A meek can become a geek .

At lunch time, I told my friends that a meek may turn into a tiger if it is cornered hard or trap in a corner. In the Chinese saying, you force the tiger to jump the wall. That is an impossible task for the tiger and it can only fight back. It will fight back feroucesly. You win or you die. That is the game of the thrones. Or you are with me or you are against me and there is no second options. It is very funny and sometimes can be illogical. Life is full of choices and options but yet, at a stage in time, some madness can persist. SOme illogical options or choice could be acted out and it becomes so self damaging or a self destructive mode. If only, these people in a situation can quiet down and reflect on its options and choose the most logical way to exit a situation. Life is full of choices and if we choose the respective choices, it will determine our life. It is like a recipe for food and the ingredients will determine the outcome of the food you make. YOu cannot choose a chicken to make an ox tail soup. The choice of the recipe will determine the outcome and this like life. Can we change the ingredients again as we don't want an ox tail soup ? Of course, we just throw it away and buy another set of ingredients to cook the food we eat. We just let go and change our mental decision. Don't hold on to the chicken and hope that it becomes an ox. It will never be and the ingredient will rot in the meantime. There are alot of setting in our mind and this settings are self imposed. It is a belief or an influence or a teaching which could have influence you in this setting. There are no borders and no constraints , it is a self imposed criteria or guide which can be changed anytime if we choose to unlearned. It is easy and it is within our choice. Just make it and don;t be self imposed by the judgement of others or self. Live like as free as a bird, as wild as a lion and as romantic as a peacock...just live. Namaste.

Macau Fan - When the shit hits the fan

Macau Fan means in Cantonese : too troublesome. Just imagine when the shit hit the fan, it is spread over a big area and the whole place smelly and dirty. Just imagine the work needed to clean up the place .. isn't it too troublesome ? Just imagine another scenario, when too lovers broke up ? All hell will break loose while each will be talking about the personal details oeach other... how many moles each have under their arm pits or on their butts ? Isn't it messy and troublesome. Another Macau Fan. Life would be better without all these troublesome things and we will have a complete peace of mind. How shall we avoid all these troubles and preventing someone else to spill the beans. It is better to be discrete and sign some non-disclosure agreement to avoid such messy troubles. Yesterday, I watch the film 50 shades of grey and a young man Christian Grey who is a billionaire was a sex prevert. During his young age, he was seduced by a women and tasted the nasty art of love making and he entered into such agreement with 15 women before meeting this young college graduate. Before he touch any women, he will negotiate with the submissive female to sign the non disclosure agreement to avoid his conduct or sex activities to be disclosed to any parties. The women is not allow to talk about their relationship. The end of cruel as the female college graduate was make to endure pain in their love making and she finally call it quit. Yeah, for all the troublesome thing, it is better to pay some money to avoid "macau fan " things from happening. Namaste.

China stock market drop 8.6% --bad moon rising

China suffered a biggest one day drop in six years and after Chinese Government intervene to prop up the share market by injecting liquidity and changing the rules of the game. The Government have suffered huge losses because of this intervention. At a seminar recently, one prominent banker told us to watch out for China which was called " the factory of the world " but have lost the title recently as China went up market. The banker told us that China is keeping a 16 months inventory stock as the Government continued to encourage production and the entities are dumping their stock all over the world affecting the global economy. Toyota delayed their plan to manufacture Lexus car in China as their domestic car demand drop sharply and as consumer sentiments turn bad. The gold price also fell from US$1.5K to US$1K per gm as China investors starts to dump their gold as liquidity and life turn tight and tough. Personally, I see a "bad moon" rising in China as the economic numbers are proped up by the Chinese Government and the inventory getting longer and longer , the liquidity getting tighter and tighter , the investors dump their equity stocks and gold and the other regional economies attached to the China's economy also gets affected like Australia and bank loans getting higher and higher while bad debts piled up and becomes a credit risk. Everything is falling apart and it is been hold back by the Government as the water flooded the "dams" and putting pressure on the walls until it give way and swept everything on its way. The sense and intuition is getting jittery and holding cash is like GOD when the full bad moon is on the high. Namaste.

