little things that amuse me...

looking back at year 2007, i tink i have quite a boring life. i didnt accomplish any of the resolutions which i set in end 2006. LOL. oh well, whadaya know.. who was i kidding?? hahahhahaha..

i was quite gloomly last year. i tink for this year, i want to be more cheerful and happier. if tats difficult. i wan to at least be less depressed. hahaha. anyway, its only been like 10 days into 2008. and already, there were a number of things/events that really amused me.. that made me laughed.. or made me smiled from inside..

1) Barron Hilton, the chairman of Hilton hotel, reportedly donated 97% of his assets to charity!! WOW!!! and he still has abt 100 million dollars left. WOW!!! freaking rich. and imagine all the faces of the people who'll benefit from his cash! that made me smile from inside. another reason for smiling is, Paris will no longer inherit that obscene amt of money. LOL. although she still has like 5 million to inherit (oh wat the hell?!), assuming the 100 million left is shared among Barron's 20 over grandkids. (oh, btw, i'm puzzled by the western tradition? culture? of naming their kids after the father or grandfather. Barron's father, founder of Hilton hotel, is Conrad Hilton. and guess what? Paris's brother is also Conrad Hilton. Conrad's wife was Mary Barron. and surprise surprise, Paris's other brother, is another Barron Hilton! lol.)

2) i was on train to home after work on the NEL train. i boarded at outram, and this mother n daughter came in at next station. the cabin's rather empty and they were talkin so loudly. the gal received an sms, and she said to the mother "he reached home safely", to which the mother said "ok, reply Congratulations" hahahaha.. tats so funny loh! and after like 20 secs, the gal "how to spell congratulations?" the way they converse is like so funny. and then the door opens.. quite loudly. and the mother was like "wah! kenna shocked! sounds like bomb, don't you tink??" VERY LOUDLY. like wan the world to know she said the words 炸弹, which is a sensitive word lah, seeing the adverts at the stations teaching us to be vigilant against terrorism. and she made tat statement EVERY TIME THE DAMN DOORS OPEN, which was like for the next 6 stops. omg. amusing. and the door wasn't even that loud. more like a lau hong balloon kenna pricked burst. haha

3) Jay Chou. i read i-weekly or sth, and there's a advert on his new movie, kungfu slamdunk. and i just went 傻眼. hahahhaha.. he looked so stupid, almost retarded expression. so funny! the gong-gong look... even more 呆 than initial D. so unlike him loh! ok there are alot of posters for this movie, the one i saw was him with a hood over his head. haha. the amusing thing is, the NEXT page was the ad on his upcoming concert. and he's at his usual, cool. and the lighting was perfect, got dark shades and shadows on his face.. very cool lah. so its a super contrast. my conclusion: gong-gong and cool-cool 只在一线之差. LOL.

4) i finally completed the DS game, Legend of Zelda. i give the game 9.8 points out of 10!! at first i tot its just another cartoonish game. but once i got the gist and hang of it, i got addicted! its sth like a super mario game where u collect items for power etc, with 360 directional movements (as in mario only moves left to right) but Zelda is like u move all around and much more fun. i got sick of yoshi island after 10 mins. for Zelda, its very simlar to the PlayStation game, the Alundra series (which i loved and completed in NUS days), there are puzzles in between... and obstacles and strategy maze in the temples.. like u need to move stealthily to avoid the warlocks from seeing you... and fighting against the big bosses got specific way one, not jus anyhow slash. it took me several tries in order to know how to defeat the boss. sometimes its really difficult. can pull my hair out. but when i complete that mission, sense of achievement sia!!

there's one obstacle that really got me stuck. i'm supposed to shoot arrow at this eye ornament on the wall. but whenever i face it, the eye will be closed. with my back at it, den it opens. so no matter how i shoot, also cannot. i even tried to use my boomerang, throw bombs, all no success! finally, i went to read up on the game FAQ online. turns out, i had to tie a rope between 2 poles. and shoot an arrow at it. the arrow will BOUNCE BACK and hit the eye. so amusing. the arrow will bounce back off the rope!! tats so not logical! no wonder i couldnt get it. lol.

5) the coffee bean at my office building sells their cakes at 50% off after 5pm. and i bought 2 slices today. a mudpie and chocolate of a thousand leaves. enough said. lol.

6) i just ate a perfectly tasty black pepper chicken chop, which i ta-bao from my house de hawker for dinner. the sauce is ooh laa laa!! and i love black pepper. need i say more?

7) ok this one is the the ultimate. can become classic liao. i was with my friend at vivo. on the way home, i brought up the topic abt Britney Spears. with all due respect, i used to like her alot in my secondary school days. everyone in my class was "my loneliness is killing me" haha. tats how popular and likeable she was back then. den tat day, i said i really wonder wats going on with Britney? just wat the hell she thinking? sent to hospital, appeared to be influenced by drugs and booze. sigh. den i said her 2 baby boys very poor thing. ironic rite, mummy so rich, but her life is so messed up. sigh. den me and my friend started to talk abt what caused Britney to act like this.. the next part of conversation simply blew me away, i haven't smiled from inside in a really long time, that also totally made my day. hehe. the conversation was somewhat as follows...:

ME: maybe splitting up with Justin Timberlake?
friend: perhaps the divorce with her husband caused her breakdown.
ME: wah lau! when she married that Kevin-good for nothing scumbag-Federline, she's already off and messed up liao. somemore willing to bear his kids, when all he did was waste Britney's money on flashy cars and endless night clubs partying with babes and wat nonsense. to tink he receives alimony from Britney every month. wat the hell?
friend: huh? Britney's 2 kids are not Justin's meh? i heard the news that Britney is in court battling with Justin over custody of the kids leh."

*pause*

i almost rolled down the escalator.
