Baby Isaac was safely delivered at 10.55 am =) Thank you Jesus
Today I received a text message. From my brother. My brother is not a christian. But it seems he is looking for a miracle in his life too.
How good if he knows Jesus loves him so much =)
Jesus says He comes to give us life.
Jesus says He comes to give life abundantly.
Where thou art emptiness can be filled with your love Lord??
I find this life so meaningless if I have not found you. But why yet my life still felt so empty Lord.
How can i find the answer/ the manual/ the step by step way…which I’ve been all this while futilely finding. Foolishly I know there’s no manual out there for me to follow. The Bible I’ve been fasting for the longest of time I know. But I’m going to open it back today. And to read it as it intended to be.
If there is one thing that I hope Lord you will take away from me, it is my:
impatience
complacency
timidity
bad habits
laziness
unfocus
ego
..take it all away Lord.
Amen
HoChuWei!!!!!
For so many years I’ve never had close Malay friends that I can borak with. My primary school days was good as I had a lot of Malay friends and also partly because I can’t speak Cantonese back then and only uses Bahasa most of the time. When secondary school came, the segregation came. My school was predominantly Chinese and the Malays are few. But I’m thankful also because this is the period where I pick up and brush up my Cantonese. How can being a KL-ian and don’t know Cantonese. How to cari makan.
And now, since I work in my new company, most of my collegues are Malay and in my department I’m the only Chinese.
The funny thing was what happened last week. On Friday as all of the Muslims will go for their prayer during lunch time, I ajak some of my Chinese collegues for makan at Klang. Bak Kut Teh lar – at Mun Teng’s bro in law’s mum’s shop in Taman Berkeley.
Funnily, one of my malay collegue wanted to follow last minute. He wanted to ’skip’ the prayers and follow us. Then we thought ok lar, just go to some mamak or McD, but he says its ok. He says he has eaten heavy breakfast earlier. He insist on going..Haha…
He was with us when we were savouring the delightful Bak Kut Teh and he enjoyed the chinese tea. This is 1 Malaysia.
HoChuWei!!
This is the ‘team’… 1 malaysia
This is one of the interesting economics measure
| Hot Waitress Economic Index |
| What Does it Mean? An index that indicates the state of the economy by measuring the number of attractive people working as waiters/waitresses. According to the hot waitress index, the higher the number of good looking servers, the weaker the current state of the economy. It is assumed that attractive individuals do not tend to have trouble finding high-paying jobs during good economics times. During poor economic times, these jobs will be more difficult to find and therefore more attractive people will be forced to work in lower paying jobs such as being waiters/waitresses. |

I am not a reckless driver. I seldom and almost never curse at drivers on the road. But I do admit sometimes I drive dangerously. Impatiently. However, I want to thank God that in this 4 to 5 years since I started driving, there hasn’t been any major accidents that I’ve involved in. Nor I’ve been hit badly.
However, my bro did wreck my car before. It was during the time when I was part timing in his firm and he was on the driver’s seat. He rammed the side of my precious Iswara, ripping off the side bumper and part of back bumper also. Apedey….
The other incident was in Serdang when I was finding parking along the KFC road. This car bang me, but my car nothing. Seriously nothing. You call it the grace of God of not, it is really a miracle. Because the same Iswara that bang me, his car front bumper was all crushed and drop onto the floor. I pleaded nothing. But that smart friend of mine Mr. J nearly got into a fight when he insisted of getting some compensation for the trauma he has gone through. The guy who bang me is in the wrong anyway. Luckily police came and settled the thing.
There are also a few times when I turn suddenly during a traffic jam without looking at the rear mirror or signal, a motorcyclist nearly hit my car, or just miss by a few inches of my car. God knows what happened if they really hit me during those times.
There was also this once in Jalan Gasing after a heavy downpour when I was speeding down the road and then suddenly the car which is approx 100 meters of me brake. I saw, I brake, but the brake functioned, but my car tyre didn’t have the grip on the road. I swerve and swerve and for a few seconds thinking I will surely hit the car in front. But thank God that behind me there was no car, I was able took control of the car and just misses the car in front. Walioweh………….
I thank God for protecting me on the road.

Source: QS Quacquarelli Symonds (www.topuniversities.com) Where Art Thou - - - - - 230 University Malaya Malaysia University days was one of the best years of my life no doubt. One of the many funny incidents that happen during my uni days is when my alma mater was announced by the QS as among the 100 Best University in the world. I was proud of my university of course. Being among the 100 best!! The strange thing is that during that year, which is my first year, UM was celebrating its 100 years of achievement also, I mean their 100th anniversary. Slogan like UM is One (long before 1Malaysia), Cermerlang Gemilang Terbilang, and Kini UM Sudah Terbilang flooded in the campus with so much hype in the rankings. UM was ranked 80+. However reality creeps in of course. The VC who spearheaded all the hype was fired(sort of), all the banner’s was taken down, all the hype washed out as soon as the new rankings was out a year later. UM was among 200 best now. Haha…. Litlle that I know after that:
So, why go to Australia when Singapore’s University top some of this Australian universities.

Deloitte is top now!!!!
Vault.com has recently published its list of 40 Most Prestigious Accounting Firms for the yar 2009, the latest ranking which was started back in 2005.
The top companies were listed according to a survey conducted by a number of participating research companies, which questionnaires to employees in the selected firms to evaluate about each of the company’s rating.
The series of questions asked the respondent to assess the life of the employees in their current firm (or previous ones) and rate their company according to some specific prestige scores. More than 1,000 respondents participated in the survey every year.
Not surprisingly, the top four of the table were occupied by the Big 4 accounting firms, namely Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Ernst & Young (EY) and KPMG. But this is the first time in four years Deloitte has managed to secure top spot, displacing former number one, PwC into second place.
At 5th position, Grant Thornton is the highest ranked firm coming from the non-Big-4 group. The company provides tax services, advisory, consulting and assurance to privately-held entities and public companies across the world.
The rest of the top 10 are made
