[Video] Aquatic Animals and Pets

This video shows the various pets for sale like dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots, hamsters, mice, an albino Burmese python, tarantulas, bearded dragon pet lizards, various fresh water and sea water fishes, Arowana fish, and pet accessories. Normally, photo taking is Not allowed. But since my friend is a regular customer there, I had the opportunity to take this video for posterity and also indirectly an advertisement for Chew Thean Yeang Aquatic and Pet company.

There's a rare white albino Python for sale as a pet too! Fancy this! In retrospect, I love watching the various fishes swimming, like the Japanese Koi carp, Golden Arowana for "huat" or prosperity, gold fishes and many more. The baby rabbits were so cute to look, but they have small claws, bear this in mind, when carrying them by holding the furry body. Hamsters are easier to upkeep due to its size.

I used to own a hamster called "Hammy" back then, during my student days in the varsity. It was a gift from second sis who was studying in NUS at that point in time. Now she's married and lectures in a UK university, armed with a PhD or doctor of Philosophy, in English Literature. Being a banana, or "Chinese outside but English inside", she loves staying and had gotten herself settled down in the U.K.

Second sis had worked for 5 years as the the head of English Business department in Suzhou, China. She voluntarily resigned to pursue her PhD. In fact, her boss wanted to increase her salary to entice her to stay on, but she had already made up her mind.

Do you like the Instagram picture above? I love "Good Morning" pictures from my various Whatsapp groups and post here for posterity. Incidentally, I also happened to be chosen for Blog Meets Brand ambassador for the first time for Saje Flow. He's of Asian descent living in the US and is a motivational speaker as well as a Youtuber. Apparently he loves dancing and talking, motivating his viewers and sponsee, like yours truly, to create videos and to post on the various social media.

Below is a TikTok video specially made for Saje Flow:-

This is the first time, I managed to add voice with background music to suit the requirements.

From 2021 onwards, I am going to hustle hard, save up as much as I can, and complete as many gigs as possible, while not forgetting to schedule self care daily. Thanks for the inspiration by Saje Flow. Check out:- https://members.dancingandlife.com/auth/register?afmc=7u 😍😎😁

Today is Christmas Eve!

Now, it's that time of the year again for a yuletide season and Jesus is the reason for the season! It's Christmas eve today. Tomorrow, we will treat the family to a simple Western lunch somewhere. Since it is still MCO here, in Malaysia, we did not go to Genting Highlands as we used to in every Christmas time. So, to stay safe, we decided to stay at home here in Penang. It's never boring for me, because I shall have sometime to do daily.

Below is my certificate of completing a Social Media Management course from Coursera that was sponsored by MDEC.

So, you see, my days are pretty preoccupied with online learning and marketing of Atomy while doing some homework for the test and quizes.

Below is a picture of my Maybank AMEX premier card for Tesco RM 50 voucher that arrived yesterday, in time for my Christmas shopping!

Finally, have a lovely Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas lunch with your loved ones and pamper them while they are still alive! Below is my final picture of Christmas Eve greeting with splendid message and composition.

Stay safe and stay at home, people. Always wear a mask when going out to public places.

Happy Sunday and Good Morning

Above is a Happy Sunday greeting taken from my Instagram. Tomorrow, I got MDEC zoom at 8:00am till 12:00noon, approximately. Last night, attended another Zoom on Atomy and this week is pretty tight. Furthermore, I have the online self-learning course by Coursera, sponsored by MDEC till end December. Today, went back home for a while to bring some food back for mum and sis. They were watching the Wesley Methodist Church online session together on zoom. If anyone wants to earn some money from clicking Likes on TikTok, etc. just call or text me at 01116694988. I have hired 2 gals to work for me; they are my virtual assistants.

Below is another Instagram picture on Good Morning for your eye candy.

Hope you like the red orchids as much as I do. Ok, stay safe and stay at home in this pandemic.

The Benefits of Working at Home

I have been working at home since February 2004. It certainly has its many benefits, especially in this Covid-19 pandemic. Now the Controled Movement Order will be implemented again due to the surge of Covid-19 cases almost all over Malaysia, including Penang. I try to stay at home as much as possible and only go out if necessary like dining at hawker centers. I guess I am still blessed, that I am able to still generate a little allowance here and there doing surveys, microjobs, and such.

It was shared in the Whatsapp group that someone committed suicide by driving his car into his workplace for being laid off after working there for 7 long years. This is tragic and should not have happened. May God bless his departed soul.

Now I have 2-3 opportunities to make money from home which is free to start and if you are interested, just call or Whatsapp me at 0111-6694988. This is only for Malaysians. Jobs are scarce now and more are getting the golden handshake or rather being laid off. My income is also affected, even though I am still being employed, because projects are less now and owners are finding excuses to make the last payment, as usual!

Below is a nice Good Morning on a Saturday instagram picture taken from my account.

Finally, stay safe and stay at home. Always wear a mask when you are outside.

Completed a Web Development Course on Client Side Today

This morning, I completed a Web Development Course by Coursera, that was sponsored by MDEC for the jobless or unemployed graduates in IT. I took about 2-3 hours to complete the assignment for the final project before submission. There were 6 modules of several videos to follow. Each module is supposed to take 1 week to complete.

Below are my grades for the total quiz and assignments.

So, my overall score was 91%. Here, I learnt the basics to HTML5, CSS and Javascript. I will next proceed to Facebook Marketing and then Full Stack Development if time permits, as I have until end of the year to learnt up the many courses available on Coursera. The web development was taught by a software engineer and a Computer Science professor of University of California. The good thing about this is that I can learn at my own pace and convenience. Applied knowledge is power.

Above is a lovely picture from my Instagram of a painting by David Hockney. It was Whatsapp to me by my second sister who is lecturing English in a UK University together with her hubby. Both of them have doctorates, Ph.D. in their respective fields. That's it for this blog post. Stay safe and stay at home.

On Site Visit and Traveling along Penang Second Bridge

I followed my business partner to Butterworth recently for an on-site visit and thereafter, we went back via Penang second bridge. This bridge is much longer and more curvy compared to the first one that was straight with more views of the seas. We also passed by several MNCs or factories in Bayan Lepas, the Silicon Valley of Penang. It is an area that has many factories which manufactures high tech gadgets, semi-conductors, silicon chip, and more. Examples are Plexus, Intel, Agilent, and such.

I am also a little tired from all the online work at home using my laptop and smartphone. This morning, I am feeling a little groggy, even though I slept early last night, and forgot to bathe since I overslept. Anyway, in this Covid-19 pandemic, it is better to live one day at a time and count our blessings of being alive with God's grace.

In the USA, more than 220,000 Americans have passed on due to Covid-19. I hope and pray that this situation will be controlled. I had also watched a video of how people are leaving New York City in droves due to money being channeled to other departments and no longer to the NY police department and rubbish removal department. This is simply absurd. Prisoners are freed and rubbish uncollected due to no income from the Federal Government.

On a positive note, see my "Good Morning" Instagram picture below:

See how pretty the graphics are in the aforementioned picture. I take pride in uploaded lovely pictures from my Instagram account. This is certainly uplifting and encouraging to view, instead of watch negative news of the world on Astro tv.
