貴妃雞vs走地雞

什麼是貴妃雞？
貴妃雞和走地雞有何不同？

爸爸說︰貴妃雞肥D。
我︰為什麼？
爸爸說︰因為貴妃通常肥D。
伯父說︰只是姓楊那位。。。
我想︰唔知這隻雞是不是姓楊？
我繼續想︰我認識一隻〞雞〞姓楊，不過很瘦。。。
結論︰他不是貴妃雞。。。。那。。他是走地雞嗎？

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach
with the Lord.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene,
he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand.
One belonged to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed
that many times along the path of his life,
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened
at the very lowest
and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him
and he questioned the Lord about it.:

"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during
the most troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you the most
you would leave me."

The Lord replied,
"My precious, precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then I carried you."

THE NEW FOOTPRINTS

Now imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking along the beach together. For much of the way the Lord's footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying in the pace.

But your prints are in a disorganized stream of zig zags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns. For much of the way it seems to go like this. But gradually, your footprints come in line with the Lord's, soon paralleling His consistently. You and Jesus are walking as true friends.

This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens; your footprints that once etched the sand next to the Master's are now walking precisely in His steps. Inside His large footprints is the smaller "sandprint," safely enclosed. You and Jesus are becoming one; this goes on for many miles.

But gradually you notice another change. The footprints inside the larger footprints seem to grow larger. Eventually it disappears altogether. There is only one set of footprints. They have become one; again this goes on for a long time.

But then something awful happens. The second set of footprints is back. This time it seems even worse than before. Zig zags all over the place. Stop...start. Deep gashes in the sand. A veritable mess of prints.

You're amazed and shocked. But this is the end of your dream. Now you speak:

"Lord, I understand the first scene with the zig zags, fits, starts, and so on. I was a new Christian, just learning. But You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You."

"That is correct," replied the Lord. "Then, when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was actually learning to walk in Your steps. I followed You very closely."

"Very good. You have understood everything so far." "Then the smaller footprints grew and eventually filled in with yours. I suppose that I was actually growing so much that I was becoming more like You in every way."

Precisely." "But this is my question, Lord. Was there a regression of something? The footprints went back to two, and this time it was worse than the first."

The Lord smiles, then laughs. "You didn't know?" He says. "That was when we danced."

FOR HE WILL TURN YOUR MOURNING INTO DANCING!!!

Dr. Chan

Today I've visited Dr. Chan.
not Jammy but Elvis.
he's a physiotherapist and he looks like the ku fu star 羅莽。
this is the first time i visited him so he asked me quite a lot of questions.

E: do u have any health problem?
M: do u consider flu?

E: have u done any surgery b4?
M: i did.. what abt middle ear infection?
E: ooo.. that doesn't count...

E: do u have regular exercise?
M: hmmm i did once a week.
E: what did u do?
M: i just have a walk w/ my friends at the park for AN HOUR!
E: .... okay... that don't really count... what else?
M: sometimes i went swimming... for FIVE min, does it count?
E: ... well... do u think taking a shower is also exercise?

E: so.. what's wrong w/ your knee?
M: i feel like it's "移位".
E: !? but u can still walk...!?

dr. chan started to twist my neck n i m so scare...
M: will my head be twisted off?
E: noooo.. not that easy... if i did, i dunno how to glue it back for your mom....

E: where do u study your phd?
M: ubc..
E: oh.. that's so close, i work there in the morning.
M: oh.. that's your "分店"?
E: hor hor hor, don't call it like that.. so ugly...

after he finished teaching me how to do exercise, he walk away n close the curtain and leaving me sitting on the bed.
M: can i leave now?
E: yes, u r dismissed.

7up

Why is 7up called "7up"?
My labmate told me that when the game is tied at 7 point, they call it 7up.
but when the game is tied at 8, they also call it 8up.

then why 7up is called "七喜" in chinese but 7up actually means "七起"?
maybe the reason is the same as calling me "文地" instead of "聞地" la...

問責制

飲茶篇之一︰
當你叫左D點心無人吃，而每一個人已經吃得很飽，但又不想浪費，於是〞問責制〞就會立刻生效︰〞邊個叫邊個食﹗〞

飲茶篇之二︰
飲茶時發現D食物好難食，某人想投訴，〞問責制〞便啟動︰〞是誰提議來這間酒樓？〞

飲茶篇之三︰
飲完茶後無人肯找數，〞問責制〞立即出場︰〞邊個叫食飯邊個出﹗〞

麻雀篇︰
當甲打出來便被乙食，其他兩方（丙和丁）不用付錢，由甲全付，〞問責制〞又立刻生效︰俗稱〞全寵〞。

家庭篇之一︰
亞爸︰〞亞敏D壞習慣，一定是遺傳媽媽的。〞
亞媽︰〞亞敏D壞習慣，遺傳爸爸才對。〞
這還不是〞問責制〞？

家庭篇之二︰
亞爸︰〞亞敏D好習慣，一定是遺傳我的。〞
亞媽︰〞亞敏D好習慣，從我而來才對。〞
那麼，我究竟有多少習慣？

team work

didn't leave till 9:30pm last friday.
it was a long day to me.
2 of my labmates went to whistler.
another labmate got an accident in the afternoon and left home.
only me left in the lab.
n i was planning to leave early as it was so so sunny outside!

postdoc came in with my boss to tidy up his stuff and 交代後事.
then my boss wanna purify sth and show me how to do it.
i started to help him out as he's using my fumehood and blocking my way.
my boss mentioned sth like "team work".
right.. he hasn't been in the lab and "doing reactions" for ages!
he then also ask postdoc to help and i go check whether the stuff is clean or not.
this reminds me when we work together as i first started in the lab 4 yrs ago...
my boss teach me how to do reactions... and postdoc is helping...
time flies and postdoc will move to ottawa next week.
don't think this "team work" will ever happen again in the future.....

