WHOSE FAULT IS IT?????

This advertisment which mumsie saw on the TV during the Chinese New year season really makes one start thinking....wonder what TELECOMS who put this advert is trying to say..????.

It goes somehting like this.....(mumsie couldn't remember what were their children's professions but they are all 'big shots)

Four fairly old Chines ladies were sitting @ a mahjong table in a garden (? playing mahjong not too sure what they were doing..) The first lady told the rest of the ladies that her son who is a professor is working in the US...The second proudly added that she too had a daughter a doctor also working over seas..and The third commented that her children too are professionals all working oversea.The fourth lady listen quietly and didn't utter a word...

Then a car (a simple old car) stopped beside thier porch and a young man got out..inside the car were 2 small children and (I think) the young man's wife. He greeted the fourth lady. "Mum we come to take you home for dinner" And the fourth lady with a broad smile excused herself and said "Sorry gotta go home and have re-union dinner with my children"

As the car drove away with the fourth lady....the rest of the 3 ladies...looke at one another sulkily........

MUMSIE'S CHURCH' S FEAST DAY!

Mumsie's church is called the Church of Sacred Heart of Jesus...and every year on 3rd Friday of June is its Feast day and the church will celebrate this day with a day full of fun and games for the families of the church members..so a food and fun fair day.....(which in mumsie's school days..Convent school is famous for this) This day is created not to make money for the church but its main aim is to bring the parishners closer to one another and hopefully the family closer to the church tooooo

Many turned up for the day and had lots of fun, from children right up to senior citizens. The church divides its parishners into groups call BEC according to the areas they stay and mumsie BEC is Pelangi 2 (Pelangi has too many parishners so gotta divide into 2 BEC..Pelangi 1 and Pelangi 2) And each BEC gotta put up a stall

It was nice to see the BEC members (from preschool children right upt to adults and senior citizens) taking part in this celebrations . Mumsie is sure that the the church is happy to see all its parishioners bringing their families together and having fun. In fact there is another event comming up at the end of this month where each BEC had to perform in the talent timed show ....(look out for this blog)

Guess what...Alice just SMS mumsie to inform that mumsie's BEC top the list. Our BEC stall collected the most money on that day...$4700/++
