaha.. yes, she was..
JA: Good, she can be nice if she wants to...
Me: hauuahahua....

Anyway, just like what Gino always says..... Fuck this shit man! **Oh man, I miss your craziness and your curses Gino, where have you been... let's hang out sometime. Ask the others too!!**
I don't work there anymore and what do I care... heuhuehue...

Why can't they hold it on May 30th????
I'm going to LA and Vegas on that weekend.... aaarrgghhhh....!!

It's OK, there'll be next year. I'll keep track on the date.....

Don't know if I can go... we'll see..

Gletwin, mau nampung gue gak July??? huehuehuheue...

Smelly...Smelly...Smelly...

I was contemplating whether I should write this in English or Indonesian, but I decided to write in English anyway.

Last I night I worked out at the gym. I was talking on the phone with Harpin while doing the treadmill. Then this lady (baca: bule) came and used the treadmill machine next to me.

After a few minutes, as I was working out and listening to my cell (I can put songs into my cell), then I noticed a smell (baca: bau apek, bau keringet gitu deh).... I think it came from her coz the lady on my right was just getting on the treadmill. So, it couldn't be her.

Damn! I was thinking to get off and change to another machine, but it's almost half an hour... (tanggung banget!). So, I put up with it and after half an hour, I quickly changed to another machine..... heuhuehuhuehuhe..

On my way home, I talked to Gletwin on the phone and I told him what happened at the gym.
Then he started telling me his story when he worked out.

hauhuahuhaua.. I just keep cracking up whenever I remember his story...so silly and unfortunate..

Ok, here goes...
He went to the gym and found this high school girl working out (baca: orang bawang) by herself and there's nobody else in there.
When he opened the door, it was so stink that he wanted to go back, but then he felt awful for doing that.
So, he went in and started working out. A few minutes passed by and this girl left the gym leaving him with smelly gym huehuehuhe..

After a while another girl came in (orang Persia ato manalah gitu) and said, "God, it smells so bad in here!!" huahuhauhuahuhahauh....
She or I would think that he smells so bad that he made the gym smelled awful... hauhuahuhaua.... poor Gletwin.

I told him that he should have said, "I KNOW!".
He said that he did, but he said it in a surrender way coz he just didn't care anymore.... He's used to the smell by then... hauhuahuhauha..

Gila aja... baru kali ini gue ketemu cewe bule bau gini.... ampyuuunnn dj.....

Introducing......

His first published comic book ever!
Shakespeare's Julius Caesar by Adam Sexton and Hyeondo Park.


Last weekend, he brought 2 of these mangas to Zack's graduation. **Congrats Zack!! FINALLY, you made it!!!! YAY!!**
At first, I didn't even realize that it's his comic book.
And then Jennifer came to the bedroom (we were chilling and messing up Jerry's place hehe) and said that it's his manga.
We were like, WOW Hyeondo! It's so awesome! You're the man! Please sign the book..... We need your signature.... huehuheuheue...
And apparently, he also wrote his bio himself (it's on the first page, I think).
He got teased the whole night because of it. ^___^

Anyway, here it is.. his first published book ever, out now on sale. Buy it online or at the stores. (Really, Hyeondo, you need to pay me for being your spokesperson..^^)

He's currently working on his 2nd book, Huckleberry Finn.

Hyeondo, don't forget my free-signed-comic-book, arite! ^___^V

Cancelled

My Korean class is cancelled due to too few students registered...
T___T

Aahhh.. And I was so looking forward to it. Dammit!

Learning Korean

After being fed up for not understanding what they're saying on the movies and after countless times of having people talking in Korean to me for a while, I finally decided to take on Korean!!

Hauhahuahuha... it'll be interesting, I think.

I hope I don't mess up the language when talking.

You know, saying 1 thing in Japanese and another in Korean and the rest in English, oh maybe I'll slip in some French and Chinese also... heuhuehuheuhe....

Coz that's what I do right now...hihihihi..

Starting to say one thing but my mind could only say it in another language other than the one that I want to say. And the bad thing is sometimes I don't even remember that it's another language and I just say it and people (well my sis usually) will look at me weird, like, wth is she talking about?? heuhehuhe... ^____^

Well, I was only practicing anyway... people said practice makes perfect, right...? or in my case, not. >___< Beginilah kalo belajar macem2 bahasa tapi separo2 gak pernah sampe selese...heuhuehue...

Can't wait for the class to start (May 12th, in case you're wondering)....

I already know some words though and the first thing I learned were the cussing words)...heuhueheuhe..

Always, learn the curse words first!

My theory is if we know the curse words, even if we can't speak the language, we'll know if they are talking bad about us and we can say it back to them. ^___^V


맞다 ? -- is this even the right character of what I wanted to say?? Saa..

Interesting Blogs

The other day, I was watching CNN while finishing my puzzle. I made the ancient map, by the way.
There was this show where you could send interesting blogs (could be your or somebody else's) to them and they'll show them on the show.

2 blogs caught my eyes...

1. http://little-people.blogspot.com/
This blog is written by this guy in UK who placed "little people" (people figure that he made by clay) around the city (mostly London) and photographed them.
It's really, really neat. Check it out.

Hmm... I wonder.... should we go backpacking aroung UK and try finding these little people??

Oh and uh.. watch your step!!

2. http://facesinplaces.blogspot.com/

This one is also cool!
Have you ever wondered or imagined that things around us sometimes make a face?
Well, I did but I surely never thought to take pictures. But this guy (is he a guy? don't remember who made the blog) did.
He (let's just assume it's a he) uploaded pictures with faces, hence the name of the blog. We could send our pictures too!

Actually, there was another blog that got my attention, but couldn't seem to recall the name of the blog. If I remember it one day (hopefully, but you know, you could always google it yourself, I'm just too lazy to search for it...), I'll come back and post it here.
The blog was about "failed" pictures that you took.
Remember all those blurry-dang-it-pictures that you took?
Well, don't delete them just yet..... You could send them to this blog and they'll show the pictures on the blog. (Don't I sound like an anchorwoman? huheuheuheuhuhe)

Hmm.. I never catch that show again on CNN.
Don't remember what time or what day that I caught the show.
Anybody know? please let me know.

Purikura

There's a new purikura store open in Ko-mart.
A bit expensive, $10 per pic -_- but we managed to go there 3 times heuhuee...
And we can decorate the purikura.
Actually we're waiting for the black machine but it hasn't been on. Oh well..

Silent Library

Thanks to Gletwin who ruined my work day. Spent a few hours watching these videos at work...huehuhehuehe....

I only put 1 video here, but you could search it under "silent library" or "Japanese game shows".
Oh, the human tetris was funny too. Just search it under "human tetris" on youtube.

I was laughing (without sounds, of course =p) while watching one of the videos and then my boss went pass by me and actually looked at me.
I turned my head down and started to cough.... huehuehuhuee....
Caught me off guard there... ^____^
