Micro Machines

2011-02-18T10:12:00.000+08:00

Remember Micro Machines? They were my favourite toy when I was a kid. I didn't have much of it. My parents were kinda stingy. But I can't blame them. They have 2 more other kids to bare with. LOL...

I found this online. I on the other hand only had less than 10 cars. And I don't have them anymore. :(

If you've not seen it before. Yes, it's that small.

They even have Micro Machines for StarWars. Cool huh...

How much do you think my car would cost now if I still had them? Haih...

The Romancing Night of Chap Goh Meh

2011-02-14T14:41:00.000+08:00

Happy Chap Goh Meh!

On the 15th day of Chinese Lunar year, Chinese community in Penang celebrated Chap Goh Meh. According to legend, this fascinating festival tells a story of a lonely young man who during his first outing saw one of the most beautiful women his sights ever laid on. He was immediately enraptures by her stunning looks.

Despite the excitement & exhilaration pounding in his heart, the young man quickly jotted down the number of her car. On the very next day, he made a search and enquiries on which this car belongs to. When he got to know the address, he quickly asks his mother to send a matchmaker to his dream girl's home to arrange the
marriage. In such haste and without investigation, the young man did not realize that the beautiful girl he had seen that day was actually not the daughter of the house but a visiting niece.

And so on his wedding day, the poor groom found that instead of looking at the radiant smiling girl he had expected, he was to be married to her fat and rather plain cousin. The story does have a rather happy ending though, as his wife was a wealthy woman!

Chap Goh Meh in Mandarin was called Yuan Xiao, but in the traditional Hokkien dialect of Penang, Chap Goh Meh means the 15th night of Chinese New Year. It is celebrated with prayers and offerings to mark the end of the Chinese New Year.

During this auspicious occasion, houses are brightly decorated with lights and lanterns are hung over the balcony or five-foot ways for the last day of the Chinese New Year. Prayers to the ancestors are offered. Despite a ban, firecrackers are lit as a 'send-off' to the New Year. The next day, people go back to work, businesses
operate as usual and everyone is looking forward to the next Chinese New Year.

Various activities are planned to mark this very traditional occasion but the two mainstays are the Dondang Sayang and orange/tangerine throwing ceremony. In the morning, nyonya households will distribute pengat, a sweet and rich broth of tubers and bananas to relatives and friends.

As evening falls, the atmosphere relaxes as the gentle strains of Dondang Sayang fill the air. Dondang Sayang, which means "lullaby of love", is interplay of sung poetry, usually revolving around the theme of love, between a man and a woman, trying to outwit each other in the name of affection whilst traditional music plays in the
background.

In the past, Chap Goh Meh was one of the few occasions where eligible young ladies, transformed into scorching beauties, were allowed out from the confines of their homes. Eager gentlemen could only admire longingly at all the passing beauties, as the lovely ladies were always accompanied by an entourage of the fiercest looking aunts and amahs (servants)! These young maidens (and spinsters) would throw oranges into the sea as a gesture of hope to wed good husbands.

To keep this quaint tradition alive in modern times, orange throwing has transformed into a competition of sorts, where oranges thrown into the sea by girls (single or otherwise) would be scooped up by boys in boats. The boat with most oranges would be declared the winner.

So, if you're coming to Penang during this occasion, don't forget to drop by at the esplanade where the yearly orange throwing competition is being held. You can also participate in the competition if you like.

Are You Living Like a Prostitute?

2011-01-18T13:48:00.000+08:00

Found this post on random thoughts. Just wanted to share with all of you.

Some of you may already know that I travel around the region pretty frequently, having to visit and conduct seminars at my offices in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Su Zhou (China). I am in the airport almost every other week so I get to bump into many people who have attended my seminars or have read my books.

Recently, someone came up to me on a plane to KL and looked rather shocked. He asked, ˜How come a millionaire like you is travelling economy? My reply was, that’s why I am a millionaire. He still looked pretty confused.

