DEAF BOOKKEEPER

A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of ten million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first place.

It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about in court.

When the Godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language.

The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me is." The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the money is.

The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you are talking about."

The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about."

The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper's temple and says, "Ask him again!"

The attorney signs to the bookkeeper: "He'll kill you if you don't tell him!"

The bookkeeper signs back: "OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens !"

The Godfather asks the attorney: "Well, what'd he say?"

The attorney replies: "He says you don't have the balls to pull the trigger."

Don't you just love lawyers?

Ha! Ha! trust you have a good laugh.

Have a wonderful weekend.

夫妻生活9条枕边禁语

夫妻生活9条枕边禁语


“关灯，早点睡吧！”：天天这一句，录音重放，表情克隆，不会让他怀疑自己娶了个需要早起耕作的农民。这一句话怎么听怎么像今夜无性事。


“今天交××费，你猜多少钱”：本来温柔的夜晚，本来放松的心情和身体，立刻变得紧急绷紧，破財！还有比这更闹心的事吗？


“你妈又打电话嘮叨……”：告状会一开始，他装聋作哑的神功立竿见影般出现，而是你的告状基本上是性的毁灭剂。


“ 刚才是谁打来的电话呀？”：你酸溜溜的强调，一副挑衅的表情，好像刚才捉姦在床，男人此时唯一的想法就是让你的预言实现。

“那条黄色短信是谁发的”：查手机！在今天，已成为男女最不尊重彼此的方式，每个人都有难言，每个人都需要独立的空间，有尊严的男人会对这种行为深恶痛绝，特別是选在枕边。

“上次那笔生意没戏了吧”：鬱闷了好几天的事终于让她乌鸦的说出，男人被指工作无能，在今天绝不亚于性无能，除非是你今夜不想要的阴谋、除非是对他得罪你的报復，否则金口紧闭吧！

“別跟某某合作，迟早你要吃亏”：这件心里打鼓的事，又被她在床上当话题，合作伙伴、前途、钱途，如此沉重的辞藻，在这个想让爱荡漾的夜晚，你却自以为关心，但那些男人看重的问题，女人最好三思，常常在枕边隨口说，破坏的不只是心情。


“老公，你怎么赚的这么少！”：哪怕你的收入比他高好几百倍，也不要炫耀，男人的自卑此时一定腾空而起。

FAITH

Faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

In short, F.A.I.T.H. mean:-

For
All He is
I
Take
Him.

For
All my needs
I
Trust
Him.

For
All His blessings
I
Thank
Him.

From the above, it well demonstrated that Faith is everything. Faith is the eye that sees the invisible. We have to accept and acknowledge Him that He is our Savior and He is alpha and Omega. Everything begins with Him and Ends with Him as well. He provides all our needs such as He gives us life, Word to guide us and every of our needs such as food, place, air, water, and sun. He fulfill all our needs be it physical, biological, mental and spiritual. In shorts, we provide everything inclusive of happiness, joys, mercy, etc..if we really understand and view it from His perspective.

It forms one of key fundamental pillars of the Christian walk. As such, we must be aware and understand it true meaning. With faith, we are able to believe God when He says that something will to pass or that He will do something for everyone who believe Him. With faith, we will not stumble through our journey. We stumble because we feel the pain, discomfort, worry or fear that all from our flesh or carnal thinking. What we don’t see is that the Heavenly Father is awaiting to reward you with the throne at the finishing line of the race. He knows everything you gone through the race. He even send the Holy Spirit to accompany you, guide you, cheer you, help you and everything you need so as to finish the race.

By now, you can see that the assurance of faith is indispensable for a healthy, powerful growth in the Lord. That’s why God wants us to take and lay up His Word in our heart, because that is the way to strengthen your faith.


Trust you find the above explanation is useful in your walk.

