materialism
Materialism means living inside a gated bungalow that has
everything except the freedom of a house that has no fence.

be immersed
You are of lesser faith if you think that a stack of printed papers
is a representation of your faith or to a larger extent, your God.
Be immersed in his creation and you will find writings of joy all
over his grandeur.

cranky
Men can’t handle emotions well. When men gets emotionally upset,
they become cranky! Like an old worn out record player they pissed
on your ears and pierce your eardrums. Then, they pierce your heart.

airtight
What I like about women is their subtlety. Like a stream they flow
inside of you and fill up every single opening they suspect is likely
going to make obnoxious sounds. What I don’t like about women
is this. After they plugged you in, it is helluva airtight!

self esteem
A women’s self-esteem
comes from self-assurance
about their appearance first.

a very strong man
Sometimes it makes me think that God must have
made me a very strong man otherwise how could
I have survived being devoid of so many things
in life yet capable of wantonly pleasuring myself
with the littlest that I am endowed with?

height of joy
Quite often, people doesn’t realize the height
of their joy until they come face to face with
pain.

emotional impulse
Man cannot exist on reasonings alone. But
be affected by every unexpected emotional
impulse infected by women.

About the Proverb/Saying:~.
This traditional Hokkien proverb/saying describes in the most interesting way, the distinct difference between a local Southeast Asian women as opposed to the Chinese Settlers.
The author/owner has compiled for record, a collection of early Hokkien sayings, proverbs, rhymes and ditties to capture the essence and spirit of his hoi polloi, a community originating from the southern province of Fujian, China where individuals climbed aboard bum boats, crossing the South China Sea to settle in faraway lands to escape the brewing civil unrest and a way out from hardship carrying along with them in their journey, nothing except their trademark ponytails and their beliefs, very much rooted in Confucianism. These ditties retell their story and their lifestyle way back then so that the younger generation can gain an insight and foothold to their origin..
