happie labours' day...!

Happy labours’ day, peeps! 30 april 2007.

A day in ‘history’ for myself… Hehe, as I'm officially a ‘one-year-old’ in my working life, as of 2 may lar. Time really really flies huh! and my lil car will be turning 2 on may 5th… (can rmbr so clearly coz it was handed over to me on 050505). Hehe…

Hmmmph, the disadvantages of leaving your hp charger in office! Was outta use since last evening til when I reached office this morning! Hmmmph big time! Felt so ‘disconnected’ to the ‘world’! Hahaha… waiseh, so khua-cheong! Hahaha… just kidding!! But really, so inconvenient and not used to it. And! No alarm to wake me up! No gwen stefanie ‘doodling’ her old new song – Wind It Up - to wake me up. Haha… and! Worse still, no cam to use when you just nida snap the policeman when your on the road! Haihhh…

No biggie lar, js that when I was on my way to work this morning, at the traffic stop at errmm, jln mendu / simpang tiga / batu lintang / ‘don't know what road’ junction, saw a policeman in full uniform riding his bulky huge bike pass my car as we were waiting for the light to turn green. I was from batu lintang towards jln mendu mar. He stopped somewhere besides the car in front of me, and guess what? His pistol was so EXPOSED! So REACHABLE! Aiks! I thought they weren’t supposed to be like that? What happens when a crazy guy simply reach out and pull the trigger? Or anything like that? Ok, EVEN IF the pistol in unloaded. But still! Why court danger when you can avoid one? My gudiness. They can keep advising those aunties, errmm… ladies, I mean, not to sling their handbags at the side when they on the motorbikes, to prevent snatch thefts, and thus, preventing them from being hurt, etc. but they themselves are doing so! The pistol is right where I could see, meaning, so obvious! They MIGHT have those chains attaching the pistol to whichever part of them, or belt or wadever… but still, when people snatch, they aren't going to be gentle with ya, would they? Hmmmm… shock the bejeebers outta me! (did I mention before, bejeebers’ phrase, I ‘quoted’ from Rugrats – the movie/cartoon… neh, their trip to Paris. So polluting my English! Hahahaha. Shortcups, instead of shortcuts! Hahaha…LOL). Gues that’s about it lar… my super early ‘eye-opener’. Hahaha…

Ahh… signal fire (is that the name? me not very sure!) is playing on Hitz.fm now. Soundtrack from Spidey! Hehe… nice song. Not bely sure what its talking about though. And, jayz & rihanna’s “um-be-re-lla…el-la…el-la”. Haha… nice song too. Very catchy way of pronouncing ‘umbrella’. Hahaha! that is what the hokkiens say, ‘bo-ia-bo-ciak’ (NOT no coconut, no eat arr! Don't misunderstood! Sumthing about being Ridiculous – no shadow, no “ciak” - is what I have no idea too!) my hokkien ain't that good too. Too ‘chim’ for me! Haha… though I’ve been speaking hokkien with my family members since I don't know when. A hakka myself, don't blame me for being unable to speak that. Nobody speaks hakka to us in our family! I understand bits, but don't ask me to speak, else I’ll pronounce evything like a malay trying to speak in mandarin. Hahah! Short broken hakka + even more broken canton + not too good English + not very chim hokkien + simply pronounce de kindie mandarin + bits of malay slang here and there = yours truly! Haha… I wonder what I can verse well in? hehe… rugrats language!! Hah! Umberella is actually playin now (the later now), and I suspect that my noti lil niecey is rocking herself to this tune! Haha…

anyway, me posting this blog, 1 reason only. haha... i found out tat some"two" has been abusing my blog, or 'blug' like i owes call it... haha... abusing it for their own mischievious 'benefits'! hmmm... how unappropriate. hmmmmmmm.... *the sony hp animation - SCEPTICAL look...* hmmmmmmm... (again). who? read my post on "nothing much" and that twosome who commented plentiful, thats em. hmmmmmmmmmm..... *sceptical* *sceptical*... hahaha...

ah...was checking my mail while writing this blog, aikss... came across a fwded mail with lotsa amazing vege-carving animals! but this is the one i love the most. sooooo bely d cute! those 'animals' were supposedly made or carved from veges, and this one, the bodies - cauliflower, obviously. but i cant quite see what the heads and legs are made of. but stil... i love em lots! reminds me of mao mao bear. haha...

cute eh? do tell me if anyone can figure out wad are the heads and the legs and the buldging eyes are made of. hehe... NOT THAT IM PLANNING TO MAKE EM! no no! haha... im just curious. haha...

emergency situation...

