All I wish for X'mas & New Year is.....

All I wish for X'mas this year & New Year 2010 is...........
Basically is $$$$$$.....more $$$$$ to spend & more leave.....

Why? More disposable income to sustain my lifestyle now (taking into consideration of inflation rate), going to own my own property means more expenses - every month paying off the mortgage loan, my 7 year old car needs to be changed soon - need $$$ to purchase new car, contribute back to my parents coz they are retired now.... What else? so many reasons.....

So I really hope my wish will come true & I have this feeling that my wish will be realised.

Thank you

To everyone out there ----- Merry X'mas & Happy New Year 2010!!!

Total blog post up to date

I've started writing this blog - The Orchid World of Ling http://www.wildorchidling.blogspot.com since 2007.

My records - I wrote total of 14 blogs in 2007, 40 blogs in 2008 & 47 blogs in 2009 ( there's improvement every year). This is my personla blog. My next year plan is to start another blog focusing on bakery & pastry ingredients, events, recipes etc. This means I need to spend more time to write & research information for this particular blog. Still searching for a good name for my blog. Any good suggestions......

Countdown 2010

Time just passed so fast.... Week 50 is almost over... We still have another 2 weeks to go before saying goodbye 2009 & hello 2010. The last few days is very crucial for me as I need to go all out to achieve sales target, to deliver new price list to all existing customers & make sure customers is happy before the year close so that we can start afresh in the new year. It's been a very tiring month...feel very exhausted & tired & now sick. Hope everything will be better by next week coz I'm so looking forward to New Year Countdown in Langkawi with my whole family. I hope by then, all work issues have been settled so that I can have a relaxing weekend. My new year wish is to have higher income (hopefully doubled up or tripled) as now I'm in the midst of purchasing my own property ( together with my sis) & I need lots of cash as this is a long term commitment. And with this, I'm in debt for the next 30 years until all my installments has been cleared. But I'm a proud owner of my own house. What's your new year plan?

Save Our Waterfalls Campaign - 25 October 2009

I took part in this campaign organised by Waterfalls Survivors in conjuction with International Day of Climate Action with 2200 activities happening simulataneously on 25 Oct 2009 all over the world.

Kanching Waterfalls







With Ms. Joe Yap, the founder of Waterfall Survivors

Waterfall Survivors is a social group founded on Facebook by Joe Yap & her committee team. This campaign took place in Sg. Kanching Waterfalls in Rawang, Selangor. On that day, we have more than 300 volunteers coming together to clean-up the waterfalls area. Some are college students from Sunway College & international students from Sunway International School, other volunteers are from all walks of life. We started the day with a simple opening ceremony by YB (forgotten the name) & later all the volunteers are split into 4 groups with a leader. We have 4 different stations. I'm at Station B. Together with my group members we quickly pick-up all the rubbish at the Station. There were so many rubbish there, there were even more rubbish in other Station. It seems like the higher the station, there were even more rubbish. We took a lunch break at 12.30p.m & continue with the clean-up after that. By 1.30p.m, we formed a human chain to carry down all the rubbish bag. We took a long time to finish this - almost 1 hr plus & the end result - 500bags of rubbish. I can say that most of the rubbish bags are damn so heavy - filled with empty glass bottles & other heavy stuff.

Me @ Work

But there's one thing that make me sad is that most of the general public are ignorant on what we are doing - they keep on throwing rubbish everywhere & some of them are not helping us. There were many people visiting the waterfalls on that day but they just don't be bothered. I think we need more education on caring & protecting our environment for the well-being of populations of the world.

350 - all the black colour bags behind us are full of rubbish...

Anyway, I feel so good able to help out / volunteer on this campaign on a Sunday. Thank you for all other volunteers to help out. It's great to see other people also care for the environment.

Me & my certs & goodie bag - too bad I don't get any lucky draw gift.

2010 Planning

It's already November 2009 - we'll be welcoming 2010 in less than 2 months now. So now it's time to do serious planning & setting goals/targets for 2010. Sometimes, we're too preoccupied in our daily life that we have forgotten what is our goals/target. We are easily distracted by those small little problems that is holding usback....Don't u think so? As i aged, I feel like I've changed...I can't tell you exactly what have changed but I feel that my priority change.....Health is now very important for me. What about you? Hmmm... back to serious planning now. Counting down to 2010...

