Enough is enough.

I've had enough of biting my own lips, complaining in my own head, how much I disliked this blog.

This blog so shallow, it fails to speak much about myself, failing to mirror anything beneath the surface.
It functioned as a report of what I've did.
It functioned as a publicity tool to help promote the event I'm running.

I guess, the best function I did with it,
was appreciating my friends of what they've did. :)
Of course, I do meant what I said,
they must be that great that, even when I never find time to write about my feelings or thoughts or a bad day I've been through, they seem to give me enough drive and motivation to finish up a long post about them.


However, the least I could do without is for another person to think that just because I'm Bouncy, bouncy and jumpy all the time, means I'm not subjected to the downfall of 'gravity'.
I only made a choice to rebounce quicker.

I have this weird mentality that where ever I'm present, I always want to make people Happy, it's my utmost priority and obligation.
Putting other people's happiness over my own (even by the means of making myself the dumbest girl on earth, a classic example like,"Think vienna think!" should find it's place in cinematography effect for the audience's viewing pleasure to make them happy category).

Maybe in my subconscious mind, I believe if "Everyone's happy, I'm happy", otherwise I don't know why I always want to make sure everyone's laughing and happy, hmm..
I don't know if I did made people happier, but if I'm trying too hard next time, tell me.

Finally, I suppose the name *BabyVv* doesn't do much justice for people to think otherwise, it sounded either like a bimbotic plastic girl or a cutesy wannabe.
(I didn't get this link myself!)

Now, The end of a mouthful of murmurs.

Haha, looking back, this post probably sounded pretty awful, but i'm feeling great now! that I got all my grunts, grumble, mumble out ! =D

Also, It's probably time to announce that I'm shifting to a new blog! =)
A blog that would speak more about myself.
I hope this time, I would fulfill my promise to myself.

You know, I have so much to write about.
So much thoughts to share about rather than this blog with just an egg layout with happy, jumpy, bouncy content.
It's never all that.
So much from Malaysia Leadership Development Seminar, to Youth dhamma camp, to National Youth Entrepreneur Convention to Celcom League of Extraordinary Developers which my team just won RM150k grant.

There is much more to me, things that I wished I could write about.


But being Vienna, she just doesn't allocate enough time to write.
That's about it.

YDC17 :) A Seed of Hope.

Just a song I love on my playlist :)

My Great Mistake by Marie Digby

Everyone is in a hurry
To get up, get out, get on
When I'd rather be climbing up a tree
And trying to get some sun
Oh no no

Why the hurry
What are you chasin'
Do you even know
Don't rush me, I wanna figure this out on my own
In my own own way
Let me go, let me grow, let me fly away
cause if I don't, it'll be my great mistake

All my friends are worried
Say that I'm such a crazy girl
Cause I'm just dancin'
Don't need a reason in this crazy world

No one knows
Why you runnin'
There's no one comin'
Do you even know
Don't rush me, I wanna figure this out on my own
In my own own way
Let me go, let me grow, let me fly away
Cause if I don't, it'll be my great mistake

Days go by
Too many people
They're all the same
I wanna laugh in water
Feeling all like a child again
Don't rush me, I wanna figure this out on my own
In my own time

Let me go, let me grow, let my fly away
Cause If I don't it'll be my great mistake
Let me go, let me grow, let me fly away

Cause if I don't it'll be my great mistake. :)

Things that has happened.

Every breath I took felt so deep.

If you'd given me one minute, there's a gazillion things that I could just mumble about in a mouthful. U know ;) (like psst! One minute isn't even enough for One of my lame jokes!) me with all those rubbish & my Crappy-dabby-doo talks!

But somehow when it comes to speaking about my innate thoughts and feelings, I'm a badbad paradox.
I once read Pei hao blog,

So how well do you actually express yourselves? Of course there is like lots and lots of ways to express your feeling, so what do you normally respond to people? And you most probably will go like:" Well, it pretty much depends on what scenario? who is that person? and also whats my mood?"

do you realise what you responded most of time will be how people look at you or define you but deep down you know that it is just a small part of you. Have you been called the happy go lucky one or joke master or mr. Nice Guy or mr.Cool or Kinky girl or hot tempered or horny guy, I mean it is not necessary that they have a nick name for you but you are somehow fall to a category in them. And when you fall into that category, you would actually somehow lived up to it without realising! Only until someday that when you can't stand it anymore that you realise that its time to change and you will need to discover yourselves all over again.

