Found this online.. and i thought it’s an interesting read..

Two more aisles . . .

A man observed a woman in the grocery store with a three year old girl in her basket. As they passed the cookie section, the little girl asked for cookies and her mother told her no. The little girl immediately began to whine and fuss, and the mother said quietly, "Now Monica, we just have half of the aisles left to go through; don’t be upset. It won’t be long."

Soon they came to the candy aisle, and the little girl began to shout for candy. And when told she couldn’t have any, began to cry. The mother said, "There, there, Monica, don’t cry–only two more aisles to go, and then we’ll be checking out."

When they got to the check-out stand, the little girls immediately began to clamor for gum and burst into a terrible tantrum upon discovering there’d be no gum purchased. The mother patiently said, "Monica, we’ll be through this check out stand in 5 minutes and then you can go home and have a nice nap."

The man followed them out to the parking lot and stopped the woman to compliment her. "I couldn’t help noticing how patient you were with little Monica," he began. Whereupon the mother said, "I’m Monica . . . . . my little girl’s name is Tammy."

Oh.. on my trip from Singapore to London, I met someone famous on board! I have the honour of meeting Ronnie O’Sullivan, one of the world’s best Snooker player! Dressed very simply in t-shirt and pants, he doesn’t put on any airs and is very down-to-earth. Though I’m not a Snooker fan, I still feel kinda star-struck.. haha.. Anyway, I took a picture with him and got his autograph. yeah!

Yeah!! Ars 2 - 0 Juve.. 1st leg of the Quarter Finals of the Champions League. Seeing the way they play, it really feel great to be an Arsenal fan.. And I love their style of playing.

Anyway, I just came back from London.. visited Highbury and went to catch a glimpse of the Emirates Stadium.. and WOW! It’s very grand.. very chio! Totally different from Highbury.. though I like Highbury too.. it gives me a very cosy and homey feeling.. You can see the pictures of the stadium in my Arsenal album.

FYI, the nearest tube station to Highbury and Emirates Stadium is the Arsenal Station.. isn’t it great to have a tube station named after ur team? Not all teams have the honour wor.. And if you look at the pictures in my album, you can see that the tunnel in the tube station is filled with pictures of Arsenal.. they are drawn to honour Highbury.. as Arsenal played their last season there. :) 

And as usual, I bought some stuff from the Arsenal shop. I got myself a keychain which contains a few blades of grass from the turf of Highbury Stadium.. hee.. Got myself an Official Arsenal album too.. haha.. and also 2 bears.. and a jacket! Hmm.. spent more than 50 pounds but i’m happy with my buy.

Met a b*tch or a b*stard at work? in school? or anywhere else? Just treat them like mad dogs barking.. Here’s a drink dedicated for all the b*tches & b*stards in the world..

Sigh.. just finished watching a korean drama series, called 悲伤恋歌 or Sad Love Song. Very sad but very nice. It’s currently showing on SCV but I can’t wait to watch it week by week.. so i bought the series. 

Sad Love Song is highly emotional and things can get tearful. I do recommend it for everyone who loves a bittersweet love story. Watch this one with a box of tissues and be prepared to feel sad.

Sad Love Song, just as the drama name suggests, delivers a tragic storyline about three characters; through their passion to launch careers in the music industry, their lives are intertwined by fate within the intricate nature of love and friendship.

As a boy growing up, Seo Jun-young (Kwon Sang-woo) hates his social status of being the prostitute’s son. He is ashamed of being raised by his single mother (Na Young-hee), who owns a pub at the American army’s base area. Humiliated with the endless teasing, insults and bullying at school, Jun-young is frequently involved in fights with his peers. All until he meets Park Hye-in, who showers him with love and diverts his attention to develop his musical talent of becoming a promising composer.

Park Hye-in (Kim Hee-sun) is Seo Jun-young’s childhood sweetheart. A tragic infancy resulted Hye-in losing her parents, and then she suffered the loss of her eyesight during a severe illness. Seo Jun-young, as her classmate, first started to help out Hye-in by the request of their teacher. However, within time, Hye-in and Jun-young build a strong bond of friendship that blossoms into everlasting love. Hye-in was raised by her aunt, Audrey (Jin Hee-kyung), who works at the pub owned by Jun-young’s mother. She inherited her mother’s beautiful voice and enjoys playing the piano with hopes of becoming a renowned singer.

Seo Jun-young’s best friend is Lee Gun-woo (Yeon Jung-hoon). They met in the occasion of a bizarre misunderstanding which led to a violent fight between the boys. After Lee Gun-woo and Seo Jun-young beat the crap out of each other, both of them eventually formed a special bond and developed a close friendship during high school. Lee Gun-woo is the heir of his father’s successful telecommunications business company in South Korea. The loss of his mother during childhood has impacted Gun-woo’s life, which causes him to distrust love. He is a bit rebellious towards his father’s requests, as he has an ambitious dream of starting his own music production company.

