First of all, a very good happy eid al-adha to all the Muslims back in Brunei Darussalam.
Translation:
Its as the thanks giving but we get sheep's for our meal instead of turkey in yours.
The one on left says: What do you think its gonna happen to us on this holiday?
The other answers: I hope we can get away and survive for gods sake.
And the big word down says Eid's paranoia.
Yesterday, I happen to pass by a chinese parade early in the morning in the town areas of mainland China. I have no clue what they were celebrating though, but I have to say it was very well choreographed.
Anyway, the Lame Duck has found a home for his presidential retirement

more interesting stuff..
On 7 December 2008, over 7,000 santas ran in Liverpool as part of the city's annual 5km (three-mile) Santa Dash for charity.
I dont know what happened to the rein deers but it was all for a good cause and good excercise for the jelly belly.
But the entrants failed to beat Los Angeles' world record for the largest number of Santas in a 5km run but still raised £130,000 for charity.
A new interview video hosted by Dan Levy aka 'Pieces Boy', with Chris Crocker, aka 'Leave Britney Alone Guy' ...or girl.

1."we're soulmates"
2."we're married, and i think at this time, i think theres some grandchildren that we've adopted."
3."i wanted to be the first guy (so now its a guy -_-") ever to do a crotch shot"
Have a great monday! :D

Bye Bye, OJ Simpson!
Only 13 years too late, O.J. Simpson will likely die in prison after he was sentenced to 9 to 33 years in prison yesterday for several convictions including but not limited to robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy, and kidnapping for his role in a robbery at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas last September.
I'm looking forward to this movie. Premiering on xmas. Its about a Rookie cop, Denny Colt who returns from the beyond as The Spirit, a hero whose mission is to fight against the bad forces in Central City.
and also this remake of the 1951 classic sci-fi film about an alien visitor and his giant robot counterpart who visit Earth. The day the earth stood still.
Hillary Clinton has accepted Barack Obama's offer to become secretary of state. According to Bill Clinton, this is the first time in 20 years that Hillary has said: 'Yes'."
If you watched MSNBC yesterday, you'd probably notice during the news, there was a pissed off vooice in the background, which was the producer. He got for the messed up switching camera's and starts ripping everyone there's a new one.
Miley Cyrus' New Video 'Fly Off The Wall', which premiered yesterday. But still, she cant beat Britney's Circus :)
The author's day lastnight.
HardRock cafe from 10:00-01:00
Vanilla ice cream and hwwwip cream topped brownie. *thumbs up
This drink is kinda pricy. Costs B$30 if you converted from Yuan to Brunei Dollars. But its worth it in HardRock Cafe. This drink is just a mixture of rasberry and orange, ice blended smootie.
Band Performance till 1:00am

Our favourite Britney Spears' new album 'Circus' is now out! :D
Britney Spears unleashed the video for the title track of her new album Circus on ET Thursday night, December 4, to the delight of her fans.
Britney may still be tentative with her live performances but when it comes to her videos she goes for the jugular. The Circus video is vintage Britney: raw and stirring. It would probably stir you even if you were comatose!
The release was originally scheduled for Friday, December 5, but was moved a day ahead following a leak over the internet.
An extended preview of the video was released earlier by ET.
Everyone's current favourite music video I believe ;)
Hillary Clinton's nomination to become President-elect Barack Obama's secretary of state may give her the edge she needs to finally retire her massive campaign debt.
Saturday humour :Dsubmitted to me by an anonymous women
RE:INSTALLING A HUSBAND
Dear Tech Support, Last year I upgraded fromBoyfriend 5.0toHusband 1.0and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly underBoyfriend 5.0. In addition,Husband 1.0uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0no longer runs, andHousecleaning 2.6simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do? Signed,
DEAR DESPERATE, First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter command:ithoughtyoulovedme.htmland try to downloadTears 6.2and do not forget to install theGuilt 3.0update. If that application works as designed, Husband1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. However, remember, overuse of the above application can causeHusband 1.0to default toGrumpy Silence 2.5,Happy Hour7.0orBeer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do,DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.) In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall theBoyfriend 5.0program. These are unsupported applications and will crashHusband 1.0. In summary,Husband 1.0is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend: Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7

