Mooncake Festival (Chinese 8th month)


1. This month the Chinese Ghost month coming to an end in 3 days time. The ghosts will be returning home after 1 month holiday! The Beijing Olympic has also ended. Boring set in to some who has been watching tv for the past two weeks.
2. The new Mooncake Festival is coming alive. Shops started selling mooncakes everywhere. Every year new beautiful design and packing is seen in the market. Yesterday saw my young queen bought 1 box from Swissotel Stamford Hotel. Now the mooncake dont come with what you called 2egg york or 4 egg york. I tested one piece and found chocolate instead of egg york!
Wow! delicious! But price? Jialat! must be very expensive.
3. No choice still got to buy 1 box for my 1st mother-in-law .She is now 89 yrs still going strong and alert. 2 months ago when I visited her she asked for my young queen! Jialat! I remember my sin committed some 28 yrs ago! My wife was very particular about the mooncake festival and every year I had to buy two boxes for my mother in-law without fail.
4. In the year 1980 or 1981 during the mooncake festival my wife reminded me to buy 2 boxes of mooncake for her mum. At that time, 1 box of 4 mooncakes cost only $8. The actual festival was on the 15th day of the chinese 8th month. We used to send the cakes few days before the actual festival.
5. I discovered that immediately after the festival is over ie on the 16th day, the left over unsold mooncakes is on Lelong Lelong sale at $1 per box in chinatown market. So I decided to cut cost and waited until the 16th day to buy the cheap mooncake. On that day I went and bought 4 boxes plus some tau sar pia! Immediately, the same night I pay a visit to my mother-in-law and presented 4 boxes of mooncake instead of the usual 2 boxes! But of course I pakat with my wife and she told her mum that I bought it for $8 per box 1 week earlier. Due to work we could not come early to give the mooncake. Conspiracy work to cheat the mother in-law! Just to save some money! Hahaha!
6. Today I must repent of my sin committed some 28 years ago. I dont know in the later years when I quarrel with my wife, she must have picah lobang my trick to her mum! Jialat! Better be honest and buy fresh and present it before the actual 15th day of the festival. Today 1 box of mooncake cost about $20-$30!
7. My wise rule say give more demand less! God's word also say it is better to give than receive!
So be generous! Give with a generous heart! Dont give with a 'cheating' heart! Sorry mum!
May God forgive me of my sin 28 years ago!

Malaysia vs Singapore in Olympic



1.The Beijing Olympic dream of Singapore and Malaysia is the same aim of achieving a medal, silver or gold. Singapore last Olympic silver medal winner is Tan Howe Liang some 48 yrs ago. Malaysia since 52 yrs ago, tangan kosong! (Empty hand) without any medal.
2. Beijing Olympic 2008, Malaysian Lee Chong Wei got the silver medal after losing to China Lin Dan in Badminton. After 52 yrs of waiting at last one silver medal. Lee Chong Wei is local born Malaysian although the grandfather must be from China lah!
3. Singapore after 48 yrs of dry spell, the team event table tennis team, finally also got a silver medal after losing to Chiampion China. They are Feng Tianwei, Li Jiawei and Wang Yuegu.
All three Spore players are foreign talent scouted from China. They were given Spore citizen to represent Spore. Some say imitation or fake! Buy 1 lah!
4. The Spore government reward $750,000.00 for the team silver medal winner. The Malaysian government reward Lee Chong Wei cash RM 300,000.00 plus RM 3,000.00 monthly pension for life. The State of Penang where Lee Chong Wei was born in the town of Bukit Mertajam, the Gorvernment also awarded him the title of Datuk!
5. Why not Spore Goverment offer Michael Phelps to sign up for spore citizen 6 months before the Olympic. He won 8 gold medals for Spore. Wow our tiny red dot famous overnight in the world! Tourists arrival increase by a million ez ez!
6. The same goes to the 3 Spore players, Li Jiawei, Feng Tianwei and Wang Yuegu. After the games over and their money collected do you think they will stay in spore. Off they go back to China convert the S$ into Million Renminbi! Happy retirement!
7. Maybe PM Lee is thinking of match-make either Li Jiawei or Feng Tianwei to marry his sons, Lee Hongyi or the other angmoh white hair son born from his first deceased wife. He brought up the topic of the great marriage proposal during the National Day Dinner on the night the final table tennis team was fighting for the gold medal. The live telecast speech was postponed for us to watch the game.
8. I think this is one secret of making good money if anyone can approach Li Jiawei or Feng Tianwei or maybe Tao Li the 18 yrs swimmer! If they can match-make to PM Lee son and get married, sure ho se liao! All win win for Spore and China and the world. 1 world 1 dream!

