Drinking Tea

In the past, I do not enjoy drinking tea. But recently, starting from about 1 year ago, I seems to pick up the interest in drink tea, especially Chinese Tea.

I first started to visit a tea-house along Neil Road area earlier this year. The place was introduced to me by my good friend. The ambience is relaxing, especially on a hot scorchy afternoon, sitting under the air-conditioning and eating some light snacks to go with Chinese Tea. Not to forget, with relaxing music playing in the background, it helps to relax ourself from our daily hectic and fast paced lifestyle.

Besides patronising the tea-house, my parents also drank Chinese Tea on every Saturday night, so usually I will participate and join in their tea-session at night.

There are alot of varieties in chinese tea. Green tea is the most common and popular, followed by black tea and floral tea.

I had bought a can of High Grade "Long Jing" (Green Tea) which cost me $70 for 100 grams and another can of "Da Ye Pu'er" (Black Tea) which cost me $100 for 100 grams as well.

As I went again to the tea-house earlier, I realised drinking tea is no longer meant for old people. In the past, we mostly see old people gathered to drink tea, but now the crowd seems to be in the mid or late 20s.

Currently I am still learning to pick up the art in drinking tea and learn to handle the tea, as there are quite a number of utensils just for drinking tea.

I will post more infos about Chinese Tea, if there's any.

Joke of the Day

A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students the teacher asked,"Boy. what is your problem?"

Boy. answered, "I'm too smart for the first grade.My sister is in the third-grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third-grade too!"

The Teacher had enough. She took Boy. to the principal's office. While the boy waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was.

The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first-grade and behave. She agreed.

Boy was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"

Boy: "9".

Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"

Boy: "36".

And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade should know. The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I think Boy can go to the third-grade." the teacher says to the principal, "I have some of my own questions. Can I ask him ?" The principal and Boy. both agreed the teacher asks,

What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?

Boy replies after a moment "Legs."

Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"

Boy: "Pockets."

Teacher: What starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy,oval,delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?

Boy: Coconut

Teacher: What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft And sticky?

The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer, Boy.

Boy: Bubblegum

Teacher: What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?

The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer...

Boy: Shake hands

Teacher: Now I will ask some "Who am I" sort of questions, okay?

Boy: Yep.

Teacher: You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you do.

Boy: Tent

Teacher: A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first.

The Principal was looking restless, a bit tense.

Boy: Wedding Ring

Teacher: I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you blow me, you feel good.

Boy: Nose

Teacher: I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver.

Boy: Arrow

Teacher: What word starts with a 'F' and ends in 'K' that means lot of heat and excitement?

Boy: Firetruck

Teacher: What word starts with a 'F' and ends in 'K' & if you dont get it u have to use ur hand.

Boy: Fork

Teacher: What is it that all men have one of it's longer on some men than on others, the pope doesn't use his and a man gives it to his wife after they're married?

Boy: SURNAME

Teacher: What part of the man has no bone but has muscles, has lots of veins, like pumping, & is responsible for making love ?

Boy: HEART.

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and said to the teacher, "Send this Boy to College, I got the last ten questions wrong myself!"