Expressing it is something rather difficult to me. I'm the type of person who will do anything but to admit my own feelings, of how I'm actually feeling.

Ie: If there's a good fruit, I would shout my lungs out to get absolutely everyone I could to share and eat it with, but if there's a bad fruit, I would throw & bury it in my own backyard, so that no one could see it. (I'd rather suffer and cry by myself, but share my happiness with others. I want others to be happy, not sad.) 

So what if it kicks in, and people do stereotype me as the O-hei-yoh-happy-happy-happy girl~
Whose everyday in her life is filled with rainbow, sunshine, sugar, spice and everything nice.
Seems like a pretty not bad thing.
If I'm given the choice, I would rather want to be someone who knows only A,B,C than one who knows from A to Z.

If I could control everything,
I would make you bow down ballerina style and I'll command you to fetch me, ur highness a Rainbow coloured Apple!

But seriously, if I could control something in the world, I would want to put an end to the need for tears & sufferings.

I'm blessed enough to be able to live this life with all my needs and wants fulfilled.

Sometimes as I reflect upon the course of my life, every experiences that I've encounter, I'm just plain glad that I'm born into this family and have lived the life as Looi Vien Na :D

So corny. x)
But it's quite an awesome life to live by, really ! =D

I like the quote from the movie 'Money Not Enough'-

The poorest moment isn't when your pocket is empty,
it is when ur pocket is full yet everything else felt empty.
You are missing something money can't buy, Love.

Perhaps it's because I watched it with my family,
in which at so many points, the story relates to us so much.
So much, that I never recalled sobbing so much.
It's because I felt it.

My family,
*took a big breathe*
isn't the most perfect family.

Since young, to pay the bills & to raise us up, daddy mommy had to work.
They however work at ungodly hours, when I was young, I used to see them twice a week. Why so? It's because they come back from work at 12am? 2am? 3am? when I'm asleep, and when I've hopped on the Aunty's car to school, they're still asleep.
We don't get to eat together as a family, if we do gather for dinner, it'll be once a week, or rather, none.

Through the years, I failed to realise how matters has became among us, especially in between us brothers and sisters.
It wasn't until recently that I realised that, I was such an ignorant & nonchalant big sister all these years.

Witnessing the sight of your family slowly breaking apart in front of your very eyes, the bond between the siblings tormented & fading away and your parents arguing and having thoughts of divorcing was the most painful thing one could suffer.
It was for me.

I really could not afford to, not even imagining that happening.

There was a time, that mommy and grandma argued, mommy couldn't stand it and ran out of the house.
At that moment, I was striked by thoughts that I'll never ever get to see mommy again, I crumbled deep down inside, but when all cried, I know I could not afford to, as the eldest of them all in the family.

I could have did something.
That's when I started doing something. Up till today, I didn't know if what I did was right: informing mommy's family about what's happening, bringing my siblings out to search for mommy, spending hours to to communicate with daddy, then mommy, and then telling daddy what mommy think, and telling mommy what daddy thinks, trying to pull my parents back together again....

I don't know if I've helped things.
I just can't not do anything about it.


What mommy said that I was focussing so much effort outside, rather than into the family brought me down to tears.
I should have put in more effort into the family, as the eldest in the family when daddy mommy is not around.

I hope it's not all too late.

But I'm trying.


I really hope that I could fix things before I'm off to Poland.

Anna,
I guess I won't be able replace the position of your friends in your heart. I started way too late to care for you. In my heart, you're still the Japanese little dollie anna, so really obedient & good girl. I only hoped that you would share with me your problems like you did when ur bestie is leaving you, I can give you a hug, I can listen to you, and I will be here for you, always, for the rest of your life.
I'll not leave you. I love ya,ann.

