Went ladies night at MOS with WS, LZ, Sal, MY, IL and Sand (we are the OL gang!!) yesterday and we had a great time grooving away. But I must admit that the music initially sucks. The R&B and retro they were playing was sooooooo S.....L......O.......W. But as the clock slowly strikes 12, the music picked up gradually and all the power music began. I danced so much that my whole body ached when I woke up this morning. Before MOS, we went fly bar to get the free bottle of vodka (which taste very yucky. But its free, so no one’s complaining). All in all, we only spent $$ on the mixers at fly bar and on the cab fare back. I love being a lady!!
One thing, I noticed A lot of ladies wearing sneakers at MOS yesterday. In the past when I used to cheong MU and MW (wah, sounds so ah lian and old), nobody wear sneakers to club one lor. Everybody wear heels one lor. I am no longer keeping up with the times. I feel so old. :( I shall wear my adizero to cheong the next time. We have decided to go club together once a while. I propose to go after the spiderman movie.

Went to this vegetarian restaurant called Wah Loke Yuen at tanjong pagar for dinner yesterday with Des. The food there is good!! 2 thumbs up!! Didn't take any pics cos I was pai say lah. But that restaurant is worth a try. The char siew there is simply FANTASTIC!! Better than the real meat char siew lor, I tell you). In fact the char siew was sooooo nice that I was telling des that it will be great if they have char siew bao. So when the waiter came to clear our plates, I jokingly told him: your char siew is fantastic!! I love it!! Do you have char siew bao?? If have I want to pack some back home. And to my surprise, they do have char siew bao. And they also have walnut lotus paste pastry, walnut biscuit and wife biscuit which is very very nice. So in the end, I went MOS with 6 char siew baos, 2 boxes of pastries and biscuits in my bag. Heng my bag was big enough to accommodate the boxes of baos and biscuits. Else imagine I have to take big and small bags of baos to club!!

Few days ago, I mass emailed my friends a Borders online voucher. Among one of them was someone whom I have not been in contact with for quite some time. And there was sort of some bad feelings between us. When I was adding recipients for the mail, I hesitated before deciding add him in the list as I know he do buy books sometimes and the voucher would be useful. Today I received an email from him, saying he is in LA now.
What is so coincident is that just few days ago, I was with Yanni jie and she asked me what I was angry with. She told me that I must first forgive myself, and love myself then I can forgive others. And when I have really forgiven them, the other party will feel it and things will be different. And one of the exercises she gave me is to forgive 5 people or things everyday. And one or 2 days before I send that borders email out, this person was in my forgive list.
And he replied. I think prior to that borders email I do sometimes mass email him as well. All I can say that... Its not a coincident.

Celebrate SUCCESS!!
My mentor, Rich said that most asians have this problem. We don't celebrate success. We work very hard, and when we achieve our goal, we treat it as 理所当然, and we set a next goal and we cheong again. We don't celebrate our success, no matter big or small. And that is why over time, we tend to feel tired, burned out and drained out. Cause we just keep fighting, but they forget to celebrate.
Everyone needs encouragement and support to propel to greater heights. Just like ace, when he done something he is proud of, like when he first started learning how to walk, after every baby step he took, he will turn to us and clap his hand, initiating us to clap our hands and praise him for being such a clever baby. And with our encouragement, he will take the next baby step forward. If even babies like ace knows how to celebrate (by celebration here I don't mean it must be a grand party whereby one have to pop the champaign) each and every of his little achievements, what about adults like us? Have we forgotten how to do so?
celebrate success with RED!!
2 weeks ago, I celebrated my own small success. :) though the event wasn't as grand as the usual RR, and its just a small achievement on my part, but im happy because all my loved ones, the people who matters most are with there to share the joy with me. And they are all that matters. :)
the ones who matters most... :)
my comrades...
And after the event, where else do we go for celebration?? SUCCESS VEGETARIAN, with daddy, mummy, ah mah, sis, max, ace and net, of course!! There’s a reason why we love this eatarie sooooo much, other than the very yummy fried golden mushrooms that they served.
daddy & mummy... first time i see them take photo so intimate... heh...
Have yet to get myself the reward that I have promised myself, a pretty wallet. Have already set my eyes on one. When I got the time, I shall go make it my poccession. :) now on the way to achieve my next goal. And then I can get a laptop for myself, then a MAN (yes, if I hit that, its about time I get a man officially... Haha)!! Yay!!
And that is one BIG motivation. So... Onward we go!!!
congrats joven, liming and me!!
And remember to always celebrate your achievements, no matter big or small, ok?? If you need someone to celebrate with you, just let me know!! I’ll be more than happy to do so!!(provided there’s good food and drinks!!)

