I DON'T THINK IT'S FUNNY

"Sawadeeka"...I was greeted that night whilst walking into
a hotel in Bangkok, few years ago. I don't know what it meant
but it's their common greetings when they meet someone.

Our tour guide, a lady, told us that if you are a woman..

greetings should be "sawadeeka" and for a man, "sawadeekap".
See the difference?

But this is not what I intend to write today.
Few weeks ago I came across
http://www.piasau.com/
under the Bahasa article "Dikejar oleh Pondan" by Sanny.

(His encounter with a ladyboy at a dark alley) I wanted
so much to comment about this, but I hold it back.. I
thought, maybe someday, when I'm ready to have a blog,

I'll write it down instead for all to read. So..here I am!

I remembered going to a show in Pattaya, Thailand...

what's the name again..let me think..hmm..yes,
"Tiffany"..Yes! yes! that's the name. I don't know whether
you've seen this Tiffany show or not? There's skits, dancing
and fashion show alike in this show..and the actor/actresses..

are the 'aquas'...but I rather called them ladyboy.

These ladyboys are georgeous.. maybe not like the one our

dear friend Sanny, met at the dark alley.. but these ladyboys
are stunning, tall and very sexy. I can't recalled how much we
paid for the show but it was really entertaining. The place was
like a mini opera house. Right after the show, these entertainers
will meet the crowds and a certain amount is charged for a
snapshot.

I was quite curious that evening and being a friendly person,

I queried our lady tour guide about these ladyboys.
She told me that these ladyboys spent a large sum of money
to keep their body intact like that. They took hormonal jabs
every week to maintain their figure..you know what I mean?

Being very anxious, wanting to know more, I asked her further..

" What about their life- span..? I mean, with all the jabbings
(Got such word or not?)..every week..must be risky and
damaging to health, isn't it? This was her reply.."60years if they are
lucky..but mostly until 40years".

GULP! no more questions about them. Another Tiffany show?

Sorry..not for me. I would never want to see another Tiffany
show..I can't bear to learn the truth behind the scene.

WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD

I've read so many poems in my life but I guessed this is the best!

Will your anchor hold in the storms of life
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife
When the strong tides lift, and the cable strain
Will your anchor drift or firm remain

We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and Sure while the billows roll
Fastened to the rock which cannot move
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour's love

Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear
When the breakers roar and the reef is near
While the surges rave, and wild winds blow
Shall the angry waves then your bark overflow

Will your anchor hold in the floods of death
When the waters cold chill your latest breath
On the rising tide you can never fail
While your anchor holds within the veil

While your eyes behold through the morning light
The city of gold and the harbour bright
Will your anchor safe by the heavenly shore
When life's storm are past forevermore

On Relationship..

A teacher tested her students with a question about the present Seven Wonders of The World. she expected to hear a list like: (1) the Great Pyramid, (2) the Taj Mahal (3) the Grand Canyon (4) the Panama Canal (5) the Empire State Building (6) St Peter's Basilica (7) the Great wall of China.
One girl seem to be having trouble with the question but finally turned her paper in.
Her answers were unexpected.

"The Seven Wonders of the World are : to see, to hear, to touch, to feel, to laugh, and to love."

I think of all the gadgets and soaring high building that we human build, nothing is more important than relationship. That is why, friends are so important.

I have only this secret in maintaining good friendship -" treat others the way you yourself wish to be treated".

LET"S HAVE A LAUGH...

This is hilarious...even an Englishman could not construct sentences using numbers! Exclusively only to great Malaysian and Singaporean........

Ah Lek was asked to make a sentence using 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 . Not only did he do it 1 to 10, he did it again back to 1.

This was what he came up with...

1 day I go 2 climb up a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple saw me, so I panic and 4 down. The man rush out and wanted to 5 with me. I run so fast until I felt 6 and throw up. So I go into 7 eleven and grab some 8 to throw at him. Then I took a 9 and try to stab him. 10 God he run away. So, I put the 9 back and pay for the 8 and left 7 eleven. Next day, I call my boss and say I am 6 . He said 5 , tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work. He also asks me to climb a 3 ! and jump down. I don't understand, I so nice 2 him but I don't know what he 1 .

A JOURNEY OF FRIENDSHIP

I thank God for a good life He's given me. It's not so much about things of the world..but I found that the most precious gifts God has given me are true friends. They are pearls and precious stones, very valuable. My friends, to those that I know..and to those that yet to come...I dedicate this blog to all of you. Cheers!

Jade - Thank you for being there when I most needed a shoulder to cry on.
You are my little laughing angel, you are smart and you ROCK!

Pearl - I cried many years for a loss of a sister, but God replace me YOU.

Eleen - My motivator. You make me smile with your easy going..."It's okay maa..." attitude.
very positive...Thank God for positive people like you.

KVun - Hehe....YES Maam'...No need to elaborate la..huhuhu..love you!

Audrey - My sister....how blessed are those who know you.

Grace - My partner...my best buddy.

Josephine H - You are God sent angel..Thank you for helping me out in my times of need.

..and a toast to Shirley, Pat, May, P.Amy, P.Sonia, P.Margaret, Sis Dora...and a whole lot more.
Words cannot describe how much every each one of you mean to me. I'd learned about trust, caring, risk-taking and all that friendship could embrace in our hurried and harried lives.

Trully indeed " Great things are done by people who think great thoughts and then go out into the world to make their dreams come true"....

I saw all of you ..just did that!

with much love and regards...always....
