the entry that's all about 7

i think the tourism industry is out to screw us over. from time to time, they'd scour the vestiges of the land to give us their ever-changing 7 wonders.

as if we didn't have enough on our plate with the 7 wonders of the ancient world and the 7 wonders of the modern world, the organisation (yes, apparently there's an organisation) announced the new 7 wonders of the world.

can you figure out what these new wonders are?

i am beginning to suspect a cartel in covert operation, attempting to milk us of every dollar on ancient ruins and industrial marvels.

since i had time on my hands, i had concocted my very own accessible and inexpensive 7 wonders. they are, by no means, in order of preference.

1. underwear. 
it simply spells snug comfort,
and mishaps like the ben stiller brouhaha
in there's something about mary would be a thing of the past.
for those who oft experience skid marks,
try exercising usage of more TP,
or choose a tone of underwear suited to the color of your stool.

boxers?

or briefs?

2. sleeping pills (or other other pills, for that matter).
i have problems performing at night on the bed.
no, it has nothing to do with ED,
but more of anxiety-induced-sleep-problems.
therein lies stilnox for the quickfix. 
these round little pills are nuggets of joy.

3. sarah jessica parker.
lo and behold,
the sultry temptress of fashion,
last seen in sex and the city: the movie.
it's not that the likes of lindsay lohans and paris hiltons aren't good
(i am hearing fervent protests already),
but it's just that they weren't even there when SJP was on top of her game.

be it standing or lying, hats off to SJP for making every picture worth a million.

4. well i do it all the time,
but screening calls helps me veer off direct contact with said caller,
especially if said caller comes on the line all cheery
just because he/she's out to peddle a product for said caller's company.
kudos to caller id. 

5. uniforms,
and it's only just because i can spot a parking attendant a mile away.
what with their beige shirt, navy pants, straw hat and tudung
(wait, that last bit isn't part of the deal, is it?),
the presence of parking pontianaks,
with their little sleek black gizmo
(their version of iphones),
marks ominous fines for many.

6. toothpaste,
for a clean, minty breath.
when i met up with my friend last week,
i thought he had his teeth polished and whitened.
turns out he's been using pearl drops.
i am switching immediately.

7. ice cream. 
ben n jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough.
'nuff said.
