White macbook I WANT!

Since joining Chilli Red, one of my biggest daily challenge in the office, would be my obsession to keep my Macbook white!

If i have my way, the macbook would look exactly the way it looked, when it comes off the sealed box. 

However, I'll just be thankful if my work surface could actually be just one color, instead of the varying shades of greyscale discolouration, ranging from white white, to somewhat white, to greyish white, to horrible grey! Urgh!

My eyes hurt just from looking at it.

The grossest place would be the palm rest areas, and coming along second, would be touchpad areas!! As for the keys.... I seriously believe that the vowels and my preferred numbers are emerging darker than the rest! 

Gosh! I do believe that i might have to start changing passwords soon! *laughs*

It took me so much effort to clean it on a frequent basis, only to know that hardwork and conscious effort doesnt pay off here! :(

I've resigned and resorted to sticking 2 new pieces of post-it notes weekly, and just looking at the weekly build up of the post it notes - i'm greatly disgusted! 

(you probably would not want to visualise how gross the pretty white palm guard that came along with the laptop was, before i chucked it into the bin)

*grumbles*

I googled occasionally, and am i glad to know that I'm not the only one with an Obsessive Compulsive Behaviour here! woo hoo!

those dark, sketchy stains that slowly grow like a cancer where you rest your palms..Gizmodo

Well, I've attempted hand sanitizing gel, kleenex the window cleaning solution - inspired by how to clean your white macbook, lighter fluid, and now i'm inspired by a super geek caleld Alex raiano, to get a mister clean eraser! I wonder if Singapore carries Mister Clean Eraser? Im definitely heading over to the supermarket this weekend!

Boy, am i glad that my personal macbook is of Brushed Aluminium "color"! 

Of i might just die from too much Mac-whitening to do!

Cheers!

A day with the brother

I spent saturday hanging out with the brother at home, doing nonsensical stuff!

He was helping out with my weekly little Zoo cleaning up routine, when I had this "brilliant" idea of popping corn kernels!

So there we go, 2 tiny little dried corn-ings and a smiley brother!
Close up of our subject!
 2 little corn-lings sitting in the microwave...
Jabbed at a few keys, and hey presto! 

Popped corn's on its way!

Well you probably wondered where we found the corn-lings from...

Which leads me to......Heheh.... a fresh packet of golden corn for the little zoo to nibble on!! 

hahahahaha! ( Oops! Mom wasnt quite thrilled to know that her microwave has been sacrificed for our short little experiment/entertainment - but she wasn't home until much later in the evening anyway!)

It all started with a few corns-lings that was detatched frm the cob.... and came my awesome idea of popping it for fun la! *sheepish smile*

Here we have the packaging of my ingredient!

Vitakraft's golden corn nibbles for little animals like bunnies and guinea pigs!

It comes with a handy clip to latch onto the cage grills for easy nibbling, and Look how happy the bunny is, nibbling his new treat! :D 

but after 2minutes-ish.... i ran back to the kitchen, only to be greeted by....

a pathetic sight! *sigh*

I thought to myself, perhaps the timing wasn't long enough, and so i tried it for a second time!

*double sigh* the corn's just gotten more charred, and the microwave oven was emitting charred smells, and that's when i gave up and chucked the charred corn-lings away. 

Such sad Corny idea. :( 

Shouldn't the corn pop like the packeted ones available at the supermarket?

I do not understand why!!!  

Now that project popped corn had failed, i moved on to project beautifying the brother! 

( I actually remember how sad i was when I had bad skin...so I feel for the brother now...)

Therefore, I've decided to slather peel off charcoal masque onto his skin, in an attempt to decongest his pores alittle!

Seriously, i waited for the longest time for the masque to dry up, and it never quite did!

Sweaty nosed brother = never a moment of dry face = masque not drying up.

I gave up waiting for his nose to dry up, and started peeling the stuff away! I'd say that

peeling off was rather successful, with the exception of the sweaty nose bit!

Hahah!

I banned the dood from laughing, and this was his best shot. Hur!

This marks the end of "ka -jiao-ing" my brother for a day.

Lalalal!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Yeah, it looks as if I've disappeared off the surface of the earth from blogging, but fret not! I'm back!

I went for a haircut about a week ago, because my hair's grown a tad too messy for my liking. It's all limp and flat, and it just looking at myself in the mirror, my mood goes all limpy and flat as well, so a haircut it was, to perk me up!

I've finally decided to go for a change in my choice of hairdresser, and she gave me bangs! :D  It was an interesting change for me, and i was mostly amused with the "massage"/ vibrating chair, while getting my hair lathered. The haircut was rather pleasant, and I left the new place feeling rather pleased! 

As usual, changes to the hair is often a good excuse to camwhore, and I ended up with a cute shot of baby instead! Argh! Just take look at his naughty face! 

And after much cajoling/threats, he finally cooperated in my pictures. Yay! :D

Since it's Easter, we should always have some bunny and easter eggs involved right?!

Forget about the egg bit, and meet my 2 cuties!

The house / easter bunny's got this - . - expression in the picture..

Apart from his act shy/ act cute expression, I've also realised that Scrabbles has gone creamy at the under tummy! Oh no! He's a black bunny no more! 

Scrabbles laying on my lap, looking resigned. (I think he's given up on behaving like a crazy, wild bunny...and have gone all act cute, and cuddly like a soft toy lately.)

 
To be fair, there's also pictures of the house darling, Pixie!

Baby took this shot for me, while i was lazing on the floor with pixie. 

She's still fat and furry, but I guess age is creeping up on her.

She refuses to stand and "beg" for treats, like the way she used to. :(

Random shot of our bugsy teeth!  heh heh!
That's all for now....and I shall sign off with baby goofing in my pictures again. :D

(He was trying really hard to break my bejewel high score of the week - 130,700)

I guess i would not be able to achieve that score, without him offering his Tablet! I guess the fujitsu Tablet PC is almost as cool as a Macbook la... Tee heehee!    

Tata!
