when a local actor meets a china girl
Saturday, July 28, 2007 (9:06 PM)
mediacorp actor yap say ping came to my workplace yesterday to do some shopping. i only found out he is a datuk when he handed me his credit card. it read: yap say ping datuk. for those of you who might be more familiar with his chinese name, it's 叶世品. the last show i saw of him, he played the husband of 林梅娇 in the 9pm show switched 幸运星.
so as he was retrieving his free gift after making his purchase, our chinese colleague handed him a form to fill. this china girl only found out he's an actor after a promoter told her. so she looked at the form, and under the name column, datuk yap wrote: francis yap. then china girl asked:
china girl: 你的华文名是什么?
francis: 我叫李名顺。
china girl: 你是李名顺我就是范文芳。
i have quite a number of story regarding this girl though. the first day of work, myself, a malaysian and her were at work, we introduced ourselves.
me: 金汉
malaysian: 美金
china girl: sylvia
lol... so another thing is, let me tell you a story about my cousin's company. a few years ago, he hired an administrator to do his (what else but...) administrative work. this girl cleans people's desks everyday and lay their stuff nicely but the problem is, she doesn't do her work. she does everything else except her work. there was once when she was printing a report and while the report was printing, she just sat there and waited. my cousin went up to her and asked...
my cousin: have you done the accounts?
girl: haven't.
my cousin: how come haven't do?
girl: oh, coz i'm printing the report now.
my cousin: report printing you cannot open excel now ah?
girl: oh cannot.
my cousin: why cannot? you dunno windows can multitask ah?
girl: oh i dunno.
my cousin: oh is it? you dunno? then how come the other day i saw you playing music and playing game at the same time?
another instance was after she cleaned a guy's desk, the guy saw it and asked...
guy: did you clean my desk?
girl: yes! nice or not? you like it?
guy: no! can you please just go and do your work?
so what's the purpose in telling this story other than that it's quite funny. the china girl at my place is pretty much the same. though she doesn't clean other people's desk, she seldom stays at her work place and we end up having to double up for her. she keeps disappearing from her station and when the crowd comes, there's like no way for us to manage.
grrrr...
oh and today i saw a hot girl. looks, body she has it all and a reasonable height. lucky guy.

我有满腹怨气。为什么那个王八蛋医生要拿一个老人家来做试验。我妈是活生生进来作检查的。怎么可以这样鲁莽地马上就动血管疏通手术。也不用跟她的子女商量或入院观察一下。也不知那个死医生的介绍文是怎样写的，就这样害死一条人命。你们的良心过得去吗!?

boo-ger
Tuesday, July 17, 2007 (11:44 PM)
so after fishermen's wharf, central walk and clarke quay talk, i boarded the north-east line home. on the way back, this group of girls came in. one of them was significantly taller than the others thus, it was natural that i caught sight of her.
other than the wrinkled eyes and tall built, i didn't notice much else about her until when i suddenly caught glimpse of something dark in colour between her upper lip and her nose. for a moment, i thought it was nose hair. if it had been nose hair, it's freakishly long. and being curious (not kaypoh), i turned and looked harder at what it was.
i was stunned. then i looked at her other friends and all of them lowered their heads and kept giggling. it was pretty much a controlled laughter but they simply refused to tell her. she had a booger dangling by i dunno what. perhaps her nose hair somewhere inside and all she did was ask "what?"
she didn't know what was going on and having not much choice, she simply continued her story. i was thinking why didn't they tell her? perhaps they were afraid it'd be embarassing but i thought it's worse when other people see it.
after some moments, i turned and looked again, apparently, it had dropped. so there's the end of the story of the ger with the booger. or in short, the boo-ger.
if it were you, would you tell your friend?
live earth

as the 24-hour live earth concert comes to an end, some of us may be cynical and think that the amount of electricity used and the carbon emitted from the flights people take to catch the show live could possibly cause more harm. but there is something we cannot deny, which is that the message could've caused an impact in people's lives. people are more aware of what little changes they can do to create a huge difference.
however, the sad news is that the concert in england didn't end off so well. the floor was littered all over with a significant amount of unrecyclable items. apparently, the english wasn't paying enough attention to the messages or the purposes behind this concert.
the good news is that many japanese stayed back to clear and sort out the litter. then again, this has all along been the practice of the japanese. even in macdonalds' they separate the paper cups from the burger wrappers; the ice from the cup. so did this concert change anyone? that, we don't have to be too bothered. more importantly, did it change you?

when papers are delivered to you in the morning, read it. don't wait till the evening. that's what i learnt last night.
the straits times came in the wee hours of the morning. but i had to leave it till like 6+pm before flipping the pages. and it was at that time, that i saw the ad for a free seminar by adam khoo on the same day from 7-10pm. that's it. i can't make it down in time. i missed that free seminar. wtf. when is he going hold another free seminar again.
so what should you do when the papers get delivered to you in the morning?
read it.

credit card
Tuesday, July 03, 2007 (10:23 PM)
to be honest, i have pretty much zero knowledge on credit cards. i know nuts about them. the only thing i'm aware is that it gives you the tendency to spend future money.
during japanese class a couple of weeks ago, the topic was whether credit cards give you benefits. most of my classmates gave the nod. i thought otherwise. perhaps it's the way i am brought up or the kind of influences around me. the only benefit i can see that credit cards offer is for businesses who need high cash flow to generate more income. other than that, it's pretty much a devil telling you to spend beyond your limits.
it's almost like the live audiences of deal or no deal. the shadowy-banker offers you a 5-figure sum. then the devils surrounding the studio starts chanting, "no deal! no deal! no deal!" if you're weak enough, you fall for it and go "no deal!" what happens? our jedi knight wanna-be goes home with $250. the good news is, you don't really do much shopping in star wars galaxy.
