Hey YOU..DoN't B1OcK the BlOgGerZ

We know that every 10 years or so there is a expectation of recession which cause world turmoil, economist predicted the worse is yet to come. Composite Indexes and CPI is depreciating badly that no quick fix can be applied. Policy makers, Investors and stakeholders are debating how much damage could the downturn cause, but none could bravely make any decision.American economy has in recent years  aided by a global web of finance so elaborate that no one seems capable of fully comprehending it. That makes it all but impossible to predict how much the economy can be expected to fall before it stabilizes (NYTIMES). Although many quick measures are being undertaken, it is difficult to undermine the huge investment that need to be made to restore the current situation "amicably" , US is shouting for campaigns and luring people by giving tax rebates & slashing interest rates. The construction Industry is threatened as the building of new houses as dropped to 50% since the peak of 2006-2007. The sales of new house has fallen much faster thus causing over supply to demand, this dragdown the value of houses much lower. There is a expectation many firms will tend to hide or delay in giving reporting on losses they made to erode more anxiety.

Malaysia doesn’t escape from the domino effect that US had created, although we don’t read much on the newspaper, KLCI is good enough to show how the  WALL STREET downward spiral is circling to sweep the ecomomy of Malaysia, A pinch in US will cause pain in all other Countries. The worst recession ( same as what happened in 1930’s) is predicted to happen in 2008-2009.

The banking panics put downward pressure on economic activity in two ways. First, they put fear into the hearts of depositors. Many people concluded that cash in their mattresses was wiser than accounts at local banks (people save money in such way during World War II). The three researchers show that the leading economists at the time, at competing forecasting services run by Harvard and Yale, were caught completely by surprise by the severity and length of the Great Depression. What’s worse, despite many advances in the tools of economic analysis, modern economists armed with the data from the time would not have forecast much better. In other words, even if another Depression were around the corner, you shouldn’t expect much advance warning from the economics profession (N.Gregory Mankiew).Let’s hope for the best and safeguard our job, save/invest money in trusted and reliable banking & investment firm.

Sunday schools are different from education schools that touch based on certain subject or calculations. Sunday school teach us to use our own creativity such as crafts, drawing, coloring and followed by bible studies. However SRF (Self Realization Foundation ) has imposed unique methologies quantified with numerous handpicked lessons for growing children which I witnessed personally. The lessons help them to grow and outwit the delusion that we’re adopting now. They are taught
Im personally gifted to witness how the Senior members of SRF, Kuala Lumpur mould the lessons into each children. Based on simple modules such as story telling, prayers and singing provides crucial information and balanced education to the children. Children loves story and their attentiveness is easily attuned and attracted , they tend to keep their focusness.I find the lessons - teaching by GREAT Paramahamsa Yogananda gives importance to many little things that we may tend to defocus and seems not necessary. The focus is always oneand only with GOD, all of us are aware and there is a strong beliefs that GOD do speak with Kids - being the most purest creation.The children are taught the right mechanism to say prayers, something which Im not taught When I was a kid, Our parents do encourage us to pray, we know there is a Supreme power that watch us constantly however we performed our prayes " as being Told" without any sincerity. Our parents often tell us that if you do this mistake, god will punish you and  this has instantaneously created fear in all of us, But not LOVE towards God. A Senior Member from SRF KL teach us on how to Love God by relating some true wonderful stories, special prayers,songs & affirmations. The method is easily adopted by any kids as she used layman english with a lot of affection, loving and diligently taught the children on how to say prayers for parents, friends and their siblings something which all of us adopted ONLY when we started growing more maturedly, we’re selfish we only pray to ourselves especially during Major exams such as PMR or SPM and we will only pray that " I must get x number A’s " we never pray for our friends or our brothers or sisters .

There are also some creative lessons arranged for the kids which enables them to use their skills and mindset. The lessons taught in SRF which occurs once a month will certainly creates impact to children’s mental and physical growth. The unique meditation techniques combines with spiritual classes will ensure the children grows up in a oasis of Learned Ones and cultivate them for betterment in their personal life. With the current pandemic of kids extreme behaviour and crimes, Right Spiritual education will help the growing kids to keep closer to God and start to Love GOD more sincerely. GOD will be their Best Friends and develop divine friendship.

Request : I do hope parents whom are willing to invest for their children for Piano, karate

and other classes will also consider Spiritual classes. Furthermore the Senior members of SRF KL, has vast experience and the lessons are specially prepared by Mother Center in US.

One Shall Not Forget How the Spiritual Sunday classes shaped Britain.

