7up goes Au Naturale!

Advertorial

Whoever heard of sodas/soft drinks ever been good for you?

Sometime ago Mike told me that every time he got sick as a kid, his mom would always get him 7up to drink.

When he told me that I didn't believe him.

Hello, my mom boils me horrid Ginger Tea and various other herbal nonsense while he gets to have a soda when he's sick! How unfair is that?

And we Asian kids are not even allowed regular sodas because it makes us "cough"!

It seems impossible but here's what Google says:

Lo and Behold, the angmohs DO drink 7up when they are sick!

The reasons seem to be unclear - something about the bubbly making you burp???

Of course, loads of people also argued with this method, stating that soft drinks are full of artificial flavourings and can never be good for your body.

Well now believers of this 7up-curing-illnesses myth can be even happier!

Notice anything different?

7up, the no. 1 best-selling lemon lime flavoured soft drink in Singapore, have just gone au naturale!!

The same great taste but now made with natural flavours! YAY!

And to celebrate this, 7up is giving away movie tickets!! Not sure how that's relevant, but it seems good for us anyway.

Erm, maybe you guys can make a guess how many movie tickets are going to be given away...?

50? Nope...


100? Nope...


1000? Still quite far from it...


Correct answer is...

5,208!!!!!

That's just plain ridiculous. I can't even imagine how large a box needs to be to store that amount of tickets. Ok lah maybe not that big, but still!

This amount is actually the largest ever given by a beverage company.

SEVEN movie tickets are just WAITING to be grabbed EVERY HOUR EVERYDAY for a month till the 31st of July!


Here's what you have to do to get 'em:

1) Buy a 7up anywhere

2) Login to 7up.com.sg

3) Key in your batch code! To know what this is, click on the website!

And fill up the form!

4) Invite 6 friends to watch a movie with you! I hope you have 6 friends.

5) Once they confirm, you'd have a lucky draw chance!

If your invited friend wants to win the tickets too, they can also do so!! Although if my friend also wins tickets and doesn't invite me as one of his/her 6 I'd be so annoyed. HAHAHA see 7up contest also must have etiquette one!!


After joining, you can go enjoy your naturally lemony 7up!

YUMS!

Check out 7up's new TV ad!




It's not fair that when I was 4 Fido Dido become a star and he looked like that. Now I'm 25 and he didn't age at all - still looks the same!

Fido Dido is sexy......


As you can see he is in love with me.






Aww! Don't be jealous baby I still love you the most!



Click here to get your tickets!!





Very expensive nowadays can get free must get free!!

P/s: Totally irrelevant but I'm awesome at the 7up game!!

In defence of Bleached Blondes

Ever since I bleached my hair more or less platinum blonde, I've been getting all sorts of CRAP comments.

It's weird because for the longest time I've had my hair sorta really light brown but just not quite blonde yet, and nobody gave two hoots.

Oh, here's an obviously Chinese girl!

But once it crossed the threshold from caramel to 'blonde' blonde, people start all sorts of accusations.

I am trying to be an angmoh! I am abandoning my Chinese roots! Xiaxue you are an insecure, self-hating disgusting heritage ditcher!

This is pissing me off SO FUCKING BAD.

FUCK YOU ALL.

Firstly, GET OVER YOURSELF. It's just a muthafucking hair colour.

Do Chinese people typically have brown/red hair? NO THEY DON'T!

We have BLACK HAIR.

And then like a half of the Asian female population in Singapore have dyed BROWN hair - nobody says anything!

Having BROWN hair is as un-Asian as having Blonde hair isn't it?

Or so are you trying to say that there is a DEGREE to which you can abandon your "roots"?

DYEING BROWN NOT HIDING BLACK MEH?

And oh, I've had my hair black, varieties of brown, ash, green, red (long ago), pink, and BLONDE.

When I was all the other colours, you mean I wasn't trying to act angmoh and suddenly now I have a change in personality and decided to?

I'd tell you why so few people have bleached blonde hair.

- It destroys your hair.
- It doesn't look good on everyone. Not saying it does on me, but I like it.
- It is incredibly expensive to maintain. Mine is sponsored.
- It is a wild colour and schools and most office jobs won't allow it.

And that's why it is so special - and I love attention so I want to be special!

It's just a bloody hair colour and just because I like that colour doesn't mean I necessarily hate being Chinese!

