These dailyscopes sometimes can be real freaky at times!



There I was reading the papers whilst carrying ouy my temp job as a surveyor on a Thursday (20/07)

And it was then I had 'one of the many business ideas' that may work in good ol New Zealand. And I was thinking about setting up my own business that may involve football, juice and traffic surveying.

And I stumbled upon this daily horoscope for my sign in the papers. No harm just reading it and disposing the thought a few minutes later as usual.



And to my amazement, those business ideas that I had just daydream about seems a little far from my reach 'just yet'. And I was called in for an interview tomorrow which was last friday. Could it be true that I will land this one?

And my dear friends, it was really true! And I have this photo of the cut-out to prove it! Throw some salt over your shoulders now my friends for it may well be true!

The silver lining reveals a bright bright day...!




After 7 months 15 days, 11 hours and 43 seconds.. I've finally hacked it!

Can't believe it. The feeling of waiting for something to come and getting it after all the work, effort and sweat is just priceless!

There are some out there who's been ever so suppportive and you know who you are! Especially my parents for their understanding and support!

Thank you all for your prayers! I believe that if friends and family believes in you landing a role, you will eventually succeed in doing so. Those trust and small gestures do mean a lot to someone who thinks it's all in vain. *gasphew*

The pleasures of life... oh what a pity kermit


Did you know?

That aphids are asexual. It means that they do not need another party to re-produce. How magnificent is that? I just find it so interesting. Imagine being like the macho butches (the pro-feministic kind).

Aphid 1: I want it later tonight.

Aphid 2: I'm pretty tired tonight honey.

Aphid 1: You always say that! What about us having kids? I think we are prepared for it. How do I stay attratced to you when I'm not being pleased by you?

Aphid 2: If that's a threat! Go screw yourself!

Aphid 1: As a matter a fact, I will do that then!

Fact:
Aphids re-produce up to 9 small offsprings per day. A little clone of themselves that is ready to start walking and munch away. But that's not all! When aphids are born, there's a baby aphid in them already waiting in succession of his/her/it's parent. Now that is cool!



And do you know who is there to watch these manacingly dangerous pests from their re-productory frenzy? It's no other than our fellow friend, the ladybug

Just got an email about them Japanese cuisine again. This time it's Frog Sashimi. *ughhh* Thanks Renay for making me think twice about sushi or sashimi for that matter. And I really felt like sushi today. Was dreaming about nice california rolls.



The question is... Would you eat what that man just ate? That just churns up my stomache "in a de-appetizing that is!"

On a seperate note. Freakquency/ies. Now that's a nice name for a Dj!

"The moment money lands on my hand, it just slips through my fingers. "

"I think I should convert all my notes into coins and mint."

Random: I want a new badminton racquet! Either I s**k in badminton or it's time to update my apparatus! =[


I scored a 82, I think I'm ready to travel the world. *HINT: Open your eyes wide! It's quite a task locating all the cities in a short time

The day my boss pulled the carpet under me...



I remembered an ironic event that occured not long ago.

There I was temping and doing a parking survey in Kingsland. The survey was sub-contracted to a company by which employed me.

My job involved checking the parking status in a quaint but busy township near the city.

My job involved me passing by back and forth shops, eateries, pawn shops, cafes, town houses, bars and more restaurants.

There was many occasions where a passer-by was curious to know what was I doing. So I explained to them that I'm doing this survey for Auckland City Council on the situation of car parks in small neighborhoods like these ones...

I lied, they weren't curious but rather worried that I was a parking warden looking at plate registrations which was my requisite for data logging. Well at least that's what my instincts tells me. Ok, maybe some were genuinely inquisitive.

Ok. We are reaching the punchline.

So we had a break in between 4-6pm. My mate offered his place for a good 2 hour rest from it all. So we took his car and left for some much needed rest.

When we got back, I was to head to my car first and deposit something.

To my shock, MY CAR WASN'T THERE.

<--- PANIC MODE SETS IN --->

I look up and had realised I parked in a 4-6pm clear way zone.

Gotten rid of the nerves and rung up possible towing companies.

Found my car in one of the tow truck company's database. Sigh of relief. At least it wasn't stolen.

And so there I was sitting by the kerb, I summarizing the day to be a bad one. Basically, the whole day of strolling back and forth doing 9 hours shifts was to be paying for the towage fee.

Here is my equation below.

I was carrying out a survey for Auckland City Council where Auckland City Council pays the company that employed me to carry out the survey and the company pays me, my car gets towed away, and all my pay for the day goes to the (30%) the towing company and the remaining 70% of the fees goes to whoelse noneother than.... Auckland City Council. Life's irony.

A timehroat to kill...



I should be sleeping but this damn sore throat is preventing me from snoozing off. It just creates an itchy and painful sensation. This like the the mother of all sore throat not because it hurts the most but it takes a bite at you bit by bit. Just like a mother's nag.

Ok. So here I am checking my mails. There's only so much mail I can check.

Ok so here I am online browsing for deals. There's only so much my funds can allow me to buy.

Ok, so I try something else. Checking out blogs from friend's whom I never knew had blogs. There's only so much shallow, naive, bitchin', pretentious and take #187 poses I can take from these people.

So I decide to do some youtubeing. Just caught up with that faze recently. Especially watching crazy mad ass soccer moves from the God himself, they call him Ronaldinho.

Ok so I remembered to search for card tricks.
I loved card tricks since young but never got to mastering them. Back in those days when Copperfield was a mystery. He still is I mean. All I can remember from the various tricks are the ones which were easy to remember. But times have changed these days. Look at what some people have up on their sleeves these days.

The Jamie Kinotakara eXperiment Show




Now geared with a camera phone, this was always the kind of experiment I wanted to carry out! Before and after, trial and conclusion kind of self experiments.

Ever heard of K-Link? There is this product called Kinotakara. Well, So I've heard from my folks mates. And there is this one product which caught my eye. And I found supplies of it in the cupboard so I decided to give it a test.

First of all, let me just put a disclaimer here. I do not work for K-Link, I am not promoting or neither am I condemning K-Link's products or Kinotakara for that matter. This is just a personal viewpoint and all these information provided are my copyright.

The following that you are going to see is can be disturbing to some. I advise viewer discretion.

Before bed

The product here is the 'Kinotakara ToXin Adsorbent' (That's how it was spelt mind you, I'm confused)



I had followed the guidelines. Seems to be idiotproof on the box. And to my amazement, the packaging and fonts were rather simple. This 'health product' costs RM120 for a pack of 10 Satchets. Below is my equation upon seeing the presentation;



The satchet and magic adsorbent before being fixed on me sole.



After putting it on my sole



I have to admit, during the course of my sleep, I could feel breezy and mentholated kind of conditions on me soles. (which scares me)

Eight hours later. (still looks the same to me from the outside)



After much anticipation, I began to slowly unwrap the adhesive to reveal what was in there. So here it was fresh out of my sleep. The outcome of it...



I have to say, it was kind of weird to see something come out of your body without surgery. Feels fishy to me. Well, after all this I still have the same theory on how this product works. I think these products plays with chemistry on how certain things react when it mixes with air, water and all other elements. I had water in me, which was body heat that was trapped into the plaster hence the production of water.

I don't know what to think about science or scams nowadays, what say you?
