Above is an awesome video shot by yours truly and the clips compiled into a movie. The decorations at Queensbay Mall were superb, with giant kois and even a water pipe with running water out turning a wooden wheel for fortune. Chinese New Year celebration is indeed a big occasion. It is celebrated yearly with loud bangs of fire crackers, giving out of "ang-pows" or red packets with money to the unmarried people, and young ones. It is time to rejoice and have some reunion dinner with the tossing of "yee sang" or salmon salad with crackers and honey.
See the video below, also done by yours truly.
Here are ordered food from "Foong Wei Heong Chinese Restaurant" during CNY eve. Let the video speaks for itself. Below is a nice Instagram picture of CNY eve's dinner theme where the family get together for meal fellowship.
Hope you enjoy and view my 2 videos above that were done this week and the Instagram picture carefully chosen from my WhatsApp account. Stay safe and Stay HAPPY.

On a side note, it is indeed sad, that a dear Atomian who was my first member, and the only one who attended a Zoom session, albeit only once, passed away on 5th February 2021 due to a massive sudden cardiac arrest. Kelvin Chan had feedback to me about frequent gastric pains, when it was actually a symptom of an impending heart attack. Also, his boss owed him RM500 from RM1k due to the pandemic and MCO.
So, it is a solemn situation for everyone here, especially in Malaysia, notwithstanding the political landscape. Mr. Kelvin Chan Weng Hoong is now in a happier place, holding hands with his beloved mom, that he missed so dearly. His third brother from Muar, Chan Weng Joo, drove out to settle his cremation and autopsy, where he was Covid-19 negative.
Kelvin Chan would have been 53 years of age this coming March 2021.
May you rest in peace, brother Chan. I shall miss our frequent calls on business, politics and Atomy. Thanks for making me an admin in 2 of your channels, especially Food, Beverage and Movies channel, where you were a founder, that is now very active with participants, posting funny movies, ads, messages, and etc. Now, I know you love watching Netflix and Astro, to unwind from the stress at work. RIP brother Chan. You deserve better than this.
That's me unboxing NPET KM20 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo. I had to pay for the costly FeDex courier, and no tax this time. However, 1 important component was missing when it was opened. The USB converter that syncs to the wireless keyboard and mouse. Now, customs, can you explain this important missing component??? The wireless keyboard and mouse combo are now useless without this component that's missing from the package!!!
Indeed, there's too much negativity, theft, cheating and lying to get ahead and to hit commissions. One day, I received a call from a new CIMB relationship manager (RM) that was transfered to the Beach Street branch. I shall not dwell on the details, but suffice to say that I receive a call from her promising me to buy Atomy and she hit my hot button. Not only I lost about $2k, for the early withdrawal of wrong investment in hedge funds, instead of Chinese unit trusts, she NEVER even bothered to buy anything from Atomy, despite being registered. Lesson learnt! Don't be in a rush to register strangers!
The latest news I heard is that for the Chinese New Year (CNY) Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), reunion dinner is now allowed with conditions. No more that 15 family members living within 10km radius, according to today's The Star printout. Also must not involve inter-state or inter-district travel.
Anyway, I am quite tired of this evening's online Zoom lesson on using a software that is paid for USD 20 monthly. Pretty costly right?? That's how small our Malaysia ringgit has become.
As I am now having a slight headache, I shall end this post. Need a rest and "ME" time to sleep, nap and recuperate. Take care in this "shark eat shark" world!
Above was me dancing to participate in a sponsored program for a 30-day challenge by the mastermind of the moniker, Saje Flow (pronounced as 'Sage' Flow). What I like about TikTok is that it allows you to create short videos and that's about it. There is just too much negativity here, when you read about the political current situation, that I just try to forget about it, and move on with life, hoping to earn an income and be cautious, not to be conned of my hard-earned money. I pray for the covering of Psalms 91 over my life, my finances, my family and everything else.
Also, while in the process of trying to earn extra income, and get busy hustling, I also need to reduce the noise and challenge outside by reducing work load. In addition, I need to pamper myself, by having more "ME" time in solitude and to reflect. For people of other religion or faiths, they will meditate and do what it takes to stay positive, stay calm and stay connected with loved ones.
Below is my Instagram account's photo of Good Morning, Relax It's Sunday message.
