Cobra vs Winnie the Pooh

I still experience jetlag, even after 4 days arriving in Jakarta. My messed up sleeping hour includes sleep at 6pm and wake up at 11pm.

Usually during my owl time, I just read my book. But now, I was intrigued by a short news about a Cobra street-seller named Warung Zaini, located on Mangga Besar. It sells Cobra's product from fresh blood, Cobra soup to Abon Cobra ( I swear I'd rather starve than eat this).

The news showed pak Zaini cutting so-alive fresh black with yellow stripedCobra's head. Then he started to drip its blood to a glass. I have a big huge fear of snake, any snake, you name it. Even I'm so frightened with worm or eel. In addition, I'm so afraid of dripping blood. So it's a perfect combination of what I saw. Nothing compare to it, when we talk about scary scene.

I closed my face with my two palms. Only I heard the presenter telling us that the dripping blood or Cobra's products are so damn good for male erection. For example, you guys can only erect for 5 minutes, after drink it, you'll be able to erect for 10-15 minutes, or perhaps 20 minutes.

When I dared myself to look at the news again, all of sudden I opened my eyes and laughed. On a close-up scene, Pak Zaini dripped the blood to a Winnie the Pooh plastic glass. As a matter of fact, the Pooh huged Piglet. That glass is the same as my daughter's glass.

I saw the macho man wearing a leather black jacket drank the snake's blood. He looked strong and macho until I saw the glass he used to drink the so called bravery drink. Pooh!!!! And piglet!!!

I really want to go to Mangga Besar and donate couple of more appropriate glasses to Pak Zaini (and bring home his Pooh glasses for my daughter - not for her to drink from it, of course, at least for her to play with it).

Another obsession is, to teach Pak Zaini a little lesson about brand consistency.
Cobra = blood = man = strong = macho = leather jacket = black glass/white or red mug = OK!
Cobra= blood = man = strong = macho = ... = Pooh plastic glass = DISASTER!!!!!!!!!
