Funny commercials

Last night I was searching for the link of Kenny Sia's Mister Potato commercial to send to CM. It's really funny I think. The hilariousness is attention-catching. Especially the facial expression of the 'fishes' when they open their mouths to wait for more potato chips. Very funny.



This made me feel like watching funny commercials. Then I remembered that this 7-11 express payment Thai commercial I watched back in few years ago is very funny. So I went to youtube to search for it again. Miraculously I manage to find this video with the keyword "Thai funny ad". This shows how good this commercial is. Very excellent in passing the message to audience and fun to watch at the same time. This commercial is my all time favourite. Thumbs up recommendation from me.




Then I look for other Thai advertisements. These are ok ok la.. Too exaggerating already. But the ter-shred the document the boss gave one is damn funny. And the overjoy reactions the guys had when they found a carpark space. Very true indeed but normally we won't act that way, it somehow speak my feelings. =P Carparks are hard to find nowadays.

Scent freak

I have very unique taste for scents. Some find it very weird, some share the same taste.

1. For those who know what LB agar/broth is, I love the smell when it is being autoclaved. I mean those clean LB agar/broth, not LB waste with bacteria. Autoclave of LB waste has distinct smell of bacteria. Not as nice as clean LB. My colleagues are all very traumaed by my like towards LB smell. Haha. CY said she heard from a seminar that excessive inhalation of Trypton in LB will intoxication. hmm...

2. I just discovered that 70% ethanol has very nice smell. It exactly smells like alcohol la. And I can feel the sudden of dizziness when I sniff in the vapour. This is a good (but expensive) substitute for alcohol which has the bitter taste I dun like. Haha. I think sniffing 70% ethanol is the least risky of all coz it should be quite purely ethanol (is it?). Hehe. And ethanol is edible ma. So it should be ok gua. =P

3. I like the smell of bleach. Either chlorine in the swimming pool or the bleach from clothes washing. After contacting the bleach, the hand will smells a bit bleach. I like the smell since the day I started to like swimming. It's something like Pavlov's theory I guess. You know, the theory where bell is rang when food is served to a dog, then the dog secretes saliva whenever the bell rang. Whenever I smell bleach, I will feel the euphoria I feel when I'm swimming.



Mum had been warning me about the risk of sniffing too much chemicals coz she thinks this will lead to cancer. She might be right. Die la. I somemore go and sniff more when I find that I like the scents. Higher chances of getting a cancer? hmm.. Should I just stick to the 70% ethanol? lol.

I'll leave the discussion here. Gotta go sleep already. So tired. Nights.

Was reading Nicole's new post. It brought me tears and heartache (eh. serious one, it really hurts). And my heart feel very heavy. How can such Cambodians endured such cruelty back then? So sad...

Just read paper today and found that Clinton's out and go to support Obama pula. Maybe this is the best resolution for her. Maybe she knows that she will lose. So the best resolution is to support the potential winner, help him to win and then she can become vice president. Clever tactic.

Heard from Poovan that Bukit Jalil got a very nice and deep swimming pool (about 2 meters deep). Makes me feel like going there and have a swim. Hehe. Entry fee is RM5 if I'm not wrong and free on Friday but only free for a few session.

Just random

An update on my life saving training:

(1) 300 m within 9 minutes ok as usual
(2) Swim 50m extended-tow 50m finished in 3 mins and 14 seconds (1 more second slower then I'm screwed), hmm.. need more practice on this.
(3) Swim 25m crosschest-tow 25m with clothes on still ok.
(4) Double restrain failed at first restrain (sink and panic when victim struggle. Can't maintain victim head's above the water when victim is struggling)
(5) Swim, chin-tow and blow air x 3 failed at transfering victim's head (leg can stand on the ground or the side of the pool while transfering)
(6) Throw rope sometimes ok sometimes not.
(7) Learn new thing on how to loosen the victim's grip in water (3 types: 2 types of hand grips and bear hug from behind)
(8) Didn't practice on pulling victim out of pool, recovery position, 100m in 100s, underwater 25m, jump water technique, bandages.

Finally bought sleeping bag and mess tin for IW camp. Last time I borrowed sleeping bag from my brother. But when I wanted to borrow from him this time he suggested me to buy one for myself since I like outings so much. Hehe. He's right. So I get myself my own sleeping bag. =) I bought the cheapest one. Only RM19.90. Hahaha. Then I realised that the sleeping bag can be zipped open and become an extra tilam. Somemore it's quite big when it's spread out. About queen size. Haha. I earned one extra tilam. =D Mess tin costs more than what I expected. RM18.90 for 2 mess tins. I thought around RM7 each le. Why so expensive one...

I still can't wait to go IW =D

Arranged time for my students for substitution of next week cancellation. But I think cancellation of tuition class will happen again because

(1) my new job is demanding, might have to work on Saturday
(2) I might join other Raleigh activities
(3) I might teach swimming after I got my life saving cert

For me, teaching chemistry is not for the money already now. It's about the responsibility towards my students' results. I want them do good. But it's also the responsibility that brings me the stress and sometimes I find myself dunno how I should teach them to ensure they absorb the most out of it. Sigh. That's why I always dread to give tuition nowadays. It's stressful. Any tips Val?

Instead of buying clothes for myself in the Padini Concept store sales, I bought one more T-shirt for Heng yesterday. Last time wanted to buy the T-shirt one. But then no size. Then now Padini sales they sell the T-shirt at RM14.50, somemore with the size I want. What the hell. I bought another T-shirt (same category one) last time at RM25 le. Should have waited until sales. I didn't know it was new arrival back then.

So in conclusion I bought this T-shirt for Heng. Hope he likes it. =)

Just nonsense

What have you realized recently?
That I have so many things to do within a short period of time (I mean my personal life, not including work somemore)

Have you given your first kiss away?
Yea. Need explain more? lol.

If you were to be stranded on a deserted island, who're the buddies you would take with you?
Any one of the Raleigh people. Coz they have good skills when it comes to jungle and camping, and maybe food sourcing. Muahaha.

Are u satisfy with life you have now or you want more?
More than satisfying. =) I'm given many good chances. It's just depending on my performance on everything I'm having now. It's more on whether I can give my best.

What makes you mad?
When I'm already late and the traffic makes my mood worse. =P

What do you think of yourself?
Careless. Forgetful. Low self esteem. Eh? Why think of all bad things one. Really got low self esteem. lol. I'm cheerful, bubbly, lame (is this a good thing?), easy-go-lucky, easy to mix (means not a difficult person), truthful, like to think about life (and confuse myself more with various philosophies. haha), want to explore and adventure more because I think life is not only about studies and work.

Is there someone you're thinking of now?
Thinking when is Heng going online. Thinking of my dad whether he had a happy birthday today.

If you have faults, would you rather the people around you point out to you
or would you rather they keep quiet?
Tell me. At times I will cannot accept the fact, but slowly I will. =)

Who was the last person you hugged?
My mum. =)

Who knows you the best?
Mum, CP, Aud, Heng

Throughout ur life,what hurts you most?
I'm not gonna disclose this. But this is got to do with relationships. =P

Whats the last shocking thing you've seen or heard?
Yesterday when I heard the petrol price was increasing to RM2.70 by 12am today. Luckily went to queue up quite early (around 6 something) and saved RM24 from this. Today onwards my petrol full tank will be RM100 already instead of RM70 last time. =(



Ei! What am I doing now? I seriously need to start working on the preparation for the tuition now. See you in my next post.
