Signed up for Star Walk 2014 August 6, 2014 bizadmin Last night, I signed up for Star Walk for 3 persons including my youngest sister and paid $36 at $12 each. There will be a T-shirt given to identify the participants and will be held on 14th September next month. This is the first time I am joining Star Walk and need to practice at the gym downstairs to build stamina for the 7km walk, starting at 7:00am from Penang Times Square. There will be lucky draw prizes as usual and I hope to be able to win something. The main idea is to help me lose weight as I train for 1 month prior to the date. Well, in case I don’t complete the walk, there will be a feeder bus to fetch the remaining walkers stranded and too tired to continue with the journey.
Just Walk to the Next Room August 1, 2014 bizadmin In the past 11 years, I don’t have to commute to work and get stuck in snarling traffic jams for hours or wasting time to get dress up for work in another location. All I need to do now is just walk to the next room which is now my workstation equipped with a laptop, printer, fax and internet connectivity. I am certainly blessed with a home office to work right in the comfort of a home life. Also, I can take power naps when the need arises and work again when I am ready and in the mood. There cannot be found another better arrangement than this. And I thank God for my dream job to work in a small office home office, or simply abbreviated as SOHO.
Be Surrounded by Positive People July 26, 2014 bizadmin In all matters, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. In the same manner, also try to surround yourself with positive people, friends who bring out the best in you and for you, not against you or try to talk you down to feel superior. Stay away from negativity, even your own family if they constantly talk you down or you just feel depressed being around them. If you can afford it, and have a good friend to help, then stay together and get out of the house of war. It is not good for the soul to be talked down all the time in favour of other siblings who may be the favourite in the family. You have to love yourself and take care of yourself, because no one else can do this for you. In times of stress, talk to God and pray for guidance, for the Holy Spirit to be the beacon of light to guide your life in this complicated world. Most of all, strive to be happy.

Went to KL on Friday July 14, 2014 bizadmin I went to KL last Friday for the day and returned to Penang at night. We went there to collect a cheque, but alas, it was not to be. The client has no money and is waiting compensation from the insurance company. So, this will take months to settle for the balance payment. Money is difficult to come by nowadays with projects stuck with cash and owners not willing to pay for whatever reasons. I have to be more cautious now with my expenditure and I cannot afford to just splurge anyhow I like. I pray for prudence and to not dress up to get rich. Also collected 5 letters from home with a replacement Citibank credit card.
My Birthday Yesterday at Foong Wei Heong Restaurant July 7, 2014 bizadmin I celebrated my birthday yesterday at Foong Wei Heong Chinese Restaurant at Sri Bahari Road in Penang. My parents, youngest sister and best friend came along. The dish above is four seasons consisting of stir fried scallops garnished with vegetables, honey coated fried chicken, spring roll and mayonnaise prawns. This dish cost $60 and enough to serve 5 of us. Gold Choice Gourmet Coffee was open last month in Penang Times Square and they offer barrista classes on how to serve gourmet coffee. They are a franchise business with several machines for coffee making costing in the range of thousands and easily 4 thousand upwards. I guess the boss must be quite wealthy, because they close rather early compared to the surrounding places and by 9:00pm, it is already closed. The above was ordered at Chinese Recreation Club where my friend is a lifetime member with no monthly charges. It is called green dragon vegetables stir-fried with garlic and garnished with stripes of red chilly. It tasted rather crunchy and soothe the palate. This is one of my favourite dish – stir-fried egg with chunks of crab meat, dried scallops and water chessnut, garnished with julienned lettuce. Depending on who takes the order, the dish can taste as ordinary as fried egg or a gourmet dish with lots of crab meat chunks. This is the first time I ordered and tried the Indian curry prawns with fried bun that was crusted on the outside. The bun was superb when dipped in the curry and the flavour melts in your mouth. The prawns were large and I think could be Tiger Prawns. The food taken all together where we had our dinner at Chinese Recreation Club recently.
Down with Flu June 27, 2014 bizadmin Just 2 nights ago, I vomited 8-9 times the entire night and my partner could not sleep due to the constant coughing. I went to 1 Malaysia Clinic in Penang Times Square to get medication for the vomiting and flu. The para-medic gave gargle solution, cough mixture, pills to stop vomiting and for fever. I am better now, but still need plenty of rest. Not sure if I can attend church this weekend and I have paid and sign up for a new program to make money online. The free ebook itself is already over 300 pages but the actual way to make money will use software to automate tasks and cost thousands of dollars.
Trying to Reduce Weight June 18, 2014 bizadmin I am trying to reduce my weight now for a better BMI. For a start, I have skipped lunch since 5 days ago, taking only small portions of fruits and water and exercising on the cross trainer in my condo unit. I am too lazy to get dressed and wear sports shoes to hit the gym downstairs in my condo, hence, prefer to exercise in private while watching telly preferably on a daily basis. For incentive, I get $5 for each meal I skipped from my spouse and $5 from dad for each KG that I shed. Currently I am 82 kg and hope to be the biggest loser as in the tv show showcasing the process of losing weight by all participants.
