Crying Babies and Noisy Old Ladies

I went on a Virgin Atlantic flight for the first time last friday. Luckily, the flight wasn't full so I grabbed a whole row to lie down. My plan was obviously to get some sleep, at least for a couple of hours through the 9 hours flight. But I just couldn't sleep. Why? Babies!! Ok, all I'm going to say is that I don't think kids should be on a long-haul flight unless they've learnt how to shut up.

So in the end, I stayed up watching Sex and the City movie (which I proceed to cry my eyes out... don't judge me... I was in a sentimental mood), and Made of Honor (again, crying my eyes out).

On the flight back, not only were the babies crying, there was a bunch of old ladies talking and laughing loudly throughout most the flight. GRRRRRR. But I actually got more sleep on the flight back to Sydney. I guess I was more tired than I thought.

OOH! ok... did you know that they serve 'Virgin Cola' on the flight?

What does it taste like, you ask?
It tastes similar to the normal, un-virginized cola, but fizzier and sweeter. HEHEHE

Did you know...#2

William Willett invented daylight savings time because he doesn't want to cut his golfing time short?

He made a proposal of his idea in 1907 but sadly passed away in 1914 before the bill was passed in 1916.

Penguin Lover

i LOVE books. i love reading. i love it even more if the authors that i follow use the same publisher.. because the front cover illustration always match... and they're so pretty when lined up together.

anyway, a few weeks ago i had 3 hours to kill waiting for SOMEONE to finish work. so i went to Dymocks to browse around and guess what i saw.......

glorious Penguin books!!! they're popular, classic titles published by Penguin. they're in their most simplest Penguin front cover style. i want them... but i also know that if i get one, i would need all... and i think its a bit much... i don't think i can finish reading all of the books because i always want more new release books, and in the end if i were to get them, the main reason would be because i want to see a replica of that bookshelf in my room

i am NOT a PC

ok... so i was watching 'The Hills'... and there are always these short commercial breaks showcasing the show's sponsors.

today, the sponsor for the show is Windows... so then they show the new Windows commercial with the slogan 'Life Without Walls'. there were actually quite a few celebrities featured in the 30 seconds commercial, although they only appear for less than 5 seconds.


the thing is... after watching 3 different 30 seconds commercial, i still don't get the message. it's a bit of a weak attempt to try to say 'PC is for everybody'. anyway, i'll let you all judge for yourself.
