Did Guan Eng actually said that 'BN is a coward' or just instigation from the media ?

Eyes Wide Shut: MalayMailOnline: MCA told to shut up

Eyes wide shut...

Not being appreciated and respected, was humiliated instead.

This is a good case study - at the end of the day, even own partners will look down on you, despise you.

Eyes wide shut - it is so obvious but yet you couldn't see.

Yup... everything has a reason...

Dear Malaysian Banks, Please Stop The Intimidation

If you pay your credit cards way before due dates, the banks will start calling you to offer you to buy more things. This is really intimidation.

Dear Malaysian Banks, please stop knifing your good customers.

I feel intimidated by your service calls.

How to Save Capitalism ? Michael Schuman (Time)

Something's gone wrong with the global economy. But there are ways to put things back on track.

The solution is to encourage more capitalism.

The author suggested that governments must not rescue banks. Only freer markets can ensure that wrongdoers lose and do-gooders win.

Secondly, to encourage more corporate governance for better financial management and moral justification for a capitalist system.

So, what is the proper definition for capitalism ?

Capitalism biggest opposition is communism. Period.

Capitalism is a meritocracy that rewards the hardworking and talented. However, the biggests problem with capitalism is the widening gap between rich and poor. What about equal opportunity ?

There can never be. It is never perfect. It is like trying to make things right for a specific period of time. Does it means that parents who can afford early education for kids must defer sending childrens to pre-school so that it will create more equality for others who can't afford. It doesn't make sense either.

The solution is to encourage a freer economy ? Yes but we need more than that.

Cansurvive Provides Free Workshops With People Living With Cancer

Cansurvive is an NGO that aims to help you get informed, to be a one stop educational and support centre for bridging allopathic and complimentary approaches to wellbeing so that you can make informed decisions about how to best lead your life.

Anne Munro-Kua Transformations facilitates free workshops with people living with cancer, with plans for working with health practitioners. This year I have had the joy of running 4 such workshops and working with a number of individuals to explore ways to be able to "Laugh and relax even though I have cancer". Each time I engage in such sessions, I am humbled and encouraged by the commitment of the people I work with, many of whom now see "cancer as a gift", an opportunity to be empowered and really turn their lives around.

Kidney Transplant Recipients Feel Grateful For Her Life

When Lim Chu Ee was 10 years old, she suffered a viral fever, which left her weak and unable to lead a normal life. Little did she realise that it would be a life changing experience. Enrolled into a Chinese school, and enjoying her life as a school girl, with many friends and a happy family, it was an earth shattering experience to be informed by her doctor that her kidneys had failed as a result of the illness.

Out of the blue in 1996, her parents received a phone call requesting them to make a trip to KL as a child had died and the parents were willing to donate her kidneys. Lim and her parents made the journey, hoping for good news and they were not disappointed. Lim was one of the lucky recipients and the other kidney went to another school girl, known only to Lim as 'Haslina' They became good friends over the 3 months hospitalized in HKL.

Election Day Is Near (For Malaysia)

If you look at Newspaper, the election day is near.

The way I see it, it is possible that it may happen by end year (2011).

Now is a good time to make applications for anything to do with public services.

This also includes payment of summons.

Bad Investment Choice, IQ Can Be Trained Up!!

Refer to 'Billionaire willing to pay RM100K for young, high IQ and fair ovum donor'

You can train up good IQ, no need to look for it. But it will require time, just like building up your muscle.

IQ is just a state of mind, it is how you think and react.

High EQ people are passionate people, because their thinking are based on feelings.

High IQ people are the opposite.

One way to train up your IQ is to play computer strategy games.

Why ?

Because it will put you into training ground for the following scenario.

• Forces one to solve a specific problem within a short period of time.
  
• Forces one to solve a problem before you get up.
  
• Forces one to think about strategies and solutions to problems on the spot.
  
• Forces one to think within the scope of the problem.
  
• Trains one to stay focus.
  
• Trains one to be more patience.
  
• Trains one to not to give up until you find a solution
  
• Trains one to be innovative (in certain ways).
  
• Trains one to think about best practices.
  

It is just like going to the gym.

Can we move on beyond the C.I.M.B ?

Refer to 'Start of Lim’s Malay dilemma'

I am in my 30s now, and I have heard this same old story for over 20 years, perhaps even more than that. It is just same old.

Can we move beyond the C.I.M.B ?

The was a joke that the CIMB Bank was formed by 3 Malaysians, and they go by the name of Chin_a,Ind_iana and Mal_ik.

So, they call the bank as CIM Bank.

On a serious note, Malaysia is still same old.

Let me tell you that your true friends may not accompany you always

Let me tell you that your true friends may not accompany you always.

But they are your true friends.

They care for you.

Lee Was on Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) for five years before he underwent a transplant

Taken from NKF Shared Issue 2 2011 (PP9314/08/2001 (028834)).

Lee was one of the lucky ones when on July 27 1996, his fortunes changes for the better. An American expatriate died of stroke at the age of 56 and the most eligible recipient at the time turned out to be Lee. Lee therefore received a new kidney and with that came a new lease of life for his wife and twin daughters.

不要赢，也不可以输

这个社会是冷血的。

当你成功，比别人有钱，别人会妒忌你。你赢，别人输。

当你失败，别人会责怪你，说你不对，你差。你输，别人赢。

其实，跟他们无关。

我认为，我们不要赢，也不可以输。

My Comments On 'Star readers come to fresh grads’ defence'

Refer to 'Star readers come to fresh grads’ defence'

I would say that it is because the economy is not big enough to sustain everybody.

We need to spike up economy and bring it to a more global scale.

My Comment On Kin says sorry to kindie

Refer to 'Kin says sorry to kindie'

If you care to look around, I would say that in Malaysia, this is just tip of the iceberg.

This reminds me of one of my favourite song;上海滩。

浪奔浪流

万里滔滔江水永不休

淘尽了世间事

混作滔滔一片潮流

是喜是愁

浪里分不清欢笑悲忧

成功失败

浪里看不出有未有

爱你恨你

问君知否

似大江一发不收转千弯转千滩

亦未平复此中争斗

又有喜又有愁

就算分不清欢笑悲忧仍愿翻百千浪

在我心中起伏够

Or I really want to emphasize that this society needs love and real friendship.

It is timely to say that it is why we need places like Fo Guang Shan and etc which the door must always be left open to all.

I still remember a venerable from Fo Guang Shan said this.

相聚总是因缘，是好是坏，一念之别。

This is very true, we must have the courage to love.
