The day ® got added to Randy...

>anonymous
Whoever you are....so you want me to smile more often or not? To scare people or to look silly....that is the question.

>ns29
I'm not in my shirt because I want to show off my tan....
Anyway, yeah...can protect the girl from harm. But the thing is, I always end up scaring the girl 1st....

>stevelee
Hmm..yeah, i suppose you are right. No harm looking a bit scary...at least people will think twice if they want to stand near me in a crowded train!

>Kelly
Most of my old friends will probably describe me as "the gentle giant".......probably...maybe....anyway, the worst harm always comes from the guy who smile the sweetest.

>calvin
I actually wanted to do a botak cut!! But that hairdresser convince me otherwise...

>MayC
YEAH!! I'll be a bad boy....I'll be a BEAST!!....but I wonder if a beauty would come and dance with me. Hmm...better practice ballroom dancing from today...


*From now on, I think I'll answer comments in the comments box....start to see that it's pointless talking about the previous post. And that way, you can "shoot" me at more angles than before...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From this day on, I'll be spelling my name like this.... ®andy. ® here means I'm trademark-ed. You all will have to pay me royalty the next time you mention, write or even think of my name...wah ha ha ha.

But seriously no. Please, use my name at your disposal at any time. What I'm really trying to say is that I've got my own patent(copyrighted design) in Japan. Yes, you read it right, Randy...oops, excuse me....®andy managed to create something and registered it under Japan Patent Office.

See guys? I'm not all crap, jokes, nonsense, funny words, shitty phrase and laugh guy. Just like all of you, I have a brain that works(I know it's hard to believe this fact but please bear with it) and had manage to set up my own intellectual property here in Japan.

Well actually, I've got the patent about half a year ago. Don't know why I've never thought of blogging about it before until my mom mentioned it to me. Anyway, the story goes like this...

I attended a class on Intellectual Property about 2 years ago. One day, my lecturer mentioned that there was a Patent Competition going on and urged us to try....it was a class of 60+ students but only 3 guys(me and 2 jap guys) stood up to the challenge. The mighty 3 showed them all who had the biggest balls in the class....we proudly showed them that we don't really have the biggest balls... the title goes to another guy BUT our brains ARE bigger our balls so...no shame there. Anyway, it was a competition where we are required to design and create something...anything...then send it to the Japan Patent Office to be evaluated. The competition is nationwide and the selected ones will be registered for free. Now, please know that to register cost a lot of money....about ¥300000(RM9000++) and they paid for all the expenses.

And our creation?

A paper punch which can punch all the holes on a standard B5 or A4 size paper at one go. It is slim, light and can be carried inside your binder.

Now....this may look like a simple design...and it is simple....but we put in a lot of our thoughts in this. We had to show that this is a patent worthy design, and there's a lot more detailed pics explaining the design but....let's not bore us here.
Thinking up this design is hard but the paperwork is a real pain in the ass. Lucky for me I have 2 jap guys in my team so, they do most of the paper work. I'm fluent enough in Japanese... but as for writing stuff for patent? My Japanese isn't that good yet. But like I said...I have 2 jap guys to overcome my inability, and this is what you call teamwork!!

Finally, by summer last year, we got a letter and a certificate from Japan Patent Office saying that we're one of the 17 selected ones out of 241 entries.

The red box indicates my name written in Japanese characters.

Now....now I'll just have to wait for someone to be interested in my design so that they will buy the copyright and make me a rich ass mo**********

SO...as for marketing strategies....

I know that THIS monster of a face will not do me any good. Cancel face features...replace with...

See that cheeky smile that unmistakably makes me look like a pimp? Now that's a sure winner!!

heard of it already...

but hey your mom read your blog?

if so, why i never see any comment by her? hehe

Crabbed!! said...

She's still quite new to computer....and I don't think she knows about the "comments" button at the bottom.
And THANK GOD she doesn't know about the "comments" button or else she will leave some very embarrassing stuff for you to laugh at....

i agree with ns29. You really smile like ppl force u to smile. Try to think about pretty girls lar, then u will automatically smile with the best face! trust me! try it!

Crabbed!! said...

Hmm....I guess you are right. I was thinking about making money, not girls at that time. So, I guess you can say that girls are more important to me than money....

calvin said...

i'm not commenting on that patent thing, coz i have to type that "R" thingy if i were to mention your name every time =P

anyway, nods head in agreement with the rest about your smile. 8 shots is not bad already. at least you didn't need 80!

and take away that word verification thing la. kinda mendou everytime need to type those letters ler.

Crabbed!! said...

Yeah...the things I would do for my blog.

To be honest, this is the second time I've taken a pic of myself in my room....and although no one is watching, feels kinda embarrassing.

anyone else who feels the same way I do??

calvin said...

thank god the word verification thing is gone XD

you will find it normal when you self-camwhore more often. not to say that i do that all the time though =P
