Balloon Buzz..

I should give some acknowledgement to my siblings' business. It's all about balloons!

And I must record this real story. My Dad invited his friend into the shop! They are both octogenarians! After walking round the shop, the friend asks my Dad: sell 'fie-por' (hydrogen filled-balloons) also can? Reason for such unbelief is due to the fact that balloons are not necessities but an indulgence! This is especially so during the Octogenarian's generation, where every little penny is frugally spent on food or saved!

Balloon business is big in the United States and UK. Malaysia is catching up, too! As our country's middle class grows there is a demand for more novelties! Giving a bouquet is an alternative to giving flowers! Balloons especially foil balloons last longer! Balloons also adds to the decor during festivities and celebrations!

Yes, it has been doing well for the last 10years! So check it out!
Be creative! Give Balloon bouquets instead of flowers!

mild jungle in Gopeng

Today is the third day of the chinese new year! In a couple of hours, we will be leaving for Gopeng, where we will participate in white water rafting and a couple of jungle walks. Except it is much milder and we are well taken care of with 5 meals a day.

I am looking forward to it. Why?
a. over the years, I find that pitching our physical ability with nature, especially if there are mishaps, is a good preparation and therapy for the rat race. If one have had survived a capsize in the Kuala Lipis river, walked in a dark moonless night, not knowing where one's next step one is taking you - surviving the sticks and rocks thrown at you in the corporate world is peanuts.

b. well, this trip will be mild by comparison as we are bringing our Gen Z with us this time. They are growing up too fast. I know they enjoy going out with their uncles and this aunt who are so unconventional. But such trips have had brought us very very close. I sure hope to inculcate the love of nature verses the modern day outings to shopping complexes, which is now sadly so endemic of our middle-classes!

Lord, we say a prayer for journey mercies and fellowship!