The weather yesterday was really awful for me I'd say. I went out and stepped back in. Apparently the lowest temperature of the day was -11°C and the highest was -6°C. But then I managed to get out again. I felt like a body of a block of ice, especially my shoes, my face, most of all my ears. And the strong winds even made it much worster. Feels like those freeze sprays and the sounds of the winds were like the noises aeroplanes make when they pass by. I'm not sure about today's weather. I hope it's fine.
Well yesterday morning, which was still evening for the citizens of the United States. President-elect Barack Obama nominated Bill Richardson for commerce secretary.What also happened during this nomination is that the President-elect also put out some humour on Richardson's beard.
More cool stuff..
Teddy Bears Blast Off To Space :D
On Thursday, 4 December 2008, 4 teddy bears were blasted off to space by university boffins. These teddy bears were attached to a helium balloon and launched 30,000-metres into the atmosphere from Churchill College in Cambridge. They were fitted out with space suits designed by schoolchildren from the city as the toys braved freezing temperatures.
Two of the four teddies that were blasted to the edge of space
Friday Humour :D
Idiots At Work - Chronicles Of Workplace Stupidity PAAART 2!
JUST LET ME ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS FIRST
Businesses are only as good as the people they hire. We've all come across people in stores, on the phone or in offices and wondered to ourselves "How did they get hired?" Well, sometimes there's not a lot out there to choose from. A questionnaire was sent out to Vice Presidents and personnel directors of the one hundred largest corporations asking them to describe their most unusual experience interviewing prospective employees. Here are some of their responses:
* A job applicant challenged the interviewer to an arm wrestle.
* Interviewee wore a Walkman, explaining that she could listen to the interviewer and the music at the same time.
* Candidate announced she hadn't had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and French fries in the interviewers office.
* Candidate said he never finished high school because he was kidnapped and kept in a closet in Mexico.
* Applicant interrupted interview to phone her therapist for advice on how to answer specific interview questions.
RESUME OR RESUME NOT
In keeping with the "How did they get hired" question posed earlier, Fortune Magazine (July 21, 1997) put out an article which listed items from real resumes and cover letters. Here are some highlights:
* "I have lurnt Word Perfect 6.0 computor and spreasheet progroms. "
* "Wholly responsible for two (2) failed financial institutions."
* "It's best for employers that I not work with people."
* "Let's meet, so you can 'ooh' and 'aah' over my experience."
* "I have an excellent track record, although I am not a horse. "
* "My goal is to be a meteorologist. But since I possess no training in meteorology, I suppose I should try stock brokerage. "
* "The company made me a scapegoat, just like my three previous employers. "
* "References: none. I've left a path of destruction behind me. "
LET'S SEE WHAT DEVELOPS
A female employee of Eastman Kodak is suing the company under the Americans With Disabilities Act. The woman claims she suffers from "seasonal affective disorder," a form of depression, and wants Kodak to provide more light where she works - in a photographic darkroom.
QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS
We've all heard the expression "there's no such thing as a stupid question" right? Well, see for yourself. Here are some of the answers from a questionnaire sent out to a number of employers asking, "What's the strangest question they've been asked during an interview? "
Among the responses were:
* "What is it that you people do at this company?"
* "Why aren't you in a more interesting business?"
* "Will the company move my rock collection from California to Maryland? "
* "Does your company have a policy regarding concealed weapons?"
I found a really cool movie which is comin up soon. well actually it might take up to six months. I think its a kinda super hero movie.
WATCHMEN

