Kuching Trip

Just came back from Kuching to complete a job assignment. It was fantastic to meet so many of my buddies and so many new friends. The three days were exhausting and drained all my energy. I need to have a good rest now as tomorrow I had so many appointments.

Good Nite!

A trip to Melaka

Last Thursday I traveled with William & Joseph to Melaka to visit a project site. In the evening I had dinner at a nice place called "Eleven Bistro" Restaurant along Jonker Street. The food there is fantastic and delicious.

We had some drinks too ...






This place is owned by a man called "Uncle Keong", an old friend of Joseph. Inside the restaurant the interior setting is unique.



























An old weighing machine & abacus hanging with an egg smasher.

The next morning we had breakfast at Uncle Keong Delicacies.















I had Misua with shark fin & mushroom. It was delicious.

I also had another bowl of spicy curry chicken mee.







After that we also had: "bird's nest soup"






and something black (I don't know what it is ...)






I'll be there again soon ....

2012, a new beginning

Chinese New Year is over. Now it's time to get back to work. 2012 will definitely be an extremely challenging year, full of excitement and mammoth tasks ahead. There's so much to do with so little time. Apart from my consultancy works, which is causing breathlessness, I have also promised Alex that I will conduct a few seminars in Kuching this year. I am not sure how I'm going to schedule my timetable, but I had given my words to Alex and now I'm juggling with my schedule to fit those assignments. With so many project assignments I just wonder how I can squeezed the 2 days teaching assignment to satisfy Alex. I think I better get to bed to stop pondering.

Good nite!

Balik Kampung

Another year has passed and another new year begins.

2011 was a year of tumultuous challenges and I had to accept some drastic events that was undesirable. It was a year where I had to learn that friends that we hold dear would betray us. It was a year of major decisions and though I had to accept some drastic move, fortunately, towards the end of the year, I had been richly blessed when I was rewarded with a big project assignment which will make 2012 a fantastic year. It was what we called - "Blessings in disguise" - I lost one but I gain another. What was suppose to be bad events turned to be a great happening with fantastic rewards. November 2011 was tough but December was the turning point for me. The month of Jan 2012 has given me the greatest satisfaction with so many good news. I can now look forward to another bountiful year of harvest.

Let's now get ready to celebrate 2012 Chinese New Year and have a nice holiday before we embark on a new journey in life. I will be traveling tomorrow - "Balik Kampung" and is looking forward to celebrate the Chinese New Year with all my family and friends.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR AND WE PRAY FOR A SAFE JOURNEY FOR EVERYONE.

SUCCESS QUOTES & SAYINGS

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction.

Today's Thoughts

FIVE RULES TO REMEMBER

1. Money cannot buy happiness, but it’s more comfortable to cry in a Cadillac than on a bicycle.
2. Forgive your enemy, but remember the asshole.
3. If you help someone when they are in trouble, they will remember you when they're in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because it’s illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve problems, but then, neither does milk.

Today's Thought

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone
who can do him absolutely no good.

~ Samuel Johnson


All high achievers plan their work and work their plan,
for they are keenly aware that "luck" is most often
being prepared to take advantage of a situation.

~ Unknown


"Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts.
This is the secret of success."

~ Swami Sivananda

Today's Thoughts

"To think I'm living proof of what I believe in ...
that I'm living in a dream of my own creation."
--Deepak Chopra

"True wealth is wisdom, creativity and humanity."
"Wealth is a state of consciousness and money its abstraction."
"Wealth is defined as the enjoyment of abundance in all aspect of life."

"What we are experiencing now is a manifestation of our collective consciousness. We create the conditions that we are living in. Whether enjoyment or suffering, hope or despair, we have enabled it through our awareness and allowed it by our behavior. By our participation - through action or apathy - we have created a world around us. Who among you dares to make that journey within to realize what you are really worth? For only then will you lose the shackles of your indebtedness."

--Tessie Lim (tessielim@tessielim.com)

Can you afford such luxuries?
Do they provoke deep thoughts?
