Check out my blog:

This is not humor, per se. However, it is full of sarcasm and some dry humor. I probably need to edit them, but I meant it to be an informal site anyway. _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover. Hee. |

Hi, You may be interested that some of Bible parts were retranslated by Jan ( I have found some mistakes in previous translation ).
The story about Jesus Christ and his Apostles:
Jesus and his Apostles were traveling by boat then the rapid storm appeared on the lake , they were far away from shore and Saint Peter suddenly realized that their boat is to weak to stand against waves and they probably would die Saint Peter said : My Lord we would sink... Jesus : so weak is Your faith Peter ? Peter : but my Lord our boat is full of water and we are taking more... we may sink. Jesus : follow me and he has jumped over on surface and very cautiously has started to walk towards the beach. Happy Apostles have jumped after him but all of them have started to sink on the spot. Peter : My Lord we are sinking we are sinners our faith is to weak. Jesus : Use the dolphins idiot ... You can't just walk on water !!!
Well the old Greek is very hard to translate I could do some mistakes My apologizes Your Faithful Jan |

Hello everyone,
Here is something from my personal experience.
For Chemistry lesson in high school all lectures were conducted in the lab and we sat at a big square table that accommodates 6 students. And on one very hot afternoon, I was very sleepy and I hate sleeping in the class so I made small pieces of paper and wrote down 3 characters: 3 victims, a robber and a police. This was a game we played back then when we were bored. So every one of us picked the small papers and I got the police part. Then, every victim will say out loud (not very loud because the teacher will hear) their part and as a police I have to be quick to catch the robber by hitting him/her. This may sounds boring but it was fun to play. The anticipation of guessing the robber, I guess.
Anyway, I was so into it and I hit my friend with my cloth pencil case by throwing it to him, without realizing that my teacher was observing my behavior and suddenly I heard my teacher yelling, “Aslina! Datang depan!”(Aslina, come to the front!)
“Oh my..”, was all I said.
So I went to the front of the class and after a minute or so of scolding and disciplining, I was sent to stand out of the class the whole period.The whole period!(She didn't know all of us were playing a game and I didn’t dare rat on my friends.) I was very, very, very, embarrassed. Only God knew how much.
Anyway, the teacher said something that I feel like laughing when I reminisce this and sort of proud of.
She said,“Class, the OUTstanding student.” |

Malays do not have last name, that's my real, as in official name. My mom wanted to name me Nina (after an actress I think ) but my father preferred Arabic name, so that's the official one but family and friends call me Nina. |

I see. To tell the truth, I thought Nina was your real name. I have quite a few Ninas friends. But Aslina is really a very beautiful name!!! |

Here's another riddle for you (hope it's not too easy):
'Mine was the strangest birth under the sun; I left the womb, yet life had not begun; Entered the world, and yet was seen by none.' |

Conchita, thanks for a riddle - the more tough like that - the better  i'm sure i'm wrong, but anyway, there was a movie from BBC about certain insects who appear each 17 years: their "larvae" fall from the trees on the earth (left the womb...), and they are born underground afterwards (seen by none) _________________ my game is fair play |

Nina,
Blue is my favorite color (not that shade of blue, but I wouldn't go with a royal-blue background).
What word in "The Plight of Ketchup" did you not get?

Conchita
The answer to your riddle is this:
