child's point of view.
child's point of view
HAIR
"Why is there hair on your legs, Daddy? (while Dad pondered for the most
scientific answer, child adds:
Is there no space on your head for the hair to grow?"
NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a Woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!
HONESTY
My son Zachary, 4, came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he'd dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw it in the garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to my bathroom and came out with my toothbrush. He held it up and said with a harming little smile, "We better throw this one out too then, 'cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.
OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother. The note read, "The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents."
KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup to come out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone "It's the minister, Mommy," the child said to her mother. Then she added, "Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle."
MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The
>>little boy watched in amazement and then asked, "What's the matter haven't you ever seen a little boy before?"
ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. The various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"
DRESS-UP
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit." "And why not, darling?" the afther
asked.
"You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning."
DEATH
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayer s and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his Father always said:
"Glory be unto the Faaaather, and unto the Sonnn .. and into the hole he gooooes."
SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't write and they won't let me talk!"
BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found", the boy called out.
" What have you got there, dear?"
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear"

what a nite!~
what a day really..well..xbox was great..beat jq in 2 straights sets 4-3(9-7), 4-3(10-8) at last! haha..been losing in singles in top spin to him heh. well..i've decided to get a xbox and a top spin and sit at home to play the career mode. its really quite fun..! but before that was 'wimbeldon' which i thot was a rather good show, thot the leads played their parts well..nice story but well abit on the plain but for such a show, the (tennis) action on it was good :) made me more inspired to play :P
so after that jq had to go dental so i went to meet alex up at far east and having the time, decided to walk to far east (on hindsight and hindleg it was a bad choice). got there in 15 mins (?) and then met up with him and his classmates (don't remember much, cept that his two other guy classmates were quite funny..) walked ard "level one" and well..beside it being chick/ah lian haven, it was eye-candy haven too i guess..got really bored while one of his gal classmates was trying on some tops..then jq came and i left with him to go meet lisa at cine. heh..now why it was a bad choice..cuz we speed-raced like in nfsu (in heavy human traffic) thru orchard mrt-wisma-taka then to cine..bumped into a couple of pple haha oops..(so sorry!)
so after meeting her and then the two of them deciding on where to watch 'white chicks' (they couldn't decide to stay at cine or go ps) then we moved off to ps (thank goodness we didn't walk..) by train..then they couldn't get tix to white chicks even though we tried the automated machines and stuff. then they went back to the counter and tried to get tix for resident evil instead and guess what, they got the same counter guy and lo and behold someone had let go of 3 tix (in a row summore) for that white chicks, not 5 mins before. so they got the tix to their show..then i had to run off to marina south to hitch a ride from gay-lvin and meet the idiot. got the car and then tried to find the superbowl and the recommended bbq-steamboat. so we more or less found it but had to wait for the old dinosaur to come. so we walked ard into the arcades, and then found cue & q, which turned out to be a lil snooker haunt (for ahbengs) but they had a couple of ok pool tables at the back so we took one of them and just decided to play. heh guess what..using the house cues provided..i broke clear on one of the racks! :P so happy! =D haha..and the shots i was pulling off..i dunnoe how i did them but it just came. we stopped after an hour after the bumbling fossil came and had a couple of racks.
the food was great..heh..ate our fill and had live prawns! literally, jumping haha..lots of crap-talking thru the food and man, if we had only bothered to film it..i tell you..the jokes we can come up with..would be in one word, incredible. anyways the joke of the night is this. cuz of we had live prawns (which were live and jumping in the container) we cooked some and then westin passed one of the cooked ones over the container to show the live ones 'their impending fate' and the prawns really did become more agitated even trying to jump out (from this we know that prawns are brainless or blind cuz the container was closed) and then like this especially lively one, which galvin took and and said that since it liked to move so much, it would go into the pot first! promptly dumped it in and alex was suggesting that we put it in lower part first. thats when westin said that we would all prob get nightmares abt trying to escape a closed container, then a pair of giant chopsticks would take us up and we would see a gigantic king prawn who would say, "hmmms i think i will try to put you in legs first". aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
well..went back to far east to meet lisa, dawn and mini-maximized-me..told me the movie was good. makes me wanna download it more :P then sat down and chit-chatted abit before heading for home by train. saw this scene that touched my heart. saw this blind beggar selling tissue paper in the middle of a crossing, when this caucasian stopped by with a drink and started a conversation with him, offering him the drink. well was really impressed. kudos to that guy. respect.
and well..while i missed csi, i caught sg idol and well can't agree why its such a popular show. feels its really quite screwed up show. basically..unlike 'the apprentice', 'the bachelor/bachelorette', 'amazing race' or even the bimbotic 'top model', this is basically a popularity contest where simply the most votes from the viewers would win, instead of from the judges. so its like really screwed up to me. like the most undeserving guy could actually walk off with the title..so unfair!
anyways thanks to galvin, alex and westin for the night. it was fantastic!

