Filler Post #2

Just got back from Genting's. Really exhaustive, 3D2Ns.

Anyhow, it was worth the trip, more details on my next post.

As for now, as the title says, i fill something up to indicate my existence still lingers.

Ever wondered really awkward and odd advertising from other businesses? And some that really puzzles you what they are really trying to sell?

It was quite some time back already, where i had a meal with my gf's group of friends in Sunway Pyramid (not at Phase 2 mind you) , they were stopping by at the wash closet and this poster just seem to grip my sight without haste.


Appealing as it is, i drew my phone out and started snapping pictures of it. My girlfriend stepped out of the washroom and was curious with my actions. As soon as she had a glance of the poster with my detailed presentation of my perspective towards the poster, she was disgusted and demanded to depart from that area.

Anyhow, I shall present my detailed perspective of this print ad,


Firstly, I hope that this is not the owner of the restaurant, otherwise this ad can prove to be deadly. With that sort of stare towards your eyes, even the males will feel that it's an obligation to add more security towards their sacred area.

"That's a rapist stare, without doubt."

My girlfriend rolled her eyes and wanted to me to put a halt on continue analyzing the poster. But i can't just end here, because,

the headline was too magical to look away.

A rapist stare and a magical dining experience .. what a fascinating combo.

A few steps away from that poster, apparently, they had sequel to it :-


At first glance,

"It's not that bad .. "

But wait, have a closer look,

" I can read your every movement .. "

Putting the body copy aside, adding on their prequel of this ad and wa-lla!

This entire ad campaign can prove to be either a real attention grabber for a dining place or a secret passage to a den of rapists.

I hope my review isn't too harsh, but that is it for now.

Thank you for your time.

God bless, cheers.

Filler Post # 1

Free publicity? Maybe.

Perhaps, the fact that the location of the outlet is rather out of place balanced this post of publicity charity.

It's located at the 2nd floor, along the row of burger king and yoshinoya (Yes, i noticed, publicity for them too.) at 1 Utama shopping complex. Yet, the contribution from the nearby outlet at The Curve seem to do a good job. Despite the drawback of the location, many PJ folks would identify the trademark with haste.

My,my, i just realized it is rather difficult to find the logo on google.com ..

Anyhow, here it is,

By the way, this wasn't taken from google ..

Yup, the current all time frenzied donut.

Me and Gary still can't comprehend the sudden craze of PJ folks over these donuts.

Yet, if you observe close enough on the image above, you will seem to notice a rather unfamiliar phrase beneath the logo,

Was Big Apple's slogan - "Always Fresh Always Tasty"?

With the power of an index finger, the truth is revealed,



And with decent skills of peeling stickers ..


Well, well.. what do we have here?

In this sort of scenario, a few speculations can be made..

1.) The Owner of Big Apple was a secret admirer of PappaRoti franchise and wanted to give tribute to the Cafe in disguise.
2.) The factory that was responsible for printing the paper bags of Big Apple messed up with their order along with PappaRoti. Instead of reprinting, they decided to cut their loss by producing Big Apple stickers and paste them over the PappaRoti paper bags.
3.) Rotiboy was obedient and did not follow PappaRoti's footsteps.
4.) It's a peel and win contest, who finds the Pappa first wins a life time supply of donuts!

As far as i'm concerned, these paper bags was distributed at the 1utama outlet. Yet, honestly speaking, it would be a horrible decision to cut cost by distributing such bags for the trade of branding power.

I strongly believe, you can never find Starbucks doing anything like that.

Bear in mind,They are hoping into the bandwagon too .. as in the frenzy. Big Apple better treat their branding power lightly, although i have yet to see any J.CO donuts within my sight.

Last but not least,
You better start buckling up, stale and empty filled donuts won't bring you far in the competition. The days where i had joyful childhood memories of dunkin donuts seem to be erased . .

Pardon me for the absence of mouth watering images of donuts. Due to the fact that my pockets are not filled with any green by posting this post up, this is as much as i will go.

Thank you for your time.

God bless, cheers.

Update Terkini!

EXAMS ARE OFFICIALLY OVER! :D

Till then,

Thanks for everyone's support, especially my dear and Jane. : )

The Addictive Hand Held Console!

Which Console would be really addictive?

The PSP?

OR

The Nintendo DS?

Perhaps a friend of mine, Ean Chan may lend a helping hand .. after all, he is a collector of consoles.

Note: Image is on an exaggeration basis. Please do not find him for these consoles.

But then again, because he IS a collector, he might not pick sides . .

Well, how it all started was when my girlfriend bought her Nintendo DS. And at the same time, Anderson bought this PSP too.

Of course, my hands were constantly on the Nintendo DS whenever my girlfriend comes over .. yeah not a good thing.

Comprehend my emotions! Gamers, I plea for your support!

I was browsing through her R4 ... and then, I saw it :



As a supporter since Final Fantasy 7, man this game really bring back memories. The classic turn basis style, cute characters, quest to complete, training your character's level and last but not least, the Chocobos!

Adorable as always.

Here is a short video of how the game play is :-

Couldn't find the English version of this demo.

Yet, the defendant has the famous Final Fantasy 7 : Crisis Core.

With super cool characters . .


Here is a TVC for the Crisis Core on television :-



Conclusion is, I'm convinced in getting a DS still. After all, if I get a PSP, i can't link mine with my girlfriend, so that'll be a problem. Perhaps, someone can convince me to think otherwise?

I fully comprehend there are a lot more areas I can touch on these 2 consoles, but just in case I might bore certain audience, I rather keep it short for now.

Thanks for your time.

God bless, cheers.

Gossip can break the strongest bond . .

