I am not talking about registering for General Elections. If you have not then you can't anyway. I am talking about saving lives - signing up for organ donation. Some people told me it's a big deal, of course it is. To the people who need it most, it's a big deal. But once I pass on, it's no big deal so I signed up and you should too. After all, whats the problem? You can't bring it to grave anyway. Why waste it and feed the worms? And I believe saving lives and making it charitable trumphs any religion beliefs etc, all religion teaches us to be kind and helpful anyway You can just fill up a form here http://www.mst.org.my/donorreg.html but you need to print out and snail mail BECAUSE they need your signature, after all this is serious stuff.

Help

I've been supporting Kiva - a non profit organisation in micro financing, in laymen term - they use my money which I contributed like around USD15 (and many other USD15 from people who donated/or loaned) to help people from all over the world who are usually rejected from getting loans because they are high risk. People who are really poor who needs little money to turn their life around - a few hundred to set up a small store, buy a goat or cow etc etc and they will need to pay the loan back. Once paid back, the money will go back to me and I can choose to pass it on to another person as a loan. So essentially, we are not feeding them fish but giving them the means to buy a rod so that they will learn and continue to fish for themselves. This can break the cycle of poverty and also change lives. Only for as low as USD15. I mean what is USD15 for most of us? What a wonderful idea!!! LIKE!!!! Try it for yourself. It's only USD15.

All this talk of Christmas and me deco-ing my blog has gotten me into the winter wonderland mood. What more, I have begin to irritate my colleagues by playing Mimi’s All I Want For Christmas (well, technically someone asked for it). In the midst of all this, I had this big yearning (as I was telling someone about it) to just don on a cute little red cardigan (which I don’t own) with this cuter black skinny tie (which I don’t own as well) over my slim fitting white long sleeved shirt. I know it’s really hot here in Malaysia and I guess I didn’t realised that I was channeling the old Beckham here. I had an instant urge to just get down to Starbucks and order my favorite drinks and just hang with the girls. I am unsure about the smoking part because somehow it just doesn’t go with the mental visual. Anyhow all I managed to do was just get home (rather angry cause stuck in the jam) and had dinner. Over dinner, mum was telling me about this sick cat outside the house and how she managed to ...
