j. krish krishnamurti

This is my ex-boss, Mr. Krishnamurti, his wife Mrs. Krishnamurti and the latest addition to the family. Isn't she simply adorable. We have kept in touch even though it's been quite a number of years since he left Malaysia and the Krishnamurtis are now back in Toronto. Mr. Krishnamurti was a wonderful boss while both husband and wife were truly wonderful people with a beautiful heart. I continue to pray fro their well-being and wish them all that's beautiful in this life.

my work place

Our guest corner.

Another view of our guest corner. Of course we now have some lovely wall art.

This is the view from the guest corner. That door leads to the meeting room.

This is the main entrace to my office. Cosy ain't it ?

This is my "hole" within my office. That's my pet name for my workstation. I have no less that 10 sq.ft. of working space and that's a lot more than what a lot of others have. I have my own desktop and 3 printers ! Isn't that cool !!!

living alone

What can I say...I LOVE IT ! I don't mean to be insensitive. I love my family and do miss them all a whole lot. But the sense of freedom is overwhelming. Responsibility has new meaning to me now. In the past, I just needed to call home and I was sure that either my grandma, aunt or mom would be around. Living alone means that I have to make sure that the lights are all switched off, nothing left cooking on the stove, plants are watered (God only knows what a killer I am !) and wake-up for work less that "another 5 minute" excuse. I've learnt and am still learning. It's quiet at home but I've leant to appreciate the peace after a hard day at work. Thank goodness, I've made some really good friends at home. For those of you who don't know me, home to me is Armanee in Damansara Damai. My neighbour is a really lovely single mom. She's a Muslim lady with a 16 year old daughter. We get along famously and will often meet up just to chat or go out for that cup of coffee. She feeds me too ! Of course (when I do cook), I always make sure that I send something over to her. She loves soup cooked Chinese style ! Lately, I've thought about inviting my family overbut I'm just too damn lazy. Yeah....I'm that sort of daughter and niece. My mom always tells me, "Nobody will know even if I die !". Don't worry mom, I'm just a phone call away ! Ha Ha. You are all always in my thoughts and prayes even if I'm not with you in person.

neighbour's car stolen !

I am fuming. Not because it's my car but because it has happened too close to home. The car belongs to my neighbour. It's a car that both husband and wife have spent so much on; not just money but time and they simply adore the car. Having had 2 cars stolen myself, I know how it feels like. I could detach myself from the car itself but but not the feeling of loss. And to make matters worse, my neighbour has not been accorded any courtesy by the condo management where we live. They have been doing nothing less than taking her around in circles and being assholes and jerks for that matter.

There was a reason why we chose to live in a condo instead of a landed property. We expect security and we expect to be safe and to be able to have a good night's rest. We have been diligently paying our monthly maintenance fees and this includes security services (or does it now) ???

Fingers are pointing in all directions now. Every direction but the correct one ! Where is the accountability, responsibility and where is the security promised to us ?

How can a car be driven out from a secured premise ? What were the guards doing ? Let it be known that we have an access card system in place and my neighbour's card was not in the car !

This is what I have to say....BURGESS RAWSON GET OUT OF ARMANEE. YOU ARE A USELESS LOT !!!

welcome nurfariha izzati

Welcome Nurfariha Izzati. Born on Monday, September 22, 2008 and first grand-daughter to Radzaif and step-grand-daughter to Anne. Congratulations !

where has time gone ?

It only seemed like yesterday that I was still in school, on bikes and having fun spending others' hard earned money. Today, I'm earning my own and appreciating every cent that I earn. It's hard but it's rewarding too.

It's been a great life; not necessarily an easy one; but good. I have wonderful family and friends. My boss is great and I've been working for SNC-Lavalin for the past 13 years ! Could I ask for more ?

Effective Communication

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'

The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.' What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.' Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Great men say, 'Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness. In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience.' The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling!! And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!