God bless,

James

Be sensitive

或許這篇你早已看過…但,真的有做到嗎……

"多欣賞、少挑剔"，"多灑香水、少吐苦水"
曾有一個大學女學生，與男友交往一年多了，兩人感情蠻穩定的，所以，這女生也就將家人的狀況告訴男友。
她說，她媽媽的脾氣有點怪，常亂發脾氣、或打罵兒女；一有看不順眼的事，就破口大罵，把家裡的人罵得狗血淋頭，而鄰居們也都對她母親敬而遠之。
因此，她在成長過程中，就時常忍受母親「歇斯底里」的怪異脾氣、以及鄰居的「異樣眼光」。
一天，這女生和男友因小事吵架，兩人在爭執不下時，男友突然半開玩笑地說 道：「妳真是無理取鬧耶，妳這種脾氣，跟妳媽有什麼兩樣？」
就這麼一句話，這女生掉頭就走！而且，這一翻臉走人，就再也沒有回頭的餘地！
"為什麼呢？這只不過是一句隨便說說的玩笑話而且，她幹嘛那麼在意？也不讓我有道歉的機會…."男友不解地向朋友訴說委屈，因他不覺得自己犯下什麼滔天大錯。
然而，這女生的態度卻十分堅決，因為她認為－－我將心中的"至痛"全都告訴你，只因你是我的"最愛"；可是，你為什麼要將我"最痛的傷口"拿出來"戳戳看"？
你可知道，我的心好痛、好痛，而且還在淌血嗎？你怎麼"不顧及我的感受？"
" 就這樣，這對情侶因男友一句無心的玩笑話，分手了！這女生始終無法忘懷男友那句讓她"傷心入骨"的話，也深怕那句話，哪天還可能再度深深地戳入她心底，因此，她絕不"重拾舊好"。這真是讓我們警惕－－"勿讓無心話，傷害有情人啊！"
不过"得饒人處且饒人"，尤其是對自己最親密的人所說的"無心話"，是否一定要判定為"罪不可赦"，甚至造成感情上兩敗俱傷的"雙輸"呢？



曾有五位年輕朋友一起開車去聚餐，可是在停車場找車位時，因假日的關係，車子停得十分凌亂、擁擠。
正當開車的宗賢心煩地在大小車陣中前進、且找不到停車位時，旁坐的女友心潔以溫和的口吻說："宗賢，小心一點，快擦撞到了哦！"
宗賢看了看兩邊後視鏡，沒說話，只是繼續前進。
不久，心潔又有些擔心地說："小心、小心， 慢一點，這樣會擦到右邊的車子哦！"
這時，宗賢不耐煩地說："好啦，我知道啦，我自己會看啦！妳不要一直嘮叨、一直製造緊張好不好？真是囉嗦！"
這時，車內的氣氛凝結住了，大家都不知道說什麼好，也都沒再說話。
好不容易找到停車位後，大家進入餐廳聚餐；當大家先喝著冰涼的開水時，心潔突然對大家說道："我今天好開心哦！"
好友小珊聽了，說道："心潔，我覺得每次看到妳，妳好像都很開心！"
"是啊，我只要一想到宗賢是我男朋友，常辛苦開車載我，我就覺得很開心、很快樂啊！"心潔神情愉快地對著大夥兒說。
而這麼一說，在旁的男友宗賢反而一陣臉紅，有點"不好意思"，也為他自己剛才在找停車位時的"不耐煩口氣"，向心潔和大夥兒致歉！