the usual rantings
Many a times I asked myself: if I were to have a special power, or if I can become a mutant like X-man, what powers will I want to possess??
To be able to read people’s mind (like jean grey)?
To be able to control the weather (like storm)?
To be able to become invisible (invisible man)?
To be able to become very strong ( like incredible hulk)?
To be able to fly (like superman)?
To be able to change into the image of another person (like mystique the blue lady... Did I get the name right)?
If there is one and only one special power that you will choose, what will you choose??
For me, I will choose to have the ability to teleport, so that I dun need to waste time going from one place to another. Imagine, I can wake up at 8.30, and at 8.59, teleport to my office. Sibeh shiok!! And I can say good bye to traffic jams, no need to squeeze with rude singaporeans in the trains, no need to smell other people’s body odor or silent fart. Most importantly, I wont be late ever!! Imagine, getting from point A to point B is a breeze, and I literally meant a breeze!! How great is that?? And I can save $$ to get a lexus 430 and use that money to buy a lot a lot of other stuff. Cool!!
What about you?? What special powers will you want to have if you have a choice??
**
They always say guys bond thru drinking, Woman bond thru SHOPPING (especially during a sale). How true is that!!
Seriously, nothing builds stronger bonds when you are out there, together searching for the best offers. I usually seldom lunch with my colleagues as Im a vegetarian and there are limited places that I can go for lunch. So unless they are going there for lunch, otherwise I wouldn't join them. And so im not really on close terms with some of the newer colleagues that are in other departments that I seldom need to liases with. And how I started to know them better was through lunch time shopping. Haha. Next week we are going chill out during one of the ladies night. Haha.
So wanna have better relationship with your girlie frens? Go shopping!!

Just went to winsland house with my colleagues for the loreal sale. But the Q was so damn long we gave up waiting. We took a peak inside the sale room and it looked as if the things inside are free, or are on 99.99% off. Anyway, when there is a sale with more than 30% storewide and admission is free, the bulk of singaopreans will scatter down to join in the crowd. A very good example is the IT fair. During the sat of last IT fair that was held in suntec, it took me and S 20-30 mins to walk from citihall mrt station to suntec tower 2. Can you imagine how many gazillions of people there was?? Sometimes I don't understand why the IT fair attract so many people. No doubt they have very good offers at the fair, but most of the people went there without getting anything or without the intent to get anything even. And it makes me wonder why they wanna go to the fair and get squeeze with the rest of singaoore,, unless...
They like to squeeze against people’s back or chest
They think by being going to where majority of the people are at, they will be labelled as COOL
They are really interested in computer peripherals
They wanna see chio bus (notice nowadays the uniforms of the promoters for computer fairs also wear till very sexy le. In the past, only promoters for car shows don sexy uniform (short skirt, high boots and all). But nowadays the promoters at IT fair are also donning short skirts and all.)

I just received very very duper super sibeh good news, but im not supposed to disclose yet. But I am soooo happy!! :D

happy, happyness, happiness
After watching the pursuit of happyness, I was wondering why they spelled happyness with a Y instead of an I. there must be a meaning behind it. Cant be a typo right?? So what do you think? Why is happYness purposely spelled wrongly?? Share your thoughts with me. There is no right or wrong answer. Different people will have different interpretations. :)
For myself, I think its because everybody, every human being come to earth only for one reason. To be happy. For every decision we make, we always choose the one that we (or our unconscious mind thinks) think will make us happy. And hence, its happy-ness. What is the one thing that is most important to you in your life? Determine that then do everything to achieve that. A lot of us tend to think too complicated. We think in order to achieve happiness we must achieve a lot of things in life or have to do this, do that and we go round and round. So happyness is simple. HAPPY-ness. What is the thing that matters to u most and makes you happy? And just do everything that will let you achieve it. That's the road to happy-ness.
While I am typing this, another thought came to my mind. The pursuit of happYness. In order to pursue happyness and get what you want in the end, the most important factor is your Y. which again boils down to your intent, like I written in the last post. :)
I asked sis the same question and she told me that it is because happyness is about You, and not I. Its about helping people. In the movie, no matter how busy Chris was, he never reject when people ask him for help. Even when he only had 5 bucks left in his wallet, he still borrowed it to someone who needs it.
Quote from dr george in his success FM CD series, 只要你帮够多人梦想成真,你就会心想事成. if you help enough people fulfill their dreams, you will get anything you want. So today if you have not get whatever you want, then you have not helped enough people.
So... Whats your perception?? Why is it HAPPYNESS and not HAPPINESS?? :)

