My Dinner Made Me Guilty

I had a super dinner last night
Complete with some fine wine.
Peter went to bed hungry
Because a job he could not find.

I started with a large plate of soup
And a salad with crab meat.
John and his family were so poor
They ate the scabs off their feet.

Then came my main course
A steak done medium rare.
Mark sat around an empty table
For days, his cupboards bare.

For dessert I had ice cream
Together with a lucious chocolate cake.
Martha and her husband couldn't even afford
To buy any flour to bake.

These people will still be hungry tomorrow
I didn't think of them when i paid my bill.
But what i alone had eaten that night
All their stomachs i could fill...

Whatever people think of you is none of your business.

The Word

There're a very limited few words in the english vocabulary that can describe as much as the word fuck. I think there was an article written on this before so i hope i'm not plagiarizing.

Yesterday i was at the bar with a few friends watching the ManU-Birmingham game. One of them commented that Arse had beaten Everton 6-1 the night before. Not Arse fans, we naturally went "yea...we heard that score...oh fuck..." More like in resignation...

Subsequently after the game started, Birmingham nearly scored in the early stages and the non-manure fans around us went "OH FUCK!! How did that stay out???" It was in disbelief.

Then a minute later, manure nearly scored and we went "Oh fuck! That was a bit of luck!" This was in relief.

But then, the inevitable happened...manure scored..."OH FUCK!! I can't believe that went in like that!!" This time in anguish.

Then towards the end of the game, Birmingham nearly scored again so..."OH FUCK!! The keeper actually got a glove to that!!" In amazement.

This morning...I found out that Liverpool lost. "OH FUCK!! THEY LOST?!??" Bewilderment.

Then i read Rafa's comments that there should have been a penalty at the end. "Oh fuck...there he goes again with his excuses." Indignation.

And i do believe that this word is understood all over the world.

In Thailand while shopping "HOW MUCH?!? ARE YOU FUCKING CHEATING ME???"

In Egypt while on the streets "Stop harrassing me!! Fuck off!"

In Vietnam while learning how to cross the road from the locals "Whoa?? i have to do that?? Oh fuck..."

In England in a pub "Another pint?? Fuck yea!! Bring it on."

In America "Singapore is not in China you dumb fuck!"

In Iraq "Fuuuuuuuuck...incoming!!!!"

In Japan while enjoying sashimi "Aaaah fuck...this is nice." (also can be used in Thailand....)

So if ever you need to teach english to a foreign friend, this would be The Word to teach first. No single word can express itself so eloquently in so many forms.

Here's wishing you two a fucking great day. Hope none of those fuckers come bothering you today but if they do, i hope you fuck them up real good.

Time and Kids

Ever felt like time has just evaporated? In the blink of an eye, another month is over. So much time has passed, so many things have changed and yet nothing has changed. I'm still sitting here as i have been for the past year. I've still got my old laptop, wearing the same clothes, staying in the same house, driving the same car, eating the same food. And yet...1 year has passed.

Adults used to tell me when i was a kid that i had to know where i wanted to go to in life. I had to chart my course. But of course i was too young to understand that. Even now, i find it difficult to know where i want to be in 5 or 10 years time. Shit, i dont even know where i want to go at 6pm later.

Don't you miss being a kid? It's funny how a kid wants to be a grown up...but when you're an adult, you yearn to be a kid. The grass is greener on the other side blah blah. I miss being a kid. I hated exams and homework and getting up at 6 in the morning that sort of thing but i still miss being a kid. Fun times...

ADFGAFAW

Yea...don't know what to put in the tite again...so i just decided to randomize it.

I got a comment from you in the previous post but i have no idea how to reply to that (my childhood days were spent catching grasshoppers and pouring salt on snails). Anyway i wanted to say that as far as i know, only the 2 of you are reading all this drivel that i'm putting up so everytime i mention 2 girls, you know who you are.

I'm hooked on this new PS3 game that i bought. And happily, Jo's discovered a website where she can watch all the korean serials she wants on her laptop. This is very very good because (a) I can play my game without Jo dancing in front of the TV. (b) i can play my game without Jo complaining that she's bored. (c) i can play my game without Jo trying to cover my eyes every 3 secs. (d) i can play my game without Jo blowing into my ear every 2 secs. (e) i can play my game without Jo asking me what I'm doing every 1 sec. (f) i can play my game without Jo using her teddy bear to tickle my nose. (g) We can delay buying a 2nd TV for the bedroom (save money)! But the late nights are getting to me...i'm now constantly tired in the day and the many cups of coffee aren't helping. I think i need to take it easy for a while. I'll start again tomorrow. Anyway i promised to go shopping with Jo tonight.

It's 5.40pm. Is it my clock or does the aircon no longer shut down at 6? It seems to shut down a little later everyday now...is it our management's sneaky way of getting us to work longer? By adding 1/2 min everyday, it'll be about 180 mins at the end of the year...so at this rate, one day we'll all be working till 9 and not even know it...cheeky bastards!

But in line with this devilish management plan, I've just had an idea...what if we move some schmuck's cubicle wall in by a little bit everyday? We keep making it smaller and smaller day by day until one day his arse gets stuck. The brilliant thing is if we do it gradual enough, he'll probably not notice at all. Great huh?!?
