Happy New Year 2013

The year is going to end in few more hours.

Mixed feelings. I'm getting one year older soon! *sob* 

Time travels in the speed of light. I can still remember vividly what I did last year December. Christmas caroling in Genting Highland. Two weeks of joyful memories and I really miss it. In this year December, I'm one of the survivors of the so-called 'the end of the world'. Yayyy! xD 

I had the most terrible month of the year. Nothing is smooth in the whole month I guess. I don't want to list out one by one here as I've gotten over them, and no point mentioning the bad things that have happened in the past. Life is short, so just let it go.

I believe everything will be better next year. 

I'm looking forward to meeting you, 2013.

Amway Moving Up Seminar (MUS)

After 'surviving' from the doomsday, I attended the event mentioned on 22nd and 23rd December. It was one of the best seminars that I had attended so far as all the guest speakers were all enthusiastic and inspiring.

To most of the people, seminars are considered boring events but that is not the case in Amway Moving Up Seminar. From a youth to a midget, from a businessman to a housewife, people from all walks of life had shared their backgrounds and how they succeeded in Amway business. There is no better motivation than real-life experiences. 

To summarise the two-day event, I will briefly state each speaker's background and the main points of what they had shared: 

1. 翁祥隆 (Founders Platinum, 24, Student)

  • Started Amway business at age of 21 
  • Gave up the opportunity to study overseas
  • Friends who laugh or look down on you, make them regret 
  • Life is short, make your parents proud as early as possible

2. 李小玲 (Executive Diamond, 36, Top INTI Graduates & Freelancers)

  • Extremely poor family background, started unskilled labour since 4 years old 
  • Independent, work multiple jobs to pay for living expenses and university fees
  • Started Amway business with her husband (farmer), in heavy debt condition 
  • Amway business is the best way to change your destiny, not complaining. 

3. P.W. Chew (Executive Diamond, 67, Interior Design Business Owner)

  • Stresses life quality really matters 
  • True value of Amway business - can achieve peace of mind
  • Have youthful lifestyle despite his age, played the highest skydiving in Australia!
  • Hard work should be recognised, not being charitied (被施舍)! 

4. Peter Lee (Crown Ambassador, 60, Owner of 13 Types of Businesses)

  • Be suave (潇洒) while doing Amway business, it's the fact that not everyone will appreciate and see the opportunity
  • If you are unsatisfied with current condition, find a way to change it instead of keep complaining.
  • You have to build your courage to do business
  • To succeed, you have to hungry for success and never give up!  

5. 马文觉 (Platinum DD, 22, Student)

  • Chinese educated, did not further studies in Taiwan due to unsatisfactory result 
  • All family members and friends threw a wet blanket on him for 7 months
  • While parents are working hard to raise the family, you are resting and spending their hard-earned money, is that right?
  • The speed of success must be much faster than the speed of parents' aging

6. Grace Wong (Diamond, 45, School Teacher)

  • The competition between people is not intelligence level, but concept thinking
  • In 21st century, your social relationship (network) = business asset = money! 
  • The ones who changed their concept thinking faster has become billionaires, e.g. Steve Jobs, Li Ka-Shing, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey etc
  • To earn passive income, you have to become business owner or investor, not employee or self-employee (Robert Kiyosaki's ESBI quadrant)  

7.  陈思莹 (Diamond, 44, Housewife) 

  • Started rubber tapping with parents since young 
  • Did not receive higher education due to poor family condition
  • Hated doing direct selling, but wanted to improve her lifestyle badly
  • The best gift for your family is indemnity, parents is honor, friends is hope

8. 骆翠玲 (Founders Plantinum, 30, Midget)

  • A persons suffer from dwarfism, most inspiring speaker of the seminar
  • Being looked down by others, including her family members too.  
  • Faces challenges ten times harder due to her physical size, but she never gives up.
  • If she can do it, we can do it too!  

9. 林海峰 (Executive Diamond, 44, Nutrition Master)

  • World's top nutritionist, currently working with Germany's INUS hospital
  • The best way to maintain health is through sufficient nutrition and thinking  
  • Whatever that has negative element, let it go. Negativity is the roots of most diseases. 
  • Don't conclude your life easily, so that it has lots of possibilities

I hope you have learnt something new. There is no end to learning. =)

一个可能改变你未来的故事

北极熊的故事:人生不能重来~

你听过北极熊的故事吗?在北极圈里,牠可是沒有什么天敌的,但是聪明的爱斯基摩人,却可不费吹灰之力逮捕牠。

爱斯基摩人是怎么办到的?这就是上帝给人的智慧吧!

