For now, super duper hungry k.... Tummy growling........................... yipes!

Dare to be Different!!!

This morning as I checked my email, a good pal sent a .pps
And usually I don't download them, just chuck it in trash....(had too much of these liao)
But then I know this fren will not simply forward stuff wan... So I checked it out lor....

hmmmmmmm interesting...

It tells the tale of a blind boy sitting on the steps of a building wif a sign
'Please Help! I'm blind'

hours passed... in that time, people wud drop a few coins... or nickels as they call it....

Then there was a guy
(aiyah... guy or gal... how I know... the story say guy, guy lar...)

He stopped, took a few coins from his pocket n dropped it in the boy's hat.

He then took the sign and turn it around to write something. After that, he put the sign back so that people can see the new signage.

*at this time I'm oso curious so quickly flip the next slide.....*

*flip*
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.


nothing one....??? *flip....*
That same afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were....
The boy recognised his footsteps and asked 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning?? wat did you write?'

The man replied ' I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a DIFFERENT way;'


What the man had written was:

Today is a Beautiful day and I cannot see it'


Both signs conveyed same messages, but differently. First was more blunt, second was more creative and made people see how lucky that they are to experience the sights and sounds that behold!!!

Interesting one lar....

Then they had like ... 2 lessons at the end of the slide

Lesson 1: Be thankful forwhat you haf. Someone else has less. Help when you can.
Lesson 2: Be Creative, Be Innovative, Think Differently.
There is always a better way.

peace out!!!!

heya

Good morning!!!!
I was reading a website this morning and wondered how people come up wif stuff for their blogs.... And then I read mine ... wa liaooooooo pale in comparison man... bleagh! haha! just my normal diary post... so the bengang....
I shall try to write la (am in the midst of constructing one)... otherwise defeats purpose of calling it my8cents right? Might as well rename it as mydailylive.... hmmmmmmmmmm seems like a guud idea... ahahahah!!!

OK lar... back to blogging my8cents

hullo world....

GUUUUUD MORNING!!!!!!

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i not enuff sleep lehz,
despite sleeping in early Monday night (Monday slept ard 10.30...) OH Yeah I told u that bit of info liao..........

Yday...slept ard 2am lehz... wa liao... this morning struggle to get out of bed. But I MANAGED to get my butt out....

drove to work, listening to the radio, read the papers at traffic light.

DR. M is back liao, and he lashed back at the latest big issue about Proton's CEO, APs and Rafidah.... this will never end, I tell you..........

Ho hum!!!!!! my Wednesday morning!!!!!

Make d best out of it...

Haf you ever heard the song Simply the Best.

I met up wif a pal over the weekend and we were chatting a WHOLE lot of thing. She's married and can't get along realli well wif her mom in law. I was telling her... Yeah?? (not surprised...not even an eye-brow raised..) But yeah... it's a major issue here in Asian countries...wonder why leh ?? sigh....

There's only one gal fren that I know of that does get along really well wif her mom-in-law, and it does amazes me.... they can chat,do things like old mates, or like mother-daughter bond. Which is ... kewl lah....

Anyways, this pal I met over the weekend.... she said that she just makes the best out of the situation.
And I thought to meself when I listen to some songs, or think of the things that she said... HEY...MAKE sense wor.... Why not look at it in a positive manner, or ... just let it go in an ear, go out the other... You don't wanna shorten your life just by being miserable over one minute stuff right? We're SIMPLY THE BEST, and we shud make full use of the time to make the best out of it.

So go on..............

ENJOY your life...It's a beautiful one. (whether work or play or sleep :p)

$%&^#!!!

Nabehhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

I typed a WHOLE entry in here...
Clicked Publish Post and it tells me
CANNOT FIND SERVER!!!!!

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Anyways, saved it so here you go...........
-----------------------------------------------

G'day!!!!
Those who missed seeing last entry, you didn't miss much, it was just a one liner. I was a bit down last night and it didn't shake off when I got out of bed this morning. Bleagh!!!

