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...
