THE SILENT TREATMENT

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each
other the silent treatment.  Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,
he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
‘Please wake me at 5:00 AM ‘ He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM
and he had missed his flight.  Furious, he was about to go and
see why his wife hadn’t wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by
the bed. The paper said, ‘It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.’
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, ‘Relatives of yours?’
‘Yep,’ the wife replied , ‘in-laws

WOMEN’S REVENGE
‘Cash, check or charge?’ I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
‘So, do you always carry your TV remote?’ I asked.
‘No,’ she replied, ‘ but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.’

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN’S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I’m not going to understand women.
I’ll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.

W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day…
30,000 to a man’s 15,000.
The wife replied, ‘The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men…
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, ‘What?’

CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, ‘I don’t know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
‘ The wife responded, ‘Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, ‘You should do it, because you get up first,
and then we don’t have to wait as long to get our coffee.’
The husband said, ‘ You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.’
Wife replies, ‘No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible
that the man should do the coffee.’
Husband replies, ‘I can’t believe that, show me.’
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament
and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says……….’HEBREWS’

God may have created man before woman,

but there is always a rough draft

before the masterpiece.

 

 

NAFA Convocation 2008

“I believe in God, Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth…”

And I truly do believe in Him for it was His grace that led me through three years of NAFA education and it is also through His will that I am now an official diploma graduate of Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts’ Music (Teaching) programme. Hip hip hurray for the Lord God Most High!!!

NAFA Convocation 2008 was held this morning at the Singapore Conference Hall a.k.a the Singapore Chinese Orchestra’s HQ, from [official time] 9a.m to 12p.m. (but we ended earlier). It was sure good to meet our other NAFA mates whom we had gone through hell and high water (of assignments) with. I certainly do miss those days where various kinds of music was constantly around me, especially those free, but compulsory, concerts we attended.

And so, I now announce to you the best graduates from the Music Department’s Diploma Courses… Music Performance (no surprices here): Lu Heng. Music Teaching (had my suspicions and were proven correct): Lee Ching Julia. Well done, you two!!!

And just for those two “lucky” ones, all those music students present gave them two standing ovations (with cheers) when they were to collect their Best Graduates’ Medals, one each. Make a guess who masterminded this. It was our very own *Joshua Chan. LOL!

Here are the nicer photos. Please check my Facebook for more.

P.S: My feet hurts.

P.P.S: I am tired. Yawnz…

P.P.P.S: This is the first time I donned a graduation gown.

Enx and I surrendered our faithful access cards for our diploma certs. We will “miss” them.

The sign says it all. “NAFA Convocation 2008. Guest of Honour: Mr. Benson Puah, CEO, The Esplanade Co. Ltd.”

Not everyone came together for the numerous photo shoots.

With Mr. Adams, the Head of Music

Something to Share… “The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee”

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students respon ded with an unanimous ‘yes.’ The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things – your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions, and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else – the small stuff. ‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

‘Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents.. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.’

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled and said, ‘I’m glad you asked.’

The coffee just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.’
