Miss Red Riding Hood & Her Pepper Spray.....

Once upon a time there in the land of the far far East lived in a certain city a girl named "Miss Red Riding Hood", the silliest creature you will ever meet was busying herself away with her daily chores. Till..... Her "next door" neighbour,the legendary Mr Bruce, sent her an email message from his cubicle entitled "Thursday Greeting".
Excessively bored of work, Miss Red Riding Hood decided to take a break and so she replied to his email......One thing led to another and soon Mr Bruce and Miss Red Riding Hood were discussing about safety measures a girl should take heed working in this big bad city called Kuala Lumpur. Soon enough, the topic of pepper spray popped up.




Miss Red Riding Hood told Mr Bruce that she has always wanted to own a pepper spray because she has always had a problem with weirdos.No,not the normal type of weirdos. But those who suffered from severe RES(Roving Eye Syndrome), severe pervertness, severe flashyness and severe SFS(Sexual Frustration Syndrome). Mr Bruce suggested Miss Red Riding Hood to get one for her own safety. She agreed and halted her email replies and set out for her lunch break.....

1 hour later................



"OMG!! Pepper Spray!!". Miss Red Riding Hood was excited when she saw a brand new pepper spray laying on her table. Mr Bruce smiled and said "That's for you!! Be safe!!It is my present to you"......And so, Miss Red Riding Hood was very happy and she couldn't wait to try her pepper spray.

Time flies, saved by the bell, it was already 6pm!! Off she went, carrying her gym bag and belongings. It wasn't long till she arrived at her destination. The gym!! Yes, the modern Red Riding Hood is actually a gym addict.


After 2 hours of tedious workouts, Miss Red Riding Hood decided it was time to go...So she went upstairs to the top floor of the fitness centre called "California" (by Jackie Chan) and took a shower. When she was done, Miss Red Riding Hood wrapped herself up with the towel provided and proceeded to the changing room.

It didn't take her long to get dressed and while she was rummaging through her bag for her keys, she heard her brand new pepper spray calling. Excited, she took it out from her bag and "click!!".She pressed down slightly to break the tabs and then!! "Psst!!". Whoops oh!! The lethal dose of capsaicin escaped and swirled around in the air.....

*Cough cough Sneeze Sneeze* Miss Red Riding Hood started to cough and sneeze uncontrollably.....and soon, she heard coughing from all across the changing room!! Yeeks!! She freaked and her quick actions saved her life from getting bashed. She immediately took her bags and ran to the far end corner of the changing room, still wrapped in towel and pretended to be one of the victims. Everyone in the room was panicking and a lady said "OMG!! That awful!! *cough cough*" and soon securities were walking up and down the changing room,trying to identify the source of the smell, or gas they called it. But to no avail.


Miss Red Riding Hood knew she was in trouble so immediately she put on her red hoody, blew dry her hair and ran away, as far as her legs could take her. Down the stairs, she saw securities there, whispering amongst themselves about the incident.

But no no, Miss Red Riding Hood is a coward who will not admit it was her who actually did it. So she ran home, a loser.


Sitting at home, in her own room now, Miss Red Riding Hood is actually worried about the outcome of the incident. Maybe she would be the talk of the gym tomorrow.....who knows? "Yeeks!!" she said......... ;s



But...but....thinking about it, this is not the first time Miss Red Riding Hood actually do stupid things. Once she even wore her teddy bear slippers, not on purpose of course!! and walked all the way to University in the chilly Melbourne winter!! And had passersby staring at her in disbelief!! So no, Miss Riding Hood shalt not bow down and admit her mistake muhuhuhu!!



THE END

Beeeeoooo...... the wulf!!

To be honest, I am a movie noob and am pretty outdated in terms of cinema and the latest movies. The only movies I am interested in are comedies and horror haha......don't like it? Shoot me!!

But....but....since today is my off day, I was so bored at home i decided to go watch a movie, alone....poor me :(. Since my bf left for home, I feel I am already half single haha(Miss those times though)...So i called my colleague and see if she was free for a movie and I found out she was having her piggy nap. I had no choice so off i went!!