有人說："愈親密的人，愈知道怎麼傷害對方。"
的確，最愛你的人，常"傷害你最深"！而且，身旁最親密的人不必"用力戳"，只要隨便"劃一刀"，就會使自己痛得不得了；就像本文中的大學女生，被男友無心的一句話刺痛得"恨之入骨"一樣。
所以，在男女溝通出現小的"傷口"和"裂痕"時，就必須趕快"彌補"，而不能"以己度人"地認為："開開玩笑而巳嘛，有什麼好生氣的？"－－畢竟每個人最痛的"致命傷"不一樣，不能"想當然耳"呀！
其實，"主動道歉"並不是"認輸"，而是"真正成熟"的表現；只有放下自 尊，謙卑、主動地伸出"道歉、示好"的手，才能彌補雙方逐漸擴大的"裂痕"啊！
常言道：夫妻有四種－－"打罵夫妻、互管夫妻、互助夫妻、感恩夫妻。"
"打罵、互管"的夫妻，真的是稀鬆平常、到處可見；但要做到"相互感恩"的夫妻，則並不容易、也不多見啊！
因為有些太太時常哭哭啼啼地埋怨－－"婚前，他可以一邊喝咖啡、一邊聽我訴說一個下午，現在我唸他幾句，他都謙我囉嗦！婚前，他都把我當成手心的寶；婚後，他卻把我當成手上的草！嗚.."
不過，也有一個王太太時常公開地稱讚她先生說："我這個老公啊，人真是很好，我真的很佩服他，因為他經常『勇於認錯』，只是『絕不改過』！"
說真的，"多欣賞、少挑剔"，"多感恩、少責備"，"多灑香水、少吐苦水"，就一定可以減少生活中的磨擦。
於千萬人之中遇見你所遇見的人，沒有早一步，也沒有晚一步，只是『剛巧趕上』了。或許應該積極尋求在『對的』時間裡，創造幸福的愛情 。
把握住每一位出現在你身邊的人。

Be cautious when buying mandarin oranges

Chinese new year is drawing near.

When buy Chinese oranges please beware of the worms inside. These worms are very similar to the texture of the orange and therefore can only be observe if you look carefully (long sighted person may not notice).

The Chinese government had in fact made effort to destroy hundreds of tons of these oranges and compensate the farmers for these. But however some culprit may still sell it illegally. That's why we need to be careful.

Whether the worms is harmful to the human body or not is still questionable. But generally if few numbers are consumed it should not make any harm according to doctors. It is advisable to be careful about it.

Inspiring article

InnerSelf.com - Daily Inspiration:

The life we experience is the product of the vision we use to interpret events. At any moment we can see through the eyes of appreciation or criticism. And we will see more of whatever we are focusing on. We master the game of life by finding good wherever we look. And there is much good to be found.

Shakespeare declared, "There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so." We see the world not as it is, but as we are. Changing the world is not about setting it right, but seeing it right. If you believe the world is broken and you need to fix it, you will find more and more things broken. If you see the world as whole and beautiful, you will find more and more things to celebrate.

Ram Dass noted there are three kinds of people: those who say, "not enough!"; those who say, "too much!"; and those who say, "ah, just right!" Actually, there are just two kinds of people, for "too much" of one thing is really "not enough" of another. We are continuously choosing between affirmation and resistance.

EXCERPTED FROM the InnerSelf.com article:
A True Perfectionist
by Alan Cohen.

A True Perfectionist
by Alan Cohen

A friend of mine declared, "I used to think I was a perfectionist. I found the tiniest flaws in everything. Then I realized I was not a perfectionist at all; I was an imperfectionist! If I was a perfectionist, I would see perfection wherever I look."

The life we experience is the product of the vision we use to interpret events. At any moment we can see through the eyes of appreciation or criticism. And we will see more of whatever we are focusing on. We master the game of life by finding good wherever we look. And there is much good to be found.

While having lunch with some business associates at an upscale restaurant, one of our party asked the waiter for an unusual dish not on the menu. The waiter replied that he would ask the chef to accommodate the request. Then another member of our group sarcastically commented, "I'll bet that will just tweak the chef's day!"
But the waiter did not flinch. "Actually," he replied smoothly, "I'm sure he will be glad to accommodate you -- this gives him a chance to shine."

Every situation gives us a chance to shine, if we recognize our power as creative spirits. No situation is any one way, except what we make it. You can make anything out of anything. So why not make it perfect?

