Happy Chap Goh Mei

Today is the 15th day of Lunar New Year. Today we called Chap Goh Mei in hokkien, Yuan Shiao Jie in Manderin & Yun Siu Festival in Cantonese. Doesn't matter what dialect its name, it's mark the last day of new year celebration.

Some people celebrated with prayers and offering, followed by a gathering dinner. Some people joining the throwing 'kam' (manderin oranges) into river. Erm.. the gals will write their name and contact number on the oranges and throw it into the river, while the guys ride in a boat and collecting it. The purpose is finding your another half, so the participants are single I supposed. How's effective this activity, I don't know because never joined before. haha. Some people may treat it just as another normal day, like me. And so happened it fall on Sunday, which is a wonderful resting day for me.
Amen.

Volunteer at Tzu Chi Free Clinic

On a one fine day, my friend Wen Yhi asking me for help at Tzu Chi free clinic. It's an urgent due to most of the Tzu Chi volunteers have rehearsal for the year end big event.
The clinic is located at Jalan Pudu which I am not that familiar, luckily Wen Yhi told we can go by car pool.. yippie.. On the sunday morning, she picked me up at 7.45am, the time we reached the clinic there's a long queue waiting by patients.
As the first time in the clinic, Wen Yhi briefly introduce the clinic organisation structure. There are 2 levels  in Tzu Chi clinic, 1 level mainly for GP, another level for chinese medicine. They have dentistry in GP floor too.
I am assigned to help in dentistry service and my work is to wash the dental instruments. haha...
Who are the patients? Most of them are Burmese refugee and some malaysian who are from low-income family. According to Wen Yhi, before the patients are entitled for free clinic (which is free doc consultation & free medicine), Tzu Chi people will have a survey on their family background.
There goes my 1st volunteer job with Tzu Chi free clinic..

Countdown to Peru - My Hiking Shoes

Selamat Hari Raya Adilfitri! Maaf, Zahir dan Batin.
Today is the 1st raya day to the muslim people and we have two days public holidays.

Six more days I will be leaving to Peru and I have yet to pack my luggage. :D

We are given a 'to bring' list for our packing. The most important thing is getting a pair of hiking shoes (an advise from those people who went last year). After did some researched on famous brand for hiking shoes as such The North Face, Columbia, Timberland. At last, I have decided this pair  ------>

With 30% discount, the shoes still need about RM400+. Not cheap though.

The 2nd Sunday

As I told before every 2nd Sunday of the month is my favourite day, 'recharged' day, fruitful day to me. It is once a month ACIM day, a gathering with a group of like-minded people.
The seminar is having at Bangunan Getah Asli, for those who have no idea where it is, it is right opposite KLCC.
The first keyword today is easy life no personal grow. OK.. it simply meant when we are too comfy into our comfort zone and not make any progress in it, then there is no added value in our life. We live life by constantly adding value in our life. By increasing value, it comes well reward also.
Like rice grain - the more value we are, the more humble we will be. In Malaysia, there is also a saying from the Malay community that 'Ikut resmi padi - semakin tunduk, semakin berisi"

The 2nd keyword is if you attached to something, caused you pain. Attachment caused pain and suffering because it's all about i, me, my. That's why we need to look beyond i, me, my, nothing is permanent.

If you cannot hear the voice of God, it is because you are not listening. This statement is derived from ACIM  book. If we substitute God = Love, then do we notice love is everywhere, because god is everywhere. So, be specific what we want in our life, what so ever we choose to create, we can have it, because God is good, god is no duality. Do something with goal in mind.!

The voice of Ego is LACK. 

See, these theories I may know already, however sometimes unconsciously being distracted by drama in life. ACIM day is a day to 'fine-tune' my 'engine', helping me to walk smoothly in daily life.

A wonderful day with Sis

Today is Selangor public holiday, my youngest sister said she would like to buy me lunch and brought me to Klang for bak kut teh. Haha.. universe is really great ah, I just thought of bak kut teh and wanted to have it one day, my sis already offered to buy me bak kut teh..

We stopped at the shop named "Fong Jiao" . Sis generously asked me to order the food I feel like to eat and my first choice is of cause go for the bak kut teh, and she added on a plate of fried vegetable and lala.

Superb food, I loveeeeeee the bak kut teh soup.

After lunch, we went to look see a soho unit in Subang. There are two agents so happen stationed there 'waiting' for potential buyers. The agent, Sean brought us to level 16 which is the highest floor. In short, the unit looks ok, but it might needs to do some renovation work. (which brand new unit doesn't right?) /wahaha

Then my enthusiastic sis wanted to show me a condo project in OUG which according to her is a good unit to consider but.. ...... yes but the area is congested with nearby buildings construction.  (I guess that are happening in all klang valley which so called prime location lar, new property projects mushrooming here and there).
However we ended up couldn't find the condo mentioned and took a route out from Bandar Kinrara headed back to LDP.

Along LDP there is another construction going on under Mah Sing group, my kind sis suggested to drop by and have a look. This projects are mixed development come with offices, retail shops, shopping mall and service apartments. Again, the service apartments come with  few layout options, the smallest unit with 1 room already sold out, and there are units for 2 rooms, 3 rooms, 3+1 rooms and 4 rooms. As usual, the showroom has fantastic interior design to attract buyers. /:p

Then we went around to look at the town-house at Tropicana and Sunway Park Ville, which one is more attracted to us? Of cause is the one which looks exclusive and surrounded by nice greenish view.

That's all my great time spent together with sis. Thank you , thank you....
