牛年行大运

新的一年又来了,朋友们,你们准备好接受新一年的挑战吗?
在这全球经济不景气的牛年,每个人似乎都绑紧腰带,小心的花每一分钱, 担心随时会失去饭碗。 前几天Intel 又宣布了一个坏消息。虽然说两个工厂的关闭是几年前已经计划实行的,但现今的经济情况或多或少都会影响提早关闭的事实. 幸好这次JJ没有受到任何影响, 不过以后的事情,没有人会知道,不是吗?
撇开这些不说,还是希望大家可以开开心心的过个幸福牛年 :)

Obama Inauguration

Million of people were expected to gather at the Capitol, Washington DC to witness the new American President, Obama's inauguration. I felt fascinating in it. How can Obama, an American that yet to show his capability in ruling the country getting so much respect and trust by the people? Was it because of his leadership quality, his personality, his good public speaking skill, or the hope that he has gave to his people?
I really dont know. For me, it is really hard to trust that there is a leader in this world that his only goal is to bring goodness to his poeple without any selfish thought. Maybe that leader also want to be rich, famous, powerful and being respected like a god. That could be his main goal instead :). Well maybe i am being skeptical but time will proof it.

Anyway, the whole world is hoping that Obama can really bring CHANGE not only to his nation but to all the human being as well. 加油 Mr. Obama!

Good Article to share

I received a good article today from a friend. It was in Mandarin but i help to translate it to English as below:

There is only 3 problems/things in this world.
- The first one is your own problem, like whether or not to go to work, what you like to eat,
whether you want to help people, etc...which is fully under your control
- The second one is other people's business, like He is lazy, He dont like you etc...
which is under other people's control.
- The third thing is god's problems, like earthquake, Tornado, which is totally out of human being's control.

Mankinds unhappiness came from :
-Dont know or forget how to control your own problem properly
-Likes to interfere on other's business/problem
-Too much worry about God's problems.

So, to be happy it is easy, just :
- Mange your own problem well
- Do not be a busy body
- Do not worry about God's problems

Japan Trip Sharing - Part 2

This post suppose to be published yesterday but it suddenly blackout while i am typing this blog, so it only be able to publish today.
So after a nice skiing experience, we went down to Osaka. We spent 2 days over there. The first day we were visitng Osaka castle. Quite nice environment there. See the photo.

After that we went to Osaka Aquarium. There is lots of fishes and other sea creatures. Those that still clear in my mind are the cute penguin marching, strange monkey-look creature that has 2 sharp crawl, the big flat fish. There is a big ferris wheel near it as well.

Talking about night life, i think Namba is the most happening and biggest shopping street i had ever seen. We having dinner there and we tried the famous Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake). It taste good but it somehow wasnt listed in my favorite food list :)


Last but not least, we had also been to the universal studio in osaka. Since this is the first time i went to universal studio (many people were curious why i never been there during my trip in US :)), i found it very existing also.Taking photo with the famous character like sherk, taking photo of those beautiful and nicely decorated building, watching the spideman 4-D movie, the backdraft which show how the hollywood film the fire and bombing scene...pretty new to me :)
To be continue....

Japan Trip Sharing - Part1

Thought of start writing my Japan story 2 days ago but was so busy and also not feeling well. Today I am on MC and had been sleeping the whole day until now only feeling better.

Ok, come back to the Japan trip sharing, it was really a great and tiring trip. The first day when we reach Japan, we straight away go to Yuzawa, the "snow country" for skiing. I was so lucky that on the first day there, it has started to snow. I had never seen snowing before, it was really astonished. Finally i was able to see snow :)
We took the hotel shutter bus to go down to town area. It was a small town and we just like to experience walking under snow. It was freezing cold and we really cant stand it, hehe.



This is the photo i took from my hotel room (we stay at a ski resort called Naspa Otani, very expensive, 2 days cost both of us RM2k++) Imaging you wake up in the morning and look out to the window and you could see such a pictures view....Ichiban neh...
The food there is also excellent. The package include buffet breakfast and dinner. The breakfast is so so only, not much choice but the dinner was really good. Nice Tempura with big prawn, fresh and thick sashimi, Big scallop, so tender roasted beef and melt in the mouth pork....really really good..just that the dessert is not good but the ice-cream is of course nice :)

The sky start to get dark as soon as 5pm, so we got nothing to do at night so i wear their Yukata (night dress) to took some nice photo and then go to their ONSEN (hot spring)...eh...of course need to be naked lor before you can go to the pool :) The first time when i go, i dont take the bath there, feel so shy and just deep inside the pool. However the 2nd time i go, i just try taking the bath there. It is a big strange cause you need to sit on a "bangku" then facing the big mirror to bath and there is people on your left, right and at the back. It is normally 2 raw of benches for people to take bath there. Another new experience for us :)


My 2nd dream come through on the next day - we are ready for skiing. After rented the full gear, we headed to the skiing area which we need to take gondola to go up to the hill. When we reached there, we were very excited but worry too because the slope is pretty steep and we had never skied before. We spent about 3 hour learning to control the pole and how to stop. We fall down dunno how many times but this is normal :) Finally we decide to walk down the slope and learn how to ski at the more flat area. After another few hours hard learning, we finally know how to ski a bit properly and learn how to stop and fall properly too, hahaha. When we were skiing, we felt so hot and i have to take out my scarf somemore and JJ was sweating, cant believe it! However around 3pm, it start to snowing again and with the wind blowing, it become very cold again and we decided to go back and come again the next day. We were so tired and i got bruises many place on my legs but it was fun. We went to ski again on the next day and this time we use the shorter ski and it is more easy to ski. We felt so satisfied at the end of the 2nd days of our skiing lessons because we finally manage to ski properly...so many first time within the 3 days in Japan...seeing the snow, trying the ONSEN, and sking....