The Perfect Husband

There are several men sitting around in the locker room of a golf club. After a round, showering and getting changed for the 19th hole.
Suddenly a mobile phone on one of the benches rings. One of the men picks it up, and the following conversation ensues:
(H - Husband, W - Wife)
H - "Hello?"
W - "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
H - "Yes."
W -"Great! I am at the mall two blocks from where you are. I just saw a beautiful leather coat. It's absolutely gorgeous!! Can I buy it?"
H -"What's the price?"
W - "Only $1,000."
H - "Well, OK, go ahead and get it, if you like it that much..."
W -"Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the 2005 models. I saw one I really liked. It's a SLK model. I spoke with the salesman and he gave me a really good price. and since we need to exchange the BMW that we bought last year...
H - "What price did he quote you?"
W - "Only $65,000..."
H - "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
W - "Great! But before we hang up, something else...
H -"What?"
W - "It might look like a lot, but I was reconciling your bank account and I stopped by the real estate agent this morning and saw the house we had looked at last year. It's for sale!! Remember? The one with a pool, English garden, acre of park area, beach front property."
H - "How much are they asking?"
W - "Only $450,000 -- a magnificent price...and I see that we have that much in the bank to cover..."
H - "Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid up to $420,000. OK?"
W - "OK, sweetie...Thanks! I'll see you later!! I love you!!!"
H - "Bye...I love you too..."
The man hangs up & closes the phone's flap. The other men are looking at him in astonishment and derision. The husband raises his hand while holding the phone and asks "Does anyone know who this Cell phone belong to???"

Two Red Indians and an Irishman

Two Red Indians and an Irishman were walking through the woods. A ll of a sudden one of the Red Indians ran up a hill to the mouth of a sm all cave.'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' he called into the cave and listened closely until he heard an answering, 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Woooooo! He then tore off his clothes and ran into the cave.The Irishman was puzzled and asked the remaining Indian what it was all about,.'Was the other Indian crazy or what?'The Indian replied 'No, It is our custom during mating season when Indian men see cave, they holler 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' into the opening. If they get an answer back, it means there's a beautiful squaw in there waiting for us.Just then they came upon another cave. The second Indian ran up to the cave, stopped, and hollered, 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' Immediately, there was the answer. 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' from deep inside.He also tore off his clothes and ran into the opening.The Irishman wandered around in the woods alone for a while, and then spied a third large cave. As he looked in amazement at the size of the huge opening, he was thinking, 'Hoo, man! Look at the size of this cave! It is bigger than those the Indians found. There must be some really big, fine women in this cave!'He stood in front of the opening and hollered with all his might 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' Like the others, he then heard an answering call, 'WOOOOOOOOO, WOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOO!' With a gleam in his eye and a smile on his face, he raced into the cave,tearing off his clothes as he ran.

The following day, the headline of the local newspaper read........ ......."NAKED IRISHMAN RUN OVER BY TRAIN!!!"

A Woman's Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Please no wrinkles, please no bags
And please lift my butt before it sags
Please no age spots, please no grey
And as for my belly, please take it away
Please keep me healthy, please keep me young
And THANK YOU dear Lord, for all that you have done.

An Interesting Way to Calculate Your Age !

DON'T CHEAT !

1. How many times would you like to go out to eat in a week (more than once but less than 10 times) ?
2. Multipy this number by 2
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50
5. If your birthday has passed this year, add 1758
6. If you haven't celebrated your birthday this year, add 1757
7. Subtract the 4-digit number of the year that you were born in
8. Now you should have a 3-digit number

The first digit was the original number that you used and the next two digits would be your age !

Classic Affairs

A married man was having an affair with his secretary.One day they went to her place and made love all afternoon. Exhausted, they fell asleep and woke up at 8 PM. The man hurriedly dressed and told his lover to take his shoes outside and rub them in the grass and dirt.He put on his shoes and drove home.'Where have you been?' his wife demanded.'I can't lie to you,' he replied, 'I'm having an affair with my secretary. We had sex all afternoon.' 'You lying bastard!You've been playing golf!'

A middle-aged couple had two beautiful daughters but always talked about having a son. They decided to try one last time for the son they always wanted.The wife got pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy.The joyful father rushed to the nursery to see his new son.He was horrified at the ugliest child he had ever seen. He told his wife, 'There 's no way I can be the f ather of this baby. Look at the two beautiful daughters I fathered! Have you been fooling around behind my back?'The wife smiled sweetly and replied, 'Not this time!'

A mortician was working late one night. He examined the body of Mr. Schwartz, about to be cremated, and made a startling discovery. Schwartz had the largest private part he had ever seen! 'I'm sorry Mr. Schwartz,' the mortician commented, 'I can't allow you to be cremated with such an impressive private part. It must be saved for posterity.' So, he removed it, stuffed it into his briefcase, and took it home. 'I have to show you something you won't believe,' he said to his wife, opening his briefcase.'My God!' the wife exclaimed, 'Schwartz is dead?!?!'

