Alright, I shall not post up stories today, but an update on what I’ve been doing.

Well work has been a bore. I’ve got nothing much to do, so basically for the past 1 and a half weeks they have been paying me to come to work to nuah. Hahaha!!! oh wells its good money lah. But den again it’s a waste of time.

So I’ve been using the time that I nuah in office constructively.. Let me break it down for you.
In the morning when I reach office, I check my mails, reply if necessary, read news on channelnewsasia.com, straitstimes.com and bbc.com.. Usually I’ll stop at cna and strait times.. hahaha!!!! Read too much of the news I can get depressed and sad..hahaha!!! So sad what’s happening ard the world. I can do all these the whole morning with the occasional acts of being busy. Alright so after that is lunch..hehe..

After lunch, I’ll blog surf, I’ll check email again, if the bosses aren’t walking around much I’ll be reading comics online, surf the net, looking out for stuff , den if I haven’t finish reading the news I will continue reading news, cuz sometimes got updates also mah.. hahaha!!! I wish I cld play games or read my storybook, sadly I can’t.

Oh the other thing I do is msning..hahaha!!! Internet and msn is like ur best buddy at work sia. Every single time I’m bored I can find sth I can do on the internet or I disturb my friends using msn.. My outlook is also my good friend, email my friends so it becomes like a chat room for us.
Alright this is the outline of what I do in office when I have nth or nth much to do..I’ve often told my friends I would rather have a lot of things to do than nth to do, hah!! U must think I am crazy for saying this, oh wells it’s true, if I have nth to do at work, I’ll find it meaningless to come to work. I’ve been dragging myself to work this few days or in fact this whole week.

I am going to rather random, I’ll just type whatever things that comes to my mind..

I din go to work ytd, partly cuz I din want to go to work, partly cuz I want to see the doc for my rashes on my leg that doesn’t seem to go away and finally cuz I wanted visit the dentist and have my teeth checked. I spent a bomb ytd on all these, 39.90 for the doctor and 135 for the dentist. Hahaha!!! I had polishing and 3 fillings, haha!!! This is what I get fro not visiting the dentist for at 1.5 years or 2 years. The last time I visited the dentist was to extract a tooth that was putting pressure on the growth of my wisdom tooth, I am so thankful that I dun have to extract my wisdom tooth.

You know when I was in primary school, I was so afraid to go the dentist, hahaha!!! I crumble in fear whenever I see a person with the red board walk in to call names, I’ll hope in my mind *don’t call my name (until they walk out)* and feel like crying if they do call my name. Once I was called to the dentist and the dentist was going to do sth to me but I can’t remember what it was but I started crying and run to the place where we wait for our turn, refusing to go towards the chair, the dentist or rather nurse scolded me and threatened me with sth I think it was an injection, I cried harder after hearing what she’ll do to me. She gave up and asked me rather fiercely that if I rather let her do what she’s supposed to do or see the principal. Hahaha!!! so I replied rather guai lanly and relieved at the same time that I rather see my principal.. hahaha!!!! When I think back on this incident I’ll laugh at myself. Now I would voluntarily go to the dentist myself. This is a joke man.

Okok..enough on this embarrassing childhood memories, I paiseh sia.. aiyah oh wells.. on wed I went with my mum and sister to buy a Christmas tree at takashimaya cuz my smart brother went to throw away our tree, which my mum bot like oni 2 years or so ago only.. make us waste unnecessary money to buy another tree. Anyways that is not the point, so after buying the tree we went home and set it up, put all the decorations and stuff oni to find that the lights are missing too..omg..hahaha!! so my mum went to buy the lights ytd..so smart right my brother. He was supposed to buy the tree, but in the end he din want to buy le, so we the ladies have to go and buy and carry it home ourselves. Sometimes I think to myself why do I have such a brother..

Ooooohhhhh…..before buying the tree we went to eat at Fish & Co, yummy yummy yummy..had seafood platter for 2, shared with my sister..hehehehe..

A Heart Warming Story

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:

When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection.

Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do.

He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled, comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'

Then he told the following story:

Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball.

Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?'

I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play...

The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning.

I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.

Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt.

I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart.

The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted.


In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.

In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again.

Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?

Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact.

The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.

The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay.

As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over.

The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman.

Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates.

Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first!

Run to first!'

Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base.

He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!'

Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base.

By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball... the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team.

He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head.

Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!'

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!'

Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team

'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.

Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them...

A Chinese man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to China on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Chinese man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out. The Loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Chinesefor using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the banks underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Chinese returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, 'Sir, we are very happy to have had yourbusiness, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are alittle puzzled.

While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a Multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5,000?

The Chinese replies: 'Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there safely when I return.'

A GOOD GOLF WIFE!

An elderly couple were having dinner one evening when the husband reachedacross the table, took his wife's hand in his and said, 'Martha, soon wewill be married 50 years, and there's something I have to know. In all ofthese 50 years, have you ever been unfaithful to me?

Martha replied, Well Henry, I have to be honest with you. Yes, I've beenunfaithful to you three times during these 50 years, but always for a good reason.

Henry was obviously hurt by his wife's confession, but said, I never suspected. Can you tell me what you mean by good reasons?

Martha said, The first time was shortly after we were married, and wewere about to lose our little house because we couldn't pay the mortgage. Do you remember that one evening I went to see the banker and the next dayhe notified you that the loan would be extended?

Henry recalled the visit to the banker and said, 'I can forgive you forthat. You saved our home, but what about the second time?

Martha asked, And do you remember when you were so sick, but we didn't have the money to pay for the heart surgery you needed? Well, I went to see your doctor one night and, if you recall, he did the surgery at no charge.

I recall that, said Henry. 'And you did it to save my life, so of courseI can forgive you for that. Now tell me about the third time.

Alright, Martha said. So do you remember when you ran for president of your golf club, and you needed 73 more votes?

hahaha!!! ah wells...

Alright let me start off with a story a GHOST story…..

Prior to joining a new company, this guy A was working at boat quay area.
In those tall building offices like UOB and such. His office was quite high up the level at least 30 and above. Normally he will have to stay back for OT and in the evening, all the lifts will be stopped due to security reasons. Whenever he wanted to leave, he will need to call the old security uncle to activate the lift from ground floor to his level. Then the uncle will send the lift up..

After sometime, he left the company and joined another place where his office also very high up in the building. Hence if do OT, also need to call uncle to send lift up. Then it came the day that he's working OT for the first time at the new place. He stayed back till 12 plus am and when he's about to leave, he called the security uncle to send the lift up. After packing up he went to the lobby to wait for the lift. He waited and waited. 10 mins passed, Lift not up. He waited for another 10 mins and call the security uncle. S denotes security here.

A: Hello Uncle ah, have you send the lift up?

S: Yeah sent liao.

A: No leh I been waiting for 20 mins liao leh

S: No meh? okie okie I send again.


Another 5 minutes went by. No lift came up. The guy got worried. He's the last person to leave and there's no one around. He called the uncle on his handphone again.


A: Er... Uncle ah, you sure you sent the lift up?

S: Yeah I sent it up twice liao leh.

A: But I saw the lifts all on the first floor leh!

S: Aiyoh. Nevermind. I take the lift up and look for you.



Again, A waited. 5 minutes passed but none of the lift are moving. Then suddenly, his hp ring. The uncle voice was on the other side of the line sounding very weird.

S: Where are you? I am here. But I cannot find you.



All this while A was staring at the display of the lifts. All at level 1..... and the uncle is here.... shit something is not right.

A straight away chiong to the stairs and dashed down the building...When he reached ground level, he chiong to the security counter and he found out that....





.....





......





.....







He had actually called the old security uncle in the building of his ex company and not the security uncle of his new office -_- He work till seh liao and was damn blur. Feeling very pai seh, he also never call back to explain to the security uncle from the building of his ex company.

Blur fellow and poor uncle. He must be the one who actually freaked out going all the way up and saw no one there.

Moral of the story - dun work till becoming like sotong.... Detress by DANCING............. :-) errr....-_-'''