Thankfully, felt much better after lunch wif AE. We had chicken rice, it was Soooooooooo much much yummier and cheaper than the Nasi Kandar fare we had last week,...

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY IS IT SOOOOOOO FREAKING EXPENSIVE TO EAT IN NASI KANDAR SHOPS ???

We had 2plates of white rice, 2chicken drumsticks,one plate of mutton curry, one plate of veg (long beans + cucumber), one plate of fried mee, one Iced Milo and one Teh Tarik.

guess how much it cost us......





go on................ guess before you scroll any further....................





are you not guessing????????








guess le....................





RM 33.00



YES!!! You read right.... THIRTY THREE RINGGIT......



OK lemme give you the breakdown of the prices:
2plates of white rice RM 2 (RM 1 per plate)
2chicken drumsticks RM 8 (RM 4 per drumstick)
mutton RM 10
veg RM 5
fried mee RM 4
Drinks RM 4.50 (RM 2.50 Iced Milo, RM 2 Teh Tarik)

RM 33.50 Lar....

The eye popping one was...........

RM 4 per drumstick... Not the whole leg.... just the teeny weeny drumstick....(I can get a whole chicken leg for RM 3 in the pasar malam, deep fried)

this is crazy. HOW COME THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT STEPPING IN TO CONTROL the price??

I'M NEVER............. NEVER stepping in a Nasi Kandar shop unless:
1. I'm only ordering a roti telor costing RM 1.50
2. DEAD hungry and there's nothing left to eat nearby...................


I wished................. I was a famous blogger whom the media keep a lookout on me and watch this space man... I mean... talk about RIPOFFS..............

UNbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday, July 19, 2005

Whoopiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy after work today, went to get my shoes at MidValley!!!!!!!! I'm now a proud owner of a white n red shoe.... burnt a hole in me pocket, but at least it's got a good grip for me leg, good arch support lor.
Andd...............

FINALLY bought handwrap, rather than hand gloves... yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


Heppi heppi heppi!!! On the way back was 2% heart+pocket ache, the other 110% over the moon, FINALLY after searching around for like 3weeks plus... so the deprived of my Steps classes man...........

ok chiao, better get ready to sleep soon la,
nitey nitey all!!!! Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Carpe diem - this is worth reading....

Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.

I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic whopassed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.

How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn'tsuggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Doesthe word "refrigeration" mean nothing to you?

How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched 'Jeopardy' on television?

I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, "How about goingto lunch in a half hour?" She would gas up and stammer, "I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, It looks like rain." And my personal favorite: "It's Monday." ..She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together.

Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches.. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect!

*obviously written by an American. It happens more so in Asian countries when people go to work before the crack of dawn and work till veri veri veri late!!!*Pam

We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Stevietoilet-trained. We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet.We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.

Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter,and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, weawaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of "I'm going to," "I plan on," and "Someday, when things are settled down a bit."

When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.

My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It'sjust that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.

Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to......notsomething on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and hadonly one phone call you could make, who would you call and what wouldyou say? And why are you waiting?

Make sure you read this to the end; you will understand why I sent this to you.

Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened tothe rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erraticflight or gazed at the sun into the fading night? Do you run througheach day on the fly? When you ask "How are you?" Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundredchores running through your head? Ever told your child, "We'll do ittomorrow." And in your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a good Friendship die? Just call to say "Hi"?

When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopenedgift....Thrown away... Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear themusic before the song is over.

Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a circle of friends. To those I have sent this to... I cherish our friendship.
"Life may not be the party we hoped for... but while we are here we might as well dance!"

I might haf sent this email out before, but yeah, this kinda reminder comes at a time when many of us are fighting for time, in this dog-eat-dog world. Very often we wonder where all our time went?
Sadly, I look at some of my friends who are climbing the corporate ladder, or working very very hard. I think until they got so sick of me nagging them liao,surprisingly we still remain friends, and they know I do it out of concern. I love them, and would like to see them .... mebbe enjoy a cuppa coffee or tea together, relaxing, chit chatting, Spending time wif friends or loved ones.cos you neva know...someday either you or the other person, will have to move away, or die... And don't you regret that you didn't make enough time for that person.That's why I cherish every emails or calls that friends make, and utilise our time together. don't wanna regret them.....

back to working week!!

