Shopping by Category

You go to supermarket, you go to the right isle... for eg. "confectionary"--- to get your favourite cookies,
You go to online shopping, for eg. amazon.com, there are many categories for you to choose, for eg. Computer---accessories, notebook, desktop, etc.,
You go to library, you go to the right shelf, to get your favourite book, for eg. Crime/fiction,
You go to watch a movie, there are thriller, comedy, drama, horror, etc.,
You want to buy a music CD, there are sentimental, pop, rock, alternative rock, jazz, bossa nova, etc.,
........

In this world, there are so many categories, goods, food, IT-related stuff, books, etc.
People like to categorise things up, it is easier for search, it is easier to organise your stuff, it is all a chain of reaction, from organising to categorising.
We even categorise our own digital copies of documents, .doc, .gif, .mp3, .xls, .pps, and so on...
It makes our life easier...

Therefore, many many many years ago, till now, people like to categorise other people,
she's an extrovert, he's an introvert,
she's a bossy person, he's a person who likes to enslaved himself,
he's an american, she's an english, he's a russion, she's an arabian, etc.,
he's from XXX town, she's from YYY state, etc.,
he's speaking XXX dialect, she's speaking YYY dialect, etc.,
he's from XXX University, she's from YYY University, and what more to say, he's from university in XXX country, she's from university from YYY country, etc.,
he's born in the year of pig, she's born in the year of rabbit, he's born in the year of tiger, she's born in the year of dragon, etc.,
he's born in winter, she's born in summer, etc.,
he's an aries, she's a libran, etc.,
he's born a chrisitan family, she's born a buddhist family, etc.,
From the big 5 personality - Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism

Neuroticism - A tendency to easily experience unpleasant emotions such as anger, anxiety, depression, or vulnerability. (emotional stability to stimuli)
Extraversion - Energy, surgency, and the tendency to seek stimulation and the company of others.
Agreeableness - A tendency to be compassionate and cooperative rather than suspicious and antagonistic towards others. (individualism vs cooperative soluitons)
Conscientiousness - A tendency to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement. (Spontaneousness vs planned behaviour)
Openness to experience - Appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas; imagination and curiosity. (vs conservatism)
These traits are often measured as percentile scores, with the average mark at 50%; so for example, a Conscientiousness rating in the 80th percentile indicates a greater than average sense of responsibility and orderliness, while an Extroversion rating in the 5th percentile indicates an exceptional need for solitude and quiet.

the list can go on and on, the categories can go on and on as well, people keep studying other people and continue with the expansion of the category list...

Categorization makes our life so much easier... as categorization helps us to pre-define, and pre-understand certain situation, certain personality in a person...
However... I have always thought that, a person, is a unique person by himself/herself... if there are 6 billion people in this world, then, there are 6 billions of categories to me...
People like to stick to a category that they believe in, as it really really makes one's life easier, and I am not denying that, those categories are not correct, but, it's only of approximation... therefore... I normally prefer to learn about a person, by myself, rather than by what has been told by those people who created those categories... as human is simply not goods...
Learn about a person, by talking to them, by listening to them, by writing to them, by reading what they write, by obseving them while they talk to others, by putting yourself in his/her situation... by discussing with them, by learning how they discuss with others... etc.,
and that is also why, I find the learning path, pretty interesting... it's unlimited things for you to discover... cos, people change... maybe by a universal law that we still don't understand, however, people do change...
Long time ago, my roommate discussed with me, regarding people's freewill... is there one? or is there not one?
I do think, there is freewill in every human being, therefore, there will be 6 billion of freewill on earth, and therefore, there will be 6 billion of possibility... to drill down to these possibility, every second, every minute, every day, we change, and it contributes to a weekly, monthly, or yearly change... the change is indefinite... and therefore, the categories can expand to indefinite...

I still think shopping by Category makes my life easier... however... I don't shop for people by category,
as I believe, each individual is unique, and each soul is irreplaceable, nevertheless, irreproduceable...
If there are categories that involve human, then, I would rather believe that, those categories somehow overlap each other...
as, I once heard a saying,
"there is no evil person, or good person, it's only at one critial moment, whether your evil side overcome your good side, or the other way round", that moment, is the moment that will define you as a bad person, or good person...

