The Loyal Wife

There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money.

Just before he died, he said to his wife, 'When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the "after-life" with me.'

And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him.

Well, he died . . . He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undert! akers got ! ready to close the casket, the wife said, 'Wait, just a minute!'

She had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the casket.

Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away.

Her friend said, 'I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there in the casket with your husband.'

The loyal wife replied 'Listen, I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him.'

'You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him !!! ?'

'I sure did' said the wife. 'I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote ! him a cheque. If he can cash it, he can spend it.'

Moral of the story: *Women are cleverer than Men* ......

We went to "empty orchestra" last night


LOL! You must be wondering where did we go to... it's karaoke lah. As I was thinking how to write this article, it dawned on me that I dun really understand how does the word karaoke comes about. I knew it has something to do with Japan, cos the word sound Japanese. So I checked up the wikipedia to find the meaning.

Karaoke (カラオケ, Karaoke from Japanese kara(空), "empty," and ōkesutora, "orchestra") (pronounced /kɑːrɑːˌoʊkɛ/; in Japanese IPA: [karaoke]; listen (help·info)) is a form of entertainment in which amateur singers sing along with recorded music (and/or a music video) using a microphone and public address system. The music is typically a well-known pop song in which the voice of the original singer is removed or reduced in volume. Lyrics are usually displayed on a video screen, along with a moving symbol or changing color and/or music video images, to guide the singer. In some countries, karaoke with video lyrics display capabilities is called KTV. It is very commonly pronounced /kæriːoʊkiː/, leading people to also incorrectly spell it "kareoke".
Anyway my colleagues and me had a great time at the karaoke, though none of us really sang very well. I'm especially croaky last night and sang out of tune most of the time. I would sound better if i have the professional singer voice in the background (honestly speaking, it is to cover my bad voice and out of tune singing... LOL!). My singing is only good in bathroom where there is no audience...

I think I getting hooked with karaoke now, in just a about 1 months time, I have been to karaoke for at least 3 times which is far better than the 4 times I been to karaoke for the past 7 years.
