The customer service commitment of no.1 bank in Malaysia- Maybank Berhad

31st December 2008 is the last day of year 2008. I would like to take this opportunity to buy some stock from the share market. Blue chips like Resorts, Genting, Star are my first choice. To me, it is the right timing to go in to the weakened share market.

Again, the Malaysia no.1 bank, Maybank has failed me one more time. I am unable to log-in to my on-line stock trading account. After several attempt of trying, I have decided to contact the customer care via 1-300-88-6688.

The frustration is the so called no.1 bank in Malaysia delegates a machine operator to communicate with its valued customers. After selecting the preferred language, chosen the type of service (Maybank2U enquiry), and finally opt to speak to a human being, the phone was put on hold while waiting for the customer executive to pick up my call.

“Sorry, our customer executives are still busy, please hold we will attend to you shortly,” This sentence repeated for more than 15 minutes until I fed up and hang up the phone.

I have then made a call to Aseambanker (the stock trading subsidiary of Maybank). The customer care executive can’t really help and re-directed me to the so-called 24 hours Maybank customer care line. I asked if there is any alternate number because I have been waited for 15 minutes and nobody is attending to my call. The customer care executive seems like really understanding on my frustration and replied,” Sir, this is the only customer care number for Maybank2U.com enquiry.”

Without alternate choice, I give myself another try as well as giving another chance to Maybank to prove its customer service commitment. As expected, I have been put on hold for another 15 minutes and yet nobody is attending to me.

Is this the quality of customer service that the no.1 bank in Malaysia- Maybank Berhad providing to the customers?

Push Pocket in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I am sure you all have heard of 'pick pocket'. A new trend 'push pocket'. Read on for your own good.

A few days ago a new type of crime has surfaced in town. It goes something like this:
Somebody slips a hand-phone into your pocket, sometimes it could be just a wallet with an identity card and a few Ringgit.

A few minutes later, the 'owner' comes up and confronts you, the 'thief '. He makes a big commotion that you stole his stuff.

You, caught unaware, are then pulled aside by the 'owner' for a settlement. You are intimidated and threatened that if you do not pay up the police will be brought in. If you pay up, this 'owner' lets you go. If not, the police are brought in.

Another strange thing is that there always seems to be a 'witness' to your 'theft'.

I am told this often happens to foreigners at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) or even at LRT trains. Given that you're 'guilty until proven innocent' as far as t he Malaysian police are concerned, I understand some poor people are in jail for these 'offences'.

At the KLIA, the 'owner' throws his hand-phone and wallet with the few Ringgit notes into the luggage trolley of a just arrived passenger. The drama unfolds a few minutes later. The real culprit has easily convinced our Malaysia police to arrest the real victim (if he has not paid up the 'settlement' demand). This is a very serious matter.

This is another form of extortionists operating in broad daylight. They are disgusting criminals who will do anything to rob and steal. The sickening part of the whole scenario is that unless you pay the 'quoted settlement' money, they will put you in real trouble by calling the police.

The real culprit gets back his hand-phone and wallet but the real victim (i.e. could be any one of us) is thrown into the police lock up and charged in court.

So do be very careful, otherwise you may end up as a 'thief' as you have no way to prove your innocence.

Pass it on. let more people be aware of such things around them.

養成一上車就上鎖的習慣

我老婆開車載著我心愛的小Baby去買炒麵
車子就停在一家快炒的攤子前,
因為車上有 Baby ,
所以就搖下車窗叫老闆弄,沒下車.
然後再把車窗搖上和小Baby 玩 ,
我老婆有一個習慣
人在車上,一定要上中控鎖,無論是發動或停止。
前有一輛銀色的休旅車, 兩個人,
兩個人都走下車.看起斯斯文文的,
走過我們的車,我老婆和小Baby正玩得開心,
突然後座,'ㄆㄧㄚ'!!的一聲
我老婆嚇一跳!!
驚覺有人要開我們的車門

因為鎖住,他們又裝作若無其事的走回去車上。
我老婆說給我聽的時候 ,
我覺得太不可思議了 ,
這事情就在光天化日下發生 ,
如果沒有鎖的話,我真的不敢想像會發生什麼事情
希望大家有上鎖的習慣 ,
他們都是從後座下手的.
因為這樣最容易制服一個人 ,
況乎車上有小Baby,
你會放他不管就下車嗎 ？
看到這消息真是令我感到驚訝,
以前都是接到別人轉手好幾次的訊息 ,
都不太覺得害怕,這真的十分重要!

我爸媽上個月底到新莊的台北醫院探望親戚,
之後準備到地下停車場開車回家,
當把車子開上來在收費亭繳錢後,
出來一轉剛好遇到紅燈就停下來,
就在此時中控鎖尚未自動鎖門 ,
兩名青年就這樣從後門左右個別進入坐到後
還好我爸媽反應快,馬上拔掉安全帶及車鑰匙後, 迅速站在外 面,
那兩人一樣不動聲色的坐著,
我媽拉大嗓子跟他們吼說 :
'我們也有很多人在醫院樓上要不要叫他們下來?'
後來他們走出車外說'對不起,坐錯車了'(怎麼可能.分明是要搶劫)
然後旁邊一台車(有兩人在內)迅速開來載走他們.....
真是十分恐怖 !
以前我們家的車雖有中控鎖,但不會自動在開車後鎖門,
而換車後我們又太依賴自動鎖.....
所以人千萬不要太鐵齒 ,
一直認為自己不會碰到,
但現在實在是越來越多搶劫詐騙案件 ,
請大家還是要多加注意.....
切記 !一上車就要鎖門

昨天突然心血來潮開車去幼稚園接我小兒子下課! 紅燈時 !
我的車停在路口算來約第三部或第四部。
過一會兒,突然有一部摩托車停在我車子旁邊,
車上有兩個約20歲左右的年輕男生。
以摩托車的習性而言,除非是躲陽光,
否則在前面有還有空位時摩托車通常還會往前停。
但昨天台北下著毛毛雨,不可能是躲陽光。

更奇怪的是,他們兩人還一直往我車內張望,
因為覺得奇怪, 所以也看了他們一眼。
然後綠燈了,起步了,
就在起步的同時,
我聽到其中一個人用閩南語說:'車門都鎖起來了'
然後車子就騎走了 ,
聽到話的同時,我楞了一下,等到發現他們的企圖時,
我開始覺得害怕,但是想去看他們的車牌時已經來不及了。
事後回想,他們當時的企圖要不就是搶車,要不就是搶錢!
更可怕的是,也許會打開我的後門把我兒子抱走, 然後綁架勒贖 !
如果我當時車門沒有上鎖,或許人多車多時他們不會有動作
但他們可以尾隨,伺機行動。

之前也曾聽說有人一上車,車門還沒鎖,旁邊就有人開了後門坐進車內,
拿刀架在駕駛人脖子上搶劫的事。
想提醒大家的是,現在車子都有中控鎖,為了自己的安全,
一上車就要記得把中控鎖按下去,外面的人想開車門時才不容易得逞。
只是一個小動作,但卻可能避免一個社會新聞的發生!
之前提醒過身邊其他人很多次,但是真正放在心上的人不多。
昨天遇到的事情讓我慶幸自己養成了一上車就上鎖的習慣,
現在景氣不好,想走捷徑的人那麼多 。

請大家一定要多花點心思和時間保護自己,
無法想像這種事情如果發生在自己或是關心的人的身上,那種錐心刺骨的痛會有多深切 !

The market is bad now, so does the safety level surrounding us.

In the month of December 2008, one of my friend has lost her car at the car park, one of my customer has been robbed by armed robbers, one of my colleague has lost his laptop while it was travelling in the car with him (the snatch theft broken the car windscreen and take it away just like that).

The social security outlook is alarming, be cautious, do whatever you can to ensure that you are safe.

請珍惜你身边的傻女人

女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而拋下自己的父母,來照顧那男人的父母;但男人不用。

女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而寧願自己挺顆又重又大的球十個月,只為了替那男人生下一個跟男人姓的下一代;還得承受生完小孩後的體質變差、身材變形的後遺症,但男人不用。

女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而放棄一卡車追求他的好男人,只為和男人長廂廝守,卻埋沒了最美的青春;但男人卻不為青春所懼,反而愈老愈值錢。

女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而放棄父母給她二十多年的姓,而跟著老公姓,又被冠上'太太'二字;但男人沒變。

女人有時真的好傻, 可以為了愛一個男人,而早上上班,晚上煮飯做家事帶小孩,有工作也有家事的壓力;但男人沒差,反而多了個賺錢的人和不用給薪的女傭。

女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而去適應一個完全不同的家庭和面對男人的親友團批評,女人懂事的試圖尋求男人的保護時,換來的是...男人不僅沒有保護他的女人,反而一起落井下石,在一個女人孤力無援的環境裡。

男人啊 ! 若你您的身邊有這樣的一個傻女人時,請當她的笨男人,好好的珍惜她、照顧她吧。

別忘了,她不是天生就該來照顧你們全家大小的,女人很單純也很懂事,只要當她受傷時,好好傾聽她、支持她、保護她,為她拭淚,她就會感動一輩子。

更別忘了,當男人年老時或生病時為您把屎把尿的,絕不是已老的也要您照顧的父母,最有可能的就是從年輕到老,始終在您身邊的女人。

女人们,你们赞同吗？
男人们,你们有珍惜吗？

Marco's comment

Many friends of mine preferred to return home late night every working days. The lame excuse given was they (men) need to entertain customers after work, business discussion with so-called clients, and etc.

