Fish Supply

All members in our family love fish - big and small fishes. And groupa fish is my favourite. Whenever I found it at our fresh market, I would buy all of them as fresh catch are little, like this.


Too bad, big one for parents, small one we consume. Say like 1 meal, I will need to cook 3 fish that will only enough to feed a family of 4. I like to fried it. If the fish is bigger, steamed one is perfect to satisfy your tastebud.

I'm Teaching

Ohh yahh, I've forgotten to tell you that I'm now a teacher in my son's school.

Exciting and tension both come along when you are in this profession. I'm exciting because it's like putting a fish into the water. It come naturally for me to teach and guide children when I'm with them : ))

But, it's not that easy most of the time as kids nowadays are really overly protected and pampered by their parents. Teacher find it hard to coach when the kids become very stubborn and resist to listen to teacher. How to give in all the time to a 5 years old kids? Cannot all the time play ball and scooter what...

So, whatever you want to nurture a child, do it before they are 5. Mould them well while they were still young before it's too late.

What's in travellers pack

The TSA (Transport Security Administration) website has a list of permitted and prohibited items on the airplane; www.cbp.gov provides advice for international travellers; and
www.dhs.gov/xtrvlsec says it all: "Know Before You Go."

So, do a little homework before setting off on your dream trip.

Parenting is a Big Thing

Lately I have a strong urge to instill the sense of respect and filial piety to our young generation which totally lack of in today's modern living.

Young one can say bad about adults, and the adult never bother or intend to correct what has been said by those of younger. What the hell is this? I witnessed this myself when I was having coffee chat with group of friends.

The parent P came along with her daughter D. As we (adults) were talking, this 19year-old young lady interferes with her so-called 'thought' and gave unending of comments on parents. Furthermore, her parent seems agree and feel proud of what her daughter's lecture to the rest of us.

It make me reminisce during my time as a young lady at D's age, my parents don't even allowed me to interfere a single word in adult's conversation. Whenever there is guess in my house, as a young daughter, automatically my duty is to go to the kitchen and prepare drink (usually hot MILO) to serve to our guess. Once the drink is served on the living room's table, then get lost. My mother don't even allowed us to listen to their conversation, don't mention you want to interfere in their talk. We will get a serious lesson if being disobedient.

I can't deny that I was brought up from a strict and traditional type of family. Maybe because of that, I'm now a better person that still beholding the respect and filial piety values a lot. Looking at the people around me be it at my age, older or younger, gone are the days when parents were treated with utmost respect and held in high regard as the patriarch or matriarch in the family. Furthermore, off the school, the students are condemning teacher backed by their parents. At home, they don't even taught of, will these youngster learn moral values from the teacher at school?

What is happening to parents? Their duty is not end just after child-birth. Parenting is a big thing that it's not enough just to feed their young one. We got to nurture moral value, instill discipline, teach them how to respect and to equip them with right living skills to be a better person. It is an important role to play in shaping our tomorrow's leader.

Leadership At Stake

Our people in the organization and myself occasionally socialize with friends and groups in the IT industry as well as educational functions.

I noticed that there are tonnes of the so-called Leader that their leadership comes only from the position they are holding in an organization. This can't proof me wrong any further when I just met one 2 days ago.

More often that not, these leaders does not portray an identical leadership style to lead. Yet they want people to fully follow and listen to them not even allowed their group members to speak out. I'm a person who speak my mind and thought, do you think I will fully listen??? I don't even able to find a reason why people need to follow and listen!!

Let me tell you la.... a true leader that could make me 'tabik' from heart and mouth one are:-
1) He is able to make sacrifices for his people; a selfless self,
2) He has an identical leadership style that different from the others;
3) He is a forgiving person to his people; meaning to say he don't keep things in heart.

More often than not, ladies leaders are lacking of these traits that make them less a leader.
