Journey

Once, a lecturer asked an audience to describe " If i were a car". One of the audience describe it as below:-

If i were a car, i would like to be the tyre. This is because tyre is one of the important part of a car. Without the tyre, how good of the engine, chassis, seats, safety system, lighting system, audio system, GPS, video system, handling or security system, the car won't serve it purpose, which is to moves the passenger inside. Even though tyre just a a round thing made of rubber, it plays an important role of the car.

Tyre, it moves the car with the help of other mechanical items in the car. It integrates with them as a system to be a car. It similar with life, one been born with senses, decision making capability, capturing data using senses such as eye, ear, skin and nose and interpret it using brain accompany by wisdom. It gives an overall performing system.

Like a car, the purpose is to move. But during the process of moving, the Tyre experienced the surface of the road, whether it's a smooth surface? Hard, bumpy, cold, hot, soft, dusty, clean, oily, fine, rough, with dead insects on it, rotten leaf, watery, with potholes, uneven surface, new, old, tarred, cemented, bare earth, painted, non- painted, with words written, curly, straight and so on. This are the intrinsic experience that the car encounter. While the car is just to move, it's journey that carries much more meaning.


Life comparable to a journey is that one equipped to experience the process. Moving forward, turning right, turning left, wherever it goes, a new chapter lies ahead to be encounter and experienced. Dare to face whatever lies in front and not wait and see while thinking what lies ahead makes more sense than thinking too much. As times pass while that 'virtual' worries still keeps one standing still. Face the challenge steps at a time than thinking ahead without moving will be much productive and meaningful. Don't worry for the 'virtual' worry, face the real worry head- on will make one feel better and meaningful.

The road ahead not always a new tarred cozy smooth ride, sometimes it full of potholes and that makes you mad, makes your blood boiled. Sometimes you feel enjoyable ride such as new high-way, or sometimes it makes your adrenalin rush during heavy down pour which you have short visibility or some nut case chasing behind near you.


Road not always the same in every moment, anticipate the road ahead and be ready. Once you experienced the path one will have easier ride when encounter that path again. Experience comes with time, without the courage to drive over that path, one won't have the chance to gain that experience. The car is not a car when it is not moving.

Enjoy the journey..........................

Think Outside the Box

Every company has a performance appraisal system in place to measure the effectiveness of its employees.
Employees are normally rated in most of the companies in the above categories. Apart from the above non performance category is also there, which is not depicted here ) . Needless to say everyone wants to be rated Outstanding.
What is the yard stick and how do you measure these aspects?

Employee "A" in a company walked up to his manager and asked what my job is for the day?
The manager took "A" to the bank of a river and asked him to cross the river and reach the other side of the bank. "A" completed this task successfully and reported back to the manager about the completion of the task assigned. The manager smiled and said "GOOD JOB"
Next day Employee "B" reported to the same manager and asked him the job for the day. The manager assigned the same task as above to this person also.

The Employee "B' before starting the task saw Employee "C" struggling in the river to reach the other side of the bank. He realized "C" has the same task. Now "B" not only crossed the river but also helped "C" to cross the river."B" reported back to the manager and the manager smiled and said "VERY GOOD JOB"

The following day Employee "Q" reported to the same manager and asked him the job for the day. The manager assigned the same task again.
Employee "Q" before starting the work did some home work and realized "A", "B" & "C" all has done this task before. He met them and understood how they performed.
He realized that there is a need for a guide and training for doing this task.
He sat first and wrote down the procedure for crossing the river, he documented the common mistakes people made, and tricks to do the task efficiently and effortlessly.
Using the methodology he had written down he crossed the river and reported back to the manager along with documented procedure and training material.
The manger said "Q" you have done an "EXCELLENT JOB".

The following day Employee "O' reported to the manager and asked him the job for the day. The manager assigned the same task again.
"O" studied the procedure written down by "Q" and sat and thought about the whole task.
He realized company is spending lot of money in getting this task completed. He decided not to cross the river, but sat and designed and implemented a bridge across the river and went back to his manager and said, "You no longer need to assign this task to any one".
The manager smiled and said "Outstanding job 'O'. I am very proud of you."

What is the difference between A, B, Q & O????????
Many a times in life we get tasks to be done at home, at office, at play….,
Most of us end up doing what is expected out of us. Do we feel happy? Most probably yes. We would be often disappointed when the recognition is not meeting our expectation.

