7.MY DAD SENT ME SUPER SUPER SUPER FUNNY JOKES.(ignore the ? s)
After completing a?jigsaw?puzzle he'd been working on for quite some time, Ah Beng proudly shows off the finished puzzle to a friend. "It took me ONLY 5 MONTHS TO DO IT", Ah Beng brags. "FIVE MONTHS ? THAT'S TOO LONG", the friend exclaims. "YOU?ARE A FOOL." Ah Beng replies, "THIS BOX, IT IS WRITTEN FOR 4-7 YRS".
Ah?Beng?is?filling?up an application form for a job. He supplied the information?for the columns on Name, Age, Address etc. Then he comes to column on "Salary Expected", but he is not sure of the question. After much thought, he writes " Yes "
this's a true account. a lady was filling up the form then
Name:
Age:
Sex: (she wrote yes/no)
go figure.
and the best i've yet to see:
After taking photocopies of documents, Ah Beng always compares it with the original for spelling mistakes.
8. pls pray for the sec4s!

A fool repeats his mistakes. A smart man learns from his mistakes.
But a genius learns from the mistakes of others.
today's mizuno was quite bad. thankfully twas just a 'fun run'. paced with rachel and i think i wasn't doing my job very well. i prob made her slow down a lot. we got so bored of running, our strides became smaller and smaller till we were 'jogging' for one period of time( at least from my point of view). i dont rmb anything much abt the run except one qn from her :" are we reaching yet?" "yes. rmb that bus stop opp.?" i really thought we were finishing in 200m. turned out to be abt a km more. i hope she doesnt rmb a thing abt that. hahaha then we caught up w darinne(slacker); i dont know why but i had this urge to slow down with her. then when merrilyn suddenly overtook us, SHOOTS MR QUEK IS COMING!! (it was a false alarm. he was abt 2-3min away) darinne SPRINTED off and kept turning back 'come on tiff! come on ! catch up!' siao liao. it was an uphill lor.yao wo de ming. she did 300m in 59s.
sch tmr! yay. hahahaha

Flirtatious Father
Joe burst into the living room and said, "Dad, Mom, I have some great news for you! I am getting married to the most beautiful girl in town. She lives a block away and her name is Susan. After dinner, Joe's dad took him aside, "Son, I have to talk with you.. Your mother and I have been married 30 years. She's a wonderful wife but she has never offered much excitement in the bedroom, so I used to fool around with women a lot. Susan is actually your half-sister, and I'm afraid you can't marry her."
Joe was heart-broken.
After eight months he eventually started dating girls again.
A year later he came home and very proudly announced, "Dianne said yes! We are getting married in June." Again his father insisted on another private conversation and broke the sad news. "Diane is your half-sister too, Joe, I am very sorry about this."
Joe was furious!
He finally decided to go to his mother with the news. "Dad has done so much harm. I guess I am never going to get married", he complained. "Every time I fall in love, Dad tells me the girl is my half-sister."
His mother just shook her head. "Don't pay any attention to what he says, dear. He's not really your father.
HAHAHAHA. ok that's not a very edifying story but it's hilarious man. school today was okay until recess but complaining to zhiwei(i think that's her name) helped me cool down a lot :) thanks! she's a good listener.maybe she can overtake wangwang's role =P jk!! i was seething with anger until i went nuts. amanda and jasvir and nicng started playing slapping games(it's not as erotic as it sounds) while teo watched in agony and i eat chicken bryani(whtevr e spelling) then 5 of us went to celebrate the madness of the rain (i'm trying to rearrange the 'it's raining mad' song title) too bad jas was in sch u :D and teo was too embarrassed, as usual. today was a good prefect day. i booked nicng for socks and audrey for eating in class (she was mad la; ate in front of me) it's a record! but i also got booked late for sch. shiyan cautioned me that if im late for sch too many times in rj, i'll get suspended. that's nuts scary.

