Fed up lah

My white car is giving problems again. Yes, again....and again...and again. Really fed up lah with this whole car problems. It seems there would be problems one after another with the two cars. It is quite irritating to spend countless time and efforts and not forgetting lots of money to correct the car problems. The last problem with the red car is the changing of the water tank. We thought that it is the radiator problem and is willing to consider buying Integra Radiator. However, it is the water tank that is leaking and we had to change the whole tank.

Now the white car could not start. Called my mechanic (who is always busy)and he told me to check the connnection which I did but to no avail. He promised that he would come to check the car. Hoping that he would fulfill his promise or else there would not be any Genting trip next week. Really getting fed up with the two old junks.

Smallest Countries - No 9

Meeting an old friend

I got a surprise call from an old friend today. Audra Darshini called me while I was at work. I have not met her for more than 5 years already. She said that she is here in Melaka for a week, supervising the work of the ministry. She is staying with her cousin in Jonker Street. The work that she is doing requires her to travel all over the country and overseas too. I can imagine her traveling through Europe and staying in Vacaciones Hoteles or any of the nice beautiful hotels.

It would be interesting to catch up on what has happened in the last few years. At least she is still faithful in the ministry while I has gone over to the "dark side". Hehehehe...but still faithful in the Lord. Hope that the meeting at Pay Chian's house this Wednesday would be a wonderful time together.

Smallest countries - No 10

Maldives takes the No 10 spot for the smallest countries. It is only 115 square miles. Only 200 of the 2000 Indian Ocean islands which make up this country are occupied by 340,000 residents. The islands gained independence from the U.K. in 1965.

Nicaragua

Putting history aside about Sandinista and The Iran-Contra Affair, nicaragua land is a beautiful place to visit. Those who loves to surf would surely find nicaragua surfing a memorable experience. The Pacific Ocean on the west of the country and the Caribbean Sea on the east provide Nicaragua with many beautiful beaches and big waves suitable for surfing.

It is not a surprise then that the nicaragua beach property are in great demand. As much as I would love to enjoy the big waves, I am no waves surfer. The only surfing I know is surfing the net. Who knows, I will be able to visit Nicaragua some day and learn to surf the waves. That would be a memorable experience.

Will she do it?

Made a call to wifey asking her to come to the shop after her work. Need her to look after the shop while I go and look for a printhead for my printer. As always, she will use any calls as an opportunity to update me on whatever that happened to her. Today, she said that her boss bought a gold bar. The gold bar was bought from wifey colleague's brother. Now the gold price has increased and it is predicted that the price will keep on increasing. Wifey's boss bought a kilogram of gold bar at a slightly lower than the market price.

Told my wife to consider doing the same. Well, not a kilogram as we would definitely cannot afford it but maybe in a smaller weight. Told her that it is much better to invest in gold rather than in bank saving accounts while yields so little interest. Hopefully wifey would agree to do so. Will she do it?

Fashion Schools

As parents, we always wants the best education for our children. If you are helping your children to look for fashion schools in california or fashion schools in los angeles, please check out www.fashion-school-finder.com.

It has a list of all the universities in California that offers fashion courses. Enrolling your child in fashion school in california is not a bad idea because you are living in Star City. They need new clothes and new design practically everyday!

Both are mistaken

Ok...will take a break from talking about politics. Not everybody is interested in politics. Maybe a humor picture would be best here. Enjoy.

Fight for your right

At the university graduation ceremony, the medical students received their scroll. As the names of the students are called to receive their scrolls, suddenly one voice from the back, a student from the law faculty shouted, "See you in court!". Hehehehe...... lawyers and doctors seems always at loggerhead.

As not all doctors are an expert in every medical cases, there tends to be miscalculated diagnosis of their patients. If you have been prescribed with Trasylol and have suffered the side effect of the drug, then you should engage Trasylol claim attorneys and claim for the damages. Never, never let negligence of others destroy your future. Let them pay for it or at least make sure that you are not the total victim. To all the doctors, please ensure that you know what you are prescribing to your patients. Their future are in your hand.

