CATHAY
PACIFIC
- (Dari ALHIE 5/9/00)
Once upon a time , there lived a
happy couple, Mr. & Mrs. Ng with their lovely
daughters; Elaine, Ena & Anele. The 3 daughters were
brought up in a prim-and-proper way and when they reached 20, they
were still virgins. Years past, and it was time to get them married.
So, the parents found them the most suitable 'leng chais'. They got
married and were preparing to set-off on their honeymoon. As
'concerned'parents, Mr.& Mrs. Ng were curious about their
daughters' first-night experience.
So, before the daughters went on their respective honeymoons, Mrs.
Ng told them......" Your father & I want to know about your
1st night encounters and whether you are satisfied. Write a
letter to us, but as not to raise your husbands' curiosity...you all
must use a code-name to describe your experiences".
So, the excited daughters were off. A week passed.
Mr. & Mrs. Ng got the first letter.
It was from Elaine. They opened the letter and found the
word 'STANDARD CHARTERED'. They
immediately took the newspaper and looked for Standard Chartered
advertisement. Ah! here it is!!!!, exclaimed Mr. Ng.
The motto for Standard Chartered was...."BIG,
STRONG & FRIENDLY".... Mr & Mrs. Ng
were happy.
A week later, they got another letter.
This time it was from Ena. The content was simple.
"NESCAFE".
So, again they took the neswpaper and looked for
the Nescafe ad. Ah! here it is. 'NESCAFE:
PLEASURE TILL THE LAST DROP'.
Mr. & Mrs. Ng jumped in joy.
Another week passed. A month passed. 2 months passed.There was
still no letter from Anele. The Ngs becameworried.
Finally, the letter came. It was scribbled and could hardly be read,
but Mrs. Ng managed tofigure it out. The code-name was "CATHAY
PACIFIC".
Mr. Ng rushed to the nearest store and got a
newspaper. He flipped the pages
frantically.............ah! here it is!!! Mrs. Ng grabbed the page
and read aloud. Before she could finish it ...... THUMP!!!!!!!
.......she fell off her chair...........
The motto as..................." 7 TIMES A WEEK.
3 TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP ".
