Shopping Malls

Guess the number of chic items in the stores that are screaming out `Buy me, buy me'. How many people can really ignore the voices in their heads and move on. Or do they only do so when their wallets protest that it is time to move on. The temptation is too great to resist at times. We may end up buying things that we do not require or the things are all becoming `white elephants'.

Given the availability of plastic money, more often than not, people get into the vicious cycle of succumbing to their wants instead of needs. Indeed going by the number of malls and stores that are springing up, shopping is definitely a favourite pastime in Malaysia. There is no doubt that things must be bought at some point of time, however, it is the where, when and how we go about it that can make all the difference to our cashflow.

Should we therefore `shop till we drop .... but in this day and age, who doesn't?

Just jokes

A Singh died and went to heaven.
When he got to the pearly gate, Saint Peter told him that new rules were in effect due to the advances in education on earth. In order to gain admittance as a prospective heavenly soul, he must answer two questions:
1. Name two days of the week that begin with `T'
2. How many second are in a year?
The Singh thought for a few minutes and answered.....
1 The two days of the week that begin with `T' are Today and Tomorrow
2. There are 12 seconds in a year.
Saint Peter said, `OK, I'll buy the Today and Tomorrow answer, even though it's not the answer I expected. But how did you get 12 seconds in a year?'
The Singh replied, `Well January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd etc....'
Saint Peter let him in without another word.

Sardar Gurbachan Singh is appearing for his University final examination. He takes his seat in the examination hall, stares at the question paper for five minutes, and then in a fit of inspiration takes his shoes off and throws them out of the window. He then removes his turban and throws it away as well. His shirt, pant, socks and watch all followed suit.
The invigilator, alarmed, approaches him and asks what is going on.
`Oye, I am only following the instructions here'! It says here `Answer the following questions in brief'.

A Singh goes to a hotel and eats heartily. After eating he goes to wash hands but starts washing the basin instead.
The manager comes running and asks him, `Mr Singh, what are doing?'
To this the man replies , `Oye, see the board here says: `Wash Basin'.

Something for sharing.