Which movie did i choose?? To be honest, to kill time, I chose the one i didn't have to wait too long for.I reached at 1pm and "Beowulf" was showing at 1:30pm. So there!! Beowulf!!

I didn't know bout the movie when i bought the ticket though.So to add, when the lady at the counter found out I was going to watch it alone, she gave me the "awww...poor you" look...grrr!! Nevermind!! At 1:30pm, i was comfortably in my seat, munching on pop corns. Bout 2 minutes into it, I found out it's actually 3D!! So i thought "crap!! Should have chosen another one!!"......Well, am not really a big fan of realistic 3D movies though. But i decided to give "Beowulf" another chance.

Beowulf is actually an old English heroic poem which dates back to between the 8th and 11th century. In the movie, it tells the story of a heroic figure, Beowulf destroying the overpowering demon Grendel, incurs the undying wrath of the beast's ruthlessly seductive mother, who will use any means possible to ensure revenge.


This computer-generated piece is full of swagger, pride, and a gnarly sense of humor. The action begins with a splendid feast in the mead hall of King Hrothgar, a mighty monarch with a young, unhappy wife . The mead, for which he his renowned, flows freely, and eventually so do the drinking songs. The merry makings and drinking songs eventually irritates Grendel , the slimy and semi-decomposed monster who lives in the bottom of a swamp lake. He sets forth on a rampage that results in mayhem, death, and a closing down of the mead hall. Hrothgar offers half the gold in his kingdom to anyone who can kill the creature, and so Beowulf arrives. He’s full of boasts and promise to get rid of Grendel.


The 3-D effects are nothing short of stunning, starting from the first frame with a waterfall slithering at what appears to be several feet from the screen. Looks very realistic.Imaginative ways are also used to show off the extra dimension, even if it becomes almost comical at times.

Then again, smooth 360 shots with swords, spears, ship’s masts, and the pointier bits of dragons were good. Even a close-up circuit of a crown is darned impressive. At first, I didn't even realised it was 3D ! Equally imaginative are all the ways they find to hide Beowulf’s manhood as he takes on the monster Grendel wearing nothing but his, ahem......swagger!! But that was funny.


.


Though I find the 3D effects stunning!! But they don’t quite manage to get the human beings right. Aside from there being something rubbery about the flesh. And also the eyes look soulless. Expressions, movements don't look quite right. Especially when they run and galloping away on horseback. Don’t get me started on how downright silly a band of them galloping on horseback looks.

But overall, I find myself enjoying Beowulf. It's bloody, it's funny, it's exciting and it's impressive. a thrilling visit to an alien time and place, devoid of a single dull moment and spiked with something interesting, unexpected and visually gripping in virtually every frame

The Hallmark Boss!!

Check out this Hallmark Boss!! :p

Idiot's Guide To Healthy Work Ethics!!

Work Ethics....what are work ethics??

Work ethics are a set of values based on the moral virtues of hard work and diligence. It is also a belief in moral benefit of work and its ability to enhance character. Though today i had to work (Yes yes i know, it's a Sat!! But...but....what to do?? Am poor so shut up)........

And, and, I was crazy enough to come up with some "healthy"work ethics for my own enjoyment and hopefully yours hahaha.......and i dare myself to print it out and stick it on my desk or something haha....soon i mean :p


Idiot's Guide To Healthy Work Ethics!!

1) Be punctual.......not 30 minutes earlier, 20 minutes earlier, 10 minutes earlier or even a second earlier!! Start work at 8:30am means u reach there ON TIME!!.....not a second earlier.....What are the benefits of reaching there 30 minutes earlier anyway??

2) Employment letter states that working hour ends at 6pm!! So be it!! If your boss request you to stay later than that, write to HR department to make a complaint or ask for your lawyer!! It's abuse, it's against human rights!!

3) Humans are not robots!! Overwork will cause fatigue and stress and in the long run will affect your health.......If you actually disagree, i advice you to better book a place at the nearest mental hospital....maybe i might be the first.......

