You ain't heavy, you are my son.

Let me start today by telling you one of the most touching story I have seen. It is a true story about Team Hoyt.

A son says to his father: 'Dad, would you be willingly to run a marathon with me?'
The father, despite his age and a heart disease, says 'YES'.
And they run that marathon, together.

The son asks: 'Dad, can you run another marathon with me?'
Again father says 'YES'.
They run another marathon, together.

One day the son asks his father: Dad would please do the Iron Man with me?'
(Now just in case you wouldn't know, 'The Iron Man' is the toughest triathlon in existence; 4km swimming, then 180 km by bike, and finally another 42 km running, in one stroke).
Again his father says 'YES'

Maybe this doesn't 'touch' you yet by your heart strings... until you see this clip below and turn on the sound

My Redeemer Lives

Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes

As I was flipping through the pages, I stumble across one of the UK No1 cleanser brand. That I soon went out to get a sample for testing. It was as good as it was crowned! Worthy of my penny so I have decided to pen it down for readers. The product that I would recognized is a product of Accantia Health & Beauty Ltd. It is called the “Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes“.



As we all know, perfect moisturizing is essential for healthy, radiant skin and great cleansing prepares the way to obtaining that result. Therefore, it is a crucial matter when it comes to choosing the “right” product to take care of our skin.

For cleansing, I would personally recommend “Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes”. This is as the facial wipes I mention, I would say is effective and quick from my personal experience. You would not believe the result of it! It refreshes and tone our skin while removing all make-up and it even waterproof mascara! Not only so, there are a few other things you should note about this product, which is as below:-

• Basically, it has no perfume and no colouring,
• Most importantly, it is suitable for sensitive skin such as mine as the product ph balanced works in harmony with our skin
• Besides that, Simple is 100% oil free, leaving skin with no greasy residue
• It is also 100% alcohol free which gives us with non-drying, soft and supple skin
• Generally, It is dermatologically tested and approved
• And finally it is a skincare product that contains no animal derived ingredients.

Ps: While using a skincare product, always remember to take note of a product expiration date. This is as we do not want to use expire product on our skin. The chemicals may change due to time and cause damages to our delicate skin.

EPF 8% Means Paying More Income Tax ( For High Income Group )

Assume monthly basic salary is RM4000.

- If your monthly EPF contribution is 11% ( RM440 ), taxable income = RM3560, income tax payable = RM77.
- If your monthly EPF contribution is 8% ( RM320 ), taxable income = RM3680, income tax payable = RM109.

Conclusion : If you choose to contribute 8%, you will end up paying more
income tax to the government, which will make the government richer. Finance Minister Najib said this measure is meant to boost up the slow-down market, but from this example we see that the money does not go into the market. Instead the money goes direct into the government's pocket throug the greater amount of income tax that we will have to pay. Obviously this measure does not help the market at all. Do we still want this kind of government that doesn't have the best interest of the people in mind?

THAT is the exact same conversation besides the name being modify. I have had plenty of conversations like this. It leaves me totally speechless. I don't want to know what credit card gives what... I'm working for god's sake! Are you jobless or something?! Because I have got to work!

Eventually from (- -??) I became (- - ''')

My 7th Uncle



This is my 7th uncle. He is originally from Johor but has been staying in Singapore all this while. He is older now. I think he should be about 70 as well. He loves all of us very much. See how happy he sees us? He even asked me to snap a few more for him. He earns a living driving the lorry; he is a lorry driver.



This is the tool that feeds him. His lorry!

It is a very tough life for him. Let me tell you a short story about his family:-

He has 3 sons. 1 well educated and the other 2 averagely educated. It’s not his son’s education we are talking about here. It is that he has 3 (I am so sorry to use this word I couldn’t not think of any that might not sound so harsh) USELESS but educated children and 1 USELESS wife. This is a short description about them. They are educated but incapable of differentiating the right from wrong.

1. His children will ask him to scoop out money for them to get married and etc. They would ask him to finance the entire household in Singapore. They even thought their own children (my uncle’s grandchildren) to always ask money from him. His wife did the same too. If asking money is not a problem, let me tell you more of what happen in the family.

2. When he is sick, his wife! Does not even bother. When he has no money to see doctor his own son and family does not even offer him a little money to visit the doctor… They of all people are all grown up, with hands to work, could not even scoop out a 50 dollar bill… HOPELESS!

3. He would buy the household groceries (rice and etc) they would cook the dinner, finish it, and left him none for dinner. My uncle has to starve. My uncle feed the spoil brats brats (Grandchildren) as well! That their own parents didn’t bother spending a dime to feed their own children.

