Blood donation@Brickfield

A friend of mine (Christine) was invited me to the Brickfield temple this morning and we planned to go to the temple in the afternoon. So we were there around 2pm. The first thing that come into my mind is "Blood Donation". I remember the first time when I do blood donation was about 8 Years back during my college time and the first time I did blood donation was with a very special person who are staying in Melbourne now. What a memorable memories!

Talking back about the blood donation campaign, I remembered I was rejected few things when I was willingly offered my blood to the bank blood. The reasons are very simple:
* Underage
* Blood not enough of IRON
* Low blood pressure

Hence, that shows I am a person who have difficulty to donate blood. Till this morning, I do not have any intention of donating blood until a friend of my message me to go to the Temple. First thing that came into my mind was "How many hours did I slept yesterday?"... hmmm... good question huh? I slept @ 12.30am and woke up @8am. Based on the calculation, I just passed the first important requirement which is above the requirement 7.30 hours. Hoho!!

When I was in the queue of donating blood, I was asked to filled up some questionnaires about my health condition and I found that I AM HEALTHY and NORMAL! Hurray! Once I had finished the questionnaires, I was asked to go to another queue to test out my blood type. A man who are not a doctor started used a small device and punch on my finger. Ouch! It was really pain but not that pain and my blood start pinching out from my finger. He then used a small sucker to sucked up the blood from my finger and placed it on a board that mixed with sort of a chemical to see which blood group I am belonging to. But I am not gonna announce it here tho :P

After a while, he started to take another sucker to sucked up my blood in the second round. Then he put a drop of my blood into a glass of a blue chemical to see whether my blood will sink or float. This is identify whether my blood contains sufficient IRON or not. However, my blood was floated on the surface but it slowly sinked to the bottom which indicates that it's hard to identify the level of IRON that contained in my blood. Hence, he started to used a machine to test on my blood. Based on his statement, the IRON level must at least reach 12.50 in order to be on eligible blood donator. Phew! I got 12.70 which is just nice to be eligible. Thanks god of no rejection this time!

Ok, once I have passed the first level, I was again asked to seek for the duty doctor for another questionnaires session. The doctor that I met is quite "fierce" and "strict". The reason of seeing this doctor is to identify the amount of blood that I can donate. After the questionnaire session, the amount of blood that I can donate is 450 CC. Good enough! Or else I will fainted down if I am ask to give more!

Here is the picture that Christine taken during the blood donation:

We spent about 2 hours in the temple and it was very very crowded. I am happy that I have made different to the world today.

Happy Wesak day!

The Mastery Training experience

I started the mastery journey on May 15, 2008 @ 7pm. Before I walked in to the training room, I was always wondering and asked myself what is this Mastery about? Heh, funny ya? Paid thousand plus Ringgit and do not what's course about. I remembered, on the training day itself, I was excited about it and counting time to go after the office hour... OMG, the first day was bloody rush as I was attending a technical training which provided by my Boss. I was counting the time and setting up my alarm to go before the technical training was about to finished. Once it has finished, I immediately rush out from the room and grapped my bag then leave the office in RUSH! Phew, luckily I managed to make it and no regret of being rush as I wasn't the only one who were late. When I reached the training center, I was informed to filled up the Health Questionnaire before having my name tag (which I am going to show later) from the other counter. My mind wasn't calm and I missed out quite alot of people that I knew and forget to give them a HUG!! Forgive me for those who I missed out!

Because of the prayer session, our training had postponed to 7.50pm (if I am not mistaken). The door was open 5 minutes before the training started... so I reached there at 6.50pm and waited till 7.50pm. Hence, that proved me that I wasn't late on the first day! Woohoo!! How proud!

Let's start a little bit of my story here. My trainer is called Jim with his name called Jim Cook. Yeah, I never met him before until this training. When I walked in the room and people were looking for their sits before the training started. Ok before that, I met back my our Leadership Program members and it's really nice to see one of my friend who work and stay in Brisbane in the this training. His name is Micheal and I am glad to have him to walk through together in this mastery journey. Welcome back Micheal!

The training started with a song called "It's In Every One Of Us". At first I feel nothing about this song until they played it again and again and again and again. Oh gosh! I started to felt that this is really a long song that I ever listen and they played this song for 4 days. My Pig start telling me that "This song sucks!!". But after they played it over and over again, I realize that the song is actually represent us. Yeah , everyone of us!

However, during the mastery journey , the first few days was kind of bored and confusing as I get to know most of the description, definition and meaning of "Nothing". Yes, I need to understand the meaning of "Nothing". Surprise me, it's Nothing. Is this course about "Nothing"? Don't ask me! Experience yourself then you will know what is the meaning of "Nothing". I learnt about "Experience", I learnt about the truth meaning of "Feeling" and "Responsibility" and I learnt about "I don't know" and "I don't know". I know that this might sounds very weird and "jargon" to some of my blog reader but yeah, there are simple word with special definition in life.

Till the third day of the training, I was asked " Who am I".. Gosh, this is the best questions that most of the people do not ask themselves. I have been drilling myself to answer this question till I wanted to vomit during the process of answering this question. The best experience that I ever had. I also learnt about elements of some other stuff during the Mastery course and those are really some powerful stuff that can apply to my life. No regret of knowing those!

During this Journey, I experienced sort of the "Self Realization" in the sense that I know why I am what I am right now and I experience why I am what I am. Hard ya? Hm...that's mastery.
Slowly to the third day of the mastery, I was introduced something called "Pig" which something that I always have them without any realization. It's PIG!!!! Damn it! It looks cute but dangerous! I would rather ride them than they ride on me! Fuck off PIG! But I have 2 now with me which given by 2 of my beloved friends. No worry, I will show them to your guys later on :) Stay tuned!