A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door. 'Hurry,' she said, 'Stand in the corner.' She rubbed baby oil all over him, then dusted him with talcum powder.'Don't move until I tell you,' she said. 'Pretend you're a statue.' ' What's this?' the husban d inquired as he entered the room. 'Oh, it's a statue.' she replied. 'The Smith's bought one and I liked it so much I got one for us, too.'No more was said, not even when they went to bed. Around 2 AM the husband got up, went to the kitchen and returned with a sandwich and a beer. 'Here,' he said to the statue, 'Have this. I stood like that for two days at the Smith's and nobody offered me a damned thing.'

A man walked into a cafe, went to the bar and ordered a beer.'Certainly, Sir, that'll be one cent.' 'One Cent?' the man thought. He glanced at the menu and asked, 'How much for a nice juicy steak and a bottle of wine?''A nickel,' the barman replied. 'A nickel?' exclaimed the man. 'Where's the guy who owns this place?' The bartender replied, 'Upstairs, with my wife.'The man asked, 'What's he doing upstairs with your wife?' The bartender replied, 'The same thing I'm doing to his business down here.'

Jake was dying. His wife sat at the bedside.He looked up and said weakly, 'I have something I must confess.' 'There's no need to,' his wife replied. 'No,' he insisted, 'I want to die in peace. I slept with your sister, your best friend, her best friend, and your mother!''I know, I know,' sh e replied. 'Now just rest and let the poison work.'

Banta Singh's Computer

Letter is from Banta Singh of Punjab to Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft

Subject: Problems with my new computer

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some Problems, which I want to bring to your notice.

1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.

2. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friends clicked 'run' he ran up to Amritsar ! So, we request you to change that to 'sit', so that we can click that by sitting.

3. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.

4. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this ' find' button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

5. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?

6. I brought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'MY Computer': when you will provide the remaining items?

7. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is noteven a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

8. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only..

9. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?

10. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God 's sake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.

Regards, Banta

Last one from me to Mr Bill Gates : Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but u are selling WINDOWS

Adam, Eve and God's Decision

Women & Math

Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply.
If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So - if you give her crap, you will receive a bucket full of shit !

God's Wife

An eye witness account from New York City, on a cold day in December, some years ago:

A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold.
A lady approached the young boy and said, 'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!'
'I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,' was the boy's reply. The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel. By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes. She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him.. She patted him on the head and said, 'No doubt, you will be more comfortable now.' As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her, 'Are you God's wife?'

The Silver Lining

Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott. Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen. On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. 'Guess what, Mom,' he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me.....'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'

Never Be Discouraged

On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little League base ball game that was being played in a park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was. 'We're behind 14 to nothing,' he answered with a smile. 'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you don't look very discouraged.' 'Discouraged?', the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face... 'Why should we be discouraged? We haven't been up to bat yet.'

A Child's Understanding

Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture had a different hair color than the other members. One of her students suggested that he was adopted. A little girl said, 'I know all about adoption, I was adopted..' 'What does it mean to be adopted?' asked another child. 'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!'

Soul Mate

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was: A four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy just said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'

Installing a Husband !

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as
Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as
NBA 5.0,
NFL 3.0 and
Golf Clubs 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate.

DEAR DESPERATE,

First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0update.

If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program . These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck Babe!

my beloved grandma

Forever in our hearts.......
4th September 1919 - 28th March 2000

Whether it was daughter, son-in-law, grandkids, friends, everyone called her Ah Ma. She was everything to us; beloved, mother, grandmother and friend. She had this silent strength and confidence about her. Never missed a day of prayer or praying for all of us. Come rain or shine, she would be dressed and ready for church. The only thing that seemed to upset her most was not being able to go to church.

The day she arrived at church to begin her final journey, her casket was set at the main entrance of the church and I decided that I needed a private moment with her. I looked at her face and I was amazed that she was wearing a serene smile ! There was a strange calmness enveloping me and I knew then that she was at peace and Home with God. Ah Ma was in God's loving embrace.