In fact, as my URL so proudly proclaims, I love being Chinese, and I love being Singaporean. My parents are fully Chinese and I've never claimed otherwise.

As for the coloured lens, plenty of other chicks wear them too, purely because everyone else has black irises and it's BORING. Nose job? Anyone who saw my old nose won't deny that I needed one. Angmoh boyfriend? Had him for 3 years before I had blonde hair.

I hate the accusations that come with my decision to be a bleached blonde. So for the last time, I AM NOT TRYING TO BE ANYTHING. (Maybe except special.) I just LIKE THE COLOUR!

Just like I like pink. It doesn't have a deeper meaning than that.

Why the fuck should I be pressured to stay with my black hair when I know I look boring (and imho, ugly and greasy) in black hair?

Just to look Chinese? Well fuck you again. I'm trying to look like a Chinese Albino. You happy now? Not abandoning roots now am I?

Anyway, part of the reason for this tirade is due to a fucker called BRADLEY FARLESS.

One day, I was having dinner with Mike at a food court in Pasir Ris when Bradley was also eating there.

He then blogged this:

Firstly, he doesn't know who I am. I was basically an innocent stranger to him, albeit a stranger who intruded on his opinion about Asians keeping their hair colour.

Didn't anyone tell him that it's incredibly rude to snap someone's photo and blog shit about them?

He didn't even have the decency to mosaic my face.

And secondly, after posting up my photo, he started to ACCUSE ME.

He presumed that I was trying to look white. Excuse me but where is your proof of that? Do you know me that well?

Secondly he presumed that Mike loved me because I looked white. He doesn't know BALLS about our relationship. Look at him go!

His whole entry reeked of the presumption that white men come to Singapore for Asian girls or that White men like Asian girls. I'm sorry Bradley, not every white dude is as racist as you.

AND WHAT IS THIS PHILOSOPHICAL RUBBISH ABOUT ASIAN GIRLS LOOKING GOOD BECAUSE THEY ARE AND LOOK ASIAN??

What the fuck is that? Does that even make any sense? It's like saying Fat chicks look good because they are fat and look fat. WTF??

Fuck you.

Never mind this first entry of his. Afterward, someone told me who I was, and this made him spew a SECOND blog entry.

Mind you, I did nothing to him personally.

Started off by saying I look like shit. You know, LOADS OF PEOPLE LOOK LIKE SHIT. Stephen Hawking, for one, is not a looker either, although he is smart as hell. Why aren't you criticizing his looks?

Oh, I get it. It's because you don't like me.

That's right.

Well.

You ain't much of a looker YOURSELF:

At least I'm not bald at the age of 28.

Imagine someone looking like THAT calling you ugly. Angry not??

And where's his penis? Must be tiny.

Continuation of his blog entry:

This loser with probably less than 100 readers on his SHITASS BLOG per day is trying to teach me how to blog!!

Hilarious and buay paiseh much??

My English is crap. And I don't do balance or moderation, but guess what? I am still the top blogger in Singapore so you can suck on my balls!


"Photos should be used to augment content" - Advice from a loser. Funny! I should listen to him. He sounds like he has been blogging for ages with much success.

Oh and for some reason, he seems to have taken issue with my Chipster Advertorial, naively thinking I've got nothing better to do than to blog about potato chips.

My dear, I was paid THOUSANDS for that entry by a reputable MNC. If you think I've nothing better to do than to go blog something, think again. Retard.

You know, I find the second last sentence particularly enlightening.

Listen, Bradley found that I made him feel
better about himself as a person.

Normally I am not so cruel as to highlight a loser's inadequacies so harshly, but hey, you asked for it.

I did more research into this fucker's life and I found out a lot more about him.

He was originally from Alaska and was in the army till he finally quit it.

He is presumably mixed. Dad's white mom's dunno what:

His parents

His wife is Filipino and never graduated from college, and neither did he.

For some reason, both of them are not from Singapore yet decided to reside here.

In April, he posted this blog entry up.

This loser, there is no other word for it, has been jobless for almost a year.


He has been living in Singapore with his wife.

AND PRESUMABLY HAS HIS WIFE PROVIDING FOR HIM.

Unless he has some trust fund which I doubt so, but either way, what sort of man at 28 does not work?

He lives in a sad dingy rented room in Pasir Ris at $600 with a Singaporean host family.


