Hahaha! Sorry I lied! But I’m intending to get a tattoo when I’m in UK for my study trip. And I’m most likely getting that lightning bolt done on my right wrist! It will be my first ever tattoo, so I had to mentally prepare myself for this lifelong decision.
It’s not an “original thought” though, because it is almost identical to Ginette’s…
I am really fond of lightning bolts and Ginette’s one of the people that I really look up too. And getting it done on my right wrist is sort of a significant move too; I’m a righty and I’ll never be able to draw something that precise with my left hand. My only concern is if Gin will find it revolting by me getting the same tattoo as her!
I think of the most warped theories all the time, and after watching Inception, it pushed me further to think of all the different kinds of reality there might be in this world, fiction or not.
And under the influence of the very funny Annoying Orange, I begin to think what would happen if potatoes were given eyes and mouths, and for that matter, lives of their own!
Well, if you would allow me to take you on a ride of wild imagination, I personally feel that each and every potato will have a “dream” of how they will eventually become on human’s table.
It is not sadistic, of cos! It will be like as though it is their ultimate calling or goal in life to be consumed by humans and be highly praised that they are delicious!
Every potato will aim to be the cream of the crop, the best, and the first class of all potatoes!
Say, some will want to be in a curry dish served in a fining dining atmosphere, others yearn to be some kind of premium French fries, and many would want to become everybody’s favorite tidbit – potato chips!

But I realized there isn’t really a hierarchy of potato chips, is there? Potato chips, are just potato chips, no?
Well, I was soooooo wrong!
Look at what this quirky fella has to say about his potato chips!
I’m amazed by the detailed and intricate the preparation process of Mister Potato’s chips!
If you were to ask me, I believe this is where all the potatoes would dream to be! It’s like the first class of all potato chips!
If “food blogger saga” don’t ring a bell to you, do read it up over at Nadia’s and Esther’ well-reported blog posts.
So anyway, here’s what I’ve learnt from all the wonderful people that are involved in this private public affair:
#1:
Anyone can register and become a blogger. In fact, after I sign up, restaurants will immediately invite me for food tasting but of course, I will pay for the food myself.
#2:
There is absolutely no need to listen to both parties during a dispute before making my comments. In fact, I can still be unreasonable and assume the explanation of the accused party is invalid.
#3:
The most effective way to insult is to change the person’s name with creative word play.
#4:
When a fellow food blogger is in trouble, it is the perfect chance for me to bring him down and gain publicity from it! After all, if I’m wrong, I’ll just close the comments, take down the post and say sorry.
#5:
If all else fails to save my ass in a social media dispute, I can always write a press release and put the blame on everyone else but me. Oh, must not forget to praise myself in the write-up too.

P/s: Came across with this tweet. Food for thought, IMHO.
adies and gentlemen, say hello to my blog’s spanking new design! I finally got down to do the dirty work! Well, I never thought that I would come up with a new design during this period of time, and with all my school work piling up, I most definitely didn’t plan ahead to finish this!
I merely went with the flow and inspiration; Opened up Photoshop, did a little typography, added a photo of myself. One thing led to another, and before I knew it, it was already half done and it just doesn’t justify if I don’t take the next few steps to complete it!
Although this new design is rather classic and nothing too fancy, may I be so proud of myself and go ahead and brag that I coded this WordPress blog design ALL BY MYSELF FROM SCRATCH!
The entire design process took me about two and a half days! Half a day to come up with the design, and I spent the next two days coding it. I was such a WordPress noob before this, so the time spent coding was like a crash course alongside the design process!
Oh ya, I approached a few people to ask for quotations for coding, but I was already half way through the coding when I got the first reply! So it doesn’t make sense if I were to pay for a new set of codes, right? But of course, I can’t compare my noobish WordPress coding with the professional ones lah!
The old “tagline” of my blog wouldn’t fit this new design, so I had to come up with a new one! And I got my inspiration from Lady Gaga’s Telephone music video:
Lady Gaga: Sure you wanna do this, honey B? Beyonce: What do you mean am I sure? Lady Gaga: You know what they say, once you kill a cow you gotta make a burger. *stares at camera*
A brief definition of “kill a cow, make a burger” is that, once you gonna do something, you’ve got to do it all the way – What a perfect description of the process of this new design!
I think there are still some small little bugs to fix (like how ugly it looks on iPhones, and I’m presuming iPads too), so if you have a keen eye and happen to spot any goof, do let me know!
