I hate my assignment

We were allowed to choose and direct our own Final Year Projects so genius me chose to create a marketing plan for Taco Bell in Singapore. Not an easy task considering how little most Singaporeans know about the franchise. Doesn't really help that Taco Bell is reduced to a handful of outlets here either and most Singaporeans would probably pick McDonalds' (lol evil lol) or KFC over my beloved Americanised Mexican fast food.

Then again, the Taco Bells here have really small servings and they cost the same as a KFC meal, which fills and fattens you up more effectively. One thing good about eating Taco Bell though, it's always amusing to see the cashier's eyes widen in surprise whenever you order something from the Taco Bell menu instead of KFC's or Pizza Hut's.

Oh yeah, my assignment. I just want to say that it's bloody difficult to do an assignment where your research consists of reading a fast food restaurant's online menu at night when you feel really really hungry. Kind of like having a case of the munchies but without the drug use, of course. Stupid artificially-enhanced photos of burritos, quesadillas and tacos. Why must the mere mention of melted cheese make me smell it?

I should be getting some Taco Bell soon, hopefully this week. Stupid online menu, stupid assignment. Stupid visually-induced craving.

My band

Hello, I'm the vocalist for a band called The Cheekopeks and we play Indie/Ska/Punk/Surf/Psychadelic/Emo/Punk/Indie/Indie/Ska music. I can't sing but it's okay! I just pretend to mumble some words and maybe cry a little during emotional songs and I can jump around like an idiot hehe.

We draw inspiration from doodles on toilet walls and elephants mating on wildlife documentaries. We like to be all sad and stuff because we believe that emotions are the very things that fuel music and other creative activities. BUT DON'T CALL US EMO BECAUSE EMOS ARE FUNNY PEOPLE AND WE ARE SERIOUS MUSICIANS WHO DON'T LIKE EMOS BECAUSE RAGE AGAINST THE NORM RARRGHH.

Why The Cheekopeks? You may (probably not) ask. We have gone through tons of possible names but only this one conveyed what we're about. Here's a list of some other names that we've considered:

- Silver Tears Of Tommorow Falling Today
- Picture Memories
- Elephants Mating
- Silver Sorrowful Tears Of Tommorow's Youth Falling Solemnly Today With Much Grace And Sadness And Scars
- Silver! Tears, Of Tommorow
- Seven Days Of Tears
- A Movie's End Credits Where Everyone Is Credited Except For The Main Actor
- Elephants Silver Mating Tears Today Tommorow What?

As a band, we believe that every individual should not be ruled by corporations and be nothing more than walking advertisements for evil capitalists looking to fatten their wallets that millions of underpaid sweatshop workers have slogged countless hours for. GRRR, DOWN WITH CAPITALISM OI OI OI!



Fred Perry, Hang Ten, Nike and Hot Topic
LOLLOOLO IT'S OKAY, THESE ARE COOL BRANDS! It's okay to be hypocrites and betray your own self-beliefs for cool brands! LOL!

We have an album out already and it's called "Down with schol". We kinda mis-spelled the title and we had to correct the error by hand on all of the 7 album covers that we have printed. This is a concept album and it follows the adventure of a student through his daily school life where he must tackle difficult situations such as his stapler running out of clips and having to endure a long queue for the chicken rice stall. Also, he falls in love somewhere and cries. Whatever. Of course, we have a political song and it shows how extreme and wordly we are. Bush sux lol! Cos Green Day said so.

This is the tracklist:

1. Intro
2. Waking Up: The Neccessary Procedure Of Life
3. Modulate Back Bus Missed Oh!
4. Interlude
5. The Darkest Hours (Brackets Make Your Songs Look Deep)
6. Black Soy Sauce And Chilli
6. Math Is For Suckers
7. So Iz English
8. Abigail Tan Hok Gek (Love Of My Life)
9. Why She Ignore Me? :(
10. Slitting Wrists (Down, Not Across)
11. DOWN WITH USA YARRGH

Already, we have a pretty sizeable fanbase, here are some of the photos we have taken with the more privillged and lucky ones.

Our loyal fans!

HAHA WE LOVE OUR FANS THEY PRETEND TO BE SECURITY GUARDS

SOME OF THEM ARE SHY HOHOHO LOOK AT THE CAMERA YOU LOVABLE FUCKS!

So, that's it for this update, my precious Cheekopekoniantites! (That's what we call our fans, lol geddit?)

Lincoln's humongous head

I really like Prison Break's story and characters a lot but Lincoln Burrows' head is really really distracting. If I remember correctly, they had to use extra super wide angle lens just to fit his gigantic head into the frame.

Here's something that's related to the show, recognise this guy in the ad?

Yeah, it's him.

Also, this guy may have plans to escape a real prison as well, although it might help if the tattoos were less conspicuous. But really, I don't see him assembling a squad of helpers any time soon. At least not one that's as racially diverse as Prison Break's.
