Family surname - keep it on~~!

The importance of our surname.

I mean, really surname from ancestors.
How many races in this world will keep their surname up to ancestors...?
Up to their great great great great great grandfather?

A few did.
I know Chinese did...
Mat Salleh did ...

Others only keep until the father's name.

I am not being racist here.
Why it is so important to keep the family surname like Chinese or Mat Salleh?

Please tell me,
What happen if close relatives get married?

They will give birth to abnormal child right?

So, when we keep our ancestor's surname,
it is also keeping the genetic line~~!!

In the Chinese practise,
same surname cannot get married!

Because same surname means they might carry the same genetic line.
Too close genetic line get married, what will happen?
That's right, might give birth to abnormal child~~!!

So, it is not being male-chauvinist for Chinese to keep their surname...
It is also not "old-fashion" to share the same surname as their great great great great grandfather.
It is a very scientific practice indeed!

Another thing is,
In the Chinese practice,
Only boy can continue the surname.
Meaning, when a boy get married,
his children has to follow his surname, and not to follow his wife's surname.
Why?

Because,
most of the genetic diseases will be inherited by male gen only~~!!

You see,
Male will get colour-blind from the father.
Male will get heart-disease from the father.
Whereas daughter hardly get all these inheritance-diseases.

If the Chinese really follow the rules of same surname do not get married, the chances of giving birth to abnormal child is very very low.
(I am sorry that I only mention about Chinese, because I only know the Chinese culture. If you know others' culture that have the similar practise, please share with us here.)

Wow~!
Isn't that the family surname system is incredible?

This is just my own theory.
I didn't really conduct a research to prove this hypothesis.
If you happen to read somewhere, that say the same thing, please please please let us know.
I really hope that the scientist will use surname system as one of the method to trace the genetic line.

I am sort of sad when the China government set the rules that every couple in China can only have one child.
This may cause the surname system to go haywire.
Because some couples started to let the child follow the mother's surname.

Maybe we have lost the scientific knowledge of this surname system after a few generation.
People only think that why Chinese so old fashion.
Only boy can carry the family surname.
So male chauvinist...

As a scientist, before we decline or reject some old traditions or believes,
we must think of the reason behind it first.
And not to simply discard it.

Find out the reason why the traditions or the cultures were formed.
There must be a reason.
And the reason must be good enough that enable the tradition or culture to continue for so long.

Chinese culture has got at least 5000 years of history.
It has come a long way.
And China is one of the countries that has the longest recorded civilization history.
Meaning, when they formed all these cultures, they were already a civilized people.
A civilized people will not simply create nonsense to ask people to follow right?

So, if you are a Chinese, I hope you will respect your culture.
Let's keep the good culture moving on!

Immortal life

Hey~~!

Have you watched this show?

"The Mummy 3"

Haha.... I know it's a bit late to ask this question as the show was so 'long' ago...

But maybe you missed the show?

And missed my handsome idol who acted as the Shi Huangdi?

Since very very long time ago, people had been looking for immortal life.

Hoping that they will not die.
Hoping that they can live forever...

It's believed that the Egyptian mummified their Kings' and Queens' body is because:
They believe that their Kings or Queens will be alive again and rule them one day~~!!

We can see a lot of natural preserved dead body especially from religious people.

For example:
1. The most famous Thai mummified monk, Loung Pordaeng's body is still here after 20 over years from his death!

2. The body of St. Clare, who passed away in 1253, is still on display in the Bsilica di Santa Chiara Church in Assisi, Italy.

The scientists did researches on this body and found that she might be wearing a wax mask. Of course the scientists cannot simply open the glass and scrap her face to check whether it is really just wax. Who want to be responsible if the body rot after the glass is opened? Right?

3. This is the body of the famous San Padre Pio, who had stigma and passed away in 1968. His body is still on display in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy~~!!

4. This is the exhumed body of the Khambo Lama, who passed away in 1927, still in the lotus position in a Buddhist monastery in Siberia.

People dying to have long life.
People dying not to die.

