Jokes of a snail and a tortoise

3 more posts to break my record of total no. of posts in a month, so far, my highest record is 15 posts per month, this month I've already had 13 posts, and today is 29th Sep. So, besides this, tomorrow I'll do 2 posts. yeah!!

I always saw this snail in the calamansi plant in my garden, it is very very tiny, and I was wondering, what's it doing there? what do snail eat? how did it get to the calamansi? farmer hates snails because they eat their vegetable/ fruits, but what's it role in our eco-system? How many type of snail in the world? which is edible? Of course this little snail on my plant is too cute for me to hate nor I want to cook and eat it.

I remember a joke: a tortoise is walking in a road and he met a snail, the tortoise sees the snail crawling very slowly, so he offered:" young man, come up to my shell, I'll give you a ride". The snail was too happy to accept the offer and so, they travel together. Later on the road, they saw an ant, he was running so fast but his legs are too short, so, the kind tortoise offered him a ride too. When the ant went up to the top of tortoise shell, he saw snail, you know what advice did the snail give to the ant?

Ans: Hold it tight, the tortoise is running very fast... :p

Then another one, which is also similar:

One day, when a snail was walking in the garden, then a tortoise passed by and accidentally stepped on the snail. Later the snail was sent to a hospital, when he woke up, the police asked him:" tell me what had happened to you?", the snail replied:" I don't know, everything was happened so fast!" lol

this is even funnier, but I think need to stay in Chinese:
乌龟受伤.让蜗牛去买药。过了2个小时.蜗牛还没回来。
乌龟急了骂道:他妈的再不回来老子就死了!
这时门外传来了蜗牛的声音:你他妈再说老子不去了!

wahahahahahahahaahhahaa

Double Rainbow

Can you see what I saw?

both of the rainbows were mirror image to each other

If you can't see it... it's just my skill problem, but my "best camera in the world" (our eyes) really saw this amazing phenomenon in a rainy morning when I was on my way to work.

Later in the journey, the other lighter rainbow has disappeared... but the other bolder rainbow became very bright!
Let's remember to appreciate we are living in a wonderful world, please be good to the world too.

The Rainbow Story
Author Unknown

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel: all claimed that they were the best, the most important, the most useful, the favorite.

Green said: "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, leaves, trees--without me, all animals would die. Look out over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."

Blue interrupted: "You only think about the Earth, but consider the sky and sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."

Yellow chuckled. "You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth to the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Ever time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me, there would be no fun."

Orange started next to blow her temper. "I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangos, and pawpaws. I don't hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."

Red could stand it no longer. He shouted out: "I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood! Life's blood. I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire to the blood! I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poppy and the poinsettia. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon!"

Purple rose up to his full height. He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am a sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me. They obey."

Finally, Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others but with just as much determination: "think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me, you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."

And so all the colors went on boasting and quarreling, each convinced of their own superiority. Soon, their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening! Thunder rolled and boomed! Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear drawing close to one another for comfort.

In the midst of the clamor, Rain began to speak: "You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don't you know you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me."

Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands. The rain continued: "From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of colors as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow."

And so, whenever a good rain washes the world and a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.

Where should I place the Smart Tac then?

This is very funny... I saw this @ AKLEH (Ampang - KL Elevated Highway), because I was stucked before the tol, when I looked around and I notice this signboard. I read it from up to bottom, English to Malay, vice versa, again and again, then I got confuse, so I'm raising this big big question mark to you - WHERE SHALL WE SUPPOSE TO PUT OUR SMART TAG?

And to the one who come out with these sentences, can you instead of putting "do not", can you please put "please put smart tag _________"? I would think this is more straight forward and easier to be understood by the reader. Law of attraction also mentioned ma, use positive word.

My Brand New June

In months, I'll enter another decade of my life. Before that, I had made an important decision, which is to go back to sales. Please do not ask me why, I am still finding the right words to say. But I know, I'm not a person who is good in climbing corporate ladder.

There are so much I want to say... especially during this time, season of missing... I can't be able to transform my feeling to word, only good friends know how terrible I feel, each and every time of this.

Keep things short, I will only write short descriptions to each of the photos...

Dad was holding a cempedak that he "steal" from a fruit's orchard

Dad's friend brough us to a kampung (I've forgotten the name of the village) for lunch... that's not a proper restaurant, in fact, it's a house and the owners serve their kampung chicken to visitors. The cempedak was from the orchard behind their house. My dad actually wanted to pay, but the couple (owners) refuse to accept, they said it's a token of appreciation for us... what a kind and warm couple.

---------------------------------------------

I knew this day will come, but I wouldn't expected it to come so soon...

Government decided to demolish Pudu Jail for development/ road widening.

It used to be a very famous and popular landmark in KL, it was there since I'm very very young, of course I understand, to keep an abandoned building in the middle of KL is not logical, but when news came to my eyes and ears, I feel bad... it's like seeing a childhood friend leaving the country, leaving you...

---------------------------------------

I'm lost in UMMC...

UMMC is one of the account I need to service... the first time I was there... ya, I'm lost... I was lucky because later on, I met an ex-colleague and I managed to get some very useful information from her.

Since I'm lost... and came to a canteen, so, while resting my feet... I played with my companion - camera...

My bag to work

- End of my report -

Misc...

Last couple of months, I've been traveling and flying intensively, to east coast, perlis, kedah... and because I'm leaving the company, I treasured each and every time I fly... airport will never be my favourite place, because em... I'm mostly alone, that place is too cold, not the temperature, but the overall feeling when I was there... maybe airport management should hire a clown or bring a circus in airport... hehe

I'm not a big fans to public transport, merely because in KL, it's more convinient to drive than stuffing yourself into a train or bus. However, I like taking KLIA transit to KLIA, it's convenient, fast and comfortable... a a, not doing any advertisement for them, but this is what I feel.

