Don’t you agree?
Took this photo in autumn 2007. Lovely momiji tree (maple tree) in Japan.
We brought Megumi for her first autumn experience also…
She inherits some pretty genes from her mother…Â
Of course, not forgetting photo of myself taken by my wife also…
and of course some “Quality” genes from me too… Â
…and there have this restaurant in the middle of the “jungle”…good hot ramen in the cold autumn…
(we did not try it though…)
Autumn is beautiful in Japan! ![]()

In Chinese tradition, the day before Chinese New Year is a very important reunion for family members. Today, here in Japan my wife, Megumi and I have a good reunion here in our little home. Last year I was alone in Japan…
Chinese New Year 2008 - nien 30 on 6th Feb 2008.
My wife wake up early in the morning to prepare the food - big fest - for our little family.
Here’s some of the dishes…no, don’t ask me how to prepare…maybe Lydia can add that later…
While I was busy taking photos…my wife said…not yet lah…still got one…
(the soup in the middle…5 dishes one soup!)
Not forgetting my wife’s favorite…Coca-Cola…in “romantic” glass…
Finally…before we start enjoy our food (must pray and thank to God)…family photo first…
Notice our little ShaShinKi.com very own angpow? Megumi is hungry for it!
Happy Chinese New Year to all!

Chinese New Year is around the corner…in Malaysia, I am sure people (Chinese) are busy doing shopping now. This coming weekend should very crowded in shopping malls.
My wife told me I should change and update ShaShinKi logo to reflect CNY now…Christmas has long gone. Yeah…after server back online, I did the logo design two days ago and here’s the result, two versions:
Front page (large one with 700px width):
Shop (smaller one with 500px width):
For the shop version, I can’t use the long word of “FU” (which means prosperous in Chinese) because it will make the header too big, taking up too much space and not so nice. So I shrink the word. Besides that, do you notice any other difference? Yes…there is…look carefully…
No animation type this round as I find it a bit distracting and not so professional look.
Happy Chinese New Year to all my friends and family! ![]()

My wife was very busy on 03 January 2008 since early morning.
In traditional Chinese culture, we eat “shou mian”, drumstick and red egg during birthday.
Yes, my wife took the trouble to colour the eggs to red.
Then in the evening, my wife baked a birthday cake for me…
Early stage…
Icing dressing! Yes, must have icing else can’t call birthday cake…
Megumi also join “eye-sharing”. She touched the cake/icing actually “on purpose”.
Wordings…dedicated to…me lah…who else?!
See!
Finally, family photo!
Thank you, dear. Thank God for my lovely and caring wife, my dear megumi and my family back in Malaysia and my sister in UK. In Jesus name I thanked.
———————
Eh…forgot to mention…where is my birthday present? Yes, there is one. My wife asked me long ago…and I make it clear…yes, I want a Nikon D3.
Here come D3…made in Japan by my wife. One and only in the world…
(To ShaShinKi.com customer. Don’t worry, you will not receive the above D3 if you ordered one at ShaShinKi.com…I promised…

Are you ready to catch the Leopard? Just launched yesterday…
Am I upgrading? Nah…though I have a macBook with Dual Core Processor and 2GB RAM, I am not going to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. I don’t use my macBook that much. The money spent isn’t worth for me.
Price? (USD)
There is no upgrade price. So, even if you have Tiger now and want to upgrade to Leopard, you are as if buying a new OS and get the Tiger scrapped. According to Apple website, there are over 300 new features on Leopard. I watched the Tour Guides (for PC, you need to install Quick Time), it does looks impressive.
You can order online directly at Apple online store:

I started to read The Bible Scriptures together with Megumi everyday since last week.
Yesterday, we have read the Proverbs 3: 1~10. I loved this Words especially the verses no 5~7, which becomes my guidance to teach Megumi one day when she starts understand more things. And also my prayers to God that our family will fear the Lord in all things we do. Here the Scriptures say:
” Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make y our paths straight,
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. ”
I also pray to Lord that one day, Megumi could share her findings after reading the Bible. Now, seems like she only can “look look and see see” the Bible.
Yet, still I was moved by her “serious face”, how about you?
Megumi:” Have you read the Bible today?”