4. My uncle has no savings as his wife would check every corner everywhere for any single penny. He used to give ALL his salary to his trusted wife and yet his wife treated him like a prisoner like a dog... with no respect. They are greedy.

5. They would quarrel badly that my uncle has to hide chain at the shoe rack for safety. Or even lock him out of his own house…

Many things happen to him. I pity him very much and of course I loved him very much as well. He’s a man that saves a lot for the rainy day. Tried very hard to provide a lot to the family but yet taken for granted. He works very hard daily. He doesn’t keep other women and is very loyal to his wife despite of all the bad treatments from the family.

He’s the man! Worthy of my respect! My wish for him is only the best. Take care my dear uncle. His words for me that day was “study hard so you don’t have to be like me”

80/20 Rule - Lesson of Love

This is food for thought for many of us... enjoy!! A very valuable lesson to learn …
Interesting quote from the movie 'Why did I get married?'

In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT in your relationship. There is always another person (man or woman) that you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is lacking in your relationship that you WANT. And believe me, 20% looks really good when you are not getting it at all in your current relationship.

But the problem is that you will always be tempted to leave that good 80% that you know you have, thinking that you will get something better with the other 20% that you WANT.

But as reality has proven, in most cases, you will always end up with having the 20% that you WANT and loosing the 80% that you really NEED and that you already had. Be careful in deciding between what you WANT and NEED in your life.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. 'Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is not.'

Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have greater sex appeal. And you will find a woman or man who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did.

Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only have 80% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 20%. Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature.

You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laugh no matter what she says: 'I broke my arm yesterday, hahahaha ...'

Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pajamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt. Or because your husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.

But wait! That's only 20% of what you don't have.

Don't throw away the 80% that you already have!

That's not all. Add to your spouse's 80% the 100% that represents all the years that you have been with each other. The storms you have weathered together. The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple. The many adjustments you have made to love the other. The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.
But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you already have.

But I'm not just talking about marriage. I'm talking about life!
About your jobs.
About your friends.
About your children.
About your lifestyles.

Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks through the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's missing? 'They have got more leg room! Oh my, their food is served in porcelain! Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've got personal videos!'

I guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip! Don't live your life like that. Forget about what the world says is first class. Do you know that there are many first class passengers who are miserable in first class -- because they are not riding in a private Lear Jet?

The main message???

If you start appreciating what you have right now, wherever you are, you are first class!

Husband and Wife 1

Dear Wife:


I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for good. I've been a good man to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it. These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and that was the last straw. Last week, you came home and didn't even notice that I had gotten a new hair cut, cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You came home and ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don't tell me you love me anymore, you don't want sex anymore or anything. Either you’re cheating on me or you don't love me anymore, whatever the case is, I’m gone.


Your EX-Husband

P.S. Don't try to find me. Your SISTER and I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!



Dear Ex-Husband -

Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good man is a far cry from what you've been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining and griping. Too bad that doesn't work. I did notice when you got a hair cut last week, the first thing that came to mind was "You look just like a girl!" but my mother raised me not to say anything if you can't say anything nice. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago. I turned away from you when you had those new silk boxers on because the price tag was still on them. I prayed that it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning ... and your silk boxers were $49.99. After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out.

So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason I guess.

I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that with your letter that you wrote, you won't get a dime from me. So take care.



Signed

Rich As Hell and Free!

P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this but Carla, my sister, was born Carl. I hope that's not a problem.

Today: November 14, 2008

Today is my second Friday in BDO. I have decided to update a clearer version photo of the view from my cubical. In the picture below, you can see a cup with many teddy bear. It is a cup from Kah Seong. Well it is not a direct present but it is a Christmas exchange gift back then in Accenovate. Now, I use it daily to practice drinking my 2 liters of water.

Sunday, November 9, 2008

Today: November 10, 2008

Today November 10, 2008 is the second Monday of working in BDO. Today I brought McD “Hello Kitty -work hard” doll to work. This is a doll given by my dear friend Lewis from Hong Kong back then when I was working in Accenovate. I brought it to work today. I believe it is to encourage me to continuously work hard while working lol…



In this picture is the Hello Kitty doll in orange dress. From here you can see it is sitting on my cubical table on the phone. Behind is “the office”. Somewhere on the left near the brown cupboard is the exit. Well, behind me? Is where all the Director’s are.

My 6th Uncle



Above is my 6th uncle (The 6th brother of my mom). Saw him on the third day on the trip in Johor with mom. Me and my siblings call him “Aku” in mandarin. He works in Johor Baru if I am not mistaken… Well couldn’t remember much of him though besides going back to visit him every new year. He’s a grandpa now and age about 70++. Lastly, he looks tan and smiley!

