hey! newsweek can be used to wrap fishes!

gee.. just received me copy of newsweek yet again... *~roll eyes

honestly feel so darn cheated by that bloody newsagent who came to ocs to promote his goods... and promise got whad free gifts like watch, swiss army knife.. and yeah.. the crowning jewel.. a glass chess set.. WOOO..

yeah rite...

now.. i have tons of rotting copies of newsweek stacked all around my already cluttered room, accompanied occasionally by the equally *interesting* Pioneer magazine(which i realised we are FORCED to subscribe to)...

itz not that newsweek is crap or what.. its a chockful of info.. but HONESTLY.. how could anyone pull himself through such boring crap?! i mean... itz as though the editors of the magazines graduated from writing articles from "Daily Investment Periodicals" or "Motor Mechanics Monthly" or something...

TIME is honestly much better, cos as my sister puts it, "TIME is more trashy...".. and itz true.. but it makes the articles much more interesting and even if the articles peeve you off or are surprisingly boring, there's always some gold to be found at the last few pages or @ the entertainment section... too bad the TIME representative came after the NEWSWEEK one..

and talking about the bloody cheapo gifts they gave... hello? at LEAST give something that LASTS? and doesn't like have chess pieces that get stuck onto the plastique glass board, leaving unsightly stains? or chess pieces that completely lose their felt bases once they are moved?

or just don't give anything and spend the money hiring better writers?!?

yeah..i think that's the best idea...=)

so there..