In fact, they are just entertaining themselves. They go for happy hour, SPA, KTV, clubbing and so forth. The true reason that make them stay away from home during week days is this group of men enjoy night life, and by putting the working as excuse, it seems to be valid, especially if the wife is not working.

What do you think? Do you value your wife? Or just looking around for 'lust'?

所有員工在職時都很重要, 離職後都不重要。

在職場不做徒勞無功的事

記得以前有位同事離職前多拉了幾個人走,以為會對公司的業務造成影響,經我觀察的結果做了結論:完全沒有影響,缺人找人,頂多資深員工辛苦點,對公司來說,「所有員工在職時都很重要,離職後都不重要」,沒有一個員工是非留不可的,這似乎就是職場常態近20年以來,我長時間在美台兩地以理財專家的立埸談理財,幫助客戶及社會大眾做好理財。

我常強調做好理財的目的是錢盡其用,讓錢發揮最大的效用,一個相關的重要原則就是凡事講究划算。

我覺得以這樣的現實觀點來看工作,和我倡議的『回到蠻荒』觀點倒是有相通的地方,那就是不做徒勞無功的事,或沒有成果的事。

蠻荒的動物都能秉持這樣的原則工作。所以依現實的原則看工作,現代人工作的目的應該只是為了能賺錢,除此以外無他。

以下是探討這類觀點的專家所提供的一些工作原則,不妨做為參考:

原則 1:工作真的只是一份工作
不要期待工作與生活能兼顧,事實上也沒幾個人能將工作與生活成功的整合起來,工作並不是生活,我們工作是為了要過生活,或保有自己所喜歡的生活。

想想看,你一天或一個禮拜能有多少時間和家人相處,或和親朋好友去做一些你喜歡做的事,就可以知道要兼顧工作與生活是不可能的。工作只是工作,目的是為了賺錢。

原則 2 :不要害怕換工作
工作既是為了賺錢,只要可能賺更多錢,或做起來更愉快、更有滿足慼,何妨就換工作？

而且,以這樣的原則換工作,收入當然會越換越多,跳槽可能也會變得稀鬆平常。

只要每次工作時都全力以赴,有稱職的表現,對雇主和業界都能交代,應該隨時可以找到下一個工作的機會。

原則 3:一鳥在手勝過十鳥在林
很多公司都聲稱他們有優渥的福利制度,包括退休金計劃。可是不斷有事實告訴我們,越來越多的人在屆滿退休之前就失去工作了。所以爭取眼前的福利可能更實際,比較值得期待,例如包括健康醫療保障在內的團體保險、托嬰照顧、親職休假、績效獎金的分發,增加加班費或年終獎金等等。

原則 4:謀生本事不厭其多
新世紀的工作與收入可能會變得不穩定,產業的興衰或輪替也會變得快速無比,在同一家企業內辛苦一輩子可能會以失業收場。

所以橫向拓展各方面的技能,會比縱向的在企業的組織內向上攀爬追求位高權重還要實際。其實現在已有不少企業也『學會』了一些聰明的技巧,對授予好聽的高階職位並不吝惜,可以讓你擁有耀眼的頭銜,但對薪資增加並沒有多大幫助。

與其追求這種虛名,不如讓自己能具備十八般武藝可以多方面賺錢,隨時跳槽。

原則 5 :做好份內工作就回家去
再提醒你,工作只是工作,公司少了你一個人的工作,照樣可以運轉下去。

踏實的學習你的工作所該具備的技能,努力做好你的工作,但不要奢望你可以憑一己之力多為公司創造多少業績或產能。

不要因此耗掉你大量的私人時 間,讓自己從生活中抽離出來。記住,做好自己份內的工作,然後回家去。

原則 6:遠離辦公室政治
你工作的目的是為賺取合理的收入,而不是追求虛名與權位,所以不用在心思在辦公室政治上。

當紅炸子雞可能因改朝換代而去職走路,被冰凍的失志衰老也可能鹹魚翻身。

與其耗費時間介入這些無實際意義的辦公室鬥爭,不如多花時間在自己的家庭。

女生要注意囉．被騙了這麼久，原來橫條比直條還瘦？

上個月有一個有趣的報導，傳遍了英國、南非與印度。你覺得，胖子應該穿直條衣，還是橫條衣，看起來會比較瘦？

夜市看衣服，很少會同時有一件橫條和一件直條讓我們「比比看」，所以我們老是認為，橫條的看起來會更胖，一定要盡量買直條的。

結果英國科學家找來200張模特兒，真的讓她們穿上「橫條」與「直條」的同樣款式的衣服（如上圖），兩張照片對照，拿給更多的實驗者看，結果很震撼：認為「橫條」的比較瘦的，竟然比「直條」的還多了足足 6%。

他們說，其實這件事早在18世紀就知道了，德國的物理學家Hermann von Helmholtz畫了兩個正方型（如圖下），左邊的方形裡面都是橫線，右邊的都是直線，你看看，哪個方形較「胖」？

橫的哪裡胖了！是直的比較胖吧？

當年這位物理學家曾寫給女性時尚界，他當時的解釋是，橫條會看起來「較高」，因此就「較瘦」。但顯然沒人記得這件事。

我們就在想，穿橫條紋的看起來會胖，是捌？是誰說的？真的嗎？

若真的穿直條較胖，他們說或許有個不太科學的解釋可解釋這件事──女性身型，本就有弧度，若穿直條的，那個條紋會跟著妳的幅度而跑來跑去，將身材勾勒了出來，胖子就無所遁形。從這邊我們竟也看到一個創業機會──那，只要是不會跟著幅度跑或刻意修幅度的直條衫，就有瘦身的錯覺囉？

還沒找到這件錯覺衣服前，應該考慮買幾件，以前總避之危恐不及的「橫條」來搭搭看了。

Old Town White Coffee- take your time

More than half a year ago, my wife and me were on one day leave to do some banking and financial arrangements.

On the way back to home, we were passing by a newly opened OldTown White Coffee outlet at Old Klang Road, Kuala Lumpur. We made an instant decision to drop by to enjoy a cup of coffee at the no hurry atmosphere.

It was such a precious moment that both of us were enjoying as we were not rushing as normal working day. Most of the city folks were rushing to work in the early morning, rushing to pick up the kids after work, rushing back to home before the moon changing shift with the sun, rushing to bed as tomorrow is going to be another busy day and etc.

I am still looking forward to enjoy this kind of relaxing moment with my wife, probably we shall have it at least once a month.

On 1st December 2008, theSun newspaper has published an advertorial of OldTown White Coffee, it explains how people lives in the old days, to me, this is how we shall live, as life shouldn’t be constantly in hurry. To live at leisure pace, let’s practise work life balance as a start.

Facts about OldTown: 50,000 people with only one doctor. How does OldTown cope?

They don’t. Because no one at OldTown gets sick. Amazing, you might say. How can one town be illness-free? Do they work out everyday? Do they takes tons of multi-vitamins, antioxidants and all those things that us normal folk ingest to have a healthy life? No.

To the people of OldTown, it’s really quite simple. They do things at an easy pace. They take their time but not in a painstaking, call-them-procrastinators way. But the kind that makes them enjoy each and every moment. Minute by minute. Second by second.

This no-rush attitude doesn’t mean doing less or having lower productivity. Rather, it means working and doing things with greater quality, perfections, with attention to detail and less stress. So multi-tasking to them is considered a big no-no.

People in OldTown tend to hangout a lot, too. It’s usually done in a typical OldTown coffee shop with cups of White Coffee. Coffee that is roasted so well, it results to a distinctive taste and deliciously strong aroma. So, there’s more coffee in every cup. That’s why people in OldTown take their time to savour each and every cup.

And let’s not forget the food. The really delicious food. Cuisine that OldTown is very much known for. This is the kind of food that’s worth taking your time to eat. Because it’s that good.

Now what to do while savouring White Coffee and yummy food? A lot, actually. People can have great conversations, relationship can be rekindled, jokes can be cracked (yes, even the corny ones) and smiles become brighter.

Nice isn’t? And healthy, too. No wonder people in OldTown don’t get stressed out. Because they live life at leisurely pace. The result? No heart attacks, no cancers, no high blood pressures, no diseases owed to stress. Oh, and since everyone take their time, no accidents, too!

Which bring us to an unemployed doctor with nothing to do. Well, not really. He’s actually a veterinarian who take care of OldTown’s animals. But, don’t worry, they’re not stressed either. But animals being animals, they just need a shot or two now and then.

I am not promoting the coffees and foods of OldTown at my blog, but I am promoting the ideal lifestyle that all of us shall aim for.

Oldtown coffee shops are not something new to Malaysian, and if you are foreigner who plan to visit Malaysia and would like to experience the above explained atmosphere, kindly visit OldTown website to locate the coffee shops at http://www.oldtown.com.my/ .

