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!

Wireless home

Last Saturday after work, we went down to low yat plaza to get our wireless connection ready since we hav the streamyx connection. We actually were a bit blur on how to configure it and the wireless device we suppose to get. The day before Brandon was trying to check out wit his fren, but his fren seems giving blur info also…ok nvm..so we got down there to check and ask for it…finally we got it…

We got a wireless modem and actually its also a router and a USB wireless stick 54 Mbps, size like a thumb drive. That’s what makes the wireless connection. Both things cost RM 360. Since when registered for the streamyx we’ve got a modem, and now we can’t used that…if we know it, then we shouldn’t get their modem…the modem not really good ..makes the connection not smooth for the last few days…now we change it and it is much better.

We both blur blur configure it…test here n there..just to try out, coz we also dunno how to do it…Aft a while later we only get it done. We found out that the connection can’t restricted only to 2 users. So the SSID need to put as "any" then only can connect to the wireless point…Wireless modem can support 4 hubs and abt 200 wireless connection at the same time…so imagine if next door do not hav wireless modem and happen they use it like Wi-Fi they can connect using our modem..

The wireless modem allow either to used LAN cable or used wireless stick. So my desktop was the one need to use the stick to connect. If were to bring outside the stick also can plug in to laptop. Upon configuring it…my desktop really gives me problem. Thought of format my desktop since last year coz the operating system was not really stable n it does not allow to install Ms. Office. Now, aft the wireless stick install the problem is more…Internet Explorer problem, hardware setting and corruption error and also my CD-ROM spoilt this time..haii…so I was so frustrated when using it…

Try to re-install the hardware again, the same problem happen also. So my not-so-stable pc is time to format. Brandon scarifies his sleeping time to format my pc and re-install others software until this morning 4.30am. Unfortunately my backup data stored in the partition drive was being deleted when formatting. Luckily not so much, only those photos which haven’t been developed. Only 60% are done, still hav some to install to make it perfect for me..at the moment hopefully it can work fine. The connection was fast. 12MB data can download it in 10 min.

Mega Sales just started, that day aft dinner we went over to Isetan, but can't manage to get any. May b too rush n tired..can't see anything nice...

Read the news today, coming PC fair will be held at KL Convention centre on Aug 5th - 7th. 5000 parking space available, more booth and spacious this time compared to last round.

We met

Finally we met yesterday night aft gym. Since last we met..we always plan to met but always end up i left early and she came late...soo no chance to c each other...yesterday night, she sms me at 7pm, aft my shower when I almost go off, I just read her sms...that time was 8.20pm..so I called her, tot she can't pick up my call, may b she already in the class, who knows she just reach the carpark...so ok la..me and Brandon decided to eat at Wong Kok café, so we were there to wait for Amy...

so we dismiss and hopefully we can go workout again...Nice to meet you, Amy..

Finally connected...

We have been waiting for Streamyx connection since the day we shift in. Ppl always thought that my area should having it for the reason of those smart centre are there, in fact not. The installer told us if area do not hav high request, connection won't on for all. So, finally we got it connected yesterday night. Currently we connect it using the laptop later when I bring back my desktop will think of getting a wireless hub, so that both can be use. Was so excited to used the Internet, as pages are loaded fast, download fast, everything fast. Yesterday night I was using the Internet for 3 hours, not that long before since shift in. Last time the snail connection u'll feel rather dun use it..wasting time wait for it to load >_<

I was uploading all the wedding day photo that I promised I want to do, and check all those thousand k above emails...finally finish...may b tonight or by weekend the Beijing trip photo will all upload.

Thinking that now we like no time for TV. The Astro channel only got to watch it during weekend...and now may b the Streamyx also use not more than 24 hrs. in a week. But things are still need to pay...fitness stop for 1 month oready, not freeze it..still need to pay....money used are faster than pouring water..

Shopping kaki, this month end till beginning Sept. was Mega Sales. Broke!

CF findings....

Yesterday was gym at California fitness for the first time. Well, not so used to the environment there, very warm, can sweat very fast, ventilation is not really good if the workout area is full. Everywhere full with mirror. They only have plain water dispenser, no TV and earphone. Quite many ppl too. Many faces from Maxis and SPK are there too, not sure they are registered member there or just went to trial. Many instructor and standing around ready to help u, the machine are slightly huge in size. Some machines are very new which FF does not have it. Each type of body part machine, they have at least more than 1. The night the Group-X class was Body Combat and Body Step (Advance/Intermediate) all are experienced one, mostly from FF even the instructor too. I not really enjoy the workout there, so aft workout like 1 ½ hour I went shower.

