Routine

My life has been kinda mundane I feel. Luckily I can look forward to my all expenses paid trip to Australia in late April. All thanks to Marie Callas!

I would spend my time with the same shit over and over again and the beginning of the day starts with the same morning alarm at 6.30am, sometimes even earlier if I wish to avoid the predictable jams. Had some songs from the radio, morning shower and taking cranking up my old trusted car to the work place.

As for my work, I really need to run about different site installations. It's tiring because of the hot weather. Sometimes I do miss the cool office environment but I don't stay long there. Sometimes, if work requires night installation, I'd need to stay awake till early morning next day too.

This is not dissatisfaction with life. It's just a way to let loose of myself. I still have the blessings from Marie Callas.

The 'Great Book'.

Marie Callas' The Great Books of Secrets that I have bought has really showed me many secrets on how to achieve luck, love, health, vitality and general well-being. There are many rituals that can be performed to improve the conditions of your being and I'm quite spell-bound by what the book reveals. Right now, I'm still reading and understanding the profound meanings of the book. I think it's all worth the money paid for. People are asking how to improve their lucks all the time so this book is really their answer!

I'm thinking which ritual I shall practise first but I would need to set up a personal sacred space so that the spiritual energy accumulation will be more beneficial to me as suggested by Marie Callas. The book says set up a small area in the house but how am I going to tell my family about it? My traditional parents are pious in Chinese gods and deities and they will think I clash with their ideologies. Maybe I should set up one in my own room?

Reading more through the book, Marie Callas says that it is okay to have a temporary space and the most important thing is to have the right psychic and mental attitude. I'm figuring out the true meaning of this sentence now.

I 'skyped' last night

Have you heard of Skype? I'm sure many know about it. It's a popular VoIP software that allows you to make long distance calls. Last night I 'skyped' with my sister in Australia for more than half an hour and I'm happy with its ability. While not as perfect as fixed overseas line call, it's almost there in terms of performance. Occasionally there will be some short breaks but that should be due to my broadband not being fast enough. The voice sounds a bit metallic but that's fine too! It saves me $$$ and we are happy with it!

Car consideration

Since my current car is quite old and some more it nearly met an accident over the weekend, I seriously about thinking of changing to a new car with better stakes in providing safety I guess. I've long been wanting to change it since some time last year.

Well, I heard from my colleague that Iswara Aeroback is selling at RM26,999 all in. The price is within my means and I hope to get it it a test drive. My ideal one will be a small car as it is easier to be parked. However, another friend said that local car is not durable and the trouble will come after 4 to 5 years. Well, that's far dowb the road and maybe I'd be driving some imported foreign cars then.

I like this new regulation

After the shock I had on saturday, I really welcome this move by the Road Transport Department. It will only implement from this October but I wish it can be earlier. I hope motorists here can cherish their precious lives. There are simply too many fatalities and there's a rogue culture among many drivers here that it is cowardly to give way to others.

In this new curriculum, learner drivers must show they have acquired defensive driving skills before they can qualify for a driving licence. Defensive driving would also include educating motorists to make way for pedestrians.

I fully welcome this move and even suggest the department to send drivers with poor records for 're-certification'.

Lucky Saturday

Today is Sunday and I count myself lucky to be here blogging rather than lying in the hospital! As you know, the traffic here is notorious for it's accident rate and this is something I've always very apprehensive. It is for this reason I'm extremely careful when I'm behind the wheels, but you just need someone careless to screw you up.

Yesterday I was driving along NE Highway fetching my parents to a relative's house and we were at this 300km stretch near UPM exit when suddenly this motorcycle which was apparently in the left side blind spot suddenly accelerated and CUT across my cruising car from middle lane to the left lane! I was forced to brake abruptly and my car just swerved to the road shoulder! Maybe my skill is not good but it's the motocyclist's fault. Luckily there were no other vehicles in vicinity at the time in the left lane, if not....... My parents were shocked obviously but they managed to steady themselves.

Weekend's here again!

Yesterday I mentioned something about politicians might view blogs as threats and the next day there's a local politician speaking about this topic, as reported in this article, Be responsible, bloggers urged. Isn't it coincidental? I think bloggers are going to be in spotlight and who knows...... Anyway, I'm not touching about sensitive subjects so there's no worry at all.

Well, on to something more positive, I'm seriously considering changing my old and trusted Proton Wira to something newer and fresher. It's due to a big overhaul as I'm worried about its safety due to massive usage and it's more worth it to get a new one I feel. As I'm quite tight in budget, I guess I will still be shopping for a Malaysia-made car like MyVi or Savvy. Are there any newer models anyone can recommend? I'm looking for one about 1,300cc and I'm not very updated into all the car stuff.

Today is Friday again and I'm glad that weekend is near again! I hope this week there won't have any last minute weekend assignment from the company because it really a sinking feeling!

Bloggers, the unofficial journalists

Sharing with a couple of colleagues during lunch time about blogging, one of the guys said something that is against the conventional view of blogging. He views blogging as 'self-involvement'. We don't speak in English but some mix of different local languages here and I suppose that's what he means. Well, we were not able to go into a serious debate about this topic. My purpose of this blog is of course inspired by Marie Callas and I hope to write some good experience of mine about her right here, and never expected I'd write something this long so far! Isn't it surprising?