做一個管的住自己的女人

網絡世界真是奇妙，一個素昧平生的朋友可以每天都豐富你的精神生活，下面是關於女人應該怎樣對待男人，挺有意思。一般周遭的朋友，皆以第二種和第三種為主，第一種好像已機瀕臨絕種了，第四種境界比較高，有陽春白雪的感覺。

文章轉載新浪閱讀-《和大家共享》
　　做一個能管住自己的女人
　　澳大利亞有位婚姻專家說，
　　女人管住男人無非有四種方法：
　　第一種是管住男人的胃；第二種管住男人的錢；
　　第三種是管住男人的人；最後一種是管住自己。
　　使用第一種方法的女人最善良 (管住男人的胃)
　　一個男人如果娶到這樣的女人，應該感謝上帝的恩賜。
　　因為她給了自己所愛的男人所有自由，
　　她最大的願望只是奢求男人能夠經常回家，
　　在品嚐她給他烹飪的美味中想到她的好。
　　使用第二種方法的女人最狡猾 (管住男人的錢)
　　她知道錢是男人的命脈，
　　是男人之所以成為男人的最後資本。
　　用錢控制人最有效，最直接，最事半功倍。
　　幾乎所有女人都喜歡這種方法，
　　它在女人們的眼裡是“綠色環保”的。
　　使用第三種方法的女人最不明智 (管住男人的人)
　　如果一個女人在控制男人的時候使用了這招，
　　幾乎可以馬上判斷出他們黑暗的明天，
　　沒有一個男人願意被女人死死管住，像牽小馬駒那樣。
　　使用第四種方法的女人最真實也最智慧 (管住自己)
　　這樣的女人往往是洞悉了婚姻的本質。
　　這個世界上並沒有長久的東西，
　　管住男人的胃、錢和人，
　　即使你擁有了整個世界，可是自己丟失了，
　　這個世界對你來說又有何用。
　　做女人就要做一個能管住自己的女人，
　　為自己而活，為自己的快樂而快樂，善於經營婚姻，
　　但不把自己的生命和一切全押在婚姻的身上。
　　這樣的女人應該是樂觀的，心態是平靜的。
　　她應該知道工作對她的重要，即使她的丈夫擁有萬貫家產，
　　她也會要求自己去工作。她時時刻刻明白從工作中，
　　從生活中尋找到自己的價值的重要性。
　　這樣女人無論如何也不會把自己丟失。
　　男人離開她了， 情人背叛她了， 她也會淡然而笑的面對。
　　因為她的生命不屬於一個男人，它屬於自己。
　　聰明的你，應該選擇做哪一種呢？

是啊! 當自己的心智成熟，看法清澈態然
什麼樣的男人都不會困擾妳，換個角度分析
因為妳愛自己甚過他
妳的世界又怎麼會因為他而風雲變色?

Success Breeds Success

There was a farmer who grew superior quality, award-winning corn in his farm. Each year, he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honors and prizes.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew his corn. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.

"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" The reporter asked. "Why sir?"

The farmer replied, "Didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen grains from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior, sub-standard & poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I have to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corns."

The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbors' corn also improves. So it is in the other dimensions and areas of life!

Those who choose to be in harmony must help their neighbors and colleagues to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others live well. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches...

Success does not happen in isolation; it is most often a participatory and collective process. So share the good practices, ideas and new knowledge with your family, friends, team members and neighbors and all.

As they say: "Success breeds Success."

Men never listen, do they?

In a Chicago hospital, a gentleman had made several attempts to get into the men's restroom, but it had always been occupied.

A nurse noticed his predicament. " Sir", she said " You may use the ladies room if you promise not to touch any of the buttons on the wall."

He did what he needed to, and as he sat there he noticed the buttons he had promised not to touch. Each button was identified by letters: WW, WA, PP, and a red one labeled ATR. Who would know if he touched them?

He couldn't resist. He pushed WW. Warm water was sprayed gently upon his bottom. What a nice feeling, he thought. Men's restrooms don't have nice things like this.

Anticipating greater pleasure, he pushed the WA button. Warm air replaced the warm water, gently drying his underside. When this stopped, he pushed the PP button.

A large powder puff caressed his bottom adding a fragile scent of spring flower to this unbelievable pleasure. The ladies restroom was more than a restroom, it is tender loving pleasure.

When the powder puff completed its pleasure, he couldn't wait to push the ATR button which he knew would be supreme ecstasy. He was immediately knocked out by an excruciating pain.

Next thing he knew he opened his eyes, he was in a hospital bed, and a nurse was staring down at him.

"What happened?" he exclaimed. "The last thing I remember was pushing the ATR button."
"The button ATR is an Automatic Tampon Remover. Your testicles are now in this jar, sir."

MEN NEVER LISTEN, DO THEY?

母親- 真不是人幹的

可以給你老公看,以後你也可以跟你兒子這麼說 ......

曾在廣播裡听到 ,當孩子頂嘴甚至步入叛逆期時的因應之道做媽媽的總是嘮叨 ,有一次已經高中的兒子不耐煩的頂撞了母親 , 母親氣得半死。

做父親的便約兒子一起出門散步。兩人走了好久 , 父親一路上不發一語 , 兒子納悶。 一直到要進家門口時 , 父親拍拍兒子的肩膀, 以男人對男人的語氣說 :
『等一下進去時 , 給我女人一點面子 !』
兒子驚讶於老爸用哥兒們的語氣對他說話 ,並因男人跟男人之間的義氣 , 從此對母親畢恭畢敬的。 所以 , 有的時候 , 父親這個角色還是頗重要的 !

當我的小孩頂撞我時,我想告訴他,下列的事任選一樣, 做到後, 才有頂撞的權利:
1. 連續3 個月每吃完一餐就須催吐 (孕吐)
2. 乳頭被別人吸到破皮達一個月 (餵奶)
3. 肚子塞一顆籃球達 10 個月 ( 懷孕)
4. 接受皮鞭抽打達 48 小時 (生小孩)
5. 10 個月不能喝冰水、咖啡、茶
6. 5個月睡覺不能翻身
7. 10 個月不能出遊遠行,不能跑跳
8. 10個月不能生病,要不,生病不能吃藥
9. 至育嬰室把屎把尿一個月
10. 晚上睡覺每二個小時起床一次,清醒30 分鐘達一個月

寫完上述10 項我覺得當娘的真不是人幹的。
想起一個高中同學他說:有一次頂撞母親,父親把他從椅子上踹下來,斥責他:
你媽是我捧在手心的寶,我呵護她, 照顧她, 對她輕聲細語, 你憑什麼對他大小聲!
我的同學再也不敢頂撞母親了。

好感動,尤其是最後一句是經典。
男人們, 如果你們真的愛、疼你老婆(女朋友)記得這句話就夠了!
老婆是拿來疼的, 所以千錯萬錯都是自己的錯, 不服氣嗎？ 誰叫你當初追人家。
當媽的如果听到老公這麼說, 應該會很高興吧! 男人要學著點......

October 2008 Adsense Performance

October 2008 was not a good month for my Adsense performance. The page impressions, clicks and earnings were dropped significantly. The page impressions have further declined to below 1300 impressions.

The reasons of the poor performance could be due to the global financial meltdown that scared businesses to maintain high budget in on-line marketing such as Google Adword.

Month-to-month performance review:
Page Impressions (October 2008 vs. September 2008): -11.28%
Earnings (2008 vs. September 2008): -54.10%

Milk and Melamine

I received this forwarded mail from one of my ex-colleague. Initially I thought this might be another forwarded email with bad intention, but I do know that the said company did engaged packaging contractor to erase the printed expiry date of the milk powder and re-print with a new expiry date.

Besides, after Melamine scandal in China as well as researches that debate that milk create more harm than goods and stuff like that, it is time for human kind to reconsider if we shall blindly follow the saying of the milk manufacturers marketing ads that cry that 'Milk is essential food'.

Ways to eliminate cancer

Even though the Health Ministry of Malaysia announced that the Fonterra Brands are safe, and they are using New Zealand or Australia milk ingredient, but I really doubt it.

The tainted milk powder scandal in China started with the Sanlu Company. Fonterra ( the New Zealand Company which owns Anlene brand ) holds 43% stock of Sanlu Company ! I suspect all the milk ingredient of Fonterra brands sold in China ( or perhaps in South East Asia ) actually come from China !

Fonterra, being a reputable New Zealand diary company should be blamed for the scandal ! If they are really a responsible company, then how come they only discovered this issue so late ! It is suspected Sanlu Company started adding Melamine ( the deadly chemical ) into the milk powder from 2005 !!! Fonterra has 3 top executives in the Board of Directors of Sanlu Company, they should have known the first-hand news much earlier, at least more than a year ago !!! How come they did not take stern and corrective action to stop this from happening. They just put 100% blame on the Chinese company.

In China , the Anlene milk container has label that reads " 100% milk powder imported from New Zealand ". In actual fact, they have been using the China local milk source. Fonterra has been charging expensive price to Chinese consumers and portray their company as a reputable foreign brand. After the tainted milk powder scandal in China , all the Anlene and other Fonterra brands have been recalled and taken off from supermarket shelves. I can't find any of them in any supermarkets and pharmacies that I used to buy this brand from.

