The roots of the word have been defined as follows: super- "above", cali- "beauty", fragilistic- "delicate", expiali- "to atone", and docious- "educable", with the sum of these parts signifying roughly "Atoning for educability through delicate beauty."
It can be defined as "something
to say when you have nothing to say".
During a
robbery in Guangzhou , China , the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank:
"Don't
move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."
Everyone in
the bank laid down quietly.
This is
called "Mind Changing Concept”
Changing the
conventional way of thinking.
When a lady
lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her:
"Please
be civilised! This is a robbery and not a rape!"
This is
called "Being Professional”
Focus only
on what you are trained to do!
When the
bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA trained) told the older
robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school):
"Big
brother, let's count how much we got."
The older
robber rebutted and said:
"You
are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count.
Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"
This is
called "Experience”
Nowadays,
experience is more important than paper qualifications!
After the
robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police
quickly. But the supervisor said to him:
"Wait!
Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70
million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.
This is
called "Swim with the tide”
Converting
an unfavorable situation to your advantage!
The
supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."
This is
called "Killing Boredom”
Personal
Happiness is more important than your job”.
The next
day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The
robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million.
The robbers
were very angry and complained:
"We
risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million
with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to
be a thief!"
This is
called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"
The bank
manager was smiling and happy because his losses in the share market are now
covered by this robbery.
This is
called "Seizing the opportunity”
Carpe diem or
Carpe diem or
Daring to
take risks!
So who are
the real robbers here?

I could see only one kroni there that could be consider Malay ,the rest were Chinese/Indian or Chinese interest.
Were this caused the Chinese tsunamy as they said.
Its not the question of which crony borrowed 'How much?.
Its a question whether these loans were returned to the country with interests, or not?
As a layman in the streets, if a flyover is necessary,and ease traffic congestion, then I am very thankful. However,if the cost is exorbitant because it was given to a crony contractor, then the government has burdened the rakyat, because we are paying for their profits through our taxes.
Zorr, if I have to make a choice, who was the real robber....I would have voted you....an educationist who knew all!....the tricks of the game hahaha! Got you!
Zorro
Your English is too 'deep' and difficult for those following 'Oh My English!' tv show to understand.
I hope you can keep it simple for the benefit of our students who are deprived good English in the Malaysian education system.
Good health to you, thanks for kaming my morning a hilarious one! How not to when Din played us their laylist, a sister played Josh Groban and you provided the comics! Beats the pills anytime!
Mind your heart, the figures are just staggering but its ODD only 5.6 millions care. Now we will face TNB and GST and NO decrease in prices of Malaysian and Imported cars!
Already we are to be on salted fish because Fish will only be for the rich and famous one day Soon!
Have a good Holiday (am not talking about the script reading Agong!)
And here we are having to skimp and make all kinds of declarations to the authorities when we want to send pocket money to our student children overseas so at least they won't have miss meals and not live like refugees.
BTW, what do you call an old mystic with rough hands and bad breath?
A SUPER-CALLOUSED-FRAGILE-MYSTIC-HEXED-WITH-HALITOSIS.
