Alligator Shoes

A man was on holiday in the depths of Louisiana, where he tried to buy some Alligator shoes. However he was not prepared to pay the high prices, and after having failed to haggle the vendor down to a reasonable price level, ended up shouting "I don't give two hoots for your shoes man, I'll go and kill my own "croc!," to which the shopkeeper replied, "by all means, just watch out for those two "ole boys" who are doing the same!".

So the man went out into the bayou, and after a while saw two men with spears, standing still in the water. 'They must be the 'ole boys' he thought. Just at that point he noticed an alligator moving in the water towards one of them. The guy stood completely passive, even as the gator came ever closer.

Just as the beast was about to swallow him, he struck home with his spear and wrestled the gator up onto the beach, where several were already lying. Together the two guys threw the gator onto its back, whereupon one exclaimed

"Darn! This one doesn't have any shoes either!"

Injured Left Hand

On a rainy Sunday afternoon, a guy was trying to open a gate in order to leave a building and upon the lifting of the left leg, this guy was already floating in the air.

Fast reaction prevented any unwanted facial injury as the hands reacted fast in blocking the fall. The left palm suffered laceration. The left elbow suffered acute pain causing worries in my heart - broken or fractured elbow? Oh no!

My friend who saw how I fell said I took off as if it was a 100m sprint but forgot to nail down my starting block (used for take-off by runners)...... hehe

Was sent to the Taman Desa Hospital by a friend in my car (became a passenger in my own car). Doctor on duty said "Come back tomorrow morning to see if there's any swelling. If there is, there could be a fracture. Since you could move your fingers/elbow, your elbow is not broken."

Morning came and left picture was a dressing done on Monday morning.

The doctor quite a number of twist on my elbow, some simple tests to determine whether there was any fracture.

"Any pain?" asked the doctor.

"As long as you are pressing against that particular part, I felt the pain, otherwise the movements didn't cause any pain." was my reply.

"In that case, your elbow is alright." said the lady doctor.

And the picture on the left was taken at 10pm Monday night. A swollen elbow.

Still ok????? See how again tomorrow morning. Felt tired on the left elbow region. That was the reason for quietness in my blog.

Young Man's Life

The Christmas dramas are getting on very well with all 4 teams going into the November month trying to discard their drama scripts. Have to start memorising their scripts fast before their presentation starts in the month of December.
One of the dramas which depicts the life of a newly graduated young man has a group of hardworking actors/actresses who are having practises twice a week as their days are numbered. Keep it up fellas.
This drama is entitled "The Ladder".

Peaceful Public Gathering (II)

Bersih, the organiser for Saturday's peaceful march to deliver a memorandum calling for a clean and fair election (which could materialise any time). It was heard that police will monitor cars coming from other states into the city early morning onwards, maybe stopping them from entering the city. Rumours are also heard that outstation participants will flock into the city by Friday night or wee hours of Saturday morning.

The organiser did mention that four alternative places be fixed as the gathering place if Dataran Merdeka was closed to the public by the police manning the area. The four alternative places are Sogo departmental store area, Masjid India area, Central Market and Masjid Negara.

The peaceful gathering will still commence at 3pm where participants will continue with a peaceful march towards the King's palace. The organiser was targetting the presence of 100,000 people in this rally. Wow..... if there were 100,000 people, both the traffic direction in front of the King's palace would be packed to the maximum.

Advise Kuala Lumpur folks not to go near that those areas being mentioned else they will be caught in the mother of all traffic jams. My view on this gathering - the general public are calling for a clean and fair election only. If the relevant authorities are worried that it might caused ruckus, please do arrest those troublemakers but leave the others alone. I hope that many international observers or international new agencies will be amongst the participants to witness the event as independent observers.

I would say this is not a protest but a request by all Malaysians of all races.

As for me, people may ask where were you since you wrote so much about this peaceful gathering. Well, I'll be tied down with my church drama practises tomorrow, with one of the practises beginning at 10am and followed by another one at 3pm. Later at 5pm, will be a dance practise followed by its drama practise for another team. I'll be like camping in church for the whole day. But I'll be praying for the event and participants.

Remember to wear YELLOW tomorrow wherever you are. If you can't join them, be with them in spirit or what people will usually say "Moral Support".

Call Centre Operators

I'm sure you have called some companies, banks or mobile phone operator where they would redirect your calls to their call centres who would respond accordingly. Some organisations have an automated response only which would direct you to a specific person by pressing the right number. In the scenario below, it was a call directed to a State Mental Hospital:-

* If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number to press.
* If you are manic-depressive, it doesn't matter which number you press, nothing will make you happy anyway.
* If you are dyslexic, press 9696969696969696.

Pisa Tower Dropped to 2nd Placing

The Leaning Tower of Pisa (the name which has been given long time ago) has been drawing lots of visitors to their leaning tower.

Of late, a challenge came from a church steeple in Germany.

And according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the tower in the small village of Suurhusen in northwestern Germany leans more than the famous tower in Pisa in Italy.

They say Pisa's tower tilts at an angle of 3.97 degrees, whereas the tower in Suurhusen leans at 5.07 degrees. As of today, the tower in Suurhusen is ranked no. 1. Frankly, who wants their building to be tilting and challenge for the no. 1 ranking. (source: Reuters)
