Looking at the current situation in Thailand, I'm beginning to wonder whether there's any hope for us to ever fly out to Malaysia for the holidays or not. Things doesn't seem too promising at the moment with the airport closed and all that ruckus going on. I'm so fed up with all of this! When will it ever end?! Read all about it here !
One morning a long-wed couple were in an amourous embrace and the wife says: "Honey, that Viagra is so wonderful, let me fix us a nice full breakfast... eggs, bacon, toast..." The husband says: "No, I'm not hungry, the viagra takes away my appetite."
Later in the day, the wife says: "Sweetheart, I want to do something for you, let me fix you a nice wholesome lunch, fresh salad with your favorite ingredients, steamed veggies, and some grilled fish fillets..."
The husband again refuses, "I'm just not hungry after using that viagra."
Long about dinner time, the wife tries again, "Are you hungry yet?, I'll fix a steak and potatoes dinner with hot rolls."
The husband still refuses, "No, that Viagra just kills my appetite."
The wife then firmly says "well, I'm getting something to eat, so get OFF of me!!!"
I'm not quite sure why kids nowadays don't really hold back what they plan to say. They just fire away without considering what others especially adults would react to it. Or are they just being themselves...kids. The other day, while doing my after school tutorial, my girl student who is in grade 1 asked me a question that I was really not preapared for.
Student: Mr. Rodney, what do you call that thing down there that my brother have? (pointing her finger down there)
Me: Hmm? What is that?
Student: That thing. The one that my brother have. You have it too.
Ouch! Where was she going with this question?
Me: Ummph...I don't think you should know about that now. Wait till you are a little bit bigger. (obviously I don't know how to handle this & that was my best answer)
And amazingly, she bought it. Thank goodness I managed to distract her from asking that question again.
The same thing happened to my missus the other day. Well, not on the same topic though. Still, it's about kids who don't hold back what they have to say. My missus was telling one of her students to sit down. Instead of going back to his seat this student suddenly told her this, "Teacher, you are fat!" Both of us giggled when she shared that story with me. "Sigh" kids...kids. I hope my missus will not be surfing for fat burners product soon.
This is an update on my previous post about us moving to our new place. Well, previously I mentioned that we were supposed to move in to this place to help this one Korean family right? That didn't work out! They decided to stay,but we still need to move out! Darn! Our whole plan was ruined again. We were already thanking God for giving us the chance to help out this Korean family and at the same time be able to save up/pay less for the rent. We're back to square one! Anyway, after a lot of thinking and talking with our landlord, finally the final decision was made. We'll be moving to the big room just right across our old place. This time to prevent from any last minute changes, our landlord forced us (well in a good way though...I think) to sign an early agreement. I hope it will stay that way until we move in to our new place. Cross your fingers everyone!
Recently, three of my students got sick around the same week. They were down with fever for quite a few days before coming back to school. I also heard that a student in the toddler section contracted the HFM (Hands, Foot & Mouth) disease. As a result of that the whole toddler class enjoyed a five days holiday. Schucks! Why didn't they close the school instead?! So, that everyone can rest for a few days just to be on the safe side. Well, I don't think they want to do that because we're almost at the end of the term. I hope nothing will happen to the rest of the students. I think this is the perfect time to consider on getting a health insurance! Don't you guys think so?
Lately we have been in and out on the issue of moving apartments. Well, it's not only one apartment involved but lets just several. We got a really good deal on one apartment close to our workplace but when we were closed to moving in, there were other complication which was out of our control. With heavy hearts, we gave up on our dream (actually Hobbit wife has been dreaming about it a lot) home and decided to continue staying at our present place just that we have to move to a different room. The owner of our current place has currently sold the apartment and now we were recommended and were given several options. This is where problems kicked in. Options sometimes is not a good thing. Long story short, by the end of the month, we were required to move into a bigger apartment but only stay for 4 months in order to help a Korean family cover up and get their deposit. After four months, we were recommended another nice place. The thing is, how many other choices would be given to us after four months? Before settling on helping the Koreans out, we were actually given another place which we liked so much but later was told that it was already rented to somebody. Why recommend us in the first place? Wilmington NC real estate as we call our tenant friend, wanted us to just buy a place and persuaded like parrot but still, he failed to impress us. We need more than that of a real estate story!
Too sleepy to do anything. Been sleeping late lately due to work and settling some stuff at home. Thanks for those who forwarded me these jokes. They entertained me for a while and here I am resorting to work again. Counting days has long been gone for me. Time moves too fast I could hardly catch it. So here, slow down while you can...and enjoy! :)

"That's great, Sweetheart," said her daddy. "Come in to the living room and tell me about it." "Well, "began the confession, "I got 50 in spelling, 30 in math's and 20 in science."
Yes! I'm at it again! Lately, I'm soo... into watching two great TV shows! Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles & Knight Rider. These two shows are super cool! Love both of them and can't stop myself from downloading them whenever I have the chance to do so! Looking forward to watch more soon!
I need to get sports gifts since one of our colleague is leaving. However, I have hard time choosing what to give. Any idea? Well, this guy who is leaving is really into sports and everyone is hunting sports gifts too! What if we happen to buy the same thing? I guess I just have to pick something today and head home. Well, lets see what are my options...Here are some cool stuff I found and they look interesting. However, I doubt I can get these from here.

This year I’m going on a diet! In prayer and humility. I’m going to reject those enticing spoonfuls of impatience, indifference, intolerance, criticism; Refuse to take part in bouts of depression, ingratitude, selfishness.
Instead
my diet includes unlimited amounts of quiet patience, true compassion, bubbling joy, deep understanding, unending forgiveness, unconditional love. These can be taken at any time of the day in quantities that are as large as possible! I’m going to exercise, too – my God-given authority – to see, feel, and act rightly. not just a ten-minute exercise, but continuously, hourly, every minute – a moment-by-moment mental s t r e t c h i n g – each day more than I did the day before. In this way the true outline, the embodiment of elegant balance, perfect proportion, the Soul-filled harmony of God’s being will be seen as me.
