To bargain at a night market?
To bargain at a night market?
A colleague complained about a busybody in- law.
“I notice you didn’t bargain when you bought vegetables at the night market just now! I could have gotten at least 30 cents less for them!”
“I would go for bigger and more expensive items to bargain! But certainly not in night markets where some are trying to eke a living!”

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next […]

The Mid-Autumn Festival and mooncakes
The Mid-Autumn Festival and mooncakes
The Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated in Malaysia with lanterns and moon cakes.
When young, we kids used to walk around the village with lanterns in our hands at night. Making lanterns used to be out Art projects, too.
Today, most would play in their own garden.
I asked my daughter if she can make moon cakes. She would say “easy -peasy, mum!” Like Haoyando said “it’s a piece of cake!”

COVID-19 Patient: Watch this breathing technique!
COVID-19 Patient: Watch this breathing technique!
I find this message interesting and logical. It was circulated on social media. The double inspiration and one expiration method was shown to increase oxygen level as experienced by this Covid-19 patient. More studies should be undertaken by scholars. This is to validate this simple breathing technique.

Orang-orang yang tidak hadir- sila angkat tangan anda!
Orang-orang yang tidak hadir- sila angkat tangan anda!
See below for Google translation for Malay (lihat di bawah untuk bahasa melayu).
Semua orang di sini? Mereka yang tidak hadir, tolong angkat tangan! Dalam presentism, peraturan masa kini. Bukan masa lalu, bukan masa depan.
Banyak nama jalan pada zaman penjajahan telah diubah namanya menjadi VIP hari ini. Oleh itu, bahagian sejarah dan kisah mengenai lokasi tersebut hilang. Oleh itu, jika anda hadir, adakah anda akan mengundi?
Pa, anda selalu mengatakan bahawa selama ini, anda mempunyai wang saku sepuluh sen setiap hari! Apa yang boleh dibeli sepuluh sen hari ini? ‘
“Kami biasa menguruskan beban kerja ini dengan separuh tenaga kerja! Anda tidak memerlukan kakitangan tambahan! ‘ berpendapat seorang pengurus jururawat kanan. Ya, tapi hari ini, kita menguruskan pesakit, mesin, dan banyak dan banyak dokumentasi pertahanan! Namun, masa depan mungkin berubah apabila kita mula mendapatkan lebih banyak robot dan bukannya jururawat!
Jangan bandingkan mengapa perkara yang dilakukan ketika itu, tidak dapat dilakukan sekarang, dan sebaliknya. Setiap tempoh mempunyai kelemahan dan kekuatan tersendiri, dan cabarannya sendiri. Namun, cabaran sebenarnya adalah ketika seorang veteran atau ‘ baby boomer’ yang biasa menggunakan kapur dan papan hitam, kini harus menyatu dengan zaman teknologi dan komputer semasa! Seseorang tidak dapat mengawal dan sentiasa ingin membandingkan dan membezakan perbezaan kehidupan antara generasi!

When will everything be back to normal?
When will everything be back to normal?
YH Tan sent a nice geometrical view taken in Dublin. This is good photography… artistic!
It looks like everything is back to normal. I wish for the good old days.

Cos boys don’t hit girls!
"Why are you crying?"
Mary slapped me on my face here!
She lost in 'catching'!
"Did you hit her back?"
Cannot! She will surely cry!
Poor boy, my 'big' boy!
The nanny related this to the boy’s amused mother.
I like the quotes below.
****
- A REAL MAN never hurts a woman. Be very careful when you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. THE WOMAN came out of a man’s rib, NOT from his feet to be walked on, and NOT from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the HEART to be loved.

Should a wife clean after one’s poop?
Should a wife clean after one’s poop?
People with bowel-diversion surgeries
defecate through a stoma, new opening on their tummy.
****
“Hi, I just finished my board meeting
in my hospital room (proudly).
I heard you want to see if
we are managing the stoma alright?”
***
“The last three months,
my wife manages it very well!
There is no bag leakage,
and the skin around the stoma is OK!”
****
His wife wrinkled her nose,
and proceeded to remove
his stoma bag full of faecal matter.
He was not looking at his stoma or the bag.
He was reading a large daily newspaper!
****
“Ok, now go to the bathroom and shower.”
“But, but water will go inside my stoma!”
“No, it won’t!”
***
He came out feeling fresh and happy
“This is the first time I bathe since operation!”
I guided his hands to apply the bag
over his stoma himself.
****
“Let prepare the bag for the next application.
When I come tomorrow, you will remove
and apply the bag yourself, will you?”
****
“Oh, it’s so easy to apply a stoma bag!
I was so scared to touch it before!”
… much to the relief of his wife!
****
No man would have wanted to do his business, and have his spouse to clean his bottom… or the stoma!
The nurses were afraid to slight him. And his spouse was reluctantly obedient. Sometimes, VIP patients need to counselled and coaxed!
