i came across this interesting email my sis sent me, and i have nothing to blog abt, so i decided to show this here. i was amazed by some of the creations actually. however some of them is unnecessary and kinda stupid. but i have to day that those ppl that invented them is still clever and creative. i rated them to my own opinion.
here are some of them:
1.

this invention is like totally unecessary! like although not having to use another plate is like a great idea cos i dun like washing plates, but like some cookies may not be suitable to put there lo, like those which cream, are u going to melt the cream or heat the cookie up with u hot coffee? haha. and if the drink is cold, wouldnt the surface above the cookies has water droplets since it has contact with the cooler air? and u letting ur cookie get wet. and also also, how to drink if u are using ur left hand? like, the cookies will drop out if u are holding the handle. lastly, are u going to eat that few cookies only?

description: BANANA GUARD - Protect Your Banana! Are you fed up with bringing bananas to work or school only to find them bruised and squashed? Banana Guard allows you to safely transport and storage individual bananas letting you enjoy perfect bananas anytime, anywhere.
i dun think any singaporeans bring their own fruits to sch. i think this is invented for the foreigners, like they bring their lunch box etc. wat if the banana is not as curvy as the container? lol. and why must u bring banana? like got no other fruits meh. like bring apple or pear that kind of thing, harder and hard to squash. or just buy the small bananas, den bring a few instead of one. i guess they dun sell small bananas there.

description: LOCK-CUP - Anti-Theft Coffee Cup. Are you tired of others stealing your coffee cup? Well now there's a solution. The Lock - Cup has a hole which prevents most people from using it. Only the owner of the cup can use his/hers shaped key to close the hole.
this is funny. u mean the ppl in the office like to steal ppl's cup? like wat for, not like it is damn ex to afford and also, why do u wan to use ppl's cup? like if they always nvr wash properly that kind of thing, u still wan use? and, how can they think of so many diff shaped key? and if used for a long time, wouldnt the hole part leak? den how are u going to use it. just keep them properly in ur own space. and whoever seen at ur place may just be that stealer, if they cant even afford a cheap mug.

description: PENGUIN TEA TIMER - Making tea, though easy to do, is also time consuming. Once you pour the hot water into the cup, you must patiently hover over it, waiting for the tea to steep. Well, the Penguin Tea Timer happily does the waiting for you. Place your tea cup under the beak and set it to the desired time. As you turn the timer dial, the beak lowers the tea into the hot water. When time is up, a bell sounds and the penguin automatically lifts his beak, removing the tea bag from the water.
this is useful leh. like not for ur own use, cos it means u are really lazy, but for like cafe etc. help them serve equal quality tea and not like some more bitter and some no taste.

It's a 6-in-1 remote so you can use it to control your TV, VCR, DVD player, satellite, cable and auxiliary A/V device. It even features glow-in-the-dark buttons, so you can easily find the remote in the dark.
this is good! cos my sis once put the remote in the refrigerator. and it is so easy to read the buttons. actually not like i m old or wat. haha. maybe for my parents in the future, like 20 yrs later. but if u drop it on the floor and injured it badly? den all the 6 electrical appliances cant be used? haha. and confirm will drop de. such a big one. i think holding it with only ur hand is like hard. unless ur hand is humongous.

description: LASER SCISSORS - Laser ScissorsCutting a straight line has never been easier. Just aim the pin-point laser and follow the line. The scissor blades are stainless steel and cut very clean with a micro serrated edge.
can be useful at times. but wat if u wan to cut a curve line? it will be irritating if the laser ray is still there. i think it can be switch off. and if u cut without any break in between den a perfect straight cut will be done. but if u stop for a while? den the laser line that appear will not be the original line. and if u slant a bit, den the laser line will be slant too and u will have a ugly paper.
