Dear Chibi,

Now and then I’d check my blog stats just to see how traffic is and that kinda stuff- and what always seem to raise an eyebrow are the search terms people type in and end up here- my little personal blog ^_^;

For example, someone typed in “malavika underwear“- ummmmm..hmmm… Mal??? There seems to be a pervert out there stalking you my friend, be afraid.. or is “malavika” some kind of brand or famous person?

“retirement next phase jpg“- Okay, this one confuses me. This person is looking for an image I assume..  an image of the next phase of retirement?? What are they expecting to find?

“nerdy chibis glasses” -I guess they were looking for my glasses XD

“he and i cooking”- What is this?? Is it a title of some film I don’t know about? Who is “he” and who is “i” in the world wide web?

“invade like fire”-…hmm..

“soulless body”- yay, I’m a ‘soulless body’

XD

Dear Chibi,

Today MZ invited us over to his new apartment for a house warming! =D His place looks cool, clean and modern and it’s quite spacious! It was really relaxing being there, and we all agreed it felt like we were away in some holiday house with everything to ourselves ^-^

Emily, Flora and I were playing the good o “Bullsh*t” card game, and boy was it amuuuuusing! XD XD XD Poor Flora, she got owned big time, lol… (look how many cards she has in her hands!) we couldn’t stop laughing at the few facial expressions she pulled… too funny!

Dear Chibi,

As much as I like Chun Li, I can’t say I’m very excited about the movie after seeing the trailer: The Legend of Chun Li It looks kinda boring? o_o Does anyone think otherwise? The first thing that came to mind is that Chun Li is suppose to be Chinese.. Kristin Kreuk just doesn’t look Chinese enough. It could be argued she’s half Chinese, but still..Chun Li is from CHINA! We’re lacking the Chinesesness. Similarly for the Dragon Ball movie (oh boy), why have a white guy play Goku??  T_T Is anyone planning to watch this? Even for amusement? Or should we all just hide under the bed and pretend it never existed? XD

Having said that, I think I’ll just stick to Chun Li from the games~ =D

Dear Chibi,

Yesterday we had dinner at Fujiya to celebrate our M12′s 23rd Birthday! Some things never change, even with age  XD

Yes, there’s the Birthday Boy.. very friendly ^_^

Ray is throwing a peace, I think.. if not, it could be a paper! Yeh~ Scissors..paper…ROCK.

I’m gonna try bring a camera to every outing, because I really can’t remember events well without pictures. I *think* this may be the first Marcus Birthday with pics.. though I could be wrong. Still, should always utilize the awesomely invention that is the Digital Camera ^_^

Enjoy the Street Fighter IV when it comes out on PC =D

Dear Chibi,

Tomorrow will be my last day at the Circular Quay office as my company will be starting in Nth Sydney next week. Yesterday we went on a Cruise on the Sydney Harbour from 6.30-9.30pm which included a buffet dinner, yay! I thought it was quite fun and exciting since I don’t get on boats very much =D The boat could easily fit 100 people, so since there were only about 20 of us, we had plenty of room!

And here are some pics with my 2 megapixel phone camera ^_^

Dear Chibi,

Two days ago, I had a random guy ask me for money on my way home.. I stopped for him because I thought he was a lost guy wanting directions but soon I realised it wasn’t the case. When I asked him why he needs the money, he hesitated and said “..I need some money before I can..head back”- now, I didn’t really get what he meant, but seeing his sad facial expression and all, it was hard to say no when asked .. even if it was a stranger.  Usually I just ignore random strangers who you know will ask you for money, I don’t want to communicate with them, I don’t want to know anything about them. However, once you make the first mistake of starting any communication (by asking them questions), you start feeling guilty.. because even if it was a few seconds, you have established some kind of ‘knowledge’ about them (even if they’re lying).  They have spoken to you, they have told you they want you to help them, and when they ask you, it’s not that easy to walk away. Does anyone else have this problem?

There was another case some time last year when I made a similar ‘mistake’ and spoke to a random stranger who was obviously just trying to get some cash- but then I couldn’t get rid of him. I think its best to ignore and not start that initial conversation if you’re not ready to give the answers. It’s a guilt trip alright.

Or you could be a brave one and just say “Sorry, I don’t have any money” which is probably what most people would do.

Dear Chibi,

Today during work, a colleague sent me a link to simpsonizeme.com which converts you into a Simpson’s character. There’s me you can see with my nerdy glasses on XD It’s quite amusing to play with if you have some time on your hands (which I had while rendering a video…though I have to admit After Effects died during the process ~_~) You can even have it printed on a mug with your name on it, which sounds like a cute idea :)

Do share if you end up making one too :3

EDIT: Here’s Ray & Jacky Simpsonized
