Desperate Measures

Somehow or rather, i'm still in cairo due to some changes in the flight itinerary. I got till this saturday before i jet off, and what's better to do then try to score a bit more readership by humiliating myself (again!)

Attempt to humiliate my own self 02 : Admit to having very little brain cell.
I really should have paid more attention is class while i was in school. Back then I was just an average student. In fact, i was more like the gap filler between the high scorers and the drop out. I never did failed any subject or neither did i score with flying colours. I'm just average. I was more into doing my own thing than be bother with competing in the rat race to get to the top of the class. You can say i'm a bit self absorbing. And that same attitude have stuck on to me like a super glue even till now, blindfolding me from many MANY things happening around me. Perhaps my lack of interest in the eight o'clock news and my upmost dislike in reading anything that's 'news' in general, have something to do with it too. I'm just not a news person. Thus it explains why a certain mr big ben is questioning my shortage of brain cell in posting up this. I guess its true that after conquering the pyramid in egypt, chances of frolicking to the other six more wonders are pretty slim as most of them have vanish from planet earth long before i was born. However to prove him wrong, hihi, i did a bit of wikipedia and it turns out that i have actually achieved more than i bargain for.

Pyramid of Giza (Egypt), one of the 7th wonders of the ancient world

Citadel of Qaitbay (Alexandria), one of the 7th wonders of the ancient world. Its also known as the Lighthouse of Alexandria

Citadel of Cairo (Egypt), one of the 7th wonders of the medieval world

Catacombs of Kom el Shogafa (Alexandria), one of the 7th wonders of the medieval world

Hagia Sophia (Istanbul), one of the 7th wonders of the medieval world

Desperate Measures

Reason why my blog is getting shitty hits from day one must have something to do with the lack of content in it. The fact that i'm a boring person who live a rather boring life in a even more boring city doesn't help either. I guess i could write something provoking or at least slightly interesting for a change, but what exactly? I don't really have a passion for politics, its bores me to death. And having me writing my thoughts on it would be a disastrous experience for both me and you. Movie review, hmm, i adores highly unintelligent chick flicks and desperately boring art film, not your kind of hollywood blockbuster or oscar winning pieces. I'm afraid any review on those would lessen my readership even further. I thought of going down the emo trip and be philosophical about life but i haven't exactly live enough to actually preach about it. So the last straw, i guess, would be to humiliate myself publicly on the blog. Humiliation sells for some odd reason. The dirtier the dirt is, the better.

Attempt to humiliate my own self 01 : Being caught camwhoring in public!
This set of photos was taken awhile back went i was on shoot in shanghai. Being the unfabulous me, i don't get to be under the limelight very much, the closest i get to it is to be the framing/lighting stand-in. Its a position that is even worst than background extras. Its the lowest you can get. The pariah's of talents. Pardon my language. But its true. And once the opportunity is here to be right smack in front of the lens, i jump at it and classically become the camwhore that i subconsciously am. It is not wrong to be a camwhore, but being caught on film doing so is just tragic with a capital T!

Standby. Roll camera, and...

ACTION!!!

#01 : Do a Meg Ryan and let the pouty lips out!

#02 : Looking dreamily at the camera man and try to attract his attention.

#03 : But once he catches you, look down and pretend to be thinking hard.

#04 : Thinking hard like you're about to take a shit.

#05 : Here's my own rendition of the 'willy-being-caught-at-the-zipper' look.

#06 : It always works with boys, but don't forget to smile.

#07 : And if that doesn't work...

#08 : Try the 'i'll-shoot-you-down' look.

#09 : Or the classic act cute look! I'm an expert in it!

#10 : I can even do the 'acting-cute-innocently' look.

#11 : But nothing beats the 'peace sign at the eye' look. So lala!!

#12 : and CUT!! Huh?! But i want MORE!!
