    This morning I had an early session with someone. And apparently this guy just blasted me off for nothing, whereby he didn’t understand what the session was all about. Feeling lousy the whole hour, I went and checked my email and I’ve received this.



    After going through that I thought to myself. Heck Jesus basically got blasted left and right, and even beaten down. And He didn’t even said a word.. So He understand what we’re going through no matter what situation. God knows, because Jesus went through all the pain and suffering we human go through. So do not fret. Run to God when you’re feeling down. He understands!

Do You Believe in Karma?

    Ok.. From my other brief entry regarding the free night stay in Holiday Inn, well apparently we’re given a 2 days 1 night stay in Penang, Sunway Hotel. This was due to the lucky draw, we were hoping to get the Damai one, so at least we can run away just like that without any additional cost. Oh well, at least it gives us a good excuse to go to Penang for a holiday / honeymoon :P

    Yesterday, after coming back from the post office I went and emailed the some customer that I’ve already sent out their items. After doing that, I got up and started to walk in front of the shop and lo and behold I found a Sony T30, just sitting in front there. I was shocked, and asked Deluxe who left the camera here. Apparently what happened was that, someone took a photo of her vase and had to rush out as his friend has arrived already.

    So in the end, we took the camera and placed it in a more safer place to wait for the owner to come back. After a few hours, the owner did come back and we returned the camera back to him. He was indeed grateful that he still have his camera, but most important all his pictures. Whereby I think to me, the camera can be easily replaced but the pictures that were taken by the camera would be difficult. Anyway, we were also glad that the person managed to get back his camera. Whereby someone got his Iphone stolen recently, still feel pretty much upset about the whole incident.

    And as for the questions above. Nope I don’t believe in karma, but I do believe that one should always return something that was lost to it’s rightful owner. Who knows, someone could really save a lot for that item. So kesianlah them. What will happened if the owner doesn’t come back for it? Well, basically if the person really bought this and register for the warranty card and all that. There is a serial number that you can actually trace from it to locate the buyer. So basically it’s all good :) have a nice weekend everybody!~

Durian & Salt Water

I was suppose to go to Holiday Inn to claim a free night stay in a Deluxe Room for wedding couples courtesy of Sunway Hotel. Where I was asked to give comment for them on their services. But I forgotten all about it, and I forgot to call them telling them I won’t be making it. Haha. Oh well, there goes the free room. Anyway, just to make myself feel better probably they might rigged the room with cameras. So you never know. Hahaha.. But it’s all good!

 

 

Yup. It’s durian season again. And I can be sure that Merdurian is having a heck of time splitting up durians and happily gobbling on it. Hehehe.. Anyway, back to the main issue.. Yesterday, dad bought some durians back to the shop, and yes. Both of us hantam it, but unfortunately for Deluxe who doesn’t like fruit. Well. She just look on and see what we ate. Anyway, it is customary for one to drink salt water after enjoying the savory taste of durian. This is in order to so call “throw away” or wash out the heat inside the body after consuming durians. So why in the world am I blogging about this?

Well. What happened was that, after eating the durian, I went upstairs and started to make myself a glass of salt water. So I opened up the container, and then tasted the salt. It wasn’t as salty as I thought it would be, but never mind. So I took half a table spoon and started to make myself a cup of salt water. So after drinking half a glass of it, which I thought it wasn’t salty enough. So I made another glass with the same amount, but this time less water. So I passed it to dad to drink. He tasted a sip, and he said this is not salt water but….

 


MSG or also known AJINOMOTO
 

…… Yup.. I took half a cup of that, and boy was I surprised. Lol. Anyway, I was asked to drink tons of water as well as washed it away with Chinese Tea.. And apparently, I’m still alive now with hair in tact. Hehehe.. But it’s all good. Probably I might go get a new look this year, probably I’ll go shave my head or something. . Hehehe.

So boys and girls, what did we learn today? Make sure you ask first if you are not sure where the salt is being placed. Hehehe… So it’s all good :)

New Year Beginning 2008

Wooo. Haven’t been posting much lately as I have been pretty much occupied with tons of stuff lately. Firstly would like to congratulate both Selamat & Michelle, in their wedding on the 29th Dec 07. Sorry guys, am still processing your pictures, so hopefully it will be done by another day or two. Ok.. Wishing everyone a Happy new year…

So many things to post, but got lazy to do it in the end.. Hehehe.. Anyway, here’s a brief summary on what has happened to me during the past year 2007. Crap how time pass by so quickly.

January
After my proposal with Deluxe on the 24th December 2006, we started to plan on how to run the things for the big day. Apparently I haven’t asked her dad for her hand in marriage. So I had to seek counsel on how to ask someone’s daughter for her hand. Once that was done, our next problem which was choosing the date. And unfortunately, he did encounter some problem, but in the end everything went out all right. Reason why we had to get our dates correct was Airasia was giving out free tickets. So that was our main concern. Anyway, we also managed to decide who to take our wedding pictures, marriage counseling, as well as preparing our engagement sweets.