斷背疑雲 二

this happened @ missions hours last year...
a conversation between the leader "A" and a girl "Y" in grade 5.

Y: My brother is gay.
A: How do you know if he doesn't have a gf?
Y: well, he has 5.. I think they are in high school.
(her brother is older than her and is in high school at that time.)
A: they better not in elementary...
Y: I mean when they both were in elementary!
A: Yeah.. so he's not gay.
Y: But every time he starts with a girl ends up losing them! But when he starts with a boy, they end up going out together!

wooo..... that burns...

三個字

許多事情，總是在三個字內發生。
三個字︰可解作十五分鐘；又可指三個中文字。

我一直以為來回溫哥華任何地方只需五分鐘。
一次意外，我的朋友改正我為〞三個字〞。
因此〞三個字〞變得很神聖。

三個字，可以由Richmond去到New Westminster。
三個字，可以由加拿大去到美國。
遲來一秒鐘，從迎接你變做目送。
但遲到三個字，可以令人由〞熱切期待〞變成〞等到腳軟〞或者〞頸都長埋〞。
當然，等偶像是另計的。呵呵﹗

三個字，可以化解亞爸亞媽一場爭吵。
三個字，可以令一個單身的亞媽變成已婚的亞媽。
三個字，可以嚇醒一個不願意起床的亞爸，又同時令整大廈的人離開屋企。
三個字，可以令任何一個亞媽微笑，又可以令一個女子骨痺。
三個字，可以令亞媽煮飯煮快D。

你說，三個字是不是很神聖？

花名

由細到大，我的親戚（長輩）叫我做〞亞敏〞。
我堂家姐叫我做〞亞妹〞，所以我家人也跟著叫。
澳洲的表弟叫我做〞敏表姐〞。
有個auntie叫我做〞敏敏〞。

我的朋友叫我做〞Mandy〞，這其實是媽媽在我換兒童身分證時加上的。
中二那年，一個中學同學很喜歡幫人改花名，因此她開始叫我做〞文地〞，這也成為我常用的署名。
wayne哥哥唔知點解叫我做〞文文〞，究竟是〞敏敏〞的走音，還是文地的〞文〞的重複？
不過我都會應他的。

麥當勞搞一些promotion，Mc X－day就會有一些包特價，我lab的postdoc有一排常常吃麥當勞，於是我成為麥家一員︰〞McMonday〞。。。〞McSundae〞的延續。

一些口花花的男同學或者麻甩離遠看見我便大叫〞靚女〞﹗
通常〞靚女〞是自認，被人這樣稱呼，總覺得他們有點虛偽。
賣旗，賣獎券和做問券的路人通常叫我做〞小姐〞。總比叫我做〞大姐〞好。。
想不到聽得最多和應得最多的是︰〞喂﹗〞。

sweetheart喜歡叫我做〞honey〞。
茄茄第一次聽見我的中文全名，以為我叫做〞任品嚐〞。。。有點〞all you can eat〞feel。。。好味好味。。。
媽媽試過大聲罵過我做〞任人敏〞﹗噢。。。好似要讓所有人錫一樣。。。 無疑是一個詛咒。。。
懶惰的我被叫過做〞任敏豬〞及〞豬豬敏〞，這麼親暱的稱號，只適合〞特別〞的〞好朋友〞用。

很討厭別人用我名的其他字做花名。
例如︰用我名的另一個字︰〞嫦嫦〞或者我的姓氏〞任任〞的英文〞yam yam〞。
原因？因為欠缺獨特性。
究竟你是叫我還是我堂家姐？我和她的名字只是相差一個〞敏〞字，你還要這樣叫我？討厭。很不尊重我啊﹗

因此請你對號入座，用適當的花名來稱呼我。
如果你叫我做〞亞敏〞，我會當你是我的長輩。
如果你不是我的sweetheart但又叫我做〞honey〞，我會以為我的sweetheart整了容。
如果你叫我做〞任品嚐〞，我會告訴你，〞I will，你都食多D〞。
如果你用我不喜愛聽的名字叫我，我會知，你真是不太了解我。
如果你口花叫我做〞靚女〞，我會話你知，〞I know，你都係想我讚你靚吧﹗〞。

然而我最愛聽的，還是父母叫我做〞乖女〞。呵呵﹗

讀書人

I am so honored to be called "讀書人" by someone few days ago.
I can never imagined i m a "讀書人".
so far, my dad only called me "大懶蟲".
and i don't really like to "讀書".
I do like to read books. but that's called "看書".
coz i can learn a lot, open my eyes, n i find it interesting.
that's also y i like to talk to people n ask so many stupid questions to drive people crazy.
