Happy Merdeka!

Today is Malaysia's 50th anniversary of independance since British occupation in 1957. For the last 50 years, we have lived with some freedom to make money and live as a normal citizen. With the status quo, I hope we can achieve further prosperity with the different races living side by side to make Malaysia a successful nation.

And you can grab the nice Happy Merdeka banners from Enveluv.com. He has designed a few beautiful banners just for this special occasion and public holiday today. Most people have taken 3-4 days of continuous holidays outstation or stay in a local hotel like myself. Well, I just came back from Penang's City Bayview with the revolving restaurant. Last night, I saw beautiful fireworks displayed at the stroke of midnight to declare Merdaka Day.

It was during near autumn and the outdoor camp was an exhilarating experience with almost negative 4 degrees Celcius outside.

Inheritance

A wise man leaves an inheritance for his children's children. - Proverbs 13:22.

For parents with children, they should not think that leaving property or money for their kids is a waste where they should spend it on themselves. A pastor in another church even shared in his sermon that he won't leave any thing for his children. What lame excuse! Well then go read Proverbs 13:22 where it is clearly stated that a WISE man leaves an inheritance for his children's children. Two generations down the road. As parents you should not think that your kids will squander away your wealth. One parent lamented, "Why leave so much for the kids? Let them earn their own money!" This is the general opinion of most middle-class working parents.

Thank goodness, I have also seen some rich parents spending a huge chunk of their money to help their kids start up their own business. Instead of working outside for others, why not work for yourself and keep all the money? The best way to do this is to go into business venture and set up a company. I have seen 2 or 3 clients where the generous father pays to have futsal courts set up for their kids to run and manage. If your kids are poor, when you are old, who is going to take care of you? Think of it as a win-win basis when you leave some money for your kids to spend on as you age.

Proverbs 20

Lazy hands make you grow poor but diligent hands find food. There are many verses from the book of Proverbs reminding us to be diligent and not to be slothful. We ought to follow the way of the ant, gathering food in harvest time to store them up for winter. Likeway, make hay while the sun shines. Grab the opportunity when there is the chance. While we are able and healthy, we should work for as long as possible till the day we die.

On the other hand, idle minds tend to find fault with other people. While others can sleep whole day without working and wake up in time for food. Well, I don't have such a priviledge and don't intend to be a financial burden to my caregivers. Work is also a form of exercise and we ought to work hard each day.

In a Holiday Mood

I am still in a holiday mood after the 8-day guided tour to Beijing. That's why you still don't see my photos taken in China. There are at least 150 of them and I have downloaded to my computer. But just not in the mood to process them for the blogs. I feel like napping more to recover from the tiredness and much walking. My legs' muscles are not so painful now and slowly recovering. After so much enjoyment, I am still taking my time to rest and relax instead of going full speed at work prior to the trip. It is so nice to work at home, where you don't have to go for the mad rush to work, get caught in traffic jams and need to dress up and put on make-up.

Tiring Tour

For the recent trip to Beijing, China, there was plenty of walking to do. Most of the tour destinations like the Great Wall of China, Tiananman Square, Forbidden City require plenty of walking and viewing. I had to wake up around 6:30am from the morning call, and have breakfast at 7:00am and wait at the lobby by 7:30am. Then the bus will take us to places for the whole day until 9:00pm everyday. As I am still feeling tired from the 8-day trip, I shall only put the photos later when I have more time. Feel like going back to nap after my blogging here. Need to recover from the trip.

Hotel Reservations

For my recent trip to China just a few days ago, I stayed in Timbo Hotel in Beijing. It has two double beds and the room was very big and luxurious. In fact this is the biggest room I have seen other than suites that I have stayed in Singapore. And the price was reasonable. I also stayed in another hotel, a smaller one in Chende, the smallest city in China.
