Silent night, lonely Christmas

Got many to blog on, but these few days aft back from work very lazy n tired to put my hand on the keyboard. So this gonna b a long winded one.

24/12 - Caroling nite
How’s my lonely Christmas? The night 9.40pm, caroling team reached my home. Since wan to wait for my FIL to reach (anyway he late for 1 hour) we hav light refreshment first before caroling starts. Full house of ppl and shoes are park across the corridor, luckily the rain stopped and a bit windy else the house will b very warm. This is the first time my home hav this lot of ppl, not place for everyone to sit, some even hav to sit at the reading room and some stand at the kitchan and also outside the balcony..Everybody stay on for 1 hour time. Many of my church member first time visit, thus they ask me a lot of things abt the house. Before the caroling night message was on, my FIL reached. So we continue till the end of it. Before the member leave, I giv them a snack pack that I pack myself as a Christmas gift and also token of appreciation. Everyone goes happily holding the pack.

During caroling (full house)

Church members leave and left my parent and in-law parent. Few of us chit-chat till 12am and everybody are rushing home, coz old ppl tired already…and my mum most pity hav to wake up at 5am the next day to cook curry chicken dish for Christmas party at church. So she left me alone to do the clean n tidy up the house…at 1am the house finally quiet and silent. So me alone wash up the plate n cups, arrange back the things in order, sweep and mop…actually I very hungry that night, coz I only hav small portion of porridge for dinner and by the time they leave although I’m very hungry but I dun feel like eating. I just put back the food to the fridge for tomolo morning breakfast.

Before they come and after they go

By the time I finished cleaning up, it already 2.30am, take a warm shower and sit in front TV to watch the “Astro Movie Buff” till I get myself fall asleep then only I drag my tired body back to my bed. That’s my 2006 Silent Night.

25/12 Sunday


Christmas morning, I wake up at 9.30am. This Christmas was the first time I didn’t go church, coz no body with me at home and I dun feel like going and the most I love one not here. So since alone I hav an earlier date with Teresa for Christmas buffet lunch. So call her up and decide wat time n where to met up.
While waiting her to come (she’s late coz jam jam jam), I read some books and look for some CDs at MPH and at last I bought this book that I wan to buy sometimes ago. Can’t wait to read it. Now I start reading a lot about pregnancy n baby, hopefully it can help me to get more prepare to welcome the new born.



We hav our Christmas Lunch Buffet at Mid Valley Boulevard Hotel. A very new hotel, buffet serve quite ok, it have steak, chop, turkey, many different kind of bread and salad, fish, delicious soft cake n etc...RM 45 nett. Reasonable price and the environment also not bad. We exchanged gift and chit-chat. We enjoyed for 2 ½ hours there. Mid Valley was pack wit cars and ppls…then we just shop a while and went home.


Hey..Don't think I eat this little only...

Very tiring coz few hours outside. Once home quickly shower and slept from 5.30pm till the next day 10am without having dinner (dunno my bb will confuse or not, how come mummy lately so funny..no day n no night..hahaha). Yeah, sorry my precious.. before the Christmas week, I really sleep late and wake up early and eat not consistent…cham!…got to sayang back my bb from now on…

Here is the lovely Christmas present from my 3 sis-in-law and Teresa. The Soothing lotion just come in-time, very touching.. That’s my 2005 Christmas.

26/12 Monday (Boxing day)

Holiday yippie!! Can sleep longer without looking at the clock. Wake up at 10.30am then hav dim sum as breakfast + early lunch. Went to Ikea to shop for some storage box. Too many things wan to pack up n organize a bit the house and prepare for baby room. Went to The Curve too, while Brandon waiting for me to pee, he again admiring his dream ‘Koibito’ massage chair at Ogawa. He wan to bring that home sometimes ago, but I dun let him get it, coz it huge n eat up a lot of place in the room. So since he not try out how fantastic the chair is, he went in to the shop and try it. Guess what he stick it to n he like it very much, especially their back massaging. So he continued to ask for the price, gift n installment thingy. Aft some talk talk wit the salesperson finally he wan to bought it back. It cost RM3,188. So before we proceed to sign the credit card payment, the salesperson continue to show us another model of massage chair. I dunno what model name of that, chair size bigger than Koibito, the only different is the leg and buttock part massager are better than Koibito, price different of RM700+. So aft some consideration, he decided to change it. The price is RM3,899. We got a free foot massager which cost RM 1,800. Apart from that, we also entitle to have another round of lucky draw to win latest model of Honda City at coming Ogawa event. This contest is sent in by SMS (they will help us to submit) and the lucky pick is run by computer. So we got 300 chances of getting it (coz we bought 3k and it got 300 chances for the computer to pick). All we need to do is bring our handphone and attend the event at 22nd January at New Wing, 1 Utama. If your phone rings, then u hav been selected to b part of the winner. 10 persons will choose by the computer and each give the remote control car key, if the key u holding can automatic open the car lock open then the car is yours. Hmm..dunno how much luck we hav to get it. Another draw is from The Curve management, we got 5 draws to go for and can write down your Christmas Wishing List on the board. The prizes we pick up were all dining discount vouchers and 1 key chain. We spent half a day there.

At night, another round of gathering wit his lovely schmate at a steamboat restaurant in Cheras. 20+ ppl attend, those who turn up mainly are back from overseas for holiday. Gathering end at 10.30pm, another tiring day.

Who is your importance?

Would u be happier to celebrate the festive wit ur loves one or having fun outside with others if u married/ attached? Actually not so wan to jot this unhappy event down as since attached till married today, those festive season I also celebrate alone with family without him around.

So till now I dunno what is the different feeling celebrate with the loves one before n aft married….I’m so admire those hubby/bf who are so called stick to his loves one during those importance day, but he dun really hav the heart to b wit me, I dunno why…I only know how I feel the best during my birthday.

For every holiday, he will think n follow of his own plan to go on, he never discuss what we wan to do, with who n how to do…all we are doing is own own decision…n also all he wan is I got to follow his plan…not even once we go out together with all my own frens for movies, dinner or outing..all the while his fren is top priority…I know he hav been good in rejecting all his fren invitation to clubbing, partying n karoaking the few months aft married, I dunno how many times of gathering he wan in a year….all weekend we hav own activities…not doing things together..