Joo,
Last time, Daddy mommy used to plead me to talk to you whenever they fail to. You used to be so stubborn, so headstrong and rebellious. I finally managed to convince you that the reason why daddy was so hard against you, was only because he loved you.
As your jie, I'm really really proud that you've grown up so much. :)
It's surprising I get to communicate with you pretty well, you're the person who knows most of what I'm doing.
Pls take care of the family when I'm gone kay?

Seh,
You're the youngest in the family, I used to think that you're really naughty and complained to mommy that you never want to listen to grandma. But you proved me wrong, few days ago, you were advising anna instead. :) haha, i was so proud. I was crying and laughing. Sometimes, I feel that although being the youngest, you have the best mind of us all. You're so young, yet you know so much, that I didn't know when I was your age. Seh, I know I haven't been talking enough and cared of your needs, all I thought of was daddy mommy's budget over your feelings. Forgive jie jie kay?

Mommy,
Please don't work till so late. I'm worried of your safety (remember to keep the pepper spray that i bought for you along with you) Above everything, I'm really worried for your health.
Eating dinner at 3am, sleeping at 5am, waking up at 9am, even robots wouldn't have lasted as long as you did. In tears, you told me, that you never get to live your life for yourself. :( and how you wished that you could sleep today & never wake up tomorrow? It used to hurt me so much because I tried & still I can't do anything but to cry with you.
But mommy, I see that you're happier of late, please still keep it that way when I'm gone :)
Mommy, try to sub your workload out even if it costs more $, in this case money can buy us a healthier & happier mommy. Take good care of yourself first because a Sick mommy can't take care of us.

Daddy,
You are a great daddy to me, some little things that you talked to me about, showed how wise & knowledgeable a person you are. The way you think, is none of the ordinary. However,I realised that all the qualities you've is gone-your patience & wisdom when it comes to matters dealing with grandma. Whatever things obstructing grandma's priority seems to be kicked away by you. I really love granny too, and I don't mean to put her needs aside. I understand that grandma is the most important person to you, but shall you think a little of others, just a little, with the calm & wise mind that you have, give some thoughts before another flame is thrown at others because of granny.
And daddy, remember to abide by the *New Looi family House Rule* that I set ok? Hohoho!
Bring the whole family out to club for swimming & sports every Sunday, 9am!! (u asked why? because if it's too late, we'll end up Char Siew Yok!)
And, Love not just us, above all, Love Your Wife ah ~!

Have you forgotten?
She's the reason of a family.

And why there's a family.

HAPPWEE MOO YEAR !

PUISH SLOW DOWN! PUISH SLOW DOWN !

It's just my dad,

he was joking about the GPS he bought me, he was commenting on how slow he was driving and the GPS device keeps telling him that at 50 KM/H - he's driving too fast! And at 40KM/H, it still goes like......

"PUISH SLOW DOWN! PUISH SLOW DOWN !" O.O"
^ Yeah, he said Puish instead of Please.
Hahaha I was having a hearty laugh from it, it's just the way he jokes about things and taking life rather light-heartedly. =)
In my heart, he's always this Ridiculous & Generous man, with the river of wisdom flowing deep within.

My dad is awesome! =)

Awhile later, mom's complaining about sis being too Sampat! haha according to mommy, sis is laughing too loudly for a girl. Incoming the bro who interupted "COME ON LA, I EVERYDAY in class also can HEAR HER VOICE LIKE imitating her laughter *HAHAHA* *HAHAHA*
It's definitely not my bad influence! *covers face* Like SINCE WHEN am I laughing very loudly? NEVER!

It must be my mom's ear, being over sensitive! Like Totally! 1000%!
*Thoughts to self* Since that's in here to stay for awhile, maybe instead of covering my mouth next time ,
i Could cover her EARS !
;) Heh. I'm so smart!

Back to my blog, I think I've been a "Slacker Blogger" as someone from the Land of Baa-Baa-Black Sheep Eric would call it!
It have been on some kinda long hiatus gua, I reckon x) sorreee.