The story is told about a man who was walking along a city street when a flower pot fell off a sill above him and crashed at his feet, missing him by inches. There are four paths of response the man might take. First, the path of knee-jerk reaction: he would yell a curse toward the window or perhaps dash up the stairs, find the owner, and punch him out. Second, the path of the victim: this experience would confirm his belief that the world is out to get him, and he would go about the rest of his day protecting himself from evil, retelling his story many times. Third, the path of detachment: he would rationalize that this was his karma, do nothing, and just keep walking. Finally, the path of love: he would go to the flower store on the corner, buy a new plant, and deliver it to the person whose plant had been blown off the sill by the wind.

Shakespeare declared, "There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so." We see the world not as it is, but as we are. Changing the world is not about setting it right, but seeing it right. If you believe the world is broken and you need to fix it, you will find more and more things broken. If you see the world as whole and beautiful, you will find more and more things to celebrate.

Ram Dass noted there are three kinds of people: those who say, "not enough!"; those who say, "too much!"; and those who say, "ah, just right!" Actually, there are just two kinds of people, for "too much" of one thing is really "not enough" of another. We are continuously choosing between affirmation and resistance.

Does seeing perfection mean we are to simply be passive observers and sit around and do nothing? Not at all. Perfection includes the process of changing, growing, expanding, improving, and moving ahead. But our actions to improve do not proceed from an attitude of pushing against lack. They proceed from a sense that things are already good, and wouldn't it be a delightful adventure to make them better? The true perfectionist creates effective change by seeing the highest possibilities and becoming so excited about them, that conditions must rise to match the vision.
Several years ago while I was walking through the Los Angeles airport, I felt annoyed by the massive construction going on. I saw ugly makeshift plywood walls to my left and right, a maze of paint-laden scaffolds, and long winding detours to baggage claim. I grumbled to myself about what a mess the place was, and how long it was taking to fix it. Then I discovered a sign that stopped me in my tracks. It was an artist's rendering of what the airport would look like when the construction was complete. It was magnificent! The glass atrium roofs, sleek marbled corridors, and potted palms were a delight to behold -- a far cry from the current mess. Then I relaxed. If that is what this is leading to, I thought, then I am glad they are doing it. When I dropped my resistance, I enjoyed the process, including the construction phase.

The entire universe is in a construction phase, never totally complete as it is, but always perfect as it unfolds. When you appreciate the beauty as you go, you become a true perfectionist.

Changes

Changes is inevitable. Changes is good, that why God made such changes throughout our lives for His purpose. In fact, everything change over time, except God and His Word.

As such, we at this blog remind you that you must be ready to expect the unexpected, that is life. God never give overcoming life, but give you life to overcome all challenges - that makes your life colorful and meaningful.

Without change, there is no progress. Just imagine the day man were created. If there is no changes, you were not existed. Similarly, even if you were born , you were not grow old and grow up as well. Therefore, it is naturally that we are used to the changes directly or indirectly. That is nothing to be fear of, so long as you abide to His word. He is inside you and of course He is guiding you along, so long as you are listen to the voice of your heart, and not your flesh.

He is sovereign, yet He honors all His covenants. That's why we call His covenants everlasting covenants, a promise through blood, has a very great significant effect and important. From the Scripture, you can all His deliver all His covenants from day one such promises made to Moses where He part the Red Sea; Joshua - the destruction of Jericho; Abraham - father of all nations and endless examples.

With the economic and political uncertainty, we urge you to be strong and never be influenced by your sight. Focus on Him and be strong on your faith. Be faithful to your death, the rewards of your faithfulness is far greater than any thing on earth. Always bear in mind that whatever on earth is temporary in nature. You should look far beyond your life on earth . The plain truth is that naked you come; naked you go. Therefore, it is wise to store wealth on eternity, which is permanent in nature.

God bless,

James

BE BRAVE

Life is short and we ought to live meaningful as well as to leave behind legacy for a betterment of our next generations, because we care and love.