happyness
Finally went to watch the pursuit of happyness. It was a brilliant show. A MUST watch. I cried when chris gardner was chosen for the job. I seldom cry when watching shows but that part touched me. I can really feel his joy even when he was trying hard to suppress his tears. I was so happy for him, his hardwork and preseverance finally paid off.
Favourite quote of the movie:
After the show, net and I were discussing what we saw or learned from the show. To him, is the power of preserverance, never give up.
To me, I learned:
Whatever the mind can think of and believe, it will eventually become the truth.
The power of intent. How strong is your power of intent to succeed? What is your compelling reason to succeed? To Chris, it was his son and that's why though he worked lesser hours than his peers but he still emerged top. And it made me think, how strong is my power of intent? what is my compelling reason? what is my motivating factor? Is it strong enough, big enough?
We (myself included) all say we want happyness/success/wealth/love. But how much do we really want it? Do we all want it as badly as Chris in the movie? If the road to happyness/success/wealth/love means we have to go through a rough path like chris, how many of us will give up before we can see light? This reminds me of what Dr George has said in his Success FM CD. Having dreams are like giving birth to a child. When a mother is in labour, she will never give up halfway and say she dun wanna give birth anymore. She will endure the pain and continue pushing till the baby is born. And the more pain she feels, the more ecasty she will be cos she knows that it means that her baby is going to be born soon.
But a lot of us (me included), when we are giving birth to our dreams, we just give up half way because the labour pain is too much for us to bear. And hence, our dreams are never born, never materialized. A lot of times, we don't even dare to concieve our dreams because the people who gave up halfway told us how painful it is going to be and all and so so many of us don't even dare to dream, for the fear of pain.
I thought about what is it that I really want to pursue now. What is the one dream that by thinking of it, will make my heart pulse faster, by thinking of it will put a smile to my face and I cant wait for that day to come and as days pass, my desire for it to become a reality becomes stronger. And I have one. And this dream/goal of mine, I know I will not be striving for it alone. :)
I hereby declare that I commit to pursuit my own happyness and give birth to all my dreams. :) please go pursuit your own happyness and have the courage to give birth to your dreams as well.

Don't let anybody steal your dreams. They tell you you can’t because they themselves can’t achieve it.