Because of recent abductions in daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation...

This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children, everyone you know. It never hurts to be careful
in this crazy world we live in.

1 . The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans ..
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you....
Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse.
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS!) The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

a. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat: O NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5 . A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat.

B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)


6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably! in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP . It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

************* Here it is *******

9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her "Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door."

The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, "We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door." He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.

Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby ---- This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America 's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.

ee-oo-ee-oo

20 april 2007, friday.

gues wad? he din talk any fengshui to me - the lawyer client. but talked alot alot. non stop! and i had to tahan my laughter sooo many times cos it was very rude to lol in front of clients, according to my boss. hehe... he forbade me to laf! aiyo! not a very bad person, this lawyer, just tat he's too much into fengshui and too nagging!

but anyway, he was also the one who helped me to shut off my car alarm that goes off when i was about to go home just now! had to ot because of his job! haha... my car alarm remote sudenly went dead on me when i wanted to leave office just not! aiyo... someone tol me to try and open the car door with the keys and then, duno push wad button. very sure that the alarm wud go off, i bopien had to try. and yesh... it went off! sooo loud, paiseh mati me! hahaha... then i tried to push the button of the alarm in the car, no effect ler...

luckily, it went quiet after a while. but the door was still locked. so my boss and the lawyer came down oso lor.. cos he was leaving too. and he (the lawyer) tried this and tat... stil ee-oo-ee-oo! then gud thing he sudenly remembered that his wife tol him before about having to start the car engine after the button thingie, baru my car alarm diam diam! hmmmph. luckily it was nite time liau. haha...

so girls out there who DO NOT KNOW THE PROPER PROCEDURE TO DIAM UR CAR ALARM LIKE ME BEFORE THIS... haha, when u gota unlock ur car doors with key and the alarm goes off, push the black lil button somewhere on the bottom left side of ur steering wheel (duno about ur car lar), and start ur car engine. at lis, it worked for mine! haha... *blush blush* (only now i know... tsk tsk tsk...)

btw, im reading the star online now (haha... not buying from ah Kau! hehe...). i only know about this FireFly Airlines? a newly launched airline from MAS. and before this, there was the FAX. wad else? wad else that i have no idea of?

aih... tomolo working saturday :-P

Do you want to be YOU or Ah Kau?

LONG STORY BUT VERY VERY REAL!!! Nice story or shall I say Reality... Read till the End and Decide whether you want to be YOU or Ah Kau... (fwded msd again...)

The Ah Kau Story

Ah Kau is a guy who sells newspaper every morning next to your apartment, and you are one of his daily regular customers. Before dashing off to your office every day, you will go to his small stall and buy The Star newspaper. Wearing a newly pressed shirt, a tie, and a pair of Clarks shoes, you grab a copy of The Star, pay RM1.20 and exchange smiles with Ah Kau and greet him. Apa macam Ah Kau ini hari? Bisnes ada baik? The normal greeting like you do every day.

Yes, Ah Kau doesn't speak English. He speaks Chinese and knows a little bit of Malay. He speaks a little bit of Malay but with a very thick Chinese accent. Biasa saja ini bisnes aa, kadang kadang baik, kadangkadang tada untung oo. Biasalah hidup. Kadang kadang ok, kadang kadang tak.

You give Ah Kau a pat on the back. You smile and walk away and get into your car. You start the engine and start driving to your office, a multinational semiconductor company located in a premier industrial area. You are a young and promising finance executive and the future looks bright for you.

