Road to success....

I was so happy to meet Lili yesterday. She just came home from UK for the Chinese New Year. She makes her parents proud because she came home as a qualified Chartered Adjuster. I had seen her grown since a little child. Though she is the eldest in the family, with a younger sister and a brother, she was an innocent and  a quiet girl before she left to study in London 10 years ago.

The father being the breed winner, the mother had to save very hard to provide for the three children. Lili had the intention to pursuit her educational dream abroad when she was still young. After leaving her secondary school, she immediately went into the working force to earn and to help her family too. With some hard earned saving, she seek her mother assistance whether mum could allow her to study in UK. More so she was invited to study in one of the University there. Being so ambitious in her studies, the mother took out her entire saving for her. The combine saving of both daughter and mother might not be a lot but to them was   really some big money then. So sad! The amount could only keep Lili studying in UK for less than a year. Nevertheless the young 21 years old lady was prepared to take her risk to venture into this educational dream. Before she left, some of the relatives were pouring cold water over her mother as why she was wasting unnecessary money for this unintelligent child, more so she is only a daughter. Lili cried over hearing this remark at the airport before she left. In the plane she told herself she had to be successful in order to let her mum stands tall again for her.

For the first few years while Lili was attending her University studies, she had to take up several part-time employments in order to finance her personal needs and educational fees. She had been working as toilet cleaner, dish washers, waitress, cashier and clerical. She had to work hard to self support herself without disturbing both her parents financially back home. Not only she is intelligent, she is charming and pretty too. There were many male friends who were trying to court her attention all these years. Sorry! Lili being strict and serious herself, she abstained and controlled her emotion very well. Telling herself that love was the least important, except achieving her success in studies. After four years of studying she got her degree, but was still continuing to aim for her final level as a Chartered Adjuster. With all her determination, perseverance, plenty of hard work and concentration, this timid and innocent child of the past, have finally got what she wanted. 

Yes! The little child I admire so much is today a very confident and capable lady who holds the title as A Senior Chartered Adjuster. Yes again! You have proven to those belittled relatives wrong and your success has certainly makes your mother stands tall and be proud of you my dear. Congratulation!!!

Moral of the story - "The road to success comes through hard work, determination, and personal sacrifice"

Think twice before you make a decision....

A saying goes..."You thought you know but actually you don't, coz when you finally know you don't really know would you actually know that you do not know".

See! You have viewed the picture wrongly in the first place.... Right?

A woman can change your life.....

Hi Man!!! Are you down, lifeless, no drive, no dreams, not doing well, unable to fulfil your obligations, sad, frustrated, unhappy, sorrowful and still single.... Try this.

False Teeth........

A Pastor goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth.  The first Sunday after he gets his new teeth, he talks for only eight minutes.  The second Sunday, he talks for only ten minutes.  The following Sunday, he talks for 2 hours and 48 minutes. The congregation had to mob him to get him down from the pulpit and they asked him what happened. The Pastor explains the first Sunday his gums hurt so bad he couldn't talk for more than 8 minutes.  The second Sunday his gums hurt too much to talk for more than 10 minutes.  But, the third Sunday, he put his wife's' teeth in by mistake and he couldn't shut up...!!!

Wheel of Chance.......

Yesterday was Valentine's Day. I received a Valentine card from little darling. Would like to share it with you guys to see, laugh but please don't tease her. Promise?

That wheel of chance reminded me of my childhood days. When I was a little kid, those bicycle ice cream sellers carried a wheel of chance behind their ice cream boxes. For a five cent, we were allowed to spin the wheel once. All the numbers were One, except one particular side was printed as 9. Any child who could spin to get the number 9, would be given 9 ice creams. I was thrilled once, when I got 9 ice creams for only paying 5 cents.

Sad today! Because The Valentine Wheel of Chance has all the odds against me. It has 11 No Sex over 1 Sex. What a Valentine card I received! Hahaha!!!

Honesty & Empathy

What is honesty & empathy?

 

In Shanghai a taxi driver cheated my grandson for an iPhone while he was trying to run to a nearby shop to change for some loose change to pay for his fare. He was instructed to leave his new hand phone in the cab, when the innocent little child obeyed. A short while when the child returned to pay his fare, the taxi and the driver disappeared, leaving him to cry in pain.

 

There isn't any honesty and empathy in such a big city in China.

 

In Kuala Lumpur be careful when you stop for a taxi! Either you ask for the fare first to your destination or insist for the meter to run accordingly before you step into them. Don't ever take that cab if they refused to take the two options as mentioned because upon reaching your destination, you might be charged a fare that would hurt your heart unnecessary.

 

Reasons.. there is no honesty and empathy here too.

 

In Singapore where I am on holiday currently is totally different. Though I am a foreigner, all cabs never take me for a ride whenever I am on them. They always used the meters, friendly and took the shortest route to my final destinations.

 

My personal view... Safest place where honesty and empathy lies.

 

In Bangkok which claims to be the hottest fun place in South East Asia is beyond my imagination. Recently one of my friend who was on a business trip there had an unbelievable ride on their taxi. Upon reaching his destination, my friend realised that he had forgotten to take his hand phone which was left at the back seat of the cab. While he was trying to shout and yell for the taxi which was fast moving away from him, a motorcycle rider stopped immediately from behind. The rider didn't hesitate to take him along to chase for the taxi in front. After a few traffic lights  ahead, the speedy rider caught up with the taxi and managed to hail him to a stop. My friend got his important hand phone back and both taxi driver and the unknown rider refused to accept any reward. A broad smile and a big thank you were good enough to keep them happy as ever.

 

Yes! This is what I called as Honesty & Empathy that they have.

Old men still strong

Who say old man cannot make love? Read on.....

Horny 91-year-old pays RM10 to shag 50-year-old 

While most people his age are looking for the perfect yoghurt brand, this 91-year-old widower was caught having sex with a prostitute, whom he paid 20 yuan (RM10).
"I made a mistake. Please don't tell my family about it, I feel so ashamedl," he begged the police as he put on his clothes.
The man named Lin, has been living alone in Liuzhou of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region since his wife died long time ago. He was taking a walk when he bumped into the 50-year-old prostitute.

Kan Huo Wen

"I couldn't resist her seduction, so I paid to have sex with her," he told the cops, who released him after giving the grandfather a warning.

Meanwhile, Apple Daily reported that retired dentist Kan Huo Wen, who's known for his affairs with a lot of women, has been summoned to assist investigations into a prostitution ring busted by Taiwanese police, recently.
The 93-year-old was said to be a regular customer of the syndicate controlling dozens of women in vice activities. The racket had used a matchmaking agency as the front to lure single ladies into prostitution.
Kan made headlines when he refused to settle a bill of NT$14,000 (RM1,465) at a high-end restaurant in June 2009. It was reported that he was not happy that the woman he was match made with had ordered all the expensive food like shark fin soup and lobster.
The same month, he was also sued by a woman, who alleged that Kan had failed to pay her NT$20,000 (RM2,900) a month as promised before she agreed to become his mistress.