Better think twice and be sure that the Anlene and Fernleaf brands sold in Malaysia are 100% safe!

黑白老鼠

有一個人在森林中漫遊的時候，
突然遇見了一隻飢餓的老虎，
老虎大吼一聲就撲了上來。
他立刻用生平最大的力氣和最快的速度逃開，
但是老虎緊追不捨，
他一直跑一直跑一直跑，
最後被老虎逼入了斷崖邊上。
站在懸崖邊上，他想：
「與其被老虎捉到，活活被咬、肢解，
還不如跳入懸崖，說不定還有一線生機。」
他縱身跳入懸崖，
非常幸運的卡在一棵樹上，
那是長在斷崖邊的梅樹， 樹上結滿了梅子。
正在慶幸的時候，
他聽到斷崖深處傳來巨大的吼聲，
往崖底望去，原來有一只兇猛的獅子正抬頭看著他，
獅子的聲音使他心顫， 但轉念一想：
「獅子與老虎是相同的猛獸，被甚麼吃掉，都是一樣的。」
當他一放下心， 又聽見了一陣聲音，
仔細一看，一黑一白的兩隻老鼠，
正用力地咬著梅樹的樹幹。
他先是一陣驚慌， 立刻又放心了，
他想：「被老鼠咬斷樹幹跌死，總比被獅子咬好。」
情緒平復下來後， 他感到肚子有點餓，
看到梅子長得正好， 就採了一些吃起來。
他覺得一輩子從沒吃過那麼好吃的梅子，
找到一個三角形樹丫休息， 他想著：
「既然遲早都要死，不如在死前好好睡上一覺吧！」
他在樹上沉沉的睡去了。 睡醒之後，
他發現黑白老鼠不見了，
老虎、獅子也不見了。 他順著樹枝，
小心翼翼的攀上懸崖， 終於脫離險境。
原來就在他睡著的時候，
飢餓的老虎按捺不住， 終於大吼一聲，
跳下懸崖。 黑白老鼠聽到老虎的吼聲，
驚慌逃走了。
跳下懸崖的老虎與崖下的獅子展開激烈的打鬥，
雙雙負傷逃走了。 由我們誕生那一刻開始，
苦難．就像飢餓的老虎一直追趕著我們，
死亡，就像一頭兇猛的獅子，
一直在懸崖的盡頭等待，
白天和黑夜的交替，就像黑白老鼠，
不停地正用力咬著我們暫時棲身的生活之樹，
總有一天我們會落入獅子的口中。
既然知道了生命中最壞的情景是死亡，唯一的路，
就是安然地享受樹上甜美的果子，
然後安心地睡覺，
只有存著這樣單純的心、少慾望、多一點赤子之心。
最近常常聽到朋友的親友去世的消息，
除了安慰了幾句外好像什麼都不能做了
恐怕有一天自己亦會成為別人口中的壞消息
所以你們有沒有好好的享受你在世上的每一分每一秒?
如果剛才你和另一半或是和家人為了芝麻綠豆的事鬧翻了，現在頭頂還在生煙的話，請你看看那晴朗的天空和那飄渺的白雲，其實你又錯過了美好的一天呀 !
有些朋友雖然不常聯絡，卻偶爾寄個E-mail、也許是一些笑話、溫馨小品，或是小遊戲給你，這表示他一直在關心著你，他將你放在心裡，也珍惜彼此的友誼。
因此，要時時心存好意！
腳走好路！身行好事，惜緣種福........
願所有收到這封信的朋友都能 平安．健康．幸福．

Do not accept business card from strangers

A man came over and offered his services as a painter to a female putting gas in her car and left his card. She said no, but accepted his card out of kindness and got in the car. The man then got into a car driven by another man. As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realized that the odour was on her hand; the same hand which accepted the card from the man at the gas station.

She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help. The men drove away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath. Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her.

This drug is called 'Burundanga' and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them.

This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on simple cards. So take heed and make sure you don't accept cards from strangers at any given time. This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services.

Dog's life, working life

A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he sees a dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back again. So, he goes over to the dog and notices it has a note in its mouth.

He takes the note and it reads "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please? The dog has money in its mouth, as well."

The butcher looks inside and, lo and behold, there is a ten dollar note there. So he takes the money and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth.. The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides to shut the shop and follow the dog.

So off he goes. The dog is walking down the street, when it comes to a level crossing; the dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button. Then it waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and it walks across the road, with the butcher following him all the way.

The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable. The butcher is in awe as the dog stops a bus by pulling its left leg up and gets in it. The butcher follows the dog into the bus. The dog then shows a ticket which is tied to its belt to the bus conductor. The butcher is nearly fainting at this sight, so are the other passengers in the bus. The dog then sits near the driver's seat looking outside. As soon as the stop is in sight, the dog stands and wags its tail to inform the conductor. Then, without waiting for the bus to stop completely, it jumps out of the bus and runs to a house very close to the stop.

It opens the big Iron Gate and rushes inside towards the door. As it approaches the wooden door, the dog suddenly changes its mind and heads towards the garden. It goes to the window, and beats its head against it several times, walks back, jumps off, and waits at the door. The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door, and starts abusing the dog, kicking him and punching him, and swearing at him. The butcher surprised with this, runs up, and tops the guy.

"What in heaven's name are you doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for the life of me! "To which the guy responds: "You call this clever? This is the second time this week that this stupid dog's forgotten his key."

Moral of the story
You may continue to exceed onlookers expectations but shall always fall short of the boss' expectations.
It's a dog's life after all......

優質時間

我們家裡有三個小孩,老三出生時,我們常常叫她「小寶貝」。為了不使另外兩個人傷心, 老二就叫「中寶貝」, 老大叫「大寶貝」, 還有一個是「老寶貝」, 他們都叫我「媽咪」, 並且他們給我一個封號- 「超級大寶貝」!

四年前,當時九歲的老大對我說: 「媽咪,妳可以再和我一起做蛋糕,像小時候一樣嗎？ 說不定等勻勻長到我這麼大,你就不會太忙,就可以了吧？」

那時我聽了很難過,為他的懂事, 為他的耐心(他本是心急的孩子)而心疼。常常, 孩子們一直在等, 等哪一天父母親不忙了, 可以重溫小時候記憶中, 和父母一起的溫馨時光。

寒假中,我們花了幾個早上買齊了做蛋糕的各種材料, 終於又像他小時候一樣,你加一匙糖, 我加一杓麵粉地, 合力做了一個蛋糕,等烤好了, 他吃不多, 喜歡的只是過程。

有一個孩子,常常問父親: 「爸爸,我們什麼時候可以去釣魚？」父親說:「週末吧。」 到了週末, 孩子早早起床, 卻看到父親正要出門, 還把高爾夫球具放進了車子。

孩子一直等, 等到了傍晚, 父親回來了, 孩子說: 「爸爸,我們什麼時候可以去釣魚？」
父親說:「我加了一天班,太累了,明天再說。」
但是, 明天又明天, 這明天一直沒有來。
孩子長大了,老父親說:「什麼時候我們一起去釣魚吧？」
孩子說:「對不起,爸爸,我現在很忙, 要加班、要照管一家大小,還得去學校開家長會。」

現在世界上的觀念, 說時間的質比量重要, 就是所謂的優質時間(Quality time) , 就是不在乎和孩子在一起的時間有多少, 而在乎和他一起做什麼。 其實這是一個似是而非的理論。

道生博士(Dr. James Dobson) 舉了一個例子 (他是在美國提倡注重家庭的基督教領袖, 著有『管與教』等書, 銷售超過一百萬本。)

有一個人去吃牛排, 等了半天, 餓極了, 終於侍者端上來一塊小小的牛排。

「怎麼這麼小？」
「這是最上等的一種牛排。」
「可是我吃不飽。」

我們的孩子需要品質好的食物,但固定、足夠的三餐更重要。
我們不能整天不在家,然後給孩子十分鐘的優質時間, 就認為他會滿足了。

優質時間......
是他興沖沖放學時,你在那裡聽他說得興高采烈。
是他心情沮喪地回家時,你在那裡傾聽、安慰、鼓勵。
如果錯過了,等我們有空時,問他「今天過得如何？」
他只會說「還好!」。
寫了許多詩歌的作者Gloria Gaither 說, 父母做得最好的一件事就是「在場」。

你知道一個 孩子做錯事,最壞的結果是什麼嗎？ 就是沒有被抓到。
當我們常常在孩子生命中「缺席」時,會有什麼後果？

我們家有好幾年實行的一項「優良傳統」, 就是和孩子「單獨約會」。
每個孩子每三個月有一天是屬於他的特別日子, 和爸爸或媽媽做他選擇的事。譬如老大和爸爸去清華吃飯, 然後下盤棋; 老二和我買張月台票, 在火車站看火車, 他會不捨地說: 「再看一列自強號、一列復興號、一列莒光號就走!」
老三可能是爸爸帶去吃個冰淇淋。