A year goes by and things look pretty good on the track. You decide to marry your fiancé and have your new wife moves in to your place. Both of you feel happy because you can save more money as the two of you will be sharing one apartment and can live as one. Ah Kau is still selling the newspaper as usual. Sometimes in the morning your wife gets the newspaper from Ah Kau instead of you. A year later a child comes along, and you decide to buy and move into a newly developed condominium just across the street. This place is bigger so it will be perfectly fit for the 3 of you. But since both of you are working, you decide to get a maid to take of the household and your kid. By this time you're offered a managerial job from another multinational; the remuneration package offered is much better in terms of the pay, contractual bonus, medical benefits, ESOS scheme and a few others which make it impossible for you to decline. So you join this company happily.

You get busier. You realize that you spend less and less time with your family. When your department is busy preparing for the next audit, your working hours become more and more ridiculous. Any internal issues arising inthe office means you'll be stuck in the office until 8or 9 pm. Sometimes, during the weekend, you'll spend your time in your office, buried under paper works and documentations, instead of taking your family for a walkin the park.

One morning, on your way to get your copy of The Star, you realized that Ah Kau is no longer in his stall. So is his rundown motorbike. Instead, there's another young Chinese guy at the stall. What happen to Ah Kau? You ask out of curiosity. Oh, he is still around, but he is no longer taking care of this stall as he has opened up a new grocery shop downtown. I am running this newspaper stall for him.

Ok, you smile. You feel happy for Ah Kau. At last he manages to improve his life.Your normal life continues.

A year passes by and at the end of your company's fiscal year, you're rewarded for your effort with a 5 months bonus pay-out by your employer. Wow. Now that is a very handsome reward. You feel your effort has been equally compensated. To celebrate, you decide that it's time to trade your 5-year old Proton Wira to the latest Honda Civic model. It won't be much a problem to you to get a loan scheme from the bank as your pay slip will provide you an easy gateway to access financial help from any bank.

One day, the hardest reality of life hits you right on the face. The company that you've been working for years announces that they're moving their business to China for cost and competitive reason and has asked you to find a job somewhere else.

What? You scream out cold. I got a lot of liabilities on the card! Who's gonna pay for my mortgage? My car? My credit card? My gym fees? My bills? You yell like there's no way out. This is the first time you feel let down by your own employer. All your hard work seem to go up on the smoke. You feel sick. You now hate your company.

On the way home, you stopped by at a mamak restaurant for a cup of teh tarik while pondering about your future. Alone. Suddenly you saw this new, shiny BMW 3 series being parked nearby. And to your surprise, it was Ah Kau. Yes, Ah Kau who used to sell newspapers nearby your old apartment. What happened to old Ah Kau? You whisper to your self. Ah Kau still recognizes you, and sit next to you, and shared his story.

To make it short, Ah Kau had accumulated his money from selling newspapers to open more stalls, one after another. Every new stall is run by his workers so that he focused on opening more and more stalls, which in turn give him more and more money. Over the years, he had accumulated enough cash to open up new grocery store while at the same time buying more assets to grow his wealth. And his current wealth and success is achieved without any loan or financial help from banks and other financial institutions. There you go. That's the story.

While Ah Kau is set to become financially free, you're back to where you've started before. Ground zero.

Before leaving, Ah Kau gives you a familiar quote, Biasalah hidup. Kadang kadang ok, kadang kadang tak ok. He gives you a pat on the back and walks away.

In reality, if you're observant enough, there are a lot of Ah Kaus out there, that you will see every day and every where you go. The names are different, but inside them is every character of Ah Kau. They might be Uncle Dorai, Ah Chong, Pak Abu, Makcik Gemuk, Pak Man nasil emak or others. They look to be struggling on the surface, but if you look carefully and compare with you life, many of them are living with little or no liabilities.

They ride an old kapcai bike. They live in an old rundown house. They don't have credit card to swipe. They wear a 10-year old shirt and short. No new, shiny Toyota Harrier. In short, their living means are far below than yours. But what you don't realize is that many of them can save more money than yours, and over the years generate enough money to expand their business, or invest in properties. Their asset columns are much thicker than that of yours.

So the next time you see Ah Kau, never look down on them, and never under estimate them. Or else you're up for a harsh reality.

nothing much...

