Me talk pretty everyday

As if it is the first time

2007-04-26T16:12:00.000+08:00

Took this from the website of my favourite writer - Paulo Coelho's Warrior of Lights. (No.145) (http://www.warriorofthelight.com) and probably the last entry in this blog.

Yes, I am going out to discover my 'first time' again. Cheers

*******

I would like to believe that I am going to look on this new year as if it were the first time that 365 days have unfolded before my eyes. To see the people around me with surprise and amazement, happy to discover that they are by my side and sharing something so often mentioned and so seldom understood, called love.

I shall climb on the first bus that comes along without asking where it is going to and I shall get off as soon as I see something that catches my attention. I shall pass by a beggar who asks me for some spare change. Maybe I’ll give him something, maybe I’ll think that he will spend it on drink and just walk past – hearing his insults and understanding that that is the way he has to communicate with me. I shall pass by someone who is trying to wreck a telephone booth. Maybe I’ll try to stop them, maybe I’ll understand that they are doing that because there is nobody to talk to on the other side of the line and that is their way of chasing off loneliness.

On each of these 365 days I shall look at everything and everybody as if it were the first time – especially the small things that I am not used to and whose magic I have forgotten. The keys of my computer, for example, that move with an energy that I fail to understand. The paper that appears on the screen and for a long time has not been revealed in a physical manner, although I believe that I am writing on a white sheet where it is easy to make corrections by pressing a key. At the side of the computer monitor are some papers that I do not have the patience to put in order, but if I feel that they are hiding something new, than all these letters, memoranda, newspaper cuttings and receipts will gain a life of their own and will have odd stories of the past and the future to tell me. So many things in the world, so many paths trodden, so many entrances and exits in my life.

I am going to put on a shirt that I wear a lot and for the first time I shall pay attention to the label and the way it was sewn, and I am going to imagine the hands that designed it and the machines that changed this design into something material and visible.

And even the things that I am used to – such as my bow and arrows, the breakfast coffee mug, the boots that have become an extension of my feet after wearing them so much – will be coated in the mystery of discovery. Let everything that my hand touches, my eyes see and my mouth taste be different now, although they been the same for many a year. In that way they will no longer be still-lifes and start to convey the secret of having been with me for such a long time, and they will show me the miracle of coming into touch again with emotions already worn down by routine.

I want to look at the sun for the first time, if the sun comes out tomorrow, or at cloudy weather, if tomorrow is overcast. Above my head there is a sky for which all of humanity - over thousands of years of observation - has given a series of reasonable explanations. Well, I shall forget everything I have ever learned about the stars, and they will once more turn into angels, or children, or anything else that I feel like believing in at the moment.

Time and life have changed everything into something perfectly understandable – and I need mystery, the thunder that is the voice of an angry god rather than just a simple electric discharge that sets off vibrations in the atmosphere. I want to fill my life again with fantasy, because an angry god is far more curious, frightening and interesting than a phenomenon of physics.

And finally, let me look at myself on each of these 365 days as if it were the first time that I was in contact with my body and my soul. Let me look at this person who walks, feels and talks like any other, let me feel surprised at his most simple gestures, like chatting to the mailman, opening his correspondence, contemplating his wife sleeping at his side, wondering what she is dreaming about.

And so I shall remain what I am and what I like to be, a constant surprise to myself. This I who was not created by my father or by my mother, nor by my school, but by all that I have lived so far - suddenly I forgot and am discovering it all over again.

It has been a while since I last blogged, I know I know....

Well, I guess like many bloggers, somehow you just move on with life, you left behind what you like to do during your spare time ~~at work~~ and plunge yourself right into where the actions are.

While I was not blogging, I have been

1. Busy with work. Well, my boss has been put me as a backup player for the purchasing and monitoring the incoming shipments, on top of all the other duties. Thus, my eyes has been glued to the stocklists, checking what we are lacking, and also ensuring all procedures are followed. Of all these, I hate 2 things the most, having to hear my bosses 'nag' about how the goods are slightly more expensive and also to have the goods here on time and properly distributed to our branches. It's stressful, I tell you.

2. Yeah, I mean going out with friends and hanging out and google at 'god's wonderful creation'. If you haven't check out some of the hot spots in town, you should. There is this place which we do pop into once every now and then. I tell you, sometimes it's pretty rauchy at the wee hours. Of course, at the wee hours, all I could think of was 'Are we home yet?' and hoping, we wont get any road blocks driving home. But, I enjoy my night out with my friends.

