The Brick

May 9th, 2008 by yeohailing

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared . Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag’s side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.

The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, ‘What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?’ The young boy was apologetic. ‘Please, mister…please, I’m sorry but I didn’t know what else to do,’ He pleaded. ‘I threw the brick because no one else would stop…’ With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. ‘It’s my brother, ‘he said. ‘He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.’ Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, ‘Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.’

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. ‘Thank you and may God bless you,’ the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message:

‘Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!’ God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don’t have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It’s our choice to listen or not.

Thought for the Day:

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.

If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring.

He sends you a sunrise every morning

Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!

God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow,sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Teambuilding!!!!

December 11th, 2007 by yeohailing

Ahh…its been a long time indeed since i wrote anything here……been too busy…..haih…busy eating kuaci….busy playing….and busy thinking that i m busy….it has been almost a month now since i get to go back home..and my oh my..i sure miss home a lot….one week..i was on duty for a golf tournament being sponsored by my company…another week I had to attend ‘Family Day’ organised by company and another  week"teambuilding camp" at Damai Laut Resort, Lumut. And since i m so lazy to type..i m just goin to copy paste what i wrote in email to Ms. Colleen…wahahhahahah….

Neways….continuing on my trip to Damai Laut Resort in Lumut…..basically I think the journey to the resort itself is like traveling to Genting Highlands……pusing sini

sana

..make me wanna muntah only…….we bertolak from pfk around 8.30am…..34 ppl suppose to go..but end up only 17 went…..so we reach the resort around 12.30 noon…at first when we sampai the resort….we were in awe…cos the resort is facing a lake (or issit sea)..ahhaha..neways..the resort looks very canggih lah…and we were goin down from the bus with perasaan bangga sekali…then hor……suddenly they told us the resort actually fully booked and we nid to stay in apartments instead….NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo…the apartment is 5-10 mins ride through the bengkang bengkok road….haih..dat time feel so much like kena tipu only….and summore so so troublesome…mainly cos we will be staying at the apartment..while al our activities at the resort…so have to travel back and forth all the time..

The activities that we did are building a railway track to transport a ball using chopsticks, rafia, masking tape and scissors as our raw material……the game is quite interesting since we have to build it within 30 mins…and every time we manage to transport the ball from point A to point B……..our members will get a chance to remove a piece from jengga…hahah.u played jengga before? Then…the following game is spider-web..they will ikat string like spider web and we nid to transport our members through the spiderweb..so basically we would nid to carry one another lor……a spider web is teruk enough..this one they did TIGA lapisan…fui yoh..mmg berpeluh giler……another game is ‘traffic jam’….for this game……we simulate two trains bertemu each other at a junction……head to head…then the objective is to transport the team from train A to train B and vice versa…then they got put criterias to it la…..neways….my favourite will be the paintball game..miahahahhahhaa….

For paintball…we get to play 4 different scenarios…….(first we were divided to groups of 9 and 10)

1.Attack and Defend……we were given chance to attack ppl by charging at them from one end of the hutan…hahaha….the defending team cannot leave their base…then we pulak kena defend our base lor……the hutan so so semak….trees and semak samun..isk3..its like abandoned hutan…takder jalan betul betul oso…..

2. Collecting points…….the facilitator scattered point cards all over the hutan area…we are suppose to fight each other to collect points along the way…

3.Save the President….for this activity ..we nid to rescue a dummy (which is the president)…in doing so…we nid to fight 4 professional paintball ppl..hahahha….

4. WAR….this one we have to fight against the 4 profesional players….

So the moment has come when I get to hold the gun..and

SHOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT…so during paintball…I rolled and crawled and jumped and summersault…..wahhahahhahaha…and I shot with great accuracy….shooting in style while dodging bullets like in matrix…wahhahahaha….and of course…sad to say that all these decriptions are only true in my imagination..wahhahahhahaha

This is what actually happens

For the first game, while attacking…I died early..hahahha….was shooting a few bullets only..then tetiba while I was taking my nafas..i got shot right at the mouth area….since I was wearing mask…the paint got splurt into me mouth…….blueks…the taste..darn pahit…then when its my turn to defend my base..…I died early too but later than the first one….i died the same way though…shot near the mouth area n this time..my eyes too..ahha..so the mask terus kena splish splash…..and yes..again..i get to taste kepahitan yg amat sgt….