This again confirms that greatest lie ever told about wealth (which I wrote about in my latest book Secrets of Self Made Millionaires). Many people have been brainwashed to think that millionaires have to wear Gucci, Hugo Boss, Rolex etc (I shop at G2000 by the way) and sit on first class in air travel. This is why so many people never become rich because the moment that earn more money, they think that it is only natural that they spend more, putting them back to square one.

The truth is that most self-made millionaires (not those lucky bast**ds who inherited money) are frugal and only spend on what is necessary and of value. That is why they are able to accumulate and multiply their wealth so much faster. Over the last 7 years, I have saved about 80% of my income while today I save only about 60% (because I have my wife, mother in law,2 maids, 2 kids, etc to support). Still, it is way above most people who save 10% of their income (if they are lucky). I refuse to buy a first class ticket or to buy a $300 shirt because I think that it is a complete waste of money. However, I happily pay $1,300 to send my 2-year old daughter to Julia Gabriel Speech and Drama without thinking twice.

When I joined the YEO (Young Entrepreneurs Organization) a few years back (YEO is an exclusive club open to those who are under 40 and make over $1m a year in their own business) I discovered that those who were self-made thought like me. Many of them with net worth’s well over $5m, travelled economy class and some even drove Toyotas and Nissans. I noticed that it was only those who never had to work hard to build their own wealth (there were also a few ministers and tycoons sons in the club) who spent like there was no tomorrow. Somehow, when you did not have to build everything from scratch, you do not really value money. This is precisely the reason why a family’s wealth (no matter how much) rarely lasts past the third generation. Thank god my rich dad (oh no I sound like Kiyosaki) foresaw this terrible possibility and refused to give me a cent to start my business.

Then some people ask me, What is the point in making so much money if you don’t enjoy it? The thing is that I don’t really find happiness in buying branded clothes, jewelry or sitting first class. Even if buying something makes me happy it is only for a while it does not last. Material happiness never lasts, it just give you a quick fix. After a while you feel lousy again and have to buy the next thing which you think will make you happy. I always think that if you need material things to make you happy, then you live a pretty sad and unfulfilled life.

Instead, what makes ME happy is when I see my children laughing and playing and learning so fast. What makes me happy is when I see by companies and trainers reaching more and more people every year in so many more countries. What makes me really happy is when I read all the emails about how my books and seminars have touched and inspired someone’s life. What makes me really happy is reading all your wonderful posts about how this BLOG is inspiring you. This happiness makes me feel really good for a long time, much much more than what a Rolex would do for me.

I think the point I want to put across is that happiness must come from doing your life’s work (be in teaching, building homes, designing, trading, winning tournaments etc and the money that comes is only a by-product. If you hate what you are doing and rely on the money you earn to make you happy by buying stuff, then I think that you are living a life no better than a prostitute.

Facebook to shutdown 15 March is a HOAX!

2011-01-12T11:02:00.000+08:00

Facebook will not come to it's end on 15 March!

Facebook responds to news report saying, "we're just getting started"

Internet faux news site Weekly World News posted an outrageous story that Facebook will be shut down on March 15th 2011, due to the stress it has put Founder Mark Zuckerberg through.

I guess Tabloids will always be Tabloids.

Sheesh...

Play Angry Birds on your laptop!

2011-01-10T12:13:00.000+08:00

Hey! Just my luck! I now can play Angry Birds on my laptop. Yay!

According to TheNextWebsite, Angry Birds is available for a nifty fee of $4.99, but soon the prices will raise to $9.99/£5.99/€7.99, depending on from where you’ll be making your purchase. Damn...

I bet it's real fun playing Angry Birds on a PC. I can't wait to give it a try. What do you think about it?

Facebook will come to an end on March 15!

2011-01-09T17:01:00.000+08:00

Is this for real? That Facebook will come to an end on March 15. According to Weekly World News, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March. Managing the site has become too stressful.“Facebook has gotten out of control,” said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”

So this is it.

I say good riddance. What do you say?

Angry Birds

2011-01-05T11:31:00.000+08:00

“Lemme tell ya, these ain’t no ordinary finches we’re talkin’ about. These here are the Angry Birds, the ones that’s gonna kick you in the ‘nads. And they’re the ones on your side. They must be from Galapadapados, or sumptin’.” – Col. Angus, Bird Expert.

