Why are the answers so? Find out for yourself:



















Snoopy World Games 2008


Snoopy Fun Time Series (Mugs)


Snoopy Fun Time Series (Bowls)


Snoopy Hobby Mug Collection


Snoopy something series (Too long ago, but the whole set of 5 still intact)


Snoopy again something series (Even longer ago, with 2 out of 4 still intact)


Of course, its not all totally about Snoopy.


We have the Powerpuff Girls! (They SUCKS actually)


And Mickey Mouse! (Again long ago, 2 out of 4 intact)


I seriously don't know what series or collection these falls under. Maybe sunflower series, according to the picture. But I remember there were tonnes of them, which broke 1 by 1. There should be 4 designs in this series, now left with 2. Green and yellow are the other 2, according to my sister.


Okok. So what do all these have to do with Darlie? There is one thing in common with them all. That is they are all gifts from buying Darlie toothpastes. Take note here, you need to buy 2 x 250g Darlie toothpaste in order to have one of those. So effectively, you have to buy 64 tubes of toothpaste in order to get all the above (not including those that are already broken).

And yes you guessed it there is currently an overflow of toothpastes in my house.


Here. 11 tubes.

And they are all seated nicely in the cupboard.



Conclusion: Either I have a Darlie freak mum, or I have a Snoopy freak mum.

3 years is enough

Applying to different context, 3 years is enough. Enough for a diploma:



Ok that's all. Nothing else much to say.

4 years just isn't enough

4 years here refer to 4 years in secondary school, classmates of whole 4 years. Really, 4 isn't a big number. Add a 'year', and it seems long enough, but trust me, its not. They can be joking and playing with you, but you never know when they will try to eat you. Here is a situation to illustrate my point:

A, B, C, D and E, organizers of a chalet, organized a chalet (obviously). Invites people with an estimate cost of $20+ each. 20 people turned up. Ended up collecting $35 from each person. WOW, a $700 chalet. 3 days 2 nights $35 sounds quite expensive? NO. Its 2 days 1 night for $35. We probably ate gold-plated satays and otahs.

Of course, F, G, H, I, J and K wasn't at all happy with $35, with disbelieve of course, raised it to organizer A. Now, this is the fun part. A says everyone, paying $35, is UNDERPAYING. Of course at this time any sane person would not believe. So F, me, requests for a breakdown of costs. And guess what happened? Even more exciting! $35 is an OVERPAYING amount.

A, feeling guilty, referred this to B, a guy who is all ready to start an argument. B told me that A received $210. 10 people did not pay. At this point, doing some calculations: 5 organizers/co-organizers would have paid. Yet, 9 participants paid $35 each to C, a co-organizer. Which in fact turns out to be 14 people who paid. 6 would be the correct number to say when it comes to listing those who haven't pay. Very obvious. B is implying that some of us 9 did not pay. I told B, that 9 people paid to C, and if they did not receive it, they should reconsider trusting C.

A and B, felt guilty again and offered to refund $50 back, with lots of unhappiness. Since they would be returning to me, I asked them to include my Mahjong winnings of $7.40, which they DELIBERATELY shunned after the game of Mahjong. B now gets angry and asked me to shut.

Hey! If $7.40, which was supposed to be rightfully mine, will make you angry, you are nuts. (As in those that you hate your boss.)

This continues with a little while more of arguments which is not important for this blog.

*End of story*

My point: Classmates of 4 years can scam you. Sorry, I never knew or met them before in my life. Should I say bye? Maybe not, I don't even know them.

On the days before 1985...

Were you born before 1985? Do you remember things before 1985? If you do, do you find this familiar?



Recognise? Looks like some fuckedup retarded person. (Sounds familiar? I used a wrong word. The picture only shows one face.)

Anyway, if you can't recognise the ever so familiar logo, its Darkie. Okok, some of you may be wondering what on Earth is Darkie. Its the Darlie before 1985. I actually prefer this logo over the current one. Too bad it was renamed and relogoed due to racism. Come to think of it, its really... Haha...

Darkie had a better smile than Darlie.

Since I am on toothpastes now, I want to say something about the current trends in toothpaste commercials. I don't know why, but the commercials now all portray one dentist speaking. As you had always learnt in school : One person's opinion cannot represent the whole community, and sources not backed up are not to be trusted. ("The brand most dentist recommend")

I really don't see the effectiveness of these commercials. Especially when they decide to use people who can't talk properly. I wouldn't buy these (Colgate and Sensodyne) toothpastes. Just take a look at Darlie's commercial! So full of life! (If you remember it that is. Shows a girl waking up from bed then goes into the toilet.)

Boring facts don't appeal to people. Especially when you have to listen to it (in non accurate speech) over and over again. Whereas if the Darlie commercial is to repeat, you can still enjoy the music (or may be the girl). All in all, I am a supporter of Darlie, that's all. Yes, I am a supporter of Darlie because other brand's commercials really sucks. And Mr Darkie there looks cute. v^^v.

Leaving things the way it is

This was the topic which was supposed to be in the previous post. Here it is now. Hey! Leaving things the way it should be right? So a diary must look like a diary.

Heck! This is a blog.

Now, keeping things the way it is. Yes, global warming. v^^v. I can sense that you people are tired of the anti global warming on my blog, so heres just one line, to fully summarise what I want to say: If you want to keep developments (speed of) the way it is, then the global warming (speed of) is here to stay. Oh God! One line not enough! Another: Leave our lifestyles the way it is and don't ask us to save 10% electricity just to win an (eco-friendly) car, which however friendly it can be, still harms the environment. Sorry! One last one: You save 1 month's 10% bill cost just to spend a lifetime of fuel cost on your new car. v^^v.

Its not entirely revolving around global warming. Heard of the line 江山易改，本性难移。(A leopard never changes its spots)? You can't change a person's character. If one were to change, it would be him himself whom encounter something which greatly affects him, then would the change slowly surface, without the person putting effort. A person's character is inbuilt, and will the same reaction of him be shown in the same circumstances, 10 times 100 times. If you don't like it, either accept it, or leave it. Or the thing to say, hes not your clique of friend.

I am a believer that everything is planned beforehand. Fate. And when people say that they don't believe in fate, or they don't succumb to fate, have you ever wondered that its planned beforehand that this particular guy will be "battling fate"?

So, leave things the way it is. A change is futile.

No luck

I wanted to update my blog during the short time span I had between games. But too bad, the Blogger homepage loaded slower than a snail. So, that's all for the update.
