Raise your hand. Stop child abuse now!

The number of cases of child abuse are increasing and getting serious by the years. Social Welfare Department of Malaysia have indicated every year around 1,000 children were reported to be abused by their parents, relatives or guardians.

1,000 children in Malaysia alone, imagine what would be the total of child abuse in other countries? Think about it…

Child abuse will give a great impact on the children physically and mentally when they are growing up. Victims will not only suffer physically or mentally, but they might also will end up running away from home,  exposed to greater risk on the streets and some might be sexually exploited.

Actions should be taken to reduce the number of cases and to stop this barbaric act. Start giving hope and good future to all the children because they deserve it. STOP CHILD ABUSE NOW!!

1st Day As An Intern

Few months ago I have been busy going for interviews here and there to make sure that I have a position in a company to do my practical/internship for 5 months. And I’m grateful that TechnoDex Solutions Sdn Bhd, an IT company in Puchong not only accepted me, but also 7 other of my friends. Our internship will be going on from the 5/7/2010 until 19/11/2010.

So yesterday was my 1st day going to work as an intern. I didn’t have a good night sleep though because I was a bit excited nervous because I will be totally in a new environment for the next 5 months. So I woke up at 6.30am to prepare myself for the day that I have been waiting for weeks.

I made myself a small breakfast to fill my empty stomach so that it will not make any noise/distraction while I’m working.

Since I was up early and I had ample time, so I’ve decided to listen to some songs on Youtube to relax myself and to worship the Lord because He is the source of our Peace.

We started leaving the house at 8.20am. Our office is a stones throw away from our house. So it only took us 5 mins to reach to our working place. We were early. We waited for someone to give us some briefing in the meeting room.

Finally, one of TechnoDex employee came in to inform us our respective personal Project Manager(PM). Everyone was assigned to 1 PM. I was told that my PM is KC. After distributing the names, we were brought up to the working area on Level 1. The moment we opened the door, all of the employee that were on their desk were starring at us. I felt a bit awkward and shy at the beginning because I didn’t have so many eyes starring at me the same time my entire life (besides performing on stage). But then I started to feel much better after settling down on my working desk.

Some of my friends got to meet with their PM there and then. But as for me, my PM was not around yet. So I sat at my desk while waiting for him to come. While waiting for him/her (because that time I didn’t know my PM was a male/a female), I got to see with my own eyes the real working life in an IT company. It was really a can eye opener for me (in a good way).

After waiting for 30 minutes, finally my PM approached me and introduced himself. And yes, my PM is a MAN! Man or Woman doesn’t really matter. What matter the most is he/she is willing to guide me and to expose me to more new things that I’m not able to get in university. He started explaining the things that I will be doing and the things that he will be teaching me. The 1st computer word that came out from his mouth was, Scripting. Then I was like "Hmm ok, scripting. I didn’t learn that, but ok I’m willing to learn”. He immediately gave me a task there and then after giving a short explanation (verbally and via Yahoo Messenger). Yeah, Yahoo Messenger. That is 1 of the way employees communicate with each other in the company. How cool is that right? How I wished lecturers allow us to use MSN during lecture periods..haha

I manage to complete the 1st task that was given before lunch hour. We had our lunch in a near by Bah Kut Teh restaurant. It was quite expensive, so we did not order it individually, but we share it among 3 ppl.

Some of you might be worried that I ate very little for lunch, right? No worries, I ordered another bowl of white rice to fill my empty stomach.

After lunch we went back to our office and continue with our own task. To be honest, I’m quite tired and sleepy because I didn’t sleep well the night before. So for those who saw me going in and out of the toilet, I did that because I want to keep myself fresh. Haha..

Our shift ends at 6pm but none of us dare to make the 1st move to leave the desk because we were so chicken paiseh/shy about it because it was our 1st day at work. But finally after 15 minutes of pushing the responsibility here and there, all of us stood up and started leaving our desk.

We had our dinner at a food court nearby our house. I had Nasi Lemak Kukus which cost be RM4.50. It was somewhat delicious although it was a bit expensive. My 1st day as an intern ends with a nice sunset that could be seen far away…

Google Logo: PAC-MAN's 30th Birthday!

Google have been coming out with a lot of creative logos besides their original logo.

And I was quite surprised when I load Mr.Google up on my browser this morning. I was impressed with the logo that Google came up with to celebrate PAC-MAN's 30th Birthday. This time, Google’s Logo is not static but instead it is playable! We can actually play Pac-Man on their logo. How cool is that!!

Google is trying to give their users new experiences while using their search engine. I can’t wait to see what Google will come up with in the future.

The Pastor and His Donkey

Before I proceed, I would like to give some English lessons. Today we are going to learn the meaning of the word Donkey, Ass (don’t feel shy about saying the word Ass), Pastor and Nun.

Donkey: The donkey is a member of the horse family and are well known for being extremely stubborn, especially when they are asked to do things which are dangerous. A male donkey is called an Ass.

At the same time, the word Ass is used to describe other things.

Ass: buttocks, butts: The fleshy part of the human body that you sit on.

 
Pastor: The word pastor usually refers to an ordained person within a Christian church.

Nun: In the Catholic Church, a nun is a female who has taken solemn vows.

 
Understand what I’m trying to deliver? If yes you may proceed reading the forwarded email below. If you still don’t understand, try asking Mr.Google.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.
The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered in another race and it won again.
The local paper read:
PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.

