Elves pulls the ye olde switcheroo
Thursday, December 27th, 2007
Imagine waking up to the alarm clock you’ve set on the night of Christmas eve, rubbing your sleepy eyes, flipping your blanket aside and immediately start sprinting, jumping and sliding down the stairs to open up your present under the Christmas tree in anticipation for the gift your parents bought you. Then you tear the gift wrappings asunder like a ravaging starving predator with gleaming eyes of lust, thinking that this is indeed a trophy worth bragging about due to the sheer weight of the prey.
As the wrappings fall apart like autumn leaves, the lust increased tenfold as what you see is the shiny, sexy black behemoth known as the Playstation 3. Laughing maniacally and screaming “Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God ~~~” you ripped opened the box and yanked out the PS3 thinking that you’d never see sunshine ever again.

Oh how naive you are. What you yanked out isn’t exactly what you’d hope for. Instead of a technological powerhouse, you yanked out a thick phone book of Thousand Oaks, USA. That damn elf pulled the ye olde switcheroo before Santa chucks the box into his red sack of goodies. Elves, cheeky creatures. Not exactly something you’d want on Christmas day eh?
Well this happened to 13 year old Brandon Burns on Christmas morning. Apparently, he was more amused by the whole thing rather than angry. His parents however aren’t exactly as amused as their son especially since they spent $499USD for the PS3. They said that they plan on taking the phone book, the box, and their receipt back to the Thousand Oaks EB Games store where they bought it and hoped that the store believes their story. All the best guys!

Here I am back in KL again, although for entirely different reasons. Been staying at my mum’s youngest sister’s house for a few days. She has two kids, the boy is eight years old and the the girl five. The eldest is a super hyperactive boy, not only mentally and physically, his mouth is also as active. The girl on the other hand is quiet, stubborn and shy at times. What a vast difference.
This day marks the day another twelve months have past since we’ve started dating few years ago. This year is special. This is the first twelve months without any argument or problems. It goes to show that with patience, tolerance and understanding, we can avoid a lot of unnecessary conflicts. I guess, as the years goes by, we grew more mature and have a different perspective on things.
I’ve finally took the plunge a week ago and took the bus down to KL at around 8 am in the morning. Best decision I’ve ever made that’s for sure. After being separated for nine months, I’m finally united with my love.In that one week or so I’ve been in KL, I’ve managed to meet up with my friends, watched a couple of movies, meet my gf’s friends, had lots of alcohol =p and most important of all, being with her =D
We also made a trip to Kajang to hunt for food. Kajang is famous for its Satay. For those who have no idea what a Satay is, it resembles a kebab. A Satay consists of a thin stick with skewered meat and is eaten with a bowl of sauce. The sauce varies for each outlet and it is one of the main things that makes a good Satay.