my MJ kakis
Played MJ on sat at QQ’s new home. New home, new MJ set (solid black tiles. Very stylo milo. But because its black, the 白板 becomes 黑板 and so don't have any tai. And nobody can gau 大三圆. Haha) but same old MJ kakis... Haha. Power blogged about our session and wrote about our characteristics. But I think her judgement doesn't do us justice. So I decided copy what she has written and add on to (text in dark green) what she has written and of course, add her in the list as well. Hahaha ;)
Carol:- The ultimate whinner
She whines about her colleuage, her tiles, people winning, her lost, almost everything !!!!! Actually, whats new?? She whine when she is drunk, she whines when she is not drunk, she whines when she is hungry... Haha .. She harps and harps on funny issues as well … (etc, fetish... Ooohhh we found out that one of our sis has a funny fetish that includes zuk zuk and tuk tuk... Keke...). The only time she will keep quiet is when she is LOSING … , sleepy or kena BOYCOTT (no, actually the only time she keep quiet is when she is EATING!!)… haha. The expert among the 4 girls … keke
Clatzz :- The Kuai Lan Queen (no comments)
She will give you the upmost KL answer when she is playing mahjong. Example: ‘Can u stop throwing big tiles to me’ Her ultimate reply will be ‘All my tiles are the same size one leh, what big tiles’ See …. thats only one incident of how KL she is .. haha … Previously, she is my nana kaki on the mahjong table. Whenever we sat opposite each other, we will have funny antics to make sure both of us will HUAT. Example :High Five and speaking in gibberish nana language which only the 2 of us will understand each other. Haha (but now I have matured and move on, leaving my power sis behind to continue to irritate us... hahaha)…
PP (Eileen):- The ‘Koh Lian Dai’ (pitiful)
Haha , what to do, she started this song in which she will sing (ask her to sing to you when she is not playing mahjong) whenever she lose .. and this song haunts her up to now. Whenever we wana disturb her, we will raise the issue on this song and asked her to sing which nowadays she rejected our offers. Haha … The 3 of us loves to bully her verbally and she always takes our crap with joy (oppppsss … actually she always complain that we bully her, especially when we boycott her for being the first to tiao zeng but we all know she secretly loves it deep in her heart. Another fetish of hers?? OPPS!! :X) However, nowadays she is on a winning streak … but we discover something about her last night …. her …..f***** … wahahahahahahaha. EQ is also the most chin chai among our group. You can put anything at her side of the table and she is ok with it one. She will gladly pass you tissue from across the table when you ask her to, not like the others, esp the below person.
Power : - the irritating till can die pan tang queen
She is super duper pantang. Which is why she only plays MJ with us, or only we wanna play MJ with her. If you touch her tiles (even when you take her tiles to her out of kindness because its very far from her... So no need be kind to her, let her stretch her hands), she will scold you. if you put anything near her, she will scold you. in fact, nothing can be placed near her side of the table unless its FOOD that she wants to eat. Your hand cant even go to “her zone”. You will get scolded. And she will not service the other players like pushing the tiles forward so that we can take the tiles more easily. This lady is also blur queen cum no sense of direction. After 2 rounds, she can still get the orientation of the players wrong!! Dunno she kay kay act blur or what. She is also the lup sap queen. Got 1 tai she will lap sup play already. No 志气. In fact, if you see her upfront tiles very nice, dun need to be afraid. Cos 99.99% of the time she is lap sup one!! Hahaha.
Ah Net :- The Mr 1919
I is sibey suay .. always sit ‘under’ him. And the tiles he throw out, are either ‘big’ tiles or those 1, 9, 1, 9 tiles (Those who play mahjong should know what Im saying) … and he is always using the ‘ you is very tiao shi (picky on food/tiles) on me de … All the tiles he throw out, all kaka tiles how to eat ??????? Wow lau .. Anyway I think he is getting crappier as the days goes by as well … Welcome to the club !!!!!!! Not only is he full of crap, he also full of rules and antics. Like cannot throw 西 for the first tile, cos will 一命归西. Till now, when I watch him play MJ, I still dun understand his playing strategies. Too advance for me?? But when he play with us he cannot take it cos we are all lap sup queens!! Haha.
YF :- Hubby of Carol
New member !!! Very the quiet last night when we were playing .. hehe so not much comments about him yet .. nvm, shall do a review on YF once he grew accustom to our mahjong sessions .. woohoo ~ Beware Carol, your hubby might just become crappier or gosippier as the days goes by .. Wahahahahahahaha (actually I can confirm + guarantee + chop he will be crappier. Cos he already start to reveal his liking for “animal kingdom” that night.) Sis were u tired on sun?? Keke.
**
I better stop writing else the next time they are gonna use MJ tiles to hit me when we play. Hahaha.

And the tiles he throw out, are either ‘big’ tiles or those 1, 9, 1, 9 tiles (Those who play mahjong should know what Im saying) … and he is always using the ‘ you is very tiao shi (picky on food/tiles) on me de … All the tiles he throw out, all kaka tiles how to eat ??????? Wow lau .. Anyway I think he is getting crappier as the days goes by as well … Welcome to the club !!!!!!! Not only is he full of crap, he also full of rules and antics.