firstly, CONGRATS MG SWIM TEAM !
B div 4th
C div 2nd
great job! continue striving for greater heights team! sorry i couldn't go down to support, i had english prelims oral.
i am doing some spring cleaning in my e-mail inbox now. (YA AND I WENT FOR MASSAGE JUST NOW. OH MY GOODNESS I WAS SQUIRMING ALL OVER MY CHAIR EACH TIME HE RUBBED OVER THE SWOLLEN PART OF MY ANKLE. HIS RESPONSE? A SMILE(I CHOOSE TO SEE IT AS A SMIRK). SO SADISTIC:( AND MASSAGING THE CALF IS THE WORSTTTTTT I'VE TO SEE HIM AGAIN TMR..) yes i have that many e-mails. and i realise
1)how sentimental i am...i actually don't delete e-mails that have not much content but just because of one encouraging phrase from the sender(eg. thanks , my dear. shall we remember this together and keep reminding ourselves?), they earned a place in my inbox.
2)i've 'spring cleaned' my inbox abt a million times and i know the contents of the e-mails just by looking at the sender's name and the subject (except for mrq's lah. his e-mails are overwhelming in no.)
(too bad if i'm boring you =p i'm feeling very reflective now)
a particular email:
I'm training now at race pace with rest; wouldn't it be worse when we run w/o rest?
In a race, you will be performing at a different "state" - both physically and psychologically. It happened to many others before. They were able to perform what they were not able to do in training. Even your cross country nationals, you were performning above your training standard.
1)i was feeling so damn good during nationals. i can show you my prove-->ya, sarah, it's the pic of me smiling. but i look constipated. well, that's cos in reality, i was RACING. but when they were preparing their cameras, i grinned; i thought they were taking the picture alr.. haiyah nvr say ' 1 2 3 smile' so i dont know when to smile.
2)i dont know what the hell happened. everything just fell into place. including my mentality(!!) before mrng left, he told me the analogy abt thoughts of a champion. charissa shared it with e team abt it too. i was just feeling that man. no sweat. (ok lah maybe it was kinda too ego a thought =p)
3)TURF CITY IS BEAUTIFUL (it's just like how you always want to impress someone you like. same situation now, just that turfcity is someone)
and then yeah it's the same old line again, i miss mr ng. i was reading an email he sent to me just before cross nationals. rather nostalgic; it brought me back to my lower sec days when mr ng focused a lot on RUNNING FOR CHRIST. now, the running for christ phrase seems rather...superficial. at least for me. it's more like i run for mrq,or run to prove to him. haha come to think about it, theres nth much to prove actually...
"do the race with god in your mind....heart....remembering that you can do absolutely nothing....except thru Christ who strengthens you
although I have not been around...i sense that this year you guys are more prepared than any years before...and I am excited to know the outcome....HMMMM....words of whatever....i guess i ran out of them....no...just want to tell eveyone that those who have the will to train and prepare....and have toiled thru the months of training...you have been picked to represent the school...and your friends...so if you have trained hard for this race....go out there and run to the capacity that you ahve trained yourself to run...nothing less...but something more....for yourself ..for the team....for God....and especially the Sec 4... for MGS....
if i only could...i will fly back to watch the race...i miss all of you very much...how are the sec 1s... good bunch??...please update me on the results...I have been praying for all of you... not everyday...but whenever I miss you guys... and that is quite often....(how sweet is that? :) )
God bless and keep all of you....RUN FOR GOD.....HE IS WITH YOU ALWAYS.

words of wisdom that has finally hit me (cos track has just ended so i've no excuse NOT to not think abt studies) ;
rrrrrrrrrrock. says:
i know u probably heard this from a lot of ppl but im gonna tell u anyway that o levels is so much easier than a levels
rrrrrrrrrrock. says:
there's a million less things to study
rrrrrrrrrrock. says:
hahaha
rrrrrrrrrrock. says:
oh oh and i used to think social studies was the worst killer paper ever till i had to take GP
rrrrrrrrrrock. says:
YUCKS!!
i love her. hahaha she has been through exactly what i am going through now! yay. just that her results and mine are really different.
i made a new friend today at tkd (yes, i went back so i can get my black belt by this weekend). he's p2 in nanhua called ASHTON. gosh such a cool name. and hes a real charmer :) he kept turning to smile at me. (maybe it was to his mum..heck) if only my brother was as guai as him.
track finals was an experience; true experience. i guess as what my friends say, it's not about the medal but lessons you bring back home. 'so many mg girls were supporting their hero'. haaha thanks for making my day :)
it's not about me. it's abt Him

hello! so i've moved alr :) i think my old neighbours were just getting used to me walking ard in my room quite scandalously dressed(or undressed)...then i m out. guess my new neighbours have to learn how to adapt...sigh poor things. then again THEY DONT HAVE TO WAKE UP SO EARLY.
raina's my prefect mentee! yay.
amanda and i are seemingly the only ones who have yet to scout for a founders day dress. (.:. we plan to go together. hahaa! we even have trouble choosing ice cream) everybody will have to thank me when they all see amanda entering shangri la(it's that hotel right? 80bucks sobs) in a dress. (shern's prob going with her friends...right?)
apparently, melissa lee jing ting(correct me if her name's wrong. but i dont care anw) inquired abt my track heats cos she wants to WATCH ME. that's right! not him, not that guy...but ME. hahahhahaha =D i'm so touched!
i'm listening to the radio now, i've not bathed, i'm talking to rachel and seb, i've lit to do...AND THERES TRG TMR. must sleep early.
(anyway, can there be a 'before its too late' phrase when bathing is concerned?... stupid rachel :P)
grah :( everybody's giving me the 'look' now. i'm only studying at raffles for two yrs!! ac is still in my blood man! no worries. :)
Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-ticketsto concerts orgames, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in Church?

