Hilarious happenings

There were a number of extreme Hilarious encounters eg.

when I was abt 5 I accompanied my mum on one of her visit to her frens near Beauty World (durin then it was still undevelope n was a cluster of kampong houses). n this particular kampong did not have modern toilet facilties. e toilets are common toilets tat are built like elevevated little hse which had a bucket beneath to "catch" all e wastes. n dear me with all my playmates decided to pay a visit to e toilet. though i had no urgent need to do any "biz" i wanted to join it e "fun" as everybody were makin a bee-line. prior to this i had nvr used a common toilet b4. so when it's my turn i bravely step into e toilet n my.... e openin for e "wastes" was huge! i spread my short legs to each side but i dunno how one of my legs landed into e bucket below! my legs mus b too short! oh gosh! i can still remember all e smelly yucky wastes coverin my leg! i managed to pull my leg out n went cryin to my mum.
******************************
there was this time when i was abt 9 my sister (she's 10yrs older) sent me on an errand to buy "cotton wool" fr e medical shop. i happily took e moni n went to e medical shop n told e shopkeeper (male) tat i needed to buy 2 dollars of "cotton wool". He gave me a v quizzical look n ask me if i'm sure i wanted "cotton wool" n not something else. i was pretty confident i didn't hear my sister wrongly n told him so. i took home a big bag of "cotton wool". Guess wat?? my sister on seeing e "cotton wool" told me it was e wrong thing. she had wanted me to buy sanitary pads! OMG.... y din she juz say so! wat's she thinkin! so poor me got to bring e "cotton wool" back to change 4 e sanitary pads!
****************************************************
when i was in kindergarten1(i spent 3 mths there) n durin 1 of breaks where we were given food my teacher told e class they're not to put back the bowls till it's totally empty. n it happened to b e food i hated e most, green bean soup. e girl tat was sitting beside me was so smart, she quickly scooped wat's left of hers into my bowl n got up to put her bowl away. i was mortified! it nearly drove me to tears! it was pure torture tat day 4 me. till this day i still hated green bean soup. My fav. food then was tea w biscuit.... still is :)

Rules in Schools

In order to move forward in the world MOE got to do a better job on the "types" of teachers they recruit! Some of the teachers (especially in primary schools) have a huge ego problem! They'll insist they're rite irregardless n expect students to obey blindly. OMG... n they wan to have a "creative" generation??

n there're teacher who're obsessed w wat the students are wearing to e point of absurdity! there's this teacher in a primary school tat make it a daily ritual to "torment" the students regarding the length of their skirt (mind u it's onli slightly abv e knee) n e earrings tat they're wearing. She insist tat e students can onli wear stud earrings n not simple ring earrings!

Then there're teachers tat're not even competent in e English language teachin n markin Eng. compo. they put a huge "?" at the v start of the compo. n ask 'wat is this thing'... if at e v 1st sentence u know everything then where's e need to write more?? y can't e teacher read on n enjoy e twist n mystery which will unravel at e end?? mus our essays b direct n straight forward in order to score (so y call it creative writing)? teachers got to realize tat students tat're competent in e language are v well read n may've developed a writing style of their own. so we'll get no where in our English language if teachers first n fore most are not willing to recognize "talents" when they c it!

What's a Good Man??

This question has interesting ans. depending wat age u're.... at least tat's e conclusion i've come to so far. A woman mayb attracted to a man 4 all e wrong reasons.

When u're in yr teens a guy tat's good looking (tat also diff. somewhat w age... :).. ) may attract yr attention but will not matter as much if u're older. A guy tat's caring towards his family (remember tat's not u yet) may not make a good husband. Ironically if he's selfish n his whole universe revolves around u may also make him a poor husband (he mayb overly possesive n paranoid). so how??

Look 4 a guy tat tend to put yr interest first n not every Tom, dick n Harry besides his family (tat's not u) ...nvr fall in love w a guy tat sits on high moral grounds n always do wat he thinks is morally correct as he seldom remembers tat part of his "duty" is to look after u too.

e next no-no on e list will b his temper... 4get.. dump him if he has a fiery temper. u'll b saved a lot of heartaches later. dun try to b hero... u can NEVER chg a person's personality... if u're lucky (dun count on it) w age he can tamper it a little.

if he worships his mother.. 4get him... tat's something u'll not wan livin w as unconsciously he tend to make remarks tat hurts u w/o realising it. u can b sure his precious mum will view u as a threatening opponent for his love. n he on e other hand thinks mum can do no wrong so problem lays w U! dun get yrself in such situation.

but no matter wat... a 'white knight' nvr comes riding! so b realistic... even if a guy profuses his undying love he got to prove it in actions otherwise it'll always b juz hollow talk. hahaha barking dogs nvr bites.
