Guess the mood to enjoy this day....is better spend with love ones in a quiet way. Out of respect to the pain and suffering to the last Sunday tsunami victims. I supported our government's view on this....calm or tone down the "fun" during the countdown.
Well done!!! to the PM and those who think of this. A kind act no less... Just to see we understand the whole impact of the tsunami even it did not hit us in Singapore, there were some S'poreans who lost their lives too.
Let's us remember the victims....say a simple prayer for them when you go to the temple, church, mosque or any praying area/house/centre.
Wish all a happy, safe, healthy and fruitful 2005.

Tsunami....six days after.
Looking at the news....makes me cry but from the suffering and pain, there are good things people do. Stop fighting as in Aceh and Sri Lanka, that in it's self is a good thing. As well as from the thousand upon thousand of people doing their best to help the victims. That is heart warming.
I saw it with my own eyes...that this event helps to move people to donate time, money and supplies. At the local Sri Lanka temple at St Michael Road, the crowd of local chinese helping out at the Sri Lanka temple is outstanding example. At times like this, there is no race, color and religion but people just get on their hand and legs to help. Young, old, male and female....all helped.
From the news in BBC, CNN and local channels....people just help. At the scene of the tsunami, people helped to clear the rubbish, burnt the dead bodies, clean up the mess, giving out the supplies, cooking and caring for the victims. So heart-warming.....if only this will and can continue the world will be a better place and the victims who lost their lifes didn't die in vain. Let's us pray for this and also to the victims' soul.

What a time for the tsunami?
Man! this is the time for fun and excitement especially during the X'mas and the coming new year period approching. And now this happened!!! so bad timing....guess there is no good or bad timing for death to catch up with the people. Whether you or me....still the same, just got to live life to the fullest and with no regret.
Now for the living....let's pray for the dead and wounded, the widowed and orphaned. At the mean time to do our best to help by donating whatever you can. Materials, time or money. Even a simple prayer goes a long way for those who has none to give or to offer.

One thing I learned from this....sad event.
No matter how rich or poor, white or black or brown, Christian, Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist, young or old and male or female, the cry from the pain of losing someone dear and close is the same. Very sad to bear or to hear....
This moves me to try to help by getting friends and relatives to donate their used clothing or anything that can help the victims. I go around to collect from those who has no transport or don't know where they can donate these items to and to send all the packages to the Sri Lanka and Burmese temples. They are collecting these items and will give them to the affected victims in their home countries. Those who have money can donate money and people like me....can do with donation of used clothing, water purifiers and some money. Hehehe I am dead bloke this time of the month...still have not receive my bonus and pay. And I had paid for my credit card payments which I over stretched during my trip to China. Over spent so suffer. hehehe! Plus my insurance payment and borrow some money to my friend who badly need it. Anyway still give some as donations....eating maggi mee hahaha. Mother Thersa's logic for donation....give till it hurts then you understand the purpose of it used for. Must hurt then it counts. Yes! it hurts me to give so little hehehe....I can do better but I give 4 sets of water purifiers at $88/set. I will give more later once I have my bonus and pay at the end of the month.

Tsunami....man! I thought it a japanese food.
Man! didn't quite know these things and it is worst than the terrorist attack of 911 and Bali combined. Who would have think that this thing can caused so much deaths and suffering. My heart goes out to those who had suffered one way or the other. In one minute, the lifes of so many people changed for the worst. Suddenly so many widows, widowers and orphans. Rich, poor, young, old, female or male....none is spared when the tide hits. The force of nature, the act of god or whatever name and ways you can called this moment...it does not make a different. So it is a sad day for many people.
Now....understand that the Sri Lanka and the Burmese temples are asking for donations be it old clothing, food stuffs, anything that can help the victims or money. I will do my part with clothing and water purifers. These water purifers will help to give clean water to these people. I still have about 150 units or sets. I will divide these up and donates accordingly. I losed about 10K in this venture....guess now is the best tme to do something especially when I am damn tight in the pocket at the present moment. School books and uniforms.
I remembered a saying from Mother Theresa....for donation, must donate till you feel the pain. Yes! by doing this of donating the entire stock.....the nagging from my wife and sister will be deafening. Still believe I do the right thing to give away these items then keeping all these in the storeroom. I can closed up the company too and bring the whole venture to a close then to continue losing money all the times. ( paid for company address, storage and taxs ) and spending time to do the annual accounting even when losing money.
So guess I do the right and correct thing.

Fortune teller
Hahaha....since I went to see them, I will take the prediction with a pinch of salt. No harm to hear what they said. Guess I must be desparate hehehe.
I followed his advise...guess what? I kena $500 when I remembered that he told me to watch out when friends or relatives invite to wedding. So I just buy 1 big after looking at the address on the card. Not bad....enough to pay for the week's 4D plus take back about $140. Can't be too choosey.
Now for his second prediction....another small luck around the same time.

Saturday..........X'mas day
Well.....it is X'mas day but I am still working. Some of the girls did not turn up for work today will be dealt with come next week. Guess, everything boil down to attitude. Whether or not to work....a choice's issue here.
Told my girls at work....poor has mainly bad attitude towards life and usually prefer the easy way out in life. The soft option....when holiday, they feel like having holiday mood too even with a empty pocket they are happy not to come to work. Maybe just sit at home to watch TV or just mingle with the crowd at shopping malls. That to me....poor attitude becoz if there are money in my pocket...then everyday is a new year or X'mas to me. Money is everything but everything is not money to some.
End of the day....eyes wide open and empty wallet too. What is the point?
Come morning....3 rest days will be waiting for me. Then work for another 4 days....bonus and New Year day again. That's great.
As for work....I will tighten the screws on the aunties, I have been too kind and they took advantage of my kind and sweet nature. I am going to make some cry....father and mother, only then their eyes can see clearly.
