Lefty!

Hey, I only realised Mr. Obama is a lefty too. Wow!!!

I rest my case. Full stop.

History maker

When US newly elected President Barack Obama take the oath of office, I missed the much awaited inauguration ceremony which available live on TV. Too tired after driving 6 hours all the ways from Lumut back to Kajang (traffic was very bad that day in KL)

It is indeed a new chapter of history written not only in US nation but also undoubtedly a history that impacting the rest of the world. Millions of soul around the world watch the process beside the citizen of US.

Indeed change has come! I felt the momentum will be picking up from now on from what Mr. Obama have started.

From the impossible to possible. God has trully demonstrated that nothing is impossible if we preservere. Surely we should not loose hope for our beloved country Malaysia for the wave of change to come.

Leave of absence

Some of you must have been thinking where and why on earth such a long absence. No worry my family and I are very much fine. There were so much going on for the last one week since my last post.

First I went to Cambodia from 14 - 16 Jan for work trip. Then my family and I when to Pangkor Laut Resort from 18 - 20 Jan being Soo Pei's office company trip. Afterwhich very much busy with works at the office to prepare for the long Chinese New Year festival break.

It is sure a lot of travelling for that one week. And being at places from one end to another. Am sure glad to be back blogging. Next few days will be busy again celebrating the incoming Lunar Ox year. That's remind me, I have already reached my 3rd circle of Ox year. You see when I was born 36 years ago, it was Ox year. The Chinese Zodiac repeat every 12 years. Mooooo..........

Out of this world DSLR!!!

As I have just learned today from my Mind Mapping course, a child's brain (kindergarden level) can achieved 95% creativity compares to any age range. Being a daddy, I see it manifesting in my son, Ivan's imagination.

I guess it must been the daddy influence (love of photography), Ivan have develop his own as well. More than that.......he developed his very own DSLR camera! It's really no joke about it. See by your self. We didn't teach him. He must have been observing a lot since there is a lot of photographers with DSLR around anyway (except mine.....which is a pro-consumer DSLR). He combine several different type of his toy to made one CAMERA. Maybe should protect and patent his invention for property intelligent right :)

Really blow your mine away on how their imagination can really be.

Full of fun

Today and tomorrow, the Head of Departments and directors from my office is attending a 2 days course on Mind Mapping at IOI Merriott Hotel, Putrajaya.

From the beginning I know the course would be an interesting one since it cover the subject I am interesting in. In fact I have bought a book last year on Mind Mapping by Tony Buzan.....unfortunately have not finish it yet. So, a bonus to me to have a crashed course on the subject matter and reading about it. The course turns out more than what I expected. It's fun!!!

First the instructor/couch (Mr. KC Liew), is a great guy......both funny and easy going. Second, guess what he made all of us learn to juggle. Yes, I mean like the circus clown juggling with 3 balls. He literally gave each of us 3 small balls to do it. Every one is on it even our directors, MD and top managements. And every one is having fun!!!

Nevertheless we did learn a great deal about our brain. And how to train our mind to think, work and function better. I am looking forward for tomorrow on what will install for us.

On schedule

This round of schedule planning was very much improved compared to the last two round that I have been through. At least no last minute ticket booking and postponing of dates. We booked the tickets almost a week earlier from the actual flight date.

I also have improved my medical supplies. Added with flu tablets, diarrhea tablets, dehydration solution, plasters for now. Just in case la..... after last 'lao sai' experience.

So, I will not be round town next week from 14th to 16th Jan. The next trip should be right after Chinese New Year Chap Goh Mei (15th day of CNY.....the last day of CNY).

By the way, Cambodian don't celebrate CNY. Thus there were no public holiday for it.
