Geez, I was hooked up in RL that I totally have not been able to manage this blog. Then what happened when I opened it? I found that the pictures I used in my last post are all missing. They are gone. How sad. I have not really thought that those can be removed. I totally enjoyed those pics from my last post. I wonder what could have happened? Could it have been resetted? Or maybe the website where those pics were taken is permanently down. I dunno...but they are definitely not there anymore...

It's quite funny how a foreign language can be twisted and used differently from what one wants to convey. Maybe that's why I get such a kick out of the Swedish chef. But then again, I guess that's how english is to some people. At any rate, just in case no one has visited the site yet, there's a site called engrish.com that posts hilarious pictures of things that exemplify just what I meant. It is not a new site. In fact, it has been going on since the mid-nineties...I think. Anyway, the site basically is a collection of pictures either taken by the webmaster or sent in by travellers/tourists in countries where english is not widely spoken. Had a bad day? Did too many stuff at work? Problems creeping up? Well, the more I invite everyone to go and visit the site. Go ahead and have yourself a good laugh. The pictures really are funny. They are the kind that elicits a fuzzy feeling where you ask yourself - WTH??? Case in point:

Would you send your child to learn from a teacher using this?

umm...don't buy for the wife...but may have some use for daughters...

How should you respond to this? Thanks?

What? It never occurred to me that it was in Taiwan.

Well, anyway,at least they have such toilets there.

Hahahaha. The site's hilarious! Oh boy! It has been so long since I've gone to the site. I had such a fun time revisiting this site and it sure made my day. Have a go too!

I remember the Swedish Chef from the Muppet show very well. I had so much fun watching his antics all throughout the shows and it made such a riot even while other sequences were showing. Thus, in commemoration of the great chef, here's some bork, bork, bork!

She could have gone and sang something else, but it seems Mariah made such an impact on her that she just sang away...ummm...something. Anyway, I vote this as the best Idol audition video, ever!

Today was a lousy day. The heat was unbearable. The traffic was excruciatingly terrible. And somebody cut me off. Hello? Did I allow you to do that? I was minding my own business going straight and listening to the radio. Then you do that?

I wonder. Is it really instinctual, NOT to let someone enter in our lane? Would that be considered as selfish? If that would be considered as such, then I'm probably guilty of it. Maybe if not for car doors, I would probably have been into many fights just fending off for myself against these lousy drivers. Arrgh!

They say God does things in mysterious ways. Maybe that is why God did not give me a tank to bring to office everyday. Or an ATC. Either would really be quite useful in times like these. Oh, how I would have loved to 'runneth over bumps of hills and mounds and colorful cars too.' Or race with them and fit my vehicle into impossibly tight middle of two lanes like they do. Ohohoho! That would really be nice.

Oh, well. Since God really, apparently, noticeably, perceptively AND obviously does not want to give me those toys, maybe I can bargain with Him? Dear God, I promise to be good. Can I please have a tank ? Or , Dear God, I promise not to be too rash anymore. Can I pleeeassse have a tank?

On the other hand, His not giving me a tank could be because he works in His own time. That's right. Maybe he will give the tank, but just not now. Hmmm. If so, then I better rehash my prayer too. Dear God, I promise to be good. Can I please have a tank, tomorrow?
