You put clothes into the bag!

You know those kind of vaccuum-sealed bags you see on the Shopping Channel or those paid advertisements on TV? I had a few and decided to stuff some of my clothes in and see how convincing those advertisments are.

But when I opened the packaging and looked at instructions behind, I nearly laughed myself off the chair bed... 


Yes yes, that makes sense. I wouldn't want to put anything that DOESN'T fit into the bag, do I? Well, without cutting any holes, that is..


Wow we learn something new every day... Today we learn that wiping something with a cloth removes dust!


Now you come in and help me. This is a two-person job all right! Now, which edge should you choose? Hmmm, left or right?


Back to my turn again. Oh no, now I have to save YOU when you "all fall out"!!! Now, can you tell me how many pieces you are in again? I need to keep count...

There's more, but I am not going to post anymore up cos they just don't make sense.

But when I tried it (yes, from putting in clothes smaller than the size of the bag to closing the fastener from "an edge") it actually works wonders! Look!

Before:

Large mountain of clothes.

After:

Mini hill of clothes.

Before using those bags, those clothes took up more than half of my bag.. Now?


Only one-third of the bag!!!

So, those paid advertisements are not lying through their teeth after all huh...

What is this??

I found this on my wall this morning.. Something was growing out from the wall!!!



By late morning it had grown to this and it migrated to the armrest of my chair..



And then by late afternoon it had grown even longer and hopped to the table!



What is this mysterious strip of thing that keeps growing and moving around??



Is it a tempura or lollipop for me to eat?



Is it a wand for me to be Harry Potter and cast a spell on you?



Or was it Santa's moustache he left behind last Christmas?



Make a guess! What is this???

Top Pet Peeves About Men

(Includes both in general and when you are in a relationship with hopefully just one.)

1. Playboy type
Don't go around liking every other girl in sight.. Especially when you are rejected and immediately go round looking for some other substitute.

2. Has BO / Bad breath
Come on face it, who wants to be with someone who smells bad? Bad breath included.

3. Thinks about sex every second whenever he is with you (and maybe even without you)
Porkie claims that's 50% of the male population. I think it's perhaps 80%.

4. Broken English
How can you express your thoughts and feelings to someone like that and expect gibberish in return? A relationship is about communication you know...

5. Looking at other girls when you are out with him
Girls like (and demand) attention! We do not exactly enjoy the backview of your head...

How to use the phrase "top-up"

Definition: To "top-up" something means to add on to something, usually to improve the current situation.

Example 1:
When your EZ-link card (a stored value ticket for public transport) no more money, then to "top-up" the card means to add money to it, so you now have money to take the bus or MRT!

Example 2:
One has already studied and attained a diploma, and with another extra few months of studying, the diploma becomes a full Bachelor's degree. This is how you "top up" your diploma to a degree.

Example 3:
Your computer software is outdated, and is unable to run without an upgrade. It's time to "top up" your software!

The Back of the Bus...

is a wonderful place...

This post is was inspired on my way home, on the shuttle bus.

When we are on the bus, we usually sit by the window and watch out for streets and where to get off. We see the world going by us in a flash, as we pass by quickly with a blur from the lack of speed on the bus.

If we are nervous about getting to a destination, we tend to stand near the front (behind the red/yellow line!) and watch for our destination through the front window, anxious about whether we are going to miss our stop and constantly shoot the driver looks and finally sigh a breath of relief when he tells you to get off at the next stop.

When we sit at the back of the bus, it's a different story. Many think of it as lovey-dovey couples snuggling at the back of the bus. The back of the bus is such an interesting place to be.

Yesterday, I sat at the back of the bus alone. It was the mini shuttle bus so I could see directly out the window and not have a big block behind the last seats before the window.

I looked out at the window behind and it was a completely different sight and different emotions washed up over me, like waves lapping the ocean.

I felt like I was on a plane, leaving the beautiful scenery behind as I depart to another place (eh, why sound like I'm dying). I guess it's the same effects as a plane would, you see things getting smaller and smaller from your sight until they eventually disappear.

I felt that leaving things behind was a pity, and you don't know when you'll ever get to see that view again. That reminded me to cherish the things we have now before they vanish into thin air out of sight.

I also somewhat felt the excitement of leaving on a jetplane and flying back home! But again, I'm never very excited beforehand, not until I actually arrive at the airport anyway.. And even then it stays dull until I touch down!!

So the next time you hop on a bus, try looking out of the window and see what you feel.
