FOUR TENNIS ICONS IN KL THIS NOVEMBER

2008-07-26T08:44:00.000-07:00

KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 (Bernama) -- World number one Roger Federer and two tennis legends, Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe, will be in Kuala Lumpur for the Showdown of Champions 2008, to be be held at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil on Nov 18.

The trio will be joined by a fourth player who will either be the newly crowned Wimbledon champion and world number two, Rafael Nadal, or American ace James Blake to complete the cast of this star-studded show.

"The decision as to who will play in Malaysia will hinge on the outcome of the Davis Cup semi-final clash between Spain and the United States (US) in Madrid on Sept 21," said Nick Freyer, senior vice-president and head of tennis of IMG Asia, the event organisers, at a news conference, here today.

He said if Spain were to lose, Nadal will travel to Kuala Lumpur but if the US were to lose the clash, Blake, who is currently world number 8, will make the trip here.

The launching of the showdown was performed by the wife of the Deputy Prime Minister, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, who is patron of the tournament, and Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

"We will watch the lively battles between the 80's stars, Borg and McEnroe followed by Federer and the fourth player. Then the final set will be Federer and Borg against McEnroe and the other star," Freyer said.

Meanwhile, Rosmah said two local faundations, the Kiwanis Down Syndrome Foundation National Centre and Yayasan Harapan Kanak-Kanak Malaysia would receive contributions from the show.

"I hope the showdown will attract global coverage for Malaysia and will be watched by millions around the world," she said.

Tickets for the showdown, priced between RM108 and RM498, are on sale at all Ticket Axcess outlets from yesterday or call +60377115000 for enquiries.

Balance Lifestyle

2007-10-22T01:05:00.000-07:00

long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered. Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible. Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself." The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed. Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition . Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!
Watch your thoughts ; they become words. Watch your words ; they become actions. Watch your actions ; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character . Watch your character; it becomes your destiny .

Main event is a 10km Run inside the compounds of Taman Pertanian Malaysia. Runners will be divided into 4 categories, male and female participants above 21 years old and aged 21 and below.
The objectives of the event:-
Sky Adventure Club(SAC) of Taylor's Business School(TBS), one of the most active clubs in TBS have often been associated with nature, outdoors and physical based events like our successful 400km cross country Cycling Pledge and the Adventurace series (an annual event taking the form of Fear Factor and Amazing Race). We also regularly participate in the Earth Day Awareness program as well as sending members annually to the Sea Turtle Research and Conservation Unit (SEATRU) program. Apart from that, we also regularly have hiking, camping, caving, rock climbing, scuba diving, and various other leisure trips.

SAC has decided to take a step further through combining our nature loving and physical challenging activities to organise a charity run through a forest based terrain. We have decided to approach the Malaysian AIDS Foundation(MAF) as we realize that AIDS is a matter of concern throughout Malaysia and we hope that every contribution we give to the MAF will help make a difference in the lives of HIV+ patients.

To raise awareness and funds to a charitable NGO body, Malaysian AIDS Foundation.
To expose the participants to the dangers of AIDS.
To challenge the participants to be physically and mentally strong.
To promote healthy living.
To learn to appreciate nature.
For more information please contact the fundraising team at 03 4043 1033 or email us at maf@mac.org.my

Comments: I think there is no 10 km in this run. It may only be 8 km the most. But the hilly slopes are very challenging. There may be only less than 50 people in our category (the B for women and D for men), and the entire event might just have only like less than 200 people. But these kids have tried their best in organising thie show. I would say they have done a great job to raise fund and put up a good show like this. My friend Mr Loh Wing Keen ran 51 min, I clocked 55 min.

Very Good Books (VGB)

2007-08-20T03:09:00.000-07:00

I have recently added these titles in my library and is highly recommended for all you folk who want to improve your career or your life ! These books talk about the same thing "Law of Attraction". It is infact something like Nuero Language Programming (NLP) but was coined in a different approach of preaching. This teaching is pretty much similar to Anthony Robbins' one. But if you have read so much about Anthony Robbins book and even attended his rally, no harm go further to find some self-development books like this to move yourself to a higher level.

