Wonderful working day on 7th November

7th November 2007 is Deepavali eve. My company allow all staff to leave early at 4pm (if work permits). Well, I am not going to miss out this opportunity to go home early, so I am among the first to slowly glide myself out of the office door. Haha...

It was Wednesday, and unlike many other Wednesday, mid week work crisis always happens. Thank God it's a nice and relaxing day at work for me. I can spend my time clearing off my office e-mail box junkies and help up one of my London based colleague on his projects. Time for me to pay out the many favours he gave me... hehehe...

Also 7th November is a very special day for my beloved sister. It's her birthday. "Happy Birthday, Sis. May you have a wonderful time celebrating your birthday and happy marriage! May God bless you abundantly."

Travel places: Spain

The country Spain the one of the three most visited countries in the world. It is also widely known by their famous regions in the country such as Barcelona which hosted the 1992 Olympic games, and Madrid which is famous of their soccer team Real Madrid. Besides being famous by their sports all around the world, Spain is a great place to go for a holiday too.

Spain is has many monuments and sights, rich in heritage which is the outcome of the different civilizations that once set foot in Spain. You may experience sunny weather, and try out their delicious Spanish cuisine. Interesting places like Torre de Bujaco and Muralla de Avila in Spain, is a must to go places. Click here for a list of best rate hotels in spain.

If you have a longer holiday time to spend in Spain, the two famous regions that I have mentioned earlier must be your next place to visit. In Barcelona, you can visit Sagrada Familia, La Boqueria, and Gothic quarter, among the many others historical monuments there. One of the picture below showing the pillars inside Sagrada Familia which are designed like trees. There are also many more other interesting places to visit in Spain. You can go to Madrid and visit the Prado museum, botanical gardens, and royal palace. I wish I could go for traveling to Spain.

Korean Movie: 200 Pound Beauty

I watched this Korean movie quite some time ago. Thanks to Ald for buying this original DVD for me to watch. It is a very nice movie with lots of touching moments that can put some tears to your eyes if you really imagine that you are a very big size girl. Well, of course if you are a big size girl in real life, I am pretty sure you will die to get a chance to watch this movie.

As the title says "200 Pount Beauty" meaning you can be big and fat but you can look beautiful too. No, that is not exactly what the movie is all about. It is about this girl Hanna who is a lip sync vocalist for Amy. Because of her appearance, she is always being humiliated by Amy in front of Sang-jun, her secret love. Amy is totally jealous of Hanna and could not except the fact that Sang-jun befrended Hanna dispite her appearance. Sang-jun is not like the majority of the guys who only eye on beautiful girls. He befriended Hanna because he likes her beautiful personality more than her appearance. Until it reaches a time where Hanna could not take the humiliation further, she decided to have plastic surgery from head to toe. So, after the huge transformation of Hanna's appearance, will Sang-jun returns Hanna's unrequited love? Watch the movie to find it out for yourself.

Overall, this movie doesn't bores me at all. I would love to watch it again when I have the time. Hmm... I think girls will enjoy this movie more than guys. Unless the guys wants to watch the very beautiful Korean actress Kim Ah-joong. She is my favourite Korean actress now. With a very sweet, young and angelic face, and prefectly nice body, she definately makes all the guys drooling and the girls admiring her beauty for hours. How I wish I could look like her! It's every girl's dream.....

Life without limbs

Must know this - that God has good plans for us. This message is by Nick Vujicic.

James 1:2- "Consider it pure joy, my Brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds."
......To count our hurt, pain and struggle as nothing but pure joy? As my parents were Christians, and my Dad even a Pastor of our church, they knew that verse very well. However, on the morning of the 4th of December 1982 in Melbourne (Australia), the last two words on the minds of my parents was "Praise God!". Their firstborn son had been born without limbs! There were no warnings or time to prepare themselves for it. The doctors we shocked and had no answers at all! There is still no medical reason why this had happened and Nick now has a Brother and Sister who were born just like any other baby.

The whole church mourned over my birth and my parents were absolutely devastated. Everyone asked, "if God is a God of Love, then why would God let something this bad happen to not just anyone, but dedicated Christians?" My Dad thought I wouldn't survive for very long, but tests proved that I was a healthy baby boy just with a few limbs missing.

