Seriously, how are the contestants from overseas cope with the air conditions during the Olympics??

Thinking of food, there’s just too many to list what food you miss when you’re overseas. Eating those dirty food while hanging out with your lame* friends, those moments are what Mastercard would trademarked as, priceless.

Here is something you might or might not know. Our favourite snack stall has been naughty, and I those uncle-auntie-bapa-mama stalls which has a big wok full of dirty oil, reused over a zillion times.

Here an newspaper cutting which somebody sent me:

They have been putting plastic bottles into heated oil to melt it, and that keeps a coating of chemical around the fried food to keep it crispy for a long time.

Yummy isn’t it? So when are we gonna eat goreng pisang again? Not so priceless afterall..

Finally, after so long everyone has waited, the inspiring phone has emerged into the market.

Despite having all the cool factors and great features on a single handheld device, people around the world who are bothered with the fact that enormous amount of people queuing up in front of Apple and AT&T stores. People willing to queue up to FIVE DAYS just to get themselves a hand of the keypad-less and even miraculously stylus free device.

Some quotes from theage.com.au:

“…teenagers said they were paid up to $US300 to queue for the device on behalf of others and many buyers were hoping to sell their iPhones for a handsome profit.”

“One New Yorker was even offered $US4500 to sell his place in an iPhone queue.”

“I’m keeping one and selling the other two, I’m trying to get $US1,200 ($A1,400) for them,” said Johnson, who had queued up for 25 hours. “I haven’t slept in a day and a half,” he said. “I need a nice hot shower and a bath.”

$US4,500!! That’s SEVEN iPhones you can buy in total!! The other fella is smart to ask the girl in front of him to get another unit for himself as they limit only 2 units for every purchase.

GOSHHHH……….. There goes tenth of thousands dollars flow down the drain!! What can I say more?

LA Cops are STUPIDDD!!!! Whoever it is who suggested to crush impounded cars, your brain is no bigger than my balls!!

Look at that car, do you know how much they put in to race on streets?? As the reporter suggest why not part it out and sell??

You can even feed more workforce in your police station to work your fat ass at night to ensure the streets are safe from illegal street racing!!

Don’t you think it’s stupid to crush them? I think they’re just too jealous of the souped up cars.. Why not take out their wheels and put it in your police cars!?? Now that’s a good idea I think!

I suggest EA games should take my idea and put it in the game Need for Speed… HAhahaha… Gamers won’t want to see their cars in the game get CRUSHED right??? Then nobody gonna play Need for Speed no more! LOL

again… idiots!
