Dinner at Aseana cafe in Straits Quay

To-night, I had dinner with my wife at Aseana Cafe in Straits Quay. There was a lot of people at the Quay and most of them are taking a stroll after dinner.  My wife bought  a pewter at Selangor Pewter and walk to the Cafe , just opposite the shop.  I was there on a mission to check on my daughter , May who is working as a waitress at the Cafe. Part of her training , she told me but each time she came home from work, she have painful legs and would request for a leg message from me the next day. I told her that it must be her weight and she assured me that she is on a diet but maybe, her weight is only coming down very slowly.

Aseana Cafe serves local delicacies and the place was cosy and in good taste.  Well, I ordered a Jawa Mee and my wife ordered a spaghetti Chicken. The taste was quite good but the price is abit pricey. There is a lot of difference in the taste when we eat the same stuff in a restaurant and a coffee shop. My wife told me that if I eat Jawa mee , it cost only a fraction of the price I pay for the same stuff which I chose to eat here. The chair was comfortable and I got my daughter to serve me.  It is the first time in her life to serve her parents and it was a wonderful experience to us. For the past 18 years, we have been serving her. Yeah , you might say that I am pampering her.

I noticed that she has changed a lot and her manners were always good in front of my friends or strangers. A completely two separate personality. One at home and another at her work place.  I believe that she is changing and hopefully, changing for the better.  She is getting wiser and from the message in the FB to her friend, I could sense that I have under estimate her maturity and wisdom and the way she advise her friend was extremely good.  Well, we should never judge a book from its cover. You can be always wrong.

After the dinner, my wife and I got out of the Cafe and feeling satisfied that she will be able to handle her self in the future.  We took a stroll at the Marina and there was more people coming in to the quay and there was a lot of pubs there and people still eating at 10.30 pm.  Late, we took leave from the place and head home.

Girls really gets matured faster than the boys. For each year difference, the girls could get two to three folds faster in maturity than the boys.  For a perfect couple, it is traditionally that the man should be 6 years old than the lady when there get married as their maturity is at the same level because of the age difference.  From my experience and observation,  girls normally ditch their boy friends at the age of 18 to 20 if they are of the same age. The boys remained boys and  girls became ladies. This is the real problem,

So, happily seeing my May growing up and seeing her getting the hard knocks directly from life and I realized she will get stronger and wiser in the coming years.

Namaste.

Be forgiving - life have an expiry date.(ext)

I know that you will have someone in mind, to pass this one along to.
because you are the forgiving one...

*PASS THE BISCUITS*

When I was a kid, my Mum liked to make breakfast food for dinner*
*every now & then & I remember one night in particular when she had*
*made breakfast** **after a long, hard day at work. On that evening*
*so long ago, my Mum placed a plate of eggs, sausage,*
*and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting*
*to see if anyone noticed!*
*Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my Mum*
*and ask me how my day was at school.

I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember hearing*
*my Mum apologize to my dad*
*for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said: *
*"Honey, I love burned biscuits."

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him*
*if he really liked his biscuits burned.*
*He wrapped me in his arms and said,*
*"Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she's real tired.*
*And besides... A burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!"

You know, life is full of imperfect things... And imperfect people.*
*I'm not the best at hardly anything,*
*and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else.*
*What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each others*
*faults and choosing to celebrate*
*each other’s differences, is one of the most important keys*
*to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

So...please pass me a biscuit. And yes, the burned one will do just fine!*
*And please pass this along to someone*
*who has enriched your life...I just did!

Life is too short to wake up with regrets... Love the people who treat you
right*
*and forget about the ones who don't.

ENJOY LIFE NOW - IT HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE**![image: []]*

Sit and look see.... lots of wisdom

When I was young, my mother always ask me to window shopping. Just look see. What is the difference between "look" and "see"? It has the same purpose. Getting a visual image. On Sunday on my way to KL, I was precisely doing that "just look see". As I was waiting to board the plane to KL, I was sitting on the bench outside the gate to the plane, waiting for the people to board the plane.  I could see so many different people , the white, the black, the mid east and yellow guys or gals wondering around while waiting to board the plane. The old and the young, the ugly and the beautiful, the married and unmarried couples , hugging and kissing as if nobody is around. Just exaggerating abit.

