Ultimate Movie Stubs Challenge

When I heard that there was going to be a contest called The Ultimate Movie Stubs challenge, I was psyched. The prize: 1 Samsung LCD TV and 1 cinema hall for screening of Ice Age 3. This is it. This was the one contest that I had a more than remote chance of actually winning. To think that I dare to dream the dream is beyond anyone’s comprehension, cos I only had less than 10 ticket stubs to start with!

This was my tool when asking strangers to give me their tix stubs

What a fun ride this has been.. Within a span of 1 week (30 May – 6 June), I managed to gather 652 ticket stubs. Methods of obtaining include but not limited to asking colleagues/friends, begging, organising movies (with prawn behind the stone intention ), standing at cinema exits and get from moviegoers.

Here's how 652 ticket stubs look like.

Here’s how 652 tix stubs look like.

Anyways, I didn’t come close to winning.. was a long wayyyyy from the winning stubs, which was 1,501 by the way. I will be more prepared if there is such contest next year.. so anyone who has those old movie tix stubs, please pass to me ya..

Till then.. TTFN

Not too long ago early July 08

Now it’s a real trick to somehow give a birthday treat to a good friend AND having a good laugh AT her as well. And so it happened to be Bud’s bday and I decided to treat her to a spa.. not just any spa.. but a FISH spa.. This happen to be one of those many fish spas that has been sprouting like a virus in Klang Valley of late.

Basically, you pay RM38 for 30 min to be tickled to death. No kidding. Well, they are suppose to be a group of little fish called Garra Rufa which exfoliate the dead skin on your feet by EATING them! The fish originate from a hot spring in Turkey where they are commonly known as “Doctor Fish” for their effectiveness in assisting eczema and psoriasis patients in their healing process.(bla bla bla).

With that said, and this was my 2nd time and Bud’s first we bravely went in around 8.30 pm after work. After cleaning our feet, I dipped in head (i mean foot) first to ‘encourage’ a very hesitant Bud. Ok, that clearly didn’t work what with my really tickled expression. I looked more suffering than enjoying. It took Bud at least a full 10 min to finally hover that feet of hers at least to touch the water.. after I ‘sounded’ her cos I was the one paying! Bud’s agonising ticklish expression throughout the session : PRICELESS!

Anyways, Bud definitely had a very unforgettable spa experience for her birthday, which I bet she’s not gonna try again any time soon