Let us compare ourselves with "B". Helping some one else the problem often improves our own skills. There is an old proverb (I do not know the author) "learn to teach and teach to learn". From a company point of view "B" has demonstrated much better skills than "A" since one more task for the company is completed.

"Q" created knowledge base for the team. More often than not, we do the task assigned to us without checking history. Learning from other's mistake is the best way to improve efficiency. This knowledge creation for the team is of immense help. Re-usability reduces cost there by increases productivity of the team. "Q" demonstrated good "team-player" skills,

Now to the outstanding person, "O" made the task irrelevant; he created a Permanent Asset to the team.
If you notice B, Q and O all have demonstrated "team performance" over an above individual performance; also they have demonstrated a very invaluable characteristic known as "INITIATIVE".

Initiative pays of every where whether at work or at personal life. If you put initiative you will succeed. Initiative is a continual process and it never ends. This is because this year's achievement is next year's task. You cannot use the same success story every year.
The story provides an instance of performance, where as measurement needs to be spread across at least 6-12 months. Consequently performance should be consistent and evenly spread.

Out-of-Box thinkers are always premium and that is what every one constantly looks out for. Initiative, Out-of-Box thinking and commitment are the stepping stone to success.
Initiative should be life long. Think out of the box.

CORRECT WAY OF COOKING INSTANT NOODLES

This is something that good to know.

The correct way to cook instant noodles without harming our bodies and health. `Normally, how we cook the instant noodles is to put the noodles
into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes and then it's ready to eat.

This is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles.

By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structures of the MSG
causing it to be toxic.

The other thing that you may or may not realize is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to
excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles.

CORRECT METHOD :

1. boil the noodles in a pot with water.
2. once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.
3. boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire.
4. only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredient with the powder into the water, to make noodle
soup.
5. however, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles and add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.

Dietician's Note: If you buy plain hakka noodles which you make initially need to boil in water and discard the water. This will soften
the noodles but to prevent it from sticking we need to add a tbsp of oil and also the noodles are deep fried partially to make it crunchy and
then dusted with flour to prevent it from sticking while boiling. Hence when you buy the noodles they are already made unhealthy and this
is the type we use to make stir fry noodles and the regular maggi too is made the same way plus they add MSG/ ajinomoto and other chemical
preservatives.

An Ontario Sardar Joke

A Sardar went hunting one day in Ontario and bagged three ducks

He put them in the bed of his pickup truck and was about to drive

home when he was confronted by a game warden who didn't like

Sardars. The game warden ordered the Sardar to show his hunting

license, and the Sardar pulled out a valid Ontario hunting license.



The game warden looked at the license, then reached over and

picked up one of the ducks, sniffed its butt, and said, "This duck

ain't from Ontario. This is a Quebec duck. You got a Quebec huntin'

license, boy?" The Sardar reached into his wallet and produced a Quebec hunting

license.


The game warden looked at it, then reached over and grabbed the

second duck, sniffed its butt, and said "This ain't no Quebec

duck. This duck's from Manitoba. You got a Manitoba license?"

The sardar reached into his wallet and produced a Manitoba

hunting license.


The warden then reached over and picked up the third

duck, sniffed its butt, and said, "This ain't no Manitoba duck. This

here duck's from Nova Scotia. You got a Nova Scotia hunting'

license?" Again the Sardar reached into his wallet and brought out a Nova

Scotia hunting license.


The game warden was extremely frustrated at this point, and he

yelled at the Sardar. "Just where the hell are you from?"

The Sardar smiled turned around, bent over, dropped his pants,

and said, "You tell me, you're the expert."

Date with second women! 和另一女人約會 !

和另一女人約會？

結婚了廿一年後，我發現了一種別出心裁的方法,可以讓愛的火花永保新鮮。

After get marriaged for twenty-one years, i found an unique way to refresh my love life.

不久以前 ，我和另一位女士約會，其實那還是我妻子的主意，

Not long ago, I was date with a lady, and the idea was came from my wife.

有一天她說：「我知道妳很愛她。」我很驚訝，立刻爭辯說：

「但我愛的是妳呀！」「我知道，但你也愛她呀！」

One day my wife said: I know u love her. I was shocked: The one I love is you! She said: I know, but u love her too.


