Beauty of Mathematics

2009-08-27T22:59:00.003+08:00

Absolutely amazing!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
11! 11 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Now, take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+2! 3+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Health Information

2009-07-21T11:29:00.004+08:00

Regular Health Mistakes....
All of us make little health mistakes that cause damage to our bodies in the long run simply because we are unaware we are doing something wrong. Here are some of the most common mistakes made by many of us.

Crossing our legs
Do you cross your legs at your knees when sitting? Although we may believe that this is the lady-like elegant way to sit, sitting this way cuts down circulation to your legs. If you don"t want varicose veins to mar the beauty of your legs and compromise your health, uncross your legs every time you realise you have one knee on top of the other. The best way to sit is to simply place both legs together on the floor, balancing your weight equally. If you feel like changing position, instead of crossing your legs, simply move both legs together to one side.
As an alternative, you could also consider crossing your legs loosely at the ankles. This is a classically elegant way to sit, and is far better for your legs and your health than sitting with your legs crossed at your knees.

Not changing our toothbrush
How often do you change your toothbrush? Most of us wait until most of the bristles have either fallen off, or are in such bad shape that we"d be embarrassed to pull out our brush in public. However, since not many of us need to pull out our brush in public, we carry on with our frayed one until we lose it. Replace your toothbrush often. Damaged bristles can harm the enamel, and don"t massage your gums well.
If you find brushing your teeth a pain like I do, but know you must do it, you might as well be doing it right. Imagine going through the annoyance of brushing your teeth twice a day only to find out that you"re damaging your enamel every time you clean your teeth. Also, use a brush with soft bristles unless your dentist has advised otherwise.

Eating out often
There are oils that are high in cholesterol, and oils that cause little harm and are better for your heart. However, no matter how light the oil is, it is never a good idea to eat too much of it. Avoid fried foods.Remember that in all probability your favourite Indian food restaurant throws a huge, HUGE chunk of butter in a tiny bowl of dal.
Rita, who worked in the kitchen of a 5 star hotel, was shocked when she saw the cook chop a 500gm butter slab in half, and throw half into a Paneer Makhani dish.
No wonder the customers left licking their fingers. And no wonder they felt so stuffed
and heavy afterwards. Limit outdoor eating unless you know that you"re getting served light and healthy food.

Skipping breakfast
Never, ever skip breakfast. Remember, when you wake up in the morning it"s been around 10-12 hours since your last meal. Your body needs food now, more than at any other time. Eat a heavy breakfast. You will then be busy through the day, and the calories will get expended quickly. If you are trying to diet, eat a light dinner.
Here are some more common health mistakes we make. Being informed and making
a few changes can help make us feel a whole lot better.

High heels
High heels sure look great, but they're murder for your back. This however doesn't mean you should steer clear of stilettos. Wear them, but not when you know you will be walking around a lot. Wear them when going out for lunch or dinner - when the only walking you will be doing is to your car, to the table, and back. Avoid high heels when you are going somewhere on foot. If you are constantly tempted to wear your heels, take a good look at your flats. Is there something about them you dislike?
Invest in a new pair of beautiful flats or shoes with a low heel. Buy something you love, that you will enjoy wearing. If possible, get a matching bag. You will then enjoy your flats as much as you do your heels.

Sleeping on a soft bed
You don't have to sleep on the floor be kind to your back, but do make sure you have a firm mattress. Although a mattress on springs is soft and lovely to sink into, it's bad for your back. If you already have an old bed with springs, you don't need to invest in a new one - simply get a thick wooden plank put over the springs, and place the mattress on the plank. Similarly, if your mattress is old and lumpy, throw it out and get a new one. Your neck and your back will thank you. The same rule applies to sofas. If you will be spending hours on a sofa, get a firm yet comfortable one. Sofas you completely sink into are not the best idea.

Pillows
No matter how comfortable sleeping with ten cushions is, have pity on your neck and resist. Sleep with one pillow, and make sure it is not too thick. If your pillow gets lumpy, discard it and go for a new one. Get a thin pillow if you sleep on your stomach, and something a little thicker if you sleep on your back, to give your neck adequate support.

Not exercising
So all of us know we should exercise more, but many of us don't. This is a health mistake we consciously make! And why is that? Simply because we refuse to admit the damage we are causing to our bodies by not working out. A number of people only start working out once they've experienced a warning signal. Don't wait for a heart attack to strike before you decide to opt for a lifestyle change. Make the change now. You don't need to train for the marathon to be in top shape.
Half an hour of brisk walking three to four times a week will make a world of difference to your health. You could then increase this to forty minutes, four times a week - and
you're all set. If you haven't exercised for a week, you're making a mistake.