Seo Jun-young is a tragic character in this drama. His only love, Park Hye-in, continues to be separated from him, while he suffers through a series of misfortunate events without her. He gets a new identity as Choi Jun-kyu, while he lives with his father (Lee Young-ha) in Seoul, for high school registration purposes. During some of the lowest point in his teenage life, his friendship with Lee Gun-woo and Jang Jin-pyo (Mc Mong) alleviate some of his distress.

When Park Hye-in’s aunt, Audrey, decides to marry her American boyfriend and seek a new life in New York, Hye-in unwillingly leaves Jun-young to be with her aunt. Life in America turns out to be a complete nightmare. Audrey’s abusive husband leaves Hye-in and Audrey to seek another refuge, whilst Audrey looks aimlessly for means of employment to finance their trip back to South Korea.

Coincidently, Lee Gun-woo comes to New York to further his studies at Princeton. Fate brings Park Hye-in to meet Lee Gun-woo at Central Park; it is love at first sight for Gun-woo. He instantly becomes a saviour to Audrey’s problems. He helps Hye-in to land singing gigs at a jazz club, finances Hye-in’s eye surgery and loves Hye-in with all his heart. He even assists Jun-young to visit New York, in hopes of helping Jun-young find his girlfriend. The attempt fails through a drug trafficking mix-up and Jun-young, destined to be apart from Hye-in, is sent back to South Korea immediately.

Hye-in’s life falls apart when she loses touch with Jun-young and receives a false informed letter about Jun-young’s death. Lee Gun-woo stands by her through her depressed days, suicide attempts, and Hye-in still passionately lingers onto her first love, Jun-young, who lives in her heart. In the meantime, Gun-woo actively pursues Hye-in, and proposes to her.

Upon the completion of his studies, Lee Gun-woo returns to South Korea with Park Hye-in, and Gun-woo proudly brings Hye-in to visit his best friend, Seo Jun-young (whom he knew as Choi Jun-Kyu from high school). At the first sight of Park Hye-in and Lee Gun-woo together, Seo Jun-young’s heart sinks to rock bottom. The turmoil follow suit for all three characters, at the crossroads of choosing love or friendship, depicts one of the saddest melodramas…

Well.. after hearing some answers, I suppose it’s normal that different people would make different choices.. some prefer her to be beautiful in the day and some in the night.. ONLY our dear Wei Meng is so greedy to want her to be beautiful both in the day n night! *rolling my eyes*

Nevertheless.. read on..

..Noble Gawain replied that he would let her choose for herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time, because he had respected her and had let her be in charge of her own life.

What is the moral of the story?

The moral is that it doesn’t matter if a woman is pretty or ugly, smart or dumb. Underneath it all, she’s still a . . . . . witch!!! =P

Found this online… and find that it’s pretty interesting..

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur’s youthful happiness. So he offered him freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur, would have a year to figure out the answer. If, after a year, he still had no answer, he would be killed.

The question was: What do women really want? Such a question would have perplexed even the most knowledgeable man, and, to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. Since it was better than death, however, he accepted the monarch’s proposition to have an answer by year’s end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everybody; the princess, the prostitutes, priests, the wise men, and the court jester. In all, he spoke with everyone but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. What most people did tell him was to consult the old witch, as only she would know the answer. The price would be high as the witch was famous for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no alternative but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer his question, but he’d have to accept her price; the old witch wanted to marry Gawain, the most noble of the Knights of the Round table and Arthur’s closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified, she was hunchbacked and awfully hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like a sewer and often made obscene noises. He had never run across such a repugnant creature. He refused to force his friend to marry her and to have to endure such a burden.

Gawain upon learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He told him that nothing was too big a sacrifice compared to Arthur’s life and the preservation of the Round table. Hence, their wedding was proclaimed, and the witch answered Arthur’s question.

What a woman really wants is to be able to be in charge of her own life.
Everyone instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur’s life would be spared. And so it went. The neighboring monarch spared Arthur’s life and granted him total freedom.

What a wedding Gawain and the witch had! Arthur was torn between relief and anguish. Gawain was proper as always, gentle and courteous. The old witch put her worst manners on display. She ate with her hands, belched and farted, and made everyone uncomfortable. The wedding night approached: Gawain, steeling himself for a horrific night, entered the bedroom. What a sight awaited! The most beautiful woman he’d ever seen lay before him! Gawain was astounded and asked what had happened.

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she’d been a witch, half the time she would be her horrible, deformed self. And the other half, she would be her beautiful maiden self. Which would,he want her to be during the day and which during the night? What a cruel question! Gawain began to think of his predicament.
During the day a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his home, an old spooky witch? Or would he prefer having by day a hideous witch, but by night a beautiful woman to enjoy many intimate moments.

What would you do?