2 time accident in November 2009

I've been involved in 2 accidents this November. Accident 1 (early November in my office compound) - I knocked into my own colleague's car & I got to pay the repair cost of the damage I've done to her car. Accident 2 (today at MRR2) - someone knocked my car from the back & some damage at the bonnet. This is more serious & the costs involved is more so we lodge a police report to claim insurance. But luckily, nobody was hurt - only damage to cars. Thank God....Need to pray more or maybe the fengshui not good enough. I've just change my sitting position in the office & so many incdents happened......Hmmm.....I gotta do something about it.

Air Asia Free Tickets Promotion

It's the time of the year for Air Aisa Free Tickets promotion again.......many people has been waiting for this promotion to plan their travel next year. Well, It's advance sale for travel from May 2010 to end of 2010. In my mind, I already planning for Bali in Jul/Aug 2010. Hopefully I can get free or cheap tickets. My next year travel plan is Conquering Mt. Kinabalu from 29 April 2010 - 3 May 2010 - CONFIRMED; Bali - Jul/Aug 2010 - PLANNING & Shanghai - Oct/Nov 2010 - PLANNING. Hopefully all my plan will be realised....

Expedition 2010 - Conquering Mt. Kinabalu

Everything has been finalised, we are going to conquer Mt. Kinabalu next year.....the date from 29 April 2009 - 3 May 2010. Flight has been booked, have paid 40% deposit for the package & now training starts. Our first group training was to Broga Hill, 8 of my team members went together. This is my 2nd attempt climbing Broga Hill. I still missed the sunrise coz by the time we almost reached the 1st peak, the sun already rise. The sun rise earlier now....Sigh!

I feel the climb is tougher for me this time, probably because my stamina not up to the par. But overall, it's a fun day outing with lots of photo taking sessions, we are all camwhores. ha ha. My first trip there also with lots of photos few months back with a different group of friends.

Some of the photos

Good nite! I have many other stuffs that I wana blog but .....

The beaches

Oh....how i miss beaches.....sandy white beaches. It's been quite awhile since I went to any beaches. Yesterday I went to Port Dickson to visit my customers & as I drove along the coastal road I saw a long stretch of beaches.....So nice, suddenly I feel like going to beaches again... Good sunny weather & all the coconut trees. I need a holiday & it must be to beaches. Well now I need to travel to Seremban, PD & Melaka to service my customers - some changes in my portfolio which I think it's good coz now i can travel. Even though it's for business but at least I got to explore these places which I hardly will explore on my own. Thank you for the opportunity & I hope the sales will increase soon.

Now I need to plan for my beach holidays....

My first Famine 30 hours - 22 - 23 August 2009

This post is way too late, supposed to be up by August but been too busy & no mood to write about it till now…

Date: 22 - 23 August 2009

Time: 1200hrs onwards on 22 Aug 2009 until 1800hrs on 23 Aug 2009

Venue: Persatuan Ajaran Agama Chi Hui Tang & Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil

Event: Famine 30 hours Camp 2009

This is the 10th year World Vision organized the Famine 30 Hours camp in Malaysia & this is my first year participating in the Famine Camp. Probably because I always think of joining this camp, I finally get to know that Jessica is organizing one for her Vanness Wu Fan Club members this year. She invited me to participate in the camp even though I’m not a member of the Vanness Wu Fan Club. I asked another friend to join this camp together. She also has been thinking to join the camp for some time. Both of us registered & we raised funds for the partner organizations that World Vision worked together.

I drove to our camp centre after work on 22 August 2009. Though registration starts from 12p.m, I only manage to reached the centre about 2.45p.m but I start fasting from 12p.m onwards. Due to the wide outbreak of H1N1 virus, we take extra precaution to measure our body temperature & always use the antiseptic lotion to make sure that we are free from virus. We did clean-up the place so that we can sleep at night After the cleaning & washing, we proceed to have our games section – it’s called Slumstar. It reminded me of the movie Slumdog Millionaire. Well by playing this game, I understand how people struggle to make ends meet in their life. Not everyone is blessed with good health & body – this makes them difficult to make ends meet & there were unscrupulous people out there who bully this unfortunate group f people. It’s tough to produce those little stars with newspaper coz the material is very thin.
Our day & night is filled with activities so that our craving for food is diverted. At night we watched a movie called Blood Diamond. It was a movie where the Western people exploited the African people to get the diamonds there. I don’t really get the message of this movie & I don’t really like to watch this type of movie genre – not my cup of tea. By the time this movie ended, I have zzzzzz…..

