celebrity doubles!

Do you believe that there is someone living in this earth that looks really like you, even though you two are not related at all, like complete strangers. Well, I do - there might be someone living in Ghana or Alaska that looks really like me. So, don't be surprised if you see 'me' when you're skiing in Alaska. But then, how do you know who's who when people are all wearing ski masks? (fyi: ski masks are those things that robbers put on their faces, unless yours use stockings.)

Real Skiers, NOT robbers!

Can't find one that wears those masks, maybe they don't wear them anymore.

I think I heard the-someone-who-looks-like-you thing on tv (again!) a verryyy long time ago. You just have to search the whole globe to find yours & turning those fakey globes in stuffy libraries are not considered searching. Anyway, I reckon celebs have it easier in finding their doubles, because more people know them & their lookalikes are always springing out from ulu places.

Okay, so here are 2 pairs that I thought of.

Milk & Wayne

They can't be brothers, one's surname is Liu, the other Ye.

Scarily alike..

Charlyn Lin & 蝴蝶姐姐

They have the same ears, face shape, nose, eyes & smile... 蝴蝶's eyes look bigger because of makeup lah.

I think they look like sisters & of course Charlyn will be the older one, because she is. hahahaha

recent news - yeah, like cnn news.

fried tofu in teriyaki sauce. it's the best tofu I've eaten by far.

I think it's because the tofu taste is covered by the sauce.

so... i'm drinking the sauce & not eating the tofu.

FROM THE THRIFT STORE AT SEMB! (for New Hope) S$5 only.

it was a waterproof cam but the case was broken so the woman gave it to me at 5 dollars. cheap!

confession: there was a kbuddy logo (how random is that?!) but I scraped it out with a 5cent & 50cents coin. it left scratches though, :( but I covered it with stickers of marine animals. To let her have a feel of her roots, you know, like as an underwater cam.

she will be called undees (not undies!) from now on.

Selling at gmarket at $16.90 (original price $29.90)

exact same one okay!

Christmas isn't Xmas!

our first christmas rally! (:

lovely.

ql's wilted flower. oh, u can see our script!

ql's sunflower w/ the wilted pink 1.

anw, a sunflower stinks & has gooey, sticky stuff in the really big & brown center thing. Then it dries almost immediately, right there on my finger!And the nearest sink was like 5 meters away. sooo troublesome.

the actresses must have suffered alot smelling flowers in movies.

one of the decorations. Didn't know our church had a whole treasure trove of Christmas decors! Some are really really pretty, I just love tinsel although they're irritatingly scratchy & musty-stinky. We even have the blinking lights & i learnt that it's quite hot when you wrap it around you...

new keep-using word: lovely.

word to describe today: loreally = really lovely

not loreal, please.

ahhhh, that loveely day.

had nasty cramps in the morning & made ginger tea.

It's the first time I'm doing it & it tasted more like water dipped in ginger.

The other time my dad did, it was like they added pepper in it or something.

Really nice and thrilling, haha.

But the warm water (looks can be deceiving!) did its job.

ps. can you see that the gouchi turned freaking orange?!

wm caught on camera at night! lovely flash.

Westlife - What About Now
Daughtry - What About Now

Westlife did a freaking cover of daughtry's song! (%&@%$£) They made it soppier & the video was full of type B angmohs mouthing words. fyi: type A's those w/ red hair, type B's those w/blonds. There were ice-caps everywhere (in westlife's vid) & if it was added to raise awareness for the melting ice, they should consider removing the gayish-shots of them. Did daughtry ever appeared on in the video? (even if he did I wouldn't recognize him anyway.... okay i just saw him, if that was him.)

oh & it just crossed my mind that westlife can do whatever they want to the song, they can interpret it in anyway they like. because it's a cover. But still.

They are the epitome of weirdness.

Men around 30s probably should not be appearing in videos like these. And definitely not with four men squeezed up trying to fit into our youtube screens. The poor guy w/ messy hair had his face cut, you know?!

ps. I thought backstreet boys & westlife were like very good friends cos both are so alike. you know, something like brother-boybands.

Why I want Garmin-Asus M20

New kid on the block - Garmin-Asus! This is the new brand of cellphones that sprang out recently. When I heard of it, the 'asus' part of it reminded me of laptops. Being curious bout it, I googled their website & sure enough, I found my answer. It's an alliance which "allows the two companies to combine their complementary resources". So it's like two kids; Garmin & Asus decided to combine their fireman toy & fire-truck to build a fire brigade. Except that it's a satellite navigation & IT company.

But, the point is - their phone. The novelty of a new brand with a somewhat exotic name made the hi-def pictures of the phone exude a foreign smell. (it's metaphorical & I'm so not smelling my grime-layered screen) The phone looks incredibly sleek, not like my current one. (snorts) & I SO LOVE THE BLUE ONE. There's another nokia phone with a candier version of this colour btw. Pardon me, been phone hunting for bro cos plan's expiring. Anyway, this phone looks pretty grown up & since I'm always mistaken for being 18, it beats the scratched and chipped pinkish pink (REALLY pinkish) one I have now. LOOK AT IT!