And there he goes, typing shit about girls online just like you'd expect any other sad loser would. It's so stereotypical it's almost laughable. Hey dude, why not look for a job instead of writing advice to bloggers?


I was looking at his tweets. He typically sleeps around 5am and wakes up after noon. Does that sound like a guy who is TRYING HARD to look for a job?

IMHO, only lazy, useless, unambitious bums who leech off their kins can be jobless for so long. Can't find a job? Try MacDonalds! Or are you too good for that?

Well, maybe you are vastly over-estimating your self-worth. :)

At the age of 19 Bill Gates set up his own software company. Hell, even I at 19 was starting to get press and making my mark in the world.

At the age of 28 most men are already building their careers, building their families.

At 28 all he has is a bald pate, and ugly cat lady as a wife (more about that later), and NOTHING TO HIS NAME.

His only claim to fame is that a semi-famous blogger once blogged about him.

I don't want to go on about how ACCOMPLISHED I am in contrast to that useless lump because it's arrogance.

But does he have the rights to comment anything about me? No.

Calling me shallow and stupid? If you so deep and clever, where are you in life? PRECISELY.

Really embarrassing to have a chick you are insulting earn way more than you do. Me and Paris Hilton both.



Anyway, never mind these two blog entries he made about me.


After these are written, I was still clueless because obviously I don't read his blog.

Then, the fucker had the nerve to @TheXiaxue me on a tweet, saying that my twitter updates are BORING.

(For those of you who don't know, if you put an @ before a person's nickname, the person can see your tweet as a 'reply')


This led me to his blog. I then read the first two entries as posted.

I retaliated by tweeting that his wife is uglier than I am.

Of course, this fucker wanting hits for his site, wrote A THIRD blog entry about me, and here it is:

Typical.

When I said his wife is uglier than me, he pulled out my old Maxim photoshoot. Congrats, you found my ugliest photo in existance. So?



FIRST off, I have no qualms about what he called "dragging his wife into the picture".

As you all can see, the wife also left a barrage of comments about me prior to my tweet about her. She said I'm stupid and made remarks about my site. So is she innocent? She is not.

Secondly, if you want to say I am ugly out of NOWHERE, then I can also say your wife/mom is ugly if I want to.

Your remark about me being ugly is UNPROVOKED, so why can't I make UNPROVOKED remarks about your family?

Sounds FAIR, doesn't it?

ONE FOR ONE.


AND THIRDLY, here are his wife's tweets about me.

Oh, so this bitch wants to get into this too!!


Since she and her husband are so adamant that she is better-looking than me, here are a few of her choice photos for you to see:

What crap about it being the end of the day and his wife was tired... I'm sorry but it seems as if she looks typically even greasier and uglier!

Oh and that photo taken without my permission was also at the end of the day with me in ratty clothes and no make-up on. I DON'T SEE ME LETTING MYSELF GO LIKE THAT!

You think I chose her ugliest photos and tried to embarrass her? Don't take my word for it, feel free to check out her MYSPACE profile's photo albums before she shuts it down.

I didn't want to blog anything about this fucker despite him writing 3 blog entries about me. Since he is such a sad little loser I thought I'd let him off.

But then, up till yesterday, the fucker was still steadily tweeting a stream of nasty shit about me.

I presume he either really hates me or just badly wants me to blog about him. If it's the latter here's your wish granted!!

And here's the "WHORE" photo in question:



Do I look like a whore?


Pic credit Jessica

I was wearing a cute lilac M)phosis romper for Christ's sake. Whores do not wear rompers coz they are so difficult to fuck in, ya know?

Fucking losers. Hey Margee, do your colleagues at NTUC Income (if there is where you work according to the lanyard) know you have a loser of a husband?

Fucktards. Get the fuck out of Singapore.

UPDATE:

The cat lady twittered 2 new tweets about me:

xiaxue top blogger? keep telling yourself that fake blond.

Funny leh! This sorta thing need to argue one meh?

Tempting to post the $10,000 cheque photo again. Tempting. Won't. Am a girl with self-restrain. Shall be more humble.

And the second tweet whining and whimpering about how she is 8 months short of finishing med school or something.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Never finish also can talk about it one ah? Like that I am 8 years short of finishing a PHD! How? Clever not???

I thought only the husband is a loser but she's slowly going on par!

