wah.. this one tricky. yes, each friend paid $9, 3x$9=$27 = $25 + $2; $25 for clerk, $2 for bellhop. The other way round is misleading liao.

>Can you figure this out ...... ??

>Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance.
>So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room.

>A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5.
>He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in.

>The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day!

>Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????

Feng Shui and Singapore


Why would Singapore go around planting trees?

After all, maintaining a Garden City is very expensive.

Well, here's the answer --

If you were to look at Singapore from the top, Singapore resembles a crab, with its mouth the Singapore river and its back facing Malaysia.

We all know that cooked crab (that means dead crab) is red, the colour of barren ground.
But a live crab is basically a dark shade of green.

So, by planting trees, you make Singapore look green and not red, and therefore alive.


TWO PROMINENT DISTRICTS

Lee Kuan Yew runs Tanjung Pagar while Goh Chok Tong is in Marine Parade.
If you look at Singapore as a crab again, these two locations are situated at the positions where the claws of a crab will be.

We know the strongest parts of a crab are its claws, so there they are.

HOW SINGAPORE WAS CONQUERED

To kill a crab, you stick the chopstick at the side of the crab...which is exactly where the Japanese attacked and conquered Singapore.


KALLANG RIVER CLEAN-UP

Why clean up a river that spells different memories for many Singaporeans and was one of the reasons for our prosperity in the early years?

During the 80's recession, we had just completed the Benjamin Sheares Bridge... which happens to suspend over the Singapore river, the mouth of the crab. This is as good as tying the mouth of the crab, thus choking it which explains the recession. In order to get out of it, one way was to clean up the river so that the mouth is clean and wealth can flow in without obstruction. Sounds unbelievable? But it seems logical, doesn't it?

Ken, may I recommend you spend some time studying feng shui, and then moonlight on this trade.

It is very lucrative. A friend set up a factory in Vietnam, and last year paid a feng shui master S$50,000.00 to go there to perform the ground breaking ceremony.

Many potential property buyers also paid feng shui masters about one to a few thousand $ to make the final decision for them - to buy or not to buy. Their parents don’t get this honour, man.

As a feng shui master, you are very influential too. You say GOOD, nobody dares to say BAD, and vice versa. You say ONE, nobody dares to say TWO. Which parents have so much influence over their children?

[kennynah]

thank you for the suggestion cherry... but i give this a pass....

i think most fengshui masters must be multi-millionaires..and they continue their trade out of charity to society... in this case, i like to believe others need such help more than me...

tea time, for me, 1 kopi-o gao siew dai, a toast bread with gu yew is more than enough for me...simple life.. no need all this wayang about iron tree, fire stove not facing toilet, door facing lucky sector, etc....

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak

CEO Lee n his CFO Wong held a long drawn meeting in their cabinet sized room, discussing the latest bikini fashion wear. They were deciding how best to utilize as little fabric as possible to showcase this fall's swimwear. It must stay focused on their company's theme of environmentally friendliness, complimenting their brand-name, Use-Less Gahmen Pte Ltd.

After some grueling 8 hours of yakking non- stop, they called it a day...

(to be continued)

[kennynah]

(continuation...)

Both Lee n Wong left for happy hour... After a few vodkas in a sleazy bar, they felt the urge to visit their favorite brothel.. Especially so for Lee, given that on many occasions, his wife was mistakenly shooed out of the ladies..

Being a Friday night before YOG, business was exceptionally good at the prostitude den, so much so, there was only one ang bai ready to work, the wait time for the others was at least 1 hour.

But who between Lee n Wong should go first?

Your guess?

[millionairemind]

I guess Mr. Wong

[kennynah]

MM ....wahahahaha.....

you are definitely correct..... curry pup hair Wong goes first.... it's his birth right....his given name will ensure he goes first...

not to mention....when the OKT asked who is to be the first customer... in his excitement and kiasoo, Lee shouts out his own name....effectively ordering Wong to go first....
