Yard Sale
Yeah starting to prepare for a clean up! Started last weekend and also spent some time this weekend - bit by bit, organizing all the items to go. Want to get everything ready and have a 'leaving off-island' yard sale mid of next month, during my vacation week. Yeah, not going back to KL. Since we can go back Jan next year, better wait, so will be able to stay longer in KL and KB too.. Also planning for Analina's 2nd birthday but most likely having it organized at her daycare only. To cook or not to cook? Hmmm, party tray cost $30 each, need about 4 trays: chicken, vege, noodle, rice, and fruits. Then banana cake - $1 each. Now, how many kids do we have? Like 30 odd and 10 teachers! Okay, more thinking ...
Doing The Right Thing
Mom called to see how I am doing. Was abit surprise to hear from her but I do sense that Mom and Dad really care and love me alot. Most of the time, they don't want to say it (and I suppose even more like this to bro - so that's why communication breaks down between them)... After talking to Mom, and knowing we still communciate, I get to ask her how she is, and we talked .. I felt I was right all the while, for not giving up on keeping communications open with them, and fight all those negative feelings surrounding the issue of how they are treating Granny. The fact that I chose to treat each relationship separately, really helps me in maintaining relationship with my parents and I am more sure today and before, that this is the right thing to do. If I hadn't done that and let my own emotions run wild, I would have had so much resentment talking to them, and thinking 'why bother to call them, why bother to be nice to them, after all I don't like what I am seeing now, or why can't they accept Granny to our home' .. and then create a barrier between me and them ... slowly, and surely, this barrier will keep us apart and eat us up from both ends.. So, irregardless of their doings or seemingly wrongdoings at any point, we should always be good to our parents, recipocrate their love and care, at all times... after all, who are we to say that they haven't been good parents? They may not have been a good son or daughter-in-law, or may have been but not good enough, but to judge if they have been good parents, we don't even need to question it, the answer is right infront of our eyes, if we choose to see it ... So, having said that, I will have to work my ass off next year since I will not have a job, so I definitely have to get one and no slacking! I guess, I don't want to dissapoint my parents for not being able to support them financially ..
Dad's Birthday
Despite the recent emails back and forth about Granny, and my advise to Dad to take care of Granny, thus creating unpleasant frictions between me and Dad, I called him up to wish him Happy Birthday. Yeah, if we could stay focus and not let events affect another event, life would be more pleasant .. and less of the negative chain reaction.. Sent him a nice birthday care way much earlier and gave him RM$388 ang pow, so he and Mom can go have nice seafood dinner ...
Happiness From Within
But of course, I myself would have had also done negative things that created negative outcomes. What sort of negative outcomes? Wow, hehe .. I am sure there are quite a few but nothing major as I feel I am always protected somehow, but you know, I may not always be protected from misfortune if I became reckless, irresponsible, idle etc etc, name all the negative habits and attitude .. It's not an easy task! But have you ever wondered why is it so hard for some people to stay 'good and experience goodness' and why so easy for others to do the same? I am sure we do know one of two friends around us who seemed to be those 'worry-free' kind? Happy go lucky kind? Those who's actually not easily affected by things around them and seemingly contented throughout their course of life and don't really get into trouble much? Yes, indeed, there are people like that, and its not just good karma .. but throughout our lives (and lifetime) we have alot of good and bad habits! These people have good habits and carry around them all the time (and probably have been like that for many lifetime) .. this can mean good thinking, good attitude, good actions, good heart, good intentions .. all sorts .. so they carry these forward throughout the many cycles of life! But this also mean, if you are always angry, sensitive, easily frustrated, unforgiving (any kinds of negative element) and you have had that alot before, most likely you still have it now ... and these elements not only keep you in that state for a long long time but perpetuates you to create more negative karma such as actions followed by anger, actions followed by jeolousy, actions followed by discontentment ... so you can see, it can be very accumulative and destructive! Awareness if the first step.. maybe that's why they call it the 'awakening', and next is to repent and take corrective actions .. that way you become a better and better person.. isn't that what all of us want? Ultimately to be happy ... Anyways, personally for myself, I have alot of cleaning up and self-improvement to do too, so .. while I get there, I just want to share my thoughts and hopefully open up some sleepy eyes ..