3. My friends has been trying to play match-match for me. There is this image consultant, then a massuer, a sales manager and a vet..

Moi: A vet?
Ami 1: Damn cute la. Definitely your type.
Moi: Alright but does this person smell like a horse?
Ami 1: No, only the smell of a cat.
Moi: tempting...

Well, I am cool about meeting more friends and I am as my friend put it, "in control of my situation", and most important, I am not desperate for a partner yet.

4. Puffy is doing good too. Of course, he has to be re-train as he is still getting use to the new house. He is still as adorable as always. I just send him for a haircut and now he looked good. Sometimes I imagine him a rabbit. Oh, I wish I can show you how he sit at the balcony watching some of the people walking at the garden. It's a sight to behold. (Perhaps a picture later)

5. I have been watching my weight lately and I am happy to say I am working toward my ideal weight. Yeah, I will do it right this time. Of course, er there is a company BBQ coming soon. Darn.... I heard, on the menu, there will be prawns, crabss and oysters... aiksssssss.

6. Kinda am broke lately too with the new house, and the partying. Not going to spend a lot on chinese new year, perhaps going to get a pair of new shoes which I have been eyeing since december. By the way, my friend did asked me if I want to buy a watch which he is thinking of disposing. I like the watch but I am tight on budget. So... next time la.

7. My travel plan is a bit up and down. Was supposed to go to Indonesia on a business trip but cancelled on the last minute. The trip to Germany will probably wont materialised since we will have a huge event in March here. The US trip is not confirmed as well, as the event has been moved and only selected players can take part in it. And the trip to Nepal, ahhhhhhhh will only be confirmed once I get to speak again to my uncle in April, perhaps.

8. I will be staying put in KL during the chinese festival season. I guess I will have a good rest.

OK.. that's all folks, for today.

What's your seduction style?

And still we sleep....

2007-01-04T14:31:00.000+08:00

I shall start my entry with a poem and the resolutions for 2007.

*****

We are dreaming of tomorrow and tomorrow isn't coming,
We are dreaming of a glory that we don't really want.
We are dreaming of a new day when the new day's here already.
We are running from the battle when it's one that must be fought."

And still we sleep.

We are listening for the calling but never really heeding,
Hoping for the future when the future's only plans.
Dreaming of the wisdom that we are dodging daily,
Praying for a savior when salvation's in our hands."

And still we sleep.

And still we dream.
And still we pray.
And still we fear.
And still we sleep.

Taken from http://www.peterweircave.com/dps/comparison.html

Resolutions

1. To control and tame myself and my temper.

2. To start moving with the career plan.

3. To find my 'nirvana' and be good.

Ultimately, to be happy in everything that I am doing.

5 days to ho ho ho

2006-12-20T11:44:00.000+08:00

1. We are officially getting the keys to the house today though there are still a few outstanding things which are not fixed. I think I have given enough notices to all parties and I shall start to do it my way and charge them for anything outstanding. I am also puking sometimes talking and explaining things to people. Yeah, I can be really impatient sometimes. So.. a point to note.

2. Work is progressing well but knowing the style my boss is working and planning, I know, a lot of things will only be plans for many years to come. We have this joke among us that if we work here for another 20 years, the best car we can drive would only be a Proton.

3. My plan for Penang is off since I will be busy with the new house. We are moving so that we dont have to pay another month of rent which can be used for the house instalments. Hmm A good thing in a way. I still have a lot of things not in place yet since I dont have time to really go searching for furnitures. I guess one thing at a time.

4. Yesterday, my colleague (THE bitch) had a fight with my lady boss. I am impressed with her courages to speak on top of her voice. I really dont know it was whose fault but in my humble opinion, NEVER raise your voice to the person who sign your paycheck! In the words of my 'mighty' boss all the time - THEY STILL HAVE NOT MANAGED TO KNOW THE SITUATION!

5. My friends and I are going to have some Xmas club hopping this saturday night. Yeah and I shall tell you about my googling experiences the next time. Like real like that.

6. I am greatly indebt with a friend of mine who has been helping me a lot over the last few months. He recommended me some contractors and I got good prices for their jobs. He brings me to club and open my eyes to a whole ocean of fishes. He has done many things for me which if i list it out, I will have to spend the whole day typing it. ;) I am forever grateful man.

7. Called 'someone' the other day and we spoke for a while. He sounds like a pretty nice person but that's just the first impression.

8. I am having a early Xmas christmas dinner with my friends tonight and I make some gifts for them.

The Little Drummer boy

Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.