I was really just a tad busy and because I wouldn't be able to finish a whole post, so I save & save AND Save, LOOK! now I have 108 Drafts?

Haha there's 2 things about this blog that I would go "Hai-ya-ya" about:

One! It's so Messyyy !
Two! BabyVv is like ahhhhhhhh!! Grow up larh Vienna ! U think ur the cutesy-3-year-old baby girl who goes around screaming "Ahh! mommy mommy,I love my Barbie-dolll~~~~! "
For your kind information, vienna didn't named her own blog, her friend did, who was a fanatic fan of Vannesa Hudgens aka BabyV. And so
the powerpuff girls
BabyVv was born!

Conclusion:
And SOO albeit the name sounded very cutesy & childish, it's not my fault!
SOO, I don't have to correct what's Wrong with it right?

Awesome logic, vienna!

Mommy provided me with a very well off education, as a kid.

Baccalaureate Speech 6/11/95

Speaking to you today marks a milestone in my life. I am 40 years old. 22 years ago, when I was in your seat, I never, ever thought I would be 40 years old.

The implications of being your speaker frightens me. For one thing, when a 40 year old geeser spoke at my baccalaureate ceremony, he was about the last person I'd believe. I have no intention of giving you the boring speech that you are dreading. This speech will be short, sweet, and not boring.

I am going to talk about hindsights today. Hindsights that I've accumulated in the 20 years from where you are to where I am. Don't blindly believe me. Don't take what I say as "truth." Just listen. Perhaps my experience can help you out a tiny bit.

I will present them ala David Letterman. Yes, 40-year old people can still stay up past 11.

#10: Live off your parents as long as possible.

When I spoke at this ceremony two years ago, this was the most popular hindsight-except from the point of view of the parents. Thus, I knew I was on the right track.

I was a diligent Oriental in high school and college. I took college-level classes and earned college-level credits. I rushed through college in 3 1/2 years. I never traveled or took time off because I thought it wouldn't prepare me for work and it would delay my graduation.

Frankly, I blew it.

You are going to work the rest of your lives, so don't be in a rush to start. Stretch out your college education. Now is the time to suck life into your lungs-before you have a mortgage, kids, and car payments.

Take whole semesters off to travel overseas. Take jobs and internships that pay less money or no money. Investigate your passions on your parent's nickel. Or dime. Or quarter. Or dollar. Your goal should be to extend college to at least six years.

Delay, as long as possible, the inevitable entry into the workplace and a lifetime of servitude to bozos who know less than you do, but who make more money. Also, you shouldn't deprive your parents of the pleasure of supporting you.

#9 Pursue joy, not happiness.

This is probably the hardest lesson of all to learn. It probably seems to you that the goal in life is to be "happy." Oh, you may be have sacrifice and study and work hard, but, by and large, happiness should be predictable.

Nice house. Nice car. Nice material things. Take my word for it, happiness is temporary and fleeting. Joy, by contrast, is unpredictable. It comes from pursing interests and passions that do not obviously result in happiness.

Pursuing joy, not happiness will translate into one thing over the next few years for you: Study what you love. This may also not be popular with parents. When I went to college, I was "marketing driven." It's also an Oriental thing.

I looked at what fields had the greatest job opportunities and prepared myself for them. This was brain dead. There are so many ways to make a living in the world, it doesn't matter that you've taken all the "right" courses. I don't think one person on the original Macintosh team had a classic "computer science" degree.

You parents have a responsibility in this area. Don't force your kids to follow in your footsteps or to live your dreams. My father was a senator in Hawaii. His dream was to be a lawyer, but he only had a high school education. He wanted me to be a lawyer.

For him, I went to law school. For me, I quit after two weeks. I view this a terrific validation of my inherent intelligence.

#8: Challenge the known and embrace the unknown.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make in life is to accept the known and resist the unknown. You should, in fact, do exactly the opposite: challenge the known and embrace the unknown.