Which is more loserish, never starting something, or starting something halfway and giving up/failing??

Always finish what you start honey!

*plants big L on forehead*

Almost a doctor, huh? If so, why are you still living in a dingy little flat doing customer service? Go and be a goddamn doctor if you can make it! Betcha can't! And till then, stop claiming to be a doctor and stfu!

And I'm not 'crying', silly. Why should I? I'm rich. MUAHAHAHA! Not rich rich, but richer than YOU, a half-fucked doctor!!

Oh and OF COURSE... I was right about the dude having a small penis and no balls. He deleted all blog entries related to me.

He was the one daring me to blog about him and now this!

If it's possible, I lost even more respect for him! Stand by your fucking opinions, fuckface! You can't afford to add SPINELESS to your long list of bad traits!!

Second UPDATE:

He deleted whole blog. Nice!

I'm totally happy today.


p/s: I am not afraid of giving hits to him because shitty bloggers will never be able to maintain it. :)

Bali!!

Piccies taken from my Bali holiday! The trip is sponsored by Holiday Inn Resort Baruna Bali (not advertorial, just sponsorship), so thanks to M and A for this!! (And you also Ju Ju Seah!!)

Kaya toast and eggs before flying



At the airport. I was the only person in shorts besides Mike.
Seriously? Is it THAT cold??



We arrive at the gorgeous Holiday Inn.



Sea view



Served tea and cold towels



On our way to a nearby mall in Kuta.





I'm a MILLIONAIRE!!! Call me heiress!!

We were shocked when we saw that the sea was just RIGHT BEHIND THE MALL. (Called Discovery Mall or something)

The view from our suite!!!

And our hugeass balcony.

So thoughtful of them to put the clothes drying rack there for our wet bikinis!

Camwhoring













Few shots of the room



And a happy Mike



And me!

My outfit for the opening party of Envy, the beach bar at Holiday Inn.

I showed Mike this photo on my camera and I said "Thanks for taking this pic for me baby!"

He said "Oh, you are welcome".

I actually took the shot via self-timer. -_- Where got people like that anyhow claim credit one??

Gorgeous sunset... Hotel guests get to see this everyday



Ice sculpture





With flash and without... The beach lit up by many lanterns





Us seated







Mike and I with A and M... Sorry they requested anonymity so no faces!



Fashion show!

Fondue fountains of white and dark chocolate... Mike looks like he has all intentions to stab the fountain to death.

We had a fabulous dinner just lazing and eating off
beach chairs, staring out into the ocean...



Fireworks burning out the word ENVY

Day 2!

We take a longass car ride all the way to Ubud, where the famous Babi Guling store is!

Babi Guling supposedly, if I didn't remember wrongly, means roasted pork.

The place is packed with locals and tourists alike.



Awaiting food





FINALLY IT ARRIVES!!

The set comes with roasted suckling pig, juicy pieces of pork (really madly nice), rice, veggies with coconut, and...

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

This disgusting sausage which looks madly disgusting. Nobody with us ate it, though Mike bravely took a nibble... He said taste like pig's blood.

And guess who came to look for us!!

Kenny, Ringo and their friends!



Picture!























Camwhoring outside the restaurant next to a temple.

Next we go to the Hanging Gardens...

It's this famous hotel up a mountain or some sorta hill... The ride up there was FUCKING SCARY!!

Bali's roads are not very developed and the roads are all narrow 2 way lanes... Potholes are aplenty and it even sometimes become one-laned because of vehicles parked on the roads!!

And if you tilt towards the edge, you literally fall off a goddamn cliff confirmed cannot find your body kind!!

Luckily we survived!

A Balinese staff brings us on a lift-ride



That's our 'lift'. It brings us down to the lounge area.



That's the tracks... Freaky right?

That's the lounge. We were told that the view is very nice, but when we rushed to see, we realised it was beyond nice... It was simply breath-taking!

There were 2 infinity pools... The REAL sort.

Literally if you fell off the edge of either pool you'd plunge to your untimely death.

We were so high up that all I could see below were forest, nothing else.

Mike looking awed





Everything was just so serene.



We couldn't resist sitting by the pool and bringing our drinks with us...

Sidenote: Dress only $9 with heart-shaped neckline and heart-shaped buttons! Awesome find!