Ice has more bacteria than toilet water!

2009-07-14T18:01:00.004+08:00

I read this article from mail and wanted to share out of the real finding.
Well, 12-year-old Jasmine Roberts, a smart 7th grade student in Tampa, Florida hit
upon a starting discovery as part of her winning science fair project.

She compared the ice used in sodas and other drinks with the water from the toilet bowls in the same fast food restaurants. She was shocked by the results.

The ice served in soft drinks and other beverages at fast food restaurants had
more bacteria than water from the same restaurant’s toilet! Not only that, but 70 percent of the time, the ice had more bacteria than the toilet water.

Jasmine had the water tested at a lab at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, where
she volunteers with a USF professor. Ice in three of the five restaurants tested
positive for fecal coliform or E. coli, organisms that come from the feces of warmblooded
animals!

As the Tampa newspaper pointed out, symptoms, “related to the presence of
coliform include cramps and diarrhea. E. coli can cause intestinal illness and, in
rare cases, hemolytic uremic syndrome, a serious kidney condition.”

“I thought there might be a little bacteria in the ice, but I never expected it to be this much,” Jasmine told the Tampa Bay News, “ And I never thought the toilet water would be cleaner.”
Therefore as a safe option lets drink boiled or warm water for safe health.

Police Shooting

2009-06-30T10:21:00.004+08:00

Watch the video before reading the explanation below...
What you think you see at first does not always tell the truth.
Watch the video again, and what do you see?? An officer ordering the suspect to put the gun down and it
appears he is complying and then shot!? Is that what you see?
Want to know what it is like to work the streets and what you face?Watch the video again and Watch the suspects right hand while he places the weapon down with his left hand!
What you don't see, but the officer behind the suspect does see, is the suspect pulling a hidden handgun from
his rear pants with his right hand.

Just a reminder, what you think you see at first does not always tell the truth.?

Watch it again, and again and learn!

If you look closely you can see the gun in his hand after he is shot.

Good Bye Michael...

When you pray, begin with Praise

2009-06-24T09:39:00.002+08:00

"This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven: May Your holy name be honored'" (Matthew 6:9 TEV).

When Jesus' friends asked Him how to pray, He gave them a model prayer. Today we call it the Lord's Prayer, and it gives us a great outline for making contact with God.

The first idea Jesus gives us for making contact with God is captured by the words: "Our Father in heaven: May Your holy name be honored" (Matthew 6:9 TEV). Jesus is talking about praise. You begin making contact with God by praising him, by worshiping him.

What is praise? Praise is thanking God for who and what He is. It means to value Him, to esteem Him. It means bragging on him: "God, You are good! There's no one as good as You!"

Why should I praise God? Because it gets my focus off myself and onto God so I can talk to Him and not at Him. That's why we start with praise. If you want help learning how to praise God, read through the Psalms. Many of them were written simply to praise God. If you read them aloud, you'll learn a lot about praising God in prayer.

Notice Jesus talks about God's name being holy. Did you know God has many names? In the Old Testament there are many different names of God. In the Bible, a name was a clue to a person's character. The Bible reveals the character of God through the names it uses for Him. Through these names, we learn that:

• God is present with me.
• God is my Shepherd.
• God is my Provider.
• God is my Healer.
• God is my Peace.
• God is my victory in conflict.

Praying the names of God reminds you of who He is and what He has done for you, and that will stir up love in your heart for Him. You begin worshipfully praying by giving God your love.

by Rick Warren

Good to be true

2009-06-19T13:24:00.005+08:00

There are many upcoming projects ever since I join this new company which I have to taking care of all, and it is not an easy as what I think.
The people of my team have been very supporting and praise God for the blessing. Working with them at very beginning were a bit tough and now along the way it is getting much closer to them. I feel great though.
Perhaps God has the purpose to direct me to take up the challenges and let me embrace to experience the whole things.
I believe this is the purpose God has in me.
I never let Him down and so do my beloved wife. She always has the patience of listening to all the problems from me, and yet she never felt tired to support and comfort me.
Thank you my dear...

The new chapter has begun

2009-06-08T11:46:00.005+08:00

It has been a week in a new company I work for. It constantly remind me that I now have a bigger role and responsiblity towards my team which no longer the old me.