Do you see this train is coming my way or leaving?

sometimes, happy or sad, they are just divided by a thin line, broaden your view and you will definately see more...



A pair of good shoes is essential, because they will bring you farther. I like wearing this pair of shoes, they look pretty and good in my feet, but, they are not comfortable at all...
I don't like changes, yes, I got a very high tolerancy, easy to adapt, well, those are my strength I guess, but I'm also lazy to get use to new thing, people and place... However when there's time to change, although it might not be logical, you just have to follow your heart.

I feel sorry for my selfness, being so might hurt others, I just wish to stand strong to who I am. Wish me luck, lots of LUCK!!!

While Waiting...

Although Malaysia is a tropical country, I think we still have different "seasons", raining season (toward the end of the year), sunny season (around CNY), flower season (after CNY), fruiting season (after flower season)... If I can only choose a specific one that I like... I will choose fruiting season... it's very happy to see what you plant (effort that you put in) reward you with fruits. Of course not all flower can become a fruit... but at least, when you see flower, there's something you can look forward... some ppl like to be in "expecting" phase...

I think these are same species with different sex

I took these pictures while I was waiting for my ex-colleague to pass me company car @ UE3...

Sometimes, we just need to slow down to see what we have in hand, see, while waiting, I have the green and colourful flowers as company...

When is your last time appreciate wonderful stuff surrounding you?

Dangerous Lady Driver in Town

This year, I was trying to be extra extra careful when I was driving, because 1stly, early this year, most feng shui sifu on TV for CNY shows said that, ppl born in the year of Monkey will have a lot of traveling in work, higher rate of traveling = higher risk (yea, sometimes I'm quite 38 with fortune telling or feng shui), 2ndly, age catching up, I used to drive up to Perlis (northest state of penisular Malaysia) from KL (about 5 or 6 hours of drive), but now, even I drive from JB to KL (about 4 hours of drive), I nearly fell asleep half way.

But, one thing I can't help, when I saw something interesting in front of me/ nice view from the car side mirror, I always have the urge to snap down the scene/ view. So, I wonder, will the car next to me or in front or at the back of me report to police? hahaha

On my way to Ipoh from Taiping
Saw the rain pouring down in front of me, isn't it interesting?

On my way back home from office

Thanks to the radio, music and great natural painting by GOD, they are always my best companions on the road!!

人"望"高处 vs. 饮水思源

Sorry for English readers... this will be a Chinese post.

988每逢礼拜六有个节目叫B咖讨生活，其中有个单元叫B咖痞子论，DJ Joe和彪明就会拿一些我们生活中常面对到的矛盾点开话题。。。 例如：我们做事应该要三思而后行还是冲冲冲？这两位DJ的口才和学问不容置疑，他们的论点大都句句到肉，想要表达的并不是谁对谁错（我认为），只是我们这些受华文教育、自小被儒家思想熏陶的一群，常会因为找不到那所谓的“中庸”而开始乱了阵脚。

拍以下照片的时候我没有太多想法，只是觉得站在我家楼下往上看的这一幕非常吸引。（有人还曾经在这楼上不知何故想不开往下跳呢！）
站在我拍这一张照片的位子，往下看是一条小沟渠，然后是一条从警卫亭进入我们这个公寓的必经之道，在然后就是山坡和树林了。

我相当喜欢这张照片。。。原因不祥 （我常喜欢一样东西但不知所以然）。看着看着让我想到一个还蛮符合（我觉得）给B咖痞子论拿来开讲的话题（也不知道是否这话题曾出现过在节目中） - 人往高处 vs. 饮水思源

这矛盾让我烦恼了大概一个星期，后来我的决定 - 人往高处 （饮水思源我做过，但跌很伤，或许因为这样我选择前者）。
可能会有人质问我，“何谓高处？”，我认为，我的人生或许连自己都还未看清去向，难道让外人来为自己定位“高处”有好一点吗？

Cloudy Afternoon

Due to work, I got to do a day trip to JB.

It's a cloudy day and when I was travelling back, a sudden turbulence in the plan has waken me up and I thank God that I've finally landed safely in the airport.

When I was very very young, I've read a story, I can't remember the whole story but the little boy in the book described cloud like cotton candy, and I think he is right... I saw a lot of big and thick cotton candy floating in the sky... So, I smiled and felt not so scared anymore.

The Last Wisdom Tooth

My dentist already suggested me to remove this tooth before CNY. But you know, if I remove it before CNY, then I can't enjoy much food during CNY, right? So, right after CNY, I went to see him again... He said it can be removed without a surgery... So, there it goes...

so long... my wisdom tooth.

I have no idea where I got the courage to do that, because I had a very very terrible experience when I removed my previous wisdom tooth which was years back. And, this time, I'm facing it alone... Please give me a big clap!!

Sibu & Miri Trip (9 & 10.12.09)

It was a business trip. My operators treated me very good, bring me here and there to eat... and I had tried a lot of food that I never try before, e.g. steam olive, eat with black sauce and sugar, some wild vege which I don't even know what's their name... and fruit called "balak", I hope I spell it right...

1st time taking flocker (Sibu - Miri)

real scary and I'm quite sick after getting down

the "balak" that I'm refering

taste wise, quite good, not as sweet as jackfruit, but nice

this is not the normal durian, it's wild durian... very small in size but very easy to open, and it's seasonal too

the flesh is very very yellowish
