We had a tough 2009, where the world economy going down hill at the first 2 quarters of the year. Praise the Lord for sustaining us, as we almost not able to pay for our house and car at that time. And we delayed the purchased of Citroen. Very much we like it, but much [...]
When first received call from Lincoln, regional coordinator, region 2A of FGA Home Fellowship about developing a campaign for 2011 HF Leadership Retreat, I was telling Retna, “Since it is compulsory, why need a campaign. Kind of wasting time to communicate this.” Well, actually a campaign is still required to make sure the retreat is [...]
This entry seems rather old Elijah and Ariel, besides the Transformer collection from aunties, they received the scooter – airsurfer from their parents this year. Pretty good physical riding for them. Although one of the sons was almost knocked by pilot neighbor that was rushing for the idiotic football game.
Praise the Lord. Jackie was scheduled for a surgery this morning. When we sent her to the vet, she was anxious, and refused to leave the car. Well, by the time she went into the vet’s room, she forgot what she came here for. The vet was very kind and gentle to her, she likes [...]
Finally, the next door house that has been vacant for years, is sold. The owner has brought in the contractor to begin the renovation. The workers are Indonesian, and many of them look just like any other Indonesian, nothing attractive nor good looking. While we thought nothing is going on, we have seen our Cambodian [...]
Of many things that not so good that our sons have picked up from me, one thing I am glad that they really had from me and Retna – the love of reading. Although sometimes it is hard to control their time on computer, Nintendo Wii and iPod Touch, they still spend quite a lot [...]
While in Phuket, one thing we noticed a huge difference is the timing. Maybe we are different time zone, but when the tour agency for the Phi Phi Island trip mentioned five minutes, it was actually half an hour. Other than the Westin Airport transfers which were very on time, the rest of the timing [...]
After the very troubling and disappointing Island trip, we had our next day to stay in the hotel. Our sons told us, “Dad & mom, we could just stay here, enjoy ourselves, no need to pay and go outside.” It makes some much sense, although we were kind of not wise in signing up the [...]
Before leaving for Phuket, we Google for places to visit. This also means we have limited budget to spend on this trip, so not to burn big holes in our pocket afterward. Found this tour agency called JC Tour, in TripAdvisor, so contacted the owner of the company and had the trip arranged. For the [...]

This time round, we met at Cantina@KD, where the first MobileFest being organised. The first MobileFest, I arrived there after lunch. This time round, I decided to reach Cantina@KD [...]
Last night home fellowship, we went with great expectation as we have not seen each other for a week, many would have a lot to share about how God has touched their lives, as well as the great experience of everyone’s encounter with God. We received a news that I realised some day it would [...]
While our sons were about four, we sent them few times in a year to visit their grandmother in Johor Bahru. They will travel alone via MAS, as AirAsia does not take in minor travel unaccompanied. First time when our sons went to Johor Bahru, we did not get the return ticket. As we thought [...]
My first smartphone was Palm Tungsten W and Retna was Plam Treo600. We skipped 650 and went to Treo680 later, of which still one of my favorite smartphone till date. Even though the interface compares to the current OS now is pretty low, but it served the purpose of multitasking at that time. I could [...]
Although it took some weeks for it to arrive. But seems to worth the wait. After the recent MobileFest meet held at KL Convention Centre, I spoke to Retna about trying the webOS, she said why not. And I immediately made an order online at Expansys. The price fluctuates daily according to the currency exchange. [...]
Both sons have the natural born reading capability, mainly they might have seen their parents since they were very young that reading newspapers are regular in parents’ daily work. Today, both our sons love to read books, and of course the newspapers. They have began telling and updating my mother about news of the day [...]
While not feeling to work at home, recorded this instead. Thanks to Ariel for some back ground voice, he found out about it when he heard me singing.
Many have seen the advertisement (on your right) in NST Car Bikes and Trucks as well as Oriental Daily, and many have contacted me through my blog asking whether I have problems with the cars before they are thinking about it. You came to the right place, this blog entry is for you. First of [...]
The night before they were born, Retna and I had some really nice porridge in Taman Desa (that was where we settled after married). Retna felt the sons were on their way. She told this which I remember very well, “Take me to the very nice porridge in Taman Danau Desa. I want to eat [...]
After breakfast on Wednesday morning, we brought the entire family to Tugu Negara (National Monument), situated next to the Malaysian Parliament building. It was quite an experience as this is one place where my parents have brought us to when I was four, my first year in Kuala Lumpur, after shifted from Bukit Mertajam, after [...]
All shopping centres, hypermarkets, should seriously consider not to provide kids shopping cart. One kid ran over our Cambodian helper toes today, which we were at TESCO Puchong this evening. Guess what, the parents just protect the boy and walked off, with no apology. I confronted the grandmother as the father and mother (chicken out) [...]
The MobileFest (@MyMobileFest) meet @GoMobile was took place on Saturday, November 13, 2010. Thanks to Bernard of Mobile World and ComTechAsia, the organiser of GoMobile, for hosting us at the activity room. The expo is pretty busy especially with many deals going on from various telcos and some showcase of mobile solutions like TV via [...]
I remember my parents told me this, “You will know who is your friend when the trouble comes.” My father said that to me while he recovered from his business venture which just gone down. Later in life, I heard from him again, “No matter what happens, never forsake the family. Be it good times [...]
1Malaysia Hand Hygiene Month was extended to the folks at Semasa Sentral or better known as KL Sentral on the end of October. The hand hygiene workshop was organised by Antabax, presented by Hospital Sungai Buloh and attended by the team from KL Sentral and tenants. Very informative session as the attendees learn about importance [...]
Great initiative by Retna for bringing up the old photographs of her parents to show to the children during the day two of Diwali. Beside seeing how my parents in law look like while they just got married, I also got to see how Retna looks like with her sari, which she has not been [...]
In preparing for the trip to Johor Bahru, besides getting ourselves the right outfits, we planned our journey so won’t be caught in the heavy traffic. Thank God that with our Citroen Grand C4 Picasso, it does the job quiet well. We went through the states smoothly with wonderful long distance drive. Just that some [...]
