Infation within 2%???

I was watching 8TV news and our Bank Negara Governor Dr Zeti mentioned that Malaysia inflation rate will maintain within 2% and still within control. Sometime I am really wondering how do they compute the inflation rate.. In view that almost everything has increase for more than 5-10%. Some of the daily comsume item even increase by 30-50%. But our government still can easily say that our inflation rate is still low.. can anyone tell me why??

Resignation finally

The day has come, this is the second I tender my resignation in Dell, wondering will there be 3rd time. The feeling was not good before I officially pass the letter to my boss, however, I have decided to do it. First of all, I email him on my intention to tender my resignation. Guess how does he responded? ... He sent me with the following instant message
Boss:"What's wrong?"
Boss: "I can't believe it you guys are leaving one after another"..
Me: "Sorry boss, it is a hard decision"
Boss: " Let's find a time to talk today"
Me: "Ok"
So by 3pm, he called me to go up and look for him, we looked for a meeting room and proceed with our usual conversation. He asked me why I want to leave? Is there anything he can do to make me stay.. Of coz I told him that, I am very firm this round.. I will be going.. So he ask if I am going due to better prospect? or simply becoz I dun like the people or work here? hehe.. I really hate to be honest.. :P However, I told him " the team is ok", Just I am looking for migrating to Australia. This is something Dell cannot offer me... To my surprise, my boss actually ask me, what if I can offer you to work in our Sydney office? Would you consider staying?? Haha.. what should I say?? I was blank when he prompted me with this question.. The next thing I know.. I told him, I would definitely consider.. Well, he tooks it and told me he is going to talk to my director during the night meeting and bring up to Vice President for approval on my relocation.. This really shock me, as I never expect he will come out with this type of response. I thought he will just let me go.. haha...

However, it is too early to say anything, I shall see how it goes, first of all, the VP must really approve for the thing to happend, secondly, even if they really offer me to relocate to Sydney, I still must see if the package is up to the market standard right? hehe.. Whatever it is, Wish me luck :)

Tough decision

It has been a month with preparation for our move to a totally stranger land :P many concern start to surface.. My younger sister is still yet to get her PR.. we are thinking hard on way to bring her along.. unfortunately it is simply beyond our ability to make it happend fast, so we have have come out an idea.. to bring her along to study in Australia.. that way.. she can be in Australia almost immediately.. my mom will be less worry about leaving her alone here in Penang.
However, upon checking with the Australian education agency in Penang, we found that the school fee will cost us about AUD17K per year, so it is a AUD34K investment. I have gone up to have a chat session with my migration, he is kind of surprise that we would like to attempt this, as he thinks that it is too expensive to do so, he advise my younger sister to look for a migratable job and work for a year then apply for the PR instead. I nevertheless convey the meessage to my elder sister to discuss with my younger sister... Of coz as expected she responsed with her unsatisfaction, she thinks that we have promise to bring her along and study there. We did try to explore on the possibility, but frankly the cost involved is just simply too high to bare. I know it will be tough for her to work alone in Penang with all the family members in Australia. However, at the present it seems to be the best decision for her future and most affordable method. What do you think?

世界上最遥远的距离

世界上最远的距离 - 转载

世界上最遥远的距离
The Farthest Distance in the World

世界上最遥远的距离不是
生与死的距离而是
我站在你面前你不知道我爱你
The farthest distance in the worldIs not the distance between life and death
But you don't know
I love you when I stand in front of you

世界上最遥远的距离不是
我站在你面前
你不知道我爱你而是
爱到痴迷 却不能说我爱你
The farthest distance in the worldIs not you don't know I love you when I stand in front of youBut I cannot say I love you when I love you so madly

世界上最遥远的距离不是
爱到痴迷 却不能说我爱你而是
想你痛彻心扉 却只能深埋心底
The farthest distance in the worldIs not I cannot say I love you when I love you so madlyBut I can only bury it in my heart dispite the unbearable yearning

世界上最遥远的距离不是
想你痛彻心扉
却只能深埋心底而是
彼此相爱 却不能够在一起
The farthest distance in the worldIs not I can only bury it in my heart dispite the unbearable yearningBut we cannot be together when we love each other

世界上最遥远的距离不是 彼此相爱
却不能够在一起而是 明知道真爱无敌 却装作毫不在意
The farthest distance in the worldIs not we cannot be together when we love each otherBut we pretend caring nothing even we know love is unconquerable