他们杀一只海豹,把牠的血倒进一个水桶里,用一把两刃的匕首插在血液中央,因为气温太低,海豹血立即凝固,匕首就结在血中间,像一个超大型的冰棒,之后把冰棒倒出來,丟在雪原上就可以了。

北极熊有一个特性:嗜血如命,这就足以害死牠了。牠的鼻子特灵,可以在好几公里之外就嗅到血腥味,此時牠一定闻到爱斯基摩人丟在雪地上的冰棒,于是迅速趕來覓食,开始舔起血冰棒,舔着舔着,舌头渐渐麻痺,但是还是不愿意放弃这样的美食,忽然血的味道变好了。那是更新鲜的血,温热的血,于是牠越舔越起劲──原来那是牠自己的血。

事实是:牠舔到一个程度,已经舔到冰棒的中央部分,匕首画破了牠的舌头,血冒出來,但是牠的舌头早已麻木,所以沒有感觉,但是牠的鼻子还很敏感,知道新鲜的血來了,加紧舔食的结果就是,舌头伤的更深,血更多流失,通通吞下去自己的喉咙里。

最后是北极熊失血过多,休克晕厥过去,爱斯基摩人就走过去,几乎不必花力气,就可以轻松捕获牠。

在我们的生命中,追求幸福的过程里,我们也很可能是一只北极熊,如果你所抱持的是错误的观念和看法的话。

很多人,他们工作時间超长,因为他们认为事业上的成就,对他们的人生而言,是最重要的,他们赚了很多钱,真的很多,可是沒有時间去花,说实在的:即使他们有了時间,他們很有可能也不知道如何花这些钱。

他们虽然赚到了钱,却失去很多东西,可能是人生更重要的东西,他们的家人和他们极少互动,他们的儿女不认识他们(我的意思是他陪着孩子长大,花時间与孩子相处)他们沒玩过,沒休闲生活,也不曾帮助任何一个人。

有人在他们的事业高峰時,忽然心肌梗塞,失去生命,有人忽然中风,失去行动能力健康,有人有一天忽然发现家人全都离他而去。

美国一个周刊 TIME : 做过一个调查,针对世界百大企业的退休CEO,请他们填一份问卷,其中前十大企业的老板,对其中一个问题都有相同的答覆,这个问题是:

如果人生可以重新来过,你会希望什么是你绝对不能错过的?

这十个大老板都说了同一件事,即人生可以重來,他们一定不放过陪伴孩子一起成长。

很多人说他们一旦做決定就不会后悔,问题是他们做決定之前,沒想清楚,到最后还是后悔!

让我们现在就想清楚:你是那只大北极熊吗?

你正在吸自己的血,享受幸福的感觉吗?人生只有一次,过去了就不再回来,请不要当大北极熊,以生命为代价的事业,很可能最后是赚得全世界,却失去了你最宝贵的生命!

December 2012!

It's exam month. Will only finish my last paper on 19th. But exam is not going to stop me from I'm planning to do this month. I will do what I do best - cram and pass! xD

Everyone is talking about the end of the world at almost everywhere. So do I with my friends. I'm an optimistic person. I believe the world is not going to end. I haven't seen the world clearly and enough yet. 

If the world is really going to end, well, so what? There is nothing we can do and we will be vanished ALTOGETHER. So afraid no more as you will have lots of company. lol 

Whether the world ends or not, do appreciate your life and the loved ones around you. =)

Revisions, exams, caroling jobs, business meetings, appointments, family trip, seminars, nutrition classes, 21% bonus...... loads of things to do in the last month of the year. No time to think about the end of the world already. 

Life still goes on. Ciao~

A Wonderful Day

Ya, I know. It's been awhile since I last updated my blog. I wonder if this blog still have visitors. My stories are kinda boring and not as interesting as those famous bloggers, and I'm too busy to write a new post. =P

Well, today is definitely a good day.

While I'm stressing out at music composition (MIDI editing) this afternoon, all my groupmates suddenly turn up and together we make a SO-CALLED not-so-bad music. To others (especially very pro in music composing), our final composition might sound awful but who cares, we still have the great sense of accomplishment! After all, we aren't expert in music knowledge.

During the completion of the assignment, received a call from a friend saying that she has a business deal for me. I get a contact number from her and immediately I call the prospect. I manage to close the deal on-the-spot and get to know more new people behind the prospect. Business starts to grow a little and I'm really happy about it, because it means profit/bonus is coming to me very soon. LOL

After sending the stock and servicing the customer at night, I head to business centre for meeting even though it's already late. But I never miss the best part of the meeting which is the leadership talk. Diamond (a pin level in Amway) is sharing with us what kind of a mindset a successful entrepreneur should have when facing many challenges. After the talk, all of us are requested to stay back at the centre to learn how to dance 'Gangnam Style' for an upcoming event - Eagle Project Graduation. Everyone, yes, I just said EVERYONE in the centre, regardless of their age and status (many are professionals or high pin level), are all learning how to dance 'Gangnam Style'.

