Ben is a sheep and he discovers some interesting facts about his type of sheep… collectively, he is also part of sheep people. meaheaheahea~

At work, sheep people like the comfort of a crowd. They enjoy adding input and opinions but do not wish to take a lead position. Sheep will take a leadership role is asked, but generally prefer to be a part of the group. They do not seek positions of power or status as these things are not important to the Sheep.

Sheep people are sociable creatures, but they must really get to know you and the territory before engaging in any sort of committed situation. They are private and do not generally tell you everything there is to know about them until they have tested the waters and are sure they want to reveal themselves to you. Therefore, becoming a close friend of the Sheep is a taxing process and many do not have the patience to wait. Consequently, the Sheep has many acquaintances and few really good friends.

Likewise, sheep people do not like to be alone. Sheep will give themselves entirely to the right person and will do everything they can to maintain a stable, loving, happy relationship.

Although they seem fragile on the outside, inside Sheep people are quite healthy creatures. Happiness keeps the Sheep healthy. However, any sort of trouble or confrontation will send the Sheep’s stomach spinning, especially if it is due to a romantic problem. As happiness keeps the Sheep healthy, unhappiness makes him quite sick. That explains why sheep people wants to be happy all the time.

Sheep generally appear well-off. Notice the word generally; it does not apply to this particular sheep though. They love to spend money but do not find comfort or satisfaction in material things. You hardly find anything more branded than gifts from friends. They do have a knack with money though, which is well-suited for a person who spends money like the Sheep does. Sheep are always dressed to a T, looking well-groomed and well-dressed. Sadly, it does not apply to this poor sheep.

Other famous sheep people are Pamela Anderson, Bruce Willis, Nicole Kidman, Mel Gibson, Robert De Niro, Mick Jagger, etc. If you notice, all these famous sheeps have something extraordinary about them that you will remember. Pamela Anderson is famous for her breasts, Bruce Willis for his bald head, Nicole Kidman for her height and bony structure, Mel Gibson for his huge ego, Robert De Niro for his excellent acting skills, and Mick Jagger for his equally famous lips.

There you have what encompasses a nasty sheep like me. Bet you are wondering which part about me is memorable. I don’t think you can see it with layers of cloths. Hmph…

i love shopping at supermarkets… especially those really international ones… and this one… has special goods flown in from japan… of course you know that japan fruits are super expensive… i wonder if they are ever sold… but well… it’s good to take note of those prices…

Dsc00420 but you can’t help noticing funny tag lines to these food… what do you say about watermelons that cost more than your average sized pizza? and for that price… you get only a quadrant of the melon… with a sticker saying "RIPE FOR GOOD EATING"… faints…

wahhahahahhaa

look… i don’t mean to make you look silly… but watermelons are the most delicious fruits in the world… or at least those that i have tasted… do you eat those melon seeds? it’s supposed to be good for the earth… but you have to shit directly in the field… wahahahaha~~ hint hint to our army boys…

Dsc00428 talking about gender… boys or men …. beware of this… japan has a special remedy for wasted sperm… you know when you off load it somewhere… i can imagine the japanese toilet have a special wrapper that you can dispose it for recycle… for environmental reasons…. wahahhahah~… of course… this store obviously sells the end-products to the consumers… who is buying??? it does look like this product is popular… only some toufu are left!… is it so tasty and suckyoulent?

no no no… if that is hard to swallow… you can always drain it down with some water from heaven… but you are warned…. they are extremely expensive… unless you want to get the unprocessed ones straight from the sky… you can always consider opening your mouth when it rains… check out this bottled version… VIRGA… might be the sister brand of VIAGRA… for the record, ben is not horny when he wrote this entry…. wahahaha

Scallops Those are the biggest scallops i have ever put in my mouth. It is also the first time i ate raw scallops… and i must admit it is like eating chicken uncooked, if you know what i mean. but like all things japanese and raw… the uncooked food just melt once it reaches tongue… something i cannot quite understand… and the fishiness of these raw seafood disappear with soya sause and lots of wasabi…haha… and i have to confess… i’m a big wasabi fan… and i like to feel high from choking at too much wasabi in my mouth… sadist! wahaha… oh by the way… it’s SGD7 for that jumbo scallop sushi… it comes in a pair… the other is in gerald’s tummy. wahahahaha~ if you can image… this is takem from the top… and that is my thumb… quite big ya… you havent seen the thickness yet… i have to eat it in three portions… the big scallops is cut into half… spread open… and the rice is actually hidden by that big slap of meat… i dunno if you can make it out from here… but it’s under the middle portion… so this jumbo scallop sushi is HUGE! Scallops1 Well I have another view of the monster… oh u must be wondering where is this place. It is Itamae Sushi, Hong Kong … you can find one at Granville Road… exit at Tsim Sha Tsui MTR… it’s simply delicious… oh… if you are a salmon sushi fan… like me… you will be pleased to know… that is super thick and juicy at this restaurant… and the best thing is… it’s only HKD9… or SGD1.6 :) much better than sakae sushi in sg… and cheaper too. :)
