2. Since I am in Bali, I will not be able to activate my wealth star tomorrow Friday : (
For those of you who are interested in using feng shui to attract wealth, you can activate your wealth star between 5am-7am at the NorthWest or East sector of your home (except if you have a Snake in your Bazi Chart). For more details, you can read my post Feng Shui 2010 According To Joey Yap.
Luckily for me and for those of you who cannot activate it tomorrow for whatever reason, Joey had given us another date to activate our wealth star, and that is on June 9th, 2010, so do take note! : )
3. Yippee!! I won a Sony Digital Still Camera from Standard Chartered recently. I happily went to collect the camera at The Curve yesterday.
What do you think of this camera?
But for my Bali photo shoots, I think I will stick to my trusted Panasonic Lumix LX3 : )
4. Do you like Him Heang biscuits? A friend bought me these two biscuits from the one and only Him Heang outlet in the world, which is at Jalan Burma in Penang.
On the left is the famous Tau Sar Pneah and on the right is the delicious Beh Teh Saw.
The Beh Teh Saw biscuits were individually wrapped. There were 8 pieces in a box priced at RM6.50.
I took a bite of the Beh Teh Saw and it was yummy!!
I also adore the Tau Sar Pneah or Tambun biscuits as it's popularly known. Unlike their rival Ghee Heang, Him Heang's Tau Sar Pneah are much nicer and they melt in your mouth. Simply yummy!
Here, let me magnify so you can drool over it, haha!
Each box of Tambun biscuits contains 32 pieces and is priced at RM9.50.
5. Recently I received a Thank You letter from WWF. It's always nice to receive a Thank You letter, don't you agree?
I donate to WWF every month as I believe in saving the animals and the endangered species.
And also because I am a panda. LOL!
At first, I thought donating to organizations like WWF was a waste of money because most of the money would be given to the marketing company that runs the fundraising, but it is now confirmed that WWF receives the entire amount of our donations. The marketing company only get a one time fixed fee from WWF's pre-allocated fundraising budget.
So if you like to donate and save the animals, please click HERE.
6. Recently, I received a surprise gift from blogger Ladyviral. She's now in Singapore so it's no wonder she sent me this!
It's a Merlion keychain! Thanks for the gift and the nicely written letter, Ladyviral! : )

7. Ello how come this time I did not see any invitation for bloggers to go with you to Bali?
Been to Bali 4 years ago. The weather there was SO TERRIBLY HOT. But managed to survive. haha. Nice beach.
hey foong, you really are very keen on the fengshui thing huh?? but why can't you do it in Bali??
Wow...so now you are in Bali already lar bro? Good for you o. :D
Why suddenly talk about fengshui pulak? :p
ooopsss, sorry i missed out reading the keyword, you must do it at the NW or E sector of your home.. hahaha!! "pai seh"..
hmmm, i think i won't be able to do that.. because i only willing to wake up at 8am to go to work!! 5am-7am is just too early for me to wake up to do anything~~ :p
Wow...you won it from Standard Chartered? So you are not using it? Then can give it to me or not? :D
the next round would be in June 9th?? that's very long from now.. jsut curious, is 5am-7am the only good time to do this wealth star activation??
I don't really like to eat heong peng o. :p Well...because it will stick to my teeth?
next time if we have chance to meet, then i must ask you something about fengshui.. see if you can advise me on something good.. hehehehe~~ :D
Wow...you donated money to WWF too? I hesitate about donating to WWF too because well...I was worried that the money will be siphoned by someone else. :p
Wow...so you also receive the Merlion from her lar? Good o. But mine is way more beautiful than yours. :D
Aiyoh...this contest again. Surely I will lose this time. :D
Ah I MISS the heong peng from Him Heang! They are the absolute BEST heong peng in the world!!! I love love love! :)
Oh you're going to Bali for the first time eh! Must go Uluwatu and Tanah Lot ya... beautiful!
wow, how come you got a brand new camera from Stand Chart?? so good one?? i never got any freebies before from any banks lor~~
hmmmm, let me guess.. is it a redemption from your credit card points?? haha, i bet it must be so, cos banks are never so generous ever!! kekekeke :D
don't complain so much about the camera foong, since it's free ok?? and this one looks good enough to me..
btw, i heard that sony cameras are not bad and especially good in taking night mode photos.. have you tried that out yet??
hey, give me five!! i am also using panasonic lumix.. but i think my model is F15, lower class than your LX3.. but still i think it takes good quality photos.. am contented enough with that..