The restroom now. Changing room and shower area are at one end of another. Both they dun have door for you to close, only a piece of soft plastic, upper head part are blur semi-transparent and shoulder downward was in gray color covered. Many shower rooms and changing room, each shower area quite small. The floor at shower area was always wet and water are clog at one end with hairs, feels dirty. Changing and comb area are together, there were many big big mirror. No slipper and plastic bag provided. Locker you need to bring your own padlock to lock, to prevent the key being duplicated. I feel very inconvenient to me. The lockers are in ‘L’ shape, very hard to put our belonging in. Many lockers there but all located at inconvenient place. If u were to used the locker near to the shower area, toilet/hand washing, changing room and comb area for u would at another end and also the other way round. The sauna and steam room was big. Unfortunately the steam room was out of service. At the comb area they have this things like, hair gel, hand lotion, cotton buds, facial cotton pad and tissues…this one was pretty convenient to gals ya...

hhmm..looks like i'm having problem with their restroom...I still prefer back to my FF..tomolo will go again...my temp 7 days VIP pass exprired on next Monday.

Passionate

Since Brandon last won the California Fitness 1 month VIP pass he hasn’t used it, so yesterday we went to check out the thing at Menara Standard Chartered. Thought that he only let him used for 1 month, so Brandon just try to check whether can gain another pass for me to join with him, the instructor so kind, he let me go for 7 days trial…After that we fill up forms, we need to go to the Personal Training room to do height, weight and body fat check. The procedure was so detail taken. After check all that, he also analysis what we need to do to achieve ideal body muscle and strength and also the instructor introduce what are the kind of personal training they have. Of course they not forget to briefly tell us about the membership and joining fees…This coming week I’ll having my 7 days trial, while Brandon might got for one month long. So bad…1 month already I didn’t back to my own FF liow..monthly fee wasted..

So coincidence I recognize one of the lady sales person from FF, Leisure Mall worked in California as sales too. Just chat with her for a while, according to her she said not nice working in FF in the way they treat the staff. She was there is because CF recruit her from FF (wow, really competitive). So she briefly tells me what are the benefits joining California and she said they are very strict in select instructor. What so special was they have a lady workout and stretching area, guy are strictly prohibited. This is good for the gals so that they dun feel embarrass when they do stretching or workout.

California Fitness have occupy 5th floor, spacious, modern design. 1st floor personal training room, 2nd floor – 4th floor are all the workout and cardio area. They only have 1 group exercise studio, which situated at 2nd floor, it is very big. 5th floor only the Restroom..Bath towel are provided free without extra payment. They do not have Juice Bar and VCD rental. Overall quite ok with the facilities and ppl there. Membership fees compare to FF comes slightly cheaper, just that location we dun like.

Extremely wanted to watch movie Initial-D since the day it was shown in the cinema, but till today the show time is still always full…we even go telephone advance booking, still hardly get. That was very bad coz only TGV can have that movie on. Yesterday try to bought tickets from counter at KLCC TGV, you know the queue lane (special for Initial-D and War of the World only) were go far until the Aunty Annie there. So we continue to check out the availability seat for all the 11 showtime from the screen, that time we queue up was 3.30pm the screen shows the seat only available at 8.50pm (and that hour also running fast already)..Gosh! how to wait until that hour..so we decided to left. We took our meals there then we went home. Later we do advance telephone booking for tomorrow night 11pm..finally got it..can’t wait anymore..hehe…Due to having cold yogurt drink in the morning, yesterday whole day my stomach was not right. At last I’m having diarrhea in the evening and makes me can’t took any dinner.

Hows yesterday...

Yesterday was my papa birthday, went home to dinner wit him wit my mum's cook...nothing is good enough to go back to see him...he was so happy...with everyone dine wit him...aft dinner we chit chat and watch TV...

Brandon not join in as he went to fitness and club at Rum Jungle till late..aft dinner I went home myself, coz he gonna to be late...Yesterday night Rum Jungle having an event organised by California fitness, Brandon won himself 1 month free VIP membership pass by answering a few questions...

Again was checking the Beijing weather, gosh!! read from paper it was 40’C yesterday and humidity less than 30%. Mum keep on reminded me to take care when I was there and pray more wherever I go and also in the hotel….and also I will not forget to get a travel PA for that 8 days coverage by tomolo….just to make sure I'm ok and also do not let parents worried us...

Reach home already 1230, manage to get things ready for tomolo and clean the house a bit before sleep...dunno how come yesterday d floor was so dusty...

