Legend of The 12 Animals on the Chinese Calendar
since i have nothing else better to do Chinese New Year is just around the corner, i'd like to share a wonderful folk legend on how the twelve animals of the Chinese Calendar were chosen.

ACT I - A Demand for Respect
One day the Four Celestial Generals came to see Emperor Sakra (the King of Heavens in Buddhism, some Chinese called him Jade Emperor) and reported, "Your Majesty, there is a group of animals protesting outside the Heavenly Gate demanding respect."
"What is going on?" asked Emperor Sakra. "Bring their representatives in. I like to hear what they say."
"Yes, your Majesty" replied the Celestial Generals and soon they returned with a mouse, an ox and a monkey."
"Your Majesty." said the animal representatives. "We demand respect from human beings."
"Why?"
"Because we animals provide human beings with food, milk, clothing, transportation, work and recreation. We plow their fields, pull their carts, watch their houses, sing to them and give them companionship. Therefore, we demand recognition and respect from human beings."
"OK. Your request is granted" said the King of Heavens. "The Lord Buddha is the teacher of all sentient beings in the Universe. Now he is sick and you should all visit Him. I now give the decree that the first ten animals that go to see Him on the coming New Year Day will be named the animals of the consecutive years. Now, you go to tell everyone in the Animal Kingdom."
So off they went. The mouse would inform all the household animals, the ox, all the farm animals and the monkey, all the animals in the wild, that the Lord Buddha was sick and everyone would visit Him to pay tribute, right on midnight of the coming New Year Eve.
ACT II - The Mouse Cheated the Cat
Time had come on New Year Eve. The cat came home from a big New Year Eve party and was very tired. He asked the mouse, "I am very tired. I like to sleep for a while before I go to see the Lord Buddha. Can I trust you to wake me up so that we can go together?"
"Sure" said the mouse. "Trust me. Otherwise, I would not tell you of this big occasion at all."
Then the cat went to his bed and soon was sound asleep. It was now a few moments away from midnight and the mouse thought, "If I go by myself, I will have one less competitor." So off he went without bothering waking up the cat.
ACT III - At the Temple
As everybody was waiting outside the Temple, the Celestial Generals arrived to make sure everything was in order and to act as referees. They would report back to Emperor Sakra the result of this competition. Buddha's senior student Ananda was responsible for recording the winning animals. When everybody was ready, one of the Celestial Generals shouted out the order in military fashion, "ARE YOU READY? NOW!! GO!!"
Off everybody went in the race. The ox was a very strong animal because he used to plow the land for human beings, so he was leading all the way. "How can I win the race? I am no match for the ox. I have to do some trick." thought the mouse. And he jumped onto the ox and climbed all the way to the horn. When the ox arrived, the mouse jumped down and immediately paid tribute to the Buddha. Ananda had no choice but to give the mouse a first, followed by the ox. Soon, all the other eight animals arrived in the following order: tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey and rooster. And Ananda wrote down all the ten animals in his report.
"STOP!!" shouted the Celestial Generals " We have ten animals already!"
But Ananda wrote in such a hurry and excitement that he put down DOG instead of STOP in his hand writing.
"We have enough animals! Would you stop writing PLEASE?!" shouted the Celestial Generals. But, in an excitement, Ananda put down PIG instead of PLEASE. Seeing this, the Celestial Generals rushed over to Ananda and took the report from him.
When daylight arrived, the Celestial Generals took the report and returned to the Heavenly Palace. "Oh Well" said Emperor Sakra, on reading the report. "Since there are twelve animals paying tribute to the Lord Buddha. I will decree that all of them will be named animals of each year from now onwards." And from then onward, each of the the twelve animals is designated for each year in the Buddhist calendar.
ACT IV - The Mouse Deserves Punishment for his Cheating
Back home the cat asked the mouse, "When are we going to see the Lord Buddha?"
"You slept like a log." replied the mouse. "Everyone went, and I am the winner!"
On hearing this, the cat was furious. "You cheater!" He jumped upon the mouse and killed him. From then onwards, all the cats in the world will try to catch and kill the mouse whenever possible.