我妻子要我去看的女士是我的母親。
The lady that my wife asked me to visit was my mother.

她已經寡居了十九年，然而我忙碌的工作和身為二個孩子父親的責任，令我分身乏術，以致很少有時間和她相聚。
She was alone for ninetwen years, however, I was busy with my job and my children, so I was less likely to visit her.

那晚，我打電話給她，邀約她第二天和我一起吃晚餐和看電影。
The night, i called her, invited her to have a dinner and movie with me at the second day.


「怎麼了，你還好嗎？」她問道。
' What happen? Are u alright?', she asked.

母親是那種會認為晚上那麼晚打電話，又突然邀約她，一定不會有什麼好事的人。

「我想如果有機會和妳單獨約會，一定很有意思。」我回答。
I answered: I was just thinking that if I have chance to date with u alone, it sure be very interesting.

她想了一會兒，然後說：「我非常樂意。」
After a while, she said: I do.

那個星期五下班以後，我開車去接她時，心裡有一點緊張,
The Friday after i worked, I fetched her at her home, felt like a little bit nervous.

因為從未嚐試過這樣的約會。
Because I had never to date with my mom before.

當我到達她家時，我看她對這樣的約會，似乎也有一點緊張。
When I reached her house, I found that she seems a little bit nervous too.

她在門內等著，身上穿著大衣，裡面那件禮服

還是最後一次慶祝結婚紀念日所穿的呢！
She was in her suite, which she wore during her last wedding anniversary with my dad, waiting me in her house.

她的頭髮還特意捲了一下，臉上的微笑像天使一般。
She made her hair specifically, smiling like an angel.

上了車後，她得意洋洋地說：「我告訴我的朋友，我要和我的兒子外出約會，他們都好羨慕，迫不及待要聽聽我們約會的情形。」
When she get into my car, she proundly said: all my friends were jeolous at me when they know that i'm gonna dating with my son.


我們去一家雖不豪華，但十分雅致，溫暖舒適的餐廳。
We went to a restaurent which was not expensive but with warmth and cozy environment.

我母親挽住我的臂彎，好像第一夫人一般。
My mom hold my hand as she was the wife of president.

入座以後，我必須幫她看菜單點菜，
After seat her, I help her to order her food,

因為她的眼睛現在只有大的字才看得見。
Because she only can read the big capital words.

用餐一半時，我抬起頭來，看到母親正在凝視我，
When we were eating, I found she was stare at me,

嘴角帶著懷舊的笑容說：「記得當你小時候，總是我為你看菜單的。」「那現在妳正好可以休息，輪到我來為妳服務了。」我回答。
She smile and said: I remembered that during ur childhood, I always make the order for u. I answered: then now is ur chance to take a rest and let me to serve u.


一面享用晚餐，我們一面聊天，聊得很愉快，
We keep talking during our dinner,

談了許多最近幾年來，各自生命中的一些事。Sharing about our life and some special things heppening these few years.


我們聊得太久了，所以趕不上電影。當我送她回到家門口，
We talked for very long time until we missed the movie. When I fetched her back to her house,

她說「我要再和你一起外出，但下次讓我作東好嗎？」我答應了。
She asked: I'd like to date with u next time, but please let me pay the bill next time. I agreed.


回家後，妻子問我：「你的晚餐約會如何？」
When I back to my home, my wife asked: how's ur date with ur mom?

「非常有意思，比我想像的好多了！」 ~我回答。
' It was interesting and fun, over my expectation', I answered.


幾天以後，母親因心臟病猝發而去世。這事發生得太突然了，
Few days later, my mom was passed away due to heart failure. The thing happened in an unexpected manner,

讓我完全措手不及。
I wasn't prepared for it at all.


不久以後，我收到一封信，裡面是上次我和母親約會的那家餐館的一張收據，上面有一張字條寫著：「我已先付了賬，因為我確定自己不可能再有機會去了，但我還是付了兩人份的賬──你和你的妻子。

你絕對想不到那一晚的約會對我有多大的意義，我愛你。」
Soon after this, I received a letter, there are a receipt of the restaurent that I dated with my mom, and a message: I already paid the bill for our next date, even though I know I'd probably won't have chance to date with u anymore, I still pay the bill for wo persons: u and ur wife. U will never know how meaningful the date to me, I love U.