I don't shop for people, by category, maybe it's harder for me... but that's the way I choose... :-)

Jack Bauer saved the Day

Oooh, Hoooh!!!!!!
Finally he got it... this year, 58th Emmy Award, Outstanding Lead Actor in Drama Series--->Kiefer Sutherland,
Jack Bauer my hero!!!! :-)
so happy... well... it paid the day...
I sat down in front of the TV, just for this moment...
Yep... if you've been following from Season 1 all the way to Season 5, you know, it's time for Jack/Kiefer to be acknowledged...
and he's changed from a slightly more subtle agent, I mean, Jack... well... to me, Jack is Kiefer, and Kiefer is Jack... :-) too bad :-( Tony and Michelle were not in the picture... :-(
Anyway... on top of the "Outstanding Lead Actor", '24' was also awarded as "Outstanding Drama Series", so, worth my 5 years time (not really 5 years, just to exaggerate, I first watched it since end of 2004) of behaving like a real die-hard fans... ie. nothing but '24', nobody but Jack Bauer!!

On the stage, the humble but yet serious Kiefer Sutherland (yep... maybe I have seen too much of Jack Bauer in him, can't imagine any funny joke blurted out from him, I'll definitely laugh, if he's trying to tell a not-so-funny joke, unlike the rest of the guests, most of them were pretty humorous on stage)
oops... these ARE what he said, and only things that he said...

"What a nice evening this has been for us; my father's sitting over there," he said, pointing to Donald Sutherland, who also was nominated for his role in "Human Trafficking." "We're going to have to have dinner now.

"Every once in a while, you're going to have an evening that reminds you that you have too much," he said.
---quoted from CNN news

Hurray!!!! Really can't wait for Season 6 to be aired... oh.. as well as '24' the movie, hopefully it'll come true

Actually... I was even hoping that, both Itzin Gregory (stupid bad President Logan) and Jean Smart (First Lady) would also win both "Outstanding Actor in Drama series", and "Outstanding Actress in Drama series", but too bad... hopefully next year, they will outperform the rest, however, I guess, it will be less chance for Itzin Gregory... :-( I hated him so much that, I think, he deserves a trophy... :-) come on!! he's crowned the worst US President in the US film history... :-). While for Jean Smart, even though she's err... kinda old, however, I don't know why, I kinda find her to be a very attractive woman... attractive when she's the First Lady, and when she was on the red carpet tonight.

Anyway... I know I will see more of her next year, in Season 6, so, it doesn't matter... :-)

Yippie!!!
ヤッタ!!! ヤッタ!!!

**Real life ANEGO**

I have a friend, who's exactly like the ANEGO（アネゴ）, in the show ANEGO!!! err... what am I talking about?? :-)
well... there is this Jap series, called ANEGO, ie. Big Sister in japanese...
her name is Naoko, (performed by Shinohara Ryoko, 篠原涼子), "Anego" was given by a cute young guy, Kurozawa, who's just joined the company that she's working in...
The guy was very impressed with her dedication in work, as well as her willingness to help whoever came to her...
so, he called her Anego... she was 31 at that time, and he was 21 :-D

In the story, we can see that, Naoko really is like the problem solver among her co-workers... even her immediate boss, like to ask her to pass down message, especially when it's dealing with managing other younger female workers... maybe as a male, he found it too tedious dealing with their work attitude, so, normally he'll dedicate such sh*tty job to Naoko...

What I like about this show, is the way they film it... particularly, the interaction between the two, Naoko and Kurozawa..
on the screen, you'll see the OS of each of them... (OS, Operating System, ie. Operating System in their hearts, in their mind...)
Traditianally, when we watch films, the OS will be narrated by the person himself/herself, but this time, it's being typed out on the screen... kinda cute...