As you know, vegetable generally known as the edible parts of plants can basically be planted at home. His past time includes managing his garden of vegetables. Some of the vegetables, such as carrots, bell peppers and celery, are eaten either raw or cooked; while others are eaten only when cooked.

This is how his mini garden looks like:-




Please see below the snapshots on some of many kind of vegetables planted. Some I don’t even know what it is called maybe you can help by providing me the names ;) TQ. :-



1) Lady fingers also known as the Okra.



2) Aloe vera



3) Ground nuts (To see this, you will need to pull this plant out! Haha)



4) Small chili



5) Ribena Flower (According to my uncle, he say it is used to make Ribena juice)



6) Don’t know what you call this, the Malays eat it raw whilst the Chinese eat is simple cook. I think its call the "serai" is it?

** Thanks Billy, yes I've forgotten it. Its name is Season bean!



7) This is a fruit. Don’t know what it is called as well. But it’s a fruit that can be eaten and the inside looks like a soursop!.

** Billy I also know this is "how mow lao lin" hahaha Just don't know what it is called in English ;p

Sincerely, I do encourage planting as a hobby. If it is vegetables, BETTER! You can eat home planted vegetables whereby not only it is healthier, you also don’t have to waste time purchasing all from the market. I encourage mom to do the planting too ;) I think I should spend some time to get my hands dirty!

November 8, 2008

I opened my computer cupboard upstairs in sister’s room today. In it were huge findings. Among the things I found in the cupboard includes:-

• Bracelets, necklaces and jade given by my late grandmother… It reminds me of how much love she has for me “although” the most loved in the family is still the younger one with “one eye snake”.
• In there I found a musical box in yellow. I tried my best to recall who was it from? I think it is from Patricia Yap. Someone I thought fondly of. Drifted and lost contact after high schools and got contacted again while studying in KTAR after that, gone again… Jesus Christ! I’m so bad in keeping contacts! But from facebook, I see you are doing great and I’m glad to know you are!
• Parker pen with the box and casing nicely intact. I know this is definitely from mommy! She gave it to me when I was having my UPSR. I can’t believe the pen is still nicely kept in the box and I totally forgotten about it…
• A pair of Kenji earrings. It is from one of my ex. Liked it very much and didn’t want to wear it… I wonder how is he now. We separated not on good terms.
• A bracelet again from another ex. As my wrist was too small I could not wear it… It is still nicely kept in its original box along with grandmothers jade bracelets and necklace.
• A letter knife that I use to liked a lot. It is still nice and shining. The knife’s design is plain and simple. I think the number of letters open by it should be less than 20 after so many years of keeping. “lol”
• A mini bus from my younger brother… Must have been because you were often very naughty sometimes the good deeds done by you were neglected. Looking at the bus reminds me the human side of you. I’m very sorry my dear brother. I still love you as much but I think I’ve started to neglect you too. From the difficult time you gave us, it’s hard to think of you but yet not feeling frustrated. In the end, we couldn’t even bother much anymore… We’ve been thinking so much for you I think its time for you to be independent.
• Gifts from sister’s younger days. Such as bricks from visits, key chains, shells and etc.
• A doll from Kim Fatt. He bought it when he was eating beef noodles. It’s been a long time since I heard from you too. After you married you couldn’t even keep contact with us because she’s a quick to jealous person…
• A sandalwood ladies fan from daddy ;)
• Memories of Nomis, nicely documented. Good god… I’ve missed you so much…
• A photo frame from sister during the younger days. To my surprise the picture wasn’t me with my sister it was me with Joyce Chan. My secondary school mate. How are you girl? Still in Australia? I think you should have start working by now aye?

In it were my many memories. You couldn’t believe how many years ago were those things. If I did not keep any of it, I could have lost all the fond memories I have with every one of you… Boy how I treasure those times.

PedEgg Professional - Foot File

Last Sunday on the way back from Johor, a group of 8 came up to KL. My aunt, uncle, 1 little girl, mom and I were the 8. We stop for breakfast in Batu Pahat market and saw the foot file below. We bought a total of 4 files. My comment on the product is as below.

The name of the product is PedEgg Professional. PedEgg is a precision foot file, specially designed to help eliminate calluses and dry skin on the feet. Frequent usage of PedEgg helps in removing crack heels and rough hands too. It’s like having a professional spa treatment right in your own home. It also so cheap that beauty can be purchase at a cost of RM 10 only!



Ps: Personally I did not do the filings. My mom did and it really worked on her crack heels…
