Tuber Warts...

Came across this article while searching for more leng chai pictures of Urs Buhler =D

As they say in showbiz, you gotta have a gimmick. USA TODAY's Ken Barnes takes a look at some artists performing classical music and the often-cynical marketing techniques used to mass-market them.

Charlotte Church

Selling point: Extreme youth (signed away her life...the angel sounds like a granny now)

Total sales: 5.9 million units

Bond

Selling point: Female string quartet in skimpy outfits (or none)

Total sales: 711,000

Andrea Bocelli

Selling point: Blindness (OK singer only but have to salute him for singing a piece without looking at it...or do they have notes in Braille??)

Total sales: 12.7 million

Lang Lang

Selling point: Youth, piano prodigy (I'm just proud that he is Chinese...professional debut at FIVE...hell)

Total sales: 37,000

Joshua Bell

Selling point: Cuteness, violin prodigy (Red Violin soundtrack...plays like a god...captivates and draws you into the music. A MUST LISTEN)

Total sales: 262,000

The Three Tenors

Selling point: Operatic supergroup (Firmly established at their thrones...still best of yet in their golden years)

Total sales: 1.9 million

Three Mo' Tenors

Selling point: Left as an exercise for the reader

(Who again??!)

Total sales: 106,000

The Irish Tenors

Selling point: Another supergroup, and they're Irish

(Haiyo original sikit lar...how many 3 tenors you want. At least Il Divo is called Il Divo and have...guess what...FOUR members!!!)

Total sales: 989,000

Today in a Happeee happeee mood...
Work was crap easy for the money paid today...and I had fun on top of it =D

Paid to do a lil deco work and act like a fluff of a fan girl...screaming Elvis Presley WE LOVE YOU!!! Well...the big shot of the company dressing up as Elvis anyway (I DO know Elvis is dead).

Another "actress" was paid to impersonate LaraCroft...PHOA!...again...WHOA!
She looked EXACTLY like this (without the water lar)...Asian version of course. All the Ang Moh's eyes were trained on the well defined curves... WELL ppl, use your imagination! It's not right for a female to describe another beautiful female in this way...it's not normal!

Aside from being allowed free reign on the buffet table <3 (3 rounds...HAHAHA), we were also entertained by the big shots on stage attempting a Michael Jackson dance routine. *Think lotsa middle age men...crotch grabbing...and humping actions*

I know you are wondering how all the buffet food stayed down during this "performace". But it was surprisingly side tickling...especially this Japanese guy who had the spunk to dress himself in a leopard skin bikini complimented by an Einstein wig AND completed with stripper moves. Talk about conservative culture...WAhahaha

...but I need the $money$. Let me illustrate how sucky is sucky.

Warning: Bitching session

1. Immediate boss ignores OT hours and pays flat rate, ignores us most of the time too.
- Supposedly working hours 7.30am - 9.00am and 1.00pm - 5.00pm
- Actual hours 6.30am - 7.00pm (no break)
Today is half day, suppose to end at 1.00pm, and I left for home close to 6.30pm. WTF?!

2. Boss above my boss, MAJOR BITCH (Yes without the A censor)!!!
- Spewing sarcastic comments like AK41, ignorant to the meaning of politely asking
- Me and the girls secretly wished that she would never get married (evil...but we're close to exploding...but the thought of NOT receiving our pay after shit work stopped us)

Well...there are SOME things that made it bearable.
1. Cash (VERY VERY HARD EARNED)

2. There were delegates from ALL over the WORLD (Verdict: Japan boasts of the most LENGCHAIS...even our Singaporean aunty co-worker thought so)

3. Gossip galore and Interesting...erm..."uncle" events
- My friend got a Japanese uncle offering her his mobile number, she declined of course. Her exact words: "Chee sin...call Japan no need money ah..." Followed by maniacal laughter.

- And I seemed to get uncles who liked bringing me food...??? Hahaha...maybe it shows on my face. This Ang Moh uncle from the US came close to hijacking my precious KFC takeaway, which needless to say, the starving me was hoarding. Later when he ordered Pizza Hut, he actually saved me 2 slices of pizza...Damn he was making me feel guilty for being a miser. I fished out 2 packet of crackers from my handbag for him (hey I really didn't have anything else to repay him with). He called me adorable and left them on the table...AHAHAHAHAHA.

Was arranging accommodation the other day for AlmondEsmond for his Leadership Camp in PD.

This lady from the hotel called and woke me from my beauty slumber...

Lady: Hello, is this Rachel? *sounds dem chirpy*
TubieSsin: ... ... heelllooo...
Lady: Did you receive my fax the other day? Can I double check your fax number?
*makes me get UP from bed to find the stoopid number*

Lady: This is Taylors College, right?
TubieSsin: Yessss...
Lady: How come you give me Taylors Business School?
TubieSsin: Err...cos Taylors have more than one campus???
Lady: Is it spelt T-A-I-L-O-R-S?
TubieSsin: NOOOooooo.....It is T-a-Y-l-o-r-s !!!

Why would a BUSINESS SCHOOL...have something to do with TAILORING??!!!

The Malaysian education system continues to amaze and perplex me...

The trouble with being punctual is that nobody's there to appreciate it.

Chinese wedding dinners and JonnyKai with the inferior time management skills may be right after all.
