Mr. Super Chong
Could this be a fengshui name?
From a poster for a ballroom dancing performance. This couple was the special guest performance. Must be a super-duper dancer... this Chong guy.
Most overused conversation fillers
1. Apparently (so I'm an idiot and cannot see what is apparent?)
2. Actually (now i you're telling me the truth)
3. Honestly (so you've been cushioning me from reality)
4. Frankly speaking... (you mean you have been lying to me up till now?)
5. Don't mind me saying but... (what if I mind?)
6. I so... (so you is an American?)
Can you think of any others?

SEX always goes long and far...
Quick! What are the three classics of advertising?
Here's a hint, based on what this company from Hong Kong has done on their re-positioning:
Sorry, mature audiences, you've been detoxed from Long Far Health Products.
And... the three classics of advertising, which are fail-safe, at least in getting attention are (in no particular order):
(1) Sex
(2) Babies
(3) Cute Pets
Not even a celebrity can outshine these in a TVC or print ad, unless the celebrity is classified under one of the 3 categories.
Merry XXXLMAS!
Together now!

Misheard or Misunderstood?
Overheard in the office...
"Ya! But once I do already, you cannot find my S-O!"
Hint: You have to read the above quote out loud.
Translation:
"Once I make the entry, you would not be able to find the same sales order (S-O)"

Deconstructive Criticism
Overheard at IKEA...
Woman A: Want to try?
Woman B: It's not cooked right?
Woman A: It's cooked wan. It's smoked salmon.
Woman B: OK. Let me try a bit.
Woman A (puts salmon to nose): Smells like fish! (eats salmon) Aiyoh! So salty. You better be careful. So salty can get sick wan you know.
Woman B: Your meatballs also very unhealthy what. A lot of fat you know.
Woman A: But salt worse. Can get high blood pressure.
Woman B: Aiyah... never always eat so it's OK.
Woman A: I also never always eat here. My husband lah. His favourite!
Woman B: My husband also! I scold him. He eat so many unhealthy things...
And so it became a husband-bashing session...

Stocking Stuffers - totally redefined
I was shopping on Amazon.com for an interesting DVD as a Christmas present.
Following Amazon.com's recommendations led to unexpected stocking stuffers:
Deliberate Orgasm Duet: Expanding Female Orgasm plus The Technique of Peaking and Extended Orgasm
You gotta love the puns from these ecstatic reviews (and their pedagogical outlook):
Reviewer: Don-11 "Don-11" (California, United States): ...I am thrilled to see it now on DVD
...The instructors describe in details what they are doing and feeling throughout the demonstration, answering very good questions from the audience
... The woman is beautiful in it. Not only is her [...] beautiful (sic) but the lesson she and the man are trying to teach us is what makes this tape so marvelous. Her whole body radiates at each stroke of her clitoris. (ever heard of faking, Don?) Her anus is so beautiful as it contracts and her labia engorge more and more as he is DOing her. (this is too technical for me)
...I tried to do as the tape instructs and concentrate on her orgasm and feel it in my own body...Haven't we all wanted and tried to make our orgasms rise to this plateau and stay there floating on a billowy white cloud of pleasure for as long as we wanted without going over the edge? (ooo... waxing lyrical. so poetic!)
Reviewer: Robert L: ...Lying in bed, knowing what is going to happen with lots of digital stimulation, gets me erect, almost throbbing.
Reviewer: Rebecca (New York City): ...gives you the fundamentals of sensuality and is chock full of information of what this Deliberate Orgasm is all about and how to do it.
There are even frame grabs from the DVD:
I want tomorrow now!
Client to Copywriter: "When can I see the draft of the event report for the newsletter?"
Copywriter: "End of next Monday?"
Client: "No. I want it today. I need to show it to my boss to get his approval."
Copywriter: "Er... but the event's this Friday. So I can't interview guests for their comments and do a report of the event until the event happens right?"
Client: "I don't care. I want the draft by the end of today. This the way we always work. Other agencies have done this for us before. So why can't you?!"

Mounting Room
My friend told me, "The previous agency I worked for had a big room reserved for mounting the artwork on boards.
One Saturday afternoon, someone came back to the office and walked into this room. He saw an account manager doing it with the receptionist on this large table in the room. After that, everyone wondered if it was the spray mount that made the table sticky.
Anyway, this guy was questioned by management as a witness to the event.
"What did you see them doing in the mounting room!"
"Honestly sir. They were just... mounting."

ante meridiem vs post meridiem
Last week, I called the hospital to make an appointment with my specialist.
I was given a Tuesday, 12.10 p.m. slot.
"Can I have a morning appointment instead?"
"Doctor only sees on Tuesday and Thursday."
"So can I have the next available date but a morning timing please?"
"Let me check... OK. Thursday. 11.55 A-M!"
"Never mind. I'll stick to Tuesday 12.10 P-M"