Everyone gets high and is having fun. Well, you might be surprise that Amway has this kind of stuff. A lot of people think that Amway is merely a direct selling company, or begging/persuade people to buy products. But it has something much more than that. This business is really great and I hope people around me are able to see Amway in a different way - always having fun and being happy! =)

Good night. I still have some shits to clean up for my assignments. xD

考试成绩出了!

上个学期的考试成绩已经出炉了。不懂为什么这次没有特别的紧张。可能是对这一次的成绩没有很高的期望,只希望全部及格就可以了。毕竟上个学期的功课和考试我没有表现得很好。

当看到成绩的时候,真的有点吓到。我的CGPA竟然被这一次的成绩提高了,心中有很难掩的喜悦。哈哈哈哈~

新的学期要到了,是时候准备收拾心情了。学业和安利事业都要兼顾!加油!

在为自己梦想和未来拼命的朋友,我们一起加油吧!晚安~

48 Hour Film Project!

这一次的semester break我真的过得非常的充实。参加了很多有意义的活动。每一天都早出晚归,搞到现在发热气了。xD

明天将会参加一个短片制作的比赛,Kuala Lumpur 48 Hour Film Project。这一个比赛要所有参赛的电影制作团队在48小时里面完成一个四到七分钟的短片。48小时里面要包括写剧本,拍摄,剪接,音乐设计,准备文件等等。所以可以想象到在比赛过程中的刺激和压力。

虽然我们还是没有什么经验的大专生,但希望可以通过这个比赛获益不浅和为大学争光!

我觉得我要去休息了。就先和大家update到这里。晚安!

Skating on Thin Ice

I screwed up big time.

My coursework mark for Film Studies is not satisfactory and I'm facing the possibility of failing the subject.   

I just hope that I will get a pass. Retake is a hell to students. And I really don't want to experience it. 

Cross my fingers for my finals. Adios.

现在的Gen-Y

年轻的我们时常都说‘我没有钱’和‘我没有时间’。是事实,还是借口,我们自己心里有数。

钱和时间都花在哪里?享受和娱乐。

当我们还在求学的时候,我们不懂什么叫‘安居思危’。从小到大,我们所拥有的一切都是父母给的。在马斯洛人类需求五层次理论的角度来看,父母给予了我们生理需要和安全需要。如果这些都被取走的话,我们连基本的生存能力都没有!

但有谁会想到这‘危机’可能会发生?没有。我们这一代活得太舒服,太舒服了。

其实外面有好多好多的机会和活动,能让我们充实自己的能力和智慧,甚至能为自己的未来铺后路。因为懒惰和要物质的享受,我们白白地把这些机会都浪费掉。

年轻是本钱,但不好好利用就一点都不值钱。这句话说得没错。

我是时候要好好地反省了。那你呢?

晚安。

Late for Registration

The night before we were all rushing our editing for PSA and short drama, but the next morning they have course registration for the next semester. My university management have never been smart for once. 

Slept at around 1am and set my alarm clock at 7.45am., but I woke up at 10am. Damn my stupid alarm clock! My first thought. Later I realised that the alarm clock did not malfunction, but I was sleeping like a pig and it got tired ringing. 

I was very exhausted, indeed. 

I am supposed to register four subjects for the next semester but now I can only register for two subjects. I guess I just have to wait until next semester to change my timetable at the office. 

After the today's screening for PSAs and short dramas, it will be a big hooray for me and I want to sleep like a hibernating bear.

Zero for Quiz

My handphone battery dies in the morning. Alarm clock does not ring and I wake up late.

I receive a call from my classmate saying that lecturer is giving a sudden quiz. When I reach the classroom, the quiz ends and I get ZERO. *sob* 

My heart aches a little because it's a true-or-false quiz and it make up 5 marks of the whole coursework. Film studies is a tough subject with 70% coursework, therefore I'm very concern about the quiz even though it is only 5 marks.  

Being late for a class has a price to pay. =(

Lesson learnt: Charge my handphone battery before sleep. Lol.  

Good night.

目标

因为上个月的业绩突破,中心的领导人要我在这个月的花红之夜上台做个分享。

我只希望妈妈那天会出席中心会议听我分享。我想她更了解做安利的价值和我现在学习做安利的环境,让她知道我为什么每个星期都那么坚持地去开会,我为什么要做安利。

虽然在安利里面我暂时还没有赚到很多钱, 但对一个还在就读大学的人,兼职一个月能赚几百块也是不错了。而已安利生意是长期的,生意额是可以通过时间和行动的累积而增长。倒时候,安利是会越做越轻松,但赚得钱会越来越多。

虽然学校的功课越来越繁忙,但这个月我还是要继续突破。今天有一位领导人报告说如果在八月(只有这个月)业绩上有突破的人,Peter Lee老师会请我们到他的豪宅(‘逆战’里面的豪宅是属于他的)吃豪华自助餐,然后身为马来西亚第一个安利皇冠大使的他会亲自颁奖来表扬和鼓励我们!