Today marks the exact two years I am in Japan. I arrived in Japan on 4th Oct 2005, together with my wife.
Today, God has blessed me with Megumi and my wife is still here by my side to take care of me and our whole family.
God’s grace has been overflowed…we have nothing less, more than enough than what we have ever imagine. God has blessed us in my study, my family, my business, my friends, my brothers and sisters.
Life in Japan is like a dream…soon I will be leaving…soon I might come back again…God’s grace and guidance is always the best. I just want to say…
Thank you, Lord!

Megumi is 17 days old as of today (30th June 2007). Thanks to my lovely wife and my mum who both took deep care of her, she is growing healthily and strongly. Thanks God for protecting her as well, and thanks many brothers and sisters who pray for my family.
Here’s some photos to share with you all…

My wife and I have decided on the car to get - Toyota WISH!
We have found a car from a Kyoto shop. Quite far from Hiroshima and I do not plan to go there to check out the car. I have contacted the seller (shop), and the president of the shop has sent me some photos of the car. Here are the front and back view of the car:
The car is nearly 3 years old (June 2004 registration) and has around 20,000km driving mileage. No accident/repair history (but the president told me the rear bumper has been repaired, small accident I guess…which I do not understand fully), comes with TV/DVD/Navigator (not sure if it is original Toyota, if so it will cost JPY150,000 new! Yes, I asked before in a Toyota shop).
Though previously I thought of NOT getting WISH, but then I can’t find another car that I like…personally I do not like to get Oddysey anymore, as the new version is too expensive while the older version (design) is not to my liking.
I like WISH more and more after giving some thought about it.
1. 1800 cc engine means quite low fuel consumption and low roadtax.
2. 7 seaters car. When I need the spaces for passengers, it can sure accommodate them. My 2nd sister and her husband, and my elder sister might be coming to visit me in Japan end of this year or next year, together with my wife, my coming baby (June 2007) and myself, there are 6 person already. A normal sedan might be too tight and small for all. So this WISH is just nice!
3. I think the deal I found for the WISH above is quite good price. I have to pay JPY1,100,000 to the shop, and perhaps add another JPY10 for insurance, tax and registration. Total should be still less than JP1,300,000. I actually have found another grey colour WISH at a local shop at where I live, but the price is very high at JPY1,680,000 (including everything, on the road). Without Navigator or TV or DVD or Radio (empty), though only a year old car with 3000km mileage, but the price is too much of what I would like to pay. My wife do not like the price as well.
4. WISH selling price in Japan is JPY1,8xx,xxx. Meaning that when I brought it back to Malaysia next year, Malaysia tax will be based on that selling price. As compared to Oddysey which original selling price is over JPY2millions, I think I will not have to pay high tax for the WISH.
5. My father said WISH is too common in Malaysia, no point buying. However, I think common car is good, no so eye catching and will not be a target of thief or robber, though I still have to be careful when back to Malaysia as it is still consider a better than average (or luxury) car.
Today, I will go and pay the money to the shop for the WISH car. Still need to go and settle the car parking thing, as need to find and rent a car park before I can go register the WISH under myname. The shop will send the car to my place.
Hopefully by next week I will have a “brand new” car that I bought for my family! Thank God for providing me more than enough (overwhelming GRACE!).
Good night…

This might be the last time I am seeing my beloved pastor - Hayashi sensei - in Japan. Today went to church at 8am to help moving house. Though I do not know him well, but his messages in church and his family and Megumi church have been a big blessing to me and my wife in Japan.
Pastor Hayashi has been serving in Megumi church for more than 10 years. Many people cried during his last service on 25th March 2007, I was in Scotland during that time but my wife called me about the church service. I am glad that I can meet him again today.
To Hayashi sensei, wherever you go, may God bless you and your family and be with you all always!
