Just for laughs...
An European tourist was visiting a temple in Singapore when he noticed two
statues, a man and a woman by the altar.
He asked the monk what was the significance of the two.
The monk explained that in the Chinese system of yin and yang,
positives must always be balanced by negatives, and having the two
statues ensures that the universal balance was maintained.
"This statue of the woman is the Goddess of Mercy, Kuan-Yin."
"What about the other one?" asked the tourist.
"This one is the God of No Mercy, Kuan-Yew."

祝我生日快乐
我知道伤心不能改变什么
那么让我诚实一点
诚实难免有不能控制的宣泄
只有关上了门不必理谁
一个人坐在空的包厢里面
手机让它休息一夜
难,想切割切掉回忆的画面
眼泪不能流过十二点
生日快乐
我对自己说
蜡烛点了
寂寞亮了
生日快乐
泪也融了
我要谢谢你给的你拿走的一切
还爱你的一点恨
还要时间
才能平衡
热恋伤痕
画面重生
祝我生日快乐
Thank you for the past 30 years.
People come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When we know which one it is, we will know what to do for that person. When someone is in our life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need we have expressed.
They have come to assist us through a difficulty, to provide us with guidance and support, to aid us physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they actually are.
They are there for the reason we need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on our part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force us to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON or a phase as we commonly call it, because our turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring us an experience of peace or simply just make us laugh. They may teach us something we have never done b4. They usually give us an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teaches us lifetime lessons, things we must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Our job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what we have learnt to good use in all other relationships and areas of our life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. But i firmly believe that Friendship lasts a lifetime be it whichever part of reason, season or lifetime, you came into my life.
Thank you for being a part of my life, no matter who you are, at which point of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
From your friend of all times,
Jesuafreak/JF/JX/Ah Siong/Ah Pui and whichever else name you know me by

Gotten this off Cow
I tink its funny how pple describe Faith as. some pple, nt insinuatin in anyway to cow, just assume it has to do with religion.
Isnt Faith as simple as taking a Lift or a flight off to any country in the world.
Do you run up the stairs to the roof to check on the cables and pulley.
Do you ask the town council for the lift maintenance records and incident record books.
Do you ask for the pilot's flight assessment records ?
Do you have a pre-flight interview with the pilot b4hand to check on his mental health lest he fly u str8 into Singapore Flyer?
I dunno about you guys... i walk str8 into the lift, press 10Floor and it brings me there lor...
I walk to my flight.. playin my PSP.. sleep and eat thru out till i hit my destination.. i dunch even flinch.. unless of coz there's air turbulence...
Isnt wat Faith we all doing in our daily lives...
I dunno leh... but i know Faith is in action in my life through out.. whether is it religious based or not.. its another issue...
BTW Faith is not a christian word. Its something we all have. Like how i have faith in my close palz. How they gonna dunk me on friday. its all in the heart, thy faith word.

One of the classic stories in the field of self-fulfilling prophecies is one of a computer in England that was accidentally programmed incorrectly. In academic terms, it labeled a class of “bright” kids “dumb” kids and a class of supposedly “dumb” kids “bright.” And that computer report was the primary criterion that created the teachers’ paradigms about their students at the beginning of the year.
When the administration finally discovered the mistake five and a half months later, they decided to test the kids again without telling anyone what had happened. And the results were amazing. The “bright” kids had gone down significantly in IQ test points. They had been seen and treated as mentally limited, uncooperative, and difficult to teach. The teachers’ paradigms had become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
But scores in the supposedly “dumb” group had gone up. The teachers had treated them as though they were bright, and their energy, their hope, their optimism, their excitement had reflected high individual expectation and worth for those kids.
These teachers were asked what it was like during the first few weeks of the term. “For some reason, our methods weren’t working,” they replied. “So we had to change our methods.” The information showed that the kids were bright. If things weren’t working well, they figured it had to be the teaching methods. So they worked on methods. They were proactive; they worked in their Circle of Influence. Apparent learner disability was nothing more or less than teacher inflexibility.