Let me tell you a short story about ice. In the late 1800s there was a thriving ice industry in the Northeast. Companies would cut blocks of ice from frozen lakes and ponds and sell them around the world. The largest single shipment was 200 tons that was shipped to India. 100 tons got there unmelted, but this was enough to make a profit.

These ice harvesters, however, were put out of business by companies that invented mechanical ice makers. It was no longer necessary to cut and ship ice because companies could make it in any city during any season.

These ice makers, however, were put out of business by refrigerator companies. If it was convenient to make ice at a manufacturing plant, imagine how much better it was to make ice and create cold storage in everyone's home.

You would think that the ice harvesters would see the advantages of ice making and adopt this technology. However, all they could think about was the known: better saws, better storage, better transportation.

Then you would think that the ice makers would see the advantages of refrigerators and adopt this technology. The truth is that the ice harvesters couldn't embrace the unknown and jump their curve to the next curve.

Challenge the known and embrace the unknown, or you'll be like the ice harvester and ice makers.

#7: Learn to speak a foreign language, play a musical instrument, and play non-contact sports.

Learn a foreign language. I studied Latin in high school because I thought it would help me increase my vocabulary. It did, but trust me when I tell you it's very difficult to have a conversation in Latin today other than at the Vatican. And despite all my efforts, the Pope has yet to call for my advice. Learn to play a musical instrument. My only connection to music today is that I was named after Guy Lombardo. Trust me: it's better than being named after Guy's brother, Carmen. Playing a musical instrument could be with me now and stay with me forever. Instead, I have to buy CDs at Tower.

I played football. I loved football. Football is macho. I was a middle linebacker-arguably, one of the most macho position in a macho game. But you should also learn to play a non-contact sport like basketball or tennis. That is, a sport you can play when you're over the hill.

It will be as difficult when you're 40 to get twenty two guys together in a stadium to play football as it is to have a conversation in Latin, but all the people who wore cute, white tennis outfits can still play tennis. And all the macho football players are sitting around watching television and drinking beer.

#6: Continue to learn.

Learning is a process not an event. I thought learning would be over when I got my degree. It's not true. You should never stop learning. Indeed, it gets easier to learn once you're out of school because it's easier to see the relevance of why you need to learn.

You're learning in a structured, dedicated environment right now. On your parent's nickel. But don't confuse school and learning. You can go to school and not learn a thing. You can also learn a tremendous amount without school.

#5: Learn to like yourself or change yourself until you can like yourself.

I know a forty year old woman who was a drug addict. She is a mother of three. She traced the start of her drug addiction to smoking dope in high school.

I'm not going to lecture you about not taking drugs. Hey, I smoked dope in high school. Unlike Bill Clinton, I inhaled. Also unlike Bill Clinton, I exhaled.

This woman told me that she started taking drugs because she hated herself when she was sober. She did not like drugs so much as much as she hated herself. Drugs were not the cause though she thought they were the solution.

She turned her life around only after she realized that she was in a downward spiral. Fix your problem. Fix your life. Then you won't need to take drugs. Drugs are neither the solution nor the problem.

Frankly, smoking, drugs, alcohol-and using an IBM PC-are signs of stupidity. End of discussion.

#4: Don't get married too soon.

I got married when I was 32. That's about the right age. Until you're about that age, you may not know who you are. You also may not know who you're marrying.

I don't know one person who got married too late. I know many people who got married too young. If you do decide to get married, just keep in mind that you need to accept the person for what he or she is right now.

#3: Play to win and win to play.

Playing to win is one of the finest things you can do. It enables you to fulfill your potential. It enables you to improve the world and, conveniently, develop high expectations for everyone else too.

And what if you lose? Just make sure you lose while trying something grand. Avinash Dixit, an economics professor at Princeton, and Barry Nalebuff, an economics and management professor at the Yale School of Organization and Management, say it this way:

"If you are going to fail, you might as well fail at a difficult task. Failure causes others to downgrade their expectations of you in the future. The seriousness of this problem depends on what you attempt."

In its purest form, winning becomes a means, not an end, to improve yourself and your competition.