Somehow there must have hiccups along the way and I believe especially God will guide me through all this. He indeed has helped me to breakthrough all obstcales when I face the limitation of myself. I may not equipped with all knowledges and skills, but I'm ambitious to learn from scratch.
Today is my first time to chair a meeting with my team and thank God that everything is going smooth. I hope will get along with them to work together in future.

Ants inside brain

2009-06-08T10:35:00.004+08:00

I read 1 article on the below which caught my attention, and also which I didn't know how bad it is. I just post it out for sharing to especially who have children.

A little boy died because surgeons found ants in his brain! Apparently this boy fell asleep with some sweets in his mouth or with some sweet stuff beside him.

Ants soon got to him and some ants in fact crawled into his ear which somehow managed to go to his brain. When he woke up, he did not realize that ants had gone to his head.

After that, he constantly complained about itchiness around his face. His mother brought him to a doctor, but the doctor could not figure out what was wrong with him. He took an X-ray of the boy and to his horror; he found a group of live ants in his skull. Since the ants were still alive, the doctor could not operate on him because the ants were constantly moving around. The boy finally died. So please be careful when leaving food stuff near your bed or when eating in bed. This might attract ants. Most importantly, NEVER you or your child eat sweets before going to bed. You or your child might attract ants while you are asleep.

World's most unique 5 Strangely Coloured Beaches

2009-06-04T17:29:00.005+08:00

Punalu'u Beach

Punalu'u Beach is the most visited of the few black sand beaches on Hawaii's Big Island and the stunningly black sand is actually volcanic rock, deposited as lava and subsequently cooled when met by the ocean. Apparently to take any of the sand home would result in you being cursed by a volcano goddess by the name of Pele.

Papakolea Beach

One of only 2 green sand beaches in the world, the truly magnificent sight of Papakolea Beach can be experienced by travelling to Hawaii's Ka'u district. Again, the unique colour of its sand can be attributed to volcanic activity - specifically, the green hue belongs to the abundance of olivine crystals which have been produced as a result of a nearby cinder cone erupting and eroding.

Hyams Beach

You may need to wear your shades when visiting Hyams Beach in New South Wales, Australia, but not just due to the sun. It's not surprising after looking at photos but this sublime stretch of beach is home to the whitest sand in the world, an honour awarded by the Guinness Book of Records.

Pfeiffer Beach

The hills surrounding Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California, are rich in Manganese Garnet. A result of this being washed down onto the beach is the colour scheme you can see above - the entire stretch of sand has become a shifting, pink and purple canvas. Although it's probably inedible, I can't help picturing a bowl of Raspberry Ripple ice-cream every time I see it.

Kaihalulu

You won't find many beaches elsewhere in the world with sand as red as this one. Kaihalulu, or Red Sand Beach , is situated on the island of Maui and can thank the neighbouring cindercone hill for its intensely deep red appearance.

Nice Quote

2009-06-01T14:52:00.004+08:00

This quote was mentioned during yesterday at Sunday Church service by Pastor James Vinagam. I personally feel it is very true and meaningful quote especially when we deal with the people out there...

"People will forget what we said,
People will forget what we did,
but people will not forget how we made them feel..."

Assuredly Yours

2009-05-25T17:01:00.005+08:00

This worship song suddenly came to mind which it is my favourite when sing in the Church and I try to look for the song in the web. Then I found it here.

All that I am is in You
All that I seek is to follow You
I run to Your side when You call
There is the hope I am longing for

Just to be by your side
There is hope in my life
There is no greater freedom I’ve found

Take my life
And all that I have to give
Take my world
Just inhabit all of it
Take my dreams
Make me assuredly Yours

Why commit suicide?

2009-05-20T09:34:00.004+08:00

Apparently, committing suicide is extremely silly thing to do. In this world there are many beautiful things awaiting us to experience and explore. We have family, friends and loves one whom we care and love. Why such an act could simply destroy the life when God has made us perfectly or even some imperfect just like those people I posted earlier, without arms and legs? They got nothing yet they love and survive what they are. I believe there is always a way to overcome if we are struggling in our life. There are many obstacles in life as we goes on and it is the process of learning. Do not try to waste our precious gifted life just like that...

Yesterday I attended my friend's brother funeral in Nilai Memorial Centre, Cheras after receiving the bad news. I was really shocked when hearing his brother jumped off from 10th floor of her apartment. The cause of the death is still unknown but she believed that her brother’s death was due to depression over his study on pursuing his upper six. It is very pathetic to know at his very young age has just gone. Although I’m not that close to her brother but I know how grieved she had losing him.

