on the bus…

October 28, 2007

Was on the way to town yesterday when I saw this incident…

A rather pretty young lady (ard sec sch age?) was standing diagonal from me, near the exit. She looked quite sweet and refined…

And then, she saw her friend near the front of the bus. Wanted to catch her friend’s attention, the resulting exchange resulted:

Young Lady (YL): Zhar Bor…. (Woman)
YL:  ji guo lai lah (squeeze over)
YL: c*** b** (vuglarity)
YL: zhan na me yuan! (why stand so far?)

Bear in mind this wasn’t exactly a private conversation… she was shouting across to her friend half a bus length away…

In the less than 2 minutes it took her to say those lines, *poof* went the sweet young thing image :(

Various Prayers

October 23, 2007

Dhammapada (attributed to Buddha)

It would be better if, instead of a thousand words,
There was only one, a word that brought Peace.
It would be better if, instead of a thousand poems,
There was only one, a poem that revealed true Beauty.
It would be better if, instead of a thousand songs,
There was only one, a song that spread Happiness.

Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi (13th Century)

Outside, beyond what is right and wrong, there exists a vast field.
We will find each other there.

The Prophet Mohammed (7th Century)

Oh, Allah, I turn to you because you know everything, even what is hidden.
If what I am doing is good for me and for my religion, for my life now and hereafter, then let that task be easy and blessed.
If what I am doing is bad for me and for my religion, for my life now and hereafter, remove me from that task.

Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 7: 7-8)

Ask, and it will be given to you;
seek, and you will find;
knock, and it will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks recieves,
and he who seeks finds,
and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Jewish Prayer for Peace

Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord that we may walk in His paths. And we shall beat our swords into ploughshares and our spears into pruning hooks.
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
And none shall be afraid, for the mouth of the Lord of Hosts has spoken.

Lao Tse, China (6th Century BC) 

If there is to be peace in the world, the nations must live in peace.
If there is to be peace among nations, the cities must not rise up against each other.
If there is to be peace in the cities, neighbours must understand each other.
If there is to be peace among neighbours, there must be harmony in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home, we must each find our own heart.

The Sonnet

Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLD)

The Sonnet

Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed?

Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They’re conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that’s okay, because you’re very choosy with your affections anyway. You’d absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance.

Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You’re already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there’s no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so.

You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.

True or False?

 

On my part… I would say… hmm… yes, I’d refuse to date someone dumber than me… hahaha… have lots of female friends whom I’m really close to… babies… erm…. usually they cry when they see

Comments, anyone?

October 21, 2007

trying out this new browser called maxthon… seems quite clean for the interface… whether it’s as user friendly would depend on much more use :) anyone using it too?


Unplanned for free weekend…

October 20, 2007

Was supposed to bring the kids out to a competition…. but… but… cancelled… now, I’m pretty bored sitting in the library on my dad’s iBook tying out my blog! Today’s the canon shootout… but hor… since they said I gotta bring kids out, so I planned to have the day bz and to rest tomorrow…

Sigh… sad hor… wanted to ask E out, but she’s working today. XS seems more keen to go out on weeknights (dunno why also… no matter which weekday we go out, we both have to work bloody early the next day!)

Went for the 2nd adjudication training last night. Interesting again, with some “games” I just might try with the kiddos.

1. Walk through 2 rows (1 angels, 1 devils) in order to decide something
2. 5 sec game where 2 people take turns to generate points

And…. it took me 45 min just to squeeze onto the bus yesterday!!! OMG…. incredible lor… at least 5 of the first bus and 2 of the 2nd bus before I could get onto the bus……. terrible….


today!

October 15, 2007

today…

(1) is a public holiday (we don’t get to choose day offs in lieu)
(2) I have 12 + 12 + 10 = 34 essays left
(3) I shall finish the 34 essays
(4) I shall find something silly to do
(5) I shall jog and cycle
(6) I shall… I shall… I shall… hmm… I don’t know… any suggestions?? LOL

Anyway, weekend is over…
- another 2 weeks to the lower secs getting their break…
- another 2 weeks of debate adjudication training to go…
- another 6 weeks to debate training camp

Anyway, talking about debate adjudication training… we did this really wierd activity…

we queued up in 2 lines… the trainer pretended to be a sec 3 boy was a deadline on monday, but his friends told him the soccer match of the century would be happening in 15 min, and he was invited! So we played angels and devils to persuade him to either do his homework or play soccer…

I was on the angels side (what else? sweet, innocent me, you know) and guess what I said? The previous person said that if he did not go and play, he would become a nerd and no girl would like him. So I said

SOOOOO? WHAT ARE GIRLS? PLEEZE… GIRLS ARE A DIME A DOZEN!!!

haiz… the lengths we go to just to win….

And… someone asked me over the weekend what my criteria for a boyfriend is… and I remembered this.

I think pretty much things haven’t change much? Still around the same bah….

- Height: about my height when I’m in heels? Could be slightly taller though… keke
- Race: Chinese
- Age: my age till around + 4? hmm…
- Religion: Preferably same bah… or one of the “Chinese” religions…
- Edu level: degree holder? To me, intelligence and ambition are equally important. (Hidden implication – Paper qualifications <> intelligence and ambition)
- Non-smoker, casual drinker ok
- Open to learning new things (coz I’m on the lookout for new things to learn)
- Zest and passion for life
- Not necessary to have common interests – I believe it’s important to learn something together. It’d belong to us, vs belonging to just one person…
- We must be able to communicate intelligently! (don’t ask… if you know, you know. if you don’t, oh well)

- Those who do not satisfy the above but possess at least 90% of the following may apply too…
1. luxury boat
2. big big bungalow in sentosa cove or some similiar exclusive niche
3. 7 digit bank balance (and I mean SGD or USD)
4. big luxury car
5. CEO of major MNC
6. major hunk
7. owns a major retail chain (ie. I can shop for free)
8. owns a plane
9. is an astronaut (yes, I’m a nerd and I like nerds…)
10. er… I’ll tell u when I think about it…

oh… the last one about satisfying 90% is for a lark ok??? don’t flame me hor… I’m just super sian marking essays on a public holiday….

anyway, found a very cute “application to date XXX” on the net, but it’s not on this comp… will post it later…

ciao!! I’m going to reduce the pile of essays some more… hahaha…

==========================================================
Found this on esnips a while back… quite cute lah… anyway, modified it FOR FUN… I repeat, it’s FOR FUN only k?
