Revision

...Not the type you'd think of, anyway.

In one of my earlier posts I mentioned that the Vampire Diaries TV show wasn't half as bad as I imagined. I'm starting to think twice. It's getting lamer with each episode. Damon's actor may be hot, but it doesn't really help if the directors are making him act like an idiot half the time. I started out with about 5 different TV series, now I think I'm down to only one - Supernatural. Looks like that's the only series this season which I'll be following :((

On a side note, my glorious green tea powder has been insulted. "Mud pack" "Mold" "Green cement". Such horrible names they call you, my poor poor green tea powder :(

Deluxe Therapeutic Massage....not that Therapeutic after all

It's not just the massage that you pay for. It's also for the semi-"get-away" ambience, too.
I certainly didn't fork out $135 for 1.5 hours just to leave the place feeling more stressed than I was.

About 5 mins into the "therapeutic massage", the usual "so-what're-you-doing-now" question came up. When the masseuse found out that I was doing my pre-reg in pharmacy, the sudden onslaught of questions came: "I've been feeling a little tired lately...I've tried multivitamins etc, is there anything I could possibly take etc etc?"

Lady, I paid for a massage to get my mind off work and exams. Not to be reminded of it.

And then there was the lady boss. After she, too, popped the "what're-you-doing-now" question and found out that I was a pharmacy pre-reg, she wasted no time in asking, "So, what do you think of the swine flu vaccine?"

Epic fail for a place that claimed it was a spa retreat.

The Vampire Diaries

To be honest, my first impression was: not nearly as bad as I'd imagined. Granted, I'd initially thought that the cast they'd picked for the series was close to appalling since some of the main characters *cough -Elena- cough* didn't even vaguely fit the character's description in the book. Not to mention the sudden appearance of fodder characters that were thrown into the mix/soup. Too many cooks, anyone? It's rather weird that the producers decided to get rid of a couple of the main characters and throw in a couple of fodders in their stead.

May I state that I'm about to stone whomever decided to plagarise the Twilight effect, turning Stefan into Edward's twin? Chalkiness is overrated.

Of all the characters, Damon is probably the only one who comes close to the Damon in the books. Elena is just...not Elena. Not just in terms of looks. Stefan is...well, emo like the Stefan in the books. But at least in the books he didn't actually verbalise his emo-ness, and he sure as hell didn't keep a diary. Or write with a freaking ink feather. Oh, lord.

I have no idea what's up with directors and special spooky effects when it comes to vampiric features. Sure, I know everyone's oh-so-keen when it comes to giving it a touch of supernatural effects, but conjunctivitis eyes and popping veins and oversized dentures- I mean, fangs- are really an overexploited concept.

The crow outside Elena's window didn't look the least bit intimidating. And the dream she had of Damon was rather hilarious, actually.

Bonnie was, like you can imagine, portrayed quite differently in the TV series, but strangely enough, I didn't quite dislike it.

Thankfully, though, the series didn't quite have as many lame lines/scenes as I'd initially expected. Surely not even a quarter as many lame lines/scenes as Twilight, that's for sure.

Speaking of TV shows, Gossip Girl seems to be going down the drain. Thankfully there's always Supernatural. Heck, by this rate I may actually follow the Vampire Diaries series.

On a side note, some people just aren't meant for certain professions. Maybe I should've been a movie critic instead.

I don't know how, but there's a splinter in the middle finger of my left hand. It kinda sucks, but I can't even use tweezers (much less my perpetually short fingernails) to pull it out. It doesn't hurt (unless there's pressure on it); it's more of an annoyance which I came to realize while I was actually enjoying a cup of tea.

I'm still having rather conflicted thoughts over Pharmacy. Lots of WOWs, lots of UGHs, lots of AWWs and lots of EWWs. But every now and then there's something that makes you smile at the end of the day.

X: Coming through (as she bulldozes her way through the mean machine of a vacuum cleaner)
X: *giggles as she turns the thing on and it proceeds to make a large sucking sound that's enough to cut off a couple of decibels from the hearing frequency chart for years to come* Oh, god, I have such a perverse mind. I get so disturbed each time I use this thing.
Me: ? Why's that?

And so my eyes follow hers to the vacuum nozzle, which coincidentally happened to be a bright red and awkwardly shaped pointy tip.

...And thus the story of how my eyes were stained and how my view of the vacuum cleaner had been perpetually changed.

Introducing - Danny 2

............................BEHOLD, THE BIRTH OF DANNY 2!!

















































Didn't realize that his "ears" could curl up like that until I accidentally pressed the remote lol















Flashy lights!















...And thank God, power-operated windows :3















...And no handbrake!
Relax, kiddies. There's a footbrake instead.















Gearbox (or rather, gear handle in this case) situated beside the window wiper controllers lol















The bum of Danny2 looks weird, I know.















...And so does his overly bullet-ish exterior :S

It's been about a little over a week, and I'm still adjusting to Danny2...The size is a little bigger than Danny The First, obviously, so I'm still avoiding crowded carparks at the moment :3
The only other 2 things I have to complain about besides the funny exterior would be the sound system and airconditioning. Who would've thought that the sound system in my lil Echo would've been much better :((. And the airconditioning, unfortunately, smells a bit. Only when I turn it to a certain heat - below or past that, nothing whatsoever. I should get that checked out.















...Not exactly related, but I liked the dusky look so I snapped a shot :3


Anyway, may Danny2 outlive his predecessor. Hopefully he'll live a long and fruitful life, unlike Danny The First :((

In Tribute :((

It's only been about 6 months, but you've served me well.

Farewell, Danny. R.I.P. :(

Can't really believe it, it still looks almost as good as new :(( (c'mon, he's still freakin' shiny even!!)















...Alas, he's been fatally wounded upon impact :((












































I didn't photoshop this. The dude at the Smash Repair Centre probably added in those side commentaries to enlighten dumb folk like myself :(

Unsavvy. In the engine world, anyway. Well, off for car hunting tomorrow >___<

Annoying month

Blergh, all the uglies seem to come one after another. Congestion of the uglies this whole month! Flat tire, broken hard disc, boring seminars, more boring seminars, assessments, staff training....and pervs. It's not a really pleasant experience when some random middle-aged dude tries to strike up a conversation with you and then proceed to ask if you're single.

...And people ask me why I don't like guys.

Sheesh.
