be a farmer and love your wife

Sometimes i would wonder that when can i get out of this rat-race life.
Not long ago, i have figured out the answer without timeline given. The day will come when I can finally pay back all debts and have a lot of cash in the bank for reserves. This is the day I will satisfy my partner during sexual intercourse with maximum effect, when there is no stress..keke!
anyway, there are times i thought about being a farmer and live a quiet life. Go to places that is humble and peaceful such as on top of the hill or far-away-paradise like Semporna, Sabah. Be a farmer, plant your own food and eat it, try to sell it. At night spend most of the time socializing and spiritual cultivation.
So here it is, for those share similar interest, there is a farming course for us.
CETDEM (Centre for Environment, Technology & Development Malaysia) will be organizing courses on organic farming/gardening. Courses are designed into 3 different categories, ranging from short course to in-depth course.
1) Weekend Short Courses on Composting on 2 Oct 2005, 3 - 5pm - This course tells you what organic gardening is and teach you how to make compost from kitchen, garden & market waste.
2) Course on Organic Kitchen Gardening on 22-23 Oct 2005 - This course is for those who want to know the theoretical and practical aspect on how to start an organic garden.
3) Course on Organic Farming on 4-6 Dec 2005 - This is an in-depth course on organic farming, suitable for converted or potential farmers, extension workers from government agencies or NGOs, organic food operators or organic compost/fertilizer manufacturer.

Life long employability
According to the DPM, graduates should now focus on life long employability and not life long employment.
Original Article
This is good thing... which would settle for questions like "why do you keep hoping jobs ?"
Then answer is that "I want to increase my employability..."
This is bad for companies for good for employees.

How much of your money goes to charity- The Star August 7th 2005
Original article
Important facts:
1. Charity organization like NKF only receives 10% the value which you paid.
2. NKF received like RM8k per month out of the 10 cents received from bookmark sales. For past 11 months, the total valued received is RM79K. (This is not really a big amount)
3. The are around five major charity groups which collect fund from public.
3a. NKF (National Kidney Foundation Fund)
3b. National Cancer Council (MAKNA)
3c. WWF Malaysia
3d. Kiwanis Down syndrome foundation
3e. Shelther Homes for Children.
4. MAKNA has around 40k contributors which contributed around RM1 million monthly.
5. Under the direct-debit program, money would be debited to the foundation first before being paid to solicitors like Sharity Greetings(M) and Asian Direct Support.
6. NKF official said 30% of deductions went to Asian Support Direct for overheads in the first four months of the programme, with another 10% to Sharity Greetings to maintain the database of donors. For every month after that, Sharity Greetings receives 10% of the donors' contributions.
7. Granton and Appco are both part of the Cobra Group, a direct marketing company based in Britain and Australia. Appco operates Asian Support Direct as full subsidiary.
8. Related law:
The Societies Act 1966, he said, required any organisation registered under the Act to obtain approval from the Registrar to collect money from the public.
--------------What do I learn ------------------------
1. At least I know how cross-marketing collaboration works.
2. Not all money goes to the fund but at least we are providing jobs as well.
3. Don't take things for granted, even maintaining the fund requires funding.

Life is painful
Everything is associated with positive and negative energy.
Being nice is also painful because of the following problems:
1. Not appreciated.
2. Being manipulated or make used of.
3. Not achieving objectives.
4. Get into a lot of misunderstanding and dispute.
However, depending on mindset, it is still worth it for me. There are many times I vowed not to do anything that is related to human or people, because I was deeply disappointed with the response. Nevertheless, every morning I worked up and was recharged again, I want to deal with human being again. To me, it is worth it and that is the beauty which balances off the pain.
Therefore, it is appropriate to “eat like poor man, stay healthy” – Yin & Yang

fwd email: Mars is going to be a second moon of earth for a day
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfilment of your fall.
Mars is going to be a second moon of earth for a day. NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN. The Red Planet (MARS) is about to be spectacular! This month and next,Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again. The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the> moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. By August 27, Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot.
At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m. by the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That's pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month. Share this with your family, friends, children and grandchildren.

