Wonderful 2007 year end with myFamily slide......

Contentment of life

Q: How can one be contented with pursuing mental and physical satisfaction?
A: Unhappiness is caused by a loss of contentment which the result of unlimited desire. People who lead a simple life are often easily contented, while those who indulge in physical satisfaction are often not contented. One needs to strike a balance between mental and physical satisfaction. To learn to be contented, it is necessary to cut down the pursuit of physical satisfaction, and lead a simple life with a grateful heart.

Q: Do you ask somebody for help when you encounter a problem or do you solve the problem with the help of your own wisdom and the Master's teachings? The Master often reminds us to guard our conscience ourselves as she cannot possibly pay close attention to every single person.
A: Since your involvement in Tzu Chi work is a kind of spiritual cultivation, you should always keep these things in mind: be tolerant of adversity, remain vigilant at all times, respond promptly , and learn to 'let go' once the issue is dealt with. Sometimes, I do encounter problems. however, I am able to speed up my problem-solving gradually. As I no longer have any cravings, I have fewer problems than before. It is important to build a wide network of friends as you will meet wise people who can help you out when you encounter problems.

I get this above articles from the The World of Tzu Chi, 2007-11 edition by David Liu. Just makes me think of my life should be getting into simple and tolerant living instead of the unnecessary complicated pursuing that bring us the unhappiness. Let go gradually what we think we have to get more and more.....

Upset for the sake of RM5 late charge?

Oooh..., in this lovely and sunny Sunday morning, it should make me great and spirit-uplifted.
Then, once I have checked the banking online credit card bill, ophhsssss, I spotted a Wondering 'late payment charges-RM5' in my last month statement.

A thousand Q in my mind even if i got pay it on the exact due date time.
Is the bank mistakenly charged and printed?
Is the bank hanky-panky treat with this 'hidden cost' stuff?

I got a bit mischievous and irritating, and make a call to this 'oversea bank' about the matter. What the operator reply make me more unbelievable and annoying, which is due to the 'Cheque' is needed for clearing for 2-3 days in central bank and then only the bank only 'recognize' the cheque once is cleared for this process.
Can I loose my temper and throw a tantrum like a toddler to this innocent operator, even if she agreed to waive it for this time but advised me to pay in early day than the due date?

Ya, a good reason and explanation we should really appreciate.
But, don't the bank understand the consumer's knowledge about those 'banking system process' is ZERO?
As a consumer do we have to know about the bank to process the cheque payment in 3-5 days early than the credit card due date?
OMG, then as this marvelous and well-known oversea bank SYSTEM should be enhanced to be more SMART enough to cater this rather than 'I' act as a 'fussy' bank customer, that really jeopardize my high-spirit passion for the sake of the RM5 late payment charges, to make this ridiculous COMPLAIN in this wonderful Sunday....

Just loose the temper away and let go. Cool down.

Out of Control

Sometimes we think we can control ourself easily: our emotion, our passion, our mindset and our time;

Somehow, sometimes we still have other factors that run out of our own control:
Can we manage to cool down the emotion if someone tick you off seriously?
Can we manage to wane away the passion if a baby cry out loud continuously?
Can we manage to believe what it is fair and square if someone make it impaired intentionally?
Can we manage to follow the schedule if someone have their own priority?

Then, we start suspecting what we are doing, do and done.
Then, we keep on bubbling, grumbling and complaining.
Then, we get blue MOST of the time in the blue month.
Then, we accept what other do is right even it is incorrect?
Then, it loops in routine in our life again and over again.

Out of control?
This is our life?

I am experiencing, searching and adjusting in the dilemma.
How to get out of it?
It is just a time factor.

Bloody auspicious wedding seasonS

Woo, it is a year i get married, what a wonderful new-wed life yet. Nevertheless, again since Sept and Oct onwards till the end of year, as malaysian chinese couples are always keen to tie the know in these auspicious and favorable period.

So, most of us will 'EASILY' get invited for 2 - 3 wedding dinner a month, no kidding it sounds like a honor, credit and proud to get this 'Red Bomb'. Then, any 'honorable' one would have to spare a year end budget for funding the investment, which for single would get the Return one-shot if he or she get to the altar soon. Otherwise, the married like me is starting to pay back the interest of return (kidding ya).

Raymond & Jessica's Bigday

Ommphsss, where are the married couples' photos?

Anyway, it really really not only the couples get happy but also the rest of the family, relatives and friends would take this opportunity to get together for the sake of re-Union and reminisce the old school events. It is cool and interesting to get to know the old folks or old foes, just the year end bonus would be cut down a bit. Chiss....

Finally, I manage to get the Raymond & Jessica's Bigday photos, have a look!

New BB is coming to town!!!

Woooooooo my little cute bb is born. so excited and unexplainable in words! It is really grateful to get a bb girl, no matter smile and cry, that complete us.

Share my joyful and happiness to others, and thanks for others congratulation and regards.

A year in Tokyo and Not in KL

Woo.... It is still cannot imagine i have been in this metro-city over a year. What I learned, I earned, I listened and I shared, I really really appreciated and enjoyed. I have experienced what I have never ever get again, i presumed! But, I still have to thank all the people who lend their hand for me and share all the happiness and grieves. I am supposed a guy who really active, over-active, sensitive and sensible, but i might be the one who extremely go beyond it, but in here i truly learn to give and take, still in learning.

