The Hardworking Ant and the Lazy Grasshopper (Thoughts to ponder upon)
Ant and Grass hopper
Once upon a time, there lived an ant and a grasshopper.
The grasshopper does nothing else but jump around and play.
On the other hand, the ant is so hardworking, looking for food all day
long and store them in it's nest.
Looking at his hardworking friend working so hard, the grasshopper ask,
"Hey, Ant! U dun have to relax ah? Always busy one. Come and play with me lah."
To which the ant replied, "I can't lah i have to store all these food."
"Haiyah! Relax lah. Why u bother storing all these food? When u hungry
den go find lah." the grasshopper told the ant again.
"Eh, cannot lah. I have to standby for the coming winter season. Then no
need to panick mah. I think u also must standby u know." The ant telling
his friend.
"Where got time...I go play better. U wanna store food u go ahead lah. I
continue playing ok.. siao*!" And hop goes the grasshopper.
*siao = crazy
The Ant is a hardworking guy... oops i mean insect.
Not like the grasshopper who is so lazy. And so as days, weeks,
months go by, the winter still has not come yet but the ant is still
seen searching and storing food.
The two friends happen to meet again.
"Hey Ant! U stil haven't finished storing food ah? Last time all
the food all go where? So fast finish ah?" asked grasshopper.
"I got keep but all overdue liao. So cannot eat anymore. All because
winter not here yet. Now I have to go and look for new food."
Sighed the ant.
"But ant ah.. U dun mind I ask ah.. Did u ever have a thought that
Singapore where got winter?" ask the grasshopper again.
"AHHHH????!!!!!" t
he ant was shocked!
THE END.
The moral of the story is whatever u do better think properly 1st.
Dun anyhow hantam* only... :)
*hantam = guess
Sometimes we go too busy in life and following our routine too tightly
but most importantly, work towards where you wanna go in your life,
what is it that you want, what is it that you REALLY want,
what's your dream, is what you are doing now moving towards your dream?
If it's not, dun just keep on working hard n keep on hantam only just
because someone in your life told you that this is the way and just
because everyone is doing it!!
Don't keep on working hard with no direction .......
focus in the direction of your life not your work but your life.
Plan your life, Live life cool.

i have another story from my colleague..
there was once 2 ladies. one, very carefree and the other, more thrifty. they found a nice bungalow each and the carefree lady quickly put a deposit and rented the place. she lived happily in the rented bungalow till 80, and went on to the pearly gates. the other thrifty lady saved everyday and could finally afford to buy the bungalow, but before she could stay in the beautiful bungalow, she too went to the pearly gates.
that is a good one.. sometimes, i also feel, by the time we paid off loan for the purchase of our HDB flat, we probably already very old...
i wonder i go pearly gates or not? maybe i go caffeine gate? crap joke..
Aiyo, Andrew's cat very cute, look like my orange one. I will send you some pics of mine tonight. I hope after I die, I go to meow meow gate, surrounded by cats, yeah!
hantam = "hut(hokkien)"
lynne: i will wait patiently for ur kitties pic. i also wan to go to kitty heaven, provided they all love me.. not bite me..
kenny: "hoot" might sound better :)
