Dear families, Friends, Fans and Followers.
After several breakthrough achievements, my courage
has accelerated and dare to talk more about things that I rarely discuss before.
I am more open to express my feeling publicly in contrast with my introvert nature.
I must confess that I have been transformed after all these years of training
and readings I have done.
Pardon me if you feel offended of this sort of
post, as some of you may feel that it has negative impacts.
One event, I will never forget is the time when I
was about to have my bath in the evening in the year 2002 and received a crying
call from my sister and was shocked to know my dad had passed away. This
news just come out of the blues, for no reason, he was just about 67 (No one
knows his actual age due to its underlying story). This came less than a year
after my grandmother, from my mother side passed away at 103. My uncle, my
mother's younger brother, also passed away at age of 50 plus, a few
months later than my father. He was sent to the private hospital and declared
dead by the hospital.
Below is the obituary in the newspaper which I have
kept for the last twelve years.
We were caught by surprise and the blow was too
great. Luckily, NV Multi, the funeral company came to our rescue to be our ‘one
stop arranger’ to ferry my late father from the private hospital at Subang to
his last stop in Penang 12 years ago. With this, I write to record our sincere
thanks to this esteemed company for providing such a resounding solution at the
time of need. This incident has impacted me lots.

Just imagine, if not for the service provider, we
were totally at a loss at that critical time. I must say that much more hassle
and chaos is expected. None of us have such experience in handling all these sort
of things and our nature of not expecting such calamity to happen so suddenly.
We must admit that we were stressed out unnecessarily
due to lack of experience and lots of protocols to be followed, especially from
my mother.
Through this horribly sad and unforgettable event,
we do encourage people to learn from this lesson. Pre-plan your last stop of
your life to prevent hassle and chaos to the family member left behind,
especially for those who chose to follow the traditional protocols.
I do acknowledge the sensitivity of this sort of
thing, but it is better to confront and conquer it once at all. By not
discussing this matter, you will not be exempted from death. This is part of
life.
This event became fresh again after the lapse of 12
years. I feel an obligation to share my experience with others and at the same
time hope you too can learn the lesson from it.
Be ready to embrace unlimited belief and set yourself
free from all the bondages, false belief and fears that hold you back. Keep
venturing into something new so as to be comfortable in the “uncomfortable
zone” or “unknown area” or “uncertainty”.
One last thing I have learned is that we are now living in the new world with un-precedented fast pace of changes ever recorded. To enable us to strike we have to adopt and adapt to the new environment.
We have come to the stage that “It Is Not the Strongest of the
Species that Survives But the Most Adaptable.” Charles Darwin.