Do you want to join too?

Okay, for those who feels the same way like I do about the BN and want to find an alternative political party to support, do consider DAP. The DAP is doing membership drive campaign and are looking for future leaders of this country. If you are interested to join DAP, you can email me for further details. Come, join me.

Voice of tomorrow

Yeahhhhhhh.... I did it, I did it, I signed up as a DAP member. After considering the various facts that happened in this country, my choice of political party is now DAP. I have been a strong supporter of the BN in the past but what happened in the past few years have changed my mind. UMNO has been too arrogant (or at least, some of the leaders in UMNO) and think that they can bulldozed their way in everything that want to do. Their leaders think that they are invincible and that the Malays will blindly support them. Maybe they think the Malays are a stupid bunch who will just obey and follow the UMNO leaders.

My deepest condolences to MCA and also MIC, the component parties in BN who are mere puppets for UMNO arrogant leaders. Looks like MCA and MIC have failed to uphold the interest of their respective supporters. So now, I pledge my support to DAP. Show me how you leaders exercise the powers entrusted to you and if you do well, you will continue to gain my support.

Kratom

"What is kratom leaf?", I asked my wife who was beside me doing her blogging and chatting with her friends at the same time. It was to my surprise that she has an answer to my question and without delay she answered. "It is to enhance and prolong sexual intercourse."

Wah! I heard of "kesum leaf" which is found in my country and the name kratom sounds familiar which I immediately equate it as kesum. However, kesum leaf is used for cooking especially if you want to cook curry dishes. Upon further research, the local names for the kratom is "ketum". Usage of kratom leaf can be addictive and it is banned in many countries. Like any other drugs, if it is use positively for the right purpose, kratom do have medicinal benefits. Do your research thoroughly before you purchase products that consisted of kratom as its ingredients as it can get you on high.

Friends who drinks with you

I always received emails that encourages me to treasure my friends. Well, in most circumstances it is true that friends would be there when we need them but not in all cases. I don't think it is wise to have drinking buddies who treats you worse than your enemies.... like this guy.

The moral of the story is...don't drink and be careful of who your friends are.

At the right time

Ever wish that you are at the right place at the right time? Most of us are at the wrong place or at the wrong time most of the times. It takes patience, insight and wisdom and sometimes perseverance to be at the right time in the right place. This bear is one example of it.

Hospitality offer

When told that we will be going to Genting for a short holiday, my brother asked me to stay over in his house for a day before the actual Genting trip. Well, his house is nearer to Genting than any of my other brother's house. Furthermore, it is also an opportunity to bring my mother along to visit him. Told him that we have yet to decide on the itinerary and would confirm the details of the trip later. We have yet to ask mother whether she would like to follow along.

I am sure there would not be any hospitality offer if we want to go to other countries. We would have to make our own arrangement for hotels and places to visit. Should we want to visit the Big Apple, we can find New York Hotel Deal online. Accommodation is one of the most important arrangement for a holiday. A good place to stay would always make the trip memorable. As for now, I am very thankful for the hospitality offer from my brother.

Greener Pasture

One customer came to the shop and asked for help regarding his online game ID. He forgotten about this ID and asked me to check it out for him, which I did. Then to my surprise he started talking about his work. He told me that he is going to Bahrain to work as a chefs in one of the five stars hotel. That is also another surprise to me to know that he is the Sous-Chefs. It reminds me of the movie Ratatouille.

Anyway, as we talked he mentioned that it is better to work overseas compared to Malaysia. The pay is one factor to consider but another important factor is the way people treats you. Your success depends on how hard you work. Opportunities are given to everyone and there is not much favoritism based on colors. He told me that it is easier to get Unsecured Business Loans in other countries like UK and America. He said that it is not easy to apply for Unsecured Business Loans for the sum of $10000 - $250000, to which I can readily concur with him. Even for my own business, I cannot get any Unsecured Business Loans from the bank but had to depend on family members for the business capital. Looks like the pasture are greener in other countries. Hmm… should I work in other countries… maybe I should try.

