Marshall's HOME!

 Smithankyou     11/23/2011 01:24:00 PM     cats, marshall, Ted, thankyou     3 comments   
First of all I would like to thank everyone who helped in many ways. From spreading the missing poster, RT-ing my post, sponsoring rewards, calling me and telling me that they will come over to help me find him(And Keong who actually drove down in the middle of the night to be a search party), strangers who called me and help me spot for Marshall,SMSing/Twitting/Whatsapp/facebook/Private Message me and giving me support that he will be home and even those who got all worried with me. I have no idea how to thank each individual one bye one so I just want to say thank you again and again!

Melpig's creation - CASE CLOSE!
How It Happened?:

It's 3 plus am and he came home meowing at my main door. Open the door and he just jump right back in. The family was all cheering!

How Is He?:

He looks too clean to have had ran around the neighbourhood. He doesn't smell and he doesn't even have dirty feet. He was just very hungry and thirsty. Even his voice sounded a little weird.  We suspect someone just took him in for a few days but did not feed him but we will never know the truth.

How did Ted React?:


Ted was like, OMGWTFBBQ! Tell me about your adventure! And then it was...




I am so glad they are back and all love again!!

Mr.Smith, it's like a 5 days of nightmare and boy am i glad it's over.

Horse Racing Like A Boss!

 Smithankyou     11/23/2011 12:16:00 PM     event, GPGT, hot girl, Turf Club     No comments   
If you ain't very convinced about how I party with the girls after reading the previous post during the crocs event, guys I am going to show off again and this is how I attend horse racing events.

LIKE A BOSS!
Fine! I am a show off but comon dude. Would you not? From left to right we have Karen, Nira, Irene, Regina, Irene(another), Clara and Jessie! WADDUP ABOUT THAT MAN! I'm a little sad we do not have Eunice and Pearlin in the house! 

Anyway this picture is taken from Irene's facebook and it's taken during the Longines events at Singapore Turf Club. We were suppose to be able to meet Aaron Kwok but I guess the rain scare him away but we still had a great time eating, drinking and watching the races.

And I bump into old friend James and new friend Leo! Both so handsome!

Sista Irene and Clara!
Both Irene and Clara was part of the best dress. Oh! And James too! Although they didn't win they still had fun!

Being naughty as usual. "blowing" Moonberry's feather. And we have Jonathan Leong! (Not SG Idol) 

 I really love these events at the turf club as their event area looks really grand and clean and of course they treat you like a boss! I think it's quite a cool place to hold a wedding you know? And yes, I really love the girls that was there with me too! HAHA!

Mr.Smith, HEEEHAR~~~

Will you strip for good cost and good cause?

 Smithankyou     11/21/2011 10:22:00 AM     PETA, sponsored post, strip, waxing     No comments   
One of the most interesting things that happened to me being one of the very few male bloggers around is the post that I posted about "My 1st boyzillian Experience" which happened last May.

The interesting part about it ain't cause now the world knows I'm "naked" but the funny part is actually how the ladies are actually curious about how it was done. Although it has been more than a year but some female bloggers who I'm closer to still ask me about it. 

Some of the "FAQ" I get from the ladies. 

- How was it done?
- So how they "man handle" your "koff koff"?
- Is it a guy who did it or a lady?
- Did you get a hard on? 
- Is it painful? 
- Does it really look longer after that?
- Do you think my hubby/bf will do it for me? 

I don't know about some man cause some man just think it's very manly about having hair down there but to me I think it's just fugly. 

And this time round, on top of giving you a chance to look good(and her to feel good #TrueStory), we are also giving you a chance to do someone something good! 




PETA promotion - $40 for a Brazilian wax (U.P. $58) with 
$1 going toward PETA will go on till 31 Dec, so please help in sharing this
good cause :)

You guys have no idea who the PETA are? You gotta be kidding me!


Are you guys ready to bare it all?

Mr.Smith, this is one thing a "close shave" can't beat.

Did you guys notice this ad on TODAY ?

That's not all, on the ride you will be serve with high quality chocolate and champagne. This trip will be around 45mins to an hour and there will be entertainment from the show host too!

Good news about this event that it's going to be super fun and awesome but the bad news is that we have limited tickets so while stock last !! Go spend money NOW !

Project 365 : Garbage At Large. #GAL

 Smithankyou     11/16/2011 11:02:00 AM     GAL, GPGT, Project365, Shame     No comments   
So we always talk about how clean Singapore is and how people like our country. No doubt that Singapore is MUCH cleaner than many other countries especially when compared to our neighbors. Then again, low crime doesn't means no crime and that goes the same for garbage.

What am I complaining about this time round? Garbage, literally garbage. So few days ago I twitted this.



How bad are the garbage ? Check this out.

Very Neat Hor?
Very neatly arranged garbage isn't it? Seriously? The trash bin is just beside and they do it everyday and do not want to throw the trash in. Maybe for this time round there are some bulky items but what about the bags of smaller rubbish?

And my tweet got @YamKeng 's attention since he is one of Tampines's MP as well as on twitter.



It's a tweetdeck thing so please read from bottom up.

So like what I was saying over twitter to @YamKeng is that I have tried talking to some of my neighbors but they just agree that they shouldn't be doing this. Like if everyone agrees who is the one doing it? I can't just jump into conclusion that it is those that I did not talk to right? 

