今早载母亲和老婆去巴刹，听到一位先生问卖粽子的老太太:“多少钱一粒?” 老太太说:“五块钱。” 结果那位先生买了二十粒，付上一百大元。 看来接下来的生活真的不好过。

Potraits of Me
My wife was out for a company dinner tonight. I had to keep my two sons busy. After making sure they have finished their homework, I thought it's time for me to get acquainted with my new cabinet members in the newspaper. Too bad, Ming was on my lap talking into my ear and Yuan was asking to play his favourite Pokemon games. I had to keep them occupied for a while. So I told them to sit down and do a potrait of me. And......
These were their master pieces:
Firstly, from my 11 year-old Yuan
.... and then from my 5 year-old Ming.

Can a lawyer do this to his client?
Finally my agent managed to find an interested party in one of my properties. I appoint the lawyer recommended by my agent. Since this is quite a straight forward case, I don't see any problem.
The buyer's lawyer prepared the S&P agreement and someone from my lawyer' firm called me up and ask me to go through the agreement. Let's be frank, this is my first experience in selling a property (not that I have so many properties), I have zero knowledge on the procedures.
I met this guy in the law firm. To my surprise, he can't converse in proper English. No big deal, as long as he knows his work. My surprise was "upgraded" to a shock when I found out that he can't even explain the clauses in the agreement to me. Of all the questions I asked, his standard answer was " I will talk to my boss on this."
Come on, he is wasting my time and I am paying for all these? I left the firm with a heavy heart. Is the lawyer competent enough to handle my case? I know lawyers nowadays are so busy and if the lawyer meet you in person to discuss things, it has to be a big transaction. A RM80k transaction will not be significant to get him to meet you. But then, isn't lawyer a professional and his staff has to be proficient in work?
I wrote an email to the lawyer as that is the only mode of commucation that can reach him personally. I did this as a consumer. I am entitled to a professional service as I am paying them at "professional rate". He finally agreed to get his partner to handle my case. Again it is too small a transaction for him to handle personally.
I have dealt with many law firms, but all others have clerks who are knowledgeable to deal with. Most of them give intelligent answers, enough to give you an impression that they know their stuff. This particular one really gave me a shock.
I have to stand up for the consumer right! Sorry guy if I put you in a tight position, but please brush up your skill or you will be out in the cold sooner that you think.

进一步再想想, 鼓励独立思考的人结果造就了太空梭上太空漫游的神话, 唯命是从的人“创造”了搭太空船上太空旅游,还大言不惭的笑话.
我的老母亲又和小儿子争电视遥控器,小儿子不给她,老母亲骂了他几句.小儿子装着没听见,只是他的眼神出卖了他.他毕竟是在乎被人骂的.
第二天,小瓜乖乖的拿了两颗葡萄,一颗拿给老母亲,一颗拿给老爸. 两老有点惊奇. 不一会,老爸又和小儿子争电视遥控器,老爸说:“你又不乖了？”小瓜说：“我已经给你葡萄吃了”.
其实小瓜也没做什么坏事,只是做了一些别人不高兴的事,他有点内疚,所以他去哄他们开心. 因为他知道只要大人高兴,他才能耳根清静.
我们不也常常做了一些令人不高兴的,但不见得是错的事吗? 上司问你一个问题,你提供一个很专业并客观的答案,却不是他心里要的那个. 他不高兴,你已被打了个折扣. 我当然可以说出他心坎里的那句, 只是过不了自己那关.
在美国求学时,很欣赏他们鼓励学生们要独立思考. 往往在讲堂里百家争鸣,据理力争,就这样,以智慧,以口材,把许许多多有创意的点子给想出来. 充满趣味和活力.
在公司里,其实也不缺少有智慧的人.真正缺少的是有辩才和敢独立思考的人，更缺少的是有胸襟, 能接受并鼓吹独立思考的上司.
开会时最能看到公司的人事百态, 更能看到这公司的张力到什么程度. 上司往往会给机会下属发言以示他开放的一面, 开始的几趟还有一些羞答答,小小声说出心声,不见得是不好,只是没有好好的整理, 有条理的呈现,所以被拉倒. 这就是缺乏辨才和说服力.
有一些言之有物,雄心万丈,却也不见得有好下场. 怪只能怪上司没有如他咀边所说的那么开放, 根本就没有诚意接受异见.
当然，还有一些天生的哈叭狗，凡事跟着大势走准没错.
久而久之, 开会由开始的讨论, 演变成演讲, 再沦为接受指令的地方.
在这种上司的带领下, 再好狼犬,如果不辞职的, 也会被磨成唯唯诺诺哈叭狗. 连四岁的小儿子也知道,只要做一些大人喜欢的东西, 一切就会平平安安, 我就可以躲在背吿为所欲为.

