Love is not in the air for both of us. Where is the lover that we are looking for ? Why are guy so cruel to us and why have their have to break our heart and soul .
MY own love is gone... like the wind in the air. Never understand why love can be cruel to me and never to find that love that is there for me. Many time i try to find love i will not be able to see what is round me but only the guy for me.
Hidayah was around me not matter what . Through all my difficult time and sorrow for those guy that i once have . I really miss her , she can't left me now as i would be lonley as she is my only friend that i have with me. Seen we can't be together every day she will be in my heart forever no one else that take that spot in my heart as my best best friend.
She is my sunshine and i am her little flower that she shine down on . without her sun shine i would not have grow to a beautiful flower in the garden of happiness where i would be waiting for her.

my RJ for my MSI p11 today....
According to Patch Adams, the 'clown' physician, humour is the best 'medicine'. What are your views on this?
Humour, happiness, laughter or anything associates with the feeling of not in trouble of burden of any sorts, is the best medicine... well this is now supported by scientist and proffesionals... one example is actually done by Chris Robert, assistant professor of management in MU’s Robert J. Trulaske, Sr. College of Business, said that humor – particularly joking around about things associated with the job – actually has a positive impact in the workplace. Occasional humor among colleagues, he said, enhances creativity, department cohesiveness and overall performance.
The conclusion was made by examining theories on humor and integrating literature from a wide variety of disciplines that touch on the subject. Several hundred sources were analyzed by Robert and collaborator Wan Yan, a business doctoral student, who have attempted to bring together literature from numerous disciplines to make the case that humor is serious business.
“Humor has a significant impact in organizations,” said Robert, who also teaches psychology in MU’s College of Arts and Science. “Humor isn’t incompatible with goals of the workplace. It’s not incompatible with the organization’s desire to be competitive. In fact, we argue that humor is pretty important. It’s not just clowning around and having fun; it has meaningful impact on cohesiveness in the workplace and communication quality among workers. The ability to appreciate humor, the ability to laugh and make other people laugh actually has physiological effects on the body that cause people to become more bonded.”
and another example is actually held by a professor name Melissa B. Wanzer, EdD, professor of communication studies at Canisius College in Buffalo, NY, has taken it one step further, with her research on how humor helps medical professionals cope with their difficult jobs. She also looked at how humor affects the elderly and how it can increase communication in the workplace and in the classroom.
“If employees view their managers as humor-oriented, they also view them as more effective,” notes Wanzer. “Employees also reported higher job satisfaction when they worked for someone who was more humor-oriented and used humor effectively and appropriately.” Wanzer and her colleagues found that humor is an effective way to cope with on-the-job stress – again, when used appropriately.
Wanzer also recently collaborated on research that found aging adults who used humor more frequently reported greater coping efficacy, which led to greater life satisfaction. This was the third study she conducted, with three different populations, where the conclusion was the same.
so do i... i believe in humor... because in humor it gives hope to you... happiness give you a sense of warmth that not even the sun could give... and laughter it erases all your worries and troubles behind for you are enjoying yourselves.... that is why humor, which brings happiness and laughter, IS the best medicine....