世界上最遥远的距离不是 树与树的距离而是 同根生长的树枝 却无法在风中相依
The farthest distance in the worldIs not the distance between two treesBut the branches cannot depend on each other in wind even they grow from the same root

世界上最遥远的距离不是 树枝无法相依而是 相互了望的星星 却没有交汇的轨迹
The farthest distance in the worldIs not the braches cannot depend on each otherBut two stars cannot meet even they watch each other

世界上最遥远的距离不是 星星之间的轨迹而是 纵然轨迹交汇 却在转瞬间无处寻觅
The farthest distance in the worldIs not the track between two starsBut nowhere to search in a tick after two tracks join

世界上最遥远的距离不是 瞬间便无处寻觅而是 尚未相遇 便注定无法相聚
The farthest distance in the worldIs not nowhere to search in a tickBut doomed not to be together before they meet

世界上最遥远的距离是鱼与飞鸟的距离一个在天 一个却深潜海底
The farthest distance in the worldIs the distance between fish and bird One is in the sky, another is in the sea-

泰戈尔 - (1861 - 1941 / India)-Rabindranath Tagore- (1861 - 1941 / India)在网上找到这个说明,有谁可以告诉我答案。。。‘这首诗不是泰戈尔的作品。

第一段出自香港知名女作家张小娴的小说《荷包里的单人床》。原文是:“ 世界上最遥远的距离,不是生与死的距离,不是天各一方,而是,我就站在你面前,你却不知道我爱你。”

从第二段开始,是台湾网友——阳明神农坡医学院的一些同学在BBS中集体创作的。由于《读者》杂志2003年第14期上引用了此诗,但由于编辑没有详细考证,误署名成泰戈尔,因而造成广大读者以为是印度诗人所作。其实不然,这首诗完全是网络时代的产物!’

Worth $4 Million -- and Unable to Retire

Commentary: Worth $4 Million -- and Unable to Retire

by Carrie Coghill Kuntz
Thursday, October 11, 2007 provided by

I got a call from a newly "rich" executive. Having worked 60-hour weeks for years and now ready to retire at 55, he sold his business for $4 million. He was ready to live out his dream life and live off that tidy nest egg. The problem is, to do so--on $4 million--he must cut his standard of living.

It's the plight of the "mMillionaire" -- the middle-class Millionaire.
Mansions and yachts are out. The mMillionaires who want to retire before age 65 or 72, find they must live in three- and four-bedroom homes and drive mid-priced four-door sedans and mini-vans.

They are your neighbors--millionaires who live middle-class lifestyles even though they may have millions in liquid assets.

These mMillionaires have between $2 million and $10 million of investable assets, beyond their homes. Many have sold businesses or inherited money, yet few believe they can retire and continue living the high life.

The key question facing the mMillionaire is, "Can I continue to live the way I am living for the rest of my life?" The answer for most of these millionaires is "no."
Just a generation ago, a person with $2 million or more in liquid assets would have had enough for a secure retirement. But not today. Combine longer life expectancies and the rising costs of health care, food, transportation and property, and you have financial challenges ahead for the mMillionaire.

When Social Security was passed 72 years ago, life expectancy was less than 70. Now it's well above that and may continue to rise with advances in medical treatment. As a result, the mMillionaires in this high net worth class are finding they must scale back their lifestyles or delay retirement. That's something most of them, who are high-earners today, can't imagine.
For many of the executives and mMillionaires that I speak with everyday, this comes as a shock. Often their biggest obstacle is changing their own attitudes about what their wealth can afford them. Some are reluctant to embrace projections about their nest eggs' staying power. They believe that lower expenses in retirement will offset inflation and lost income.

Even with no mortgage or tuition payments, many mMillionaires underestimate the effects of inflation, especially on the cost of health care services for the aging.

We find that people don't always want to confront bad news. There's no question that more people are accumulating wealth at an unprecedented rate. They're living the good life, banking on retiring when they want to and continuing that quality through retirement. What they haven't counted on is that retirement can be a 40-year experience and that conditions can change drastically. In fact, in about 30 years, people will need more than $2 million to equal the purchasing power of $1 million today.

Many mMillionaires who are used to running businesses or managing others often want very specific answers on how to manage their middle-class millionaire status. Unfortunately, there's no formula for long-term financial security. Everyone's needs vary.

