Pandora Design brings a whole new meaning to disposable plastic cutlery.
All their creations use the material typical of plastic disposable cutlery but with a twist.
Ok the above one’s a bit lame I have to admit…
But that one’s pretty cool- when faced with danger- you can use these as those samurai weapons/throwing stars to make any opponent flee for their life.
What? Quit your gasping. That’s just what it’d sound like if I was a New Zealander.
Anyway, ok Justin, I’ll play your twisted games.
Each player starts off by writing six weird things about themselves before choosing six friends. People who get tagged need to write in their own blog six weird things about themselves.
SIX WEIRD THINGS ABOUT LI
First weird thing about me:
I am very fussy with my fruits. I don’t like watermelon, papaya, durian, purple grapes with seeds. I especially don’t like oranges or mandarins because they smell like cow manure. I used to be bullied about it in primary school- my “friends” threw mandarin peels and pips at me- what a great childhood. I am a nightmare for my nutritionist mother. The other night she threatened me. That’s right, threatened me that she’d take my tickets for the Justin Timberlake concert if I failed to eat one segment of a mandarin. What ever happened to ‘A mother’s love’? And NO I did not eat the mandarin segment because I am too old for her childish games she has ALWAYS played with me. I shall not give in! I hope my children don’t make me peel mandies for them.
Second weird thing about me:
My right hand is my “nail-biting hand” and my left hand is my “no nail-biting hand”. I bite my nails when I’m anxious, or even when I just have nothing better to do. You should’ve seen them in first semester! Bitten to the BONE I tell you. Anyway I decided I’d stop biting on ONE hand at least. It’s a progressive thing for me- getting off biting my nails (hence why one hand is for biting and the other is not). I’m not using any of those things that make your nails taste funny so you don’t bite them- I’m going COLD TURKEY!
Third weird thing about me:
I like being unique or perhaps even alternative. In other words, I don’t like having the same things as other people. Like when I was in Grade 10 EVERYONE at Grammar (my high school) wore Sass & Bide jeans (they probably still do) and so I was very anti-Sass & Bide. Also I like knowing good music that no one’s ever heard about. I’m part of that “niche market” haha. For instance, if I know a song and I really like it and then suddenly it becomes mainstream or other people start claiming to have liked it first, then I no longer like it as much haha how lame! Man I’m embarrassed to say that but it’s true.
Fourth weird thing about me:
When I was pre-school apparently I said I wanted to be a check-out chick AND a teacher when I grow up. A teacher because I loved writing on the black/white boards and also a check-out chick because I like being check out. No I’m kidding. Actually because I liked the whole thought of scanning the bar codes- “beep” goes the scanner, “cordial spillage aisle 4″. Apparently I said I would work as a teacher during the day and then be a check out chick in the afternoon. I was a smart kid.
Fifth weird thing about me:
Buying new stationary motivates me to study. I love buying new pens (check out my pencil case) UQ has the BEST selection of pens, all of which are 10% off for students. I literally spend like 30+ minutes looking at pens trying to decide which one to buy every Monday when I come to study at UQ (ask Mae, it’s true). Stuff the lolly shop, I go bee-zurk over 0.5mm pens. Then after I buy my pen/pens I rush to the library to try them out by writing out chapter summaries. It’s riveting. I live such an exciting life. Envy me.
Sixth weird thing about me:
I find straightening hair therapeutic. I love seeing curly/fuzzy hair instantly smooth upon one swipe of a hot straightening iron. I also love curling hair with the straightening iron- I’m curling expert man. My business card would say “Jien-Li Tan- Hair Curling Extraordinaire” Actually I just love doing hair in general. Mum, suggested that if all else fails, I become a hair dresser/stylist. Appointments anyone?
I nominate everyone in the entire world. Yeh, that’s you, GO
Yes! I touched Justin Timberlake. We’re now practically best friends. It was an AMAZING concert! It seriously was worth it! He sang an NSYNC song so I was very satisfied! haha
There are more photos on Mae’s Facebook, but here are my favourites. My goodness, it still amazes me how close we were.
MARRY ME JUSTIN!!
hahaha – threw that one in for you Lisa Hong!
Came across the Lee Jeans website. Their most recent “colour campaign” really caught my eye. I love the whole melting thing- how appropriate for the up and coming summer months. Anyway, I thought it was very cool… or hot…(since they’re melting), so I thought I would share and care
It’s disgraceful. Today, Easy Way: The Pearl Tea Expert ran out of Pearls.
It’s simply unacceptable. It’s like Boost Juice running out of Juice. It’s like Subway running out of Southwest sauce. It’s like Kentucky Fried Chicken running out of chicken. It’s like the Movie Cinemas running out of movies. It’s like Singapura running out of chicken rice. It’s like Asia running out of fake goods. It’s like Apple running out of innovation. It’s like Oprah running out of money. It’s like Hillsong running out of P+W songs. It’s like Volvos running out of safety. It’s like southside running out of asians. It’s like Enron running out of lies. It’s like Donald Trump running out of apprentices. It’s like prisoners running out of jail.
I hope you enjoyed my comparisons.
Is it a fear of failing? Fear of not making it in life? Or more recently for us students, is it anxiety due to the up and coming final exams?
I recently listened to a podcast with Josh Roberie. Don’t you just love those sentences, those words, in sermons which just speak to you clearer than a Chrysler (?) Anyway, he said this:
“Fear is saying- I trust in more of my inability than God’s ability”
“I can’t do this assignment”, “it’s too hard”, “I’m running out of time to do this”, “I don’t understand anything”, “I’m so behind, I’m going to fail”- Sound familiar? Any time we say this, we are in actual fact saying that we trust more in our inability than in God’s ability.
I challenge myself, and all the students in particular out there, to lean on God’s infinite ability. And with final exams a-comin just round the corner, what a perfect opportunity to put this into practice. Let’s dispose of all those “I cant’s”. For we surely CAN do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us.
Pop-up books with a twist– The Pop-up Lamp
(Otherwise, known as “Book of Lights“, Designed By Takeshi Ishiguro)
The ultimate illuminated manuscript, Book of Lights’ pop up protagonist emits a tabletop warming glow. A wonderfully crafted and cleverly folded lamp springs to life from the hardy white pages of the bound book, powered by a simple low voltage adapter. Finally, a coffee table book that you’ll actually open.
I wonder if they’ll bring out other things you can “Pop-up” like a pop-up cheeseburger, pop-up Aston Martin, pop-up hollywood mansion complete with en suite, heated spa and a butler. YEH, why doncha pop-out THAT
“Food designer”- What an incredible job.
