Gatsby

Have been using Gatsby for so long and I did not notice its effectiveness before, until that day.. the day I took my passport size photos.. It was like another hair gel advertisement. Entered the photo kiosks and adjust my head to fit in the virtual frame on the screen. Then snapped! I went on and took my photo from the kiosks, and passed it to the staffs for documentation processing.

X   : "Sorry sir, your picture cannot be used. You have to take a new one." 
me : "Why?"
X   : "It is because the photo you give do not fit your whole head sir. We will let you take a new photo for free, but the third time, we'll charge RM25."


Took a look at the picture. My god, the hair exceeded the top frame. Went back to the kiosks again. This time, make sure that the hair is pressed downwards, no matter how ugly the hairstyle would be. I pressed, my hair stands back right after I release it.. I pressed again, it stands again.. Finally, I pressed my hair until the countdown of 3 seconds and released and the last second. Snap! Well, it is right below the upper frame.

Gatsby! Keep your hair standing 24/7!


宠,必须宠?

常常看到一些父母会很宠爱儿女,特别是给予儿女金钱上的享受,心里就会责怪那些父母没有好好教育儿女,结果把他们给宠坏。但是今天听了一位老 uncle 的一番话后,我觉得人有时候还是不可以那么快下定论。

“我不是故意要给儿女多多钱,我没什么读过书,儿女也不爱读书,所以我没有期望儿女要怎么出息,只希望他们不偷不抢,而且钱财将来也是留给他们的,所以钱赚了就给他们吧。。我唯一要求的就是要他们自己好好保护自己的命,因为若他们为了得到他们要的东西而去偷去抢,出了事,我用多少钱也买不回他们的命。”

听了后觉得其实他也很无奈,但是教育儿女始终还是他的责任,所以也不知这事他是对是错。
