Happy Frenship Day

Happy Frenship Day!!

Really, as a senior colleague said, V Day is just one of those lolly-making day for pple. A cliche th he also said was, if couples love each other, everydae is V Day. Which is true anyw, just like Mothers' and Fathers' Day

Taking this bloggie entry as yet another summary of Marpigz thoughts and discoveries, here are sm interesting bits to share:

1) It is United Kingdom but therez always smth bout the Scots, English, Welsh and Irish (Northern). Each has their own Parliaments and laws. England has her own, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well. Every1 must know bout football. (In the UK, itz not called soccer; which the Yanks called the game) But, ttz not impt. Every1 must also noe and sm, e.g., Mr Calendar, must be crazy over English football teams like Liverpool, Man U, etc.

Right, now comes the best part. Every1 also noes the UEFA cup, etc, but does any1 of u notices tt in the Olympic Games, there never was a UK men football team? Never, for 40 yrs now. Not bcos of the lack of talent but itz all bcos the rivalry among the Scots, English, Welsh and Irish

Funny eh? Well, having colleagues from 3 of the 4 countries in the UK, Marpig learnt funny bits of their rivary. Scottish colleague refer to Welsh colleague as "their valley cousins who never stops singing" and the Welsh makes fun of the English with the "sheep shagging" joke. Wat is the joke bout u asked? Well, long long time ago, under the English law, u lose a finger if u shag a sheep but go to the gallows for stealing a sheep!! And yes, strange as it sounds, English used to shag sheep apparently. Hence the joke went like this:

Englishmen: Caught you!! Itz capital punishment for you for stealing our sheep!!
Welshmen caught stealing sheep: No, we are not stealing the sheep, we were just shagging them.

Duh.

2) The Scottish colleague was quite caring when he knew Marpig was sorta having a bit of fever. When Marpig told him she has no appetite, he told Marpig wat pple (in the UK or Scotland) always say, "feed a cold, starve a fever" Hmm... how wise and true is tt!!

3) It definitely was not PS who told Marpig this (though she said it to Balachan and Balachan told Marpig) Could it be smth Marpig told PS bout? (since she xperienced & 领悟 such ths...) It could be JM too... cant rem... but it is true tt "什么都可以等，就是孝顺不可以等"...

4) Marpig once had a dream bout being deserted by Marpigz dad... how true... ttz how Marpig felt with the recent happenings... when Marpig was young, she likes to observe Marpigz dad while he made the CNY red "炮竹" with used toilet roll (the core) and red paper with cut out of words, carved the wooden and Styrofoam 新年贺词 and air paint them with red paint as well as sprinkle them with those shimmering thingy as well as making cupboards(in all the rooms), wardrobes (in all the rooms), cabinets (in the kitchen) and Marpigz study table... even helped him a little...

He really may not know... but Marpig grew up under his influence... how did Marpig learn to use all the tools, etc despite being a lady and not attending handicraft lessons... learning to ride a motorbike... going to Geylang to have Teochew Moi... why is he no diff from all other men?

Marpig mentioned b4... she hates changes though she welcomes them... but only changes within her control and tt she can manage... changes to ths which she held dearly and deeply to her heart makes Marpig really sad... oh well...

TT dream was sad, itz true in real life and... Marpig could only let it go...

5) Marpig found out tt men are really full of cocks. There must be a few tt werent but with the case of Marpigz dad, tt belief is wavering. To confirm, tt China man is as well. Marpig saw thru him, totally "踩" (cantonese) him to the max and tell him wat his heart (or cock) is thinking which made him so boh been.

In addition, Marpig went shopping with Polish colleague and helped him with his grocery stuff to his shared house. While he went to the toilet, (although Marpig did not do it on purpose) Marpig saw he had a pack on Durex in his travel toiletries bag... hmmm... of cos, itz not wrong and Marpig am open with such th but it just goes to show 2 ths; he is sensible and as men, he needs "it" too. Ok.

6) Marpig went random blog reading again & cant rem she wrote such th... Refer to 30th July 2006 entry, "A Grain of Rice"!!

Marpig shall end here while she tries to fin the entry bout her dae trip to Padua!! Gosh!!
