Friday Escapade (May 28, 2010)

QUOTES-OF-THE-WEEK

1) Life’s best lessons are learned at the worst times

2)"Advice is like snow; the softer it falls the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind." --- Samuel T. Coleridge (a famous poet)

JOKES-OF-THE-WEEK

1) "The U.S. Navy announced this week they are now using sea lions to fight terrorism. They did a drill this week where they hid a bomb underwater. A trained sea lion found the bomb in less than a minute. The bad news? He then balanced the bomb on his nose, threw it back at the trainer." – Jay Leno

2) "Well, folks, it seems that oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, much worse than British Petroleum first reported. You know how bad it is? Yesterday, I checked the oil in my car, had seawater on it." – Jay Leno

POEMS-OF-THE-WEEK

1) The winner of American Idol will be announced today………


A day of reckoning for the American Idol finalists

The winner will be the one record companies will enlist

The final two have always been on everybody’s favorite list

Whoever wins, Crystal Bowersox and Lee Dewyze will be popular artists



2) Salesgirl loses RM19,400 to chase away evil spirits


Despite all the publicity in the papers, there have been too many such cases

Imagine a girls losing SG$8k to a friend for bomoh services

Told she was possessed by evil spirits, now who has red faces

This is a lesson to all girls, for placing their faith in all the wrong places

Friday Escapade (May 21, 2010)

QUOTES-OF-THE-WEEK

1) It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good too, to check up once in awhile and make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy - George Horace Lorimer

2) “I pray a lot. I am a Catholic. I believe in God. I try to be a good man so He can have a bit of time to give me a hand when I need it” – Jose Mourinho (Inter Milan football coach preparing for the Champions League Final this weekend)

JOKES-OF-THE-WEEK

1) "Scientists say they have developed a car that can run on water. The only catch is, the water has to come from the Gulf of Mexico." – Jay Leno

2) "British Petroleum is starting to get a little defensive. Have you heard their new slogan?

'Yeah, like you never spilled anything before.'" – Jay Leno

POEMS-OF-THE-WEEK

1) Again, Malaysia failed to win the Thomas Cup

So, another failed Thomas Cup campaign after all the hullabaloo

18 years and counting, tipping Malaysia to win made you sound like a cuckoo

When expectations are high, hoping Malaysia to win is almost a taboo

Just like the Olympics, when faced with Lin Dan, Chong Wei again met his Waterloo


2) Matt Harvey has been appointed the official poet for the Wimbledon tennis tournament

A tennis tournament filled with tradition and history

After breaking the Grand Slam record, Roger Federer has nothing more to worry

On his favorite surface, whoever drawn against him will be feeling sorry

Matt Harvey will be writing his poems to describe the daily events in all its glory

Friday Escapade (May 14, 2010)

POEMS-OF-THE-WEEK

Some comments on Malaysia's performance in the Thomas Cup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another night that almost ended in pain
Another 2-0 lead, almost lost 3-2 again
Another tie resting on Hafiz, almost makes you wanna faint
Another one like this in the semi-finals, you can almost go insane


UK has a new PM........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After much uncertainty, David Cameron is now at 10 Downing Street
After thirteen years of Labour rule, the British finally decide to vote with their feet
A record deficit in front of him, not an easy time to be in power
An uneasy alliance, if the economy does not improve, he will soon be a goner


QUOTE-OF-THE-WEEK

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself - Leo Tolstoy

JOKE-OF-THE-WEEK

"Well, in China, the one child limit may be on its way out because Chinese experts say there aren't enough babies in the country anymore. To give you an idea how bad it's getting, some factories over there are now being forced to hire adults." –Jay Leno

BLAST-FROM-THE-PAST
A fantastic song from 1998 which is worth re-visiting this week :

TURN BACK TIME - Aqua (a No 1 song in the UK - listen to the lyrics carefully)

Friday Escapade (May 7, 2010)

It’s Friday again and we can call a “time-out” for 2 days…………(the NBA players must be green with envy)

QUOTE-OF-THE-WEEK

Why do people never say "It’s just a game" when they're winning?


JOKE-OF-THE-WEEK

"President Bush is working very hard on the book, making revisions. In fact, his computer screen is covered with White-Out."

"They asked him if he used a ghostwriter and he said, 'No, the guy's still alive.'" – David Letterman

POEM-OF-THE-WEEK

Are you aware that the Thomas Cup is starting this weekend?
---------------------

H1N1? Who cares, Malaysians prefer to catch the badminton bug

Our players will have to be careful with the unknowns, they are no mugs

Hope Malaysia brings back the Thomas Cup, your heart will tug

A pipe dream I say because when expectations are high, our players always catch the jitterbugs

Friday Escapade (30th April 2010)

QUOTES-OF-THE-WEEK
1) Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.

2) “All the things I thought were important before I had a hit record are just as important now. The beautiful things are still the same, the sunset and the dew on the grass. No material wealth changes the way I feel about those things.” - Jimi Hendrix (1967)

JOKE-OF-THE-WEEK
"And the cover story of this week's Newsweek magazine is about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and how President Obama sends her out to crack down on misbehaving world leaders. Gee, I wonder where she learned to do that?" – Jay Leno

POEM-OF-THE-WEEKThe hot topic this week is the implementation of female-only coaches for KTM Komuter trains

All your pleas for more coaches have now gone down the drain
As if they are not aware there are already not enough trains
Female-only coaches, a good idea definitely this ain’t
A big gift from KTM to all men that is bound to cause more pain