Winning is also a means to play again. The unexamined life may not be worth living, but the unlived life is not worth examining. The rewards of winning-money, power, satisfaction, and self-confidence-should not be squandered.

Thus, in addition to playing to win, you have a second, more important obligation: To compete again to the depth and breadth and height that your soul can reach. Ultimately, your greatest competition is yourself.

#2: Obey the absolutes.

Playing to win, however, does not mean playing dirty. As you grow older and older, you will find that things change from absolute to relative. When you were very young, it was absolutely wrong to lie, cheat, or steal.

As you get older, and particularly when you enter the workforce, you will be tempted by the "system" to think in relative terms. "I made more money." "I have a nicer car." "I went on a better vacation."

Worse, "I didn't cheat as much on my taxes as my partner." "I just have a few drinks. I don't take cocaine." "I don't pad my expense reports as much as others."

This is completely wrong. Preserve and obey the absolutes as much as you can. If you never lie, cheat, or steal, you will never have to remember who you lied to, how you cheated, and what you stole.

There absolutely are absolute rights and wrongs.

#1: Enjoy your family and friends before they are gone.

This is the most important hindsight. It doesn't need much explanation. I'll just repeat it: Enjoy your family and friends before they are gone.

Nothing-not money, power, or fame-can replace your family and friends or bring them back once they are gone. Our greatest joy has been our baby, and I predict that children will bring you the greatest joy in your lives-especially if they graduate from college in four years.

And now, I'm going to give you one extra hindsight because I've probably cost your parents thousands of dollars today. It's something that I hate to admit too.

By and large, the older you get, the more you're going to realize that your parents were right. More and more-until finally, you become your parents. I know you're all saying, "Yeah, right." Mark my words.

Remember these ten things: if just one of them helps you helps just one of you, this speech will have been a success:

#10: Live off your parents as long as possible.

#9 Pursue joy, not happiness.

#8: Challenge the known and embrace the unknown.

#7: Learn to speak a foreign language, play a musical instrument, and play non-contact sports.

#6: Continue to learn.

#5: Learn to like yourself or change yourself until you can like yourself.

#4: Don't get married too soon.

#3: Play to win and win to play.

#2: Obey the absolutes.

#1: Enjoy your family and friends before they are gone.

Congratulations on your graduation. Thank you very much.

Life

I was watching 'Cause you had a bad day music video on Channel V.

It strikes me that I'm smiling to it, so easily amused - happy.

It was then that it changes me.

It was 2004, in a Teen Dhamma Camp, when a silly 14 year old raise up her hands, walked out from her comfy zone in the crowd, stood in front of em all and asked the speaker her question- So What's the purpose of life? Why are we born into this world for?

Are we only here to live through our jovial childhood stage where every day is filled with joys & laughters;
then we listen to the teacher in class, attend tuitions, study for UPSR, then PMR, then SPM for the next 12 years;
daddy & mommy say study and get good results-'it's for ur own good' ;
then we realise that we study because we have to get good results, because we need it- the cert, the paper qualification, to prove that you're highly educated, to get a job;
we need a job, we work for the remaining 40 years of our life because we need money;
we need money because money buys you food, you need food because without it you'll be able to "make it",
Money pays the bill, money gets you a home, a place to keep you warm to shelter you from the unfavourable weather outside;
and money as they say, brings you happiness.

So I got it. That's why we have to drive ourselves to work in the future 14600 days to come, we repeat our routine daily, we work 9 to 5, we must complete our work, to risk the sack not, we try to outperform the rest, to clinch a higher & higher position each time in the company's hierarchy, we want a raise, because we need more money, without money we can't do a thing, we need it to sustain our life, and even more when we get kids and to support them, and they repeat the same life cycle as we do again.

We need to work, jobs are the ones that'll provide you money, the existence of jobs is due to human's needs & demands, and then another group of humans work to cater, to supply the needs. So, all of us are serving to maintain the economic cycle, so then from the economic cycle, we earn our money.

But then, why?

Life is uncertain; Death is certain.

Since at the end of the day, we're going to all die anyway, that day will come whether you accept it or not. It's only a matter of whether you get to live longer or you've got a shorter life span.