Pantun orang putih
Roses are red, Violets are blue
Monkeys like u should be kept in zoo.
Don't feel so angry you will find me there too
Not in cage but laughing at you.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Twinkle Twinkle little star
You should know what you are
And once you know what you are
Mental hospital is not so far.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The rain makes all things beautiful.
The grass and flowers too.
If rain makes all things beautiful
Why doesn't it rain on you?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I wrote your name on sand it got washed.
I wrote your name in air, it was blown away.
Then ~
I wrote your name on my heart & I got Heart Attack
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
God saw me hungry, he created pizza .
He saw me thirsty, he created Pepsi
He saw me in dark, he created light
He saw me without problems, he created YOU.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When ur life is in darkness pray to God
Ask him to free u from darkness
And if after you pray
And you're still in darkness,
Please pay your ELECTRICITY BILL!

i feel like a piece of shit right now
these past few days, i've been doing quite a lot of technician's work and most of the jobs i attended to comes from the chancellory's office. just now, our new boss a.k.a THE JERK ask me to go to chancellory again to look into this tnc hep's pc. he (the tnc) complained that his pc is very slow.
so, being the obedient "kuli batak" that i am, i called the tnc's secretary and told her that i'll be there in a few minutes. as i was abt to go, i had this conversation with my colleague...
mimi : eh, sya pi tnc hep aa...
colleague : kenapa?
mimi : pc dia slow kunun
colleague : wah... jadi orang tnc dah skaranggg...
mimi : terpaksalah... itu laa... org suruh ambil technician lagi, tidak mau, terpaksa saya yg pigi...
oopsss!!!!
maybe i shouldnt have said the last sentence coz immediately after i finished talking, i heard THE JERK calling my colleague. a few seconds later, my colleague came out of THE JERK's office and said that she was asked to go instead of me!
what?!!!
aiya!!! i'm sorry...
i wasnt aware that my volume was actually blaringly loud... and i think i've offended THE JERK coz now when he passed by my desk, his face looks as if he wanted to kill someone - and i have a feeling, that "someone" is me.
anyways, i have insisted on going and it turned out that there's nothing wrong with the pc. pc's working fine, internet is ok, it's just that when he tried to open UMS website, it took forever to load. ah, well... u know laaa... that's why some people are so bz lately
why would i feel like shit?
if someone keep glaring at u and keep giving u the i'm-going-to-kill-you look - and that someone happens to be your boss - you'd feel like one too...

Happy New Year 2006!
i guess it's not too late to wish Happy New Year to everyone... i could've done it sooner but i was just lazy
so, the usual boring question...
what's your new year resolution?
for me... i dont know, i never had a new year resolution. maybe that's why my life never changed for the better. i guess this year i want to save enough money and go travelling. and by travelling i mean travelling outside Malaysia. kesian bah me, i'm 26 and i've never been anywhere. i dont even own a passport! kesian kan? i used to study in skudai and singapore is like just next to jb but no, i've never been there. i'm pathetic!
so, this year, i must go!
at first, i was thinking of going for maybe the 10 days europian tour but after much thinking, i dont think i can save enough to go on that kind of trip this year (so banyak my thinking
). then i remembered that i've once seen a friend of mine go for a tour in China and there's this place where they have this sort of replica to the famous places/monuments around the world. with the help of my colleague, i finally found the place (on the net of course). it's actually called the Window of the World located at Shenzhen, China. take a lot of pictures and bluff your friends saying you've been to Eiffel Tower, to Taj Mahal, to Egypt, etc etc and they'll never know the difference. but of course they'll notice you had the same outfit on all pics laa...
i saw a tour promotion at Reliance Travel to this very place and the price is quite reasonable. affordable laa... plus, you get to go to hong kong disneyland some more and also "peluang bersama Amy Mastura secara dekat"
but so that you know, i'm not a fan, ok?ok, it's settled then. i'm going to shenzhen. want to join me?
