xiaoqiang says: above is a pix which strongly indicates what we can't do with S-land's currency notes. not only it's illegal to "deface" the notes but it's also quite impossible to do it with our friend on the notes. below is a one of those hilarious email i've gotten. thought that the pix and the story might brightens up your day. cheers.

A family in the Southern Province of China, were puzzled when the coffin of their dead grandmother arrived from the States. It was sent by one of the daughters. The dead body was so tightly squeezed inside the coffin,with no space left in it! When they opened the lid, they found a letter on top; which read as follows.

Dear Cousins,

I am sending Ah ma (grandmother) body to you since it was her wish that she should be cremated in the compound of our ancestral home in Tung Shin. Sorry, I could not come along as all of my paid leaves are consumed. You will find inside the coffin, under Ah ma's body, 12 cans of Yohmeitsu, 10 packets of Swiss chocolates and packets of Chinatown Lup Cheong(chinese preserved sausage) . Please divide these among all of you. On Ah ma's feet you will find a new pair of Nike Air shoes (size 10) for Ah boy. Also, there are 2 pairs of shoes for Ah Mei's and Ah Lien's sons. Hope the sizes are correct. Ah ma is wearing 6 CK T-Shirts. The large size is for Ah Ba(father) and the others are for my nephews.

Just distribute them among yourselves. The 2 new Armani Jeans that Ah ma is wearing are for the boys. The Rolex watch that Lee Ah Bai wanted is on Ah ma's left wrist. Kiasu Aunty Pei Pei, Ah ma is wearing the Tiffany necklace, earrings and ring that you asked for. Please take them. The 6 white Polo cotton socks what Ah ma is wearing must be divided among my teenage cousins.

Let me know what else you need as Ah Gong (grandfather) is also not keeping well nowadays. I can send all required things when our Ah Gong also.....