But when he play with us he cannot take it cos we are all lap sup queens!! Haha.

family holilay...
Am planning for a holiday with daddy, mummy, ah mah, popo, max, sis, ace and of course myself!! Sis and I will sponsor the travelling and accommodation costs. Was chatting with daddy that day and he said something about sponsoring him to Genting and then it strike me that it has been so long since we went for a family holiday. And ever since I started working, I have never brought mummy, daddy, ah mah and popo for holiday before so I thought this is a good chance to do it. It will just be a short over the weekend trip though (cos max and I don't really have much leave to spare), to get out of singaore and enjoy some family bonding time together. :)
So now I am now deciding where we should go... Have to cater to the elderly (80+ yrs old) and the young (1.5 yrs old) and make sure that there are activities that everyone can participate in and enjoy. I have the following places in mind:
1) Genting
pros:
Cooling weather
Daddy can go casino
Ace, ah mah and the rest can go theme park
Daddy has the genting world card
cons:
The theme park also nothing much
Other than the theme park and the casino there is nothing else. The shopping sucks.
Been there so many times le.
2) cameron highlands
pros:
Cooling weather
Can visit fruit plantation and fruits plantation
Can eat and buy fresh fruits from the plantation.
cons:
The travelling time can die.
Dunno daddy will be bored or not
3) sebana cove
pros:
Its near, and take jetty from tanah merah will do
There are fruit orchards and durian farm. Can eat fruits and durians till siao
There is an ostrich farm as well so should have enough activities for the elderly
The younger ones can go trekking
cons:
Never been there before so dunno how it really is
No cool weather leh
Hmmmm... Sis says just make a decide and go ahead lah since we are only going for a few days. But if wanna plan for a family trip then must make sure everyone enjoy mah, right? Anyway, anyone of you have any other suggestions or reviews especially on the sebana cove?

the last movie to watch
EQ got complimentary tickets to the movie primeval on Monday and asked if I was interested.
EQ: u free to watch show later?? I got free tickets.
me: what show? Where? What time?
EQ: 7.20. The show about crocodile one.
me: huh?? Crocodile show?? I more interested in tiger show. Got a not??
Later in the afternoon...
EQ: so gal, do you want to watch the show or not??
me: where is it??
EQ: suntec
me: suntec ah. Good. Cos I need to go there to pass my fren something. I think should not be a problem ba. But what show is it?
EQ: told u already its about a crocodile...
me: (cutting in) oh u mean its a 3D show like omni theater??
EQ: no...
me: or its a documentary where they teaches you about how the crocodile functions, how they catch their prey, how they reproduce?
EQ: (sounding a bit pek chek) no...
me: or its like disney on ice?? Where they skate on ice wearing crocodile suits??
EQ: (souding super experated) NO... ITS A MOVIE!!
me: oh, its a movie ah. You never say earlier.
EQ: .... (I think she was fuming too much to speak... haha)
So we went to watch the movie at suntec with SL and we were late for about 20 mins. Seriously, we thought that its a blessing in disguise that we were late. We entered the cinema at about 7.40. By 8.10, I smsed net: im already fidgeting in my seat. By 8.20, I noticed that the ceiling of the cinema was unfurnished. I pointed that out to EQ and she told me: you are supposed to concentrate on the movie and not the cinema ceiling lor. By 8.30, I was having a headache and checking on the time every 5 mins to see what time the show will end. Not to mention I skipped dinner cause I was late as well and my stomach was growling non stop in the cinema.
Is the movie that bad?? Seriously, its not that bad. Its SUPER DUPER BAD. A waste of time. I rather spend my 95 mins eating, sleeping, go shopping, blogging or simply sitting at the toilet bowl waiting to shit than to watch that movie. And that was why we were soooo glad we were late. At least we don't need to watch so much of the show. The show was soooo bored that we started side betting, who will be killed by the crocodile first, and who will be the survivals left. And the crocodile is super fake lor.
If not for the jokes we made during the show, I think I would have 口吐百墨 by the end of the show. Thank goodness the tickets were complimentary. If I had paid for the tics, I would be super DL with myself for wasting time and money to watch such a fucked up show. Like I told net, even if I get paid to watch the show, I wouldn't. Alright, I take that back. I would if they paid me a four digit amount, in USD.
Thankfully, net came to fetch us and we went circuit road (vegetarian’s paradise) to eat. immediately felt better after food. :)