Anyway, I want to talk about that friend of mine, not about Anego... :-)
so, in real life, I have a friend of such...
whoever needs any information, advice, help, will come to her...
she didn't know why... just like the Anego, she didn't know why as well.. however... when people come asking for help, she'll go all the way, to let it resolved...

Therefore... I was thinking... mm... why do we keep going to the same person for help..
if it's me, I guess, it's purely, we know that, that person WILL help... regardless what? no matter what, we'll get some answer, we'll get some feedback...
ie. for those people where you friend never come to you for help... then.. they all know that, you WILL NOT help.. :-)
as simple as that... :-) isn't it?
it's this instinct in each and everyone of us...
really... just sit down and think, why do we choose certain people to go to, for help? for advice? not just because they're our friends, or best friends, or roommates, or housemates... we've many friends, best friends, and etc. but there are only certain number of people, we'll go confide in, or go ask questions and expecting and answer...

Further extrapolation, I believe... this is the energy field that one shows, this is the hidden message that one sent out and that, the rest of us, our antennas can sense it, and thus we are attracted to those people to ask for help...
And.. how do we use our antennas to sense it.. usually it's through conversation, through talking, through the way they carry themselves...
There ARE just some people, you know, they won't step out and help you, they won't bother to 'waste' time and listen to you, or they simply sound reluctant to help you, or, immediately after listening to your problems, or requests, they can list out all the cons to you first.. or simply discourage you... ya, Nobleman, please get out of my sight!!!

Whatever it is... if you're one who's like Anego, I know sometimes, it's really tiring, and frustrating... but then... it's a blessing...
and... if you've a friend who's like Anego.. :-) it's even a bigger blessing... :-)

Even myself, had been blessed with help from this friend...
Many years ago... while my mother was having err... a not-so-big not-so-small argument with her brother... ie. my uncle (oh.. due to that event, he's lost some respect from me... well.. now, since years have gone by... it's slowly been added back in)
and when she need to travel to that city, I gave my mother the phone number of this friend of mine, and I told my mother, if she couldn't find anybody to help bring her from one place to another place, maybe she could give a call to my friend... and yes.. my friend was the one who help bring my mother to the destination that she wanted to go... I remember that forever... :-)

Well... we will think that, people will only remember to give you a call, when they need your help... :-) that's true.. but the hidden truth is, they remember you from time to time... therefore whenever they're in a desperate situation, you are on top of the list.. :-)
again.. it's a blessing... :-)
While for those, who, nobody will remember to give you a call, when they need people's help, yep... you'll have a good and relax night on that day.. however... I am sure nobody actually remembers you :-)
It's that simple... :-)

Smoking? or...

Yesterday, I saw a news clip, reporting regarding the new rules for children's cartoon programmes...
ie. Smoking scenes are banned...
The short clip that they were showing was Tom and Jerry, where, Jerry was playing tennis with another big fat cat, and the big fat cat were smoking..
yep, this is an example picked up by the broadcaster, where "Smoking scene has to be banned"
however... the clip continue to show, where Tom (the cat) being evil (he's always evil, but yet stupid) changed the tennis ball to a bomb, and hit it over to the big fat cat...
and you know what will happen next...

Then... I asked, so, smoking is banned, but bombing is allowed :-) for children's cartoon programmes... hm...
now we know what's wrong with this world...

~The Skillet Story~ Parallel~~

:-)
As I was telling my mother over the phone the other night... I told her, I've put her into my blog...
well... I guess, she hasn't really got the idea of what a blog is... however, I put it in very layman term... ie. I write what I want to write, what I want to talk about, and publish it into the internet...
then, she told me, she did a similar thing, regarding our skillet conversation... :-)

In fact, after the other night, when she put down the phone, she told my youngest brother about our conversation too... but not in details...
she just briefly mentioned, "If I don't hang up the phone, your sister is going to hit me with her skillet!"... haha!!!! ya... as if I WAS really there... so dramatic huh?? but that's the fun thing isn't it?? (like mother like daughter, 2 crazy women)