而在我还没有毕业之前,我要上21%!上DD!有了目标,才有实际的行动!

加油!=)

Power of Auntie

As usual, too many stuff to handle lately until I can't even take a good breath. 

But I'm excited and happy. Even though I'm busy with assignments and TV production workload, my part-time business is going well. You know what, my mum is actually involving in it actively! 

In previous months, my mum kept scolding and nagging me about getting involve in Amway. She always says things like "finish your studies first before doing Amway!", "don't ever ask me to do Amway, I will NEVER do it!", "why you always keep buying Amway products? Waste money!" and blah blah blah... 

This month, my mum has closed plenty of products. Some on her own, and some with my assistance. Her sudden enthusiasm has really surprised me. She is a totally different person from last month!   

Never underestimate the power of aunties. Their mouths are the best selling weapons.

Anyway, I just can't wait to share this great business opportunity to more people around me. I will do my best to make them understand that Amway can improve their lives and realise their dreams! 

Good night.

Addiction of Tetris

Recently I've addicted to Tetris Battle on Facebook again.

Zzzzz.  Good night.

A Confession Letter

To a group of people,

I'm writing to you guys, who has been important in my life since high school. If you can feel the spice in your heart, then yes, I'm exactly writing to you. 

I was wondering if you guys had forgotten or assumed that I was busy, I did not get invited to one of our gang birthday celebration. His birthday is just one week after mine. 

The fact that you all have NEVER celebrated my birthday before, I've already used to it, seriously. I knew all this while I did not treat you guys the way you all wanted, so I don't really expect 'extraordinary' treatments from you.  

If you guys are feeling guilty (maybe you are not) for not celebrating my birthday and thus not inviting me to the mentioned birthday celebration, you all are farking hurting me. 

Small-hearted, jealous, stupid, sensitive or whatever. You name it and call me that. I'm fine with it.   

I hope to see you all soon. You guys are still awesome in my heart.

PSA Production

Yesterday I overnight in Kepong for assignment purpose - my group members and I have to do shooting in Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) early in the morning.

Initially I asked everyone to go to bed early but we ended chit chatting until 3a.m. I didn't know that we could have so many topics to talk about. Well, the content of the conversation will remain a secret between five of us. =) 

Although we faced lots of challenges and obstacles in our production, but we learnt a lot and had loads of fun. Play is more than work during shooting. Photos will be uploaded soon as proof. xD 

Rainbow Production, I'm looking forward to more cooperation and 'gossip' session in the future. Haha. Hopefully our PSA can be done by next week. 

Going to bed now. Night.

21岁生日的感言

今天二十一岁了。感恩上帝的庇佑,让我平平安安过了21年。也要感谢妈妈,因为21年前的今天,是她受苦的日子。

今天在学校有人问我,为什么寿星公的样子好像不怎么开心。我没有很诚实地回答他/她。

可能是觉得今年的生日过得比较忙和累吧。每一年的生日都带着兴奋的心情,可是今年不一样-我觉得很平静,好像有点不在乎的感觉。二十一岁的生日对很多人来说是最要的日子,因为终于可以拿到‘金钥匙’了。所以我一直在想,为什么在所谓重要的日子我会过得那么...奇怪。不知道要怎样说。

在这里我要感谢一班大学的朋友。虽然大家都在忙功课和学校活动,可是他们都抽了一些时间,买蛋糕帮我庆祝。我真的很开心,也很感动。至少当我还在犹豫着21岁生日的意义的时候,他们出现了,间接地告诉我其实生日只要过得平安,简单,开心就可以了。根本不需要有太多的杂念。

最近喜欢上了一部MV,想送给所有帮我庆祝和祝福我的家人和朋友。希望通过这首歌可以带一份感动给你们。

NTV7金视奖工作坊

做人除了要感恩,还是要感恩。=)

感谢老师的推荐,让我有机会参加NTV7第一次举办的三天两夜金视奖的工作坊。真的获益不浅,而且也有机会见到本地出名的制作人,导演和演员。更不要说我们的住宿是波德申的六星级酒店!每一间房间都有游泳池!xD

也要感谢NTV7选中我去参加这项活动。从600多个的参加表格,NTV7只选了80位。可是后来有4个被选中的班员临时不舒服或放飞机,结果浪费了4个位子。非常的可惜!=(

这三天都过得很充实,节目都排得满满的,搞到大家都没有很好的休息和睡眠!那我先去睡了,有时间我会再update更多!

