We started our practise around 10am and finished at around 11.45am. After that we went for our makan-makan for Shark meat.

After that we went to get some "Mo Fa Kuo" at the padi plantation and as usual we went to fish market to buy some fresh fish.

Spending Time with our young children is Love

Spending Time with our young children is Love.
Practically all parents consider their children as their most important asset.
So we send them for additional lessons in music, art, computer, speech and drama, dance, ballet, tennis, etc.
We also buy for them expensive toys, computer games, etc. to keep them occupied. We think that by doing so we are giving them a head start in life.
But we seldom stop to ask ourselves whether we have equipped them for a life of self-worth and confidence. Why do I say that?
It has been said that by the time a child is seven years old; his attitude is set for life. And when our young child constantly pelts us with his questions, (and we are hard pressed by our furiously competitive jobs) how do we normally respond?
Have we stopped and reflected on our attitude towards his insatiable questioning?
Now consider for a moment, a child coming into a room to ask Dad or Mom questions or to invite Mom or Dad to play with him or to request spending time with Dad or Mom, but the parent frequently says, “I’m too busy now.” What does that signal to the child?
To the child the message is perceived as. “To Dad, I’m not as important as the newspaper he is reading or the time he spends doing his work at the computer. To Mom, I’m not worth as much as her soap opera on television.”
We forget that children rarely want to spend much time in conversation with their parents. Yes, they ask lots of questions and when they get the answers, they then move on to the next thing that captures their attention.
They may sit close a while, perhaps give or receive a hug, and then they are off.
If you are a parent, I would encourage you to make time for your child when your child needs a moment.
Most chores can be postponed for a few seconds or minutes.
Most activities can be interrupted without you suffering harm or losing out on important information.
If you must delay your response to your child for a minute or two, call your child to your side and put your arm around him so that you convey the message, “I want you close to me. I like being with you. I’m not rejecting you, merely delaying my response to your question for a few moments.”
We don’t think of the harm we are doing to their adult life when we fail to give them the time they need. Imagine what it is like whenever we go and talk to our boss and our boss frequently has no time for us. Our confidence will be shattered and our self-worth will plunge drastically.
What about the child when we unthinkingly do the same?
Have we spent time reflecting on this?
Have I unconsciously sent a message to my child that might be summed up, “What I want to do is vastly more important than whatever pain I cause you.”
This message will be internalized by the child as “I am not worth being around” “I am not worthy to be appreciated and noticed” and it will show up later in his life as a lack of self-worth.
Parents, who make time to informally tutor their child and not scold them whenever the child asks question, will give the child a very strong sense of self-identity and self-worth. They affirm their child. They give their attention to their child.
They acknowledge to the child that he is important and worth listening to. The child will have this intuitive sense that, “I am important to my parents. I am so important that they want the very best for me, including the very best education they believe they can give to me. I am so important that they are willing to spend time and energy with me.
My parents believe I have the ability to learn and are willing to teach me, and therefore, I must be able to learn well.” A cycle is created: the child is encouraged, the child feels worthy, and the child makes an even bigger effort in learning as a result of the feelings of self-worth. So the child achieves more and learns more.
Through his accomplishments and the resulting praises and cheers from the parents, the child has an enhanced feeling of self-worth and the cycle goes round again.
Unfortunately today, we have a mantra that many parents repeat by saying, “I spend quality time with my child and I don’t need quantity time with my child.” They delude themselves! A child, who often does not feel he has access to his parents when he needs the access, does not feel he is loved.
He will feel ignored, shunned, insecure and of less worth. Such a child will inevitably have problem with his sense of self-worth later on in life.
The essence of our love for our children is not what we provide for them, but how much we give of ourselves to them. Men, in particular, often don’t understand this. Many have said, “I don’t understand my children. I provide them with everything they need. They don’t appreciate my hard work for them.
What more do they want?” They want you! Your ears, your attention, your presence--- Yes your time. “What that must be a joke. Where do I find the time in my stressful life?” you say.
Your most precious gift is your time. Only when you give up your (leisure, computer, game, social, TV, etc) time, do you truly prove your love for your children.
Whenever you give your time, you are making a sacrifice, and sacrifice is the essence of love. Thus, you show your love in action and not in words only.