從那一刻起，我深深體會，一定要及時說：

「我愛你」，並且要常常撥出時間給我們所愛的人。
At the moment, I realised: we must always spare our precious time to our beloved, and told them u love them before it is too late.


世上沒有任何事比自然如來因緣和你的家庭更重要，

多花時間和他們在一起，因為這事絕不能拖延到「以後有時間再說 ...」。
There is nothing more important than ur family, spend more time with them before it is too late.


「樹欲靜而風不止，子欲養而親不待」 是人生一大憾事。
Don't make any regret in our life.

~{ 愛無分 ,愛有份}~
不要等到爱得太迟，珍惜现在。祝您辛福！

Housewife

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed: 'Dear Lord:I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through. So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen!'

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish. The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, Awakened the kids, Set out their school clothes, Fed them breakfast, Packed their lunches, Drove them to school, Came home and picked up the dry cleaning, Took it to the cleaners And stopped at the bank to make a deposit, Went grocery shopping, Then drove home to put away the groceries, Paid the bills and balanced the check book. He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. Then, it was already 01P.M. And he hurried to make the beds, Do the laundry, vacuum, Dust, And sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework. Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.

After supper, He cleaned the kitchen, Ran the dishwasher, Folded laundry, Bathed the kids, And put them to bed. At 09 P.M . He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: - 'Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back. Amen!'

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied: 'My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night.'

Interpersonal Relationship

An interpersonal relationship is a relatively long-term association between two or more people. This association may be based on emotions like love and liking, regular business interactions, or some other type of social commitment. Interpersonal relationships take place in a great variety of contexts, such as family, friends, marriage, acquaintances, work, clubs, neighborhoods, and churches. They may be regulated by law, custom, or mutual agreement, and are the basis of social groups and society as a whole. Although humans are fundamentally social creatures, interpersonal relationships are not always healthy. Examples of unhealthy relationships include abusive relationships and codependence.

A relationship is normally viewed as a connection between two individuals, such as a romantic or intimate relationship, or a parent-child relationship. Individuals can also have relationships with groups of people, such as the relation between a pastor and his congregation, an uncle and a family, or a mayor and a town. Finally, groups or even nations may have relations with each other, though this is a much broader domain than that covered under the topic of interpersonal relationships.

All relationships involve some level of interdependence. People in a relationship tend to influence each other, share their thoughts and feelings, and engage in activities together. Because of this interdependence, anything that changes or impacts one member of the relationship will have some level of impact on the other member.

Sex

1. Sex is good to lose or maintain your weight.

Why torture yourself at the gym every week while having sex you can lose an easy 200 calories? Sex makes your muscles stronger, you get more flexible and you’ll have a better condition. And at the same time you’ll have a nice personal trainer. Isn’t that a nice idea? But if you really want to maintain weight; don’t get pregnant women.

2. Sex relieves pain

And for you women who complain about headaches so much; Sex helps! Not only for headaches because it relieves pain when have you your period too. But not too many men or women like to have sex when the women are bleeding to death. Except for those two pains, it also helps when you got back aches. The reason it relieves pain with woman, is that their pain level gets much higher when they have sex. Or they don’t think about their pains anymore while enjoying the sex. So men, no more pain killers by the bed to try to convince your woman to have sex.

3. Sex reduces stress

Yes, sex is relaxing. Your less tensed It doesn’t matter if you’re having sex on your own with mister bunny with someone else. Hormones make you feel warm and relaxed. And say it yourself. What’s more relaxing than having sex after a stressful day at work or with your in laws?

4. Sex is good for your immune system

People who are sexual active become less times sick. Sex reinforces your natural immune system and makes your body defend itself easier against viruses and other unwanted intruders. Why do I think about a phone call of my mother in law who wanted to come over and I told her she couldn’t because I was going to have sex with her son?

Also when you’re having an orgasm, the hormone prolactine is relieved and this can be used with Parkinson and Alzheimer.

5. Sex is good for your heart

Yes there is more than omega 5 butter. Sex is good for your heart. It makes your blood run trough all your veins and lowers the cholesterol lowers your blood pressure and in that way it can prevent heart attacks. At least when you’re in good health to start with and don’t need to use too much Viagra.

6. Sex is good for your self confidence and good for intimacy

When you have sex on a regular basis when you’re in a relationship, it will make you feel more connected to each other and the intimacy will grow. The warmth and intimacy will make you feel more self confident. What a bunch of hormones can do to you, right?