my PP report
There are many Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) companies in Singapore. Some of the companies are however, a Pyramid Marketing company that requires a higher investment to get monthly returns. Most people in Singapore are still unable to differentiate the difference between a pure MLM and pyramid company.
MLM company participants are to invest their capital in the mode of buying and selling of products. The returns then calculated in the total sales points accumulated from the personal sales and personal group sale required by the individual MLM Company.
However, a pyramid scheme or pyramid system is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually without any product or service delivered. It is known to come under many guises. Some famous examples including the massive Albanian Pyramid Schemes of 1996 were technically not Pyramid schemes but Ponzi schemes.
Albanian Pyramid Schemes was a crisis faced by the Albanian government in the financial year of 1996 to 197 when at least two-third of the nation had made an investment through the scheme. The political and the social consequences of the collapsed of the pyramid scheme were profound. There were uncontained rioting, fall of the government, resulting descended into anarchy and a near civil war where more than two thousand people are killed.
The Albanian Pyramid Schemes are known as the Ponzi schemes. A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that involves paying abnormally high returns to investors out of the money paid in by subsequent investors, rather than from net revenues generated by any real business. It was name after Charles Ponzi. A man whom was the most influential and top convicted person that created and cause the Albanian 1996 financial crisis.
Pyramid schemes are illegal in many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Malaysia, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Iran. These types of schemes have existed for at least a century.
A MLM company otherwise, also known as Network Marketing is a business distribution model that allows a parent multi-level marketing company to market their products directly to consumers by means of relationship referral and direct selling.
Independent unsalaried salespeople of multi-level marketing referred to as distributors (associates, independent business owners, franchise owners, sales consultants, consultants, independent agents, etc.), represent the parent company and are rewarded a commission relative to the volume of product sold through each of their independent businesses (organizations).
Independent distributors develop their organization by either building an active customer base, who buy direct from the parent company and / or by recruiting a down-line of independent distributors who also build a customer base, expanding the overall organization. Additionally, distributors can also earn a profit by retailing products, which they purchased from the parent company at wholesale price.
Distributors earn a commission based on the sales efforts of their organization, which includes their independent sale efforts as well as the leveraged sales efforts of their down-line. This arrangement is similar to franchise arrangements where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchisor as well as to an area or region manager. Commissions are then paid to multi-level marketing distributors according to the company’s compensation plan. There can be multiple levels of people receiving royalties from one person's sales.
One company that I will be focusing is a MLM company that I have seen a good opportunity for me to start my business that I have already decided to take path on for my future career and successful earning.
The company that I will concentrate on is ELKEN Sdn Bhd, a company that was set up in Malaysia and have gone globalised throughout ASIA.
Since 1995, ELKEN has been helping millions of people realise their dreams. They have established a network that spans the international arena and they manage their operations professionally in strict accordance with the world-class ISO: 9001 certification.
The extensive ELKEN network represents a mutually beneficial partnership of more than 300,000 enthusiastic independent distributors in seven countries, with more partners joining them every day. Significantly, the amazing ELKEN marketing plan enables a distributor to accrue wealth and health faster than any other.
Through ELKEN, I believe I will have unlimited opportunities to capture a market as big as the world of more than 1,352 million people. The ELKEN network is truly a proven avenue to the lifestyle that we all aspire.
Vision

As they move forward together with the distributors into the rough uncharted seas of the 21st century, ELKEN's vision is still firmly grounded in their belief that every person can take control of his or her life if he or she is given the right knowledge and opportunity. In addition, such freedom comes from true mental and spiritual growth.

In the mature market that they operate, more than 2,000 ISO-registered skill enhancement-training sessions and events are conducted every year to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit and full potential in the distributors, who come from diverse strata of society. Access to our training is limited only by the desire to grow. Besides economic independence, ELKEN is able to grant the distributors a sense of self-actualisation.
They also believe in fostering unity in work and life regardless of status, race and belief, thereby creating a truly Global ELKEN Community.

ELKEN's network of distributors and stockists is rapidly expanding throughout the Asia Pacific region, forming a strong and efficient web enveloping the entire region.

ELKEN’s success and international reputation can be attributed to its world-acclaimed products that reflect the time, effort and financial resources ELKEN has invested in developing them. Further, ELKEN is constantly upgrading and expanding its range of products with the aim of continually improving the lives of consumers.
So committed is ELKEN to product quality that it took a bold step in 1998 to establish Narisia Sdn. Bhd. to manufacture its own Reverse Osmosis technology water treatment system to assure the desired standard of quality. Their system, the Bio Pure R.O. Water Purification System, is a Malaysian initiative using component parts produced by the world’s leading manufacturers – a strategic, synergistic move that has proven to work successfully in the quest for the best quality pure water.
They added another feather to their cap in 2001 with the establishment of their own manufacturing plant, Elepac Sdn Bhd, which compliance to the well-recognised Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standard have been granted a manufacturing license by the National Pharmaceutical Council Bureau (BPFK) to be a Traditional Medicines and Over The Counter (OTC) manufacturing site.

