A Mind of My Own

Been receiving some e-cards recently. I’m so touched, my Worshiper, Friend, Soccer Stud, Francoe and Lilian. I now know that I have 2 lovers, Soccer Stud and Francoe who told me not to worry and be happy. You know what they have written?

I`m in hurry, but i still love you…
(as you can see on the ecard)

Aww, so sweet of you. However, I’m sorry to break your sweet lil’ hearts, I have eyes only for my DD. The one I go for a walk with in HSBC Treetop walk, I made pancakes for, stroll at the Bird Park and holidayed in Bangkok with.

Free Cone Day was first celebrated back in 1979 in the first Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop - a dilapidated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, USA. Ben and Jerry had been scooping ice cream for a year and decided to reward staff and customers in the best way they knew how - by serving up a tasty tub of thanks free to everyone. An instant success, Free Cone Day has now been scooping up free cones for over twenty-five years and has raised tub loads of money for charity too.

Often in our lives we love free stuff. Buy one get one free that kind of promotion. I no longer believe in the free stuff thrown in after spending thousands of dollars on my new computer only to receive a free cheapskate mouse. I want the mouse that is worthy of being seen together with my thousands of dollars computer, not some $10 worth mouse.

With the rise in emails being processed, we have started to receive emails that claim to let us receive free stuff just by forwarding the email to many people and someone would contact you once it’s confirmed. So, how do you confirmed that an email has been sent? In the Sent Folder of course. Who actually checks that you have sent the email? When you CC the person who is supposed to be checking la. Does this person actually exists? Where is the contact number in that email?

One such scam is the Sony Ericsson scam email. It states that free handphones will be given but there are issues with the email itself. You can read about my dissection account of it here.

There is no such thing as free gifts. You have to buy $100 worth of stuff before you will receive a $30 iron. I might as well just buy that iron since it’s the only thing I need at the moment instead of buying $100 worth of impulse buys just to get that “free” iron, right? Depending on situation, if I need $100 worth of groceries, I will buy them and still get a free iron. Now, about my expenditure list…

These are really pretty toilet designs! Very feminine though. There’re just cut to the size of the toilet bowls and placed on the cover. The floor is covered by a mat of similar design. Wonder if anyone would do the same for their own homes.

1. The sport of choice for the urban poor is BASKETBALL.

2. The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BOWLING

3. The sport of choice for front-line workers is FOOTBALL.

4. The sport of choice for supervisors is BASEBALL.

5. The sport of choice for middle management is TENNIS.

and……..

6. The sport of choice for corporate executives and officers is GOLF.

THE AMAZING CONCLUSION:

The higher you go in the corporate structure,
the smaller your balls become.

Sometimes emails from friends are taken for granted. I’ve yet been duped again. I’m sure my friend was, if not, the email on Marzipan babies wouldn’t have been so successfully sent to everyone even though Snopes has given its studies on it. Actually, they’re not made of marzipan. They’re made of clay. The artist is Camille Allen. There are more artworks here.

She’s very good at it. I simply love the details. The hair, hands, fingers and everything else are so realistic. I doubt I can afford to buy the miniatures. I’d admire the artwork at her website thank you.

What a way to keep your ring safe