One of the exercise was a breakthrough for me and after third night, I had a very calm and peaceful sleep. I had a very nice dream and I just don't know how to tell you the feeling of letting go all the stones behind. I started to let go those grungies that I had on my relationships and career. I smiled when during my dream. When I wake up, I had an experience which is out of my expectation. For those who heard my sharing during the training should know what I am talking about here.....

I know that we don't feed people except feeding ourself most of the time but this mastery is kind of weird where I got a chance to allow people to feed me. And then I got the chance to feed people. At that moment, I felt that I am the fullest person in the world. The full isn't the meaning of eating full but full of loves and cares around me and I am fulfilling! Oh my god! I seriously love you guys!

Talking about this journey, there are some people who I will always remember them in my heart. They are "Micheal, Marcus, Keng Yee, Stephenie from Holland, Sin Hwi,Chris, Aduq, EK, Kanishka from India, Rany from Indonesia, Ching Sia, Doreen, Cynthia, Kay, Kathy, Kayla and some others in MM26." Ok guys, I don't care enough to remember your name, so forgive me ya~ They are really great and it's my pleasure to meet this people and I love them. You guys will be always in my heart! Some of them have a big PIG and some of them have small! So guys, throw it away!

What I have learnt from this course is to let go everything which is unnecessary so that I can take a stand to fill up more others to have more stuff that I wish to have! Appreciate,accept and have what I have with no regrets and blame. Work according to the flow is the biggest challenge for me right now!

Specially, I would like to thanks to EK, Stephanie, Micheal and Marcus for giving a stand to be with me during this journey and Jim the coach, Matt Voo the co-ordinator of the training, Melissa, Timmy and Olivia for giving a stand to support each of the single trainee during the Mastery course. You guys are rock and I will always remember!

OK, after all my story and experience now it is the time to show the photos:

Karaoke Session with best friends

Last weekend, I went to CERIA BOX Karaoke with few of my best friends. We went on saturday night and got a big surprise when a police suddenly knocked at our door and say "Saya Police, check I.C..keluar keluar ...pergi depan.. pergi depan". Of course, we didn't get panic or freak out as 4 of us were wearing the like a nerd and look so innocent on that night.

With the frustrated mood, one of my friend Pauline got impatiently and approached to a police woman to ask for the police identification. The bravest thing that she did is she asked the police woman "Are you really a police?" while the police woman was busy jotting down the collected I.C number. She really didn't know the word of "Death" yet at the moment. Ha..ha.... *Solute to Miss Pauline*

On that night, we have paid for 2 hours session but due to the time been dragged during the song selection and ding and dong here and there, we decided to extend another hour for our session. Too bad the police interrupted us in the middle of that hour and caused the business early closed on that night.

The another thing that my friend Miss Pauline did was.... she went to the receptionist to ask for the extra hour refund. But unfortunately, they didn't refund us with cash instead of giving us an official receipt that stated "Free One Hour" for the next session. Meaning that we will get an hour free when we go back next time. That is not the funny part yet. The funniest part is , since the receipt is not an official receipt, my friend Pauline asked the receptionist "Ini Resit Valid ker?". LOL!!! The receptionist quickly gave her a company chop on the receipt just to make it look valid. Another *solute to her*

With that additional one hour free, my friend Suzanne who are smart and efficient has immediately planned for the another session which is the next day of it. Also, check out how she parked her beautiful car:

I am happy that I experienced the police "SAPU" (raid) session on last Saturday. Pray god that NO NEXT TIME! I am happy to see how Christine sang the Linkin Park song with full of passions as well as the 3 beautiful ladies who sang the Japanese song without knowing the meaning of it..... so happy....hope to have another same session again in the near future.

An old friend of mine

Recently, I was talking with a friend of mine who I knew for almost 4 years. He is no longer the one that I knew him last time anymore. He is much more influential, strong with his belief and confident with his decision now. Maybe he is right, I have been trapped in the dramatic world and defeating myself from who I am. Maybe what he say is right too that the more I need something, the more doubts I can think of. Maybe I need time to calm down and review back what have been missing and what do I need from now. I need to go back to the 4 basic steps: Stop->Look->Choose->Action!

Wonderful Saturday

Last Saturday night, I attended one of my best friend's house warming party and it was really great seeing some of my primary, secondary and college mates after few years away from school+ college! What have I bought for my friend? After going to few shopping center with my mum, at last I decided to get her a mini stand fan with Khind brand! Initially, Christine and I was thought of buying her a Red Wine but because of some reason, we had changed our mind.

When I was @ my friend's house together with some of my friends around, I saw something which is uncommon where last time we used to learnt and do everything the same thing @ school but somehow after each of us has blended in the world of the society, our career path are different, our thoughts are different, our life goal and visions are different now! How special it is and now I fully understand what my mum have told before that 10 fingers has long and short. Meaning that each of us has our own different characteristic :)

After the house warming party, I travel to my sister's college along the way from KL to Nilai with few of my best friends. That journey was really a great journey. We talked about those memories that we had during school time, we shared about the life journey that we are going through right now...and of course some arguments and debates in the my car which is interesting one!

Sad to say that I didn't manage to capture any photos this time but I am sure I will definitely show something interesting in the next blog.

Overall, I am very happy to meet them back and looking forward to see the others in the near future.

~Adios~
