19th Century Coca Cola Ad

I’ve been curious about old movies for sometime now. Last 3 days, I found one movie from the 1930s----cue drumroll--------Gone With The Wind! I don’t wanna be called pretentious but there is a reason why that movie is one of the highest grossing movies of all time. Please please go watch that movie if you have any sudden curiosity for old movies. Ok?

Chao!

Poking Fun at Twilight

I love Twilight but you gotta admit that sometimes fans go overboard with the Twilight mania. It's so ridiculous. On the other hand, there are people mocking twilighters. The videos are hilarious, I just had to share.

Engineer’s Guide to Cats

This cracked me up. Had me laughing the whole video..

My Most Unused Gadget

This is a story about how on a whim, I bought my most unused gadget of all time.

One day, my mom, two brothers and me went to KL to look for a new home pc. This is a decision we made after sometime, considering our home computer was as ancient as the dinosaur and hums like one too.

So the whole morning was dedicated to bargaining with the sales people at low yat plaza. We got a pretty good deal and a swanky looking CPU. We were happy. This was when things went wrong.

We should have went straight back home. But we didn’t, thanks to flashy shops and our inability to look ahead in a straight line.

To cut the story short, I entered a pda/pocket pc shop on the ground floor and came out with an HP Ipaq pocket pc. And it lay in my desk drawer forever more.

Btw, this was purchased 2 years ago.

Moral of the story: Go to the mall, get in, buy your things, get out. And oh, keep your eyes on the straight path ahead.

Educational Post

writer's block

73 up, 21 down

1) A period of time when a writer's mind is completely blank and drained of any kind of inspirational essence. They are unable to write. They start to bang their head against the basement wall. It bleeds. They scream and shout in agony. And finally, they pray that the pain from this blunt physical trauma and the sight of the sweet sweet catalytic blood finally gives them SOME kind of weak-ass idea.

Oh Edward Cullen

A normal guy would say: “I love you Baby!”
Edward Cullen would say: “You are my life now.”

Normal Guy would say: “I think I am falling for you.”
Edward Cullen would say: “The Lion fell in Love with the Lamb”

Normal Guy would say: “You hair looks like a haystack; go brush it!”
Edward Cullen would say: “Your hair looks like a haystack… but I like it.”

A normal guy would pick a random song from a random artist and dedicate it to you.
Edward Cullen would sing you a song he wrote for you while playing the piano.

If you die, a normal guy would find another.
If you die, Edward Cullen would kill himself because life without you isn’t worth living.

(“Well, I wasn’t going to live without you..” He rolled his eyes as if that fact were childishly obvious. “..but I wasn’t sure how to do it. I knew Emmet and Jasper would never help so I was thinking maybe I would go to Italy and do something to provoke the Volturi.”)

As you leave the house, a normal guy would say: “Bye, see ya!”
As you leave the house Edward Cullen would say: “Come back to me, love.”

(He smiled my favorite smile. “Hurry back to me.”
“Always.”)

As you come back home, a normal guy would be watching TV and wouldn’t even notice.
As you come back home, Edward Cullen would be welcoming you by playing the piano with a song just for you.

(“I heard the music before I was out of the car. Edward hadn’t touched his piano since the night Alice left. Now, as I shut the door, I heard the song morph through a bridge and change into my lullaby. Edward was welcoming me home.’)

A normal guy would wait for you to make him breakfast.
Edward Cullen would make you breakfast everyday.

While you are both out for dinner, a normal guy wouldn’t keep his eyes off the sexy waitress.
Edward Cullen wouldn’t even notice the waitress was a female.

A normal guy, while driving, would keep one hand on the wheel and one hand on the radio.
Edward Cullen, while driving, would keep one hand on the wheel and the other attached to yours.

While far apart in different places, a normal guy would say: “I miss you.”
While far apart in different places, Edward Cullen would say: “It’s like you’ve taken half myself with you”

A normal guy wouldn’t care or notice if you had nightmares.
Edward Cullen would sing until your nightmares went away.

(“Do you want me to sing to you? I’ll sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away.”)

A normal guy does it with everyone.
Edward Cullen only does it with one.

-------------------------------------------------

He’s just too much… but the guy has been living partner-less for hundreds of years so I totally understand. Edward rocks my socks!

p/s: I haven’t got time to write anything these days so I’m just ganna share lots. Spread the love.. peace out!

They've Got Comedy Clubs

I found this interesting, so I'd like to share it with you.

Why Bollywood Movies Are Better Than Hollywood Movies

1. They recycle the actors/actresses so you get to see your favorite actors/actresses over and over

2. Just when you feel like a yawn coming on, they break into an upbeat song-dance number

3. With each movie clocking at an average of plus minus 3 hours, you’ll be sure to have filled that otherwise uninspiring afternoon of deep sleeping with useful geographical and culture lesson

4. The amazing dance choreography

Rabne Bana Di Jodi

5. The amazing dancers

6. The amazingness of dancers coming out of nowhere when main actors break into a song

7. The chiseled good looks of Bollywood actors and actresses

Deepika Padukone

Preity Zinta

Anushka Sharma

Saif Ali Khan

Arjun Rampal

Hrithik Roshan

Anyway, you get the picture…

8. Location, location, location

London

New York

Australia

India

9. How heartbreaking it is to watch Shah Rukh Khan’s face when he’s about to cry

10. You don’t speculate, you don’t guess. You KNOW it’s a happily ever after ending!!

Women are Hazardous

I really didn’t know—until I found this.