Tomolo is the Christmas eve, and the carol team will b at my home for the very first time. I hav invited both of my family members n church carol team to celebrate the eve together. Estimate to hav about 40 over ppl around. He hav his earlier plan to go gathering wit bunch of his fren at Genting on the eve. This Christmas eve small party, I really very excited to having it, I plan out everything by myself, from shop for thing to buy, decorating the home, buying gifts and wrap up all 40 over small gifts. All I done by myself….my both thigh muscle were swelling last 2 days..may b walk too much n carry a bit heavy (luckily my ex-colleague were helping me)…I hope I still can stand on it, by the blessing n mercy of God…

Tomolo another busy day…I got to b host alone for the eve and answer uncountable time of questioning of where is he. I dunno how it feel again….aft married first Christmas without hubby around n got to be alone with others…thought I will be happy, coz now I can get to feel the eve at our own hut with my love one n others, but the rest of the hour u will know how I feel aft the crowd go n the eve is over…the whole Silent night is really silent n lonely to me.

I understand that friends in life are still important too aft get married, but can we do things together n not separately n having own own plan n decision? i dunno how many years i need to wait for to hav this special feeling…I love Christmas, I love Christmas tree and hav the one I love to share wit me…I hope I can control my feel on tomolo night…

Brandon, thanks for clearing up the hut before u go, hope u hav ur great time wit ur lovely fren without me.

Peace Christmas to you…

11 days before a brand new year

Weeks not updated the blog, lately just doing fine. Wanted to thank thank God that I passed the 1st trimester (Week 1-13) of pregnancy. And, all this while I can said that I'm doing quite well...not to said any other thing, for not vomitting like most having throughout this 4 months time already a great blessing. I pray to God everyday to giv me good health n to the baby, take charge of his growing in me n give me comfortable, also soon for good delivery. Really thank Him for his great great blessing. I'm entering the 17th weeks now, hopefully from now on I'll be fine too till I delivery the bb. I'm so excited for this coming Wednesday, as I'm going for my check up n get the blood test report. Most probably report should b ok, coz the gynae said if got any problem he will call me during last check up. For ultra sound scan this time can get to know exactly is a boy/gal. Lately I really can eat a lot. Brandon also get a bit frighten sometime. Looking at my belly growing i'm feel happy n proud too.

Christmas was around now, this year I'm inviting my church carol team to sing at my house on the eve. I'll b inviting my frens n family over to join. I still haven't get ready of the chirstmas gift. I got to get it done by this Wednesday n get prepare to decorate the home. Actually I was so wanting to hav a Christmas tree at home. Coz i really so happy n feel warm when gazing at blinking light on the beautiful tree. Well, is not the time to get a medium or big one now, may b few years later. I will bring back the small christmas tree which Brandon send me as christmas gift few years ago to put on the small desk...also plan to buy some extra decorate item to put around...I really love christmas season. To me christmas is not a party day is a joyful celebration for the born of Saviour Jesus Christ also a great time to send warmest care to your love ones.

Last week join the 1 day trip to Malacca, going with the Cricket lighter supplier (Sincere Match). Thank God for good weather. Visited again the Hang Li Poh's Well, The Stadthuys and A' Famosa. We stayed a night at Equatorial Hotel, very comfortable. Not getting any luck from lucky draw. This year the Asia Pacific Manager, a Swedish came to join us for this dealers' annual dinner. A young and fun ang moh. Upon collecting the car to back home at the supplier office, our car is blocked by the van, can't go forward or back, got to wait for the staff to bring the back gate key to open for us. Waited nearly 1 hour to get out from the gate.

Upon turning out from the junction, we saw a man wearing all black. This person really strange. He wear a black hat, black coat neatly covering 3 quarter of his body, black pant n black leather shoe, looks quite smart, but when i really saw carefully, his face also covering with black cloth. Can't really see one inch of his skin color. He walk quite slow. I think it was pretty frightening if were to walk to his opposite way. Really mysterious, is he hav sickness, secret man, terrorist, I dunno...if we not in rush I was really interested to stay in the car n look at him more carefully n see where he heading to...anyone saw this kind of stranger? he appear at Sunway, along the highway in front of Sunway Pyramid.

真的太厲害

不但行行押韻,而且字數是每一行多一字,到中間又每一行少一字,外帶趣味性!而且聽說比北京大學的三角形文章更棒~真的是滿厲害的!


無奈
真奇怪
總不明白
人長的不矮
外貌也是頂帥
但只要女生一來
舌頭就會自動爬帶
可能因為我腦筋太呆
還是天生應對能力太菜
活了三十幾年總是沒人愛
每每聯誼亂槍打鳥總是失敗
某日上網漫遊遇到一個小女孩
聊天打屁樣樣都來暢談非常愉快
她說她長髮披肩貌似桃花風華絕代
還說她昨天剛分手現在家裡沒有人在
我很酷的敲著鍵盤說我不想欠下感情債
她輕描淡寫告訴我一夜情後從此不相往來
同學們個個誇讚我深情浪漫是情場上的天才
我倒覺得我三生不幸身旁圍繞的儘是這種同儕
最後決定騎著機車壓壓馬路逛逛台北基隆那一帶
事不疑遲迅速著裝出發來到約定地點心中有點期待
看到街角有位勁裝美女婀娜多姿蓮步輕移朝我走過來
我外表裝酷其實全身暗爽心中強自鎮定看著美女說聲嗨
誰知美女看看手錶輕皺柳眉頭也不回朝著火車站加速離開
心中正感非常奇怪轉頭看到有個女生站在身旁看起來有點矮
皮膚黝黑髮泛油光臉長豆花體態臃腫估計她體重超過了有一百
見她伸出右手輕揮示意告訴我她就是網路上長髮披肩的風華絕代
二話不說我全力施展移形換影希望能儘快逃離眼前無比巨大的障礙
奈何天意使然四周的擁擠人潮無巧不巧將我跟她緊緊撞和在一塊
心中有著千般不願萬個無奈不停禱告這只是老天開玩笑的安排
不幸被她認出了我的帥讓我只得哭著承認我就是她的那條柴
她說我就像想像中那麼帥還問她是否跟她講的一樣還不賴
台北郊區的死寂夜色正如我現在心情充滿了無盡的悲哀
那隻該死的恐龍還不知死活的給我在後座不停的亂掰
滔滔不絕說她之前會被甩是因為男朋友嫌她太可愛
我偷偷決定悄悄騎到陽明山把她宰了隨便埋一埋
出乎意料

Over the week

Taa..daaa...my winning cheque was on my hand now ..yeah not too much or little at least this is the sum of lucky..got to show it off a bit...hahaha..at least Brandon is envy very much on it..and blamming that y MYFM not call him....I faster snap it down before I slot in into the fast cheque machine...the GDex man sent this document to me by the 3rd attempt, as I put my home address for postal. Finally it reach me on Saturday morning at office. So happy coz it really reach me and it is true one!

