look at e time now.. started at 5+, now 6+ le.. omg~ i actually could wake up tt early to go 4 e 8am class.. dis is total madness le~ hmm i blogged at dis time cos i was suddenly hit by a thot while bathing juz now..

did u ever realise tt we humans r actually contradictory beings.. n y i said tt? i got dis fren whose allergic to seafood; he once told me tt he dun even eat simple fishes, not to say prawns or crabs la.. i was amused in a sense cos i myself cant live w/o seafood~ n i duno how he managed to survive la.. anyway e main pt was aft he told me tt, few days later he had a seafood feast w his frenz ba, e nx ting i heard frm him was tt he had a major nose bleed n was admitted to alexandra hospital~~ stunned -.- i oni got to noe abt tt frm him oni AFT he was discharged.. sigh~ knowingly e consequences is dreadful enuff, yet we tend to push our limits too far ar..

another eg: i once told my frenz.. i'll nv work 4 Walls again, cos of tt fatty benny.. yet i worked 4 him again recently, juz e wk ago.. y i did tt~ geez.. simply bcos i was hard up on cash to pay off my bills monthly.. although tt guy dun really lyk me i e 1st place, yet he still ask me to work 4 him, simply bcos he was short of manpower n had to swallow his pride to hire me back lor~ but there was a price to pay 4 being hired too lor.. firstly e sales muz b gd, n sure kana suan by tt moron la.. wad to do~ juz gif him a real gd lame smile lor.. *shake head*

although there was a better offer waiting 4 me to take up instead of selling ice cream at tm lor.. i.e. sell popcorn @ expo lor.. sounds silly but at least e boz there treats me well, provides meals 4 me, dun stress me up w sales targets n stuff.. all i need to do is pop nice yellow sweet popcorns 4 them n they pay me e same pay rate as fatty.. yet i chose fatty 4 e sake of preventing myself frm being scalded by e monster popcorns again~ aft all my wounds juz recovered, yet there r scars on my hands.. maybe 4 life~ --"

anyway yest was e final day of our work at Walls.. congrats to me, maddy, shi yun, adeline n pei fang~~ its been a loooong wk of selling n eating ice cream man! haha~ at least e fruits of our labour is sweet.. our pay!! haha~ anyway later we gonna celebrate by going lalalala aft class today~ yay!! gtg sch le~ take care pple~~

hey peeps, got dis frm an email.. its called "Logical or Lateral".. sounds abit lyk qian bian qns but its not! haha~ enjoy ba~~

There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building. Everyday he gets the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the building to go to work. Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining! Why?

(This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral thinking puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible solutions which fit the initial conditions,only the canonical answer is truly satisfying.)

***

A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the scene, but the child is rushed to the hospital. When he arrives the surgeon says, "I can't operate on this boy, he is my son! " How can this be?

***

A man is wearing black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, lumper, gloves and balaclava. He is walking down a black street with all the street lamps off. A black car is coming towards him with its light off but somehow manages to stop in time. How did the driver see the man?

***

Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?

(This is logical rather than lateral, but it is a good puzzle that can be solved by lateral thinking techniques. It is supposedly used by a very well-known software company as an interview question for prospective employees.)

***

A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the man not die?

***

A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out.

(This puzzle claims to be the best of the genre. It is simple in its statement, absolutely baffling and yet with a completely satisfying solution. Most people struggle very hard to solve this one yet they like the answer when they hear it or have the satisfaction of figuring it out.)





Scroll down for the solutions....


SOLUTIONS

The man is very, very short and can only reach halfway up the elevator buttons. However, if it is raining then he will have his umbrella with him and can press the higher buttons with it.

***

The surgeon was his mother.

***

It was day time.

***

A square manhole cover can be turned and dropped down the diagonal of the manhole. A round manhole cannot be dropped down the manhole. So for safety and practicality, all manhole covers should be round.

***

The poison in the punch came from the ice cubes. When the man Drank the punch, the ice was fully frozen. Gradually it melted, poisoning the punch.

***

The man had hiccups. The barman recognized this from his speech and drew the gun in order to give him a shock. It worked and cured the hiccups-so the man no longer needed the water.

sumtimes its gd to set aside time to reflect.. to tink abt ur stuff tt u haf left aside in ur mind.. e probs n unsettled matters tt u had no time to settle.. simple examples can be: relationships.. there are many diff kinds.. BGR, frenships, family etc.. many a time in our lives, we tend to overlook certain aspects esp our probs, tinking tt they r not worth tinking n tt they were a nuisance.. yes they are indeed a pest in our thots, but if we dun settle them quick, u'll oni drag on n delay e settling of e BIG prob in ur mind.. all of us, at least haf sth in our hearts rite now tt is bothering us.. e oni ting is tt we dun even bother to care abt how r we gonna solve it..

another eg: ur future.. wad r u gonna do rite aft ur poly ed? wad r ur goals n plans in life? i noe all of us haf heard dis qn umpteen times, yet did we ever bother to gif tt qn a thot 4 a few mins? i din.. alex n daniel asked me dis qn b4.. i did tink over it yet i din really thot of tt seriously yet.. we r now having holidays rite.. y not let's take dis last few wks of dis holi, juz b4 sch reopens.. juz to tink a little.. gif it a little thot.. write out a plan list.. from now till aft graduation from poly.. wad u wana do n y?

recently, many pple haf been troubled over many stuff.. i duno y either.. it seems to b a pattern.. probs cum n leave all tgt at e same time.. maybe having long holidays indeed haf their pros n cons lor.. indeed we haf time to reflect on our stuff.. yet sumtimes we tend to tink too much n wonder to e worst consequences.. no names mentioned.. juz tt i feel tt sumtimes we really can let out thots run wild.. so wild tt we can even land into depression.. e degree of seriousness of e depression do varies.. im not joking or wadeva.. i tink we sld really tink of our probs n stuff frm diff perspectives, aspects n angles..
my motto in life: alw look on e bright side of life, u'll feel happier.. *sounds lyk NIKE's ad?!~* yeah~ i totally agree w tt statement.. pple who noe me v well, they usually c me as a optimistic gal.. alw smiling, alw telling pple 'dun worry', 'smile always' rite.. u may tink i dun understand ur feelings, e torment within u as u struggles alone w ur probs.. yet many frenz of mine, they haf approached me whenever they haf stuff bothering them.. im not trying to advertise myself or brag.. i guess wad im saying is tt, they c me as sum1 who is able to help them by giving them gd advice n or juz simple encouragement.. im no god.. im not thick-skinned.. all i wana say is tt, if u haf probs troubling u or stuff tt u haf been struggling wif, tok it out w sb u r close wif, n who is trustworthy, in our eyes.. yeah~ ^^v

whenever u decide to do ur self-reflection.. do it sumwhere quiet, where u r close w ur thots alone.. egs: a quiet park, in ur bedroom, bathroom or simply by e sea.. yupz 4 me, i alw do in my bedroom; on my bed, under my blanket.. haha~ aniwae gif dis sum thot.. worth tinking over ba.. cheers!