These books are not expensive. Go and read them and be positive all the time. May the force be with you !

Need more information, please drop me a comment and will tell you more of what I got from these books.

My friend's father died in an accident some 7 years ago. It may seem a big lost in my friend's life. However, what upset him later was a lenghty battle with the authority to get his father's estate to be cleared and pass on to my friend's hand. The lawyer was always saying that they are doing it, so many years, what do lawyers want ....., you know lah!

Please meet Kim for further consultation in understanding why a will is important in any point of time no matter how much you possessed now ! No obligation, just learn what you need to learn ! Me and my wife have made our wills already !

Learn about E.A.R.N. of good health - Good Reading !

2007-08-13T18:47:00.000-07:00

This book teach you:
Why the government's recommended daily allowances (RDA) of key nutrients aren't equipping your body's natural defenses to protect you from disease-and what amounts you do need
How the breakdown of oxygen inside your body is wreaking havoc-and what you can do to repair the damage
How you can fight back against allergies and constant sinus infections.
Why the drugs your doctor can prescribe are not your best defense against chronic degenerative diseases.

By the way, E.A.R.N. stands for : Exercise, Attitude, Rest, and Nutrition (see each aspect plays a quarter role in your health ! Balance your health in all these aspects so avoid problems when come to older age.) For example, a lot of exercise without proper nutrition intake may soon deteriorate your body condition, like muscle, bone structure, spine condition and so on. This is also the fundamental emphasis in the Sport Science (according to a friend of mine in Master of Sport Science).

Charles Sturt University Online Alumni - YOUR ALUMNI

If you are also a Charles Sturt University graduate, you can visit http://internet-alumni.com/nsw/csu/default.cgi to register as an user.

I graduated in 1994 from the Riverina Campus in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia. That was the time people are using Intel 386-powered computers, no digital camera, no i Pod. You can find this city in most of the atlas or map of Australia, as Wagga is the largest inland city in New South Wales and is some 5 hours drive from Sydney and about 3 hours from Canberra, the Australian Capital. My three and a half years stay in down under has brought me a host of wonderful experience including working experience.

I worked part time as an Eagle Boy's Pizza delivery person, thanks to a Hong Kong friend, Bally who introduced me this fantastic experience. Bally became my colleague and two of us were the only Asians working there. At that time, I was forced to read the map of Wagga Wagga town and understand the network of highways, byways, roads, lanes, avenues and dirt roads/farm roads as well. I can bring you to anywhere in town or outskirt without problem during that time as I was well-trained as a delivery person. I should have pick up another job and make some more bucks; should have been a taxi driver also. However, since I am now residing in Kuala Lumpur (KL), you can call me if you are lost anywhere in KL.

We Are Ready
《We Are Ready》曲﹕金培達詞﹕陳少琪

一年一年的等待　我們看見未來一起用汗水來灌溉
五種色彩一天一天的等待　
心情更加澎湃創造更大的舞臺　
最豪邁的時代這片土地已經准備好　
打開夢想起飛的跑道讓全世界的目光

We　Are　Ready把心和心都連在一起
We　Are　Ready把天和地都連在一起超越了自己　
贏得一場光榮的勝利用時間紀念夢想的神奇
We　Are　Ready一分一秒的等待　
這刻終於到來漫天燦爛的煙花　
在驕傲的盛開這個民族已經准備好　
帶著笑容來向你問好讓全世界的目光　
降落在我們的懷抱
We　Are　Ready把心和心都連在一起
We　Are　Ready把天和地都連在一起超越了自己　
贏得一場光榮的勝利用時間紀念夢想的神奇

Tribe Toyota Carnival at Eye on Malaysia ! On Aug 4, 2007

2007-08-05T18:14:00.001-07:00

Lots of fun and gifts ! Malcolm, in the middle in the above photo, has also won a RM100 MPH Voucher and a RM100 TGIF Voucher !

