Reign : My First Guitar!

We promised to buy a guitar for our son, Reign Wong :-)


One day, Alison brought Reign around to shop for a toy guitar.

After several searches, they have finally found it at D One Mart. As they were walking towards the guitar, Reign ran towards it.


He grabbed the toy, feeling so touched and almost crying, "Thank you, mummy!!"

The toy is RM 30, and a real guitar is RM 120. It does not worth it. Perhaps, we should look for another guitar.


Reign hugged his mum!!

And, kept repeating this, "THANK YOU, MUMMY".


Alison bought it. Hahaha..

Reign believed in his mum so much that she had decided to make it happen. :-)


Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours, Mark 11:24.

Happy New Year 2011 :-)
By the way, he was holding a shovel instead of a guitar above.

Gary Wong, It will be a long walk

Today has been a beautiful day.



I look out of the window and see beautiful sunshine across the field :-)
Wonder how's your morning. Must be pretty busy there. Iife in KL isnt as easy.

Actually taking up the path towards the goal of entrepreneurship isnt easy. I have so much to learn from you being an experienced businessman for 5 years. You must have gone through lots of hardship. I am now on a crossroad to choose on a path that best suit me and my ability. I need to persevere. Been wondering how life has treated you throughout the period too :-)


I am still in the midst of writing some terms and conditions for the voucher system. Additionally, the voucher system programming has been progressing pretty well. I hope to complete it soon. Then, it would come a chance to shine. Sincerely, i was not sure of the popularity of the system yet. Nonetheless, i have set my goal and have pursued for more than 2 years on this. I ought to have faith in my sight and God's blessings. I am walking towards it

Yesterday, i took a break off and walked from home to one of my favourite beaches (there are many beaches around Labuan). Surprisingly, It is much further than i thought. Especially during the commencement of the walk, i almost gave up and returned because it seems like a walk that is going to take forever. Yet, i told myself that i have already set the goal and i am going to finish it. Additionally, i wish to reach the beach before sunset.


Along the way, i encountered dogs. In fact, many dogs from different houses. I carefully avoided them and insisted through the barks and ferocious cars towards my goal. The scorching sun has not been very friendly. It kept my body burning, yet it has reminded me that i have a goal. I have walked uphills and downhills so much so that i began to feel the ache of my legs.

"Thanks for being my legs, we just need to walk on. I hope you will become stronger too".



Finally i have seen the glimpse of the beach. The goal is half done. To reward my legs and myself, i ordered a coconut and watched the beach for a while. It was almost sunset and the sky is turning dim but i am happy that i reached there before the sky turned dark. It was a 1.5 hours walk.



Looking back to the tiring path i came from. I wonder if i should just look around for someone familiar to drive me back home. Alternatively, there is a much shorter short cut back too. I am deciding how i wanna do it.


Undoubtedly, i have chosen the silly path to walk back where i came from. Immediately from the beginning of the walk, my legs have already been aching. I even wonder if i can finish it. However, i wont know my limits until i have tried it.

"Sorry legs, but we just have to do it. Hang on, together we will do it"



The walk is painful and rather emotional. There are so much thoughts going through my mind. Nonetheless, the sky is beautifully yellowish, pinkish and bluish. I walked on across the uphills and downhills. Returning is harder than going since my legs are already exhausted. I met the dogs again. A few new ones this time. A few followed me, and a few barked at me through the gates. Along, i have met a lot of strangers too. A woman even thought i might be a potential robbers walking behind her and her son.

At the same time, i have found some rubber seeds and snail which i have picked up for my children. They would have loved it. I have seen so much along the path which i have never have thought of seeing when i was driving. Many houses are actually having some renovations. It makes me wonder if the economy has gone any better. I have seen some people playing futsel as well. It was not really than painful anymore. I have seen beautiful things along the painful path.



Just as i thought the next hills or curves is going to reach my place, i am still very far from it. Especially the last uphill, i can hardly forget it. It seems much easier when i walked out from there but it is so steep that i felt so struggled to complete it. Quite a few times, i stopped and rested my legs. I almost gave up but i kept telling myself that i cant stop for too long. Otherwise, i wont reach home - my ultimate goal


After the hill, i have finally seen my home. I am happy yet i could not bring myself to walk on any faster, i am just too tired now. My whole body has been aching. Thanks God that i am home. It has taken me 2 hours to return. Altogether, it was a 3.5 hours long walk uphills and downhills.

I relate this to the journey of my entrepreneurship. I think that's probably what i am going to experience. I will pursue.


I hope this story encourage you too.
Let's keep each other walking :-)

Yours sincerely,
Gary Wong

Let's Swim

We did not swim for weeks



It has been raining for quite a bit lately.

Finally, the sun is on our side. Let's swim!


We even invited Wei Han to join us for the swim.

He is a regular swimmer unlike me. LOL


Most of the time, we have been swimming just to and fro along the width of the pool.

Will and Reign seem to enjoy it just as much :-)


I feel great being a father.

Everyday, i will exercise my power to bring in greater happiness to my family. Swimming is undoubtedly one of those best things that we should do more often. :-)


Alison : There is nothing better than the smiles of our children. It's priceless :-)

Gary : I agreed :-)


If we have no time for our own children, we are probably too busy already