Meaningful.....Love

To My Friends Who Are............SINGLE
Love is like a butterfly.
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But, if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it.
Love can make you happy but often it hurts, but love's only special when you give it to someone who is really worth it.
So take your time and choose the best.

To My Friends Who Are............NOT SO SINGLE
Love isn't about becoming somebody else's 'perfect person.'
It's about finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be.

To My Friends Who Are............PLAYBOY/GIRL TYPE
Never say 'I love you' if you don't care.
Never talk about feelings if they aren't there.
Never touch a life if you mean to break a heart.
Never look in the eye when all you do is lie.
The cruelest thing a guy can do to a girl is to let her fall in love when he doesn't intend to catch her fall and it works … both ways...

To My Friends Who Are.............MARRIED
Love is not about 'it's your fault', but 'I'm sorry.
' Not 'where are you', but 'I'm right here.
' Not 'how could you', but 'I understand.
' Not 'I wish you were', but 'I'm thankful you are.'

To My Friends Who Are............ENGAGED
The true measure of compatibility is not the years spent together but how good you are for each other.

To My Friends Who Are............HEARTBROKEN
Heartbreaks last as long as you want and cut as deep as you allow them to go. The challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them.

To My Friends Who Are............NAIVE
How to be in love:
Fall but don't stumble,
be consistent but not too persistent,
share and never be unfair,
understand and try not to demand,
and get hurt but never keep the pain.

To My Friends Who Are.............POSSESSIVE
It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy with someone else but it's more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy with you.

To My Friends Who Are.............AFRAID TO CONFESS
Love hurts when you break up with someone.
It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you.
But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how you feel.

To My Friends Who Are.............STILL HOLDING ON
A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall in love, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it.
If he isn't worth it now he's not ' going to be worth it a year or 10 years from now. Let go.....

TO ALL MY FRIENDS........
My wish for you is a man/women whose love is honest, strong, mature, never-changing, uplifting, protective, encouraging, rewarding and unselfish

Dancing In The Dark In Support For Earth Hour

Last Saturday, 28 March 2009, we had our dance practice like usual. However it was a special session. We have turned the light off from 8.30PM TO 9.30PM in support for the worldwide energy conservation effort- Earth Hour.

Initially, we thought of illuminating the hall with candlelight. But we have to turn off the fan to prevent the candlelight from flickering. For only 5 minutes, all of us were feeling rather uneasy as the hall was dim lit and we couldn't stand the stuffiness.

Gradually one by one took their place at the entrance area. With the help of street lights, we find it much pleasant and certainly it was much cooler dancing at the outdoor.

It was indeed challenging to dance in the dark as we were unable to "peep" at the dance steps of our team members. So all have to rely on our own memory to recall the steps.

Though it was only a short one hour, it was indeed a memorable experience. At least we have made an effort to support the call for action. If at all you believe in reincarnation and that you probably would be coming back to this world again many years later, you wouldn' want to be caught as the victim of global warming.



Was the husband and wife team found it more romantic to coach each other in the dark?





The one and only lamp post outside the building did a big job.







Dimly lit area didn't dampen the spirit at all.

Natural remedy for Dry Cough

I have found a good remedy for dry cough from the internet and which I try it myself yesterday night and it did help a lot as for the first time of the night I did not cough at all.

The ingredient are very simple, just lemon and pure honey.


1) Cut the Lemon, put it in jar and pour in the honey together.


2) Mixed it well and put it aside for future use (preferable store it in the fridge).


3) Take two table spoon evertime you feel itch on your throat or you feel like coughing.
