Recruitment was solely via Twitter (show us how much of an AB fan you are) and I must say it was highly effective from some hundreds of entries. I submitted these, I happen to be part of this craze (albeit me a fake fan) with my two creations.

Besides, entry was effortless and the prize was pretty darn attractive! Fly to Helsinki, the capital of Finland where the makers of Angry Birds reside. What more, experience an Angry Bird themed flight on Finnair. Now, that’s a first!

I love Changi airport, and I am proud of Changi for putting the little red dot on the map like the red dot on foreheads; noticeable. This collaboration with Changi airport was commendable but I must say @fansofchangi lost a fan because of their professionalism that took flight.

Knowing I’ll have zero change in winning the game, I dressed to kill. After all, knowing how Singaporeans are like, I predicted that no one would be game enough to take the Best Dressed Team prize. Unless someone shows up in this.

I gleefully rubbed my hands and thought that $250 Changi Airport voucher prize would come in useful for DFS. After all, I fulfilled the criteria of a theme (Finnland’s colour),and  I was creative (I am a egg harvester).

Unfortunately for me, @fansofchangi was a tasteless flight of fancy with fickle bending of rules to tip in their corporate favour. For whatever reasons, they gave the prize intended for Best Dressed to the 2^nd top scorer. Maybe he put in more effort with swiping his finger in the challenge.  I am hurt, @fansofchangi.

I am not hard up for the $250, dear @fansofchangi but still, this was very much of a turn-off, it is as if you are all show and tell, not honoring your word. It made me doubt if you really cared about your fans.

Even Finnair feels the same.

On a happier note,

I met the more sincere Finnair people and if I haven’t participated, I wouldn’t have thought of Lapland as a travel destination. Touted as Santa’s home, you can take reindeer rides, sit on Santa’s lap, live in see-through Igloos and gaze at the breathtaking Northern lights.

So, to win a seat on this inaugural Angry Bird flight was very easy. 8 of us had to face-off each other by playing the game. While 2 players go up, the other 6 were not allowed to peep.

Some very amusing quotes overheard from the contestants.

“OMG, not that stage!!!!”

(This was mumbled to herself just by HEARING the emcee briefly described the level setting. While the first 2 players face-off, the rest were banned from peeping. We played Level 3; stage 18-21 by the way, when it was my turn, I even had to ask “what’s the black and white bird’s power?”)

One of the male contestants wore an AB tee, complete with peeping socks. The emcee asked another male contestant if he own one as well. He raised his eyebrow and defensively retorted, “Of course not!” complete with an incredulous tone.

My friend asked which adult would wear an AB tee out! Apparantly many.

 

After all, i wore THIS out. But in argument, i wore it for the contest and it isn’t my everyday fashion (or maybe @fansofchangi couldn’t tell.)

The supporter of the commenter (OMG, not that stage!), a late 30s lady went up to the organizers “Can she (points to friend) keep her number badge?”

So yes, it was definitely a face-off amongst the hard-core fans.

This was the very excited winner of the Angry Birds Challenge, smacking her lips at the thought of flying that very night to Helsinki.

She was really good; she could have played Angry Birds blind folded.

I’m Lovin’ the Open Doors.

In today’s era of high speed Internet, consumerism has evolved. Transparency and engagement is expected of brands and the Golden Arch is right on the curve by opening its kitchen doors to all since 2009.

Never knew such an initiative existed till last Saturday where every invited blogger went into a Macdonald frenzy and together with Silver, we wolfed down 2 boxes of nuggets, 1 Mcwing, 2 cup corn, Medium french fries,a Horlick McFlurry, 1 Fillet O Fish, a Big Mac and 1 Cinnamon Melt.

Don’t you just hate us for eating so much but remaining skinny? Psst…my secret is sucking in. Silver just distracts you with her gorgeous wide eyes that says, ” No, i’m not a glutton.”

Whilst you’ll soon get the exact lowdown of the Open Doors tour by other bloggers, I’ll not spoil the elusive fantasy that you have of Macdonald since childhood. You can sign up for the tour yourself at www.mcdonalds.com.sg/opendoors from 18 Sept 2011 to 19 Feb 2012.

