the TRANSFORMATION...

After some relief from that awful "snack" she just had, she continued with her gardening. Moments later, Kate started to feel a tingling sensation in her temples.

"Probably getting a headache", she thought.

Just when she gently touched her temples, she started hearing voices.

"I need water! Water!", one husky voice went.

"The sun's too bright!", another exclaimed.

"Who's there?!", Kate shouted. Lowering her hands from her temples. The voices stopped.

Still feeling the tingling sensation in her temples, Kate cautiously touched her temples with her fingers again.

"ARGH! I have a butterfly on me!", she heard a voice go. But no one was around her.

Turning her attention towards her plants, she saw a pretty butterfly on her orchids.

Her jaw dropped. Kate can listen to plants.

"GOSH! I wonder if they can understand me...", she thought.

"Of course we can!!", the plants boomed.

Correction. Kate has telepathy powers with plants.

Days went by, and slowly but surely, Kate's powers were showing. Not only could she talk to plants, but once, she tried planting some seeds. Every seed she planted, after being covered with soil, just shot up from the ground into a fully grown plant. She had the power to grow plants... fast!

Kate could also flutter like a butterfly. Small but powerful leaves emerged from her back and she started to learn how to fly. Of course, the leaves can now be controlled and she can hide or reveal them whenever she wants.

Little did Kate know that the caterpillar she ate was indeed no ordinary caterpillar. This caterpillar has traveled the ends of the earth and gobbled almost every type of plant leaf ever known to man. The leaves in the caterpillar stayed there in its stomach, and the mix was a powerful concoction... similar to that of a magic potion. That's what gave Kate her powers.

Tips to a Successful Blog Shop

Recently, or maybe not that recent, I've noticed that there has been an influx of blogshops. For the unsure, blogshops are just like any other shop, selling just about anything, just that it is set up online. Being an avid shopper, as well as one who spends time on the internet often, I have seen myself succumb to buying from blogshops. Many a time, my purchases are sweeeeet! I've not met any dead sellers or had any trouble with getting my items. But don't get me wrong... I still shop at retail shops. In fact, I love both :) Blog shops are fun to scroll through when I just don't have the time to step out (when exams are round the corner). Apart from being a buyer from online shops, I have also tried selling stuff by setting up my own blog shop. It didn't go so well though. Naturally, I prefer buying to selling stuff. Those who buy from blogshops, you may think that it is easy work, but it is a hell lot of work for the sellers. They have to choose the supplies from ...

Do you like Shark's Fin Soup?

There has always been talks about how fishermen leverage on the huge market for the consumption of sharks' fins and throw the dying shark back to the water after snipping off their fins, aka "live-finning". In JC, I've even watched a documentary endorsed by our very own Stephanie Sun (Sun Yan Zi) about the harm that this is causing on those sharks and other marine life. All these news left me a bit apprehensive and I even swore to lay off shark's fin. However, a few years ago, I remember hearing from my mum, after she had read an article on the Straits Times that we can eat shark's fin without guilt . An excerpt below: However, these sensational pictures obscure the fact that many within the industry are against such practices. The vast majority of fins in the market are taken from sharks after their death. This is the preliminary finding of a review made with the assistance of shark experts, fishermen, captains of big fishi...

Localization of Advertisements

We all know that localization is important. Because it will be more relevant to the people looking at the ad. You can even see that from online marketing. For example, I signed up for Yahoo! email using yahoo.com instead of yahoo.com.sg, just because I thought the "sg" didn't look as cool. However, the ads that I got were all related to the US, which I learnt how to ignore in time. The good news it: recently, I was given the choice to change the ads to Singapore based ones, which were definitely better and more interesting. We've also seen the localization of musicals, which I have written about in another blog. The example was a personal experience of mine while watching the musical "We Will Rock You", where parts of the actors' scripts were changed to suit the Singapore culture. Evidence of localization in "We will Rock You" - adapted from pegpeg.wordpress.com 1. When the lead “accidentally” knocked into one of the audience down stage, he sa...