So,why are we doing all these, to prevent ourselves from dying. Why bother?
Is it very fun to spend some time here, and spend most of the time of our life working, to get some money, so we can sustain healthily till the time death ripes ?
What for?

There must be some purpose to life.

Ahh, im so full right now..

:P

Earlier today, i ate lotsa fruits. Lotsa PASSIONfruits & starfruits!

But they were really acidic.

So i decided that, the hunger was getting irresistible. And, A trip to the kitchen and fridge was compulsory.

I found some yummy cheesecakes.

I ate, and then i felt reallyreally full.

So i ate more Passionfruits & starfruits!


In short, in my attempt to strive for a heathier diet, it turns up to be an even more unhealthy diet.
ahahahahahaha, and then when i look back, voaw, this blogpost, doesn't make sense!



Perfectly imperfect!

Things that'll keep ya going on & hapWeeee!

See see, something for u guys!

HOPE Worldwide Malaysia Programs

Children's Program

We believe that children are the nation builder for our future generation. However, family from the hardcore poor often sacrificed the most important element, ie. children's education, by having their children to stop school to work in order to help the family to make ends meet. Hence we set up the School Sponsorship Program Funds to help children from the hardcore poor to complete their national school level and hopefully university. Currently 54 children are benefiting from our school sponsorship program since it started June 2003 with plans to increase by year end.

Besides that in 2006, we have set up an Activity Learning Program in Sentul (Clinic of HOPE worldwide) to provide under privilege kids an opportunity to learn new things to empower them with knowledge and skills such as craft, computer, music, watching movie and etc. All these activities are conducted by volunteers. It is held on every 3rd Saturday of the month from 2pm to 4.30pm and we welcome volunteers to contribute their talents in this area. Currently we have about 40-50 kids participating.

This year through our Activity Learning program, we are starting a Reading Program for the under privileged children from the urban poor in KL & Penang to learn reading in English with multimedia aid.

Health Programs

HOPE worldwide currently operates 2 free clinics and our modus operandi is Free consultation and medication:-

1. Clinic of HOPE in Sentul Kuala Lumpur – Since the opening of the clinic by the Former Health Minister, YAB Dato Chua Jui Meng, in 2000, the clinic have provided quality health care to over 9000 patients with over 30,000 patient visits with the help our group of dedicated health professionals. Currently, over 50 patients are receiving their regular medication for diabetes, asthma and heart related problems. (Operation time from Tuesday, Thursday & Alternate Saturday – 2nd & 4th Sat. Time from 10am to 5pm))

2. Penang Free Pediatric Clinic – A join partnership program with Berjaya Starbucks Coffee Sdn Bhd. It provides quality health care to children from the underprivileged Family. A total of 850 children are now receiving quality health care and medication for free through our 13 volunteered top pediatrician doctors from many recognized hospitals such as Penang Adventist Hospital, Penang General Hospital, Loh Guan Lai Hospital, Lam Wah Ee Hospital, Gleaneagle Hospital, Penang HOPE children's Hospital and Island Hospital.

While in Jan's car...

"Eyyy! Why got so many ppl in the padang wan?"

"Oh shyt, WAIT!! I KNOW THEM!!!" *blush*

After I walked through the garden themed Islet.. 

Then, there they are!

Each of them holding cardboards and many coloured love shaped hearts all over...

" Vienna...

Actually I wanted to tell you this very long already...."

[I was laughing like a mad cow, so I think hahaha i couldn't focus so much on what he said]

so he went like lalallalallalalalalalallaalalla~

Throwing out each and every very corny and well (a tadbit) touching lines! :D

then he went like

lalallalalaalalallallallalala... again..

" Can you accept me? "

And there goes a song dedication sang aloud together by all of them for me!

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.

[ I know they tweak the lyrics somewhere with Vitagens & Viennas xD But i was enjoying the moment so much! That i was singing along & laughing at the same time!

psst! Lemme secretly tell u something,I love this bunch of crazee ppl! :D ]
