ludicrously speaking

After covering the cost of my degree I’d like to pay for my parents to have some time off, because they work really hard and deserve a break.”

Tew first sold 400 pixels to his brother Will, who runs a go-karting company in the UK. Alex has now made over $650,000.00 in 30 days.

“I can’t really believe it - I knew I had a good idea but I never thought it would catch on so much, and so quickly. It feels like Monopoly money, it’s kind of surreal. I’m excited about what the future holds because now I have the resources to put some of my other business ideas into action.”

Tew, who is now studying Business Management at university in England, says that people can use the pixels they buy to display an ad or logo and have a link to their own site.

The homepage will be kept online for at least 5 years, although the aim is to have it up for as long as possible. “It will be like an internet time capsule. Once all the pixels are bought the homepage will never change,” Tew explained.

The London paper The Times just published a 2 page interview and promptly ordered their own pixels on Alex’s web site. You can see them in the center of the site. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3223-1824063,00.html

And finally…lord and behold! 2005 WILL end. Hallelujah!

2006 is gonna be pretty interesting for me. I leave my company in a month’s time then I’m off to see the world with full vengeance starting from Ho Chi Minh City. Backpacking in Vietnam would be quite an adventurous exploration since I’ve heard both horror stories of menacing beings and tales of good kind folks from people who’ve returned. It’s gonna be an eye-opener for sure.

Following that, I’ll take on the role of a filial child and bring my mum to visit my wonderful home-turf Bangkok. At the moment, I’ve already worked out a mental itinerary of the places I’ll be showing her around and am determined that she will get an enjoyable break away from the mundane household chores and my sometimes naughty little niece. It’s been something I’ve wanted to do and in recent years, feel even more compelled to so. Guess I truly fear the day when even with all the money and time in the world, I might no longer be able to bring her anywhere. I don’t want to have that sort of regret.

On a lighter note, I have no plans whatsoever when I return in March. I’m not breaking a sweat worrying about getting a job either.

Scene enactment –

Me: “It’s egg mayo and ham godamit!”

Voyager: “Ooo…can I have a bite”


*flicks middle finger*

Me: “Bite this!”

*bites my middle finger*

Me: “Argh! You sick sick bastard!”

My dearest sis got me what my heart desires and i’m baring a smile stretching from ear to ear knowing that i now possess it.

Mr. Taufreak. Coming in tops on Channel 5 had instead landed him a spot on Suria (he should have just joined Anugerah). His most memorable gig this year was selling slurpee for a convenient store. Variety of flavours later, he’s ever “Blessed” to be the only spokesperson ever engaged to sell frozen syrup (come to think of it, his only competition was the Mr. Slurpee cartoon character). As the other ethnic representative of the NDP 2005 song, he has shown his versatility to sing a theme that no one remembers while wearing hideous mismatched clothing with equally horrendous dancing. If all else fails and he gets the boot one day, he should just play soccer (don’t they all?) in a big grass of green (as illustrated in his mtv) and eat his endorsed rice for life.

Mr. Sibei Gake Sim. I feel for him the most. Being the most misunderstood of the lot, he has such a hard time dealing with his inner demons he barely got about to cut his hair or at least get a more manly tan. The only reason he wants you to believe that he is not an Ah Beng is clear, he is in fact an Ah Lian. The signature “tongue sticking, index finger and pinkie pointing” stance originated from his favourite Neo Print pose during his days at CHIJ. I look forward to seeing him flash his pearlies on yet another edition of PSC nite, but this time round, maybe he can try to join the Golden Peony Karaoke contest and see if the kids in sequins and fur can give him a run for his money. They just might.

Miss Olin Ju. If I were her, I would write a book titled, “ How I Lost A Chunk of My Credibility in 30 days!” The decision to lose weight still puzzles me; she had a proportionate body that looked rather appropriate with her bubbly personality. After successfully losing a lung and liver for that svelte figure, her chubby face not only remained intact but appears bigger than ever before. The cheeks have a life of their own and they are officially more famous than her. Ask anyone if they still remember Olin’s thick luscious voice? I guess not. A word of caution for Olin - If you lose any more weight you are likely to end up looking like a lollipop. Ey, perhaps you can endorse Chupa Chups when that happens.

That’s them. You can sample their respective accomplishment for your own reference and find your niche in this very tiny industry we have. Do your best! We’ll be laughing, er… rooting for you.

The stars are shining brightly in the nite sky. I hope each and every one of you reach it, before they reach you - in the form of a meteorite and blow you all to pieces.

Burger King brings you an offering of gargantuan proportions! The Burger King Kong! 3 slices of Kampong chicken (already trying their best to bring out the savageness) grilled to perfection with spicy African pepper sauce topped off with juicy wild lettuce and onion rings of fire. Plus! When you order a set meal, you get a regular coke and fries with our Sacred BBQ Dip, bound to tantalise your taste bud and make you gasp in horror of such sinful delights. And! At a dollar more, you get a banana to complete this fantastic meal! What are you waiting for?

Burger King. The King’s preferred burger.
