3 Dedications

Sometime a message is easier to deliver through writing…especially, when the message is hard to communicate in person. So, if a message is written under the category of dedication and the target appears as anonymous, it is actually “someone” who has a place in my heart.

Always, I hope “someone” would read it and catch the meaning of the writing, or at least find the reading applicable to part of his/her life.

If you nodded with the message, then…the message is dedicated to you.

1st Dedication: Distance

I know you are not far from me. But, I felt you are million miles away from me. I can no longer understand that glimpse of your eyes, smile on your face, words that you write and heartbeat of your life. Yet, I think (I hope) life is good to you…more than what I can see and what I read. I hope this life you are having is like a dream come true, although there are no longer a place for me. Yet, I am happy for you and always keep you in my prayer.

2nd Dedication: Favorite

Have favor on me, I asked. I am a little cold, I little ignorance and I little “into my own world” but you know I have a warm beating heart. I am more than a “title” you used to call me. You can call me by my name when you see me and I will definitely reply you with a BIG smile because you are special to me.

3rd Dedication: Personhood

Male

I am shocked to know you broke off with her, yet the reason doesn’t surprises me. I guess, knowing your kind of character (not that I know you a lot)…this is unavoidable. I hope you are not blaming yourself for the incident, instead…began to understand what you really want in life. Sometime, it is when you know what you want and living it out, you will be able to attract the right girls into your life, which will be comfortable with the way you are. She will be able to compliment you in everything that you do, because she is just another you.

Female

Girl…I am glad you took the step. I know it is not an easy one but you made it. There are many twist and turn in life which is unavoidable, but it has strengthen you and made you a more attractive women. The journey of your womanhood has just began and be sure to add a few more splash of colour, living the best out of your life. You know God is faithful, and He will surely bless you.

Sign-off with love

Harvesting what you sow

Harvesting what you sow

“In every forest, on every farm, in every orchard on earth, it’s what’s under the ground that creates what’s above the ground. That’s why placing your attention on the fruits that you have already grown is futile. You cannot change the fruits that are already hanging on the tree. You can, however, change tomorrow’s fruits. But to do so, you will have to dig below the ground and strengthen the roots.”
- T. Harv Eker

The quote above is specially significant in this world wide economy downtime. It is time like this, you would really question your own strength and knowledge. What would you do if you were one of the victim in this down time? What can you do to earn a living? It is surely time to dig in to the root and change one perspective and attitude toward works and life.

You should truly praise God is you still earning your monthly salary and should truly stop complaining about what the company didn’t offer you – because truly now, it is the employer market. They will only choose those who can perform, those with good character and LOW COST (if possible).

I truly sad for those “LEGENDARY” skilled people, who is so highly paid, high profile becoming the crisis victim. I won’t think they deserve to be treated that way, as they are the pioneer that ignite our passion and uncovered our talent. However, it is just…sadly to say…time was really bad. It is time like this, all the sentimental value go straight down to the drain, and survivor nature shoot right to the surface.

Eventually, I truly hope…for those LEGENDARY skilled people, not to give up and stop complaining because complaining won’t bring you any further. It is like the wheat and weed grow together in the same field. The weed will stand tall and proud, but the wheat will humble his head because he is filled with knowledge and power. Eventually, during the harvest time, those without will be first to be cut away and thrown into fire.

Beside, if you think you are wheat, it is fine to bend (be flexible) as winner are those filled with knowledge and power, yet flexible to evolve and change, not those hard-headed insisting of standing tall and proud even though the burden is heavy, and the wind are strong.

I truly hope to see them on the stage once again, shining like the LEGENDARY Star I remembered.

Thinking of the most expensive poop!

I love traveling, but I haven’t been doing it for a while. To me, working trip and leisure traveling is totally different story all over. The experience and and expectation is different. So, my Hong Kong cum China trip last year, and Germany cum London trip early this year is merely a biz trip. If you work with me before, or know the way I work, I am usually very objective oriented person. I will focus on what I want to achieved rather than where I must go and what I must do during my biz trip.

So now, I am going for a real trip to Bali. It is a valentine gift from JP. He know my desire for freedom and personal sophisticated preference. So, I basically get to make the call of what or where I would go. The disadvantage is, I have to do the homework.  Urgh…

Bali is a beautiful island with nice beaches, nice architecture building (usually palace & temple) with very own Bali flavor and many concept hotel given different sensation based on different choice. To me, there is something I really really want to do… on top of the beautiful beaches, shopping and spa and….it is to discover the taste of the infamous Kopi Luwak (civet coffee). It can be found in an Orchid Garden in Denpasar. The unusual Indonesian bean sells for as much as $1,200 a kilogram in the United States, making it the world’s most expensive coffee.

The coffee, branded as among he rarest in the world, is naturally fermented through a civet cat’s digestive tract. Luwak- a cat-like mammal that lives in coffee plantations in Sulawesi, Java and Sumatra. Luwak exists entirely only the choicest, most perfectly matured beans which it then excretes, collected, clean it up, roast it and finally brewing these beans produces an unusual drink. The beans are hard to come by, which makes it exclusive and therefore, to some…very high class.

I am very tempted to try the coffee for years, yet after several days of research and reading…I am considering to drop the idea. Based on one of the feedback I found, the Kopi Luwak doesn’t taste as fantastic as it sounds. The idea of drinking the “poo” wasn’t a great sight to begin with, on top of that, I am not confident with the cleaning and brewing process prior to serving. Lastly, it would cost me RM120 for 2, the most expensive coffee I ever had in my life.

I am not sure if I am trying to convince you, or myself that I am not going for it…but anyway, do let me know if you tried it before or if I should go and give it a try.

Cheers! ^_~

My CNY 2009 Away

First of all, Happy Chinese New Year to ALL Chinese who celebrate Chinese New Year.

It was an extraordinary year for me. I have a good time visiting east Malaysia and celebrating Chinese New Year away from my own parent for the first time. I come to realize (although I should have known) that every family celebrate their Chinese New Year differently. All family do have the same new year eve dinner, the AngPao and the mandarine orange…yet it was different. Specially, the food we eat.

The food and the cooking style is very much different from my own family. Overall…they like it sweet. The new year dishes and the cookies are sweeter than average I had from my home. More meat dishes compares with vegetable and seafood.

I came from a farmer’s family, my grandfather is a farmer. I am very used to having more than 2 type of vege serving on the table among all the other meat and seafood. I always thought this is a common practise for all the others. Yet, I am wrong. I found out that my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law family, including my own in-law family are very much a meat eater. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law never had that much of vege untill they come to our family, which they take some time to get used to.

Beside, it is not common for others to eat Steamboat during CNY, but it is a must have in my parent’s house. ^_~ You have no idea how much I miss the steamboat and vegetables.

Yet, spending Chinese New Year with my in-law is very nice. It is always good to spend time together as a family. Having a 8 months old baby(JP’s niece) among us surely brighten up the long travelling from one place to another.

I had a good new year, how about you?

Dreamland for all…
