Miss Mc.T is ranting about people sending out emails in Chinese to a load of people who are not Chinese or cannot read Chinese. Like me, but it doesn’t stop the gibbons in my team sending out crap everyday. I normally just ignore them, they never translate for me, but once they didn’t need to.
Someone sent a distasteful email about that picture of a little girl in Sudan with a vulture watching her, saying she wished she was that thin. Can you fucking believe that? Anyway, there was a load of blurb under the picture in Chinese.
I was so fucked off I replied. Telling her the story behind the picture (Sudan, famine, Kevin Carter, Pulitzer, classic of photo-journalism, suicide, etc.) and how outrageous I thought her comment was. Her reply:
“Wow, you can read Chinese, that’s what it says under the photo.”
“No, I can’t, I just know about that photo. It’s called reading and thinking. Read this, and think.”
Not sure she’s spoken to me since!
it was apparent that bird who wished to be as thin has her bonce firmly lodged inside her aris. same applies to birds of chinese descent over here. that’s why i stopped all forms of communication with ‘em except when there’s a need to. i was asked once if i was as singaporean as they were ‘cos i didn’t seem to be on the same wavelength as they were!! god help me.
i have never seen so many posts in one day.
bored are we?
Immensely.
Shaky, here is the answer to solve your boredom

The Power Of Positive Drinking
Some like wine and some like hops
but what I really love is my scotch
It’s the power, the power of positive drinking
Some people ruin their drinks with ice
and then they, they ask you for advice
They tell you, I’ve never told anyone else before
They say, Candy is dandy but liquor makes quipsters
and I don’t like mixers, or sippers or sob sisters
You know, you have to be real careful where you sit down
in a bar these days
And then some people drink to unleash their libidos
and other people drink to prop up their egos
It’s my burdon, man, people say
I have the kind of face you can trust
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
the pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
the pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
Some people say, alcohol makes you less lucid
and think that’s true if you’re kind of stupid
I’m not that kind that get’s himself burned twice
And some say liquor kills the cells in your head
and for that matter so does getting out of bed
When I exit, I’ll go out gracefully, shot in my hand
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
the pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
the pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