Let me introduce formally: This is the Garmin-Asus Nuvifone M20! (Not m18)

Quite something, eh?

WHY I WANT IT

1. It has this connected service, another name for useful apps - including white pages, flight data, movie times and even.... fuel prices?! Okay, so some of it isn't useful for people like me, but it's just an added function, I guess. And it will come in handy one of these days.

2. If you did read the part abt Garmin, you'll know that it's a statellite navigation comp. So, the main plus-point of this M20 is the navigation function. Meaning, you can go anywhere with this phone. It will bring you to anywhere you want it to.

No more googling the night before, no more papers scribbled with directions, no more printed maps. Just you, your phone and the directions you used to agonize over. I can find out which named piece of the earth's crust I'm standing on too, of course. In case you might be kidnapped or dumped somewhere by the prank-enthusiast who happens to be your best friend. Not that I have, thank God. Did you watch 'pranked' on MTV?! Those people are plain-jane-cruel. Anw, the navigator is voice operated (yay! can talk back & annoy them) & it comes with a car mount.

3. Other than the generic functions, it has picture geo-tagging too. Which means you can find out where that place is (in the photo) & you can go there, with directions, duh uh. So if you happen to find your husband's picture with his mistress taken in her house then you can go hunt her like a desperate housewife would.

4. The phone can view png & bmp file formats = no more converting; really convenient.

5. Talking about viewing, you can read words, ppt, excel & pdf files too, with a Microsoft Windows® Mobile Professional 6.1 operating system. Can download the ppt into my phone then refer to it as I press ppt on sundays. COOL!

6. This is another cute detail - you have to fix the jig-saw to unlock the phone/receive a call. Creative & definitely fresh.

FOUR WORDS:

Diff'rent Strokes - CUTE!

Watched the Diff'rent Strokes's minisode yesterday on hallmark. It's a super old 80s sitcom but really funny, like The Nanny, hahahhaha


The 1st 3 is Gary Coleman playing Arnold Jackson, super cute right! He's like an adult (in the show) & I mean the whole package; the talk, facial expressions & even his beer belly. The last one is Sam (Danny Cooksey), super cute too! But I don't think he appears on all the episodes.

But you know, the weird thing is; these people are all grown-ups and here I am thinking they're cute like babies, or maybe toddlers.

This is the Romeo & Juliet episode







Check out the bulimia one also, just search 'diff'rent strokes bulimia' on utube.

You know, I might get hooked on this.

fast food

Read "Chew On This: Everything You Don't Want to Know About Fast Food" and very much alike to the title, I discovered most of the things they (fast food restaurants) don't tell.Read and very much alike to the title, I discovered most of the things they (fast food restaurants) don't tell.

1. Eat more crispy chicken & your aorta will be 'crispy' too - This was I think in one of those Dr. Oz episodes. He used to be in the Oprah Show but I think he got has own program now. It was in one of his episodes where he showed the organs of recently dead people, a gruesome contrast of healthy vs. not healthy. It starts with the brain to the heart and in between, there's the aorta. In case you don't know, it's an important vein carrying something to the heart or something like that. You just need to know that it's important - if it's clogged, you'll be having a heart attack. Okay, the healthy one is a bit springy and the unhealthy one is hardened and sort of crispy. This is the summary (comes w. pics) of the episode, Inside The Human Body.

2. Love the 'pop' - You've probably heard of the slaughterhouse workers smacking chicken on walls or stepping on them to make them die but you might not know why. It's because the demand for chicken went up, and so did the queue in the slaughterhouses. And the only way to ease the queue is to do it manually meaning you kill the chickens yourself. So there goes the smacking, jumping. But this is even worse: a worker said that he/she likes to hear the 'popping' sound when the you jump on it. That's why he/she did it..... creepy.

3. Not only animals - The cruel treatment of animals got much publicity but not that of slaughterhouse workers. They work in a very dangerous environment and are paid very little - imagine taking risking the probability of being one of those beef/meat everyday at work. And it says in the book (which quoted from The Jungle by Upton Sinclair) that "a man fell into a vat an got turned into lard. The plant kept running, and the lard was sold to the public." That book was written quite long ago (published in 1906) and I'm not sure whether it's still like that now. But the point is when people heard about the facts in this book, they noticed the cruelty of animals, but not the slaughterhouse workers' welfare. Why? Because the chicken is the food that they'll eat, not the people. These workers used to have labour unions, which fought for better wages. But after the fast-food industry took off, the companies moved to places where labour unions are weak and exploit the workers. But, if slaughterhouses increased the wages, they'll go bust. And then our chicken prices will skyrocket. It seems like a change made by man is impossible.

There are many other facts but these 3 are the ones that struck me hard. There're sooo many stuff that is just.. out there. But if you're not lucky, you would live in oblivion. If I didn't go to the library, (I was 'dragged' there cos my bro went to the lib & forgot to bring his lib card) I wouldn't have seen this book and I will not have boycotted fast-food. & yeah, I'm not going to eat fast food from now onwards. I hope I won't give in to the temptation of the oil-soaked white meat.

new technique! finally learnt how to do this, thanks to online tutorials.