After applying for Sunway Photography trip (a 2D1N trip to the Lost World of Tambun, Ipoh), my many weeks of waiting ended after I received a call from Michael, AMBP selection. I’m very much delighted and immediately agreed to join the trip. Applying for leave is not a problem for me  . AMBP,relatively new in Malaysia, has setup creative programmes for young blogger like me. The project collates ideas and constructively encourages to think differently and at the same time cultivate hidden skills - for example photography. Upon receiving the itinerary I was  busy preparing to ensure that I’m equipped and geared. We left to Tambun at 10:30am from Menara Star (Phileo Damansara). Transportation along with coach was sponsored by MayFlower. Seating in the bus is comfortable and conducive. The tourist coach gave short presentation on our arrival and other safety measures. . Mayflower provides travel services for almost all top notch companies and it is well known to deliver what is promised and it is a well known virtue of theirs. Prior to this, many times I have used Mayflower services for most of my business trips to Europe and in Asia. When we reached Tambun approximately at 1:30pm, my (our) stomach was growling louder than the tigers in the valley.
We’re received by the Sunway Officals followed by Malayana Tribe dance. What I could hear next was sounds of ‘clicks and flashes of lights’ … Yes photoshooting !!! Then, We’re taken for a short train ride. Ms.Christine (Sunway official) gave a splendid explanation on the salient features of the Park at Sunway Lagoon Resort. At Tiger Valley, which was the next hop, I’m amazed to see such a huge tiger after almost a decade (the last one I saw was at Singapore Zoo when I’m just merely 10 years Old)  It’s amazing to witness the way Sultan, the tiger, grabs its piece of cake (meat). My excitement and amusement continued by the appearance of cute tiger cubs. In the midst of smiles and laughter, i thought to myself "God! You and Your creation indeed beautiful!" The tiger cubs are so adorable kiddos !!
So far entertained my eyes!! Time to entertain my stomach (since it’s signalling for food)!!! So, walked into Kepura Cave for a sumptuous and delicious lunch (first time having lunch at Cave, without bats and other creatures). Now that stomach is full, it is time for some action! A Photography workshop was conducted by Sham, a freelancer for European Agency, who taught and gave tips on photography. I must say that the session is excellent.
Now, it is camping time! At Needle Village, With the help of Vicki , Raaja and Novin i set up my tent where I’m the only resident. My little hut.. Home Sweet Home…is surrounded with trees,bushes and mountains. I rejoiced the connection with Nature that Sunway had painstakingly built and created a beautiful retreat.
Time to get wet! 4 of us walked to soak ourselves at Splashing water park. Me being first timer, I found it quite amazing to feel the solitudes of water and freshness everywhere. Although I didn’t join the trio , I enjoyed capturing the memories in the little device of mine. I’m filled with laughters and happy moments transformed my mind into childlike.
Stomach growling again , it is time for dinner. The aroma of bbq spices and sauces is intoxicating and created gastronamic effect in our tummy. The chef are busy preparing dinner for all of us. We had mouthful of satays, bbqued chicken and sausages and fruit cocktail to wash down the sauces in our mouth. We continously posed to the clicks from many different angles. Next we played the live Counter Strike - The Ultimate Tactial game, it is fun, we’re geared with guns (that can be reloaded) and "ammunition ". We lost to our opponents however it is an adventurous game which involves strategy. However we had fun, that is more important. Raaja’s team won the strike !! Great ! We enjoyed the rest of the night listening to the music of insects’ screeches and rhymes while soaking our feet in the Natural Hot Spring. We yakked away and throwed some grapes to our "Human-Dolphins" in the hot spring.
Another wonderful day!! The next day I woke up as early as 6:30am to catch the early sun-rise plus milk feeding to cubs. I would say that I was frozen without air condition inside the camp !! The morning fresh air creates spikes in our body. It is very fascinating to view the surrounding mountains around Sunway City while watching the cubs being fed with milk. I took light breakfast later, getting prepared for the 6th Mile cave exploration which is arranged by Sunway Officials. We’re divided into 2 groups which consist of 15 of us. Vicki’s group went to Gua Datok while ours to 6th Mile Cave exploration - it is a wet adventure. We did a light excercise to relax our muscles. We wore the cave gears such as head lamp, life jacket and safety helmet. Our cameras are packaged into durable plastics, we’re given Carbo snack and a bottle of mineral water. We swam to the entrance of Cave, we need to cross the river, however due to thick mud (till my waist) we’re supposed to float/swim by holding a rope towards the cave. It is adventurous floating….The entrance of the cave is much smaller than my dog’s tunnel,and it is the same till the end pheww !! The water level is upto my chest.. Arghhh !! Well it is adventure and challenging. The cave was utilized and re-made by Communism during the world war, It is amazing to witness, the hidden treasures of Sunway -deep inside the cave. The crystals shines in dark, the huge array of rocks built by Communis is breathtaking, the patterns of the cave is engraved by Stalagcytes and Stalagmites, the drops from the limestones is chill enough for goosebumps that travels on my spines !!! Not forgetting bats that are dancing on the top !! We reached the end of tunnel, some mountains, we traced the river bank to find for its origin, the water fall is very cool and chilling, I took my chance to give a Shampoo advertisement shot.. hahah  the next moment I know.. I slipped and fell, Im too much delighted with the water fall till forgets to watch my steps on mosses rocks. Yeah I’m hurt terribly but the water is chill enough to distract the pain. I feel very connected and attached to Mother Nature and started enjoying everything that I saw and feel, even when I fell and got hurt. We managed to take some shots of mother nature, Bunga Kantan ( a spice that is well used in Rendang and Curries). We walked back through the same cave to reach our camps. So it is double adventure for all of us, those who missed to capture the uniqueness of the cave had a second chance to witness the art and creativity of divine. Although tired and soaked in fresh water, Im still energetic. Sunway officials had prepared hot steaming food for lunch, I enjoyed the lunch very much, it is one of the best lunch that I ever had, so fresh and tasty. Next I took the final oppurtunity before we head back to KL to soak myself in the Natural Spring Water, the high water pressure from Rock Tiger eases our tiredness away and it is rejuvenating.
Time to pckup!! All of us are busy bringing down our camps and the trio helped me to fold the camps and instruments back to the origins. Before we onboarded our bus, Sunway Officials presented us with a momento, something for us to remember every morning - Yes !! Ipoh White Coffe. After boarding the bus, the next moment all of us dozed off !! Tired but very adventurous experience.