If given that you have a long life, what do you want to do?
Benefit the human being?
Or just enjoy your life?

Will you want a long life?

Science vs. Supernatural

Do scientists believe in supernatural, like ghost, spirits, and psychic?

I am a person that is very into physics.
I can say that I am a very 'science'-minded person.

But, I believe in ghost, spirits, and psychic.
First of all, because I can see ghost since small.
Secondly, scientists do believe in ghosts, spirits, and psychic!!!

Just turn on your ASTRO channel 553 every saturday, 11pm.
You can see a programme called:
"A Haunting"
by NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY.

It talks about all the haunted houses in America.
So many paranormal investigators take their frequency-detector to detect the changes of frequency in the haunted house, and found out that there is really some differences in frequency at the haunted place.

Discovery Channel talked about Voo-Doo as well.

Whatever I wrote in my posts, or I chat about it in real life, are known fact.
Yes, known fact.
It's written in lots of scientific reports.
It's being talked about on so many TV programmes, scientific programmes and famous talk-shows.

I didn't create it myself.
I didn't dream it myself.
So many things can be explained in scientific terms.

To the religious people, they call it 'spirits'.
To the physicist, they call it 'frequency'.
To the neurologist, they call it 'brain activity'.

Different terms, but referring to the same thing.

Einstein said:
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

Now, do scientists believe in religion, in ghosts, in spirits, and in psychic?

That's how it works!!!

I was telling my students about people who can read with their eyes closed.

Some of my students find it hard to believe.

I told them Malaysia has got such training, but only for children who are 12 years old and below.
And KL alone has got a few centres that do all this type of brain development training.

I was curious to find out how the centre trains these children to be able to read with eyes closed
The children really can do it after being trained for one and a half day.
One and a half day only~~!!

Finally, I got the answer.
One of my student went for the training when he was 14.
His case is exceptional, that he can go at the age of 14.

He said,
the training started with listening session.
The centre will play a type of CD, which has strong frequency that will sort of like brain-wash the students.
I think it meant to 're-format' the brain, so that their conscious mind will be erase.
Subjective thinking will be erase.
Then they will start the learning all over again like a new empty cup.

After that they will be enhance with another CD.
That is like programming the brain with better frequency.
Thus, awakening their subconscious and inner strength.

The rest of the training will be practising on visualization.
Students have to visualize with their eyes closed.
Visualize that there is a light going into their third-eye (something like meditation yeah?!)
Amazingly, they will be able to read with their eyes closed after this two methods applied on them.
Whether they use their sense of touch or smell....
The other senses will be developed to take over the sense of vision.
So, they can "see" by feeling the paper.
Some can "see" by just smelling the paper!

Of course they have to practise always ...
My student didn't practise after the training, so the ability is like faded off now.

I believe adult also can be trained.

Share with me if you know any method.

I will also share with you more about this in my later posts.

Have a good day!

Practising REIKI

I went for a two days training course:
"REIKI Level 1 and Level 2"

So, I'm now a REIKI practitioner, an energy healer~~!!!
:) heh heh...

After I attended the course, then only I realized that there are so many things for me to explore. So many things that I still don't know~!
Just like the chinese saying: There is always another mountain taller than the one you are standing at.
It makes me humble and decided to explore more in these holistic knowledge.

We focused on the physical world so much, until we neglected the invisible dimensions.
Energy, wave, frequency ... all are invisible, but they do exist, and they can help us tremendously if we know how to utilise them~!

After learning REIKI, I really can feel energy with my two palms.
I learnt to call any energy to me, and feel it.
I learnt that we can make the energy surrounding us positive.
My REIKI teacher, Ms Susie, said she charge everything in her house with REIKI energy.

She charges her electrical items.
She charges her food with energy, so that the food she eats is healthy and full of energy.
She even charges her car battery! Both her cars' battery last for 4 years~~!!
That is real ... ...

I believe,
Jesus is the Master of REIKI, who did miracle healings and distance healing.
Mohammad, was also a REIKI master, performed miracle healings.
Sakyamurni, the great Buddha, was the Master of REIKI, done lots of healings, and even break the boundary of time and distance!