RM1400!...Wahaha..

In the big a-bit-winkle-A4 size envelope, 2 things inside, the cheque and the 2 printed pages of rules and regulation. The most important highlighted one are upon receiving this cheque in 240 days, you are not allow to participate in any MYFM call-in game. By receiving the sum, also need to inform them that i have collected the cheque, by fax them back the letter of acknowledge. All this I done...

My funny appetite aft get pregnant hav been up n down...sometime can eat, sometime cannot. My eating portion totally change. Pity Brandon have to b my 'food bandaraya' to take all my can't finish portion. My eating habit totally change now. Normally i can finish up my plate of food in clean, now i only can take in half, sometime not even half. Every night without change I will drink a glass of milk before sleep. Hav been taking 3 type of supplement to keep the baby n myself in health. Those supplement really helps. At least I won't feel tired during daytime. My weight slightly gone down a bit n hopefully it will back to normal aft the 3rd month. Currently still able to fit my normal suit, I dun plan to buy any maternity wear so soon. Wait until my body hav great changes first...today my fren - Karen email me her pregnant belly, it was so great and amazing to wacth her belly growth on week 24, 28, 32 and week 33....wow..feel great for her to become mummy real soon and the baby is getting bigger. She is having a boy.

Now Brandon is more excited than any other things...he sayang my baby inside more than me....asking me to eat more, eat n dun eat that...etc...but the things is my appetite can't take much now..the importance will go more to baby now...by eating anything in for him is all deliver to my bb. Now I try not to take heavy things and walk a lot..need more rest as this is the 'fragile' stage for carry a baby. My expected delivery date is 31st May..a Gemini ohh..

Many things need to learn now...and now i listen to many mummy experience n story....Since i need more rest, guess this weekend my Ipoh cousin's wedding I couldn't attend, coz Brandon dun wan me to b travel far and get tired, but we need to back to Seremban, his grandpa house for his 97 years old birthday...

ok...more updates later...10pm is my sleeping time now...

Lil one

Went to the maternity clinic at Pantai Cheras hospital to do my first check up. Refer to a doctor recommended by my cousin claimed to be very good. Since no other recommendation and the hospital is the nearest one so we went there. The doctor known to be very famous in the hospital for maternity. Went into the clinic ward registered, wait for a while then my turn, the doctor didn’t talk much to me. After some question on my body changes, then used ultra sound to scan my tummy, can see the lil one inside, 6 weeks old, 1 inch big only, start to have heart beat and it healthy grow. Dunno whether this is the first time or wat, I dun not hav much question to ask yet. Doctor also didn’t giv much advise, took some vitamin pills then went back. The next check up would b 3 weeks later. Not even spend 20 minutes there. Very fast.

These few days hav some appetite to eat, but not took much also, body start to hav some changes and I got to take cake much from now on. Very particular on the food I eat. Now what I like to eat only soup n chicken rice. Others seem not so favour. Brandon hav stop me from taking many food n drink n doing this n that. Quite stressful also. Guess I got to tahan myself from that for 9 months long…need to sacrifice..Doctor advised me to start drinking Anmum milk powder. So I bought one yesterday n start drink it today. Taste not so nice..not really like to drink, because of the taste.

Have been finding out more from frens about maternity period. Talk about the doctor, one of them do not hav good comment on my doctor, another one has no comment. Consider changing doctor n the anmum milk powder too..got to start reading maternity magazines now to know more about it…

Going to step into another level now.

Unexpected things happen

Over the weekend, the foreign news are about Bali being bomb by terrorist and what so terrible was that 2 Malaysians are involved at the back of the planning. These make me so sad in the morning of Sunday when I receive the news and saw the beautiful island being destroyed. Moreover I just came back exactly 2 weeks ago. Everyday I kept close to the news reported abt the place now, the number of tourists and the local ppl dead is still increasing. When I was there, I visited the monument and the exact place of being bomb on 12th Oct. 2002. It is just so sad to stand in front of the monument reading the 202 peoples name stamped on the wall and opposite of it is an empty land lot, which the pub being bomb located last time. This time the names not sure where they going to continue the dead name list or build a new one. Imagine 3 years bomb twice in the same area, I dun think tourist need to think twice before they go. A beautiful island who very much depend in the tourism industry, this time dunno how long they need to bring up the island n to give confident to tourist back for visiting. From the news, Kuta now is no longer alive like the time I was there. I so miss the place. Now the airport is pack with tourist who urge to back home. Why? Why?? this bad terrorist wan to destroy the country n grabs away the life? 911 incident and bombing here n there.


Monument crafted with 202 ppl who died on 12 Oct.2002


The exact pub location being bomb ago

Now Thailand famous tourist spot like Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok are keep alert of the bomb incident happened to them.

Have been thinking of quit Fitness lately, due to wan to hav more time at home. Lately not frequent go for gym also, go also only for class. But not take action to ask for quit yet, coz feel missing it, if just quit like tat…so just still hold on for doing so.


Over the weekend, not quite feeling well and hav very weird digestion feel. Every time aft meal feeling uncomfortable and sometimes not feeling wan to eat. Must have something wrong, but this not make me sick at all. Suspected that my menstrual hav due and have this kind of feeling, so I went and bought the family planning kid to test on. The result is positive. I was so surprise n happy to read the tester shows 2 lined. I think is 99% accurate. I haven’t go to see doctor to prove it yet. Guess will b going for check up aft my FIL back from holiday (again…). These few days feel tired only and eat not much only hav porridge, others things dun feel wan to eat, so serious that even I saw the TV show delicious food I also hav vomit feel.


So, now I think i got reason to ask me quit fitness.

Gain more

Have been thinking about making money lately. Yes, although now not lack of anything for living, but since still young no harm to gain more extra income and also gain experience. Brandon’s fren hav approach him in Lampe Berger and 1901 Hotdog franchise business. He still looking into it, but for LB we dun think to run it and has been trying very hard to reject his good fren invitation for the business preview. For myself, I’m pretty interested joining Shirlyn in making crystal accessories.

I wan to look for some business, which can do at my own pace and not required tight deadline. Shirlyn know about it, but we still haven’t really sit down n face to face discuss about it. Brandon fully supports me in doing it. I hope can get it starts soon, at least learn how to make the accessories first before any others. Now need to wait for Shirlyn when she is free to teach me.

Always see those who selling hawkers food very good in business. And hav been roughly calculating their income “daily income x by month” by selling a bowl of mee lets say.., some are having better income than a manager level / white collar. Anyway they hav been putting a lot of effort to gain the successful, is worthwhile. See ppl doing good but dunno how much I can handle if I were them.