The next morning, we woke up early, clean up the place & took a group photo together before we packed off to Stadium Bukit Jalil. The last 6 hours countdown was done in a big group with other DIY camps around Malaysia. The get-together of all the DIY camps amounted to almost 8000+ people all over Malaysia, some were from Klang, Ipoh, Penang, Johor, Pahang etc. It’s so heartwarming to see so many people from all over Malaysia gather for a good cause & of course some fun. We were being entertained by our local artistes such as Michael Wong, Daniel Lee, Francesca Peter, some others local singers. Of course the highlight is the Final Countdown with the special guests, A Mei all the way from Taiwan….She brings the house down. OMG….you should see the crowd dancing & the energy is so high that it doesn’t seem that we’re on fasting for 30 hours….

All in, it was a great weekend with all the great people who cares for other people & give all the time. I already thinking of next year Famine 30hrs if there’s 1.

T-Music Festival Concert

Date: 12 September 2009

Time: 7p.m onwards until approximately 1.30a.m

Venue: Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil

Organiser: Galaxy Group

Media partner: MY FM

Singers: From Hong Kong (Joey Yung, Soler, Justin, Kay Tse, Khalil Fong); from Taiwan (Lee Sheng Jie, David Tao, Power Station); from China (Liu Li Yang, Hoi Ming Wai); from Thailand (Chin, James); from Singapore (Chen Wei Lian) & last from Malaysia ( Manhand, Rickman, Rickman, Andrew Tan, Lin Jian Hui, Kay Kwok& Z-Chen)



Last nite went to watch this concert at Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil with my sis. It was a 5 hour music marathon featuring about 20 singers from HK, Taiwan, China, Thailand, Singapore & Malaysia. Missing out singers from Korea & Japan though. Concert started sharp at 7p.m but ended up only at 1.30a.m coz halfway through the main cable which supported all the electricity caught fire, i guess it's due to short-circuit. I can saw it clearly from where I seated however many people who are seating at the far right did not know what's happening. This happened during Chin's performance which is about halfway through the concert. First, there were a loud explosion, then the sound system off & the lights also off. Then we saw fire coming up at the left side of the stage just beside the tent set-up by Tiger( main sponsor). I don't know why, nobody panic & ran out of the stadium, we just remain seated at our seat even though i see the fire getting bigger. Thank God the organiser managed to put-off the fire on time before it spread further. We were in total darkness for about 30 minutes before they managed to change the cable & restore the power & electricity. Luckily this stadium is big enough, can't imagine if this happens in Stadium Putra, the fire will spread faster & I believe the circumstances will be even more damaging. Anyway, everything back in order & we continue to enjoy the music all nite long.

This concert is held in conjunction of Galaxy Group 15 years anniversary & this is the first time they brought in so many artistes to perform & for more than 5 hours long. Many of them are great live singers....but of all of them I personally love the vocals of POWER STATION - they have the best & greatest vocals range when they sang live. POWERFUL & i think they are the highlight of the concert coz they sang the most songs & they are being arranged to perform about 9 plus where everyone started to get excited. Good timing for them. It was my first time watching Justin, Kay Tse, Soler, Z-Chen, Manhand, Power Station, Liu Li Yang, Hoi Ming Wai, James, David Tao, ,Chen Wei Lian singing live on stage. It was a real value for $$$ coz i got to watch so many singers in a night. Besides POWER STATION, I also love Z-Chen, David Tao, Kay Tse, Manhand, Lee Sheng Jie & Soler performances. I think these few are the better ones. I missed out Joey Yung coz she's the last to perform & we have left after her 1st song but I admired her showmanship coz she waited until so late & people just started leaving when she came onstage. I think I've changed now, I enjoyed listening to the songs of each singers & this is not limited to a few only. I'm feeling their music in my body, my mind & my heart......

Thank you to Galaxy for organising this concert & selling the tickets at a very good price. I bought the cheapest ticket - only RM68 nett & i got to see 20 singers & most of them are big shots ( i mean popular & great singers)

Happy 090909.....

Today is a beautiful day coz it's 090909.....nice numbers & easy to remember - in Chinese means longevity. Many couples especially Chinese choose to register today coz of the unique numbers even though in Lunar calendar it falls in the 7th month (also known as Hungry Ghost month). Usually Chinese don't held weddings or registration during the month. I've a friend who is registering today... CONGRATS KIAN & KAY NY.

I remember that i said i wanna get married on 090909 but it's not gonna happen...so waiting for 101010 (another beautiful date). Hopefully it'll happened. Ha ha ha! To everyone Happy 090909.....Not feeling well now...sneezing all the way arrrggghhhh....but still wanna to share the happiness with everyone out there.

