Big Oreo, Small Oreo

All right… A short post. Exam today and tomorrow.

There was an Oreo craze few weeks ago in class *LOL* It all started with this…

The Oreo container. So CUTE! We asked our friend where she got it, she said that she bought two packets of Oreo and this was the free gift.

Instantly, everyone asked her to help buy Oreo because we all wanted the container! I heard there’s quite a craze in one my friend’s kindy. A kid brought it to school, the teacher saw it and went to buy. Then the other teachers saw it, they also went to buy. So funny!

Really can’t help it. We’re sucker for cute stuffs hehehe…

I think this is one very successful promotional tactic! They nailed it I guess.

Technology Ruins Romance

December 16, 2010December 20, 2010 sweet surrender 2 Comments

WOW! It’s Thursday! The time is flying fast!

If you notice, I used to blog once a day. Now… It’s once every two days. Sooooo busy ever since I had my practicum. Even though it had ended last month, I still couldn’t get the momentum back because there are still many things that need to catch up with after putting them aside or pay less attention to them for 2 months+.

Exam this weekend, then need to complete my assignments(we are supposed to submit them before the exam but we only got them on the final week of our semester!). That leaves me with less than a week to complete it as the due date is on the day I go for my holiday. Next, I have a few more projects that I need to get the ball rolling after my exam too before I head to Singapore for a short trip. Then, when I’m back, those projects need to be completed before CNY. At least, I no longer need to attend classes as I had finished my Diploma in Early Childhood Education. Then, it will be another chapter of life begins… *cross my fingers*

Anyway, I want to share these interesting videos with you. Saw one of the Technology Ruins Romance videos in one of my friend’s wall post in Facebook. It’s hilarious! Sadly it’s true. This is how technology changes current days romance. I can relate to them LOL…

This is my favourite!

Time is different now, we can stay in touch with our loved one so much easier than it used to but at the same time it really makes me ponder on quality vs quantity issue.

Next, it’s this…

What destiny? Everyone is practically connected to one another with social networks. The world is really small now. It’s a whole new way of looking at destiny.

This one is so dramatic! A acting is exaggerating though.

He lost track of his wife?!? Seriously… Then again, I do believe such thing does happens. This makes me go back to the quality vs quantity issue and how technology changes the way we connect to each other.

How some families actually “talk” to each other using IM or SMS when they are under the same roof?!?! How couples or families sitting on the same dinner table but each of them is busy with his/her mobile phone?!?!

Sad right?

Proton Inspira

December 14, 2010December 14, 2010 sweet surrender 4 Comments

Supposed to post this 2 weeks ago but was too occupied with the MTCHD7 reviews. Photos taken using the phone though.

Proton Inspira, no stranger to Malaysian. One of the latest Proton cars. What makes it different is that it’s actually Mitsubishi Lancer. Everything is similar(or almost similar), they just changed the logo. It’s not copycat, it’s the collaboration of Proton and Mitsubishi. I’m no car expert, that’s what I heard from people.

It’s much cheaper than Lancer(after taxed). I’m not sure how people that had bought Lancer will feel(especially those that tried hard to save up their money and finally can own one). Are they spending too much money on the same thing? Another thing, will it affect Lancer’a resale value?

Well… I guess it will sound nicer/better/with more omph if your car is called a Lancer instead of Inspira, right? Human ego I guess…

Anyway, whatever it is, I know there are many people out there that don’t like Proton and make uncivilised statements as if Proton had done something wrong to them or owe them zillions of kaching and will attack whoever that bought Proton car or support Proton car when leaving comments.

Com’on la people… You don’t have to resort to such childish act, it’s none of your business what people want to buy and what they support.

Test drive it already?

I Cook (3)

December 12, 2010December 12, 2010 sweet surrender 2 Comments

Few weeks back, my parents made a last minute trip to Singapore leaving my bro and I at home. Happened that during the weekend, they bought many types of mushroom, a cabbage(don’t like it), and had some leftovers. We two had to finish up the food of 4 persons before all gone bad. Worst, most of the time, I ate alone because my bro didn’t come home for lunch.

Didn’t plan to go out to buy other vegetables because I had to clear the stock in the fridge and we had mushrooms for few days -.-” Cooked all the simple meals only.

Left: Abalone mushroom with garlic.

Right: Fried rice with 5-spice minced meat(the one in the tin, leftover also…) and cabbage.

Left: Tom Yam mushroom soup. There’s 2 types of mushroom in there. So much that we couldn’t finish.

Right: Leftover soup, added with broccoli the next day.

Left: Stir fried cabbage. I tried to look for some interesting cabbage recipe with the ingredients available at home to cook but guess what?!? Cabbage is such a boring vegetables! All the recipes I found were similar, nothing much. In fact, I don’t like cabbage too. Now I understand why I don’t like cabbage ;p they are boring!!