Understandably, my parents had strong concern and evident fears of what kind of life I'd be able to lead. The first biggest hurdle was for my parents to be at peace and trusting that God was in control. It took a number of months of tears, questions and grief before that complete overtook their hearts. God provided them strength, wisdom and courage through those early years and soon after that I was old enough to go to school.

There are a few people who assume that because of my physical disability that it meant that I'd also be mentally disabled. The law in Austr alia didn't allow me to be integrated into a main-stream school because of my physical disability. God did miracles and gave my Mom the strength to fight for the law to be changed. I was one of the first disabled students to be integrated into a main-stream school.

I liked going to school, and just try to live life like everyone else, but it was in my early years of school where I encountered uncomfortable times of feeling rejected, weird and bullied because of my physical difference. It was very hard for me to get used to, but with the support of my parents, I started to develop attitudes and values which helped me overcome these challenging times. I knew that I was different but on the inside I was just like everyone else. There were many times when I felt so low that I wouldn't go to school just so I didn't have to face all the negative attention. I was encouraged by my parents to ignore them and to try start making friends by just talk ing with some kids. Soon the students realized that I was just like them, and starting there God kept on blessing me with new friends.

There were times when I felt depressed and angry because I couldn't change the way I was, or blame anyone for that matter. I went to Sunday School and learnt that God loves us all and that He cares for you. I understood that love to a point as a child, but I didn't understand that if God loved me why did He make me like this? Is it because I did something wrong? I thought I must have because out of all the kids at school, I'm the only weird one. I felt like I was a burden to those around me and the sooner I go, the better it'd be for everyone. I wanted to end my pain and end my life at a young age, but I am thankful once again, for my parents and family who were always there to comfort me and give me strength.

Due to my emotional struggles I had experienced with bullying , self esteem and loneliness, God has implanted a passion of sharing my story and experiences to help others cope with whatever challenge they have in their life and let God turn it into a blessing. To encourage and inspire others to live to their fullest potential and not let anything get in the way of accomplishing their hopes and dreams.

As I grew older God continued to prepare my heart and teach me to seek Him. One of the first lessons that I have learnt was not to take things for granted. I had that wake up call around the age of twelve and realised just how much I was blessed with. I take my foot for granted, my family and the fact that I wasn't born in a third world country all blessings that God had freely given and I still complain? I came across;

Romans 8:28 - "And we know that in all things God works for the best for those who love Him."
That verse spoke to my heart and convicted me to the point where that I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these "bad" things happen in our life. In;

James 1:3&4 - "...know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
I had complete peace knowing that God won't let anything happen to us in our life unless He has a good purpose for it all. I completely gave my life to Christ at the age of fifteen after reading John 9. Jesus said that the reason the man was born blind was "so that the works of God may be revealed through Him." I truly believed that God would heal me so I could be a great testimony of His Awesome Power. Later on I was given the wisdom to understand that if we pray for something, if it's God's will, it'll happen in His time. If it's not God's will for it to happen, then I know that He has something better. I now see that Glory revealed as He is using me just the way I am and in ways others can't be used.

I am now twenty-one years old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the corporate sector. For more information on Nick's presen tations go to "Nick's Ministry".
In recent years, I have learnt to become independent and can now take care of all my personal needs. I can do everything from brushing my teeth, combing my hair, dressing up, taking care of my personal hygiene and even shaving. I get around the house by jumpin' around and, outside the house, I get around in an electric wheelchair. I love to swim, fish and play soccer. I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever He leads, I follow.

I have many dreams and goals that I have set to achieve in my life. I want to become the best witness I can be of God's Love and Hope, to become an international inspirational speaker and be used as a vessel in both Christian and non-Christian venues. I want to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments, to modify a car for me to drive and to be interviewed and share my story on the "Oprah Winfrey Show"! Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year. It will be called "No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!"

You might think these goals are too far-fetched. However, I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's God's will, you will achieve it in good time. As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all! What's worse is putting limits on God who can do all things. We put God in a "box". The awesome thing about the Power of God, is that if we want to do something for God, instead of focusing on our capability, concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us and we can't do anything without Him. Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's!
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
God has a Great Purpose for your life! As far as your unanswered prayers, remember that God is Faithful. What are we to do when we are seeking but not finding?
Jeremiah 29:12 - "Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord...

Take courage my friend for the Battle is the Lord's and I urge you to keep striving for the truth. For it is the truth that will set you free and the Peace of God that surpasses all understanding will reign in your heart. May the Lord Bless you as you diligently seek Him and grant you Godly Wisdom and Strength through your journey.