Fun Drive n Durian Fest - update
A woking trip was conducted on 17 June 2007 to Kampung Titi. The tentative route of the Fun Drive was identified and landmarks as well as other interesting places were shortlisted as candidate for the questions. Those who visit my blog will get a clue or two.
On the way to Kampung Titi, OC Rtn Amus Loo's Volvo car was targeted by "terrorist", a "missile" fired at us but only inflicted a minor damage to the side-viewing mirror. Amus Loo is RM1600 poorer now. So guys, please buy insurance from him to minimize his damage.
Discussion with some school council members was fruitful and arrangement of the Durian and Fruit fest was in orther. We were promised the best durians and fruits selection on the day, D24, "Hong Ha", "Mau San Wong", "white mouse", pandan taste coconut, dragon fruits, pineapple, ciku, star fruits. Special arrangement is being made to visit one of the orchard on that day.
The trip ended with a lunch at Titi restaurant. Our Rtn Nicholas can't stop himself from the "Kao Yok" dish, so much so that addition plate had to be ordered. Rtn BC Khoo was busy with the " Doggy Duck" dish thinking that it is dog meat. Or may be I was wrong, it may very well be "Ducky Dog".
The meal worked wonders on us. We were so relax that we forgot about visiting the Titi Eco Farm. To tell you the truth, we did it on purpose because Rtn Nicholas wanted to go back again to taste the "Kao Yuk" again on the next trip.

Fun Drive n Durian Fest
Rotary Club of Sri Petaling is organizing a “Fun Drive n Durian Fest” to Kampung Titi, Negeri Sembilan on Sunday 22nd July 2007. The programme is an opportunity for the club members to foster closer ties with their families, at the same time conduct a charity drive to raise fund for the SJK Chun Yin, Kampung Titi. The fund raised will be used to upgrade the office equipments, which includes buying a new photocopier among others.
For those who are interested, please contact konghy@gmail.com or amusloo@gmail.com for registration form.
In order to make the trip more fun-filled, a treasure-hunt look-a-like will be arranged to make sure everyone explores the beauty of the nature and the many interesting views of countryside that most of the city folks tend to overlook. Prizes will be given to the first 5 cars with the most correct answers to the questions.
A durian fest will be arranged in SJK Chun Yin to welcome all the participants. Farmers from the surrounding areas will be donating fruits and vegetables to this event. All the paid-up participants will be able to enjoy as much fruits as their stomachs can carry, and we ensure that all the fruits will be of the best quality.
With the generosity and kindness these farmers have shown, it is only right that we reciprocate by buying more fruits and vegetables for our friends and families. All the proceeds from the sales will also be donated to the school, so, go on a shopping spree, ladies and gentlemen!
On the way back, we will visit a dragon fruit orchard to see for ourselves, many for the first time, how a dragon fruit tree looks like. Dragon always brings good luck, so enjoy the prosperous trip.
To add to the excitement, for those who would like to explore more of the nature, we will recommend that you go a day earlier and spend the Saturday night (21st July 2007) at the famous TiTi Eco Farm. Experience the closeness to the nature where all foods are prepared organically. Details of the resort are in the attached brochure. We can assist to make reservation. If the response is good, further discount is possible.
For those who are interested, please contact konghy@gmail.com or amusloo@gmail.com for registration form.
莫明其妙的,我竟然来到北京
莫明其妙的,我竟然来到北京. 十多年前曾经付了钱要到那儿看看,却没有成行. 一眨眼已经步入中年.
由于来得勿忙,心理上还没来得及调度,我已在5月23日凌晨降陆北京机场. 在到酒店途中,心里一直在寻找一种心情. 一时也说不上来是什么心情.
和同事们入住酒店后己迫不及待的要到处逛逛. 正要踏出酒店大门,被接待处的小姐叫住,她要我们写上我们的中文名字. 写着写着,心里无比的畅快. 上一回我的中文名如此被重视,应该是我12岁那年. 今年我巳经41.
天安门和故宫是第一站. 花了半个小时找地铁站,沿途问了好位路人,原来都不是北京人. 地铁站里我竟也被人问路! 一时间,那种心情来了. 来北京,我不想成为一位游客. 我深深感受到那种“我回家了”的心情.
见识了故宫的大,天安门广场的乱,长安路的车多,也经历了中国人的真. 他们真的不排队,真的到处吐啖,真的大声说话,女的真的穿着裙子蹲着连底裤都看到,男的真的赤着膊子穿着西裤在街上走.
接下来两天,除了工作,也抽空到过老北京,看到旧课本才看到的四合院,小胡同,只是整条街却改成酒吧街,有点不伦不类. 两个晚上到过王府井和西单,有名的购物天堂,却没有任何收获.
午餐后踏入了十三陵. 沿途看到樱桃成熟时. 地下宫殿幽森难测,仿佛一幕幕迷团在眼前揭开.
勿勿的我又得上飞机. 折折腾腾,换了3次登机栅,总算上了飞机坐下来. 静静的想了想,失望之情幽幽的渗进的心房. 原来在脑子里酝酿了许久的归乡情,在等待中,巳慢幔的变质了. 只有我一厢情愿,那能激得起浪花.

