Jokes

I come across this joke before, but everytime i read it, it is so funny. I am sharing it on my blog now. hahaha...

A store that sells “New Husbands” has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:  

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increases as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:


Floor 1 -  These men Have Jobs 
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:  


Floor 2 -  These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.' So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:


Floor 3 -  These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.  
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads: 


Floor 4 -  These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help with Housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:


Floor 5 -  These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.  
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 6 -  You are visitor number 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor.
This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please!!!


Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.   
(scroll and keep reading!)  


.....

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a “New Wives Store”
just across the street.

The 1st Floor has wives that love sex. 

The 2nd, 3rd, 4th,5th and 6th floor have never been visited.

The Scent of Woman

At my age, I didn't know I still can get so hooked up at watching the korean drama series. I am recently watching this (no.... I finished it last night actually, haha), in english name it is called "The scent of Woman 女人的香气". So nice to watch.... there's laughters and also tears in each episode. I cried like watching 大常今 last time. Jay hates it when I watched movie and cried, he said it is not healthy. But I find it very healthy... got laugh must also balance with tears ger mah, right? hahaa... sometimes I will exclaimed out loud, "where on earth can there be such good drama series like this one???!!! wah..................."

The man is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo handsome in this movie... I really love him!! arrgghhh.... hahahaha... and I thought only girls at age 18+ are like that. I am not normal I guess... :P The part he took off his shirt showering and show the six packs, wahhhhhh..... I asked J come and look at his six packs.  But Jay is not even a bit of jealous wor... he is very full of himself. I told him if the man in this movie come and kao me, he might have a marriage crisis. He laughed... yiu... slap him.

The story line is very moving... but a bit unrealistic lah... you watch you will know. But hey, the handsome man part can offset this part easily. hahaha....

What's next?;)

By the way, I am so busy lately... at work. So many companies under my jurisdiction is having year-end... have to prepare this and that. Even have to yeng chao by having lunch with accountant. But good also. Today is the first time I met one of the accountant that I always spoke with on the phone. He looks like one of my friend in Shanghai (Winston) though... haha..

My eyes are so tired lately... of course lah, hari hari after work my eyes glued to tv for 4 hours... wah....  must rest liao now that I finished this series. I don't know what's it called in Korean tim.... hmm....

I love korean drama series!!!!! My next target is, 公主的男人, korean drama series too!! Hooray~~~~ more tears and laughters to come! But not these few nights, let the eyes rest rest first.

由买书延伸的一段童年回忆

我妈是个嗜书狂,我虽然很小就很爱看书,识字能力也比同龄的高(这个是我邻居跟我说的,他有一次跟我借书,那时好像是3-4年级,他看了我的书,竟然challenge我,‘里面的字你都会?不要骗我啦!’我说‘是的啊,不信你问我?’问了几轮,他终于投降,哈哈。但是上了中学后我就没有再进步了),但是老笑我妈,“你太恐怖了,满屋子都是你的书!太吓人了。”讲后必被她骂,老妈最讨厌人家讲她的书多,她说她就只有这么一个嗜好,又不打麻将,又不花钱妆身,也不花钱乱吃东西。听了也有道理,但是有时候就是忍不住要说。哈哈。

我小时候,很小很小的时候,妈妈就知道我也爱逛书局,她就久不久就会带着我一起搭巴士下坡到大众书局买书,一逛就是一整天。她那时也“玩臭”的,每次都是先看她的书,看得我都不耐烦了(要知道,我那时真的很小),她才拧着她买的一大堆的书,到我的儿童部门去看我的书。我都忘记细节是什么了,只知道每一次去书局,我们两个女人回家的心情都超棒的,很开心很开心。然后你知道的啦,两个疯狂的女人去买书,这么多,肯定不能搭巴士回家了,一定要坐计程车。但是你们也知道吉隆坡的天气的啦,下午(是的,我们每次都待到很晚)4-5点多数下雷阵雨的。苦了我们咯。计程车一听到我们住哪里(到我们家,要经过出名下雨就淹水的旧巴生路)都拒载耶。每一次都要碰上好人司机才会载我们。载我们的司机大概都是可怜我们母女俩,呵呵,有时候还会搭讪说怎么买这么多书??;)

我笑我妈,但是我却越来越像她了。嗜好也能遗传的吗?但是我喜欢的内容和我妈妈的不一样。她喜欢国家地理杂志的类型,读者文摘,动物、地理、文化、历史等。我喜欢的是好笑的包括漫画,爱情、感人、真人真事类、赚泪的、商业(management)的、医疗健康的、女人故事、真人memoir的等,所以遗憾的是,妈妈的collection 我一点也不感兴趣... hahaha...

我在上海的时候,妈妈还狂到时不时把list给我,让我在上海买(中国买书真的很便宜!!!),她来看我的时候或者我回去的时候带给她。我上海回吉隆坡的行李每一次都几乎超重,一点也不夸张。但是看到妈妈幸福开心的笑容,就什么也值得了。

我来了这里后,也一直很担心没有了中国的source我的精神粮食怎么办呢?福建人讲的“没有鱼,虾也好”就是我这种情况啦。就看英文的咯。Bui 买了kindle给我,因为我投诉很多书很重,背着上下班我的肩膀都要断掉了。kindle很好,但是让我发觉到有时候去书店买书,那个价格比kindle version的还要便宜(碰上打折)。所以我就有时候kindle,有时候还是手捧着真的书。

我公司100米就是全温哥华最大的图书馆,1km以外却有着一间很特别的书局,它不是很大的bookstore chain,但是价格却让我很开心。里面不常有当今畅销的书,但是却有很多的宝贝。我买过很多本很好看的书,之前都在这里有介绍过。所以这一周当我看到它说“closing sales”我真的很伤感。大概这边租金太贵了,它赚来的钱只够让客户开心,不够让他们交租。唉哉!

我周二买了2本,折后才5块多,我都不敢相信。前天我又去买了两本,也才7块多。今天老板不在公司,吃了饭我就只带了信用卡,包也不背(嫌站着看书的时候背着重,影响心情)就去了。快乐不知时间快过,我竟然待了2个小时!看着摘选的8本书,有一点不知所措。都买吗?为什么这个情景这样像我妈妈那时在大众书局的情景?也是买单的时候叠的高高的。(她不止买8本的... 3-4倍还差不多)。我最后狠下心都买了,也不就是32块多。哇那个快乐的感觉真的很棒,即便带点幽幽的伤感。以后没有了这个书局,我的日子要怎么过呢?太单调了。:(

天下没有不散之席。我们再会吧。或许我会碰到另一个新欢。世上没有绝对的'忠心',不是吗?;)
