the ronnie how adventure

For those of you who remembered, Mr Ronnie How here left us in Brissie (and gave us a REALLY short notice about it) sometime in February this year.  This fella found out that we three monkeys were heading home for the summer break and planned (yet another short notice)  an impromptu trip to Kuching. SO, given the kancheongness of the situation, Lyn played hostess and offered her apartment for Ronnie to crash at for the whole 8 days.

Knowing Ronnie How (don't mind the "formal" name calling, it's the only way we call him by name), it didn't take long for him to drop his 'paiseh-ness' and made himself at home.

What CAN you do in Kuching for 8 days, you ask? 

We ask ourselves the same question everyday too. 

Sigh. 

"Where you want to go today, Ronnie?"

"What you wanna do today, Ronnie?"

"What you want to makan today, Ronnie?" 

We kept him entertained. 

(with a complimentary Munkie for abuse)

We kept him company. 

(when he refused to sleep alone in the apartment after watching Lyn's collection of pochong DVDs)

We fed him well.

(VERY well, I must add)

We even let him play with the car.

We brought him sight-seeing.

(although there was nothing much to see)

And before you know it, it was time for him to leave us. AGAIN.

Thus, the Ronnie How adventure ended well. If not in Kuching, or Brissie, we'll probably have another chance meeting with our Ronnie How in Singapore :)

And so, it was the end of a fun week out. 

And the beginning of a dreadful row of babysitting boredom.

Owh well, I had my fun.

sweet summer break escape!

Summer heat has just kicked in.

Exams will be over in two weeks time.

 

And the girls of bardon are heading home.

survivor season 75 - earth

Ever wondered how will watching movies come in handy when you're suddenly in deep shit?

Highly inspired by Yahoo's list of Hollywood Movie Apocolypse, humankind will now be more

 prepared for the end of the world when it comes in whatever form.

Girls of Bardon's

Guide to Surviving

the End of the World

Cause #1 : Angry toys

Think : Child's Play, Small Soldiers, Puppet Master

What You Can Do : Be nice to your toys and keep them tied and locked up in a SECURED place when not in use (i.e: safe deposit vaults)

Cause #2 : Falling chunks of meteors

Think : Armageddon, Deep Impact

What You Can Do : Avoid living in major cities with easily recognizable landmarks (i.e: NYC's Statue of Liberty, Paris' Eiffel Tower, London's Big Ben, etc.)

Cause #3 : Outbreak of viral infection

Think : I am Legend, 28 Days/Weeks Later, Resident Evil (1, 2, 3)

What You Can Do : Stay healthy to avoid mutation. Eat your vegies and LOTSA Vitamin C.

Cause #4 : Alien invasion

Think : Mars Attack, War of the Worlds, Independence Day

What You Can Do : Build an underground safehouse and stock up on supplies. Don't be an American (aliens seem to prefer them more than Asians).

Cause #5 : Angry Mother Nature / Greenhouse effect / Global Warming

Think : The Day After Tomorrow, Waterworld, The Happening

What You Can Do : Don't piss Mother Nature off. RECYCLE!

Cause #6 : Imaginary freaks and monsters

Think : Stephen King's IT, Nightmare on Elm Street

What You Can Do : Avoid clowns, period. Never piss off a weirdo who might take revenge on your kids in the future. Get Jason to kick Freddy's ass.

Cause # 7 : Zombies 

Think : Shaun of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Michael Jackson's Thriller videoclip!

What You Can Do : Do lots of target practise, aiming for the head. Build up stamina on running.

Cause #. 8 : Angry robots

Think : Terminator (1, 2, 3), The Matrix 3: Revolution

What You Can Do : Monitor your iPhone/iPods for any suspicious activities.

Cause # 9 : Angry evil children

Think : Children of the Damned, Children of the Corn, The Omen

What You Can Do : Avoid blonde kids who travel in packs. Also avoid kids with the evil stare regardless of cuteness.

