Musings of Suresh “Great Baron” Jeyaverasingam

I craveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Durian! I was laughing really hard when I read this piece of news,
http://sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=18268. It seems that Durian is indeed the undisputed king of fruits….I don’t care what other people say it’s THE King of fruits. Some mat Salleh’s were invited to taste these divine gifts on earth, and they fled!

Sigh, travelled half way around the world to my country, and can’t even bear the smell of the fruit. god’s gift to mankind .

Something I received from my e-mail. Hope all of you find it enjoyable as I did.

Something to brighten up your day………

It is a myth that when a son gets married and a new daughter in law
arrives in the family, everything changes. Some daughters in law are well
trained and well mannered. They don’t come to change the family but they
are here to…………

The new wife was being welcomed at the husband’s home in a traditional
manner. As expected she gave a speech:

My dear family, I thank you for welcoming me into my new home and family”,
she said “Firstly, my being here does not mean that I would want to
change your way of life or your routine. No, I will never do that, never
in a million years”.

“What do you mean my child?” Asked the father in law.

“What I mean dad is (looking at her father in law):

Those who used to wash dishes must carry on washing them.
Those who used to do the laundry must carry on doing it.
Those who cooked shouldn’t stop at my account, and Those who used to Clean
should continue cleaning”.

“Then what are you here for?” Asked the mother in law.

“As for me, my job is to only entertain your son!”

I got the post below from my e-mail. It’s all about having wits. I guess in life, sometimes when we’re dealt with a cruel blow or when facing with what seems an impossible situation, its good to sometimes step back (not too long though) and face the situation by thinking differently.

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her
faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company. One day the poodle
starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that she’s lost.
Wandering about, she notices a leopard heading rapidly in her direction with
the intention of having lunch. The old poodle thinks,

“Oh, oh! I’m in deep shit now!” Noticing some bones on the ground close by, she
immediately settles down to chew on the bones with her back to the approaching
cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the old poodle exclaims loudly,
“Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around
here?” Hearing this, the young leopard halts his
attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into
the trees.

“Whew!” says the leopard, “That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!”

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree,
figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from
the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the
leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon
catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself
with the leopard. The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says,
“Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving
canine!” Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back
and thinks, “What am I going to do now?”, but instead of running, the dog sits
down with her back to her attackers, pretending she hasn’t seen them yet, and
just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says:

“Where’s that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another
leopard!”

Moral of this story… Don’t mess with old farts…age and treachery will
always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and
experience!
