The Good, The Bad, The Ugly...Smells!

Don't you love smells....like farts from your obnoxious colleague/brother or like the smell of BO in the office, especially in Singapore! Of course there are good ones too, like KFC (personal preferences apply)

The smell of kfc. Over here, they deliver it right to your door, but the minimum order is $10...so i was forced to order a 6 piece meal while my parents and sister were out to watch hairy potato (no way am i putting myself through that). It always smells great when the delivery guy passes it to you, but by the end of the 3rd piece, it starts smelling a bit jerlak...by the 5th piece, it smelt horrible....couldn't bring myself to eat the 6th and final piece in my order...sighh...gluttony!

Another controversial smell is paint, some people like it (ok, maybe thinner) others hate it. Too bad i got a can of water based paint, it smells like a mix of playdough and rancid potatoes. Anyway, the reason why i have that in the house is cos some of the movers badly scratched one of the wooden doors at home. The bastards are just plain substandard. Had to bloody bring a hinge from the door to a hardware shop and get them to do a computer based colour matching thing. like maybe 100ml of paint would have been more than enough but because i had to get it computer matched, the minimum i could get was a gallon! a friggin gallon is like....heaps!! haha...used less than 1% of it, and that was after i decided to paint the WHOLE door!

Out for baddie today and first thing i smell out of the door...DOGSHIT!! I've had my rant about that before (check out the entry on Sunday, May 16, 2004) but it never ceases to amaze me why there hasn't been a bigger crackdown on irresponsible owners leaving gao sai behind. Don't believe that Kate and Leopold thing where the fat cop tells the misplaced prince to pick up the shat or risk a fine.

Anyway, finally made it to baddie without anymore drama. First smell there, deep heat! hahaha...there is this indian guy that ALWAYS puts heaps of that stuff...smells the whole hall up...i could be mean and suggest he applies that stuff to hide body odour but that wouldn't be fair. For some people, they think all Indians smell bad. Either cos of BO or that oil they put, but that isn't true i reckon.

Had a doubles game with this really cute chick...and she was wearing Davidoff Cool Water! Golly...assailed by memories! haha...i even remarked to her that i could smell the Cool Water and thought it was great. All i got was a curt nod! BITCH! hahah...think it had something to do with her bf looking on from the side of the court. *shrug* Think almost all the girls i have liked or had crushes on before have used Chanel Allure or Davidoff Coolwater. Anyway, the scent reminded me of someone whom i almost went out with, but circumstances dictated otherwise.

Back home and another smell....this one all good! Mother's cooking. Nuff said.

*cue* maggie seasoning or sara lee jingle...
