New Standard English

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away. By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find
it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

OKTOBERFEST!!

Right.. the beer's great and the company's nice... we even made new friends with our "futures". Shucks.. who knows man.. Jay may become the next chair of the teachers' union or wad? And we can have better tulang served.

But just a recap.. why were we there at Paulaners?



Yeap...picture not very good.. but you get it lah huh...



Better? But well... We didn't have Erdinger lah.. we had Paulaner... Heck anyway.. as long as the beer 's good?

Back to the makan session.

The food's good but some of us actually prefered the beer. So much tiill that well, we're almost gone? Yeah.. Last order 20 beers... that's not bad lah.. after 20 rounds.. don't even know what one did. Fantastic. Well... someone came and someone left... and you don't even know what you did.

Anyway.. I'm digressing again lah huh...





Lipter, our favourite Coffee Maker. Perhpas he should just stick to drinking his mocha ? He was gone alright.. but well.. many more to join him later? Let's see... got who huh ? I know I damn evil. But heck lah huh. Let's see...


























Jay with one eye left. Gone.

Ok.. Our LTA (NS) Wong. He looks sober enough.



And here he comes to save the day.



yes and boss is up and about again!!

As I read back what I've written so far.. it sounds very messy... as messy as what actually happened that day??


Maybe can ask her? So excited on the phone? So char bo.. what happened? Did anyone tried to be funny?

Ok.. after that... Uncle gave some speech



But I don't think many were listening...some prefered to drink and drink. I won't be surprised if we got banned from Paulaner you know... so next time hor.. someone else must make the reservations liao. You know, the staff were keeping their eyes on us, least that anyone created some problems.

But being the good old soldiers ( and policeman.. not forgetting our SGT Chan mah), we promptly marched off. German style. How to say left right left right in German huh ?



The sexy green shorts and the socks... erm... I don't think anyone has got any uniform fetish hor....

Ok.. to end off this post.. shit must get back to work liao...

Due to popular demand, this picture's back!
