What happen if men write?

Discover this when I was reading Reader's Digest. It is kind of hilarious. Let see if the readers would have seek advice from men. Enjoy reading.

**********************

Dear Uncle, my son is obsessed with Manchester United. He missed his father's funeral to watch the final on TV. When we come home from the cemetery, he was dancing with joy over a goal. It was most inappropriate and the mourners were deeply shocked.
Despairing widow

Dear Despairing Widow, you have a serious problem here. No person in his right mind would celebrate a goal that was so obviously offside. The ref must have TOTALLY blind. Ask your son to check the action replays and he will see the final was STOLEN from AC Milan.


**********************

Dear Uncle, 20 minutes after my son Jason went to school, a message popped up for him on the family computer. His teacher wants to meet him after school at a hotel. She signed it "smoochykins". He is 17, and she is 30. What should I do?
Concerned Mother

Dear Concerned Mother, I understand your concern. Instant message program should automatically log out after 5 minutes of inactivity. Upgrade to version 7.0 to prevent this problem recurring.

**********************

Dear Uncle, my husband bought a home security video system last year. I came home early yesterday and noticed it showed two people kissing in the back garden. Although the picture was fuzzy and grainy, I realised it was my husband and my neighbour. We have been married for 18 years. What should I do?
Broken-hearted Wife

Dear Broken-hearted Wife, this problem is easily fixed. Use a high impedance cable, set the resolution "High Definition" and get an accelerated graphic card. Fuzzy and grainy images will be a thing of the past, and you will get a crystal clear images from your back garden.

School Reopens

School reopens today. First day of attending school has always been very exciting to me. I always love first day. With all those registration fees to be paid, elect the new class monitor, and stuff. Very funny, eh? Just some sweet memories. Really miss those time. University life, surely will be more exciting yet challenging but high school life will never be forgotten, too.

Being chosen as school prefect since form 2, the life of being a student has been more fun. I mean, skipping classes for duties, spotcheck et cetera. In University, think that I won't have to do such things. Still, back in Uni, I did skipped lectures for the last two semesters. I am not being lazy, okay. Even though I skipped, I still hold my responsiblity as a student. Back in high school, after PMR, life has been more hectic with all the 10 subjects that I have to take for SPM. It was exciting, though. I saw lots of students seem to give up already as they couldn't catch up but there were also some struggling to improve too. Me? I still maintain. XD

How I wish I could turn back time to experience those time again. I like school.
Well, all I can do now is to appreciate my studies life, cherish every moment of it before entering the harsh world out there. Sound scary.

Anyway, I would like express my utmost gratitude to all the teachers. Without you, I may not be what I am now. Thank you, teachers.

Expected future posts:
1. Final exam result (kinda really nervous now)
2. Self Reflection of Second Semester, End of Foundation Life
3. Going back to UTP (real soon. Start to feel the sadness of leaving)

**********************

A friend of mine told me that I have studious look.


this photo was taken in my old class back in high school. am sitting at the seat where I used to. I sat at the front row where most of the guys sat at the back.

What do you think?

Seriously? I think I look like an ordinary student with ordinary achievement. A guy next door will soon grow up, has a family (if) and leads a moderate life. May be just a typical engineer. Nothing special. I may excel in studies, this is just because I work a bit harder but not hard enough. I mean, I didn't wear glasses which adds the nerdy and studious look. And now wondering why I crap about this here?

Taman Tumbina Bintulu

Before I continue with this post, for those who are not familiar with Bintulu, guess you never hear of what Taman Tumbina is. Just a slight introduction. Taman Tumbina is a mini zoo which houses animals and plenty of plants. "Tum" comes from the Malay word, "Tumbuhan" which means plants while "bina" derives from the word, "binatang" which means animals. It has been founded since 1991. For more information, click here.

**************************

We planned to go Taman Tumbina on my brother's birthday, which was on Friday to celebrate his big day. But due to some unforeseen circumstances, we just went there yesterday. Anyway, it has been fun to spend the whole evening with him and other brothers and of course, tired.

Reached there around 1.00 pm, our first stop was the Butterfly Farm.


Just to say, plants grow much faster than the butterflies. Hardly can see any flying butterflies there. Pretty nice view though.









After that, we walked around there. Just let the pictures do the talking.

Cactus

Ostrich has only 2 toes? Never know.


Suppose there should be ostrich-riding activity but I didn't see anyone was working there.

Sleeping tiger

Crocodile

Turkey


Proudly to present you, the pride of Sarawak


Hornbill




SARAWAK, LAND OF HORNBILL

Since Taman Tumbina is built across the hill, walking there as if we were doing jungle-tracking at the same time with all those hilly path. Plus, it is surrounded by forest. Really tired, I must say.

After 2 hours, we left the place and heading to Tanjung Batu nearby, the beach to have some food.

Satay


Rojak buah


Sotong kangkung - my favourite


ABC


While waiting for parents to come, we went to the beach to have a look.




Guess what? After a while, it started to rain heavily yet parents haven't arrived. We were caught in the rain, with umbrellas in our hands. With some blowing wind, just make thing worst.

Camera in the hand, manage to take photo, of myself.


Around 5.30pm, we were home. Tired and almost caught some cold.

It's been fun day.

******************************

School reopens tomorrow. All my brothers will be attending their usual class but I will be left at home. Will be going back in 2 weeks. Miss the time I used to spend in school. I like school.

Before ending this post, have something to share. I was flipping through exercise books of my old high school and saw this:


My name is listed again.
*Mwahaha....*

Happy Birthday, My Brother

He's the second.

Born on 2 January 1992.

The only glasses wearer in the family.

We called him, ALOK.

Not fat, not thin.
Not short, not tall.

Loves to sing, I think.

Can dance, at least better than his big brother.

Can cook, seriously.

Sometimes, a bit hot-tempered.

Has soft side too.

A bit sensitive.
(At least not as emotional as his big brother is)

Just realize,
he likes to CAMWHORE!

He's going to be 17.

Just want to say,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DEAR BROTHER.

I Miss 2008

A pretty pathetic opening for the very first post of this new year, isn't it? This is just what I feel now.

I was Facebooking few moments ago and saw this, the feed in my profile.

*click to enlarge*

Do you notice on the date displayed? It is now ../../2008, if you get what I mean. Wondering why, it just strikes through my feeling when I saw it. Was a bit emotional for while. Guess I have to face that 2008 has really gone. I think I miss the moments that I used to have in 2008.

*Let Love Lead The Way by Spice Girls is playing when I am typing this...
You may be weak, but you're strong
Don't you give up if

If you keep holding on
You'll never be wrong
Just close your eyes 'cause it lies deep in your heart....

It's kind of late to wish everyone new year since new year has started more than 12 hours ago. It is still 1 Jan, anyway.

FORGET THE SAD HISTORY,
CHEERS THE HAPPY MOMENT,
REMEMBER THE SWEET MEMORIES.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!
