Cheating Husband

A wife suspects her husband of cheating on her, and thus decided to test him.

At night, he returned home from work. While he is preparing to bathe, she said,
"Yesterday night i called your handphone, but a lady picked up the phone."

Flustered, he asked, "What did she say?!"

For a moment, she remain silent. Then she said,
"This is a telecom announcement service. The number u just called is not available. Please try again later."

The End.

Hahaha it's a joke! Laugh people! LAUGH! =) Hope this is funny. Oh wells, back to mugging.

Laughter is the best medicine. laughing is a form of exercise. laughing is contagious. So people, laugh! Spread the happiness =D

Struggle A Little
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly, that he brought home.

One day a small opening appeared he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours. It struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, but, it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. He continued to watch the butterfly, he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and the body would contract.

Neither happened!

In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It was never able to fly.The man acted with well-intentioned kindness but he didn't understand the consequences.

The restricting cocoon and the struggle required to get through the tiny opening, were nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been and we could never fly.

So the next time you are faced with an obstacle,a challenge, or a problem, remember the butterfly.

Struggle a little - then fly!

hehe i got the story from mavis. She said she posted this story on her blog before but i guess it doesn't matter if i post it again =D afterall not EVERYONE goes to her blog =P

Quite true isn't it? If have never struggled, you would never experience the joy of success. We've been hearing phrases that depict such simple logics but have u ever noticed? Haven't our parents and teachers always told us 先苦后甜? 吃得苦中苦,方为人上人?Haha k lah i'm not here to 'showoff' my chinese. But u get my idea lah LOL.

I said this some entries before: I dislike insects that fly. haha i dislike butterflies! but they look nice from afar. AFAR. =) something to take note! NEVER take your kids (if u going to haf one) to the butterfly garden in Thailand. U dunno how traumatising the experience can be to a child! Lucky the 虎豹别墅 close down already. I remember my dad putting me next to this ant that is as big as me when I was 5. TOTALLY FREAKED OUT ok! yepp. In conclusion, insects sux. Ziyuan sux too cos he likes insects. *puke*

heh last but not least i shall post this very important message!

GOOD LUCK FOR PROMOS EVERYONE!!
MUG SMART, NOT HARD.
TAKE CARE, NOT NOTES.
DRINK LOTSA WATER! FROM THE MUG IF U WISH
=DD
AND ALSO,
REMEBER TO SLEEP EARLY AND REST WELL!
休息是为了走更长远的路。
*in short, just weigh the marginal benefits and marginal costs of forgoing your sleep to mug that extra few minutes. MC>MR is a NONO! MR>MC also not good. haha mug at the point MR=MC ba.
=)
I love Economics! I really do. =D

You Are From Neptune

You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability.
You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea.
Your soul is filled with possibilities, and your heart overflows with compassion.
You can be in a room full of friendly people and feel all alone.
If you don't get carried away with one idea, your spiritual nature will see you through anything.
got this from alvin's blog. I think it's quite true! I really like deep blue sea =) anyway go try it out! haha. Men are from Mars and women from Venus? Proven wrong. =P
----------------------------------------------------------------------

忘了,
我已忘了如何忘了。
喜怒哀与乐,爱恨情与仇。
如此熟悉的情感,
感觉却很陌生。
是否我已忘记?
是否感情已被麻木了?
***
The ability to forget may be a gift, may be a curse.
To forget all unhappiness is a gift; to forget all joy is a curse.
The mind controls it all-to forget or to remember.
It keeps painful memories fresh, and the other faded.
This is not to harm us, it is to remind us.
To remind us of mistakes made, of embarrasement endured, of..
To remind us of the root to all successes-failure.
***
"You are shaped and characterised by failures in your life, not by your success."
***
或许,我是真的忘了。
但是,我们共享的回忆,深深的埋在我心底。
一起度过的岁月,无法忘怀。
=)

