"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
I heard of this proverb before but I didn't know there is a brilliant follow-up to it! lol...
"All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy."
Well, I would rather be a mere toy than a dull boy. :)
And one more, the cynical version: "All work and no play makes Jack. And plenty of it." XD
(Jack here is a slang used metaphorically to mean $$$)

6 Great Management Lessons
Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.
Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel, "
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2:
A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"
The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129 It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."
Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."
"Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."
Puff! She's gone.
"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life."
Puff! He's gone.
"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 4:
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"
The eagle answered: "Sure , why not."
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson 5:
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey,” but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.
They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
Lesson 6:
A little bird was flying south for the Winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.
The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Morals of this story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth
shut!
Great lessons indeed. XD
Haunting Questions
Hahaha...I wonder.How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'... but it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why do doctors leave the room while you change?
They're going to see you naked anyway. HAHAHAWhy is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural?
If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window? Erm...why?
Philosophy of Love
Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.
Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear. T_T
Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.
What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the
person who made you cry?If love isn't a game, why are there so many players?
Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.
A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.
Best friends are the siblings God forgot to give us.
When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look
beside you and your best friend will be there.Good friends are like stars....you don't always see them, but you know they
are always there.Don't frown, you never know who is falling in love with your smile. :)
Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end.
Most people walk in and out of your life, but only friends leave footprints
in your heart.A kiss is just a kiss, until you find the one you love.
A hug is just a hug, until it's from the one you're thinking of.
A dream is just a dream, until you make it come true.
Love is just a word until it's proven to you.
Send this on to everyone special in your life, even the people who really
make you mad sometimes. Remember, every minute spent angry is sixty seconds of happiness wasted.
Recently I find that philosophy can be real interesting. I feel lazy to forward this email. So, I guess posting it here won't be a bad way to share some LOVE. <3>

Survivor: Cirie FTW !!!
Let's talk about my favourite TV show here, Survivor.
The thing is that I can hardly discuss this amazing show with any friends in real life because they don't watch Survivor. -_- Some stop watching when NTV7 didn't broadcast the last two episodes of Survivor 9: Vanuatu. That's ridiculous. Luckily, as a faithful fan, I got to continue following Survivor through MediaCorp's Channel 5. For the records, NTV7 missed Survivor 10 and somehow Survivor was back on NTV7 with Season 11 and 12. However, because of the "multi-racial" twist on Survivor 13 and 14, NTV7 cancelled airing them. Recently, Survivor 15: China is just too awesome not to be aired on NTV7.
While NTV7 is still airing Survivor China at 10:45pm every Saturday night, the 16th season of the show, Survivor: Micronesia (Fans VS Favs) is coming to an end already tomorrow. Jeff Probst didn't overhype it. The newest season started out weak but all the post-merge TCs have been insane and they're unbelievably entertaining. LOL...
A classic example is attached below:
By the way, I noticed that those even number seasons always end on the second week of Sunday, i.e. Mother's Day. Okay, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all mothers Happy Mother's Day! :)
Back to Micronesia, with only 4 girls left in the game, I can't freaking wait to find out who wins. No one is sure of who will win in the battle of "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast".
As mentioned in the title, I'm rooting for Cirie Fields, the Goddess of Survivor. If she really wins, I would be so happy. ^_^ If not, I'd definitely feel a bit let down. Cirie, you'd better win the whole thing. I won't mind though if Parvati wins instead as she played a solid game too. She's the hottest girl out there but I still wish they could have replaced Parvati Shallow with Candice Woodcock. <3
I like the last fan standing, Natalie/Catalie/Ratalie but in my opinion, she won't be a worthy winner. As for Amanda, she was only on the show as one of the "favorites" after both Courtney Yates and Peih-Gee Law declined the casting offer. Nevertheless, Amanda has proved herself to be somewhat memorable in the late game. I hope she doesn't make it to Day 39 in Micronesia. and I don't want to see her winning for it would suck so bad.
Go Cirie! I can't wait to watch the season finale to witness more Cirieownage!

Songs that I'm currently addicted to...
- Gone by Kelly Clarkson
- Piece of Me (PoM) by Britney Spears
- Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis
- Believe Me by Fort Minor
- 柠檬草的味道-蔡依林
I am addicted to these songs recently; have been listening to them for God knows how many times. But I know sooner or later, they'll be replaced by other addictive songs in my 千千静听 playlist.
One good thing about listening to music is that it prevents me from overthinking. So, just keep listening...

One or two years ago, I remember I did set up a blog. I used to write diary too. But typically, I don't keep doing the same thing for too long. once I got bored with it in a short time, I would stop.
Now even our beloved gov officers are having their own blogs too. Bravo! With everyone talking about blogs, I am so tempted to create a personal blog to express myself. Also, I wish those who really care about me would be able to read my nonsenses to get into my mind, my heart and my soul. lol...
My God, it's almost 5am already and I'm still awake. This is me, I sleep late and wake up late. I know it's really bad for health but I just can't get rid of this bad habit. Haiz...
Recently, I am bothered by a lot of things. I don't know how to put my mixed feelings into words. I just feel a bit depressed and I don't really know why. What's wrong with me? I guess my mum is right, I'm getting more insane as time goes by. >.<
Today is my mum's birthday. Her birthday is always around Mother's Day. I should do something to make her happy, shouldn't I? Sadly, most probably I won't do anything right to please her. She would be angry if I don't finish the book keeping job that she assigned to me months ago. I hate myself for my inefficiency. But what to do when you waste all your time with computer.
As what many people said, my mother is really a wonder woman. Happy 51st Birthday! I love you, Mama! (I have never ever sincerely said that to her. You know lar, being expressive isn't part of our eastern cultures. hehe...I love you too, Papa, in case you're jealous!)
Okay, I'd better lay on the bed now. I have to get a few things done by tomorrow. Grrr...
