Cups

lim peh ka li kong

Today lim peh is going to talk about Cups.

Drinking cups la, not the female A, B, C, D, E, F Cups.

Many many years ago, the Ang-mo and the Chinese had their own type of cups for drinking hot beverages.

The Ang-mo cup

The Chinese Cup

We can see that the Ang-mo's cup has "a holder" at the side so that one can hold the cup even if the beverage in it is hot.

On the other hand, the Chinese cup does not have any holder, that is to say one cannot hold the cup if the beverage in it is too hot.

Does it mean that the Ang-mo is smarter than we Chinese as they are able to make cups with holders?

Of course not!!!

We Chinese are smarter than the Ang-mo.

So why then did we Chinese not make cups with holders? Actually hor, we purposely made cups without holders.

The reason is very simple and of more intelligence:

"If it is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for your lips."

Smart bo?!

Lim peh kong wan liao

Note: Eh... this one me anyhow think anyhow say one, just for fun only and not to be "quoted" at all.
