Pineapple TODAY 5th edition

I have decided to revamp The Pineapple Times into Pineapple TODAY. I am not sure what is there to revamp but all newspaper revamp once in a while, new look, new content, new price. Even FHM revamp themselves. Maybe I should add some sexy pictures inside here. Of course being the chief editor, journalist, columnist and correspondent, I will gladly hold the post of chief artistic creative photographer... Now for some sexy models for the revamp... Woohoo!!


Pineapple TODAY

Lunch with Ms Pooh

If there are no weekends in a week, I would be having lunch with Ms Pooh everyday. Strangely, when we were in the same school 10 years ago, we had lunch in the canteen but never share our thoughts as much as we had now. Maybe because there were Mr Alien, Mr Sun, Mr Nose, Mr Weird Tiger and Ms Pikachu, so attention was split among everyone.

Everyday at lunch there seem to be some topic of discussion, usually about life (what else?). Today she suddenly made me realise what is EQ. She say that someone with high EQ is someone "who can control their own emotions". Someone who can control what they say and how they feel. This is a simple concept that I did not realise.

Today we also talk about the topic on sleeping (yes we talk about mundane thingys), I told her that my friend Ms Piggy seems to be able to sleep practically in any situation, in the class, in the cab, in the theatre, in the bar, while sitting... Ms Pooh concluded that she must have high EQ because she can control where she sleeps.

The Talented Mr Pineapple Tat

"Everyone is talented, its whether your talent can help you make money or not... If sleeping is a talent, I would have make lots of money..." (Ms Sim's husband).

A lot of times, we thought being talented means being successful. A man can be talented in making origami but does not make as much money as someone who is talented in numbers, who can make lots of money from the stock market. If the right talent is in the right job, that person will be more successful. Certain talents are more suited for commercial success, others are more suitable for leisure success like sleeping.

A lot times, we thought being smart means making lots of money. A smart man can choose not to make as much money, so as not to be too stress or to attract trouble that money brings with it. It includes unwanted attention from materialistic women, friends who are with you for your generiosity and envy from enemies.

I always thought women like talented men. When I was young, I asked my first girlfriend what she liked about me... She said nothing, look out of the bus window and smile. I asked another girlfriend what my talent is... She thought for while... And then told me that I will find my talent soon. I asked Ms K what she liked about me and my good points... She told me my good point is that I don't mind that she is fat. Then she asked me what I liked about her, I told her I like her because she don't mind that I am ugly...

I always tell people man are created to walk that is why I am fine that I can't swim, cycle, rollerblade and drive a plane (plus a car and anything with wheels). So I can only participate in a monothlon and not a triathlon because out of running, cycling and swimming, I can only do one.

Ok so if I have no talent and women still like me (including my mother and grandmother), does it mean women like talentless man like me? I believe so.... Here is why, all little girls dream of marrying a prince yay... Since there are no perfect man in the world or rather the dream guy doesn't really exist, isn't it better to pick someone who is like a blank sheet of paper and mold into what you want. If not, pick someone who has lots of flaws and change him from there, that is quite an achievement too. Will you give up something that you have put in lots of effort in?

I am still not sure what I am good in and what my talents are, so I am going to organized a writing competition and the composition will be "Talented Mr Pineapple Tat". Write in less than 100 words what you think Mr Pineapple Tat's talents are. Winners will win a free autograph from me......

Otherwise

I realised I have not listen to the radio for some time. I found out that I can focus on my school work better without background music. I used to thought otherwise...

I have many books I want to read but there are so many things to read plus my texbooks. Speed reading through something seem like shortchanging yourself. When I was younger, I believe you have to read a book from page 1 to the last in the correct order. As I grew older, I thought otherwise... Now I skip pages and read the parts that I like.

When I had western food in the past, I used to finish all the side dishes like the coleslaw, french fries and baked beans and left the meat till the last to be enjoyed. Now I thought otherwise... Now I enjoy all my food altogether, a bit of meat here, a bite of fries there, a scoop of baked beans and a taste of coleslaw.

When I just started work, I wanted to be successful and to have accomplishments. Along the way, I see people cry, I see people go into depression, I see people argue, I see people doing petty acts, I see people disrespect other people, I see people fight, I see people torture people, I see people gossip, I see myself participating... Now I thought otherwise... These people lead an unhappy life and success comes in many definitions, not the title you have on your namecard, in your email, the money you earned, how much you can do or what you can do. In the end, what people can offer is a "well done".

I am someone who is afraid of dying... Ain't most of us? Now I thought otherwise... If you believe you will go to heaven after your mortal life has passed, isn't dying a better option than living on this crappy earth where there are wars and natural disasters, you have to work to live, you will fall sick, you will feel sad when bad things happen because we all have emotions.

Does it dawn to you that these are all true? Or did you thought otherwise......