Wow... Bali! Enjoy the beach and the food! Wonder which hotel you're staying....
I love this Tambun biscuits and Beh teh Saw! I always buy them when I go to Penang and Malacca. I miss eating them. :(
Enjoy your Bali trip! Waiting for your post about your holiday.
hv a nice holiday!
Envy Foong. :D
This guy ah, always go holidaying one! XD
Have fun in Bali. Take plenty of photos and buy lots of souvenirs!
hey you know what?? tau sah pneah and beh teh saw are two of my favourite snacks!! and gosh, you are blogging them both at once, right in front of my eyes..
so who bought you these two boxes of pastries?? looks like you've got lots of friends who always get you things.. so envy of you..
oh is it?? Him Heang has only got one branch in the world?? i thot since they are doing so well, they must have lots of branches already, never did i expect they insisted only one shop!!
as for beh teh saw i still think the one from gunung rapat (ipoh) is the best.. when my friend or colleague goes back to hometown, i will sometimes ask them to get two pack for me.. and i can finish them by myself alone!! hehehe~~ :p
actually when it comes to these two snacks, i really don't care from where they are produced.. because to me, they are just so nice and i can't bother too much also, hahaha!! :D
so nice get free camera somemore.. never in my life i win any free gadgets.. all have to fork out money to buy.. =P
eh my fren's daddy oso won leh, but ixus 1. ur blog stuffed with too many food liao, open ur blog sure feel hungry 1. :( next time b4 read ur blog, have to eat till full then open. haha
seems like most of your readers are so Kia Su... anyway, i don't think i wanna to participate in the contest.
Have a nice trip in Bali eh~ I enjoyed my Bali Trip so much few years back :p
hahaha i comment at the wrong post wakakakaka...
of course it's always nice to receive thank you letter from somebody.. that means things you've done is appreciated, and sure you feels like wanted to donate more to WWF?? hehe~~ :)
that's a very good deed for you to donate money monthly to WWF.. is it because of the WWF logo that resembles yourself?? hehe, i mean panda, of course~~ :p
then i'm so intimated in front of you, because many times i was in shopping mall, and when people approach me for WWF donation, i'll just walk away.. hehehe :p
because i always worry that the money will not reach them.. but since you've shown the personalised thank you letter, that ensures the money does go to WWF to help save the animals..
actually i've planned to do something similar.. maybe not to WWF, but instead to UNICEF to help the children in poverty countries.. help to feed them with food and water, and also free education..
Time to activate wealth star is 5am? aiyo... past already...
see see see.. my statement above about you being popular among friends is just so right!! another gifts you received from friends..
so sweet of ladyviral also to have get you guys some souvenirs.. i think she's doing quite well in singapore, but certainly misses you a lot eih??
nice keychain with the merlion on it, and somemore with a handwritten letter.. but i guess what's nicer is actually the thought, right?? :)
hmmm, so i guess this is not the first time you got something from ladyviral right?? or did i remember wrongly that you also sent her some souvenirs before??
haha, talking about keychain, i have loads of them in my office pinned to the partition.. all from colleagues after they have gone somewhere for holidays.. it's like a tradition that we get keychains for colleagues, haha~~ :D
wow!! those "Tau Sar Pneah" really look very yummy!! can i have some?? haha ^_^
hehehe, i've already expected you to put on another contest again this time round when you are going to Bali!! and hey, i was right.. haha :D
hmmm, while i've missed the previous round when you went to Guilin, and the last round on guessing the Genting Skyway contest.. so, i think i'll actively participate this time round..
wow, so many rules being set huh?? but i think you should also set the number of words requirements in each of the comments right?? just to be fair that no one plays a trick on this..
yes, i think i'm gonna spam your blog with comments for these two posts then!! i'm very eager to get the prize from you, for at least once, hahaha!!
so wondering what are you going to get from Bali?? please don't get keychain, get something more unique and special ok?? i'm so looking forward to knowing what we'll get.. hehehehe~~ :p
Very nice posting, Foong!
Aloha from Hawaii my Friend!
Comfort Spiral
Have a great Balinese holiday bro.
Congratz for winning camera now you got two what you gonna do about it auction to the *lowest* bidder hehe?
What a relief and happy to see Him Heang and lot more shops opening in Penang. Those days becoz of monopoly we are at the mercy of Ghee Heang, have to beg and see their "face color" just for *one* box of Tau Sar Pneah. They require a three days advance reservation. I empathise with those rejected customers who would only walked out of Ghee Heang with a common universal language even Ukrainian or Australian would understand as it goes like this %$#@*&^%(*&..
