Musings on a Saturday morning

Here at the workplace marking scripts. Need to take a break. The basketball girls are training hard. They are playing Anglican High on Tuesday. Difficult match. Anyway, I do think that it is nice to be back in school on a Saturday morn. It is so quiet here. Not many people are around and I feel a certain sense of peace, unlike the rush and the hustle n bustle of a usual weekday.

It is already the 7th week of the first term. Time really flies! It was difficult to bring myself back to work after the good December hols, but now, I am approaching the March hols. Really fast. Time waits for no man. I learnt that we have been made to be productive and creative, and we have indeed been given the ability to do that. :) I want to see more of this creative power in my own life!

Anyway, last night I told Steve a really silly and lame joke. Here is how it goes. Actually I told him and many other people this joke before. But this is my latest version. After tennis last night, as I told him this latest version, I really cranked out and laughed and laughed.

There were 3 friends who met up for a reunion. One is an Australian, the other an American and the last one, a Singaporean. They were amazed at the number of electrical appliances they found at Mustaffa Shopping Centre during a midnight shopping spree and so the Australian asked, "Hey friends, name me an electrical appliance that starts with the letter 'L'."

The American said "lamp", the Australian said "lawn mower" and the Singaporean thought for a long time. Finally, she said, "Lalio".....

Next, they decided to talk about fruits that begin with 'L' again. The American said "Longan", the Australian said "Lychee" and the Singaporean said... "Lulian". Both the Australian and American were amazed at the answer. The Singaporean then went on to say, "I know of one more fruit that starts with the letter 'L'! It is called ... Ling Mong!"

Astonished, they asked her what it meant. She said, "Haven't you heard of Ma Ma Ling Mong? " (That's the dishwishing liquid.)

Finally, they were going home after the shopping spree. In a cab, they decided to talk about brands of cars beginning with the letter 'L' again. Unanimously, both the American and Australian said "Lexus". The Singaporean smiled smugly and asked them if they could think of another one. Both shook their heads. The Singaporean then said "Lolls Loyce".


I was already laughing non-stop as I told Steve this episode. Anyway, he is a really great genius. We discussed animals beginning with the letter 'L' and wondered what the Singaporean will say. I thought of "Labbit" straightaway. You know what Steve said? hahahahaha. He said "Laohu". I laughed till my sides cracked. hahahahhaha.

Anyway, blame it on my profession as an English teacher. I somehow find jokes like these very very very amusing and funny. There was this other time I told a Maggi Mee joke. That one was also a classic.

Anyway, I hope you do have fun reading the above.

Well, I think I better get back to work...

:)

Have a lovely lovely weekend!