晚安。

六月的花红之夜

昨晚是我business centre的花红之夜。演讲嘉宾是一对夫妻,Justin Yaw和Iris Lee。他们是Team Power新的DD。Justin是一位专业的修理汽车员工。他说这行业虽然工钱很不错,但危险性很高。有一次在修理汽车时不小心弄伤眼睛,也有一次差点被汽车压到。

Iris是一位一间大公司的经理助手。她说因为有很好的工作表现,她时常都被公司升职。当老板要升她做经理的时候,她竟然拒绝了。原因是她发现每次被升职,她会越来越没有空闲的时间。


当这对夫妻看懂安利价值的时候,就开始发展这个事业。他们要做安利是为了经济保障和财务自由。


下一位演讲嘉宾是一个生意老板,陈国南(译音),去年上了Founder DD。我们centre的人都称他为‘师奶杀手’,因为他真的很会逗Auntie开心。他说在全国购物中心里面卖的服装,西装,腰带等等,一定有他批发的牌子。所以一个月的收入是非常可观。

当大家都在好奇为什么他会来做安利,他说其实传统生意没有很多自由,什么都要‘一脚踢’。公司的大小事务都要他来做和管理,所以压力非常的大。当他要开始做安利的时候,就在他的公司退股。认真发展这年后,他做了一个有钱又有闲的生意人。而且他也喜欢安利的免费旅行。虽然他老婆没有发展这个事业,可是旅行是两个人的机票,可以一起去。

听完演讲嘉宾的分享过后,是颁发花红的时候。这个是我们centre的传统,当我们上台拿我们花红的时候,会拿到一张信封。信封上会有Upline写的留言和鼓励性的话。我的信封上写着:


Jeffrey Wong,


安利是自己的生意,几时要成功,取决于自己的心意。寻找自己内心最大的动力,想想你来到这个环境的目的到底是什么。


身边的人可以影响你,但是不能帮你行动。我们说‘行运’,要‘行动’才有‘运’。而这不只是幸运而已,而是自己的命运!


我们现在所做的一切,正是为未来的准备!相信是坚持的原因,结果是坚持而得到。设定目标,让自己证明给自己看,顺便给别人看!加油!


目标:9% - 12% - 21% - DD - Langkawi - Hokkaido!


Terrence Lee

感谢保健人的这一封‘信’,也很感谢他介绍我这个伟大的事业。明年真的很想被安利邀请去北海道游玩,因为这个是我很久以前就想去游玩的地方。虽然要做到去旅行是有点难,可是我一定会尽最大的努力。就算明年去不到,以后还是有很多机会可以去旅行的。^^

我先睡个午觉。掰掰!

充实的日子

最近的我过得很充实,也很累。如果你问我这两个星期做了些什么东西,我应该会说不出,因为我已经不记得了。

上课,功课,工作,开会,佛堂办事,玩乐 - 通通都有。看来是时候要好好管理自己的时间,更重要的是要照顾自己的健康。那先暂时放下一些事务吧!

这个学期的功课很繁重,比last sem的功课来的更赶,更多。电视制作(Television Production I)会是这个学期最有挑战性的科目-公益广告和短剧制作。

先说公益广告。每位学生必须写出自己的idea,然后被选中的7个idea将会被分组进行制作。而被选中idea的学生将会领导每个制作。

很幸运的,我被选中。但更‘幸运’的是,原本要一起同组的朋友的idea也被老师选中了,所以我们要被逼分散。虽然我新的组有很多没有一起合作过的朋友,但我相信只要我们好好地配合,我们一定能做出最好的公益广告!

大家加油!

第一个用华语写的Post

今晚发生了一件让我很不愉快的事。

平时用英语写blog的我,突然间也写了华语字。看看是否用母语可以比较容易表达心中的不愉快。可是本人的华语实在是‘有限公司’,所以还是觉得很难表达。

我觉得我们的人实在是太好了。时常都给人家很多面子与支持,时常卖人情。可是当我们需要一些小小的帮忙的时候,所有被我们帮助过的人都会有一大堆的理由和借口去拒绝我们。已经发生很多次了,可能是我们前世欠他们的吧!

有些事情,自己和家人知道就好了。无论如何,我从今天开始一定要学会更加坚强和勇敢,去保护我的家人,让他们不会那么容易被人家利用。

明天八点的课,还是什么都不要想啦,直接去睡吧。

大家晚安。请期待我下个用华语写的post。哈哈~

Healthy Versus Unhealthy

I went to a club yesterday night to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was the first time I entered a club and I had an eye-opening experience. The DJ music is freaking awesome, except that the volume is too loud for the ears.

Seriously, I feel like going again but I know clubbing is not really healthy activity though. I should control the addiction to it. Furthermore, I don't have the budget for clubs. Luckily, those who attended the birthday party will be on the guest list, thus don't have to pay for the entrance fee. 

I'd better go to bed now. Tomorrow I have to wake up early to cycle with my friends in Malaysia Agriculture Park (Taman Pertanian), Shah Alam. Yeah, youngsters nowadays should get involved more in healthy activities like this to make themselves in the pink. 

Good night.

Year 2 Trimester 2

This new semester is going to be tough again.

Television Production I + Film Studies + International Advertising + Advertising Copywriting.