People to avoid ..;

In real life, there are certain people whose presence is negative to us or provide the stress to us. The more they want to help , the more troubles come our way. It may be because of their luck but I think it is more towards their mentality. The mentality of self importance. In this world, there are good people, bad people and ugly people. Some good people to you, maybe bad to others and not everybody is the same. The characters of a person and their behaviour plays a very important part in this chemical mix. Some one has good vibes to more people than others or some people is the other way. When two people's chemistry harmonized , then they fell in love and it has a positive vibes on each other. But, through time, the vibes can changed and they could be harmful to each other even if they don't want to. It is a time to separate for the good of all. If two people live into their rightful age, it maybe because of the positive vibes between the couple and if otherwise, they could have die early or divorce long time ago. Things are impermanence and is always changing. Eventhough, we know that the other people is bad for us but yet we cannot denied or broke off rationally. The fate is sealed and the journey have to begun and live through. This is the reality of life. The fate is stronger than the logical deduction by ourself. If only logic is stronger, the world could have less miseries. There are exceptions of logic prevailing over fate and these are strong people who live their life in their way instead of determine by fate. Maybe living through the destined life is part of karma or challenge in life and it could not be avoided as choices determine your life for you. Namaste.

TGF - this is another Thanks God , its Friday

Our mind starts to slow down ahead of this coming weekend but the news from the past week have been damaging and negative. China is slowing down and probably to 6% from 7% and even that the data is suspicious and in real fact, it could be worst. Citibak said that there would not be a financial meltdown or hard landing but a sub-par growth.. hope that the projections will be right. For Japan, the weak Yen have help p in their exports but in real fact , there is a need for severe reforms in labor and a massive opening of their agricultural section to boost their domestic economy. US have the lowest jobless claims in the past 40 years, home sales improving, inflation was about 2% and all the factors warrants a rate hike and the rate hike will be in Sept 15. For EU. tje greek trouble is almost over with the greeks having to do a massive pension cut and will have to endure austerity drive for the next 10 to 15 years to keep them in the EU pact. The region's business is still soft. For the Ringgit, Malaysia is going into toubled and strange time. The growth is going down from 5 to 4% and possible to below sub-4% with all the sectors have hit with a slow down. With this in mind, the mood over the weekend is cautious and prudent. Things are not going to be good this year and the next as many people will get lay off , their spending cut, business will be badly affected and with all the dirts thrown into the circus and make the shit hit the fan and with all the "f&$*%*" smell oozing around making us sickly and condemn. What a sticky feeling with the sweat dripping into our underwears and making us uneasy. The hot weather outside did not help either , making us tired and edgy . Last night, I finished the season 5 of " the game of thrones " and it ended with Jon snow been stabbed and the queen of King's landing been parade across her kingdom in nude.. It was a really a long naked walk with her boos drooping and her pubic hairs covering her pit. People was throwing all sort of things at her as she has sin. Quite a pitiful sight and anti climax. It was a sad ending with Stanis , the legal hair to the seven kingdom killed while the mother of the dragons , surrounded by a strange tribe. It keep me anxious the whole night and not been able to sleep until i complete my meditation , twice in a night before I can doze off. It was not a smooth night and with the closing of the friday, I am really looking forward to the weekend to re-cuperate. Namaste.

Poor person's mentality

May 7, 2015  Jack Ma once said, 'When Selling to close friends and family, no matter how much you're selling to them, they will always feel you're earning their money, no matter how cheap you sell to them, they still wouldn't appreciate it.' There will always be people who do not care about your Costs, Time, Effort, they rather let other people cheat them, allowing others to earn, then supporting someone they know. Cause in their heart, they will always be thinking, 'How much did he earn from me?' instead of "How much did he SAVE/MAKE for me?" This is a classic example of a poor person's mentality! How did the rich people become rich? One of the main reason is because they are willing to SUPPORT their associates business, taking care of one another's interests thus naturally they get back more. Your Friends will in turn support you, thus the circle of wealth continues to grow and grow! Simple Logic, you will start to get rich once you understand it. Jack Ma on Sales: 'When doing Sales, the first people who will trust you will be Strangers, Friends will be shielding against you, fair-weather friends will distance from you. Family will look down upon you.' The day you finally succeed, paying the bill for every get-together dinner, entertainment, you will realised: Everyone else is present except the Strangers. Do you get the meaning of this? We need to treat our dear Strangers better! And even more so to Friends who know what you are doing and yet still SUPPORT you! Let us treat STRANGERS who buys from us better from today. They are your BEST customers!