The day she died was the worst day of my life. I felt lost. The sadness and pain I felt was unbearable. I was alone at her bedside and witnessed life slipping away from her just like that. There was nothing I could do to stop it. I just stood there and watched, said a really long prayer to God and hoped with all my heart that she felt no pain. It was funny how I never shed a single tear. Not one ! I miss her with every passing second. I can still feel and smell her as though it was only yesterday that I was sitting across from her. Her last words to me were, "Don't forget to eat something." and then I left for work that morning. It was so hard for all of us to accept her death but we knew that we had to let her go. God had a plan for her. Her spirit lives on in each and every one of us; today, tomorrow and for the rest of our lives. God rest her sweet and gentle soul.

Eternal rest grant onto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May Ah Ma rest in eternal peace.

father ?

Father ? In case you are wondering, what I have is a biological father. If babies could be born of a test tube, I guess my father may have come from one too !

By my definition of 'father', a father is a man who has his fun and conveniently forgets the result of his fun and makes a joke of the lives he helped create, then 'yes' a name does come to mind.

It's been almost 9 years now that we have not been in contact. And NO....I do not regret severing the ties. In fact, it was the one thing that I know I did right in my life !

whatever happened to those legs ?

Gi, this happens to be one of my favourite photos.

You look like a doll; curly hair and that puzzled look !

Do you remember those lovely, huge sunflowers that Grandpa planted ? These were not the ordinary sunflowers from our local florists. I mean these sunflowers were huge, like the size of a dinner plate if not bigger.

adrian and the cabbage patch

Here's one photo that reminds me of so plenty. This photo was taken at No. 15, Jalan 17/28. We moved to this house when I was about 9 years old. Grandpa planted lovely roses of every imaginable colour and vegetables of every kind. I cannot find a way to explain how it looked, smelt or felt like. It's something that one needs to experience personally. It was a split level house with a room downstairs and three rooms upstairs. The master bedroom was huge and that's where we all slept. The other two rooms upstairs we rented out to university students. Times were hard, money was tight. The backyard....oh we had a huge garden behind. This is where you see Adrian standing and looking as confused as ever ! He must have been wondering why the plants were almost as big as he was. This is what I remember, we had long beans, cabbage, kai lan, tomatoes, watermelons, four angled bean, jagung......the list is long. Grandpa loved gardening and used to spend his time with the ever faithful cangkul and that funny bronze coloured canister that he would pump and pump and pump and spray the plants with insecticide. So very different from Grandpa, I never inherited his green fingers and somehow manage to kill even the hardiest of plants !

memories

It's all about the memories. I relate to each picture taken in a different way. Some remain freah in my mind and I can still feel it as if it was only yesterday. Each memory and photo hold something dear to me and it's something to remind me of what it was like and what it has lead to today. It's all about who I am. It's about ME.

Man's Best Friend

Hi to all human frens,

My name is Goldie. I'm a loving, friendly & sweet tempered dog looking for a loving home. Can you give me one? Or any of your frens?

I'm a 1 & half yr young lady, a bit on the big side but then again, big can be beautiful. To be exact I'm a 22kg blonde with doleful light brown eyes. I've just been spayed & vaccinated & the vet says I've got a clean bill of health.

My foster Mummy, Kay, says I'm still a bit cheeky but hey, I was just having some fun. What's a dog's life without some fun? Anyway the moment she raises her voice at me, I obey her every command. Aren't I a good dog?

Moreover I never mess up her house with my toilet habits - I much prefer to do it in the garden by the newspapers or the plants. So I'm a good girl, I am.

I'm also very loyal, you know. For eg, I'm really loyal to my foster Mummy who's real good & kind to me. She brought me to her home after I was rescued by Uncle Ken & Aunty HB from the streets where I had to search hard for food everyday, and had to fend off the other dogs to get to the food.

But Mummy says she can't keep me for long cos there are 4 other doggies in her home. So she says I've to start looking for another family to adopt me. I don't want to go back to the streets anymore, it's really miserable out there. So I'm holding my paws out to you or any of your frens if you can please, please give me a home? I promise I'll be a good & loyal girl to you.

If you can only help me, pls give my Mummy an email or a call - Kay Wong @ 019 326 0233.

I'd be so very thankful to you. May all great blessings come your way.

Love,

Goldie

Annual Property Assessment

Have you ever asked yourself why annual property assessment for condos are much higher than that of a landed property ? Doesn't make sense does it ? When it comes to landed properties, the local council has to maintain the roads, drains, landscaping, contract out services for garbage disposal, etc. These services are not accorded to owners of condos. Why then are we paying a premium on our assessment on top of paying our condo management a monthly maintenance fee ? Are condo owners being exploited ?
