Did you feel the earthquake?

About 7pm yesterday while my team and I were working on a meeting table, we suddenly felt the table moving and shaking. First I thought it was one of our mates trying to be funny. It lasted for a couple of minutes, maybe 5 minutes?

It did get a little bit stronger, so I looked up and started looking at all of them. Surprisingly everyone seemed to have the wondering look. That's when I realised maybe no one was fooling around.

I never experienced any earth tremor like this before, so having this as a first time was interesting. Apparently it was an earthquake with a 7.9 magnitude followed by a tsunami in Indonesia. More news HERE.

My prayers to the citizens of Indonesia in the town of Padang.

Personally, I think the will to care for another person will come naturally like the rainbow after a rainy day. I think inside us resides a little vault of emotions that entwines itself to form a chemistry of emotions that manifests itself as a plethora ...

Entrepreneurship....

Every now and then, some people make it big time in the business world either from, pioneering a fresh new business strategy to improving something that is thought to be already at it's best. Entrepreneurs can be found in virtually any part of this world. I guess, when you think about an entrepreneur in a global perspective, the first few people you might think of would be - William H. Gates who founded Microsoft, Steve Jobs who brought to us the iPod or even Warren Buffet arguably the best investor in THE world. Bring it down to a narrower perspective, the local scene - Tony Fernandes co-founder of AirAsia and Teh Hong Piow founder of Public Bank Berhad (equivalent to a PLC), and of course there are many more! I guess, there are times when we sit down and ponder, "how exactly did these people turn out to be who they are?". Were they born with such innate ability? Did they have parents that constantly gave them inspiration to be their own boss? Did they have a natural eye...

Early morning breakfast at a mamak store!

A quiet spot just outside the restaurant, cooling and comfortable. :) Mornings are a good time to have quiet time to just reflect on things and just let the mind relax before starting it off. Like any other Malaysian, food is of imperative importance! After all, can't let the mind work on an empty stomach now can we? Thosai Masala is definitely the way to go to start one's day off! Healthy food and plenty carbohydrate from the potato mix inside it. Hmmmmmm.......... mix your mouth all wait eh? affiliate program
