Hotel Scam your Credit-Card

This is kinda scary if only because of how simple it is. I'll bet this works all too often.

You arrive at your hotel and check in at the front desk. When checking in, you give the front desk your credit card (for all the charges for your room). You get to your room and settle in.

"Someone" calls the front desk and asked for (example) Room 620 (which happens to be your room). Your phone rings in your room. You answer and the person on the other end says the following,

"This is the front desk. When checking in, we came cross a problem with your charge card information. Please re-read me

your credit card number and verify the last 3 digits numbers at the reverse side of your charge card."

Not thinking anything you might give this person your information, since the call seems to come from the front desk. But actually, it is a scam of someone calling from outside the hotel/front desk.

They ask for a random room number. Then, ask you for credit card information and address information. Sounding so professional that you do think you are talking to the front desk.

If you ever encounter this problem on your vacation, tell the caller that you will be down at the front desk to clear up any problems...

Then, go to the front desk and ask if there was a problem. If there was none, inform the manager of the hotel that someone called to scam you of your credit card information acting like a front desk employee.

P.S. Please help to spread the word by forwarding this email to everyone you know.. Who knows, you might just help someone avoid a nasty experience.

我現在才知道 监狱与公司的区别

监狱:大部分时间都在8x10尺的空间里。
公司:大部分时间都在6x8尺的空间内。

监狱:一日三餐准时进食,完全免费。
公司:进食不定时,餐数不一定,自己付钱。

监狱:表现良好可获休假。
公司:表现良好可获更多工作机会。

监狱:守卫为你开关所有房门。
公司:自行开关所有房门,遗失职员证或忘记密码将被罚款数以百元计。

监狱:拥有独立厕所。
公司:使用公厕。

监狱:亲友可探望你。
公司:办公时间不容许私人事务。

监狱:所有费用由纳税人支付,不必工作。
公司:税金由工作的收入扣除以支付公共开支,如监狱。

监狱:麻木不仁狱卒向你施压。
公司:管理阶层的手段更毒辣。

监狱:太多空余时间,可做运动健身。
公司:丝毫没有自己的时间,有损健康。

监狱:离开监狱代表重获自由。
公司:离开公司则前途茫茫。

监狱:每天可以在10:00前睡觉。
公司:一加班就不知道到几点。

监狱:每天都能吃到鱼或肉。
公司:基本上是盒饭, 盒饭, 再盒饭。

Think before you speak...

Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak -
the last one is great!
Have you ever spoken and wished that you could
immediately take the words back...
or that you could crawl into a hole?
Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did......


FIRST TESTIMONY:
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow
and asked loudly,
"How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?"
I turned around and walked back out and never went back
My husband didn't say a word...
he knew better.


SECOND TESTIMONY:
I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls.
I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using.
After browsing for several minutes,
I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store.
He asked if he could help me.
Without thinking, I looked at him and said, "I think I like playing with mens balls"

THIRD TESTIMONY:
My sister and I were at the mall and
passed by a store that sold a
variety of candy and nuts.
As we were looking at the display case,
the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help.
I replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts.."
My sister started to laugh hysterically.
The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away.
To this day,
my sister has never let me forget.


FOURTH TESTIMONY:
While in line at the bank one afternoon,
my toddler decided to release
some pent-up energy and ran amok.
I was finally able to grab hold of
her after receiving looks of disgust
and annoyance from other patrons.
I told her that if she did not start behaving
"right now" she would be punished.
To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening,
"If you don't let me go right now,
I will tell Grandma that I saw you
kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!"
The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange.
Even the tellers stopped what they were doing.
I mustered up the last of my dignity and
walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow.
The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.


FIFTH TESTIMONY:
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?
My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly.
One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch, in between erran ds
It was very busy, with a full dining room.
While enjoying my taco,
I smelled something funny,
so of course I checked
my seven-month-old daughter, she was clean.
Then I realized that Danny
had not asked to go potty in a while.
I asked him if he needed to go,
and he said "No".
I kept thinking
"Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me.."
Then I said,
"Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?"
"No," he replied.
I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse.
Soooooo, I asked one more time, "Danny did you have an accident ? This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants,
bent over, spread his cheeks
and yelled
"SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!"
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing,
he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down.
An old couple made me feel better,
thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!


LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY:
This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days
and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will,
in the future, likely think before she speaks.
What happens when you predict snow but don't get any!
We had a female news anchor that,
the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't,
turned to the weatherman and asked:
"So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?"
Not only did he have to leave the set,
but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!


Now, didn't that feel good?
Pass it on to someone you know who needs a laugh
and remember
we all say things we don't really mean,

so think before you speak!

下輩子都不會再見... 無論愛不愛

最喜歡最後一句"無論愛不愛,下輩子都不再見",
讓我想起在上中國哲學課時老師常說的:
菩薩案前一爐香,修得來世鐵心腸,你能參得了嗎?

香港電臺知名主持人梁繼璋給兒子寫過一封信,這封信很快流傳於各大網站,很多父親看後感觸很深,我覺得不只給兒子,其實適合所有人看!