Nothing is impossible.What more to say especially you know well that the MIGHTY and LIVING GOD is with you. That's His promises well written in Scripture. Therefore, we urge you to speak out bravely, carrying what He has planned for us. Remember the phrase in Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through Christ who strengthen me. If you face any difficulty, remember He is inside you and ask Him for help. He shall never abandon any of us, because He cares for everyone. We ought to walk by faith, and not by sight. Never let your eye to sidetrack us. What is more important is those invisible and permanent in nature. What we can see will be in temporary nature and will perish over times.

We pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts.

ONE PARAGRAPH WHICH EXPLAINS LIFE!

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which
he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in
1983.

From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which
conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

To this Arthur Ashe replied:

"The world over -- 50 million children start playing tennis, 5
million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis,
50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach
Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, when I was holding a
cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'. And today in pain I should not be
asking GOD 'Why me?' "

"Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrow keeps
you Human, Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing,
but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...

Trust you find the above statement inspiring and motivating. Remember to share with others as so to cheer others as well. Always pass on, what others have taught you, to others. By doing that others progress, you do progress further.

11 things you will not learn in school - Bill Gates

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this!

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality.
This concept set them up for failure in the real world.



Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills,cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

If you agree, share it with your circle of friends. If you don't then ignore it.
That's refer as decisive reasoning.

If you can read this - Thank a teacher and your parents.
If you can read this in English - Thank a Veteran.

Through the window

A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast,
the young woman sees her neighbour hanging the
wash outside.

"That laundry is not very clean", she said. "She
doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she
needs better laundry soap"

Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every
time her neighbour would hang her wash to dry, the
young woman would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to
see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her
husband: "Look, she has learned how to wash correctly.
I wonder who taught her this?"

The husband said, "I got up this morning and cleaned
our windows."

And so it is with life. What we see when
watching others, depends on the purity of the
window through which we look.


See you online again.

In my preceding article, we share with you the truth that it all starts with God. The crucial point of it is that this is the truth. It has been well supported by documentary evidence such as scripture, abundance of signs and wonders surrounding us.

If these still cannot convince you, you may find abundance of other physical evidences such as past and current testimonials from witnesses who have seen such miracles and other physical evidences unearthed by the archeologists.

However, you may even hear directly from the living witnesses. Even up to date there are still abundance of miracles happens everyday and everywhere, which have been eye witnessed by thousands or millions people, some of them are even well supported by scientific proof.

Another advantage for you to believe in God is that it offers you another territory zone known as spiritual world, where science has no access to it. It is well accepted fact that science can access to the human being from mental and physical aspects only, but no access to the human spiritual aspect, which is even more powerful than our mental aspect. Hence, you may see that you leave out a crucial components of the human beings.

Once you believe in God, you may also be able to see the invisible world once you have equipped with His words and believe in it. As it will also serve as mirror to reveal the carnal nature of yourself to you, which otherwise you are not capable to see by your own means.

You must note that it is supreme important for you to see through yourself because you will then be able to stress your potential to the maximum. Another word, His Word will give you grace, power, endurance, whatsoever to overcome the barriers you otherwise not possible to overcome it. As such, you may be used by Him to do His purpose so as to solve the world issue at large. That's why it is paramount important for us to realize our own selves. You may also realize that human by his own nature practice double standard, yet their expect the other people not do the same. This have been applied across all levels of social position of that particular person. Worst still, some of them, even at a very high level of official ranking can sing different songs at different situations. No doubts, they may appear to be a just and person. But if you look deep inside that particular action of theirs, the truth will surface. The question arises whether are they do it deliberately or unintentionally. We do hope that the latter is the case. Otherwise, we will pray for them that God reveal to them. Amen.

