Over population is one of the major causes that lead to irregular weather, global warming and changes in the climate issues. A large number of forests are being destroyed for the purpose of building new housing projects and business area. Only a small part of the countries are actually being protected as forest protection area.

I am very sure that every one of us aware about this and perhaps some may say that it indicates the end of the world. To me, whether it is end of the world or not, if all of us could do something for our environment, if we can’t save our world, at least we could extend the life of this earth.

This is one of the coffee shops that decorate their shops by using recycle materials. They use empty liquor bottle and the caps to makes it so attractive and colorful at the shop's counter corner.


Some shops paste the old CD on the ceiling and it looks shinning from the reflection of the light when the bulbs turn on.


Nowadays you can see some shopping complex set up a recycle counter at the corner of their parking place. It's not only to collect the recycle items such as boxes, old newspaper, plastics, batteries and other recycle stuff, they also earn quite a lucrative income when they resell it to the finishing recycle factory.




There are so many ways that we can do in order to save our earth at the same time we do not need to spend money to buy things if you want to decorate your house or your shop's counter. Just make use of the recycle stuff with a little bit of your creative idea, you can design something that you like. If you are a business minded person, perhaps it's an opportunity for you to start your own business.

You might think that this photo was taken during a motor car show. In fact, this shinny car was shown in a shopping complex nearby my office. There were few shoppers hanging around to take photo with this car. This maybe an antique car show or exhibition in one of the largest shopping complex in Malaysia. I thought it was a luxury car show when I saw this car from far.


No, I was wrong! It was a perfume company's promotion counter. They used this car as a tool to attract their customer. Most of the perfume marketers in Midvelley hire young and beautiful ladies to promote their product. But the crowd doesn't seem as good as this antique car. That is because human are curious, they like to see new things that they hardly see in their daily life.

This was one of the souvenir shops in Midvalley that I found with creative front windows design. The windows was decorated with few sweet teddy bear, shinning and Christmas lighting.

Many of us do not alert of expire date when they do their shopping especially when they purchase food items. Some of them may only realize it until they tasted the food and found that it is not as pleasant as the one that they tried before. However, I'm very particular about this because I have already experienced it many times. Thus, I am very careful and always check the expire date of every single item and this already become my shopping habit before I purchase something.

Recently, my colleague offered me a dozen of Malta Quench for free, which is my favorite drink. This product actually has been distributed to all my colleagues before I came in to the office. It was the remaining product that did not finish during the product test survey and they don't want to waste it, so they decided to give it as a free drink to everybody. I found few empty can in the dustbin which some of them already drank a few cans.

Although this Malta Quench was given free, I will still check the expire date as what I usually do and when some one pass on things like foods to me.
You know what?
I found the bottom of the can printed BEST BEFORE 2008-10. The date for best consume is already "Expired". I can't image if I have already drank it I could have vomited it out. However, everyone seems like still very healthy the next day morning when they back to the office. Perhaps, they use to print few months early before the actual expire date. But we still need to take precaution on it.

Before I end this message, I would like to add on something. Many shoppers do not aware the expire date printed on the bottle of mineral water. They thought that there is no expire date on mineral water.
Just to remind all of you, every mineral water has its' expire date. I'm very particular about the expire date of mineral water because I use to buy mineral water from petrol station.

The reason why I buy mineral water is because I don't cook or boil water at home, as I feel not safe to drink the dirty water supply in my house.

Contribution is merely an effort done to produce or given as an offer in order to accomplish a certain goal without hoping for any return. Why I chose this topic today is because I felt that it’s vital for all of us to know the importance of contribution. In fact, it’s too simple to explain the word “contribution”, but it’s not easy to implement it.

We must appreciate that there are actually many people in this world are contributing their hard work to this world without any recognition. You don’t realize them; you don’t understand their job and don’t appreciate their effort until you discover what they do. I always use this example; you can simply finish up a slice of cake or a bowl of rice in 10-20 minutes times, but you don't realize that there were a lots of hidden hard work behind. It probably took few hours or days to prepare or to process the food that you have just swallowed. It involved so many people’s hard work before you can taste the food. And you don’t see their effort until you involve yourself in their position.

Therefore, since our society is contributing most of our needs for our daily activities, it’s imperative that we must reciprocate something back to our society. If every one of us have this in mind and build this as a habit, we will certainly live in a peaceful world. These habits can begin from the small donation to the charity or non-profit organization. Or you may also involve yourself in the social committees and work as a volunteer whenever they need your help.

Bill Gates, the Ex-Microsoft chairman and also the richest man in the world has set himself as an example. He has more money than anyone, but he is also giving away more money than anyone in this world. He left his own company and decided to involve himself in social community work. That is because he wants to help those unfortunate people especially those countries suffering from all kind of diseases to have a better life. He has contributed almost 90% of his property to the poverty countries that suffering from all kind of illnesses and to solve the world’s health problem.

Of course most of us can’t donate that much of money like Bill Gates. However, I’m sure the small contribution pools from millions of people in the world would definitely more than what Bill Gates has done. I’m not saying we must do better than Gates, but at least we have done something. And we must set him as an example.

My blog might look a little not presentable due to the progress of new template is under construction. The blog layout will be fixed as soon as possible

Time goes very fast, it never rest. My last trip to oversea country was 9 years ago. That was a fruitful trip to me because I strike a RM2000 lottery ticket that year in Singapore. In fact, I don’t really have time to go for a trip, not even traveling in my own country.