Yes, I had read somewhere that riting a blog self-absorbed. I really can't remember where I saw it or read it. But it gets me thinking...

It must be 80% true.

Most bloggers are attention seekers and completely egotistical. They can argue against the whole community just to justify his/her personal viewpoint about certain topic. This often results in cyber bloody flaming wars and personal online vendettas.

On the other hand, the 20% says that blogging brings out armies of unofficial journalists and sometimes these groups are even faster in receiving latest information. They collect ground level information more accurately than mainstream media which may be biased in reporting. That's why some politicians regard bloggers as threats. No politics here though, lol.

Back to the self-absorbed me, since started blogging, I feel that I'm better in analysing the situation and able to dissect matters to look into the innards rather than just blindly accepting what media is throwing at us.

But I don't want to be too logical in thinking because that would mean a sacrifice in the spiritual side of me.

Saw a rainbow

Last evening on my way home after work, I was driving along the expressway and I thought I saw a colourful half circle spanning from the near distant horizon to a hill of forest further. Yes it was a stream of beautiful rainbow. When was the last time I saw one?

It’s not the prettiest rainbow I’ve ever seen defintely, because the air quality is average and it fainted the contrast of the rainbow... but it's the first time I saw something like this near the business of the city.

When I was young, I really loved rainbow. My grandma would cure my curiosity by saying fairies and gods were walking down the rainbow to pick up those 'guai' kids. During those times, the air was so fresh and the rainbows then were really radiant and beautiful. I miss those innocent years. That must be nearly 30 years ago!

Bad weather

The weather has been horrendous last few days. There were a few thunderstorms in the afternoon and all these are affecting my work schedules. I can't do anything about it. It is very dangerous to do anything decent in this type of weather. We are helpless when we come to nature and we can't do anything to prevent it except we do things to spoil it.

In this type of bad weather, the chances of landslide occurrence are strong. I have advised my staff to be careful about it when they go out to site. The construction going on in this country has left many places hazardous of landslides and I don't want tragedies to happen. Since we can't go out, we just got to prepare out works from indoors.

I'm missing this sunday's session.

Later this afternoon (Sunday), I have to make an urgent trip down to the project site because one of the consultants there is showing us an electrical plant that can only be accessed during the offpeak hours and that is on Sunday. I think that is fine with me although I hope they can pre-empt me earlier. This means I'll miss my regular mahjong session on sunday afternoon with some friends. I hope they are happy to hear me absent as most of the time I've won due to my great luck. Thanks for Marie Callas.

Regarding online banking, I'm quite disappointed with the Maybank2u because the speed is slow. Maybe it's weekend and they are doing some database maintenance. I've checked other local sites and my broadband speed is just fine. Luckily the few online transactions went through successfully although I thought it was going to give up at some stage.

For whatever reason, I think they ought to look into this issue and rectify the IT side of it because it really does not show a good image for as a leading national banking institution.

Something to rejoice

Sometimes in life we do things that we will regret.. saying something that we shouldn’t say, doing something that we ain’t supposed to do, eating some shit that is meant as shit only.. and well buying some pieces of craps maybe.

Feeling ecstatic about flying to visit my sister soon in Australia, I went shopping for a digicam at 1Utama.. so many canggih things don’t know what to choose, got low price, high price, cute design, mega functions etc.... I think I will get a 5MP model because the prize and quality are reasonable. I have spotted a slim design from this brand Fujifilm and i like it due to its excellent low light shooting capability.

We should enforce this rule

Government should enforce the rule about wearing the safety belt at car back seats. Too many lives have been implicated because of the lax driving attitude among malaysian drivers.

I'm saying this because I have a friend who died in a car accident a couple of years ago. He was thrown out of the car while seating at the back seat. The driver and passenger at the front only suffered minor injuries, thanks to the safety belt.

If there is one thing that Malaysia is not boleh in, that is the high rate of fatal traffic accidents especially during the festive periods where you find many tragic stories. I think we ought to follow Singapore in enforcing this traffic rule to help save lives. Last time when I travelled to Europe, some countries even enforced wearing seat belts on buses.

Taking up Marie Callas offer

After some consideration, I have decided to take up marie callas latest offer about the book of secrets. She says this book will reveal to me about some of the secrets to luck, health and prosperity. I have some money to spare and it's worth to look into her product again since she has helped me once before.

Recently my job is quite stressful because we are in the midst of a major project. My company is the main contractor for a government project therefore we need to meet up for many project meetings which can stretch for quite late. After reaching home, I'm dead tired. This is a 3 year electrical project and I am one of the electrical engineers for my company and I need to design and evaluate some electrical systems to power this infrastructure that government is building.

Disasters!

In my previous post about year of pig, I said that this year would not be a very auspicious year. Well, do you think astrology is real? Immediately after the chinese new year period ends, our neighbouring country Indonesia was hit by 2 disasters in consecutive days.

First was an 6.3 scale earthquake which I felt the slight tremours even in my working office here inKlang Valley. Many colleagues were shocked too and all run downstairs to avoid the buildings.

The next day, a passenger plane crashed there with big number of casualties. I am sad to here that. Something strong is definitely brewing in the spiritual realm this year.