Baby Jesus, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.

The words and music to the Christmas song Little Drummer Boy was composed by Katherine K. Davis, Henry Onorati and Harry Simeone in 1958. The lyrics of Little Drummer Boy consist of no less than 21 rum pum pum pum' - a major part of the song and therefore presenting an apparently easy task for the lyricist! However, Little Drummer Boy has been a huge hit for several artists. The most notable rendition was created by the most unlikely combination of Bing Crosby and David Bowie. This version of Little Drummer Boy was a massive hot for the artists and was in fact Bing Crosby's most successful recording since the legendary White Christmas.

The idoit woman during the end of Nov

2006-11-23T17:52:00.000+08:00

I nearly vomit blood talking to the house seller.

Moi: Is this Ms.X?
Ms X: Who is this?
Moi: I am Cava, the brother of Ms. Y
Ms X: Oh yes..
Moi:Ok.. Just want to check with you what is the happening, it has been 2 weeks since our lawyers communicated and we are still waiting for your call.
Ms X: I have called them to fix this and that but there is one part which is not done since that contractor is away.
Moi: OK, so when will it be done?
Ms. X: I will call them tomorrow and will let you know.
Moi: ok. I will wait for your call. And, another thing, the final documents from the developer. They said u still have some outstanding payments and they wont release anything until you pay the amount.
Ms. X: Oh I just got the invoice yesterday. Give me some time.
Moi: Some time. when?
Ms. X Tone changed *angry*

yaba-yaba-duba-daba-yada yada yada

Oh my god, she is not happy when I talked to her in a serious tone and even said that I interrogate her and that I shouted at her. I mean it has been months and others who bought the houses after us has already moved in. She is also not happy when I said it it has been dragging on and thought i implied that she is the one dragging it. Damn it.....

On the other hand, I saw in the news last night on the christmas decoration that is being set up in Paris and France. Oh my god.. suddenly I miss it so so much. It's like... arghhhhh what am I really doing with my life. Where do I really want to go? Of course I know KL is cool too and yeah I just cant wait to see all the christmas deco that will be up soon.

Hmm I am making a christmas shopping list already. Gosh, so fun yet so... ouch my wallet is going to bleed again.

It has been weeks since I last blogged. Guess what I have been doing?

1. Working very very hard.
a) Was rushing for the artwork for the coming advertisements.
b) Doing the year end promotions
c) Preparation for the coming roadshow
d) Lots of emailing for my boss.
e) Lots of goods arriving, thus the need to contact my suppliers as well as checking all coming stocks.
f) etc etc etc

I am just way way way way way too busy at work and found no time to blog.

2. Disagreement.
Actually, I dont consider it to be a fight but a very very close friend of mine is suspecting me of flirting with his wife. Common........... Kinda really dissapointed since I thought we have this understanding and pack as close good friend. Anyway... let bygone be bygone.

3. Reconnected with a lot of old friends and things are good.

4. Checking on the new house and doing some shoppings for the furnitures and fittings.

5. Being going out with some friends for 'yum'

6. Might be getting some presents from Venice soon. Heheh I am looking forward to it.

7. My uncle asked me if I am ready to go back to Europe. He is applying PR for me. Hmmm I am still thinking about it. What is the level of sacrifices I am willing to do for this?

8. Puffy is doing great. He is my beloved for now. ;)

旅行的意义

2006-10-28T14:44:00.000+08:00

Puffy lately has been the most adorable puppy. In the morning, he will bark outside my room to wake me up. When I reached home at night, he would be at the door to greet me and he would jump around to show his excitements. It's like.. I don't know how to say it.. I just feel happy to be home to see him. Maybe I am getting this is what people called as mid-uncle-life.

Something funny happened in a pub earlier. Well I hardly go clubbing and this is one of those time where your friend just put a gun to your head and says ' if you do not go out with us tonight, we are going to disown you' so, I went and gosh... the following happened.

Ami 1: Hey someone wants to know you!
Moi: * Shocked * me?
Ami 2: Where? Where? Who?
Moi: * Still shocked *
Ami 1: So how? This is the second time he asked.
Moi: * Double shocked * Me??????
Ami 1: Yes
Ami 2: Common... go for it.
Moi: No la No la. * shy and blushing *

He called my friend the next day to ask for my number again. I still am not giving. I know I am this cruel bastard but I don't want give wrong signal. I am all for friends but dating is just not my thing now.

