Skull



Somehow I just love skull prints.
If you have seen me in person, I think you will realise that skull is on all parts of me.
Shirts, hats, pendants, dog tags, rings.
Well, somehow I think that skull is kind of cool.
Maybe I've been reading too much One Piece.
But seriously, it's one of the most recognised fashion icon (more common than smileys).
True enough, some people think quite negatively about skull prints.
They think that it's evil.
You can't fault them for it, cause after all it belongs to the Gothic theme.
But at least, it's less scary than a crucifix (pardon me, I am not a Christian).
I also feel that a skull means reincarnation or rebirth instead of annihilation and obliteration.
Further more, who say skull can't be cute?
If you have been playing Mario, don't you think that dry bones is cute?
There are also many characters related to skull in the fictional world.
Like Brook from One piece for instance (Ok, he's not cute, I admit it).
Oh and a skull is always smiling~!
I've yet seen one skull which is frowning like there's no tomorrow.
But still, I won't be wearing skull print stuff in a graveyard.
Why? Well, I don't want the "neighbours" there to think that I am one of them... that's just so ominous, right?

lathe

Working on the lathe again after quite some time was like meeting a long lost friend.
Though there are some difference between the one which I've been using in the past
Lathe used to be a simple machine, but it seemed so troublesome now
No files or abrasive papers can be used.
Instead, speed control is used to add the finishing touch.
Perhaps its because of the use of steel (mild),
but we need to add lubricant which we have never heard, seen or smelt before.
They've also made the wearing of some ridiculously hard and heavy shoes compulsory.
This sorts of makes me wonder,
how on earth can we walk around the school with these kind of rotten junk on our feet whole day.
I mean that is if they made it compulsory.
Imagine running laps with that extra few kg.
I'd rather endure the heat of the afternoon tar track, seriously.

Oh and anyone who is able to reach this site will realise that I've changed the link.
David said that this link is more suitable, so I've shifted it here.
But there's one small problem...
I keep forgetting about the link of my own blog...
How can I continue writing here if this goes on???
Afterall, I am the owner here!
What if I changed the name of my dog and forgot about it after a while?
Hope he doesn't becomes a stray dog because of that.

Roach

Just saw a roach running across the living hall...
Woke my dad up (I don't want to do the killing)
but he said "leave it till tomorrow, just let it run around".
What on Earth ... ?!
Then I went to grab a can of pesticide and sprayed a few puffs.
It went under the alter.
Will it die there?
And who will clear it when it does?

火爆浪子

有時候真的會無緣無故地想隨便抓個人來揍一頓
雖然我的理性的直覺常常會告訴我忍耐的好處
可我也得承認我的脾氣很暴躁
問題不是我常常會發脾氣
問題是我的拳頭整天會發癢
說實話, 比高低需要理由嗎
還是說, 鬥心已經不重要了
雖然所人以和為貴
可也不見得我對人好 他們就會用同樣的方式來對待我
所以嘛 如果有人無緣無故地打你的右臉 記得打囘他的左臉哦~!

Poo-pop part 2

Saw some more Poo-pop (sounds better than dung-pop right?) in the sushi bar today. Hmmm... am I becoming poo-pop obsessed? Oh and I want to correct myself about yesterday's post. There are 3 different kinds of poo-pops (instead of one), one pink, one light blue and one brown. Oh and there's this cute little honeydew/watermelon... well, nothing much to mention about but just to let you know ... erm, yea ...
Blue = 波子汽水味, Pink = 桃味
honeydew pop

I kinda like the little fly on the wrapper

Dung-pop & Grass-cake

Saw this dung shaped lollipop in one of those Japanese sushi bar. Kinda cute. Got it for $6 HKD. I've only realised that its coke favoured after I've put it in my mouth. Thought that it was chocolate or coffee... (Btw, its about the size of your pinky's nail... erm... something like htat)
Packaging
Dung lollipop. Cute?
There's also this kinda small little rice cakes which they call "草餅". Think it is known as grass cakes in English... (Do we need the "Japanese" infront?) Kinda soft and squeezy and there's some kinda cream fruit fillings inside which taste kinda ... well ... artifical? Anyway, there's honeydew and strawberry to choose from and a packet of 8 costs 32 HKD.

