Lunch at Sakae Sushi and 10.10.2020 Date Today on a Saturday

We had lunch at Sakae Sushi a few days ago in 1st Avenue Mall, Penang. Previously there were 4-6 cooks or chefs busy preparing food before the pandemic. Now it is reduced to just 2 cooks/ chefs and just 1 waiter. Apparently the previous staffs were all retrenched and Sakae Sushi hired new people at a lower rate. So, in total, there were just a mere 3 staffs manning the restaurant.

I also called up my real estate agent who sold me my KL unit at the highest price of $293k before GST was implement to soften the property sector, as the prices were skyrocketing. Now it is worth a mere $260k at market rate, and you will be lucky if you can sell it at this period of Covid-19, where thousands were displaced from their jobs and unemployment abounds. People will come view the property, but won't buy, according to my real estate agent. They will give valid reasons of lost of jobs or increase of Covid-19, hence, it is better to rent than buy.

Below is a nice banner taken from my account that I uploaded to show an auspicious date of 10102020 which will never come again.



Don't you find the above banner rather interesting? It is very attractively done against a black background with colors that stand out. Hence, this post during this auspicious date here of 10.10.2020 before the day - Saturday - is over in a couple of hours time at EST time here in Malaysia.

Here is another banner from my Instagram too and see the inspiring wordings.



The words are very meaningful in the banner above, especially in this pandemic of coronavirus, where so many people are confused, jobless and stressed out. I wish you all well and take care. Stay safe at home and don't go out if necessary.

Dim Sum and Fast Food in the Heart of Georgetown, Penang

I love dim sum and will indulge it myself once in a while with my spouse. By now you know that I have become a part-time Youtuber and upload personal videos almost daily for a better algorithmn.

Note that this food is not kosher or 'halal' as there is pork inside. But I certainly love the prawns like fried prawn with beancurd skin, prawn dumplings or 'har kau', prawn 'chee cheong fun' paired with shallots and sambal belacan, and more.

For this particular eatery, they sell dim sum, alcohol and Chinese fast food, which includes the various veggies, chicken, fish, etc. Just watch the video above and view it till the end.

As now it is 1:03 am in the wee hours of the dawn, morning, I have included a nice Instagram picture below from my account.



Don't you find the blue geranium flowers lovely in the photo above? I don't think they are cheap either and are quite rare. They are seldom used in the decorations of flower bouquets in the lobby of hotels and such.

Anyway, in this pandemic, do stay safe and wear your mask at all time when you are in public places. Heard from the news yesterday, that our Donald Trump tested positive for Covid-19! So, don't gamble with your life and think freedom is more important than this pandemic, by not wearing your mask.

Leia, the Pom, takes a Bath

Leia is a cute dog which is very emotionally attached to my partner, the true owner, since he cleans her pee and poo pen daily, and bathes her. Well, she comes to me now and then for petting and massaging. I am the one who also have to pick up her fur balls dropped all over the floor. Poms shed extra fur and they are all over the place, where ever they go.

Stay at Flamingo Hotel and a Always Wear Your Mask in This Covid-19 and in the Lift

This shows our last minute change of plans from travelling to Terengganu for a meeting to an unplanned stay in Flamingo Hotel, Penang for a night. The director couldn't make it at the last minute while we were travelling on Penang Bridge and luckily it was just the start of the long journey by road. Well, it is unfortunate that our plane fare booked via Malindo Air website had to be exchanged to travel vouchers instead of returning us the money. This cost the company about $1.7k for a return flight for 2 pax. We also had to cancel our booking that is non-refundable via Agoda.com and lost $500 thereabout for 2 nights in Grand Continental.

To be frank, it was rather stressful, having prepared the PowerPoint slides show presentation and tidy up the bits and pieces to encounter this 11th hour change. I can only pray to our Heavenly Father to help us out in this predicament; who sees a helicopter view of what's actually happening. Anyway, I created another humorous video below to de-stress, with a lesson of always putting on your mask especially in the lift and in this covid-19 pandemic, so as not to spread any virus nor contract it.

Today is the first of September and I am grateful for the blessings that come, no matter what, especially in this mayhem caused by the virus that has wrecked global economy and speed up recession worldwide. This video above is a MUST SEE, as it is so funny watching it repeatedly. It certainly relates to most of us, especially for those staying in highrise or condominiums and apartments with lifts.

Yesterday was our National Day on 31st August in Malaysia.

Above is a lovely "Good Morning" and "Happy Tuesday" Instagram pictures from my account. I will occasionally post these beautiful pictures for posterity on my Instagram and look through them as a reminder of the times that pass by.

Below is another Instagram picture. Enjoy!

My Working Trip in Langkawi in 1998

This was my working-cum-holiday trip to Langkawi in 1998. Yes, 2 years before this Covid-19 pandemic. That is why you don't see me wearing a mask then. Those were the carefree days from this virus outbreak.