I am loving this song :-

旅行的意义

你看过了许多美景
你看过了许多美女
你迷失在地图上每一道短暂的光阴
你品尝了夜的巴黎
你踏过下雪的北京
你熟日记本里每一句你最爱的真理
却说不出你爱我的原因
却说不出你欣赏我哪一种表情
却说不出在什么场合我曾让你动心
说不出离开的原因

你累积了许多飞行
你用心挑选纪念品
你搜集了地图上每一次的风和日丽
你拥抱热情的岛屿
你埋葬记忆的土尔其
你流连电影里美丽的不真实的场景
却说不出你爱我的原因
却说不出你欣赏我哪一种表情
却说不出在什么场合我曾让你分心
说不出旅行的意义

你勉强说出你爱我的原因
却说不出你欣赏我哪一种表情
你却说不出在什么场合我曾让你动心
说不出旅行的意义
勉强说出你为我寄出的每一封信
都是你离开的原因你离开我
就是旅行的意义

P/s: D, I am really sorry to hear the news. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

What is your melting moments?

2006-10-19T11:55:00.000+08:00

Have you ever wonder, what makes you tick or frown? In a spirit of seeing people lovey-dovey, what will be your melting moment?

Is it going to be

When someone called your B or deer?,
When someone peel you a prawn over dinner?,
Feed you his extra juicy loving tender chicken parts?,
De-skin the chicken for you?,
Pick up your tap,
Kiss you good night,
Hold you as you are having a swell of a frightful ride,
Just a simple sweet smile, a hello, and knowing (s)he is yours,
Hearing, i love you back
A peck on the cheek in public,
Standing outside your work place, with a bottle of wine, waiting to spend the night with you
Writing you a love letter / sms?
Going for holidays together?
Says he misses you, 24/7
Occasional touches in the public,
buy you a coconut, when you are having sorethroat
Tells you, 'we are written in the stars”
Says he will hold it for you when you cant pee straight when you am old.
Realised that (s)he photo in his/her wallet
Willing to do anything for you....?

I guess I will just stick mine to having that special 'melting moment' biscuit melting in my mouth for now.

Pskk......... Mr. J-rod, I am extremely GLAD (in your own word) for you and wishing you the best of everything and I mean it from the heart.

2006-10-16T18:09:00.000+08:00

the witch over the moon...

2006-10-04T12:39:00.000+08:00

I have been quite ok lately, well, work has been keeping me busy but I am really really bored at work too. Not that I have nothing to do but routine is just not my way of working and my colleagues sometimes just get to my nerves.

One fine day,

Stupid girl 1: See, all these shit... why does your ex employees do this?
Boss : I dont know.....
Stupid Girl 1 : These people dont want to stay here for long, so they simple do only. Who will shit and eat them up later?
Me: DUHHHHHHHHHHH!

Another fine day, after lunch

Stupid Girl 1 : hey, if you are late from lunch, do we deduct your salary?
Me: Duh.. I am not HR. I dont know
Me: *thinking* Shut the **** up. You are not even doing payroll

Yesterday, during meeting

Stupid Girl 1 : Hmm yes, you guys are supposed to be open about your feelings to the boss
Colleague 1 : yes, and I would like to say that this, this, this is not right
Boss: But this is how we do thing
Colleague 1 : Well, I just want to let you know....
Stupid Girl : Yes, that's right, this is how we communicate. You should let them know of your feelings. very good...
Me: *thinking* gosh, you think you are big sister???

Then,

Boss: The colleague who left us, he is not professional.
Stupid girl 1 : Yes, he is so irresponsible.
Boss: And the other one, she said.....
Stupid girl 1 : *interupting the line* can her word be trusted?
Me: *Eyes popped out*

There were numerous occasions where she has pissed people off and I think 80% of the people here does not like her. She has just work here for 1 1/2 months and she is already acting like a ~~kutu~~ idoit.

On a ligther note, today is the mid autumn (for the chinese lunar calender) and at 11:13 p.m. EDT, the moon will be called The Full Harvest Moon. It is always the full Moon occurring nearest to the Autumnal Equinox and in one out of three years, it comes in October and 2006 is one of those years.

Happy mid autumn festival, everyone.

There u go, pikey...

What loneliness
to find no meaning
when there is a meaning

And what loneliness
to be blind in the full light of day, -
and deaf, what loneliness,
amidst the swelling of a song

But not to understand
when there is no meaning,
and to be blind in the middle of the night,
and deaf when silence is complete, -
oh, loneliness within loneliness!

by Nichita Stanescu

p/s: I re-found this poem which I jotted down in one of my book before and I just love the depth of this poem.