What is Angry Birds? Everyone is talking about Angry Birds. For those who still don't know, Angry Birds is a puzzle video game in which players use a slingshot to launch birds at pigs stationed on or within various structures, with the intent of destroying all the pigs on the playfield.

Haha.. sounds easy right? No, not really. Check out their Cinematic Trailer.

It is so popular, the people from China decided to take it to the next level. Check this out!

Inception

2010-07-20T11:04:00.000+08:00

Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.

In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a single idea within one's mind can be the most dangerous weapon or the most valuable asset.

Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

Written by Warner Bros. Pictures

Can you imagine someone hacking through your mind to seek information. Wow.. I can't imagine. But even if it's possible, it is not something we should be toying around with.

Inception will thrill you. Trust me...

Slash live in Kuala Lumpur

2010-06-18T11:56:00.000+08:00

Come August, the legend of guitar himself, Slash of Guns N Roses will rock Kuala Lumpur with the latest tracks from his first ever solo album.

Few artists in rock ‘n’ roll can carry off a single name, and carry it with gravitas. That is except Slash. And few guitarists command as much respect as Slash. So when he started making calls to his all-star wish list of singers and players he wanted to work with him on his current album, he didn’t hear no. Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop, Kid Rock, Dave Grohl and Fergie all artists who have the luxury of saying no to plenty of requests – all easily and quickly said yes. And so, Slash, was born.

Experience for yourself and see the legend of guitar himself performing tracks from his first solo album and also songs from Guns N’Roses such as “Sweet Child of Mine”, “Paradise City” and more. Come and prepare to be rocked!

Tickets can be obtained by through FATDEAL website - www.fatdeal.com.my or by calling FATDEAL Hotline - 03 7862 2000 or their authorised outlet at Victoria Music Centre at Sungai Wang Plaza, The Bangsar Shopping Center and Tropicana City Mall.

Check out Slash's tour date here!!

p/s- Coheed and Cambri will be opening for Slash in Singapore. I wonder who will be opening for Slash in Kuala Lumpur?

Firefly at LCCT soon

2009-10-15T17:31:00.005+08:00

Firefly’s strong and unpredictable message has been published in newspaper and in their website (http://fireflyz.com.my). The message created a buzz among many Malaysians.

Some guessed that Firefly will be operating from LCCT, some guessed that Firefly will be moving to LCCT and some even guessed that Firefly have gone nuts by competing with AirAsia at LCCT.

I thought that their idea was brilliant. They created a buzz among so many people (you can see comments from their Facebook fans-Firefly Airlines), even my friends was talking about it. The ads also stirred people in thinking that they will be operating from LCCT. Many said it was impossible that they want to operate from LCCT, but the point is, they still did thought of that idea. If they (FY) did, Tony will be so mad right? They (Air Asia) didn’t get the rights to fly from Subang Skypark and now they have to share with Firefly?

Initially, I think Firefly just want to stirred people in thinking that. I’m sure they must have gotten a lot of emails and phone calls in pertaining to this advertisement. I’m also pretty sure that’s what they want from the people – ATTENTION!

Yesterday, they revealed the truth- that they are just opening a ticketing counter at LCCT. Thank God! Otherwise, there will be war from AK against FY.

To celebrate their new ticketing counter, Firefly is actually giving out FREE return tickets to the first 10 purchasers of Firefly tickets at LCCT counter. I believe it starts from 15 – 20 October only. Return ticket? That’s generous! Too generous, don’t you think so?

Anyways, I’ve flown with Firefly before. I know it’s a bit smaller than Boeing (being this tall and big, I wonder if I have claustrophobia), but the seats actually have wider space for my leg and it is easier to slide in with the 2 across leather plush seats.

I love it that they serve free light refreshments on board and they let me have 20kg baggage allowance. With that, I have no reason not to shop more right?

I think I’ll probably go get the ticket for my Penang trip with my friends first thing tomorrow morning so *finger-crossed*, I hope we are the first 10 to get there.
