I have always been a fool. Am i? Thinking that a friend might be dependable and workable, but when ideas and beliefs are far different, conflicts shown. Well, i am not going to tell you about the details of the story that i have just encountered very recently. To all my students or other bloggers, i have learned a very beautiful lesson. First of all, never solely believe in someone. Secondly, get the real picture of whatever stuff before you say yes. Thirdly, be a responsible man even if you are in a critical situation. Fourthly, when you believe in what you are doing is correct, there are people who say yes and there are people who say no. But, if you think what you do is beneficial although any decision cant meet everyone's needs, never mind... LIsten to those who say YES and move on. Last but not least, no one grows stronger without mistakes and challenges. Ladies and gentlemen, use what you have, do what you can. Cheers!

HOW TOUCH HAVE YOU EVER BEEN EXPERIENCED?
There are various types of human beings in this globe. Life would be real fun and meaningful if everyone would be wonderful. Letting out the kind heart and throw away the despicable mask.
Well, this world is filled with mixed souls regardless the religions, races, colors or smells. Frankly speaking, no one is perfect and it goes without saying that i am no exception. But, honestly, i will always try to be a good person, a good son to parents, a good brother to brothers and sisters, a good student to lecturers and lecturers, a good teacher to students. Anyway, i still have my mistakes! Now, are you better than i?
I have heard and read about a number of touching stories that really touched me deeply. The tears would be rolling in my eyes but they never fall down. I have a typical thinking which is "Men don't cry". But, it doesnt mean i am a man without feelings. I do have, it is just that i seldom show them on my face.
Listening and reading the touching stories are totally and absolutely different from what you really have experienced. A picture tells thousand words! A true heart from someone to a person is valuable and priceless. Words are just too limited to express something sometimes during the particular situation and particular condition.
Yesterday, i received an Ang Pow from 1st sis. At first, i thought she gave it wrongly to me because it was RM500. Then, when Cherry asked her. She said "No ah, it is for Min Soon". Now, you might be wondering and very being very curious to know the reason behind it. I am not very sure, but i guess 1st Sis wants to help me with my studies expenses. First time receiving Big Angpow, i was really shocked and touched. I was speechless and expressionless, my heart kept telling me that i need to reapy her kindness...
I have asked Cherry to save the money for me for rainy days. I think i will not use the money unless i really need it urgently. Most probably, i will give the money back to 1st Sis when she wants to start her business in near future. The money is small thing, the most important is the kinship and the heart to help each other without counting even 1 sen. I believe, "Blood is thicker than water" and kinship is undoubtedly vital expecially the good ones when you have fortunately discovered.
I count myself lucky for having lots of kins who will lend a helping hand when i am down and share the happiness for whatever i have achieved. Am i a fortunate man? Yes, of course i am:-)
Ladies and Gentlemen who read this blog, i am not a good writer who can touch you by writing. But, deep down inside my heart and soul. This article is real and it had touched my nerves, sinew and tissues!
A world with true heart. Just true!
Million thanks to my 1st sis
Regards,
Alex

CHINESE NEW YEAR 2009
Many people nowadays cannot feel the real scenario of chinese new year! It has been lost, not totally but most of it. I still remember when i was young, i used to play fireworks and police would not bother about it. But, times have changed!
Now, it is difficult for us to play it without worrying to be caught! Ladies and gentlemen, the atmosphere duirng Chinese New Year is no longer that "shiok". Anyway, it is the precious time for the family members to be togather coming from all parts of the country. It is heart warming to be like one having the reunion dinner where laughter from everyone can be heard and remembered.
Besides, there are lots of food and drinks to be enjoyed! Good, i love them. Wait.. will i gain weight after this? Sure... BUT.. Never mind, once in a blue moon is all right. Haha
Happy New YeAR to everyone:-)

