I watched a movie, A Simple Life by HK famous director, Ann Hui. The movie was casted by Dianie Ip and Andy Lau. It's all about an old lady, Hoe Jie's living at her elder age, who was not married and worked as a family servant for the Leong family for 60 years, witnessing the five generations of the family. And the good part is one of the son of the Leong family, Roger has took the responsibility to take care of Hoe Jie at her aging days, support her financially for staying in an old folk home and accompanying her till her last day of her life.
The movie touched my soul. It made me realised the life of the human in the aging days. It's not important that you are married or not, as what I can see. They are elderies with children yet still are being sent in to the old folks home, some are being abandoned by their children, some are of course still staying single. What does important is that someone really care for the one stay in old folks home? I can see from Hoe Jie, on how she was expecting the visits of Roger to her. How happy is her when she knew someone care for her.
The movie made me felt for the living of the aging elderies that I has not came across yet. I have parent, they are getting aging, they might think the same like the elderies in the movie. How they expect us to go home to visit them, how they expect we think of them when we are away out here for earning a living. In fact, I realise we need to be patience with the elderies, spending more times with them if we can and care for them more. I did ask myself, am I doing the right part as I suppose to do as a daughter? I do my right part but I don't think I do enough, I need to do better.
I did think about myself too... what will happen to me when I am aging? I just need cares from my family, I wish not to be a burden to them. I wish I am able to take care of myself at my aging days, and I have good contacts with my family, that my siblings will care for each other at our aging days. That's why I practice healthier lifestyle now, to have a healthy body or at least not too sick with illness at my aging days... A simple life I am seeking for, just like Hoe Jie.

What I have had at 2011
What I have had at 2011? Happiness, sorrow, tough... easy going... it a mixture of all!
Work wise~
I just changed my job at end of 2010, I was initially hoping the new job I got was a great one! But it was wrong, that was the first job I have worked for only 6 months, the shortest job I have! I left as I can't adapt to the working culture of the company. Yet, there came another opportunity, I was asked to join my ex-boss for working together again. Finally I choosed to work with my ex-bss again. I have no problem working with him, work is plentyful and we are clearing each one by one based on priority. Work is consider good for me this year!
Friend wise~
I met some new friends this year, there was one we communicate quite well. Yet due to job changed, we stopped contact each other frequently, hardly contact nowaday. I am still in good contact with my group of buddies from ASSB, and bobo club girl-friends from Obtech, and few more good friends of my school times. Friends are important to me, we share life thoughts, good foods, nice talks and laughters together! Friendship is in good maintenance this year!
Family wise~
Few things happened... Father can't walk well, ill due to oldman's sickness. Yet he is still a sturburn man to us, not always listen to us. Mother needs to take care of father now, hardly comes staying with me at my home now. Mother still likes to worry much, I did my best to talk to her more and make her happy. Brother got his new girl friend this year and has his new home sweet home get ready soon, happy for him! Sister faced some problems with her family and what I can do is to talk to her more, to get her to share with me more. I can't do much, I can only listen and console. In my family, my aunt Samyi and me are the one with positive thinking, so we try to input our family members the positive thinking rather than thinking negatively. I sincerely hope everyone in my family will have less worry and live life happily.
Pesonal wise~
I keep learning, experiencing the life I have. Still old same way that I always practice, be happy and go lucky with a contented heart. I strongly believe my thinking reflected how I carry my life. I revised my financial planning by re-financing my home loan and I changed my car since last year end, bigger commitment I am having, yet everything is mangaeble, all by my own! Luckily, I did have my travelling plan came real and have visited to some places this year. Furkids are good, behaving and I love them more! I am still single, not sure there will be something different in coming year or not... I shall tell more in coming year! I always feel I am blessed, everything is just nice to me!
Coming year 2012, I want to live a better and happier life! Happy 2012 and I have had it with no regret!

Ford Driving Skills for Life
Last weekend, I have participated a beneficial program ~ Ford Driving Skills for Life, organized by Sime Darby Auto ConneXion. We were able to experience the car functions built in our car, and with that we know better on our car fucntionalities.
First, we were being taught on how to handle our steering, what is oversteer and what is understeer, what is the right seat position of the driver for the car. Besides, it also explained to us for the built in functionalities in our car. Following this, we were being lead by our intructor to start the three practices of the program.
Mr. Razman is the intructor of our group (with 7 persons). He is an experienced instructor who have worked at F1 Sepang Circuit, Shell Tank Training Center before. He shared a lot of driving experience with us.
First Practice: Testing of ABS
We were asked to drive at the speed of 60km, and were asked to pedal on our brake to the maximum to test the ABS built in our car. After this, we were asked to do the same braking while steering our car to aside to avoid our car from banging the barrier (the barrier is just the cones, hahahaha)... With this, we able to feel and experience the power of ABS in our car. When the maximum braking is made, and triggered ABS, there's a sound of brake and tyres. This practice sounded easy but in fact it's quite tough.
Second Practice: Steering and Slalom Test
We were asked to drive in a pre-designed path to pratice our right way of steering, with 9-3 o'clock hand position and Cross Steer. Instructor will be seeing us on how to steer our car and correcting us by sending instruction to us thru the walkie-talkie that was placed in our car. So we will listen to his instruction and practice. This is not a too hard for us to learn.
Third Practice: Skid a Car with EPS
The most exciting and scary practice for us, was the one that we have to drive and try to skid the car. For this exercise, we were using SDAC provided car, is a Ford Focus. We experienced the car handling without EPS on and with EPS on. It a big difference with EPS on, where it shown us how traction control works to stabilize the car and recover the car from its sideway motion. This is the toughest practice to us yet is the mose exciting and interesting practice we have done.

Overall this is a beneficial program I have attended, it came with a certificate of attendance, plus a goodie bag with a 1 polo t, 1 t-shirt, 1 table calendar, 1 thumb drive, 1 notepad and 1 ford focus model (soft toy type). I found it's worth with the RM50 I paid for the program.
Here, this is my lovely fofi that I never disclosed in my blog... See, nice car right?