Later, I told my mother, when she goes to internet cafe with my youngest brother, remember to ask him to show her my blog :-)
yep... my mother sometimes follows my youngest brother to my other brother's internet cafe... to email me... yep, she's learnt how to check her yahoo mail, just to email me...
sometimes, she'll just follow my youngest brother to the internet cafe to play games... whenever she discover a 'good' game, she'll let me know... I was drawn into those games for a little while, play until my hand painful, my eyes popped out... but later, I decided, I'll give them up, as I can never beat my parents' score.. yep, both she and my father, play those games...
what games? haha... they're those arcade puzzle game, like err... like Chuzzle, BounceOut, BounceOutBlitz...
ya... I gave up, cos, I couldn't beat their score, what a shame huh!!! :-)
Anyway... my mother goes to internet cafe with 2 agendas... 1 is to email me... another 1, is to see if there's any new game installed on those machine, then, she'll ask my brother to install one at home :-)
like shopping for fish... :-)

ON THE ROCK

I've a very funny habit... mm... just like when we're small that time, we like to play with toys, like kitchen utensil sets, or, doctor and nurse toy set... :-) well... at least in the place that I stay, we do have that short of toys...
However.. until now, I still carry this sort of habit, a similar habit...

The other day, we went to this place called Greco, near Crown Entertaintment Complex, introduced by one of my friends...
We went there late Friday night.. ya... this city... oh!!! to me, it's not even a city, you can't really find night life.. I mean, decent night life... the only place you can find, decent and indecent mixture, is this place, in Crown...
the rest of the city, on the street.... when darkness falls, you feel like you end up in a ghost town... yep... not even ghost will walk on the street...

It seems like this Greco serves quite quite interesting dishes... and during peak 'supper' hour, one can actually see some long queue lining up at the entrance...
we were sitting at the bar counter, ooh.. normally people don't like to sit at the bar counter, as the stools are normally very high, thus it's hard for one to sit there for long hour and hang out...
but, this Greco place, the high stools at the bar counter, are very very comfortable... we sat there for the whole night, looking at the delicious cold dishes displaying in front of us.. it looks and sounds like an italian cafe... interesting place

However the MOST interesting thing is, it's quite a huge range of sinful cakes on the other side of the cafe, catering for the dine-in customers, as well as for those people who just come to grab a decent fresh piece of cake and then ciao...

Anyway.. the thing about this cafe is.. :-) I've finally fallen in love with another new coffee drinks...
usually whenever I am out there in a coffee place, I'd just order mocha... but that day, when I was in Greco, maybe it's at night, maybe I was happy and excited, as we've finally found some place that we can possibly hang out quite often, AT NIGHT... so, I was in the mood to try up new stuff...
In fact, it's not that I have not tried this before, but, it's served in different manner...
it's the Affogato...
Mm... yummy!!!!!! the way they serve the Affogato is like the one in the picture...
While taking it, I was teling him, I feel like I'm having some hard liquour ON THE ROCK.... and I told him, next time we will come to this place more often, to have this Affogato... (it's basically a shot of Expresson on top of a scoop of vanilla icecream... yummy!!)
:-) He then... told me that, I'm still like a kid...

Yep.. that's quite true... when we're kid, we used to buy those chewing gum in cigarette form, before, we put the chewing gum in the mouth, we'd pretend to smoke for a while...
ya, smoking is bad, that's why, we go for chewing gum...

Then, I discover a type of mineral water bottle, which looks like those little flat pocket-size liquor bottle... so I started carrying it everywhere, to work, to my Japanese language class... till one day, my Japanese teacher, Miss Matsui couldn't help staring at it, and then, shyly asked me, if there's alcohol inside the bottle :-) kakaka!! it works...
nah, I then told her, that's just normal water in it.. :-)
ya, drinking is bad, I was just having normal plain water... :-)

Today, I've found another new toy :-)

So, if you pump into me drinking something that looks like alcoholic drinks... then, I am just having the very innocent AFFOGATO!!!!!