Going through the dark times.

The dark times In our life, sometimes, we enter into a phase of dark times. Everything did not work smooth for us and we run into troubles and knocking into brick walls. We are disturb , our emotions unstable and our stress level shoot up and affecting our health. It is a time to sit back and reflect and control our emotions and response. There is a saying that we make the best speeches that we will never forget when we are angry. The words coming out strong and hurting and i ahve said before, it is a time to shut our gap and reflect on what is going around us and inside us. It is a time of reflection and recognition. Yes, luck is not with us and bottles could suddenly fell from the sky and hit us. Once in a million chance and it still happens. The black thick clouds hanging over our head and wherever we go , we cannot shake it off until it is the time to shake it off. There is a time for everything thing. Good,bad and the ugly. It cannot happen before its time, it cannot happen after its time but on the dot it will happen and we have to accept it and bear it all and become tolerance and resilent ie sit through the bad times. How we re-act to it, it is our choice but happen to us isn't. So , what we can do is to control our re-action to it and try to influence the outcome patiently. Sometimes, the harder we re-act, the bounce back is even harder. It does not mean that the harder we hit back, we can break it but instead it bounce back at double the speed and smash us right through. We have to be aware that we can influence the outcome but cannot determine the outcome. Life is like that and it is strange. The unknown remained the unknown. Live by this belief and things will be better. Namaste.

May's cafe -2

May's Cafe -2 The cafe is open for business on the 3rd day now and the reality is showing. The customers are not available automatically. In business , there is a lot of efforts needed to bring in customers and that is why shops open choose to open when there is a lot of human traffic. The convenience of parking , the food , the price and satisfaction of their "wants" apart from the relationship with the owners. Even if the relationship or the "kwanzi" is there but if the price , taste and place is not right , there could be no deals. So, for a good thing to happen , there should good weather , a suitable place and the harmony of the people. In F&B business , the factors are more than three especially the taste which includes color , smell and the look. The most difficult business is F&B business as there are so many more factors to consider and there is very little tolerance for mistakes relating the various factors . It is not impossible but it is a very difficult business . However , it is an experience and only when you are in the journey , then you can only understand and treasure the underlying problems with the business and how you need to overcome them. So, best of luck to my Dear Girl.. Namaste.

A hectic saturday

It was a hectic Saturday Yesterday was quite a day and was so hectic having to wake up at 6.45 am and wake up my daughter to get her to pray to the chinese gods for her cafe's opening day. Later, I attended her her cafe opening and it drag until 3pm and I have come home to change and take a taxi to the airport for the 3.30pm flight to KL to attend a reception arrange by my second sister in law at her condo. The plane touched down at KLIA2 and it was a long walk to the taxi stand. The taxi took an hour before we , my wife and myself reach the reception just in time for the dinner. The dinner drag until 9.30pm and by then I was very tired and I dozed off immediately after that . It was really a day to remember . Dung the trip , I was told that Gigi, a four years old dog at my eldest sister in laws house has died of a heart failure. It was a wayward dog before my SIL took her in and nurse her to health. It is a Buddhist belief that the dog could have repaid her master as my SIL have improved on her cancer treatment. Whatever, everything is fated and destination . Come what may. Namaste.

A fool's day

A fool remains a fool I have read so many news on the social media and I found some politicians are incorrigible stupid They don.t realize their mistakes or if they have make a mistake and fell flat on the dirt，they still hold on to their position and refused to backdown. They die by standing with face up miserably。 There are so many types of people and these are the stupid and clumsy type ，They have eggs on their face and try to keep looking good. They can also make chicken dance with eggs on their faces. They just don't know know how to backdown. They just don't have the wisdom， There are clowns but these are professional people who look stupid to make people laugh, but those political clowns are born stupid and yet holds high positions and make themselves prominent clowns. Maybe they are clever people who portray as clowns to confuse the situation and the people. In chinese wisdom ，pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger. This type of people is very dangerous . They can dance the chicken dance with eggs on their face and have a knife in their hands. Stupid and dangerous at the highest level. Be aware and see through them as they do the chicken dance and talking about killing the messenger 。 Fools rushes in to embrace them 、when angels fear the thread. Namaste.

