to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch
(MADE IN TAIWAN )
to the radio (MADE IN INDIA ) (from Saudi Arabia )
and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his

John decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals

poured himself a glass of wine

and turned on his TV

and then wondered why he can’t find a good paying job in AMERICA
AND NOW HE’S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT MADE IN KENYA, Originally Born African, Managing Americans (OBAMA)
Every day we are inundated with the dreaded “R” words – recession and retrenchment. With many people being jobless, they can start considering pushcart peddling in shopping malls. And the rental is about RM1,500 to RM3,000 per month – way cheaper than shopping lots that cost in the 5 figures payment. Some of the pushcart owners are earning about $15k to $20k in good times and break even in bad times such as this. All you need is to sign up for every 3 months rental and renewable thereafter. You can also source your products from China like sterling silver, semi-precious stones made into bracelets, rings, or sell funky pens like the ones on 2nd Floor of Gurney Plaza and children’s watches. There are many items to consider and this is one of the ways to earn in these difficult economic times.
Paul Blart (Kevin James) is a single, suburban dad trying to make ends meet as a security officer at a New Jersey mall. It’s a job he takes very seriously, though no one else does.
When Santa’s helpers at the mall stage a coup, shutting down the megaplex and taking hostages (Paul’s daughter and sweetheart among them), Jersey’s most formidable mall cop will have to become a real cop to save the day.
The Malaysian government is hesitant to admit that the global recession has reached our shores and we are in fact in a technical recession. This happens when the country’s exports no longer see any growth and it is projected to be 0 to 1% this year. Therefore, it is time to save money and not to spend lavishly. This means eating out less often, watching tv at home instead of going to the movies and staying at home instead of travelling to save on gasoline. And this might just make me sell my entire used stamp collection and gold coins given to me during Chinese New Year in Singapore by my uncle previously and sell them through eBay.
From my personal experience and after attending so many churches, the most annointed church (in the world also) is New Creation Church. This is because a lot of healing takes place and you hear testimonies after testimonies of people being healed and come to Jesus. It is also from this church that I learnt the true meaning of the Holy Communion – the wine which represents the blood of Jesus to take away your sins and the bread which represents Jesus’ body to remove your sickness and disease. There are testimonies of terminal and hopeless cases being healed when relative partake the holy communion in the hospital to the amazement of the doctors when the patient gets healed from cancer, wakes up from a coma, etc. When you partake the Holy Communion, you need to take it with faith and not to try and see if it works. Recently, I took the Holy Communion at a friend’s relative’s place as she was diagnosed with third stage cancer of the uterus. There is resurrection power of Jesus in taking the Holy Communion.
Yesterday was Easter Sunday and my church in Georgetown Baptist Church put up a wonderplay play with a short movie of the Passion of Christ showing Jesus before his crucifixion. It is also a time to forgive previous grievances and hurts done by others. Easter is to celebrate the resurrection power of Jesus when he died at the cross and he is now alive in Heaven. One day, when all Christians die, they will reunite in heaven and stay there for eternity – which is a very very long time. While it is better to stay in heaven where there is no sorrow, pain or death, it is good to make ourselves useful here on here promoting the Kingdom of God by preaching to our loved ones so that they can be saved from eternal damnation in hell and by tithing.