Cause #10 : Satan

Think : Constantine, Devil's Advocate, The Prophecy, The Exorcist

What You Can Do : Go to church. Invest in Holy Water.

In the end, there is only one important lesson to be learnt here.

Fact : Watching tv IS educational.

So keep watching. 

Your life might depend on it.

The End.

Bonds-lovin'

A few months back, Lyn and I developed an addiction for Bonds hoodies. Then, their underwears. And bras. And then some more. So, I decided to create a Bonds fanpage thru facebook, just for fun. 

Was nothing fancy, with not that many fans.

We totally forgot about the page and didn't look it up much until a few weeks back. Little did we know, the page has been collecting fans up to almost 20,000 people! 

Heh. 

Pretty impressive for a start, right?

Then it got even better, when I received a message from some dude claiming to be working for Bonds itself and seeking admin access to it. Wasn't really convinced about it all, but decided to give him access for kicks since we hardly maintained the page anyways. Was a little freaked out about it tho, thinking if I might've gotten into some trouble for some copyright infringement or something o_O!

Was only convinced when I got another email from the Bonds' marketing manager down in Sydney, offering to send over a giftpack as a thankyou gesture. 

UBER COOL!

And then...                                                                      

                       ...it CAME in the mail!!! 

HURRAY FOR BONDS!

No, thank YOU Bonds for loving ME so much! =D

Bonds was REALLY generous with

5 pairs of undies

3 plain tees

2 striped hoodies

2 tank tops

1 pair trackie pants

1 pair gym shorts

Estimated cost? Over $300 worth!

Thank GOD for facebook 

and 

THANK YOU BONDS!!

love thy beaver

If there's one thing Aussies here enjoy more than us back home on Malaysian TV, it's their freedom of expression and sense of humor in their commercial adverts. Well, you've seen our monkey buddy from Cadbury, wait till you catch a glimpse of our new furry beaver buddy from Kotex!

Whoever thought of this ad campaign is a genius! 

But what's sad is for people from

  down under here 

who're unaware of the term 

"beaver" 

being used to refer to

"down under" there. 

Maybe it's more of an American thing?

"For the ultimate care...                         

                                           down there"

Diary of a Cat

DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. 

DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet to trip them while they were walking failed. Must try this at the top of the stairs tomorrow. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their carpet ... must try this on their bed. 

DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to strike fear in their hearts of what I am capable of - murder. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to plan. 

DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid.

DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer". More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage. 

DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. They have placed him under protective custody in a metal caged safehouse hanging above the ground. He is safe, for now...

funkeh monkeh

This may not be everyone's cup of tea,

but Lyn and Munks seem to enjoy this big fella!

Haha

This is Cadbury's commercial ad, airing on tv almost everyday.

For Lyn and Munks, enjoy :P

Big gorilla drumming to Phil Collins.

Weird.

And it DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!

But, I guess you can say that Cadbury came up with a genius of an ad.

Why?

Coz you get so confused about what it's suppose to mean, you only end up thinking about the ad ALL day! 

Trust me, the ad works wonders.

om nom nom!

When you're missing food from home, you get desperate.

and

"desperate times calls for 

desperate measures"

This is our tribute to food from home.

Enjoy~

The all-Malaysian Rojak. Classic!

Ang Cheng Ho's Mee Sua!

Hui Sing's Tomato Mee!

Cucur Pisang!

Okay. So this isn't exactly one of Kuching's food specialty 

(nor is it Malaysian).

But HECK, this is good food and we, for one, support the good cause of human feeding!

Squeezed lemon juice and drops of Tobasco sauce over fresh oysters.

God-awful-good-stuff!

And then, you get lazy and fall back into the "pizza delivery" option.

Pizzas from hell. Sinful!

And who would've thought.. devils ARE the most cunning smartest creatures on..err...earth?

Pizza boxes turn into lil coffins to store leftover pizzas. GENIUS!

Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, those were all home-made dishes :D
