Our day out with Lao Lao

Yesterday, I watched a new ad from Pizza Hut and KFC pop up while watching that 8:40 drama we always watch (me, Grandma and Neoneo). One of them was a new item available at KFC, deep fried crab claw balls. It has the crab’s claw deep fried in batter into a round shape.
Another item was for Pizza Hut, it is a new pasta dish they’re introducing, scollop and pumpkin pasta… mmmmm. I brought this up saying ‘Oooo I want to eat this, they don’t have it back home’ and so my Grandma said we’ll go tomorrow (today now).
Anyway, we got up and Zhang Lao Lao came while...
Ads. In threes!

I noticed this last time I came to China but forgot to write about it.
Here, for commercials, they repeat it 3 times in a row. Maybe it has something to do with the mind remembering in threes. (Oh dang there we go, another ad that’s repeated three times). It’s so annoying. xD. Why not play it once and then after a few different ads? You have a habit of speaking along with the ad since it’s so etched into your mind. Wait, that’s what it’s meant to do.
Chinese New Year!

OMG OMG OMG this is so hectic and exciting! Crackers and fireworks are being lit off as we speak as we approach 2009 according to the Chinese calendar!
I’ve been lucky enough to experience this first hand this year, after finishing Year 13 of Grammar School, and spending this vacation with relatives in China!
OMG I can’t hear my thoughts. Big BOOMS outside. When my uncle rang from Indonesia, I couldn’t even hear what he was speaking! It’s that loud!
In the morning, at 5am, my Da Jiu Ma, came with Grandpa’s ashes. It had needed to be before sunrise. My little sister...
Oh and I forgot

TVNZ Netguide Webchallenge 2008 - Another PHAIL (fail) in progress?

So 2008 has arrived and I’m back to my blogging (I hope to keep it up)
Every year, there is the TVNZ Netguide Webchallenge where students across the country submit their website creations to win some awesome prizes such as cameras, phones, printers and other nifty gadgets.
So 2008 has arrived and TVNZ Netguide Webchallenge 2008 has arrived too! I’m quite interested in looking at this year’s entries, especially since how the 2007 competition failed in pretty much all aspects of judging, organisation and promotion (cheers Alana!).
Will this year be better than last year? Or will...
Mr. T

I browsed youtube for Mr. T
He is like so cool. Virtulization is in Da Controlla! Not in the network (apparently he was doing commercials for Hitachi)
I always thought he sang ‘Can’t Touch This’ though (MC Hammer). I wonder why I thought he did it =/ The song is suited for him. He’s like the hero of superheros. GO A-TEAM!
Another Example of Biased Judging - TVNZ Webchallenge 2007

lmao
Biased/Unfair? You decide.
Unique way to start a blog entry eh? Well earlier this year, I entered in the TVNZ Netguide Webchallenge 2007. I had taken a break last year but decided to enter this year as a Secondary Individual entry.

Like every other year I decide to enter, I was pressured against the Webchallenge’s deadlines. I really should start these a lot earlier. But usually I’m missing the ‘motivation’ and that only comes when there are only a few days left
This year I decided to do it on Japan and it’s culture. Why? Those who know me should...
High School Musical = High School Scandal?

Ever since High School Musical came out, fans have been pairing the characters together in real life.
Now not bounded together by the movie scripts, let’s take a look at the current situations in real life (thanks to rumours as well!)
NB: I have only included the 4 main characters from High School Musical 1 + 2:
The Love Triangle of High School Musical
Now, everyone who hasn’t lived in a cave for the past year should know that Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have been dating in real life for the past few months. Isn’t it sweet? For hardcore fans, it is a dream come true. However...