I'm getting fat lah

My wife told me that she is getting fat. I nodded. Of course she will get fat. I have not seen her do any exercises for a long time. I think the last time she did her aerobic dance with Paula Abdul is before she conceived Barnabas, which is about 3 years ago. Hmm... how not to grow fat if there is no exercises done for so long.

As for me, I am growing fatter now. Same reason as my wife, lack of exercises. Although I do have my once a week soccer game it is still insufficient to maintain a healthy body. A few days ago while went shopping I saw a punching bag for sale. It is sold at a cheap price so I quickly bought it. At least I do have one fitness equipment at home where I can use to train my body. Hopefully with the punching bag I will be more motivated to keep a healthy body. I planned to buy more fitness equipments as my free time to go for cardiovascular exercises are quite limited. At the same time, regular fasting every week would do wonders too for my body besides the spiritual benefits. Must keep the fat at bay.

Balancing act

What is so special about this picture? Look at the bicycle with the yellow color thing. Yes, it is a refrigerator.

Not only he has to secure it to his bicycle but he has balance his bicycle while riding it. Hmm...and lots of energy to cycle with the heavy load.

Chat rooms

Most of my customers love to chat. Some chat with their real friends but most of them chat with people whom they do not know in real life.

I do hope they would not be in this situation shown in the picture.

Election and gas price

This coming election as usual produced various issues that are hotly talked about. Almost all the political parties have taken one issue among others to get the support of the people. The most popular topic that they talked about is the price of oil that is still increasing. The main political party maintained that the increase in oil price is not within their control as it is governed by international demand and supply. The opposition promises that if they are in control, they will make sure that the price of oil and various essentials would not be increased.

Whatever it is, the sure thing is that the price of gas has increased. It might be good to consider applying for Gas Credit Cards where you can reduce your spending on gas. As the price of most things are increasing, whatever small things like using the Gas Credit Card can help to reduce your expenses in the long term. The politicians can talk and talk as much as they want but if it is only talks and no action, then it will still come to nothing. Vote wisely.

Fear Factor

I think this man can enter the Fear Factor contest and can easily win. It is no joke to be able to go from one end to the other end of the rope. It requires strength, formidable strength on the arms. What more with the feet holding on the bicycle. Waseh.....

Amazing CPU Casing

Some people are really devoted to their interests. I would have never want to spend time and money to remodel or create this CPU casing. I guess if you have the passion for it, you will surely do what you want to do.

This CPU casing looks nice though. Can become an antique or sell as rare item. Maybe it is worth more than the actual value.

Study put on hold

Do you know that you can further your study online. Yes, if time and location are hindrances for you to continue studying, then you should consider studying online. Check out Capella University that offers various courses online. One of the popular courses is the mba online which you can find the details on their website. Of course, if you want to study online, you will need to have internet access and a computer. It is better to have your own computer and then you can study at home. Alternatively, you can come to my internet shop and get online there. There are a few of my customers are doing that. They took an online course and would come to the internet shop to do their studies and research. They can even print out whatever resources and materials for their own reference later. Do not put on hold the dreams you have to continue your studies. Do it online.

Fully Equipped

Alas, all the computers at the shop are equipped with webcam and headsets. In the past there are about 10 computers that are equipped with webcam. All do have headsets but due to wear and tear and mishandling by the customers, a few of the headsets cannot be used. Today, the dealer came and I bought the webcams and the headsets. Prayerfully, all the equipments will last long. Now, the customers need not request to change computers because of no webcam or headsets. Better service for the customers

The other side

A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."

Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."

"You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"

The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing. I know my Master is there and that is enough."

Tuition Centre

A friend of mine came to the shop and shared his business plan. He plans to open a tuition centre in the same vicinity near my shop. We talked about it and I managed to give him a few pointers and issues that he needs to deal with. It is always good to talk to other business people as they may have the experience and tips that we can learn from.