Company’s view in terms of Quality
ELKEN stands for Quality. As a reputable organisation, they are committed to Quality in everything they do and offer their customers, from extraordinary products to exemplary service. Their commitment to Quality goes beyond word-of-mouth advertising. It is backed by the seal of approval and recognition from international authorisation and certification authorities.
As the first Direct Selling Company in Malaysia to be accredited ISO 9002 certification in 1998, ELKEN was also the first to upgrade its system to ISO 9001 in 2003. ELKEN is proud to operate in strict compliance with ISO 9001 standards.
They believe in and practise good Business Governance. ELKEN is proud to be a responsible corporate member of the direct selling industry, and abides by the relevant government regulations and associations' Codes of Conduct governing members' operations and conduct. ELKEN is an active member of the Direct Selling Association of Malaysia (DSAM), the Direct Selling Association of Singapore (DSAS) and the CTFA (Cosmetic Toiletries of Fragrance Association).
Quality in Products
Product quality is one of the competitive edges to ELKEN. Many of ELKEN's products have been conferred prestigious awards by quasi-government bodies and associations; certified by international accreditation organizations; and clinically proven by reputable institutions, some of which are laid out below:
Quality in Service
Their aim at Elken is not to provide a one-time sale but to develop a long-term relationship with customers, to the extent that they become more a partner than a customer. Their customers decide the growth and success of their organisation. This is why they are committed to a Total Customer Satisfaction (TCS) approach.
They want to satisfy customers not just by providing quality products but also quality services. With this in mind, they offer not only occasional gifts, personalised service but also speedy delivery services and an efficient Customer Service Department. In order to understand customers’ needs, they also conduct surveys to constantly improve and meet customer expectations.
In fact, they have established EK One retail outlet, a one-stop shopping centre at their branches. Decked with the latest selections of our products, customers may shop conveniently with product information written in prints or their outlet personnel ready by their side to assist them.
Customers who want to try their beauty products or have a makeover can enjoy an exclusive experience at Elken Beauty Gallery. The spacious Beauty Gallery is furnished with posh sofas, amenities and fitting rooms.
The relationship with customers does not end after a product is sold or the warranty period has expired. They have established a company, Elken Services Sdn Bhd, formerly known as Narisia Sales and Service, to concentrate on attending after-sales services to their customers. Elken services not only installs and repairs R.O. Purification System, but also takes care of the maintenance of the R.O. Purification System that customer bought. Elken Services has a team of dedicated personnel who had have gone through a special training programmed, namely the K-Tech program.
Distributors can log on to ELKEN On-line any time anywhere to check sales volume. The latest updates are just one click away. In addition, ELKEN SMS service will update distributors on their sales volume top-up. The SMS is a crucial assistant to the busy distributor who is always running on tight schedule.
ELKEN’s impeccable customer support facilities are also available for the convenience of their distributors. They offer an exclusive discussion area, tastefully furnished lounge, a training hall and meeting rooms for distributors to conduct recruiting and group discussions. In addition, ELKEN has established an extensive network of branches and stockist centres that provides wide coverage to ensure convenient accessibility to products.
In respect of achieving TCS, They have gone a step further by advocating a World Class Service standard. They assure an extensive and similar standard of service across all cultures, regardless of national boundaries.
All this is because they want everyone to be proud for choosing ELKEN.
Community Outreach
Ethical and professional business comes with responsibility, and ELKEN is proud to assume its role as a corporate citizen. They aim to help make the world a brighter place for their customers and distributors, their employees, and the communities they operate in. They practise a win-win relationship, and they acknowledge they ultimate success is dependent on the well-being of all groups of people that they interact with. This belief is reflected in the number of charitable activities that ELKEN has undertaken a responsibility they take seriously and which they have chosen to undertake annually.
List of Companies I have joined before I knew ELKEN:
1) Luxor Pte. Ltd.
2) Amway
3) 4Life
4) Sunshine Empire
5) CNI
6) Avon
7) Pharmanex
8) Nu Skin
These companies have of about the same products of needs and benefits with different technologies and variety of choices with more recognised products in the market. Some of the companies stated also have more products than ELKEN and to a certain extent; their products have more variety and benefits.
Like for example, Luxor, they use sea cucumber, or its scientific term is Stichopus horrens, which is believed to have magical healing powers and wide usage by people for centuries. In addition, they have their own sea cucumber farm that not only produce the sea cucumber water but also preserve and breed the sea cucumber with the help of graduates from Malaya University of Technology. And 4Life Company have products that use early fermented cow milk that has high nutrients that can help to heal and revitalise your skin naturally.
However, throughout all my life in the MLM industry, the quality, the opportunity and the benefits that my family and I have received from ELKEN has overcome all the under-satisfaction that we have faced with other company.
Furthermore, I also believe that with the system and technology that ELKEN has will not only improve my financial possibilities but also will help to improve my life physically, internally and externally.
