It's only words...

Recently I've had a craving for bak kut teh.

Image from wikipedia

Conveniently, there's a bak kut teh stall outside my shop and I've always reminded myself to give it a try one day. Sure, it may not be as rich and great as the one you get in Klang, but at least it will satisfy.

Recently, the owner of the bak kut teh stall came to my shop and we had some small talk. Don't ask me how...but the conversation started to deviate. We suddenly were talking about urine. He said he drinks his urine every morning and forces his whole family to do it (even though some of them vomit it out). He maintains its good for the health. I'm not going to discuss anything on this topic...there are people who believe its really good and swears by it. The thought of him drinking his cup of pee every morning...well that will be at the back of my mind when I eat his bak kut teh.


REMINDER TO TRY BAK KUT TEH STALL OUTSIDE MY SHOP - CANCELLED INDEFINITELY

To top it off, he says he always dilute his bak kut teh soup to save money. This guy is a real champion...he lost 3 customers for life (me and my 2 staff who were present). Very smooth talker...

(Hmm, next time he buy medicines from me I should state that I have a tendency to lick every pill and put it back in the box...)

Use Your Illusion

(Yea I know I ripped off that title from Guns n' Roses...)

Haven't been shooting any personal stuff for a pretty long time. Every photographer will tell you that making time to shoot personal projects is always a good thing, I guess you learn a lot of new things along the way and it gives you a chance to find out what you are really passionate about.

Took a while to plan this. The cleanup after the shoot was terrible and my hands were all stained. And the colors are not photoshopped in :)

Warning...

Can't resist this...

I should take more holidays for the sake of my partner.

Fresh Breath

The next time you go to buy toothpaste, look at the choices available to you. What do you see?

MINT.

That's right - Icy Mint, Cool Mint, Fresh Mint, Whatever Mint...Who decided that mint should be the gold standard for fresh breath? And this is not limited to toothpaste but includes breath sprays and sweets.

Yea, we all have to make do with mint. Not cats though...

Scandal! Secret Admirer!

Ahh... secret admirers. What comes to your mind when I say that? I'm sure for many people it will bring back many memories.

No? Don bruff lar...

For the girls, normally they will have to find out who sent the note, chocolates, etc...for the guys, its how to do it without sounding so er...lame.

Heck, I remember this girl when I was in Primary 4 (maybe 5 I'm not sure...but at least I remember its a girl alright!). We go to different schools but the same tuition centre. We would always sit next to each other everytime and our friendship was very innocent. As the days go by, I would look forward to the next tuition session just to sit next to her. Although it lasted for just 2 hours, at least I was happy. That's right, I was her admirer. I'm sure you all know this feeling.

Now what happens when it's not a secret anymore?

Day by day, it seems more people are pointing at us, whispering, giggling around us. Then as quickly as it had begun, it ended. We ended up sitting as far away as possible from each other to avoid the teasing by classmates. If we were to inadvertently bump into each other, we would exchange glances, then be on our way. Anyway, it was primary 4 (or 5) only mah...

So....

Today Ted's gonna reveal someone's secret admirer...heheheheheh. Have a look at what I found below.

Hmmm! WHere have I seen that guy before? I wonder...

What's in a name?

Recently I've been getting back in touch with many people that I've not seen or had any communication with for up to 8 years. It is good news. After they go through my facebook details, they chance upon this blog. The conversation that follow is usually like this :-

Person A: Hey man! How're you doing? What are you working as now?

Me: Not too bad. Working as a pharmacist here in Sabah.

Person A: No way...I thought you were doing photography or something.

Well, I don't mind that at all. After all, nothing wrong being a photographer - its something that I like as well. Being a pharmacist is not so big a thing too - the long hours, facing nasty customers, etc.

I don't blame those people too. After coming to this blog the first thing that greets you will be the banner with all the camera lenses and bodies. Also I've not talked much about my working life as much as I've shared photos on this blog (as you can see on the top right hand corner under labels)...so its not something totally unexpected.

Somehow...I'm wondering if there's something I can do to make it to my advantage. Hmm...guess its time for

How? You like? Let me know, I'll consider changing to this banner. Heck if you guys REALLY like it then I'll put this signboard outside my pharmacy as well.

Facial Wash

Customer walks in to the pharmacy and hands me a note.

Customer: Hi! I'm looking for this brand of facial wash. Its for a friend.

Me: Ok (Opening the note...)

Even though the premise is air-conditioned, I couldn't help feeling a cold sweat break out all over as I saw what was written on the note. Well it says...