Payback Time
Was talking to MICH abit about my financial commitment to my parents, and you know, not so easy so I try to stay positive and remind myself, its an opportunity that I get to repay my parents for the goodness they have given me. Later in the day, I thought abit more while on the way to pick up Analina. Infact, when we think about the law of karma .... (not saying I know so much about it, but basically clining on to the notion of cause and effect) it's not entirely true that it's Payback Time. If we think outside the four walls (in this case, this phase in my life) .. back to when I was first borned .. you see, I did not and was not capable of creating good karma .. but why then, even before I was born and right after, I received so much love and care and goodness from my parents and people around who cared for me and protected me from danger and all sorts? I must have done it sometime before I was born .. in order to receive the goodness. So, OK, accepting that .. means, I could have in my previous life did things that entitled me to enjoy this goodness (i.e. being born with parents, in an OK environment, no misfortune, not living in the dumps, have food to eat etc..), so there you go, Cause and Effect. So I used up all the goodness I have previously created, and as I said before, we can run out of it. As of earlier, if I thought it was Payback Time, it would mean doing something (i.e. paying my parents money now) for an effect (their love for me) of the past... I think this is not logical. So, the more logical answer would be what I mentioned earlier.. I did something in the past (cause) that allows me to enjoy some goodness (effect) when I was born (in my case, an OK childhood) and what I am doing now (cause) will help me create future goodness (effect) whether in this life of next life (probably born the same again, with parents and in an OK family environment? hehe - sounds logical! But, indeed, what a cycle of life ...Hence! If this is true, then it answers to why I used to wonder 'Darn, my parents did so much for me, how to pay back be all the kindness???! Even if I pay back all tuition and education fees, monetary, but non-monetary, I don't think I can ever pay back and you know how busy we get sometimes with our own lives .. the answer is, don't worry about paying back! The reason why we received all those goodness is because we already worked hard for it. But that doesnt mean we don't treat them well when we get older, we should care for them and love then and give them money but that's because we are presented with the opportunity to create more goodness in the future and if we choose to do otherwise (neglect our parents, take them for granted etc) then we will receive misfortunes in the future .. I guess, it is that simple.However, understanding shows me more truth in what I see is happening and feel abit sorry for my parents. Despite the goodness they have received based on the goodness they have done, I am afriad they cannot run away from the misfortune that they will experience if they continue to be so determined about not seeing Granny and not taking care of her during her few last most desperate years... you see, in their next life, they may be born again with misfortune such as my Dad will grow up without a father and my Mom grow up without a mother .. I dont' enjoy saying this but the truth seems to be clearer now, about karma.. as I wonder how come my Dad in this life had to suffer this life without the love of a father which he yearned alot and my Mom also suffered this life without the love of her mother which she yearned alot. They both never had this and they could have caused it in their previous life, and may be doing it again this life .. it becomes habitual if you don't break it .... I am not proud to be saying this but I want to share my thoughts so that anyone who reads this will be able to benefit and stop, think and do the right thing now, never abandon your family...
Miscommunications Can Be Disasterous
Feeling rather nostalgic today but in most way am glad things turned out for the better now. SIL and I talked alot - more like heart to heart talk and talked about the past. There were much misunderstanding and more like miscommunication between us, and Bro, and including Mom and Dad I believe .. that's the time when our family started to fall apart - when Dad had to sell his house, facing alot of financial difficulties. Anyway, I am glad SIL and I are much closer now and talk more openly about alot of things and hope to be able to talk more with Bro and Mom and Dad with Bro to reestablish some 'lost times'! I think Mom and Dad still very heart broken when they think of the situation every now and then (though they don't say they are and wish the best for everyone) and perhaps thats why isolating even more. For me, I was a little lucky. I also did try to do what normal human beings would - auto isolate, but somehow after living in Hong Kong for a while by myself, I went through a transformation of the soul .. you would be surprised how, just by reading a book in a busy and crowded city! That was when I decided not to isolote from Bro and SIL further, and re-establish communications. Same time, focus on giving back as much love as I can to my parents.. But you know, I still wonder about Bro and Mom-Dad .. esp, I know, they wished they would see Bro's family more but hardly do. I guess, both side didn't think of making much move .. At least, I know now, it wasn't that Bro didn't care or didn't want to care, but I think we all just need to be more open about our feelings and talk things out. Clearly, there's lack of communications between all parties and therefore negative feelings and thoughts were kept in the deepest part of our hearts. Whatever it is, I hope things will look better soon, that we will forgive each other and cleanse our hearts, then just focus on care, care and care for others, esp. our family members...
