Superwoman

She's not the prettiest woman that you have seen on earth, her features has nothing in particular that can let you look at her for another glance when she is seen on the streets...she has deep wrinkles around her eyes when she smile and she look like she is in her forties. She is just another simple woman to anyone of you that has read my blog.

To me, she's a great mummy and has done fantastically well, exceeded her role as a mother to us and a wife to my daddy. A little background about her...she married to my dad at a pretty young age, twenty one and bring me to this greeny earth. She stayed home to bring us up till my younger sister was born. She suffered quite a bit when she have me staying with my grandparents. Heard that my dad's family used to be rich in the olden days and my dad was born with a sliver spoon in his mouth. My mum had to work doubly hard. When my dad becomes more independent and managed to find a job in the outside world after graduating, their tough lives started. After my sister is born, my mum has to find work outside to help subtain the family's expenses. By then there are 3 of us and my parents, single man working to subtain or to feed 5 mouths is tough. They continue working seeing us to finish school. It sounds like most typical family...

During the 90s', there is a period of recession coming by and my dad lost his job and my mum helps to subtain the family by holding 3 jobs, working non-stop day and night trying to meet the ends. This lasted for more than a year. She still ensures that we get cooked meals everyday by cooking as early as 5am before she left for work and ensure the soup is left boiling in slow cooker so that it will be ready for our dinner. She saves the best for us, everything she has, just to ensure we get to spend like normal kids. We are never deprive of anything.Whenever she faced a problem or our family do face any, she will shoulder it herself. Given this situation to me, I might not even survive.

What more can we ask for? Now we have all started working, earning a living. I hope we can all provide her with a life that she no longer has to worry about providing. Mummy, though I never said this to you...Mummy, I love you lots and will definitely take good care of you.

Toxication? De-toxification? Make a choice!

I have under-estimated the power of vitamin M, vitamin M = Money. Leading a carefree life for more than 2 weeks, many things have happened & it completely changed my viewpoint towards the power of vitamin M.

Don't get me wrong, I did not think that M was not important at all, but to me, I guess other things like such as freedom, spending time to do the things I like, spend time with family are more important than just earning a living. I don't want to be a work slave just because of money. We are all bound by restrictions, the "right" way to live your life, the "right" pattern of your daily lives, the "ideal" job, the "ideal" path to take just because of M & it makes me feel suffocated.

Vitamin M seems to be taking control over my life, my thoughts.I realise vitamin M is just as important as other vitamins that my body needs. Too little of it makes me unhealthy and too much makes me goes into toxication. Someone screamed to my sanity " Strike a balance!"....would anyone wants a balance?? Most of them rather be poisioned.

Toxication? De-toxification? Make a choice!
I need to detoxify! Here's the information I have gathered....

Definition for "Detoxification"
Detoxification is a process in which the body is allowed to free itself of a drug(Vitamin M). During this period, the symptoms of withdrawal(feeling helpless, etc.) are also treated. Detoxification is the primary step in any drug treatment(Vitamin M treatment) program, and is used as the initial phase in treating alcohol, heroin, inhalant, sedative, and hypnotic addictions and (Vitamin M).

Being in a Japanese firm for too long...it's definitely a MUST to list the "PURPOSE"!
Purpose
The goal of detoxification is to clear the toxins(Vitamin M) out of the body so that the body can adjust and heal itself after being dependent on a substance. In order for the recovering person to stay abstinent on a long-term basis, detoxification needs to lead into long-term community residential program treatment or outpatient drug treatment lasting three to six months.

Man offered $2.2m for his life in Australia

This is an extremely interesting article that I have extracted out from Yahoo news this morning. Read on....this is weird and anything on earth can happen! Oh my god...his house, job & lifestyle are worth US 2.1 million, by the way he is only expecting 500,000.

SYDNEY (AFP) - - A lovelorn man who put his life in Australia up for sale on the Internet was one step closer to starting over Monday as bids for his house, job and lifestyle hit 2.2 million dollars (2.1 million US).

Ian Usher, a 44-year-old from Yorkshire in England, launched the unusual auction after announcing on his blog: "I have had enough of my life! I don't want it any more! You can have it if you like!"

