Cart Wheels.

You clapped as I bend over backwards
I'm happy too cos it made you laugh
I twist and twirl
As you turned my world around
Forward and backward
Higher we go

Slowly my back began to creak
It was not as fun as it was
My giddiness turning into headache
Sweat began to drip
And now I see that I was alone
Whilst you just sat and watched from the windows

Please, is it your turn now?
I too want to smile.

*knock knock*

I have witness. It was not a dream or delusion. I was not under any influence of alcohol or drugs.

I, Glow here by states that I got hit on at a petrol station.

No, no impact from blunt objects. Indulge me a little as it does not happen often to me. I was raised in a traditional Chinese family where you give the other suspicious person the evil eye for asking for the time. Later, other sources told me to be polite but firm and careful. I grew up being a shy child of the 90s playing the scrawny quiet Chinese doll role to a fault. I had always admired others who were so smooth and ,for lack of a better word, manipulative of the opposite sex. That's the sort of power that could come in handy.

Let's recap. It was a clear Monday morning as Miniemaos and I stopped for petrol on the way to the airport. Hence forth Miniemaos shall be referred to as the primary witness. The primary witness stayed as the guardian of the car as I went to pay at the counter. Upon returning to the alleged crime scene, I proceeded to feed my car.

Amidst the guzzling and gulping, I heard a greeting. Without bothering to lift my Oakleys I smiled amicably and noddled. He starts the small chit chat. "Where are you heading? Are you from around here?" All of which I divulged with out going into details. To turn the tables, I proceeded to interrogate him. How about you? Purposely feigning interest in his answer as I initiated scanning. He was not bad looking , sort of cool rocker look with dark sunglasses as well, drove a nice car, and supposedly held a steady job.

As if on cue, realizing that my car was full he asked for my name and contact. What would you have done? Well as utterly flattered as I was, I said no. "I'm very private and have a safe journey" I chimed. As I started getting into my car, a last attempt, "I would really like to get to know you better" With a small tiny smirk I replied "I'm taken" and with that cue CSI music as I drove off into the highway horizon.

The primary witness seemed bothered and yet amused at the same time. What would you have done? I prefer not to divulge to much to a stranger in certain circumstances this being one of them. Though I must say I do wish it was the other guy with the BMW sports car a few pumps away hitting on me. Just something I could share with Lover Ben of my current market value despite just wearing a shapeless collared green shirt my favourite Oakleys and pants. Hopefully the value is appreciating. You reading this Lover Ben? Looove you~

P/S: Guys, would you try to get acquainted with a girl at the petrol station? Or perhaps you have tried it before in other places? How about the girls? Do share ^^

Sasa Guest Review: Beautyfoot


Noticed the painfully hard skin accumulating on the sole of the feet? Usually after a long day on your feet in a killer pair of heels.

I often use pumice stones to scrub away the dead skin cells but I have to do it every few days and I'd rather be enjoying my bubble bath then scrubbing my feet.

*ding dong*

A parcel!

Recently Bonjour Glow~* was chosen as one of the few bloggers to review one of Sasa's product called Beautyfoot. And me, your loyal blogger shall do my best and sacrifice myself to try out this product for my dearest readers.

Beautyfoot is a popular Japanese product now sold at Sasa all around Malaysia.

Made of organic fruit acids, it is suppose to naturally strip away the dead skin cell in a painless and hassle free way as the skin naturally regenerates.

Looks scary no? Well I'll let you know 1st hand it doesn't hurt at all.


A pair of plastic socks filled with the said magical potion for youthful looking feet.

In we go... I took a wiff of it and it smells a little like marker pen but nothing unsettling.

Make sure to tape it snuggly and give it a good squish around. Then wait around 1.5-2 hours. Oh...you can absolutely go about your daily chores as the product works it's effect. It was a little funny walking around with plastic around my feet. Not very stealthy but thus is the price for beauty.

1.5 hours later...rinse with water. Remember to rub between the toes like mommy always says. And that's it.

5 days later I noticed that I was shedding. Which was a good sign that the acid was peeling the dead skin cells as the new layer regenerate.

It becomes far worst looking, but there was no discomfort at all. The outer layer just peels off naturally in about 2 weeks.


In the end the product worked just fine.

Here is the breakdown.

Pro:
  • Easy and hassle free to use.
  • Painless.