Happy



Awesome for tanning but too bad I didn't bring my bikini and it wasn't sunshiny that day.



Airforce ad

Me giving an act cute face









Artistic boh!





That's a real cocoa fruit. I've never seen one before!



And that's it we go up the precarious lift again.

After this we go back to the hotel and explore the beach behind it...





Gorgeous!

We frolicked for a bit and went for a massage.







The super nice massage room.

Just what we wanted after a flight!

And, props to Holiday Inn's massage staff man!!

THE MASSAGE WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!!

Like seriously the best I've EVER had!! They focused a lot on head massaging and even facial massaging, which imho is the best sort!!

After this we go to Jimbaran Bay for great seafood:

Located right next to the ocean... You can smell what you are gonna eat while they are alive, literally.

Avocado milkshake. Madly nice.

Corn from a vendor. They roast it and put some sort of burnt brown sugar (or maybe it's honey) with salt and loads of butter on it. It's so good omg.

Food!

Fish



A plate of Kang Kong for everyone, comes automatically with the meal.



Hugeass JUMBO PRAWNS



LOVE!



Check out Mike's corn... Eaten so messily!

It pisses me off!! I eat corn very neatly 3 rows by 3 rows. If 4 rows are left I get annoyed coz I don't know if I should eat 2 and 2, or 3 and 1, or 4 at one go.

OCD much? LOL

It was a lovely dinner! Thanks for the treat M and A. You guys are great!!


Day 3, Mike and I go on a boat trip to a little island off Bali!













Beautiful clear waters



First we into a submarine where we were invited to see underwater marine life...

This is the best photo I can take outta the windows but I must say I gasped!

The waters were so clear you can see to the bottom of the ocean floor and the fishies swam around the boat so closely we could see their gills!

I didn't know what I was expecting... Cloudy water I guess? Hahaha...

Turtle on the island being forced into cam-whoring with tourists.



Here's one tourist abusing it



Forced to take photos never mind, still expose people's genitals. Poor turtle...

COCK FIGHT!!









Squawk!





Weeeeeeee!





Our lunch... Person behind Mike looks so menacing.

Mike trying a Snake Fruit.

It's horrid. He said taste like "apple" but drier.

We were on a Pantoon and snorkelled too!!

Obviously no photos since my camera can't go underwater. Snorkeling was fun for about 15 minutes.

It was really quite something being able to be so close to the fishes and see all the corals, but after that I realised, together with the rest of the girls, I was drifting further and further away from the ship due to the current!

I panicked and freaked out coz I realised I didn't have enough strength to go back to the boat!!!

I grabbed Mike and told him to swim me back. LOL!! Loserish!

Anyway, after a while I started to get nauseous and the snorkel was pushing up against my columella (area between nostrils) in a really uncomfortable way due to my implant... Advice to Plasticzilla not to snorkel.

Mike was really enjoying himself though so I let him be and waited beside the boat for him.

After this we went tanning! The sun was glorious!!!

We were in a tour group with Taiwanese people so the tanning chairs were all EMPTY. I guess the Taiwanese all wanna be fair?

Back to the hotel and then to dinner:

R. McDonalds in Bali rides a surfboard.





Sunburnt Mike.

We couldn't find the place we wanted to go to (sells Prawns and Chips as recommended by a blog reader) so we just settled for any restaurant in Kuta...

I ordered something which compensated for my expectations of getting Prawns and Chips that night but this meal kinda sucked.

I know it LOOKS nice but the cream sauce was not at all creamy and was just salty! Weird.

Mike's seafood curry. Also not nice.

I was 100% positive for some reason that we had one more day to stay in Bali.

I told the hotel's GM Stephan (If I didn't remember his name wrongly) this, and he gave me a raised eyebrow but said nothing to the contrary.

Next morning at 11am he called and asked me if my flight is at 1pm later and asked me to double check.

THANK HEAVENS HE CALLED CAN?? I totally misread the date!!! Stephan's a savior man! On top of that he recommended us loads of nice places to go to (the places he recommended did not disappoint) and he is so nice and friendly too. =)

So in half an hour Mike and I packed up and left!!

I was so upset coz I thought I could go shopping the next day!! Boo!!

I kept apologizing to Mike over and over again but he wasn't angry. I came to the conclusion that he forgives my mistakes much more easily than I forgive his so I shall vow to be more accommodating in future. Ahem.