By knowing this, it made me think that life is so precious and we should not take advantage by destroying it, think of those loves one who loves us and most important to remember Jesus loves us as He loves his Father. Let the God takes charge on us but let not by own selves.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LZ8

2009-05-18T15:53:00.007+08:00

I just bought this camera yesterday at RM399 (USD 110), free with 2GB SD card and a case. This model is a latest range from Panasonic which use LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR Lens and iA (intelligent Auto) mode. I'm currently using Nikon 3.2 Megapixel with the small LCD, which the earliest model when first digital camera invented. I tested it out with a few shots in the house and the quality of the picture and functional setting are simply impressive. I find it is good enough to take photo at 8.1 megapixel with this latest technology and most of all value for money. I'm not keen on buying compact digital camera at very expensive price, some of them costs thousands above. Then I rather get a DSLR instead of compact camera. I choose this camera for only one reason, as it uses LEICA lens! As many as you know that LEICA from Germany is famous of its top lenses and favourite brand for those professional photographers besides other brand like Canon, Nikon, Sony and so on. My favourite brand goes to Canon and Nikon if I have a chance to upgrade to DSLR camera...that is my wish!

"I have set an example for you, so that you will do just what I have done for you" (John 13:15 TEV).

Any successful marriage is built upon the biblical truth that God designed each of us with five purposes in mind: worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and missions.

You and your spouse were both created to become like Christ. God uses your spouse to build his values, attitudes, morals, and character within you. God uses your spouse, and your relationship with each other, to form you into an image of Jesus.

Once you understand this, a lot of what happens within your marriage will begin to make more sense. When you start to ask, "Why is this happening to me?" The answer is—to make you more like Jesus!

If God's purpose for each of our lives is to make us look more like Jesus, what better tool could he use than the marriage relationship? Who better for God to use to chisel you than the person you live with seven days a week? God is using each of you to shape the other person more and more into the image of Jesus.

God's work within your marriage is designed to produce "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control" within you and your spouse (Galatians 5:22-23 TEV).

Counting the days...

2009-05-14T15:50:00.007+08:00

Counting the day towards the end of my day in present company will begin a new chapter in my career. I have put all my faith in God whom I trust that He will lead and guide me through the way...
I think many of us like me is a common thing to practice in this working society in order to progress ourselves to another level which could enlarge us the opportunity to a better place and of course a better pay!
I have been working with the company for 4 years and have made my decision to leave is simply not easy way. I find it is no longer suitable for me to stay on as I need a changes. Hope to see myself on this new chapter will lead me to one step further for a better one.

Living within your Income

2009-05-12T16:44:00.000+08:00

When you spend more than you earn, you end up in tremendous stress. The Bible says, "Stupid people spend their money as fast as they get it" (Proverbs 21:20 TEV).

What motivates us to live beyond our means? Why do we spend ourselves into debt? Why are we rarely satisfied with what we have?

There are three myths that drive us into debt:

MYTH: Having more things will make me happier.

FACT: "Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!...So what good is wealth—except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!" (Ecclesiastes 5:10-11 NLT)

MYTH: Having more things will make me more important.

FACT: "Watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed; because your true life is not made up of the things you own, no matter how rich you may be" (Luke 12:15 TEV).

MYTH: Having more things will make me more secure.

FACT: "The Lord is like a strong tower, where the righteous can go and be safe. Rich people, however, imagine that their wealth protects them like high, strong walls around a city" (Proverbs 18:10-11 TEV).

When we buy into these myths, we always overspend. So, here's how to enjoy life more on less:

• Find happiness in helping others. Jesus said, "There is more happiness in giving than in receiving" (Acts 20:35 TEV). Just look around you and you'll see this is true. The happiest people are those who help the most, not those who have the most. Misers are always miserable.

• Find self-worth by getting to know God. God says, "...you are precious to me..." (Isaiah 43:4 TEV). You matter to God. He made you for a purpose. Genuine self-esteem comes from establishing a relationship with God and becoming all he meant for you to be.

• Find security in trusting God, not a bank balance. The Bible says, "Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, 'I will never leave you; I will never abandon you'" (Hebrews 13:5 TEV). Real security must be found in something that can never be taken from you. While there are many ways to lose your possessions, Jesus said God will take care of you if you trust Him.

Thank you Lord Father...

