WOMEN'S REVENGE



"Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished


to purchase.


As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a


television set in her purse.


"So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.


"No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me,


and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN


(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)





I know I'm not going to understand women.


I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,


pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,


and still be afraid of a spider.





________________________________














CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS





A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles.


The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.


He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.


She directs him down the correct aisle.


A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball


of string on the counter.


She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons


for your wife?


He answers, "You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the


store


to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of


tobacco


and some rolling papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper.


So, I figure if I have to roll my own .......... so does she.
(Just you wait till you get home man!)

WIFE VS. HUSBAND





A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.





An earlier discussion had led to an argument and


neither of them wanted to concede their position.


As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,


the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"


"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."





________________________________














WORDS





A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a


day...


30,000 to a man's 15,000.


The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat


everything to men...


The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"





________________________________








CREATION





A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be


so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.


"The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.


God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;


God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you !





________________________________














WHO DOES WHAT



A man and his wife were having an argument about who


should brew the coffee each morning.


The wife said, "You should do it because you get up first,


and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee.


The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and


you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my


coffee."


Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible


that the man should do the coffee."


Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."


So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at


the top of several pages, that it indeed says .......... "HEBREWS"





________________________________














The Silent Treatment



A man and his wife were having some problems at home


and were giving each other the silent treatment.


Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to


wake him


at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.


Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on


a piece of paper,


"Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.


The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and


he had missed his flight Furious, he was about to go and see why his


wife hadn't wakened him,


when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.


The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."


Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

We RAWK !!!

Chi

Been feelin pretty drained for the past two weeks. Lotsa jugglin to do. Preparation for tests, essay writing, goin thru rehearsals for the students' Flag Dance performance last week(most draining activity) and seein them through the performances tis week.

Yesterday was probably the most tirin day of the month. The day started with Tambourine Dance at 8.30am, then a lil break before the preparation for Flag Dance performance in another school. Thank God the children were not half as naughty and talkative as the ones on Monday otherwise I would probably have lost my voice at the end of the day.

Anyway, it was my second time to help prepare the children before the performance...my duty: do up their hair with glitters and spray. Alaahhh i felt so awkward! First time managing children's hair! God! The only hair i comb is usually mine ...i'm not the type who likes to play with other people's hair, try style 'em n stuff...furthermore i'm really not used to handling hairsprays n glitters. So jakun sia! But heyy, there's always a first-time right? With Mel next to me, i watched, learnt n whacked! Got her to handle the boys who wanted spiky hair style while i dealed with the girls. BLUe. White.Red. Nyyyce...I think i did a pretty good job but the floor was full of glitters. Hish..thank God i wasn't assigned to do make-up! After the children were made up, off to final rehearsals and at 2+ pm, it's time for performance...Can they pull through it? Oh YES they did...am actually more satisfied with the performance yesterday compared to Monday's (which Mel said was a miracle!)

Went home straight after that, thought of finishin up my essay but I was too tired, fell asleep for 2 hours, and off to school i go. Saw Ryn again, almost 7pm already...didn't say much to her, grabbed my Kaya Toasts and off to class. tick tock tick tock...DNA Replication...BREAK! Off to canteen again...again i saw Ryn waitin for her bf, i juz smiled...sorry babe, i didn't manage to hang out with u a lil yesterday. Oh and i got myself a damn BIG YUMMY MANGO!!! OOOoooooooo SHIOK salty sweeeet mango! I think the sugar rush from the mango kept me high till i get home and finished up my essay.

And now I can BREATHE n Juz Sit in front of the PC, listenin to the beautiful lounge/jazz music of Janet Seidel to unwind from all the rush & madness! Ahhhhhhh...But not for long tho, got Genetics Test on Wednesday! Eh but that can wait...I'm lookin forward to X-Men! Wheeee~

Oh btw, today i played with a fire extinguisher! Had a mini fire drill...kinda fun! Haha! Check out the pic of the fire drill...i got some of my colleagues laughin out loud n shakin their heads!

P.S.

Leigh Teabing: "My dear, until that moment in
history, Jesus was viewed by His followers as a mortal prophet...a great and
powerful man, but a man nonetheless. A mortal."

Sophie Neveu: "Not
the Son of God?"

Leigh Teabing: "Right. Jesus' establishment as 'the
Son of God' was officially proposed and voted on by the Council of Nicaea."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leigh Teabing: ''One day he was human, the next, he was divine!''

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is pretty obvious that I caught the hyped-up movie "The Da Vinci Code". I remembered some months back, I asked Yan what is tis Da Vinci Code all abt, why is almost everyone around me seem to be readin the damn book?! So she told me, it's a conspiracy thingy that sort of evolves around the Holy Grail and the drawing of The Last Supper. So oh ok, since the movie is comin out sometime soon, hah as usual...i prefer to juz Watch rather than Read.

