Roasted Kao Kao

"can u change ur template to less childish colours ah?

Calvin
"walao wat kind of color is this? ><>"
Fritz
"arghh my eyes!!!"
Kevin Tan
"cat tumpah ke ape ni? sakit mata la~"
Amalina

while she told me this, "lols! i kept laughing when i read ur cbox"

Four and a half-nil.
That is what the scoreboard is displaying and I reckon it will only get worse. I got a real roasting in the space of less than 24 hours and I decided that I should not let it carry on. If you could still recall, I came out with a horrendous idea of creating a new layout with a new colour monthly. It started of gayishly, and then turned into sexy red. Both of the layouts received mixed comments. Some said it was okay, some otherwise. Fair enough, I took those comments into considerations and decided to carry on with this colour scheme layout thing.

I know this layout has terjolok-ed the eyes of many. Sumimasen...
However, disaster stroked and it hit the spot yesterday, when I came out with an orange layout which in my honest opinion, was a pain in the armpit ass for most of us. Little wonder that all the comments I got so far are the ones I have put in extra large font above. I usually practise democration in my decision making when dealing with people and since all the responses I got was much more than a two-third majority, I thought it is the time for a change. As a result, I went back to square one and chose to make the ultimate makeover for my blog. This is the new layout which I have come out with which I will never change it again for some time to come.
You see, I don't have the money to pay for whatever damages that I had caused to those of you who claimed to have had suffered from being blind, or paint spilled all over the places. Hence, this is the only thing I could do - treat you to a plate of chicken rice.

I was roasted worse than my black roasted chicken.
I know you won't get to taste it, but see it also counted already lah, right?

What Election Means To A Kid

Disclaimer: This blog is politically neutral and does not endorse any political party.
Forget about all the manifestos and promises by any parties contesting in the upcoming election. It is not in my agenda to touch anything about that. What caught more of my attention is the conversation I had with my mum last night when she mentioned to me that my youngest sister out of a sudden, showed some interest in politics. I mean, how often would you come across a young girl who is still studying in a primary school who ask you thing related to politics and elections, wouldn't you? Nonetheless, putting her innocence into considerations, you will expect innocent thoughts from that girl at the same time. My mum had warned me beforehand that I will laugh my ass off when I listen to her story and indeed, I was gasping for air when she was finished with the whole story.
Here are the conversation between my mum and my youngest sister, which I have tried quoting them as exact as I could from like the original conversation (which was mainly in Hokkien), happened several days ago. Pardon me for the broken English used in the conversation as it would make it more natural for me to quote them in such way.
Mum: So Cindy you see, all these petak-petak thing hanging around nowadays, they called it perang poster.
Cindy: Ooo... I know, I know, 'cos got election rite?
Mum: Yea, and this lam ee ch'in kin. It's Abdullah one lor.
Cindy: Harh??! What is ch'in kin? (My youngest sister has the poorest command in Hokkien among my siblings)
Mum: Ch'in kin is dacing. You know what is dacing?
Cindy: Dunno...
Mum: Never mind. But that ch'in kin or dacing is kerajaan wan lor. Then you see this one. Got like rocket shape one. This is DAP.
Cindy: Ooo... Ei, ei, I hear hor, the green one is bad one wor. Like musuh lah means? (I have no idea whatsoever where did she got that idea)
Mum: Ooo, that is PAS.
Suffice to say that the conversation continued with some curious questions on a few more parties before she come out with the ultimate final question.
Cindy: Got so many to choose hor. Then, we must vote which one wor?
