Friday Escapade (19th Feb 2010)

Hi Fellow Colleagues,

We are into the 6th day of CNY. There are some celebrations to look forward to this weekend, i.e. the 7th Day (Sat) – The Human Race Day + 9th Day (Mon) – Hokkien New Year.

JOKE-OF-THE-WEEK
Here’s a joke from my favorite comedian, Conan O’ Brien :
“The Canadian government continues to say they will not help us if we go to war with Iraq. However, the prime minister of Canada said he`d like to help, but he`s pretty sure that last time he checked, Canada had no army.”


STORY-OF-THE-WEEK
In case you had missed this, here’s a story which appeared in the Star on Wed :
An Austrian tycoon is giving away every penny of his £3M fortune after realizing that his riches were making him unhappy.
Karl Rabeder, 47, a businessman from Telfs near Innsbruck, is in the process of selling his 3,455 sq ft villa with lake, sauna and spectacular mountain views over the Alps, valued at £1.4M.
He said, “My idea is to have nothing left. Absolutely nothing. Money is counter-productive – it prevents happiness. I had a feeling I was working as a slave for things that I did not wish for or need.”


POEM-OF-THE-WEEK

All have graduated with flying colors, time for high fives

It’s time to leave home, it’s time to blow kisses to the wives

Excitement abound, as they await impatiently for their vehicle to arrive

Only to discover to their utter dismay, their submarine can't even dive