Like how I went to Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Mass Communications because of its produce of local celebs like Jamie Yeo, Cheryl Fox, Jean Danker and Vernetta Lopez (who ALL 2 of them romanced Glenn Ong), success starts at Macdonald.

Just to name drop, Shania Twain, Pink, Rachel McAdams, Jay Leno, Amazon’s CEO all started at the Golden Arch flipping burgers.

And while sandwiches in China are made this way, you can be sure at Macdonald’s you won’t be short changed.

My older brother loves to fart in my younger brother’s face. It may be a silly boyish joke (men do take more pride in their farts than women), but subconsciously it could be a sign of dominance? Like how my male rabbit humps the other male rabbits head (i don’t think it’s really asking for head).

People make jokes about farts and farting all the time.

It actually is no joke, it could be a deadly matter.

A 30 year old man in Denmark is walking a little more gingerly lately, after a minor surgery to his buttocks turned into a smouldering mess.

The man was laying on an operating table in a local hospital having a mole removed from his buttocks. The doctor was using an electric scalpel to remove the mole and cauterize the incision, when the man passed gas. The electric scalpel combined with the methane gas was enough to create a spark that ignited the surgical spirits covering the man’s genitals, setting them on fire.

The man, who is now suing the hospital, said: “When I woke up, my penis and scrotum were burning like hell. Besides the pain, I can’t have sex with my wife.”

Surgeons at the hospital said: “It was an unfortunate accident.”

So, don’t take a fart lightly.
Know your farts.
Prevent unfortunate accidents.

The best fart facts scoured from the Internet…

What are Farts?
Farts are aerosolized poop. The sounds are produced by vibrations of the anal opening, the tightness of the sphincter muscles of anus. This sounds quite like a turn-on.


The gas in our intestines comes from several sources: air we swallow, gas seeping into our intestines from our blood, gas produced by chemical reactions in our guts, and gas produced by bacteria living in our guts.


Can you Make a Living from Farts?
Like the Aunties from Phuket who make a living with queefs, a highly specialized kind of fart that comes from the genitalia of a woman, Le Petomane was a professional farter who could whistle tunes, blow out candles and send flames across the stage in the 20th century.

It may be unbelievable because it’s before our time, but Jack Ass proved it’s possible in modern times too.

P.S sorry to keep re-directing but i still can’t figure out how to post videos in Wordpress!

For the longest time, I didn’t want to convert to a smart phone. I was a late adopter of the iPhone. So I was happily using it, thinking there is no other better phone out there until I met the Samsung Galaxy SII.

To be honest, I was resistant to switching and lamented it was difficult to figure it out but all it took was a change of the mindset and fiddling with the phone. I have heard rumours that the Apple conspiracy is that the iPhone has a shelf life of 2 years. They all start to crank up, out of warranty period thus forcing you to get ANOTHER iPhone. Once you start, you can’t stop.

I do not like to be held ransom by technology, thus am I glad to be sponsored the Samsung Galaxy SII and if without these challenges, I wouldn’t have discovered its functions!

So, Steve Jobs commented that “Cities will be built around Segways”.

Lo & behold, I did the Segway. The maximum speed of a Segway is at 40km/hr & it costs $15,000 to own. Drink & drive. Not.

A friend shared this link with me. In essence, here is her except.

Then i looked up Terry Richardson, still doubting the realism, thinking this is a joke, personal vendetta or malicious rumors. Instead of going to boring Wikipedia descriptions, i found Jennifer Wright who wrote a much more interesting profiling.

Terry Richardson is famous for his outrageous antics and infamous fun on sets…

He recently photographed a lesbian fashion orgy for Purple Magazine. It’s eye-catching. It was also photographed without Terry getting nudity approval from the model’s agents, which was kind of surprising, but at least one model on the shoot says that the nudity happened organically. A few days ago, Abby Kershaw remarked to the Times UK:

“Terry doesn’t force girls to do anything they don’t want to. He puts you in a G-string in a pile of mud because you want to do it. You touch yourself because you want to. For me, that shoot was the truth about how things were between us both, and I felt good doing it. I’m not ashamed of it — why should I be?”

That’s Terry, clothed.