MY FM 11th Anniversary Celebration - Genting Highlands

Date: 15 August 2009

Time: 2000hrs onwards until almost midnight

Venue: Arena of Stars Genting Highlands

Event: MY FM 11th Anniversary Party 2009

Who’s there? All MY FM DJs & their part time DJs together with some featured guests – Chin, Tank, Victor Wong, Nicholas Cheung, Hins Cheung, Kay, Suki, Guo Jing, Andrew Chan etc…..(Can’t remember all the names)


Otw up by myself - in the cable car

On Saturday, after work I make my journey up to the hill…. It’s been awhile since I went up the hill. This time I travel alone coz my sis have went up earlier in the morning to collect the free tickets. I took the cable car coz don’t feel like driving uphill with my 7-year old car. Oh yeah, my sis manage to get free tickets for this anniversary celebration & I just tag her along. Well it’s just an excuse to make a trip up the hill. I reached there about 4p.m. & meet up with my sis. My sis was there since morning to collect the tix so she spent her time in casino to kill time & managed to get her Genting card upgraded & got a free room but it cannot be redeemed on the same day. We went for dinner first & did some window shop before we proceed to Arena of Stars. Genting is still full of people despite the H1N1 virus spreading like nobody business. But I can see many people have been wearing face/surgical masks.

Victor Wong - All For Love Meet The Fans Session

We went in about 7.00p.m & the show started about 8.00p.m. This year the DJs transformed themselves into the character of Journey to the West (hope I am right) & they are looking for something which is lacking in humans nowadays. Of course with the storyline, the singers came out & sing but they blend it well. I think the highlight is when they finally found out what is lacking in human nowadays – CARE. We do not care much about other people & with this they shown us a clip of a visit to Taman Megah Handicapped Home. I am crying when I watch the clip, so touched & emotional. MY FM donated RM10K for the home & urged the rest of the audience to donate in cash or kinds to support them. I’ve went there before for my Community Service program when I joined a training back in year 2006 but haven’t been back about 2 years. I remember the first time I was there, there was an Indian girl who always want me to sing for her. When I was singing to her, I feel my tears almost burst out. By doing this simple little things like singing, I can make her so happy, I feel so touched. And I feel myself so lucky & blessed coz I was born normal & I have a caring family. The more charity or CS we do, the more blessed we feel. So we gotta do more, care for other people, the unfortunate ones, I believe our life will be more fulfilled.

The show ended with the duet of Hins Cheung & Nicholas Teoh of their own first single. It was almost 12.00a.m when the show ended & we couldn’t book a room earlier. All room fully booked. No cable car at this hour but I was damn too tired. Initially thought of spending the entire night at casino, karaoke & movie just to kill time……but my sis said looked so tired so we try our luck to get a cab back. Coincidentally there was an airport taxi just drop-off his passengers so we asked how much the charges to get back to PJ. The driver at first wanted to charged more than RM100 but we asked to reduce to RM80. And voila, we can go back to our home sweet home. The charge is reasonable coz it’s way past midnite already.

Another day gone!!!

House Break-in

Today, my house was break-in... after so many years staying here, this is the first time i encounter this but thank God that my room was not being targeted. All room was break-in except my room. Nowadays so many crimes happened in the broad daylight, I'm wondering how many cases happened each day & what are the actions our police is taking to overcome this rising crime. Everyday we heard of snatch theft, break-ins, robery, murder, rape etc..I don't feel safe anymore. Please take precaution & take good care of yourself.

FHM 2009 completed with success

After 4 days of extra hardwork promoting our products, the FHM 2009 finally closed at 5.00p.m on 14 August 2009. I've a great experience promoting Felchlin couvertures & fillings to the visitors. Seems like not many people really know about Felchlin. And I feel like I'm more into educating people about couvertures..... surprised that many people have not seen a cocoa plant, cocoa pods & cocoa beans before. Really have fun being the educator....Our booth is 1 of the most popular in the hall coz we have most of the ingredients for the baking & confectionery industry. Our products ranging from cake mixes, bread mixes, gelato, machinery, sugar cane machine, flavourings, couvertures, chocolate decoration items, purees & other non food items realated to the industry. It's tiring but it's a great experience for me & my colleagues. This is the first time I'm involved in exhibition related to food & it's much more complicated compared to other exhibitions. Now we have to follow-up on all the enquiries ...... Some of the photos