And I have no idea why am I taking Interpersonal Communication. 40% coursework and 60% final examination. If UTAR really wants its students to improve their communication skills, UTAR should have more speaking assessments rather than more written examination for this unit.

Good luck to myself and my coursemates.

Set my target once more - Dean's list. ^^

5 Years From Now

Bad news. My final semester result is not what I have expected. But that's OK. I don't really have big disappointment for it. I have already used to my university's 'extraordinary' marking standard.

I attended a workshop at Amway warehouse just now and bumped into a friend from the same university. We talked about the semester result and life values. At the end of our conversation, he told me that people should not bother to compare the exam results, because all these will become a past and eventually pointless as we move further in life. The thing that should be compared is whether you can live a better life than others and what you can make out of your life after graduation. 

How do I see myself in 5 years from now? What about 10 years? 20 years? 

Something to ponder about. But I'm sure I did not made a wrong choice in what I want to do. 

Good night.

Y2T1 Result

Semester final examination result is going to result this afternoon or evening.

Perturbed. Hope that the result is what I've expected.

UTAR lecturers, please have more mercy. lol 

I will make it, again. =) 

Pfffft

Back.

Exhausted.

Sunburnt.

Inflamed.

I'd better go to sleep now.

Night.

Redanggg!

Packing my luggage and I will be ready for Redang trip! 

The trip is organised by my ex-college mate. It's been awhile since I last met some of them. This trip will be more like a gathering to us. I really miss the sandy beaches and crystal clear sea water of Redang Island.  

The only bad thing about the trip is that I will need to take Air Asia alone because two friends of mine who should be taking the flight with me have 'fong fei kei' (stood up). But that's OK, I can experience the feeling of taking flight alone for the first time. 

Yeah, I'm trying to comfort myself. xD 

Anyway, I got to go. I'm a slow mo guy who needs hours to pack my stuff. And in few more hours later, I will be at my cousin's wedding dinner. AGAIN. 

So many people around me are desperate to get married lately. LOL.   

Adios.

Jeff Meets Foreigners

After delivering goods to my customer this early morning at PWTC, I went to Petaling Street for a walk before taking bus home. It's been awhile since I last shopped alone and went to China Town. It really feels good though.

While I was having Dry Pan Mee at my favourite food stall, a foreign guy pointed at my Pan Mee and told the hawker that he would like to have one. He smiled to me and said 'it looks good'. He requested the permission to sit with me after I asked him where him come from.

We started talking and I found out he is from Netherlands. Someone who decided to backpack after graduating from his university. He's been to Australia and Singapore before visiting Malaysia. He told me that few hours later, he would be on his way to Bali, Indonesia. We also talked about many other things - movies, travel, languages, culture and even the Bersih 3.0. LOL

Tall, good-looking and friendly guy. I was really surprised when he told me he is only 22 years old. Well, people from western Europe are mostly tall and mature-looking. I gave him my name card and he said he will add me in Facebook. If I happened to visit Netherlands or backpacking, he said I could look for him.

I've wanted to go backpacking since long time ago, but I have to at least complete my bachelor degree first before doing so. I know it is going to be really fun and exciting to have working holiday and travel around the world.

At a bus stop, I met another foreigner. She asked me whether I speak English and some questions about the bus. She is a middle-aged American who actually resides in Singapore. She was staying in Malaysia temporarily due to the expiry of her Singapore visa.

From the way she spoke, I know she is not very friendly. She just walked off when the bus came without saying 'bye' or 'thank you', but ask me another question before boarding the bus.

Today's meeting with different people had made me realise one very important thing: Instead of just staying at home facing computer screen and playing social networking all day, people should just go outside more and meet different real people.

Due to advancement in media technology, it has greatly affected the way we live and how we communicate with each other - less real conversations and glue our eyes more to smart phones, laptops and etc.

I really appreciate that the business have given me the opportunity to go outside and meet more different people. ;)

Amway - Pitfall or Opportunity?

When one hears the word 'direct selling' (DS), most people tend to have unreasonable fears and dislikes about it. While just perceiving it negatively, why not explore the good side of it as well? As students, we always complain about the hassles we faced in our studies and assignments, but we will never give up on studying. The reason? We've also looked at studies in an optimistic way - secure good jobs and our bright future.

According to World Foundation Direct Selling Association (WFDSA), direct selling is a good way to develop own business, to earn extra income, to meet and socialise with different people. It also offers flexible work schedules and most importantly, earnings are in proportion to efforts.

I coloured the words for a reason. You will find out at some point in your life, especially when you are venturing into the real working world.

Assumptions are always harmful. Many think that DS are meant for those who are not educated or illiterate. Fact: Just to name a few - doctors, engineers, managers, accountants, educators, scholars, investors and even millionaire business owners are involving actively in DS industry. The reason is simple: they're always looking for an opportunity to improve their lives.

