End of 2008!

Time, sure flies. I think this year flew by tremendously fast for me. Without knowing it, we've already reach the end of the year. Many things happened this year for me and its been really an adventurous journey. Im sure this is the same for all of us.

Well, what I want to say is that, I'm thankful that we are all still around, and glad i've traveled this path. And I hope that it will be a better year in 2009 for all of us as well.

Have a wonderful new year and enjoy yourself. :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

A great dog story

Recently just read this forward email, and it really touched my heart. Thought of just sharing with you guys:


Anyone who has pets will really like this. You'll like it even if you don't and you may even decide you need one!

Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named 'Lucky.' Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing.

Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's other favorite toys. Lucky always stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys stay in the box. ;

It hap pened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her she was going to die of this disease....in fact ,she was just sure it was fatal.

She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders. The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck her...what would happen to Lucky? Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought. He won't understand that I didn't want to leave him. The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death.

The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable.

Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home , Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap. Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed.

When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong. She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned! While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life. He had covered her with his love.

Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day. It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky? He still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure.

Remember....live every day to the fullest. Each minute is a blessing from God. And never forget....the people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards They are the ones that care for us.

If you see someone without a smile today give them one of yours! Live simply. Love seriously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God

Dear God, I pray for the cure of cancer. Amen

All you are asked to do is keep this circulating Even if it's to one more person.
In memory of anyone you know that has been struck down by cancer or is still living with it

Presentation

Today, was quite an interesting day. Went over to Cyberjaya to do a presentation to some bosses. Yes, im trying to sell an idea to work. The name of the project is called 'Adaptiva' corney as it sounds, but i think its a cool name for bad times like this.

The idea is suppose to help Malaysians up and improve their business and also helping them out to market their products. Will let you all know and update you in detail if my project got through.

But presenting to bosses (4 of them) can be STRESSFUL. Well dont know if i get it or not, but i know i did my best. Most important is that, I tried. :)
Lucky did some early preparations for this project, loads of research, documentation, business proposal, sample datas, competitive evaluation and so on. Phew, quite stressful. But finally i finished my presentation today. Yay!

Anyway, anyone out there who have a new idea, dont give up on it, and GROW! TIme for my short break now. Good night. Zzzz....

Knowing my own language...

Well, i know i need to know at least my own language first before i learn other languages. Sigh, but im doing it the other way round.

Last 2 days, I send my friend off to the airport. Not that my friend is leaving for good, but just going off for a holiday. Once we're done, (I was with another friend) we went to get ourselves a drink from some 7-11 look alike store. Its run by indians, and when we make our payment, they guy said the price (RM4.80) in 'Mandarin'.

We're stunned for a moment, and wondering what he said. My friend blurted out saying, "Sorry i dont understand, we're bananas". Lucky i took mandarin(basic) before and realize that is RM4.80. Anyway, we paid him RM4.80 and he said thank you in 'Mandarin' again. Felt abit mocked actually. hehe

But yes, i think its a sign already. I will set that as my goal for next year. Early new year resolution! 'Able to communicate in mandarin by end of 2009'.

I believe its important as whatever race you are, learn at least your own language. Lucky i know cantonese, but thats not enough. Mandaran is very important as well.
Oh boy, a good year of challenge coming ahead. :P wish me luck.

Love and Relationship

Recently, quite a number of my friends have been sharing with me about their love problems, relationship problems, their success in relationships, and etc. It's pretty depressing for me to hear various problems and various stuffs that is happening around.

Anyway, some of the problems are the person in the relationship who loves each other decides to let the person go because the person decides to follow her desire instead of her love. Urgh, so sad to see that situation to happen. Sometimes we need to learn to follow our heart not just follow our intellect. Sure, everyone wants a perfect love, but is that achievable? I call that being NAIVE!

The next problem is that, sometimes we have people with a few relationships. Yes, cheating on your loved ones. Sigh, i don't know how some people can manage it, but to me its pretty sad as well to see the person being like this. A person with too many relationship will only fall into trouble. Thats my thought, but just that this person will truly find his true love and be loyal to iit.

There are some in a relationship that finds it hard to be truthful to their loved ones. I think when you lie to that person, you are lying to yourself. Why must one be limited and controlled by their loved ones. The relationship should be open and they both have their freedom to do what they want. What matters is having the trust and understanding of each other, and not to cheat on each other.

Anyway, thats my story for now. If i ever get into one, i'll tell my part on how things work out. Just hoping for the best for all my friends.
