A Test and True Luck

A funny story I lifted from the internet ...

I was a very happy person. My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me ... it was her beautiful younger sister. 

My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was braless. She would regularly bend down, when she was near me, and I always got more than a pleasant view. It had to be deliberate. She never did it when she was near anyone else. 

One day, "little" sister called and asked me to go over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone, when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once, before I got married and committed my life to her sister. Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me." 

I was stunned and frozen in shock, as I watched her go up the stairs. When she reached the top, she pulled off her panties and threw them down the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. 

I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car. Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping! With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test.....we couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to our family!!!"

And the moral of this story is: Always keep your condoms in your car!

Singapore Idol 2006 - Not Gurmit again!

Yes, It has been confirmed. Singapore Idol is going to be hosted by
none other than ... Gurmit Singh!

Yikes! It looks like we're gonna have to endure his unintelligible
banter and mispronunciations this year as well! I have nothing against
the bloke personally, but I think he shouldn't venture beyond the
boundaries of his yellow boots and "raisin" looking mole role, PCK!

Frankly, I'm getting so sick and tired of seeing his face at every English
language event programme that I am tempted to switch to my Star World
or AXN. I'd rather see a re-run of Starship Enterprise than to put up
with his, "I WANT TO HEAR YOU SCREAM, SINGAPORE!!!!!" once again. Take for example, the New Year Show that we had just two days ago. I knew that he was on, so I turned to ESPN and watched European soccer until it was 5 minutes to midnight and forced myself to endure him usher 2006 in! WTF!

I can only attribute to him being on Singapore Idol again because Mediacorp pays him a salary, therefore, with nothing else for him to do ... make him host lah! What else? They even filled him in a leading role in "Lifeline" and all I can say that the series is in bad need of a defibrillator ... Stat!!!!

There are others out there, Mediacorp!!! Daniel Ong, Glenn Ong, Adrian
Pang ... the list goes one. Goodness, even the Flying Dutchman would
have been a better choice.

Alas, all these will fall on deaf ears as Mediacorp knows best, isn't
it? Sigh ....

It's a Brand New Year!

To all my readers, A Happy New Year 2006!

As we head into this new year, I can only wish that we continue to
enjoy peace and prosperity as we did in the past year, 2005.

Blogging has been a new past time for me and I hope to carry it on
faithfully into the new year as well.

Looking back, I can only say that amidst the natural disasters, civil
and political unrest, and growing poverty in third world countries, I
count myself lucky, fortunate and blessed to be living in a country
that ensures it's citizens stay happy and given ample opportunities to
make a living for themselves.

I am sure that many human rights and political detractors will disagree
but I for one, can say that I am thankful for the way my country is
being run.

I have had my share of ups and downs this year and my goal is to
capitalize on my strengths and learn from the mistakes that I have done
and grow from there.

So, for all Singaporeans who continue to complain, take a step back and
reflect on your blessings and appreciate the peace and stability that
we often take for granted.

While I agree that there could be more improvements but count yourself
lucky because Big Brother is indeed looking out for you. Being involved
in community work for the poor, I am indeed impressed with the measures
and avenues that are in place to cater for all those who have been left
behind.

So as we head into a brand new year, let's make a difference in
someone's life with a significant contribution to the betterment of our
society.

Cheers!
