Children's view of Love and Marriage

What Exactly Is Marriage??

"Marriage is when you get to keep your girl and don't have to give her back to her parents" -Eric, AGE 6

"When somebody's been dating for a while, the boy might propose to the girl. He says to her, 'I'll take you for a whole life, or at least until we have kids and get divorced, but you got to do one particular thing for me.' Then she says yes, but she's wondering what the thing is and whether it's naughty or not. She can't wait to find out." -Anita, AGE 9


How Does a Person Decide Whom to marry??

"You flip a nickel, and heads means you stay with him and tails means you try the next one." -Kelly, AGE 9

"My mother says to look for a man who is kind....That's what I'll do....I'll find somebody who's kinda tall and handsome." -Carolyn, AGE 8


Concerning the Proper Age to Get Married.

"Eighty-four Because at that age, you don't have to work anymore, and you can spend all your time loving each other in your bedroom." -Carolyn, AGE 8

"Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife" -Bert, AGE 5


How Did Your Mom and Dad Meet??

"They were at a dance party at a friend's house. Then they went for a drive, but their car broke down...It was a good thing, because it gave them a chance to find out about their values." -Lottie, AGE 9

"My father was doing some strange chores for my mother. They won't tell me what kind." -Jeremy, AGE 8


What Do Most People Do on a Date??

"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." -Martin, AGE 10

"Many daters just eat pork chops and french fries and talk about love." -Craig, AGE 9


When Is It Okay to Kiss Someone??

"You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a ring and her own VCR, 'cause she'll want to have videos of the wedding." -Allan, AGE 10

"Never kiss in front of other people. It's a big embarrassing thing if anybody sees you....If nobody sees you, I might be willing to try it with a handsome boy, but just for a few hours." -Kally, AGE 9


The Great Debate: Is It Better to Be Single or Married??

"You should ask the people who read Cosmopolitan" -Kirsten, AGE 10

"It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need somebody to clean up after them" -Anita, AGE 9

"It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I'm just a kid. I don't need that kind of trouble." -Will, AGE 7

[Fwd] 5 minutes Management Course

Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'
'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.
'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'

Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.


Lesson 2:
A priest offered a Nun a lift.
She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.
The priest nearly had an accident.
After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129.
It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.


Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.
They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'
'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'
Puff! She's gone.
'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'
Puff! He's gone.
'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.


Lesson 4:
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.
A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'
The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.
All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson 5:
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.


Lesson 6:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

THUS ENDS THE FIVE MINUTE MANAGEMENT COURSE.

The NEW 10 Commandments

Let's encourage each other to talk about our feelings, and let's try to see each other in different light without all our preconceptions.

Let's care about each other the ways we used to.

Let's try harder.

Let's respect each other's opinions and ask each other questions, just like we would with a friend.

Let's be more thoughtful.

Let's pretend we're dating again, and let's just fall in love all over again.

Let's not assume we know what the other one will think and say and do.

Let's think before we just react.

Let's not let our affection for grow stale and sink us into boring routines.

Let's treat each other like sweethearts, and let's just fall in love again.

[Fwd] 9 WORDS WOMEN USE

  1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
  2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
  3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm.. This means something,and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
  4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
  5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are anidiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguingwith you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)
  6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women canmake to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard beforedeciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
  7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.
  8. Whatever: Is a women's way of sayin F@!K YOU!
  9. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, butis now doing it herself.
    This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to #3.

Bali, simply irresistible!

In brief, Bali is one of the 30 provinces of the Republic of Indonesia to the east of Java. Bali is divided into 8 regencies and 1 municipal city – Denpasar, which is the capital city of Bali province. It has a tropical climate all year round, with a wet monsoon season starting from December to March.

Bali was dubbed “Island of the Gods”, as thousands of temples have been erected on this island. Today, almost 90% of the population is of Balinese Hinduism.

It is often perceived as the Island of Paradise, and I totally agree to this title as being touched, felt and enjoyed the many wonders and beauties offered on and around this little mythical island : landscape, rice paddies on hillsides terrace, serene volcanoes, white long sandy beaches, warm blue water, beach sports, magnificent temples and palaces, rich past and heritage, friendly people...
It's truly irresistible!

NEC gang been there from 6/6/200 to 10/06/2008.

This is insight if Kuta Lagoon, the hotel we lodged. It's quite and cozy, how wish I could stay there for a longer period of time.

Here are few tourist attractions in Bali:

Tanah Lot Temple was built in the 16th century, ancient Tanah Lot temple perched on a huge rock off Bali's west coast, and is surrounded by tranquil sea. It was built to pay homage to the spiritual guardians of the sea.
Nice sunset view, it's a good destination for honeymoon.

Uluwatu, here is the cliff, not that bad as compared to the Scotland one.

If wearing shorts, we must wear the sarong and yellow belt to cover up. It's a kind of respect to their holy spirits.


Bedugul temple is having a refreshing cool fresh mountain air. The temple is situated on the lake.


The cozy ambient with cool fresh air, good for health, mind & soul.


Mt Batur Kintamani is still an active volcano. It offers a fascinating view of its huge mountain lake.
The ladder of rice paddies.



Kuta beach is a well-known spot for surfing, it's so called surfers' paradise.

Here 'The Lousiest Surfer Group Award' goes to...

I do love this blue blue sky and white sandy beach so much...


There is a famous Hard Rock Café located along Kuta's beach road, we been to buy some sourveniers and mercandises.


Along the Kuta beach road, there's a parade by Blue Toyota Vios, the name of the Taxi company is a bit funny in Hokkien, it's so called 'Blue Bird' Taxi ...

Another famous spot for water sport is Nusa Dua. There offers parachutte and flying fish. We are on the air-boat and being fly like a kite in the air.


About cultural show, Barong & Randa dance is a boring performance that depicts the battle between the good (Barong) and the evil (Rangda). Anyway, this is an exposure to Balinese culture.

Night life in Bali is fantastic, we enjoy drinks at price much more lower than can buy in Malaysia. We hang out in 'Paddy' which was being bombed in year 2002. The environment was kinda warm and humid, make us sweat a lot.

After all, It's truly a paradise for surfers, shopping, hungry and thirsty travelers. I bring back the joy, and left the stress & tension there.

Hope for revisit some other days.