So there, I watched it on Saturday. To me it was pretty cool, I was not really concerned about what is the Holy Grail that they were hunting for, I was really intrigued by the codes and puzzles dished out in the movie. Ingenious! And i really pity Silas...poor guy really...so much faith but so so used and betrayed...*i pray to God that i will not be misled like that*

Anyways the phrases that i quoted above reminded me of queries i made sometime back to a Christian colleague abt Jesus alaihisalam(as). I asked questions because I was inquisitive and I wanted to have an understanding about the basic Christianity faith and by no mean, I was tryin to ridicule or put down my colleague's religion. I respect others and their choice of faith and I do not even have the slightest intention to confuse my colleague. Let me say that, for record's sake. 

I used to flip a calendar with Bible verses, one for each day...it was put on the desk that I work at..so yeah, i read. Some were motivational and inspirin, alot of the verses had the same concept as the Quran (love for God, urging to do good, to keep faith, promise of rewards for actions) but I got a lil confused when sometimes there were lines with the phrase "The Lord" and "He" because i noe, Christians believe that Jesus was Son of God and there is also God himself. So one day i decided to ask my colleague abt them.

Me: "Hey X, when the bible say The Lord, does it refer to God or Jesus?"
X: "Usually its God"
Me: "Oh ok..hmm u guys also believe in One God right?"
X : "Yeah"
Me: "How abt Jesus?"
X: "He is Son of God"
Me: "Emmm if u say Jesus is Son of God, then wouldn't it make him also a God??"
X: "It's different" -silence-
Me: -that prompted me to ask more questions but decided to hold my tongue, in case i might say somethin blasphemous to his religion or i might juz cause a rift in our relationship-

I was brought up and given knowledge as a Muslim, and somehow we share the same view as that of Teabing abt Jesus. He is special to us too, a Messenger from God but he is Not divine. That's as far as the similarity goes. It was made known to me that Jesus' soul was lifted by God and he did not go through the crucifixition and that he will return to earth again near/before Doomsday to eliminate false beliefs upon him and lead people once again to the Truth & right path: Worshippin of One True God.

Anyways back to the Da Vinci Code thingy,  the objective of tis movie was somehow to prove that Jesus was a mortal, Suppose...one day through some scientific discoveries or miracles it showed so, how will the whole Christian community react?? I thought Hey they shouldn't despair cos at the back of my head came some of Abu Bakr's (Muhammad's best buddy) ra words when he was addressin the people who were in a state of sadness and total disbelief that prophet Muhammad saw had passed away...maybe it's applicable to them too!

"O people, verily whoever worshipped Muhammad, behold! Muhammad is indeed
dead. But whoever worships God, behold! God is alive and will never die."

"And Muhammad is but a Messenger. Many Messengers
have gone before him; if then he dies or is killed, will you turn back
upon your heels?...." [Ali Imran 3:144]

Juz my thoughts...i hope i did not offend any Christians or Muslims in this entry...

May God Forgive us!

What started to be a threesome dinner@Beach Road market end up bein a "pentosome"@ Spize and I have to say...one of the most interestin, thinkin & blasphemously funny ever. it's like a "cell group" discussion, coffee shop style. tsk! i'm not gonna mention any names in our conversations cos all of us were pretty much Guilty! 4 Muslims & 1 intend to be a Muslim. What is mentioned here is solely discussion materials, personal theories, piecing info we noe and rationalisin them.

it all started because one of us shot a question abt "Hantaran". why do Guys have to give so much money for hantaran to the Girls? is it a Must?

Answer #1: it's for givin the wife and her parents.

Answer #2: it's not an Islamic obligation for marriage, actually dun see why parents demand so much. A dowry is important but not hantaran. To me hantaran is juz like gifts u wanna present to ur prospective wife & her family. it's a Malay thing, not a religious thing..

Answer #3: i could understand that hantaran may be useful for olden days ladies cos they usually stay at home instead of work...but nowadays, girls are actually more educated, workin and independent, so instead of Increasingly high Hantaran, the price should DROP!! and why u people dunno how to answer abt hantaran??

Cos it was not mentioned in our lessons, but the Dowry is! And upon provokation of the mind, I had to go dig up my trusty old book and look up and confirm the Non-existence of hantaran! But it stated that the DOWRY/mahar/Maskawin is decided by the Girl, and it can be given in the form of CASH, THINGS, ACTIONS (like teachin Quran) and Giving Independence (to slave girls back then).

So now my question is...is the Malay tradition of givin hantaran PART of the DOWRY (Maskawin)??

Ok hantaran was a pretty mild subject...we moved on talkin & questionin abt God, Angels & Islamic stuff.

Why does God create Man and why does God allow man to think and choose, but ultimately He determines our actions.
So if someone was to choose to say commit a crime, why does God allow that and punish him after that?

Emm someone spouted...To amuse Him?? Haha but somehow the answer we came to was that, He created us to serve Him. God gives us brains to think so that we can differentiate what is good and what is bad, also to question about Him, reflect on His creations and eventually guide us to Him.

Then came more blasphemous stuff, i know some pious people will not like this, but these are What Ifs...God knows, probably these are the angels that'll kick our asses into hell for wonderin of them like these:

Q: Hey...guess which Angel has retired?
A: Jibril (Gabriel) lah...no more Wahyu (revelation) from God what!
Ahh for all u noe...he's now playin golf in heaven!