Plans Go Opposite Directions
So, the plan is taking abit of a 360degrees turn. Hubby is working on a job assignment in SG? Hmm, pretty far from the States eh!? Anyways, I guess, it has to be step-by-step .. we can't worry too much about the unforseable future huh!? Good to plan, but more important to adjust to reality ...
Sick - Flu, Bone-ache ..
I think I need to monitor how often I get sick and start to boost my health. Yes, I didn't execute all those exercise plan I had in mine months earlier .. I deserve this! Anyways, MICH mentioned fish oil .. need to try some of those. Mean time, I need to start on some vitamins ... Seems ways to sensitive to the medicines here and heart pumping alot when taking even over the counter medicines... Anyway, it was flu-like, lots of bone-ache and very week over the weekend. Much better now, just abit stressed out but I am still cool. Should be OK by the end of the day ...
Give and You Shall Receive...
That's my MSN message last week "I don't know how to tell you this but its true, give and you shall receive.." It came from my thoughts about my parents.. and no doubt that they have given alot esp. to me, my bro and even my granny (20-30 years back then) and surely they have also received and probably receiving, but the fact is, you just have to keep giving ... to keep receiving.. Once you stop giving, and you used up all that you are receiving, you will simply not receive anymore. I can start to see some reality in this in my parents because they started isolating from family and friends and only wanted peace for themselves at their home after the financial ordeal and having to sell their home... I can see now, over the course of time, they simply are not receiving much goodness anymore.. it seems like, goodness is slowly depleting and loneliness starting to creep in - but they are struggling to surive and overcome these loneliness. Though, on my part, yeah they are stil receiving from me but I am also always trying hard to keep communications with them and make sure I recipocrate all that they have given .. and not take them for granted despite whatever is happening now. But from time to time, I noticed that they do things that creates a south-south magnet effect with people around them (even with me, but I fight it) so family and friends end up staying away from them either .. do you see it? I do .. it's starting to become so clear to me the karma effect. I am sure in one way or another they do give to others except not in the ways that they should be giving to Granny - esp. her last few old age years. But still, you know what? We can't run away from the fact that karma hunts you down ... as what I read in today's About.com article about what Buddha said "Actions bring results, whether for good or ill..." it's a cycle of life .. and you know what? You can be doing alot of good and then receive alot of goodness but it is not forever .. if you stop, it will run dry, just like savings in your bank account. As simple example is if you stop making money (however the way it is, whether work for others or investment generated) you will dry it up sooner or later because you have expenses to incur at one point or another, and on-going ...
Moderation ....
Bro, SIL and I try exploring other options for Granny. She is thinking of living with U.Ling but that's because she already accepted the fact that my Dad doesn't want to take her in. Most recently, I also hear from Dad that, well he said he has tried his best for the last 20-30 years taking care of her. I guess this is not the first time I am getting this respond .. it's just that I thought I might get lucky this time that he would have at least start to open up abit to his own mom .. but I guess not. Anyways, we're now thinking of U.Ling option but I told Bro that she had experienced that option before and I thought it was quite an awful experience with her since she said that U.Ling's wife (my aunt) wants to kill her... (well, maybe she's not using the right words to express herself but she certainly had fear back then)... At that time, when I visited them to get my Granny so she could stay at my rented Puchong apartment, I remember my cousin was rather mad at me - I suppose for letting Granny stay there? We never had conflict before but she refuse to talk to me. Hmm, she's such a young girl but I am not sure why she had suddenly developed that attitude. Anyways, their family eventually sold the house and said there's not enough place for my Granny (I think that's BS-btw but just to avoid letting anger eat me up.. so I let it be) .. Now, she's planning to go back there .. so I told my Bro about the above but I said, its worth trying that option anyway, since U.Ling is also her son. The plan is for each of us to pay U.Ling RM$400 so that would make up RM$800 in the hope that money can help open up their arms for Granny... I don't think I can give more than what I am currently capable of giving so I'll have to draw some from what I am giving to Mom and Dad .. my monthly commitment to Mom, Dad and my little family here alone, is not that 'light' .. it actually comes up to RM4000/mth .. geez, I didn't realize that much until recently I thought about going back to MY. Well, I definitely won't be able to get a job to cover that kinda money!!! And this is just loans and living expenses for others, my goodness .. not yet including expenses related to myself such as own car, own apt, personal, hobbies, interest, work, gifts I want to get for others, volunteer-donations, sports, things I want to buy for Analina .. I wonder how did I ever pull through ... no wonder I don't have my fav. lingerie either, hardlt buy make-up, never go for facial .. whatabout my manicure and pedicure .. ? Nah .. never go to any anymore .. shoes? Keep to minimum ... clothes? Wear the same ones and tell myself, overcome how others judge you by your appearance .. hmmm .. maybe I am pushing myself too hard I didn't realize .. but we should really take care of others while we have the chance huh? Esp. our parent's needs ... help hubby with financials etc .. But then, Buddha says 'MODERATION' .... how can I balance this!?