Esther just got back from China and was back to Kuching hometown, my fren (Teng) was going over to visit her cum tour around...and they ask me out for gathering once all of them back to KL...well not so soon fren, aft my trip ya..

Ooppss...you did it again!

Yesterday night, while watching TV aft dinner at FIL place, it suddenly blackout for 2 seconds, then electric recover. After that we decided to go, Brandon went SPK fitness aft he dropped me at KLCC to do shopping. Once I get into the KLCC entrance, eeii..how come so many ppl standing outside the entrance and shops are all closed? That time was only 7.45pm, shops entrance are blocked.. only corridor have lights are on, then only I realized..is blackout for the building…my goodness hotspot also kena blackout incident…why TNB did again?…many ppl are waiting and lofting outside…so I just walk around and stand here n there, waiting for the electricity recover. After half an hour waiting, partially shops electricity recovered, so they re-open their doors for business again, then I still waiting for Isetan to re-open. Yesterday was Isetan seasons end sales, start from 22nd – 30th June. I faster get in to buy some stuff for travel, a sling bag, MNG shirts (up to 50%-70% sales ya!), undiess, belt and also renew IMC card. While blackout, ppl who look aft their shop entrance are busy explaining to their customer for the incident.

While wondering around during blackout I heard a lot of tourist and also local ppl complain about the incident. My first impression was how come no backup generator and make it cause whole world stop? hhmm…TNB need to review what they are doing…not once but many times…are they doing their work?? Dunno….

This morning open up paper read the special edition about KL big blackout, it cause by one of the electric generator/ transmission house burn and blackout at Bkt. Bintang area. Many shoplots at that area are closed early and lost business as that incident happen is peak hour at night…it takes 2 hours to recover…this incident cause TNB lost of 500 million, well what about others??

While driving back from KL partial highway also blackout, and at MRR2 near to Sri Petaling, we saw ur side like blackout also, and we thought that tonite we need to sleep without fan tonight…eei..who knows we not kena…ohh…good..sweet dream…

Get set

Yesterday aft work, went again to the tour office to get back our passport with Visa stamped, free gift towel and travel bag and also the information the exact time of depart and return…

Since few days ago, I already start packing up, buy all the necessary stuff and check on the weather forecast from Internet. Besides that I also ask more about the place there, like where the tour guide likes to bring you to buy things, where can buy, where not worth to buy and also place to visit and etc…yeah although the brochure there written all in detail for each day, but exact scene is not that wonderful, get to know more as a pre-caution. All this I asked from my schmate, she was ex-tour guide from Marco Polo…

Just check, in Beijing is Summer season, the weather highest 37’C and lowest 23’C. Hot than KL, humidity 34%, while KL is 74%. Means dry n hot there…^_^ and go further on check for coming 5 days weather forecast was, weather cool down, and it is rainy day n storm…goodness!!!…hope this won’t gonna be true, coz I try tally the KL forecast with our current weather it was not that accurate too…

Seems like I quite excited to go, counting down the day…5 more days to go as this is my first time go on International flight…my target of this trip, is to do some shopping, not on local product but on some branded accessories, hope I got time to make it…of coz most important we can find the way…gonna read more info about it..

Happy Father's Day!

Both of us give father a small gift. 10 of us, we spend 2 hours eating there. It is so nice that have everyone there, looking at them happily chatted.

Now he work more relax, not like last time when we r kid he need to strive for more income to survive the family. Now we all are grown up and can feed ourselves, he slow down a lot. For the past years I working outside, he fetch me everyday aft work no matter sunny or rainy days. He never turn us down, he support whatever we do and he working very hard for my year study in college. Once I need anything he will try to look for me..without worries he will make it for me…Dad you are great, you are fantastic!

He is a humorous dad, likes to joke wit us, u can’t find a single strict face on him, he likes to make everyone around him laugh and happy. That’s why whenever his friend got problem he will try to offer his help if he can. Sometime he tells us story of his daily customer and those funny funny customer he pick…even got once a customer compliment him thru The Star paper for his good did…he likes to make fren with his regular customer.

That was the last sms I got from my mobile...Thank you all of ur remembrances on my special day...and not forget shirlyn n Steph from Via comm :) God bless all of u...

In the evening, I cooked a simple dinner while waiting Brandon back from work, before he reached home he called me and ask me to dress up and he will brought me to the TVB8 Live concert (by various artist) at Bintang Walk. At first I though we can't make it coz cannot get the ticket elsewhere...so since he got it at last minute then we decided to go..I quickly took a shower n dinner then we go...