2009-05-11T10:29:00.008+08:00

Recently my bother in law, Jerry who had heart attack successfully undergone for his arteries blockage operation, which doctor confirmed 3 arteries have been blocked. He is now resting at home under medication with his daughter.
We pray everyday to ask God's healing and salvation to restore his health. Halleluia! God has indeed answered our prayer when we received a call from him that the operation had doing very well. We want to praise and thank God for his mighty healing and restoration for Jerry although he is non-believer yet, but we believe in faith he will come to know Lord Jesus one day. God is faithful and He is the one our hope who provides us every needs whenever we face difficulty times in our daily life.
My mom too was once saved by God in many years back. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma cancer and that time I was just a teenage boy. Before then I already accepted Lord Jesus in 1994 without her knowledge. She had gone a hard time of struggling during the chemotherapy treatment and I prayed endlessly without fail asking God's healing for my mom and cry to seek his help. I still remember all and never will forget. How God is so good to me when I need him most.

Celebrate Mother's Day

2009-05-11T08:43:00.015+08:00

We celebrated Mother's day in a economical cozy steak restaurant near Kampung Pandan roundabout. As every year goes by, my mother is getting older and older, yet she is still strong, healthy and energetic no doubt she is now 63. I still remember those days especially in my school days when I was just a small kid how mom sent me to school every morning by bicycle (that bicycle named Chopper). That bicycle was simply unique as the wheels had different sizes with tall steering handle just like a Harley bike. One big at the rear and small at the front. I remembered everytime I was sitting in front patiently, holding the handle while mother cycled with all her fullest energy. Although she looked tired and exhausted when I saw her face, but she never complain or reveal it.
She had brought us up four brothers including me with her unconditioned love and care with a living just enough for the day during the time.
The other 2 bothers are in Johor now and have their own living. Most of the time like this kind of occasion they are not with us, only they will come back when it comes to Chinese New Year reunion dinner.

Thank you mom! and Happy Mother's day...
You always the best mother in my life

No Arms, No Legs!

2009-05-07T09:17:00.012+08:00

When I look again at these pictures after earlier posted about the little girl with only 1 arm, now this man has no arms and legs at all! You may wonder why I posted all these pictures after one another. I personally feel and wanted to share with all the readers here for those stopping by that it is important to remember how God has blessed and gave us a complete and perfect physical body and we should be thankful for what we have now. This people yet have the strong spirit and faith to live on. They never give up their life. Just imagine putting ourselves in their shoes, and how would it be like.

My name is Nick Vujicic and I give God the Glory for how He has used my testimony to touch thousands of hearts around the world! I was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth 'defect'. As you can imagine, I was faced with many challenges and obstacles.
'And we know that in all things God works for the best for those who love Him.' That verse spoke to my heart and convicted me to the point where that I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these 'bad' things happen in our life.

I now see that Glory revealed as He is using me just the way I am and in ways others can't be used.
I am now twenty-three years old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the corporate sector.
I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever He leads, I follow.
I have many dreams and goals that I have set to achieve in my life. I want to become the best witness I can be of God's Love and Hope , to become an international inspirational speaker and be used as a vessel in both Christian and non-Christian venues. I want to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments, to modify a car for me to drive and to be interviewed and share my story on the ' Oprah Winfrey Show '! Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year. It will be called 'No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!'

Be contended what we have...

Dim Sum in Damansara Jaya

2009-05-04T11:03:00.015+08:00

This dim sum restaurant is located in Damansara Jaya, near Atria Shopping Mall and next to Maybank. I find it quite tasty and many choices of dim sum and others as well like chee cheung fan, a bowl fried rice, porridge and etc.

Skybridge of Twin Tower

2009-05-04T01:21:00.020+08:00

On labour day, we went over to Suria KLCC after putting a night in mom's place, a sudden thought of going for just a window shopping since the last some time ago. Eventually, I managed to get free parking opposite of KLCC which was safe and save me lots from paying parking charge...hehe. Though it needs some distance walk across the street and pass through Mandarin Oriental Hotel only get to the other entrance of Suria KLCC. It was really crowded with many people from locals, foreigners and tourists, perhaps plus with public holiday. I can't deny that KLCC is the most favourite destination of shopping throughout all time. My wife wanted to get a briefcase and myself looking a long sleeve shirt. Sigh...at the end, we couldn't buy anything...just a little electric shaver for myself. Before we were about to go off, I told my wife why not we just check it out to see whether can visit the Twin Tower Skybridge at this hour, 5pm. Sadly, we were told that the passes for the day had all finished and advised us to come early in the morning for next time. Oh no...
The free passes are limited for 1700 people per day, at first-come first-basis. Then what else can we do?