Proverbs 16:28 A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.

How true, if you really take a good thought about it.


Sadly, many don't.


The problem with gossipers is that they do not comprehend the definition of gossip.


Gossip -noun
:idle talk or rumor, esp. about the personal or private affairs of others.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gossip


That is a very general definition of gossip.


The main issue with gossiping is that it meddles with - Trust.
And Trust is a vital criteria in every single friendship.


Allow me to present my thoughts and perspectives.


These are the few factors why one would want to gossip :

• "If it covers my weakness by presenting his/her weakness, why not?"

• "I need the attention, desperately."

• "This is what I do best, an "information" provider."

• "I have malicious intentions in dealing severe damage towards the person's reputation."

• "If everyone else is doing it, why can't I?"

There are many other factors to it as well, but I hope you roughly get the picture.
Most of these factors are trying to convey one simple message which is - self centeredness.

What they don't realize is, by doing such a simple act, it leads to a vicious cycle.

http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/46/19/23211946.jpg

Allow me to elaborate.

Assuming, there are 5 people involved in this scenario,
Kenny, George, Edward, Sally and Angelica.*
* Names are for illustration purpose only.

It's their first day at work. They just met each other, shaking hands and all except for Edward.

A really timid and shy man, he tends to stay away from the crowd.

However, interestingly enough, whenever he glance at someone, he tends to present a snobbish outlook. Yet, only George knew about the real truth, that Edward did not intend to stay away from them just because he thinks he's too good for them or anything similar to that idea.

Edward was just feeling shy.

Angelica saw this gleaming opportunity. The opportunity to gossip.

She also knew that her lack of participation in projects are beginning to be noticed.

The others haven't really got to know Edward yet, and before that event took place, Angelica already took the first strike.

"Guys, have you heard about Edward's previous profiles? It's unbelievable for the company to hire someone like him!"

"What you've heard Angelica?"

"Horrible anger management, many failed projects, poor attendance .. the list is really long!"

"And trust me, after working for 10 years, there's no way I can get this mistaken. Just becareful when you're working with him. If possible, request to work with someone else!"

George heard the gossip, confronted Angelica and questioned her act. He thinks that the matter must be clarified.

Angelica was familiar with these sort of individuals, after gossiping for countless years.

She twist and turn the story, confusing George's mind to be convinced with her words. George then decides to remain silent and ignore the matter.

Soon enough, Edward was isolated for something that wasn't true to begin with. His profile was clean and was transfered over to this company for a better salary.

He's not aware that Angelica was behind all this and even spread good impressions of her towards people he just met with although he doesn't really know her well yet.

As time passed by, Sally and Kenny realized that Edward was constantly performing and never came late to duty unless for exceptional occasions. They raised their eyebrows toward Angelica's earlier comments.

Angelica quickly formed a backup plan as she want things to continue the way she wants it.

"A fantastic actor isn't he? Trust me, it's just a matter of time before he actually shows it. But it's best that you stay away from him."

Edward was really lost, unsure of why the other workmates are isolating him and started to become depressed. Socially deprived at work as well as at home.

Slowly but surely, his performance at work was affected and due to his sleepless nights, he was late for work, on a consistent basis.

George still knew the truth and also knew what was going on all along after doing some investigation. He hinted the others about Edward and told them to try giving him a chance.

Alright. Full stop here for the short story.

I'm not sure how applicable this scenario is to you, but in this scenario, there are few things to consider :-

For Kenny and Sally :

• Is it really that difficult to investigate the truth on their own? Instead of relying and being dependent on someone else instead of themselves? How credible can someone else be more than yourself?
• Being comfortable with things are, having someone else as a victim, they prefer to stay in the shadows. Problem is, if Angelica can be so bold to protect herself, why can't she do the same towards them when it comes to dealing with the boss?

For George :

• Knowing the truth has a burden on his back. If he chooses to ignore or take the matter lightly, how is Edward ever going to trust him if he discovers the truth?
• Angelica would also seize that point, prepare it for emergency occasions to keep her on a secured zone. Not going to help George at all, won't it?

For Angelica :

• She thinks that she's in the best position in the world. In my opinion? Far from it. To actually step into her shoes would be unimaginable. The fact that she cultivated the habit to gossip, the entire office becomes an award winning drama. Who's who? The thing is, no one dares to pour out their true colours as they fear to be gossiped, rather, always seeking the opportunity to attack another. Ironic as it is, no one trust no one.
• What's worse, because Angelica was the director and producer as well as the main actress of the drama, she lost her entire identity, only to realize that she doesn't know who she is anymore. Putting more and more lies and acts in front of others only to "survive" another day.

http://www.freedomlab.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/trust.jpg

Finally, for Edward :

• Continue to be who you are. It's true that the life we live in is truly unfair. The more you try to justify, the more you are accused. But it's only unfair if you live your entire life without acknowledging God's existence.
  
• God is still the final judge.

Psalms 101:5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him will I put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not endure.

The remedy to this deadly poison?

Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

True enough, if you want to bring up a matter to someone, make certain of what's your purpose of doing so.

Is it to aid the person in covering his weakness and improve himself? To discuss with others on how to help this someone so that it benefits everyone?

Or,

Is it because you just despise this person and the way he did things, and you had to make sure that you look good?

Instead of focusing on gossiping, why not complimenting?

The Bible offer great truths and strength, which explains the eternal joy that remains in my soul. If Edward isn't a Christian, it is only normal for him to morph into a monster.

Forgive me, if this post seems to take a rather serious and personal tone. But I strongly believe that this topic shouldn't be left neglected. Many innocent victims don't deserved to be treated that way, that includes the gossiper him/herself.

On the other hand,
