Almost all malaysian who read newspapers get to know a sudden star out of no where who is not sexy, pretty but rich and chubby Jho Low.

It seems that a lot of my friends are his friends as well and his daring act came from very young age till now. Anyway since i don’t know him personally, i better not judge from 3rd party view but i salute him to have branded himself to all Malaysians within a day or 2!

Pity the rich and famous friends i have are all in Malaysia so i can’t tell all the exclusive stories of how they do it here! But of course, it’s not up to Jho Low’s standard!

Below is a reference article which i feel the same and don’t want to write again from MarinaM

http://rantingsbymm.blogspot.com/2010/07/lifes-lessons-from-lho.html

But reading Jho’s interview is instructive nevertheless. There’s a lot to learn from him. So here are a few lessons from the 28 years of Jho Lo’s existence:

1. Always go to the best schools eg Harrow, Wharton. So all you people who have to go to all those decrepit sekolah kebangsaans where you only speak BM or Mandarin or Tamil, too bad.

2. When at school, pick your friends carefully. Make sure they are scions of the rich and famous. Forget about the scholarship kids.

3. Stay close to your friends and always make them feel good about themselves. This way, they are sure to trust you. Trust is very important.

4. Make sure you know how to do anything for your friends. Book tables at fancy restaurants and clubs, throw wild parties, order champagne, procure friends who are also rich and famous.

5. Bunk in with friends who can pay USD100,000 for a New York apartment. Never mind if you have to sleep on the couch, the address matters!! (12 people in a 5000-square feet apartment…they all slept in bunks or what?)

6. Be so busy arranging things for your friends that you only have time to eat supersized American meals. But who cares if you’re chubby if your wallet seems to be too!

7. Tell everyone how you made your first million at 20 and are now making billions for other people. How exactly, you don’t have to say. But it’s enough to make more people want to throw more money at you. (Never mind that the finance industry is the most derided right now because of the numbers of people it has impoverished. Not the New York party boys of course!)

8. Get a tame local newspaper to do a free four-page ad for you and make sure they ask you only the questions you want them to ask. Don’t let them ask you the questions just about everybody wants to know, like how DO you organise these parties?

9. Insist you’re a Malaysian through and through but make no mention of any Malaysian friends. Guess partying in KL or Penang ain’t quite the same…

There you go, boys and girls, how to succeed in life the Jho Lo way!!

在八月一日，我在这一生第一次发现自己有那么一些些成就！

大约在七月时， 国际青商会告诉我说他们除了十大杰青外，还多举办一个十大创意杰青来表扬有创意的杰出青年企业家，而我已肯定入选了！

在第二天， 我打了电话给父母说邀请他们到sunway lagoon去一个企业活动。

那一天，当父母到来时，我告诉他们说主办单位会颁奖给我，而他们也不以为然。

哪知道在sunway hotel的大厅遇到了丹斯里李金有时，丹斯里李金把十大创意杰青说的跟十大杰青一样棒，我父母才恍然大悟，原来好像蛮隆重的！

而当天的排场也作足功夫，连电视台都来了，父母才感受到这个奖项的受看重呈度！

在丹斯里李金有颁奖后，这届的科技，科学与创意部长Dato Dr Maximus也陪同颁奖，使得政府比十大杰青更给于支持！

那一天，爸爸对我说了‘well done boy， me and your mum are proud of you!’终于让我发现这些年吃过的苦，就是为了这一句话！

虽然从创业至今，我不断上报但生长在华人社会的爸妈总会开出更高的目标！还记得我在宽柔二小得了第二名回家时，妈妈说你还可以做的更好的！而上了几次报纸，妈妈也说你为什么都上北马版，要上就上全国版呀！而上了thestar的全马版后，她又说还没看到你上电视！

那一天，在领完奖后，她在爸爸去厕所时偷偷的告诉我：‘看到你爸爸今天那么开心，我总算觉得安慰了，我们以你为荣！

而那也是在我这一生里第一次发现自己有那么一些些成，能让父母感到骄傲！

分享给大家我当时高兴与感动的心情，希望大家都能找到自己的成就!

英文版在我的布落格，有更多详情但没有以上的私人分享！

中年危機..

the danger of middle age!