The Eye-On-Malaysia wheel rotated 10 rounds for about half-an-hour. Each time when it was touching down, we thought it would have already done, however it did not show sign of stopping. When it passed by the entrance/exit gate, we were so surprised and looking forward for a coming round. This happened on and on until we really finished the 10-round and finally settled down for our dinner at about 7.00 pm.

King Of The Road is 19.6km Run ! On Aug 5, 2007

2007-08-05T17:38:00.000-07:00

This was when I am passing by the Wisma Peters section of the Old Klang Road ! Still has about 6 or 7 km to go I believed.

Below is a news coverage in the Star, Aug 6, 2006, Star Sport section:

The Top 10 or more are Kenyan ! They are born champion of the road race !

My close buddy Mr Lai Fong Sang, he ran 1 hr 39 min 32 sec for the entire 19.6 km.

Hot and humid atmosphere at about 8.30 am ! My feet was sore but would endure for the last 6 or 7 km ! See many of them chasing me behind !

This is my second half-maraton (so-called). I finished at 2 hour 14 min 9 sec. Per km speed (by 19.6 km) is 6 min 51 sec. Should this be a 21 km race, I might have ended up with 2 hr 23 min by maintaining this speed. Which is better than my last half-marathon in Penang Bridge Internation Marathon on June 24, 2007, where my record is 2 hr 51 min 38 sec for a 22 km (Per km speed is 7 min 48 sec). At least I am improving, hopefully I can clinch a certificate of completion in the Star PJ Half Marathon on Aug 12, 2007.

Thanks to my wife Ivonne who waited there for one hour to take some pictures !

EPF - You want to retire early ? Look at how much your pension fund is earning !

2007-08-03T18:48:00.000-07:00

Read this in The Star, Friday, Aug 3, 2007, check EPF (Employee Provident Fund) performance and how they invest and what they invest. Look at the top 30 stocks' return, I wonder if I invest my own money there in these same 30 stocks, then I may be earning more than that I save in EPF.

King of the Road August 5, 2007

2007-07-30T22:44:00.000-07:00

Get ready for the coming weekend half marathon event of the year. This event certainly attracted big fans of Marathoners, like the winner of the Penang Bridge Marathon 2007 Mr Sammy Kiprop Kiptoo from Kenya. This is not an easy run for only 300 medals available for finisher. I am not confident to get one as I predict I can only finish the run in 2 hours 15 minutes.

Iridology - For your eyes only !

2007-07-30T21:29:00.000-07:00

"The iris is the wonderful and colourful story-teller" says Bernard Jensen in his popular book "Visions of Health: Understanding Iridology" published in 1992.

According to his book, Iridology (i-rid-doll'-o-jee) is the study of iris, particularly its colour, markings, changes etc as associated with disease. Iris is the most colourful part of eye where it reflects different parts of our entire body, and in Greek it is referred to as RAINBOW. Your rainbow reflects your true health condition.

Petaling Jaya Half Marathon is coming on August 12, 2007. Check the route of the entire 21 km, you can see it also cover part of the busiest stretch of Malaysia's oldest highway - Federal Highway. I cannot imagine how it feels like to run on the usually packed and congested highway with lots of vehicles and fumes blowing into the air. Hope the weather will be fine for us. All the best.

Race to earn your health

2007-07-30T08:45:00.000-07:00

Taking part in marathon and other jogging competition changes my life. I disciplined myself for constant training every day for half to one hour for a distance of three to 10 km each time. This has help to not only earning my health but winning some achievements in life.

My sinus problem has significantly improved, my stamina was enhanced, my mental attitude is at top form, and believe me, this is the best anti-depressant medicine in the world.