For the second game, I got wiser…..this time I lie facedown on the grass….hahaha…and din move even a single bit except  once in a while holding up my head to shoot at ppl or grass that seems to be moving..whahahah..this time..i din die…ngiaks3……I din know if I got kill ppl or not..since my mask mia screen got fogged up….haih…….can’t really see anything…..let alone to shoot….so I basically shoot at moving things..hahahahhaha…so won’t be suprising if I wasted my bullets on trees and tree leaves….

For the third game……..i lay low most of the time….did some crawling every now and then..and hid behind trees….then my mask fogged up again..and I can’t see anything..wahhaha.then my gun jammed……..lol……for this game..even with 12 of us..we couldn’t kalahkan the profesionnals to save the president..sad sad sad

For the fourth game……..i died getting shot twice in the arm and once at the waist..ahhaha……and I couldn’t even see where my enemies are….potong steam betul…..it turns out that they saw my gun and my head protruding out from the grass..so the professionals complot as a team to just shot that area…..matilah aku……

So what did I get from paintballing…..bruises and minor cuts from my shiok sendiri antics (crawling and rolling)…..and also bloodied trackbottom…why? Cos mr PACAT decides to feast on me…….cis…I only realize I kena pacat when I got back to my room..wanted to bath…then got a shock seeing my trackbottom got blood and drops of blood on the floor…haih…and I din get to kill mr Pacat…..cacat betul……in the end the bleeding continues for another 1 hr plus..hahahahha…..

Klar…dats all for now..tentu pening reading rite? With my cacat mia English and super long naration…ahhahaha..all purely shiok sendiri..lol

p/s: Colleen….i just had to ciplak this mail that ‘killed’ you in office..wahhahaha….being infected by Malastypezoa virus….

“I Don’t Regret a Mile” by Howard Goodman

October 17th, 2007 by yeohailing

I’ve dreamed many a dream that’s never come true,

I’ve seen them vanish at dawn,

But enough of my dreams have come true

To make me keep dreaming on

I’ve prayed many a prayer that seemed no answer would come,

Though I’d waited so patient and long;

But enough answers have come to my prayers

To make me keep praying on

I’ve sown many a seed that’s fallen by the wayside,

For the birds to feed upon

But I’ve held enough golden sheaves in my hands

To make me keep sowing on

I’ve trusted many a friend that’s failed me

And left me to weep alone

But enough of my friends have been true-blue

To make me keep trusting on

I’ve drained the cup of disappointment and pain,

And gone many a day without song

But I’ve sipped enough nectar from the roses of life

To make me want to live on

I love this Doctor

October 12th, 2007 by yeohailing

I love this Doctor

I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A:
Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it… don’t waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that’s like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap. 
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? 
A:
You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? (I love this explanation!)
A:
No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up! 
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A:
Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A:
Can’t think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain…Good! 
Q: Aren’t fried foods bad for you?
A:
YOU’RE NOT LISTENING!!! …. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they’re permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? 
A:
Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me? 
A:
Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It’s the best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q:
Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle? 
A:
Hey! ‘Round’ is a shape! 

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.
And remember:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride"
AND……

For those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final word on nutrition and health. It’s a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Should listen to Radio 4

September 13th, 2007 by yeohailing

This incident happend last week on the air….

Yasmin Yusof, a DJ on Radio 4 asked listeners on her radio program to
call

to answer trivia questions. The first caller to give the correct answer

would get a prize from the sponsor. She asked:

"Can anyone out there tell me the household name of Sodium Chloride (Salt)"

A caller who is a housewife called up eager to answer the question. Not

knowing the answer to the question, she asked Yasmin for a clue.

"Something you put on your husbands eggs in the morning." shesaid.

The lady confidently said : "Talcum powder".

Yasmin Yusof did not return to the air until after a few songs!
