崇拜

2008-03-12T10:20:00.000-07:00

你的姿態你的青睞　
我存在在你的存在
你以為愛就是被愛　
你揮霍了我的崇拜

我活了　我愛了　
我都不管了　
心愛到瘋了恨到算了就好了
可能的　可以的　
真的可惜了　
幸福好不容易怎麼你卻不敢了呢

我還以為我們能　不同於別人
我還以為不可能的　不會不可能

你的姿態你的青睞　
我存在在你的存在
你以為愛就是被愛　
你揮霍了我的崇拜

風箏有風海豚有海　
我存在在我的存在

所以明白　所以離開　
所以不再為愛而愛　
自己存在　在你之外

A FRENCH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You go on strike because you want three cows.

You have two cows.
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk.
You then create clever cow cartoon images called 'Cowkimon' and market them World-Wide.

Power=Responsibilty

2007-12-12T11:29:00.000-08:00

quote taken fr spiderman..
true though..
if 1 dae, God came n ask u..
'wat kind o power do u wish 2 hav?'
wat wud u choose?

chit-chatting wit eugene n wye chuen todae on msn..
talk abt powers..
eugene chose mind-reading ability.
wye chuen wit time travel..
me? i chose rather 2 hav no power at all..
but.. i wish 2 hav a special... 'power dat r not power'

u guys noe a tv show called 'early adition'?
it's abt a guy who receives tmr edition of newspaper..
so, he gets 2 noe wat wil happened todae..
then, he went n save innocent ppl who r either murdered o accident o kena 4D then heart atk n die..
(the last part i say say only)
so, yet w/out power, he was able 2 help n save ppl's life..
ain't it great?
power = responsibility
but responsibility doesnt comes wit power..

but stil, i can help ppl wit the 'invisible power'
hmm.. wat kinda power wud u choose?

"Malaysia boleh!" is Malaysia's national catch cry.
It translates to "Malaysia can!" Most Malaysians are convinced that the eyes of the world are on their country and that their leaders are world figures.
The truth is, few people on the streets of London or New York could point to Malaysia on a map much less name its prime minister or capital city.
A recent episode of The Simpsons features a newsreader trying to announce that a tidal wave had hit some place called Kuala Lumpur.
He couldn't pronounce the city's name and so made up one, as if no-one cared anyway.
But the joke was on the script writers — Kuala Lumpur is inland.
The Twin Towers, the tallest buildings in the world when they were built, which was their point.
It certainly wasn't that there was an office shortage in Kuala Lumpur.
But, Malaysians are very proud of these towers.
Goodness knows why.
The money for them came out of the ground and the engineering was contracted out to South Korean companies.
They don't even run the shopping centre that's beneath them.
That's handled by Australia's Westfield.

Malaysian astronaut went into space aboard a Russian rocket — the first Malay in space.
And the cost? $RM95 million ($A34.3 million), to be footed by Malaysian taxpayers.
The Science and Technology Minister has said that a moon landing in 2020 is the next target, aboard a US fligh .
There's no indication of what the Americans will charge for this.
But what is Malaysia getting by using the space programs of others as a taxi service?
There are no obvious technical benefits, but no doubt Malaysians will be told once again, that they are "boleh". The thing is, they're not.

Back in July, the Government announced that it would spend $RM490 million on a sports complex near the London Olympics site so that Malaysian athletes can train there and "get used to cold weather".
But the summer Olympics are held in the summer.
Malaysian Government is more interested in stunts like sending a Malaysian into space when Malaysia's inadequate schools could have done with the cash
That's not Malaysia "boleh", that's Malaysia @#$%&.

hungry ghost..

2007-11-13T07:23:00.000-08:00

having work in buffet ress 4 2 mths+ now..
i notice sumthing quite.. rather amusing..
we, asian.. used 2 say.. westerners r gluttony..
foods that they eat r all XXL in size..
obesity prob r higher in the west side.. true though..
but think again.. does ang mo really that yaw kui?? (hungry ghost)

take 4 example..
todae.. 40pax.. mostly chinese came 2 our ress..
ang mo.. not more than 10..
1 chinese.. 2 plate of cold food, 1 plate of carving , 2 plates of main course n dessert dunno how many..
alot? no rite?
ang mo.. 1 small plate of bread, 1 plate cold food, 1 plate main course+carving n dessert 1 plate..
that's an average calculations..
results? who eat more?

kk.. maybe u guys wil argue..
'we take alot of food but all small portions, ang not much but 1 plate stack high high'
haha..
base on my observation..
that's not true too..
we, us, asian.. eat more than those ang mo..

most of us'll do sum 'preparations' b4 going 4 buffet..
like.. fasting 4 the whole dae o take sum lau sai pills 2 cleanse the stomach n intestine so can store more food..
haha.. correct?
we, us, asian hav this mind set 'buffet= eat all u can' 'eat less= ur loss'
they, them, ang mos.. 'buffet=ppl who r 2 lazy 2 think wat 2 eat'
wat they like on the buffet counter.. they eat..
we, us , asian.. watever on the buffet counter.. we take..
cant finish? die die muz take a bite..

duh.. now who're more despo 4 food?

OMG!!! this is wat u call talent!!
