Biomed + Biotech Fellowship & Farewell Dinner

Joined the Biomed + Biotech Fellowship cum Farewell dinner. Was the DJ for the night. Played around with songs =) Enjoyed the food. Thanks for those put hard effort to make this happen. I guessed coming back to Monash to study again was worthwhile ^^

Below : Matthew (on left) wow you came back haha. Happy Birthday Allen (on right)

After that, some of the gang wanted to go Clubbing. I said nah then I won't come I want to remain a virgin for Clubbing. Then they changed to pub - Republic ---COME LA COME LA !! me say ok ok =) pub is alright, I go with family sometimes too. Jason managed to get discount Rm 100 for 2 jugs. So we ordered 6 jugs.

All the Best In everything you do!! Will be waiting for other camera owners to upload.

Bottom-line
- Run you Race, Challenge yourself to be the best you can be (Marathon is like that)
- Make goals or dreams that are bigger than yourself
- Family is a very important sole supporter and encouragement
- What you can't find today, you can find it sooner or later
- A tip. You don't have to know a lot people to know more people. You just need to know the person who knows a lot people =)

Give to the Poor

This weeks sermon was very touching in SIBKL. Too bad many of you couldn't make it.

The topic was about Giving to the Poor. I just love the topic on beatitudes. When I say giving to the poor it doesn't mean just poor in money but everything that you can be poor in. God actually didn't limit how much wealth we can have but instead he is concern more on how you obtain it and how you use it. In the time of Sodom and Gomorah, he favored the poor also. So if you are good in something don't go put people down la say you Bo Gia A on this that. If you joke is ok la but don't over do it. This is what I always wanted to say but didn't manage to get a nice time to say it. Instead you should give advice or see how you can help your friend get better at it. Isn't life about growing together and helping each other expand horizons haha.

Even Mother Theresa said this " Each of them is Jesus in disguise" and that is the reason why she gives to the poor because you'll never know that anyone that you have blessed will be somebody later on to be someone influential that would impact the World. We just have to keep blessing the people around us and be a good influence around us.

In the bible, the chosen land was actually in the center of two big cities and it was connected through 3 roads which are The Via Maris, Jericho Road and King's Highway. It is stated that the reason of the place was chosen is to be the center of influence. So who ever you are, you are an influence to the people around you. The minute you come into the person's life you have already made a change or difference, it's just in the matter of what, good or bad.

I was touched by a person called John Wesly (1703-1791). His quote is Earn All You Can, Give All You Can. His life was really exemplary, every salary or pay he got even though increase or what, he limits his spending to the same expenditure but anything else he gave away. He quoted this below:

"Do all the good you can.
By all the means you can.
In all the ways you can.
In all the places you can.
At all the times you can.
To all the people you can.
As long as ever you can."

Did you know the world Poverty is divided in this statistics 1.4 Billion are poor living less than US 1.25 a day? According to World Bank Report 2008.

About 1 Billion is illiterate and opportunity to earn a decent living is negligible. 790 million lives in extreme poverty facing daily problems of malnutrition, disease and contaminated water. About 30 million children below age of 4 dies every year dies from preventable disease.

According to the world GDP 2006, Richest 20% takes 75% of the World's income, while the Middle class 40% takes 20% of the World's income and World's poorest 40% take only 5% of the World's income.

The top 1% owns 40% of the World's wealth. Top 10% owns 85% of the World's wealth. Next 40% owns 14% of the World's health. Bottom 50% owns 1% of the World's wealth.

A testimony below

Bottom-line
- Use your God given abilities to influence and help others
- Manage God's owned assets that he has given to you
- To accomplish God's ordained purpose which all of us have, a purpose in life
- Be the voice to those who have none
- Stand up for those that can't
- Be hope to those in despair
- Be the giver to the poor and needy
- Be the person God intends you to be

Am in a rush to post this up so I guess I can't get more deeper =) got to go for a 10 km Run tomorrow early in the morning.

MJ & Thoughts of the Day

Last paper at 2.30. Prolly about 1-2 hours exam then i'm out. Give me a call then. MJ passed away. What a surprise he was only 50 (1958-2009).

Bye Says Michael See You Around

One of the best of Michael Jackson's songs that I like




=====================================================================
Today was a really one of the days you can call unlucky, clumsy or probably funny.

I went to Monash earlier to prepare for my paper. Guess what last minute I realized my paper has changed to 1.30 instead of 2.30. I didn't have a chance to eat my LUNCH!! The next thing is HOW COME I DON'T KNOW it is open book.

After the exam I realized my parking ticket missing. Searched high and low for it. Terrible this is the 2nd time I lose my parking ticket. First was Subang Square cause the ticket is just a piece of paper. This time I believe is cause of my wallet (bought from australia). It's a little torn and worn out already at the bottom so I got to be careful le. If like credit card or important things drop die le until I notice it is gone. So I paid the ticket lost fine and realised I have nothing left to pay for my food. Starve lol.

Nth much after that, went bowling with lukas. Yang wei and pip all not around. On the way back wow again was rushing to go to Church. So using NKVE all the tolls were full dunno what I was thinking so I had rm5 in my wallet so because I wasn't sure I had enough in my TnG card I went to top up lane. The lady at the counter told me then min RM10. I was like OMG. Lucky I got enough car coins to make it RM10 lol. The stupid thing is I had remaining Rm2.80 inside which I doubted so much. What a blunder lol.

Bottom-line
- First of all things like MJ passing away reminds us of how fragile our lives can be
- Life can be really short, we got to value everything around us
- Everyone has their moments and hardships, who will be there for us? there is always one person God
- Just by a simple thing you've done to help, has already made a difference, whether it is a song, a hymn, a smile, a joke, lending a ear to listen or etc be creative
- I believe everyone has had their emotional moments, crazy moments, clumsy moments, stupid moments and many more, I guess there is really a time for everything.
- Everything in the world today seems to be replacable, if you're old some young person replaces you in your work. If you're tv is spoiled you buy a new one. BUT you can't replace for example your life, the mistakes you make and you're love ones that are gone. So live your Life to the Fullest with moderation.

Happy Birthday Ariel

My exam timetable =D

As you see below, I really find it a good idea to at least minimum visit a local bookstore like MPH or BORDERS once every month.

This is some of the things I thought of sharing. As you see below it is a little about property. I learned a little something from friends who were selling property and as well helping people with personal loans. In the table below as you can see, you see the interest rate according to the loan amount. Financial crisis is always about credit terms, who doesn't want to own a property without a loan but it seems prices and inflation never really allow you to do it easily. It's like buying a Honda Civic with cash or property wow there is no worries after that. The only thing to make sure then is whether the property tenure is freehold or lease.

BLR = Base Lending Rate. It is the minimum interest rate calculated by financial institutions based on a formula which takes into account the institutions' cost funds and admin costs. On average most of the banks give 5.5%. You see a lot people always settle for bank loans. Did you know you could get a lower BLR through a outsource?

Just some photos of lands people would definitely buy but also dependent on cash in hand and price vs market value.

When people talk property they talk investment now of days. It is always better to put your funds into property than into a fixed deposit. Why? Simply inflation. Every year the value of our money drops while having a property, it has ample chance to increase in value vs location (asset).

Something interesting. It's about employable match models that any normal employer should look at. Traditional vs Modern method.

Below shows various investments in the world. Between Potential returns vs Risks.More later. Got to go out to get some furniture from Ikea and some house chores.

Just some photos. There are about a thousand photos lol. I guess I like this photos so I posted it up.
