Increased Security Patrols and Devices

A father and mother were walking with a son in a park. And the conversation was something like this:

Father: If you don't stop saying dirty words, we are going to go home right now.
Son: I didn't say any bad words.
Father: Yes you did, don't lying.
Son: I didn't say any bad words!
(Policeman suddenly appears on their left and just happens to catch a biker. As below.)


Father: 你看!! 那個叔叔一說髒話就被警察抓到了! 你在不閉嘴小心他等一下也來抓你! (See! That guy just got arrested for saying dirty words! Stop saying dirty words before he comes to catch you!)
Son: ( :S )

Hahaha!... so coincidental.

Nevertheless, check out this photo:

Can you see anything wrong with this photo?

OK OK it's the writing! (Yes we have it, once again)



Hahaha, this makes no sense!

I doubt that there would be devices that detect operating hand-held cameras. Therefore the 'detection devices' would most probably be security cameras...and "increased security patrols"?? Now we have more guys going into the toilet to 'check' stuff and more security cameras inside the women's toilets to enhance privacy!

Man if i was the Woman, i would read the sign, think for 2 seconds, look around, (stroke my chin hairs) and take a right!!

(btw, i have only seen this in one MRT station out of quite a few that i have been to.)

Too Cool for the 課輔 (Ke Fu - Tuition)?

There was a lack of a teacher for one of the English tuition classes at the Church, so i volunteered to be the teacher for one class. I heard that it the kids were tough to handle, because they look something like this:

Students staring into space itself - pretty and cool boys

Looks too cool for 課輔 (tuition)? Pretty much yes, but check this out (!!):

Student shows off his English name in class. Probably the most peaceful name ever to be named.

Other kids had English names such as: Kaol, Window, Sommonade, Bocken, Mibiopoulis, Kube, and Soking. **

They all have their good and cute side, and they are all boys too.

Couldn't be anymore tuition-brochure-picture-standard than this

**Hahaha i wish, but at the end of class most of them preferred more normal names like James and Michael. Though, Garden is still Garden.

Good and Loyal Restaurant Guard Dog

There was a guard dog sitting outside a barbeque restaurant.
And she was doing these sorts of things to the customers going in and out of the door (hahaha):





These weren't play bites, as i initially thought. They were real bites, but medium soft real bites - the type of bites retrievers use to hold onto ducks (and keep them alive) when they go duck hunting with owners.

Customers who come from the street to the restaurant door to pat the dog "oooh good dog, nice dog" later find that it probably wasn't a good idea. Because they "AHHCH!" get clamped pretty hard, and she doesn't let go!

So, a loyal dog. And it was a very nice feeling!

Good dog, right?

Very Nice Names - on the Name Tags Board

Have found some interesting names on the Church name tags board (where name tags are stuck). Beware non-Chinese-English speakers, you will not be able to understand this post.

First up:

Names given based on surname! In Taiwan "蔡" means "shoddy"! "黃金進" is a good fix for a financial crisis (for the parents).

"雲招" sounds like a tai-chi move, while the pink names all sound very adventurous and explosive.

My favourite for last:

"武心甜". I discussed this name with 陳 Grandpa Chen. And he did not doubt that it means: 很會打架, 而且心又很甜 (skillful at fighting, and has a heart that is very sweet)

How very nice.

Bizarre Selling Fun

Being away from home, i had to find some way of making some extra spending cash. So i decided to sell rings and accessories online! For girls, but they look pretty any hows.

The price for these rings and accessories range from $15.00 - $39.00.

Observe this email from one customer, after i said that i would send the item as soon as possible:

For a wedding!? How funny! Though i couldn't think ill of his character because i don't know very much about him (just his address, phone number and email).

But check out this feedback:

Snippet of feedback on Oztion

This made me laugh out loud! For several reasons:
1) the stuff i was selling was bad quality!! and i did not know that, because i had never seen the items.
2) Abe's always told me that i was a "seller of crap and useless stuff". So he was right.
3) the buyer still left me a positive rating
4) the buyer bought another item and was VERY HAPPY with it, hohoho.

No more selling for me. The profits are not worth the time, nor the customer complaints.

Nature Seekers 2009

One day i took a visit to National Cheng Chi University of Taiwan, and took a look inside the library.

Which is where i found this:

It's the NCCU Nature Seeker Club section. It has nice picture decorations and hangings of nature.

But looking with bigger detail (!!), the nature they are "seeking" all belong to and are all inside the university. Students picking flowers, and note in particular bottom left picture - some 同學s looking at some on-campus trees of nature, ha-ha-ha --

Btw, Taiwanese boys' mannequin legs are very skinny. I can tell because the pants they wear are tight! Taiwanese boys' legs are also quite skinny, and would make the Aussie girls back home, very jealous. It also makes it harder for me to buy clothes, that fit, good.

Fully Hair Salon

On certain main streets, there only exists the following stores (and nothing else): 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, English schools, Watsons (personal care store), hair salons, hair salons and hair salons. And multiples upon multiples of all of these. Therefore here, the most important things in life are fast foods and drinks, personal care, English and hair.

Speaking of which, there is something with Taiwanese hair salons and bad English.

"Fully" = 富麗! Not a grammar problem.

Haha - think of "scalp rituals" for one imagery, then imagine what "instant ritual" would be like!

There's a popular hair salon called: 亂剪 translated into "crazy/random cuts", which is quite cool, because cool people like to "wing" stuff and still look pretty cool. Like not study and still be all good, not patch their pants and still be all good, type.

Check out these staff names. There's Cora, Kiki, Mango, which are OK sounding. Then there's Wing... and Uni, Weico and BETA...hahaha.

P.S. a yakult here costs NTD $8 each (roughly AUD $0.29)!