Fish for Life@@

We've FINALLY!!!! as in FINALLY found something in this city.. something that's sooooo precious to me... to us...
Usually... well... as for me, solely for me, I've a benchmark for places that I stay...
It must have, a good japanese buffet that comes with reasonable price... where I can have my regular dosage of fresh sashimi...
It must have, a good CD/DVD shop, where I can find huge varieties (in terms of language) of CDs for me to pick...
It must have, good cable TV programme... :-)
It must have, a good system of public transport, with reasonable price...

Well then... some of the places that I have been to, passed my benchmark while some don't...
Sad, isn't it...
Sad, when I can't find a place in this city, to have my dosage of sashimi...

UNTIL~~~~~~~~~~
I found SAMURAI!!!!!!!
Yep, thanks to my friend, we're introduced this place...
It's definitely not the best place for japanese food in town, and it's definitely not having the best services...
the staff hardly speak any English, however... I find this challenging, well... you can go to Wagamama, staff there, speak perfect English, so then... you'll have english/asian fusion food, on a so-called Japanese food menu... err....... ????
SASHIMI, I mean SHASHIMI... not a place where you see big STICK of sushiSSS lying there...

Anyway, we both decided, after last weekend, that, SAMURAI will be our fortnightly pilgrimage destination :-)
Look at them... how much do all these cost? in this city.. NOTHING is cheap!!!! so, for this place, SAMURAI, so far so good...
for AUD36, we've a very very satisfying lunch...

Yummy!!!!~~~~~~~ Food for life, Fish for life!!! :-)

wire netting + gas tank + a pair of scissors = ??

What's the above equation?
I didn't know about this, until my friend, the other day, came to my place, and use my computer...
She was basically very much amazed with the desktop wallpaper that I used that other day... it's my cute little nephew's photo...
well.. when I first received the photos, yep... I did notice the the pair of scissors that's used to cut the flower... then, I asked my mother, why gave him such dangerous tool... the answer that I got was, "it's blunt, so, it's ok!!!" (I nearly fainted, but then... that's quite a while ago....)
then, my friend stared at the photos, amazed and amused... pointed out 2 more things... well, I actually explained to her the 'situation' without realizing the potential danger...

The little door on the wall, is actually a compartment where the gas tank is stored, gas tank for cooking, ie. it's connected to the cooking stove on the other side of the wall...
Then... there's this wire netting which is just at his eye level...
THEN!!!! it's beside a compartment that's used to store the cooking gas tank!!!!

YA... this time, my friend nearly fainted!!! :-)

However... why my little nephew likes to come to this place... ya... he likes to come to this place...
it's because... there's this little cat which likes to hide inside the compartment, treated it like its own cosy little house...
That's why later, the wire netting was put on, but my nephew still thought that, he could see the little cat over there...
:-( oh!!! poor thing, he didn't know he's not going to see his little cat friend anymore...!!!
(sob sob........)

~The Skillet Story~

The other day, my mother called me... the routinely phone call almost everyday... :-)
cos, she really misses me sooooo much :-)
However... my cute mother... she always calls me at the wrong time, for eg. either I am still in bed (as I sleep irregular hour, and bingo, since I don't have fixed sleeping hour, but she actually manage to call me when I am sleeping... Zzzzzzzz......)
or, when I am cooking, or when I am washing up and cleaning my dishes after dinner...
or, when I am paying my full concentration to watch my favourite drama series on TV, for eg. '24'... (ahhh~~~~~ '24' is over now... she can call me during any TV prime time...)

So... the other day, when my mother called me, I was in the middle of cleaning my dishes... to be specific, I was then, drying up a skillet.. :-)
then, the phone rang, and I went to pick up the phone... normally I know roughly when she'll call, maybe it's because I am thinking about her, and she's thinking about me, her beloved daughter :-)
I went to pick up the phone with the skillet on my hand, then... yep, it's my mother...
Normally, the moment I pick up the phone, there'll be a split second of silence, then, there comes "Eng Eng!!!!" (well... that's not the right spelling, however, the way she pronounced my name, sounded like this one)
I immediately told her, I am cleaning and drying up my dishes, and I AM HOLDING A SKILLET IN MY HAND!!!
Haha... no wonder I came out of her tummy, my mother knew exactly what I meant~~~~ :-)
so, she asked, "you, ah pek!! are you saying that, if I am in front of you, you'll hit me with THAT skillet??!!!"
I burst and laughed loudly......