8 steps to becoming an inspirational being
I landed by accident (don't ask!) at the National Achievers' Congress (ha!) recently and had my second first hand experience with American Evangelism. Raise your hands! Who wants to make more money without working harder? Who wants to have a happier life? And in the words of Dr. Barbara De Angelis, "Who wants to have sex 365 days of the year?" Can't quite believe that people pay hundreds of dollars to listen to them. And that more people will shell out thousands of dollars to spend four days with Anthony Robbins just to bask in his aura and be inspired. Might as well call him Maharashi Tony Robbins and glorify him with a statue!
Anyway, those people standing up there as "trainers" are supposedly "living" examples of success and they were there to make themselves (and by the way, you) more successful by telling you how. Here're my 8 attributes for being a successful crap-talk con artiste:
(1) Rattle off statistics liberally to add credibility. For example, "Did you know that 80 per cent of the top US CEOs interviewed said that they hate eating vegetables but do so to maintain their aura?"
(2) Always mention "Paradigm Shift" no matter which aspect of life you are talking about. Read about the original thinking from the original philosopher here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Kuhn
(3) Indulge in superlatives... ad nauseum.
(4) Tug heartstrings with a sob story. Don't forget to mention your rags to riches to story.
(5) Compose rhythmic, mnemonic aphorisms and ask the audience to stand up and repeat them with you. For example, "I want to possess my own success!" Literal meaning is not important.
(6) Prey on basic human fears like loneliness, poverty, social alienation and subtly hint that the audience are losers with a glimmer of hope of being saved by you - the trainer.
(7) Get audience to sit quietly and stretch the time with 'creative visualization'. Everyone SHOULD feel better after that. If not, they are beyond redemption and should sign up for private class. ka-ching!
(8) Male speakers, strut loads of macho charisma to enlarge presence and exude confidence. Women speakers can show sensitive, caring side to play the Mother figure of authority.

What makes the world oscillate
A friend of mine has a sister who is a nurse. One day, she was switching on the standing fan in her sitting room when her nurse-sister shouted from across the room, "Or-see-late! Or-see-late!"
My friend went, "What?!"
Sister shouted, "OR-SEE-LATE!"
Friend went, "Huh?!!"
Sister went, "OR-SEE-LATE! Make the fan turn lah!"
Turns out that nurse-sister is used to seeing the word "Oscillate" on the switches of fans in the hospitals.

Pained Sour Face
Oops! I've seen it again. That face. That kind of face.
Recently, I sold my old SLR camera to a shop that collects these for resale. Of course I know it's only pure business sense for the owner to buy my camera at as low a price as I can bear so that they can resell it for a much higher profit. Then... deja vu, could it be the face that I once knew?
It never fails to to amuse me – that pained sour face in the owner – looking like a suffering soul, appealing to my sentiments in the hope that I would sell my goods at her price! If I give in, I get a faint smile, followed by the same pained look and a very grateful look.
But if I don't, I can expect that indignant look that says, "See if you can get it at a better price else!?"
The bargaining continues and I realise I've taken that pained sour face myself!

Just because I am legally married does not mean I am actually married
"So you ROM oradi?"
READ: "Have you registered your marriage at the Registry of Marriages [ROM]?
"Ya. 3 months oradi."
"So when you getting married?"
"Having my customary probably next year. Also must see when my flat come lor..."
"Oh, but you take wedding photo all oradi?"
"Ya. Take oradi. Now can eat again."
Yet another session of small talk at the office pantry. Perceived or not, there IS a difference between being married in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of all your family, relatives, ancestors, Gods and spirits.
What's your Christian name?
I was waiting for the train when I heard...
"So... what's your Christian name?"
"Christian."
"Ya? So what is it?"
"Christian lah!"
"I know Christian. So what is it!"
"Christian lah!"
"Hello! Got problem is it? What's your Christian name?!"
"Christian! Christian is my Christian name!"
"Oh! So funny one."
"You then funny yourself."
CUE: Silence, all around the train flatform.

What animal are you?
Overheard on the bus...
"So what animal are you?"
"I'm a pig."
"Oh! I heard this year not very good for pigs so you must go and pray. Lucky I am snake."
Those uninitiated in the art of pithy Singaporean small talk may be insulted when asked such a question. But this being Singapore, slash Asia, this being the week before the Chinese New Year, most Singaporean-ized eavesdroppers would have been able to follow that the discussion was on Chinese astrology. It's the time of the year when Chinese are interested in knowing what the year holds for them in realtion to their animal signs (or Chinese Zodiac signs, to put it within a Western context).
Year 2001 has been determined as the year of the snake, the golden snake or the yin metal snake to be precise. For more on the Chinese Astrology system, visit this web site.
