Malaysiaku, keluargaku
“Chong Wei! Pi depan naikkan bendera!” Selalu jgak I kena tegur cikgu disiplin, kantoi borak dgn member time perhimpunan sekolah. Sengaja I main naik bendera laju-laju sebelum tamat lagu Negaraku. Kawan-kawan gelak sambil nyanyi. Cikgu disiplin nak marah tapi tak boleh lagu Negaraku masih jalan. Kenangan nakal Chong Wei. Ha!
Dua puluh tahun kemudian, kami tengah warm-up di stadium Rio centro Pavilion, dalam persiapan menghadapi sukan Olimpik. Motivasi masa itu memang setinggi Gunung Kinabalu. Diminta training yang lagi insensif. Malang sungguh tak berbau, dalam satu pukulan lift, raket terpukul tangan kiri. Tergemam semua. I ingat mungkin fracture patah tangan kiri aku. Nasib baik selepas diperiksa doktor, tulang selamat tapi perlu dibalut ais untuk meredakan bengkak.
Petang tu, kami team Malaysia semua beransur ke Stadium Maracana. Perempuan pakai baju kebaya oren. Lelaki pakai songkok dan baju Melayu oren. Memang team paling ensem paling lawa malam tu. Pihak penganjur datang membawa bendera Malaysia. CDM Tan Sri Mohamed Al Amin Abd Majid mengajukan jari kepada saya. Budak nakal yg suka main bendera inilah pembawa bendera khas negara temasya itu.
Baru ingat nak main kibar bendera mcm wayang perang Samurai, terus jam. Amboi! Berat juga si Jalur Gemilang ni! Sakit sangat tangan kiri I nak angkat. Diperhatikan kesukaran saya oleh rakan sepasukan, ada yang suruh saya rehat, biar orang lain yang bawa bendera.
“Chong Wei, anak saya tengah tunggu depan tv, nak tengok you bawa kita masuk stadium”, kata pula Muhaimin pegawai rasmi pasukan. Tidak mungkin saya menghampakan jutaan rakyat Malaysia di rumah. Game memang penting, tanggung jawab terhadap Jalur Gemilang dan Negara lagilah penting. Saya pun minta Sue Bock dapatkan pita selofan dan balutkan tiang bendera dengan tangan I. Biar tambah sekongan dan supaya tidak terlepas bendera kita nanti.
Beberapa minit sebelum perarakan masuk ke dalam stadium, sempat juga saya berborak ngan kontijen Madagasgar yang beratur di depan kami.
“Cantik bendera kamu, tapi rumit. Tak seperti bendera kita, simple je”. Entah dari mana datangnya semangat, pandai pula saya jawab. “Brother, ini bukan sekadar bendera. Ia lambang perpaduan satu keluarga besar. Ia Negara saya. Ia satu tempat di mana keharmonian dan kebahagian dihargai and dikecapi. Ia keluarga saya, rumah syurga saya.”
Kemudian, mulalah perakaran team Malaysia ke dalam Stadium Maracana. Terbasah sikit jugak di mata. Bukanlah kerana sakit di tangan, tetapi kebanggaan menjulang bendera Malaysia, menjulang harapan jutaan rakyat Malaysia, menjulang nama negaraku, rumahku, Malaysiaku.
Selamat Hari Jadi ke-63, Malaysiaku. 🇲🇾