Turning Plans Into Action
So, are we moving? Yeah, seems like it. With a mix of a few reason, yeah I have expressed to my boss about how I feel I cannot 'grow the department' based on the existing resources and conditions. I've thought through it very thoroughly (even before the radon issue) and my decision is final. He says I'll regret it. Infact, ex-bosses have said that to me before too, but I don't think it's true .. after all, I haven't regret any bit since. That's because I don't expect my decision to lead me to a flowerly outcome - whether for the better or worst, it's a path that I choose to walk and my Dad always told me, never to regret. So, yeah, Jan 2006 is my last month here - probably leave by end of Dec anyway, unless earlier - I also don't mind. In the mean time, I'll just do my best while I am here! Don't think we will go back to MY this Aug (have to save some $$$ for next year!) - so we could just go back to MY early next year, then stay for about 2 months or so - spend CNY there, yay! After that, check out the States! If nothing happens, balik kampung!
The Magnet Effect
When you're with people who are forgiving, you will be less forgiving because you are always forgiven. So, when you're with people who are less forgiving, you will be more forgiving because you are always forgiving the other person .. Being with people who are not so nice to you gives you enormous opportunity to be a better person. But at the same time, you are faced with 2 battles; 1. to accept the fact that these people who's around you all the time (normally someone you love dearly) may not be all that loving, caring or gentle kind - or they may, but not in the usual way 2. go beyond 'an eye for an eye' - because we as human beings have this tendency be mean to the other person because they have been mean to us - even if we don't want to be mean, we reserve all our goodness and tell ourselves, why should I be nice to him or her, after all this is how they want to treat others so I'll treat them the same ..... If we can overcome these 2 battles, each day, you will be a better person inside, and definitely creating more good karma for yourself! Don't let the environment eat you up inside! Try it to believe it - if you are talking to a hot tempered person, you will realized you won't always want to be so hot tempered after all .. esp, if you are living with that person day in day out! But if you're living with a gentle and soft person, very patient kind .. you better watch out because you will be the one who cannot wait to blow up! :P
Cleansing on One's Heart
SIL mentioned to me about granny a few days ago - some medical emergency. Bro called Dad and Uncle Ling but they didn't even bother to visit her - they have their reasonings.... We started talking again about how granny situation is like. Finally, I sent SMS to Dad and Mom asking them to reconsider taking her in, and forgive and forget whatever it may be. After all, she's sad and lonely and what she did before was only nothing but with a heart of a loving mother - who has brought up her 2 sons in the most natural way one would do it - survived through thick and thin. Dad and I sent a few emails back and forth but now I am very shaken and faced with alot of negative feelings towards the whole issue. I battle so hard to try and stay positive, not let their actions affect my actions towards them. It's just so hard and I am mentally trembling now. I know I have to treat my parents right and I vow to set a good example to them no matter how they are treating granny, but instead of me knocking some senses in them, they always fight back with alot of resentment and unwillingness to forgive. This is not the first time .. I try every now and then, but I always end up giving in to Mom and Dad's will (such strong will to abandon my granny) because they feel so strongly about it .. I tried so hard to be polite and nice about telling them how I feel, telling them what I think they should do about granny, giving them options, giving them support if only they are willing to help granny, but I get bitten instead and so I was down with tears because even Dad would have such strong mindset about not taking in granny .. after all that she has done? I had in my mind .. granny never abandon my Dad no matter what the situation was (her husband left her, she struggled to earn a living, she struggled through WW2 ..) and now that she's old, can barely see, and most of all, misses her son so much, he abandons her ... I try not to let anger eat me up, but you know, I do hate looking at my parents doing this because deep inside I wish they were good role models to me. Despite the fact that yes, they have given me so much, education, safely, living, and love, I wish they had been more forgiving to my granny. I don't even wish they forgive their enemies (which all of us should), but seems like expecting them to forgive an old lady who had done so much for them .. just so hard for them...