Nice of LV to reward you with a Merlion keychain and keep your compassionate fire burning and the funds rolling into WWF to save the animals & endangered species. thanks.
most comment for this post? hmmm how can i do that? i will leave one comment per number
oh bali? make sure to drop by to Bali's version of Hollywood ~ the BaliWood ( i guess that's how they call it)/.... have a nice trip foong
BLUEDREAMER

FEED YOUR MIND

My auntie is a feng shui believer, she have lots of Buddha figurines in her house... She gave one to my mom last christmas
MY DAILY NEWSTAND
wow! congrats... you're so lucky. Speaking of camera.. actually i'm planning to buy one this month.. i realized that i need it for my blogs so i can share photos too...^^
MY ADVENTURE
first time to hear about Him Heang but it's sure looks good ... can you share some? hehehe
BLUE TECH
wow, now it answers my question of why you are being so lucky... that's because you have a good heart.. Keep it up foong,,, Blessings will never stop falling to you...
POSITIVE THINKING
wow that's nice...that Merlion has been a traemark already of Singapore... my cousin (who is now in Singapore too)gave me a picture frame with a Merlion curved into it.. (but that's 6-8 months ago)
TV MARATHON
yipee, may the best commentator wins hahaha.. good luck for me
OUR LITTLE CORNERS
let me count mine... ooops... this is the last comment for now, we'll be back soon... hahaha
can i have the gift without entering the contest? haiya, brother also wanna calculate with me meh? :)
I usually do not comment a lot! But this time is exception, ok? I want to win prizes from Bali!
Not bad at all at 12.1 mega pixels! You should bring it along with you to Bali. Take a shot with both cameras and compare.
I like the Tau Sar Pneah. Looks nice and delicious!
I am under the similar auto debit donation program as you. And I did receive the Thank You letter too!
But I did receive 1 more thank you letter than you cause I donate to 2 organizations, i.e. the UNICEF and NKF.
Now I know why we can click and be travel partners even we did not know each other before. Cause both of us have benevolent heart, haha! Am I right? Am I right?
Talking about WWF, did you switch off last Saturday night in Bali for Earth Hour? I did! Don't say this is unrelated as Earth Hour is organized by WWF.
Oh Merlion! I have not been to Singapore for ages liao. I last went there more than 10 years ago.
But Singapore is not in my list to visit. I think Singapore is just a shopping paradise, nothing much to offer. And I hate shopping the most!
Enjoy your Bali trip and do bring back lots of photos to share with us here!
haha my mom really woke up at 6am and activate the wealth star! Salute!
i've been to Bali before, but was like more than 5 years ago.. ah, i remembered, just one week before the tsunami!! wasn’t that scary??
i think i might be visiting Bali again.. Tanah Lot, Uluwatu, Ubud, and i think we missed one place where you see lakes and temples.. and of course we also missed out the famous babi guling!! how could we??
so, this time round you're bringing your Panasonic only?? leaving the new Sony at home?? btw, do you take photo of your own?? or you just like to take photos of your hands and legs?? haha~~ :D
hmmm, did you finish all the 8 pieces of beh teh saw and the 32 pieces of tao sah pneah by yourselfs?? wow, that's very fattening, you must ask your friend to pay for your gym membership!! haha~~ :D
hmmm, i wonder if i have left enough comments in order to win your prize?? never mind, i'll keep monitoring.. this time i allow no failure again!! yes, bravo to me!!!
if you're used to Him Heang or Ghee Heang, then you'll probably go back for them. after awhile, i realised i'm not that fussy with the biscuits & tried out other brands as well. taste the same to me & cost cheaper, too, esp the ones sold at chowrasta market.
LOL at SK and his quest to win this time. You go, SK! I know you will win a prize one this time. haha..
Foong, CONGRATS on winning the camera. Very nice..
Hey, thanks for the reminder on the wealth activation. Helpful for people interested.
Let me guess.. you must have contributed to save the panda. Kudos, Foong!
I hope you have a great holiday celebration with your family there. Congrats to win the camera. I'm waiting to see some nice photos of Bali, plz share on your blog. Your biscuits seems very tasty. I appreciate you for donating to WWF, the key chain is so beautiful.
Thanks for sharing, God bless you. Have a nice trip.
waaaahhh, everybody already posted their keychains and it feels like i'm the only one who never did =P
Bali is small, just 140 Km by 80 Km and lies between Java, and Lombok in the east. Bali has developed a world of its own