My Malaysia, my Home
“Chong Wei! Stop being so naughty! Go raise the flag!” That’s the punishment I always got from my disciplinarian teacher during my early secondary school days, when we were caught laughing during the severely boring daily school assembly. While some of my cohorts were laughing sheepishly in their line, I would have to tie the flag correctly to the pole, and slowly raised it up during the anthem. Sometimes I admit, I used to raise it up even before the first half of the anthem ended, to see the crowd burst into laughter and to see the veins of the head of my angry headmistress!
Fast forward twenty years . On a sunny morning in Rio de Janiero. 5th August 2016. We went to the Riocentro Pavilion to have our venue familiarization. I was pretty hyped up. I knew I have to beat Lin Dan and Chen Long to win gold. I requested Hendrawan to increase the intensity that morning. Seu Bock was serving the shuttle to Hendrawan and another sparring partner for them to rain smashes at me. Defending one of the shots, I lost my grip and my racquet hit my left hand.
Team doctor came and luckily it was not broken. But it was pretty sore and I couldn’t lift my left hand. Doctor advised to wrap in ice bags the whole night and hopefully the sore will be gone the next day.
Evening came. The whole Malaysian Olympic went into the Maracana stadium, dressed sharply in our national costumes. We lined up behind the Madagascar team. Someone then brought in our Jalur Gemilang. Our CDM Tan Sri Mohamed Al Amin Abd Majid then pointed to my direction, for me being the flagbearer. I grabbed the pole. “Oh my God !” I let go a silent shout! Little did I knew it was that heavy! I felt so ashamed. My left hand really felt a sharp pain.
Some of my teammates saw my grimace. “Chong Wei, just rest! Let others hold the flag”, one teammate advised. I was fighting in my mind. My upcoming tournament is important, but so is my flag. My teammates all went silent. I could see into their eyes. They wanted me to carry the flag. Then one official Muhaimin came to me and woke me up “Chong Wei, my son is waiting to see you to carry the flag in.” I knew I couldn’t disappoint them. I asked Seu Bock to bring me an invisible tape and tied the pole to my hands, providing extra support during the march-in.
Holding the pole in front of the line waiting to march in, a Madagascar athlete from the group in front had a small chat with me. He asked “You have a nice flag there, Mr Lee. Ours is more simple. Why is the complexity?”
My pride burst out suddenly. “This is no normal flag, my friend. This a symbol of unity of a great family. This is my country. This is a place where smiles and happiness happen for the simplest reason. This is my family. This is my home.”
The rest is history. You might notice the watery eyes in the photo. No more due to the pain in the left hand. Only tears of pride. I carried the flag proudly in the march in. Carrying in the flag. Carrying in the hope of my Malaysia. Carrying in the smiles of my 31 million big family. Carrying in … my home.
Happy 63rd Birthday, Malaysia.
我的国，我的家

马来西亚独立63年了，今年大家都不容易，希望疫情尽快过去，我相信只要全民团结一致，明天一定会更好，祝马来西亚国庆日快乐。🇲🇾
มนุษย์เป็นสิ่งซับซ้อน

มีเพื่อนบางคนที่เฮฮาตอนอยู่กับเรา แต่พออยู่ต่อหน้าคนอื่นกลับเงียบเชียบเคร่งขรึม บางคนอยู่ในบ้านเป็นคนดุ พูดจาโผงผาง พอออกจากบ้านกลับกลายเป็นคนสุภาพอ่อนหวาน บางคนเคยพูดไว้ว่าจะไม่ทำสิ่งนี้เด็ดขาด เวลาผ่านไปกลับกลายเป็นว่า ทำได้หน้าตาเฉย
เราพบเห็นเรื่องราวเช่นนี้อยู่ตลอดเวลา สิ่งที่ตามมาคือความสับสนว่า ตกลง "มึงเป็นคนยังไง"
...Continue ReadingHumans are complicated.
---
There are some friends who are funny when they are with us, but when they are in front of others, they are in the house. Some people are like they are like they are like they leave the house, they become polite. Some people once said they won't do this. Time has passed. It turns out that I can do it.
We see stories like this all the time. What follows is confusion that " what you are
Confusion in the personality that turns upside down or today. Tomorrow is another way. It hurts us down with that person.
I invite you to put the right-wrong thing first, but I want to think what makes us 'upset' with the volatility of people.
The answer that I get from myself is that we have expectations that people must have a predictable personality. We often try to ' limit ' or create that person's definition ' in mind.
We often make humans become ' simple ' beings because the nature of our brain doesn't like complexity, so we try to ' summarize ' things to understand whether this is like this or this person is like this person.
...
The problem is that our 'summary' is always coming back to hurt themselves.
Because human beings are too complicated to conclude by a few definitions.
We can't limit anyone with narrow words, such as he is good, he is honest, gentle, gentle, he is simple, he is funny or evil, he is a bad person. He is a bad person. He is a cuddle girls. He is a savage, etc. Definition that we limit the experience we have touched by that person.
There are many aspects that we don't know or even that person doesn't know that they have that side in us. But when the situation changes, he is changed.
A good man becomes a bad person as much as a bad person. For one may be good for another.
Humans are never still and complicated
...
Like this, what we can do to degrade disappointment is to expand the definition for one person. If you ever draw a narrow line, you should be ' space ' for ' for ' he doesn't know yet know ' For it too.
Do this often, we will be 'shocked' by human personality. The more often change with our hearts, the more we accept this nature of human beings.
Preparing our heart doesn't make his fault, but disappointments in our heart is less. Think -- Well, humans are like this.
...
Humans are not still. We will have a headache and crack if we try to lock someone in a ' frame ' or ' that we have draft ' just because we want to see him like that.
Keep an eye on the possibilities in him and absorb the truth of life that we can't understand anyone easily. Even we can change into something we haven't portrayed. Even we are with one person. We are like one. Another one, isn't it?
Expecting 'stillness' from human beings is the source of pain and disappoint
When learning through the experience of watching this complexity in our friends around us, we live with less panic.
When someone is not what they think, instead of asking "why can it be like that It becomes" Oh, it can be like this too
Those who accept human complexities are less hurt by human beings.
Smile, accept, think in mind -- humans are so complicated.Translated
Recipe at: http://www.themeatmen.sg/tomato-eggs
It is a dish you rarely see on menus, yet tomato and eggs are a classic staple of Chinese home cooking. Tomatoes, eggs and spring onions may seem like simple, basic ingredients but the subtle complexity of this dish is often overlooked as it is such a humble and easy-to-cook dish. Have you ever taken a bite of tomato and eggs and wondered how the eggs manage to taste like tangy tomatoes, yet is still fluffy? Although tomato and eggs seem like an easy omelette thrown in together the pan right off the bat, these two ingredients are actually cooked separately to retain its respective textures.
In our recipe, the tomatoes are firstly stir fried with fragrant spring onions and thickened with a cornflour slurry. Then the beaten eggs are gently, but not fully, cooked on their own until creamy, before the tomato mixture is added in. This allows the half scrambled eggs to absorb the rich, robust tomato juices to create that amazing combination of texture and flavour.
To some, tomato and eggs may taste like nostalgia, and to those who are curious of how real Chinese comfort food tastes like - try a heaping scoop of aromatic tomato and eggs over steaming hot rice!