This video shows the various pets for sale like dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots, hamsters, mice, an albino Burmese python, tarantulas, bearded dragon pet lizards, various fresh water and sea water fishes, Arowana fish, and pet accessories. Normally, photo taking is Not allowed. But since my friend is a regular customer there, I had the opportunity to take this video for posterity and also indirectly an advertisement for Chew Thean Yeang Aquatic and Pet company.
There's a rare white albino Python for sale as a pet too! Fancy this! In retrospect, I love watching the various fishes swimming, like the Japanese Koi carp, Golden Arowana for "huat" or prosperity, gold fishes and many more. The baby rabbits were so cute to look, but they have small claws, bear this in mind, when carrying them by holding the furry body. Hamsters are easier to upkeep due to its size.
I used to own a hamster called "Hammy" back then, during my student days in the varsity. It was a gift from second sis who was studying in NUS at that point in time. Now she's married and lectures in a UK university, armed with a PhD or doctor of Philosophy, in English Literature. Being a banana, or "Chinese outside but English inside", she loves staying and had gotten herself settled down in the U.K.
Second sis had worked for 5 years as the the head of English Business department in Suzhou, China. She voluntarily resigned to pursue her PhD. In fact, her boss wanted to increase her salary to entice her to stay on, but she had already made up her mind.
Do you like the Instagram picture above? I love "Good Morning" pictures from my various Whatsapp groups and post here for posterity. Incidentally, I also happened to be chosen for Blog Meets Brand ambassador for the first time for Saje Flow. He's of Asian descent living in the US and is a motivational speaker as well as a Youtuber. Apparently he loves dancing and talking, motivating his viewers and sponsee, like yours truly, to create videos and to post on the various social media.
Below is a TikTok video specially made for Saje Flow:-
This is the first time, I managed to add voice with background music to suit the requirements.
From 2021 onwards, I am going to hustle hard, save up as much as I can, and complete as many gigs as possible, while not forgetting to schedule self care daily. Thanks for the inspiration by Saje Flow. Check out:- https://members.dancingandlife.com/auth/register?afmc=7u 😍😎😁

Check out my dinner and hair transformation of re-bonding, cut and dye video below:
See the before and after effects of the vlogger's hair. Since I know MCO or movement control order will be implemented soon, I decided to take the opportunity to have my hair cut short and chemically straightened the day just before MCO kicks in. You can also see my quick dinner of braised beancurd with crab meat and it was so delicious.
See the lovely Chinese New Year decorations in Gurney Plaza, Penang and my yummy lunch of minced chicken noodles in a set with Chinese Tea. Enjoy the video above!
This post is not complete without some Instagram pictures. Yours truly happen to be an ambassador for Blog Meets Brand. Saje Flow, a nickname for an American Asian influencer with positivity and dancing with flow is my sponsor, for all these marketing materials.
To reiterate, a positive mental attitude goes a long way in changing the world around you. Check out https://dancingandlife.com?afmc=7u #dancingthroughcrisis
The above is a walk down memory lane just before Covid-19 hits. It was a trip to China covering 4 places - Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Wuxi, by Air Asia. Those were the heydays and carefree years away from the fear of contracting the recent pandemic that has ravaged the world economy, made millions unemployed and homeless, so say the least.
Anyway, enjoy the night lights of a river cruise in Wuxi, supposedly a retirement town in China. Yet it was bustling with activities at night like tourists such as yours truly patronizing this lovely town for its man-made lights and creations along the small river. Just beside this river were many souvenir gift shops for your shopping indulgence.
As usual, I got myself some fridge magnets from the various countries that I had visited for posterity and the dozens of magnets stuck to my fridge as a mini celebration of my world tour. Each year, I will visit different country/ countries before Covid-19. So, now I just stay at home, even during Christmas, where previously it was routine to visit Genting Highlands for its fresh mountain air, and to dine plus a little shopping. Gambling is a big no-no.
Hope you like the colorful Instagram picture above taken from my account. In all things, we need to put God and Jesus first, so that our labor will not be in vain. Also, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of GOD. See the picture below for some nuggets of wisdom.
Enjoy. God's Word is our most powerful weapon against depression, sickness, poverty, and other ills of society. Finally and in retrospect, stay safe and stay at home if possible.
