The midnight before my wife's flight to America, she collected
all the food leftovers from her office. They have weekly
meetings where much uneaten food were thrown away! Kanasai!
So she rounded up my visiting friend & family to feed the beggars.
It was an eye opener to their 2 young kids to feed the hungry
beggars with delicious warm food & bottles of mineral water.
They could see how sad & pitiful
to become homeless & lonely.
We headed to Pudu's area again where it's the haven for the
poor homeless beggars who slept under the shops and flyovers.
You can find dozens of them sleeping openly but I woke them
all up as I knew that they were hungry and probably
had not eaten for days. They woke up and ate right away!
The above handicapped uncle was happy and chatted
non stop!
"Hey, come again with more food!"
Uncle is calling all bloggers & readers to care for them.
You You & Woei Woei are 2 angels.
*********
My wifey flew off the next day and my friend's whole
family tagged along to the see the whole KLIA terminal.
The young boy taught me to install the Flight Tracking
apps into my phone and it was so interesting.
I am such an uncle and didn;t know
how to track the planes!
Smart boy You-You.
Many hours later, I could track my wifey's United Airlines leaving
Hong Kong and flew out of China and North Russia!
Amazing!
Why was her "Red Plane" not flying across
the Pacific Ocean as it looked shorter?
Eventually I found the answer myself!
Simple, the earth spins so the plane should fly
upwards and downwards to save time.
Some 15 hours later the "Red Plane" was flying across
the Artic Ocean and passed through Canada.
Look at the thousands of planes jamming
New York's John F Kennedy airport!
This clearly shows how
"The Humans Are
Trading With Each Other's Karma Everyday"
just like the aeroplanes!
Yours truly and 2 Japanese college friends in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
That was some 2 decades ago and both Maki Yamada &
Junko Ueda have married Americans. They will play hosts
to show wifey the fabulous city where I lived around the
Carnegie Mellon University. So coincidence, she will be
having 2 weeks of meetings & training at CMU.
Deja Vue.

Have a safe flight Letchumi!
ReplyDeletePoor Anay got left behind.
Or is he secretly happy to be a temporary bachelor now? :P
Letchumy says thanks, nanri and vanakam!
DeleteAnay becomes a bachelor for old neneks ka??
Muahahaha
Anay and Letchumi are so kind to be helping the homeless people.
ReplyDeleteI only ever contribute by tagging along groups who regularly helps out like Our Touch Community.
There are friends who also like you who are actively helping out, with Street Feeders KL program and similar.
Bravo to both of you.
We sure need more emphatic people in the community.
You help homeless cats so often and we just feed homeless people sometimes only. Both also sama-sama hati kesian. Just hope this post will encourage the other bloggers not to ignore the less privileged.
Deletewow one day i want to be a good samaritan like you...
ReplyDeleteand... what an amazing flight tracking app...
Why wait for one day, for tomorrow may not come!
DeleteStart right away friend.
Good evening TM...
ReplyDeleteSulk lah, the weather here is so hot...
Good Afternoon Queen of Zumba.
DeleteYou dance and shake too much. Sure hot lah!!
Thumb up to Mr and Mrs TM for being a good samaritan...
ReplyDeleteYou are even better! Bought roti kasi that old aunty who pushed the cart.
DeleteSalute you!!
I must learn from you and your wife...
ReplyDeleteWe need to learn Zumba from you too.
DeleteYour wife is very kind hearted and dedicated to helping the unfortunate. God bless her!
ReplyDeleteYes she is very kind hearted compared to me. Maybe all vegans have lighter hearts!
Deletewoohoo!!! Anay is freed for the next couple of weeks and he can go partay every night while Letchumy is in the US!!!