最后一天的空档, 做了一个好汉,上了八达岭的长城,坐缆车到半途,爬上四个烽火台. 难忘的是雄伟延绵的长城,和烽火台上的阵阵尿臭味.
午餐后踏入了十三陵. 沿途看到樱桃成熟时. 地下宫殿幽森难测,仿佛一幕幕迷团在眼前揭开.

My Matrix has been serving me well for almost 2 years now. One day as I was giving her a much deserving wash, I saw lots of scratches on the body which were hardly visible when dirty. Well, all these are the normal wear and tear. I can take it.
As I was drying the headlamp area, I saw that the chrome plating of the headlamps are forming bubbles. Now thats not acceptable even though they still function well. I made up my mind that I would make a warranty claim.
Went straight to the workshop, showed the supervisor the defect. In half an hour's time, I am a happy man with a new pair of headlamps.
That happiness only lasted one day. The next morning after a heavy downpour in the night, I saw condensation inside the lenses of the headlamp. Now what? What is wrong here? I have to make another claim? Called the workshop and they ran out of stock. have to live with this for two more weeks.
We are constantly trying to patch things up, solve problems, but very often by doing so, we are creating new problems. But again, can we stop doing that?

你究竟过得好吗?
和老婆在百货公司走着,她正忙着看衣服. 这时我的手提响了起耒. 走了几步到商店门口,看了来电显示一眼. 咦!怎么会是他?他不是已经........
抬起头一看,他己经出现在我面前,手拿着电话和我对望.
“喂!离开了这些日子,过得还好吗?”我对着电话问道.
他的笑容依然充满童真,依然灿烂.
他没答话,蹦蹦跳跳的,穿过商店的玻璃门,消失了.
就在这时,老婆在背后拍拍我. 就这样我醒来了. 眼角有点湿.
今天是11月17日,原来这位朋友逝世巳一年了.虽然我知道他无法回答,心里仍然想问你一句,你究竟过得好吗?

中年的困惑
昨天朋友告诉我,根据运程,我明年会较顺利,但却犯桃花. 先不谈桃花,只说说运程
我一直都不相信这些,坚信人定胜天. 但人年纪越大,越觉得很多的事情,尽管己拼了全力,结果却不上不下. 信念也开始动摇,自信也面临冲击. 加上时间不留人,心中的不安随之而生.
工作上拼了十多年,总不能骗自己说很满足现况. 刚出来工作时还可以说要吸取经验,无所谓. 老板要我做的尽量做好,没说要做也给他做了. 几年下来,告诉自己多花点功夫充实自己,考个硕士回来,或许可以突围而出. 直到有个晚上,午夜梦迥,竟然要为了这个月多花了几百块而焦急,一时百般滋味涌上心头,有失望,有后悔,有焦虑, 有愤怒, 有恐惧. 一时之间也不知道他们源自那里,冲着谁而来. 又经历了一个失眠的夜.
很多事情都是事与愿违. 早些时候,真的很想努力去突破困局. 当有一份工在洽谈中,心里充满着希望. 到了最后关头,条件和理想相差什大， 忍痛拒绝了。
难道这就是步入中年的困惑？