Adventures of the pampered hamsters

Featuring Milo, Cholte, Kasturi, Obama & Sinichi

“YEAHHH I GOT OUT!!! ………………uh. So now what?” - Milo

“It’s a small world.” - Sinichi

“Don’t Disturb. Come again at night.” - Cholte

“Shake ma thang, walawala shake ma thang” - Milo

“After a day’s work.” (Running) - Cholte

“I’m camouflaging. Shoo go away.” - Obama

“My teammates are counting on me in the hamsterlympics!” - Kasturi

“Back to work!.” - Cholte

Hamsters are really fun to care for!! They’re not like mice or gerbils or rats. They’re very cuute.., not expensive and very hygienic by nature.

One thing that surprised me is how distinct their personalities are from each other. That’s something nobody told me before I took them into my care. I prefer these teddy bear hamsters because first, they’re the largest out of other common hamster types such as the dwarf hamster or the roborovski hamster. Second, they’re easy to tame and won’t bite unlike the more aggressive little hamsters. Third, they respond to you when you call them, especially with food and they’ll come to you and grab the food with their tiny forefeet.

They love to stand on their hind legs which makes them appear like bears, especially the brown ones. One reason why kids choose hamsters is because they’re somewhat low maintenance compared to other house pets such as cats, dogs, rabbits etc. They eat almost anything, I’ve given them chocolate in the past. As snacks of course.

I didn’t buy all five hamsters. They procreated and I couldn’t give them away! I keep them in three separate cages because not all of them get along. Milo will attack any other hamster in her sight, so she gets her own cage. Cholte stays with her aunty Kasturi and Sinichi stays with Obama.

That’s it for now. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. I’m putting up a badge saying I’m a proud hamster owner! You can take it if you want, but please link back to this blog. Take Care!

Do Humans This Perfect Actually Exist?!

Before I show you the video, let me say something first. The reason why I like this video soo much is because I just felt like it's something that every girl could possibly want(OR perhaps, everything I would want :P ). And yeah, of course right now since I'm already scarf crazy, it's only fitting. If I wasn't already wearing hijab, I'd want to wear one. Seriously..

And in case you're wondering, the song is Halili by Cheb Mami & Elissa and yes, it's in french & arabic. So hot.

OK. I'm not ganna say too much now. Enjoy.

Please watch till the end, because the good ones doesn't show in the beginning. (The first few ones aren't my favorite.)



Say something. I wanna know what you think!

P/s: Don't get weirded out whenever I comment about your pretty scarf when you're talking about politics. Their just so shiny and soft...........

How To Avoid Being a Robot/Zombie Bogged Down by the So-Called Working Life

There’s only 2 ways in which a normal human being can turn into a lifeless robot thing.

1. A human dies, then resurrected using dark magic/ uber-advanced science ala cat woman.
2. A human wakes up, eats, goes to work/go to college/go to school, gets stuck in traffic jam for hours, goes back home, sleep and does it everyday. Preferably for the rest of his/her life.

In case you’re wondering, I’m the 2^nd category zombie. I’m tired of it, so I came up with these things which I think is an easy, surefire way to become human again! (Unless you are zombie category one, which cannot be helped even if you follow this diligently. Sorry.)

In traffic jams:

1. Listen to Fly fm or any favorite radio station. Thank you Pagi Show & Rush Hour. I love you guys. Malaysia has the third highest number of .............WHAT???? Prize money is now up to RM 4400. It's driving me crazey okayy!
2. Sing out loud to the songs you’re listening to. Ignore the cars bypassing you and ignore the stares from the people in those cars. This is the time to practice your karaoke so that next time you go for karaoke, you won't suck as much.

At work/college/school:

1. Smile at everyone you have eye contact with. Otherwise it’s ok to be a robot here. Just stay out of trouble. I’m not about to tell people to sing out loud in the class/office or start throwing papers around or putting whoopie cushions on other’s seats.( Dunno if they got those things in this country?)

At home:

1. Have enough sleep. This is my everyday motto.
2. Watch your favorite comedy/cartoon series and laugh out loud at the jokes. Better yet, imitate them with exaggerated voices. (Word of caution: Don’t do this in front of parents or you’ll lose whatever little credibility you got especially if you’re the eldest in the family.)

Out and About:

1. Look at colorful things. Better if they can be eaten.

puccho (japanese candy) cupcakes!!!, originally uploaded by hello naomi.

Cappuccino Dream, originally uploaded by 4GoodnessCake! (back next week).

Cupcake Pops, originally uploaded by Bakerella.

I'm getting carried away.

2. Do something you like. And do it at least once a week. This is because, when things get too out of hand, at least there' s something to look forward to every week. For example, scrapbooking or cooking or swimming or kickboxing. Whatever rocks your boat, as long as it's relaxing.

So there you have it, ways to become human. Take note, especially those cupcakes. Yummilicious. Try them out, and tell me how it goes. They worked for me so there's no reason why they shouldn't work for you. Till then, Zai Jian! (translated: see ya soon!)