There were scenic shots till the end, you will see the various panoramic landscapes of the beautiful, untouched island of Langkawi,with many duty free items for sale like liquor, chocolates, batik, perfumes, floral cutleries, and many other high-end items.

There are many activities to do in Langkawi, such as, island hopping by boat, snorkelling, take a short helicopter ride who get a bird's eye view of Cenang Beach Bay, see the beautiful sunset by the horizon on a yatch, visiting many places of tourists' attractions, and more.

This little island is jam-packed with tourism industry. There are many cashew nuts, pistachios, and chocolates that you cannot find in the usual malls of other parts of Malaysia.

This is what makes Langkawi so special where tourist from locals and foreign countries flock here and patronise the restaurants, shopping malls, etc. There are enough bad news flying around the media worldwide and even locally. Hence, I shall dwell the carefree days then to stay happy and cheerful.

Sometimes, we all need a break from the monotony of work and work and blogging is my passion. Simply because I can pen my thoughts freely, without anyone telling me what to write and such. There is this freedom that you get to enjoy as you blog your musings and also rants. Okay, stay safe and practise social distancing, everyone.

As today is a Monday, the first day of the week, I would like to cheer us up with the lovely yellow themed picture from my Instagram account.

The 6 Benefits of Working at Home Promoting Atomy, an Online Shopping Mall

I have also attended several sessions of Atomy already for TTT - Train the trainers with the best speakers to talk on their experience with the product and wonderful platform where Atomy is a righteous business. It is not money game, MLM or pyramid scheme. It is direct selling via its online shopping mall that only sells Atomy products for the 95% masses with prestigious products and therefore the term "masstige" was coined. There are no endorsement fees, not advertisement fees and no models to pay for awareness of Atomy. It is all by word-of-mouth from one consumer to the next. It is an amalgation of 2 words: masses and prestige. In the corporate sector, it is dog eat dog world, to climb to the top.

And that is why many people choose to become their own bosses, instead of working for others where you scratch my back, and I scratch yours. Or you teach me and I take credit for your work and climb the corporate ladder, which is why everyone is selfish. However, in this Atomy system, you might ask, "What Makes Atomy Stand Out?" It is the culture that is based on Christian principles to share which is a blessing to others, especially when it will benefit them and fire their dreams. Atomy is GSGS - Global Sourcing and Global Sales. It is also ABC - Advisor, Branch, Consumer where you are the branch between the Advisor and the Consumer that you recruit.

OK, I shall call it a night for now and till the next post, Good night! or rather, Good Morning!

Where to Find Affordable, Delicious Nasi Lemak and The Business of Doing Atomy

This shows how to get to Kampung Melayu in Air Itam to get your affordable and yummy nasi lemak in Penang. Let the video speaks for itself. My main gist of the blog post is mainly on doing Atomy as a sideline business. This morning I spent almost an hour to watch President Park, the head honcho speak on Youtube and thereafter, there was Hokkien session on TTT - which means Train The Trainer in Hokkien which turned out to be in English, by Diamond Master CT Chan and his team. My Sales Master, Mr Ben put me in so many Atomy WhatsApp groups like English, Hokkien and Malay. There are a total of 10 Whatsapp groups that I became a member of. I was pleasantly surprised there are so many groups. I am thankful to my upline, Rajan Baliah, who introduced Atomy the proper way to me.

After the Zoom session, there it was the Tanjung Aspira, if I am not wrong, Facebook life sessions on certain products like paper Face mask soaked in essense and the more expensive gel face mask. The girls also showed how to create foam from the Atomy Facial Cleanser and introduced Arabica beans coffee that are kidney shaped with zig-zag line in the center. As opposed to Robusta beans that are bitter and round and machine-picked, it is cheaper compared to Arabica beans that are hand-picked.

Several things I learnt from President Park is that to have humility to serve people, especially the 95% masses that are poorer compared to the top 5%. This is what Atomy is all about. Also he shared that if a pipeline is small but gushes out water, as compared to a bigger pipeline that drips water, it is better to be the smaller pipeline, as slow and steady wins the race; as in the turtle and rabbit analysis.

President Park who is also a Christian, also shared that people with questionble credit are the ones who will most likely succeed in this business, possible as they don't have many options. He also quoted from the scriptures, "Those who exalt themselves, will be humbled; and those who humble themselves will be exalted."

Now Atomy has many products that are Halal and received Super Brands Award from the Government. This is a testament to the quality of the product for the masses with prestigious materials >> therefore it was coined the term, "masstige." Hence, the masses can enjoy prestigous products at affordable prices. For the last 10 years, the prices remained the same and they did not increase at all; instead more ingredients were added to them for more value. Now, where in this world can you find network marketing that is so good with absolute price and absolute quality?

It is 12:50am here and I shall end this blog post to say that I am privileged to join as a member of Atomy. I really need Atomy, and not the other way round. LOL
