one afternoon, when i was out at work, the niece was playing with the maid in my room, and she said, “i want to play with babywipes.“

i have always been very strict with her regarding the usage of babywipes, so the maid told her, “you cannot play with babywipes. 姑姑 will scold.“

the little mischievious girl replied “姑姑 not at home.“

so looking forward to the day, when we can go home together...

my cousin recently received this out-of-office reply:

"Thank you for your email. I'm traveling (vacation, IETF, customer visit)
now and do not know if I will be able to answer timely, if at all.
Chance is that after return I will have such an email backlog, that I
don't answer your email this year.

If you have an urgent matter to discuss, try to reach my cell phone, or
my colleague, XXX. I will be back on August 10th.

Should you feel that there is a really extremelly urgent matter to
discuss,
Please include in the email subject in capital letters:


"SUPERIMPORTANT, BING, BANG, BONG"
and wire $50 to my banking account. I will try to allocate higher
priority
to your email upon my return.

Seriously: I will be trying to read emails almost every day; bear with
me.

YYY"

*rotflol*

my colleague is damn funny. her e-mail hasn't been working properly for the past week, so when she finally managed to receive e-mails today, this was her reply to me:

"OK!!!
Hooray... Finally...

Means have to work now"

*lol*

met up with a few ex-colleauges yesterday, and also a few ex-jc-mates. it was nice catching up and stuff. there were many jokes shared as we complained about the workplace that brought us together and/or gossiped about people.

but if i could choose, i'd rather not have the chance to meet those people, as it was at a wake that we gathered together.

i don't think anyone who hasn't experienced it, can truly imagine the pain of losing a parent. especially since they have been our pillars of support, right from the day we were borned into this world. even seeing my parents in tears would scare the hell out of me, cos parents are not supposed to break down. they are the ones who will always know what to do, when to do, how to do.

life is so fragile. that's why, at one point of time, i even thought to myself, if there ever come a day that my parents want to live separately, it's ok. just as long as they are happy, and healthy. that's all i need from them.
