THE RACE I MISSED

Got up this morning, rather excited and headed for the stadium. it's gonna be my maiden run.I was looking forward to this the whole week. I was on my way almost near to my destination, I saw a lone runner with the t-shirt, the same one I was wearing. Horrors of horrors, it then dawn upon me, I might have been late.No, no, I refused to believe that. Going towards the stadium there were marshalls, policemen every where. The truth sets in. I was indeed late!What is the moral of this story.? you might have registered,paid your dues and have all the necessary outfit,and even be ready, but unless you are in the race

FLOWERS OR NO FLOWERS LEH?

Last night at our "Tong Yen" session with some friends, the topic of sending flowers to spouse cropped up. One newly wedded was wondering why her spouse dont (or lack of it) send her flowers anymore. our learned and experience friend Jason ,while he is not against giving gifts to spouse, suggested we should be more practical ; when buying gifts the receivers should be able to use them. He is opioned flowers are a wasted of money, as they are only good to look at for a while since they withered off after a couple of days. He even suggested to my friend, "plant your own flowers if you like them so much." som

Klang Folks Jogging at Taman Rakyat Beware..

I was at Taman Rakyat this evening. Just to test run to see if I should attempt my maiden run in oct. Little do I know what was in store for me when i returned to my car. I noticed there were bricks underneath my car.A quick check confirm all tyres were intact, except for one tyre which was flat.Apparently it was deflated for easy removal.They must have left in frustration as they could not removed one of the nuts. In desperation they threw four of the nuts away. Do you believe in Angels? Guardian Angels that is. Well I do. Thank God they were not sucessful in their mischief. They could have seen an Angel and took off in a hurry. Would you believe it of all the day, I choose today not to carry my hand phone, and I could not remember my wife's phone. so I did the next best thing I called

A cheerful heart is good medicine,

Was at my mum's place this morning, when I had an upset tummy. Mum being mum always have the redemy at hand. I was given a type of "po chi pill" brand called Ban kah chai.I was surprise to find a bookmark in the box with these words. "cheerful heart is good medicine" This of course is from proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones . wonder if this guy have been reading proverbs. Guess what the medicine really works,just like the old brand I was so used to. Need to get some when going for mission ,especially those who has a weak stomach like me.

WHAT'S FOR LUNCH DEAR?

My wife suddenly got inspired to cook crabs for lunch today. I help too(honest) :-to eat up plus wash up!Ok maybe the wash up part is no effort on my part, but the eating part certain does, since I dont really fancy crabs.!so it takes really some effort to swallow those stuff down with no argument. Further more that was the only menu, no rice, no vegetables. just crabs and more crabs. After being married to the same woman for so many years I know when your woman spent so much time in the kitchen preparing the meal(delicious or otherwise) you dont suddenly "remember" you have a lunch date or you are fasting .

LEARNING TO TRUST GOD(AGAIN)

Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.This happen to be one of the favourite verse of one of a brother who was called home recently. It was no coincident this verse was also the opening verse of the guest Speaker,Pastor David Goh at our Church last sunday.For the past couple of months I have been counting the days towards oct when I will retired. It will means no income. who will put the food on the table? It's one thing to encourage people when they are in a situation,but when it inv

TRUE FRIENDSHIP

Seems like this question will always pop up. Who or what is a Friend? We will in some point of our life ask this question. I always tell people good friends are not many and true friend even less, but when you do find one value it. Here is some interesting articles which I like to share.Friendship is a gift of God. Some of us are blessed with good friends. But as it happens, these friendships are taken for granted in some cases and not valued. It is similar to a case of two couples. Say one has no child even after many years of marriage and the other has many children, more than they can manage. What do you th

He rolled over to pickhimself up but saw

DEATH : need not be scary if you know your maker

Got this in my email this morning. It is too good I have to share.~.. DEATH~ WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side." Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know." "You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?" The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

I was all game when a friend of mine invited me during the weekend to climb theSaga hill in cheras, little did I know what was in store for me.We left klang around 6.30am and reached our destination at around 7.10 am and immediately started to climb Having been to Broga, I thought this should be a breezeHow wrong I was . It was quite a steep climb and more difficult than broga. I was grasping for breath half way and the thought that went through my head was what have I got myself in to.?I stopped a couple of time to have my drink.and once to adjust my back pack and did not notice my friend have left without

The King of Pop is dead

Just heard over the news the passing of Michael jackson, the icon of pop music. I know a lot of his fans are mourning over their loss. I felt the same when I heard the news on the death of the King of roll and roll, Elvis Presely over 32 years ago. So I can understand how they must have felt right now. Msn news report here and cnn carries the report here.Though I am not a big fan of the MJ, but I cant denied I have not heard of his songs. who hasnt? His songs are played almost any other day on air and in the mall. Lately I have joined the gym and some of his songs are used in quite a few of the releases in Body

FOOD FOR THOUGHTS

A friend of mine email me this article which makes interesting reading.thanks jennifer.The 12 Most Powerful Super FoodsBy Amy Paturel, M.S., M.P.H.Why Are They So Super?Ask five nutritionists to rate the 12 most powerful foods and you'll get five different lists, but many of the selections will overlap. Why? Because every food provides something different: Some are a rich source of protein or fiber but void of many vitamins and minerals, while others contain disease-fighting phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, but no protein. The trick, claim experts, is to get a variety of the best foods. The following 12 po

Saying goodbye aint easy

May 22nd 2009: I was just checking my facebook after returning from a meeting. A pop up screen appear at the bottom . it was the chat screen. At first I was glad as it was good friend from Thailand whom I planned to meet in four month's time. We chat for a while and finally she broke the news she has closed her tagged account, which she was very active and where we share tag and other activities. It would also appear she will not be able to connect as often as before though we will still remain friends. somehow I dont sense that. I think it is a polite way of saying goodbye. I found it hard to accept. Friendship built over a period of time ,then suddenly it's goodbye. I hope it is just over reacting as I valued her friendship, just like a value any other friendship.Well only time will te

This is the second time,the host does not accept Ang-pows. The first time I came across this rare situation was the wedding dinner of the elder brother of this nephew. It was a grand wedding, just like the first one. On the way home my wife remind me on the budget for our son who has reach the ripe age for marriage. so I ask how much and she said at least 50K.
