Car Wash
Ever been to a carwash? Normally, my friends would either wash their car, themselves or send it to the automatic carwash thingys. These thingys are like a tunnel and your car gets moved from one end to the other while being "showered", soaped, scrubbed, "showered" again and "blow dried". Of course there is the occasionally, polishing at a certain rate.
About a week ago, I was given the chance to attend a "carwash ceremony" with my mum. After a whole morning of shopping, she decided that her car needed a good cleaning. I, on the other hand, thought that she was gonna park her car at the carwash thingy machines but NO... she decided to drive to Seapark and turn into this parking lot. There, stood 4 Indian boys, barely the age of 20, washing cars. 2 boys were in charge of washing the car and the other 2 were to vaccum and polish. An average price for a car would be around RM8 (minus polishing).
What shocked me the most was that they have arranged soda and chairs for car owners to sit, while waiting for their car to be done.While I was there, there were 2 other men waiting. 1 was playing with his PDA and the other was reading a newspaper. It was actually quite comfortable. Another shocker came was when I realised that some of the car owners actually leaves their car keys to the boys as they don't want to wait and go have their snack or something. The best part came when one has to drive from washing area to polishing area. As I said, these boys were barely even 20 years old (maybe even younger, I'm speculating here) and I bet that they have no driver's license. Yet, they drove those cars (whose owners gavwere not around), whether the car was big or small, automatic or manual, they still managed to drive it.

After being scrubbed, a good shower from one of those high-powered sprays
Car had to be driven to another spot to be vaccumed and polished
The whole process took approximately 10mins a car.
New Forms of Transportation...?
This will never be accept in Malaysia... Imagine all over the roads, there's hogs... We'll need loads of mud, instead of highways and an awfully long time to get from one place to another.
More piggy cars...? (Pink, you might like this cos it's pink.)
A slow car? I hope it moves faster than it's original source, or else, you'll have people honking and swearing you off the streets.
FOR THE MEN... These would be more your liking...
I assume these kinda cars will make the men think of speed and turbo and being a superhero...
As for this one, the men would prolly love to run their hands round the sleek shape and hardness of the.....
Bonnet.... (What were you thinking...?)
FOR THE LADIES... This might be more suited for you.
I'll prolly have mine a bit more lacy and strappy *winks*
This next one really tickles me. Imagine driving round in this....
Hahahaha...

How Old Are You Now...?
brought to you by Quizilla
SWEET TEEN!!! Yes you are a teenager mmmm from 13 - 19
quite a little rebel haha just kidding...
You think as a teenager, you see everything quite simple, soon
you will realize it is not that simple. In my opinion you look at
things in a very beautiful way. =)
Yeay... Yeay... I'm still a teenager (I wish) *rolls eyes* If only I could turn back time. Being a teenager was my greatest time. When raging hormones kicked in, flirting was common, dating "bad boys" was the norm, moving in and out or relationships were nothing unusual, skipping class and smoking behind anywhere we could find was a thrill and just being plain ruthless, thinking the world is our oyster. Ahhh... Yes, it was great fun being a teenager.

Can't Help Myself
I found this while surfing around. Afterall, being the office with nothing to do and loads of internet access, what more can I do?
When I can across this, I couldn't help it but to use it in this blog. All I thought about was Pink, cos she HEARTS Orly Bloom.
