Try saying that fast 10 times, bet you get your tongue twisted real good.  Well, I am ecstatic that the popular musical with the same title has finally come to the silver screen, and best yet, coming to Malaysia this Sept 22nd.  If you have missed the 70′s, then you must watch this movie.  It brings Abba (Angetha, Bjorn, Benny, Anni) to live with hits like Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, SOS, and much more.  Don’t know Abba, that’s alrite, you dont have to know them to love their music.  But you must have heard of Dancing Queen, it has been featured in countless movies, especially 70′s theme movies.  Unlike other great groups of past, Abba have been keeping a tight grip on their music, and they were even heavily involved in the musical productions, ensuring their music were not being diluted by other creatives.  I am counting the days till the premier on Sept 22nd.  It would be such a treat. 

Not sure why, of late, the word Fuck seams to be so cool.  It was first triggered by the two movies I watched, Superbad and Forgetting Sarah Marshal.  Maybe it was the way it was said, the vulgarity seams non-existence and it sounds just like a fad word.  Maybe, it was not so much of the word, but more of the expression of the emotions within, and the word are just an illustrations of the feeling of the moment.  This has to be it, as lately, there are so much bullshit in the country’s political arena that built up the frustration.  And Fuck is just the right word to vent the frustration.  As much as I love to use the word, it does seams vulgar and not many can accept it, especially if you need to maintain  your professionalism in the office.  The whole persona where you want to express, and yet, can’t, makes it more repressive and I guess, this is why Fuck is so cool. 

My little housemaid has finally arrived.  We named it, Bolo.  Its an amazing little thing.  Out of the box, I pulled a yellow tag to activate the battery, and  ‘tuutiluu’ Bolo greeted me to life .  I set it to charge and within a couple of hours, the little thing were set to go.  I set it to do it’s duties every morning at 9am, so that we wouldn’t be bothered by the vacuuming noise. Today was it’s first day, and boy, the floors are spanking shining.  Unfortunately, first day at work didn’t go all too well for Bolo.  It picked up of my pants behind the drawers and got stuck.  Fortunate enough for me, he was almost done, except for some corners.  The great thing about Bolo, the iRobot Roomba 560 is that it does all the work it suppose to.  And the disappointing thing is that it aint that perfect. It knocked down our ironing board and got stuck on the toilet rug.  It works well with carpet as the weight of the carpet allows it to free itself, but a light toilet rug, just follows it where ever it go.  The funny thing about the entire package is that the charging or docking bay is black, while the charger or power adapter is white in color.  The Roomba 560 comes with two ‘light house’, two little transceiver that tells the little thing where the room divide.  This is so that it can finish the first room before moving to the second room.  Else, it will just go where ever it wants.  I didn’t really mind so I just let the little thing rip.  The two little light out also was not in matching color.  the entire module felt like a lego set, with each items having its own color scheme.  It would be nice if the colors are in sync.  Will let it roomba tomorrow morning at 9am again and see if it can get those spots…

Every once in a while, you walk up a coffee shop and the person standing behind the counter look at you like she wants to eat you up, with no smile, no friendly voice, instead, shouting on top of her lungs “How can I help you today!”, almost picking a fight.  That’s the coffee bitch.   The coffee bitch is not one specific person, but a species of bitches who serves coffee.  I just wonder if they spit into the coffee or food to make their day.  In Malaysia, Coffee Bean, which I patron almost every weekend has the most of these bitches.  They are scattered all over Malaysia.  If not for their breakfast and royalty program, I would have ban this franchise long before.  Even when I help to clear the table when I was done, I was greeted with a ‘Oi!, Just Pass to Someone Can Already!’, like what the fuck, a thank you would be nice. 

On the other extreme, I have never encounter such coffee bitches at Starbucks.  I patron Starbucks in every city I visit and always, never fail, greeted with a smile, friendly voice and always made to feel like home.  I’ve read “How Starbucks Saved my Life” by Michael Gates Gill and finally understood why there’s a smile at the back of every Starbucks counter.  It’s their culture.  Now, why can’t coffee bean be more like them.  Then again, if coffee bean would embrace such cultures, then coffee bean wouldn’t be coffee bean today.  At the end of the day, these coffee bitches are human after all, and thanks to Coffee Bean, they have a job.  If there were no coffee bean in the world, and only Starbucks, these coffee bitches would have been discriminated, or worst being forced into doing someone that they are not.  So, the next time, I encounter these Coffee Bitches, I would just smile, and glad that these bitches are working in the coffee shop and not in my company which I have to deal with more often than visiting the coffee shop.  Maybe they will smile back and dont spit into my food.
