Curiosity kills the cat? Why? Cause I tried this cola called curiosity cola from Fentimans once and now I am hooked for life. Some time ago I was invited to try this drink called Calimocho at The Wine Shop in Penang.

More like it right? Then there was this mother who was bringing her son to school waiting for a bus. The son asked the mum, "Mummy, what are the 2 doggie doing? The mum had a look and was shocked so she answered her son, "They are just chatting. You know mummy always hug daddy and chat on the sofa? Dogs don't have sofa so they hug each other and chat". Now comes the fun part. An European guy passed by and snooped listened to the mother and son conversation. He just tap at the small kid and tell him, "Your mummy is lying to you." The boy then turned to his mum and looked at her. She quic
