Random Joke

Why do they call it PMS?

Because Mad Cow Disease was taken.

人生是黑白的

黑就是黑,
白就是白。

没有差不多黑或有一点白。更加没有灰色

既然现在是鬼节,见鬼去吧你!

A speech should be like a dress on a beautiful woman.

Bashir sorry for 'tasteless' quip

TV journalist Martin Bashir has apologised for making what he called a "tasteless" comment about Asian women.

Speaking at the Asian American Journalists Association annual banquet in Chicago, he said: "I'm happy to be in the midst of so many Asian babes.

"In fact, I'm happy that the podium covers me from the waist down."

But in a letter published in New York magazine, the 45-year-old said: "Upon reflection, it was a tasteless remark that I now bitterly regret."

'Serious error'

He added: "I am grateful to you for the opportunity to address those present and hope that the continuing work of the organisation will not be harmed or undermined by my moment of stupidity."

Bashir currently hosts the news documentary show 20/20 on US TV network ABC.

Jeffrey Schneider, a spokesman for the channel, said: "This kind of remark has no place in any setting and Martin knows that and is truly sorry for his serious error in judgment."

Bashir made the speech last month with his 20/20 co-presenter Juju Chang standing nearby on the stage.

He went on to say that a speech should be "like a dress on a beautiful woman - long enough to cover the important parts and short enough to keep your interest - like my colleague Juju's".

As audience members booed the comment, Ms Chang said: "See what I have to put up with?"

Bashir, who was born in London, moved to the US four years ago. He is best known for his 1995 interview with Diana, Princess of Wales.

In 2003 he also interviewed Michael Jackson for his controversial documentary, Living with Michael Jackson, which led to the pop star being charged with molesting one of the boys featured in the programme.

Jackson was later acquitted and filmed his own response to Bashir's interview, accusing him of editing the tapes in a sensationalist manner.

原來這裡沒有你



A whirlwind of 5 days.

Seeing all the old and familiar faces arriving,

Some of them with flushed faces,
Some of them with lines clearly across the faces.

Yet i see them all mourning your loss.

The Taoist priest went off in hakka about your story,
as though he knew you personally.

He spoke of your youth and your struggles.
He spoke of your pain and your joys.

Second morning I see 3yr old Iggy crying and asking for his ah gong to bring him out for a walk.
An older 5yr old Xingyan went to him and pat him on his shoulders,
proclaiming that "Ah Gong sit aeroplane liaos"

Was that supposed to be comic relief or relief that we dun have to explain death to a couple of tots.

i dunno... all i heard in the background were muffled sobbing and weeping.

My Godma told me this,

"How do you feel? Do you know he's gone? Forever? We will never get to see him anymore again."

My heart took a hit then.

She carried on,
"I dunno how i gonna wake up without him by my side."
"If only... .... ..."


I lost myself there.

The nights were long... People were generally talking about everything except him.

I had the privilege of staying up for the nights.

On the last night, me and 3 other brothers decide to play mahjong to while away time and to keep awake..

My Second Brother said this,
"He would never allow us to play mahjong so late one;
why dun we sit away from his altar."


All has been said and done in this another chapter of my life.

July has indeed been a bad month for me.

I lost 2 Fathers in the space of 1 year.

Burning house


Paper house for burning later.. Prayers are going on now.. Getting dizzy.. Joss sticks and incense and lotsa smoke.. I tink i am going to sleep soon.. In a kneeling position..

Sorrow


Sorrow hits us as an entire family of 8. I've never really comprehended the loss in front of me.. Till my godma cried.. Memories of my god dad asking me to sleep early and eat my meals came surging back to me once more.. Seeing her cry, makes me sad.. All of us are at a loss at wat to do.. Probably its really better for us to stay alone.. Probably its a sign for me

Finally


Well.. Alot is exchanged.. And alot has changed.. I've seen 2 deaths in under 370 days.. Wat changes me is.. The cold startling truth.. The truth that we leave everything behind when we pass on..