7. Sex improves sleeping

Sex(and masturbation) can make you sleep better. The physical effort you put into having sex and the hormones that are released when you’re having sex, make you feel drowsy, relaxed and then their often is no trouble getting into sleep.

8. Sex will keep you young and vital

Like my grandfather said when he was 90 and had a 55 year old girlfriend; Sex keeps you young and vital. You feel loved at your most vulnerable moment and feel good about that and start acting feeling great. That old man started jumping around the house after a good night of uhhh… sleep.

9. Sex is good for your mood

Feeling depressed? Had a bad day at the office? Stop being moody. Sex is the answer. Because of the hormones that get released after an orgasm, you feel much better and the day looks much brighter than it did at first.

10. Sex reduces the risks of cancer

There have been studies finding connections between sexual activity and reduced cases of cancer. Men who had regular sex seemed to have less chances of cancer. I’m talking about prostate cancer. A man, who ejaculates regulary, has less chance to get prostate cancer than men who don’t use that “thing” enough or don’t use it at all.

Sex is just healthy

As you see, sex is just a healthy thing for yourself or for the relationship you’re in. Your body is responding in a positive way on sexual activity. So when you want to go to the gym next time, maybe you’ll think about spending an evening at home instead. Just enjoy together, but remember at the same time also, a good relationship is not all about sex.

Different parts of our body age at different times

WE all accept that getting older is inevitable, and now leading clinicians have revealed the exact age when different body parts start to decline, most alarming being the brain and lungs.

French doctors have found that the quality of men's' sperm starts to deteriorate by 35, so that by the time a man is 45 a third of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Here, with the help of leading clinicians, Angela Epstein tells the Daily Mail the ages when different parts of the body start to lose their battle with time.

BRAIN - Starts ageing at 20
As we get older, the number of nerve cells - or neurons - in the brain decrease. We start with around 100 billion, but in our 20s this number starts to decline. By 40, we could be losing up to 10,000 per day, affecting memory, co-ordination and brain function.

GUT - Starts ageing at 55.
A healthy gut has a good balance betwee harmful and 'friendly' bacteria. But levels of friendly bacteria in the gut drop significantly after 55, particularly in the large intestine, says Tom MacDonald, professor of immunology at Barts And The London medical school. As a result, we suffer from poor digestion and an increased risk of gut disease. Constipation is more likely as we age, as the flow of digestive juices from the stomach, liver, pancreas and small intestine slows down.

BREASTS - Start ageing at 35
BY their mid-30s, women's breasts start losing tissue and fat, reducing size and fullness. Sagging starts properly at 40 and the areola(the area surrounding the nipple) can shrink considerably..

BLADDER - Starts ageing at 65
Loss of bladder control is more likely when you hit 65. Women are more vulnerable to bladder problems as, after the menopause, declining oestrogen levels make tissues in the urethra - the tube through which urine passes - thinner and weaker, reducing bladder support.. Bladder capacity in an older adult generally is about half that of a younger person - about two cups in a 30-year-old and one cup in a 70-year-old....

LUNGS - Start ageing at 20
Lung capacity slowly starts to decrease from the age of 20. By the age of 40, some people are already experiencing breathlessness. This is partly because the muscles and the rib cage which control breathing stiffen up.

VOICE - Starts ageing at 65
Our voices become quieter and hoarser with age. The soft tissues in the voice box (larynx) weaken, affecting the pitch, loudness and quality of the voice. A woman's voice may become huskier and lower in pitch, whereas a man's might become thinner and higher.

EYES - Start ageing at 40
Glasses are the norm for many over-40s as failing eyesight kicks in - usually long-sightedness, affecting our ability to see objects up close.

HEART - Starts ageing at 40
The heart pumps blood less effectively around the body as we get older. This is because blood vessels become less elastic, while arteries can harden or become blocked because of fatty deposits forming on the coronary arteries - caused by eating too much saturated fat. The blood supply to the heart is then reduced, resulting in painful angina. Men over 45 and women over 55 are at greater risk of a heart attack.

LIVER - Starts ageing at 70
This is the only organ in the body which seems to defy the aging process.

KIDNEYS - Starts ageing at 50
With kidneys, the number of filtering units (nephrons) that remove waste from the bloodstream starts to reduce in middle age.