Met after long time

Been attending 2 school frens wedding over the weekend. Very great to met some of them aft leaving school for 8 years. Well, some kind of not so closed feeling is there, cause some are merely schoolmate not tat keep in touch that kind, only know their names. Looking at each other the look doen't hav much changes, perhaps some status changed, some have been a mum, a wife and some are married soon. Very happy to see my fren one by one tied the knot, I'm counting wit one of my classmate. For TPian this year have 6 couples married, this including me.

For those with some contact once a while, we still able to chit-chat a lot, but for those not so closed, we only smile at each other :)

People, Culture & Nation: A country for holiday and relaxation with beautiful sun and Indian Ocean. Tourist mainly came from Australia, Europe and Japan. 7 aircraft touch down at Ngurah Rai airport within 2 hours. Can see that this country is brought up by the tourist. A very strong religious island, everywhere can see the stone craft of their God and they see praying is important than any other things. Many ppl there selling and making stone craft and wood crafting of anything, from furniture, god faces, human, animal…etc... No doubt their crafting work are fine. Almost the small village main activity is crafting. Their Bahasa speaking is slightly different than us. Some Bahasa term they not able to understand ours one. At tourist spot, those business ppl can speak Japanese too. Their attitude are quite kind and well manner. Their building not taller than a coconut tree, believe that it will be safe from disaster. No highway or toll. All roads are small and narrow, but their driving still is very good. Hardly found broken and old vehicle. Infrastructure is not that well. Taxi only go round the city area, outskirt they dun go. That’s why must hire a tour guide to bring you go around. Some young kids who not afford to go to school they worked in the temple. They more willing to work then study. Can’t see any beggar on the street or small villages.

Will upload more pic in my album soon.

Bali preparation

Tomolo we will be off to the beautiful Bali island. Since last week, Brandon have been busy digging out all the Bali info, place of interest and what to do..from Internet and some print info we got from my cousin...free and easy with planning is good, so that no need to search during we are there, directly we follow the itenery which set, make sure we really spend the time valuably and can visit more places. Checking from the list we have, the place we stay have lots of restaurant, nightlife and bars, shopping spots and spa. Basically our plan have covered all these. The only thing we not have enough time is to visit more places. We only able to plan to go volcano, Canggu/Kuta beach, Ubud, Tanah Lots. There are many others more.

US n Rupiah rate hav been flactuate during the weekend. Rupiah is kinda hard to get in KL city and the rate was not really ideal. US rate drop a bit. Hav collect some mouth info from frens too about do n don't as Bali is a strong culture n religious island.

Lastly hopefully our family can enjoy the trip and hav a great time to get together again. Will update more about the trip once I'm back.

Win Win..lucky me!

If u listen to MyFM, you’ll know since yesterday there is a cash game show, whereby at certain hour the DJ will call u and u can win cash money. A game sponsor by ING Insurance. I have SMS registered myself since the game promo ad on-air during the weekend. I just throw my luck again, as I said in my life I never hav this kind of lucky draw for prizes’s luck. I just sent in just to put a hope that I will win something. I know again the chances are damn low..millions of ppl to pick from.

The game rules is like this. The DJ will call u, when u pick up ur phone, u can’t mention any “Hello”, which is very common to start ur phone conversation. U need to be alert and directly mention the “MyFM tagline”, then u r eligible to win RM100, followed by if u can mention “I.N.G” for 3 times another RM100 is for u. So a total of RM200 is in ur hand. Plus, if that particular hour is bonus hour, u will get an extra RM700. So, in summary if tagline and ING being mention, for not bonus hour = RM200, bonus hour = RM900. If you mention “Hello” upon answer the call, RM200 will accumulated to the next lucky winner.

Yesterday night got home from gym, took my rest as usual, browsing Internet and check mails before went to bed. Actually I was so tired until my eyes almost closed when reading emails and thought wanted to shut off the pc and went to bed already. At that time I’m not on my radio, coz do not used to on plus Brandon already sleep like a baby at that time. I just alone doing my stuff at another room.

So, since I registered for the game, day n night I listen to the radio and grad hold my phone wherever I go. And also alert all the incoming call number, make sure it is either “Withheld” or number start with 03-9543..”Withheld” displayed normal are those calls from private or hidden number.

Yesterday night 11.45pm, while charging my cellphone, it rings. I take a look at the number display it is “Withheld”. I paused a while not answer directly, quickly in my mind I told myself, is this the call I waiting for? I’m so lucky ah? So, dun care la..just press the answer button. Upon picking up, the other party was quiet, so I just mention out the tagline, then the DJ Fan Bin said: “Congratulation! U win urself RM100!” then not waiting any longer I mention “ING, ING, ING” wow…he told me win another RM100. I was so so surprise and my whole body was in cold sweat, shivering, excited, laugh n happy…n I scream to him…wow…really so surprise…

He continue asked me: “Do you know how much u have win?”I said: “Yeah I wan to know, how much? Faster tell me!” I was talking in shivering n laughing, coz one side excited, one side was unexpected happiness. Too bad la..Brandon that time slept already, he can’t see how I get excited.

He said: “You have total win urself RM600 from the accumulated”. I screamed: “Wow!!!....thank you thank you.” “Plus we will give u another extra RM100”. I screamed again: “Wow!! RM700!!”. My tiers almost falls from my eyes and can’t stop laughing.

He continue: “Not only that, this hour is bonus hour, mean u know how much u can get?”. I said: “Another RM700 and total up RM1400!” I continued to scream and scream and it is unbelievable that I’m the lucky one!.

Aft he took down my personal details, we continued to chit-chat for a while. At that time I still can’t get myself to cool down and I can’t describe those sudden surprise comes to me… He told me he is having so many names n numbers and he dunno which to pick, happen that my name comes at the last one in the list, so he picked that n called me…Imagine yesterday was the first day only. Oh my God…so easy RM1400 cash in your hand just giv u like that, with just few words u need to mention…without doing anything in compete…I still thinking how come is me…as last evening when on the way to gym, I told Brandon I just registered to join the game and he even told me won’t b so easy n lucky can b selected, so many ppl…and we even discuss over it, on how to tackle the number we received and what to say when the call is in n etc…our conversation was just like a pre-practice to me.

After I hang up the call, I SMS my close cousins to tune in to the radio and listen to my scream on-air. Can’t wait the edited playback on the radio. Aft 2 songs my scream voice on-air. Wow, I was like..ahh…dunno..i dunno how to say la…

My cousins called me aft the on-air playback n we chit-chat for awhile, she feel happy for me…one of my college fren also listen at that hour as well and she also called to congrat. They so envy for I can simply win a large amount of money. They said how come I so lucky…my this college fren 4 years ago also listening when I won movie tickets….ohh…it was just so great!!