Last Sat, wes driving in with a couple of other frenz for a lok lok dinner... We were havin this interesting conversation about wat is compatible with yoru sign/horoscope for marriage...
This interestin fren of ours... claimed that she can only marry a 1.8m tall non-Malaysian who's borne of either 1971/1976/1978/1981. (ED: Know of anyone.. pls gmail your profile to me.. i wanna intro a nice buddy to u)...
We asked her which bomob /monk/priest told her that shite...
She say very chunz one lor... till date she's still single lor.... perhaps those pple borne in the 4 listed years are either damn short or all malaysianz....
here's mine horoscope reading.. any Roosters Cows or Sows to apply ???
**********************************
Snake - Born in 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2015, 2037, 2049
Snakes are usually considered clever, passionate, determined, romantic, intense, rich in wisdom and charm, but vain. Women born under Snake are often beautiful. Snakes will be strongly guided by their intuition. They certainly will win a lot of money, but have to avoid procrastination and stingy attitude towards money.
*The Snake would be most content as a teacher, philosopher, writer, psychiatrist, or fortune teller.
*Snake people enter a room and there is Music, Music, Joy! Everyone dances! Such high spirit! The Snake is so intense and passionate, just as likely to take out the castanets as to climb mountains of snow. Snake year people are charming and romantic, often planning delightful hideaway surprises. Possessing tremendous wisdom, they are deep, quiet thinkers, calm by nature, but most intense. They often get involved in great causes, bigger than life, and often serve as mentors to the young. To paraphrase Confucius, they have a kind of inner beauty that arises, hovers, then comes to nest. They will have an abundance of good fortune and a long and prosperous life. Sharkfin Soup and Chinese Cabbage are among keys to good health!!
*Marriage of the Snake with a Rooster or Ox not a Pig will be best.
Famous Snake People: Mao Tse-tong, Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Ferdinand Marcos, Abraham Lincoln, Lady Pamela Mountbatten, Martin Luther King, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, Edgar Allen Poe, Prime Minister Tony Blair, Bob Dylan

Another Nice Song
Korean movie with Cheena song.. I liked the lyrics... I liked the girl in the MTV...
It kinda struck me again...
It made me spend an entire day wandering around,
Asking wat is my purpose... Where is my call
I m lost again...
当月光洒在我的脸上
我想我就快变了摸样
有一种叫做撕心裂肺的汤
喝了它有神奇的力量
闭上眼看见天堂
那是藏着你笑的地方
我躲开无数个猎人的枪
赶走坟墓爬出的忧伤
为了你,我变成狼人摸样
为了你,染上了疯狂
为了你,穿上厚厚的伪装
为了你,换了心肠
我们还能不能再见面
我在佛前苦苦求了几千年
愿意用几世换我们一世情缘
希望可以感动上天
我们还能不能能不能再见面
我在佛前苦苦求了几千年
当我在踏过这条奈何桥之前
让我再吻一吻你的脸
让我再吻一吻你的脸

New Flight Restrictions
In compliance with new guidelines set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) on hand baggage, various countries have implemented restrictions on carriage of liquids, aerosols and gels on passenger hand baggage.
Examples of liquids, aerosols and gels include:
* All liquids including beverages, soups and syrups
* Gels, including hair and shower gels
* Pastes, including toothpastes
* Creams, lotions and oils
* Contents of aerosol cans, including sprays, shaving foam, deodorants
* Mascara
* Liquid-solid mixtures
* Any other item of similar consistency
Note: The above items are some common examples and are not exhaustive.
The restrictions are as follows:
* Liquids, gels and aerosols will only be allowed in cabin baggage if they are kept in containers with volumes of not more than 100 ml each.
* These containers must be carried in a clear, re-sealable plastic bag. The total volume of the bag must not exceed 1 litre.
* Each person is allowed to carry only one such plastic bag.
* The bag must be removed from cabin baggage and presented to security personnel for visual examination.
Medications and special dietary requirements, including baby formula:
* Are permitted in cabin baggage
* Must be removed from cabin baggage and declared to security personnel at the checkpoint. These items may be subjected to security checks.
* Customers with prescription medicine are advised to bring along supporting documentation (e.g. ID cards, letters from doctors) as verification.
As some countries have imposed these restrictions on both arrival and departure flights, this may affect your ability to carry duty-free purchases onboard the aircraft. Customers are advised to check with duty free personnel before making their purchases.
Note: The above items are some common examples and are not exhaustive.
Passengers may still carry on board the things they would normally take in carry-on baggage, such as cameras; personal music devices; books; and clothing.
Existing restrictions for carry-on baggage remain the same.