How to avoid arrogance & jealousy

fwd email: fake appeal
Guys.. I think this is faked one!
Just take note of the pattern and don't waste time in the future.
A couple of days ago, my daughter, she's 6years old, her name is Fatima.Well, she was playing on the street, in front of our house,and then out of no where, this car came out and crashed into her!
I was so frightened and angered at the driver, but it ended out to be, that the drivers brakes had been shot, and he wasn't able to stop.Luckily, my daughter, was able to avoid death, but she is in very serious condition. Right now, as I speak, she's in the hospital, but the thing is,she has a serious injury. It's internal bleeding, and it's bad to say,but we don't have any health insurance, and we don't have enough money to pay for the operation.
So I made a deal with a company, BCC inc and they told me, for>every person that will foward this email, they will donate 3 cents to>the operation.>>THIS IS NO JOKE. We attached encoding, that tracks how many times>this message is fowarded. SO PLEASE, FOWARD THIS LETTER TO EVERY PERSON>ON YOUR LIST.IT WILL BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

勇敢走完它吧
我可以说已走到一个地步,是蛮好的。感觉上好像超越了很多东西,想起已前,特别在就读中学时,我有那种无方向的感觉。因为我不是一名特优的学生,没有人特别照顾我,我觉得每天好像在浪费时间。我都有努力读书,但是我乃逃不出自己的命运。自到今天,走过的日子都不属于甜的;我有奋斗过,我有惨悔过,我知道,时间在也不多了,我已经老了。
很可惜以前不修行,但是,这是没可能的。我开始修行是因为三年前得了重病,这病说起来不简单,很恐怖因为当时我有感觉,这回来的我控制不了,它的力量比我强。在今,病已不见了。我没进过医院,只吃过中药,我也不只我是如何战胜它的。别人根本就不把它当做一回事,应为那是个无形的战斗,我的外表还没变。
人生如梦,难道这一却都有定数?我若没病,就不会持素,修佛等等。我到底是个胜者还是个败者?
想回以前的日子,心里起了恐惧感,我是不是走错了好多的路?好多东西不是我想要的,但是偏偏是主角。我不想再回去了。。
时间已到了,既然走到今天,就把它圆满吧。岁月不多,该做的也剩几项。我不求多,只修圆满,这才是解决方法。冤家门啊,请您放马过来吧。
圆满人生,要有勇气。

fwd email: Don't ever take panadol
DON'T TAKE PANADOL AND PANADOL ACTI FAST AND PANADOL SOLUBLE (ESP.PPL = HAVE GASTRIC).
FYI... ....One real story from a guy... My husband was working in a hospital as an IT engineer, as the hospital is planning to set up a database of its patient. And he knows some of the doctor quite well.
The doctors used to tell him that whenever they have a headache, they are not willing to take PANADOL (PARACETMOL). In fact, they will turn to Chinese Herbal Medicine or find other alternatives. This is because Panadol is toxic to the body, and it harms theliver.
According to the doctor, Panadol will reside in the body for atLeast 5 years. And according to the doctor, there used to be an Incident where an air stewardess consumes a lot of Pnadol during herMenstrual as she needs to stand all the time. She's now in her early 30's, and she needs to wash her kidney (DIALYSIS) every month.
As said by the doctor that whenever we have a headache, that's because it is due to the electron/Ion imbalance in the brain. As an alternative solution to cope with this matter, they suggested that we buy 1 or 2 cans of isotonic drink (eg.100PLUS), and mix it with drinking wateraccording to a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (simply, it means one cup 100plus,one cup water. or 2 cups water).
Me and my husband have tried this on several occasions, and it seems to work well. Another method will be to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water so that it brings the blood pressure down from your throbbing head.
As Panadol is a pain killer, the more Panadol you take, the Lesser would be your threshold for pain (your endurance level for pain). We all will fall ill as we aged, for woman, we would need to go through childbirth. Imagine that we had spent our entire life popping quite a substantial amount of Panadol (Pain Killer) when you need to have a surgery or operation, you will need a much more amount of general anesthetic to numb your surgical pain than the average person who seldom or rarely takes Panadol.
If you have a very high intake of Panadol throughout your life (Migraine, Menstrual cramps) it is very likely that normal general anesthetic will have no effects on you as your body is pumped full with Panadol and your body is so used to pain killer that you would need a much stronger pain killer, Morphine?? Value your life, THINK b4 you easily pop that familiar pill into your mouth again. Please send this to people you care about.

Tom Cruise’s recent interview with Matt Lauer expressed concern over drug’s side effect.
Well, at least try not too :)
FYI... ....One real story from a guy... My husband was working in a hospital as an IT engineer, as the hospital is planning to set up a database of its patient. And he knows some of the doctor quite well.
The doctors used to tell him that whenever they have a headache, they are not willing to take PANADOL (PARACETMOL). In fact, they will turn to Chinese Herbal Medicine or find other alternatives. This is because Panadol is toxic to the body, and it harms theliver.
According to the doctor, Panadol will reside in the body for atLeast 5 years. And according to the doctor, there used to be an Incident where an air stewardess consumes a lot of Pnadol during herMenstrual as she needs to stand all the time. She's now in her early 30's, and she needs to wash her kidney (DIALYSIS) every month.
As said by the doctor that whenever we have a headache, that's because it is due to the electron/Ion imbalance in the brain. As an alternative solution to cope with this matter, they suggested that we buy 1 or 2 cans of isotonic drink (eg.100PLUS), and mix it with drinking wateraccording to a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (simply, it means one cup 100plus,one cup water. or 2 cups water).
Me and my husband have tried this on several occasions, and it seems to work well. Another method will be to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water so that it brings the blood pressure down from your throbbing head.