Yesterday night I can’t even sleep tight…too excited liow…coz the happy stream just flow in my mind n body…Before laying down I SMS my dad n bro to tell them this good news…and my dad congrats me too…today I still feel energetic..not sleepy at all…I still stick to MyFM and listen to other lucky one.

I still dunno how to spend this money until I get it. Brandon finally registered himself thru SMS. Friends, if u wan to stand a chance faster SMS now. Key in “MYREG(space)ur name” eg. “MYREG JUDY CHOW” and send to 32366. Upon register u will get a confirmation message. Aft registered, tune to it and hold ur phone tightly and u will be the next lucky one.

Carnival TV3

Last weekend quite busy coz FIL not around. This time he went to Taipei, Taiwan for holiday. Hopefully they can enjoy the trip in peace. Although Taipei was not the city storm by the “Taily” wind.

Karnival TV3 was at my area this round. Heaps of crowd visited and causes traffic jam and road block. Well…the situation was expected, nothing was so surprise and frustrated. It held at the carpark outside Bukit Jalil stadium. I took this opportunity to visit, just walk 5 mins across the road. Booths available are like Maxis Hotlink, P&G, Maggi, DutchLady, Dewan Bahasa, Zoo Negara, Naza Motor, Maybeline, Munchy’s, KFC n etc…Many lelong and good deal around, all other booths many sold malay foods and drinks and also live performances.

Sunday night before the carnival call it an end, fireworks again was lighted up the stadium, it was just popping up above my apartment, watching it for 15 mins..just love the firework sensation.

Holiday

At 12.00am sharp look outside from my bedroom window spotted 4 places light up with fireworks..although enjoy it from far but the firework and the event does boost the Merdeka count down celebration. Aft tat, bed-time..wake up the next morning 9am…can’t sleep too late as the body clock set to 6.30am.

Wake up clean the house then went out to have dimsum breakfast at Tmn. Connaught. As usual holiday everywhere is full of ppl. Met a fren there also having their dimsum..see the world is just small…went to Leisure Mall aft half an hour. Initially wan to go fitness and met up Brandon’s classmate. At the end, not going to fitness, coz spend too long listen to his to shared about a business plan…this fren of him very secret, in the phone he do not wan tell what kind of business he wanted to shared. Upon met up he and his teammate were along…main issue is not talking abt the plan yet, but is all about what is ur dream to achieve in ur life n chit-chatting…bla bla bla…then only we know they wan to introduce us Lampe Berger business…They do not told us directly what is the plan all about, bringing us to turn big round abt the dream, quite boring to listen to them for 2 hours..and Brandon at last can’t go for his Body Pump class.

To me, MLM business structure is not suit for us or long run, as my past experience in Omegatrend, I found myself really not into it…even I work very hard in it for a few months, of coz I understand if I really put in my whole effort to aim for it, sure one day I still can achieve what I wan. But my mind and heart told me that I’m not into it, I still prefer something more realistic, I dun wan to force myself. As Brandon said, imagine the whole world is master by MLM marketing, so whose going to be the end consumer and from where the money going to flow into ur structure?

Aft this section, outside was raining, so we went over to Cheras Plaza Neway to sing K. Just 2 of us sing for 3.5 hours non-stop until voice half gone…hahaha…then we went home..Cook some pork porridge to sooth the throat..that’s my holiday!

Patriotic me

Open up newspaper everyday, aside from MCA election which hav cover half of the daily news and now almost comes to the end, fuel price going to rise (again…) n other issues like accident, civilization problems n etc.. What makes me so happy to bring up the news I read lately were these – Change MyKad Win Prizes and also Mega Discount on Traffic Summonses.

I was thinking how come government so good…for change MyKad win prize, there will be a total of 80 prizes are up for grabs every month and every draw will schedule at end of the month of Sept, Oct and Nov. So meaning if u having MyKad u and I will automatically stand a chance to win, they will draw u by ur I/C no. Dunno whether I got a chance to get one of the prizes among Malaysian, very tiny hope..just let the luck take place…who knows…as so far in my life I’m not that lucky in this kind of draws...for nation normally this kind of lucky things will more go to the malays…I think many times they are very lucky, those big grand one always they got it.



See most of the time, we just complain n complain about the rules set by government…What a kind n generous of them, this time not rising the summon rate but got discount somemore, aft mega sales, now mega discount ha…so fren if u know u having “dried beef slice” pls get it settle, as this special discount are in conjunction with Independance Day only…for 2 weeks time only starting from Sept.1, all kind of traffic summon will get 50% discount…report saying there are 8 millions unsettled summonses, so faster go n check see whether u are in the ‘hall of fame’.


So happy abt it? hhmm..should b ok la…of coz the more the merrier…at least now we see something benefits to us ya…

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! “mat du ga” - whatever add/rise, “mei tit ga” - rice price drop (haha…lets hope..) whatever u call it…we should love our country, respect the government n the nation…later hope can get to see some firework at Bukit Jalil here, not went to any place to count down…just wan to get more rest…
National Day is the best time to show ur respect to the country, see this in New York..

At least 600 Malaysians took part in the first-ever Hari Kebangsaan float parade in Flushing, New York on Saturday that brought the normally busy Main Street to a standstill. Dressed in traditional costumes, they marched and waved the Jalur Gemilang in a parade down the two-mile route. The four floats that were decked with Malaysian flags had children and adults on board dancing and waving to the crowd. The catchy joget numbers had some passers-by dancing to the beat.

So lovely n warm in foreign country can feel the home culture n taste, I believe this is also a great chance to promote Malaysia to the eyes of the world....Can’t deny, in some area Malaysia still Boleh!