I'm practising REIKI everyday, hopefully can utilise the energy from the Universe and master it one day.

Do you have any healing request?
Let me know, let me try my REIKI to fulfill your healing request.
:)
Happy 2009!

Psychic~!

US is a very well developed country.
Its is one of the science leading countries.

But, I was still a bit shocked to see this on TV:

Psychic talking to the dead~~!
They also believe in psychic ability.
Believe in medium.
And talking to soul!

What do you know about psychic ability?

Hypnotise... What do you think?

When you first heard of the word
Hypnotise
What do you understand about it?
What reaction you have?
.
.
.
"Huh?! Hypnotise? Don't blur me and take away my money!!"

Right? Is this the impression you have on hypnosis?

Well, you may have to change your perception on hypnosis if it is so...

Hypnosis is not somebody took over your mind and control you.
Hypnosis is not falling asleep.
Hypnosis is not becoming unaware.
Hypnosis is not faint.
Hypnosis is not forget something for a moment.

You see,
Our brain is using beta waves all the time for mental activity.
Beta waves are also referred to those frequencies up to 100 hertz.
Thats mean hor, any sound that is 10 Hertz and above, we can hear.
Other wise, not that we cannot hear,
just that our conscious ear cannot hear.
But the sound that is smaller than 10 Hertz will still go inside our ear,
and perceive by our right brain.
(If you still remember my previous post about the different between left brain and right brain)

That is why, don't think that sound we cannot hear means not affecting us.

So, hypnotise is just making your left brain be able to communicate with your right brain.

Ok, now how we can talk to our right brain?
Most of the time we are at conscious stage, which is using beta wave.
We can only talk to our brain when we can tune our brain into alpha wave.

When our brain can be tuned to alpha wave?
Taking one example.
Let say you wanted to urinate so badly.
You tried to tahan the urine...not to let it flow out.
Because you cannot find toilet that time.

Then suddenly you found a toilet!
You quickly go inside.
And the moment you pull your pants down and release the water.
The "Ah~~~!!" moment..
Is the moment that your brain go into alpha wave.

So during that moment, if somebody tell you:
"You don't like smoking."
Then you can quit smoking just like that.
Because the message will go into your right brain without being filter by your left brain.

You can see how powerful our right brain is?
Of course it only perceive positive message.

Don't think that you talk to a person when he is urinating:
"Give me all your money!"
It won't work, cause the right brain only perceive positive message.
It knows that statement is harmful to it,
so it will not follow the instrution.

And don't do it on anybody who is urinating.
Only when the person is very very tension already, then suddenly let go the tension, that very short moment only can work~!!

Will share with you more about how hypnotise works as I personally went for a hypnotise session before. It was really good and the benefit is still taking its effect on me until now!

Meanwhile, learn how to meditate first, ok?

A story that I won't forget

She was an orphan.

Being adopted by a temple caretaker since small.
She grown up to be a pretty lady, and married to a medium, of another temple.
.
.
... ...
.
.
Mediums are those who 'lend' their body to God, for possession.
During possession, the 'God' who enter the medium's body will help the public in anything that the public requested.
Like,
Check whether your house is haunted.
Check whether you should change job.
Check whether your boyfriend / girlfriend is the right one to get married.
Check when you can be a millionaire.
Check whether you should go travel this month.
Cure any untreatable disease.
...
Basically the medium can do anything under the sun.

Back to the orphan...
Her name is Doris.
Doris had a typical mother-in-law,
Who always find-fault with her.
Whenever Doris planned to go out with the husband, the mother-in-law will try not to allow her to go.

For example,
There was a wedding invitation,
Suppose Doris and the husband were invited to the function.
The mother-in-law will be so jealous.
and will find ways to make Doris cannot go for the dinner with the husband (which was her son).
The mother-in-law will tear off the 'zips' of Doris's dress, one hour before Doris dress herself up.
In the end, Doris got no dress to go and have to stay at home.
Husband will attend the function either alone, or with the mother.