Then, we chatted for a while... again, a daily routine,
just a little while... before she hung up the phone, well... the 'purpose' she hung up the phone was that...
she said, "I don't want to be hit by your skillet!!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Can't stopped laughing...!!!!!!!

Mmm.... I was pretty satisfied with our conversation, it's quite entertaining... my cute mother....
then, I put down the phone, laughing, and guess what...
he told me, I have been very mean.. :-) kakakakakkaka!!!!!
but then... yep... that's the type of conversation between my mother and I...
I suppose, it's more like close friends, rather than generation talk, parents-children talk...

Sometimes, the things my mother does... err... are pretty AMUSING... no Amazing!!
:-)
well... in a way, can be amazing too.. :-)

There was once, (oh.. another kitchen-related story)
she put a hammer on top of the pressure cooker.. and guess what?
the next thing was... there was a minor explosion in our house, and the rooftop was damaged...
why rooftop? well.. I am not sure of the real detailed, since the CSI team didn't arrive at that time... :-D
I was told about what happened... is that, the hammer flew away... it found its way out through the rooftop...

--"(^_^)"--

Laughter...

Last week, my friend came over, for holiday, for visiting, for the reason, the factory she's working in, was closed for a week, for maintenance.
When I went shopping for souvenier with her, she found some car window stickers which were very amusing :-)
Both of us, OH, ESPECIALLY HER, laughed our head off in front of the shop keeper.....

one says, "Born to fish, Forced to work", (well... she did fishing a while ago, so, it really applies to her a lot)
another says, "Who cares WHO's ONBOARD"
the third one say, "Mother-in-Law in BOOT" (haha! I like this one best)

OK... when my friend was here, we (she, my other 2 friends who're already staying here for more than 10 years, and I) laughed a lot for the past week,
(ya, that's why, I ended up, having not enough water, not enough sleep, and even not enough air, now, I'm struggling with my flu!!)
and I came across this sentence in one of the David Hewson's book, "The Sacred Cut", paperback, pg.6
".., in the end, why people laughed at all, because it made the pain go away, if only for a little while."

Why do people laugh?
well... I suppose there're many reasons, however, yep, the above sentence caught my attention, as THAT can be one of the very good reason too...
:-)

Excerpts from Wikipedia.org
"There are two main questions in understanding laughter: how laugher happens (that means what happens in terms of reasoning, language and neurophysiology), and why do we laugh. (In more formal terms, the first question asks for a cognitive model, while the second for a model of appreciation). "
"For Aristotle, we laugh at inferior or ugly individuals, because we feel a joy at being superior to them.
Socrates was reported by Plato as saying that the ridiculous was characterised by a display of self-ignorance. Schopenhauer wrote that it results from an incongruity between a concept and the real object it represents.
Hegel shared almost exactly the same view, but saw the concept as an "appearance" and believed that laughter then totally negates that appearance.
For Freud, laughter is an "economical phenomenon" whose function is to release "psychic energy" that had been wrongly mobilised by incorrect or false expectations.
Philosopher John Morreall theorises that human laughter may have its biological origins as a kind of shared expression of relief at the passing of danger.
Robert A. Heinlein's view of why people laugh is explained in one of his most praised novels, Stranger In A Strange Land, as simply seeing someone being hurt in one form or another. "

However, there is not satisfactory theory of why we laugh yet... but rather, there are quite a few theory of HOW we laugh...
As there are billions of people in the world, I suppose, one can come out with billions of reasons... as every individual is unique.

Sometimes, when I went home, back to my parents, my beloved brothers... I laughed most of the time, as I was amused at their sayings, until they asked me if I have not laughed for the past years...
Maybe, it's because whenever I am with my close family, I am back to my young and little self... carefree, worry-free, I don't have to keep my image... I am basically their clumsy lazy potato couch big sister, and that's all.
I have some friends who could actually give me the same type of 'laugh therapy' as good as my brothers, however, I don't see them as often as before... but we still keep in touch.
Life progress, status changes, these are things that I can't really control, the only thing that I can do, is to make an effort, to always keep in touch with friends...
I have some other friends, where I can laugh with, laugh at, laugh together as well, out of my hometown, however... I know very well that, the laughter is different, I am slightly different as well... the chemistry is different...

