Funny Story, Good Morals

Hi Friends!

Today i've received a email from an old friend, it consist of several lessons and morals. So i want to share it for you all... please enjoy..

LESSON 1

A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp.

They rub the lamp and a ghost appears.
The ghost says, "Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each"

So the eager senior manager shouted, "I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas , on a fast boat and have no worries." Pfufffff. and he was gone.

Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be In Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Pfufffff and he was also gone.

The boss calmly said, "I want these two idiots back in the office afterlunch at 12:55pm."

Moral of the story:
"ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSS TO SPEAK FIRST"

LESSON 2
Standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand, "Listen,"

said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?"

"Certainly," said the young executive.
He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.

"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder machine. "I just need one copy."

Moral of the story:
"NEVER, NEVER ASSUME THAT YOUR BOSS KNOWS EVERYTHING"

LESSON 3
An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA when the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of -ese are you?"

The Japanese confused, replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what you mean."
The American repeated, "What kind of -ese are you?"

Again, the Japanese was confused over he question.

The American, now irritated, then yelled, "What kind of -ese are you ... Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese!, etc......???-"

The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese."
A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked what kind of kee was he.

The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what kind of -kee am I ?!"

The Japanese said, "Are you a Yankee, donkee, or monkee?"

Moral of the story:
"NEVER INSULT ANYONE"

LESSON 4
There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American and a French,who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appeared.

Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, he said, "Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of water to become, then your wish will come true."

The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted, "WINE".
The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool.

Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same and shouted, "VODKA" and immersed himself into a pool of vodka.

The German was next and he jumped and shouted, "BEER". He was so contented with his beer pool.

The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly he steps on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool and shouted, "SHIT!!!!!!!-.........-"

Moral of the story:
"THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING, BECAUSE SOMETIMES ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN"

LESSON 5
The organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was in-charge. Each organ took a turn to speak up:

Brain..... I should be in-charge because I run all body functions.

Blood..... I should be in-charge because I circulate oxygen for the brain.

Stomach... I should be in-charge because I process food to the brain.

Legs...... I should be in-charge because I take the brain where it wants to go.

Eyes...... I should be in-charge because I let the brain see where it's going.

Asshole... I should be in-charge because I get rid of your waste.

All the other parts laughed so hard and this made the asshole very mad.
To prove his point, the asshole immediately slammed tightly closed and stayed that way for 6 days, refusing to rid the body of any waste whatsoever.

Day 1: Brain got a terrible headache and cried out for relief Day 2: Stomach got bloated and began to ache terribly Day 3: Legs got cramps and became unstable Day 4: Eyes became watery and vision became blurred Day 5: Blood became toxic and poisoned the body Day 6: The other organs agreed to let the asshole be in-charge.

Moral of the story:
"NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, OR HOW IMPORTANT YOU THINK YOU ARE, YOU WILL FIND THAT IT IS ALWAYS THE ASSHOLE THAT IS IN-CHARGE"


So How it is??? funny huh?? i laugh in every part of the lesson.... wkwkwkwkwkwk

Thanks to Giant for sending this email..

What a Funny lesson!


Warmly Regards,

- Get and learn lessons in fun way... so it will get into your mind. hahahaha.. ^ ^

My Friend Birthday!

Hi friends!

Several days ago my friends and I planned to celebrate our beloved friend, Recca. Actually we have been discussed it when we gather at FX. We planned to give recca a surprise party.

Here is the scenario:

Before the day

Stefanus (Boim) had planned Recca’s kinapped. He told Yonish to have an appointment with Recca at Taman Anggrek. Yonish asked him accompanied her to buy shoes and bag.


On the day (Saturday, 09 August ’08)

11.00 AM

Yonish, Recca, and I arrived at the mall. Yonish and Recca walked together meanwhile, I walked alone searching for new shoes. I can’t walk together with them because if he saw me, he will curious and knew our plan.


14.00 PM

I meet liberman and Dion at Gramedia, we were waiting for Boim instructions. After we got the instructions, we directly went to Ajisen Ramen (Japanese restaurant) to meet Recca. While Liberman wait there, Dion, Boim, and I wait at the back of the restaurant. While waiting, Boim asked the security permission to run the scenario.

Then Recca’s eye was fold by handkerchief, without any offense he was taken to Boim car then we went to Strawberry Café. At that café our other friend had wait for our coming.


15.00 PM

We arrived at Strawberry Café. We sat Recca on a chair and asked the waitress to set the cake and surprise.
The lamp was off and the music goes….. ta daaa!!! Happy birthday!! Happy Birthday!!….

Recca was so surprised and start to recognized where he was.. hahahaha.. then he blew the magic candle and cut the cake… First cake goes to Boim! The one who planned this.
After that we eat there and played several interesting game… it was so fun and entertaining..
When we eat K.Fredy and Pandu came, after finishing all the game we have to go.


17.30 PM

We went to TA by Boim’s car…
Unfortunately we all forget to bring Recca’s bday cake.. sooo...

We went back to the café to get it. hahahahaha....