Goodbye to my Dog "Baby"
My gf and i bought a puppy in Kl at one of the pet shops near Petaling Street. It was November of 2007. We bought him a yellow box and we carried him on the Metro bus all the way from Kota Raya to Serdang.
He vomitted a few times on cherry's shoulder because it was his first time experiencing the shaking of the vehicle running on the road. We cleared his mouth and Cherry cleaned her cloth by the time we reached Serdang at my hostel.
Then, we went back to Yong Peng, bringing him back to his first home. We were having great time playing with this little naughty boy. It was very cute. The reasons that we bought him were because it was one of the cheapest dogs there, besides, he was very charming and active. Well, He looked like a bear when he stood up. lol
We reared him at the back room of the tuition centre. Ceiling fan was on all the time to make sure that he was comfortable. At first, he would urine and shit anywhere he liked. He loved to bite whatever stuff like cloth, shoes and so on. Most importantly, he loved to bite people hardly using his white fang.
The moment when we put him into his cage. Barking was his first alternative. His voice was very loud and sharp. When i shouted at him, he would not keep quiet. He would bark back to me. lol
It was great when we took him out for jogging. We would drag by him, he would be the one who led. Well, but, most of the time i would control him to the way i wanted. Baby would be very delighted the moment he saw us taking the belt. Cos he knew that we would bring him out.
Actually, i am very sorry for this dog because i seldom took him out. Cherry and i were very busy and we barely had time to really look after him. We had supplied him with everything that a dog needed to survive. But, we could help to provide him with the amount of love and care. He was in the room for 1 year. 1 long, long year for a pity dog. He would have longed for the companion from us but we always dissappointed him.
We had a good and fun time with baby. But, we owed him a lot. Money cannot buy, only time and love can buy!
So, Cherry and i decided to send baby to a caring owner. We loved him very much, but, knowing that baby needs much more than we could provide.
I took him back to my home. My parents loved him very much, especailly my dad. One day, before i went to Ipoh. baby hugged my leg very tightly as if he didnt want me to go. Or he had sensed that he would be given to another owner, he pleaded me not to give him away. I was touched....i was deeply touched!!!
Tears in my heart were rolling down deep into my soul. The feeling was indescrible!
At last, Cherry and i sent him to my student's "Abby" home. I was very sad, baby is just like my very dear friend who has brightened up my life since he came into my life. .Luckily, the environment he is living now is comfortable. Baby will always be on my mind. I wish him the best staying at my student's home. Hopefully, he will bring joys to the new family. God bless!

ASEAN UNIVERSITY GAMES 2008
I am one of the techincals for the AUG for the karate-do event. I reached UKM, Kolej keris mas for the first time. Frankly, UKM is much smaller than UPM, and Upm is much prettier than UKM. Anyway, i got the single room. It is nice and comfortable.
i have been here since 9th December, my body condition has not been better. i am still sick and it goes without saying that i am tired. But i did not tell the committee that my body is not ok. I went to Pulapor "Pusat latihan polis Kuala Lumpur" and UIA "University Islam Antarabangasa" to carry 400 pieces of tatami for the karate tournament.
It is tiring, life has been tough but i do enjoy myself being one part of the AUG. I need to be in UKM untill 18th of December. Well, wish me luck:-) It will be very busy two days before the tournament and during the tournament. However, the experiences that i gain from this tournament is precious and priceless. I hope!

Luang Phor Samran From Wat Makok
Ladies and gentlemen, i had the chance to see Luang phor samran from bangkok. He is not a normal monk but he is one of the respected monks recognised by the King of Thailand. I went to see him with my family and Cherry on saturday, we had wonderful flower bath and a simple ceremony for getting rid of bad luck and it is believed to bring good metta "human relations". Each of us was given a Nahu amulet.
On sunday morning, Cherry and i went to see Luang phor again. There was a main chanting that day. i was sitting behind luang phor, after a long chant, i saw someting was shaking. It was Ruesi's head, it was shaking, Luang phor touched the Ruesi head immediately to stop it. It lasted about 1 minute. Well, i was relaxed at first as i thought luang phor was shaking it. But, it didnt seem to be what i thought.
The reality was incredible. In fact, the thing was shaking on its own, luang phor tried to stop it. Two Ruesis wanted to go into Luang phor's body, but he stoped them. He afraid that no one would be able to understand the old thai language if ruesi were to go into luang phor's body. lol, never did i think that, i would have the opportunity to witness this incredible, unbelievable and unforgetable scene!
Some of my students went for the flower bath ceremony on sunday. But, they could not manage to bathe cos luang phor was very tired. lol Besides, i forgot to tell them not to wear black shit. God knows, many of them wore black. I brought them to see Maha, they took turn to check their fortune. Maha was quite accurate i beleive!
Today, 27th Nove, i went there again with my karate student Jun Rong. We were chatting for a half day at the upstair of the shophouse. We talked about many things! I cant remember the topics but it was nice anyway! I also "dabao" Kopi o for Maha and Luang Phor.
In short, i was very happy to see Maha and Luang Phor. if i have chance to go to Bangkok, i will really visit them at their temples. Namotassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Samputasa!!

Suprised by Form 5 Students
Today, 8th Nov of 2008, it is an unforgetable day as my students from Form 5 bought something special for me...Thailand Bullet Amulet
I was very happy when i received this birthday present. But, what i really concerned is about their money! The Fopai is not cheap at all. They have spent lots of money just to buy that for me. Yup, i was indeed very touched. Actually, if they were to write a card for me, i would be very touched and happy already. This is the most precious gift from students to a teacher!
I have told them about the bullet in my classes before. They know that i love it. Actually, i never dare to ask the boss lady about the price of this bullet. Because i am afraid that i would buy it some other day!
I will upload the fopai picture in this blog another time!
Thank you Ferlin, Snow and Happy Plus for giving me this valuable fopai. Thanks for believing in me, as a teacher who can influence your life.
