April's Dry Humour - Part 1

Recently, the weather is so hot and humid that you can come out after a cold shower perspiring. You don't even need cotton buds to dry your ears as water in and around the ears would evaporate coming out from your ears as steam.

Everybody loves a winner and now that Tiger Woods is prowling again I mean on the golf course, all is forgotten. Lance Armstrong was once such a hero when he won 7 Tour de France titles. Now everyone has slammed him for drugs. I mean if you and I were on drugs, okay no just beers,  I think we can't even find our bicycles.

While the world grapples with economic and financial crises, Singapore are selling houses and cars like hot cakes as if they are free. The only other problem has been with sex. Reading the papers each day made me coin a phrase that Confucius might be proud of: "Man with tool in woman's mouth not necessary dentist".

It is no wonder that people are not getting married. The guys are going "why buy a cow when you can get milk for free?" And the women are thinking "it is not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage."

In China, pigs appeared dumped into rivers. I suspect it to  be the works of Angry Birds. We sure do need lots of humour to keep us going don't you think? Well we are already in April and just have to pick up the pieces of April.

Pieces of April (Three Dog Night)

I was walking on the street the other week and something caught my eye. Some of you may be excited. Naked Waitresses Serve You. Moral of the story is always look at the fine prints and its terms and conditions before you sign up. The sign really said " The NAKED truth about our WAITRESSES is that they only SERVE YOU to make you a regular.
  


















What is this thing about Psy. Now there is even a Gangnam Style hairstylist near where I work.



















This world is a dangerous place. Always be careful what you see or think. Whether you are buying biscuits or grabbing condoms, do not just see a Japanese lady in kimono on the packaging and just take it. "Fantastic Oriental Teriyaki" - what do you think it is? Okamoto?



















Lately, I have a little delay in my sleep patterns. I can only describe to you in Four Pictures One Word. Whether they come in four letters or eight. I could solve them all without any cheat codes or paying with credit points. I can solve all the wifey's problems. One day when I grow up, I could be a 4Picture1Word champion.



















While I am at all these, I am still waiting for that windfall. Sometimes, when money $$$ drop from the sky, be careful. It could be something wrong or it might change you.



















There was this guy who walks into a bar alone. After ordering his beer, he told the guy next to him that he could bite his own eye. In disbelief, the other fella challenged him for 10 bucks. He then took out his false left eye and bit it. Next round, he upped the challenge to $50 saying that he could now bite his right eye. The other guy was thinking that if he could do that, he must be blind. This fellow took out his denture and bit the right eye. Don't challenge people. Either keep your eyes or mouth opened.



















If you have been around, you may agree with me on this.










It is always easier to talk the walk than to walk the talk. Please therefore, do as I say and not do as I do for it is easier to say than to do. Stop following me! Or I will give you a kick!



















Easier to call papa than to be called papa.

For all good intentions, you will never know what it is like to be in another's shoes.



Before I go, let's have one more then we will go!



















Have a great weekend!

Preface It has really been awhile since I have last written and published an article on my blog with the last being in October last year. Before that I have been writing and publishing non-stop for 15 years since 2008.  I was not suffering from writer's block. They say running water never grows stale. So I have to move on to other things since the pandemic has ravaged and torn all asunder. No matter how passionate you are about anything, you will find that after an absence for sometime, the engine gets cold and you find it harder to start.  Just too darned busy and being too busy with one thing means one becomes lazy with the others. The law of compensation. A hiatus if you must.  Covid made it worse as there was no more travelling since borders were closed and eating locally and overseas were curtailed. So I could not write about these things. In fact, I laid out my travel luggage, sat down and spoke to them - "We are not gonna travel for a few years". They have since be

The Kallang Roar! (Part Three)

Back in the good old days, we have four other national teams. Besides the National Team (The Lions), we also have a B team (The Cubs). Then we also competed in the Sultan's Gold Cup fielding a team called Singapore Malays. We have the Singapore Indians playing in the Bardhan Cup and the other being the Singapore Chinese team also competing aga inst Malaysian state teams in the same format and also the Ho Ho Cup triangular among Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. In 1976, Englishman Trevor Hartley became responsible for the Singapore team at age 28. I can't remember which year Singapore beat Malacca 6-2 and Lee Bee Seng was sent off for punching an opponent who must have trampled on him. Here is Bee Seng with Brian Rozario. In the same match Quah Kim Song was sent off too for fighting. And I said wow! Malaysia Cup is like that? I like! (Pix - Lee Bee Seng with Brian Rozario). And can you believe this? Before all these we have Mike Walker who played Kim Song a

The Hainanese

The Hainanese are people from Hainan who originated from Hainan Island - the smallest province of China at the Southern most tip. They were originally fishermen from Fujian and Guandong and later settled over there. The Hainanese, part of the Chinese dispora migrated to different South East Asian countries including late comers to Singapore worked in ships as sailors, opened their own coffee shops or restaurants, bakeries or bars and worked as cooks and chefs and others at local hotels.  Hainanese in Singapore made up 7% of the Chinese population. The Hainanese came to Singapore much later than the Hokkiens and Teochews who are already well entrenched in trade and commerce. Originally they also have problems communicating with other dialect groups as their language seems unintelligible to the others but they began to carve out a name for themselves working for wealthy Europeans including as canteen operators for military bases.  Hainanese are especially with food and beverage.