LUNCHTIME liao.....

Waaaaahhhhhhh

Another 15minutes to be officially off work, but I need to liaise wif colleague in UK. bleagh!
Anyways, I was searching high and low for VK Chin artikel since I missed it last week. aiyoooooooooo he must be a fan of Dr Chua the current health minister, or one of his friends or wat..... Remember I read his article last two Fridays? he wrote about him... (I missed last Friday's one) Wondered what he wrote then.....

Nothing to write issit? Write lar about the bloody cockup near the Klang/Bukit Jelutong highway that collapse last week....
Or write about Last Thursday's bombing in London.. (ok so mebbe that's a bit 'foreign')
OR write about....... the current durian glut *THERE!!!! some mention of fruits....there you go Marie*hahaha
or ..... write about femes bloggers in Malaysia. *DEY... It seems like it's one of the HOTTEST topics the media been focusing on past month*
write about.... Live 8 ???
write about....... the current rainy season....

HE HAD to write about the health ministry and how much it seems to haf done for the welfare of doctors lar....???
No offense I do think it's a good idea because for far too long they've been deprived of it. Underpaid, OVERworked.... u think the other Malaysian doctors working overseas, will wanna come back meh?Unless they're SUPER patriotic la....
but... errrrrrr ... 2 articles in 3weeks? GOTTA be kidding!!!!!!!!
*now if you write about food it's a different thingy altogether...*

ok lah... time to call colleague, sort out some stuff, and I'M OUTTA HERE... Wahooooooooo beh tahan liao... grrrrrrrrrrrrr..... *tension building up*

Being Malaysian,happy being here!

I was surfing the Net and read on the cnn website...
best places to live in.... So I went to check it out. They listed places in the US... And I'm like thinking to meself... Eh!!! Why these people don't write about Malaysia one ar??? cheh!

Nemind... I WRITE!!

Here's 5 good reasons WHY I LOVE living in Malaysia, and being a Malaysian:
1. we live in a multiracial country. Which other country has a coalition which has all the other races joining together as one??)
2. living in a multiracial country means ... we get to sample each other's culture and food
3. weather here - SUMMER whole year round.... lol!!!
4. There's food EVERYWHERE! I think Malaysia will be the last place where people will die of starvation. Wat wud you like today? Bak Kut teh?Mee Jawa?Asam Laksa (mmmm yummmyyy!!), Satay?mee goreng?banana leaf rice??char kuay teow?chee cheong fun?
Feeling like having international food? There's Italian, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Pakistani, Thai, Indonesian fare....Some of the shops are open 24hours. Imagine, you can walk or take a 3minutes drive out and you can order what you wanna eat liao, instead of making your own maggi mee....
5. My daddy,mommy,siblings, uncles, aunties, cousins, NEPHEWS!!!, and dear friends are here...
THAT'S WHY!!!!

Mebbe I hafn't left my home country to study abroad, or work abroad (me is the ultimate katak di bawah tempurung, but am proud of it!!)
That's why I kennot fathom wat ex-roomie loves about her Auckland in NZ. I'm like... POOH!!! wat's nice about AKL? people are so slow moving, shops close by 5pm, there's autumn and winter...bleagh!

Monday

It's surprising wor... Been raining two days back to back in the afternoons. The meteorological dept did some cloud seeding or what???

Wah liaoooooooooo so the nice weather to sleep man .... wished it was a Saturday/Sunday afternoon... wahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Wonder wat me pal OL is doing. we had lunch earlier and she's now back home sweet home. she on leave ma... Seronoknya!!!! Wa sai! I wanna zzzzzzzzz oso!!!! We had lunch together. Alwiz love OL's company. she super nice to hang out wif. then we had tiramisu oso... wah! haha! See if Wed gotta make time to the gym liao. haha!