In Christ,
Nick Vujicic

Consumer Rights

All of us are consumers, but we do not always know our rights. The was this seminar conducted by A/P Catherine Tay on Legal issues in E-commerce. This is something good for us to know.

Do you notice that most of the time, the receipt / invoice you received from the merchant carries this exclusion clause or similarly worded statement: "Goods sold are not returnable" or "No refund once sold".

The thing that can be learnt from the seminar is that "As long as your good is purchased for home use and not for business ( i.e. to be resold), the above exclusion clause is VOID. " That means, as long as the good is defective, regardless of what is worded, you CAN get back all your money spent. You do not have to accept a repair on the good or an exchange. You CAN ask for a refund. AND you are LEGALLY right and entitled to! What a relevation!!

And most of the time the merchant will refuse to return you your money.

Her advice? From her own experience (and no less than 7 and all successful!), she will threaten the merchant with four words: "SEE YOU IN COURT!" The court here refers to the Small Claims Tribunal Court. However, you don't have to tell them what court! All you have to pay is RM10 admin fee and the loser (the merchant) will have to refund you the money PLUS the admin fee!

She shared this with us because she felt that even educated people are cowed by such unfair wordings (which includes her jaded friends who are not lawyers). Pls try not to let the merchant fleece you the next time you have a defective good.

In Malaysia, they file this on the 16th floor of Putra Place (The Mall opposite Putra World Trade Centre). The form cost RM5.00. The Tribunal will settle within 2 months period.

My new phobia

Since after my hospitalisation few months back, i have been lucky that I do not need to go back home from work by myself taking the LRT train home. That is because Ald has been so sweet to make sure he is able to send me home everyday. Until the day before yesterday, due to some work arrangement Ald unable to pick me up from my office so I had to go back by LRT train to a station which Ald is able to send me home from there. I really don't mind doing that once in a while after all I had been enjoying my share of convinience all these while and what is this small sacrifice that I have to make once in a while? I glady obliged to it.

Well, since I had that bad experience of getting really sick and the time it got extremely worst is when I was on the Star line LRT train, I have not been taking the Start LRT train home since then. So, two days ago when I have to go back this way again, I didn't know that I would have this new phobia of feeling my body falling sick again. The moment I step onto the train, standing at the exact same spot (well, that's my favourite spot), I really felt a mild panic attack. I think my brain really got a shock for it's life when I was horibly ill that day on the train and needed to be hospitalised. That's why when I go back by the same transport that day, my brain automatically play back the horrible ordeal that I had gone through at that time.

I couldn't provide the exact description on how I actually felt during the time I was on the Star LRT train 2 days ago. My body just suddently felt weaker and I would feel like I am about to faint, just like the day I was extremely sick on the train (minus the body numbness). Wow! This really freaks me out a little. I totally did not expect that I would have this phobia of getting on to Start LRT train when I go home. Oh! I certaintly do not want to feel panicky like this again. Hopefully my this new phobia will be gone in due time.

Hair Loss Solution

I have always has hair loss problem since my teenage years. Now I am in my tweenties and my problem is still there. My hair seems to fall out quite alot sometimes and it really freak me out. Well, I read there are many factors contributing to hair loss problem. It could be malnutrition, unhealthy diet, hereditary or stress. I do noticed that when I am highly stressed out, my hair does falls out alot. And in terms of eating the right nutrition everyday, this is rather hard to keep out too because of my busy working life, which I am sure it's hard for anybody else too.

I have tried out a few hair loss product. Mainly buying those shampoos and hair tonics which claim that it helps to prevent or manage hair loss problem. Until now, I haven't found any that really works. Not to mention, it is hard to maintain on the rigorous rountine especially when I don't really don't have time.

I have thought of buying those supliment to aid hair loss problem from the pharmacies because it's more convinient but those thing like putting some chemical into my body surely not something I would risk doing. Hence, I did not try out any of those suppliments mainly because the ingredients they use does give me "safe" feeling of taking it and I don't feel it is reliable.

But there is this hair loss product that I might try out. The name of the product is called provillus. After reading the product reviewed by people who are also as sceptical as me, and who has tried Provillus, I feel more confident and trust that their product does works well. And of course I view the ingredient that they use it looks safer compare to the rest that I saw selling in pharmacies. Plus the good thing is, it offers 100% money back guarantee.
