Sharon Stone(d?) Thinks May 12 Earthquake in China is due to Karma
In her response to the media query at Festival de Cannes on if she is aware of the earthquake in China and she suggested the devastating May 12 earthquake there could have been the result of bad "karma" -- China's treatment of ethnic Tibetans and their exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama - whom Sharon claims to be a personal friend of. I can imagine the frown on the Dalai Lama's face when he hears about that.

Bye Bye Mr Big Fat Ugly Liar
He always like to think he's very charming and handsome. Oh and he likes to once in a while boast about him ever taken part in some marathon organised by a bank here. The reaction most of us have on that is 'yah, as the jarga for the water point' is it.
He's greedy and will always be there where there is food. He also likes to pull rank over small matters like when we received a nice hamper and he'll say 'wah nice box ah, after the food-stuff is distributed, I want the box......who dares to fight with me over the box? here only one person's position who is higher than me...." Like that win liao loh (but there's been another GM who is worse I guess....she will gladly 'absorp' the whole hamper.)
Most people don't like him, with the exception of a few ball lickers. pui! These are the people who even bothered to give him farewell lunch. Faintz........a few of them asked me if I like to join in.....my reaction? - I rather take my money to buy food to feed stray dogs....at least the dog will wag it's tail.

Mr Know It All
'oh you mean now then you know? that's old news'
'I knew that long ago liao'
'that album was already released in Jan'
With an attitude like 'oh you retard...','I'm Mr Know it all'. Doesn't that just turn you off?
This attitude or type of response may be beneficial if when put to use in the work place to impress one's boss. However it makes that person a lousy conversationist. Since you already know so many things, I will think I probably won't need / like to say too much to you.
Like recently when I tried to share with someone over msn about Leona Lewis's Bleeding Love (whom recently performed on AI) and that someone's responded with 'oh that's song so long ago liao, her album out in Jan - now her other song more updated one is 'Better In Time'.
I just wanted to share the song that I thought was very nice, a song which I thought was pretty well written and such songs are so rare nowadays and you had to tried to show off that you're very up to date on the English song scene. hmmmm. So what if you think Better In Time is more up to date? It's my preference which song I like.
Also recently someone asked me what movie I think I'll most likely want to watch....I qouted "Funny Games" and after he checked out the website he commented that "just saw the trailer, quite sick actually, storyline quite shallow".....fren if you dunno how to appreciate such movies just say so, it's not shallow. Maybe it's you who is shallow.
Bleeding ....Bleeding Love
"Bleeding Love"
Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen
But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy
But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling
But nothing's greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe
But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
And it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see
I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
Love her voice.....love this song......so captivating.

Ken Lee - The woman who listens with her heart
What a Strange World We Live In
Someone attempting suicide will be charged for attempting to take his / her own life.
Smoking which is harmful in many ways - not to mention how second hand smoke is even worse and the smoker gets away with it.
What a strange world we live in.

Taiwan Celebrities Criticise Singaporean English
Huh!
That's my first reaction when I first viewed that clip. Who are they to mock us?
However I must say there was another episode where they did criticize themselves and point out their own mistakes amongst themselves.
Actually the issue here is not who is superior than who in what.
The issue here is : Is it alright to mock others - on national TV - about what they perceive as 'weird' and 'funny' without having a good understanding of the culture and background of the country in question.
Do we do that on our national TV?
And well, after some 1,000 over netizens's complaints later / they did apologise.....or did they really (considering that only a few posted the apology in their personal blogs) ?
Maybe if and when that (like to dress like pregnant) teacher next visits SG, our customs officer can invite her to spend half a day or more if necessary to teach us her way of pronouncing PREGNANT before clearing her to enter SG. Maybe we throw in complimentary hearing check for her since she admitted that her hearing got problem.
Maybe we should - like what Mr Brown suggested - learn their English like their reporter below

《当我老了》 — 写给孩子的一封信
Reading it brings me to tears....
当我老了,不再是原来的我。
请理解我,对我有一点耐心。
当我把菜汤洒到自己的衣服上时,
当我忘记怎样系鞋带时,
请想一想当初我是如何手把手地教你。
当我一遍又一遍地重复你早已听腻的话语,
请耐心地听我说,不要打断我。
你小的时候,我不得不重复那个讲过千 百遍的故事,直到你进入梦乡。
当我需要你帮我洗澡时,
请不要责备我。
还记得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗?
当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时,
请不要嘲笑我。
想一想当初我怎样耐心地回答你的每一个「为什 么」。
当我由于双腿疲劳而无法行走时,
请伸出你年轻有力的手搀扶我。
就像你小时候学习走路时,我扶你那样。
当我忽然忘记我们谈话的主题,
请给我一些时间让我回想。
其实对我来说,谈论什么并不重要,
只要你能在一旁听 我说,我就很满足。
当你看着老去的我,请不要悲伤。
理解我,支持我,
就像你刚才开始学习如何生活时我对你那样。
当初我引导你走上人生路,如今请陪伴我走完最后的路。
给我你的爱和耐心,我会抱以感激的微笑,
这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。

Respect but never Expect?
人家未必会对你好
有时候人家对你不好
你可能要看他的用意在哪
但是人家对你不好时
你该如何对待那个人呢?
是不是要像人家说的
Respect but never Expect?
但是要别人Respect 是comes naturally 的?
还是要earn the respect from people?
我觉得要我respect you as a fellow human being 没有问题
如果你能earn my respect, 我会加倍的respect 你
就好像在公司里的一些主任/经理
我会打从心里的respect 他们
但也有一小撮的人仗着有靠山
就作威作虎, 其实不过是空城一座罢了
不要说是Respect, 我反而看不起那些人!

Smokers irrational, like animals: M'sia cleric
KUALA LUMPUR - SMOKERS are like animals that do not think rationally, a Malaysian hardline Islamist cleric said at the weekend.
Islam discourages the faithful from smoking, just as it bars them from alcohol, said Mr Nik Aziz Nik Mat, spiritual leader of the Parti Islam se-Malaysia, which seeks to turn the country into an Islamic state that punishes thieves by lopping off their hands.
Smokers did not use their brains because they continued to let themselves be addicted to the habit, despite knowing it was bad for their health, the Star newspaper quoted Mr Nik Aziz as saying.
'People who do not want to think are like animals,' Mr Nik Aziz told the launch of an anti-smoking campaign in Kota Baru, the capital of Malaysia's north-eastern state of Kelantan, which is his party's last remaining bastion.
Mr Nik Aziz, himself a non-smoker, has earlier said smokers would not be included among his party's candidates at Malaysia's next general elections, widely expected to be called as soon as early next year. -- REUTERS

Once on a mrt train I saw a man boarded the mrt train at the Novena station.......carrying those brown envelopes, those carrying x-ray type. His eyes were bloodshot like he just cried his heart out. Tho he is a total stranger but somehow I feel an immediate heartache for him.
I thought about what must be going thru his mind now.........
"do I tell them?"
"what will they do if one day I lost this battle....."
"If only I've listened....."
