Stuntman with Mind-Blowing Skills

Prepare to be amaze.

Speechless…. such amazing talent. The ones where he jumps through a car window are simply amazing. Especially the one with the door open and landing standing up. He makes it seem effortless. Unbelievable!!

Every time I see stuff like this, I can’t help it to think about how many times he must have beaten himself senseless before he managed to learn to do those stunts. đŸ™‚

No hope

There is simply no hope to enjoy working in this piece of trash that I call, my workplace. Lies, deceit and worst of all, empty promises are what is currently happening right now.

Clueless users as well as clueless new juniors are coming by abundance, in a bid for them to secure that ink on recontract for the next 6 years.

I thought more hands in the project = lighter workload.

Boy was I wrong. Dead wrong.

One by one, capable hands began to move away as they understand how shitty this project can be. Roles are being entrusted to unknowing, innocent faces, not knowing what fate has brought onto them or what the future lies ahead for them.

Had they been in my position and see what’s coming since my 3 years tenure here, they will surely backout and do the same.

Imagine placing a nobody, a newbie, on the helm of managerial role, but NOT informing everybody till the last minute. This, just doesn’t seem right for me.

I think, my time working here is coming to an end, sooner than later.

According to Tulane University doctoral candidate Arman Sadeghpour, an extract of cocoa powder that occurs naturally in chocolates, teas, and other products might be an effective natural alternative to fluoride in toothpaste.

Pickled Penis Portions in Peking

I will never, nor will I ever, eat a penis.

We are in a cosy restaurant in a dark street in Beijing but my appetite seems to have gone for a stroll outside. Nancy (calling herself a nutritionist, not a waitress) has brought out a whole selection of delicacies…She guides me round the penis platter.

The XP versus Vista saga

Due to the longevity of Windows XP Professional, it has become necessary to produce more product keys for system builders in order to support the continued availability of Windows XP Professional through the scheduled system builder channel end-of-life date,” wrote the Microsoft system builder team on its blog yesterday.

Microsoft fans will point to this as proof that XP is a good, solid OS that has stood the test of time. Microsoft detractors will point to this as proof of the failure of Vista to impress users enough to change.

They are both right :-p

I think more people actually appreciate XP since Vista’s arrival. It’s such a hassle because every manufacturer is loading up Vista, feels like Microsoft are shoving it down our throats.

Inconsiderate Drivers

When the Tiny One appeared in my life, I kind of expected that there will absolutely be tales of (mis) adventure coming straight into my path. Never would I expect to have these incidents happening within the first 2 weeks đŸ™‚

So let’s summarise. If you are a dick-head who can’t drive, has the reactions of a drunken amoeba or you drive a car without the capability to stop in 0.001 seconds flat, when it’s raining please dont:

1) Tailgate, it’s not big and it’s not smart and no it doesn’t make you look grown-up.
2) Flirt with your passenger to the point where you no longer look at the fucking road
3) Apply makeup/lipstick/brush your hair/shave.
4) Any combination of the above.

And why do I have a feeling that I will encounter more dick-heads in my life ?