4) Work is never ending. The more you finish, the more will keep coming and at the end of the day, you will have 6 piles of files on your desktop. Even if you stay overnight, you will never get it done.......so just leave it and play with your magic wand and hope they will disappear....I have one......Or, just pretend those files actually belong to your colleagues, accidentally leave it on their tables accordingly and go home to get some beauty sleep.

5) When you face problems or make mistakes, your boss won't be the one to give you a helping hand or will he or she be the one to comfort u....Infact, you will have to put on your best helmet and step into the office for a day's worth of good bashing.....and follow by a yellow card......minus the whistle. But your family will always be there for you so cherish your family.......not your work.

6) Don't let your job screw up your life....

Monthly Salary = Work from 8:30am - 6pm ( If your bloody lucky that day)

8:30am - 6pm = Bad Employee + Lazy + 0 Performance + Bad Reputation + Possible Retrenchment + 0 Promotion + 0 Bonus = Highly Possible Retrenchment Candidate

8:30am - 10pm = 0 Bonus + 0 Ang Pow (red packets) + Bad Social Life + Bad Family Relationship + 0 Pomotion + Tons of Work + "Best Employee of The Month" (still minus the bonus) = Lots of work and keep dreaming of an upcoming promotion

7)
If anyone who disagrees with the above formulation, I think he or she is a loser, has no life, doomed workoholic, heartless and deserves to be crowned the "Best Employee of The Month" .

8) You don't give a damn if your boss fires you.

9) Chinese says "If the home in the east no longer keeps you, go to the one in the west"



PSST!! So you still wanna stay back and work late night?? Ciao lah!!

PS: Sorry peeps....PMSing!!

Babies Can Tell Friend From Foe!!


Interesting i find...awhile back scientists discovered that 2 month old babies look twice as much at the human face as it does at anything else. This suggested that human babies have some powers of pattern and form selection. Before this it was thought that babies looked out onto a chaotic world of which they could make little sense.

At one month babies can follow a slow-moving object. At two months babies can move both their eyes together and begin to appreciate how far away things are. At three months babies can tell the difference between members of the family. As a result of these and similar studies, psychologists have suggested that babies are born with a definite preference for viewing human faces. This would certainly make sense as human faces hold all sorts of useful information which is vital for the survival of the species.



And now......guess what?? New research reveals that infants who have not yet learned language can still judge who is friend and who is foe. haha yes.........so next time if you want to know if a baby finds u an angel or a devil, let them look at you. If they start crying then you know what it means :p.

Babies as young as 6 months old prefer people who cooperate versus people who hurt, and this ability could be the foundation for moral thought and action later in life. In fact, being able to distinguish between friend or foe could be an important survival skill. It's important to tell who is going to be helpful, who is going to be threatening.

scientists conducted a series of simple experiments to gauge whether 6- and 10-month-old infants preferred social individuals ("helpers") or anti-social individuals ("hinderers").

In one experiment, the infant watched a "climber" (basically a wood puppet with large eyes glued on to it) repeatedly try to climb a hill. On the third try, the climber was either given help or was pushed back down by a puppet.


The babies were then given the chance to choose (reach out and grasp) either the helper or hinderer puppet.


Basically, they found very high rates of babies choosing the helping character

Bunny Boiler!! :p

Bunny boiler is one of the segments from"Balls of Steel" as well.

This segment is starred by Thaila Zhucci where she flirts with a man whilst in the company of his girlfriend to provoke a reaction from her. Thaila is being portrayed as a flirtacious girl who likes wearing provocative clothes.

Though i find this segment abit mean but I think, it is a good way to find out if your man is actually head over heels in love with you ;). Maybe I should try that ahahaha!!

In this episode, Thaila tried to flirt with this guy called Greg infront of his girlfriend, Jun. Poor Jun........she was helpless and what was worst of all, Greg actually appears to be a jerk!! Not only did he flirts with Thaila infront of his own girlfriend but he even ignored Jun when she spook of her disapproval with his behaviour.

Jun left in a huff but her boyfriend Greg just sat there and did nothing and continued to flirt with Thaila........What a jerk!! If i were Jun, I would have dumped him straight away!! but infortunately she got back with him :s
