VISITING OUR SON AT FELDA INAS, JOHORE

Saturday morning, my wife woke me up to inform she wanted to visit our son, in Johore later in the afternoon. so I said ok and went back to sleep. A little while later she complained the Dog had vomitted. so I had to clean up the mess. Could not sleep after that, so started to pack after having my shower. We left Klang at around 2.00pm after having our lunch. It was not a smooth drive as there was an accident along the highway. So finally arrived at Felda Inas plantation, where our son was based.Four hours drive and I was dead tired. Tried to take a nap ,but could not so end up watching some videos. My son works in a palm oil mill which is located deep in the jungle and very , very far from town. So there is nothing one can do except watching Tv. There is no internet connection except in their office. So I took the opportunity to jog , as I was still toying with the idea of taking part in the coming community run in klang which will be held in October 11th 2009. I think I manage to cover about 3.5 km still short of the target of 6km. It had started raining and so I make my way back to the house where we were staying. In the evening it was TV and video again.
We spend a day with him, had dinner together with his boss on sunday night. All too soon we have to leave the following day .I left my laptop with him since he is all alone there and the laptop can at least keep him occupied,,so that he will not be too bored.
We decided to leave in the morning to avoid the traffic jam. We left around 7.40am and reached home at 11.30pm. Seems the trip back are always faster. since I was not tired , spend some time surfing, until in the evening and deceided to go for jogging to prepare for the coming community run in oct. An unexpected thing happen while I was there.
Read it all here.
Wonder why bad news always come one after another? I was informed our company had opt not to give me a contract after my retirement in october , not too long ago and now this??

why no reply??

I dont know about you, but I get pretty upset if my messages are not responsed on time. I feel that all messages should be responsed with a reply whatever the answer maybe, because it would not be fair to the people sending it as it might upset their plans. When an answer are given, it will makes things easier for that person making plans and to decide on the next course of action. Dont you agreed?
Even in the business world we were taught to give a holding reply if we are not able to provide the information requested to the enquirer.
Unfortunately not everyone think this way. I just wonder why do people do that?
surely it does not takes much effort just to reply a simple message? No credit? I left my phone behind , or my battery just ran out. All these excuses does not work anymore. . Ok they might be valid reasons, but if you do it once too often, what does that tell you.? Please lah be more original
But to be fair not everyone are like that. There are a few people I know who response promptly. I salute you guys. Appreciate your thoughtfulness

Gym no more.

Tonight I did my Body combat at the Local gym for the last time. In view of my coming retirement, I have deceided(after much thoughts) to discontinue my membership at the gym. As much as I love the gym and the group exercise I reliase all good things must come to an end sooner or later. While I was there I really enjoyed the class and work out. I have completed my training with my PT Snow and I think I have achieved my goal. I need to trim my expenses until I can find employment again. Until such time I have to give up something I loved, although it may not be easy.
So goodbye,再見, my friends ,my Personal trainer, Snow whom is very dear to me. see you around.keep in touch on FB.






I dedicate this song to you guys.

When do one overstayed their welcome??

I have been thinking what my wife told me quite recently.Dont bother people too much, you might find yourself being a pest,(actually this word is mine not hers)And my wife is always right in her judgement. Am I?
There are a few people I really care about, and always enjoyed their company. Wonder if the feeling are mutual? I find every opportunity just to be with them, wheather it is for lunch, dinner,buying some items at the surpermarket or just chit chat over a cup of tea.I definately do not want to find myself no longer welcome by them. so how often should one meet without being a nuisance or bothersome to someone? One particular person that is very dear to me, never fail to disappoint me whenever I ask her out for dinner or just to shop at the supermarket. sometimes she will initially says no but later would changed her mind and accommodate me. wonder if it was just because of obligation or because she wanted to. If only I could read people's mind. I do hope I am not being a nuisance. I really am sincere but if I am being intruding or no longer a welcome it would be nice if they could tell me and I will back off.
What ever it is please dont cut me off. I can lose my job, even my life,but I can't live without your love.

UNTIL IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO.

