Why I offer Free delivery for SEA Taobao to my friends?

SEA Taobao has totally changed my life of shopping. I no longer spent hours and hours walking around in malls looking for things I can't find and neither do I go around looking for cheaper deals because all these can be done within a click.

This might be me in near future but who cares. (Image from Disney's Wall-E)

To me, shopping at Taobao is not just easy but also addictive and fun. I'm so obsessed with it till the point that I even shop for my friends who complains about not knowing how to set it up or read Chinese.

I mean I tried. 

Read other post related to how to shop at Taobao or What I usually buy.

A small disclaimer, I am not a Daigou or neither do I earn from this whole thing. Although Taobao is my sponsor I do not earn a single cent from helping them to get people to buy, neither do I mark up my friends' purchase nor do I charge them anything for delivery. (Sharing the shipping cost is one benefit for everyone!) Yes, FYI, I deliver to their doorsteps most of the time. 

SIAO AH? WHY? PETROL CHEAP AH? 

Not sure about you but I love Christmas. I love gifting and the look on their face when they get a gift. I can't be playing Santa Claus and do gifting everyday but giving people free delivery puts that (almost) same smile onto their face. That sense of happiness can't be replaced! And of course when these guys appreciates your help, it makes you feel good! 

Toys - Checked! 

Jersey - Checked! 

Laptop Stickers - Checked! 

Books - Checked! 

Soft Toys - Checked! 

Costumes - Checked! 

Of course, I don't just randomly help people to buy things even when I've nothing to buy and who am I kidding... Nothing to buy on Taobao? There is always something for everyone! So after awhile, you will get people tagging you in every other Taobao post. HAHA. 

So I guess I'm just kaypo like that and for those who are wondering what's in for me. Making you guys happy makes me happy! So have you "Taobao-ed" today? 

Mr.Smitha Claus is coming to town!

Random Quote Generator.

I don't know what you've heard about me. Some call me "sex blogger", "Humsup man", "that social media guy" and my wife likes to call me "top brogger" just to diss me but the truth is I am Iron man just a massive troll online.

I am not not trolling anyone with this post.  #TrueStory

I'm lucky I've earned a small voice of my own on the social web after a short period of stumbling and rolling on the web. The reason why I troll is because of things that makes me unhappy and why it makes me unhappy is simply because I set standards for myself. I might not be the best but I always try my best. It's just like how rappers rap about things around them and I just blog about things around me.

Some people think that having a voice online or being a blogger means I slack a lot and all I do is try to look good while I keep getting freebies and sponsored items, have a happening life, rub shoulders with famous people and getting freebies (Did I said that already?). The fact is that I actually spend a lot of time sitting on the toilet bowl with my pants down because I'm full of shit I need to isolate myself from all the distraction online to think of new crappy articles so you can stumble upon thanks to our SEO ecosystem that rewards strategical choice of word over good writing style.  The fact is we kinda need to work for it! IT IS HARD WORD! 

Truth is (you probably have heard me ranting about this a million times) journalism is dead especially when it comes to blogging (in Singapore). Blogging is nothing but a popularity rat race for (most) bloggers and a not so strategically planned plan by lousy marketers who awkwardly insert products to weird choice of bloggers.  It's so bad that it doesn't matter what you say or what you do but sometimes just who you are. I'm not saying I'm famous and neither am I'm saying I'm popular or like how my wife put it, "top brogger" (btw, I hate this.) since I get all the benefits and attention I'm getting as a blogger. I'm just saying we can do better than what we are doing as individual, as a sphere and as an industry.

There are people with interesting stories that doesn't share and same time people with no good stories but over sharing. (who is to say who is good and who is not?) So how now brown cow?

I'm one that appreciates wittiness, creativity and originality in articles. And today I'm going to demonstrate these awesome qualities of mine in this challenge call the "random quote generator."

Simply adding 1980s photo shoot skill, 1990s poses with 2020s hipsters caption.  This is generally the recipe to become a successful brogger!! Trust me, I'm a rat.

Quotes From: one of the roll of toilet paper in my restroom

Don't look down when you are sad because happiness is just ahead of you.

Challenges are only meaningful if you challenge it, else it is just another problem you are running away from.

When you have a problem, always stop to think regardless of where you are.

Achieving a dream body is easy. Just have some nightmares. 

Tomorrow will always come no matter how bad today is, so stay positive and welcome tomorrow with open arms.

Always look up and you will look slimmer on camera and that is important. 

I really wanted to eat that fruit loop this morning but there was no milk in the fridge.

Lego Diablo 3

You know how brands like to cross each other to combine their fan base? Over the years we have brands like Marvel Vs Capcom, G.I.Joe vs Transformers or simply a mashup of brands like these.

And of course there's also on that rumoured to be happening really soon which is everyone's favourite hero that lives on 221B Baker Street - Sherlock Holmes. 

And with the latest Lego movie, we do know that multiple brand clashing into one Lego show ain't impossible. For the benefit of those who didn't watch The Lego Movie, they have a massive mashup of characters from DC, Harry Potter, TMNT, Starwars and even my favourite NBA - Shaq!

From www.bustle.com

So with Diablo 3 expansion ROS on the way, I started thinking ahead. What about a mash up of a game instead of just movies?

The battle against Diablo never stops!

And introducing the cast!  

Dumbledore the Wizard

Emmet the Barbarian

One of my favourite! WlydeStyle the Demon Hunter!