Radon Testing Record
This week we have tested the daycare, it was low reading! :) Continuing with the re-test for our indoors with doors and windows closed, and a/c turned on. Condo manager seems to have a lot of negative feedback and doesn't look like anything can be done soon with the mitigation system :( Though, the good news is we can share the cost because of a common pipe but the bad news is, we don't know when it can get done because of the need to get agreement from more people, esp. condo manager living downstairs, he seems to need so much more information from everwhere and doesn't sound like there will be any resolution to this even by year end ....========================================

Some Plans in Thoughts ...
So they say 'seek and you shall find' , 'patience is a virtue', it's really true, we just have to keep going. Anyway, yeah, maybe it's not such a great idea after all moving to the States. Hubby did mention about TA - well, being more prone to it, big places also .. Yeah, I know, it didn't have to be TA, it can be any other treats, even robberies, gun, all sorts. So does that mean we give into to the potential environmental terror? Will see how, have more patience and seek more answers. Radon readings look good but I am not sure if we are testing it correctly, so will have to verify that with Geoffrey again. In anycase, we need to install the mitigation system anyway.. apparently, the house would be a little cooler also ... Mean time, waiting for our last 2 windows. After that, we should be able to ventilate the condo well.. Now, running the test at daycare over the weekend. Hope they don't mess it up! So what's next? Still the same, I still need to wrap up my job here .. and then take a long break back in KL ..
Way of Life
I've been practicing this mode and I am pretty happy with it. Today I come across a website with the same notes about how we see life, and how easier life can be if only we acknowledge that we are responsible for our own actions ... "When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer alot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy" This notion really keeps me strong inside, and to know the cause (or at least belief and accept that there is a cause of an event) helps so much in accepting the misfortune around us, whether it be friends, family, work or personal growth .. Then I was thinking, oh that's cool, we can think the same for good fortunes happening around us too .. and that gives us acknowledgement to our own well deserved credits, and ultimately the ability to embrace the happiness in existence! Boils down to 'live today, do not worry about tomorrow' eh? ;) Source for the above quote: Gotaro websiteP.s. When I tried to copy the text, it says, remember the 2nd percept, do not take what is not given! *gasp* .. I was going to paste the above quote to remind myself about leading a better life ..., I hope its OK - anyways, I always make it a point to always acknowledge the sources .. this I learn from UNI-years!
Some Plans In Thoughts ...
Actually, moving to the States may not be such a good idea. I know we can't run away from every negative aspect but looking at some facts, many parts of the states have very high radon level either. The thing is, eventhough you choose an area according to the EPA website - generally lower radon levels, you still need to have your home tested. I was thinking, the consolation is, perhaps in general there's no elevated radon levels so we don't have to worry so much (in general). However, four season, weather conditions, alot of adjustment there .. since I don't see the 'light at the end of the tunnel' yet .. will just put this on-hold. Wrap us ASAP and take a holiday back home .... Already met with radon mitogation specialist, met with 2 radiologist - one who is also a trained radon specialist .. Maybe Buddha has some guidance for me .. now I recall! I recently read an article about the example of smoking (or drinking, can't recall) .. and Buddha's wise words sounds like this "If you cannot abstain from it, consider how much harm it will bring unto you and others around you ..." how can I apply this in our situation right now .. think, think, think!
