Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness. One afternoon, the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea.
As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cute glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water Floated, of all things, a condom!
When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat.
The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist.
'Miss Beatrice', he said, 'I wonder if you would tell me about this?' pointing to the bowl.
'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet, and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu All winter'
If you don't share this to five GOOD friends right away; there will be five fewer people smiling in the world.

Safety Precautions
Global Positioning System (GPS)
A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that someone she knew had their car broken into while they were at a football game. Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the car included a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had been prominently mounted on the dashboard.
When the victims got home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen.
The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then used the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so they knew how much time they had to clean out the house. It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents.
Something to consider if you have a GPS - don't put your home address in it. Put a nearby address (like a store or gas station) so you can still find your way home if you need to, but no one else would know where you live if your GPS were stolen. Be sure to put away your GPS once you park your car. Better be safe than sorry later!!
20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago.'
When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.
Note: A pin cannot withdraw over the limit money from ATM. To get fund from the Bank’s teller, signature is needed. Amount over certain sum, a supervisor’s authorization is needed at the teller’s screen
Moral of the lesson: Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom and etc.
And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back. Also, when you're being text by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.

John's Secretary
Joe: Your secretary is very sexy.
John: Thanks, it's a robot from Japan. Her name is Sweety. If you squeeze its right breast it takes notes and if you squeeze the left it types. I'll lend it to you for a day and you can see for yourself.
Next day Joe called from hospital and shouted :
John you BASTARD, you didn't tell me Sweety's pussy is a pencil sharpener.

Shay Day!
'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?'
The audience was stilled by the query.
The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.' Then he told the following story:
Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.
I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'
Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.
In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.
At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?
Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.
However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.
Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first! Run to first!' Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.
Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!' Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball . the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.
All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'
Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!'
As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!' Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team
'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.
Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!
AND NOW A LITTLE FOOT NOTE TO THIS STORY:
We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people hesitate.
The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.
If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you're probably sorting out the people in your address book who aren't the 'appropriate' ones to receive this type of message. Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the 'natural order of things.' So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice:
Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?
A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them. May your day, be a Shay Day.

Gone Case!
Just recovered last two weeks!
How great is that?! GOSH!!!
I feel cold and warm at certain times. I even felt cold when having two thick blanket on top of me and the fan is NOT even SWITCH ON!
My throat is giving me this terrible pain as it is quite swollen according to the doctor.
And I keep having this headache and it make me sort of spinning but actually in reality NOT!
O God please help me!
My wedding is not far away...
I will be a dead meat by then and looking like a zombie if I keep falling sick again from this day forward till my wedding day!
God,
Please heal me, God.
Please keep me healthy and strong Lord.
I uphold myself to you, Abba Father.
Take this pain away O Lord.
Protect me from harms way and I cast away the spell of the devils' doing unto Your hand, Father.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen! Amen!

Woke up at 9:00 AM and went to take a bath.
Went to pick my mummy and sister up from the house to go to Rawang with Auntie Lily (Lawrence's Godmother), Auntie Penny (Lawrence's Mother) and Lawrence himself. Lawrence drove us there with the Toyota Innova by using the Guthrey Highway. Reach Rawang about noon time and it is raining like cats and dogs. Got myself wet and feeling cold as the wind blow - pray that I won't get sick.
Had our lunch at the Kedai Makanan Lan Je which is famous for it steam Tilapia fish by Sister Lan. It is located at the roadside along the main road heading to Rawang town. I bet most of the Astro AEC "Taste with Jason" show fans have heard about it already. Been there a couple of times with Auntie Lily who recommended me here but it is my first time bringing my family here. Waited for one and half hours for the food to be served to us as the place was packed with people plus today is public holiday as well. Sigh... The fish is fresh and still taste so good as before =).
Head to Caely Girl to purchase some lingerie. Manage to buy a few but need to wait for the new stock to arrive. The purpose we went to Rawang is for the Caely Girl lingerie as the service provided to us by Miss Ann Ng Chew Kim (016-332 2661) is good and better than anyone else even though we can purchase Caely Girl products in Klang, Shah Alam or Petaling Jaya. By the way, Caely Girl is known for it's lingerie to be in good quality and at affordable price (from as low as RM 20.00).
Got back Klang at 6:00 PM and took a nap till 8:00PM. Went to Lavender in Aeon Bukit Tinggi Klang to had dinner with Lawrence's parents. The food that day was not that bad but the taste wasn't appealing to me.
Proceed to Diamond & Platinum shop to look for my wedding band. Manage to bought the wedding band that Lawrence and I like (plus Lawrence's parents agree on it as well and it was the first one we saw last year) after so many hunting been done =P. The wedding rings range from the Unity Collection - Platinum and Gold Wedding Bands. The lady's ring have a small (0.2mm)diamond on it.
Lawrence and I kinda like the wedding band by Soo Kee but Law parents don't agree on it though. Soo Kee wedding band have a unique feature where the sapphire is hidden inside the ring and fine rounded inner band that have a smoother fit and so comfortable wear.
Send Lawrence's parents back around 10:50 PM and went to pick my sister up to kick her back to her college hostel all the way in Kuala Lumpur =). Reach back home at 12:55 PM and fell asleep right away.
It was definitely a tiring day. So goodnight my friends.

The Bride: Agnes Yong Mei Mei
The Witness:
1) Lee Kwai Lan (Penny) - Lawrence's Mother

Do pray for us and give us the blessings =P
That is not too much right?
----- + ----- + ----- + ----- + ----- + ----- + ----- + ----- + -----
At first we plan to have the registration held on the 21st February 2009 because
07th Feb - My Birthday
14th Feb - Valentine Day
21st Feb - Propose Date Of ROM
28th Feb - The Eve Of My Engagement Day
29th Feb - My Engagement Day
So there will be an event to celebrate every week for the whole month of February =) Isn't that nice =P
But we can't have it on the 21st or 28th because Lawrence's parents and grandparents had gone to China for visiting. Decided to have it on the 7th March 2009 but then again it was close for registration as it was fully book already =(
That is why the Registration Of Marriage is going to be on the 14-03-2009 instead of the above mentioned dates =)

Hello & Welcome Back!
You may have known now that I have not been blogging for more than half a year already since end of May 2008. And I am so so sorry about that as I have been very busy - working as well as studying - and being lazy too =P My blog is stagnant as if it is in a coma stage, right? =)
As you all may have notice; I have changed my blog template recently to give it a new look and a fresh start to my blog. I will resume to blogging again after such a long time. But don't expect much though because of time factor, Internet connection and I also have certain priorities in hand.
I encounter some problem when changing my blog template which causes me my links and blog posts to vanish into thin air =D I would really appreciate it a lot if you could just drop by at my chatterbox to give me your site address by saying a few words or even a hello so that I could link you back. Thanks for your help!
I hope that you all would like my blog new look (^_^)
That's all for now. Take care and God bless!