ReplyDeleteso kind of Letchumy to collect the leftover food and then bring them to the hungry homeless.. this is such an act of The Goddess of Mercy!! by doing this, you are not only doing good to the homeless, but also yourself and most importantly those who had left behind the food!! that saves them good credit.. the two youngsters who followed must be a little skeptical at first I guess, but after seeing what was done, they were sure impressed and moved..
fuyoh!! Uncle SK also impressed by that apps dei, what's the name of the apps?? I also want to download that.. it's really impressive that the apps is able to track all the planes flying around the globe!! what a genius invention..
and yes, your explanation that planes don't fly straight lines actually makes sense.. because the earth is not flat and it spins!! guess the navigation system is really important to keep the planes flying the shortest distance.. maybe Letchumy is able to do such calculations.. :p
oh that's nice Anay arranged two friends of his to take care of Letchumy, no wonder he is not following.. did Anay show Letchumy and Maki and Junko that photo, and get the three ladies to pose exactly the same and take a photo?? that would be so much fun dei.. 30 years ago it was the husband, 30 years later it is the wife!!! priceless!!
anyways, hope Letchumy enjoys her stay in the US and Anay enjoys his temporary "single days"~~ *wink wink* :p
Hi! Your wife is very warm heart. Containing "noblesse oblige"? You will feel her life in Pittsburgh just like Deja Vue.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I agree that her heart is always warm, soft and kind to everyone. I am just opposite! LOL
DeleteI hope that she will enjoy the sights of Pittsburgh if she has the time to walk about.
I'm impressed by the flight apps. Interesting as you get to see the routes of the plane which you wife flew.
ReplyDeleteI bet you will have more use for this with your girl flying everywhere now.
DeleteThis flight apps is so interesting, something new which I learned today, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteHope you will install this apps too. We learn something new each day from everyone.
DeleteI like the colour and the tone of the last photo, very nice, got the nostalgic feel
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that the old photo faded like this. Nice kan?
DeleteMr and Mrs TM gong de wu liang
ReplyDeleteThank you.. Thank you... Same to you!
DeleteWifey is very kind hearted and have a good soul.. I've been reading in FB also, someone called Syed Azmi also doing simila thing, to feed and help the poor.. Very kind samaritan.. I like the last photo, I actually stared at it for a minute.. Hou leng!
ReplyDeleteEveryone has the seed of kindness in their hearts. Some bring them out often while some shut them inside forever.
DeleteOh I know Syed Azmi, my neighbourhood friend. Once he roped me in to collect winter wears to be sent to Syria which I blogged once. He still owe me one teh tarek!!!!
I better install that apps too. looks interesting! LOL i didnt even know it exists until now, im sooo an aunty oso. hahaha.
ReplyDeleteLOL... Hello Aunty. You are not alone as I said this uncle was also terperanjat when this young boy had to show me this interesting apps!
DeleteAnd so nice of your family to feed the beggars and the homeless. They must be feeling very grateful. God bless you!
ReplyDeleteThank you and I hope you will always collect the extras to feed the hungry homeless people and stray cats & dogs too.
DeleteYou sure you want to let your friends host your wife without your presence? Aren't you worried some "what happened in Pittsburgh stays in Pittsburgh" stories might finally leak to Letchumy??
ReplyDeleteAnd, I am an uncle too. I don't even know got such a flight tracking app! :/
I am shocked that you didn;t know about this flight tracking apps when you are the most frequent long distance flying blogger in Malaysia!!!
DeleteOh yes, I did pause and think it was "Safe" before scheduling their meet up. Muahahaha
and now a stalker is born. LOL...
ReplyDeleteEh...eh.... you will also need this to stalk Kaldip! You will be abke to know if the certain flights are delayed or detoured! Wakakaka
Deleteso now Letchumi not around. You gonna go partying? Go distribute food to homeless ya.
ReplyDeleteYeah why didn;t I think about distributing food to homeless? You cook for them ok.
DeleteGod bless you and your family for the kindness.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elaine. You are even better to welcome all the strays to your home without conditions.
DeleteMy boyfriend also purposely downloaded flight tracking apps so that easy for him to fetch me from airport everytime I back from holiday. It's funny how I yang keep travel but never download that app but he yang download one, when he only travel like once a year.
ReplyDeleteSuper jealous with you and your wife. Never been to USA yet but hopefully someday.
If you fly so often, then it is the correct thing that your darling uses this flight tracking apps. My wife also flies very often now, so I have to track her planes.
