When The Numb Takes Over

I feel numb. I feel like I have no life.

Had to work throughout the 3 day Christmas break because the number of orders that was coming through was incredible.

Plus, I have been working past midnight in these last few days of the quarter.

Sad case? Yeah, tell me about it.

But yesterday was different. I left office at 4pm yesterday because I couldn't do any work. The massive earthquake that occurred in Taiwan on Tuesday had damaged many vital cable lines, causing our office's Internet connection to be down for the better part of the day.

Which has led me to wonder why the 26th of December is so cursed something "bad" always happens on that day. We've had the two big tsunamis which both occurred on the 26th of December, albeit different years. Then this year we have the massive earthquake in Taiwan. Okay, that's besides the fact the massive earthquake turned out to be a blessing in disguise for us.

Anyhow, I have to be in office by 6am tomorrow morning to make up for lost time. So seeya, I'll need to catch up on some sleep for now.

Humour Mail 5

A man wants to celebrate his wife's birthday by throwing a party. So he goes to order a birthday cake. The salesman asks him what message he wants to put on the cake.

He thinks for a while and says let's put, "you are not getting older you are getting better".

The salesman asks, "How do you want me to put it?"

The man says, "Well put 'you are not getting older'", at the top and 'you are getting better' at the bottom.

The real fun didn't start until the cake was opened and the entire party watched the message decorated on the cake - "You are not getting older at the top, you are getting better at the bottom".

There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour. Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down.

The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."

"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away."

"I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."

A driver is pulled over by a policeman. The police man approaches the driver's door. "Is there a problem Officer?"

The policeman says, "Sir, you were speeding. Can I see your licence please?"

The driver responds, "I'd give it to you but I don't have one."

"You don't have one?"

The man responds, "I lost it four times for drink driving."

The policeman is shocked. "I see. Can I see your vehicle registration papers please?"

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

The policeman says, "Why not?"

"I stole this car."

The officer says, "Stole it?"

The man says, "Yes, and I killed the owner."

At this point the officer is getting irate. "You what!?"

"She's in the boot if you want to see."

The Officer looks at the man and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes, five police cars show up, surrounding the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.

The senior officer says "Sir, could you step out of your vehicle please!"

The man steps out of his vehicle. "Is there a problem sir?"

"One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner."

"Murdered the owner?"

The officer responds, "Yes, could you please open the boot of your car please?"

The man opens the boot, revealing nothing but an empty boot.

The officer says, "Is this your car sir?"

The man says "Yes," and hands over the registration papers.

The officer, understandably, is quite stunned. "One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving licence."

The man digs in his pocket revealing a wallet and hands it to the officer. The officer opens the wallet and examines the licence. He looks quite puzzled. "Thank you sir, one of my officers told me you didn't have a licence, stole this car, and murdered the owner."

The man replies, "I bet you the lying bastard told you I was speeding, too!"

The kindergartners were now in the first grade. Their teacher wanted them to be more grown up since they were no longer in kindergarten. She told them to use grown up words instead of baby words. She then asked them to tell her what they did during the summer.

The first little one said he went to see his Nana. The teacher said, "No, No, you went to see your grandmother. Use the grown up word."

The next little one said she went for a trip on a choo-choo. The teacher again said, "No, No, you went on a trip on a train. That's the grown up word."

Then the teacher asked the third little one what he did during the summer. He proudly stated that he read a book. The teacher asked what book he had read.

He puffed out his chest and in a very adult way replied, "Winnie the Shit."

The Pentagon recently found it had too many generals and offered an early retirement bonus. They promised any general who retired straight away his full annual benefits plus $10,000 for every inch measured in a straight line between any two parts of the general's body, with the general getting to select any pair of points he wished.

The first man, an Air Force general, accepted. He asked the pension man to measure from the top of his head to the tip of his toes. Six feet. He walked out with a check of $720,000.

The second man, an Army general, asked them to measure from the tip of his outstretched hands to his toes. Eight feet. He walked out with a check for $960,000.

When the third general, a grizzled old Marine, was asked where to measure, he told the pension man, "From the tip of my penis to the bottom of my testicles."

The pension man suggested that perhaps the Marine general might like to reconsider, pointing out the nice checks the previous two generals had received.

The Marine insisted and the pension expert said that would be fine, but that he'd better get the medical officer to do the measuring. The medical officer attended and asked the general to drop the pants.

The medical officer placed the tape on the tip of the general's penis and began to work back. "My God!" he said. "Where are your testicles?"

The general replied, "In Vietnam."

Bad Grammar Hurt The Eyes

Completed a subbing exercise several hours ago. Ever since then, I have been suffering from the Grammar Perfection Syndrome.

Grammatical errors have suddenly become more prominent. Now I spot errors on leaflets handed out by salespeople. I spot errors on food vendors' menus. I spot errors everywhere.

And they cause sore eyes. Because I know the words / sentences need to be corrected, yet I realize that I am in no position to correct them. The faulty words / sentences just keep appearing in my mind over and over again!

Someone help me please!!

"Amazing Race" @ Sentosa

How's this for a weekend plan - picnicking and "treasure hunting" at Sentosa on a Saturday with your friends and celebrating your birthday on Sunday over a buffet with your loved ones?

That's exactly what I did over the weekend, and let's have the pictures do the talking.