It's a Dream until you begin. Then it's a Goal.
i'm getting rather disturbed by his emails. he has been reminding me to be focused which i am so not complying to. and i think hes getting annoyed at me. i think he's getting fed up with me :( i dont like that feeling. of people getting disappointed with me.
oh and know what i abhor more? my mind now when i run. dear me. whenever i'm running now, my mind conforms to the negative pains of it. i don't think of the ending anymore; i don't think how i'd feel after the run as my stride length small-ens and legs pump more slowly.(was it even 'moving' in the first place?) i don't think about the consequences of my actions at that point of time. and that sucks..like a black hole in the universe. because when i finally come to my senses, stop circling my thoughts ard emptiness (a.k.a. stoning) and come back to earth, i'm thinking what the hell? what on earth am i doing?
i'm not focused anymore.
and after the run, i've no reason to be upset. i've no reason to be disappointed with myself. of them all, i've no excuse to him about my run. i'm emotionless after running! i can't cry over my crap trg(i've to watch my words). who'd lament over something he nvr did, something he nvr worked for? (yeah in the dual way) i can't rejoice over the crap training either. then again, do i consider that a training?
i hate thinking over my run. when i do, i'm reminded of the time(s) when i slowed down so as to be at ease (cross country is a freaking endurance trg man). i'm reminded of the times i took the 'easy way out'. i am reminded of the time when i gave up. i'm a weakling. i'm a chicken. i'm a whateverweakthingsthereareintheworld. and i'm as healthy as can be. am i still running for Christ?
ok i think i'm fine after all the rambling. (i'm getting very nervous abt tmr's trg. abt facing the same feelings all over again.) --> it's not that i don't put in effort; i do! but not all my effort(in trg). and i dont know why. and it's such a baseless excuse. i'm portraying myself as a defeat. blah.
on to some humour(hahahaa):
Strive to be at the top because the bottom is already crowded.

hello! my church is organising an evangelical event as shown in the poster on the left(so cool right!! my sister taught me how to put picture up hahaha.) anybody,irregardless of religion, interested, contact me. doesn't matter if you're alr a christian, a non christian or a christian just by name. all are invited into the house of God :)church camp was great. it was a great time for fellowshipping with our fellow bros&siss in christ. shan't bother to recount the whole camp cos it was really eventful. okay maybe i'll just quote joshua(hahahaha)
"...from boys to men; now back to boys again."
(then we played di-di-di fingergame hahaha)
i like this story:
There once was a man named George Thomas, pastor in a small New England town. One Easter Sunday morning he came to the Church carrying a rusty, bent, old bird cage, and set it by the pulpit. Eyebrows were raised and, as if in response, Pastor Thomas began to speak...
"I was walking through town yesterday when I saw a young boy coming toward me swinging this bird cage. On the bottom of the cage were three little wild birds, shivering with cold and fright. I stopped the lad and asked, "What you got there, son?" "Just some old birds," came the reply.
"What are you gonna do with them?" I asked.
"Take 'em home and have fun with 'em," he answered. "I'm gonna tease 'em and pull out their feathers to make 'em fight. I'm gonna have a real good time"
"But you'll get tired of those birds sooner or later. What will you do?"
"Oh, I got some cats," said the little boy. "They like birds. I'll take 'em to them."
The pastor was silent for a moment. "How much do you want for those birds, son?"
"Why, you don't want them birds, mister. They're just plain old field birds. They don't sing. They ain't even pretty!"
"How much?" the pastor asked again.
The boy sized up the pastor as if he were crazy and said, "$10?"
The pastor reached in his pocket and took out a ten dollar bill. He placed it in the boy's hand. In a flash, the boy was gone.
The pastor picked up the cage and gently carried it to the end of the alley where there was a tree and a grassy spot Setting the cage down, he opened the door, and by softly tapping the bars persuaded the birds out, setting them free.
Well, that explained the empty bird cage on the pulpit, and then the pastor began to tell this story.
One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting. "Yes, sir, I just caught the world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!"
"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked.
Satan replied, "Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and smoke and curse. I'm gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I'm really gonna have fun!"
"And what will you do when you get done with them?" Jesus asked. "Oh, I'll kill 'em," Satan glared proudly.
"How much do you want for them?" Jesus
asked
"Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't no good. Why, you'll take them and they'll just hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you and kill you.
You don't want those people!!"
"How much?" He asked again.
Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, "All your blood, tears and your life."
Jesus said, "DONE!"
Then He paid the price.
The pastor picked up the cage he opened the door and he walked from the pulpit.
