Americans are NOT stupid.
Attack of the monster strawberries! ! !
Picture kooped from STOMP.
Makes me wonder if the recent "good" harvest of strawberries are really that good. . .
Bought from NTUC-Ang Mo Kio...

TOP 10 WAYS TO DE-STRESS FROM WORK!
TOP 10 WAYS TO DE-STRESS FROM WORK!
- Exercise! Stretching, jogging, ball games, cycle, rollerblade! The endorphin released actually makes you happy! Theory and practical proven! Exercise is healthy and it is free!
- Sex! Yes, make love! Get the comfort from your partner! The satisfaction and the relaxation after sex are beneficial for the mind and the circulatory system. Other benefits: http://www.worldhealth.net/p/4186,4468.html
- Chocolate! Eat your favorite dark chocolates! Some say its better than sex!
- Retail-therapy! Go shopping! Buy all those things that you have always wanted! Pamper yourself! Then show your partner the receipts with a grin and a wink! Gets what you’ve always wanted and lets you know how much your partner is willing to pamper you (financially).
- Listen to music! Lie back in your bed and listen to some soothing music. Music soothes the mind and opens up your inner world.
- Have your partner massage you! Music, aroma therapy, and a good rub to smooth out all the tension and muscle-knots!
- Punch a pillow! Vent all your frustrations onto something instead of bottling it in yourself. Visualize your antagonist on the pillow and box the daylight outta her!
- Go KTV! Sing your favorite songs or simply scream your lungs out!
- Change your mindset! Take a step back and tell yourself that “work is merely part of your life; do not let it engulf you. You have other parts of your life that is filled with happiest from your family, friends and your love ones, do not let work-stress mask this happiest out!
- Eat! Eat a lot! Go buffets! Go steamboat! Go ice-cream! Go Tim-sum!
Rich or Poor?
One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
Refresh your perspective and your appreciation.
"Life is too short and friends are too few."

GATSBY!!!
Ohh... the Gatsby song has sunk SO deep into my head!!! I even use it for my ring tone now! Heres a few more new commercials I chanced upon on YouTube. hahaha you got to try it! Its good!
[GATSBY NATURAL BLEACH COLOR]
[GATSBY DEODORANT SPRAY]
And of course, the all famous one...
[GATSBY MOVING RUBBER]
OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB
Ouran High School Host Club 4) And I like the way that the moment the vase came on air, there is this arrow pointing to it. . . blinking and blinking. . . telling us that something looks like its about to happened. Haha, humor. 5) And Tamaki speaks inspirationally with rose and glitters. . . ewww~ 6) And the way Tamaki introduces the rest of the guys. . . arghgh, they all have rose-frames around them! And the glitter sound! ( >,<) 7) Well, the host-clubs seems like a tea-and-chitchat-club to me. I wun mind being a host as well (if I fit the “looks” bill in the first place, that is). 8) And~ Tamaki-kun sure has a way with the girls. . . lifting up their chins and looking into their eyes. . . then talking in those deep sexy tone. . . and surrounded (again) with roses. . . 9) Ah yes! I like the part where Haruhi came back with the INSTANT coffee. Tamaki went “Ohh! This is the type where all you need to do is to put hot water in it?” Haha so funny the way rich-people is depicted like this. . . and then everyone seemed to have gathered attention round this instant coffee and being awed by the wisdom of “commoners” who came up with such innovations since they dun have time to grind coffee-nuts. 10) And even more funny is when Tamaki said he will try the coffee, like it’s a brave act. And the audience went shocked and applauded for him. And I like the way Tamaki ask Haruhi to “make us some commoner coffee”. Wahahahahaha 11) Then there is this label “A Commoner Coffee Demo by a Commoner” as Haruhi went about pouring hot water. Damn! 12) And when the coffee is served, those rich girls were like wondering if they should drink such cheap coffee. . . wah lau~~~ 13) And Tamaki really wins the internet: “Would you drink if we went mouth-to-mouth?” again, surrounded by rose and glitters, and the girls went squeaking away~ hahahaha 14) AND I hate the broke-back mountain behaviour between Hikaru and Kaoru. . . ewwwwwwwwwwwww (>_<) brotherly love is gay. 15) Honey-kun is not cute. I could kick him if no one is looking. =p 16) And Tamaki is very funny the way he went about explaining the existence of the host club. . . the way he turn, twist, glitter, rose, pose, stroke his hair, glitter glitter glitter… oh gosh~~~ 17) And I love the part when Haruhi went “Obnoxious!” and Tamaki shrunk to a corner, white and ghastly, lonely but still with rose petal showering down. . . (where did all these petals came from anyways?) 18) And I also love the part where Honey-kun is asked to “eat the cakes, please”. Wahahahaha, I almost fall off my chair! 19) What follows is roses and roses and rose, until the part where Tamaki went “Handsome men can’t be hurt by water”. Wah lau, so over confident. 20) Hahaha, and when finally near the end when Tamaki found out she is a girl. . . the labels went “The Person who knew from the Beginning” and “People who noticed in the process”. And Tamaki went speechless. Nice humor. Haruhi is cute. But she looks better in the guy uniform (30,000 yen! That’s like S$450!!! Geez~) Well, in conclusion, apart from Honey-kun and the brotherly love twins, the humor, the over-confident pretty boy behaviour of Tamaki, the cute Haruhi and the thick vectoring style of the anime, I will watch this title. If there is one reason to offer, it’s the good humor. 
“Ouran Private Academy is defined by…
one, prestigious families, and two, wealth.
And prosperous people who have much time on their hands.
Therefore, this Ouran Host Club is about…
These handsome guys who have time…
giving hospitality to these lovely ladies who also have time…
and profit off of them.”
HH insisted that she is merely asking me to help her burn DVD, not introducing me this title, so I got all the episodes in my laptop now, from her. Well, you know, curiosity killed the cat. . . and yep, I have heard of this title and I watch the 1st episode. Here’s my comments. . .
1) The opening scene AMV featuring all the characters reminded me of all those girly girly mangas characters my sis watched (yes I said “watch” a book, because my sis dun “read” the Chinese text). The guys all have HUGE eyes that make them look like girls, pointed chins and V-shaped face, ghostly-white complexion, and super long slender legs. The colours used are all pastel blue, pink, red, pastel yellow, radiating the very soft feminine feeling overall.
2) Even the clock tower (which looked like Big Ben) is pink! The school compound and interiors sure gave off the very expensive look. Everything is gigantically HUGE. . . the library shelves, the window, the chandeliers, the ceiling art, the tall walls, wide stairways. Even the school yard is so huge I was thinking I will need rollerblades or bicycle to walk from the gates to the school building. Geez!
3) Okay, then comes the scene where the lead-actor opened the door to the 3rd music class. . . Noooooooo~~~ so many rose petals!!! And the boys inside are like glittering and glittering. . . (>,<). Handsome guys dun need these glitters glitters, it makes them look too glassy and gay! No doubt the boys have good facial look, but glitters glitters dun enhances them! Or do girls really like them (glitters glitters) around guys?!