Grubby Monday

Since last Saturday that was a stink smell in the office, believe that smell was come from the air-con there. So, I dun care of it as I was only on half-day work. Today, open the door, the smell is more stronger and it comes from the ceiling above my seat..OMG…how am I going to sit for today…believe that this time must hav died mice up there again…so called the store worker to check up the ceiling, as last time there was one died up there and rotten with worms…so smelly and feel wanted to vomit… aft open up a few ceiling board to check, nothing found, my malay gal check at the air-con, open it up the smell is very strong come out from there, but still not able to found any died things…look, check, found the whole office from ceiling to floor, nothing found, but the smell really killing…

So, for the moment to lighten the killing smell, we just spray it with mosquitoes spray, hope it kills something up there…then close the ceiling board. The smell was still there, but not that strong …uurrgghh…

While we cleaned up the desk n floor space aft ceiling board open, another things come up…under the CPU server we found worms, a few…imagine how come it come out from there, there must b something died inside…it comes out on the desk a lil by lil underneath it…we not open up the cpu and check yet…today really makes d malay gal can’t concentrate at work n now she was quite geram, pity her, coz the smelly air-con n the “wormed” CPU is at her side…I can’t do anything as I also take in the bad smell with her…

Usually these creature accompany us in the office with just 2 of us, small flies, spiders, and those tiny flies which hook at those smelly things; they fly in front of ur face…so this are the things wit us…we clap our hands everyday…hav to bare wit it…coz this is a warehouse…

"Blessed"



Last Sunday, I got this brochure from Jane about this 4 girls group will come to perform in this week. I was so eager to look forward this day. As u know yesterday was “Hungry Ghost” day, but nothing can stop me from attend it.

Brief intro about them – They are 4 girls in this group named “BLESSED”. Namely Sophie, Annie, Lily and Angela. Average age 20+, all of them are from different country but being brought together to form this group 5 years ago by a Taiwanese producer name Elvis Hsu in US when he have this vision from God. All of them studied there majoring in music, dance and performance in Uni. Till today they hav came out 2 albums. Heard the “Blessed”, kinda of holy yeah and yes they all are grow in Christian more than 10 years and having much experience to serve in church. 4 of them pretty girls, having a very nice voice. The music sharing nite brought out like a mini concert, got encore ending and album signing section. They sing all 10 new songs collected in their latest albums “By Heart”. They also shared about their own background and life experience with God. Besides that, they also showing us their VCR all the way in producing this album and they are how they blessed in making this album. Can see how God’s great work in between them. You might think that they sing like traditional church songs or hyms…no, no, none of that feel at all..this album bring out all about love and care of God, which can make u quiet ur heart and relax while listening. Nothing to sing on worshiping n praising God. Just that the contented meaning all comes from God loves. I love almost all of the songs…especially “The Power of Love” in English, which sing in Acapella style. All of them hav good voice. Even those popular entertainment program producer in Taiwan are invited them to join in they entertainment interview or game show.

If u noticed on Wednesday and yesterday they are being interview on air in MYFM and Ai FM (Radio 5). These 2 days heard the song and being played. Media promoted this album out to the public like those newly release album/songs, not only limited to the churches and believer, that will be more easier to accept by young ppl.

This album release in June this year and was hit in Taiwan and US. Next stop they will be in Singapore and more others Asia country and now they are in the midst of arranging the album going in to China market. Hope more ppl can get the good news.

Not forget to bring back 2 of their albums, “Your Love Feeds my Soul” and latest one “By Heart”. At the end of the concert, v all get signed on our album. Reach home at 11.20pm, Very happy :)

Personality Test

Get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:

You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education:

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

~ Half of it are says the true, others not really.

Stay awake at work

I think you and me sure will have some tired eyes or sleepy mood during office hours. Whats more today is Monday…monday blues again…this morning when u are still in the bed..bet u have ask urself, can I hav 10 more minutes..5 more minutes?...But ur alarm clock always tells u hav to wake up…piggy :P

What makes me blog this today as I read an article from newspaper during lunch just now, and it might b helpful to the workacholics…

15 TIPS TO MAKE YOU MORE ENERGETIC DURING WORK
1. Be used to this attitude, reach the office 10 minutes earlier, blend ur own hot sugarless green tea, sniff in and taste a lil and let urself start of a brand new working day.


2. Always hav some mint or soothing throat sweets in your pouch, take one to moisture ur throat and it will helps to bring back all ur mind and soul.

3. Throw away the medical oil and changes to a baby purfume, use it as the fresh sweet smell will wake u up.

4. Try this, plug in a small fan into ur computer USB port, it allows more fresh air flow if ur surrounding the air flow is not good enough. (Preferable if it can spin out some refreshing smell). - dunno whether got sell here?

5. In the aircon room, water mist and moisture cream - a must have. Use the water mist to wake u up then moisture ur face with some cream. Remember that, feel pretty also another way to boost up ur work efficiency.

6. When u nearly going to “catch fishes”, stand up walk to the escalator or lift, go up and down for few times, professional hav proven that it simply can kill away ur sleepy mood.

7. Ur fav idol pic or some scenery that u longing for..choose any one to put as ur computer wallpaper. When u feel boring or frustrated, look at it, it might helps u to get out if it and feel good again…at least.

8. Facing problem in the mist of preparing some plans or work which u can’t get a solution yet, very irritating, do rest for a while. On ur MSN or Yahoo Messenger, find one or two fun loving fren go and chat for a while, relax and start ur work again.

9. Important client meeting which make u so tense. Dun get panic, go to the washroom, brush ur teeth and the tooth paste smell can let ur mind awake and ur smile will simply more confident.

10. Facing too long infront of computer n u might get dizzy now. Slowly get ur things on ur desk arrange it back nicely, slowly throw away the unwanted paper. While u clearing ur desk it also clearing ur mindset.

11. Extremely tired? Ready a bottle of lavender essence oil, a few drop of water n oil allows the smell flows in the air and deep breathing immediately, it make u more refreshing. Besides that, change to hav green tea instead of having coffee. The world trend now is drinking green tea as it helps in beauty and health very much. Those who loves green tea are great in reducing of bad temper.

12. Bring some snack food to share wit ur colleagues, dun forget girls friendship more or less is come from the food n chatting. Moreover, lots of the snack food can help to slow down aging and take away tiredness.

13. Work tired, hard feeling, do not rush back home. Perhaps go for Spa or foot reflexology, bringing in the essence smell and slowly let urself go into the quiet sleep mood, guarantee that tomorrow u will feel good at work.

14. Because of rushing a plan, 3 continuous days u having OT. Ur body, mind and soul may exhausted. Aft the plan over, take a sick leave and rest at home. Appropriate rest will bring more efficient in ur coming plan. I think ur boss will understand this well ya.

15. If u know tomolo u having a difficult case to handle, do sleep earlier in the nite before, second morning wake up early, well prepared ur presentation, u will feel that because u feel good, many things will go smooth and easy.

Hope the above helps u and me ;)

My weekend

Since every Saturday is a working day to me, but i still feel very happy today, the biggest reason is because the haze goneee..haze pls go..go..go....never come back...Sumatera and the local goverment pls do something and do not try to tell lies to urself and all the citizens here...u too also sucking in the air. Hope aft today clear blue sky, clean fresh air will stay forever...not sure whether this time they going to take this seriously or not...hopefully next year do not see the haze again...