Paiseh!!!



And we arrive back in Singapore!

On a postnote, I must say that I am very impressed by Holiday Inn's staff! They are all so polite and sincerely nice. Like you can tell when someone's nice coz they are HAPPY, not coz they are paid to be. Ya know??!!

Anyway, I left my blackberry on a sofa coz I dropped my earring and was trying to find it back in haste. Another guest found it later (phone not earring) and returned it to the hotel staff, who passed it back to me.


THANK GOD! I was so flustered when I thought it was gone forever!! Honest people are awesome!

**************************************************

Pumpkin's photos!!!


Naughty girl keeps biting my toes...















Classic head tilt

Anyway, she has this ring toy which I bought from Ikea. It's for babies. She likes to put her head and front paws through the ring, so that she's wearing the ring like a skirt or something.

It's sooooooo funny! We kept having to "rescue" her.

Looks so stupid

Here's one of Nano burying herself in bedding...

Many of you have asked where Picolove is. Pico is staying with my mom because Pico kept attacking Nano and bit Nano till Nano bled! So I had to separate them and now Pico is my brother's pet.


And I know you all think Pumpkin is really cute...


But here's how she looks like when she's freshly out of the bath...

Won a twitter fight today

As you all know I'm very active on Twitter.

Recently there has been a flood on Iran-related tweets, which I found to be really annoying.

I don't care about Iran and I wish that others who also don't will have the social courage to ADMIT THAT THEY DON'T INSTEAD OF PRETENDING.

Once Mike asked a group of people if they are more bothered about a raging toothache or a group of people dying in some far-off country.

Most people in the group obviously answered the toothache.

Only if you are comfortable yourself will you be able to show empathy for others. You think hungry homeless people are passionate about helping other hungry homeless people find food??

And even IF you are comfortable, I don't see why one can't choose to be apathetic if one deems fit.

I don't care about Iran, because I don't know anyone there, I don't think I can make a difference and I am simply not interested.

Up till today I just have no idea what's happening there. And don't bother telling me, didn't I just say I'm not interested?

By being apathetic and self-centred I am not making the situation any worse or any better.

So I don't see why I can't be. Am I being hard-hearted, selfish, or cruel? I don't fucking think so! I'm just being APATHETIC.

Being ignorant is my choice and a result of how little interest I have in a situation.

I am not harming anyone and I shouldn't be judged for it!

You know who else also doesn't care? Probably your parents/grandparents. Go fucking lecture then on their ignorance instead of me.



Anyway, today, I tweeted that 'I'm gonna slit my wrists if I read another Iran-related tweet'.

Of course, out pops an Iran Enthusiast called @rainorchid.

Rainorchid told me to go slit my wrists then because so many people are suffering and all I can think of is how I don't like reading Iran tweets.

I replied:

Yeah and what are you doing? Go to Iran and fight instead of tweeting then! Hypocrite.

And he replied something to the effect of "I WOULD IF I COULD" and blabbered some lame excuse for not going.

So I said:

You would if you could? I'd buy you a one-way air ticket there. Dare you take up this challenge?

At this point Rainorchid mumbled something about me issuing a "death threat" (WTF??? SIAO) and going on about some other incoherent nonsense about how I lost a fan... And started to delete all his tweets!

CAN YOU SAY COWARD??

It's so bloody easy to just TALK.


Are you willing to go all the way for Iran? Instead of just TWEETING on a computer about an issue you are supposedly dead passionate about?

So convenient. "I would if I could"

I also would donate $10 million to Iran IF I COULD. I can say that because I don't have $10 million!!! I got a few thousand but alas! I need to buy Juicy Couture so I simply cannot spare any for Iran! This makes me a moral saint!


And then? When I offered to pay for the air ticket what happened? What other things could be stopping him? Drop everything in your comfort zone and fly there to help!

You can be passionate about an issue, but don't you dare lecture others. Others who are simply uninterested in your perspective. Keep your judgmental pompous mouth shut and make yourself useful via action, not by passing judgment on others.

Will complaining about how cruel Xiaxue is make the situation in Iran any better? Noooo... Save your energy. Donate your salary to worthier causes.


And face it: You are just being semi-charitable to make yourself feel better. It makes you feel superior, like you are a good person. In a way, that's even more self-centred than being apathetic.


