Jingle Bells



Dashing through the snow,
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the hills we go,
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.

Chorus:
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh!


Was channel surfing just now. There was this program featuring an 'old' band called Wynners. In case you were wondering who they are, well they happen to be a chinese band quite famous during the 70s. Hongkie band that is. One of the songs that they sang on that show was Jingle Bells. Here is Jingle Bells, the cantonese version:

Jingle Bells (Cantonese version)

Hor pin yau chek yong (By the river there's a goat)
Hor pin yau chek cheung (By the river there's an elephant)
Hor pin yau chek ma lau chai (By the river there's a lil monkey)
Hou chee lei kor yong (Which looks a lot like you)


Chorus:
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh!

Fort Horsey


Have you ever seen horses on a fort? What would your reaction be if you see horses on a fort? Stare at them in the eye and ask " What are you horsies doing on the fort?"

Believe me. I didn't know they rare horses in the fort. I was in town a couple of days back in search for something to fill my stomach. We were entering the car park when I saw something moving on the fort. Took a closer look. Lo and behold. They they were grazing away. Three of them. Khakied coloured ponies. Maybe they are old horses which happens to be small in size. I don't know. But it was rather surprising to find them on the fort. In case you were wondering which fort I am talking about, I am referring to Fort Cornwallis. Not too sure if it's spelled with a single 'l' or double 'l'.

I got excited. Took out my phone and tried to snap a picture of the horses. But the scorching sun was too glaring. Could hardly see a thing. On top of that, my phone's camera is not very sharp. Too bad I didn't have a camera with me. Anyway when I tried to take a photograph of the ponies. The leader (khakied coloured with black err...mane?....hair....) stared at me. The look in his eye told me to put my phone away or he will jump on me. Crushing me and turning me into hay.

I looked back at him telling him with my eyes " You're not that cute after all. Barely there compared to a stallion." Put my phone away and walked off.

Too Big?

I bought a bag in August. Nothing very extraordinary. Not flashy. Just thought that it would be big enough for me to stuff all my stuff into it, leaving my hands free to dangle.The bag is called 'Bowl me over'. I only realised that when cutting the tag. There were three colours to choose from. Black, White and Pink. Initially I wanted to get the white but on second thought whites get dirty easily. So skip. The pink one was kinda catchy. Bright electric pink. But doesn't go well with all colours. Know what I mean. Like clothes. You can't carry an electric pink bag all the time. It won't match all colours. Besides the season for pink won't last long. Under the orange lighting your judgement for colours is inaccurate. Pink might look nice under orange lighting but might not under white lighting. So settled. Got the black one.

I carried my bag into the library. There's a stupid rule in my library that is you cannot carry bags into the library. They fear the precious books will get stolen. The thing is how can anyone steal a book when there's a bar code attached to the book? Before the person could even walk out with the book the alarms would go off. Secondly, who would want to steal old books? Anyway, back to the story. I was standing there, in the library looking at the magazine rack when the librarian walked passed me. He pointed at me and said " No bags". I replied "That's my handbag." The librarian said " Too big." He gave a throaty laugh and walked away. Anyway here are some pics for you people to judge. Is it really big?

This is how it looked when purchased.




This is how I carry it around.





Up close on the accessory.





A better view.

Crab





A very active crab trying to run away from the cooking pot.





The crab finally being cornered.





Just to show the size of the crab.





Crab overturned. Just for knowledge, it's a male.

Holy shower before the sacrifice.

Name Decoded

Quadruplets

There was a bunch of girls whom I met during my freshman year in college. A nasty bunch as a matter of fact. Especially the leader. Anyway, that's a story for another day. We were in the same group for several assignments. During a meeting for one of the assignments, the girls were yakking about something. It was regarding babies.

This girl is the nasty leader's sidekick or should I say the right-hand man (woman in this case but I don't think that's such thing as right-hand woman). Anyway this girl said something that till this day still amazes me. She was commenting on something about producing twins and so on. Then suddenly she said "FOURPLET". It really stunned me.

Given that this girl hail from a school renown for it's english proficiency. Such a powerful term came from her. It's just ....well astonishing. Fourplet. Why didn't the poeple thought of that when coming up with terms for a "group" of babies conceived and born at the same time. (Of course not literally. We all know that it is not possible for all the babies to come out from the uterus at the same time. Not even through a c-section.)

Well the new discovery. This is how we are supposed to call them. The list below lists how the "group" of babies should be call according to the numbers conceived.

Two babies conceived in the same pregnancy = Twoplet

Three babies conceived = Triplet

Four babies = Fourplet

Five babies = Fiveplet

Six babies = Sixplet



That's really easy. Thanks girl. You Rawk!!!


(* In case you are wondering what I'm talking about Fourplet = quadruplets. Just in case you are as surprised as I was.)

Butterfly.

To catch a butterfly, you have to be be gentle. If you grab it too hard, you'll crush it. Likewise if you don't hold it when it lands on your hand, it will fly away.

A butterfly is a very deceitful creature. Tantalising people with it's beautiful colours. Trying to attract attention all the time. Seducing people to look at it by flying into their faces, flapping their wings like there's no tomorrow. Apart from that, it also has a very bad character. It never stays loyal. Hopping from flower to flower. Sucking all the nectar with all it's might to quench it's neverending lust and "thirst". It also causes massive destruction. Leaving behind it's next of kin for vengence. Eating into the lives of plants that gave it life support. That's the way they repay those who have been good to them.

Notice any resemblance between the butterfly and the human life? A butterfly is like a man. Cheating on all the ladies. Taking advantage and using the weaker sex for their own benefit. Hopping from one female to another. After that leaving behind their seeds to eat into the lives of the poor girl who let them in.

I say crush the butterfly and spray them with bug spray.

Pet


This guy was lonely, and decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede which came in a little white box to use for his house.

He took the box back home, found a good location for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet for a walk. So he asked the pet, "Would you like to go for a walk?"

But there was no answer from his new pet. This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "How about going for a walk with me?"

But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his face up against the centipede's house and shouting, "Hey, in there! Would you like to go for a walk with me?"

A little voice came out of the box: "I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my shoes."

Pre-School Talk

Went to dinner straight from college at 8pm just now. Sat next to a table with three ladies and a kid. The kid was sulking and sitting with his side to the back of the chair facing me. Then I overheard the following:


Mother: What colour you want? You want black pau?

Son: Yes.


Not long after a friend of his mother came over. Greeted them then asked the boy:

Mother's friend: Can give me eat?


* All my life I have never known of the existance of a black coloured pau. The paus that I know of are char siew pau, kaya pau, tausar pau, tai pau.

Sometimes it is better to converse with the kids in the toungue that you are familiar with rather than teaching them the wrong command of language. What both adults are doing are literal translation from the hockien dialect. More over there is no such thing as black pau. Imagine the kid when he's big enough to order his own food "Black pau".