雖然有三個孩子, 我們希望他們覺得自己是父母眼中«獨一的嬌兒» 。

這些是親子間的優質時間,但每天看似平淡的時光, 「量」的累積更重要。偶而的一餐牛排不能取代每日三餐。

每過一日, 孩子就像一塊磚一塊磚地被建造起來, 我們讓誰來做這樣的工作？ 當建造不好, 要拆是很痛苦的事。

有一個人發現孩子學了保母說話不誠實的毛病, 要改掉這習慣是很不容易的。 有人說, 養成一個好習慣, 須要六個月; 也有人說, 一個行為造成一個習慣, 一個習慣造成一個個性, 一個個性造成一個人生。每一日都何等重要。我們所花的時間, 構成我們的生活, 也為孩子的人生奠基。

有一位教育家說, 要一天四次擁抱你的孩子。 我儘量提醒自己,孩子說話時專心聽,也注視他們的眼睛。 常常, 就在這專注的時刻, 心中湧起對他們的愛, 就會自然地抱抱他們。

擁抱、親吻、稱讚、鼓勵,這些永遠不嫌太多。

一個孩子心中的愛槽注滿了的時候, 他只會把愛流露出去, 而不是成為一個「give me, give me 」(給我,給我)不滿的孩子。

四年級的老二上學期得了五育獎及模範生,但最讓我們欣慰的是, 老師給的評語:「謝謝韡函對 xx 同學的包容和幫助。」

前美國總統布希夫人, 在衛斯理女子學院畢業典禮上致詞: 「等妳們到了我這個年紀, 你不會因為失去一筆生意, 或少了一個客戶而後悔, 但妳若沒有花時間在丈夫、孩子身上, 妳會悔恨不已。」

有一個母親在孩子的房間,一直說: 「我還有好多話要告訴你,對不起,我一直都那麼忙。」她一直說, 一直抱歉, 最後, 孩子放下收好的皮箱說: 「媽,何必再說什麼呢,我明天就要去念大學了。」

一個孩子在我們身邊差不多有十八年, 日子很快會過去, 我們也有一天要交出成績單。

放棄作父母的責任, 就會失去作父母的權柄。

一個叫不動的孩子, 常常也是個心中沒有被愛注滿的孩子。 願我們趁還有時間花在孩子身上時, 作盡職的選擇。

给喜欢去酒吧的男女

四川有一个大学女生去参加星期六晚上的庆祝。她觉得很快乐，喝了很多酒，这时有个年轻帅哥坐在了她的前面。在男孩的百般调情挑逗下，该女生终于答应与这个帅哥去了家附近酒店，并开了个豪华包间。

房间里，该女生喝了些酒，慢慢地她开始觉得不清醒，然后就睡著了。当该女生再醒来时，发现自己全身赤裸地在浴缸中，而且浴缸里满满的都是冰。浴池旁边有张纸条，上面赫然用红字写著'打一二零，否则你会死！'她自己的手机也在纸条旁边。

她拨打了。并说明自己目前的情况。医生建议她检查自己的背部，结果她发现有两条九寸长的割伤口在背部下方！ 医生要她马上躺回满是冰的浴缸，告诉她不要动，马上会有急救队来找她。

原来，她的肾脏被偷了！那两条口，就是取出她的肾脏时留下的！在黑市里，一肾脏值 300,000元！法医判断，被害人所喝的酒中，可能不只是单纯的迷幻药，还有强力的麻醉剂，而冰也起到了镇痛效果，所以被害人暂时不会感觉到疼痛。该女生在医院里等待肾脏捐赠无果后死亡。

警察忠告大家：这是一种新的犯罪正在发生，并且以年轻女性和男生，旅游者，学生为目标。犯罪组织很有规模，并且有训练有素的人员。这种犯罪行为正发生在很多主要城市，最近尤其是在山东、广州、深圳、佛山、东莞、厦门、泉州、北京、上海、四川、重庆、全国各地酒吧！

Do’s and don’t during lightning

Lightning is one of nature’s most awe-inspiring and dangerous phenomenon. The average lightning flash could light a 100-watt light bulb for more than three months.

The temperature of a lightning bolt may reach 27,760 degree Celsius, which is hotter than the surface of the sun.

Lightning isn’t only an outdoor hazard. In houses without adequate lightning protection, it can turn bathing or showering into a dangerous undertaking.

There’s also risk of lightning shocks being transmitted via the telephone or plugged-in-electronics in houses without protection.

Such safeguards, plastic water pipes rather than metal ones, for example, are standard in newer buildings and make it safe to bathe in stormy weather.

Those living I older houses without lightning protection should unplug telephones, computers and televisions during storms, protecting them from damage in case of a lightning strike.

If that’s too much work, it’s safer to at least install special socket inserts that protects against surges. –dpa

Do’s and don’ts

Many people incur injuries or are killed due to misinformation and inappropriate behaviour during thunderstorms. A few simple precautions can reduce many of the dangers posed by lightning.

Avoid being in or near
High places and open fields, isolated trees, gazebos, open sided picnic shelters, baseball dugouts, communication towers, flagpoles, light poles, bleachers (metal or wood), metal fences, convertibles, golf carts, water (ocean, lakes, swimming pools, rivers, etc.)

When inside a building
Avoid using the telephone or computer, taking a shower, washing your hands, doing dishes, or any contact with conductive surfaces with exposure to the outside such as metal door or window frames, electrical wiring, telephone wiring, cable TV wiring, plumbing, etc.

If driving
Stay in your automobile. An enclosed automobile offers reasonable good protection from lightning, as long as you don’t touch metal.


Marco’s comment:
Many of the house owners in Malaysia and Singapore changed the water supply inlet pipe from PVC type to copper pipe due to the reason for lasting. Please pass this information to those who are going to renovate their house or redo the plumbing system of the house.

Where is our direction (Malaysian) for our next generation?

For those who started work around 1973, a 1.3 litre Japaness car was RM 7000.

Today the equivalent is…… let's say RM 60000……8.5 times.

In 1973 a double storey house was about RM 45,000 or less.

Today it is about RM 300,000…… 6.6 times

In 1973 an Engineer's pay was RM 1000.
Today it is about RM 2000……2 times.

From 1973 to 2008…… 35 years…… what is the trend?
Bearish!

In a stock market when the trend is bearish, what do we do? Exit!

When a country's trend is bearish what do we do?
This Bearish trend is more difficult to turn around as compared to thestock market.

I have used these 3 items House, Car & Salary as a measurement of the country' s performance for the past 35 years. Foreigners also ask about these 3 items to gauge our standard of living.

There is a book I saw in MPH bookshop entitled:
Malaysia: The Failed Nation

Some of you may be interested to read it. I agreed with the writer.

This morning I was having Coffee at McDonald (100 %Arabica beans at RM 2.90, free refill). I asked how much per hour is their pay?

RM 3.00 x 8 hours = RM 24 per day x 25 days = RM 600 per month

My daughter works part-time during her University days. She worked atGloria Jeans Coffee……the pay? Australian $ 14.00 per hour ( @ 3.15 = RM 44 per hour.....x 8 = RM 352 per day !!! x 25 days = RM 8800.

13.3 times more! Price of houses in Perth is about the same in KL. Price of cars are about 23 % cheaper in Perth, Australia.

I think more and more people are becoming aware of this Bearish trend.

Developed country by 2020?...... means High income country.

Let's look at some as of year 2005 from Financial Times.

USA GNP per capita US$ 35400
UK GNP per capita US$ 25510
Australia GNP per capita US$ 19530
Singapore GNP per capita US $ 20690
These are developed countries by income measurement.

Malaysia GNP per capita US$ 3540

Year 2020…… developed country?Worrying trends, isn't it?
Ringgit Malaysia sliding further and further under BN.
-Gan Jul 8, 08 4:03pm

Recently, I interviewed some fresh graduates applying for jobs with myengineering company. I accepted two applicants on a starting salary ofRM 1,600. It struck me as odd that 15 years ago, I myself started workas a fresh graduate engineer for the same pay.

Indeed, if you compare the salaries of graduates now and 15 or even 20years ago, you'll find little difference but that their purchasingpower is vastly different. It's the same story when you comparesalaries of shop assistants, office staff, factory workers and others.

To compound the effect of inflation, the Ringgit has depreciatedgreatly against all major currencies. The real income of mostMalaysians has moved backwards.

This is why many Malaysians suffer under the petrol hike. The root ofthe problem is that our real incomes have shrunk in the face ofinflation and depreciated currency. Malaysians have not been spoiledby subsidy but are unable to move out of the time lock of stagnatedand depreciated incomes.

If you compare the per capita incomes of Singapore , Hong Kong , Taiwanand South Korea , they are a few multiples of ours although atindependence all these countries were the on the same economic level as Malaysia .

What has gone wrong? We were the rising star of East Asia, a countryrich in natural resources with the most promising potential.

The reason is massive corruption, plundering of resources, wastage offunds for huge non- economic projects, anti-public interest deals withpolitically-linked companies and passing-of-the-buck to the man inthe street.

Four decades of NEP where education, economic and employment policiesare defined by race ensured that meritocracy took a back seat.

Our university standard has declined and the today best and brightestof our youths emigrate to escape the racial inequality only tocontribute to the economies of foreign lands.

The reputation of our judiciary which was held in high esteemworldwide has sunk so low that foreign investors now insist onarbitration in Singapore in case of any dispute.

We also have a slew of oppressive laws such as the ISA, OSA, Uuca andPPPA which stifle free speech and are designed to keep the rulingparties in power.