Con:
  • A slight smell but then you're not suppose to be inhaling it anyway.
  • The price a little steep. RM65.90 per pair of socks. But then it's suppose to last up to 3 months and it really is so convenient.

Verdict: If you're tired of spending time scrubbing your feet instead of soaking in your bubble bath Beautyfoot is a great way to naturally and painlessly exfoliate your feet.


P/S: Psst...It works for guys as well =)

Cannibal Ben.

Remember the excruciating pain as the pieces of pink naked flesh literally slowly ripping apart from within? No? Well check out my experience HERE.

But now, it's Ben turn. *cue evil laughter*

Yes, last week it was Ben's turn to get wiser though I must protest that he didn't suffer as much. You see, He only had a few day of torture before he surrendered to the pain. Off he went to the dentist and instructed the man to promptly burn off the piece of flesh obstructing his wisdom.

Yes, he does have lovely set of chomppers doesn't he. Please don't compare it with mine.

It's not food stuck was behind there. It's Ben's burnt flesh. Yes, it smelled disturbingly good. Like a good ol' Sunday barbie. He actually ate some of it but accident. Or so he claims...

Cannibal Ben still could not chew properly as the pinkish region was still tender and growing. So, me being my loving *ahem* caring lover *cue harps* decided to cook him his most dreaded food.

THE DASTARDLY PORRIDGE!

Now Ben usually avoids eating porridge and anything clear and soupy like the Black Plague. But recently, he's been having a change of taste. I would like to credit it to my *ahem* persuasion skills and love but perhaps he's getting more relaxed and starting to enjoy things in life more.

PROOF!

And not a scowl in sight ^^

P/S: I added plenty of his favorite scallops into the porridge albeit dried . See I'm not that mean.

Dear readers,
Do you have a comfort food that you eat when you're under the weather?
Do share.

Fishie Affair

I love fish.
Wait, let me rephrase that,
I love eating fish.

They are yummy in many different ways and healthy too! Rich with Omega3 oil, that's the healthy kind.
Alright so some of you are saying what about the mercury content? Well let me ask you this, how much do you need to eat in order for it to reach a noticeable let a lone dangerous level.

So, in my endevour to try to be healthy, I had fish the other day.

A futile attempt to be healthy with the added seaweed. Where you might ask did I get this burger with an identity crisis?

The only place I'll have root beer with ice-cream. Only in chains where they frost the mug! That is a must with a side of curly fries as well.

Don't scoff at me, I don't have fast food really often. Hmm...is once to twice a week still considered not too often?

But I couldn't resist. You see, there was a temptress a foot.

Aw....here kitty kitty, I'll get you another fish burger kay?

How often do you have fast food?

Letter from Robb.

Many of you probably already know Robb also known as Sotongzai.
My 1st encounter with him was from Innit back in the days when you can't shut out link spammers by choice. The horror right?

In fact I think I made a bad impression of my self. All I can say is, I was a naive new blogger and I did things that I was not proud of now. But hey we all learn and improve ourselves to be better bloggers. So enough of me ranting on, here is the letter from Robb.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Dear Nuffnangers,

We take a break from our regular programming to bring you a community service message about something that is rather worrying to us lately.

As you might already know, there are 2 types of Nuffnang
campaigns that bloggers may earn from: Metered Cost per Impression (mCPM) Campaigns, which pay according to the number of blog visitors who view the ads running on blogs; and Cost-Per-Click (CPC) campaigns, which pay bloggers based on the number of clicks generated on the ads.

We've noticed that certain groups have been engaging click fraud, which is defined as clicking on CPC advertisements intentionally just to generate earnings for a blog's owner. We understand that some of you may just be anxious about earning some side income from displaying the banner ads, but do note that this is in fact a violation of our Terms & Conditions under Section 6.

Among some of the actions which constitute click fraud are;
- clicking on other bloggers' ads and leaving a comment behind asking/hinting to the owner to click on their ads back
- asking for blog visitors' help to click on the ads
- registering a large number of blogs and clicking on ads on each of them
- repeatedly switching to a different IP to click on own ads

Banner ads spaces are bought by advertisers to promote their advertising campaign. Ads are are only supposed to be clicked on if the viewer is interested to find out more about the advertising campaign, not for the intention of earning extra money. Merely clicking on banner ads for the intention of earning extra money would jeopardize the effectiveness of a campaign. It may seem harmless, but click fraud benefits no one in the long run because should this situation worsen, the frequency of ad campaigns might be significantly reduced as advertisers will be selective to only advertise on blogs with no records of click fraud, reducing the number of ad space available to advertisers.