Malaysian Hell

2006-09-25T15:58:00.000+08:00

This joke never fails to crack me up, every single time. Enjoy...

*****

A Malaysian dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a different hell for each country. He goes first to the German hell and asks "What do they do here?" He is told "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day." The man does not like the sound of that at all, so he moves on.

He checks out the USA hell as well as the Russian hell and many more.He discovers that they are all more or less the same as the German hell.

Then he comes to the Malaysian hell and finds that there is a very long line of people waiting to get in. Amazed he asks "What do they do here?"

He is told "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the Malaysian devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day.""But that is exactly the same as all the other hells - why are there so many people waiting to get in? "Because maintenance is so bad that the electric chair does not work, someone has stolen all the nails from the bed, and the devil is a former Govt servant, so he comes in, signs the register and then goes to the canteen..."

Another trip...

2006-09-20T17:41:00.000+08:00

These pictures were taken during my US trip this year. It was actually a business trip so I didnt really snap everything that I came across. I am a professional mar.

Disneyland, LA.
They said it's the happiest place on earth but I tell you I took 2 hours to walk there since the map lied to me. hehehe

Kodak Theatre, LA.
Now, this is where all those award ceremonies took place. Yeah, I feel like a star.

I was walking to the office this morning and I was just thinking which path would be more pathetic:-

1. to find someone and feel that the search is over, or
2. to continously hoping and looking for that someone.

Last weekend

Last weekend, I went for a movie - 'Snake in the plane'. I personally find it exciting and interesting but a friend of mine, said that it is a waste of her money to watch that horrible, snake biting horror movie. But, GY, --"Hello, you were hiding your face behind your paws for goodness sake" Sometimes, I love going to horror movies with my galfriends, they are so funny.. and it's damn funny to see them react.

Few days ago

My friend's birthday was a few days ago, so, I brought him and his wife for a treat and present him with a PS2 gun which he has been scouting around. Errr. He called me earlier to ask me how to fix the thing. LOL Wanna kill people but dont know how to use the gun? So I might drop by tonight to set it up for him.

Yesterday

I took yesterday off to settle a few things. First, the signature for my checking account. Gosh, when they took out the sample for my previous signature, I was shocked because it is so different as to what I am signing now. Evolution I guess. A friend however told me that he has not changed his signature since high school though. Went out with a friend for lunch, hmm it was nice meeting up with him after reconnecting back with him lately. At a personal note, I am intrigued. Gosh...

I bought myself a silver bracelet yesterday at distributor's price when I helped to pick up stuff for my uncle. Hmm Actually I am already wearing another one which never leaves my wrist for the past 6 years. Now I have two.

Puffy

Puffy is doing alright. Beside running around the house as if he is the king of the jungle, he is the most adorable puppy you ever come across. He is now newspaper trained for 'faite kaka' (french for poo poo), he still pees around the house sometimes. I think he is going to be a french shih-tzu since I am talking to him in french. Having him has been a pleasure and yes I am trying to control my temper and be more patients day to day. I am doing just fine. My dad and mum will call me up sometimes and ask how is he and they will always say - Puffy is a little dog, be kind to him. Mum, I am.... just that sometimes I am way too impatient but I am not an abuser.

I am teaching him - "Bonjour, toute le monde, Je m'appelle Puffy, J'ai trois mois ans et mon ami est ca va pas la tete" (Translated - Hello everyone, I am Puffy, I am three months old and my friend (me) is crazy) hahaha

Yeah I really think I am crazy.

p/s: more pictures coming up soon.

These are some of the happening in my life the last few weeks or so....

1. Building an online store for my company and I am doing all the updating and this involves a lot of work (getting the pictures, the info, the payment getway, the logo, etc etc). No joke ler.

2. Busy with the coming gadgets fair in September.

3. My new puppy. I am naming him Eiffel. (read - A-fe like the french) Sometimes I wanna ~~slap~~ love him more because after I clean him up and just about to put him down, he pee again. Of course, I know I know.. he is just a puppy and I should be loving tender care.

4. My cousin is in town and he can be the most funny kid and also the most annoying kid too. When he wants to play, there is no stopping him.

