My heartfelt congratulations to H.E. Dato’ Dr. Fauziah Mohamad Taib on her first successful painting exhibition in The Hague. It was an honor to be there among other invitees from the origin of Malaysia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and others.
The 3 painters are our H.E. Ambassador of Malaysia, the Deputy Director General of the OPCW and the wife of H.E. the Ambassador of Pakistan. Thumbs up to these three talented ladies.

Sitting on my bed with one of the machines sitting nearby, I pushed a button and I heard a preaching. Oh yes! Preaching to a sick me and I pushed the button again and I heard silence. I took my Holy Bible which I left open last night and prayed on Psalm 5 and 6. I re-read Psalm 6:9-11 several times, so the enemy would leave me alone. So I will be up and about in no time.
Ah! It’s Valentine’s Day. What can I say! I remembered that this Valentine’s day had to do with some Saints called Saint Valentine and in fact there were vary stories concerning to this topic. Anyway, lovers take it so seriously. I wonder why. When it concerns love, I believe everyday is a Valentine’s Day.
Don’t you think?
Happy Valentine’s Day! I love you!

Monday Morning With My Gadgets

Good morning world!
Just past 7 am and it’s still dark out there.
It’s Monday! I love Mondays, don’t you? I don’t have to rush today as I’ve submitted the prices I calculated on last Friday.
Friday is supposed to be the “light-day” for people. But for me, it doesn’t matter what day it is, the job must be done. It I could do it at that time, I prefer to finish whatever at hand. But there was an issue. Last month’s month-end-close issue. We made corrections in October. I decided not to take the figures into account but I needed confirmation from my managers.
“Yes! The logic is there, I agree with you.” The former Manufacturing Accounting Manager said to me. But it was not enough for me. My manager came to me when he heard my arrghhh in a loud voice. He was worried, thought something happened to me. It was just the work. I talked to him and he confirmed what I had in mind. I felt good then.
The thing with this product price is, it does not impact a few Euros but about 100 million euros per month just for this single project. Apart from that, I would not want to hear yet another email from the partner company about a mistake. So, I’m happy to get 3 okays from the former site manager, my manager and also my site-lead.
So now I can just take before rushing to take a fresh shower. Well, these are part of my machines. I am a big fan of Apple products now. My 15″ MacBookPro and my iPad2 are two of my best buddies. I got the former in September and last Saturday for the latter.
My weekend had been a blast. I cooked Italian and Kadazan food with pasta and “tanghoon” (Chinese style vermicelli). I baked cake and I made Italian espresso traditional way. OMG! It was STRONG! And the noodles salad was HOT!
Happy All Saints Day

Hello hello,
It’s All Saints Day. A day after the All Souls Day. The American just celebrate their Halloween. While other countries in Europe are having a public holiday today, we have a fabulous day working today (NOT!). It is the work-day-1 in our field; should be busy but I’m taking it easy today after a few days of having headaches from all the requests.
Lovely indeed to be working on this holy day 01/11/2011.
I’m sitting at the Lebkov again this afternoon. My mind is like a machine, non-stop working. But I just take an easy way out, blogging here and later continue my articles I’m working on.
No, I haven’t bought anything yet as there was a long line wanting to order. So, I find a space at the back and just take out my laptop. Two guys sitting next to my left talk about work in IT. It sounds like an interview is being held. Not sure as I don’t want to listen. On my right is a one-person table. A guy is having his bread while playing with his iPad. At my back, there are 3 guys drinking and drinking and I heard someone making several calls. On my far end left, at the back, there is a lady enjoying her muffin, holding a book. On the other side at the back, 2 young ladies speak German are also enjoying their bread while chit-chatting about life.
The music they are playing on the air is jazz. Nice to do some work, chit-chat with a company or two, read a magazine or paper, or just having something to drink or to nibble.
It has been a while I have not been to Facebook so I am lacking of what’s going on in the world. If you are curious about what I’m doing, well, I’m working of my new dot com. Nothing serious. I’m just missing putting my stuff online although I can do it here or elsewhere with a free service.
I wish you all a Happy All Saints Day.
I Got Some Good News

I feel like it has been ages since I last came in here. Ooooppsss!
It’s 12.28pm here in this part of the world. I’m sitting at a cafe called Lebkov where a lot of people are having their lunch here or working with their laptops or paperworks. It’s lunch time for me too. So, I left my desk at work and came here. It’s so convenient to work in a big building, where you can have access to the public transportation, restaurants, shopping complexes or people.
While having my vegetarian Thai soup and typing these words, I enjoy looking at the crowd out there. People are passing by on this left side of the cafe to go to their destinations: metros, busses, offices, post-office, shops, gym, car parks. You name it.
In August, I was sent an eye opener by God. Since then, I haven’t stopped from investing so much for myself and for my dreams.
In September, I got myself a Mac Book Pro, 15″, the best that is available. Then I plugged-in to several trainings available online. It made my day when I got a snail mail from Sutera Harbour Hotel, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Screening to the bottom of the letter, I wanted to jump. It’s my dear Malaysian girlfriend, Elaine, who is also living in the Netherlands but on holiday in Singapore and Malaysia for the last 1 year plus. Attaching to the letter was a 2-page paperclips on the Harvest Festival held in England in August. It was also an honor to see my name printed there as the organizer of the first Harvest Festival celebrated officially in Europe in 2010. I couldn’t help but grinning from ear to ear for having this great girlfriend.
On top of that, I received a package from the US. I can say now that I am a proud member of International Travel Writer and Photographer. It tickled me to see a big word “JOURNALISM” printed on my card. Gosh! I have never taken any journalism courses in college. I write what I feel like writing but if you ask me technical stuff that you have learned at college, you will just get a shy smile from me. 
Ah! Did I tell you what my other September news? I guess some of you know by now through my Facebook pages.
Well! I can tell you in a different time on that. Right now, I need to get back to my initial purpose of coming to Lebkov.
Stay tune as I shall be here often especially when God is sending me His Angels to help you all out there.

Perfect! Perfect event! I’m proud to be in the Malaysian Association of the Netherlands as an Exco to be able to help organizing big events such as this.
Thank you everyone for making it a success. Especially thank you to our Dato’ Dr Ambassador for everything. Story might follow later. But the photo collage tell the story for the time being. Enjoy.

It has been the third week of my unfortunate health issue and the third day of lying on top of a mattras, covered by warm blankets. I wish to just jump up from this missery but I know right now I just have to put this thing down and say a good prayer. Forget the world.
