Entire Family Beats Child

A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him!

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the England Football Team , whom the boy firmly believes are not currently capable of beating anyone.

Guess who's back!

Whoa. I check my blog from time to time wondering why aren't there any new posts. Realised it's coz I haven't been writing any. So happens that today's the 2nd monthiversary since my hiatus back in September. Gosh does time really fly.

Fly it really does as it was also Chai Leng and I's 8th anniversary last week (HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!!).

Well life's been pretty shiat lately. Have lots goin on in the background while I'm trying to straighten up coming up to exams. Thank god I've been spending the last 23 years of my life being a bumm such that I still have some study stamina to spare. Don't choke out on the final lap.

Well to be fair, things are starting to get better. I realised that life's starting to be all about making choices. Lets not even talk about making the right ones. Sometimes, having to make a choice at all is half the difficulty. Let just hope things continue to get better. And as usual, I never disappoint. Here's the joke of the month. Hope you enjoy the craic.

Two Aussie builders (Phil and Eric) are seated either side of a table in a rough pub when a well-dressed man enters, orders a beer and sits on a stool at the bar. The two builders start to speculate about the occupation of the suit.

Phil: - I reckon he's an accountant.
Eric: - Nah. I reckon he's a stockbroker.
Phil: - No way. A stockbroker wouldn't come in here!

The argument repeats itself for some time until the volume of beer gets the better of Phil and he makes for the toilet. On entering the toilet he sees that the suit is standing at a urinal. Curiosity and the several beers get the better of the builder.

Phil: - 'Scuse me mate. No offence but me and me mate were wondering what you do for a living?
Suit: - No offence taken. I'm a Logical Scientist by profession.
Phil: - What's that then?
Suit: - I'll try to explain by example... Do you have goldfish at home?
Phil: - Er... Mmm . Well yeah, I do actually.
Suit: - Well, it follows logically that you keep them in a bowl or in a pond. Which is it?
Phil: - They're in a pond!
Suit: - Well then it's reasonable to suppose that you have a large garden.
Phil: - Too right - it's huge!
Suit: - Well then it's logical to assume that if you have a large garden then you have a large house?
Phil: - Bloody oath I've got a big house! Five bedrooms .....built it with me own hands!
Suit: - Well given that you've built a five-bedroom house it is logical to assume that you haven't built it just for yourself and that you are quite probably married?
Phil: - Mate, I'm married to the greatest sheila on earth and we've got three great kids.
Suit: - Well then it is logical to assume that you are sexually active with your wife on a regular basis?
Phil:- Yep! Four nights a week! At least!
Suit: - Well then it is logical to suggest that you do not masturbate very often?
Phil: - Me? You're kiddin me right? Never!
Suit: - Well there you are! That's logical science at work!
Phil: - How's that then?
Suit: - Well from finding out that you had goldfish, I've told you about your sex life!
Phil: - Awesome, mate!

Both leave the toilet and Phil returns to his mate.

Eric: - I see the suit was in there. Did you ask him what he does?
Phil: - Yep! He's a logical scientist!
Eric: - What's that then?
Phil: - Lemme explain. Do you have goldfish?
Eric: - Nope.
Phil: - Well then, you're a wanker.

Suddenly

And suddenly, there is only 2 weeks left in my calender before I fly back to Belfast!

I have so much yet to do! Clinical project to write up, friends to meet for one last time, things to buy, packing to do, parents to love, and more than all that, preparing myself to go back after being growing used to this place again. Sigh.

Boy this couple of months have been great. More than the food really, more than great weather, more than being home. I've found myself 3 months that has taught me more than the whole of last year. I've had ups and downs within this that has shown me who are the people I really love and really love me.

I've had a brilliant attachment, met a great bunch of new friends, I've reunited with old ones, been reminded of good ol times, and most importantly, I realised how much I love my baby.

So guys, yea so life does suck when it sucks. But boy when it is good, damn it's good :)

So take a breath of fresh air, put on corinne bailey rae's "call me when you get this" on ur player, and tell yourself what a brilliant day it is gonna be today!

The smile on your face comes automatically :)

Reflections

Aching heart, voices longing to be spoken,
How complicated, Am I already broken?
So many places, wanting attention,
So many people, yet forgiven,

Why is this, so so difficult?

The noise outside; blarring,
This emptiness within; how consuming,
This journey of mine; confusing,
Who here will listen, to my musing?

Why is this, so so difficult?

I have everything, yet I have nothing,
What is Love, if without trust,
I so tired, so tired of proving,
Dying to rest, if I could just.

Why is this, so so difficult?

In the end, it's quite simple,
The grace of God, make it your staple,
For finally, if you can't face your Maker,
What is the meaning of this all, this journey we've taken?

Blonde Joke

Sorry dudes for the lack of posts lately. You know le, busy eating and all :p

Anyway, this joke is dedicated to all the young budding doctors back in the UK who are working their socks off for a country whom they just gave half their fathers wealth away to train them. I pray you will be able to recover your investment. 'We' I meant. Damn.

At least we can take solace in the fact that, Malaysian housemen are probably working twice as hard, but are getting paid 7 times less (joking oni lah..)

Enjoy the joke.

Blonde Joke

Tom, a handsome dude, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 PM. He sat down next to this blond at the bar and stared up at the TV. The 10:00 news was on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump.

The blond looked at Tom and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"

Tom says, "You know, I bet he'll jump." The blond replied, "Well, I bet he won't."

Tom placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, "You're on!"

Just as the blond placed her money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the building, plummeting to his death. The blond was very upset and handed her $20 to Tom,
saying, "Fair's fair. Here's your money."

Tom replied, "I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and so I knew he would jump.

"HERE COMES THE BLOND PART!!

The blond replies, "I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again."

Tom took the money.

Wassup!!!

Congrats Rache and SW!!!

Let's raise our glasses to two wonderful people; who have been such a blessing to those around them, people who really have a heart for God, and I've been given such grace of meeting them here in Belfast.

Those two have now become one!!!



And so it was destined that they had their fairytale wedding, on the 7th of the July, '07; exactly a year after Seng Weng proposed on an airplane. It was a beautiful day, the weather lovely, and the bride and groom truly a sight to behold.

They took their vows in the Belfast castle, making their commitments to one another, before family and close friends, but most of all, before God.

The 6 of us were extremely excited for the both of them, and just happy to help out with whatever we could do. Here's us dressed in our best before we go our separate ways this summer. Will miss you guys plenty!!! (despite what I say :p)


The CUTEST flower girls and ring bearer ever!!! Gosh they're so adorable!!!

The scenery was absolutely stunning and it was just a day of great fun snapping photos with the couple and one another :)


And at night, we finished off with a nice dinner at Water Margin with all the Yam Sengs in order. My brotha Seng Weng was a lil tipsy towards the end but I'm sure he won't mind too much now :p

So, it was a perfect end to the day for everyone, certainly a great end to a long and colourful year. For now, Adieu and see yall back home!!!
