It's Christmas Eve Today!

Now, it's that time of the year again for a yuletide season and Jesus is the reason for the season! It's Christmas eve today. Tomorrow, we will treat the family to a simple Western lunch somewhere. Since it is still MCO here, in Malaysia, we did not go to Genting Highlands as we used to in every Christmas time. So, to stay safe, we decided to stay at home here in Penang. It's never boring for me, because I shall have sometime to do daily.

Below is my certificate of completing a Social Media Management course from Coursera that was sponsored by MDEC.

So, you see, my days are pretty preoccupied with online learning and marketing of Atomy while doing some homework for the test and quizes.

Below is a picture of my Maybank AMEX premier card for Tesco RM 50 voucher that arrived yesterday, in time for my Christmas shopping!

Finally, have a lovely Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas lunch with your loved ones and pamper them while they are still alive! Below is my final picture of Christmas Eve greeting with splendid message and composition.

Stay safe and stay at home, people. Always wear a mask when going out to public places.

Awesome Xmas Decorations and Half-day Shopping at Queensbay Mall in Penang

I am relieved that my Youtube is finally working again. Now I am more cautious what I put into the channel, clips and such. It is not easy to make a video that takes hours to complete from shooting to editing and uploading. This week, I have to concentrate on MDEC courses and bidding to show my commitment. They are the paymasters, hopefully. Whoever works, will earn. As simple as that. Those who refuse to lift a finger will go hungry, as written in the book of Proverbs.

Below are some pictures from my Instagram account that you can click on the > icon to swipe left. These are few of the pictures used in the video above.

As I get to use ClipArt for free as a reviewer for 1 year, and it expires on November 2021, I will take the opportunity to showcase some of these copyright free images as far as I am concerned:

Life itself is stressful. So, let's put some love and humor into our Good Morning message with positive vibes like the music of 'Limbo Rock' below:

It is our Heavenly Father who created music; with songs of praises to worship Him. God will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love and He will rejoice over you with singing!

That's it for this week's post and I hope that you will stay safe at home and always wear a mask in public place. Peace!

[Videos] Christmas Shopping and Decorations in Penang, 2020

Above is a short video on my Christmas shopping and the decorations at a mall in Penang 2020. See the red and green theme for every year end of Christmas decorations. I love the mall's superb decorations that are awesome and attractive. This is a premier shopping mall and upscale too. Despite the MCO and pandemic, I am still optimistic of a jolly Christmass, where this is the reason for the season: The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ as a babe to redeem the world from the curse of Adam.

Below is a TikTok short video using a paid gif and animations added with music on the other platform:

Finally, stay safe and always wear a mask in public places.

Stay in Flamingo Hotel and a COMEDY of Always Wear Your Mask in Case of Farting in the Lift

Our last minute change of plans from travelling to Terengganu for a meeting to an unplanned stay in Flamingo Hotel, Penang for a night. The director couldn't make it at the last minute while we were travelling on Penang Bridge and luckily it was just the start of the long journey by road. Well, it is unfortunate that our plane fare booked via Malindo Air website had to be exchanged to travel vouchers instead of returning us the money. This cost the company about $1.7k for a return flight for 2 pax. We also had to cancel our booking that is non-refundable via Agoda.com and lost $500 thereabout for 2 nights in Grand Continental.

To be frank, it was rather stressful, having prepared the PowerPoint slides show presentation and tidy up the bits and pieces to encounter this 11th hour change. I can only pray to our Heavenly Father to help us out in this predicament; who sees a helicopter view of what's actually happening. Anyway, I created another humorous video below to de-stress, with a lesson of always putting on your mask especially in the lift and in this covid-19 pandemic, so as not to spread any virus nor contract it.

Today is the first of September and I am grateful for the blessings that come, no matter what, especially in this mayhem caused by the virus that has wrecked global economy and speed up recession worldwide. This video above is a MUST SEE, as it is so funny watching it repeatedly. It certainly relates to most of us, especially for those staying in highrise or condominiums and apartments with lifts.

Yesterday was our National Day on 31st August in Malaysia.

Above is a lovely "Good Morning" and "Happy Tuesday" Instagram pictures from my account. I will occasionally post these beautiful pictures for posterity on my Instagram and look through them as a reminder of the times that pass by.

Below is another Instagram picture. Enjoy!

My Working Trip to Langkawi in 1998

The video above showcases my working-cum-holiday trip to Langkawi in 1998. Yes, 2 years before this Covid-19 pandemic. That is why you don't see me wearing a mask then. Those were the carefree days from this virus outbreak.

If you view the lovely video with scenic shots till the end, you will see the various panoramic landscapes of the beautiful, untouched island of Langkawi,with many duty free items for sale like liquor, chocolates, batik, perfumes, floral cutleries, and many other high-end items.

There are many activities to do in Langkawi, such as, island hopping by boat, snorkelling, take a short helicopter ride who get a bird's eye view of Cenang Beach Bay, see the beautiful sunset by the horizon on a yatch, visiting many places of tourists' attractions, and more.

This little island is jam-packed with tourism industry. There are many cashew nuts, pistachios, and chocolates that you cannot find in the usual malls of other parts of Malaysia.

This is what makes Langkawi so special where tourist from locals and foreign countries flock here and patronise the restaurants, shopping malls, etc. There are enough bad news flying around the media worldwide and even locally. Hence, I shall dwell the carefree days then to stay happy and cheerful.

Sometimes, we all need a break from the monotony of work and work and blogging is my passion. Simply because I can pen my thoughts freely, without anyone telling me what to write and such. There is this freedom that you get to enjoy as you blog your musings and also rants. Okay, stay safe and practise social distancing, everyone.

As today is a Monday, the first day of the week, I would like to cheer us up with the lovely yellow themed picture from my Instagram account.