I went off in the afternoon, take LRT back to Bukit Jalil and then went to Carrefour...wat else...'marketing' again la, not plan to buy many as the meat always not as fresh as in the morning market. Bought chicken fillet for tonight spegahatti and also some packed ingredient for bak kut teh, soup and steam chicken. Went home without rest, start cleaning up the house and clear all the smelly clothes and towels. By the time aft clean n cook already 6.30pm. Feel a lil bit tired. Stay in front of the TV and computer before sleep.

This is a 'housewife' Saturday.
_________________________________________________________________________

Morning wake up quite early as Brandon went to hiking while as usual i went to church. Today came a very special speaker, he is not a normal man, he is a man who have past his 17 years life on his wheelchair. In his young age he was an active athletes in 400m run. Lower part of his body hav paralyse, his hand is not able to move around much, and he also not able to sweat. Because of an accident, it took away all his living ability.

A great changes in his life, if the church pastor, bro and sis were not there to help at sunny or rainy days he were not took his courage to live till today. He shared a lot of his experience and he told us that everyday we should b feel thankful, no matter in good or bad. God do not promise sunny day, no pain n no sorrow, but thru it God guide us to hav faith in him and let us grow stronger. Today he no longer mind on how ppl look at him, God have fully recovered his broken heart n soul. God even gave him the ability to writes songs and now he hav successful came out the first album of his life, an album writes about the Lord great did to his life.

A wheelchair man can still praise and thankful to God everyday. Why not we should also be praising n thanking our God for we still living completely, coz we do not know how our days pass for the next 20, 30, 40 years..but I just know that to be faithful to God till end of the world and he will promise there are no pain, no tears n no sorrows.

Lately due to haze and now gone already, I have been done a lot of cooking that why i store some meaty in my fridge to b ready can cook at anytime..Sunday night dinner cook a lot, eat twice only can finish up the dishes, sometime 2 person very hard to cook also..hehe... Bee Moon visit me to check my wedding album again, as she was not satisfied with hers one, and also sending me her red bomb n also her wedding photo..so happy for her...

Thats was my day. Blessed…

Everyone doesn't want this

Since 10 years ago our country experience the haze, cause of the burned forest in Sumatera, and now the haze blow over to us again from the hot spot in Indonesia …aft all I believe today have break the record over the years we having the haze, when u see outside u were totally no mood…Haze situation is deteriorating…Listen to MyFM tis morning topic was not run away with haze, haze, haze... Even the call-in section also talking abt how the haze effect to u, and also talking abt the government hopefully they can take immediate action in making the rain, to protect the citizen's health.

Reading the news today the API (Air Pollutant Index) is at the unhealthy level...tomolo and friday the school will be close too...and this situation might go to dangerous level if not rain...oh God..pls pls...pls pour us rain to wash away the dirt air and give us fresh air.

Nowadays I’m not eating outside, if were to eat also look for indoor one…try to cut down n prepare my own…outdoor hawker stall food is definitely no-no…drinking a lot of herbal tea n plain water, pills for breathing system (to prevent my breath n nose problem comes back), more fruits and Vit C. I even not open up doors n windows while I at home, just to cut down the dirty air flow in.

Shop till you drop

Last Saturday aft work went to KL convention center for the PC fair…in our mind thought that nothing much can buy to our computer, but we still keen to go and n hav a look…since this time in the new venue…

Park the car at KLCC, then we walk thru the Pedestrian tunnel which link to the CC. Heaps of crowd at KLCC and CC…need to walk quite a distance to reach the PC fair hall n go up n down a few escalator…as usual we go to the accessories booth…this time the PC fair is good, spacious, more booth n ventilation is good. Thought of not buying, but still having something to grab on, coz PC fair price is always that lower compare to outlet. This time we bought blank CDs, webcam, USB bluetooth adapter, LED light and USB hub. Everything cost less than RM200. The webcam is cartoon Sin Chan design one..very cute..RM50 only..

Realizing each time in PC fair the price is getting lower n lower. Imagine now RM999 can get a Compaq HP desktop. Computer things are become cheaper n cheaper…Many great deal on speaker and sound system, flat screen LCD monitor, read-write DVD-ROM, keyboard, optical mouse, etc..many others…wah..really feel wanted to get, so attractive, but have to wait first…can’t get all in one time…shop for almost 2 hours there then came out to KLCC have our dinner…wats more? shopping again la aft that…we as usual walk separately…he go on his own…coz go together normally we can’t get much things…so I walk a while at Isetan, then go to some other shops outside n Parkson…but seems not much discount in others…aft 2 hours wondering around, I’m back in empty hand, but Brandon bought 2 tops and 4 singlets all at Isetan…this man hav plenty shirts ok! 3 wardrobe in the room and he occupied 2 of it….>:] back home already 10.30pm…clean the house, wash the cloth. By the time went to bed already 1am, no time to watch TV. Tired..tired…

Sunday afternoon continue at Mid Valley….traffic jam and lots of ppl, shop for almost 2 hours alone..managed get 1 jeans and 1 sport pant…my budget for this shopping spree was RM 300, still can go somemore..hoho ;)

Shocking

Was having gathering yam cha wit Yan and nikki aft gym at Sri Petaling...so great to see them once again...especially nikki, since long time not meet each other...we all chatted a lot..knowing from nikki, my ex was asking her out..tat was surprise of me...as i know all this while both of them still contact aft we broke off ...he wan her to do him a favour ...from her is good that I can know how he is living now. He even told nikki that I not recognise him as got once we opposite walk by passing each other and look at each other (at that time i was on duty, thats why we just pass by). Well, he not greet me at all…just like stranger walk by only..I think that he still very passive..many time i still ICQ msg him..and his reply was always short n cold.....i think till today he still having some kind of anger wit me. Since we broke off, we not even hav any verbally contact and we r like totally stranger....I hope that I won’t see him again at anywhere...previously I got 3 times saw him back on the street...but only that the one time we see wit each other, other times I just saw him, he not saw me.....well..watever la….everything is history..just wish him well...

Sometime i think that, is it end of a lover relationship, means end of everything? Wan to find out how u handle this kind of end of love relationship bond? for some they kept each other as good fren/closed fren, some like me can b totally stranger, for some quietly walk out of it n let time take place to fade away all the connection...of coz we wouldn't not forget tat person in our life time becoz they hav once came into our life....I prefer to keep them as a fren n would not go back for the relationship once it broken...my this ex is the only one who refuse to b fren...Yan told me her ex inviting her over to his wedding dinner...i just told her that do whatever u feel good...u know that kind of cross feeling is not that feel good...

