Two Old Buddies' Birthday

I have two friends whose birthday is on today and the day after. Well, I called up this friend of mine to wish him "Happy Birthday", he didnt pick up the first call, in fact I wish to call because I am not too sure whether he still holds the same phone no as for the last few years, I just text him message.

Luckily, he rings back but I was engaged on the other line. Quickly called back and said "Happy Birthday, my friend"...he is surprised.:)

Back in Form 5 (1988 - 18 years back), we have a culture whereby we will treat each other on our birthday (simple dish...kampua mee or those wish to do bigger...somien cooked by mum),...that is how, I have remembered till today.

Those were the days !

Something is not right

Hey, today seems not to be a smooth day in my office...first we have virus attack on few of our PCs...then we have a big dead rat discovered in between the walls though we have been suspecting few months back (the smell is really terrible)....before 5pm just now, we have learnt that our aircon in the server room broke down...

My staff says may be it is good to buy 4D.

Coincidently, today is a senior staff's last day with the company. Any relevances ?

I hope that that is all for today and from tommorow, we shall soar like eagle in the air again !

How Is Life Without A Friend ?

A question seems difficult to understand as one would have a friend somehow, somewhere or someone unless he or she is living in an Island, like Robinson Crusoe ?

A friend can be your wife, family members, sons or daughters, another human beings (some may befriend with their pet animals like dogs or cats...) I know that LIFE without a friend would be meaningless, boring, no worth to live on. Therefore, never try to live alone as we would not be successful. We are all meant to live together as friends. Even those living in old folks, mentally retarded, inmates in social welfare homes, beggars, robbers, killers have friends. They wish to interact, talk, share or give in whatever capacity that they have. Bottom line is that we are not a loner.

I have asked a friend on this same question recently, his reply was, "He is shocked and could not comprehend or imagine one does not have a friend."

Even an enemy can become friends when ciscumstances is right especially when one is in need of the others and the other is willing to forgive and move on.

So, what if Friend ? A friend is one who is able to share, talk to, care and be there for you or dies for you ? Think above it...and value a friend.

Moon Cake Festival

Moon Cake Festival: A Mid-Autumn Festival (Chung Chiu), the third major festival of the Chinese calendar, is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month.

So, this year's celebration shall be on 25th September 2007, Tuesday.

There are several versions of why Chinese celebrates this occassion but for me, I always treasure this occasion as a family reunion or special gathering where as kids this day brings a lot of cheers, foods and enjoyments.

As for now, I am trying to bring back this environment and shared with my own kids so that they could appreciate the celebration of this happy occasion.

I should probably make a trip back to Sibu on this occasion to be with my parents to recollect this celebration, other than Chinese New Year.