PROSTATE - Starts ageing at 50
The prostate often becomes enlarged with age, leading to problems such as increased need to urinate, says Professor Roger Kirby, director of the Prostate Centre in London . This is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia and affects half of men over 50, but rarely those under 40. It occurs when the prostate absorbs large amounts of the male sex hormone testosterone, which increases the growth of cells in the prostate. A normal prostate is the size of a walnut, but the condition can increase this to the size of a tangerine.

BONES - Start ageing at 35
'Throughout our life, old bone is broken down by cells called osteoclasts and replaced by bone-building cells called osteoblasts - a process called bone turnover,' explains Robert Moots, professor of rheumatology at Aintree University Hospital in Liverpool . Children's bone growth is rapid - the skeleton takes just two years to renew
itself completely. In adults, this can take ten years. Until our mid-20s, bone density is still increasing. But at 35 bone loss begins as part of the natural ageing process.

TEETH - Start ageing at 40
As we age, we produce less saliva, which washes away bacteria, so teeth and gums are more vulnerable to decay. Receding gums - when tissue is lost from gums around the teeth - is common in adults over 40.

MUSCLES - Start ageing at 30
Muscle is constantly being built up and broken down, a process which is well balanced in young adults. However, by the time we're 30, breakdown is greater than buildup, explains Professor Robert Moots. Once adults reach 40, they start to lose between 0.5 and 2 per cent of their muscle each year. Regular exercise can help prevent this.

HEARING - Starts ageing mid-50s
More than half of people over 60 lose hearing because of their age, according to the Royal National Institute for the Deaf.

SKIN - Starts ageing mid-20s
The skin starts to age naturally in your mid-20s.

TASTE AND SMELL - Start ageing at 60
We start out in life with about 10,000 taste buds scattered on the tongue. This number can halve later in life. After we turn 60, taste and smell gradually decline, partly as a result of the normal ageing process.

FERTILITY - Starts ageing at 35
Female fertility begins to decline after 35, as the number and quality of eggs in the ovaries start to fall. The lining of the womb may become thinner, making it less likely for a fertilised egg to take, and also creating an environment hostile to sperm.

HAIR - Starts ageing at 30
Male hair loss usually begins in the 30s. Hair is made in tiny pouches just under the skin's surface, known as follices. A hair normally grows from each follicle for about three years, is then shed, and a new hair grows. Most people will have some grey hair by the age of 35. When we are young, our hair is coloured by the pigments produced by cells in the hair follicle known as melanocytes.

Cooling night, raining.

Finally the rain has started, getting heavier by each minutes. The over condensed air finally let go it's burden. Droppings of droplets hits the ground and roof. The sound of it makes you feel back to nature where it suppressed the artificial noise of man made machine. Cleanse the air and dirt from human caused. The act of balancing in process.

Football = Company

Football is an interesting game. Objective = score goal. Simple, senang, period, budak also know. Siapa Mat Owen semua pun tau.

So, in football (kakibola), the team comprises striker, defender, goal keeper etc. and everyone have their role.

1. Striker, senang la, strike je le.
2. Defender, also senang, jangan bagi opponent strike le.
3. Goal keeper, lagi senang, jaga goal saja le, jangan bagi bola apa macam bola, bola ping pong, bola keranjang, bola tennis, bola golf, bola kecil atau besar, asalkan bola, jangan bagi masuk kat goal. itu je, senang.......
4. Midfield, passing bola around to related player like striker.

So, with every position in place, they just need to work out a way to tendang bola into opponent goal. Penetrate the goal, itu je juga. Senang kan.

And all the player will have a coach to guide them by watching beside the field wearing suts and tie. The job is simple, to deliver the trophy to his boss by winning the goal. Simple juga kan! Yes, everyone have specific job and that's why they employ so many players to tendang sebiji bola.

But why team lose? Is it because the bola terlalu kecil untuk tendang? Terlalu laju untuk tangkap, terlalu licin untuk passing? Atau kerana opponent badan besar sampai block the bola? atau opponent terlalu hitam sampai bola pun tak nampak? Atau opponent strategy terlalu handle macam Sun Tze?