It was really sad..

Since the first day Doris married to the husband.
The mother-in-law never fail to give HELL to her.

16 years later,

One day... ...

The mother-in-law put something under the kitchen stove.
Then pretend to pull the son to the kitchen,
and said she found something under the stove.
"Son, see! What is this?!"

The son pick the thing up...
The mother continue to pour acid...
"Must be your wife trying to charm you, she wanted to do black magic on you!"
"This is a very good evidence! No wonder every times she likes to cook for you to eat!"

The son was so so so angry...!

He ran to the bedroom...
Grabbed the wife's hand.
Then pushed her out from the house.

Poor Doris...
That night she got no where to go to.
...
...
...
She didn't feel well..
Next day she was admitted to hospital...
After a few session of check-up...
She was diagnosed with LAST STAGE OVARY CANCER...

Why?!
Why was she so unfortunate?

Just being chased out by the husband,
next day got such bad news!

She was lying in the hospital,
with her hand busy dialing phone number...
Called her friend to help her find room to rent.
Asked her colleague to help tender her resignation letter...
Seek help from friend to withdraw her EPF, to pay her medical bills, pay the rental fees...
and run errand for her.

She has nobody to turn to......

She has three children...
Eldest son was 15 years old.
Second son was 10 years old.
And the daughter was only 9 years old.

The husband didn't allow the children to contact her or see her.
During her admission in the hospital, the husband kept calling her to go to the lawyer office,
to sign divorce letter.
She told the husband that she was very ill, got cancer and was lying in the hospital.
The husband didn't believe her.
Said: "This is just your trick to make me see you! This is just your trick to make me stop thinking of divorcing you! You are so cunning! You witch! I won't believe you!"

After staying in the hospital for one month,
she was discharged.

Friend took her to her rented apartment,
while hospital referred her to Hospis Malaysia (a charity organisation that take care of terminally ill patients, which doctor announce no medication for the sickness anymore).

I knew her through Hospis Malaysia.

She was looking for a volunteer to bring her to Tong-Shin Hospital.
She wanted to see Chinese doctor, hoping that Chinese-medicine can cure her cancer, but she didn't understand Mandarin, so, she needed someone to help her.

I was the only volunteer who can read, write and speak Mandarin that time (by now, Hospis Malaysia should have a few Chinese-educated volunteers).
So, I was assigned to bring her to Tong Shin hospital.

The first day I brought her to see Chinese doctor, I was so moved by her...
She was really a very nice lady...
Even though she had such a terrible marriage, and was so ill...
She never complain...
Never talk bad about the world...
Never blame others.
Never cry and scream...
Or like other people who will ask why the God treated her so unfair..
She never...

After the first round Chinese-medicine,
she needed to see the doctor again, to take new medicine.

I went to take her to hospital again.
When we reached the hospital....Her sickness like suddenly turned serious.
I got to help to admit her to the hospital...
I still remember that day was Thursday...
I took her IC to the counter, and arranged for her admission...
I saw her birthday was the coming Sunday...

After I admitted her to the hospital... I left the place with full of sorrow.
She never see her two children since the day the husband chased her out.
Only the eldest son daring enough, took bus to the hospital and visited the mother few times after school.

On Sunday,
I rushed back from Penang...
I wanted to give Doris a birthday surprise by buying her a cake.
But it was already 10pm.
All cake shops would have closed, and even if I manage to find one, by the time I turn back to the hospital, her birthday would have overed already.

So, me and my honey ran to the Swiss Garden Hotel (just opposite the hospital where Doris stayed) to buy one slice of cake...
I chose a piece of cheese cake, then bought a smiley balloon for her.

We went into her ward, wake her up and sing her the birthday songs.
You know what...
I can't stop crying.
Cause she married to her husband for 16 years, never once she got the chance to celebrate her birthday.
And her favourite cake is cheese cake!

...
...
...

The story is not end yet...

