Briton VS Malaysian VS Singaporean
WHEN GIVING A CUSTOMER A PIECE OF BAD NEWS Britons: I'm sorry sir, but we don't seem to have the sweater you want in your size, but if you give me a moment, I can call the other outlets for you. Malaysians: No stock. Singaporeans: Paiseh, no more. RETURNING A CALL Britons: Hello, this is John Smith. Did anyone page me a few moments ago? Malaysians: Hallo, who page? Singaporeans: Hello, siang kar pajer? ASKING SOMEONE TO MAKE WAY Britons: Excuse me, I'd like to get by. Would you please make way? Malaysians: S-kew me. Singaporeans: Oei, siam leh! WHEN SOMEONE OFFERS TO PAY Britons: Hey, put your wallet away, this drink is on me. Malaysians: No need lah. Singaporeans: Oh, thank you ah! WHEN ASKING FOR PERMISSION Britons: Excuse me, but do you think it would be possible for me to enter through this door? Malaysians: (Pointing to the door) Can ar? Singaporeans: Nothing. They don't even ask. They wait for people to say, "hey you can't go in!" WHEN ENTERTAINING Britons: Please make yourself at home. Malaysians: Don't be shy lah. Singaporeans: Oei, don't anyhow touch my things leh! WHEN DOUBTING SOMEONE Britons: I don't recall you giving me the money. Malaysians: Where got? Singaporeans: Knn, where's my money? WHEN DECLINING AN OFFER Britons: I'd prefer not to do that, if you don't mind. Malaysians: Doe-waaaaan. Singaporeans: Same as Malaysians, just that we do it 10 times. IN DISAGREEING ON A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION Britons: Err, Tom. I have to stop you there. I understand where you're coming from, but I really have to disagree with what you said about the issue. Malaysians: You mad ar? Singaporeans: Please lor! Where got like that one? Don't talk cock can? WHEN ASKING SOMEONE TO LOWER THEIR VOICE Britons: Excuse me, but could you please lower your voice.

Do I know you? Malaysians: See what, see what? Singaporeans: Diao simi diao? (Makes a phone call to gather his brothers) WHEN ASSESING A TIGHT SITUATION Britons: We seem to be in a bit of predicament at the moment. Malaysians: Die lah! Singaporeans: (Nothing. They give up.) WHEN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED Britons: Will someone tell me what has just happened? Malaysians: What happened? Why lidat? Singaporeans: What the FUCK just happened man? WHEN SOMEONE DID SOMETHING WRONG Britons: This isn't the way to do it. Here let me show you. Malaysians: Oei! You pig ar! Lidat also don't know how to do. Singaporeans: Nb lah! You do this for what!?

Joke
Guess you guys might have heard of this joke before, but I find it interesting, therefore this post. Hope no one gets insulted by this joke. A Singaporean was on holiday in Malaysia, and was having coffee, croissants, bread, butter & jam at the hotel. A Malaysian who was chewing gum, sat down to him and started a casual conversation. Malaysian: "You guys eat the whole bread?" Singaporean: "Yeah, of course." Malaysian: "We don't. Over here in Malaysia, we only eat what's inside. We collect the crusts in a container, recycle it, transform them into croissants and sell them across to Singapore." The Malaysian then had a smirk on his face while the Singaporean listened in silence. Malaysian: "Do you eat the jam with the bread?" Singaporean: "Yup." Malaysian (chuckling): "We don't. In Malaysia, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds and other leftovers in a container, recycle it, transform them into jam and sell them across to Singapore." This time, the Singaporean retorted. Singaporean: "Do you have sex in Malaysia?" Malaysian: "Of course we do." Singaporean: "Do you wear protection then?" Malaysian: "Of course! Condoms!" Singaporean: "Then what do you do with the condoms once you've finished using it?" Malaysian: "Stupid question! Of course we throw them away!" Singaporean: "We don't. In Singapore, the government secretly puts them in a container, recycle it, transform them to chewing gum and sell them across to Malaysia. That's the real reason why we banned chewing gum in Singapore!" Posted by sKysHaDoW at 2:29 AM Tuesday, June 13, 2006
What If
The first report we see on The New Paper today is a lady by the name of Madam Hayati Jantan, who at 12 years old found out by accident that she was an adopted child, and only now that she decided to find her biological family. What if one day someone walks into your house, and tells you that he/she is your long-lost sibling? Will you believe that person, or will you think that he/she is an idiot and kick him/her out of the house? At the age of 10 months, my biological mother decided to leave me and my father, eloping with another guy. At the age of 3 years old, my father died. I was lucky that my father's elder sister, my auntie, decided to take care of me as if I'm hers. If she didn't, I probably would have ended up in an orphanage, and get adopted by another family. What if I really was sent to an orphanage by my auntie and grandmother, and then I get adopted? Will I be able to know at that point of time that I actually lost both my parents, and that someone that I don't know is adopting me? I was only 3 years old at that time, and sad to say I don't even remember my father passing away in an accident. All I have are pictures of the funeral to remind me of his death. If I was adopted, and I decide to find my auntie and grandmother now, will they accept me when they see me? Or will they ask me to get out of their lives? Or will they act as if they don't know me, even though they do? I always get the shivers when I think of this question. People, even though your parents nag at you, scold you or even hit you, it's all for your own good. Treasure your parents. You only have 2 in the whole world. Don't regret not taking care of them when they die. Technorati tags: singapore, skyshadow, family, adoption Posted by sKysHaDoW at 11:50 PM Monday, June 12, 2006
Amazing Visual
I've always loved such images. Look at the picture at the bottom, and then stand up and move back for quite a distance. Watch them swap places. P.S. You will need a real big room in order to see the change. Small rooms are a no-no.  Posted by sKysHaDoW at 9:09 AM Sunday, June 11, 2006
Betting
It's been such a long time since I've last betted on a soccer match, mostly due to my Dear and my empty pocket. Today's win is only a small one, but a satisfying one. Sometimes, it doesn't mean that you have to win big to win. Bets: 1/2 Goal -- England (-1 1/2). Odds: $2.30. Bet: $5 to pay $11.50 Total Goals - 1 Goal. Odds: $4.50. Bet: $5 to pay $22.50 - 2 Goal. Odds: $3.40. Bet: $5 to pay $17.00 Pick The Score - England Win 1-0. Odds: $7.00. Bet: $5 to pay $35.00 - England Win 2-0. Odds: $5.50. Bet: $5 to pay $27.50 Half/Full Time Double - England & England. Odds: $1.97. Bet: $5 to pay $9.85 Therefore as a summary, Total Bets: $30.00 Returns: $22.50 + $35.00 + $9.85 = $67.35 Winnings: $67.35 - $30.00 = $37.35 A very small win to kick off the World Cup Betting Season.