Yesterday parents came back from Camerons, by the time mom walked in the house, she was like... wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh VERI tired arrrrrrrr.... I asked if she enjoyed the trip, she said yeah, but a lot of walking (strawberry farm and rose garden) and they been travelling since 9AM in the morning... reached home oni after I did the last entry... so they arrived around 10.30. I was like........ HUH? So long wan... where u guys went lar... Siao arrrrrrr.....
We (me n parents) ended up chit chatting about their trip. Left Camerons at 9,went to Ipoh, then to both parents hometown (in Perak) and then to Tanjung Tualang for some seafood (salivating again...) and then drove to Kuala Selangor for some crabs...wahhhhhhhh!!!
Talked til then kennot tahan liao it was already 11.20pm, she had to go zzzzzzz. I went to her room to get some stuff, wahhhhhh snoring like a pig liao... haha! Wondered if I snored too last night... hehehe!!!

OK la... waaaaaaaa talking about snoring... ooo yooooo feel like hugging my sister's Pooh bolster and sleeping wif my Salt and my Michelle piglet!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......... Nice!!!!

dependant on me bloggie

Realised I've become dependant on my bloggie lately, for checking what I did on a certain particular day. Like last whole weekI also forgot wat I did for a coupla days. Aiyak... sei forrr liao.... becoming older.. bleagh!!! Haf to train brain to work again... ahahahaha!!!!

Thursday was a realli crazy day at work... Friday a little bit towards the evening. Had to sort out a whole lot of shitty problems concerning shipments, liaising wif my UK colleagues. It's difficult in that sense we're just the middle person, not on either end. man!! really like trying to pick up pieces of shit. felt yucky after work on Friday, just wanted to go home n relax......
Mana tau, went home, bro was still not back yet. Grrrrrrrrr!!!! I was like super hungry liao.....Had nasi lemak at the local mamak.

Oh yeah... My dear AE helped buy me two packets of tomyam/nyonya paste and it was yummy l;ar.... Tried the tomyam paste wif sotong Friday night and it was superb! before the rice was ready, we already gobbled up the whole thing! haha!

Saturday invited Char over for dinner, I didn't haf fish or sotong so I dump chicken in the nyonya paste. Fuyoooooooo sedaps oso... ahaks! lucky thing that was edible... haha! I wonder if other frens will be so willing to come over for my cooking. hahahaha!!!!

Cheerio! Nite!!!

Kenny and Minishorts war

Hohohohohohoho!!!! Just finished reading kennysia's latest blog entry,super farnee lar tat fello, he was responding to Minishorts entry on a conversation they both had. Siao bloggers!!!! go check it out when u haf the time *Warning!! may be a bit offensive to some,if u can't take it, then DON'T bother reading it ok*

lee-tel beet of heestori

I was reading babysiew's blogspot and was like thinking.... sniff!!!! wah lau eh... brought back memories of me paternal grandparents when she wrote that her grandpa is suffering from Stage 4 cancer.... so I told her I'd write about my set of grandparents lorrr....

My maternal grandparents passed away before I was born, Gong Gong ages before...EVen my Dad didn't get to see him. Po Po passed away around 2months before I was born. :(((
Mum will normally tell us about Po Po. seems my Gong Gong quite handsome, but I think I don't like him lor... Cos he very flirty and playboy type one. I haf no recollection of mum telling me whether he loves any of his grandkids. My Po Po was his first wife, and he had many many other flings that my Po Po tolerated. and then he brought back a second wife. My 2nd Po Po (we used to call her Po Po as well as my mom had taught us so) was a nice lady oso lar,we been visiting her since we were young... She passed on about coupla years back due to kidney failure or something like that.
Haaaaaaa... My Po Po (the one who passed away 2months before i wuz born) She was a gem. I mean... according to my mum lar.... very sweet.. I think my mum and her sisters worshipped her. serious!!! I ain't joking. A lot of times when mum wud reminisce about times when Po Po was alive, really really made me wished I was born like 20years before so that I could enjoy that grandmother-grand daughter relationship. Mom always says that my Po Po wud haf loved me to bits if she had lived longer.... *damn!!!* hahahaha!
yeah....
so that's my maternal set of grandparents......

