Post 'Chicken Dance', shown by MPDA's patient and member

So fast, it has been a week since our last visit to Malaysian Parkinson Disease Association.  I was organising pictures taken during the visit for archive, I saw this picture where a patient was eagerly to experience the dance but was limited to nerve freezing and movement.  However with the presence of large crowd, he overcame the physical challenges and shown us the dance movement he knows.

From his act of ‘never-give-up’, I truly blessed as it has taught me to do likewise no matter what would be the circumstances.  On top of that, with God, all things are possible.  Amen.

Have a blessed week ahead.

My first sharing as Mac user

When Azul, one of the founding members of Malaysia Mac User Group, or better known as MyMUG, first contacted me about being one of the speaker for upcoming MyMUG MacFest, meeting for Mac users once every two months, I was surprised and honored, simply I am still a rather ‘green’ Mac user.  However, I accepted the suggestion and take it as an experience of a life time.

I suggested to Azul maybe I could do a sharing on how I use Mac at work.  Thus that was how ‘Mac+Me’ came about.

Sharing session comprises of how Mac could be used in an environment where most counterparts are Windows users.

“Windows is being seen a large global system that everyone complies to.  However, one has a choice to choose.”

I just remember that I recorded with Voice Memo about few weeks ago a song that both Elijah and Ariel choose to sing during the Home Fellowship, of which they were the worship leaders, Give Thanks.

Sometimes I am not sure whether they could sing or not, but after listening to this clip, they could.  I can hear Inez wanted to get into the act too :)

Empire that is facing the sea

When client given us a choice to select the suitable venue to host the press conference, the Brunei counterpart suggested The Empire Hotel & Country Club and Sheraton Utama Hotel.  We approached both the hotels, until today, officially only Sheraton has replied, in fact almost instant response from Mathew of Sheraton.  Additional information required was also been addressed in the subsequent few e-mails and phone calls.  Bravo to Sheraton Utama Hotel.

So when Adiman of BARA suggested Harry and Suk Ling to visit The Empire Hotel & Country Club, my impression on Empire was rather on the slow side, since there is still no response on the request we sent.

However, the spectacular view and building structure immediately changed my perception on Empire.

The Royal Regalia Museum (Bangunan Alat Kebesaran Diraja)

When I first encountered passport expiry duration issue with AirAsia while trying to board on the flight to Brunei, I remember KT commented that the authority might not want to shock me that I would not want to return to my home country after knowing the price of the fuel.

The passport issue was overcame with the very fast response of Malaysian Immigration Department Subang, I renewed my passport in less than two hours and I was then on the next flight to Brunei with The Royale Brunei.  Also special thanks to Ravi and Michael for speedy response in helping me to secure the seat timely enough before the press conference in Brunei.

After the work was done, we received very warm hospitality from Brunei Adventure Recreation Association (BARA), that brought Harry, Suk Ling and I for some site seeing, of which we found out the price of the fuel in Brunei.  We were also told by Harry that in Myanmar, the cost to fill a tank of gas is USD1.

We seen the water village of which many speed boats zooming in very high speed.