Once he can find the right premises to set up the centre, he has to look for moving companies to bring all the equipments needed for the centre. I am sure he does not want to trouble himself by transporting the equipments all by himself. It is much more convenient and time-saving to engage a moving company to do the hard work for you. I am hoping the he is able to find the premise that is near my internet shop. This will help my business to grow as the students would patronize my shop before or after their tuition hours.

Does it matter?

Before I ordered the T-Shirt, I inquired from my staff about the colors of the T-Shirt. He likes light blue while I prefers bright orange color. Thought of having 2 different colors but when I arrived at the T-Shirt shop, there seems that there is not many options available. Furthermore, the lady in charge seems a bit reluctant to do "extra" effort since the price has been reduced to RM28 a piece.

Since that is the situation at the shop, I just choose one color for the T-Shirt. It would be bright orange. It is a colour which symbolizes energy, zest, enthusiasm and creativity. One who wears orange is known to be someone who loves to experiment. The colour orange signifies an open-minded approach. It gives vibes of friendship, fun and informality. Hahaha....not that I or my staff do have all these qualities but hopefully in due time some of these qualities will shine out.

So, I guess....it does matter which color to chose.

T-Shirt ordered

After further bargaining with the T-Shirt designer, they agreed to reduce the T-shirt price from RM35 to RM28 per piece. The shirt itself cost about RM20 while the sewing of the business logo and wordings cost about RM15. Since they agreed to reduce the price to RM28, I agreed to order 6 pieces. Three shirts will be given to Andy and I will take the other 3 pieces. However, have to wait for 3 weeks before the shirts can be ready.

Information and blog

It is very easy to communicate with others if they have internet access. Most young people who have internet access would have signed up with myspace, friendsters and would know how to chat online. It is convenient to share information and updates of oneself. I myself have not only one but a few blogs, each for different purposes.

I know my brother has a blog but then he still has yet to post his newborn daughter's photos on his blog. Having a blog does not necessarily mean that you have the time to update it regularly. People can use blog even for business purposes. It is not surprising that many businesses know the importance of having their own business blog. You can even find accounting blog or other niche blog that is of your interest. Even if you do a search online, the first few results would normally indicated that the information you are looking for are posted in various blogs. So, if you something to share to everybody, start a blog.

Where's the photos lah?

My brother was blessed with a baby daughter a week ago. Until now there is still no photos send to the others. Where are the photos lah? Send lah to the yahoogroup. Anyway, heard from mother that the baby has jaundice though not so severe. Praying for the baby's health.

Her hair is growing

Received an email from Sis Bebe. Looks like she is doing fine and will be doing her 2nd tablet chimo this Friday. Seen her without the wig. She still looks pretty without the wig. It reminds me of Demi Moore in one of her movies where Demi had to shave her head bald.

Sis Bebe's hair is growing now, slowly but surely. Praying that her hair will grow fast and black in color.

Extra income

Andy requested for his EPF deductions recently. He has been working for me for about 4 months now. Last year it was on a part time basis but changed to being a full time staff beginning this year. It is great to have him as I really need to have someone that I can trust to handle the money. It is problematic to have staffs that are not honest or sincere in their work.

Anyway, I told him that there need to be some changes in the salary if he wants the EPF deduction. This is due that I can only afford to pay him a certain amount for his salary. The business has yet to yield the targeted monthly income and as such it is very difficult for me to pay more. I am trying my best to minimize cost.

Having said all that, I truly believes that God knows what is needed, both by Andy and myself. Am praying that He will release His blessings upon the business that it will provide not only sufficient amount but abundantly. If not, then maybe Andy and I have to look for other jobs for more income. Maybe I will look for any spa jobs so that I enjoy the spa after my working hour. But then can a guy be accepted to work in the spa?

Waseh....

Wah... it is now already 9.10pm and yet the shop is empty. There are only 3 customers using the computers. Where are the customers? Normally, it would be full at this hour. Hmmm... what could have happened?