Malaysia has about 700 DS companies. The biggest question lies in selecting the right company to cooperate with. Simple. Just consider 3 factors: company background, products & marketing plan. If you wanna reduce the trouble of doing research, I will definitely recommend Amway - the first DS company in Malaysia.

Background:

Originated in USA by Jewish (smartest humans, esp. in business), 53 years of history, operating in over 80 countries, $10.9 billion global sales in 2011, good global reputation and financially stable.

Latest update - Amway is the only DS company who can be part of blue-chip share (this type of share is extremely expensive) and is being claimed that it is not a DS company but a manufacturing company. Source from Sin Chew Daily - click here.

Products:

Produced >400 items, environment friendly, safe, effective, economical (cost-effective), 100% satisfaction guarantee, patented. Click here.

Marketing Plan:

20 types income, flexible (can decide your income level), not pyramid selling i.e. fair system, rewarding & proven, patented as well.

Now ask yourself,

Do you want to decide how much you want to earn?
Do you want more quality time with your family?
Do you want extraordinary freedom?
Do you want financial security for your future?
Do you want travel in style around the world for free?
Do you want to help people to find products and opportunities that can make their lives better and easier?

If you say 'yes' to any of the question above, Amway will be the right business for you. It is an opportunity worth pursuing, and you will lose nothing for looking at an opportunity.

Perhaps to some of you, today is not a right time for change. That's OK. Sometimes is just about timing and readiness. Do check out Amway2u.com, talk to an Amway business owner (I will be the right person, lol) and review it all again a little while. Always open yourself to opportunities as they don't come all the time. And remember, you are able to take control of your future.

People from all ages and different backgrounds have succeeded in Amway business. It is an opportunity for all. ANYONE can do it. Doing Amway is actually not as difficult as we think. Watch:



I'm going to bed. Night peeps.

War!

Done my practical assessment for Video Editing this afternoon. I don't know how my lecturer will grade on our teaser, but I think we did a great job!

Although the ending part is a bit awkward, but we have good teamwork and time management. Cross my fingers to hope for good grade, despite it's kinda hard to score for this unit.

Four exams paper to go and I'm totally done with Year 2 Trimester 1.

Registration for next trimester's subjects will be tomorrow at 1pm.

Let's prepare for war.

Animals Do Have Emotions

His wife is seriously injured. She was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road.

He brought her food and tended to her with love and compassion.

He brought her food again but was shocked to find her dead.

He tried to move her, a rarely-seen effort for swallows. Aware that his mate is dead, he cries with adoring love. He stood beside her, saddened by her death.

People cried after seeing these pictures when they were published in the leading newspaper in France. All copies of the paper were sold out on the day the pictures were released.

And many people think animals don't have emotions.

全力以赴!(Never Give Up!)

别管自己的条件够不够,
只要有梦想就要尽最大的努力。
在一场国际性的花样滑冰比赛中,
即使不小心跌倒了,
也要继续跳,继续跳,掉到掌声响起!

全力以赴,善尽最大的努力!=D



放弃是人生最容易做到的事,重点是你还有那个勇气再去挑战吗?

30th of March

Tomorrow is the last day of March. What the fark? O.o

And there are lots of tasks and work I have not completed. Mid terms and practical assessments for Video Editing is coming very soon. Oops.

By the way, The Hunger Games directed by Gary Ross is a damn awesome movie. It impressed me like how Inception did. But Inception still remains the top on my favourite movie list. XD

I got to go. Night peeps.

Forgetful, Again.

I almost forgot I had this blog. LOL.

This cannot be happening. I'm starting to be very forgetful at things. I've tried to jot stuff down on sticky notes and my planner, but it just won't work. It is because I will never look at them!

I'd better continue my current work before I forget it.

Ciao.

Update on March

Been really busy lately.

Scriptwriting, advertising campaign, literature reviews, video editing, presentations, business centre meetings, Eagle Project, searching part-time tuition jobs....

I have learnt how to spend my time more meaningfully. Less Facebook and online games. I think it's really a good thing for me.

Concentration is also the key.

Youth is capital, but is worthless if you do not use it well.

I appreciate whatever is happening to me right now. Thanks.

Later.

Mindset

An inspirational story that I would like to share with you all:

As my friend was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

"Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free." My friend was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? So make an attempt to grow further. Why shouldn't we try it again?

Your attempt may fail, but never fail to make an attempt and choose not to accept the false boundaries and limitations created by the past.

105th Day



I have been immersing in this song lately. I have listened it over and over again without feeling bored.

I feel romantic, lively, harmony and cheerful at the same time while listening to 105th Day (第105天). A wonderful masterpiece by pianoboy from Taiwan. Not just 105th Day, he have also composed lots of other lovely piano music.

I have started to learn playing the song few days ago. After stop learning piano for few years, I hope it is not difficult for me to learn playing the whole score.

I will make it. =)

Money Money Hom!


