Chanced upon Joanne P's blog and realised that she writes very very well.. Which sort of reminded me that I needa really improve my almost non-existent english speaking/writing skills!! Its really use it or lose it. Puh! I even had problems describing my back aches to the osteopath which was the first wake up sign. How much worst can I get... My sistas called me a cheena pok because my default language is now CHEEENNEESE!!!

To solve a problems, we have to tackle the root cause which is..... RBS and Yindurens!!!

Its technically not my fault because how can I expect to retain my already not-so-great language proficiency when everyday I have to look at phrases like:-

- India Compliance will review the same and update the same (the same.. the same.. the same simi!!!?!?!?)
- Ok to close the alerts basis the comments attached (there was nothing attached anyway!!)
- Further it is noticed that... further it was noticed that... it was further noticed that... and further, it was noticed that... it was further decided that alert can be closed.. (I swear there are really only 5 sentences and all 5 sentences has the work further.. How far can you get?!?!?!)

GAWD... What should I do to improve my english? or rather, what should I do so that my english does not deprove further to the extent that I cant even make a conversation with a non-yinduren!! (I meant deteriorate.)

Heehee but.. the good news is... I can feel it coming back (thank gawd!!!) I hope :p

Anyways... the following were taken from Joanne P's blog because I like it very much and because it reminds me of my younger days when I first read it.. not to mention its really funny and makes absolute sense!!

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! Soon, a farmer passed by and heard the little bird chirping. Seeing the poor creature covered with dung, he decided to help the bird get out of the mess and placed it under a shrub. By this time, the bird was feeling warm and chirpy. and A cat passing by heard the sounds, saw the bird and ate it up.

Morals of the story?
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) When you’re in deep shit, it might be better just to keep your mouth shut.

A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, “but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

The moral of the story?
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

The moral of the story?
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

A priest was driving along and saw a nun on the side of the road, he stopped and offered her a lift which she gladly accepted. She got in and Crossed her legs, forcing her gown to open and reveal a lovely leg. The priest had a look and nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun looked at him and immediately said, “Father, remember psalm 129?” The priest was flustered and apologized profusely. He forced himself to remove his hand. However, he was unable to remove his eyes from her leg. Further on, while changing gear, he let his hand slide up leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember psalm 129?” Once again the priest apologized. “Sorry sister, but the mind is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun got out, gave him a meaningful glance and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to retrieve a bible and looked up psalm129. It said, “Go forth and seek; further up, and you will find glory.”

The moral of the story?
Always be well informed in your job; Or you might miss a great opportunity.

Something taken from shin's blog (the cancer person who donated her body for research) to remind me to be optimistic about life. Her blog has made me rethink life and personal values.


"A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.

She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded, "What airline are you flying?"

"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"

"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?"

"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called 'Teste'."

"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump, the worst hotel in the city! The rooms are small, the service is surly, and they're overpriced. So, whatcha' doing when you get there?"

"We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope."

"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. "You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."

A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome.

"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.

And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"

"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope."

"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.

Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me." "Oh, really! What'd he say?"

"He asked, 'Where'd you get the crappy hairdo?'" "

Stress of As

Eh eh I ask you ah did you study cross elasticity in poly (i heard cost elasticity at first)? No... Aiya you did right? No I never... Ok ok I ask you ah you know cross elasticity. I Dont Know. What is your question? Okok you know what is cross elasticity right? I DONT KNOW. Ok ok Cross elasticity is like right. Erm if a demand for a felt pen increases, the price demand for a ballpoint pen also increase. (Doesnt sound right but I cant recall the exact words). Do you know? Har is it? Aiya I dont know. What you wanna ask? No you know right if I wanna say that the two of them have price elasticity then how should i say? You say they are price elastic lah! Or there is price elasticity loh! No you know right. Price elasticity also got price inelasticity leh then how to say? You just say, the demand between felt tip pens and ballpoint pens are price elastic or have price elasticity loh. NO got difference one leh price elasticity also got price inelasticity one so how to phrase? If it is inelastic then say it is INELASTIC LAH!! Okie.

Lynch, Lehman, Stearns, Stanley and Sachs were the places that I would like to work in in the future. I guess I am now left with Sachs...... Deutsche and Coutts will do as well but not sure if anything will happen to them since they now fall into my list of companies to work in...

Maybe I am jinxed since every place I wanna work in is in deep trouble... Wahahaha....
