got this forwarded email.. kinda funny... read on...
After years of frustration, the Smiths had no children and decided to use a proxy father to start their family.
On the day the proxy fatherwas to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon".
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.
"Good morning madam. You don't know me, but I've come to...", said the man.
"Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you", Mrs. Smith cut in.
"Really?", the photographer asked.
"Well, good! I've made a specialty of babies", he said.
"That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat. Just where do we start?!?", asked Mrs. Smith, blushing.
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too, you can really spread out", explained the photographer.
"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work for Harry and me", Mrs. Smith said.
"Well, madam, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results", explained the photographer again.
"I hope we can get this over with quickly," gasped Mrs. Smith.
"Madam, in my line of work, a man must take his time. I'd love to be in and out in five minutes, but you'd be disappointed with that, I'm sure", the man said.
"Of course, I know it!!", Mrs. Smith exclaimed.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures.
"This was done on the top of a bus in downtown London", the man clarified.
"Oh my god!!", Mrs. Smith exclaimed, tugging at her handkerchief.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with", he said.
The photographer handed Mrs.Smith the picture.
"She was difficult?", asked Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to Hyde Park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep, pushing to get a good look", the photographer answered.
"Four and five deep?", asked Mrs. Smith, eyes widened in amazement.
"Yes, and for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling. I could hardly concentrate.Then darkness approached and I began to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just packed it all in", he said
Mrs. Smith leaned forward.
"You mean they actually chewed on your, errr... equipment?", asked Mrs. Smith.
"That's right. Well madam, if you're ready, I'll set up my tripod sothat we can get to work", the man said.
"Tripod??", Mrs. Smith looked extremely worried now.
"Oh yes, I have to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big for me to hold while I'm getting ready for action", answered the photographer.
Mrs. Smith fainted!!...

treasure/amazing hunt...
must say am addicted to treasure hunt now!...
this addiction started when i joined the treasure hunt organised by rackl under the community service avenue... not to say i never join any hunt/s before... but this one really put me right on there!...
brief write up wat happened 2 sundays ago in the hunt...
started the day very very early infact... got up at about 0600 hoursish... a bit late, i thought..... thank God i packed everything that's necessay a nite before... so need not to do those last minute stuffs early in the morning... went to fetch bie, then headed to bangsar straight after that... all our team members, 4 of us... arrived on time... breakfast... then registration.. then speechess... then briefing by the hunt committee... then countdown to the hunt... and voila... hunt begin!... very confident start for us indeed... slow and steady... headed straight to telawi area... finished up the tasks there....... then went to do our detour task/s in bangsar village..... and hunted for stuffs again inside bangsar village...
halfway thru the hunt am all worn out... at times during the hunt, got quite irritated simply because i can't figure out some questions and wat in the world the treasures was... at one time... started calling my cousin and all last minute... gave some ideas/tips to it... and somehow or another we managed to get some 'nearly correct' stuffs we wanted minutes before we submitted our answers... all rushed up to submit the answers after that... line was kinda long.... and, we managed to submit all our answers with 4 minutes penalty... freaking watch of mine indicated that we were 10 minutesish early!!... arghhhhhhhhhh... headed to the mamak opposite bangsar village to chill ourselves up while waiting for the results...
results time!... 4 'speacial awards' given to 4 different teams... most unique name, most gungho team, most cakar ayam team and the neatess submission team... then after that, the 'real results'... fm 5th place to 4th place... 3rd place to 1st place they called all the three teams out... quite the suspend!... :) ...
finally... the 'we are not telling you' team... which is our team... managed to score 43 points, i think.. and that got us the 3rd place!!!... owhh ya, we managed to get the neatess submission award too!!!... woohooooo...
headed for a good lunch after that with some others... all in all... an excellent hunt!!...

pope john paul 2...
he came, he led, he taught and he left...
it's about 8 days now... he passed away 2 sundays ago after a long illness or should i say old age... nutin much to say about this man, as am sure most of you already know about him... he trully picked up the cross and followed Him.... follow his stories very closely via the newspaper, net, etc...
somebody asked me... honestly do i think he was a good good pope?!?.... i would say yes, simply because as far as i know... he is the only pope who got himself involve, not only spiritual matters.... but also, 'polictics', etc... he opened the eyes of the world wat a catholic can do...
believe he is resting up there with Him now.... and we shall see who will be the next pope and wat can he do...
accdg to one of the many sayings in www.cnn.com...
An influential pontiff.
Voicing a strong moral vision, Pope John Paul II forged a legacy as one of the Catholic Church's most influential and controversial leaders. The 264th pontiff traveled more and beatified more people than any pope in history, and supporters and critics alike agree on the immense significance of his 26-year papacy.
for more of him... esp his biography, pix, etc.... pls go to... http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2005/pope/index.html... and... http://popejohnpaul.com/...

house... sold...
after months of delays and stuffs... we finally got a buyer to buy our ampang buyer... now doing those legal stuffs and all... sold it for rm 255,000.00... quite a good price lah... not too high... not too low...
didn't realise a broker is so 'important'... think, after less than 2 days we told him to look for a buyer... he managed to get one within that period of time.... the funny thing is... the soon-to-be owner of my ampang house is the owner of the supermarket/mini market opposite my house... well, we dunno about that until we saw him coming to our house... anyway, anyhow, we still need to pay the broker fees tho which we can 'save', if we know the soon-to-be owner of my ampang house is looking for a house around my housing vicinity!...
talking about the word shifting alone actually gives my those creepy kinda feelings... havoc!... messy!... dusty!... painting!... packing!... removing!... transporting!... cleaning!... changing of address!... arghhhhhhh... but then again, really looking forward to my new house in old klang road then... at the extreme least... my journey here and there will be shorten by at least 30%-50%!... thank God!... :) ...
