MOTHER, MAY I BORROW $25 FROM YOU!

A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door.

SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'

MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.

SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'If you must know, I make RM 50 an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: 'Mummy, may I please borrow RM 25?'

The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down, and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that RM 25 and he really didn't ask for money very often . The woman went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

'Are you asleep, son?' She asked.

'No Mummy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the woman. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the RM 25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Mummy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.

'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the mother grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.

'Mummy, I have RM 50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The mother was crushed. She put his arms around her little son, and she begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that RM 50 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Please don't break this even if you only send it to one person. Thanks

7 reasons not to mess with children

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale..
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head..
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."
"Yes," the class said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted,
"Cause your feet ain't empty."

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE . God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."

It doesn't matter how many people you send this to, just remember if it made you laugh, your friends will laugh

Five Regrets of the Dying By Bronnie Ware Platinum Quality Author

For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives.

People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learned never to underestimate someone's capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventuallyacceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.

When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:

1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see howmany dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people have had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.

It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.

2. I wish I didn't work so hard.

This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.

By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.

3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.

Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and neverbecame who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as aresult.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speakinghonestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track themdown. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deepregrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.

It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip.  But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physicaldetails of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content.  When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again.

When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, and choose honestly. Choose happiness.

Latest scam tactics in Taiwan...it will likely to nearer to you soon! So please be aware.

DO NOT LEND YOUR HANDPHONE TO STRANGERS !!! 

These con artists who will approach you are likely to be a female or an elderly person. They will tell you that they just got rob and need to call the police. Right in front of you, they will call 110, 911 or 119 (the emergency tel for the local police). They will speak loudly for you to hear that they are reporting a case but halfway through, they will pretend that the reception is poor and walk about 5meters away from you with their back towards you.

All they need is 1min and a tiny gadget that acts as a USB (available for sale in China) to copy your entire phone book contacts.

Then over the next few hours, they will SMS to all your contacts, pretending to be you (with your tel no appearing in your contact's phone). The SMS will say that you are now overseas, in trouble with the police, you cannot use your phone and that is why you are sending out SMS. You need help to transfer money to an account. Usually the amount they ask is within affordable range. Your phone will not be contactable for the few hours that they are busy sending out SMS. So your family and friends will believe you are in trouble. 

The case below happened to a Taiwanese and he reported to the local police a few days later when his friends finally manage to contact him and he learned that he was being duped. The police told him that this is an old trick that they use to target tourists and now they are moving to the locals.

So my friends, please do not lend your phone to ANYONE you do not know. If they really want help, send them to the nearest police station!

