2011: NOT A BAD YEAR REALLY

Today is the last day of 2011.

The auditors will come in soon to do a stock check at the factory where I worked. So likewise it's time to do a stock check on my life. Oh well just a quick one of what I have done or not done in 2011. Maybe I should indulge only the done.

Healthwise God has been gracious and I have not had any serious illness that kept me in bed for a long period.

1)My outdoor activities:-

Surprisely I manage to find some like mind people to hike with me whilst I am here at Johor.

When I first started working here, I thought there goes all my hiking activies. However I have to give up my gym activities, and there are none here in Kulai where I stay.

But I make up by having a door bar for my chin up and a abs workout bench.

Still no sign of any 6 pack yet. Have to carry forward as part of 2012 resolution? I must also include my indoor wall climbing activies. Manage to find one in Johor and even rope in my friends and my son to accompany me in my wall climbing which I have rekindle the love for it once again.

2)Photography.

This was another area I thought I had to give up, but since I was able to do some hiking here in Johor and also back home when I make my monthly trip to my hometown I took the oppourtunity to snap some photos mainly on nature and my friends.

Oh yes, I manage to join one or two photo shooting event and even organise two on my own.

Also on one of those event I manage to bring along my son to join me.

3)My God daughter, Snow

Had spent some quality time with my dear God daughter as well whenever I got back to my hometown. She will leave to further her studies in New Zealand next year.

4)My Grand Daughter,Darissa

Yes, this was the year when my first grand child was born. She was born in the month of october. That makes 3 members who had their birthdays in October, namely yours truly(Grandpa), Her Dad(my son) and Darissa.

5)New friends

I am thankful also for 2011, where I made so many new friends both physically as well as on the

blogosphere.

6)My Lovely wife

It would not be right and complete without making mention of my wonderful wife. She had been a pilar of strenght to me and help in keeping the family together while I am away working  in another state.

Thanks Darling for all you have done.

That's sum up my round up for 2011.

Soon 2011 will be history as we ursher in 2012. Whatever things has been done , cannot be undone,but what has not been done, we still have the opportunity to do it in 2012.

My wish for 2012 is Malaysia will enjoy peace and all races will live in peace, there will be good and honest law makers in the government.

WHAT A STRANGE REQUEST.

Honestly I just can't find any thing wrong with these photos.

this one maybe?

But these two definately ok what.

 But my darling daugther sent me a message asking me to take it off from facebook. Of course I do get such request from female friends who are somewhat sensitive saying, they look  fat on that particular photo or not their best side of the face etc. As a proud dad I want to display and show off my daughter, but unfortunately she don't share the same enthusiasm  as me. Any of you girls feel or react this way too? Strange guys have no such problem.

SEASON'S GREETINGS

It's gonna be a busy weekend for me.  Tonight will be in church to celebrate our church's dedication. We just moved into a bigger building a few months ago and tonight we will give thanks to God. The General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God churches in Malaysia will grace the function. Tomorrow some friends found out I was coming back for the weekend prompted me for another hike, and so will celebrate Christmas with them , with gift exchange etc on top of the hill. Then sunday will attend another Church -lunch function at the invitation of my former National Royal Rangers commander Ps Albert Ong's church.
What a nice way to end the year.  In case I am away from my blog, here's wishing all my friends and visitors A Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.

DIFFERENT SHADES

This post is somewhat influence by a canadian blogger . When I commended on his Ray-ban., he suggested I pick up one too.  Well I did not give it much  thought until now.
I don't remember when   I first started wearing a sun glass, but  I know it was after I started working.
This was  my first shade, a mona lisa. except maybe with a bit darker tone.  What makes me  wore one?  Apart from looking cool, it protect my eyes from the sun and wind. yes  even wind, as I was riding a suzuki motor bike then.

I think some of the American movies has some influence on me too. Guys with shade really look cool, with all the hot chicks around them.  I did set my eyes on ray-ban even back then, but since I just started working, I could ill afford getting one. Mona lisa seems to be the cheapest one I could afford. I was using it for quite awhile until I ran into a lorry, no actually the lorry was in the way. Anyway I came out unscratch, but my mona lisa was history.  I got another replacement and used it for a number of years ,but I can't recall where I had placed it.

Over the years, I was using different brands even though I had upgrade from motor bike to cars. Lee Cooper was one brand recomended to me by a sales girl at a  shop near the gym I frequent. Just as stylish and most importantly practical.

Of course nothing beats a Ray-ban, but lets face it not everyone will look nice in them. 

One can't escape to take notice of the cool shades on Erik Estada  in the popular tv series c.h.i.p.s.

Wonder if I will look as cool as Erik Espada in these.?  Never mind no need to answer.

LUCKY IS DEAD.

Lucky the Brown dog is always a welcome sight whenever I hike at Bukit Tabur. But lately have not seen her.  Today I saw a post on Face book she is dead- suspected poisoning. I just can't understand why people can be so cruel to do such a thing. Her real name is Peace,but she is called by different names by different people. Rest in peace Lucky. You will be missed.

LUCKY RIP.

this dog is real smart .someone who is ignorant about chocolate being harmful to dogs, fed this bitch with a chocolate bread. the dog took the bread and burried it in the sand.

CAN LOVE BE MEASURE?

 Love means never having to say you're sorry" is a line from the novel and 1970 film Love Story starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal
Love is a many splendored thing and can be expressed in many ways, but can it be measured?
The Bee Gees sang how deep is your love? So if there is a question there must be an answer right?
I asked my God daugther the other day do you love dad and how much? This is  her answer
Love is an uncountable word , I can't measure how much that I love u dad , but I can tell u , is my pleasure to have u be my dad, Appreciate paternal love from u ..u hav a place in my heart

Sometimes silly old man like me need an assurance. Her answer really warm my heart. It's good enough for me.

We need love and we want to hear it from our loved ones.
