Photo Friday: Slick
Nope, no stories about this one, unfortunately. Just my slick bathroom floor...caution!
This should be filed under "posts I wish I never had to post". Haha...

Photo October Day 14: The flow
I thought of taking a photo of water flowing, but luckily I didn't, because it turned out that Jamie had the same idea. It's a good thing I found something more...interesting. ;P
the flow of people in my company
Yesterday we got our latest company directory. You can see the changes from five months back...
And the biggest change is at our extension...from four people, we are down to two! :'( The Js have left... *sob sob*
And I musn't forget to write about something else...something that EzY suggested I write.
It happened at lunch today... After a week (a little more, maybe) of not seeing me, Jamie exclaimed that I looked thinner. And fairer (or was it Zowie who said that?) Though that kinda means paler :| So after reading this post, you know why...I've been abandoned...! :(
Hehe, just kidding :P

Troublesome dragons
I had a problem with a certain dragon at work. And a search showed me that I wasn't the only one...people from all over the world had this problem too!
(these aren't the only pages found; there were others in between but I edited them out because they didn't have the exact phrase I was looking for)
Besides the first two pages in English, we have German, Russian, Dutch (I think Scratch that, I'm pretty sure, actually) and (probably) Italian!
I guess dragons really don't make good pets... :P

That's what happens to water when you put it in the freezer!
rocky ice mountain...
(okay, maybe it won't look like this if you don't freeze it in ice-cube trays first :P )

Photo October Day 12: Something sweet
Sweet...so sweet that I need a moat around it to protect it from ants!
Though I wish I could put a mirror here instead...you're so sweet for reading my blog! ;) And since you're so sweet, you will forgive the lateness of this post, won't you? ;P

Photo October Day 11: Topsy-turvy
...is what happens to my shampoo bottle when there's not much left in it.
I really like this Rejoice because it leaves my hair really soft...but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working on my dandruff any longer, so after this I'm using another brand!
By the way, this reminds me of an article I read (in The Star, I think) promoting Clear anti-dandruff shampoo. They said something like "Finally, what consumers have been asking for: a gender-specific, ... anti-dandruff shampoo". And I went "GENDER-SPECIFIC?!?!?!!!" Look here, as long as your shampoo works, I don't care whether it's gender-specific. I would even prefer it to be NOT gender specific, so that I can share it with the rest of my family. If it's gender-specific I will just have to buy two different shampoos for the whole family, won't I? Sure that suits you...when you're selling it!
And another thing I don't understand is why they have so many different types of shampoo per brand. I was choosing a bottle of Clear the other day (yeah, that's the brand I'm going to try), and there were at least six different types on the shelf. I remember hesitating between "soft" and "manageable" (can't remember their fancy names though). I can't quite remember the other options, but I think one was "anti hair-loss".
Why do you make so many types of shampoo? Can't you make one type that can do it all?! I mean, I want soft and manageable hair, and of course I don't want hair loss either! Duh...now you're making me choose one over the others...so since I chose "manageable" I guess I'll have to put up with twiggy hair (but they're so manageable! *rolls eyes*) which will probably fall out (but those that stay on my head will be so manageable!! *this is also sarcastic, in case you didn't get it*)
Okay, rant over...I've been meaning to write about that "gender-specific" thing ever since I read it, but somehow never got around to it.

Photo October Day 10: Card
We went to eat banana leaf rice for lunch today. And the menu is made of two pieces of card!
This is only part of the menu.
(I took a photo of the menu cover at the beginning, but it was rather ugly so I decided to take another :P )
The restaurant is called Passions of Kerala, and here's a map to the place if you wish to go there.
We had deep-fried veggies (Indian tempura! the others said :P ), mutton curry, fried fish (very crunchy!), sardine sambal and fried chicken. They were all pretty good...except the sardine sambal (maybe it's just my taste but to me it tasted like it was right out the can :s )
But I can't say as much for the service...they were pretty bad at taking orders -_-
First they didn't note down the chicken masala we ordered. Then when one of my friends asked for fried chicken to "tapao", they brought us a dish of fried chicken to "tambah" (add on) instead. That could probably have been die to miscommunication...we were ordering chicken and lamb, and they probably thought that we had decided on lamb in the end (and we did order too much :s )
The second mistake was worse. They missed bringing us two drinks. I don't quite get how that happened...because when they brought the drinks, it was pretty easy to see that two people didn't have theirs! Halfway through eating my friends asked for their drinks...and they added the two drinks to the bill. -_-
Luckily we noticed the extra two drinks on the bill before leaving, and got ourselves a refund (well, we're 6 ringgit richer. Collectively...between the eight of us. lol)
I guess I should have taken photos of the dishes...but I didn't know I was going to write about this :P

Turn It Up
Join With Us (embedding disabled :/ )
Why don't their songs make it to Malaysia?!?!? :(

Malaysian cars are easy to upgrade
A few friends shared this "experiment" on Facebook.
1) go to Google Translate and select language "Malay" to "English".
2) Then key in "Perodua Kelisa" and "Perodua Kancil".
As another friend commented, "they got upgraded". :P
I took a screenshot of the various translations that I tested, mainly because Google will probably correct this in the future! (like the Google Maps directions that I posted about before) So here it is:
Surprisingly the Kancil/Accord isn't recognised in small letters! I wonder how this thing is programmed... And hey, we also have a Toyota arowana :P
As for "erodua"...as I was switching between capital P and small P, I noticed a flash of the word "deer". So I gave it a try... But "kancil" isn't a deer...it's a mousedeer! -_-
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I just tried translating "kancil" as a single word...it gave me "clever individual". :s Who did this?!?!