This afternoon I received a letter from the company informing me of my retirement which will take effect on my Birthday in oct 2009. This is one birthday I am not looking forward to. Why must they follow to the letter. can't they just let me at least complete the whole month.?? I was so moody the whole day after receiving the letter. I just do have the mood for anything. So I sent a text message to my God daughter if she could have dinner with me later in the evening. At first she said she could not due to her work commitment. Later on she text me to say she could make time for me after all.
That really cheer me up a bit. I always enjoyed her company. Thanks Paupei for the time. you really cheer me up. Well Oct is not too far away and my birthday is on the 2nd week and that's when I will clock in for the last time.
Tomorrow will be another working day for me until that final day arrive. I will still put in my best as I always have. Since the day I first joined the work force I have never short change the company. I always believe in giving one's best and I believe I have discharged my duties to the best of my ability. I have never exhausted my Mc. in fact I think I have a clean records as far as Mc are concerned. I can remember there was only one or two occasion where I really need an Mc as I was really sick. When I retired at least I can hold my head high knowing I had done my best.Wonder what retiree do after they retired??

HEARTBREAKING SONGS

The Hollies
Sorry Suzanne
(Geoff Stephens/Tony Macauley)
Single release february 1969


I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me I was wrong
and I knew I was all along
forgive me

I still love you more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne for ever hurting you
you know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry Suzanne.

I could never ever justify
all the tears I've made you cry
but I do regret it, my Suzanne
You gotta believe me

I was looking round for someone new
what a foolish thing to do
all the time I knew it
heaven knows what made me do it girl

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me
I was wrong
and I knew I was all along all along
forgive me

{Interlude}

I'm truly sorry Suzanne.

If you would only take me back again
things would be so different then
what I wouldn't give for
one more chance to live for you Suzanne.

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me
I was wrong
and I knew I was all along all along
forgive me

I still love you more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne for ever hurting you
you know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry Suzanne.

IT'S ALL ABOUT CHOICE

There is not a day, we dont have to make any kind of decision. Wheather it is a major decision or minor or not so important ones, we still have to decide and then make a choice. Sometimes we make a good and right decision and there are times we made a wrong decision and we have to live with it and hopefully learnt from that experience.
Last sunday was no different for me. I had planned to go for a hike at Broga in semenyeh. It was raining very heavily in Klang and I got a call from my friend Darren who informed me he might cancel the hike due to the weather but he can only decide once he reached the meeting point with the rest of the hikers. As he was late he had to leave in a hurry and I was to meet him latter at Mid valley. After picking up another friend Irene who brought along her two children. Since it was still raining and we were still in klang. She call up Darren and was informed of the situation and so we have to make a decision. if we go all the way to Broga and the event get cancelled it will be a furtile trip. So we decided to opt out since we were not sure if the weather there was favourable. We end up having dinner at a cafe at Bukit Tinggi. The kids were informed of our decision and they took it quite calmly no tantrum or argument at all. I credit it to the mother who had taught them well. Anyway we had a good meal and most importantly good fellowship.
How would you like it , when you logged into your facebook account the following day and you see photos of everyone having a good time at that supposely cancelled event??
Well we make a choice to opt out and obviously a wrong decision on our part.But we were not disappointed, because there will be other time and opportunity. But decision like this is not critical and we can live with it. so it no big deal if we missed out the fun.
There are times making the right decision are important and making when it concern money. I will be retiring in two months' time and I decided to terminate my membership at a local gym. My friends asked why do I need to quit. well I told them since I will be out of job(until I find new employment) I had to trim down my expenses. It is not an easy decision ,but it was necessary. I have to give up something I loved , but sometimes we have to make sacrifice depending on the situation.
There will be time when you need to make a choice between family and friends. What if you have been invited to dinner or party by your friends and your family is having something on as well on the same day. you have to decide whom to choose. someone will be disappointed in situation like this. who do you choose your friends or family. For me I will always choose my family. But I have known some people who will choose self first ,followed by their friends. It would appear their family are not important to them. sad indeed. Joshua have no problem making a right choice when he a gave a choice to the Israelites.(joshua 24:15) and then he make a stand on his choice.
" choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,... . But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."
In life it's all about making a choice.
