THE BRICK
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something As his car passed, no children appeared.
Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
The young boy was apologetic. "Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop....." With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother, "he said "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. "Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: "Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!" God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not.
Thought for the Day:
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!
Send this to every "beautiful person" you wish to bless.
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow,sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Read this line very slowly and let it sink in....
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Maybank Account Holder (Hoax)
Blogger at MindaCergas called Maybank about the following email and was informed it is a hoax.
================================================================================
Whoever has the Maybank account number with ATM card, please be careful when withdrawing money through ATM machine,
1. For the first time when you enter the right pin number, a message "invalid pin number" pops up.
2. Then, when you enter your pin number for the second time, a message "invalid pin number, please call this number "xxx-xxxx" pops up.
3. If you call this number, you will lose all your money.
NOTE : if you encounter the above matter, please DO NOT call the number. One of victim just lost RM 700.00 on last Sunday and Maybank checked his last transaction was on that day itself even though he did not withdraw any money. Please forward this to your friends.

English to be the official language of Europe
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as 'Euro-English'.
In the first year, 's' will replace the soft 'c'. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard 'c' will be dropped in favour of 'k'. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome 'ph' will be replaced with 'f'. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent 'e' in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as
replasing 'th' with 'z' and 'w' with 'v'.
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary 'o' kan be dropd from vords kontaining 'ou' and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl

Ladies Period Caution
It is usually very difficult to follow advices we received from the older generation when they do not have any reasons to provide for the "taboos" they share with us. "Do not wash your hair during your period", is one that every Asian girl must have heard of before.
Check the following message from a Taiwanese medical professor who is based in a Japanese university and specialises in cancer research and decide if it is an advise you should adhere to after all.
===============================================================================
It has been a traditional theory that ladies are not suppose to
wash their hair during their period.
But there are no solutions to the question why?
The victim will only realise at their later stage of their life,
facing the symptoms of breast and ovary cancer.
Today ladies still wash their hair during their period with the
thinking that they will be safe if they blow dry their hair.
But this will not prevent them from getting the cancer. Please read
the article below:
A well known Taiwanese medical professor specialise in cancer
research based in a Japanese university did a survey on 30,000 pre cancer
patients.
She found these patients are very choosy in their food, wash their
hair during their period and carry heavy object and drink cold drinks.
This will course the incomplete of ovulation and the remaining
menses will turn into toxic and the imbalance of hormone will lead to ovary and
breast cancer.
During the research she found the method of prevention to these
cancer.
The secrets are;
One must change their lifestyle and eating habits.
Do not wash our hair while having period, do not wash your hair just for
the cooling effect and contraction of ovary.
Excessive bleeding
must be investigated by a gynae.
No cold drinks.
If you feel drowsy, breast expansion and constipation, these are
the early
symptom of ovary or breast cancer.
To prevent use:
Black sugar
Chinese lotus (leng ngau)
Carrot and Barley
Boil to soup and drink. This is the best prevention.
p/s : Guys...please share this message with your wife & lady
friends....:)

Need a new wallet? Go find some duct tapes.
The Sungai Long Golf and Country Club has set up a new ruling so, we have to register our children for their own membership cards. My son is very excited about that and the first thing he asked for is a wallet to store his card.
Since it's the school holiday, let see if he is able to create his own wallet with the help of this video clip I have discovered.
If your children enjoy cutting and sticking, check out my posting at Can't draw? Can't sew? Can stick? for more sticky activities to fill up their school holiday.

Into survey? Try this.
I took a regional travel survey supported by Tourism Malaysia as it offers many exciting rewards including a chance to win a top prize trip to Hong Kong Disneyland for referring friends and family to take part.
I do not know if I will win but I know that I have gained 50 Pulse point as I have been accepted to be one of their official Planet Pulse panelists. That means that I will be receiving more paid survey invitations from them in the future.
I will update you on how I fare with this survey thingy in my next posting.