Lego Smith (That's Me!) as The Last Jedi! - #Shameless new class 

Random Japanese Ninja Old Man As The Monk! 

Comic Relief Team - Witch + Doctor = Witch Doctor! 

Benny The Spaceman as The new Reaper Of Soul Class - Crusader!! 

DIE DIABLO!! DIE! (But we secretly hope you don't so we have more instalment of this game.) 

You didn't ask me but...

Some people ask me why I love to play toys so much. Some people enjoy computer games, some people simply enjoy collecting the toys and put them in sealed box. As for me, I'm a little of a control freak. The reason why I like to play with toys is simply because you can create anything you want. The mashup, the storyline, the character development. It's just as good as making a movie of your own. Best part? The good don't always win in my stories. :)

Mr.Smith, CHEONG AHHHH!!!

OCBC Cycle Singapore - OCBC Crit Girls 2014

You know we always like to slam all the beauty pageant in Singapore like machiam* all our girl friends and friends are very pretty? The answer is NO. And that's also why they ain't part of such contest. Anyway, you can't blame us frankly, the only reason we slam is because we have higher expectation when it comes to beauty pageants, that is the only way that we can improve!

If you like this type of bastard comment post: Newsnation Epic Post 

Anyway that being said, nothing is going to stop anyone from creating any of these "talent" search and this year, OCBC cycle joins in the fun. F1 can have get a grip grid girl, Newpaper can have need a New Face and now introducing OCBC critical looking crit girls!! 

Apparently it seems like this contest is 100% based on ONLINE VOTING! We know what that means. It's going to be a popularity rat race, multiple events created to ask you vote, private messages, buying of likes and still we might end up with a not pretty my cup of tea kinda winner. 

*images from OCBC Cycle Facebook Page: (Vote count as of 5th Mar 0000hrs) 

376 Votes, I kinda like her "ang mo" feel but a little too young, or maybe I'm too old. :( 

2,509 Votes, hello 2,509 votes! Very "interesting" name but erm... I guess that's all. Should really have done something to the hair.

346 Votes, 170cm, I like her height and she gives me a lil a bit of a girl next door feel. And I hope people pronounce her name properly as René and not Rene, unless that's the case.  And side note, probably the only girl with a lil more boobs than the rest.  

382 Votes, reminds me of the cute and pretty Japanese host in Taiwan but just not cute and also not pretty. 

1,032 Votes, she actually looks pretty fresh and nice but her singlet is way too loose. You know what they say? Wear something loose, you are going to lose. Actually there's no "they", just me. 

2,167 Votes, WOAH CONFIDENCE WINS THE BATTLE. #Nuffsaid 

258 Votes, Kawaii looking Anime eyes and a foundation 2 tone lighter than everything after your neck. I'll blame the flash. 

2,110 Votes, she gives me the arty looking Laselle or TP design school kinda feel. Totally digging her look and those lips!. And yes, still too young for me. Mehhhh. 

648 Votes, Hello Janelle. (Obviously I'm running out of nice things to say.) 

259 Votes, oooh, lace. (Did that distract you enough from looking at her face? Thank me later.)

--------------------------

Personally, I always feel that joining such contest needs a lot of courage. It's like putting yourself on a public platform to get scrutinise. Am I being an asshole with some of the comments? Yes, that's exactly what I mean by public scrutiny and that takes a lot of courage and in fact I'm already very nice with my comments. If only you could read my pre backspaced version. No boobs? Fat? Ugly? Looks like Ah Lian and what not. 

I've many beauty pageant friends but to me they are only human and in fact they look better in person. Why? Because they know what dress fits them the best, what color make up fits them the best. Very often at such contest, they are being issued with things that doesn't look nice on them or even makeup that makes them looks a lil like...

So why are these girl still joining such contest? For fame? For money? For profile? For fun? For experience? Or maybe just because she accompanied her friend to join and got selected instead? Regardless of what their reason for joining is, I still give them my upmost respect because it's really not something I would join because yes, I can't take the fact that I will not win, I'm competitive this way. 

Girls, may the odds be ever in your favor

Mr.Smith, WAH CHIO BU!!! And oh ya, don't forget to vote! 

*Machiam = As if.

The Ultimate Wedding "Proposal".

God knows since when wedding proposal in Singapore has gotten more and more ridiculous. From flash mod to touching videos to what not. If you remember, I did my little proposal many years ago too. If you have forgotten, here it is to refresh your memory.



Anyway, years has passed and we are officially "married" in terms of law, we did a simple ROM to sign the paper so we can move into our HDB.

I mean although we have been staying together for more than a year and things are really happy (besides the part I need to do the house work) but in the eyes of the traditional family, we are not exactly official until we do the customary tea ceremony.

There are 8967851235123 reasons why I do not like wedding dinners but woman being woman Mrs.Smith still wants a wedding dinner (or some sort) so I am proposing something alternate for a change. 1 of the 8967851235123 reasons why I do not like wedding dinner is simply because I feel like me sitting at my table and eating and so are my guests makes the wedding so disconnected and it really ain't something I like. My friends probably spend only 3mins with me, 1 before and 2 during the table photo shoot. hur hur hur~

SO, I did this ultimate "proposal" to my wife on a powerpoint.

Up for auction. You may want to pre-order. 

So will my "client" say yes? Stay tuned!

P.S: this is how I will might dress if this proposal go through:

台客@KTV is very thematic right? 

Mr.Smith, YO AH YO 8 8 1 ah YO AH YO~