Q: So who is slackin in heaven now then, waitin for the command of his task?
A: Izrafil cos he will only blow his "horn" when it's Doom's Day!
So he might be playin WOW and watchin anime till then??

Q: u noe which prophet i like most? it's Sulaiman (Solomon) a.s.
A: i think he's sick, a freak..he can talk to animals & jinns! can u imagine anyone doin that, like dr doolittle...dun u think he's like a cuckoo??
*BUT the person actually think it is an extremely amazing capability that God grants to Solomon and to be able to rule an empire like him...WHoa..Very Very Respectable, out of tis world!*

We messed the head of that person who intended to be a Muslim with our conversations, i was told. Yes he is right, we shouldn't make fun of the angels and all. We were not tryin to make fun or did we intend to mock our religion or God himself. God Forbid and if it is really a sin, may God Forgive us...

Some SENSIBLE quotes/questions that came from the conversations:

F: Islam is a Thinkers' religion
I : There can be Miracles when u Believe
S: U want to be judged by people or do u want to be judged by GOD?
S: When we don't understand/know the reason WHY God ask to do this and that, juz follow cos some things are beyong our rationale (cos He Knows Best).

At the end of the day, is it planted in us that God's power is Magnificent, God's knowledge is Abundant, God is all Forgivin and Islam is a religion for those who seeks submission to God through both Logics and Faith.

Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar.Walillahilhamd

I want to take your naked heart into my hands

Atrapado, moribundo, con esas ganas de bailar contigo.

28.04.06-01.05.06: Bang(ed)Kok

Day 01:
The sun greeted us at 35°C! As soon as we settled down, we took on the streets. Ventured down Pratunam, MBK, Siam Square and Siam Centre.

Day 02:
Half day city tour consited of visitin the Erawan Shrine & the Tallest Buddha temple as well as a Gem Factory. The boys did the Jewelry shoppin! Hohoho! Oh and we had a Honey cum Bee Pollen cum Royal Jelly appreciation session too, the demonstrator was so convincingly funny rattlin off his scientific facts that the whole bunch of us "threw our money" on the products!

Then we were off to Chatuchak Market! Good God...when people say its big, believe it..it is HuGE!! So many many shops and fake goods and everythin looks good & its bargain bargain bargain!

After Chatuchak, we were back in the hotel, the boys cooled off in the pool then we had our long awaited Tom Yam & Seafood dinner before hittin the club@RCA. Hmmm clubbin experience@Route 66 was kinda a lil disappointin. Hardly is there a dancefloor, and most people indulged in a chillin & chattin atmosphere while juz swayin their bodies a lil, to the RnB/Hip Hop moosik. Only Mr Fyz & I were jiggyin..haha! But it rained and it got a lil squeezy, wanted to club hop but everywhere it seemed packed...so went back to the hotel after Iyuan was satisfied with a round of soccer at a PS2 station.

Day 03:
Tis day was dedicated to Shoppin & Thai Massage.
Thai massage was great but my shoulders were still stiff. I saw the masseuse work on Iyuan...Whoa! I really respect how these women work...it is physically demandin for them! They used their elbows, their legs, their whole body to make us feel good...it must be really tiring...esp. for the one who handled Mr Fyz! And i'm really amazed at how soft but strong their hands are! Anyways, we had dinner@Patpong, where the boys were constantly preyed on by pimps..."Ping Pong show for u, sir? Sex show? Sex show??" Ahahhaa

Played Uno & Heart Attack when we got back to the hotel. It was a really funny experience!! And i learnt that boys Cannot lose to a girl! We had tis forfeit of drinkin up a cup of water for the person with most cards left in each round of Uno. Mr Fyz was really plagued with bad Feng Shui...i think he drank at least 6 cups! I was the only one left without drinkin anythin until they resorted to cheating & conspiring to make me lose the last round! Majdan to Mr Fyz "say uno, say uno!!" when he saw Mr Fyz left with a card and obviously i wasn't aware abt to "catch" Mr Fyz, till he whispered aloud! Freakin funny, boys can be really silly!

Day 04:
Off to airport after breakfast..saw tis really gorgeous babe at a distance when i was queuin to check in the luggages while the boys explored the airport. I kept eyein on her but moments later, she disapppeared. I heard the Caucasian middle age man behind me talkin with another man..eh, i thought he was alone. so i turned and to my horror, the GORGEOUS BABE WAS BEHIND ME....she was a LADYBOY LAHHH!!!! *i almost choked on air* demoralising u noe....

the moment we touched down, we ate dinner at Fish n Co at T2. went home in a cab only to discover my parents weren't home yet, and my phone battery was flat & i have no keys and iyuan has left in our cab...stood in front of the flat for like 5min, and guess what? Iyuan popped out of nowhere! I was speechless! Wat the...?? Like a shinin knight he rescued tis damsel in "distress"...scooped my stuff up, went down to the cab and off to his house. He saw me standin outside my flat, he told the cabby t take a U-turn and took me home....Awwww my sweet sweet Romeo....*goo-goo eyed & floating*