(A prayer uttered to God in silence.)

I got new spec

Yesterday, I received a call from Eye To Eye optical shop asking wifey to go and do a second check-up on her eyes. We went there on Tuesday night to check our eyesight and I ordered my new spectacle.

When we arrived there, wifey went to do her eye check-up and I was presented with my new spectacle. No major difference from the old one except the difference in the lens power. I prefers my spec to cover all angles of my vision. It is very irritating to have two different visions, one clear and one blur. It is UV protected and EMI (against computer monitor rays) which is what I needed most.

Hoping that my eyesight will improve further.

Now it is my turn

We spent quite a big some repairing my wife's car. We had to change the water tank and unfortunately the mechanic use a good brand water tank for our old junk. Common sense dictate that it is not necessary to use expensive branded water tank for an old junk. Anyway, since it had already been fixed, we had no choice but to accept it.

Today, I sent my car for repair. The front brake got jammed and because of that the car cannot move fast. It also has the burning smell. I was contemplating on whether to send it to the Tyre shop that fix the brake pad or just to the nearby mechanic. Thank God for leading me to send the car to the nearby mechanic. He serviced the brake pump instead of recommending to change it. Earlier, the Tyre shop did not do a good job when servicing the brake pump resulting in the brake jammed. After servicing the brake pump and changing the absorber (another problem with the car), the total amount is not as much as I expected although it is still a big hole in my pocket.

I am seriously thinking of getting a second hand car. There are some used cars from Used Cars Austin, Texas that interests me, if only I stay in Texas. Anyway, I am praying that the present car would not give frequent problems or I will definitely get a used car soon.

Reminder to myself - part 2

Now that you are getting better and no longer having flu, make sure that you keep yourself warm at night. Taking DOM Benedictine before sleep does help. But don't drink coffee or teh tarik. If you take coffee or Teh Tarik, you would not be able to sleep. English tea like Boh or Lipton tea is okay for you. And please stay away from air-conditioned places or windy places. Keep yourself healthy by taking supplements like Usana Essentials. If you don't, then you will most likely get cough after your flu.

Reminder to myself - part 1

When you are having flu, do not fast. It would make it even worse. Eat, eat and eat. By eating you are making your body work more and this produces more heat, which in turn will help to contain and reduce the flu.

Date fixed

Yes, we finally agreed on the date for our vacation. We planned earlier to try out Cancun Vacations but due to time and financial constraints, we decided to go to Genting Highlands. If we ever decided to go to Cancun, it would be only the two of us, minus the children. This time round, the children will follow us up to Genting. This would be their first time to Genting Theme Park and I know they would really enjoy themselves there, having fun going for the rides. Hoping that everybody would be healthy and there would not be any problems occurring before, during and after the trip. Oh ya, the date is end of March and 1st of April this year. We wanted to go earlier but since election is coming we decided to postpone it to after the election. Hoping we would have an enjoyable holiday there.

Our own business T-shirts

Am planning to have our own business shirt. I want to build a good image of the business and I believe by having our own collar T-shirt, it would create a good impression on my customers. Of course, the most important factor is good service. Providing good service would always be our top priority. Good and friendly service will always make returning customers. Well, I know there are more things that can be improved and I plan to do that in due time.

Promotion Month

God has been great. Or in my circumstances, the better phrase is that God has been faithful. Faithful to his promises that is written in His Word. As He led me to take that step of faith, He has been faithful to His promises to look after the business. It has been a struggle for me to consider closing the shop on Sundays as Sundays are normally the biggest earners. Anyway, I am glad that I have chosen to trust Him rather than the ways of the world.

I know that I need and can do more to promote the business. As such, starting with the month of February, various steps have been taken and will be taken to promote the business. At this moment, promotion leaflets would be printed out and distributed to the various residential areas. And to do this, I would have to pay someone to do the distribution. The Program E-Melaka would also be promoted and prayerfully this would be a source of additional income for Andy and the business. May more and more customers get to know about our services and flock in to use it.