I would like to take the oppurtunity to thank AMBP ( Michael and Andy) , MayFlower and Sunway City Management for arranging such an adventurous and challenging trip for us. It will rejoice in each and everyone’s mind and Sunway Lagoon Resort is a great retreat that one should opt for after medling in a hustle-bustle city life. It’s fortunate to be part of AMBP and looking forward to get myself involved in their upcoming activities.
 
Blogging - a passion that brought a bunch of us - together as FRIENDS.

I started my journey as early as 8am to Singapore, took Aeroline the so called luxury coach, Im not that satisfied with the service provided for the huge money that I paid. Not much on entertainment and pamperings. Reached harbourfront at 1:30pm, still 3 more hours to go for Sandy’s ROM. Thus went to Harboufront shopping, bought some T-Shirts and Japanese delicacies from the fair that is being held inside the mall itself. Pocky cost me SG1 which is quite reasonable or cheap thus bought back quite a number of unique food stuffs that rarely found in Malaysia, ie Smashmallows with Puddings, strawberry, pretzels and Japanese grapes. My stomach is growling, thought os savouring Indianised food , hence took MRT to Little India for perfect Non-Veg food. I walked across Tekka Marker Lane, kerbau Road and finally found this Madras New Woodlands, So signoard indicating it is pure vegetarian food, thus entered the restaurant and ordered a meal. My stomach growling heavily now, the food is served and i feel cheated cause it is a Vegetarian meal instead of Non-Veg. Later I realised it is pure Veg food.
wHAT disappointment ??? Ehmmm smirking and ate the food. Soon after that I walked to Jothi Store Impex and amazed to see the decorative items that is hung for deepavali , greeting cards, sarees, salwars and raw vegetables just being unloaded from lorries. Songs are blasting everywhere, im engrossed in the deepavali mood and a bit reluctant to walk away.Next took a MRT to City Plaza, walk to Peninsular Plaza - this is not a new building for me either. Singapore has developed much from where I left almost 9 years ago. Now Im dressed up and getting ready to Fort Canning Park, Im told FCP is near to Raffles place and behind peninsular plaza , thus I started asking around whether it is possible to walk to FCP, people started mistook me, thinking Im the Bride !@@$$#%$% !! Wishes and congratulating wishes started pouring heavily for me..hahaha Good Joke of the year. I took cab to FCP and greeted by Sandy’s Eldest nephew. Sandy is radiating with her sensual smiles, never seen her shyness perhaps that is waning so long in her. I could see enormous sparkle of joy enumerating from
her eyes. Im formally introduced to her Husband to be , Mr.Kannan. Very humble, pleasant and soft spoken. Very gentlemanism.I chatted & gawking happily with her nieces ,sisters and nephews. Very warm folks, cheerful and I feel very much close to them. After the witness arrived, their NRIC are swiped into the decorder and while waiting for their turn we took turn to take photo’s. I entered the ROM office together with rest of her family members, first time Im witnessing a Marriage registration, very clearly explained before both of them take the oath, very meaningful too. They look at each other’s eyes before confessing the magic word of "I Do ". After that Exchange of rings followed by kisses.
We had photograph session theafter at the garden area. I need to return back to JB the same evening as I’m unable to get any hotels ( due to F1 season), hotels are charging SGD800 for a Standard room that used to be only SGD120. It is sad that I could not join Sandy & Kannan’s ROM dinner. As Im taking my leave, Kannan’s family mistook me for a non-Indian Wedding event planner ………Hahahahaha !!!
