Absence

Hey all, no drawings has appeared for awhile now simply because my mouse finally became so vexed that I just cant rely on it for drawing anything anymore. Then again, I know I could have gone out to get a new one but I'm lazy. So drawings will resume when I get a new mouse. I have a few 'ideas' for new drawings and I just hope I dont forget them.

Anyways, since I have no drawings to share, I'll share a story instead.

Just two days ago, I watched Zoolander. Zoolander was banned in Malaysia because the plot revolves around people from the fashion industry plotting to kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia and knowing how sensitive we are....yeah.

Anyways Ben Stiller plays a male model who is, as the tagline says, 3% body fat, 1% brain activity. There is this drink that particularly made him happy and that is 'Orange Mocha Frappucino' from Starbucks.

After reading the Trivia section from IMDb, apparently 'Orange Mocha Frappucino' is a drink that is served in Starbucks but it is not on the menu.

Interesting, I thought.

Yesterday I was so happen at Starbucks and I thought to myself, lets try this, and I asked:-

Girl: Hi, welcome to Sabux.
Jenhan: Yeah hi, I was wondering if you actually have an orange mocha frappucino?

All the sudden, the other guy at the back who was preparing drinks just stopped the machine, froze for a second and did, in a slow-motion, 180 degrees turn and faced me. He was bespectacled, wearing a Starbucks cap, an apron, had a typical Chinese "short hair ahh" cut.

Guy: Sir.....Mocha Valencia was a promotional drink.
Jenhan: Uhhh, okay?
Guy:.....four years ago.

There was a girl who was in front of me in the queue who had already made her way to the delivery section of the counter. She also suddenly turn towards me and gave me a weird stare.

Why? Am I suppose to know this? The cashier girl, the informative guy, and the waiting-for-drink girl all made it seem as though I had just emerged from under a rock after 4 years. Like I was lost in time.

Anyways, here was the conversation in my head:-

Jenhan's mind: Okay. Mocha Valencia. Am I supposed to be shock as well because 'orange mocha frappucino' had a name?
Jenhan's other mind: No wait. I think I am more shocked as to how this guy knows what its called and when was it out. Dude.......have you been here 4 years?!

Long story, not so short... I left with a Dark Berry Mocha Frappucino and it was yummy.

So anyone who is nice enough to buy me one, I will jizz in my pants.

Okay, I have no drawing but I have this to share. My Emo Campaign poster in styles of Obama's Hope poster. I used a laptop's touch pad for this. I really have no mouse right now. Stop doubting me!
