Joke

3 elderly lady gathered for dinner. they were comparing about their respective husband's impotence. the first lady said, "my husband is 80% impotent."

the second lady said, "that's nothing. my husband is 100% impotent."

the last lady, not to be outdone, said, "well... my husband is 200% impotent."

the first 2 ladies were surprised. they asked, "but how is that possible?"

the last lady replied, "well... last night at dinner, he drank some very hot soup and burnt his tongue."

Hypothetical conversation

random person: i have a chronic illness, can you insure me?

insurance agent: i'm sorry, we can't. it'll be too expensive, too risky. with your medical record, you might not live that long. however, would you like to get an annuity?

random person: :'(

Thanks. :)

especially to all my friends who remembered.

i had wanted to write more. but... today has been long, tiring and trying.

perhaps will write more later. but later would probably mean after the weekend, considering this weekend is chalk full of (work related) stuff already. ah well...

Disturbed Suburbia

Disturbia.

quite a good psychological thriller. no ultimate twist in the plot, but does play on your mind throughout the show (is it? can it be? no... eh wait... erm... oh shit... argh...).

there are occassional nail-biting moments (in some instances, for some people i know... more than just nails were bitten... grr...) too. it is somewhat balanced with humorous scenes. production could be better (could see the mike floating in mid-air in some scenes).

overall... an alright show to watch.

Your Children will LOVE you...

if you call them:
碧英 or 诗婷.

until they go to UK or US or anywhere with majority ang mohs and they try to introduce themselves.

imagine... in a crowded place (like the hall bar during Freshers' week) the poor girl is trying to introduce herself:
"Hi! I'm Biying!"

ang moh goes:
"What? Now?! The ladies is just down the corridor!"

of course, Shiting is far far worse. MS word might just auto correct her name to "Shitting".

well... i suppose if i have a pair of daughters... that's what i'll call them...

Biying (peeing) and Shiting (shitting).

:)

National Day...

spent in the company of good friends, great food, lots of alcohol.

nice.

:)

(will post pictures soon...)

National Day Songs

i can't stand the National Day that Kit Chan sang this year. it's so... elitist.

but i do like the one titled "Will you". i find the song meaningful. it challenges each of us to take responsibility for our nation rather than just saying "Gahmen should do...".

well... it's National Day. a long long weekend for me. :)

Another four liner...

our faded shadows,
all grey and hollow,
in time's footstep follow,
into misery they wallow

Card

of all the cards that i've received (not that there have been many... but enough), that one is still the most special one. i just re-read it.

it was all i could do to hold back the tears.

Goodbye.

Oct 1999.

Shallow? Me?

part of a MSN conversation
sh: i'm like so shallow

me: well... at least you do not have gullies with sludge flowing through them carved into your soul. (that would be me by the way...)

Something random...

about seasons:

Summer's blood,
Autumn's flood.
Winter's tear,
Springtime's near.
