Above is taken from my Instagram account showcasing 4 important tips in life. Let the picture speaks for itself and we should live by these nuggets of wisdom.

Above is a picture of my 2nd dose of Comirnaty, PFIZER brand vaccination at KPJ Specialist Hospital in Bandar Perda. We had to cross over via the Penang Bridge to the mainland, for my last vaccination. Even though we have received the full doses, we still need to wear a mask, especially the KN95 type for protection. In the meantime, stay safe, stay healthy and stay happy! That's it for this week's post.

[Video] Travel to China before Covid, covering 4 places - Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Wuxi

The above is a walk down memory lane just before Covid-19 hits. It was a trip to China covering 4 places - Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Wuxi, by Air Asia. Those were the heydays and carefree years away from the fear of contracting the recent pandemic that has ravaged the world economy, made millions unemployed and homeless, so say the least.

Anyway, enjoy the night lights of a river cruise in Wuxi, supposedly a retirement town in China. Yet it was bustling with activities at night like tourists such as yours truly patronizing this lovely town for its man-made lights and creations along the small river. Just beside this river were many souvenir gift shops for your shopping indulgence.

As usual, I got myself some fridge magnets from the various countries that I had visited for posterity and the dozens of magnets stuck to my fridge as a mini celebration of my world tour. Each year, I will visit different country/ countries before Covid-19. So, now I just stay at home, even during Christmas, where previously it was routine to visit Genting Highlands for its fresh mountain air, and to dine plus a little shopping. Gambling is a big no-no.

Hope you like the colorful Instagram picture above taken from my account. In all things, we need to put God and Jesus first, so that our labor will not be in vain. Also, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of GOD. See the picture below for some nuggets of wisdom.

Enjoy. God's Word is our most powerful weapon against depression, sickness, poverty, and other ills of society. Finally and in retrospect, stay safe and stay at home if possible.

On Site Visit and Traveling back to Penang via the Second Bridge

I followed my business partner to Butterworth recently for an on-site visit and thereafter, we went back via Penang second bridge. This bridge is much longer and more curvy compared to the first one that was straight with more views of the seas. We also passed by several MNCs or factories in Bayan Lepas, the Silicon Valley of Penang. It is an area that has many factories which manufactures high tech gadgets, semi-conductors, silicon chip, and more. Examples are Plexus, Intel, Agilent, and such.

I am also a little tired from all the online work at home using my laptop and smartphone. This morning, I am feeling a little groggy, even though I slept early last night, and forgot to bathe since I overslept. Anyway, in this Covid-19 pandemic, it is better to live one day at a time and count our blessings of being alive with God's grace.

In the USA, more than 220,000 Americans have passed on due to Covid-19. I hope and pray that this situation will be controlled. I had also watched a video of how people are leaving New York City in droves due to money being channeled to other departments and no longer to the NY police department and rubbish removal department. This is simply absurd. Prisoners are freed and rubbish uncollected due to no income from the Federal Government.

On a positive note, see my "Good Morning" Instagram picture below:

See how pretty the graphics are in the aforementioned picture. I take pride in uploaded lovely pictures from my Instagram account. This is certainly uplifting and encouraging to view, instead of watch negative news of the world on Astro tv.

Stay at Flamingo Hotel and a Always Wear Your Mask

This shows our last minute change of plans from travelling to Terengganu for a meeting to an unplanned stay in Flamingo Hotel, Penang for a night. The director couldn't make it at the last minute while we were travelling on Penang Bridge and luckily it was just the start of the long journey by road. Well, it is unfortunate that our plane fare booked via Malindo Air website had to be exchanged to travel vouchers instead of returning us the money. This cost the company about $1.7k for a return flight for 2 pax. We also had to cancel our booking that is non-refundable via Agoda.com and lost $500 thereabout for 2 nights in Grand Continental.

To be frank, it was rather stressful, having prepared the PowerPoint slides show presentation and tidy up the bits and pieces to encounter this 11th hour change. I can only pray to our Heavenly Father to help us out in this predicament; who sees a helicopter view of what's actually happening. Anyway, I created another humorous video below to de-stress, with a lesson of always putting on your mask especially in the lift and in this covid-19 pandemic, so as not to spread any virus nor contract it.

Today is the first of September and I am grateful for the blessings that come, no matter what, especially in this mayhem caused by the virus that has wrecked global economy and speed up recession worldwide. This video above is a MUST SEE, as it is so funny watching it repeatedly. It certainly relates to most of us, especially for those staying in highrise or condominiums and apartments with lifts.

Yesterday was our National Day on 31st August in Malaysia.

Above is a lovely "Good Morning" and "Happy Tuesday" Instagram pictures from my account. I will occasionally post these beautiful pictures for posterity on my Instagram and look through them as a reminder of the times that pass by.

Below is another Instagram picture. Enjoy!

My Working Trip in Langkawi in 1998

This showcases my working-cum-holiday trip to Langkawi in 1998. Yes, 2 years before this Covid-19 pandemic. That is why you don't see me wearing a mask then. Those were the carefree days from this virus outbreak.

If you view the lovely video with scenic shots till the end, you will see the various panoramic landscapes of the beautiful, untouched island of Langkawi,with many duty free items for sale like liquor, chocolates, batik, perfumes, floral cutleries, and many other high-end items.

There are many activities to do in Langkawi, such as, island hopping by boat, snorkelling, take a short helicopter ride who get a bird's eye view of Cenang Beach Bay, see the beautiful sunset by the horizon on a yatch, visiting many places of tourists' attractions, and more.

This little island is jam-packed with tourism industry. There are many cashew nuts, pistachios, and chocolates that you cannot find in the usual malls of other parts of Malaysia.

This is what makes Langkawi so special where tourist from locals and foreign countries flock here and patronise the restaurants, shopping malls, etc. There are enough bad news flying around the media worldwide and even locally. Hence, I shall dwell the carefree days then to stay happy and cheerful.

Sometimes, we all need a break from the monotony of work and work and blogging is my passion. Simply because I can pen my thoughts freely, without anyone telling me what to write and such. There is this freedom that you get to enjoy as you blog your musings and also rants. Okay, stay safe and practise social distancing, everyone.

As today is a Monday, the first day of the week, I would like to cheer us up with the lovely yellow themed picture from my Instagram account.

2016 Christmas Performance on Superstar Libra Cruise

Above is a removed short video taken by me while on board Genting's SuperStar Libra cruise that no longer berth here in Penang's Swettenham Pier. It used to be a twice weekly cruise from Penang to the International High Seas for the gamblers to play their favorite games, whatever they are, and try their lady luck at winning something, hopefully. Those were the days of leisure and fun, while working hard in a home office. Well, as you can see from the video, it was near Christmas way back in 2016 and we were lucky to get a chance at getting on board this short cruise for a night. The performance was about 16 seconds, so I appreciate if you watch to the end on this lively song and dance. Now as I look back at my old videos, I can reminiscence the good times I had with my spouse and best friend. I hope my future videos will entertain with more songs, performances, and such. In the meantime, Enjoy the show!
