8) Dice your Life
Lately, I read an article on newly wed Chinese couple born after the 80s. They have innovated a special dice. The shape does not defer much from the traditional rounded cube, rather of showing number 1-6 on the six-face dice, this one has daily activities like ‘laundry’, ‘cooking’, ‘wash dishes’, ‘buy groceries’, ‘run errand’, ‘staring blank’ etc. on the six-face dice.
The couple has to toss the die to decide their choice of house chore to be done for the day. That’s a fair deal but it could be the starting of a nightmare for the husband.
It is a popular and trendy practice among the young couple. Isn’t it an innovation, and creative idea used in an amazing way!
11) What is the difference between these 2 Sepak Takraw?
The one on the left is meant for wheelchair user and made of rubber material. The one on the right is a traditional Sepak Takraw ball that is made of rattan, thus it’s lighter and more bouncy. Unlike the traditional Sepak Takraw, the rubberized one is less springy and it requires a bit more patience and determination to master the game.
Auti Angel is the “Dancebassador” of the Abilities Expo. She is a wheelchair Hip-hop dancer and also the founder of Colours~N~Motion. Participants from all ages and genders learn the dancing skill from her.
Physical disabilities don’t set a boundary within. With the strength and determination to go beyond, dancing with free wings are the real heroes!
What sort of satisfaction and joy does one gain from sport? A medal? An accomplishment? Or just a simple game just for a simply joy?
Do you want to compete cycling with me?
Or barely go under the sky for an ocean of freedom?
21) Will you still love me?
You beat her up with many reasons
Kiss her with no reason
Sparks in your eyes
Fist with diamond ring in the air
You said sorry uncountable times
And she begins to feel sorry for herself
She says
“I am not sure if I can bear with this anymore”
And you asked her.
“Will you still love me?”
You trimmed me down with many reasons
Keep me when you said you love eco
Spark on my body from the eyes of your saw
Yet, you said you love your garden
You confused me
And I started to confuse myself
I am not sure if I can bear with this any more
And you asked me
“Will you still love me?”
You bombed me with many reasons
Lock me up for peace
Spark in the eyes of a warrior
But, you only love your own family
You worry me
And I started to worry for myself
I am not sure if I can bear with this any more
And you asked me
A question I don’t even know how to answer myself
“Will you still love me anymore?”
5) Stairway to Office!
A company enforces a rule for employees reporting late for work. For that reason, they have to climb flight of steps to their office on the 19th floor. This takes them for about 15mins to reach ‘heaven’.
This is happening in a country in Asia. Employee, Jessica told the press that her office enforces a new rule for latecomers. Instead of fining them for reporting late at work, they would have to climb stairs!
After a month after the rule takes place, no employee report work late!
“For those who report late, please report to the counter!” This is a daily pop-out message on their PC screen. If you happened to be the one, please help yourself to the counter at 1st floor and greet morning to the flight of stairs within 15mins! Someone will be on the 19th floor counter to erase your bad record!
On Oct 22, Jessica happened to be the late one. She lamented that there was no chance to cheat, there will always be someone guarding over the stairway at every alternate floor. Instead of paying a fine of about S$20/=, after a few practices, they managed to finish the test in a joyful way. After all, no fine are fine to them.
One month after the rule has been set, there is tremendous improvement.
The numbers of latecomers has decreased from 3 to 1. And till now, not a single staff turned up late at all!
9) Husband and Liquor
Wife to drunk husband: From now on, if your lips touch liquor, you will never touch mine. What are you thinking?
Husband: Deciding: 18 year old scotch or 36 year old lips….
35) Where is your Bandstand?
This is the only bandstand in my memory since childhood. For some, when you ask the question around, the answer might not be great difference. Yes, we are back to Singapore Botanic Gardens again.
With fair skin and elegant appearance, this octagonal classic beauty was refaced in 1930. It was erected in the 1860s as a focus point of Botanic Gardens. For sure, that was our grandparents or even our great grandparents’ time. But it has retired from its military band performance. So, let’s listen to the musical flow in the charming winds and cicadas’ call.
And so, where is your Bandstand? Mine is in this lovely garden. Anywhere, in any of its piece of greenery!
19) Song of Abduction
I am lack of air
You are a billionaire
I got no one to care
You got plenty things to spare
You are rare
You must be in the sky somewhere
So, I lock you up
Asking for anything you can bear
First, I share with you my nightmare
Secondly, you share with me how to become a billionaire
I believe this is fair
I am lack of air
You are not that bad
I got no one to care
At least, you have something to spare
You are well aware
You must be working for somebody somewhere
So, I lock you up
Asking you for any peanut can be shared
First, I share with you my nightmare
Secondly, you tell me what rate is fair and square
I believe this is fair
This post was inspired by a news article regarding kidnappers are now diverting their targets. They are now on lookouts for ordinary people for ransom, as they believe ordinary people are easier targets to them, as they have no security guards protecting them. Besides, the lower ransom they demanded is much easier to be fulfilled than the huge payoffs. This is real crime case happening in a country somewhere.
8) Boss comes 1st
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.
They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, ‘I’ll give each of you just one wish.’
‘Me first! Me first!’ says the admin clerk..
‘I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat,
without a care in the world.’ Poof! She’s gone.
‘Me next! Me next!’ says the sales rep.
‘I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse,
an endless supply of Pina Coladas, and the love of my life.’ Poof! He’s gone.
‘OK, you’re up,’ the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, ‘I want those two back in the office after lunch.’
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.
18) Wind Song
I traveled all the way to you
Looking for a place to land
I am sorry for being a breeze
I have mess up your face
Stir up your BBQ flame
Overcook your lamb
But I am sure you’ll re-build your land
Gather all the strength and friends
Be a stronger, happier, tougher man
I traveled all the way to you
Looking for a place to land
I am sorry for being a wind
I have mess up your plan
Stir up your navigation
Override where you stand
But I am sure you’ll re-build your formation
Gather all the strength and friends
Be a stronger, happier, tougher man
I traveled all the way to you
Looking for a place to land
I am sorry for being a Hurricane
I have mess up your family
Stir up your garden
Over-turn your land
But I am sure you’ll re-build your home
Gather all the strength and friends
Be a stronger, happier, tougher man
10) He asked
I asked the muddy ground
Why are you so shabby and with dirt all over your face?
This is what I am
He replied
If I am not what I am, then what should I be?
He asked
I asked the autumn tree
Why are you so sad even with your falling leaves?
This is what I am
He replied
If I am a bushy tree, does that mean I will be much more happy?
He asked
I asked the volcano
Why are you so furious, to throw tantrum on people?
This is what I am
He replied
If I am not on fire, then what should I be?