Some may argue that believe in God is the shifting of mindset and focus. We, like to iterate that it is far more than that. It is also very difficult to use words to describe the true experience unless you have personally gone through such process. Once you have taste the fruit of the spiritual fruit, you will know that how sweet is it and you will not want to let it go, at whatever price. Because you know that it is worth to do so. That is why you will see so many Christians can conquer even death. To them, death is joyful thing, contrary to common belief and tradition. If you look at the Chinese tradition, they will not discuss about this subject, despite that the fact that you will face it one day. Not facing it, does not mean that you have solved it, or it has no existence. But, we rather put it as they have a fear on this subject. Alternatively, they do not have the courage to talk about it. Won't you think that it is more appropriate that we take the courage to face it and solve it, once and for all, if there is a solution to it. Nothing is impossible, every issue has its solution. Because God is great, He makes all solutions available in His word and we need to seek Him for guidance from time to time, so that we do not depart from His word. It is also true to say that Christian is not a religion per se, but rather than building personal relationship with God. He gave you a DIRECT ACCESS to Him, which works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you don't need to go operator or answering machine, full coverage at any and every corner of the world, you may use any dialect or language He can understand, even you don't speak, He can also understand through your gesture. A very strong and powerful communication line to you to keep constant in touch with you, because He cares and loves you. So, He will guide you to do what He has planned for you, well before you were born, if you were consulted Him - all these are well recorded in the book of life.

See you online again so that we can share more with you what we have gone through. Thank you for your time and efforts to visit this blog.

God bless,

All begins with God

Dear visitors,

You may heard about Bertrand Russell, atheist who has made a famous and wise statement that Unless you assume a God, the question of life's purpose is meaningless.

His statement is not only accurate and precise, but it also well demonstrate that all theories has its own fault, only the God's law is perfect. More over, everything will change over time except God's word will remain true forever.

A lot of things cannot be explained, unless you assume God there. Otherwise, there will end up with either circulating argument or explanation. For instance, is chick comes before egg? a question is an answer by itself. It is mockery, yet the truth. To give an answer to that question, it will raise more questions than answer. Have you ever ponder or wonder why it happens in this manner.

That's because we typically begin at the wrong starting point or premise which most of the times we intentionally or unintentionally deny this flaw due to certain reason know best to the speaker.

Similarly, if you desire to find the answer about the purpose of yourself. In this sense, you must begin with God, the one who create you. You were created for His purpose. Other than this, life will never make sense. Hence, it is more appropriate that we look at the big picture rather than to focus on yourself. Wrong focus on issue will lead you to address the wrong or petty issue, which may not be something significant and related at all. In short, you will never find the right answer or the truth. Therefore, we, at this blog, eagerly to point out the danger of any theory that begins with the wrong premise.

Please take sometime to ponder seriously and let Lord reveals even to you if you have any disagreement to the above statement.

See you online again. We shall continue to discuss this basic fundamental issue again and again until you grasp the gist of it.

Have a fruitful day,

James Oh

Code name from girls

This joke is good and imaginative!
You deserve a good hearty laugh now and then.

Jokes -- Code name from girls


Once upon a time in Singapore, there lived a happy couple, Mr. & Mrs. Ng with their 3 lovely daughters; Elaine, Ena & Ella.

The 3 daughters were brought up in a prim-and-proper way and when they reached 20, they were still virgins.
Years passed, and it was time to get them married.

So, the parents found them the most suitable ' leng chais ' (handsome guys).
They got married and were preparing to set-off on their honeymoon.

As ' concerned ' (more like ' kay-poh ' ) parents, Mr.& Mrs. Ng were curious about their daughters ' first-night experience.
So, before the daughters went on their respective honeymoons, Mrs. Ng told them...... ' Your father and I want to know about your 1st night encounters and whether you are satisfied. Write a letter to us, but as not to raise your husbands ' curiosity... you all must use a code-name to describe your experiences ' .

So, the excited daughters were off. A week passed.
Mr. & Mrs. Ng got the first letter. It was from Elaine.
They opened the letter and found the word STANDARD CHARTERED. They immediately took the newspaper and looked for the Standard Chartered advertisement. ' Ah! here it is! ' , exclaimed Mr. Ng. The motto for Standard Chartered was... ' BIG, STRONG & FRIENDLY '.
Mr & Mrs. Ng were happy.

