Hellooo, I'm feeling a tad better, so I shall post something interesting! whilst waiting for 6.7GB of files to be copied and pasted into my com..
I've always found learning about "Life Lessons" and "Words of Wisdom" interesting but useless. Some of the most cliche ones that make me cringe include: "Patience is a virtue", "Dance like no one is watching", "Treat others the way you want to be treated" - not because they're not valuable, but because it's something you already know that's being reiterated at you over and over.However, these short stories offer some worthy life lessons worth remembering.Lesson 1: Critical Information
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,
"Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"
Moral of the story:If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2: The boss gets the First Say
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, "I’ll give each of you just one wish".
"Me first! Me first!" says the admin. clerk.
"I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."
Poof! She’s gone.
"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep.
"I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life."
Poof! He’s gone.
"OK, you’re up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager says,
"I want those two back in the office after lunch."
Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 3: Be Well-Informed
A Priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said,"Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his hand.
But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."
Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."
Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Lesson 4: High Ranks
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him,"Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" The crow answered, "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.
A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.
Lesson 5: Power of Charisma - Bullshit
A turkey was chatting with a bull "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven’t got the energy."
"Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?" replied the bull. "They’re packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.
Lesson 6: The rules of Shit
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Moral of the story:
1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut.
I found them cool (:
Toodles!

Just for the fun of updating funny stuff, while I'm at it.. People are just taking this SC president thing too serious.. Zeming's Fanclub created an email called voteforzeming@hotmail.com and it's nick on MSN was "VOTE FOR ZEMING!" ..
PeiEn rises up to the challenge by decorating the girls' washrooms..
The front side of a toilet cubicle door,
and the back.
The "vandalized" grandstand, by the current Student Council President MinZhang, desperate to hold his position.
My brother insists that I post something about him.
Firstly, he thinks nursery rhymes are sadistic, take a look at the lyrics of
- Itsy Bitsy Spider
The poor lil' thing.
- London Burning
- London Bridge is Falling Down
someone must really dislike London..
- Rock a bye Baby
byebye baby, you should have screamed "I'm too young to die!"
- Jack and Jill
the poor souls who got injured fetching a pail of water.
- Humpty Dumpty
dislocated beyong recovery.
He also insisted I share a joke he asked me during dinner today with Uncle Jafar who came from London (:
There was a 2kg crab on the table, he picked up the pincer.
Bro: What would you do if this crab came after you when you were swimming?
Me: Nothing. *why would I even be swimming with a crab*
Bro: What if it was coming towards you?
Me: Nothing.
Bro: Look at this pincer, what if it was snapping and coming to attack you?
Me: Swim away lor.
Bro: What if it swims faster that you?
Me: Die lor. I mean, what would you do then?
Bro: You should pull someone infront of you.
Me: And what if that person was you?
Bro: Uhh.. I'll pull someone else infront of me.
-.- ''' some times I wonder what he uses his brain for. He said I had to post this and it would be the blog entry of the year.
The end of my exceptional post.
I said it would end with Pamela's statement didn't I?
My hand
Siyao's Pammy :D property. (it's still there.. even though it was written 2 days ago)
