These hard times....

If you are holding some shares or stocks, you should aware on the current economy crisis. Some says we are in recession. Is it real? All are affected. His company is not exempted from this economy crisis punishment. There will be closure for weeks. Rumor has it that next year gonna be worse. Company may opts for 3 or 4 days work. It is very uncertain life indeed. But Jesus say this: Do not worry about your life.....life is more than these..... So believe that God cares us. Of course there maybe some hard times but that's where we learn and grow. How about investing in spiritual economy ?

The wedding of ....

This wedding has some similarity with ours but, by comparison in every detail, each is still distinctly unique.

The trees

Though Christmas is just around the corner, there are some shops start playing CNY songs! Nevertheless, Christmas trees still aplenty in shopping malls. Our humble tree...

A purpose driven life - not the book

No, we have not read this book. But he just found out an old email regarding an interview with the author of the book titled "A purpose driven life". (He has not read that email for 2 years!) Read the interview here. What is the lesson of life? Or the purpose? Life is a series of problem. God is interested in our character. He wants to make us holier (rather than happier). Our choice: focus on purpose or the problem. If you focus on God, things will work differently. After all, God doesn't want us to be here just to complete a task list. He's interested in us, our character, not what we do.

It's all about fun...

This would be the only book he's able to complete reading it within a month (as of now). Simply because it's so fun to read. In short, Branson summarized his life philosophy as: Just do it Think yes, not no Challenge yourself Have goals Have fun Make a difference Stand on your own feet Be loyal Live life to the full Nothing ventured, nothing gained He even met Al Gore. And got influenced to follow the global warming campaign. Anybody out there in Malaysia share the same inspiration? We need a responsive corporate who is committed in promoting renewable and sustainable energy. I guess we are too busy making money and fighting each other in the parliament. No time for mother nature. Another book to give away....any taker?

Community at work

Whose responsibility is it to develop a close knit community within the workplace ? Employers? Employees? We see many employers try to foster good relation among the employees by organizing family day, annual dinner and brain washing training. Does it work? Often time we get a niche group within the employees. It could be a lunch partner, a gossip mate or car-pooler. Well, after all, no man is an island. Wouldn't it be good if all employers can offer freebies at  workplace like what Google does?

Floating market

Probably the best tourist attraction in Bangkok. It is about 2 hours drive from Bangkok. Each morning traders flock to this village selling their stuff on boat. Really a wet market.