My Paternal set of grandparents were still around til 90s.
My grandpa Gong Gong had a business in his hometown and so he worked really hard. So my grandma Ah Ma was always wif him lor... (Until somewhere in 1992 or something like that, she had a stroke. She was brought to KL to live wif us as Dad was the eldest son.)
We onli see them when we go back during school holidays and Chinese New Year, which is like... mebbe 3times a year.
Those were the days..........as I grow up, I really miss those times when we wud all travel and stuff like that
On the way back, I'd always ask Dad to teach us how to call Gong Gong to jiak p'ng (eat rice) or learn some simple Hokkien to converse wif him.Reach there, hardly got time to talk to him one. The only time you get a chance to talk to him is when you arrive, he's there to receive us. And then during makan times we'd call him Gong Gong chiak. (customary to call elders to eat) and after the meal offer him fruits. Gong Gong loved oranges.
He was a very very very hardworking man......

Things took a turn after Ah Ma had a stroke. She stayed a while back in hometown and you could see the softer side of my Gong Gong. He was soooooooooo sweet... He'd stay wif my Ah Ma during her meal times. Something really struck me and touched my heart man... You know wat he'll do???
He wud divide my Ah Ma's medicine.... Like if the med says one pill four times, he'd quarter it. and wrapped each portion of medicine in tissue paper...... *swoon!!!!!!!!!!!!* And he wud personally feed my Ah Ma her medicine EVERYDAY,PUNCTUALLY.
I was like........... WAAAAAAAAAAAAA SUCH A NICE MAN!!!!!! Forget about marrying a guy like my Dad... I wanna guy like my Gong Gong!!!!!!!!

After Ah Ma's condition deteriorated, she had to come to KL to stay wif us, we had to haf a nurse coming in to take care of her cos she couldn't really walk much. She'd be either in her bed or in the hall outside.
My heart wrecked to see her like tis, when while we were back in the hometown she wud always always take us out for a ride in the beca... a few of us wud tag along wif her.
I think Gong Gong's heart wrecked too, to send his beloved off far far away from him. Gong Gong would call (I can't remember how frequently) but he's call, and talk to Daddy and talk to Ah Ma for a while. He's that sweeet!!!!! ohmigosh.. U wud think olden times people wud not be like that... but seeing how he treated my Ah Ma... I tellyu...
Gong Gong wud make time to come up to KL to visit Ah Ma, not often, but say ... 3/4times a year lor.
Another side of Gong Gong was he always always made sure that Dad and his siblings had proper education. That was also one of his concerns. he wud work hard to make sure there was food on the table and enuff money to send his kids to skool.

That, was my Gong Gong....I wish I had known my Gong Gong better.......but then, that was not to be, in any case, things like this is very common, as when a person dies, there wud be things u ask... like... Wished I spent more time wif that person...
That's why I keep pestering my parents to visit Dad's aunt before ... she goes.

This morning super sleepy lar, lack of sleep, a bit slow oso in the office, but from afternoon onwards, wah liao, phone calls non stop, sorting out some shipments, pang sai oso not free man... ugh!!!! no time to read blogs, emails, do the blog entry until now lah....

Reading the news earlier, there was a news article on HIV/AIDS, whereby the 7th ICAAP is on going in Kobe, Dr Peter Piot, a HIV AIDS activist was commenting on the sharp rise of people becoming infected with the disease, especially in Asia, mentioning Myanmar, Burma, Malaysia.
Was just reflecting on it. I attended a workshop coupla years back and someone mentioned that in a coupla years time Malaysia (or some of the 'minority' countries) would have cases as much as African nations if we do not take steps to educate/prevent it *shudder*
That's why am glad to note coupla weeks ago the current government has taken radical steps to go ahead with the needle+condom programme

one of the msian cabinet minister...

Good day!!!!

