SOCIALISM:
You have 2 cows, and you give one to your neighbor.
COMMUNISM:
You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.
FASCISM:
You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.
NAZISM:
You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRATISM:
You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, then throws the milk away…
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM:
You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow has dropped dead.
A FRENCH CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called Cowkimon and market it worldwide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows, but you don’t know where they are. You decide to have lunch.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
A SWISS CORPORATION:
You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.

You have two cows. You worship them.
A BRITISH CORPORATION:
You have two cows. Both are mad.
IRAQI CORPORATION:
Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy….
SURREALISM:
You have two giraffes.
The government requires you to take harmonica lessons
HONG KONG CAPITALISM:
You have two cows. You sell 3 of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank.
Then you execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all 4 cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping 5 cows.
The milk rights of 6 cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder.
He sells the rights to all 7 cows’ milk back to the listed company, and proceeds from the sale are deferred. The annual report says that the company owns 8 cows, with an option on one more.
Meanwhile, you kill the 2 cows because the feng shui is bad.
NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION:
You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive.

Business seems pretty good.
You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.

The recital was amazing.. At least it impressed me more than the one on sat. That was dismal quality from a music conservatory cos I’ve seen sec sch bands WAY better as a collective.
Anyway about the recital.. the girl playing was a first year student and she was GOOD. Well, not perfect but I liked what she played because it felt musical and soothing. Technicaly good but not to the point it became robotic good. Her phrasing, breathing - all so effortless and spot on. Dynamics varied well through the piece too. Incidentally I already had a recording of it so i wasn’t listening to something I didn’t already have a benchmark tocompare with.
This all makes me want to practise more and go get a grade 8 but for the moment I shall concentrate on VHDL programming, Circuit design and my cs1102c lab6 due on thursday.
Lastly I shall post a verse which sort of lands itself into what programmers call an infinite loop.
James 1:21-23 (New King James Version)
Doers—Not Hearers Only
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

Thanks Cheryl and Charissa.

Studies are very demoralising. Now CS1102c turns out not to be the real menace this sem. Its all my other electrical engineering modules. I wonder if its because of all the effort or is it because its really my stronger area. Bought a $10 MG from some guy on the forums and he told me how not to expect much money from engineering and how indians and chinamen are cheaper and better than us at alot of stuff. The future looks so dim and bleak and I’m whipping myself so hard to get there. Ha.. some kinda lame joke of life this is.

Well, its a fresh new look! Hope you all like it. I thought the nice wavy background was really nice so I made a whole new theme for it. hehe.. Tell me what you think!
Anyway for those who live online, service schedule is now available online here.

Birthday today! Mine, yes mine.. Its really quiet this year la, esp after last year. Most enjoyable present so far is helicopter from david ong! heh.. Anyway thanks to all who did message me.
Went to outback to eat steak today with my parents. Maybe I should have gone to oscars at conrad.. Oh well, doesn’t matter that much i guess.. I’m going to rest soon, got a long day tomolo and its just going to be crazy.. Have to rush off halfway from lab to go drive. Sigh.. I shoud have studied abit more during my holidays but i was just tired and sick most of the time. A year older a year more.. only 17800 more mornings to wake up to i think. If i live another 50 years. I’m off to bed!