A year ago, i was single then change my status to Not-available!!! Super-Married gal. It is again i am the most gifted and lucky guy had my current lovely wife. I thank her comprehensiveness and forgiveness of my Unsound job! superb unsound and insensible job that no one really go on it. I really cannot carry on this way i believe. I have to decide to get it out of me sooooooooooooon.

So, next to my coming lovely baby girl, i wish i will carry you once you born from time to time forever, i believe i will. No one leave their family for the sake of the sake, what sake? You take then you have to give it back or let go. Sure, nothing is perfect, no one wanna be the perfect guy in this wonderful world, not even a super-----------man, for what to super?

Just be ordinary? who else would be, someone or anyone want to be. Ya, no one. But once you are no longer to get satisfaction, you are no longer to be. I feel tired of this life with WANT. no body like it but it is life to get along and get by.

malaysians in Mahathir restaurant of Tokyo

It is spring time in Tokyo, everyone feels great in every time and everywhere. The PM get ready to buy us big dinner, in a malaysian ipoh-based restaurant called 'Mahathir Restaurant', for no sake.



Everyone looks great and high-spirited in this gathering, sounds like out of the jail.



The restaurant owner is a Japanese and married with a malaysian Ipoh girl for more than 20 years in Tokyo. The hostess told us that in early to mid of 90's, the restaurant is full of malaysian who 'grab golds' (illegal worker) in Tokyo. Then later, most of them get caught and send back to malaysia for illegal entrance, the restaurant sales also get impacted. Now, only those who get business trip and malaysian student in Tokyo still support the restaurant business. oh....luckily we enter in Legal passport VISA, geee.


He drunk! She sulks!

It is really the enjoyable and cheerful to get the tasteful malaysian food in Tokyo.

the Land of Disney or Dream?

Disneyland, a wonderland with joyful and blissful for all the children and toddlers. So, a man like me suppose not to be in here? why? because I do not belong here and not my land anymore. Sleeping Beauty, Alice in the wonderland, Snow White and the 7 drawfs, Winnie the Pooh's, Tom and Jerry, Donald Duck, and Mickey Mouse.....it is full of Disney cartoons, and lovely story we have known since we were kids.



It was all my old old time story, but I have no more tales to tell in my early 30 yet. Probably, my wife, kids and family to get together in here would inspire me to be grateful and fruitful for our family Land in future.

a French gentleman meets with a Malaysian lady

waoooooo, in this prosperous CNY season festival, there is a couple getting to tie the knot. They are from the West to meet the East, a Malaysian girl with the French gentleman love story yo!



Again, it is another Big chance for the old folks and foes gathering!


Congratulation, Bee Ean and Fabien!

ReUnion and ReSolution

Oh cool...

I have a wonderful reunion in this chinese new year of boar. I believe every chinese around the world get my word. It is just like a Christmas day, Hari raya puasa or Deepavali celebration.

scHoolmates

We met family, relatives and friends we have long time not or never come across. We felt happy of someone's tying the knots, great of someone's promotion, regret of someone's leaving. On the other hand, we might feel jeoulousy of someone's tying the knots, humble of someone's promotion, smile of someone's leaving. It is not a problem what ever we might think, it is just a session or topic we have to face and then leave it later. But it is meaningful and fruitful to get together with all the people.

eX-colleagues

We have celebrated it from year to year, and we have made new year resolution for ourselves, I am not sure anyone really think it back of what we have or have not fulfilled for the past year resolution. Probably, one or two has been achieved! and the rest what to do? Ummph, just try another year to make it true? or just ignore it? I am not what others do, but I just made what i have to achieve from short-term and long-term plan. Isn't it clear to make and keep it instead of break it our own, so make the simple and achievable but it is what we have to do it to widen our mind and get ourselves grow up!

courSemates

Sounds simple, I believe whoever think as what I expect either! But, I believe only those who put the plan down to ground, only will get the result no matter good or bad, but we have to act on it to do the best we can and Experienced it. A dream never come true when no action come along, and an action never achieved when no Dream at all! So, both have to carry out together and monitor and control and improve. Oppps it sounds like Management? I think so, don't you!

SLCCC-coLLeagues

Happy re-Union in 2007 CNY and look forwards to coming years!

Get home

What a wonderful time at home. Ya, probably only those have left home for sometimes or on stint would get me thoroughly. Why? Initially I really NOT experience the homesick feeling since i was born for the past the 30 years, not either get through those outstationed-dudes' sober and miserable, especially for the season of love and Chinese NY gathering time.

Probably i really had get by easily and took it for granted what i have around me. Ya sure, practise make you experience of a happening but not perfect, perfect just makes your DESIRE till not end and isolated. So, now the stint on oversea makes me more MATURE and tolerance, i will do the best to grow out it from time to time soon, yo!

I believe the married life also more or less change my thinking to be more reponsibility to my love wife ya, also my parents and family. What makes me so tremedously sudden change? I think, ya, a man and a guy difference will loom easily after tying the knots. Then, it is not a symbol of getting old but to go up to a new next phase in the life cycle i had never exposed to! cool, I believe this is what we have to get through and take on the new challenge we have to act on it instead of just a pure plaining dream.