(精彩！真係講得好，寫得妙)

大學校友會杜鵑花之夜演講，主題是人到中年後的困境，全場七百人笑聲不斷，表示有共鳴，能開開自己年紀的玩笑，也算是一種成長後的開朗豁達。

有首歌唱的是明天會更好，為了是給人信心與鼓勵，其實現實生活裡明天會不會更好不知道，但明天會更老是確定的。

歲月要走過，才知道它的凌厲到了某個年紀不得不承認地心引力的厲害，器官樣樣俱在，只是都下垂，所謂的：「萬般皆下垂，唯有血壓高。」

中年後的身體起了很大的變化，蘋果變成梨子型，「坐著打瞌睡，躺著睡不著。想記的記不起來，想忘的忘不掉。」

更糟的是哭的時候沒眼淚，笑的時候一直擦淚。頭上是「白髮拔不盡，春風吹又生」，男士們的髮型也個個如小說家莫言所說的「地方支持中央」──兩邊往中央梳，遮住稀疏的部分。

記憶力明顯衰退，從一個房間走到另一個房間，就是想不起到這兒來要做什麼？忘了剛剛說過的話，變得一再重複碎碎唸。一位老先生甚至說他有一次竟然笑到一半忘記為何而笑。

少年夫妻老來伴，中年夫妻怎麼辦？有人形容食之無味，棄之可惜，彼此的壞習慣改不了，有的夫妻是什麼項目都可以吵，從來沒有妥協過，想想婚前是好有話說，婚後變成有話好說。

每個來到世間的生命，像整存零付一樣，一點一滴地離去，剛剛才是意氣風發的少年，一轉眼變成哀樂中年，還有人要譏笑說這些人是：「知識退化，器官老化，思想僵化，等待火化。」

所以心裡建設靠自己，要人老心不老，皺紋長在臉上，不長在心上。再想想許多人沒有老的權利，年紀輕輕的就歸道山，生活態度也要調整，以前用健康換金錢，現在要用金錢換健康。

有所謂的人生三歷：少年爭取的是好學歷，中年成功與否看經歷，年紀越來越大就要看病歷。

(朋友們請保重，有健康晚年才有好日子。)

A video project that is really creative!

Seems that Malaysians are in fact really open minded no matter what ethnic and it’s those people that think they know it all that are hiding from everyone.

Congrates to all the guys and keep up the great great work! One of the favorite piece of all that i like most!

This one with the lompat kereta concept where the guy jumps from Khairy’s taxi to another taxi,where there is amber chia as taxi driver is a proof of the jumping frog of political parties in fact can be the same. Only the best offer attract people over, of course it can be many factors such as idealism, money, support or others! well it’s a free world where people can make their own decision, but remember to pay first the taxi fees before jumping off!

The other part when namwee says the small keris hang over the car front mirror was nice and cool then Khairy say i have a lot and you can have it. So namwee got few and gave it to other friends where it looks like that hold it up. And so what is with the keris when everyone holds a keris because it’s cool? I also didn’t know why but the newspaper says that it didn’t mean good!

A good way of telling what is halal! I especially like the chic kut teh concept, a new franchise after bak kut teh where it’s suitable for all, but first it has to be ‘halal’!

‘Halal’ by Liew Seng Tat - English Subtitles - 15Malaysia

Yesterday, was having those headache that you feel like you don’t want to leave the bed even you know yourself that you are wide awake. I think the word best describe my mood is ‘depress’. Yes, i felt a bit depress yesterday, in the end i got out of bed at around 11am++ finding a good spot on my sofa reading some books to give me a more relax mood.

Maybe too many things happening all at one time and suddenly everything seems blank! Asking yourself what is the end of after all these shi~! What is the purpose of going through all these dirty shi~ ,bloo~~ shi~!

Then i found myself missing and thinking of one of my best friend, great mentor and great pal, Mr Yeap Kong Tai. Normally if i had problem, i would give him a ring, if he is in Penang, we would go hit a few balls at the driving range, let go of all my frustration and have a nice chat and find solutions during the game. Also a great tea break after that helps too!

Unfortunately, KT (Kong Tai) is passed away this year, so i went direct to the cemetery at the ‘end of the world’ at tanjong bunga beach and paid him a visit.

Of couse before that, i went settle somethings at the bank at 1pm, had a scope meeting at 2pm, went for another meeting at 3pm and got there before 430pm.

Sharing below is one of the talk he has given in PUMM activity!

After viewing this video, i finally know what is confidence and found that i would have done the same thing as he did!

This is a really really cool video, if i knew the answer, i would have did the same thing. But i would call my mum instead!

Only when everything is in your control that you have the world.

Remember i did this a few times throughout my life but it actually put me in risk and danger. Once was during my 1st grade in junior highschool when i told my english teacher that what she mark on my test papers most of the answer given was wrong, she threw back my paper. The next day, i went with reference proof from oxford dictionary and others where in the end she kept quite and tear off my test paper and threw it into the rubbish can. It was hard for me during that age but come to think of it now, i feel that it was only 2 marks from 100 marks! No worries!

Same thing happened during college time but this time i had the upper hand after many experiences. I do have to say sorry to most of the lecturers that had taught me but also thanking the applause that was given for the correct answer!

I always thought that i was over confidence but it seems that i really am wrong, this guy really done what i couldn’t. Cheers again!