Yesterday was exchanging emails with my ex-male colleague, who was sitting next to me last time and we used to be in the same team...in the email he told me on this year end is xxx big day. As I can't read the "xxx"which typed in chinese character n display funny character. When he replied, he said that it was HIS big-day...wat a shock to me...i really so surprise...this guy used to be very quiet, talk soft n shy....until we gals need to ask him to speak louder when he talked...hahaha.. and he used not to disclosed any of his relationship to us...all the while what we know was he do not hav any relationship...hhmm..very sudden ahh...and not forget at the same time congratulated him...u see..guys is always like tat, they like to surprise u and always keep things in deep secret...looking at my list..another BOMB!!

Family day

Last Saturday was my cousin sis wedding. Those relatives from my mum's side were came down from Ipoh to attend her wedding dinner. Most of them were over night at my Puchong's house. The house was so pack, until the dining room and all bedrooms were occupied. They wan to pack together is because they wan to chit-chat n get close. Everytime when we all met up they sure chit-chat until midnite...coz in a year we only met few times if there is occasion else we only met once during CNY....the last all my relatives met was during my wedding...

I so miss of my dearie nephew and niece from Ipoh...everytime I know they came I'll be very happy looking forward to see them...they are very small just 1 and 2 y.o kids..

Dinner held at Serdang. As usual dinner time starts aft 8.30pm..we got plenty of time chatting before the dinner starts...looking all my nieces and nephews growing up i feel like I very old and wanted to hav my own one faster..so that point of FAQ they wan to find out was coming to me every now and then when I met my cousins, uncle n aunty.

The next day morning, my family brought them to have breakfast at OUG. Later in the afternoon, most of them will go back to Ipoh...They dun hav much time to stay long in KL since my cousin's children need to go to school on the next day..no choice everytime they need to come late and go early..so left only one of my aunty, cousin sis n the young kids with us....ohh..so lovely they both...try to look at this, we were look similiar during small...I only found out this when my aunty told me..the more she grow up the more she look like me....


Do we look similiar?


Now she was 2 y.o very lovely gal..she like to stick to me and talk to me..she can well defferentiate all the relatives very well...below is her brother, Dickson..a lovely boy too...at this age he likes to run n move around, this is the only pic i can well capture of him...


We went The Curve, not able to buy anything as the children is follow...need to follow them closely coz they can ran faster than u...so my cousin sis n her husband just window shop a while for some house things as their house ready soon at Mutiara Damansara. We got to visit this flea market stall...not many as compared to Mont' Kiara one..dunno why I got this impression how good if can sell something here...things sell are like cakes, ladies accessories, local traditional wear n accessories..are all simple one..I think some of them are hand-made, especially those ladies accessories..suddently something flash over my mind, thought of shirlyn who can make these crystal accessories very well .why not she set up one here, just during the weekend....n so coincidence she also mention abt this in her blog..i got this strong feel to help her if she were doing it...dunno if she mind not.. :P

Aft spending 1.5 hours there, children was like tired n sleepy, so we decide to go home. But we were hungry at that time coz we hav't took our lunch. Then we proceed to SS2 to hav some light food, then straight away go home to sleep...since tomolo they will back to Ipoh, so at night we treat them a dinner near Tesco Puchong there.

Aft dinner they dun wan to go home yet, and since my family fetching me back home so they all follow me back to my house to visit a while. Aft all, this family day was simply warm n nice...till we met again...may b next yr CNY...

Law of the Seed

Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree, but each apple has just ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds! We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple trees?" Nature has something to teach us here. It's telling us: "Not all seeds grow. In life, most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once."

This might mean: You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job. You'll interview forty people to find one good employee. You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, one car, one vacuum cleaner, one insurance policy, or a business idea. And you might meet a hundred acquaintances just to find one special friend. When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so disappointed. We stop feeling like victims. We learn how to deal with things that happen to us. Laws of nature are not things to take personally. We just need to understand them - and work with them.

IN A NUTSHELL: Successful people fail more often. But they plant more seeds. When Things Are Beyond your control, here's something that you must NOT DO so as to avoid misery in your life:

- You must not decide how you think the world SHOULD be.

- You must not make rules for how everyone SHOULD behave.

Then, when the world doesn't obey your rules, you get angry. That's what miserable people do! On the other hand, let's say you expect that:

- Friends SHOULD return favours.

- People SHOULD appreciate you.

- Planes SHOULD arrive on time.

- Everyone SHOULD be honest.

- Your husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday.

These expectations may sound reasonable. But often, these things won't happen! So you end up frustrated and disappointed. There's a better strategy. Demand less, and instead, have preferences! For things that are beyond your control, tell yourself: "I would prefer "A", but if "B" happens, it's OK too!" This is really a change in mindset. It is a shift in attitude, and it gives you more peace of mind ...: You prefer that people are polite ... but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your day. You prefer sunshine...but if it rains, it is ok too!

To become happier, we either need to change the world or change our thinking. It is easier to change our Thinking! In summary: It is not the problem that is the issue, but rather it is your attitude attending to the problem that is the problem. It's not what happens to you that determine your happiness. It's how you think about what happens to you!

Life FAQ

Have you ever wonder you hav been answered many of these FAQ many times along the way you growing up? Sometime your respond may b silent, coz you dun hav an answer yet. Or, we bring out another topic to cross over this question, coz u dun wan to answer…Sometimes if you were to respond, our answer may disappoint them for that time being and makes them keep on asking. Some ppl may wan to keep it low, better than if ur answer disappointed them. But, no matter how u dun like to answer it, how many time the same person ask u again n again…for those who care about u they are still very keen to find out aft a while they not see u. hehe…don’t u know indirectly we ourselves have also asking a lot of these question to others?

Below are the common questions I faced: -
1. Still study? in Standard what? Form?
2. Hows ur exam result? How many ‘A’s u hav? (very pressure la)
3. Which Uni /College u go? Majoring in?
4. Still study? How many years more to complete?
5. Working already? Where and what u work as? Salary how much now?
6. Got boyfriend already?
7. When u get married? (aft u hav steady relationship)
8. When to get baby? (right aft married)
9. When u hav more to come? (aft u got 1st child..)
:

I think until the last point, your ppl ard u may start to slow down in finding out the coming FAQ.

That’s what a life growing process. Currently u know I’m stuck at which point ya…lately a lot of ppl wan to find this out….I dunno how long I need to repeat this answer to the same person n to those who wan to find out… my response was just let it happen as it goes…be patient.. :)