Hallooooooooooooo


Last week I commented to someone that the current Health Minister seems to be doing his job. Not like the previous one, Datuk Chua Jui Meng didn't (I kinda like his approach of doing stuff), it's just that I feel Datuk Dr CHua Soi Lek really means business, he's acted on some of the things he said.

Read the Star today and read the comment written by VK Chin... thought to meself... Hey!!! Kewl! *ok from now on I'll pay more attention to that column*
Check out VK Chin's article below.....
---------------------------------------------
Friday July 1, 2005-- Getting our healthcare into shape,V.K.CHIN

HEALTH Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek and his officials have been working overtime in putting the public healthcare sector into shape in order to better serve the public.

The public should be able to notice the changes very soon, especially in getting speedier treatment at general hospitals and government clinics. So far, changes have been made to improve the infrastructure and upgrade existing facilities.

The next move is for the ministry to look into the manpower side to improve healthcare services for the public.

In order to do this, Dr Chua must find ways to get more doctors to perform clinical duties, particularly those in charge of managing the hospitals and other health centres.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced on Tuesday the setting up of a separate scheme to be known as the hospital administration service to relieve doctors of such non-clinical functions.

The new service will be run by experienced medical officers and nurses with the required years of service in this field. Currently, all hospital directors or state medical directors are doctors who have to stop doing clinical work to perform administrative duties.

There is a general belief that only doctors, or those who are specially trained for this task, are qualified to do the work, as non-medical civil servants are deemed – and quite rightly so – unsuitable for such assignments.

However, it is a real waste of a doctor's training, which is to save lives and cure the sick, to be looking at files and attending meetings instead.

As being a hospital or state medical director is a promotion, it is normal that those given the new tasks will accept them, the pay and allowances of medical officers and specialists being what they are.

Under the present system, the ministry may be losing a good doctor but getting a mediocre administrator instead, which is really a poor exchange where the Government and public are concerned.

What the Government wants is that doctors do what they are trained to do; and that is to spend all their time treating the sick, especially those from the lower-income group and the hardcore poor.

This is of course the right decision for the Government to take and, fortunately, it has followed up with an important change in its new policy. And the good news is that doctors will continue to get promotions despite the changes.

Many government doctors are quite dedicated to their work and they like to continue to serve. But the main grouses are not merely financial, but that there are just insufficient doctors to look after so many patients, especially at certain hospitals.

This has put a tremendous strain on them and is affecting their dealings with their patients.
With the new hospital management service, another 100 or more doctors and specialists will be available to help out, thus reducing the shortage.

Hopefully, the recent increases in allowances will help prevent some of those wishing to join the private sector on completion of their three-year compulsory service from leaving the service.
---------------------------------------------
Wishing Datuk Dr Chua all the best in performing his duties, who knows where it'll get him to (in terms of party politics and where he'll go next in the Cabinet)
For now.... Hats to you!!! :))

Tongue twisters

Tongue-twister:
"A sequence of words, often alliterative, difficult to articulate quickly." (Oxford English Dictionary)

I've often been intriguing by the tongue twisting business. When I was young, my mom used to read that to me as a kiddo, and she'd prod me to practise and learn it. my fave wud be the Peter Piper one. Goes like this....
----------------------------------------------
Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers,
A pack of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked,
If Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers,
where's the pack of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
----------------------------------------------
and then there are loads too, some one liners, some a whole paragraph. Some of my other faves are...

She sells seashell by the seashore. (it's a hoot last time when my sis were younger, me n mom wud make her do that n she'd get bloody irritated at me n mom... lol*)
---------------------------------------------------
I thought a thought.
But the thought I thought wasn't the thought
I thought I thought.

---------------------------------------------------
Which witch wished which wicked wish?
--------------------------------------------------
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would
if a woodchuck could chuck wood
. (I think this is me mom's fave.... heh! couldn't match her when she read that.... All I did was the Peter Piper one... heh! *snigger*)
---------------------------------------------------
Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
Just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw
!
(like tis one too!!)
---------------------------------------------------
Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter--
that would make my batter better."

So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

Hope you had fun reading them... hehe!
