Snippets #3 - Just for laughs

I realised that lil things in life are actually quite amusing if we have the mood that is to slow down our steps and take in the beauty of it all. All right maybe it's just me. I'm easily amused. Like how this afternoon, i was so amused by these 2 ladies who walked the same route all the way from the bus stop back to my house. As we crossed the road, I was guessing that they are fellow residence of my condo, Then as we walked into the estate, I was even more amused (so were they), that we were still walking in the same direction and right into the same block! oh my.. haha n there's 3 lifts serving the 3 sub blocks within my block, so the best part was we each entered the respective 3 lifts. oh my! such coincidence. damn cool lah.

Anyways welcome audience to the show! It's snippets time again!

This time we have Eliz, econs/maths/soci/ibm lecturers, as well as the police officer in india.

At walas (quite some time back, w kenneth),
Eliz: Today is really hot ( pulling on her jacket)
Kenneth and I: ....?

My econs lecturer on rationality...
manfred: Rationality is NOT about morals. It's whether u stick to your choice. Say u have mary now as your girlfriend. Then Lucy came along, so you dump Mary n chose Lucy. Are you rational?
class: (silence... frowns... scratch head... slight unconvincing nods and shakes)
manfred: Of cos you are! You chose Mary back then cos Lucy was not an available choice! Now that Lucy is available, you choose Lucy over Mary. You are RATIONAL.

During maths,
Mansoor: you know people nowadays are really funny. They give acronyms that are not really acronyms for things. weird short forms. Like how umbrella becomes ELLA ELLA ELLA..
Class: (laughs)
Mansoor: weird... so wat's the short for my white board?
Class: (silence)
Mansoor: EBOARD EBOARD EBOARD... EH EH EH

During Soci on the lesson of job hierachy due to factors like prestige, $$ and power...
Porntipa: Just the other day, I bumped into one of the other lecturers in the lift, I cant tell you guys who lah... but anyway he was really excited and said this..
(re-enactment)
He: I cant resist this, i need to share with you my joy. I just sold my shares. Guess how much i earned?
Porntipa: Erm.. How much?
He: 2 million!! (beaming)
(back to class)
Porntipa: And so i also couldnt resist. MUST show off lah in life. So i told him...
(re-enactment)
Porntipa: I also bought 2 properties lately. Both went enbloc. (smiles)
(back to class)
Porntipa: (to the class) shares no good lah.. who knows when the 2 million becomes minus 2 million! Property better!! (smiles widely), must invest in property (smile EVEN more)

today on the BBC radio, an interview with a police officer in India. (this is roughly how it goes)
BBC: Police officials portray an unfriendly image with the people...People usually fear police officials...And today we have Mr____ with us to share with us some instances...
Mr ___: Once I went to visit the temple. When i was about to prostrate before the temple priest as a mark of respect, he looked really fearful and refused to let me do so. This leave me really puzzled. The next day, as i went on the roads to look at the temple posession i saw a familiar face among the temple police guards. turned out it was the priest yesterday! So i asked him why did he disguise himself as a priest. So he explained that the priests were all out and knowing that the temple should not be left without any priest and my arrival, he decided to pose as the priest to please me.
BBC: ... tell us about the cattle incident
Mr ____: Well, once I was really shock to see cattles all packed and roaming around in my office as i walked in. Turned out that there was a complain about cattles going on the roads and into the hearts of the town area, causing disturbance. So the men (police) went on to round up all the cattles from the fields and brought them all back to the police station. It was such a big mess.

I had such a hard time trying not to burst out laughing as i listen to this piece of news on the bus =D

oh my.. how i heart india.
"SING-GA-PORE.... IS IT A SUBURB?'
'ANOTHER COUNTRY?!'
'DEH... MUMBAI.. MUMBAI... INDIA.'

HEH... =D
