@ Hong Kong & Malaysia Home Coming King

First of all, I must say a big "sorry" to all my readers. Sorry very muchie! There's 2 reasons why I did not update my blog for quite a long time:

1) My backdoor in China should be going to die off liao. I am afraid I might not even get to keep myself update with you guys in the future. T____T

2) I was very busy with Hong Kong's stuffs after I came back so until now, only I get to update a little bit.

Now back to the story. Back then in September, I went to Hong Kong to participate in Hong Kong Jewelry Exhibition September 2009 in Asia World Expo (AWE in short). This exhibition is tremendously HUGE! It is the first time I participated in event that is THAT HUGE! Over thousands of exhibitors and tens of thousands of visitors visited!

I am expecting good weather plus lots of photoshooting. I hope.

I'm A Papa Of Two!

Today, I received an email from a familiar name in my Outlook. It was from the WorldVision. I don't know how to express my excitment with words but, I too, seeing hope in these children's future.

WorldVision sent me pictures of my children and a brief details on them. I am now, a father of 2, one male, and one female. Let's move on on the introduction.

Click to enlarge to see my children

Let's start off with Magana, my female child from Thushalusaka, South Africa. She's 9 years old and currently in her first grade. Life skills is her favourite subject in school. She only have her mother, 2 brothers and a sister. Her father's status is unknown. Her mom was unemployed and it means a lot of burden to raise 4 kids.

Next, I have Davulla, my male child from Arpana, India. Davulla is 12 years old and currently studying in 8th grade. He is much more lucky compared to Magana because, he have his father and mother, both employed, together with another sister in the family. He likes Local Language most in school.

As we can see from these children's eyes, I can feel that they are trying, really hard to reach out for something. And I believe, we, can give them this something. It may not happen now, but that something could come in in 5 years, 10 years, or even 15 years! Now that I see them, I had no regret in sponsoring them as my children. If I have the ability, I would sponsor as many of them as I can! The question is, would you like to do your part too? It doesn't mean that you must sponsor a child and so, NO. Your help spreading the words will help to build a better world too!

FYI, we donors, are NOT ENCOURANGE to choose which child we would like to sponsor. That way, WorldVision will be able to ensure that every children gets equal share of help form the world. I'm a Buddhist and I believe in karma. I believe, these children, might had helped me out in my previous lifes and it's my turn, to help them back. Even if you are not Buddhist, I believe, your religion, too, encourage you to help out the others whenever you can, right?

I'm now a papa of two!


p/s: I would like to send gifts to these kids but, there are rules. First, it cannot be expensive. Secondly, it MUST only be able to fit into a A4 envelope. Besides than sending pictures, any other things I might be able to give them as gifts? Please advise!

Are These Male Or Female?

I received a call today, asking me to attend a meeting with the local government and a few other authorities. All the FOREIGNERS must attend. Even I'm considered as foreigners. T_T

You know, in the States, Europe, and many other places we have China Town. In China, they already got their Japan Town, Korea Town and now, they are trying to do an India Town here in WuZhou.

I was having my meeting here

FYI, one of the WuZhou's main economy activity is jewelry. And many many Indians come from India and do business here and that is why, they wanted to have this India Town. Well, basically this meeting had got no concern with me from MALAYSIA but, I stayed on. Later on, only I realised that these Chinese had got some communication problems with the Indians and hence, I am becoming the translator.

I feel proud today. Hahaha! Now, here's the thing I want to let you guys see!

See these 2 pictures below.

Do you know that these statues, also got male and female? Try guessing, which is male, which is female?














Look closely again.

















Here's the answer.

Did you get it right? XD

The Best Sword In China

By looking at the thumbnail, you might not want to see it already BUT, let me re-assure you, I think that this is really interesting. I did not expect the editor to make it that good!


It is not a noob production after all. Ang Lee SHOULD HAVE put this into this movie then he can draw more StarWars fans.

What Does RM 1.67 Means To You?

Have you ever wonder, how much are you spending your money on daily basis? How much do you eat per meal? Especially those who always visit Starbucks, fast food joints, Chilis, TGIF, RM 30 and above?

Now, for a simple RM 1.67 daily, you can actually help out a community to build their environment, and give them hope in 10 - 15 years to come.

With this RM 1.67 daily (RM 50 per month), you can actually help by giving them these few things:

1. Clean Water: Clean water and sanitation can cut child death by half. World Vision drills wells, protects water sources and installs piping system.


2. Health Care: World Vision provides prenatal and natal care, children's vaccination and treatment, HIV/AIDS awareness and counselling sessions, and training for health workers/parents to recognise and treat illness.


3. Food & Agriculture: World Vision provides seeds, tools and training so that the community can secure its own food supply, cutting death rate by another half.


4. Education: Education is critical to your sponsored child's future. World Vision helps the community to build schools and train teachers.


5. Economic Development: In poor communities, children are often pulled out of schools to help support the family. By teaching parents how to earn a stable income, children get to stay in school. World Vision does this by providing micro loans, and income generating skills training.

Click here to know more about World Vision.

World Vision provides you with 2 different options to choose from. One is RM 50 whereby you sponsor a child, and the other one is RM 80, whereby you sponsor the child, as well as help preventing the spreading of HIV and AIDS, on different intervals (monthly, quaterly, half yearly, annually).

Today, I had finally made up my mind, and I sponsored 2 children. Payments can be done via credit cards, direct bank in, as well as Wang Pos. If you feel like you want to sponsor a child, try clicking this link. It don't even cost you a cent, just a click!

Some of us had been born with a silver spoon in the mouth while some of us, gone through the hard way just like the rest from all over the world. We had worked, we had failed, we had got up and strike again, and we are who we are now. We are in a better environment compared to them.

What does RM 1.67 means to you? A Roti Telur? 2 Roti Canais? For these children, your daily RM 1.67 means FUTURE to them. A future whereby, they can grow up as healthy as us, where they can start to explore more of the world with us! It's a future for them. For the world.

Are you ready to donate? If you don't, it's okay. Spreading the words helps too! Or, if you would like to, try becoming a volunteer in World Visions's programmes.