February
I managed to get Powerseller Status on Valentine’s day. Guess that what eBay gave us for sticking with them hehe. Anyway, went back for Chinese New Year, and celebrated with the family. And on the 27th of Febuary, Deluxe and I got engaged on that day. That’s where we announced our big day :)

March
Basically nothing much happened during this month. As I remember that Deluxe had to go back to Jakarta to renew her passport. Then we tried and look for something else to do as well, especially getting ready for the wedding and other flight arrangement on how to go to Jakarta.

April
Ok. I got a first hand at a Fujifilm S6500FD, whereby I managed to play around with it. Interesting how Fuji can come up with this sort of camera, and apparently this model was so much better compared to the S9600. But it was good having to fool around with it for a while.

During this month was the very first time I attempt to write for PPP. Boy was it addictive as well. And also we had our 2nd marriage counseling. Anyway, during this month was our memorable furniture incident.

May
During this month it was Deluxe’s Birthday at Sharing Planet. Wasn’t what we expected, but it was ok. After that, she had to leave for Jakarta for a friend’s wedding and won’t be back for a while. So I’ve decided to move in for the time being, as it would help me save tons of time. Especially with the cats around..

Speaking of cats. I actually lost one of my cat the day before I left for Jakarta (Day 1). What happened was that, I brought it over to Selamat’s place, and hoping to drop it off there. Anyway, once I opened the door, she actually leaped out from the car and went to the neighbor’s place and hid under the car. We tried to call her out (the one missing was Ah Phak : the white one, and Ah Dut got locked up in the shop next door) but she wouldn’t want to come out. I think after 10 mins, didn’t hear any more sound from her, as we tried to get his neighbor to open the gate she wasn’t there anymore.. Haiz. How sad, and apparently she is much more smarter and more fun to be with compared to Ah Dut. Oh well, hopefully someone took her in and give her a better life.

Here are my epic adventure while I was in Jakarta for a few days. You can have a look at them here as follows.
Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Going Home.

June

This month we have Granny’s Birthday as well as my birthday. During this month most of the major things really happened in my life. On the 13th June 07 was our Registration Date for both Deluxe and myself. Plus our Engagement lunch on the 24th June 2007. Those were indeed memorable. And not to mention the Bridal Shower that was thrown at us from our Cell Group. It was good.

July
Major event that happened here is probably the time I become NMBC Certified. Yup, I got married on the 7th of July 2007. We had our ceremony at SIB Canada Hill Church, followed by lunch at Telang Usan Hotel. After that, we had our Tea Ceremony at my place. Then we rested a while before heading out for our dinner reception. But of course I couldn’t have done this with the help of my family. That was indeed the major event that took place in July.

August
On the 11th of August 2007, I’ve got myself certified as a Education Specialist. Plus during this month I started on another journey in term of career wise, where I’m doing phone consultancy in helping people to start their business on eBay. Apart from that, I started getting into the hobby of photography already.

September
Nothing much happened here, as I recall most of my blog became very quiet where I also bought a HP IPAQ 512. Anyway, the new job really took a lot out from me. So it was a bit sad, but after a while it got better. And I had to delay my Merdeka convoy post three weeks later. Haha.

October
As you can see, during these few months my post became less and less. As I was still adjusting with tons of things as well. So basically didn’t pretty much blog much. And it was basically tiring. Plus, during the month of October, this was when this site alexjong.com was born, and also I completed my Education Specialist Site.

November
Things started to get busy around here.. Especially with Vacation Bible School where the kids were really a pain. Lol. Anyway, the month of November, I had two things happening. One was VBS as well as an event with eBay, where I actually went there and help them out. People were amazed what in the world I’m doing in KL. Some more this is voluntary, and I don’t get paid. So yeah, so take it as if I’m attending a live event and finally meet up with the others I normally chat on the boards. It was good. As for VBS, was hectic where we had practice almost every night just to train the little one to perform well for the fun night. Anyway, I also had a little bit of side effect from the whole thing, but it’s all good now. After that was our KK Trip! Yeah! We had fun :) Here’s our trip which was divided into 4 parts. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, & Part 4. Here’s our budget report during our KK trip as well.

December
During this month Deluxe and I join the Christmas Procession, where we basically toured around Kuching singing Christmas Carols. And also we during Christmas Eve, we watched the performance of Faith Methodist Church Children Choir in a Penguin Story. And also witness the Baptism on Christmas Day.

I would also like to congratulate for Selamat & Michelle on their wedding which falls on the 29th December 2007. I’ve still yet released the photos, as I have not been authorized to share these pictures yet.. Hehehe. But it’s all good. Anyway you can see their bridal shower here.

That’s all for 2007. Yup. How time flies. Thank you all for those who have dropped by here once in a while to see if I’m still alive or not. And very sorry for the disappointment if there’s nothing interesting to see here. Anyway, I’ve already made my New Year Resolution for 2008. Anyway.. Have to finish up Selamat & Michelle pictures now. You guys have a good year.