Here we go again

Here we go again. History repeat itself because human being is a predictable creature. People never learn and is subject to amusements or Greed , cravings, gossips, emotions , revengeful and etc. it is a routine for most of the people and once you know what they like or the way they re-act, you can naturally gauge their response. Greed is the strongest desire . The greed for money, food , comfort , lust and enjoyment . These are the few selected ones but the list is exhaustive and long. Today , I read of a Casanova caught preying on 16 women and get away with their riches after abusing them with sex offers and was finally caught and sentenced to 5 years and 4 stoke of rottan. In the past there was more women and you can see that these women fall for the same trick and sweet talks. For men as well, they lost all their save keeping and wealth to those Ponzi scheme and fake multi level marketing concepts or fake sex drugs to satisfy their lust and so on. So here they go again to be slaughtered a few times all over again and yet cannot learn. Wish them luck and enjoy the slaughtering process.

May's Place -1

May's place -1 My daughter's cafe is ready for its official opening on the 18th of July 15 and I told her it will be a start of a hard journey in F&B business. The cafe is very simple set up and the concept is basic. Just a place for a simple lunch or dinner. Nothing to fuzz about except a few special dishes which they called their own. The food business is tough as it depends on individual taste. One man's meat is another man's poison. It is very difficult to prepare a dish that is perfect for everyone. Not only the taste, the spice , the presentation and the coloring needs to be prepared to each individual's preference. A slight Mia-match could be disastrous. Additionally, there is so much competition around for the same populace. The same number of people shifting here and there . Some shops open and some closed and there are so many promotion offers. Each outlet is trying to kill each other fo survival. There needs to be constant changes to the recipe and the menu. It is so competitive and fast moving. The survival of the cafe will depend on creativity and imagination. Of course, non of the business must be static. Otherwise , it will not survive. As I told my daughter, it is a long , hard and winding road if you choose to enter the business world. The only consolation is that she can fulfill her passion and have more freedom than in a career works. I wish her best of luck and live well as she travel her life journey. Namaste.

Does it matters?

True or not true... Does it matter? There is a wise saying between truth and untruth lies an area of perception. If we talk constantly on a lie , it becomes the truth. Of course , truth is truth , there is no way to dispute truth. What is happening in Malaysia is that there are a lot of spinning mills. Truth , half truth and lies. It is in a messy situation as news and data is coming out at any movement and it is for us to judge. If you asked whether a news is true or not true, it is really a very difficult question to answer. One time some people said something and after awhile they said that they have been misconstrued. There is no creditability at all and these people are out to confused the world and try to create a perception to sway the opinion of the people. To solve a difficult problem or to avoid a difficult problem , it is better to confuse the situation until the problem fade away or a solution is found. This is to buy time by confusing the people and this is by a way of trying to get your supporters to create more and more confusions to destroy a certain perceptions. It is a dope and anti dope tactic to survive. So now in the news there are so many conflicting news ie pro or anti and some are really stupid comments but it has a use ie to confused the public. There are many crowns who sacrifice their integrity to Apple polish their bosses. This is the world of hypocrites and survivors. Namste

Everybody have to go this way ....

Died in old age I got a call on an early Saturday last week , it was a sad news. My brother in law have passed away in the hospital where he was treated for bleeding in his stomach. He was in a steady condition until he suddenly vomited blood and pass away. He was 85 years old. He used to be very strong moving around in Penang on his own even at a ripe old age. Non of his daughters expected it and they were scolding the Doctors treating their father for negligence. The deceased was a very difficult man when he grew old and always nagging and grumbling and talking bad about everyone. Nobody seems to like him. I wonder why ? Perhaps he trying to get everybody's attention. I think he feels lonely and feeling useless while wasting away. This is normal for old people to behave this way. I hope not for me if I can reach this ripe old age. I attended his funeral in KL and I pay the last respect to him. He looked so small in his coffin and the wake was only for three days and he was cremated on Sunday. So, within a few days , he returned to ashes. Nothing . Gone from this earth. Vanished. Life is like this . It does not matter how rich or how famous or nasty you are and when the time comes . You have to go , you have to go. Billions of people have gone this way and there is no exception for you . Son live well, eat well and be happy . Everything is impermanent. Namaste