then had supper at al azhar and talked abt a lot of stuff haha..quite fun to have supper with pple who like to talk and share their views heh. so in the midst, we decided (or rather esther suggested) to go night cycling..currently still in the planning but day has been decided heh. destination prob east coast to catch the morning sun (hope it doesn't rain! *crosses fingers*) so cool..then got a lift back and then after a nice shower, here i am sitting regalling you abt my day.
so quite cool huh? sorta have my week planned out now..

another sports day
skipped work to play badminton..was a bit disappointed that the turn out was so poor..wells..improper planning i guess and like didn't manage to confirm the number.. but it wasn't that bad. paired up with johan after my p'rdner pangsehd (!!) me for his friend..but we won 2 sets to 1 in the end :P played singles too, beat johan one set, lost to zy 2-1 and lost to his friend another set..but can't be helped they're really good..and i'm just old and losing mobility :d
decided to skip the ept ranking for soccer cuz its been too long that i've gone without soccer and meeting my soccer mates.. but had to cut my hair first haha..so rushed here and there cuz i got informed of soccer late.. but it was good.. scored a couple (and all in the heart of thepocket goal! :) basically quite happy la..then the mood soured when..
some cheena pple came and like tried to take over the court. see we were at nus and playing at the basketball courts since the handball courts are full. there's a "no soccer" rule there on the signboards but no one seemed to be picking a bone with us for playing there..till those guys stepped in. well..nothing against the PRC peeps (there was one of them playing soccer with us and he was fine) but those numbskulls were total asses. they demanded we leave the court and then said, "there are no other courts" when in fact at the far end there was an EMPTY court unused by anyone. when we pointed that out to them, all they did was keep harping on the "no soccer" rule. that really ticked me off..like can't they see? or if they asked nicely i would have been fine to let them have the court. when they refused to move, we continued playing.. too bad i was on the wrong side of the court if not i wouldn't have minded taking a couple of potshots at them. then they decided to call all the other "tong pan men" to come over to "conquer" the court. so seeing that this time there were really too many of them, we decided to leave but not before we argued and i gave them a piece of my mind. freaking boneheads. luckily a couple of them were more diplomatic. (following which i stormed off the court and kicked over a table) was so freaking pissed off..so much that it reminded me of the time when i had a super short fuse and snap at every small thing. well it was just like that..can't stand haughty pple who are so legalistic (and blind) and as if they own the ground we tread on.. i just feel its so wrong. like how can anyone think like this in the modern day and age? really numbskulled.
anyways was intending to go yf but was too tired, and hungy, and well its still excuses = but yeah..its been awhile since i hung out with marcus, junhao, kai and the bunch..like our sat soccer session were stopped cuz of their workload in school..so really no other way to meet them..(apart from skipping work) :P had dinner and lots of laughs, jibes and fun, food wasn't too die for but the company sure was..! so thanks guys! =D (should you ever read this :)
well..its another 18 days to go..and a brand new week starting soon!

ughhh-i hate being sick
woke up this morning with this huge headache and lightheadedness. thot it was due to my wrapping myself in the blanket the entire night when it was so warm. woke up both my legs were wet so thot i somehow in my sleep tried to dehydrate myself..
then went to the breakfast table and couldn't seem to swallow my fruits at all..its like i take a bite and chew and chew and chew but when it came to swallow like quite difficult..and i had this wierd sensation of something like hiccups but without the "hic!" also felt like wanting to vomit but nothing came out.
went back to bed and called in sick and slept till 11 when i awoke to find that my stomach was still in pain. walked ard and tried to make sense of things before i went back to bed and waking up at only 2.40pm. same feeling.. :( can't vomit (which i destest..even though it would have made me feel better)..nothing to shit out (which was worse..felt like a block of rubbish sitting in my gut) and still no way to eat. so i went to the doctor which diagnosed me as having stomach flu -___-
so now back at home i'm starving but have to wait till half an hour later and also that there isn't any porridge stalls open now.. =/ so had to get instant porridge. will tell you how they taste.
btw..on a happier note, man u rox :) they won 6-2 :P

some days are good for first times :)
heh..today was quite a good pool day. drilling jere 7-0 was something new. i didn't leave him many shots and had him shooting out of a safety or a no-shot. the feeling was incredible, haven't felt anything like that before. ok lah apart from some of the 'tyco' snooks, the rest was all planned and executed well..and pity i couldn't run out. would have loved to cap that wonderful moment with a break clear.
and winning 2 bucks in guard is a no-brainer..
anyways for those reading..there's badminton on sat! clementi courts 14 & 15 from 11am - 1pm. so do come down and join us..! (and tell me if you're coming)