Random pictures I just wanna share~
Got nothing to do. . . so i thought i might just wanna share some of the pictures I seen...
#01: My dog, Pappy!
(I have always tell my sis that she has NO CREATIVITY in naming pets. Everything is "boyboy", "gerger", or any sound/name that has to do with the animal, then multiply by 2". My rabbit at home was initially named "Tu-tu" or "ah-Tu" until I say she has no creativity. . . so the rabbit ended up being called "Pui-pui~" (fat fat). So this Papillion (read "pa-pi-lon") is named "Pappy". *Shrug*
Well I was meddling with my camera when Pappy was at my door staring up to me. So I just snapped its picture (the flash blinded him momentarily kekeke).
#02 Big Fat Pigeon!
#03 Monster pig
#04 Albino Wallaby
No, its NOT a Kangeroo. Its a WALLABY. Well, anything comes in Albino version. Looks like a big white rat with huge feet to me.
#05 Bank in your cash?
Not for this stash of black money though. . . mixture of greenbacks, euros and mexican pesos from methamphetamine trade. . . US$ 205.6 million in cash. . .
Nah I lied! Its MY own Stash of cash! I hid it in my "other" house. =p
#06 What every office needs
Comes in Carlsberg and Tiger versions too.
#07 So cute it melts your heart.
Came across this cute little picture some time back.
#08 Palm Isle - Dubai
Not a very nice island to visit. Why? Because its filled with filthy rich people. Eww~
#09 Red Wine Hotspring!
Where else? Japan! The hot spring is mixed with red wine ...

Project Zero: Fatal Frame II - Crimson Buttery AMV
Song title: Lovers
Song by: Kathleen Battle
Lovers Instrumental: Used in the movie "House of Flying Daggers".
Q's comment:
Wow, this is one awesome clip! Why? Because it promises to sends shivers down your spine... if you ever bother to stream the entire 06:45 mins to watch, that is.
The Fatal Frame series have been a series that I never managed to pick up enough courage (and time) to really play it. Part one was eerie enough, then comes part two with its "Strangle Ceremonial" or watever the theme is. Too eerie for me to find out, but I made a promise to myself that I WILL play this game (afterall its just a game right? (^_^") )
Another chill-factor for this AMV is the song used. For those people who can "ta-han" those super high pitch "phantom of the opera" style singing, this is one you should not miss. The pitch was so high, my laptop's speakers almost snapped as it went outta tune. Kudos to [Anne Kelly] who created this AMV; its not just an "anyhow pick a favourite song of yours and plug in all those CG clips to fill up the timing" type of AMV created. The lyrics was very very meaningful from the perspective of the 2 sisters in Fatal Frame 2, and the timing of the video was very accurate as the lyrics are being sang out (my favourite scene is 02:15).
To reiterate, the song by itself sends a chill down my spine, both physically (because of the high pitch) and psychologically (because of the eerieness of the lyrics as you watch the scenes in the video).
Watch it, and tell me if you have been spooked.