19 april 2007, thursday

9 april 2007. its a monday today. TIRED! TIRED!

just came back from kl last nite, and guess wad? for the 1st time after flying with airasia since i oso cannot recall when, the flites werent delayed! haha... both to and fro - NOT DELAYED~ good job, airasia! haha...

hmmm, gues wad? we were sooo lucky! mega sale was on-goin when we were there! werent expecting it at all. haha... anyway, my godmum, my lil sis and i, we went 1U & ikea on fri, with me driving n my lil sis navigating. haha... (one drives, but 'direction-less', another 'direction-full' but license-less, my sis, i mean). hahah...

sat, we went midvalley by taxi - my godmum and i only, cos my lil sis started her ministry in church as a (junior) photographer that day. for the 1st time! haha... and a-che and jiefu and abee met up with us for dinner at chillis at around 730pm. so, there we were, eating the nice yummie nachos and the salads and etc etc... as for drinks, a-che recommended me & godmum 'margarita presidente' or 'presidente margarita', wateva! haha... i sipped, and wahhh... NICE! NICE! haha... and since she's preggie, she ordered tomato+pineapple juice, tasted NOT BAD TOO~ and by the time we were done with dinner, it was around 9pm, i tink.

we walked into mv (midvalley) and godmum who was initially holding abee (my lil niece) pass her to me, cos she n a che went to the washroom, and there i was, with abee... and after a while, my arms were kinda sore - abee wasnt light ok! haha... so i pass her back to her daddy, and i pushed the stroller instead. abee & her daddy went into the nearby watch shop, opposite wah chan.. haha. and the 2 ladies were still in the washroom.

tat was when it all begun. near the escalator, a girl suddenly become disorientated, as can be seen! very obvious! and her face turned all white... her lips as well. and she looked kinda dizzy. and when another lady approached her, this disorientated girl mumbled something to the lady. the lady took her by the arm, and after a step or two, that girl collapsed to the floor (almost), but becos the other lady was holding her by the arm, she was stil kinda hooked onto the lady, almost reaching the floor. and the lady was seen asking for help from a guy she knew, who was holding a baby, and it was rather blurrie this part, as crowd started to 'form' around them, wher the girl fainted. and the guy just now, he carried or drag, im not very sure, the girl to the nearest seat opposite the escalator.

wahhh... along the 'process', duno which part, but i guess at the beginning of the whole incident, a guard came and offered to help, even asked whtr to call for medic or not, but as he was a malay, it was in-appropriate for him to carry the girl to a seat, esp when there were guy in their group. and then, an old chinese lady asked the lady who carried the girl by the arm - "she didnt eat, isit?" wow, such caring malaysians, huh?

and then, after a minute of TOTAL blackout, the girl was conscious again, and she puked into a plastic bag. eeewww! and totally totally seemed ok again.

and u know wad?

the girl who blackout-ed, it was me. hahahahaha... gues some of u mite know it at the beginning? haha.. the lady who held me was my godmum who had just came out of the washroom, and the guy holding a baby, haha.. who else, jie fu and abee. my a-che, according to my godmum, almost wanted to carry me cos godmum cudnt bear my weight, was 'scolded' by godmum and was 'shoo-ed' away cos she was preggie, AND VERY DANGEROUS for her to do so. haha... wen i was gaining back my consciousness, i was still dizzy, i said, "i know wad is happening, just tat im unable to open my eyes yet". and my 1st line after i puke, after i was ok - "this is so embarassing!" hahahahahaha... LOL.

truly it is. but then, im glad, so thankful that i din cause any harm to anyone, esp a che and abee, who was being put on her stroller by her daddy without being strapped. and lucky tat i wasnt holding abee when i started to feel that the whole world is 'merry-go-rounding' around me! hahahaha... LOL.

and jiefu & a-che's assumption was, me not enuf blood. thats y after a bit of margarita, i blackout! haha... and if u recall, i wrote, "d guy carried or drag her, im not very sure" why? becos, when we were on the way home, in the car, jiefu said with my size, carrying me to the nearest seat shudnt be a problem lar... but who knows! when he actually had the unconscious me, he said, he was sooo shocked at the weight he was carrying! haha... tats i wasnt sure its a drag or a carry! LOL! laf dead me!

