Helping Parents Succeed
When you’re expecting next time, be careful how you name your baby.
There are rules that you can’t break.
Yes, even though it’s your baby but you can’t just name her/him as you wish.
And this includes promoting your baby to a higher ranking such as King or Queen.

Too bizarre.
Too offensive.
Here are some examples of such names: [Read more…]
Everybody has a fever. No it’s not the virus that I am talking about.
It’s the election that I am talking about. Malaysians would go for the 13th election come May 5th.

Are you kidding? A vineyard here in Malaysia?
That was my reaction when I heard about this. Having a vineyard is not possible in a tropical country like Malaysia – which is hot and humid throughout the year.