18.00 PM

Arrived there… some went to ATM while K.Fredy and I went to G2000

I accompany him to buy several shirt. He asked for my suggestion, which one is best and suit to him. I choose a pink stripe shirt and a green shirt, because he will use it with a blazer. So it will be nice to choose a bright color to make good accent and stripe pattern, to make him slimmer. Beside that, K.fredy had more dark shirt than bright shirt, so… I choose another color for him. Bright color will make him more attractive… ^ ^

After K.fredy tried several shirt, he buy two of it.. one is the pink stripe shirt and the other is blue shirt (his favorite color)


18.45 PM

Pandu went back home…. He has something to do with his job, and so do I.
Soooo I also permit to go back while the others continued their fun time there.

What a day!



Warmly Regards,

The Highlights:
- Birthday present doesnt always a gift, but it also can be a reminiscent and surprising moment.

After met them (Yonis, Alfons, Recca, Adrian, Evelyn, Jesicca, Andrew, Lindy, and Linsy) we walked together...
i look that the place was so fancy and interesting....
you won't meet any blank white wall there... it must be something made or done with the wall..
They play with art, sculpture, acrylics, and paints...


it made from bottles


in front of the "Dream" wall


Our main purpose gather there is to see each other and tried the ATMOSFEAR!!

I believe most of you already know what is that...

closer look


But before we tried it we have to buy something at there with minimum purchase Rp 1,-
than we have to change the receipt at the counter..... But! we have to queue in long line...
luckily i didn't have to get through that, because my friend had done it before i've arrived.. hahahahaha... Thanks to all of you ma friends!!


We change the receipt with a chance.. guessing eight cards to get the atmosfear ticket...
Mmmmm.. i wonder that some of the smart kids will guess it in a glance... hahahaha..

(some people understand why those kids can lah..... ^ ^)

After we got 10 tickets... we have to go to the 7th floor to slide....
then....... we have to queue again in a looooooooonggggg line..... before we wait for a long time...

Alfons told us that the person who are on duty at it, will have a break in 15 min. and the slider will be open in one hour a head...

So we decided to have a lunch first at Green pepper... its kinda foodcourt there.
Most of us eat chicken noodles with mushroom and meat balls..
after eat we went back to the 7 th floor... and we find that the queue is longer than before...
hahahaha....


a long long way to go...


We wait there for more than an hour.... we do chit chat, jokes, visualization to jessica and evelyn
^ ^ and chewing a gum to kill the time...


Honestly i was so scared when we got our turn to go.... so nervous... aaaarrghhh!! , but i changed my mindset quickly... i talked to my mind that it just a common slider... it save... its gonna be so fun...

Then we went to the area where we have to use a helmet, and other guard thing...
at the mouth of it we have to get into a kind of palstic sack then we pushed and......

whoooozzzz...... we slide so fast untill my helmet wanna rid off...

Finally i've beat Atmosfear!!

Then we got back to the 7th floor to get our belongings, take photographs in front of the 1001 board on the first floor.


fearless board


Tired of waiting and playing we got into Starbuck to have a cup of coffe and frape.... Then one by one went back home... first Andrew, then Adrian, Jessica and Evelyn, Younish, Lindy and Linsy, then Alfons, Recca and i...

Friendship

Hi friends,

Today i have my leadership class in the morning, we have to presentate a topic that is called plagiarism. After we do our presentation, there is a guy ask my opinion
"what if your friend suspect you stealing his/her idea, how we handle it"

Actually this question remind me to something that had happend in the past. When there is a friend of mine (but i can't tell her name lah..) suspect me stealing her idea.
Actually i never steal her idea... we just make a same look of sth, but after that, i decided to change it and never ever use that design... (ever!). But that thing created misunderstanding situation and make a distance in our relationship.

I've tried so many times to explain this problem to her. But she never give me a chance to talk 'eye to eye'.
I never blame her because of that. I know that she also have her own big problem at that time, and i think, it wouldn't be so wise if i force her. So i let her go, learn from it, and go on with our own life.

Honestly, it was hard for me to let her go (for a couple of week) i feel rejected for so many times by her. So i decided to read a great book, that Peter gave to me.

" The Joys and Pain of Growing up" by Peter lau
(my beloved STHC Trainer)

that book give me streght and light my day. It says that rejection is a part of our life, everbody will experience it. But the important things is how deal and handle it. Peter says in his book that
"If you reject yourself, you want be able to believe in yourself and that will stunt your progress in life"

That word really empowering me to get out from my that situation, and unconfident.
It also makes me looks more clearly about what a word,
its better to become a wise friend rather than a 'good' friend.

A 'good' friend might talk a good things in front,but bad things behind. Then leave you. But

A wise friend will tell you the truth (even it might be painful), help you to get out from your problem and growth together.

So, answering the previous question (on the top of the page)
First thing first.
1. Listen! why your friend suspect you. After she/he finish...
2. Then explain the truth about the problem, say sorry if you're wrong.
3. Tell your friend how you feel about it.
4. Ask your friend his/her expectation for the future, then tell yours...
5. Say sorry and forgive each other lah...

Hope this blog help you guys... ^ ^

Warmly regards,
-ed-


The Highlight:
- Be A wise friend is much better than A 'Good' friend.
- Never be afraid to admit your mistake and do apologize,say "sorry"
- Sometimes, Honesty might be painful, but it will rid out your problem and brings you happiness.
- Peter's book is one of the best book for you to read! recommended! =)