But, there are certain principles that can guide the mMillionaire's actions. If you are an mMillionaire, congratulations, but there are still a number of things you should keep in mind--ranging from managing your tax liabilities, to taking a really critical look at your investment portfolio (are you too heavily in tech stocks or consumer durables?), and of course guarding your estate, the nest egg you will leave behind.

男人像狗,女人像猫。

男人像狗,女人像猫。
狗想要得到什么的时候,就会狂叫,这叫直白,像男人;
猫想要得到什么的时候,就会撒娇,这叫委婉,像女人;
狗不能总关着,越关越想往外跑,不如把它放出去,等他玩够了...  

婚姻是一个不断呵护、建设、更新的过程,好的婚姻是有一定规则的。
如果能够遵守婚姻规则办事,就能够使婚姻保持生机。
如果不能遵守婚姻规则,即使基础再好的婚姻,也有可能被摧毁。

三大民族和谐共处的天大谎言

马来西亚经常吹嘘我们的“三大民族和谐共处”,实际上在马来西亚的华、印同胞,每一天都是生活在“特权”打压阴影下。贪得无厌的特权分子已经把魔爪伸向每一个领域,包括华小文具供应也要交由马来人经营。

中国有13亿人口,56个民族,其中汉族坐大,中国立法保护所有的少数民族。

马来西亚有两千八百万人口,马来人坐大占65%,马来西亚立法保护多数民族。

在中国元朝蒙古人统治中国,立法强制10户汉人养一户蒙古人。

在马来人特权的框架下,马来西亚的华人变相的一户华人养10户马来人。

马来西亚三大民族和谐共处?天大笑话!华人在马来西亚犹如童养媳,夸言代表华社的马华公会领袖,成天哈腰打鞠讨巫统主子的欢心。寄望马华公会为华人争取权利?发你的白日梦吧!

职场的黑暗面

职场的黑暗, 以前都从电影中看到..从朋友口中得知. 工作了十二年.. 第一次亲身体验职场的黑暗面.. 还真的有点接受不来.. 首先我明白到自己在职场打滚了十二年为什么还是两袖清风..嘿嘿.. 都只因为自己太耿直.. 原来那些所谓的高层.. 都是些下三滥的家伙..都是利用他们在职场上权利, 替供应商给个方便而获得好处..

更恐怖的是当他们的丑事东窗事发.. 他们可以发起"共同"贪污运动而找个替死鬼.. 我的一个同事既然是他们的替死鬼..实在为她不值..

马来西亚 BOLEH 吗?

又是一个无聊的星期六.. 最近都在为了澳洲移民之事而烦..马来西亚的治安已经到了岌岌可危的地步.. 可是那些政治人物..还可以空口说瞎话.. 说是媒体过分渲染.. 政治始终是政治.. 他们宁可把精神放在一个把马来西亚的现况"唱" 出的人大费周章.. 也不宁愿对现今的治安找出个方案..

老实说.. 我对马来西亚政府.. 已经没有"期望" 但是.. 要到一个完全陌生的地方重新开始.. 难免会有所忧心.. 还好.. 我们一家的"枪口一致" 大家都认为"移民" 为上上之策.. 只是有点担心老妈子.. 不知她是否喜欢.. 我知道她不会说不.. 因为她都以我们的决定为大前提...

其实也没什么好怀念的.. 也不是说在马来西亚有什么大成就.. 嘿嘿.. 算了吧.. 还是好好的准备就绪..

澳洲.. 我来也!

Decision Point

In life, many time we need to make decision, decision that might deeply impact our next stage in life, decision that may affect how we live the next 10 years.. Sometime I keep asking myself. Should I just make decision that solely from my point of view? Or should I take others into consideration?

I understand that nobody in this world will treat you better then yourself. So should I just make decision solely based on my own thinking?

life is full of choice

Sometime, it might not be a blessing, if we are giving too much choose, coz in term, we need to make a decision from it. The decision could be a wise one or it could be a completely mess up. It seems that human doesn't appreciate opportunity that is readily available to them. But they will be chasing thing that seems so difficult to get.. Ironic.. isn't it?

换个角度看世界..