We have become less attractive to foreign investors and now lag behindour neighbours in ASEAN for foreign direct investment. Even somecorporations who have established themselves here are moving out.

All the economic and social malaise cannot help but affect the valueof our currency. The strength of a country's currency is after all, areflection of its fundamentals.

Furthermore, Bank Negara has a policy of weak Ringgit to helpexporters, never mind the burden on the common folk. The government ispro-corporation, not pro-rakyat (citizens).

While the poor and middle-class are squeezed, an elite group getsbreathtakingly rich. We have the distinction of having the worseincome disparity in ASEAN. A re-distribution of wealth is under wayfrom the poor and middle-class to a select group ofpolitically-connected elite.

The end result of this re-distribution will be a small group ofsuper-rich while the majorities are pushed into poverty and themiddle-class shrinks. This is what happens when the rich gets richerand the poor get poorer.

There is much that is wrong with Malaysia. The responsibility forpulling the country backwards can be laid squarely at the door of theruling regime. It is BN's mis-governance, racial politics and cultureof patronage which has seen the country regress economically andsocially.

We seem to be sliding down a slippery slope, further down with eachpassing year of BN's rule. Another five years of BN rule and we'll beat Indonesia’s standard under Suharto. Another 10 years and we'll betouching the African standard. What a way to greet 2020.

Is there any hope for Malaysia?

Faced with the reality that BN will never change, many Malaysiansdesperate for change turn their lonely eyes to Anwar Ibrahim.

Pakatan Rakyat has promised to treat all races fairly, to plugwastage, fight corruption, reform the judiciary and make Malaysia morecompetitive.

But some have questioned whether we can trust Anwar and his loosecoalition of disparate parties.

The question is not whether we can trust Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat butwhether we can afford not to.

Can we afford another ten years of BN's misrule?

Marco's comment:

There is nothing much that middle-class Malaysians can do, my suggestios are:

1. Save as much money as possible, transfer it to Singapore, Hong Kong, London or New York's banks.

2. Acquire foreign countries shares where your money parked (refer to no.1)

3. Send your children to oversea universities, let them have a choice to make a living at other countries.

They are more and more elite Malays that moving out from Malaysia even they can enjoy bumi priviledges in this country. Why they gave up? Simply because they see no future for their next generation.

Heroes (Dedicated to the hereos in Sichuan Earthquake, 2008)

An earthquake, magnitude 8.0, struck Sichuan province of China at 2:28PM, May 12, 2008. The epicenter of the earthquake, Wenchuan, is about 90 miles from Chengdu. The earthquake released more energy than 500 atomic bombs, 30 times more than the Kobe earthquake in Japan, 1995. By May 19, there are more than 32,000 lifeless victims, more than 20,000 still missing, and more than 4.7 million houses collapsed or heavily damaged.

Cities close to the epicenter are flattened; whole mountains collapsed.

Devastation.

Millions of people lost their beloved ones, their homes, their belongings. Yet there is no looting, no complaints, just people helping each other.

Within hours, people rushed to rescue. Blood donation lines run for 100 yards, and people waited hours to donate blood; within 24 hours, all major blood banks ran out storage space. The highway to the earthquake struck city Dujianyang (20 mile from Chengdu) was almost jammed one hour after the earthquake, not by people fleeing the aftershocks, but by volunteers, led by over 1,000 taxi drivers, came from Chengdu to rescue.

Chen Guangbiao(陈光标), owner of a big construction company 1,500 miles from the disaster area, just 2 hour 30 minutes after the earthquake, started transporting 60 construction machineries and led 120 volunteers to rescue. They arrived at the disaster area 24 hours later, almost the same time as Army Engineering Corp.

Medical workers provided care under extreme conditions; they even delivered many new born babies on the parking lot.

Wen Jiabao(温家宝), 66, Chinese Prime Minister, boarded on a plane 30 minutes after the earthquake, and arrived in disaster area in 2 hours. He has been the chief of the rescue operation since then, working almost around clock at the frontline with rescue workers.

1,1000 paratroopers started boarding airplanes 2 hours after earthquake. Despite heavy rain, high wind and thick cloud, they jumped from over 20,000 foot high to remote mountain areas where they did not even know if there would be a place for them to land. The first jumped off plane was Senior Colonel Li Zhenbo(李振波), 51.


With roads buried by landslide and bad weather hammering airborne operations, a group of 600 soldiers and medical teams, lead by Major General Xia Guofu(夏国富), 57, Commander in Chief of Sichuan Military District, walked 21 hours straight on foot in mountain area, carrying heavy relief supplies, risking landslide and falling rocks. They became the first group to arrive at the epicenter of the earthquake.

Soldiers and rescue workers working around clock to rescue people still buried. Unable to transport heavy machineries to the remote areas since roads are buried by landslides, they often have to use hands to move tons of concrete.

People are rushing to donate money. Many rich people donated in millions, but no one can match Xu Chao(徐超), 60, on the right. He is a homeless in Nanjing, 1000 miles from the disaster area. He saw the news and went to donate 5 Yuan in the morning. He said people in the disaster area were worse off than him because their lives were threatened. He came back in the afternoon, donated another 100 Yuan ($14). He explained that all he had were pennies and dimes, and he didn’t want to waste volunteer workers’ time to count them, so he went to the bank to change everything he had into one big bill. This is from a man who doesn’t have money to buy food for himself.



Song Xinying (宋馨懿), 3, pulled out from rubble after being buried for 2 days. She was in critical condition and lost a leg, but survived. Her parents hold each other’s hands and shoulders face to face to make an arch to shield her from the falling building. Her parents did not make it out.

A 5 year old boy was rescued after being buried under rubbles for 24 hours. His left hand was broken, but he smiled and saluted to his rescuers. His smile made everybody cry.

Zhang Jiwang(张吉万), 11, carrying his sister Zhang Han(张韩), 3，walked 12 hours straight to flee the rescue center.

Yuan Wentin(袁文婷), 26, first grade teacher. When the earthquake struck, she rushed to carry her stunned students from classroom on the 3rd floor to the ground. She managed to pull out most of her students, but the building collapsed when she was trying to pull out the last few. At the last moment of her life, she was trying to use her body to shield the students from falling concrete.

Many teachers did the same thing. They are 谭千秋、张米亚、苟晓超、吴忠洪、杜正香......

This high school student was rescued from the collapsed building. She lost both legs, and her both hands are broken. The rescue workers were all in tears when they saw this. She smiled to them: “Be Brave!”

This baby, after being buried over 24 hours, miraculously, was rescued unscratched. He is about 3-4 months old, and his mother kneeled down, pinned her head and hands on the ground to shielded him from the falling concrete, and milked him. His mother did not make it out. A rescue worker found his mom’s cell phone in his wrapper. It had a text message left by his mother: “Dear child, if you survive, please remember, Mom loves you forever…”

女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而拋下自己的父母,來照顧那男人的父母;但男人不用。

女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而寧願自己挺顆又重又大的球十個月,只為了替那男人生下一個跟男人姓的下一代;還得承受生完小孩後的體質變差、身材變形的後遺症,但男人不用。

女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而放棄一卡車追求他的好男人,只為和男人長廂廝守,卻埋沒了最美的青春? 男人却不為青春所懼,反而愈老愈值錢。

女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而放棄父母給她二十多年的姓,而跟著老公姓,又被冠上'太太'二字;但男人沒變 。

女人有時真的好傻, 可以為了愛一個男人,而早上上班,晚上煮飯做家事帶小孩,有工作也有家事的壓力;但男人沒差,反而多了個賺錢的人和不用給薪的女傭。

女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而去適應一個完全不同的家庭和面對男人的親友團批評,女人懂事的試圖尋求男人的保護時,換來的是...男人不僅沒有保護他的女人,反而一起落井下石,在一個女人孤力無援的環境裡。

男人啊 ! 若你您的身邊有這樣的一個傻女人時,請當她的笨男人,好好的珍惜她、照顧她吧。

別忘了,她不是天生就該來照顧你們全家大小的,女人很單純也很懂事,只要當她受傷時,好好傾聽她、支持她、保護她,為她拭淚,她就會感動一輩子。

更別忘了,當男人年老時或生病時為您把屎把尿的,絕不是已老的也要您照顧的父母,最有可能的就是從年輕到老,始終在您身邊的女人。

女人们,你们赞同吗？
男人们,你们有珍惜吗？

金科玉律

試金可以用火,試女人可以用金,試男人可以用女人。

男人要有錢,和誰都有緣。

沒錢的時候,老婆兼秘書;而有錢的時候,秘書兼老婆。

有錢的人怕別人知道他有錢,沒錢的人怕別人知道他沒錢。

好好活著,因為我們會死很久很久。

高職不如高薪,高薪不如高壽,高壽不如高興。

偷一個人的主意是剽竊,偷很多人的主意就是研究。

幹點好事總想讓鬼神知道,幹點壞事總以為鬼神不知道

如果有錢是種錯,就讓我一錯再錯。

女人喜歡有安全感的男人;男人卻往往被缺乏安全感的女人吸引。

不吃飯的女人這世上也許還有好多好多個,不吃醋的女人卻連一個也沒有。

懷才就像懷孕,時間久了才能讓人看出來。

毀滅友情的方式有許多,最徹底的一種是借錢。

每个【华人】必读的一篇文章

我的家,在马来西亚,
我的人,住在前南非。

马来西亚(Malaysia)政府不停的责备挑剔的为难以色列(Israel),
不断的向世人谴责以色列人欺压巴勒斯坦人,
甚至直到今天不准许马来西亚人民到以色列去。