This is the reason why I am pretty drawn to 'the reason why people laugh'...
of course, the first thing that trigger me to start wondering is, this saying and insight by David Hewson...

One of my friends sent me these jokes the other day... (for best result, say it out loud) :-D
JOKE 01
An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA When
the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of -ese are you?"
The Japanese confused, replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what you
mean."
The American repeated, "What kind of -ese are you?" Again, the Japanese was
confused over he question.
The American, now irritated, then yelled, "What kind of -ese are you...
Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese! etc......???"
The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese."
A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked, "What kind of
'key' was he". The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what
kind of -kee' am I?"
The Japanese said, "Are you a Yankee, donkee, or monkee?"

*MORAL - NEVER INSULT ANYONE*

JOKE 02
A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a
meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a magic lamp. They
rub the lamp and a ghost appears. The ghost says, "Normally, one is granted
three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each"

So the eager senior manager shouted, "I want the first wish. I want to be
in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries." Pfufffff" and he was
gone.

Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be in
Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Pfufffff" and
he Was also gone.

The boss calmly said, "I want these two idiots back in the office after
lunch at 12.35pm."

*MORAL OF THE STORY IS: " ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSSES TO SPEAK FIRST"*

Bauerism... Addiction!!

Wa Ha Ha!!! Finally it's finished, '24' Season 5, I LOVE the Finale... especially the final hour when Jack kidnapped Logan, and was trying to get him to confess... ooh... when he just stared at Logan and let him do all the talking in the chopper.. :-) cute!!

However...
Hendersen should have just run away when he did quietly 'runaway' from the submarine... it's kinda err... sad, seeing him being killed by Jack. Hendersen knows Jack VERY VERY well... so, bad script writer!! Even thou my it's heartbreaking seeing Palmer being assasinated, and then, Michelle being bombed, then... Tony died in Jack's arm, but then... Hendersen really did safe millions of people's life and stopped 12 of the missles... :-(

I like Nina,
I like Habib Marwan... (wink!!)
I like Hendersen the most.....
Of all, Hendersen is the one that's most compatible to Jack, in everything... both of them have never underestimated each other, and both of them know each other very well, inside out...
I supposed... Hendersen's heart would break, when he knows he'd be killed by Jack, and I'd like to imagine that, Jack will feel lonely forever... (well... he may be able to suppress that very well, since he's experience many death of his close, and loved ones...)
Jack will feel lonely, cos, somebody that similar to you, will be gone forever... :-) ya!! I'd like to imagine that..
Hendersen... in a way, feeling sad, yet happy, cos, he's killed by Jack, rather than someone else...
Wah!~~~~~~ Bid GoodBye, Hendersen!!

AND~~~~~
Bierko SHOULD have just bring the last canister of the nerve gas to the presidential retreat, and 'gas down' stupid Logan!!!
Why on earth he wants to bring it to the submarine, killed those crews that's less important, and take all 15 minutes to arm the missiles, which let Bauer has the chance to take them down... hai... YES!! he should have just bring it to the presidential retreat, and that's the end of the story...

But, ok... the final 20 minutes, where Jack/Chloe have finally successfully get a brandnew set of recording of Logan's 'confession' is consoling... :-D
and it's really kinda thrilled seeing Martha's "I WIN" face... :-)

Finally, I am wondering where that stupid slipper-face Miles has gone.. ya, to the WhiteHouse... by betraying Karen and the whole CTU...
I really really really dislike him, just by looking at his slipper-face!!!
That slap that Karen gave him was just far too mild... yep... she should have slapped him with A SLIPPER!!!
and took him to the interrogation room, give him some jab!!!

Season 6!!
Addicted... to Jack!! :-)
