"Jonel" of a "Botak" kid



Wednesday, 12 October 2011

Arrived back home and Ababe Jr asked me if he can buy a “jonel” (journal). He says he wants to start writing a diary. This is after he has watched The Diary of a Wimpy Kid dvd. He already has 4 of the books but he has never thought about starting his own journal until he watched the said movie.

Rummaging through his cupboard he found an old Ben 10 notebook. He asked me if he could use that as a journal and of course I allowed. He immediately started writing and drawing on the inside cover of the journal. His name, a pirate flag, “no wan can touch this” etc.

Then he started writing on each page the date, draw a picture and write a caption or story underneath it. But because he thought his drawings were not good enough, he asked my assistance! My drawing is much worse!

Anyway, the next morning he drew Moron. Called me up on my way to work to inform me of this and then sent me an mms of MORON…

Guess his “jonel” is not a secret after all…

A tribute to Steve Jobs - Job well done (1955 - 2011)



Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011)
Co-founder of the Apple Inc.



(I am not an Apple user but I find Steve Jobs an inspirational man, thus this tribute.. RIP to the man who shared with the world his bitten apple...)

5 October 2011 Apple Inc released the iPhone 4S which disappointed many as people were expecting the release of the iPhone 5!

6 October 2011 the world was shocked again by the news of the death of Steve Jobs...

May he rest in peace after a legendary legacy that he has left behind. Below are just 2 of many statements made by the man himself which should become an inspiration to us all...

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

12 June 2005 Stanford commencement speech

"Being the richest man in the cemetery does not matter to me... Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful - that's what matters to me."