and again, i'd like to stress here that, NO, i wasnt hungry. i was fresh from the kitchen, rmber? haha... so wad caused me to faint? no idea... but i sure wasnt tired tat day. so, see lar.. i'll update to this topic again when i know the cause! haha...

til today, i stil find it funny! hahaha... and embarassing! hahaha... and thank god i din fell strait to the floor, else my head will have a bump, im sure! haha... and if im not mistaken, it all happened within minutes, from me first feeling dizzy to after i puke, roughly around 15 - 30 mins, i guess? and i was perfectly alright again after tat. hahaha...

so here i am... haha. bloggin about my 1st experience fainted! haha... blackout-ed!

What does Love mean?

What does Love mean?

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"

just got off from my kch - kl flite roughly 3 hrs ago, but i felt as if i've just reached my sis' home in kota kemuning. haha... y? the journey from lcct to pj (to pick up my lil sis) was like, FOREVER! hahaha... had me sat in car til dizzy! haha... and after we reached kk and unloaded, we went for re-fuel at the nearby mamak, me, my lil sis and my godmum. haha...

MOST of the ppl there q-ed. and of course, there are always ppl who cudnt care to q, cos some ppl dun mind sitting at unfavored seats where they cannot choose... or "leftover" seats. i know some ppl dun mind that. i dun mind actually, but since the q aint tat long, so i q-ed. and of cos, there are ppl who were just TOO lazy to q, and u know wad? when the line is opened... when its time for ppl to board the plane, the steward & stewardess checking the ics etc... my gudiness! u can just see how uneducated and uncivilized and inconsiderate those ppl are! those who were too lazy to q, they were actually RUSHING to the front FROM THEIR SEATS to check into the flite! my gudiness!

A simple man tells how his booking an air ticket for his father, his first flight, brought emotions and made him realize that how much we all take for granted when it comes to our parents.

My parents left for our native place on Thursday and we went to the airport to see them off. In fact, my father had never traveled by air before, so I just took this opportunity to make him experience the same. In spite of being asked to book tickets by train, I got them tickets on Lufthansa. The moment I handed over the tickets to him, he was surprised to see that I had booked them by air. The excitement was very apparent on his face, waiting for the time of travel. Just like aschool boy, he was preparing himself on that day and we all went to the airport, right from using the trolley for his luggage, the baggage check-in and asking for window seat and waiting restlessly for the security check-in to happen. He was thoroughly enjoying himself and I, too, was overcome with joy watching him experience all these things.

As they were about to go in for the securit ycheck-in, he walked up to me with tears in his eyes and thanked me. He became very emotional and it was not as if I had done something great but the fact that this meant a great deal to him. When he said thanks, I told him there was no need to thank me. But later, thinking about the entire incident, I looked back at my life.

As a child how many dreams our parents have made come true. Without understanding the financial situation, we ask for football, dresses, toys, outings, etc. Irrespective of their affordability,they have satisfied to all our needs. Did we ever think about the sacrifices they had to make to accommodate many of our wishes? Did we ever say thanks for all that they have done for us?

Same way, today when it comes to our children, we always think that we should put them in a good school. Regardless of the amount of donation, we will ensure that we will have to give the child the best, theme parks, toys, etc. But we tend to forget that our parents have sacrificed a lot for our sake to see us happy, so it is our responsibility to ensure that their dreams are realized and what they failed to see when they were young, it is our responsibility to ensure that they experience all those and their life is complete.

Many times, when my parents had asked me some questions, I have actually answered back without patience. When my daughter asks me something, I have been very polite in answering. Now I realize how they would have felt at those moments.

Let us realize that old age is a second childhood and just as we take care of our children, the same attention and same care need to be given to our parents and elders. Rather than my dad saying thank you to me, I would want to say sorry for making him wait so long for this small dream. I do realize how much he has sacrificed for my sake and I will do my best to give the best possible attention to all their wishes. Just because they are old does not mean that they will have to give up everything and keep sacrificing for their grandchildren also. They have wishes, too.

Take care of ur parents.