Dawn or evening?
Sunrise or sunset?
A new beginning or the end of chapter?
Emerging from behind the clouds or slowly hidden by moving clouds?
***
Positive perspective and negative point of view.
Optimistic and pessimist.
Which one are u?
***
Today, I'm pessimistic.
Today, I've heard what I've never heard.
Today, I've heard what I do not want to hear.
Today, I start gasping again.
Must be the stress. Must be this and that.
RARRHH.
I'm worn out.
I can't go on.
Today, I've fallen.
***
世间充满谜题。
人的思维是个难解的谜。
心里,心理,有个不解之谜。
追求答案只会带来更多疑惑。
***
Isn't it that people always say,
Ignorant is bliss.
What you don't know wouldn't harm you.
etc?
***
难解的谜,就让它更加难解吧。

hey guys! I'm back with an interesting puzzle. It's shown on a Mondo Magic Singapore, so i thought u guys might be interested in it =)

ok so here's the puzzle:
Notice that all columns and rows add up to haf 10 dots each. As seen, each column consist of 4 boxes, each having different number of red dots. So here's what i want you to do:
1) Remove 1 dot from any of the boxes containing 2 or 3 red dots. Notice that when u remove it, the sum of all boxes in that column/row decrease by 1, i.e. No. of dots=9.
2) Now, move 1 red dot from any box containing 2 or 3 dots on the adjacent rows/columns to the corner box (i.e. the box that contains 1 or 4 dots)
3) Sum up the number of red dots in each row/column. Is it still 10?

It should be still 10 =D Amazed?! Dun be amazed yet. Try repeating step 1 to step 3, and be amazed again!! Try it out! Use a pen to draw the dots or any objects to act as a dot. Take some time of mugging and marvel at this puzzle. Do you believe in magic? =D

P.S. I was amazed at first. But after some pondering, i realised the mathematical application to this puzzle. So, think about it and take a break from all the mugging! Ur brain cells need refreshment by working on such interesting puzzles ;)

ok got this from luan. cos she want me to do. seems interesting tho =D

5 random facts about me:

1) I got a mini loudspeaker in my throat that amplifies everything I say.
2) I aspire to be a househusband =)
3) I spend almost 15mins making my hair everyday. Even though in the end it still look nonsensical.
4) I 'flirt' around (as suggested by zhirui). B'cos I say hi to girls I've never met before.
5) I DON'T go around asking girls for handphone numbers. I'm not desperate =D

5 things which scare me:

1) My mum when she is angry.
2) My living room during night. Dark and silent and the red glow from the lamp. RARRHH.
3) Flying insects!! Butterflies scare me when they fly near me =X
4) Horror/scary movie. (Scary movie 1,2,3 not counted they are funny)
5) My temper when I'm angry.

3) My parents!! (ok lah my sis too though she abit irritating at times)

独唱情歌

下弦月 星满天 像谁泪涟涟
一阵风 一首歌 摇晃思念
只恨年少爱逞强 为小事轻言离别

在春天 过冬天 张眼睛冬眠
一颗心 一种病 不停落叶
旧情怎么那么长 打了绕了几千结

有没有一把剑 可以真斩了藕断丝连
有没有一条线 能缝扯散了缘

独唱情歌 最苦涩
逃不了的折磨
当生死相许说出口 别后悬念依旧
独唱情歌 最苦涩
管不住的离愁
赶下眉头又上心头 我好想再暖和你手

下弦月 星满天 像谁泪涟涟
她微笑 她捧花都看不见
我只听着你从前捧着声张的誓言

在春天 过冬天 张眼睛冬眠
看倔强 带幸福 越走越远
有时不愿让一点 最后却失去一切

我站在柳絮扎眼寂寞胡同谁在弄堂忽然沉默泪流

im back with a story to tell! but before that,

HAPPY B'DAY PEIJIN!

haha i know i've said this in your blog, 4/7 blog and yesterday in anderson. but oh wells =) stay happy and cheerful!

ok so here's the story, its about unconditioned love. Maybe your have read it before, but read again and refresh your memory ba =)

Unconditioned Love
A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.

"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."

"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."

"There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."

"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."

"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."

"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.

The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are.
