Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.

"In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."

The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle," he said. "You may pass through the pearly gates," Saint Peter said.

The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells." Saint Peter said, "You may pass through the pearly gates."

The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's glasses.

St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"

The man replied, "They're Carol's."

How you impress yourr clients
I was in the airport VIP lounge en route to Seattle a couple of weeks ago.

While in there, I noticed Bill Gates sitting comfortably in the corner,
enjoying a drink. I was meeting a very important client who was a! lso
flying to Seattle , but she was running a little bit late.

Well, being a straightforward kind of guy, I approached the Microsoft
chairman, introduced myself, and said, "Mr. Gates, I wonder if you would do
me a favor."

"Yes?"

"I'm sitting right over there," pointing to my seat at the bar, and I' m
waiting for a very important client. Would you be so kind when she arrives
as to come walk by and just say "Hi Tom?"

"Sure."

I shook his hand and thanked him and went back to my seat. About ten
minutes later, my client showed up. We ordered a drink and started to talk
business. A couple of minutes later, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was
Bill Gates.

"Hi, Tom," he said.

I replied, "Shut up, Bill, I'm in a meeting."

~ WOW ~

Hmmm woke up quite early for a sunday morning today to go que up for jap classes. haha. yea lor. WTH right jap classes aso nid to que up... that time i went with daniel to his just waltz in lidat and ask and sign up liao. this one still have to que up. hah. maybe cos its good ma =p or maybe just cos its the cheapest. lol. but they are from Singapore Jap Society or smth de so shud be quite good bah. heeee.

its really crazy, i went more than an hr early but infront of me got ALOT of ppl. some pics to help you better understand the situation... wahaha.




The people right infront of us



The people behind us



What the que looks like after u turn the corner



They issued que tickets to everyone just as the registration was abt to open. and this is wad i got. almost a good 300 people infront of me man! wahhhh...



We even had to que up the dirty staircase!(5 story's!)

But it was all worth the que bah. cos i actually got the sunday class which i wanted with my frens all inside. heeeee. and there were space for 2 or 3 more for the class after i got my space.



Spoils for the day.


Hah. after the long queing we went to have lunch and seperated after that. ricky followed me to sim lim sq as he was gonna take bus there. i went to return money i still owed my unc for the com parts.

after returning the money i decided to look around cos i believe my ex-harddisk power adaptor spoiled. But my seagate harddisk also under 5 yrs warranty la. so i went into this shop which sold the harddisk to enquire if the guy knows where is the seagate service centre. this was roughly the conversation that followed
guy: ohhhhh... sir u dun have warranty card then cannot. this kinda thing must have warranty card one you must have bought a parallel import.
(IMMEDIATELY i knew he was talking bullshit. cos i went to seagate webby they verify warranty by serial number one. PLUS i bought my harddisk from CHALLENGER. Chances of the guy selling the parallel import is HIGHER.)
Me:ohhh... but can you tell me where is the service centre
Guy:you dun have warranty card no use wad
Me:orhh yea. but i just wanna know
(This is the best part)
Guy:Why should i tell you?? i dun owe you the information what!(here it comes!) You buy one from me and get the warranty card la. then i tell you!
Me: WOW. thats certainly very good customer service you have here
Guy:You can get out of my shop now. i insist.
Me: yea. even if u dun insist i also will get out ah!

WTF RIGHT. WTF. PLEASE beware of this shop ppl. DO NOT BUY from the orange accesories shop on the 4th floor of SLS that is right infront of the escalator. KNN. i didn go check other shops ah but i saw the power adaptors all like old old one. Then i remember i buy before where got so ex one. the cheapest one they selling was wad 32 bucks?!? for a freaking power adaptor??? fucked up man. please take note ppl.

After that i really no mood to continue walking arnd SLS already. lest i bump into more of such ppl. Im sure they will be recieving their service awards very soon.

So i said bye to ricky and went on my way home. Sat at the busstop feeling dam pissed (i hate confrontations, ruins my day). So i was quite absorbed in my own world and listening to music on my phone when someone tapped me. i turned to my side and it was this old lady with lots of bags of stuff. she asked if i could sit more to the other side so she could put her stuff on the bench, cos the stuff were heavy and she had a weak heart. much obliged.

When my bus came i noticed she was gonna take the same bus. so i turned around and went to her to offer help. she was really grateful and we ended up chatting on the bus. shes quite a nice lady and well, all the stuff she bought (ikan billis) and what not are actually quite cheap anywhere de. but she chose to buy from bugis cos it was cheaper from the wholesaler. That 1 buck or 50 cents mattered enough to her. I found out shes on constant medication now and alot of money was spent on hospital bills. (lucky she got a son who teaches at VJC. wow) but if you look at it in a way, shes scrimping and saving to pay for her hospital bills. wah. and i can spend 30 bucks easily on a weekend outing with friends. =x really makes me quite guilty.

well, chatting with that old lady sorta made me feel better. prolly cos shes just someone simple and outgoing. not like the scheming guy(UNCLE) back at SLS who tries whatever means to sell products.

so on the whole my day was quite ok. sitting infront of the com now with the jap book on the desk... haha. thats about it for now. bye!

~ Time After Time ~

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new
You say go slow; I fall behind
The second hand unwinds


If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you; I'll be waiting
Time after time

Time after time
Time after time

Sometimes you picture me I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me I can't hear just what you've said
You say go slow; I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
[Time After Time lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

If you fall I will catch you; I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm ok
You say go slow; I fall behind
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
(I will be waiting)
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

This song is nice aso. incidentally shaun sent me again. haha. thx shaun. i tink other ppl got do covers of this song aso. hmmm.

lyrics:

Another lonely night in Amersterdam
And stars are coming out in waves
I miss my Miss America in Park Hotel
And I'm too stoned to call it a day

When everything you wanted
Seems to hide behind your eyes
And I'm locked in my hotel room
Thinking over our goodbyes

I will write this down for you
So you can read this
I will hold my breath for you
Till you can feel it

Another lonely night in Amsterdam
And water's moving through the sound
The blood is boiling in my veins
and the food I can't keep down

And I don't care if you don't love me
And I don't care if you won't change
I could live inside these shadows that I cast on you
If it meant that you would stay
And I'll be home before the morning comes,
You won't have to be alone

I will write this down for you
So you can read it
I will hold my breath for you
Till I can't feel it
You don't have to see me this way,
Cause this way I'm okay

I will write this down, I will write this down

Oh love, I'm tangled up again
Oh love, when does this twisting end?
When does this twisting end?

I will write this down for you
So you can read it
I will hold my breath for you
Till I can't feel it
You won't have to see me this way
Cause this way I'm okay

I will write this down for you,
So you can read it...

~ One Red Paper Clip ~

Waha. Bought a new book yesterday and finished it today. the story is rather short, but its really just, AMAZING.

The title of the book is the title of this post. One Red Paper Clip.

WTH IS THAT??? you might ask.

well basically its a true story bout this guy, who not so long ago owned a red paper clip just like any others. Incidentally he was unemployed or "between jobs". But he decided one day, to trade away his paper clip. For something better.

And so, the trades continued. Guess wad he ended up with? HIS OWN HOUSE. 2 floors and "recently" renovated. he moved in july 2006, the same date a year before he made his first trade. The paper clip.

its really inspirational and amazing that something like this actually happened in today's world, to an ordinary guy just like us. i mean he had to choose between "applying for a stable job" or "doing what he wants to do" And look where that landed him in. New home, celeb status, and most of all TONS of new friends.