但是,今天马来西亚马来政府切不断实行种族隔离政策。
当他们不断责难以色列时,真正目的是为了掩饰他们的边缘化政策。

几十年前,当我小的时候,父母亲从外国回来,Passport放在桌子上。
我就很好奇的打开来看,就问爸爸,Passport这里面写的是什么？

爸爸告诉我说,我们马来西亚人民什么国家都可以去,
只是共产党国家和以色列及南非不准去,
因为共产党要控制我们的国家,所以我们不可以和他们来往及和好。

我就很好奇的跟爸爸说,那么说以色列和南非也是共产党。
爸爸对我说,南非和以色列不是共产党国家,
只是因为马来西亚政府不认同他们国家政策,
因为他们的政府尤其是南非,种族主义非常强,
种族隔离政策来对付黑人族群。

在南非,白人少数族群控制著大多数黑人族群,
白人住的地方,黑人不可住、
白人读书的学校,黑人不可读、
白人卖东西的地方,黑人不可买、
白人驾车撞到黑人,应该的,
但是黑人撞到白人,不跑的话,一定被白人打到死,
不死的话,却被关起来、
白人做高官,黑人不可以、
白人说错话做错事,这是因为技术性问题、
但黑人说出不公平的事实的真相,切被警察关起来,
因为是黑人要挑拨种族冲突,制造种族仇恨,还有许多许多……

我就继续问爸爸,为什么会这样?
因为这是他们白人的特权,几百年前所规定下来的特权,
不能改,不能变,黑人不可以提起,因为这是特权。

爸爸很自豪的又对我说,马来西亚是个民主国家,领袖们都是很正义,
所以不允许这样不公平的事情发生在二十世纪,
这种不人道的事绝对不应该发生在今日的世界。

我还记得很清楚,小小年纪的我,
第一次我觉得我是马来西亚人而感到无限的光荣。
我还立志,长大後要做军士来保护我所敬爱的马来西亚,
就好像黄明志所强调的,我爱我的国,有国才有家,有家才有我。

几年过後,我从华小进入了国中,简称马来学校。
在这6年的时间里,我开始体会和学会了什么叫著特权。
虽然90%的学生是华人,10%是马来人和印度人,
但在这里我被间接的引导或训练成一只很听话的狗,
土著之上的政策、马来人之上的政策。

6年在马来学校里,100%的政府奖学金或补助金都给了马来人,
难道就没有贫穷的华人和印度人吗?
在学校团体主席位必须留给土著或早已被校方安排好的土著人选。
没有马来人积极参与的团体很大的可能将不会被学校注重。

当时,大山脚有一间我们中学时代所羡慕的马来学校Science School,
在那里,有一流的设备和老师,
当时最让我们羡慕的是那里读书的马来人,
每一个月都有政府所给的零用钱。
还有每次我们跟他们比赛足球时,
他们一身都穿著最新的足球衣,我们切没有。
比赛后他们有冷气巴士在等侯,
我们却要搭脚车或等破旧不准时的Bus Mara回家。
这叫土著特权,
因为他们是马来人,他们必须被帮助坐BMW冷气巴士回家,
而我们也没钱,
必须自己想办法吃自己
踏我的BMX回乡村Berapit的小家。

讲到足球,小时候看国家队比赛,很精采
有华人苏金安,印度人Arumugum和马来人莫达,
但现在看国家队比赛,全都是马来人,偶尔会有一个印度人。
为什么土著之上政策後,华人和印度人变成都不会踢足球吗?
为什么土著之上政策後,耗资近一亿马币上太空旅游的一定是马来人而不是非马来人。
不是的!
因为我们不可争,一切都已被安排好了,
记得白人和黑人的故事吗!
难怪马来西亚足球队现在变成是东南亚最爱吃鸡蛋的国家队。
可悲!

还记得大学先修班时,
班上有个半土著的人(父亲是华人,母亲是马来人)告诉我,
为什么你要每天这么努力读书,不懂得享受人生。
但是这个不努力也成绩不很好的半土著皮肤半黑的白人
过后轻易进入大学,
而我们这些拼命读书的黄皮肤的黑人有很多进入不了本地大学,
因为别人的妈妈是土猪族的传人,
我们的妈妈是龙的传人。
这就是土族特权而不是龙族特权的时代。

现在的教育制度更可怕,偷学邓小平的一国两制。
这些教育官僚怕被外国人取笑,
因为以前马来人考输华人也可进大学,华人切不可以进大学,
这样做的话有点说不过去。
所以这些官员也学会怎样掩饰土著,
想出了在中学或高中的时候把土著和非土著隔离,
然後考不一样的考试,再加入了课外活动的积分制,
顺理成章的把大部份土著送进大学。

3/12/07世界银行指出,
大马高等学府通过不同管道包括大学预科班、
大马高级学校文凭、大学基础课程来录取学生、
造成人民质疑政府是否落实绩效制。

原始人制度
这种制度我称为原始人制度,
因为在原始人时代只要那些能跑能打的人就是天下无敌,
而那些有创意和智商的人必须听从能跑能打的人。
就好像假如今天大学有一个医学位,
有一个华人每科科学都考得全国最好,
但是课外活动只属于一般。
而一个马来人科学每科都考得算好,但是不算最好,可是课外活动一流。

在原始人制度下谁会被选进入就读呢?
答案是课外活动一流的马来同胞选为医生,
因为他比较能跑能跳而不是拥有专业的知识。
这就是为什么今天很多国家不再承认我国的医学位了。

事实上,原始人制度这些年来出现了太多问题。
有许许多多的原始人半专业人士如马来律师、会计师和工程师无法和非马来人专业人士竞争。
所以一些原始人制度下受惠的马来官员又想出更妙的方法,
把企业固打原始化,回到古老的原始人方式按人头来分配财富和工作,
而不是按能力来分配工作。
如所有要和Maybank来往的商人必须要用原始人律师而不是专业律师、
所有上市公司或将上市的公司必须按土著和非土著比例来聘请员工。
这是一个极危险性的动作,直接把国家竞争能力减到最低,
而快速的把土著30%经济蛋糕在十到十五年之间快速转移达到70%,
从非马来人手中用合法性夺取所有的资金和国家资源。

这些官员实在历害,
把新经济政策的30%变成按土著和非土著比例70/30的政策,
这说明了他们的胃口已经不按部就班的变大许多,
让有钱的小拿破仑土著更有钱,然後来控制非土著和大部份的贫穷土著。

过去,我们的许多朋友高中毕业後都跑到新加坡去了,
因为那里的政府爱惜人才,把国家辛辛苦苦栽培十多年的人才都拿去了。
但是自从我们爱拔短剑的教育部长从中国回来後也学会这一招,
开始承认独中生,所有华文好的独中生都被政府接受成为老师,
但是条件就是这些独中生只可以到马来学校教马来人华语而不是到缺少千千万万华文老师的华小教书。
还有更可怕的是现在马来西亚也开始承认中国大学华文系,
因为这些从北京大学回来的大学生都必须到马来学校教书而非华小。
到时马来小学生学的是纯正中国北京中文系华语,
而华小学生学的是像我这样的Kampung乡村华语,
因为上梁不正下梁歪。
我想告诉马华的领袖,你们的良心在那里,
你想骗华社骗到几时,难道这就是你们争取给华社的功劳。

每一年华社捐给独中的钱多过你们马华捐给华小的钱,
现在你们马华却要反回来做巫统的走狗,
把一流的独中生调到马来学校去,
把华社多年养大的母鸡送给土著。
我更看不过眼的事你们马华眼睁睁的看著马来官员
把一大堆不懂华语而能力很差马来学校都不要的老师调到华小来,
让他们教我们天真无邪的孩子。

黄明志事件
你们只会叫明志道歉,更惨的是民政有些领袖还说明志的不是。
明志道歉过後情况更惨,被5名马来部长每天不断的攻击,又喊又杀!
好像明志犯了偷天大罪。
现在这5名马来部长突然间静了下来,给人的感觉以为他们很大方,不再追究。
事实上,他们再追究下去的话,天下最大的笑话将会在马来西亚发生,
原来我们的国歌是改编印尼的情歌Terang Bulan。
这次真的是Malaysia Boleh!

为什么马华现在没有叫5个马来部长向明志道歉呢!
你们可以改编,他就是不可以,这话到底要怎么讲。
我再一次只能说:Malaysia Boleh!大马能!

