Greetings to you. May you feel at home and enjoy what I am sharing on this little corner. I am learning as much as I can from you and fellow blogger community. It is my first attempt at blogging. Who knows, it could be another source of information for the community and at the same time it could well be another source of income for me as I am as much interested in making money online. Let's go from here...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2011. Yes, the party for 2010 is over. Goodbye 2010. Have you consider to leave you Legacy behind for your family members like Immanuel, God with us? Jesus Christ left His legacy for us some 2000 years ago. Welcome 2011. So have you gone to the Lost and Found corner? Did you find your treasures there or have you found your treasures in heaven as state in bible verses Matthew 6:19-21 in year 2010 or going to find it in year 2011? So plan your New Year 2011 financial programs carefully so that we are wise to leave something behind for our beloved such as a shelter where they can call Home Sweet Home and put smiles on their faces when they know that we have left a legacy behind and will one day meet again on the distant shores.
John 3:16 says. " For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
It was fun time and busy week in this world. Wow.. BMBC is global now. Not only the bank that never sleep is global. World Cup in South Africa in 2010. Now Christmas with Africans in Bukit Mertajam Baptist Church. So here are the belated post to share with you. It is wonderful to see your smiles again. Let us begin with Bigfoothill's journey to Christmas Service at BMBC here.

Finally, I got this clip uploaded for you to watch it here or at You Tube. As a little child, my daddy and mommy and elder sisters used to tell me to go and watch the fireworks and would bring me there whenever there were fireworks to be let off at night especially during the special occasions in the small Royal Town of Arau, Perlis such as when His Royal Highness (HRH) the Late King or "Raja" Tuanku Syed Putra Ibni Jamalulail was celebrating his birthdays or the special celebration like his installation as the Third King of Malaysia. My late daddy whom I called Pa and my mommy used to get invitations for the Royal Banquets at the Royal Palace in Arau, Perlis near the Arau Railway station and opposite the Police Station. Now this little royal village boy has moved to Big Foot Hill or Bukit Mertajam in Seberang Perai or Province Wellesley on the mainland side of Penang State.
Those days, little children used to light their own fireworks or fire crackers during festivals like Muslim celebrates Eid-ul-Fitr the end of Ramadan and Eid al-Adha celebrations start after the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide or Chinese Lunar New Year or Hindu's Deepavali or Christmas and New Year. Now fire cracker is banned in Malaysia and Singapore. Pity my nieces and nephews here and there and our present day kids as they cannot play with fire crackers as we did in the good old days.
Now that there is no royalty or royal palace at Bigfoothill or Bukit Mertajam or Penang State as we only have the Governor in state of Pulau Pinang, Bigfoothill took every opportunity to rekindle the sweet memories of the excitements that I enjoyed watching fireworks being let off at every celebrations held around here in Bukit Mertajam and nearby areas. One thing for sure as the bible tell us so, Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. So the fireworks were set-off at Auto City Juru during recent Christmas Eve Countdown to celebrate the arrival of Christmas or the birth of the Royal Baby born in the manger, Jesus. Now it is time again to rejoice in the King of Kings during this New Year 2011 for me and family.
As for you and others, you have many other reasons to celebrate the New Year 2011 as you could be promoted on your career or you boss is giving you a raise or giving you a fat bonus recently or a fat red packet in the coming Chinese Lunar Year of the Rabbit. Bye bye Tiger..soon. maybe, some of you are proposing to your girlfriend and planned to get married in 2011. Do invite me to your wedding reception or dinner. I could then capture your precious moments in life live on my Sony Handy cam DCR-SR47 model. Whatever cause you are celebrating, I wish you all the best wishes and may you find 2011 a blessed year and God with Us, Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14 NIV). You can refer bible verses through this link here to BibleGateway.com http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%207:14&version=NIV1984.
Immanuel is spell as Emmanuel especially in Espanol, French or other languages.
Here is an interesting sermon on Isiah 7:14 from Rev. Adrian Dieleman form the Trinity United Reformed Church, Visalia, California , USA preached on December 25, 2001 which you can click on this link http://www.trinitycrc.org/sermons/is07v14.html

Hope you enjoy the fireworks here for those who did not catch it earlier at the Countdown to New Year 2011.
Wishing you a Happy New Year 2011. Bigfoothill and family went to Sunway Carnival Shopping mall for window shopping and to usher in the New Year instead of original plan to go to the Penang Island for the New Year Countdown as the traffic was heavy and building up when we proceeded from Bukit Mertajam towards the Penang Bridge. Teen Idol Singing Competition was held at Sunway Carnival Shopping Main Lobby where the Christmas and New Year programs are being staged there with some artificial snows pouring out from the higher levels of the shopping mall to usher in the New Year 2011.
International Superstars ans singing sensations such as Thomas Shi Wen Yew, Wana Mystarz LG and Daly Ahli Fiqir also graced the occasion. Thomas sang a brand new song from his new Single album for 2011.
The rap and hip-hop group, Ahli Fiqir, sang an unreleased new rap song to wow the crowd.
The lovely female artiste, Miss Wana, came on as the final artiste to grace the New Year 2011 Countdown at Sunway Carnival shopping mall. She greeted Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the audience and shoppers and Happy Holiday. Thanks to the Malaysian Football team for winning the AFF Suzuki Cup for the fist time in years. She was very friendly and talked to the audience and even came down the stage to be close with the crowd and asked the audience to sing along with her. She specially dedicated this song to the guy with the hair standing. Who else? She sang a very lovely reggae song titled Ordinary People. I thought she was talking to the guy behind me but there was no other guy with standing straight hair. She then said it is me,Bigfoothill!
Happy New Year to American International Assurance(AIA) agents. Bigfoothill joined fellow agents of AIA nationwide at the Stadium Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur for AIA annual New Year Kick-off to start the new financial year. The celebration was grand and the National Sports Stadium was filled with seas of red-shirted AIA agents, staff and management.
The Group Chairman and CEO of AIA, Mr Mark Tucker was with us together with Mr Khor Hock Seng, CEO of AIA Bhd and his teams of senior managements and executives to launch the New Year 2011 with a big bang offering many goodies and challenges in bags including a BMW car for agency force and new products for clients.
There were special guest appearances by famous and beautiful singers like Miss Dayang Ku Intan and Mr Ah Niu who by the way is from Penang see link here for his bio-data. Click here to link and visit his website. The audiences were very excited and joined in the chorus especially when he sang his popular song "The girl from across has looked over here".