Shannelle Bong

Received a call on Tuesday morning from my younger brother. He brings good news to my mother. My mother has another grandchild. He has another newborn daughter. Wah... the daughter was born on his birthday. Father and daughter having the same birthday. Now they can celebrate their birthdays together. And I am sure the daughter will always remember her father's birthday too.

Later that day, it was conveyed through the email that the newborn baby's name is Shannelle Bong. Congratulations wishes are now conveyed through the email. I wonder whether anybody send to them wholesale roses or any bouquet of flowers. Thank God that both baby and mother are doing fine.

Eyes getting better

Wifey wanted to change a new spectacles as she thinks that her current spectacles is no longer suitable for her eyes. So, we drove to an optometrician's shop at Ayer Keroh. By the time we reached the shop, it is already 8.26pm and it is closing. So, we drove back and along the way, wifey saw an optical shop having promotions. The shop is at Melaka Baru. So we stop by and had our eyes checked. I too need a new spectacles as my current one is over 3 years old and one of the glasses has a small crack.

Upon examining our eyes, it was discovered that my eyes are getting better. Previously the spectacle power is 1.25 for each eyes. Now, it has dropped to 1.00 each. Furthermore, there is no more astigmatism on my left eye. That is indeed good news.

Wifey eyes are still good and there's no increase to the spectacle's power. So, she bought a new spectacle, trendy look, for back-up. Quite expensive lah the price of spectacles nowadays, RM180 each. Anyway, I will try and make my vision better this year.

Recovering Now

Down with running nose on Sunday and Monday. Even had to come back early from work on Monday as the body is really not up to it. Almost wanted to close the shop and go home by 1pm but after lunch, the energy returned and managed to cope until Andy came to work at 3.45pm. Yes, had to ask him to come early as I know it would be too stressful for my body if I continue working until 6pm.

Today, thank God, the body is recovering and getting healthy again. Not 100% recovered but I'm much much better now. Hoping to be fully recovered soonest possible with the help of USANA Essentials and Proflavanol. Of course, it is God who heals. Must never forget that.

Wear and tear

I wonder whether I should apply for a Call Center VoIP Phone Systems for my business. There are some customers especially the foreign workers who wants to chat with their family members in their country. Well, of course they can use Yahoo Messenger or Windows Live Messenger and chat with anyone who is online but there a problem to it. Most of my headphone are without microphone. The microphone parts are either broken or no longer working. The boys who play games would turn and twist the microphone until it is broken. This is vandalism but it is quite hard to monitor as it is done while we are not watching. So, I have just to consider it as part of wear and tear of the products.

I am getting a new batch of headphone, maybe with a separate microphone to avoid the same problems. I might consider VoIP Phone Systems if the needs for overseas calls are high. I might even generate some income from it.

She needs to learn patience

It always happened to her (my wife) when we went out for dinner or a meal. We would be there at the restaurant and ordered our food and drinks. Others would come in later than us and while waiting for the food, we noticed that the others received their food first. We were then left waiting for our food, WHICH WE ORDERED EARLIER THAN OTHERS. When that happens, I can see the changes on her face. Told her that it is an opportunity for her to develop patience. Hahaha...unfairness can be turned into an opportunity.

Car repair costly lah

The red car had to be sent for repair. There is some problem with the water tank and wifey had to fill it up everyday. So we decided to send it to the workshop. Went there and we were told that the servicing charge is only RM60. Well, good and fine, so we left the car and went back. Then there is call from the workshop saying that we need to change the water tank and this would cost us RM450 inclusive of the servicing charges. What can we do except to agree to it. After bargaining, the shop agreed to lower it to RM420. Much to our surprise, we received another call once the water tank is changed. It seems that there is an additional cost as the water tank cover has to be paid separately. That is an additional RM25. We felt cheated but helpless too. Wifey did online search and found out that some water tank models does not come together with the cover. That gives the benefit of the doubt to the shop. Anyway, I don't think I want to send my car to the shop in the future. Will try out other shops.