Kalau mau bagi reason, berkilometer panjang kertas academic pun boleh tulis. Tanya Menteri Sports, dia boleh bagi macam-macam reason. Kerana cuaca terlalu sejuk, grass too dry or too wet, echo from the crowd, tak cukup supporter, terlalu banyak opponent supporter, tak ada ambulan (player scared later get hurt no nice nurse around, cannot concentrate....!!!), jersi color tak cukup cun, minuman terlalu manis, opponent mulut berbau, referee tak cukup handsome, stadium tak ada olimpik standard, stadium design tak macam sarang burung, berkilo- kilo meter panjang macam kemampuan pen kilometrico.

As people said, ball is round thus many possibility can happen. And the end result is, either party will win, so do lose. Easy kan? Tak payah fikir panjang lebar, gemuk kurus, atau simple or complicated. Win or Lose.



So, if put company or business into football, it sounds like this:-

1. Striker(salesman/ salesgal/ sales associates/ sales manager/sales rep/ sales director/ ahli jual/ consultant/ entrepreneur) dia hanya JUAL saja le. Nothing but sell!
2. Defender (Support team/ application team/back- end support/technical team/ regional technical manager/ draughtman/aunty that bancuh kopi/aunty yang lap meja dan buang sampah/administrator/ credit manager/ finannce exec/Monitoring manager) dia pa hanya support and come out with the briliant idea how to make sure opponent don't have edge than their team. Dia orang are the pro dan highly paid. No target, 8am to 5am, kalau extra time dia kira OT. No target = can sleep peacefully.
3. Goal keeper (Service engineer/ technician/ service manager/ service director/ special service/ extra service) as long as customer happy and not returning the product that striker jual. Senang juga, just Service the customer 100%, make them happy, service cukup- cukup. Tak cukup, tambah extra service.
4. Midfield (regional customer manager/ operator/ key account supervisor/ pemain dam kat kedai kopi/ mat rempit/ orang tepi jalan) to pass leads to salesman to follow up, don't need to do quotation, no skills required accept lips kung fu. 'Everything also can, i'll get my guy to see you'. Itu je dia punya kehebatan.

And not forgetting Coach (General Manager/ CEO (not Chief Entertainment Official)/ MD/ Sr. Manager/ VP/ President) Their task is to make sure the team wins, to make sure the company wins the competition and achieve or exceed the target set by someone sit on top (God) and meet the bottom line as well. So this position is the most important, Coach = GM = Captain = Jeneral = Driver. Kalau mat driver ini salah haluan, sampai lah kayu hitam dan bukan Singapora. Kalau driver salah ambil penumpang, terambil Bangla dan bukan Mat Engineer. Either or, tak sampai destinasi atau hantar salah barang!

So, it is clear that in order to achieve the objective set, there must have the driver that can drive to that direction and pick up the correct passenger. If the driver is lesen kopi atau lesen terbang, the whole passenger also follow terbang lah.

Good Place To Be

Looking for escape from hussle and buzzle, this is the place!
With economy downturn, maybe no bonus, bad mood boss, angry boss, not enough sleep boss, and with seruan from menteri to tukar cara hidup, to travel in country than out country. This is the place. With Sea, Sky, Hills, Beaches, Nice people, Nice food, Nice animals, Nice plant, you got it all. It's here.

So, come over to Northern region. where your excitment is the anticipation of the local.

Nice Saturday

Hari ini cuaca baik kat Utara, emosi manusia juga baik.

Kat uptown, ada aktiviti yang gempar dengan bola, musik, orang, minuman dan lampu kilaun.

Hari yang baik untuk keluar rehatkan jiwa dan kenal jiran tetanga anda yang tak kenal.

Sabtu yang baik, hari yang sesui untuk roti bakar dan kopi peng.

Kejap saya nak ke sana!

Jumpa lagi nanti untuk perkembangan roti dan kopi peng.

Ini dia, roti dengan kopi peng yang sedap dan 'kau' dengan cara yang tradisional.

Mamee dan Apollo yang sentiasa dinikmati masa kat sekolah. Tak de perubahan pun. 30cent sebunkus Mamee, tapi sais dah mengecil lebih 50 peratus. Ini lah hakikat Malaysia, seperti yang diseru, 'Tukar Gaya Hidup'. kakakaka, tukar ke sais kecil la! Bukan value-add, tapi value-reverse add.

Full- of HOPE

Full tank, ability to go further covering more journey and the unknown.

Brings hope to go further.