My previous plan to Vietnam with my parents and sister was cancelled due to my heavy job schedule. That was this year Chinese New Year. I can’t rest because my nature of work gives me zero basic salary. If I stop my bank’s deposit will stop. I think it’s time for me to search for more passive income.

If you had ever visited my website http://www.linklink2u.com, you should see many traveling packages over there. The most attractive package there is 4 days 3nights free accommodation in Bali. That will be my next aim with my girl friend.

Stay 6 star Karma Resorts 4 days 3 nights with attach personal swimming pool at a cost of paying extra RM499 on top of the accommodation voucher cost RM199. I only need to spend RM698 for 2 Adults accommodation fees. That is fantastic price! Although I still need to pay the air tickets, it still worth for this trip. Guess how much does it cost if you were to stay in Karma 6 star resort without the voucher? The answer is, you need to pay USD500 PER NIGHT! It cost me almost RM5000 to stay 3 nights in Karma 6 star Resorts.

Well, hopefully no more changes for this plan to Bali, and perhaps I can strike RM2000 lottery tickets again or more!

As usual, today is 1st day work after Hari Raya holiday. I started to work from 9am to 11pm at night. Almost 14 hours work, such an unbelievable long working hours. I got 5 focus group, 2 mystery checking, 1 street intercept and my part-time business job. Can you imagine, I can't rest for the next two weeks for sure.

I need at least 50 respondents to participate in the 5 focus group discussion. It's not easy because the closing date for recruitment is only 1 week time. For those malaysian respondent if you view my blog, please also visit my URL http://www.linklink2u.com click upcoming survey to check if you are one of the respondents that I am searching around. Thank you.

I use to play badminton with my friends at stadium Kg. Attap. We play every Saturday and never miss. Because of my aggressive in playing sports, my weight bearing joints like knees, hips and joints of the hands always feel pain when I perform too much.

For those who have same problem like me, let me introduce you Bio-Life Glucosamine. I'm not selling this product don't misunderstood. You can buy this product in many pharmacies like Watson or Guardian. Try 6 weeks, each day 2 tablets with meals, all causes of pain gone now. I can play badminton like what I did previously even though if I play aggressively. Try and feel it.

I was very frustrated this evening on my way back home due to my heavy workload today.

However, I saw my cat sitting down under this umbrella when I reach home, she cheers me up. So I decided to take this photo down.

This cat actually came to our house without any permission. But she is so beautiful and cute, I gave her a name "Mao Mi" and now she is staying here for more than 1 year.

I gone through a stage of self-doubt when I first started my career as a market research interviewer. I asked myself what is this business doing? and what sort of career advancement I can fulfill with the company. Even people surrounding me are very curious why I quit my career in bank and what do I see in this career path, and most questions raised were can I in fact survive without basic salary?

As time goes by, I realize that research company in fact assist their client, ie. renowned global organizations in their product development and marketing strategy. The consumers are given opportunities to express their view on the products, thus helping the organization to better position their existing product, making them more attractive, better quality and more competitive in the eyes of consumers. I assured myself this is a right career path that I have chosen, and I have proven that I have gotten good rewards for the hard work that I devoted. I truly see the rewards as the sky is the limit¡¨ as you can achieve the payment that you wish to command by going an extra miles.

Some people perceive it as a tough job, people who cannot take the challenge in this industry quit after months or even days of work. Yet, there are many people who have worked for 5-10 years, who still enjoy the challenge of the job.

However, in many department staff (not involve in field work, field work duties include searching participants or respondents in order to participate in a research study) they do not clear about the core duties of an interviewer. What in their mind is our strength on timely job delivery. We were able to achieve major project milestone in a short period of time, as contrast to some who has experienced but couldn't do well like what we did. Some even give us compliment, for instance, we are recognized as "magician" staff, where they find some difficulty in delivering similar jobs.

In fact, I think the word "magician¨ is just an excessive compliment laid to us, as we are just dedicated interviewers who carry our daily duty by striving our best effort to attain the project's objective. Just like an engineer they can build so many tall buildings and a doctor can save a people¡'s life from illnesses. They are not "magician" they have done many practical experiments and studies before that. Just like them, we all know the methods of doing survey and how to get the respondent. And all methods are from our own practical studies when we were doing our field work outdoor.

Many years ago people use method of astrology to determine a person's characteristics, their happiness in their life time, even able to predict their future. They used animals or any kind of symbols as the main factor for their calculation.

Do you know actually different kind of tree, represents different human character. I never heard about this until I saw an article. For those who born from Mar 01- Mar 10 or Sept 03 to Sept 12 (My birth date is Mar 10), your birthday tree is Weeping Willow.

Let's see whether it's true and you look alike my characteristic. Weeping Willow also known as the Melancholy. People fall from this tree likes to be stress free, loves family life, full of hopes and dreams, attractive, very empathetic, loves anything beautiful, musically inclined, loves to travel to exotic places, restless, capricious, honest, can be influenced but is not easy to live with when pressured, sometimes demanding, good intuition, suffers in love until they find that one loyal, steadfast partner; loves to make others laugh.

Well, to me 99% true, except "not easy to live with when pressured". What do you think? people who fall in this tree "Weeping Willow"?.

Have you ever seen this kind of
insect? Is it an insect or spider. This photo was taken in Fraser Hill Malaysia. I took this photo down because I was curious and never seen it before. You may visit my URL http://www.linklink2u.com for more photo gallery.
