My god mum has like 3 to 4 god-children...I m the youngest....everytime without fail the others wpould come laden with financial woes, expecting her to bless them and give uncompromisingly....but this year or rather 2k3 she waas laden with health and fianancial woes...to her surprise but not mine, they all like seem to "ren jian zhen fa"...ahhahaha...talk abt fillial piety & gratitude eh...

THIS IS FUNNY....abit not so nice lah...but jsut read for fun k
1. Women are unpredictable. Before marriage, she expects a man, after marriage she suspects him, and after death she respects him.
2. There was this guy who told his woman that he loved her so much that he would go thru hell for her. They got married - and now he is going thru hell.
3. A man inserted an 'ad' in the classifieds : "Wife wanted ". Next day, he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing : "You can have mine."
4. When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife.
5. It's easy to tell if a man is married or not. Just watch him drive a car with a woman sitting beside him. If both his hands are on the wheel, you can be sure he is married.
6. A man received a letter from some kidnappers. The letter said, "If you don't promise to send us $100,000 I swear that we will kidnap your wife." The poor man wrote back, " I am afraid I can't keep my promise but I hope you will keep yours."
7. What's the matter, you look depressed." "I'm having trouble with my wife." "What happened?" "She said she wasn't going to speak to me for 30 days." "But that ought to make you happy." "It did, but today is the last day."
WOMAN
When she is 18 - She is a football, 22 men going after her.
When she is 28 - She is a hockey ball, 8 men going after her.
When she is 38 - She is a golf ball, 1 man hitting on her.
When she is 48 -She is a pingpong ball, 2 men pushing to each other.
MAN
At 20 - A man is like a coconut, so much to offer, so little to give.
At 30 - He is like a durian, dangerous but delicious.
At 40 - He is like a watermelon, big, round and juicy.
At 50 - He is like a mandarin orange, the season comes once in a year.
At 60 - He is just like a raisin, dried out, wrinkles and cheap.
Marriage Humour In the beginning,
-- God created earth and rested. Then God created man and rested. Then God created woman. Since then, neither God nor man has rested.

Persistence is required if you are going to overcome discouragement.
Persistence is vital to success because defeats, failures, mistakes, and
delays are inevitable. It doesn't make any difference how highly you
develop your skills or how knowledgeable you become in a particular field,
you are going to make mistakes and experience periods of failure from time
to time. We live in a fallen world, and there is no getting away from the
inevitability of error. The problem with failures, faults, and mistakes is
that many of us don't know how to deal with them. We allow ourselves to
become discouraged by them, even if we know we are learning valuable
lessons by experiencing them.