Really busy with school work and some business lately. Can't even catch some breathe to update my blog.

Anyway, I'm quite broke recently. People owe me money, at the same time, I'm owing other people's money.

Let's forget about money, because it hurts feelings. I'll settle it later.

Good night peeps.

Something about Flashlight

I got this information from Facebook:

Can ELECTRICITY pass through the flashlight of a digital camera to your body? Yes, it is 100% true!

This is a true incidence reported of a boy aged 19, who was studying in 1st year of engineering, who died in Keshvani Hospital, Mumbai. He was admitted in the Hospital as a burned patient.

Reason? This boy had gone to Amravati (a place located in State of Maharashtra) on a study tour, on their return they were waiting at the railway station to catch the train. Many of them started taking pictures of their friends using mobile phones and digital cameras.

One of them complained that, he was unable to capture the full group of friends in one frame in the Digicam. This boy moved away to a distance to get the whole group. He failed to notice that at an angle above his head, 40,000 volts electrical line was passing through.

As soon as he clicked the digital camera, 40,000 volt current passed through the camera flash light to his camera and then from his camera to his fingers and to his body.

All this happened within a fraction of a second. His body was half burned. They arranged for an ambulance and his burned body was brought to Keshavani Hospital, Mumbai. For one and half days, he was conscious and talking. Doctors did not have much hopes as there was a lot of complex issues in his body. He passed away later.

Now, how many of us are aware about these technical threats & dangers? Even if we are, how many of us are adhering? Now should we call ourselves as educated and knowledgeable people?

▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼

*Please avoid mobile phones on petrol outlets.* Please avoid talking on mobile phones while driving.* Change that "Chalta Hai Yaar Attitude".* Please avoid talking on mobile phones while kept in charging mode without disconnecting from wall socket.* Please do not keep mobile phones on your bed while charging and / on wooden furniture.* Avoid using mobile phones / Digital cameras near high voltage electrical lines like in railway stations and avoid using flash.

Share the information to whom you care!

Habits That Makes You Sick


1. Don't sleep enough.

Studies show that sleep too little will cause low levels of leptin (hormone which helps keep appetite under control). A person might overeat the next day if he/she sleeps too little. Production of chemicals in the immune system that defend your body against germs will shut down. Sleep deprivation also can turn up levels of chronic inflammation, which increases the risk for heart attacks, strokes, osteoporosis and etc.

2. Skip breakfast.

There's a high shortage of glucose in your bloodstream after a long night's rest. If you don't eat breakfast and head out the door with low blood sugar, your brains will not operate at full speed as they need steady flow of blood sugar to run effectively. You may also feel less sharp-witted.

3. Don't exercise.

Being idle for the whole day will cause your body converts unused sugar to fats. Fat cells around the waistline produce chemicals that cause insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation, which promotes heart diseases and other conditions. High blood sugar levels damage nerves and blood cells, cause diabetes complications such as blindness and kidney disease.

4. Hold grudges.

Staying angry for a long time is terrible for your health. It raises blood sugar level and blood pressure, damage your heart and produces endothelin (trigger heart attacks by causing plaques in the arteries). Other research has found that intense, sustained anger can actually cause an arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, which can stop your ticker from ticking permanently.

Take good care of yourself folks. Good night. =)

RM200 Book Voucher!

Got my RM200 book voucher yesterday from the Faculty General Office, courtesy of the government.

Due to Borders' damn-super-awesome promotions, I went to The Gardens' Borders today and spent RM100 book vouchers. For every RM100 book vouchers spent, one is entitled to get a Borders membership card (two supplementary cards provided), a Starbucks tall-sized beverage (it's LIMITED by the way) for FREE! The vouchers can also be used with discounts and promotions.

HOWEVER, the vouchers are NOT applicable for magazines and stationery! Which I wanted to get at the first place. Well, every good thing always has a price to pay. =P

With RM100 book vouchers, I've bought two books:

The Rules of Life (2nd Edition) by Richard Templar, who has written several best selling self-development books. He has 30 years of experience in the business world.

Believe: Creating Unlimited Possibilities in Life (相信:创造生命中的无限可能)by Lee Kim Soon (李金城), who is a successful Amway businessman.

Not forgetting the Starbucks:

I chose Green Tea Frappuccino Ice Blended! XD

Now I have to think of where and how to spend my next RM100 book voucher. =P

Take care people.

New Year's Movies

Watched two awesome movies during the New Year period.



The lives of several couples and singles in New York intertwine over the course of New Year's Eve. It is a heartwarming movie with some great humours in it. The movie teaches us to appreciate people around us and celebrate events together with them. By the way, I just can't understand why the movie has got such a low rating - 5.2/10.



Sherlock Holmes is back! Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson join forces to outwit and bring down their fiercest adversary, Professor Moriarty. Part 2 has more creativity and funny elements compare to Part 1. The rating of the movie is higher than the previous one.
