Since young, I had been blessed with a natural layer of double insulation. To let my readers know how "thick" this insulation is, I will share this incident.
Recently, I chanced to try a massage chair at a road show. Since it was a smaller and simpler version and costing only $1200/- I decided to invest in one. (All the other massage chairs cost above $4000/-) I reckon that in the long run, it would save me more time and money. Morever, the chair comes with a complimentary eye massager too which I wanted to give to my beloved second brother Kee Seng whose vision has deteriorated a lot. The delivery man did not have the time to explain to me about the functions as he was behind schedule.
Hence when I tried the chair later in the evening, I was puzzled because I could not feel as if the rollers were massaging my back! The rollers were merely touching my back. I got up to check. I realised that there was a zipper which I pulled down to reveal the rollers. I tried without the padding and this time it worked! When my upline for the quantum pendant, Patricia Chew, came to my apartment, I asked her if she would like to have a massage. "Sure", Pat brightened up.
Pat felt that it was awfully painful even though I had put the intensity on the "low" button. I decided to put back the padding for her and she smiled, "Like that, good lah. Perfect!"
Only then did I realise how thick my "natural padding" is! Gosh! It is really time for me to shed some weight.... and I must put on greater effort.
On the bright side, my double insulation has enabled me to travel lighter. When I went to visit my eldest brother in Toronto in December, I did not bring any winter clothings. Brother brought some winter clothings for me at the airport, but he was shocked that I did not bother to put them on while walking out of the building to the car park! I remember how some passengers in the plane were worried that I was dressed only in cotton T shirts.!
When I went travelling in China, Taiwan and Israel during the winter months, I lent my jacket to the tour members who still felt cold. The Creator has given me extra "furs and blubber" in the form of F-A-T!! :-)

Saw Kim And Her Quantum Experience
I decided to bring back some quantum pendants to Penang to share with my relatives. My niece, Yann, wanted her father's health to improve. When my sister-in-law, Saw Kim, saw the quantum pendant, she immediately remarked, "Yes, I know about this some time ago. Last year, my hairdresser was promoting this product, which was selling like hot cakes, because many of her elderly customers had their aches and pain healed, and some had even gone off their regular medication for gout and rheumatism.
I let both my brother and his wife try the pendants. Brother was somewhat skeptical, and hence often had to be reminded to wear the pendant. But Saw Kim was enthusiastic, having heard of the testimonies. She was overjoyed when she shared that she was able to sleep very soundly in the hotel. Very often, she could not sleep when she was in a new place and had to take some sleeping tablets to induce sleep. As an excellent cook, she is the chef for all big dinner parties held at home. After cooking continuously for two days, she would suffer from back pain, but this time, the scalar pendant had dispelled the pain. To her surprise, she was still as energetic and agile as ever. My sister-in-law is in her sixties, and you should see her joy and excitement as she went around sharing about the goodness of the quantum pendant!
After brother Kee Seng met up with my Group Leader, Patricia, he was more convinced about the workings of the quantum pendant. After reading "Optimum Energy for Peak Performance with Scalar Energy" by Dr. Siva Poobalasingam, brother was able to understand why the little pendant is so powerful. Since then, I no longer had to remind him to wear the pendant.!
What a wonderful and awesome Creator we have! His creation is so marevellous and great! Yet it takes faith for people to believe that He exists, and that a small quantum science pendant can actually generate so much energy!

Sorry - a simple five letter word yet......
As the luxury coach reached the Beach Road Bus Terminal, I thanked the bus drivers for having driven the bus safely all the way from Penang. I had felt so happy with the swift clearance at Tuas Immigration, and my heart swelled with pride as the bus made its way along first class highways lined with miles of greenery. I always look forward to coming home after each trip overseas.
I was able to arrive home on time to make it to the 9.45 a.m. church service nearby. After the service, I went to my favourite store to get my morning papers. I was dismayed when I read the headlines of the New Paper, "First, trishaw uncle. Now.... Tissue aunty mocked over her jingle." But she says, "never mind". Who's laughing at her?" It appeared that five groups of youngsters have made video clips making fun of her and the song, and put them on the internet. The clips have drawn furious responses from other netizens.
Notice the response and defense of the youngsters.? They claimed that the video clip was never about mocking anyone. Likewise the three Britons who also claimed that they were just having fun, and not mocking the trishaw uncle.
Are our youngsters of today so lacking in ideas and creativity that they have to mimic and make fun at the expense of others? Could they not modify the idea and come up with perhaps selling another item and coming up with their own theme song? That would indeed be called creativity! For example, they could pretend to be staff of the Singapore Tourism Board, and think of how they would help to promote tourism. Perhaps, they can come up with an attractive advertisement and theme song?
In fact I have met Madam Neo a few times and even commended her on her powerful voice which could be heard far away. I had been touched that she would take the trouble to print a scriptural verse from the Bible and stick it onto every packet of tissue paper. It is her way of promoting God's love. Despite her disability and hard life, she is always cheerful and optimisitc. She brushed off these imitators, and even said, "I'm happy they can have some fun out of this. If there's a chance, I hope to be able to hear their versions." I would like to think these youngsters did not mean to be cruel, but they are definitely insensitive.
"Sorry" - a simple five letter word, yet one which seems to be sparingly used. Our S.M. Lee has been encouraging Singaporeans to be more gracious. I guess the first step towards this, is for all of us to be quick to say sorry when the occasion calls for it. We all go through life, realising that we make mistakes during our moments of carelessness and thoughtlessness. The simple five letter word is like a balm that soothes in our daily interaction and relationship with one another. When we sincerely apologise for our wrongdoings, the little word of sorry works like magic. It breaks down barriers of anger, pride, frustration and builds and restores forgiveness, goodwill and generosity
We must always try to put ourselves in the shoes of others, so that we can try to feel as they feel. I thank God I am not wheel chair bound, and every time I see Madam Neo, I purposely buy some tissue papers from her by way of encouragement.
Perhaps the above publicity could be a blessing in disguise. I hope Madam Neo will have more brisk sales and more people will be encouraged by her quiet strength, cheerfulness and optimism.
