The Walking Talking Typo Detector

So apparently as a copywriter I'm not just responsible for the things I write but am also a walking talking typo detector to everyone in the office.


Situation 1: In the studio discussing about cameras.
Cik Anai was fussing about getting a waterproof camera that allows her to take good shots underwater and the discussion went on behind my back, literally, while I was minding my own business. Then suddenly...

Cik Anai: I heard Olympia is good, too.

Paprik Lover: Yea yea. Olympia is not bad.

*conversation continues*

Me: Huh?
*detecting something is not quite right*

*spins around*

Me: Olympia? Olympus wei! Olympia is College lah.

Cik Anai & Paprik Lover: Oh ya! HAHAHAHA....


Situation 2: On the way to lunch. (the same day)
While in the car, we saw a young Malay girl riding behind her mom on a motorcycle with her tudung flying over her head. As she was attempting to pull her tudung back down...

Ms Easter: See... tak pakai topi keledek.

Me: *again in another huh? moment*
Me: Isn't it topi keledar? Keledek is ubi keledek! POTATOES!

Ms Easter: Oh ya woh. HAHAHAHA...

And mind you such conversations take place on a daily basis. Such as the case of the pirated father. I will never live that down. HAHAHA.

Till next time!

Hello Weekend!

Yes, I'm still sleeping when this post goes up. At least I hope it does. This is me, testing the concept of a scheduled post. Haven't tried it before. Well there's always a first for everything.

See you in another few hours!

Lookie At What I Did This Afternoon!

I steamed a cake.

Yes, you read it right.

STEAMED!

I can't believe how easy peasy it was. I admit I myself was a little doubtful of the "3 ingredients, 3 steps" too-good-to-be-true recipe that I read off the internet. Oh which reminds me...

"Thank you dear Chingy for the link!!"

But it worked! And now I have a new thing to play with. I could take this simple recipe further. Yum! Think about the possibilities.
Hey, now I can even have myself some real desserts the next time I woop up a meal. Oh my. Hehehe...

Oh oh.. Credits! One must never forget to be thankful.

Thank you for sharing the recipe.

WooHoo!

*flails flails flails*

Today is my First Official Leave Day for 2010.

Say Woot? Yes, I know it's already June.
Just be thankful that I have finally found a reason to take a day's off from work. Yet I'm all awake and bathed at 8.43am.

What's wrong with me?!?

Anyway, got to go.
Gotta make the day's off worthwhile.
Tata!

ps: Read the tribute post down under.

Goodbye Mr Clean Hands :(


A shout-out to Mr Clean Hands who bids us farewell tomorrow. But since I won't be in the office tomorrow, here's a little tribute post to you, dear sir, for all the silliness and memories you have brought to the company.

For your excessive need to wash your hands and an even more excessive need to wipe them dry with layer and layers of tissues enough to kill a little tree. *sigh*

For your nickpicky need to pick your teeth everytime after a meal.

For your OCD need to fold both sides of your sleeves in total symetry.

For your attentiveness to all these unnecessary meticulous details and yet owns a table with the thickest layer of dust in the office.


This post goes out to you, Mr Clean Hands...


...the *cough* Prince *cough* of our... umm.. tin foil.

On a more serious note, you have made quite an appearance here in Hiyashibeeps. Your first beep screen appearance was as the My-Hands-Must-Be-Clean AE. The name was a mouthful and wasn't well received by the audience. Mua therefore decided to revamp the cast and you were Mr Clean Hands in the sequel. But I must say, you finally shined when you showed the world your moves. *grins*

What the beep screen people didn't know was that I got some precious behind-the-scene footage that no one has seen. And in honour of your great graduation from the academy of communication today, I present you.... the epic video! *snickers and runs*


Not sure if I'm gonna get killed for this but at least
I won't be in the office tomorrow.

Till next time Mr Clean Hands!
All the best and yes, you still owe me Chocos!