The Great Marriage Talk again
1.After hearing the Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong National Day Speech, the Great Marriage Talk for Spore cropped up again. New helps for encouraging people to get married and have more children.
2.The old incentives for marriage perks; Maternity leave, Infant care leave,Child care leave, baby bonus, tax relief, child care subsidy, boost child care centre and better kindergarten etc...
3. The setting of the government match-making agencies, the SDU,SDS and private match-making agencies. The study of the old parent match-make or arranged marriage etc...
4. All those incentives of leaves are more for the government employees. The government is just blind to those private sector who have no care at all about the leaves. Money and money and more money is the criteria. The boss is thinking how to make more money and better work of would be mother. If I am the boss, who care about your marriage? Your contributions to my work is more important.
5. Looking for partners in the match-making agencies! Siao liao! Only for the desperate 1! Might as well arrange for an auction or Gelong Gelong!
6. For practical incentives to get the people of Spore to get married early and have children, come straight to the point lah! Prime Minister Lee, you have watched Money Not Enough ? The 1st criteria is Money! Hiong Hiong give cash grant $10,000.00 for marriage expenses, need to buy wedding ring, wedding dinner, honeymoon holiday tickets for two! Forget about those subsidy of leaves and taxes lah!
7. Match-make agencies... Dont need lah! Today youngsters know where to find partners! Introduce match dollar for dollar contribution can liao! The parent come out $5,000.00 and the government match-make another $5,000.00 can liao. The newly married couple received $10,000.00 cash like dowry! Sure work 1 lah?
8. Child care centre, subsidies, kindergarten.....all this not in the mind of the singles! What the singles need is a love nest! Presently, the young couples have to delay kawin becos they have no home ! They think of the 3rm HDB flat or condo apartment, head pain liao! How to buy the flat or condo apartment of your dream house when you just started work. Where got enough CPF?
9. Prime Minister Lee should ask Mah Bok Tan to built lOVE-NEST in resort style chalet near the sea-side. Called it newly married couple resort village! Rent it out to the 1st time newly married couple as their dream home for a period of 5 years ! If a baby is born, the dream home is yours at subsidise price. This are incentive sure work! Hiong Hiong give!
10. If the PM Lee care to build 20,000 resort style village homes, 20,000 couples got married means 40,000 people resettled in the newly married resort village. With that type of enviroment, dont need to give much incentives for the baby bonus. Automatically, they make twins or double twins within the 1st year! Baby boom man! Baby bonus is just extra lah!
11. I will surely encourage my three eligible children, Shannie 25 yrs, Michelle 24 yrs and Ernest 23 yrs -Go get married. Each one $5,000 Angpow plus the queen $5000 plus Government match-make $5000! Deng.. Deng.. Deng Happy Marriage!

Beijing Olympic 08-08-2008


1.Since the Olympic started in Beijing on 08-08-2008, one world champion appeared. He is Michael Phelps from America(USA). He is a swimming champion. By yesterday, he has won 8 gold in 1 Olympic the world record holder. Now he is known as the Eight Wonder of the world.
Some called him the man from another planet!
2. I did not read much about who is this man from USA! How was he trained to become such a fast swimmer? We only have Tao Li from Spore entered the final but came in 5th position in just one event. And we hightlight our achievement so great. But alas, Tao Li 18 yrs, is bought from China and given Spore citizen. Fake Spore citizen lah!
3. My brother-in-law, James Chua, give me a tip why Michael Phelps won all the 8 gold medals! He simply say there must be an angel who was pushing him or pulling him along to win the swimming event!
4. I decided to make a study of Michael Phelps. God give me the wisdom to understand his words. In the bible, God say there are two Angels, Michael and Gabriel. Michael is the arch angel just like the Chinese god Kuan Ti Kong carrying a sword used to fight in the war. So Michael is a war angel fight to win against any competitors.
5. Phelps just add meaning to his name Michael. You separate P - helps! Then you read Michael Please Helps! Help mean assist! You add plural s become helps .... so many help! Wow the meaning is Angel please helps! So you dont just get one gold unless your name is phelp. But you got phelps so many helps got 8 gold lah!
6. So your name determine whether you are the winner or loser. There lay the secret of your success..... Michael Phelps.........God is behind you!

