A friend of us was so kind to offer her help to be our wedding photographer. Little did we know that she just bought a new DSLR. See her portfolio here . Since her portfolio looks quite good, why not give her a try. She will be responsible for the main day. Probably TaiLing will be her backup. As for the banquet in Sibu, JooWee has happily agreed to help out as well. Now we do know that we have many promising photographers around.

Use MBTI knowledge preferences to understand exactly what is required on your job and adopt some of the behaviours when you choose to. Find other opportunities to express your preferences. Note: The goal is not to become another type but rather to expand your choices and the amount of control you

Just knew it our personality type can influence our career choice and path. Well, I read up to see if I've chosen a wrong career. Or maybe I'm checking what is my future career. Our MBTI result can help us to choose a new job or career, change job or career and increase satisfaction with the present career. Briefly, the MBTI preferences are: (1) Extraversion ( E ) or Introversion ( I ) focus on the people and things in the outer world OR focus on the thoughts, feelings and impressions of the inner world.

Bill Gates gave a profound speech during his graduation in Harvard few months ago. What do you know, only to get a degree after 30 years. Indeed, he must have found a satisfying achievement. Here’s the abstract of the speech for thought and reflection. He talked about the market value and how the men who manned it should bring benefit and fruitfulness to the community. Humanity’s greatest advances are not in its discoveries – but in how those discoveries are applied to reduce inequity. Whether through democracy, strong public education, quality health care, or broad economic opportunity – reducing inequity is the highest human achievement. Imagine that you had a few hours a week and a few dollars a month to donate to a cause – and you wanted to spend that time and money where it would have the greatest impact in saving and improving lives. Where would you spend it? If you believe that every life has equal value, it’s revolting to learn that some lives are seen as worth saving and other

That Raya break went to Sibu, Sarawak. Attended friend's wedding, arranged some wedding stuff and had a rest. What's there in Sibu? Well, there are few hotels booming. One hotel just opened and the other one is expanding. But you can hardly see any backpackers around. Probably they are in the forest for adventure trip. Seen here are two high rise buildings (RH Hotel and Wisma Sanyan) standing side by side. There was a gathering storm. Therefore, the photos ain't look brilliant.

It's really a sneak preview. We "sneaked" inside the about-to-finish condominium we bought, after asked permission from the guard, who didn't really care the intruders like us. It was all messy and every area was under painting, patching etc. Here's the swimming pool area. Look messy right. Welcome to our unit. We climbed to 12th floor to get here. Overall the unit was ok but a bit disappointed with the master bedroom. Smaller. Even smaller than my current bedroom. But it should be sufficient. Living room. Kitchen area. One thing we discovered, the corridor is spacious and it does look quite exclusive for the corner units. We also sneaked in other units, a smaller type. Found out the balcony wasn't that impressive. You can peek each other on the upper and lower floor. It's time to get the idea flowing for the house arrangement and renovation. She said kitchen will be the most needed renovation. Agreed.

… a body could not choose whether it obeyed the law of gravitation or not, but a man could choose either to obey the Law of Human Nature or to disobey it. None of us are really keeping the Law of the Nature. First, that human beings have this curious idea that they ought to behave in a certain way, and cannot really get rid of it. Secondly, that they do not in fact behave in that way. They know the Law of Nature; they break it. Excerpt from Mere Christianity