谢谢你，朋友！
"送你一盏灯,点燃你的路,亮着你的前途.在你感到寒冷的时候,给你温暖.在你无助的时候,给你关怀.衷心的---祝愿你找到属于自己的天空."
幸亏有你这盏灯,看清楚了那条路. 原以为自己可以就此潇潇洒洒的挥挥衣袖. 经过多天的挣扎,原来真实的我,依然是凡夫一名.
扪心自问,那种工作,如果不是钱不够用,真不是我响往的.有时很痛恨自己,为什么自己的实力没有相等的狠心配搭?
如果真如你所说,"不要太贪心",我己找到自己的天空,一片凡人的天空. 天空下都是令人舒坦的人,事,物,还有你这位好朋友.

这是一篇很有趣的文章
这是一篇很有趣的文章, 由一位九岁的小孩所写. 我对他的丰富想像力真的很欣赏.
昨天, 我们到海边去游玩, 我们看到螃蟹. 我们就坐在椰树下抓了十只小螃蟹来烧烤。
我们带了米, 铁锅, 菜, 蛋和水果, 我们拾了木柴来烧火煮饭.
我们点了四次火都没点着, 还剩一枝火柴, 结果那枝火柴也掉进海里了. 我们完蛋了, 我们就很伤心.
突然我想到一个办法. 我们就打电话给火鸟, 叫它来喷火. 人人看到很惊呀, 心里想:”怎么火鸟会和我们一家人一起吃烤螃蟹, 那些人都吓晕了.
我们找到了一棵柳树, 便坐在树下吃水果. 到了半夜和火鸟握手, 拍照和请它签名. 最后我们一起说再见.
一个平凡的开头, 情节在在平述中来个大转弯, 令我措手不及. 更妙是是那火鸟的出现, 令一个处在绝境的人得救, 真是了不起. 但想一想，我们身历绝境时，火鸟会出现吗？

原来我好久没有笑了
好久好久没有动笔了, 不是没有东西写, 而是天天都有令人激动的事件, 心里蹦得紧紧的, 很辛苦. 后来决定暂时放下那些, 让自已快乐一下.
昨天收到朋友的一则短讯, 大意是说有一人向佛许愿, 要求佛佗给他快乐. 佛佗说四天, 这人说要春夏秋冬. 佛佗说只有三天, 那人要昨天今天和明天. 佛佗说只给两天, 那人要白天和晚上, 最后佛佗说只有一天, 那人说就每一天.
我得先对这位朋友说声谢谢. 因为要每一天都快乐, 就像神仙了.
看了那则短讯, 我也暂停了手上的工作, 沉思了一会儿. 我想追溯我上一次真正快乐是什么时候. 我原来已记不起来了. 那天有机会和一位同事闲聊了一会, 他关心的问我, 为什么这么不快乐. 我是愣了一下, 反问他为什么会这样想, 他说我好久没有笑了. 有一天晚上老婆孩子都睡了, 唯有我还是不能入睡. 习惯上又让思绪乱串. 老婆忽然醒来, 问我什么时候你可以笑一笑给她看.

怨声四起了
小龙女来了
小城多事了
海鲜馆满了
春色无边了
男人心动了
也不回家了
老婆知道了
告到马华了
警察要耒了
流雁飞走了
龙女告官了
脱衣羞死了
还上网去了
素沁气极了
事情闹大了
部长着急了
中国杯葛了
旅客不来了
奥玛说算了
不爽别来了
首相可恼了
说客解说了
抽奖也搞了
还以为好了
一切搞定了
调查庭开了
裸女出现了
这是怎么了
龙女变种了
搞到头昏了
原来搞错了
一年刚过了
普腾糟糕了
千万买进了
单车不做了
一元厂卖了
还说做对了
脸皮厚极了
三菱被踢了
伟根洽谈了
谈了又谈了
一会说好了
一会说没了
没有办法了
回去三菱了
马航亏损了
新龙头来了
才知头大了
烂摊子啃了
现金没有了
痛定思痛了
能卖的卖了
能裁的裁了
航线送人了
有人不爽了
说东说西了
东尼可乐了
新机场有了
公司赚钱了
新飞机买了
航线倍增了
兄弟平坐了
信心大大了
新航我来了
汽油真涨了
汽车价降了
利息却起了
路税减半了
通膨冲天了
计划出炉了
马币上升了
股市热闹了
张栋梁红了
身体生病了
光良开唱了
进去红馆了
Nicole 第一了
钱包满满了
龙熊不见了
跑去A1了
李宗伟起了
黄综翰落了
我巳经累了
没东西写了

