Leg Shaking

While having breakfast this morning, I have noticed that human like to shake their legs...at least 6 people were shaking either one of their legs whilst having breakfast (you can call it a hobby...for which I always like to observe human character, nature or behaviour when I am relaxing).

I also noticed I also do the same act which realising it. Why do we do it ?

Don't believe...please observe the next time when you are at coffee shop.

Are our legs communicating to each others on that basis ? Definitely not !

I have surfed the net for answers...and found that it could be probably just due to sleep disorder or neurological disorder ?

Not enough sleep, difficult to sleep or waking up too early or having unrefreshing sleep could lead to restless legs.

As for old man talks...it may just show that we are too comfortable and relax...nothing to do with sleep or neuron..."we may be "Chia ba beh pau" ! Others said don't shake your legs..you may be shaking off a lot of lucks.

Well, if you are shaking too much, please see your medical doctor to find out the real reason.

Stay healthy !

Bringing Songs of Christmas Joy To All

Joy to the world, our Lord has come...

Tonight is the first night of my Legion of Mary's Christmas Carol and we have only 3 houses to visit. All in all, this year, we shall have 12 houses to go inclusive of Salvation Army (Children Home) and Chesire Home spread into 4 days this week.

The homes that we visited are homes to all our less fortunate brothers/sisters (the sick, elderly, handicapped, ophans) where we have also weekly assignment visitation to their homes.

We have about 20 of us in white and black, going in convoy of cars...back up by 3 guitarists and 1 drummer.

We really sing our full heart of happiness..what a great evening of joy, sharing with all..

Trip Back to Cinema

It has been more than 4 years since my last movie in a cineplex and tonight, after our tea meetup at around 9pm, instead going for usual beer or bones rejuvenation, Chuan Yew treated Heroes and myself to watch "I am A Legend @ Will Smith" at 10.45pm.

Yeap, I have just arrived home some 15 minutes ago..the movie is great (especially on the part of workout by Will Smith)but the feeling going back to yesteryear's passing of time activity is greater...a fabulous reexperience as nowsaday, with DVD/VCD, I would just watch movie at home.

Going for movie at Cinema is a great relaxation for me especially during 90ies...when I was in U, almost every weekend, I will watch at least a movie...the price is only RM6.00 for having it in Cineplex and if in conventional cinema, it would only cost RM3.00 (the Sun Cinema in Kajang). Sometime, we take bus to KL just to watch on bigger screen. Of course at that time, no VCD (only VCR) and I think VCD only became popular in 1995 onwards and then in 2000...DVDs. I like to watch the Sat night show at 10.45pm as normally it is the first screening of new movie (also because, the timing is more suitable...after squash for 2 hours (4pm-6pm), dinner at 7.30pm, window shopping and will normally arrive home around 1.30a.m after late night supper)

Back in school time, I recalled the sweet memories going for movie at cinema with the 3A8 gang. The ticket price was RM2.00 then. I remembered the infamous cinemas in Sibu;

1. The Kings

2. Palace

3. Cathay

4. Rex

5. King Hua

6. Lido (burnt down...still recalled watching Ti Lung, Chen Kuan Thai or Lo Lei the kungfu movie in the 80ies)

7. Zenith

There was one event back in Form Five, we were watching "Fight Back to School by Stephen Chow", there was a commotion behind us...between an Ahmu and a Taiko...as the Taiko had been shaking his leg over the chair sat by the Ahmu...at the end, AhMu wasasked to leave before fighting occurs...well, that incident costed our concentration for about 5 minutes but I remembered till today.

I have not brought my kids to watch any movie as yet but hopefully soon just like my parents who used to bring us to watch Liew Wen Chen, Ah B, Chi Han, Chin Sian Ling, Ling Fong Chiau etc...Taiwan actors..I remembered as my parents only bought 2 tickets, my brothers and sister would normally sit on the stairs of the cinema (what a sweet memories).

Hope it will be soon...before the school start in January 2008. Cheers !

Computer Geek ?