 
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered
the pastor not to enter the donkey in any more races.
The next day the local paper headline read:
BISHOP SCRATCHES THE PASTOR'S ASS.

This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the pastor
to get rid of the donkey.
The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.
The local paper, hearing of the news,
Posted the following headline:
NUN HAS THE BEST ASS IN TOWN.

The Bishop fainted.
He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey
so she sold it to a farmer for $10.
The next day the headlines read:
NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.

 
This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the
donkey and lead it to the high plains where it could run free.
The next day the headlines read:
NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.


At last ... The Bishop was buried the next day.

MORAL OF THE STORY???
Being concerned about public opinion can bring you
much grief and misery and even shorten your life.
So, be yourself and enjoy life !!!
Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll live longer

What You Do To Others Will Be Done To You

Once upon a time in China , a girl named Li-Li got married & went to live with her husband and mother-in-law.

In a very short time, Li-Li found that she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at all. Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her mother-in-law's habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly.

Days passed, and weeks passed. Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting. But what made the situation even worse was that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to her mother-in-law and obey her every wish. All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing Li-Li's poor husband great distress.

Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-law' s bad temper and dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it. Li-Li went to see her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs. She told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that she could solve the problem once and for all.

Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that will slowly build up poison in her body. Every other day prepare some delicious meal and put a little of these herbs in her serving.

Now, in order to make sure that nobody suspect you, when she dies, you must be very careful to act very friendly towards her. “Don't argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her like a queen.” Li-Li was so happy.
 

She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law.

She remembered what Mr. Huang had said about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled her temper, obeyed her mother-in-law, and treated her like her own mother.

After six months had passed, the whole household had changed. Li-Li had practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she almost never got mad or upset.

She hadn't had an argument with her mother-in-law in six months because she now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with.

The mother-in-law' s attitude toward Li-Li changed, and she began to love Li-Li like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was the best daughter-in- law one could ever find. Li-Li and her mother-in-law were now treating each other like a real mother and daughter.

Li-Li's husband was very happy to see what was happening.

One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help again She said, “Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep off the poison from killing my mother-in-law. She's changed into such a nice woman, and I love her like my own mother. I do not want her to die because of the poison I gave her.”

Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. “Li-Li, there's nothing to worry about. I never gave you any poison. The herbs I gave you were vitamins to improve her health. The only poison was in your mind and your attitude toward her, but that has been all washed away by the love which you gave to her.”

 

HAVE YOU REALIZED that: how you treat others is exactly how they will treat you?

There is a wise Chinese saying: “The person who loves others will also be loved in return.” God might be trying to work in another person's life through you.

You may send this to your friends and if you wish spread the POWER OF LOVE.   After all you have got nothing to lose but a lot to gain. “A candle loses nothing if it is used to light another one".

Chinese New Year Mood

As I was packing my begs before heading home for Chinese New Year, I was going through the items that I wanted the bring back. After lots of thinking, I finally made up my my mind not to bring too many cloths/things back because I knew that there would be a lot of things back home waiting for me.

I brought back 1 empty tin, 1 container, a bed sheet, a blanket, a towel and a pillow case. That was my first time bringing back home so little things. Want to know why? Let me tell you the reasons..

Weeks before Chinese New Year, I requested something from my sister. I requested her to bake many types of cookies for me, so I can bring them back to my college after my Chinese New Year holiday. I requested for Pineapple Tart, Chocolate Chip cookies, and Corn Flakes.

I went back home on the 29/1/10, for a weekend break and guess what? Upon reaching home, my sister asked me to try some of the cookies that she had baked (me and my brothers are always her victims guinea pigs). So, the conversation goes something like this:

Sister: Clement, come try this one (Corn flakes).

Clement: AAAaaa (opening my mouth, because my sister was feeding me, haha)..Num num num..Too much honey, too sweet. I can’t really taste the butter. I think should put more butter and less honey.

Sister: Aiyah “Sat Pai” (failed). Never mind, I will do another new batch. Now try this one(Chocolate Chips Cookies)..Petrina say it’s hard like a rock.

Clement: AAAaaa, Num num num..Eh no ah, this one not hard. This one like “lau fong”, the container no close properly izit?

Sister: Eh, sorry not this one. *Searching*. I think is this one.

Clement:  Num num! @_@ Hard, but still okay… Not really that hard lah, still can be eaten de. But too sweet already. Too much chocolate chips.

Sister: So how? What to do with the hard ones? I mix it with the good ones, okay? :-p

Clement: Haha can can..

Sister: Try this Pineapple Tart.

Clement: AAAaaa..

Sister: Can taste the pineapple mah?

Clement: Num num num, erm… too little pineapple already. Should put more..

(That is roughly how our conversation that day. But there were laughter here and there that are difficult to be describe here. Only both of us know, right jie? ^_^)

I arrived back to my college yesterday night. Curious what I brought back? See the pictures below…

My beg was filled with 4 containers of cookies, 1 pack of coco crunch, a bed sheet, a blanket, 2 shirts and etc.

I was also carrying a plastic beg filled with Munchy’s Oat Krunch and 10 packets of Dutch Lady Full Cream Milk.

This was how my shelf look like before putting all the cookies and foods in it.

And this is how it look like after putting all my things in it. I guess the mood of Chinese New Year is still in me. :-)
