Sweet.
Yesterday me and vman prolly spent 15$ on playtime games at highpoint. The most addictive game there is the Pharoh game, where you drop 20c coins so it pushes the other 20c coins already below, hoping that some of them will fall off the platform and score you some tickets. Play time is such a waste of money, but so fun. its just gambling for the young children. the thrill only lasts for a few seconds, literally. and the machine could eat up so much of your money. the ticketing scheme makes it even more enticing, saving all your tickets for the plastic 'Made in China' novelty items you can buy from the $2 shop for less then $2.
After work today, i went to Foodstar with vman and his family. Ive learnt from my mistakes of the past. I must get a plate of dessert first because if i started with the mains, there wont be enough room in my tummy to try them. Another strategy is to not eat so much, this strategy is particularly difficult to follow since i am in an All You can Eat resturant and vman's mum paid a rip off $21.90 for me to eat. i wish i had brought take away containers everytime i came there, but i feel so guilty stealing the food. And another strategy for eating at all you can eat resturants, is to make enough room for at least 1 cup of jasmine tea at the end and DONT go back for more. Today i ended up eating 3 plates, im quite proud of myself. that works out to be $7 a plate. hrmm.. i reckon it could be cheaper at Ha Long in St. Albans.
Vman taught me how to fill up car tyres with air pressure at the servo. its quite simple really. insert the PSI number written on ur tyres into the digital air pressure machine (cover your ears the beeping sounds are piercingly high pitched) and remove the tiny black screw cap on ur tires. There is a little silver tab on the end of the air pressure hose, hold this down as u screw it onto the tyre tube thingo. this connects the hose to the hole in ur tyres so make sure you got the hose on right. u know you got it right when there is no hissing noise. the air pressure hose will automatically pump and BEEEP in its high pitched tone when ready. Remove the hose (beware of the loud hissing noise) and replace the black screw cap on the tyre hole.
Repeat for the other 3 tyres.
And your good to go.
Handy things to know for a car-clueless girl like me. i think this one would be easy to remember. vman also showed me how to replace a tyre. it was easy when i did it, but know i dont think i can remember.
I've been really into my Packaging homework lately. I'm talking to my mum about what poor people in Philippines use to package their food, hoping to know more about the 'natural' materials that can be safely used. i want to redesign the takeaway packaging of Mcdonalds. there is just so much waste that should be avoided or controlled. by packaing chips and burgers together instead of separetly, so much paper/cardboard can be saved from landfills. ive also thought that using 100% natural materials to package chips and burgers will reduce landfill space since packages will decompose and return back to nature. here are a few ways we can package food with 100% natural materials:
Orange Peels
Coconut Shells
