and to all the caregivers, teachers, parents and family members of those with special needs...
The road less taken
It's a journey
As the saying goes,"There's always a light at the end of the tunnel."
Life is a challenge
Ours is a challenge even in simple things
Every laughter is accompanied by yours,
The world is evil but ours is not
When things go downhill, do not fret
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
I have been discussing and arguing with myself. There are many things that come to my mind all at once and being a perfectionist, I have a hard time figuring out which one to put first. Moreover, I am a person who starts great but a lousy finisher. I have a lot of my things hanging with no conclusion. The only thing that I managed to finish will be my books and stitches. Other than that, I can't finish anything thus, I'm very frustrated with myself. I even have conversations hanging without ending. There's a head without the tail... *sigh*
I just love clothes and I can pick from every rack and find the clothes that I like in my size. Now, I try my best not to bring money out while shopping so I won't be spending. It doesn't work that way as I can swipe with my credit card. Buy and pay later. Now, the best plan that I have in mind is buying an article of clothing every week. Maybe first week a pair of trousers or shorts or skirt, get a top on the second week, buy a blouse on the third week and get a dress on the fourth week. If there's a fifth week, buy anything that's on sale.
For my one year one country plan, I'm planning to go to China when Pinky goes back. The sad part is I can't roam the country myself as I'm a banana girl. My brother actually scolded those people who termed me a banana girl. It's so cool to have a protective brother. Actually I felt like screaming at them,"I'm not ashamed being a banana girl as I can speak Chinese no doubt I can't read or write. 
I'm fluent in English and Bahasa Malaysia. Shame on you who only know how to use broken English and do not master any languages. Not even Chinese~!" Oh, my plan for a cruise... I haven't decide on the day.
Don't even mention months, I'll be very happy if I can even follow my own plan to day 3. Usually I can't survive for 3 days. Now, I have so many reading materials. I have books from the church library. I have story books which I just bought but, it's so hard to juggle with reading and stitching.
Does my writing catch any of your interest? I have my Donkey Wisdom blog which I'm not even sure whether to continue them after the 7th bray. 
There are times when I have so much to write but sometimes, I have such great sense of pity for donkey. All the shoutouts sound more like self-consoling words of a legendary donkey. I'm amazed with myself that I have the guts to call a professor and a great man to many, a donkey. Yes... donkey. If I see the donkey in person, the first thing that will come out of my mouth will be, "Hey, D....~!"
My plan to restructure the interior of my house seems to take a slow path. Why are there so many books in the house? Where do all those books come from? Papers... papers are everywhere. I just wish they will turn into money. Cleaning takes forever. Today I clean, tomorrow there's dust again. Dust here, dust there.
followed by swimming. 
The BIGGEST problem is waking up early in the morning. It's school holidays... I don't wanna wake up so early. 8a.m. is just too early, but I have to get my butt up and drive to Botanical Garden. Jogging must start early because I can't swim in the afternoon or else I'll be roasted. I wonder how many layers of skin I have left. The new one is not completely out yet. 
That's the worst a person can do. I dislike people who are not punctual so I can't be like that. I try to be punctual if not early.
December is the month where I start teaching for 2011. I have a perfect timetable. 
This is the first time I sent my kids off to a camp. It's the annual JYR for those in the age group of 12 to 15. The three of them are 13. My precious and my youngest will be 'looking after' the other girl. Oh, boy... I'm a total wreck worrying whether they know what time to wake up, what when to change their clothes, have their meals without feeling shy, mix around with new friends, worry whether they have problems communicating with the others, worry whether they will roam around and get themselves lost and appear in the newspapers, worrying whether the mosquitoes will come and bite them, worrying whether they go to the toilet for their daily business. I nag and nag and nag until I have to shut myself up as I think my mom is not as noisy as I am. 
Said the night wind to the little lamb 
As Christmas is just around the corner... I know... I know... another month but still, I'm already in a Christmas mood. Just wanna share it with everyone around ~

These are the few examples that I can show you. The rest you will just have to contact me if you need any sort of minerals from Malaysia. I can be contacted directly at vincep60@gmail.com and the procedures for procurement will be conducted profesionally with terms and conditions applied. Everything will be done as private and confidential as it needs to be.
Business is business. Friendship and business do not mix. It is like oil and water which couldn't mix. It's more like cooking. You'll need oil to start off then you can mix water to make the gravy and it will come out wonderful. It will be a long term process to make it wonderful if put together. Trust is the key ingredient. Followed by integrity and honesty.
All scammers and dishonest people.... STAY AWAY~! My God is my boss and He is my advocate. As He says,"Vengeance is mine." and my God does business fairly.
I'm very tempted to use the floor brush to skin myself. It's so itchy all over and it's the first time I see such disgusting water bubbles forming on the skin on my arms. I went to the gym to work out the fat I've accumulated from eating sessions and time lazing around refusing to go to the gym. The sweat couldn't come out of the dead skin thus, I can see before my very eyes water bubbles. It was so itchy that I used my fingernails and poked a few and my sweat broke out. It's like releasing the fish from a plastic bag into a pond. I couldn't spend any more extra time in the gym as I was tempted to scratch all over the place thus, I hurried home and started blogging. That's what I'm doing now. I'm going to stitch and if I can't take it anymore, maybe I'll use my needle and poke everything. 
I do not have much to write about except to be the host to my British client for the next four days. I wish taking people around is as easy as giving out cupcakes. I'm always at a lost when come to bring people to visit my lovely island. It's like that cupcake. Not everyone likes coffee cupcake with a cherry on top. Some do not even like the cream. Some choke on the dry cupcake. Different people have different likings. I seriously do not know what is in Penang Island except for eating and shopping. We have so much yet so little. If you turn the cupcake the other way round, you will have a perverted image of a woman's asset. That's what someone taught me how to see it. Penang Island might be beautiful to others, but to me, it's just like any other place just that it's dirtier but the food is amazing. Still, it's weird to some.Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. [James 5:1]
You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. [James 5:5]Woven into the fabric of our passage are four promises of judgment.
The dividends are bitterness, cynicism, disappointment and emptiness, to name a few.
Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. [Proverbs 11:4] After we die, God will never ask to look at the balance in our bank account. The only balanace that will matter then is whether the righteousness of Christ has been credited to our account through faith in Him. Those whose accounts show only a negative balance of sin will have to pay the penalty of eternity in hell. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, 
but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. [John 3:36]
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. [Revelations 20:11-15]
“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
God's concern is not with actual wealth, but with our attitude towards wealth. God desires for us to possess an attitude of contentment not a constant craving for riches. The Lord is not condemning the rich, but He is judging those who long to be rich.
God's counsel is not against people who are wealthy, but against the wrong priorities of the wealthy. Being wealthy has its own peculiar risks and pleasures that twist priorities - becoming conceited and trusting in wealth for a sense of security. The proper priorities are fixing our hope on the Lord and being rich in good works.