Cars + World Cup
When was the last time you last cared about someone besides yourself? I like this phrase from the movie "Cars". I'm not gonna spoil it for you people who haven't watch it though. Come to think of it, is the reason why I care about my friends because I don't want them to affect myself? Or is it because I really am concerned about them? Anyway, my advice? Go watch it. It's worth your $9.50. Or is it $8.50? And it's the start of the World Cup 2006! It's now half time between Germany and Costa Rica, and it's already 2-1. Not a bad start after all. Hope that this year the World Cup will be exciting hehe. It just seems like 1 week ago or 1 month ago that the previous World Cup ended. I can still remember clearly how South Korea won Italy, or how Ronaldinho's freak freekick ended up in the back of England's net. This year's World Cup, I only think of two teams who are capable of winning it, and SHOULD win it. Brazil, and England. Why? Because of Ronaldinho and Rooney. These 2 are the players who can change the game. I just think that if England do not be over confident, they should be able to win Brazil, with some luck of course. They better pray that Ronaldinho have an off day, or a stomachache that day. That is if they meet of course. Let's enjoy this World Cup! Anyway, thanks to Dear, I'll put up a tutorial on the betting terminology, for those who do not understand. Example 1: A vs B (A -1/2) i.e. B -1/2 Scenario 1: A wins by 1 or more, A -1/2 wins full amount Scenario 2: A draws with B, B +1/2 wins full amount Scenario 3: B wins by 1 or more, B +1/2 wins full amount Example 2: A vs B (A -3/4) i.e. A -1/2 and -1 Scenario 1: A wins by 1, A -3/4 wins 1/2 the amount, and B +3/4 loses 1/2 the amount (Reason being that we win the -1/2 ball, and we draw for the -1 ball. Therefore we either win or lose 1/2 of the amount) Scenario 2: A wins by 2 or more, A -3/4 wins full amount Scenario 3: A draws with B, B +3/4 wins full amount Scenario 4: B wins by 1 or more, B +3/4 wins full amount Example 3: A vs B (A -1) i.e. B +1 Scenario 1: A wins by 1, nobody wins anything. Scenario 2: A wins by 2 or more, A -1 wins full amount Scenario 3: A draws with B, B +1 wins full amount Scenario 4: B wins by 1 or more, B +1 wins full amount Posted by sKysHaDoW at 12:55 AM Monday, June 05, 2006
Soccer Fan's Letter To Wife/GF
1) From 9 Jun to 9 Jul, you should read the sports section in newspapers so that you know what is going on. Otherwise, don't complain about not getting any attention. 2) Do not stand nude in front of the TV because I will not have the time to take you to the doctor. 3) When you see that I am upset because my favourite team lost, do not say to me "get over it, it's only a game" or "don't worry, they will win next time". Those so called "words of encouragement" will only make me angrier and love you less. 4) You are welcome to sit and watch a match together with me but you can only talk to me during half time when the commercial breaks are on. 5) Tell your friends not to have any babies, or host any parties during this period because I will not go. But if my friends invites us to his house to watch a game, we will be there in a flash. Finally, please save your remarks like "Thank God, the World Cup is only once in four years" because after this comes the Champions League, Premier League, Italian League, Spanish League and S-League!
