Mother Teresa - A Tribute
Got this (unknown sourced) compilation in the mail today. Someone so thoughtfully put this together as a tribute to one of the most admired personalities of our time, Mother Teresa, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her humanitarian work. For those of us who know little about this wonderful personality, this compilation is insightful.

Nothing is Going to Spoil This Moment
Many of you might have read or seen the video of "Conversations with God". Here's another profound moment from its author, Neale Donald Walsch.
"Nothing is going to spoil this moment...Imagine making that
decision: nothing's going to spoil this moment. Now, imagine making that decision about a relationship, job, day in the week, or...whatever. Imagine applying that idea uniformly in your life."
--Neale Donald Walsch,
author of Conversations with God.
It is such a simple thing...
This choosing to embrace the unspoiled in every aspect of our lives.
So simple, yet so profound.
And it is a decision we each can choose to make.
May you decide to allow nothing to spoil this day.
And may you always be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.
Experience an audio and visual presentation of today's Heartfelt Blessing.
Be Blessed!

Forgetfulness
It's amazing how people (ladies in particular) have never-ending topics to talk about anytime. Our topic at lunch today was forgetfulness and we shared some hilarious experiences. Oops!! Then as if by some unknown force, some jokes along the same line came in the mail. How weird! Disclaimer: These are just jokes so any similarity to any experience(s) or person(s) is purely co-incidental.
Two elderly women were eating breakfast in a restaurant one morning. Ethel noticed something funny about Mabel's ear and she said,
"Mabel, do you know you've got a suppository in your left ear?"
Mabel answered, "I have a suppository in my ear?"
She pulled it out and stared at it. Then she said, "Ethel, I'm glad you saw this thing. Now I think I know where to find my hearing aid."
When the husband finally died his wife put the usual death notice in the paper, but added that he died of gonorrhea.
No sooner were the papers delivered when a friend of the family phoned and complained bitterly,
"You know very well that he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea."
Replied the widow, "I nursed him night and day so of course I know he died of diarrhea, but I thought it would be better for posterity to remember him as a great lover rather than the big shit he always was."
A funeral service is being held for a woman who had recently passed away.
At the end of the service, the pall bearers are carrying the casket out when they accidentally bump into a wall, jarring the casket.
They hear a faint moan. They open the casket and find that the woman is actually alive!
She lives for ten more years, and then dies.
Once again, a funeral is held, and at the end of it, the pall bearers are again carrying out the casket.
As they carry the casket towards the door, the husband cries out,
"Watch that wall!"
Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures.
Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards.
One day they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said,
"Now don't get mad at me.... I know we've been friends for a long time..... but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is."
Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"
THE SENILITY PRAYER
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.
Now, I think you're supposed to send this to 5 or 6, maybe 10.
Oh well, send it to a bunch of your friends if you can remember who they are.
Then something is supposed to happen . . . I think, so anyway!

The Birth of Mankind
Based on the Lunar Calendar, today is the seventh day of the new year. According to Chinese legend, the seventh day is the birth of mankind and this is normally celebrated with a family get-together, a lavish dinner if you will. So, Happy Birthday, Everyone!
One Account Mortgage
Have you heard about the One Account Mortgage? I hear it's a great way to save money on a mortgage. The regular mortgage that we are accustomed to is just a big debt that we take time to pay it off and in the meantime, it accumulates interest.
Now there is a One Account Mortgage that allows us to pay off the mortgage sooner. How this works is that it allows the mortgage to be combined with our normal current account and monthly salary and the latter two are offset against the mortgage balance. I think this is a great idea as the extra funds will help to reduce the mortgage sum thus reducing on interest payment. Plus, extra savings built up can be counted towards the mortgage further reducing the interest.
Another one of its benefits is that it allows complete flexibility in managing your finances. You can overpay to clear your mortgage quicker, or underpay or even take a break from your payments if you need to. This account also works as a current account plus providing a host of other benefits.

Malaysia to ban fast food adverts
Recently, the Health Minister raised the issue of banning fast food advertisements citing that fast food is the silent killer and have contributed to affluent diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. And they are talking about imposing a 'sin tax' soon. I think the move by the Ministry to focus on wellness programmes is the way to go.
Shop around for the Right Credit Card
Many young people come out into society from universities and colleges every year. After awhile they soon realise the need for a credit card to elevate their status. How would they know which credit card to pick? Mostly, they would jump at any credit card offer that comes along but the more discerning would shop around before they commit.
There are different types of credit cards that cater to different needs. What do you look for in a card? If you need some emergency cash for a short term, the 0% Purchase Credit Card would be perfect. Instead of taking out a high interest loan, use the credit card and for the first 6 months take advantage of the 0% interest rate offer. Used correctly, this type of credit card can save you interest.
Another card that can save one money on interest is to sign up for a 0% balance transfer credit card. Transfer the balance from the existing card into the new credit card that offers 0% interest on the balance transferred. This will save one on interest.
Shop around for the best card that suits your needs whether it's balance transfers, cash back, 0% on purchases, cards with rewards, travel reward cards or low APR cards.