DeleteYour chance will come someday and you have covered so many places compared to other bloggers!!!
wow.. so kind of you to do such thing.. you're both good samaritan and will surely be so blessed.. hope everybody will do the same thing when they see someone on the streets who are greatly in need...
ReplyDeletewow you can now track flights too? so cool...
I hope you will always feed the hungry and homeless in your country too esp when there are much wasted and left over food. Please do so yeah!
DeleteYou can download the flight tracking apps easily and it is free.
It is always so kind of you two. Both, you and Letchumy shall be blessed with long life and good health. Happy Bachelor days, Anay. I hope you are not too lonesome without the company of Letchumy, Kekekek!
ReplyDeleteWakakakaka~~!! I am suffering as a bachelor as I dread those days of having to eat and watch movies alone. I hope you will always cook your delicious soups & desserts and feed the homeless beggars in your hometown too.
Delete1. I like the kindness of your wife and yourself. Putting in the efforts to collect the leftover food and go all the way to bring it to the poor ones. Well done! Most of the folks, including myself, just walk away with the food on the table.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, please don't walk away next time, freeze them all and ship them to me. I will feed the beggars for you!!
Delete2. hahaha.. What a nice hubby ... trying to check on your wife's journey. Well, I will do the same if I were you and I also don't know how to use those apps. I seldom track flights. hahaha
ReplyDeleteYou would do the same when your wife goes flying about. The apps is so easy to download and use. Just type the airport location and flight number.... the plane's icon will appear with actual photo of the airlines and model plane.
Delete3. wah... got two young Japanese babes with you during your younger times. Now, they will accompanied your wife. You must have accumulate good karma that you have good friends abroad to keep your wife company. :)
ReplyDeleteOh well, I fed all my Japanese and Korean friends a lot with my cooking! Now they are still in good contact with me. Nice friends are not easy to find.
DeleteUnbelievably crowded sky and interesting how the plane routed! Amazing apps
ReplyDeleteGlad u all feed the need, and also encourages other to do the same. True happiness is in sharing
Yes caring is always sharing. We must love all the sentient beings.
Delete"The Humans Are Trading With Each Other's Karma Everyday" - is this your original own quote? I find it interesting.
ReplyDeleteHow come you did not go with your wife to USA to revisit the places you have been before?
I read this quote from the Buddhism sutra texts and simplified it here. When one could understand this line well, we can accept our present fate better and decide whether to change it or not, as fate is in our own hands. Good example is how the rich deals with poor and how our superiors deals with the juniors, all depends on the individual karma. If we make merits and clear bad karma, we will be able to have a better standing anywhere.
DeleteMy wife went on this working trip with a dozen colleagues, so it would not look professional to tag along unless she goes alone.
That's a very good deed you and your wife are doing. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been involved in Kechara Soup Kitchen too, they go out Saturdays and the food is good (boatHouse, TTDI donates food to them, freshly cooked - I only knew coz I was tasked to pick up the food from them).
Cheers!
Oh man, I should salute you for all the help and contributions of yours towards the Kechara Soup Kitchen. They are very well known for reaching out to the most unfortunate and hungry ones. Oh that 2 pubs in my neighbourhood is always doing charity! (Boat House and Tom Dick & Harry)
DeleteOh wow, you're a single man now! Hahaha! Love the tracking app too!
ReplyDeleteI don't enjoy being alone even for a minute. I am counting the hours before I use the flight tracking to see the plane coming home!
DeleteSaddhu Saddhu Saddhu..Salute to you and wifey for all the deeds of loving kindness. Wow the flight apps is real kool..
ReplyDeleteWe are always behind time with all the new apps and gadgets. We need to hang around the younger sets to learn from them like how the kid taught me.
DeleteIn return, we teach the younger ones the teachings of the ancient Dharma to lead a meaningful life.
Last time me and my guy friend did that a few times too. I always wanted to go back, but scared to go alone...
ReplyDeleteI have been wondering where did you go for your further studies.
DeleteIt is always nice to create the before and after takes. It would be interesting to see how we have changed.
I went to Michigan in US. Sadly I don't like to take picture last time, until I saw something that I know I shouldn't care of my appearance that much, so I started to take picture since that.