Our system is capable of tracking these actions mentioned above, which are documented and if necessary, be used as evidence for any legal purposes. In the past, Nuffnang
has suspended and banned various individuals and groups for involved with this offence. However, as the number of bloggers who engage in click fraud has been growing in an alarming rate within our community, we are forced to be more vigilant to bring this to an end. We would take the necessary action to preserve the quality of blogs and ad space available to advertisers so other members of the community are not affected by those who engage in click fraud.

We realize that many Nuffnangers may not be aware that they might unintentionally be involved with click fraud, therefore we ask that you please help us spread the word. If you are aware of any of your friends or other Nuffnangers who have been engaging in such acts, we would appreciate it if you could kindly educate them on the harms of engaging in click fraud activities.
Thank you for your attention.

Say NO to click Fraud.

Cheers
Robb Chew

Now I have to admit, I have clicked on my own adverts before because I was curious. As I'm in Kedah most of the events update I either get from Nuffnang.com or from the ads but I don't click it multiple times as if I'm having a seizure.

And yeah, one of the things I'm not proud off is that I use to let people know what advert I've clicked on. I thought that if they knew that I had dome something for them then they'll do the same. But now I know it's wrong.

As for the last 2, fortunately I don't have the resources or time to do such things as I do have a full time job and the rest is dedicated to love ones and my darling readers, yes you the one who actually read my posts.

Moral of the story is, blog for blogging sake and not for money. If you are a good blogger people will take notice and maybe even paid reviews will come your way soon. So for now, be glad for the o.25 cents we get for free and work hard in building a good blog. Or else you'll be getting a "love letter" or a good spanking from Robb soon.

So remember, be good and play nice.

P/S: My virgin guest review for Sasa will be up on the 17th so sign up as a follower and stay tuned!

Menace to Society

A few nights back I was at Gurney Plaza for a special dinner at Dragon-i. I love their siew long pao (heavenly dumpling with meat and soup inside) and I really like Gurney plaza because it reminds me of KL. Except, something happened.

It was about 9.20 pm at night. I needed to buy something from Parkson. Exiting Dragon-i Ben and I headed straight towards the escalator.

From a distance I saw some young girls clad in school sports-T and mid thigh shorts. They were really young girls and Ben commented later they had UPSR books (12 years old). There were a gaggle of them with a few lagging behind as we pass them.

Then there was a man, a cleaner dressed in navy blue uniform holding a mop. He looked about late 20s to mid 30s. Only the stream of prepubescent girls separated us. Then something cought my eye, or rather my ears.

He was whistling at the girls. The 1st group of girls, frightened quickly walked away. Moving on to his next target, the few still oblivious and lagging behind got the same treatment. And they too walked briskly away head looking at the floor, cheeks turning red. Perhaps not to draw attention to themselves.

All this happen in front of my eyes and I was shocked. My jaw dropped but my feet kept walking. As we we were elevated by the escalator, I turned behind. He leaned over his mop and continued to trail the girls with his eyes.

My heart was boiling. They were young innocent girls with barely any budding blossoms and in no way out to get the attention of any opposite sex.

No, I did not confront him, perhaps I should have but not all of us are born with balls with the same density. I did the next thing I could. I filed an official complaint at the information center.

Some one of authority must know of this. Gurney Plaza is one of my favorite haunts and it's suppose to be a pleasant experience being there. I hope they will take action as such acts is not funny in any country and it may be a precursor to more serious problems.

Have you encountered anything like this? Do share and what were your actions?

Entity REVEALED!

Still having the shivers wondering what I had encountered? Plenty of speculations on what was the white hopping entity and so far, nope it wasn't Edward Cullen, neither was it a ghost.

Erika guessed ambulance because she's been following my my tweets, thanks dearie, and Ron's surprise party had me wondering how would a vehicle and a mass of people look hopping together.

Alright, now for the reveal. The white entity that made me froze and swelled my heart, and had me in a crazy persuit in the middle of the night was indeed a....


Usagi, lapin, or more commonly known as the Oryctolagus cuniculus

My Alice in Wonderland moment.

SEE! Told you I had proof! So yeah, Lukey you got it right *clapclapclap*

Apologies for the long suspense.