My first encounter with computer was when I was in Form 4 some 21 years back...at that time, I registered myself as a computer club member. The computer screen is "green" in colour and I cannot remember what sort of programme (DOS?) they are using then...though training was given but I never hooked up to it...so after a week, I dissappear from the aircon room.

Then...when Windows 386/Microsoft Office came into the scene few years, the computer programme becoming more interesting. In late 1993, I bought my first desktop computer costing me about RM3,600.00 (RM2k was given by my brother from his scholarship). A chaplang brand...mostly have Taiwan parts but it is a 386 Edition I. That time, it is a computer fever among the undergraduates. The computer retailer was making tonnes of money...imagine 5,000 students x RM500.00 profit = RM2,500,000.00 profitability shared among the retailers around BBB/Kajang.

This 386 helps me a lot and also my girlfriends (when you have PC, you are adored by many girls even boys as good as you have motobike or car in the campus..hehehe). In fact, it served me for full 3 years...then passed on to my girl friend for another 2 years...by then we sold to our junior for RM800.00.

When I started work, I have no problem in using the PC especially the Microsoft office programme except Power Point where I learnt from my colleagues at work.

My 2nd computer, a 486 2nd Edition came in 1998 where I bought at the same time from the same shop with Heroes costing RM2,800.00. This one is still going strong till today.

The 3rd one came in 2003, when I registered for my MBA course. They packaged it with the course fees (I guess it costs RM3,500.00). It is a Acer laptop, Pentium Celeron 2.00Ghz (see below)...and I am still using it .

Looking back at the pattern of owning computers beside know-how on computer programme...I do not consider myself as a computer geek but just as a casual user.

Last week, I have visited the IT fair in KL...I can notice that a lot of youngters (below age 18) are having laptops and further many are already expert in computer programme beside updating their hardware at every opportunity.

I was advised by my senior many years ago, one computer year is equivalent to 3 months of our human life. So, my 2nd computer is aged 36 years old and my laptop is sweet 16. The phase today may be even faster..

Computer will definitely continue to progress in this information era so must we...even my boss at the age of 60 years old (Asian standard) have to learn how to use emails (my dad is excluded...he is already 70+)...

I would expect my kids will be a computer geek as I planned to give them my PC for them to play around (got reason for my wife to upgrade myself mah...:)) as to give them an early start to computer world.

A Good Wife & Mother

I have recently received a very meaningful email from a friend and this email gave a very desirable admiration for great sacrifice, love and care from "wife and mother" . I write in this blog to admit that indeed it is real from my own experiences. Yes, a husband and father can do the same but generally wife and mother gave more love, attention and support to the family.

I would like to share this good piece of sharing for your reflection;

To all mothers, you are an inspiration....

Mom and Dad were watching TV whenMom said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed."She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches, rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.

She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button.She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer.She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.

She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom.She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair.

She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store.She put both near her purse.

Mom then washed her face, put on her Night solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails.

Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed.""I'm on my way," she said.She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on.

She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and TV's, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.

In her own room, she set the alarm, laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack.She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals.

About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed." And he did...without another thought.

Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer...?

'CAUSE WE ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL. (and we can't die sooner, we still have things to do!!!!)

School mate's Marriage

It has been a while for me since the last one way back...probably 5 years back (frankly I could not recall the actual date/year) attended a classmate's marriage. Today, I received a call from an old classmate (nickname: Forever Living or Shi Bu Liao) informing me that he is going to get married on this coming Wednesday and hoping that I could attend his marriage ceremony. My mind actually went blank for while as I thought it is a joke...but it is real.

I am so happy for him, another one finally settled down. However, I could not confirm on my participation on his wedding event as it falls on Wednesday, a working day for me. Hopefully, I can sort it out soon and able to attend.

In fact, i am anxiously waiting for my other golden friend to settle down...but still, no sound as yet though fresh leads have been given. Hopefully it will very soon...as I have been keeping the angpow for too long...

Last but not least, i am wondering on how many are still single in my class or my form...SHS8890 Alumni.