Bee Tang (Rice Urn)


1.Yesterday was the Ghost Month Festival 7th month 15th day. It was considered the middle month peak. More burning of kim chua and paper monies to the ghosts on holiday in town. More pollution on the street. Night getai more songs and dance and offerings of food and earthly things.
2. Of one particular things of significant is the auction of 'Bee Tang' in hokkien. It is actually a jar or container or an urn filled with rice. Chinese is very superstitious about the Bee Tang. They will bid high price to get the Bee Tang! It is now better valued than the Oh Kim( black gold)!
3. I remember my father always remind my mum to fill up the rice urn just before Chinese New Year. And on the eve of the Chinese New Year my parent will cooked a big cooker pok of rice!
The idea is that on the 1st day of the New Year you will have plenty of rice to eat. And the rest of the year there will be no lack but plenty to eat. In short, prosperity will follow the rest of the year.
4. So bidding for a rice urn(bee tang) will make you rich! Everytime someone strike 4d or toto or got a fortune we always say "Bee Tang"!
5. Coincidence, yesterday we had a change of New Bee Tang! My queen throw away the old Bee tang ( plastic container filled with rice)! Together with another two 10kg bags of rice! It was left outside the corridor with other rubbish trash! Why?
6. Just a few months ago during the rice shortage and the price hike, the queen kia su just simply buy up 20 bags of rice to stock up. Guess what happen? The rice spoilt and turned into bettles and rice worms! One day the little children found out the rice with worms and they boycotted eating rice! It so happened the queen was cooking her best Japanese curry chicken on that day!
Guess what? No one dare to eat the rice or the curry! Lost appetite!
7. The rice was replaced with newly bought japanese rice. But the plastic container remained.
Recently when the queen cooked her dishes not to the liking of the little one, they refused to eat! Excuse given is again the rice got worms.!
8. Now the queen got angry throw away all the rice including the container! Old bee tang landed outside the corridor for the hungry ghosts to ta pau home to eat. What happened if the hungry ghosts is our ancestors? Our great grandparents or uncles or aunties! Jialat!
9. Lucky the queen bought a new Bee Tang! A new plastic container but this time filled with only half full japanese rice. Why change from Thai fragrance rice to Japanese rice! Thai rice turned bad into worms! Japanese rice to convince her Japanese pet (Torusan) to come home to eat her food again.
10. I was looking for a golden bee tang which I promised to give my sister. This is a good luck present when someone bought a new house. As I have stopped attending Chinese ghost festival there is no way I could bid a bee tang from the auction. So yesterday I gave $200 in NTUC voucher to my newly married sister for her to buy one new bee tang. I exchanged another $800 voucher for cash! Happy shopping sis!
11. A good sign of Bee Tang is coming on the way! Huat Ah! Bee Tang Ah!

Vow or Swear on the holy book (Sumpah)
1.Of late we hear of swearing by the Koran (Muslim holy book). No one say of swearing by the bible. But many people say I swear by God. Lovers swear or vow by the moon or star of their love.
2. The main point of swearing is to say the truth or remain true and loyal to your words. Swearing to carry more weight of what you say is true.
3. There was this girl, Mona Tan, who vow and swear her love for the boyfriend, by the moon! Guess what? She broke her promise and married someone else! The excuse is the moon not reliable! Not every night full moon lah!
4. There was one instance when I make fun of one driver to arrange for a swearing by potong ayam kepala ( Malay way of swearing by cutting chicken head)! I was working as a traffic investigator in Traffic Police some 15 years ago.
5. There was this traffic accident involving a motor-car and a taxi driver at a traffic light junction. When I called up both drivers for interview, both claimed the lights was green in their favour. No eyewitness come forward. In my years of investigation, sometimes it is very frustrating when you know one of the driver is telling lies. Very hard to pin or break down the driver to admit the truth.
6. One day, I decided to use the trick of swearing or malay called sumpah! After recording the statement of both drivers, I knew the taxi driver was not telling the truth. But he insist the light was green in his favour accusing the other driver of beating the red light. So after the statement I issued him another appointment letter to report to me for a swearing session. I asked him to bring a live chicken on the date given. He asked me for what purpose? I told him he has to cut the chicken head with the other driver presence. And I will determine the guilty party. I told him if he tell lies, the blood of the chicken will turn white in color.
7. Guess what happen? The taxi driver begins to tremble and cold sweat could be seen on his forhead. He stood there speedless and did not dare to leave my office. I told him to leave. Less than 10 minutes later he returned! He returned the appointment letter and told me he wish to admit his guilt! He then made another statement admitting that he beat the red light! Very efficient and very fast!
8. But actually I was just playing poker with him. We dont have potong ayam kepala (sumpah) investigation practice! Neither can we shout or assault the drivers in our investigations. By law all statements has to be voluntary and no inducement, threat or undue duress!
9. Now we hear of Malaysian former Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim sodomy case. Saiful the accuser say he want to swear by the koran Anwar F....ck his asshole! Anwar claimed Saiful was paid money to frame him. Which is which? Potong Ayam head lah?