黑與白

還記得有一個算命的跟我講和我配的顔色是黑與白, 然後還說那些五顔六色的東西不適合我
好奇怪哦, 爲什麽算命的可以算到你跟哪一種顔色配或不配的嗎?
... 真的是第一次聽到這種算命法哦...
可如果我比較適合黑和白的東西的話, 豈不是我每天得看黑白電視?
我的電腦也是不是該放個黑白的熒光幕呢?
靠... 怎麽看哦?
我也不是屬狗呢!
還是龍的眼睛裏頭的世界也是黑白的?
這我可不懂哦...
嗯嗯...
那就是説我這網志也得換囘一個黑白的皮囖?
可是黑與白中間還存在著一堆有不同深度的灰
而這些灰色地帶還可以調教出該深度的不同顔色
中學不是教過的嗎? 紅橙黃綠藍靛紫....
好啦好啦...這些幼稚的屁話你們都應該懂得啦~
可話説回來, 那個算命的也幫我家看風水
他也在我家的客廳擺了一個超大的彩色假魚缸
可哪不就跟我的"黑白" 有衝突了嗎?
算了... 懶得跟他計較...

Mensa AGM (annual general meeting)

Today is Hong Kong mensa's annual general meeting. Nothing much happened there. Trivial matters such as finance status (wow, HKmensa has around 300k HKD in their bank account), words of thanks, next year's mensa committee's membership (the dudes who bosses around), and some close-to-everyday discussions are being explained and discussed. I've sat through the whole of the meeting without saying a word (I still feel alienated in mensa) except for the last discussion for which I will elaborate slightly later. Alright, the membership card!
Front

Back

Not really much of a card right? Doesn't really have much use of this card except for the proof of your mensan status. I thought for quite some time that they will send the membership card to me by mail, which they've stated in the membership application form (under the address section). Well, it's our duty to ensure that the mail containing our membership card arrives, right? And if they had the intention to issue the card in the meeting, why put such a misleading statement on the form? Worse still, the people in the meeting are complaining about why we are asking for our membership cards and all =.=... Oh well, the only word which I've said in the meeting is that the membership card issuing proceedures are far too misleading. After the meeting, they went for the dinner, and I went home. Well, would have gone to the dinner if I had known more people... guess it's time to mix around and talk more rot on their forum~ Oh and I've heard that the membership card is different each year. Wonder what design it is next year? Hope that they have some kind of card designing competition and stuff, would be cool~

八卦

剛剛跟一個網友講完話, 而也因爲某些事被他叫了我一聲無聊.
有時候我在想, 無聊跟八卦也是件人之常情的事吧?
怎麽說好呢......
仲而然之, 每個正常人都會在某些程度上對某些事有一定的 "求知欲" 吧?
要不然, 報紙和雜誌那裏可能賣得那麽好啊?
這世界也哪有人會看新聞哦?
陳冠希也不用辭職不干了吧?
... 好啦, 先不要說那些離譜的話題先...
可是哦, 如果人們都不好奇兼八卦的話, 那我們的生活會有多麽的無聊哦~~~
不是嗎?
還記得我這幾次跟我小學的朋友出去, 他們的話題都會圍繞著 "我們小學同學在幹什麽?" 這話題裏...
而他們怎麽知道別人在干麽呢? 也不就是以一傳十, 十傳百的方式了來偷料的~
或是在facebook裏看到的...
哎! 要不是他們八卦, 誰會去管某某在干麽啊? 時間多得是是嗎? 吃飽飯沒事干啞?
所以說嗎, 人天生就是八~
我也承認我八~ 八仔一個~
要不然我也不會貿貿然地去加入什麽門薩會啦~~~ 真的以爲我錢多得很啊?
嗯嗯, 所以親愛的讀者們, 你們懂我的看反了吧?
好了, 今天到這吧, 因爲我那只XXX的狗又在挖我的包包了...!
人八就好了嗎... 為什麽連狗都八?!?!?!?!?!?!?! 受不了了啦~~~!!!!!!

Something that's still bothering me: what is the need of an eye-hole when there's a window beside the door?

The room which has accompanied me through my six years of stay in Singapore, bye~!