手機千萬不要借給陌生人用！！！ 兄弟，借個手機打一下吧! 別以為手機在妳視線範圍內就沒有事！ 也不能感歎為什麼現在的社會，人與人之間情誼越來越淡薄. 衹要男人別好色，女人同情心不泛濫，以下例子不會發生在各位身上滴。。。 手機千萬不要借給別人用！！！ 我現在的天是灰色的，無緣無故的背上了三十多萬的債務，雖然這些錢不會讓我沒飯吃，但是這種賠錢和欠錢方式，我實在是無法接受。我給大家講我這幾天的真實經歷，情景還原： 4月4日清明節這天，我和老婆去金寶山掃完墓覺得時間還早，就去百貨公司買幾件換季新衣服，逛到二樓的時候，老婆內急去廁所，我就在廁所外面等她，這時跑過來一個女孩（這女孩很漂亮，165的個頭，打扮的很時尚，很清純的裝扮，是男人誰也無法拒絕對這樣一個女孩的幫助那一型，但怎麼也不可能拿她和騙子劃等號。）含著淚對我說： “大哥，您借我手機用一下好嗎?  我的皮包連手機剛才被人偷了，我要報警，求求您了。 我當時啥都沒說就把手機拿給了她，她當著我的面就打了110，然後和police大人對話，這一切的一切都非常正常，我沒有任何戒心，然後她喂喂了兩聲說信號不好，就往我遠處走了五 六米 ，並且背對著我打電話，因為還在我的可控範圍內，而且她說什麼我都聽的到，我也沒有警惕，說實話誰能對這樣一個弱不禁風打扮時尚的美女有戒心呢？ 她大概背著我和police交流了兩分鍾，然後轉過頭把手機遞給我：“大哥，實在太謝謝您了，police一會就到，您真是好人。 ” 我一看手機完好就說：“沒事的，能幫到妳最好了，以後要把手機放好了” 這時老婆出來了，我們就繼續逛商場了，一切看著那麼平淡正常！！！ 但是噩耗已離我不遠  。。。。。。。。。。 4月6日，我和我老婆的手機就傳來了一個接著一個的怪異的訊息，第一個接到電話的是我老婆，是她妹妹打來了說：“姐夫怎麼回事呀？在大連PC(嫖妓)被抓了，怎麼找我來借錢呀？” 第二個是我的一個下屬打來的說：“胡哥，錢匯過去了，趕緊把事情擺平吧，我手上就這30000現錢，都給妳匯過去了，希望能幫上忙。” 這時我跟我老婆已經傻了，不停的解釋著，接著接到了不下100個電話，整個一天我們都在解釋著、辯解著，手機一直沒停過，到晚上終於沒有電話了，我和老婆靜下來的思考結果是： 我遇到騙子了，騙子以我的名義給我所有的親朋好友發短信，說我出事了，在大連PC被抓了，現在需要50000塊錢贖身，手裏沒有那麼多現錢，不敢和家裏人要錢，在拘留所裏不能接聽電話，衹能找妳相助  。。。。。。。。 我意識到了問題的嚴重性，趕緊要來了敗壞我名譽的電話號碼給他打電話，但是,不是無人接聽就是忙，發短信也不回。 我頭完全大了，不知所以，誰能這麼準確知道我那麼多的聯繫人呢？ 而且知道所有人的姓名，我想是不是手機中毒了，號碼被盜走了。 第二天繼續接到很多詢問電話，我才意識到問題的嚴重性，公司主管也給我打來了電話  。。。。 我當時想去尋死了。。。。這絕對是我當時的真實想法，已經沒有勇氣面對眼前這件事了，因為我在國營企業上班，遇到這種傷風敗俗的事情，以後很難﹛起頭了。 由於我沒有頭緒，毫無解決辦法，我趕緊找我的一個當pollice的朋友幫忙，我去他單位找他，把這件事從頭到尾跟他說了一遍，沒想到他樂了： “哎呀。。。。，你也上這種當了，這個專偷手機號碼的騙子太可恨了，說實話我今早上也收到你的求救短信了，但是我不信是真的，正想有時間就給妳打電話呢，沒想到你就來了。春節過後我們接到好幾起這樣的報案了，這幫人專騙外國人的，沒想到現在開始琢磨國人了。 他告訴了我一切：我的police朋友是這樣闡述作案流程的： 1、 騙子通常都是女性或者老人利用借手機名義，把你手機拿到手，用一種名叫“備備手機號碼備份器”迅速盜取手機號碼，能夠在幾秒鐘內就能將你手機通訊錄的電話號碼和SIM卡裏的電話號碼同時提取，儲存在那個機器裏，衹要將他和手機用手機資料線相連就一眨眼的功夫，你的手機通訊錄就失竊了。 2、 騙子通常會以當事者的名義發簡訊給你通訊錄裏的人行騙，編的故事通常很惡劣，讓被騙方不便打電話求證詢問，一般都是騙男士，說是在異地PC被抓，趕緊匯款過去救命。 3、 作案者通常是收到幾筆款後就登出賬號了。

天呀，聽到這些之後，我崩潰了，趕緊跟我手機裏聯繫人群發了短信，告訴了他們事情經過，別讓他們受騙。最後統計共有9個親朋好友上當受騙了，兩個表弟，兩個同學，一個客戶，四個下屬 。。。共計36萬7千元。。。

現在警方正在追捕嫌疑犯，但是能抓到可能性很小，這些人都是慣犯，很狡猾的。

如果過兩天抓不到，我衹能自己去還這些錢。錢不是最大的問題，關鍵是我這人丟大了，公私所有人都知道這件事了，以訛傳訛說我在外地PC被抓了，被騙了好多錢。。。。。。

朋友們千萬不要把手機借給陌生人了，不要走我的老路，誰找你借手機，都不能借。

剛開始看的時候我還不信，哪有這麼強大的產品，幾秒鐘就能備份出電話號碼？後來一查“備備手機號碼備份器”，果然有啊！簡直是行騙走江湖的必備法寶啊！

How to prepare soymilk.