When I reach KL and at the wedding dinner of my friend's daughter, there were many different people, again the old and young, the beautiful and the not so beautiful ladies  and the bald head man and the drunks at my next table. Each person having their own agenda for the night. Some wants to be drunk , some wants to eat good food, some just want to be entertained while the newly web is waiting for the dinner to end and have their time of their life in their own world.

I sat at the corner of the restaurant and just watch the scenes changes and the different actors or actress playing their role. The world is a stage and everyone is an actor. Yeah, it true. Everyone is inter-connect. If I have not met my friend PH , 12 years ago, I would not be attending his daughter's wedding and I would not be flying to KL on a Sunday and sat besides a group of PH's friend who finished 5 bottles of brandy and they just want to continue drinking and get drunk. The events unfold one scene at a time like a drama or a movie.  The director is called "fate".

At end of the dinner, I just stood up and bid farewell to my friend and I went back to my hotel to sleep. This is also the last scene for the day and the next morning , a new movie will play and different sets of actors and actress will come into my life and act out another daily drama. Yeah, life goes on and the show must go on with or without any one of them as the scenes unfold in my eyes.

This is a life show and it ends when I reach the end of my journey in life.

Namaste.

Lots of prosperity and good fortunes .

Best wishes and properity for all of you - gold and water is the symbol of
 good luck

Traveling to KL for a wedding dinner - lots of insight

My friend, PH send me an invitation to his daughter’s wedding and it was held in Kuala Lumpur on a Sunday night. PH, is a friend and a service provider to my Company and my big boss wants me to attend the dinner to show our appreciation. But, the next day was a Monday ( that is today) and I have to rush back to meet my new expatriate boss in my Division. I timed the trip very tightly.  I will fly in on a Sunday afternoon and will take the first flight back to Penang on the next day.  Yes, use MAS to fly there and use Air Asia to fly back on Monday.

It was a lot of training and a hectic trip because not much rest the night as I have to wake up at 5 am to travel to the LCCT in Sepang. The dinner end at 10.30pm and I took leave to go back to my hotel to sleep early. The food and drinks in my stomach makes me uncomfortable as I try to force my self to sleep. I have lots of dreams that night because of the heavy meal. What the xyz%#^&#@ ? Anyway, very uncomfortable night.

During the trip, I have  learn a number of things for the first time. I did not know that I cannot print the boarding pass for Air Asia’s return flight from KL.  I have to do it in KL. Another thing is that I thought the Air Asia flight is flying from KLIA but no, it  is operating in a LCCT in Sepang which is about 20 minutes away. I must print the boarding pass from the LCCT terminal.  It is the first time, I am flying Air Asia from Sepang. The terminal really impressed me a lot and it was much more busier than KLIA and better organized.  Now , I know why Air Asia is doing so well.

Air Asia is a budget Airline and that is why we have to walk a long way from the low cost terminal  to the plane and it actually is like traveling on a bus without the meal and drinks and the services. But, all the food and drinks is available at the LCCT terminal , that is where they make money from all of us. Good idea ! You pay for what you need and there is no waste. Unlike MAS, they serve the things we don’t  like and yet we have to eat them anyway. What a waste.

Now they are talking about Air Asia swapping shares with MAS and merge the two Airlines. This is dangerous as they will create a monopoly and waste will again come into the picture to make us pay for the things we don’t need. We have to stop the rot from spreading.

But , one thing we have to bear is that the delay on the take off as it is supposedly to be traveling free and easy and a slight delay is acceptable.  If not this, it was a wonderful experience traveling from KL to Penang. Have learn a lot of things a new.

Namaste.
