CRP is at it again. It is all over the world. Its products, now from various multi-national companies all over the world, is being manufactured in CRP, and disctributed all around the world.   And lately, the impact is also worldwide. Worldwide poisoning due to hazardous chemicals being used in the products.   The result? Worldwide banning of the so-called ‘cheap-labor-and-big-profit’ products. This big country is at it… again.   I’m waiting for the next scene on the news…  

Life Is a Gift   Today before you think of saying an unkind word Think of someone who can't speak.   Before you complain about the taste of your food Think of someone who has nothing to eat.   Before you complain about your husband or wife Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.   Today before you complain about life Think of someone who went too early to heaven.   Before you complain about your children Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.   Before you argue about your dirty house , someone didn't clean or sweep  Think of the people who are living in the streets.   Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.   And when you are tired and complain about your job Think of the unemployed , the disabled and those who wished they had your job.   But before you think of pointi...

When the year started , there was also a “contest” instituted by the head of the Children’s ministry in our church. When my daughter showed me the piece of paper and explained what it was , and what they were supposed to do , and what will happen at the end of the specified period , some thoughts immediately raced through my mind right there and then.   What:    Collect the papers on a weekly basis; keep and secure them Who:      Kids who attend the Sunday class When:   Every Sunday , so long as there is class held; until the 6 months is over   Yesterday , the papers were counted. True enough , my expected result , or at least , a prediction I made came true.   A certain child got a complete set of these papers. That is very good , isn’t it? Well , it isn’t. You see , the child went back to her home country twice in the 6-month period of...

Have you ever noticed that food is now tastier , and the vegetables greener? Have you now noticed that the table is rendered empty after every meal?   Maybe , the kids are growing and they consume more. Or maybe , the cooking has improved dramatically. Or maybe , the amount prepared and served is less than before…   Or is it all maybe due to the 2% GST increase? Now 7%?  

For a few nights now , I’ve been seeing the news , and before the cast is ended , there is always the Quiz that is given to all viewers , but only applies to citizens. It is the whereabouts and whatabouts of this year’s celebration.   Of course , those who answer correctly , and are selected when their SMS is received , also get a prize , either a ticket to the program , or some other tangible items.   It was then that I realize the organizers’ reason behind for their throwing this Quiz , which is , if I can recall correctly , every year. Year after year , they hold this quiz.   It is not so much on the prizes. It is not so much on the head knowledge of the people. It goes much deeper. It is their appreciation of their independence. It is about their involvement and participation. It is , on top of it all , about their citizenship.   The government is  on the right track of educating and ...

Today , I told my eldest daughter to pass in her second application for exemption from offering mother tongue language to her school admin. I was joking her , that , were she asked further , she’d take Yalam instead of the Oriental tongue she is now taking. To top the joke , I imitated the way these guys talk – which is very emphatic!   Then , I remembered a very famous singer from this race. She is indeed a good singer. She is SN. Here is Gapor , where the races are mixed , we have various artists in the different entertainment industries as well. So you can take your pick. Naturally , our pretty miss have her own fans , and the artists have theirs as well. Recalling one article that was written about Ms SN , she is compared alongside the other so-called singers of the other skin color. She was favored. Because of this , because of that , blah , blah , blah. The punch line is this; her fame is due to her purity onst...

Well , it might sound serious , but this is a joke…     HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB   Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation.   If they are counting the bricks – put them in the accounts department.   If they are recounting them – put them in auditing.   If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks – put them in engineering.   If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order – put them in planning.   If they are throwing the bricks at each other – put them in operations.   If they are sleeping – put them in security.   If they have broken the bricks into pieces – put them in information technology.   ...