2006 oledi?
Yes, it is 2006 oledi.
Every fortune telling book tells me that person born on the year of Horse will have a good year this year, and I was born in the year of horse!
In January, when I was having supper in Mc Donald in SS2, my whole family was chased by a crazy guy with an iron rod. My wife with children went separate way so that the crazy guy look for me instead. What a strategy and it worked. We managed to reach home safely, with the crazy guy last seen behind my matrix waving the iron rod, with a much resemblence of someone waving a kris! (You know who)
One morning in February, I was having a discussion with my colleague and we could not find a solution to the problem. I stepped away from my desk, went out to ask my GM. 5 minutes later, there was a commotion when I stepped back to my office. I was stunned when I saw what happen to my desk. The whole housing of the fluorecent lamp landed right on the chair and desk where I was sitting just minutes ago.
Last weekend, I was at my in law house when my wife called me to pick her up from Subang Parade. It was 9:30 at night. I pickup my car key, stepped out of the house and walked about 20 m towards my car. I heard some noises coming from the nearby bushes. Before I make out what it was, some dark color animal dashed towards me from the left. I backup a few steps, lost balance and fell. I yelled at the, what? a big size rockweller dog! I stared at him while he had his second thought whether to attack me. Moments later, he decided I am not his cup of tea and walked away with disappointment. I walked away with a sprained ankle and bruised palm.
So, I guess the fortune tellers are damn right about person born in the year of horse. Of all 3 occasions, I thank god for letting me walk away without injury.

It has been a while since.....
I have not been writing for a while. Life has been so still, same goes to the construction industry. Projects have been scarce, still desparately looking for a change in momentum.
A friend of mine announced his wedding in December. It came as a major talk of the week among close friends. Life is That boring.
Now back to this good friend of mine. He is such a character that nobody believe he will get married so "fast". He is the type that is always available when you need help, I mean "always" in its true sense. He is always a phone call away almost 24 hours a day. I can say that because I once called him at 4:00 am and asked him to come over to my house in suspicious of a break in. He come over without question. I called police and nobody picked up the phone.
He is such a resourceful guy, you can call him and ask him for advice on anything under the sun. You can call him to ask for contractor to renovate your house, look for "reliable" car salesman, get a good deal in car accessories, buy nice durians, remove blue screen on MS wondows, how to connect WIFI Accesspoint to the network, fix your ceiling fan himself, give you a lift to airport, source for a cheap handphone, even to find out which spa has the most beautiful girls, and so on.
We have seen him go out with a few girls and none of them last long. He spends so much time helping all the friends and hardly any free time for his girl friends. If he can't find a wife, we are partly to be blamed. Finally he found one and decided to tie the knot. Now everyone in the group ask, "Why so fast? Pregnant ah?". One single friend of ours even complains that he won't be able to go Karaoke because his kaki is getting married. I shared many of their thought and feeling but little do we realise that we are a group of selfish friends.
He has been such a helpful friend for years and we are so used to it. His marriage comes as a surprise to many, not because of the short notice, but a sudden vacuum it creates. It spells a potential situation where he has to be committed to his family and does not have time for all the friends.
But I am taking this apportunity to congratulate him, because like everyone in life, we need to grow up and progress to the next stage of life. He found one whom he is willing to share the rest of his life with , and that is no easy achievement. He will always shine on us as he is our Moon!

他是一个部长!？
他是一个部长?!
身为一个教育部的最高决策人,不可以为全国学校做决定,要校长和家长们谈谈,自己决定. 最要命的是,他还威胁到,如果校长做了坏的决定,后果得自己负责.
真是一个没种无能的家伙. 校长即使做了再大的错误决定,至少他们敢. 好过你占着高职做个缩头乌龟,占着粪坑不拉屎. 几个礼拜前还舞着马来武士刀要为民族斗争，原来也只会如此。
如此的教育部长,我们孩子教育还有希望吗?