有位老師進了教室,在白板上點了一個黑點。 他問班上的學生說:「這是什麼?」 大家都異口同聲說:「一個黑點。」 老師故作驚訝的說:「只有一個黑點嗎?這麼大的白板大家都沒有看見?」

〔默想〕 你看到的是什麼? 每個人身上都有一些缺點,但是你看到的是哪些呢? 是否只有看到別人身上的”黑點”,卻忽略了他擁有了一大片的白板(優點)?

其實每個人必定有很多的優點,換一個角度去看吧!你會有更多新的發現。

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

有二個婦人在聊天,其中一個問道:
「你兒子還好吧?」
「別提了,真是不幸哦!」這個婦人歎息道:
「他實在夠可憐,娶個媳婦懶的要命,不燒飯、不掃地、不洗衣服、
不帶孩子,整天就是睡覺,我兒子還要端早餐到她的床上呢!」

「那女兒呢?」
「那她可就好命了。」婦人滿臉笑容:
「他嫁了一個不錯的丈夫,不讓他做家事,全部都由先生一手包辦,
煮飯、洗衣、掃地、帶孩子,而且每天早上還端早點到床上給她吃呢!」

〔默想〕 同樣的狀況,但是當我們從我的角度去看時,就會產生不同的心態。 站在別人的立場看一看,或換個角度想一想, 很多事就不一樣了,你可以有更大的包容,也會有更多的愛。

無罣礙

以美好的心,欣賞週遭的事務
以真誠的心,對待一切人事物
以負責的心,做好份內的事
以謙虛的心,檢討自己的錯誤
以愉悅的心,分享他人的快樂
以喜捨的心,幫助需要幫助的人
以不變的心,堅持正確的理念
以寬闊的心,包容對不起自己的人
以感恩的心,感謝所擁有的一切
以無私的心,傳承成功的經驗
以平常的心,接受已發生的事實
以放下的心,面對最難的割捨

堅持自己的價值




堅持自己的價值



悟往者不可諫,知來者猶可追

有一個出家弟子跑去請教一位很有智慧的師父,他跟在師父的身邊,

天天問同樣的問題:「師父啊,什麼是人生真正的價值?」問得師父煩透了。

有一天,師父從房間拿出一塊石頭,對他說:「你把這塊石頭,

拿到市場去賣,但不要真的賣掉,只要有人出價就好了,

看看市場的人,出多少錢買這塊石頭?」

弟子就帶著石頭到市場,有的人說這塊石頭很大,很好看,

就出價兩塊錢;有人說這塊石頭,可以做稱鉈,出價10塊錢。

結果大家七嘴八舌,最高也只出到十塊錢。

弟子很開心的回去,告訴師父:「這塊沒用的石頭,

還可以賣到十塊錢,真該把它賣了。」

師父說:「先不要賣,再把它拿去黃金市場賣賣看,也不要真的賣掉。」

弟子就把這石頭,拿去黃金市場賣,一開始就有人出價1千塊,

第二個人出1萬塊,最後被出到10萬元。弟子興沖沖跑回去,

向師父報告這不可思議的結果。

師父對他說:「把石頭拿去最貴、最高級的珠寶商場去估價。」弟子就去了。

第一個人開價就是10萬,但他不賣,於是20萬,30萬,

一直加到後來對方生氣了,要他自己出價。

他對買家說,師父不許他賣,就把石頭帶了回去,

對師父說:「這塊石頭居然被出價到數十萬。」

師父說:「是呀!我現在不能教你人生的價值,

因為你一直在用市場的眼光在看待你的人生。

人生的價值,應該是一個人心中,先有了最好的珠寶商的眼光,

才可以看到真正的人生價值。」

我們的價值,不在於外面的評價,而是在我們給自己的定價。

我們每一個人的價值,都是絕對的。

堅持自己崇高的價值,接納自己,勉勵自己。

給自己成長的空間,我們每個人都能成為「無價之寶」。

生命中的每個挫折、每個傷痛、每個打擊,都有它的意義。

您自己的價值呢?

往者不可谏, 来者尤可追

人生苦短.. 凡事岂能尽如人意.. 但求无愧于心..

不一样的星期六...

又是星期六, 一切如常.. 不过在读了公司的email之后... 心情一百八十度的转变. 今年的花红落空了.. 不过..这是不是一个启示呢?打工一组.. 期盼的不过是一年一度的花红.. 在农历新年的前夕, 总裁竟然公布今年花红落空了... 说明了打工一组的可悲.. 一切都不能掌握在自己的手中.. 究竟什么才是出路呢?
