What ya doin' during the holidays?

Woohoo...company holiday on 30th and 31st!!!
Can start to enjoy my year end holiday NOW.
Hooorrraayyy....
Let's share everyone's holiday plan here.

Are you ready?

Greetingsssssssss..................!!!

Hey comrades, are you ready to step into year 2009?
You have no choice but to say YES!
5 days to new year...have you ever ponder, what does 2009 mean to you?
Or...it is just another year to greet your n+1-th birthday?

To some, yeah...PMR, SPM, STPM...'dying' year. "Maybe i should make a deal with my father...one A how much should i get?"
I could remember, when i used to score straight As in UPSR, papa gave me RM2...muahaaha....mama gave me 50 bucks per A...but she tricked me to use up the money at the spa. I went to spa at age of 12 ..envy leh???hahahaha.
There is nothing wrong to think of monetary rewards because we are too young to understand the unseen benefit from study hard.
However, hopefully each of us will take this as a source of encouragement and there is a good plan for the rewards in the future.

Or... to our new HSD friends, it's your first year into secondary school... from being the eldest at school, you become the youn gest now. How do you see yourself?
Especially girls..."how do i handle if a guy ask me out?"
Pik...pok...pik...pok...heart beating faster...am dying liao!!!
Hope this is still happening to young girls these days...or dating started in primary school maybe...am i outdated, i think i'm not that far from teenage life hor?
Or guys...gangsterism? or you've your plan for the future already?
I remember during my first month in secondary school...we were asked of our ambition...so many ppl wanted to be an engineer...and in my mind...pls dun laugh, i was busy asking myself..."What is engineer?"...muahahaha. but don't laugh, you see, so many engineers these days. Life is actually so easy that if you built your dream since young and persevere through, you get what you want. I believe many ppl are like me in those day...my ambition fluctuate. One day i wanted to be an air stewardess, another day i want to be a judge...
I'm glad that at a young age, i committed seriously into Nichiren Daishonin's buddhism. Eventually know how to find my mission in this life. And whoop...am contributing to nation building through education...sounds noble or, outdated? hahaha. My company send me to japan wan leh...outdated pun jadilah...haha. But i find my job fulfilling and challenging.
So it is definitely the best occupation for me at this very moment.

Everybody has turning points in his/her life. But once we turn shall we fly or shall we dive...? Which would be the best road? The one that you chose will definitely be the best as long as we travel it with faith, study and practice.
Not many ppl in this world can be as fortunate as us to meet the Nichiren Daishonin's buddhism at such a young age. Do you believe you will hungry if you don't eat? Then you believe there is cause and effect...then you believe in the manifestation of karma. Something in your pastlife has brought you to this buddhism in this lifetime. Therefore, make the best out of it.

There is nothing absolute in our life. Change is the only constant in life. Do you agree?
Therefore, at this very final week of year 2008, sit back and analyse yourself. Review of everything has been done, enough or is there rooms for improvement? Plan for a 2009 which you could proudly show off to the person inside the mirror. (You know who you see in the mirror right?)

Finally an IQ test...
There was a myth, saying that every night at 12am, in front of the mirror, if you could peel the apple without breaking the skin into pieces, then you will see your life partner in the mirror.
So, one day biy gnaak tried and successfully peel off the skin in only one piece, and you guess who biy gnaak saw in the mirror?



hahahha...get get back to real life...you are the one who choose for a cruel life or a fruitful life.

yours,
The MATHEMATICIAN

The Mushroom Story.. =]

Hey people! I'm here today to tell all of u a joke(its actually a TRUE STORY)... =]

Once upon a time, there was a Princess who loves to bath in the sea near the beach. So, the rumour went out and there was a guy name BIY GNAAK who wanted to see the Princess NAKED. But the clever BIY GNAAK knew that if he just went to the beach and see, the Princess could see him as the beach was usually empty. So, he decided to hide in the sand(camouflage) before the Princess went to bath in the sea.

As the Princess was getting out from the sea, she saw a SHORT and THIN mushroom growing between 2 rocks on the beach. She was surprised as that was the 1st time she saw a mushroom grown on the beach. She wanted to pluck it to bring it back to the palace and show it to her dad, the king. But no matter how hard she tried to pluck, the mushroom just couldn't come out. She was disappointed and went back to her palace.

The guy, after experiencing such exciting yet painful experience was overly joyful and decided to go back to his village to tell everyone just to show off. When the guys from the village found out, they decided to do the same thing too.

So, once again the Princess finished bathing and went to the shore and this time, she was surprised as there were more mushroom that day.But she knew that the mushrooms can't be plucked. So, she said to her servant "cut all this mushroom and bring back to the palace as souvenirs"

Being with Children!

There was a Shonembu meeting on 27th Sept 2008, Sat. It was a collaboration with some HSD youth and the WD's to handle the meeting. I was part of it. =)

Handling a meeting with the Shonembu was a mind blowing event, as I saw so many differences with the HSD group and the Shonembu's, even the ones who are going to graduate from Shonembu to HSD. Mind me, especially the ones who are going to graduate to HSD. They are desperately mischievous! MY GOODNESS ME!!!!!

However, there is always a plus side in the everything. The plus side, they are more spontaneous in the meeting, where as, the HSD are more reserve. In the meeting I was the one who share my experience with them, hoping to be able to inspire them, but in the end it became a night market. They were all adding stories to my experience, the WD were all shaking their heads, Choy Yee, Kaang Yib and MnX were all laughing their heads off. This shows that they are actively participating in the meeting. Unlike the HSD again, "very good listener". MY GOODNESS ME!!!!!

After the meeting, it strikes me that was I that bad before? They were BIG bullies!!!. All in all, it was a great and tiring night.