If you really care, you would go ALL THE WAY like Mother Teresa. Go ahead and give up your life. No more air-con rooms for you! Mother Teresa can lecture me. YOU ARE NOT WORTHY.


You know what this reminds me of? MORAL VEGETARIANS.

Eating animals is unkind, but when you confront them that eating plants also kills animals what do they do? Nothing. Avert their eyes and continue their hypocrity. Just as long as they not still in their comfort zone.


Everyone's just as useless as I am but at least I am not pretending to not be.


p/s: Love the Maddox post and I've linked him about a million times. It's just so good!
p/p/s: Now the Orchid is saying dunno what rubbish about having family in Iran. I see. You have a computer, internet connection, and the freedom to tweet continuously for hours, but you are unwilling to give all that up for Iran. Very, very selfless.

I hate insects

(Post half-written about a month ago)


Today I was thinking about how much I hate household insects.

My old list of insect hates used to be:

1) Lizards

2) Cockroaches

3) Flying Beetles

4) Wood-boring beetles

5) Mosquitoes

6) Moths

7) Flies

8) Ants (easy to kill la)

In an amazing twist, flies now top the list as they give birth to maggots. Fuck flies.

So anyway, as I was saying, I hate insects. So do you. I presume you are a normal being reading my blog, not an insect-loving lunatic.


Now... humans can taser lions, shoot rockets into space, invent electricity, etc - why the fuck are we losing the battle against muthafucking insects living in our homes?!

Someone's got their priorities wrong

In drier and colder climates maybe this is not so much a problem as in tropical humid countries like Singapore, so I'm just talking about Singapore here.

When I was in the states, I saw that "geckos" (another name for fucking disgusting house lizards) were kept as PETS!

That's right! Mushy rubbery fuckers with protuberant eyes and tails that fall off and innards that are visible underneath translucent skin - are loved, fed, and have a price tag on them!

WTF!

In fact, when I went to Mike's aunt's place, they showed me a lizard's skeleton that was kiaped in a door frame. They said that lizards were really rare and seemed to like the skeleton.

When asked for my opinion on it, I merely grimaced. If only they lived in Singapore lizards shit on their kitchen counter!!!


Henceforth, to aid fellow Singaporeans get rid of pests living in their house, I suggest the following methods:

1) Screened doors and windows.

So here's the age-old question:

Should I open the window?

Yes for air, no for insects flying in. Therefore, I want a window that can let in air and not let in insects.

The answer is so simple: Screen the goddamn window!

In my dream home I have windows closed all the time with the aircon on 24/7, but right now I can't afford to do that - and besides, having so much A/C on is bad for the environment.

Not that I really care about the environment though. I am just saying that to applease the environmentalist segment of my blog readers, who are probably smiling and nodding in approval right now.

Anyway even if I do have so much money, I can't possibly A/C the kitchen also, since you need to let cooking smells air out, etc.

Therefore, screen windows!

Further to screen windows, I also suggest double screen windows.

That is, two screens that are set about 1 inch apart.

The outer layer screen will have a high-voltage electricity charge running through it.

Everytime a fly or bird tries to transpass into your private property, they will fizzle, shriek, and either lose a good wing or die.

(Pigeon with burnt beak. Hilarious!)

The inner screen is to make sure you don't go touch the outer screen, and to doubly make sure any flexible and electricity-resistant insect won't through. I know, if he went through the first what's to stop him going through the second one, right?

Get off my back!

And what do you mean rain will short-circuit my electric screen? My screen is rain-smart so it can detect rain and stop electricity then, ok!

Further to maiming birds and frying insects, this can also deter burglers. Not that burglers are very common in Singapore, but prevention is better than cure.

2) Airtight cupboards.

Most people have some sort of 'Dry Food cupboard' to store their instant mee, chips, cornflakes, canned food, etc.

Even if every single item of your food products are sealed up properly, this cupboard will never fail to attract lizards, roachs and ants.

(I am beginning to suspect that insects can read food labels.)

The answer? A magnet and some rubber tubings.

Just like a fridge, except not cold inside.

Maybe it would be a good idea to add a hippo dehumidifer inside said cupboard too.

Eh, will it get very hot inside and ruin the food? Ok lor, maybe give this cupboard a little screen window too.

I also want to air-seal all my cutlery and crockery too!