i am the gift of love and flow
During Peter and Natalie’s POV (14 Feb), Natalie said that all children are a gift to their family, and asked us to think what gift we are to our family. After that session, sis said that ace is the gift of joy and she also asked mummy what gift she is and mummy told her she is the gift of joy.
Since I attended that POV, I have been thinking and thinking what gift I am to my family but I cant find an answer. I asked sis as well, what gift am I and she said: why u need to think so hard? Just go and ask mummy lah. And though I also said I wanna ask mummy what gift I am, I never got around to doing it because I feared:
What if mummy cant answer? Or
Mummy just come up with something nice so that I wont feel upset.
So I never got the courage to ask mummy what gift I am and I pondered over that question everyday. And Till 2 weeks later, on the 2nd day of Hiromi sinseh’s POV, after I told sis about what I experienced during the course which I finally understood why I never have the courage to ask mummy such a simple question. Because I felt a very strong sense of guilt towards daddy, mummy and sis. Daddy used to have his own business and our family was rather well to do. shortly after I was born (I cant remember what age I was), his business folded and he went to work in a factory. At that point of time, we were still quite well to do. Then subsequently, unfortunate things just happened one after another. daddy lost his car in malaysia, we were without a vehicle, our house got broke in, daddy’s coffee shop venture failed, he started to gamble and accumulated a huge amount of debts.
All these, I felt was because of me. I brought bad luck to the family. Since I was born, things just go downhill from bad to worse. And it is because of this strong sense of guilt that caused me to think that I am not worthy of any good things in life, im not worthy of success, im not worthy of love because I think I brought bad luck to my family. But of course I have let go of these thoughts after the POV to embrace an abundant life :).
After sharing with sis, later that night when we were home, sis told mummy about what I shared with her and asked mummy what gift I was to the family (much to my annoyance caused she never asked me beforehand!!). Mummy pondered for a moment and said: Qing was the youngest child in our family. So everyone doted and showered her with a lot of love. Even popo (my maternal grandma) also doted on her a lot cos when she was born, we were already living with popo. I think she is the gift of love. When mummy said that, I was in doubt of her answer. She must say something good right, so is she just saying this to make me feel good? I dunno. But I still don't feel that I am the gift of love.
Till on the following day of POV, during one of the activity exercise with sis... Looking into her eyes, I felt her sisterly love flowing to me. And it suddenly dawned to me that I am indeed the gift of love.
I remembered:
When I asked sis what gift I was, before she asked me to go ask mummy, she asked me: what gift do you think ace is to you? Having read her blog, I just logically answered: joy lor. Then she said, then you are the gift of joy as well cause what you can see in others, is a part of you.
But thinking deeper, ace is not just a gift of joy to me. Ace is the gift of love to me. Ace taught and showed me that I can, and is capable of loving babies. Before Ace, I always dislike kids. I find them irritating and noisy and I decided that I will not want to have any kids of my own. But after Ace came into our family, I realised that I am capable of giving so much love to him. I dun find him irritating even when he cries. And I even thought, if I have a child like Ace, I wont mind!! So Ace is the gift of love in my eyes, and so, I am and must be the gift of love.
When mummy was talking about how popo also doted on me more the night before, popo added: last time when you all go your ah mah’s house to stay every weekend, Qing will call home to talk to me. Seriously I don't remember a thing. That was like more than 20 years ago but popo still remembered. I think it must have meant something very close to her heart else she cant have remembered such little things. I must be the gift of love to popo.
And mummy, daddy, ah mah, yeye all doted on me a lot because I was the youngest child and grandchild as well. And they always give in to me simply because I was the youngest.
And sis also said, when mummy always bring me out to soka meetings, all the aunties and uncles always doted on me a lot, especially aunty Qingling (even when aunty qingling migrated to canada, she still sends me birthday cards and buy me birthday presents. And when she has frens coming back to singapore, she always have something for me), aunty Jenny, uncle Kenny, and also mummy’s old neighbours, aunty bin and family.
And the driver, he, like ace, is the gift of love to me too. So I am the gift of love as well. :)
With that exercise with sis, I finally confirmed that I am indeed the gift of love. And on that day during the course, we were each asked to choose a gift card. The gift card is a gift that we have within us, and we are to share the gift with as many people as possible. And I picked the card FLOW.
And this is the defination of the flow card:
Flow is about all good things coming to you as you move forward in effortless effort. Everything falls in your favour because you are in tune with the unfolding process of life. Flow includes good timing, expectancy, opportunity, luck and is full of ease. It is like a boat floating down a river, meeting good things around every bend.
So, I am the gift of love and flow. And I want to give these gifts of mine to all of you out there reading this post. Lets start embracing a life of abundance together. :)