I talked to the eldest son..
We planned to take the other two children of Doris from school,
to visit Doris in the hospital...
Because the husband will make sure the two children reach home by 5pm after their tuition finish in the school at 4pm.

That was an exciting Monday...
I brought the eldest son with me.
And drove to the brother sister's school at 1pm...
The eldest son told the teacher that I need to take the brother sister to hospital visit the mother,
they will have to skip their tuition at 2pm.

The teacher allowed!

We quickly brought the two brother sister to Tong Shin hospital.

On the way,
I told the two small children to get ready...
Told them not to cry when they see their mother
As the mother will not look like the healthy and pretty mother like they knew...
The mother has no more hair... Face swollen... And not much voice to talk already.

The two small children just obey and nodded their head in the car.
I was crying in my heart.

When the children reach the hospital and saw the mother...
They just can't stop crying and hugging the mother.

It was really really sad..

at 3.30pm, I have to separate them... and send the two children back to school.
So that they can take school bus home at 4pm, without the father knowing that they went somewhere...

I promised the two children that I will bring them again to see the mother on Wednesday.
But...
Doris passed away on Tuesday night....

Before she passed away, I asked for her permission to share her story with other people.
I still remember she was smiling like a kind Bodhisattva, told me to go ahead and share her story with others.

It was an unforgetable experience for me..

That even though life is short.
We can raise our head up high and live until the end.
We can be kind no matter how taugh the situation is.

Doris is really my role model.
I respect her, and will always remember her kindness...

Dear friend,
Please say 'hi' to Doris:

The world is cruel.
Human heart is unpredictable.
But that should not stop us from being kind.
For doing our best to treat other good...

I'm not showing what I did..
I just wanted to show you how kind a person can be.
Even though she is so ill.... She was still smiling all the time...until the last breath....

Hope everyone can be so kind and calm like Doris....

Looking around Macau

Macau was once under Portugal.
That's why you can see Portuguese everywhere.

Ok, this word you must not miss!!!

Haha~~! HOMENS?
Why "Homens"?
It sounds like Home-men....
haha....maybe last time most of the Portuguese men were house-husband?
:P

You can see this type of trishaw everywhere in Macau.
It's nothing new la.
You can hire this trishaw to take you around Macau town...
But hoh....
It cause about HK$150~~!!!
Taxi only HK$120

And I traveled by bus only cost me about HKD10....

Anyway, I got no heart to sit also....
Feel bad to see the uncle spend so much energy to ride the bike, just to take me around the town... I can cry one.


Ok, pictures below are the building around Macau town...
(I called it town because it is really small to me le...)

don't know what building is this, but see that lots of people taking photos with this building, I also pretend like: woah~!! oh!! this building woh!!! come come, let's take photo.....!
(haha~~!)

Finally I'm at this Senado square~!
The feeling is really different!
Read from magazine or watch from TV is totally different from you experience it yourself.
No wonder those who are enlightened like the Living Buddha always encourage people to travel and see around the world.

There are so many branded shops here.

GIORDANO~~!
And people queueing to buy!

Branded "bao bao".
Just like the HongKong drama show, every salary day must go shop for all these bao bao...
But, I have no craving for all these material things le....

This is their main street.... so narrow..... really make full use of every inch of the land for commercial use...

Better build more shoplot then widen the road yeah?

Go to Macau, how can you don't go to their casino?
so, I went into this casino...
Wanted to bet...
But see the gambling ghost around, got frigthen la...

In the end chicken out.....rather spend the money to lepak...

Where do you want to go?

What is so different about this photo?
See the shop name -- Chow Tai Fook~~!!!!
Muahaha....feel like laughing at the name....just sound very funny in Cantonese...
But it is a high-class jewelry shop~~~!
Equavalent to our "Diamond & Platinum"
You can see this Chow Tai Fook everywhere in Macau and HongKong, just like 7-11.
Another competitor of it is CHOW SHANG SHANG...
hahahaha..... really one.

Can anybody tell me this bridge lead to where?

Ok, last...
Is this the latest way to serve chicken wing?
