Brilliant Advertising

Today, came across an ad campaign for an Arnotts product in the city, but didn't have a camera!
It is very effective.

Here it is:



"Random. But Right." Haha!

Made me laugh because it seems random, but not really very right. In fact, it seems kinda wrong... BUT in a good way.

Don't forget to blog.

Forty Hour Famine Specials

Hello,

Today three PLC girls ding-dong'ed my doorbell twice, very rapidly and hard. I caught them leaving just as I opened the door, and they said:

"Oh, hi. We're from PLC and we are doing the forty hour famine. We were wondering if you could donate some loose change for our cause."

Not a question, but a statement. So i said: "Yes." Then asked what they were going to do for the forty hour famine.

One of the girls said: "I'm going forty hours without food, she's going forty hours without internet, and..." and was interrupted by one of the other girls, who said: "and I'm doing fingers."

... "What? Fingers?"

"Yes I'm going to tape my fingers together for forty hours, so i can't use them."

Hahahaha. I think the original method - food is still the most difficult.

The 4:8 Principle

Yesterday, I went on a band camp type graduation, where all of the members retreated to a place to prepare for their final group performance of music and dance. It was in a place with big animals, especially groups of dogs, and other big things like pincer crabs, which walked funny and clucked its pincers together a lot. I took lots of photos and videos so that I can compile them when I get back. (The day before I was looking for golden retriever wallpapers on google but could not find any good ones!)

The place was like a typical camp, with a hall, cabins, dining hall, camp food, main area to play in, stairs, girls rooms and boys rooms. I did not know any of the people there. And none of them knew who I was. After a lot of playing around, I came to this place where I found a variety of real life high quality masks of faces of the girls and boys in the camp. I admire them for a brief moment, and came to one which looked particularly pretty. It was very pretty. She must be very pretty too, in real life.

So I tried on the fit. I matched the forehead line with mine and covered the line with the fringe. The scalp fitted nicely between my ears, and the long hair draped over my ears. The face mask was just a piece of skin, and it came with all the features such as the outlined eyes, lips, lipstick, blush, cheek contours, and the fit was perfect. I also changed into a dress.

I walked outside and to no surprise, no one thought I was abnormal. I was a girl. I attended the final musical practice in the main hall. Some boys commented that I looked a bit tired, and some said that I looked pretty. A visit to the bathroom showed me that the facial foundations was getting a bit smudged, and that there was makeup on my hair! I quickly washed my hair, kept it wet, and let it hang down and straight. Another look in the mirror, saw a beautiful young girl, with good smiles, bright face, lovely hair and big eyes. Soon I was out again in that practice session, but this time practising the way I should move, or the way a girl of my type would move. It started from the gentle manouevres from side to side, to the elegant steps, to the eyes not looking higher than the horizon, to the dusting of my dress, to the flick and fix of my hair, and at times to the self handhold position that covered my crotch (because it looked bulgier than a normal girl’s). After that I was mixing with the girls and having much fun. It all felt soo free and fully liberating.

The end of the band camp was drawing near. Kevin Rudd performed in the last musical, where he had no idea what was going on. But his son made him say all sorts of things, uncharacteristic of him. Then some guys tried to kill me simpily because they found out that I was the main character of the dream, but they were all defeated at the touch of my hand (i.e. fell to the floor via a flip, twist or turn and groaned to themselves). It was a lovely dream. At the time I videoed the big animals, I really thought I could take them home to edit!


“…whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”


The characteristics of my ideal girl has seven. She is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, which is praiseworthy. And I shall think of her all the day long.

Thank you.

p.s. this post, after writing it, is dedicated to Amoz A, who usually shows much keenness to get into a girl's mind to understand what she is thinking.

Your Power Is Weak, But Your Integrity Is Strong

I was having a cruisy time one afternoon down in Box Hill, where i saw:



Senior man getting frustrated over something =]

Then came across the Louis' Economy Shop, which is the direct competitor of Super Bargains, which has recently changed its name to Crazy Bargains (because 'Super' most probably didn't sound cheap enough). Here it is below:



And then:

Louis' Economy Shop is now on Facebook. HAHAHA.


I found that funny, as i did this:


(Only realized the 'Sam Hu' in the photo was a girl, only recently!!)

I Love Taiwan Restaurants

Because:


Big dogs come up to sit next to your table


There's a dog outside most stores


They like to block the door to get all the attention


And eagerly anticipate customers' FOODS in a well trained manner!


Plus there are cats that lie on the bar counter


These cats also don't mind eating ON THE SAME TABLE as customers


And sleep all over the dishes (because the dishes are being warmed - they are really asleep!)


And go actively go after the customers' foods

Woah! Did you check out those animals in the restaurants??

Animal Restaurants in Taiwan should be a Taiwanese specialty.

Spa For Sale

We are selling our spa! Didn't know we had a spa did you? We've only used it once since moving into this house, SO when we opened up the lid of the spa we found:
  • very stale water - water that looked like it was past its expiry date
  • mouldy floaties
  • roaches (also floaties)



This was after we cleaned it out of course.

But, on the topic of spas, check out one of our competitors on the trading post.

Hahaha... @ the shadow of the guy taking the photo

Abe said that this was a poor listing.

Containers Hahaha

So i'm studying Java on the internet at the moment (something you do when the lectures aren't so helpful) for my Java subject, and i found something really funny.

OK so we're talking about Java J2EE containers, which are virtual application environments that provide enterprise level services to an application.

Containers were a hard concept to grasp because it was program modeling, virtual, J2EE, technical, information systems architecture, so I needed to look up more information.

And behold...


'Ads by Google' was advertising Aussie shipping containers on a J2EE Java container information website!!! I did laughed out loud at that one.

Talk about targeted advertising! (by Google)
