Katy Perry posed for Teenage Dream
I first heard about Katy Perry last year, while running on the treadmill at you know where. Her music videos were playing back and forth. However, I just left her music to that, as I was pretty much Kris Allen, R.E.M., Fleet Foxes that time. Katy Perry’s song came back to me again when our sons attended a hip hop dance practice and one of the song used (I was not there, but Retna told me) was California Gurls. So, being a concern father, I listened to this album.

Retna, for two years has been a terribly loyal user of iPhones. From iPhone 2G, then 3G. The earlier was forced to retired earlier after the former Indonesian maid wrapped it up and washed it in washing machine. Full cycle completed, same faith for the phone – reaching the end of its life span.
When asked why she is not thinking about other phone, her reply, “iPhone is just so simple to use. No learning curve. It just works.”
However, things changed when she began to receive more e-mails, tweeting and also being on Facebook, she told me iPhone 3G is simply not up to the level that she would like it to be. There started the hunt for replacement. iPhone 4 has been antenna as major stumbling block, so to have a touch screen phone, yet able to do what she wants, BlackBerry Storm 2 or 9550.

We first bought these toothbrush holders for our sons about a year plus ago at Sunway Pyramid. Sons picked the puppy design. Well, we just worked with the distributor of Flipper, toothbrush holder, Living Wing Sdn Bhd. So, would like to introduce these to you.
Flipper, a charmingly quirky yet innovatively functional toothbrush protector cum holder by ORCA has introduced three new design series – the BIG EYE, OZY Joy and MIRA. Joining their existing Animo Jr. range from the kids series, Flipper redefined the twice daily routine of oral care to a more hygienic, stylish and enjoyable experience for everyone and anyone.

Playing with fire?
It is a meaningful day for our nation. 53 years of independence and after watching Biography Mahathir on ASTRO History channel two nights ago, our country came a long way till today’s 1Malaysia.
I have always heard from my parents and grandparents about what they have gone through during the well known May 13, it was the day before my parents wedding reception, it was attended by all relatives, friends and neighbors of different races in Bukit Mertajam. Our grandparents informed us that they were being protected and taken care by the neighbors, many of whom are Malays. By the way, our grandparents were operator and owner of grocery store in Bukit Mertajam.
Anyway, that was the past. I have been to secondary school of which we were occasionally ill-treated by a particular principal, of which later my father visited the school just to cross-check what I have said have been true. But guess what, because of the way how we have been brought up by our parents and grandparents, we love all friends from different races and ethnic groups. That is one major advantage in tasting the great food from different culture (smile).
My daily devotion journey begin today with the book of Ecclesiastes. The opening in verse 2:-
Meaningless! Meaningless!”
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”
Thanks Alex for taking this nice portrait
This morning devotion, I read Proverbs 31. It has The Wife of Noble Character. While I was reading all the characters, I think upon my dear wife – Retna Vijayan. God has given me a wife with so many things as described in the Proverbs.
I shall take this blog entry to thank Retna for being such a great wife. She is able to handle my weird mood, my bad temper which now sons occasionally caught on, and many others.
Thank you God for my wife! I love Retna!
Happy Merdeka day and happy holiday to many!
Our beloved Citroen
While communicating with Brooklands Motors personnel, once again we have been shocked by the way they have miscommunicated important information to the buyers, like us.
The details on discussion between us and the distributor are still on going, so will not be able to share more at this moment.
It is a great car with lots of great and useful features in safety, comfort as well as fuel consumption, but the local distributor service remains otherwise.
After reading this article in TIME, I pray God will make me another Victor Muller.
Elijah was feeding grandmother the birthday cake (one of Vijayan's family tradition)
Our mother came back from Sri Lanka yesterday after a ten days sort fo backpacking, while attending her relative children wedding held in Columbo. The wedding reception was attended some 800 guests from around the world.
According to mum, the transportation and accommodation were rather expensive in Sri Lanka, especially Columbo, so they stayed in different places, while backpacking with their luggage.
One of our sons in his 'moody' mood
Something we always teach our sons, even ourselves too. In some situation when we are moving into very funny mood (angry, feel not right etc), that is the time to be watchful for what we might do that could lead to some consequences, which could be good, or sometimes, bad.
I know quite often it is good to let out the mood, but, it simply destroy the moment with the people around you. Could be family members, friends or colleagues, or even clients. Temper, is one thing that many finds it hard to manage. In the past few weeks, I have seen myself loosing temper with family, work or even with church or, God. Is temper bad? Or bad temper is not good?