马华的领袖,尤其是那个大小通吃的刘一端,你们玩够了没有。
以前你们告诉华社,叫我们在大选支持你们给你们机会。
所以上一次大选,所有华社都支持你们,
你们在槟州以及全国各地都取得辉煌的成绩,
但你们给了华社些什么?为什么你们对马六甲华人赶尽杀绝。

为什么小小的前武拉必州议员如刘一端,
以前只是普通的MPSP政府人,在椰树下和我们一起长大,
为什么现在在短短的时间里,可以住进数以百万的屋子。

各位武拉必的华人,
大山脚的华人,
槟城的华人,
全世界几百万到外国工作和已经移居到国外的马来西亚和新加坡的华人,
我们已经被马华领袖玩够了,
他们是大汉奸,多年来出卖民族的大走狗,
我们不可再靠马华,因为50年前,马华的意思是代表马来西亚的华人,
但是50年後,马华的意思是代表马来人的化身。
让我们自己来改写华人历史,跟他们讲No的时候。

因此今天华社必须重新整合,
唤醒所有黑眼睛,黑头发黄皮肤龙的传人。
不要小看25%的华人,事实上我们是可以左右大局的,
只是我们已被马华、民政以及人联党分散了力量。
我们没有一个中心领袖,所以四分五裂。
但是我想告诉大家,不要忽略了社团领袖,不要忘记了华总和董教总。
过去我们找错了方向,以为马华和民政可以带领我们,
但是我们已经给了他们50年的时间,已经证明一个事实,
他们出卖了华人,马六甲猪农事件和星州日报槟城高级记者陈云清扣留事件已经证明这一切,
答案只有两个字[无能]。
我个人在送八个字[政党协商,越协越伤]。

现在华人必须把方向调整和重新整合,
把力量集中在全国各地各社团领袖,
把华社的力量凝聚在董教总,
因为历史见证他们从来没有离弃过华社。
这些社团领袖必须互相配合和推动,
设立提升你们的WebBlog布落客,过去你们召开会议叫华人参与出席的Meeting已经过时。
你们每次召开的会议都很少人出席,这并不代表华社不支持你们,而是每个人都很忙,很多人现在还要做两份工来维持生活。
所以设立网站如Malaysia Today,Malaysiakini和自由媒体(www. thefreemedia.com) 是所有社团的当务之急。

因为年轻人都是在网站和YouTube看新闻。

然後各社团在把力量分散到各华社各基层,
一种声音和一种中心思想,
最後在大选来临时决定把25%的选票投给谁。
以前流行选党不选人,但是现在必须变成跟著大部份的社团领袖,
他们大部份社团选谁,我们跟著他们选谁,
这样无形中社团将会主导整个华社,
政党为了得到支持,必须被动的顺著整个华社的意愿和路线前进。
就好像叶亚来的时代,华人不需要任何政党,
但华人需要的是社团精神领袖。
但是现在我们跟著马华走,50年总结论告诉我们,
死路一条,没有得选。

一直以来,很多人认为华人最不合作。
在第二次世界大战,日本人以为只需要一年里面就能轻易取下整个中国,

因为他们认为华人最不合作,像留一刀这样的走狗很多。
但是他们错了,最後他们发现中国人当遇到种族危机时,
将会出奇的超合作。所以日本攻打中国八年都无法拿下一半的中国。
因为海外华人和中国人太合作了,最後日本军在中国伤亡最多。

早期在北海Raja Uda,
一个没有穿制服的警员在没有表明身份及出示警证的情况下,
试图以手铐将一名见义勇为前来阻止警员取走货物的华裔青年铐捕并当场亮枪。

他的行径惹恕了周围的群众将他牢牢的围住。
像这样的事,以前很多人只是看热闹,
但是今天华人真的团结起来了,
几百个人一起来保护被欺负的同胞。
还让我觉得最钦佩的是站出来的当中有许多是见义勇为妈妈级的女士。

身为华人的我,为今天的事感到无限光荣,
华人终于察觉到合作的重要性。
女士们,站出来吧,
你们是马来西亚版的花木兰。
就好像马六甲猪农事件,站在最前方的也是你们这些木兰军。

**笔者本来以为马华州议员和我天真小龙孩一样有崇高的理想及信念。
直到我见过了留一端这个冷血怪人,看到了他对大山脚人所作所为,
处处用权力来迫压武拉必人。

我本身也领教过了。

为了正义,我武拉必人曾站出来,但是这个冷血怪人为了个人的利益,
处处用权力来打压我,迫压我,抹黑我。
我在此声明,
从小在武拉必长大的我是不会轻易向没有真理的事低头的。
是你启发我动笔写了这篇文章。
是你让我知道我们华人要靠自已,自己再不站出来的话,
让你这些马华冷血怪人帮我们伸张正义是不可能的。
虽然我的华语不好,但这已经不重要了,因为我小龙孩已动笔了,
我所见到的每一个和我从小一起在武拉必草场吃喝玩乐的朋友都看不惯你们政治人物了!
我们大山脚武拉必人一合作,你就完蛋了!
为了正义,一直很怕死的我都不再顾虑性命安危了!

我知道写这篇讲真话的文章,
我会被大马警察捉起来关在没有人知道的地方。
为了大马中华民族下一代,这已对我来说已并不重要!

因为我身上永远流著的是龙的血,
还有全世界中华民族都拥有一颗闪亮的龙的心!

武拉必人将带领大马哭打制走向世界,
让全世界人知道哭打制背后的杀伤力及破坏性。

笔者本身只在武拉必华小学过六年纪的华语,
所以我的华语是Kampung乡村华语,请别见怪。
因为我认为每一个华人在这个时候必须学印度人整合起来,
很多不满马华的本身党员也必须从新整合,勇敢的站出来,
说出你们心中的不满,投靠好的领袖。

马华也有好的领袖如张天赐和翁诗杰,
他们对华社的贡献,我们有目共赌。

各社团领袖在这个关健时刻也多开会来达到共识。
还有不要忘记在马来西亚有许多贫穷的华人,马来人和印度人需要我们的协助。

最後我必须在这强调,
我们不是反政府,民主制度下,
人民就是老板,我们是有权力来选政府。

【人民本身就是政府,我们热爱这个国家和敬爱与效忠国王, 但我们并不是一定要效忠于国阵】。

我们只是和年轻人黄明志一样,说出事实的真相。
我们不是反对马来人,因为他们大多数是我的朋友。
我们和其他98%的马来人和其他马来西亚人一样,
只是反对富贫固打制。
我们只是反对2%的朋党官僚。
我们只是要让所有的华人知道,
不要再怕像刘一端这样的领袖,虎假虎威,只会欺压华人,
在马来人面前是一条应声狗,马来人的走狗,华人的汉奸,
结合马来人高官来欺压大山脚华人。
大山脚斗母宫事件,是你和MPSP政府人策划的。
你不要告诉我你不知道,不要忘记你是什么身份出身,
在你还没有当官前,你是和他们MPSP一伙的。

年轻人黄明志都站出来了,
全国印度同胞都万人大集会了。
压力越来越大的华人合作起来吧!
我们要的是最基本的人权和公民权力!哭打制是行不通的!

[怕]只会让我们变成脆弱,
[怕]只会让这一代大马华人变成下一代历史罪人。
华人现在养的母鸡是幸苦劳动回来的。

不是骗来的,不是抢来的,
别人没有来抢,已经偷笑了。
保护我们自己的母鸡,是我们最基本的权力。

请不要再分糖果(5年慢性毒药)给我们了,
我们要的是明文规定做为马来西亚人的保障。
我们压倦了政党斗争时常拿华小来开山谈判。
政商不分家,已把马来西亚弄得一团糟。
现在政治与教育不分家,已把大马教育变成了国阵的政治筹码,
回头看看新加坡的教育程度吧!

假如现在的制度没有改,
当我老时,我的孙子会问我:
公公,为什么当你还有能力带爸爸离开马来西亚时,
你却没有这样做,
现在我们已成为2%贪官领袖的奴仆,已没有能力离开了。
也许我的子孙永远不知道,
这个时候的我,
没有离开是因为我爱这里,
这里是我的家,
有我童年踏BMX的回亿,
有我童年时和马来人与印度人踢足球的回亿。
我爱马来西亚,
在这个时刻,我还是对它抱著希望和期待。
既然我的父母的爱选择在此地生下了我,
我也要和其他武拉必华人以及所有大马华人一样的爱,
最后也选择死在这片土地上,
因为我永远爱马来西亚!这里是我的家我的生命!

我爱马来西亚!但马来西亚还爱我吗？

以前非州有个南非!
50年来,国阵巫统马华民政把大马(大家的马来西亚)
改造成马非(马来人和非马来人)之国!
在这个国阵体制长大的我最後只能用三个字来形容:
生病了!

我的家,正在大马!
我的人,住在种族隔离的马非!

我梦想有一天这个国家会站起来,
人人生而平等!

Effective Communication

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'

The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.'
What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?


Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.

Great men say, 'Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness. In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience.'

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling!
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!

Boss and his Secretary

Boss walked into the office one morning not knowing that his zipper was down.

His secretary walked up to him and asked, "Boss this morning when you left your house, did you close your garage door?" This was not a phrase that Her Boss understood, so he went into his office looking a bit puzzled.

When he was about done with his paper work, he suddenly noticed that his zipper was not zipped up. He zipped up and remembering what his secretary had told him, finally understood. He then intentionally went out to ask for a cup of coffee from his secretary.

When he reached her desk, he said, "When you saw the garage door open did you see my jaguar parked in there?"

The secretary smiled for a moment and said, "No, boss I didn't. All I saw was a Kancil 600 with 2 flat tires."
