He said, "Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you." We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye. But at home a different story is told, How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked him down. "Move out of the way," I said with a frown. He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken. While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said, "While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes." By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by his bed; "Wake up, little one, wake up," I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree. I picked 'em because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue." I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way." He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway." I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue." FAMILY I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue." I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way." He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway." I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue." FAMILY Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think? So what is behind the story? Do you know what the word FAMILY means? FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU Personal http://www.zorpia.com/NemesisAlien/journal/1587607 Sat, 09 Sep 2006 12:06 EST A Story From the Mental Hospital http://www.zorpia.com/NemesisAlien/journal/1587605  Nam weng and Mary were both patients in a Mental  Hospital.One day, while they were walking past the  hospital swimming pool, Nam weng suddenly jumped into the deep  end. He sank like a stone to the bottom and stayed there.  Mary promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to  the bottom and pulled him out.  When the medical director became aware of Mary's  Heroic act, he immediately ordered her to be  discharged from the hospital, as he now considered her to be  mentally stable.When he went to tell her the news, he said,  "Mary, I have good news & bad news. The good news  is you're being discharged because since you  Were able to jump in and save the life of another patient, I think you've Regained your senses". "The bad news is that Nam weng, the patient you saved Hanged himself in the bathroom with the belt of his robe. I am so Sorry, but he's dead". Mary replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry" Gossips & Jokes http://www.zorpia.com/NemesisAlien/journal/1587605 Sat, 09 Sep 2006 12:02 EST Geek Test Version 2.1 http://www.zorpia.com/NemesisAlien/journal/1586040 the geek test v.3.1 I HAVE... programmed a calculator in math class studied a language on my own always hated mainstream dated a geek married a geek done homework that wasn't required done homework for somebody else looked forward to dissecting a frog, pig, etc. looked forward to doing my taxes attended public academic lectures on my own studied an artificial language (such as Klingon) created an artificial language filed the Census as my persona worn 2+ watches at the same time to keep track of multiple time zones named a pet after a scientist or inventor after a gaming, literary, or B-movie character after a mythological being after a technical term a Ph.D. a perfect attendance record in high school in college taken notes in more than one color thought I could win a quiz show corrected a professor in class corrected a salesperson on technical specs corrected a supervisor on spelling or grammar written a letter to the editor written fan fiction written hypertext fiction written for a webzine created a webzine indexed and catalogued any personal collection a subscription to a sci-fi or computer magazine an anthropological or history magazine a nature or science magazine a financial or literary magazine to a games or gaming magazine solved a Rubik's cube solved an entire 500+ piece puzzle I HAVE BEEN...

Chants of "balik kampong" can usually be heard at the National Stadium by Singaporean fans trying to scare the visiting soccer team. But we ALL know who's really going to "balik kampong" in the end. "Aiyah, why you go and listen to him? Just tell him to balik kampong, lah!" BALU A Hokkien term, but derived from the Malay word "baru", meaning "recently". "This handphone balu bueh eh and oreddy koyak." (I bought this handphone only recently and it's already broken." BANG Onomatopoeic term denoting exasperation or frustration. Similar to "Pek Chek".

BAYI See Bhai BECAUSE THE SKY IS SO HIGH, THE BIRD SHIT IN YOUR EYE (Contributed by Edwin) This phrase is essentially an annoyed retort to being asked "why", and conveys the meaning that the questioner ought to mind his or her own business. Popular in the mid-70's, its usage began to decline in the early 80's and is rarely heard these days. Sally: " Eh, Jasmine, how come I never see you with Roger anymore?"