Proper Radon Testing
I think we have to start all over again. Read from EPA website, during a short term test, doors and windows are closed 12 hours prior to testing and throughout the testing period. Should not conduct during severe storms and unusually high winds. Place it at the lowest lived-floor, in a room that is used regularly, but not in the kitchen or bathroom where high humidity of the operation of an exhaust fan could affect the validity of the test ...
Some Plans in Thoughts ...
Due to the cold weather starting Nov through Feb/March, it's not practical for me and Analina to be joining my gf as planned so am trying to modify the schedule to see how it goes. Maybe go to the States mid-Aug instead, then hubby can join and see the place, but then it's too short a time to travel with all the in between flight, driving and jet lag.. After much thought, since we can manage the radon readings, esp. pushing the mitigation system with our neighbours, I'll probably stay a few more months .. Must quit job by year end though .. not just coz of radon, but that's not the path I want to be heading career wise ....
Radon Readings Record
We continue the readings tested '1' for the master bedroom .. on and off the the place is ventilated with fresh air too. Want to test Analina's daycare but they say, wait for 'weekends'.. I know alot of people not 'kan cheong' about this .. since you can't see, smell or touch the danger huh?07/05.05-midday through 07/07.05-midday Living Room-downstairs, reading '0' ??? 07/03.05-midday through 07/05.05-midday
Master Bedroom-upstairs, reading '1' ..
07/01.05-midday through 07/03.05-midday
TV Room-upstairs, reading '1' ....
There are different test periods: weeklong, 90-day, and yearlong. Because many factors can influence radon levels in indoor air, a yearlong measurement is the preferred length since it gives more accurate results. But if you can only test for a short amount of time, do the testing during the winter months because all the windows and doors are closed, but do not do it during unusually severe storms or periods of unusually high winds. Alpha track detectors and electret ion detectors are the most common long-term testing devices. The test canister should be put in the lowest level of the home that you use. Put it in the basement if you use your basement. It should not be put in rooms that are high in moisture or that are drafty, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or hallways. High humidity and drafty conditions can affect the results. Also, do not bother the devices while they are sampling. Experts recommend using two test kits as a way of determining if your test is accurate. If you find one canister has significantly higher levels than the other, you know that the test is inaccurate and inconclusive and has to be redone.

Started Testing Radon
3 days ago we tested the master bedroom - but we have to retest because we didn't leave it up till 48 hours. Today's reading for the TV room is 1 - that's a relief! At least, for now, there's a place where Analina can spend more time, with less exposure. Now, we are turning on the reading for the master bedroom ..
Some Plans In Thoughts ..
I think its very obvious and there's no debate about the risk radon gas poses on humans, esp children .. facts are all in place (except I never knew of it earlier.., and except it is not as publicized as smoking treats) Right now, we are eagerly awaiting to install the necessary to lower down its reading at our condo, but we have to have at least an agreement with our neighbours because we share the same pipeline. The reading is arleady super high, how much more can we reduce? Really don't know. Furthermore, infact all of the northern and including central part of Guam is at the red zone of radon gas exposure (see EPA website).. so I guess I don't even want to think about moving to another house. It's still an option to most people but I don't want further exposure for Analina... Furthermore, not only do we have to deal with radon, but there are still so many uncertainties aboout certain Leukemia cluster area around? What if we move to the southern part for example, and there much more radioactive-related exposure due to military areas and chemical-what not!? After all, Guam's got big military base up north and south .. I guess for now, to have the mitigation system installed is our top priority now - while we are here. I've also further decided that we could not wait till year end (some timeline I had established with my boss to try out this new department I am currently involved in) .. because everday we are breathing the air! Actually, I can't imagine at such tender age of Analina .. My vacation starts mid-Aug and we're not coming back. I know John's (my boss) going to be upset with me but I really cannot compromise further Analina's health ... I wish I can make everyone happy but really, that's not going to work... Back home, we will spend about 2.5 months and by November we will go to States. From there, we will spend another maximum 6 months with my buddy gf - Michelle, then plan from there and in sync with hubby's work and relocation arrangements and see what happens next ... sounds like a plan? We have to have one.
Radon and Lung Cancer
So it seems there's a relationship between radon and lung cancer.. I didn't know before this! But there's quite a fair bit of info out there about radon-induced lung cancer ..