5. Trying hard to close a deal for my company but I feel I am caught in between my bosses and the supplier. Both dont want to give way and I really feel like tell my boss 'Look, this is what they are offering, take it or leave it'

Boss: I have talked over the deal with my wife ~~in the bed~~ last night.
Moi: *Grin* Ok, what is the verdict?
Boss: Let them 'samkap' a little. Let them wait.
Moi: Ok. But boss, they are also having talks with some other interested parties.
Boss: But, at the rate they are doing this, I think they just want to clear stock.
Moi: Ok.
Boss: You just keep quiet for now. Wait till I come back.
Moi: Ok boss, if you say so
Boss: Alright, that's all
Moi: Bye bye.

6. I was sick the last few days, not very serious though.

7. I am dreaming about my europe. Reading some of the fellow bloggers blogging about the cold weather in Melbourne, or their wish to see snow... just make me depressed slightly thinking, "when will that day arrive?"

8. A parcel which I send to my friend in Spain has been returned to me. It was a birthday gift and now he dont have my present this year? I am sad...

'Taiki, Happy birthday and I wish you as many happinees as the fireflies that light the night"

9. Remember the cirpy manager that my friend wanted to introduce to me? Apparently he is attached now but when I said hi to him over yahoochat. He still have the guts to ask me when are we hooking up? "brother, no thanks.. I am not interested" Phew... some people are just so easy!

10. I have two new colleagues in the office. One is the accountant and another the assistant accountant. It's funny to see the two new character. The assistant is very sporty and sporting and the way she dressed is like she is going to a party or a singing competition. Way too flambouyant. It's either very beady or shimerring gold or like going to the beach club.

11. My friend asked me if I want to go to Bali for a luxury holiday. Errr I am slightly broke and also I need to save for the moving to the new house. I have not figured how do I want to decorate the place - Renaissance, balinese, or 'elegance in simplicity '.

12. I have so many photos which I have yet to put up to my blog. heheh excuse-moi.....

13. Been reading some new blogs which I feel these writers are pretty interesting and I definitely am looking forward to chat with them online, sometimes and perhaps one day a meetup.

Ok. time to go home. I am heading to 1 U for a movie tonight.

ATR

2006-08-08T10:56:00.000+08:00

I am back to work and KL. Bangkok was cool and really nice. Food was superb and people are charming. Yum yum. Didnt taste anyone though. Was too busy with the fair.

Received this through the mail. It's a good laugh.

******

On a flight to Singapore, a gentleman had made several attempts to get into the men's restroom, but it had always been occupied. The flight attendant noticed his predicament. Sir, she said "You may use the ladies room if you promise not to touch any of the buttons on the wall."

He did what he needed to, and as he sat there he noticed the buttons he had promised not to touch. Each button was identified by letters: WW, WA, PP, and a red one labeled ATR. Who would know if he touched them? He couldn't resist. He pushed WW. Warm water was sprayed gently upon his bottom. What a nice feeling, he thought. Men's restrooms don't have nice things like this. Anticipating greater pleasure, he pushed the WA button. Warm air replaced the warm water, gently drying his underside.

When this stopped, he pushed the PP button. A large powder puff caressed his bottom adding a fragile scent of spring flowers to this unbelievable pleasure. The ladies restroom was more than a restroom, it is tender loving pleasure. When the powder puff completed its pleasure, he couldn't wait to push the ATR button which he knew would be supreme ecstasy. Next thing he knew he was in a hospital as he opened his eyes.

A nurse was staring down at him with a smile on her face. "What happened?" he exclaimed.

"You pushed one too many buttons," replied the nurse.

"The last button marked ATR was an Automatic Tampon Remover. Your balls are in the bucket under the bed"

Madly in love

2006-07-29T21:28:00.000+08:00

I am deeply madly in love.. yes you read me correctly. I am in love with him....

He is 6 weeks old and I have yet to christian him yet. He is now slowly getting to respond to voices now. So I got to find a name real soon. I am thinking eiffel. [read e-fie, like the french]

Sis: So cute, so cute...
Moi: yes, cutie cute...
Sis: Just like the owner...
Moi: Really?
Sis: I mean his size, the fat face and also the small eyes.
Moi: *slap*

The following day, after sending the picture to a friend:

Scotty: Wah... it he yours?
Moi: yes, my new love....
Scotty: So cute. Next time you come out, you got to bring him.
Moi: Sure sure...
Scotty: I wanna hug him.... so cute...
Moi: Make sure you treat the owner as good as you treat the puppy.
Scotty: Bye....
Moi: *slap*

Gosh, I really shouldn't be getting anything or anyone more cute than me from now on... Argh....

Gotta go back to work now, it's 9.30 pm and I have yet to finish my work.