Five Ways to Improve Your Listening Skills
Maintain eye contact
It shows others that you are paying attention.
Match their eye contact to not be creepy.
Some people love eye contact. Others prefer to look away from time to time. Depends on the other party
Another way to show that you are listening is to lean in with your ear
Take Notes
This will reinforce your memory. It’s advisable to ask permission first in some situations.
This is good for when you meet someone more successful than you.
Ask: Do you mind if I take notes?
Shows respect and makes them feel valued.
Allow people to finish their own sentences
No matter how enthusiastically you want to jump into the conversation.
Doing so will indicate respect for what the person is saying.
Let them finish their sentence and then ask. Would you like my feedback?
Is what you have to say more important to the person speaking?
Respond so the other person knows you’re listening.
Your response maybe “Yes” or “I see” or merely nodding your head. Any of these will do.
I see where you are coming from
That is profound
I wish I could do what you do
Ask core questions.
That is typically a series of “why” questions that go deeper into a particular subject to gain the greatest understanding of a situation. Start with broad information and continue seeking more specific responses.
Ask core questions – So you don’t get a yes or no answer
Why is that important? How can I help?
What’s preventing you from moving forward?
Asking them profound questions. Questions shift belief/change lives.
These may seem simple but complexity is the enemy of execution. If you think these sound like common sense, first ask yourself “How many people do you know that do all this? How would it transform your life if you did?” If you do it, you will stand out. People will like you but they won’t know why. It’s subconscious.

Recipe at: http://www.themeatmen.sg/pan-fried-tofu-with-korean-sauce
Our mouthwatering Pan-fried Tofu with Korean sauce is astonishingly easy to make, is chock full of flavour yet barely registers on the calorie count - just in time to rescue you from those festive indulgences!
The tofu is first cut into succulent slabs and seared to a crispy golden brown. For our recipe, we highly recommend using Vitasoy Organic Sprouted Pressed Tofu so you get that perfect crust on the outside and firm smoothness inside without much handling thanks to the Nigiri-seawater extracts. It also has 25% higher calcium content than the average bear, which you can benefit from.
To go along with the tofu, we made a mild & tangy Korean Sauce combining several choice condiments. You’ll be amazed at how simple they are, yet how well they work together - The minced garlic and spring onions lift the sauce, the sesame oil and soy sauce lend a fine aromatic complexity. Gochugaru red pepper zings with its spicy, sweet and smoky vibrancy, the toast sesame seeds add a nutty overlay and the anchovy dashi powder brings a robustness that pulls the sauce together. Add a touch of sugar for a hint of sweetness, and our sauce is good to go!
Spoon generously over the tofu and serve up nice and hot. A delicious delight for two that you can enjoy while keeping the bad drama out of your house while you catch all the good drama on your TV screens.