A week later, they got another letter. This time it was from Ena. The content was simple. 'NESCAFE ' . So, again they took the newspaper and looked for the Nescafe ad. ' Ah! here it is. ' NESCAFE: PLEASURE TILL THE LAST DROP ' . Mr. & Mrs. Ng beamed with joy.
Another week passed. A month passed. And another. There was still no letter from Ella.
The Ngs became worried.
Finally, the letter came. It was scribbled and could hardly be read, but Mrs. Ng managed to figure it out. The code-name was ' SINGAPORE AIRLINES ' . Why Singapore Airlines? Mr.Ng rushed to the nearest store and got a newspaper. He flipped the pages frantically. ' Ah! Here it is! ' Mrs. Ng grabbed the page and read aloud. Before she could finish ...THUMP!!!. ..she fell off her chair. The motto was ... ' 7 TIMES A WEEK. 4 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP '!

Useful prayer words

GRATEFUL
I once was lost,
now am found,
was blind,
but now I see.
I like to thank You for Your daily provision of life and strength,
and for countless good things You give me each day.

My times are in my Father's hand;
How could I wish or ask for more?
For He who has my path way planned,
will give me till my journey over.


REQUEST
Lord, grant me grace throughout this day,
To walk the straight and narrow way,
To do whatsoever in Thy sight,
Is good and perfect, just and right.

O Lord, You see what's in the heart,
There is nothing hid from You,
So help us live the kind of life,
That's filled with love for You

Let Your word fill my heart,
Rule my heart, and guide my tongue.

STRENGTH
To walk close by Your side,
my dear Savior.
To be led by You, doing each task,
To feast richly on grace of Your table,
And know You are all that I ask.


Truth
Jesus said that we had have trouble
In this world so filled with sin,
But we need not be discouraged-
He will give peace and joy within. - Like the lotus living in the mud- stay unpolluted.

Injustices are hard to bear,
They make us want to fight;
(stay control of our selves; don't act by our flesh; let God be God; don't stir up issue to disharmony the society)
But God knows what we are going through,
In time He will make things right.

Merry Christmas

Jesus is Better than Santa

Santa lives at the North Pole.

JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh

JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year

JESUS is an ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies

JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited

JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.

You have to stand in line to see Santa

JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap

JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"

JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly

JESUS has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO

JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says "You better not cry"

JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.

Santa's little helpers make toys

JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle but

JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree

JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.

It's obvious there is really no comparison.

We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.

We need to put Christ back in Christmas.

Jesus is still the reason for the season.

INVALUABLE TIPS

Take 2 minutes and read through this; you will be amazed at what you can learn!

Bed Sheets
After drying sheets, put both sheets and one pillowcase in the other pillow case. Fold neatly in a square. Next time you change sheets, you just take the one pillow case and all the sheets and pillow case are inside. No need to look for matches.

Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.

Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

Broken Glass
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken pieces of glass - the fibers catch ones you can't see!

Easier thank you's
When you throw a bridal/baby shower, buy a pack of thank you cards for the guest of honor. During the party, pass out the envelopes and have everyone put their address on one. When the bride/new mother sends the thank you's, they're all addressed!

Name tag
If you purchase a new bike for your child, place their picture inside the handle bar before placing the grips on. If the bike is stolen and later recovered, remove the grip and there is your proof who owns the bike.

Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and -- voila -- static is gone.

Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry the cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser!
Works better than a cloth!

Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Voila! It unseals easily.

Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair...

Good-bye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it 1/2 with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' & can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, esp. if it rains, but it works & you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

Take baby powder to the beach
Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When you're ready to leave the beach sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder and the sand will slide right off your skin.

Congratulations!!!!

You Have Become Much Smarter NOW!!