Imagine 60 thousands ppl (dunno whether is correct, Fish Leong said one..) packed at Bintang Walk, watching a concert, only VIP can sit all others r stand…very pack and very hot, we manage to reach there 20 min later with a lil jam at my area…ticket written start at 7pm, end up start at 8.30pm..waited for so long…this is culture…free things won’t b on-time…is ok..used to it…

When it start ppl are more and more…Youth and Sports Ministry hav a short speech for opening. The purpose of this concert is ‘Say no to drugs’. Hacken Lee start of the night singing 2 songs and he manage to bring up the crowd…scream and ho haa...here n there…followed by Fish Leong sing 3 songs, then when 3 malay singer coming up, I also dunno who r they, then those ppl down there start to show dun like and the crowd ho haa also stop….the show continue with various Taiwan, HK, China and Malaysia singer to perform. The flow of the whole concert is very slow…can’t wait other of my fav singer come up, we can’t stand the anymore the pack n humid …so we went home before the concert end around 10.30pm..

So, this is how my year 2005 - 26th birthday passed. Although no cake, no big celebrate, I still treasure it with all ppl who cares me and also can b with my love one is more important than many other things…

Lastly, my simple birthday wishes…Brandon love me more and more, mummy and daddy hav a healthy body, and also everybody in peace.

Tian Hong & Phaik Li

Last Saturday (4th June) went to Penang to attend my ex-colleagues’s wedding…Due to Alice (my ex-supervisor) fall sick early in the morning, so we go a bit late, we manage to start our journey at 11am...All the way at the highway was going very slow and some part even traffic jam…aft 6 ½ hours in the car finally reach Penang at 5.30pm, the City Bayview Hotel where the dinner held and also the place we stay. Dinner at 7pm. Thought the wedding dinner culture is different from KL, who knows also the same at KL start at 8.30pm…Foods some ok some average…The dinner to me is like a gathering with old colleagues and some colleagues who left the company before me…we just chit-chat n exchange our recent life…at the dinner karaoke section was prepared for us and also some songs from the karaoke MC…we do snap some photo with the bride..she was so busy..got to change 3 costume…Penang kia all are in Hokkien ..poor me…I dunno Hokkien…so always hav to ask May what they / MC saying…hahaha……everythings end at 11am…by the time very sleep and tired also…actually got intention to go to the pub behind the hotel to have some drinks…but seems like everyone wan to rest early for the next day..so everybody rest early…I have a good slept there, but my poor friend can’t really sleep well…

The next day, too nice to sleep until we can’t enjoy much on the breakfast buffet …we took a lil bit then hav to rush to bride’s house…Bridegroom reach at 9.30am and he was so excited to catch her bride…until he and those heng dai can’t really eat the light refreshment for them…so lets see what the ji mui prepared for them….(I’m one small part of them..no leading in negotiating) Got a rule here, before starting must be “No Hokkien” very funny, once they speak hokkien have to eat 1 slide of plain bread, mainly cos those ji mui dunno hokkien…

1. Heng dai have to finish a loaf of bread….so they distribute to each other…the bread is nothing…plain one, but they only can finish it without drinking water.
2. Sing song, sing it loud until the bride satisfied it…poor bridegroom dunno how to sing song, but he also very co-operate to sing it..with a heng dai leading beside him…
3. Eat spring roll without using hand, thinks that easy, the heng dai very shy to do it…but it is very fun..we ji mui laugh n laugh. Both heng dai start bitting one end and eat toward going each other and kiss in the center part…very funny also..
4. Then, go upstair. Bridegroom hav to used his lip to kiss a love shape on a piece of paper, with his lip apply lipstick to it…
5. Later, hav to find where is the brides, there was 3 rooms up there….we won’t lead him to the correct room, he have to select the room by slotting in the love lips down the door, to ask the bride whether she like it or not…so I’m the one to push back the paper to let him know, she dun like it…without open the door…so he went to other room to check…he also dunno whether he got the correct room until I came out from the “no bride room” to ask him, where u go, ur wife is here!!…then he was so excited to came over to check, who knows that was his flower gal…haha…kena fool…
6. Q & A time, then again sing a song “Tell Laura (Phaik Li) I love her”

That’s how the ji mui let him in….tang..tang..tang..tang..another friend is married… Penang wedding culture, they got 2 wedding car, guy 1 car n girl 1 car, with their own ppl…when they are leaving to bridegroom’s house..
After she go, around 11am we travel came back to KL. On the way back quite smooth, no jam nor slow down, we even go in to Ipoh old street to taste the Ipoh Sar Hor Fun, Ipoh tau geh, rojak and popiah as our lunch. Safety reach KL at 17:20.