我兒:寫這備忘錄給你,基於三個原則:
(一)人生福禍無常,誰也不知可以活多久,有些事情還是早一點說好
(二)我是你的父親,我不跟你說,沒有人會跟你說。
(三)這備忘錄記載的,都是我經過慘痛失敗得回來的體驗,可以為你的成長省回不少冤枉路。

以下,便是你在人生中要好好記住的事:

(一)對你不好的人,你不要太介懷,在你一生中,沒有人有義務要對你好,除了我和你媽媽。至於那些對你好的人,你除了要珍惜、感恩外,也請多防備一點,因為,每個人做每件事,總有一個原因,他對你好,未必真的是因為喜歡你,請你必須搞清楚,而不必太快將對方看作真朋友。

(二)沒有人是不可代替,沒有東西是必須擁有。看透了這一點,將來你身邊的人不再要你,或許失去了世間上最愛的一切時,也應該明白,這並不是什麼大不了的事。

(三)生命是短暫的,今日你還在浪費著生命,明日會發覺生命已遠離你了。因此,愈早珍惜生命,你享受生命的日子也愈多,與其盼望長壽,倒不如早點享受。

(四)世界上並沒有最愛這回事,愛情只是一種霎時的感覺,而這感覺絕對會隨時日、心境而改變。如果你的所謂最愛離開你,請耐心地等候一下,讓時日慢慢沖洗,讓心靈慢慢沉澱,你的苦就會慢慢淡化。不要過分憧憬愛情的美,不要過分誇大失戀的悲。

(五)雖然很多有成就的人士都沒有受過很多教育,但並不等於不用功讀書,就一定可以成功。你學到的知識,就是你擁有的武器。人,可以白手興家,但不可以手無寸鐵,謹記!

(六)我不會要求你供養我下半輩子,同樣地我也不會供養你的下半輩子,當你長大到可以獨立的時候,我的責任已經完結。以後,你要坐巴士還是Benz(賓士),吃魚翅還是粉絲,都要自己負責。

(七)你可以要求自己守信,但不能要求別人守信,你可以要求自己對人好,但不能期待人家對你好。你怎樣對人,並不代表人家就會怎樣對你,如果看不透這一點,你只會徒添不必要的煩惱。

(八)我買了十多二十年六合彩,還是一窮二白,連三獎也沒有中,這證明人要發達,還是要努力工作才可以,世界上並沒有免費午餐。

(九)親人只有一次的緣分,無論這輩子我和你會相處多久,也請好好珍惜共聚的時光,下輩子,無論愛與不愛,都不會再見。

小女生 .. 大氣度 …

有一對小姐妹每天放學後,一定會一起到我們的便利商店光顧,
因為這對姐妹乍看之下與其他人並無不同,甚至普通到讓人過目即忘,直到我見識到她們之間相處模式那一刻開始。

這個姐姐的外表看來文文靜靜,但脾氣卻異常火爆,每次到店裡來,總會看見她嚴厲的 對妹妹進行「機會教育」, 最常聽見的有;

「妳是笨蛋嗎?這個快要到期了,還拿。」 要不然就是:

「妳是白癡呀!明明寫買一送一,妳還只拿一個。」更狠的還有:

「妳這隻豬,金額超過了妳不會算嗎?」等等之類的。

那個挨罵的妹妹,居然一聲也不吭的就任由姐姐罵,還依然氣定神閒的挑選她想要的東西,且絲毫不受影響。

某天又到了放學時間,但令人意外的是這天只有妹妹一個人 來,我見那個潑辣的姐姐不在,於是便和她聊起天來。

「妹妹,今天怎麼只有妳一個人?」我問。
「姐姐感冒了,所以請假。」妹妹朝我一笑,樣子相當可愛。
 「我覺得妳姐姐好兇喔!」我試探性的表示。
「還好啦!不要理她就好了。」妹妹在賣場逛著,神情相當愉快。
「可是她每天都那樣罵妳,妳不生氣嗎?」我好奇的問。
「愛生氣的人是她又不是我,而且被罵一下又不會痛。」妺妹嘟嘟嘴道。 - GOOD !!!

是嗎?小小年紀居然可以這麼豁達,真是不可思議,反觀自己,也許是從小就養尊處優慣了,
所以現在才會稍微被責備一下就難過得想死,吃了點虧就非得要據理力爭不可,在精神層面她真是比我強太多了.......。

「阿姨,我要買這個。」妹妹拿著一支冰棒到櫃檯來結帳了,我一看正好是促銷品,於是對她道:
妹妹,這個現在買一送一喔!妳可以再去拿一支。」

我以為她的反應一定和其他小朋友一樣,先是眼睛一亮然後滿心歡喜,不料她卻對我說:
「可是我現在只想吃一支就好,另外一支就送給別人好了。」說完對我揮揮手便走了。

看著妹妹一蹦一跳的離去,我忽然有很深的感觸,這個小女孩太特別了,甚至讓我覺得在某方面我必須向她學習。

挨罵,她可以不在意;多的,她也不貪心,如果有人都能以這麼簡單、純真的心來面對這世界,我想紛爭與悲劇應該就可以終止了吧!

一個人的快樂,不是因為他擁有的多,而是因為他計較的少。YES!!

要恢復赤子之心..........我們都還要多多努力耶!!........互勉之^^

Super Concentrated MSG



Watch the following links and Do be aware of this Super Concentrated MSG - contents unverified but be careful with abundance and popularity of hotpot restaurants in Singapore/worldwide and china bashing activities!

If true, hope the relevant authorities in Singapore can take speedy action to protect the public .

Be careful when dining overseas in Canada, US , European, ANZ Chinatowns and Asian restaurants!

Latest "poison" from China . Better not eat out too often. Many restaurants in Chinatowns all over the world may be using this.

Articles appeared in Hong Kong press a week ago and products were also found in Toronto, Canada.

For those who do not understand Chinese/Cantonese , there is a new kind of"MSG" in liquid form call "Yat Take Heung".

Many Restaurants in China use them to add to their base soups/sauces/gravy etc. This new MSG contains a lot of chemicals and will speedily cause serious damage to humans.

It is unknown if this was caused by this new MSG. Watch news video from this Youtube link and TVB news.

Pretty soon 一滴香 may be used in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Houston, Melbourne,.... Until the governments step in to take action.
We don't know , however, which restaurant is using it.