With disappointed feeling, we then walked to the Exhibition hall to see all information displayed about how the Twin Tower was built in those days. This 88-floor towers were designed by Argentine-American architect and completed in 1998. While we were watching a documentary video, one staff came to tell us that we can go up to the Skybridge. Huh! I can't believe that...maybe they gave us a chance. I just thought if we have had not been here, we may not having this chance. Thank God!

Then we were given a yellow tag, a 3D glass and proceed to the Cinema room with the rest of the visitors for few minutes show about the Twin Tower structures and development. I really don't get it why they used this method by wearing the 3D glass which made us a little bit dizzy and blurry images. But when without wearing it, there was double images...
After the show, we were called out followed by the colours of tags and queued in the line to get into the High Speed Elevator.
This elevator is not an ordinary elevator, there are so many buttons and LED which indicate each floors. It took us 41 sec to reach to the level 41 which it is the Skybridge's floor. It was really pretty fast and meant that only 1 sec for each level! (OMG...)
The moment we stepped into the bridge lobby, I quickly took out my camera cellphone to snap here and there coz limited time only given.
It was really good experience and worthy to visit. I am really proud of this mega structure and truly Malaysia!

Fellowship dinner in Vietnam Kitchen

2009-05-02T14:40:00.031+08:00

Delicious and tasty! All I can say it for very first time dining in Vietnam cuisine restaurant...The cooking style is likely similar to our chinese cooking. I like the fried squids and prawns, which I love the most especially when comes to "fried stuffs"...(cannot eat too much actually). All dishes served were just great and thanks to Bro. Keith who ordered the foods. He bought all of us this dinner. Well, I definitely will go back to this restaurant next time to try others dishes...
Below photo was taken using my cellphone, so the image quite blurry.

P/s: This Vietnam Kitchen is located in USJ, next to CIMB and OCBC and opposite of Taipan.

Happy Labour Day!

2009-04-30T13:37:00.012+08:00

I wish to all "Happy Labour Day" and have a good holiday ahead. We will be going for a fellowship dinner with Galileans at Vietnam Kitchen, in Taipan USJ. Hmm...can't wait to eat!

Hardest decision ever made

2009-04-27T10:23:00.021+08:00

Well, these few days have troubled my mind seriously and I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I thank you to my beloved wife for her understanding and full support on me.
We pray to the Lord asking his answer and recently I got what I had prayed for. God indeed has answered my prayer. However, despite the answer which I have, I felt miserable and don't know what to decide then.
This is the hardest decision ever I want to make.
Finally, after hearing advices and words of encouragement, I have made the final decision to go for it and for all. Hope along the way everything is in order and smooth...

Paroimia outcome is awesome!

2009-04-27T09:53:00.015+08:00

Yes it is indeed a great show from the youth performance, and I must say it is one of the best presentation ever in FGA. The church has done very well organized and systematic. The friends whom we brought together to the church on Saturday night were thrilled and enjoyed. I thank God for his blessing unto this family.
The crowd were packed and fully seated. We managed to get a good seat and good view to the stage. The introduction before the show was good and hilarious. I really proud of them especially the time they have contributed and commited towards the presentation are just awesome!. And the parents of their children are supportive too. Praise God. God is really great. Therefore, all this youths are our future generation and will be a leader one day for the church and nation because they are full of energetic and enthusiasm. Not forgetting others like sound crew, lighting crew, video crew, ushers, pastors, leaders and those people involved behind the Paroimia are also doing great job! Without these people it ain't work entirely.
Paroimia (in Greek) means Parable is about the battle between good and evil.

Paroimia

2009-04-24T17:40:00.012+08:00

I'll be going to FGA tonight before the 8pm Paroimia presentation starts, to setup video camera for the stage shooting. Paroimia has getting over-whelm turn out for last week and it is going to be crowded with people tonight, Saturday and Sunday. I'm not sure how good is the show but from the comments I heard is indeed a great show.