cultivation of the heart
Life is this simple:
It is really a measure of your heart, either you are good or bad person.
Those with bad heart cannot be successful and must be endowed with more suffering. Failure to recognize this theory caused us to dwindle from day to day.
The worst human being in this world are those with a lot of money and came with bad heart. The most pitiful human being in this world are those with little money and came with a lot of resentment and hatred. If they can get rid of such negative energy, good things will follow.
For decades, people doubt such theories, mainly because everybody want to be god, everybody want to be more than themselves. They want to have more intelligence, more sex, more money and etc.
This is why one needs to make a vow in order to have a wish granted on their behalf.
In conclusion, cultivation of the heart is important.
以修心为本。

[hatifriends] Details of Brian's food collection you should know for your reference.
Dear All,
I hope this e-mail finds you all well.
As I have gotten a few enquiring emails over the week, I would like to list down the homes I collect for as a reference for you all. This list is NOT static but changes from time to time but this is as it stands now in June 2005.
This collection effort is a personal one and has been going on for the past 4/5 years. These organisations I collect for I know through my work in HIV/AIDS or through my company, TLC Sdn Bhd. It is done for free with the gracious support from people on my e-mail list of whom many have since become friends.
The collection works this way.
I send out an e-mail on odd months with a list of items. Hopefully then the items are delivered on even months with a 2 month supply.
Ideally people reply via e-mail and commit to the items they wish to contribute.
I send an updated list again.
I top up the items left with the financial help of a few long term friends/Supporters who provide the cash and the transport to buy the items.
When I reach the limit, I send out a note.
The above is the ideal, but due to my work and travel and urgent requests from the homes, there are sometimes changes in the schedule.
I also do not collect old clothes or fetch items as I do not have transport. HOWEVER, if you have items that you wish to donate (other than clothes), please do let me know and I will match you with the correct organisation that it can go to. Then you can liaise with the organisation directly. From time to time, I highlight requests from other NGOs/Communities.
Finally, if you have been put on this list accidentally, please let me know, and I will remove you at once.
Thank you all for your support. Please remember that this kind of work has to be a long term effort and ongoing THROUGH OUT the year and not JUST at the festive season. Also donor fatigue sadly means that the people who need help just get less or worse, nothing at all. If anyone out there has the interest to start a similar collection for other NGOs, please let me know how we can work together.
Warm regards and thanks again for taking time to read this.

[hatifriends] To help little Jacqueline Ng
Hi guys,
I'm dropping a word for 3-year-old Jacqueline Ng, who is suffering
from leukaemia.
She is in dire need of funds for her treatment spanning 2 years
which includes chemotherapy and injections. The amount needed is
estimated to be RM150,000.
A press interview has been conducted with the family and her appeal
will be carried out through a fund via MCA.
But I thought of spreading the message first, if anyone's interested
to help out.
Her father, Ng Chen Lian, a renovation contractor, is out of work
since the little girl fell ill. He ferries her to and fro from the
hospital.
Her mother is a stay-at-home mom to care for the family and other
sister Adeline, 6 yrs.
The Ng family has spent RM30,000 so far and dad had to sell his car
to finance the bills. It should be able to last them about 3 weeks or
more the most.
If you are interested in lending a hand, do contact Ng at 012 211 4478.
Or, alternatively, feel free to drop me any queries. Thanks!
Cheers
Susan Tam

This formula has worked well in the last 5 years or so and I would like to stick to it. ALSO, I am happy to share this mode of working with NGOs with anyone else who would like to start it themselves.
Back to the food collection: PLEASE remember to buy generic brands if possible as it is value for money.

7. Jam -30 bottles each collection – have 10 now

Also, for those who can help, Please lend a hand to the deaf and sponsor one or more students, totally or partially for a deaf camp coming up.
Details are as follows
30TH ANNIVERSARY YMCA INTERNATIONAL DEAF YOUTH CAMP (HH Camp)
Theme: Be One
Venue: Kuala Lumpur/Penang, Malaysia
Dates: 29 JULY- 5 AUGUST, 2005
My suggestion is to sponsor 50-60% of the cost of 700RM per person and leave the rest to the student to come up with. So an investment in a deaf person’s life to the tune of 300-400 ringgit per person will give them an opportunity to meet with other deaf youth from around the world and learn and share with them. If you desire to sponsor more, please go ahead. Please do think about it and perhaps get together with a few people and sponsor or part sponsor one or more youth.