I have no idea where @YamKeng is coming from when he question did the town council clear my trash. Cause to me, it's not about if we are just using the Singapore Solution*  but it is more like finding a solution for Singapore. Singaporean are just about "not getting fined" cause that is like how are have been trained. Indulge in fear. Of course I am not saying that we should give award to people who throw trash into the bin since from the start it should be your duty to keep the environment clear for this is your home. 

@YamKeng is right, it takes a lot of education to educate all these people especially when a lot of our domestic helpers are not local and they are very likely to be the one clearing the trash. Do not get me wrong, I am not pointing my fingers at them and saying that it's all done by them. 

So to take things into my hold hand, I am doing a Project 365 and uploading pictures of all these shameless people and their rubbish throwing artwork onto my facebook and blog. 

Entry #1 : 16th November 2011 

See! They are already at the bin area and they still just throw it all over the place ! 

Do your place have the same issue? If yes and you wish to get featured, please send your entry to Smithleong@gmail.com ! 

Mr.Smith, Name and Shame !  

*Singapore Solution, it's from a joke i heard from my friend saying that the American Solution is by using money. "Whatever problem that money can solve is not too big a problem." That is cause they have money(back than, this is a old joke.) So in Singapore we have "Whatever problem that bangalah can solve is not too big a problem". Basically it's an expression full of satire saying that we always solve all our problems by using FTs.

Row, Row, Row your boat ~

 Smithankyou     11/13/2011 09:46:00 AM     crocs, event, GPGT, hot girl     No comments   
What is the most important thing to bring along on a boat trip? Water? Compass? Snacks? A good pair of shoes? WRONG ~~ The answer is HOT GIRLS !!

Hey guys, don't be jealous okay? Fat boys has got hot girls ! This was made possible thanks to Crocs. Crocs got this boat sailed to Sunny island all the way from Hong Kong. Since they made the effort to bring the boat in I shall be nice and bring in the girls.

Day 1 - Beatrice, Cherie, Selene, Holly and her friend.
Sorry, I am only talking about the ladies. :x It's actually my first time meeting Selene but she is already like such a familiar face to me thanks to all the featured on Bea's blog. HAHA.

Day 2 - Christine, Silver, Mint and the 2/3 of the Cambelles.
Yes, it's day 2 and I am still not talking about the guy ! : p. I was there for both the days cause I am a "part time" crew for this event and my job is to entertain the girls. And if you are asking what do I mean by 2/3 of the cambelles it's because this blog is run by this 3 girls and they are actually very poorthing cause they actually need to share a blog address. :x

Anyway, for the event we were each given a pair of shoes and it's obviously a long long long wait cause the ladies simply spent too long to choose their shoes cause there were simply too many designs to choose from !

Check out the video done by beatrice :



And the pair of shoes that I've gotten for myself ?

Hip Hop Yo ! 
This pair of crocs might look like just another pair of school shoes but it's actually very light and much more durable although it is not water proof like most of the other designs. See, even Marshall likes the shoes too !

I really enjoyed the trip and of course the shoes !

Mr.Smith, Everyday I'm shuffling (in crocs).

Sesasmith St : Sold Out Vs Sell Out

 Smithankyou     10/29/2011 11:23:00 AM     bloggers, Educational, social media     No comments   
Hello Boys and Girls ! Welcome to SesaSmith St once  again !

On today's episode, I'm going to teach you two very interesting terms. Although the very first word of these two terms are basically same word in different tenses but their meaning is actually way different. Sold Out Vs Sell Out.

SOLD OUT : 


iPhone 3GS 
 This is SOLD OUT. There could be a few reasons why this is sold out.

1. This is an exclusive product.
2. This product is really awesome and thus everybody wants it.
3. This product is really worth the price.
4. This product has gone through a good marketing segment and found it's positioning and everyone in that subculture loves it and got it.

Generally in Singapore's term we call it "Sorli, No Stock !"


SELL OUT : 



Picture from unknown source, texts are edited.
This is SELL OUT. There could be a few reasons why this is SELL OUT.

1. Because he/she is poor and jobless and needs to get freebies.
2. Because he/she needs the attention and trying to be famous.
3. This person is not worth any price and getting freebie is all he could get.
4. He/she totally has no positioning and he does like almost everything and is seen everywhere.
5. He/she has no clue.

Generally in Singapore's term we call it " Giam Peng Giam Sai."

This is actually a classic example of how some celebrities loses their market shares in doing endorsement. Like my marketing lecturer once pointed out about Brad Pitt endorsing both Edwin Jeans and Levi's Jeans. (Although it's different year) This gives consumer a mix feeling cause they will feel that the pair of jeans are the same but are the two brand the same? Are they selling the same brand image? Do they even want to be associated with other brands that Brad Pitt was endorsing? Brand image is very important and so is personnel branding, some of the other products he endorsed includes Honda integra, Jewelry, Coffee, Heineken Beer, Tag Heuer and even Evance Rolex. Does all this brands share the same brand image? No doubt he is a face, he is popular but is that what a real marketer wants and "is there no one else ?" 




I just have to do this. Brad Pitt in "Troy"


Same thing for a blogger if you ask me. Should a single blogger be talking about everything under the sun? Every single brand even where it does not tell people about you? Should it be a marketer's job to make sure they endorse the right blogger or should it be a bloggers job to say no to brand that does not speak their personel image? 


Words to the marketers : Choose your bloggers wisely if you want your product to be sold out.


Words to bloggers : Choose your products wisely and don't be a sell out and hard sell every single thing. You might think you are helping the product but you are actually doing more harm than help. 


Mr.Smith, always sharing but never shared out.  


P.S : All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