Usher, who has lived in the western city of Perth for the past six years, said he decided to sell after breaking up with his wife because everything in the house was a "reminder of the wonderful past we shared."The former rug salesman said the auction surpassed his hoped-for price of 500,000 dollars on the first-day of the week-long auction on Sunday.
When Usher went to bed on Sunday night, his life was worth 650,000 dollars, according to bids on the Internet auction site eBay. By early Monday, it was valued at a staggering 2.2 million dollars.

"I turned the computer on (Monday morning) and it was 1.9 million and I burst out laughing," Usher told AFP.While it was possible that some of the bidders were "idiots trying to make a name for themselves," Usher said he was confident there were genuine offers in the mix.
Even so, Usher said the value of the physical assets for sale -- including his three-bedroom Perth home, 19-year-old Mazda 929 sedan, a 1986 motorbike and a jetski -- was just 450,000 to 500,000 dollars.

Usher has also promised that the winner will be introduced to his friends and lifestyle and will secure his former job as a rug store assistant for two weeks initially. This may be extended depending on the store owners' agreement.

All Usher will retain is his passport, wallet and the clothes on his back if the deal goes ahead.
Bidders may want to buy the life package to resell items separately, profiting from their value as collectible items, he said."I had emails from people asking 'Can I buy a pair of socks or something small from your house, I can't afford the whole thing,'" he said. "Someone could buy the whole house and sell it off."

Usher, who plans to travel, donate to charity and climb the Eiffel Tower in Paris once the sale is finalised, said he won't make any definite plans for his new life until this one is over.

"It still has an air of unreality about it," he said of the auction.

I managed to did a quick search on the net on the actual blog that he posted....

A Life 4 Sale: Australian Ian Usher is putting everything he has (his house, car and including his life) up for auction at eBay. The auction starts on 22nd June 2008 and lasts for 7 days till 29th June 2008 (Australian Western Standard Time)

Ian Usher
I have had enough of my life! I don't want it any more! You can have it if you like! No, I'm not contemplating suicide, I am going to sell my life! I have my reasons. However, I am still not sure whether this is inspired madness, complete foolishness, or just some sort of mid-life crisis. Whatever it is, it's all going up for sale in one big Ebay auction. Everything I have and everything I am! On the day it is all sold and settled I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all, and get on the train, with no idea where I am going or what the future holds for me. In the meantine, there will be a 100 day run-up period to the start of the auction, during which time I will keep you updated by adding daily posts to this weblog, adding regular videos and other information, detailed lists and photographs on my website. There are detailed sections on my lifestyle, my house, my vehicles, my friends and my Job, all of which are included as part of the auction. For more details, go to ALife4Sale.com

HSBC Treetop Walk - 1st June (Sun) - Slipper walk!

It was a "slipper walk" for me...My full of weird idea baby out of sudden on SAT evening suggested a walk to the Treetop the next morning. The best thing here...is I do not have the RIGHT attire to do the walk...the most "suitable" attire/wear that I have is this, see pic and you see this greeny pair of slippers, but the shoe was not right! I only have a pair of slippers and high heels available in his house.So tell me which is more suitable -> slippers ot high heels? I really hated him. I looked weird with a pair of slippers thinking to conquere Treetop!!! If I really did it, it's definitely not pure luck man, it's with my every drop of "sweat" and "blood", sweat is not the right word to use (I know it, ah long san!!!, I have a buddy from TMAP, reading constantly and trying to correct my English here, haha..I use SINGLISH here..)

We have "Captain Eugene" here doing the debriefing on which is the best/ideal route to take...way to go! As ambitious as we are, we decided to take the 11km walk that will lead us to the treetop and back to starting point! Before we start, we started snapping!!!
Doing "stunts" and posing for pictures on the way up

After walking for almost 2 hours plus, we have reached the top!!!! Yippi! Snapping again...The monkey are scary!

The creepy, swinging monkeyssssssssss, help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Nice pictures took by my baby, started to appreciate his works!!! :) Great job

After the 5 hours walk from 10.30 am to 3.30pm, we are all exhausted and drive to Long House in Thomson to have a bowl of prawn noodle, satay and a can of ice cooling COKE!!!

Life's great, with great company, nice food and freedom!!!