Thumbs up for Marley & Me

2009-04-24T10:01:00.014+08:00

We watched this movie, "Marley & Me" yesterday which I had bought the DVD recently. This movie is about Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston have adopted a male labrador and they named it Marley. They have 3 kids right after Marley. We were thrilled and laugh throughout the movie as Marley was so adorable and hyper-active dog. He was naughty, strong, powerful, endless hungry and destructive to the property. He has been called the "world worst dog". However the saddest part was near the end of the movie which Marley was dying due to old age. My eyes was wet when watching this sad part. What I have learned from this movie is that, patience, understanding and compromise are very important in the relationship, when dealing with hardest things in life and raising up children is big responsiblity ever even raising dog as well. I love dog very much and wish to have one in my home...:D. For those dog's lover this movie is great to watch and I would say it is best movie of the year!

Fantastic India Driver

2009-04-22T11:08:00.017+08:00

Suddenly a memory came to my mind about the time I was in India for job assignment which was 2 years back. It was my first time to India and the place I went was in Bangalore. The second time around again another job assignment, but this time I had to complete 5 projects in 4 different places in India for 1 month. The places are Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai and New Delhi. So I had to fly by plane from one to another.

The only transportation I can took was auto three-wheeler which is their main public transport. So I rode it to the sites and go back to Hotel on everyday! The auto wheeler was very bumpy and unstable. Sometime I just worried whenever the drivers were making sharp turn and the vehicles could just overturn. The reason I post this video from YouTube to share how I exactly experienced the real traffic in India. Amazing right and no accident at all...No one can beat them honestly.
I can tell I am totally amazed by their driving skill, however I am not feeling good for it. I was shocked and scared when on the wheels. You wouldn't know how I felt it until you try it, lol.

I just wonder if this traffic is in Malaysia, I believe many have being run over and killed. Apart seeing the video, I think our Malaysian drivers are not that bad anyway...:)

It rains finally!

2009-04-22T09:29:00.009+08:00

Thank God that He has heard my prayer. After the day I wrote it down on the post, it rain at late midnight and with strong winds. I woke up from the bed and saw the plants in the balcony were jiggling because of the strong winds. Then next early morning, the weather was just breeze and mist after the rains...

Unusual weather

2009-04-20T15:20:00.014+08:00

Last few days were extremely hot and unusual weather, the moment I got into the car felt just like standing near to burning flame. When back home, the heat can be felt the moment I was about to open the main entrance door. I looked up at the digital clock on the wall, room temperature shown was 29 degree celsius! Usually normal room temperature is about 25. I guess outside must be over than 34 degree celsius. Oh my...I was even sweating just inside the house without do nothing (lol). Just imagine how hot it is.
I wish rain will come these few days.

Hunger for foods!

2009-04-20T10:25:00.011+08:00

We should be blessed and thankful for what we can have a nice meal everyday. There are thousands of thousands people dying everyday due to hunger. We should think of those people out there before we want to waste foods just like that. This short clip based on true story.

Express bus accident again!

2009-04-15T13:39:00.017+08:00

I am saddened of reading over and over the news about express bus crashed, which recently happened on Tue, 14th Apr (theStar). It is not the first time we hear this news. Based on the investigations reported, the driver and co-driver have eight and six summonses respectively! Six lives have lost and many injured due to the collision, one of them is pregnant woman. Why does our Government has done nothing seriously especially against the bus operator company. My point of view is that the authority should check regularly on the bus company of their quality services rendered and drivers record if any summonses ever issued to them. The government should enforce strict regulations to the bus operating company, to ensure the drivers hired must have valid driving licences and clean record. The company also must play their important roles. However by looking at this case, it is obviously the bus company neither act nothing nor take any action after the drivers who have old summonses record and still allow them to drive on the road. It is very clear to judge that these reckless drivers have bad driving attitudes on the road. At the end of the day, after many lives have lost and injured, then only by blaming each other.This is very pathetic of human attitudes.

I used to drive often to outstation, mostly Penang for job assignment. I have seen many and most of the time the express buses are just faster than my car, even as I drive at 110km/h. I definitely worry for those passengers' safety inside the bus.

Be alert and careful

2009-04-14T17:37:00.012+08:00

I just read a post today from Hannah Yeoh blog, that she also personally encountered unexpected thing happened to her this morning. I could not believe it this incident can be happened to her though she is a Subang Jaya State Assemblyman

From her blog: " This morning at about 9:25am, I was driving alone, along USJ 11/1G and I was driving very slowly because of a road hump and as I looked right, I saw a Chinese man on a motorbike right next to me and he was about to take a weapon from underneath his shirt to attack me. I could not see if it was a pistol, a knife or a hammer and all I could do at that time was to honk continuously. The loud honk caused him to turn away and I sped off, drove straight to the shops nearby and rang Chief Inspector Loi. I was only thinking of the next person he would be after in the neighbourhood and so I rang SJ Alert to notify the residents. I hope his motive was robbery and not something else. I thank God for keeping me safe. Please observe your surroundings at all times and be alert."