The Way to Prepare Soymilk

Firstly,
It’s very easy to make soymilk at home.
If you make soy milk on a daily basis you might find an automatic soymilk maker (also called soy milk machine) such as: Soyajoy, Soylife, Soyquick, Miracle, Soyawonder or Vegan Star very helpful.

Step1: Ingredients
You need about 125 g whole soya beans to make 1 liter of soy milk.

Step2: Soaking and dehulling the soya beans
Clean the soya beans and soak them in water for 10 – 17 hours. Although not necessary,
you can remove the hulls be kneading the soya beans and flushing the loose hulls with water.
Removing the hulls makes the extraction process more efficient. An alternative is to crack the soya beans before soaking.
The hulls come loose easily and can be washed away. When you use cracked soya beans you need less soaking time: 6 – 8 hours.

Step3: Heating the soya beans (it’s optional)
Heating the soya beans will destroy enzymes which are responsible for the development of beany flavour.
This heating can best be achieved by microwaving the wet soaked soya beans during 2 minutes.

Step4: Grinding the soya beans
Grind the soaked soya beans and 1 liter water in a blender. Sieve the mixture trough a cheese cloth and recover the soy milk.

The insoluble material which remains on the sieve is called okara, and can be used as an ingredient for bread making or as cattle feed. 

Step5: Boiling the soy milk
Heat the soy milk till boiling point and continue boiling for about 5 to 10 minutes.
After cooling, the soy milk is ready and can be kept in the fridge for another 3 days.

Step6: Flavouring the soy milk (optional)
The soy milk can be drunk as such but you can improved taste by adding some salt (also cow milk contains a lot of salt).
With soy milk you can easily make your own fruit smoothie. 

Fruit smoothies are very healthy because they contain soy milk and a lot of fresh fruits.

The Tomato Story

A Jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft.
The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

'You are employed' he said. Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.

The man replied 'But I don't have a computer, neither an email'.

'I'm sorry', said the HR manager. If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job.'

The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate.

He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60.

The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday.

Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US ..
He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.

He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan....
When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his email.
The man replied,'I don't have an email.'
The broker answered curiously, 'You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail?!!' The man thought for a while and replied,
'Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!'

Moral of the story

Moral 1
Internet is not the solution to your life..

Moral 2
If you don't have an Internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.

Moral 3
If you received this message by email,
you are closer to being an office boy/girl, than a millionaire..........

10 Steps to a Successful Career Change

Interested in a new career? If so, it is important to take the time to evaluate your present situation, to explore career options and to choose a career that will be satisfying for you.

Ten Steps to a Successful Career Change

1. Evaluate your current job satisfaction. Keep a journal of your daily reactions to your job situation and look for recurring themes. Which aspects of your current job do you like/dislike? Are your dissatisfactions related to the content of your work your company culture or the people with whom you work?

2. Assess your interests, values and skills through self help resources like the exercises in What Color is Your Parachute. Review past successful roles, volunteer work, projects and jobs to identify preferred activities and skills. Determine whether your core values and skills are addressed through your current career.

3. Brainstorm ideas for career alternatives by discussing your core values/skills with friends, family, networking contacts and counselors. Visit career libraries and use online resources like those found in the Career Advice section of the Job Search website.

4. Conduct a preliminary comparative evaluation of several fields to identify a few targets for in depth research.

5. Read as much as you can about those fields and reach out to personal contacts in those arenas for informational interviews.

6. Shadow professionals in fields of primary interest to observe work first hand. Spend anywhere from a few hours to a few days job shadowing people who have jobs that interest you. Your college Career Office is a good place to find alumni volunteers who are willing to host job shadowers.

7. Identify volunteer and freelance activities related to your target field to test your interest e.g. if you are thinking of publishing as a career, try editing the PTA newsletter. If you're interested in working with animals, volunteer at your local shelter.

8. Investigate educational opportunities that would bridge your background to your new field. Consider taking an evening course at a local college. Spend some time at one day or weekend seminars. Contact professional groups in your target field for suggestions.

9. Look for ways to develop new skills in your current job which would pave the way for a change e.g. offer to write a grant proposal if grant writing is valued in your new field. If your company offers in-house training, sign up for as many classes as you can.

10. Consider alternative roles within your current industry which would utilize the industry knowledge you already have e.g. If you are a store manger for a large retail chain and have grown tired of the evening and weekend hours consider a move to corporate recruiting within the retail industry. Or if you are a programmer who doesn't want to program, consider technical sales or project management.