Fuck man. When I was a kid my mom used to insist I rinse my forks and spoons instead of using them directly out of the cutlery drawer.

I used to think she was bonkers since the utensils are all washed clean before being put into the drawer. For years I ignored her.

One day, I saw an albino cockroach (slightly less gross than a normal one, but still a roach) happily crawling on the dessert spoons when I opened the cutlery drawer. I should have listened to Momo. :(

Air-sealed = Ok to use forks and spoons direct from the drawer.

That's presuming any insects managed to get pass your mighty screen windows and doors in the first place.

3) The sink as a deathtrap.

Humans can survive for weeks without food but only 3 days without water. Don't trust my statistics coz I can't be bothered to research them properly, but I think that's about right.

Since muthafucking lizards have porous skin, I presume they also need a hell lot of water to survive, just like humans. Roaches, not so much.

That's why we always see lizards crawling in kitchen sinks. (Or am I just unlucky here??)

Whenever I see this happen, I always spray the lizard with water until it is dizzy and meanwhile, squeeze dish-washing liquid all around the sink's edges.

Then I stand there and laugh as the lizard attempts to crawl out but keeps slipping back into the bottom. It's funny in a my-skin-is-crawling-but-why-am-i-smiling? way.

If it's small enough, I will try to force it down the drain. If it's too big... Well I managed to squeeze an adult one before... Maybe can chop it in half first....


But what if I am not around!?? I don't want any water-stealing lizard to survive, do I?

Therefore, I demand that a scientist should invent Lizislide. (Catchy isn't it??) Lizislide shall be the name of a stone material that is so smooth, lizards cannot hold a grip on it.

(There is a spray that creates this effect, but sprays wash off...)

Lizislide shall be used to construct all sinks. It will be a revolutionary product.

At the bottom of the sink shall be an insinkerator.

This "food" grinder can be set to "Automatically detect food and grind cruelly" during the night when you are not free to manually kill your pests.

So here goes:

Lizard is thirsty.

Lizard goes into sink, hoping to find water, maybe food bits if lucky.

Lizard happily crawls into sink; slides downwards rapidly; realises impending death as it sees insinkerator looming.

Lizard frantically waves hands, hoping to break the deadly fall; succeeds.

Lizard attempts to crawl out of sink.

After 6 attempts, almost makes it halfway when gravity did the inevitable and it drops into insinkerator with a sorry plop.

Insinkerator detects new "food"; makes a loud beep sound to warn lizard, but futile as lizard is trapped and does not understand beeps anyway; grinds lizards into paste.

At least lizard is not thirsty anymore - coz dead lizards can't thirst!!

HAHAHAHA!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

And anyway if Lizislide works then loads of walls can all be made with Lizislide!

4) Sprayable Lizard Spray

I know, Sprayable Lizard Spray sounds so corny... And also, this post is turning into another Lizard Hating Post.

Whatever.

I've come to realise that I hate encountering lizards way more than roaches because my killing rate of a roach is about 99%.

The only times I manage not to kill it is when it manages to run underneath a low cupboard which is too heavy for me to move.

But normally I am very determined for its death and I have 100% faith in the insect sprays nowadays!

Seriously man... About 3 sprays on the roach (even in midair) and the roach turns on its back pleading for mercy! At this point I'd grab it with loads of tissue, hold it as far as humanly possible from my face, and flush it down the loo.

But shitass lizards are muthafucking difficult to kill!

Killing rate is maybe 50% if I try hard enough. Nowadays I don't bother killing the big lizards coz it's just so goddamn gross.

They move so fast and sprays don't work on them!

The only way to kill them is via smacking, and there are not many objects around for you to smack them with that are hard enough and you don't mind dirtying.

I particularly like using the tinfoil roll. Tissue boxes don't work coz they are too soft. Just a note.

So therefore, here's a million dollar idea for Baygone: Why not a lizard spray?

Every spray shoots out a substance that can:

- Erode the lizard's disgusting skin. Just like how salt is to slugs. They can't be that different!

- Form into a spiderweb-like sticky piece to trap lizard in place while humans find an object to smash it with.

- Come up with something yourself, goddamn scientists! Do I have to tell you everything?

BTW I once sprayed a lizard with my Veet Hair Removal Cream. I don't think it worked. Or maybe it did make its skin hairless and silky.

I inadvertently made a bloody lizard more sexy.