Anyone remember the happy faces seen on the skies last Monday? Venus and Jupiter, two of the brightest naked-eye planets, join a thin crescent moon to create a brief "happy face" in the sky as seen in Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi Province, December 1 2008. Astronomers and star gazers across the world are keeping watch for the rare astronomical phenomenon known as "Planetary Conjunction" which attracted many locals and tourists to come to the scene.
Thursday Humour :D
Idiots At Work - Chronicles Of Workplace Stupidity
A WEIGHTY SUBJECT
A woman called a travel agent and asked, "Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to who?" The agent replied, "No, why do you ask?" The timid sounding woman said, "Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said FAT, and I'm overweight, is there any connection?" After putting her on hold for a minute while the agent regained her composure she explained to the woman that the city code for Fresno is FAT, and that the airline was just putting a destination tag on her luggage. Makes you wonder if the woman saw the word “terminal” on her luggage if she would have thought she was really sick.
A REAL TRAVEL ADVENTURE
A rather confused woman called to make reservations; "I want to go from Chicago to Hippopotamus, New York." Needless to say, the agent was rather confused by the request. "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, I’m sure," said the client. "What flights to you have?" The agent got on the computer and tried every airport code in the country but couldn't come up with a city named Hippopotamus. She finally got back on the phone and told the person on the other end that she had had no luck locating a city with that name. "Oh, don't be silly. Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" The agent scoured the map of New York state looking for any city that might vaguely sound or look like Hippopotamus. Finally, and as a last ditch effort; asked the woman, "You don’t, by any chance mean Buffalo, do you?" "Oh, right, that's it. I knew it was a big animal."
YOUR BRAIN - DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT
A woman had just purchased several items she needed from a department store and was handed the credit card receipt to sign. The cashier noticed that the back of the woman’s credit card wasn't signed and told her she couldn't complete the transaction without a signed card. The woman was slightly confused by this request but complied and signed the back of the card immediately after signing the receipt. The cashier took both the receipt and the card, held them up, and compared the signature. Surprisingly they matched.
THAT'S JUST GOOFY!
The management of Walt Disney World, after two months of negotiation, finally relented and no longer makes the costume character actors share their underwear. Before the final settlement the actors were only allowed to wear Disney provided underwear that were laundered and passed out randomly. The actor complained to management that the underwear was often not clean, smelled bad, had stains and "things have been passed around." Actors will now be allowed to have personal underwear, that Disney will issue, and the employees can take home and launder themselves. Of course this won't affect the character of Donald Duck because, as we know, he doesn’t wear any pants.
WORKING YOUR WAY UP FROM THE BOTTOM
A "Whistleblower" is someone who discovers and then reports illegal or unscrupulous activity in the workplace. One vigilant British worker, who obviously had some spare time on his hands or intestinal problems, measured several rolls of toilet paper and found they only had 200 sheets as opposed to the 320 sheets stated in the contract with the supplier. His employer, West Somerset District Council, demanded the vendor wipe the slate clean and was awarded $28,100. The employer's compensation for saving the company nearly $30,000? He was given a few days off. So if the company is ever "rolled" you can be sure who did it.
CRAZY HIRING PRACTICES
Disgruntled postal workers turning violent has become so commonplace even the worst stand-up comedians use it in their act. But the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission created the ultimate "punch" line in hiring practices. An article in the Employee Relations Law Journal explains, "Many individuals who become violent toward customers or coworkers suffer from some form of mental disorder. Yet for an employer to be too careful in screening potentially dangerous persons out of the work force is to invite liability for discrimination under the ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act), while to be not careful enough is to invite tragedy and horrendous liability for negligent hire or negligent retention." Damned if you do - damned if you don't - and damned if it isn't just going to get worse.
For you art lovers out there, lately a new way of creating art has finally come.
Now using fishing heads, they claim it to save the planet.
Fish rendering factory: This piece, Modern Times, asks the question on everybody's lips – have we evolved into a society of asexual assembly line workers? :D
This artist must have the smelliest studio in the world, judging by her pungent art materials.But Anne-Catherine Becker-Echivard has certainly turned heads with her unique scaled-down depictions of everyday life.Inspired by the silent movies of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, the Frenchwoman uses fish heads on models to address topics ranging from Aids to repression.
'Fish are a great method of communicating my opinions on this world,' says the 37-year-old, who lives in Berlin.
Again with the politics..
The big rumor is that Bill Clinton could be a possible replacement for Hillary Clinton's Senate seat when she becomes secretary of state. How about that, huh? Yeah. I believe it's the first time Bill has ever shown any interest in Hillary's seat. Isn't that ironic?
We're going from a Clinton in pantsuits to a Clinton who drops his suit pants.