I strongly feel that we must pay attention and alert when we are driving, especially those area near the traffic lights, parking bays or simply when stop your car just to buy something in the convenient shop. We must pray to God continuously for his protection and blessing, whether outside or inside the house. Untill today I still see some people keeps their children in the car with the engine running while they go to the shop. How irresponsible act of this parents! Don't they read the news what had already happened?

Easter Shows Us God's Amazing Love

2009-04-10T17:00:00.007+08:00

"God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners" (Romans 5:8 NLT).

Everything that Jesus did for you He did out of love. The Bible says that God made you to love you. The only reason you're alive is because you were made to be loved by God.

If God didn't want you alive, your heart would stop instantly; you wouldn't even be breathing right now. God made you and wants you alive so He can love you and so you can love Him back.

God didn't just say He loved you, He showed it. The Bible says, "God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners" (Romans 5:8 NLT). It says while we were still sinners. Before I even knew God, before I even knew I needed God in my life, Jesus died for me.

There's a myth that says I've got to clean up my act before I can come to God. "I've got to get it all together. There are a few things I've got to get right in my life first, and then I'll come to God." No! You come to God with your problems—the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Why do we do this? It's like when we brush our teeth before we go to the dentist to have a teeth cleaning; or when we wash the dishes before we put them in the dishwasher; or when we pick up the house before the maid gets there! Why do we do this?

God says, "No, no! You don't have to clean up your act. Just bring it all to Me. Bring Me all your problems. I have the answer. I have all the answers." You don't wait. Jesus says, "Come as you are."

The Bible says, "He will send down help from heaven to save me because of His love" (Psalm 57:3 LB). That's what Jesus did on Easter. He sent down Himself from heaven to save us because of His love. So you bring your problems to God because He has the answer.

If you don't act on this news then the death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection is wasted for you personally. It makes no difference in your life. You may recognize the gift, but you still have to receive it.

The Bible says, "You will be saved, if you honestly say, 'Jesus is Lord,' and if you believe with all your heart that God raised Him from death. God will accept you and save you, if you truly believe this and tell it to others" (Romans 10:9-10 CEV).

God is not asking you to make a promise you cannot keep. God is asking you to believe a promise that only He can keep.

There are 2 categories; 10km and 30km pacesetters organized by Great Eastern Life where it held in Taman Tasik Perdana. We took the 10km. Believe me or not, I first thought 10km sounds like easy and very short distance only but it wasn't what expected until I finished the race. It was terrible exhausted and tired. Indeed it was fun and challenging race. All of us were really enjoy it through the race even as we knew cannot compare with those pro athletes. Even we didn't win the race, but we finished the race at the finish line. That is the strong enthusiasm we have! You see, all the happy smiling faces with the medal! Good experience...:-)

Cameron Highland Trip

2009-04-07T16:56:00.009+08:00

We planned this trip to celebrate my wife's birthday which is on Mar 1, Sunday. It is 3 day 2 night trip. The last trip was way back many years ago when the time with my previous church member (Sanctuary Church). I have done my proper homework before the trip, probably concern which exit to use as there are currently two exit to Cameroon Highland. Basically both exits are fine to use, however at Tapah exit as what I read from internet source and friends comments, the road was pretty winding and narrow. Therefore, I decided to use Simpang Pulai which is a new exit to Cameron and also very near to the Hotel Equatorial.

It took almost 3 hour journey to reach at Brinchang, the highest part of Cameron above the sea level. Indeed the road way up was quite smooth driving. Thank God that I chose the correct direction. I like this kind of road which make me fresh and not to fall asleep. I hate driving on long and straight highway! Many times I almost fall asleep especially when on job assignment to outstation. The air was not that cooling as it was already afternoon. Upon reaching at the Hotel, we checked in and the room given was pretty good as it faced right to the tea plantation hill. Fantastic!

Overall I can say about this trip is just wonderful.

On the way to BOH Tea Center Sungei Palas, I stopped my car and took this shot.

Wow so greenery!

Captured this shot while driving up to the tea centre. Awesome nature!

That is the platform on top of the the tea centre where you can relax and sit down with a cup of hot tea and strawberry slice cake...yum!
