一单身女子搬了家，晚上忽然停电，
她赶紧点起了蜡烛，忽听有人敲门，
原来是隔壁的小孩子。

只见他紧张地问：
阿姨,你家有蜡烛吗？

女子想:天哪，
刚搬来就借东西,以后就更没完没了了.
于是她冷冰冰地说：”没有！”

这时候小孩笑了，还带着一丝得意：
“我就知道你家没有！
妈妈怕你害怕,让我给你送蜡烛来了”

儿子养不起年迈的母亲，
决定把她背上山丢下去。

傍晚，
儿子骗说要背母亲上山走走，
母亲吃力地爬上他的背。

他一路都在想爬高点再丢下她，
当看到母亲在他背上偷偷往路上洒豆子..
他很生气地问：“你洒豆子干什么？”

结果母亲的回答让他泪流满面：
“儿子，
我怕你等会儿一个人下山会迷路。”

男孩和女孩在一年前认识并相爱，
有一天男孩昏倒，
她才知道,
如果男孩接受心脏移植手术才可以活。

可是男孩却不接受手术，
不管家人怎么劝，
连他最爱的女孩劝他都没用。

终于，男孩带者女孩的爱去了天堂。

不久，
女孩从男孩的妈妈那,
拿到一本男孩的日记，
最后一页有一行字：

用别人的心爱你，
我怕我做不到。

他说他很爱我，可是每次出去吃饭都要让我等半个钟才到。
每次去的还是同一间餐厅，终于我再也忍不住等待我提出了分手，
他低着头说了句：“对不起每次让你等那么久…”
一天我回到了我们吃饭的餐厅发现味道变了，我问老板为什么？
老板说以前有个男的总爱来这亲自为女友下厨..

after matching songs on air, i tried my best to match the stories here with my photos~~~

for some who missed it…

for some who wanted to read it…

for some who wanted to share it…

here are the stories…

在相亲活动上，女孩对他很满意。
走吧。好。他起身买单，腿却一拐一拐的。
难怪他才华横溢，事业有成，却还是单身。
趁着他买单，她赶紧悄悄走了。
又是一年，单身的她又遇到了他，
他正牵着孩子的手，走的飞快。
你的腿？她有些诧异。
腿？我的腿怎么了？他更诧异。
后来，她才知道那天他的腿只是坐太久麻了而已。

她要结婚了，前男友也在邀请之列。

婚礼上，众人玩起了认新郎的游戏。

新娘捂住眼睛，走到了新郎跟前。

新郎得意地看着前男友，

前男友则是淡淡地瞥了一眼。

新郎要上去拥住新娘时，

她却走向了前男友，摘下了眼罩。

前男友从西装里拿出了一瓶香水，说：

这是你最喜欢的味道，

我一直都带在身边。

男孩结婚后对自己的妻子比结婚前更好。

一次聚会，朋友笑他：
怎么结婚了还那么腻。

他讪讪地笑着说道：
“结婚前很多男生都想追她，
有很多男生会对她好，
我只有对她更好才能追到她；

结婚后，
对她好的男生越来越少，
我只有对她更好，才能不让她失落。
我所做的一切就是想让她幸福。

”说完，所有在场的朋友都沉默了，
没有嘲笑，只有敬佩。

失明后他脾气暴躁。妈妈呵斥道，
你这样自暴自弃，
从今后我只喊你起床吃饭睡觉，
不再管你。

果然，
从那以后妈妈每天只跟他说这三句话。
这让他很愧疚，
也渐渐平静下来配合治疗。

一年后，他终于复明了，却没看到妈妈。
家人告诉他：妈妈一年前就去世了。

去世之前录下那三句话，
是不想影响你的治疗…

巫许氏：藏在饶平深山中的复姓
http://www.chinareviewnews.com 2007-06-25 16:40:14

听过复姓“欧阳”、“夏侯”的，但恐怕没听过复姓“巫许”的吧？在广东饶平县一处深山里，有一群人世代均以“巫许”为姓。这一复姓不仅在《百家姓》中找不到踪影，就连《中华姓氏大辞典》和前不久出版的《潮汕百家姓》中也没有记载。

在潮州市饶平县坪溪（现并入浮滨镇）境内的上社、岭头两个村子里，3000多村民以“巫许”为姓氏迄今已有600多年历史。上社村负责人许志强、古稀老人许炳枝翻开《巫许氏族谱》，为记者讲了一段关于“巫许”姓由来的故事：

元朝末年时世混乱，饶平县隆眼城都樟树下（今汕头澄海县隆都镇樟籍村）人许大安（1322-1394年）从小就避居饶平县浮滨五祉乡巫厝村的姑父巫氏家，姑父和姑母视其为己出，大安成人后还为他娶妻授室。元朝至正十年（1350年），许大安拜别姑丈姑母，携妻一起迁至坪溪上社乡定居，开山种田，繁衍子孙。虽然离开姑父母，许大安时刻不忘他们的养育之恩，经常告诫自己的子孙说：“所谓姑饲侄，有因然也。故不忘其所生，亦不废其所养，巫许并存，而效前人之复姓，生养同服。”于是，许大安从其儿子木稳开始使用“巫许”复姓，后裔子孙无论是居住上社，还是移居岭头，甚至出祖他乡，均以“巫许”为姓，世代相传。

在上社、岭头等地共有大小祠堂19座，每座祠堂都冠以“巫许宗祠”。现在，有不少巫许氏后人移居台湾和新加坡一带，在他们的祠堂、同乡会址乃至死后的墓碑上，都用“巫许”之姓。

据介绍，新中国成立后，当时的人民政府干部认为外面没有这个姓氏，“为方便起见”，登记造册时全部改为“许”姓至今。许炳枝老人说，尽管现在身份证、户口本等都写着“许”姓，但子孙们都没有忘记自己世代姓“巫许”，村里每逢传统活动都会用上“巫许”的姓氏。

多年从事潮学研究的陈先生闻悉此事十分感兴趣，他说，“巫许”复姓的由来和存在，进一步折射出潮人不忘根本、感恩图报的优良品德。（来源：金羊网）

it’s 清明again… i haven’t been to yong peng for several years…

be it lazy or busy la ;p

it was really a rare occasion this year to have our whole family 扫墓-ing… i think my 4th bro have not been to yong peng for the longest time for as far as i can remember…

there were 3 ancestral tombs that we visit every year… since young, i never really knew who’s who… i mean u have to wake up so early in the morning… u prob just call/do-as-u-r told…

this year… i finally got it all cleared up…

anyway… its been a tradition since ah ma days to visit grand uncles n grand aunties every year she went back when she was still alive… my mum said there used to be many more families to visit… now… we are left with 2… so… the city people had the rare chance to explore kampung gardens and chanced upon interesting findings~~~

a tree…

a flower ahhahahah

夜来香～～～ makes delicious floral soup or floral omelette~~~

hmmm something i used to play with when i was young…

this one… never see before~~~

the birdie flower 1~~~ LOVE BIRDS!

twisted english~~~

bukoh mary — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 08:16:58 +0000

We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!

Let’s face it – English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
Neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren’t invented in England .
We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
We find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing,
Grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham?
Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and
Get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
Should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a
Recital?

We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
While a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
In which your house can burn up as it burns down,
In which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm
goes off by going on.
