Mum is now somewhere in an eternal world, I will like to once again wish mum a Happy Mother's Day. I hope mum is able to hear my wish and happy in her other part of the world, probably together with Dad. I missed you, Mum and thank you for your years for bringing up all of us. Thank you Mum.
There was no stamp issued in the past in Malaysia to celebrate the Mother's Day, I know there are several stamps issued for this event internationally. I will share with all a nice Malaysia Maximum Card depicting a great mother cuddling her son. What a lovely scene depicting a loving mother. With this , I will like to wish All mothers a Happy Mother's Day.

A total surprise and disappointment with the result of the Maximaphily competitive exhibit @ the recently concluded Indipex 2011 !
Just got hold of the award list for the recently concluded World Philatelic Exhibition "Indipex 2011" held @ New Delhi, India from 12-18 February, 2011, which is appended as follows :
1. History of Maximaphily 1872-1940 by George Constantourakis - 80 Vermeil
2. Classic MC of Turkey Ottoman and Early Republic period by Atabey Ege Tunaci - 70 Silver
3. Discover India by Pulak Gupta - 65 Silver Bronze
4. The Birds in the world by Pierre Vandenhaute - 60 Bronze
5. Der Anfang Von Der Arpadenze by Miklos Laszlo - 75 Large Silver
6. Styles of Tops of the Buildings by Xianli Meng - 76 Large Silver
7. The Artistic styles of Buildings before 1949 by Chang Cheng Wang - 70 silver
8. Memorial by Chih-Ping Chu - 75 Large Silver
9. The World of birds by Sasmita Raut - 60 Bronze
10. Bills by Pradip Mohanty - 60 Bronze
To my shock is the award presented to the exhibit "History of Maximaphily 1872-1949" which had been showcased in many exhibitions of the world winning many awards above the Large Vermeil medal, the highest being a GOLD medal award @ China 2009 held @ Luoyang. I had the honour to see this exhibit in several occassions and I believed the exhibit had been rewritten and improved before sending to Indipex 2011, as I can notice the title of the exhibit had been revised to include a period from 1872 - 1949, which is a difficult classiscal period for the acquisition of maximum cards. The author is always a great supporter for the Maximaphily Class in FIP exhibition, besides supporting the show Indipex 2011, the author is aiming to receive a higher award for his exhibit. The author is a forerunner on the collecting of Maximum Cards and this exhibit he owns is one of the best in the world currently. With an excellent track record of good award at previous World Philatelic Exhibition, how was it marked down @ Indepex 2011 world exhibition? The award dropped from a previous GOLD to a Vermeil, how could this happen ? What is the implication ?
I used to take this exhibit as a "thermometer" to gauge the responses from the MC collectors and the comments from the Juries , and more to measure on the FIP 's acceptance on this particular class of philately. As I know the exhibit which had been written, researched for many years and much time and monies had been spent in order to acquire the many unique classical MCs to put up the exhibit, all these are for the HOBBY of maximaphily and for ONE aim - the recognition of the hobby by the FIP. If the exhibit " History of Maximaphily - 1872-1949" , an exhibit containing 256 MCs from a classical period deserves ONLY to be awarded with a Vermeil medal, I cannot imagine the many maximaphily exhibits which had been prepared and in the process of writing, what will be their fate when they are to be shown in the future exhibitions ? Maximaphily seems to be a nobody's child in FIP. Does the Indipex 2011 result alert the FIP on this particular class of philately ? Will FIP analyse why was there a drastical difference in the judging of maximaphily exhibits at Indipex 2011 as compared to the previous shows ? Perhaps, as I have said, Maximaphily is an abandoned child in the FIP family, FIP will NOT care!
As an enthusiast or fanatic in Maximaphily, I must say, Indipex 2011 hurts many maximaphilists throughout the world. Indipex 2011 gives a discouraging signal to all MC collectors so as to refrain from exhibiting. I must comment on the FIP on the unfairness treatment for maximaphily, every exhibitor pays for the exhibtion ( and it is NOT cheap really ), and the rate applies to all classes, maximaphilists pay for the similar rate of exhibition fee, BUT it seems the judging treatment given was different ! Mind all, if ONLY you are a maximaphily exhibitor , you will NOT feel the unfair treatment existed in FIP ! For an exhibiting fee approx. 50USD per frame, an Eight frame costs 400 USD, think for yourself, is it worth submitting your maximaphily entry for a consolation award? Indipex 2011 clearly hints the intention of the FIP ... in fact LONDON 2010 had spearheaded with the objection of maximaphily exhibits to be represented in the show, I wonder, how could FIP allow such a discrimination went ahead, if maximaphily is recognised as a FIP family member, how was there a drastical marks difference occured in Indipex 2011, and yet silence in the FIP ? Maximaphilists pay for the similar exhibition fee, BUT, the final treatment of the award is a total difference. FIP rules had NOT changed lately, I am curious about the "NEW" rules applied @ Indipex 2011 ? Can anyone anywhere clarify the great fluctuation of the marking system applied @ Indipex 2011? An answer is needed to solve the mystery of the marking and awards given @ Indipex 2011. I will describe this event as the DARK AGE of Maximaphily and the fact is needed to be recorded in the history of Maximaphily.
Indipex 2011 obviously had planted a BOMB in the world of maximaphily, it does give some indication to the World of Maximaphily the intention of the FIP. As a maximaphilist myself, I still regard "History of Maximaphily - 1872-1949" is a fine collection ever written by a renowned maximaphilist, in the eye of a maximaphilist, this exhibit deserves a GOLD medal and I will salute to such a FINE exhibit ! I will like to further stress that HOBBY is a hobby, Maximaphily is a FINE hobby, Do enjoy the hobby .. the Hobby faces criticism from the TRADITIONAL collectors, BUT as a MC collector, we do NOT have to care about others, as this hobby has its uniqueness, I can see if ONLY maximaphilists continue to create MCs, continue to produce excellent MCs, the future of Maximaphily is as BRIGHT as the burning Sun.

Furnicular train of Bukit Bendera 登山祷告与神作一次亲近的接触
路加福音九：28
「說了這話以後約有八天，耶穌帶著彼得、約翰、雅各上山去禱告。 」
耶稣带着门徒上山祷告，靠的是双脚。
而现在的我们，除了爬山要靠双脚双手，像登槟城升旗山就容易多了，有缆车！

复活节与彩蛋
耶稣基督被钉于十字架而死，死后三日复生，是为复活节。据推算，这一天为春分满月之后的第一个星期天，大致在阳历3月22日至4月25日之间。复活节有制作与互赠彩蛋活动。蛋象征了生命，也代表了耶稣复活走出石墓。Friday, April 22, 2011

Chinese New Year Zodiac Rabbit No 2 圣经：倒嚼不分蹄的兔子
圣经：倒嚼不分蹄的兔子
耶和华对摩西、亚伦说：“你们晓谕以色列人说，在地上一切走兽中可吃的乃是这些：凡蹄分两瓣、倒嚼的走兽，你们都可以吃。但那倒嚼或分蹄之中不可吃的乃是骆驼，因为倒嚼不分蹄，就与你们不洁净。沙番，因为倒嚼不分蹄，就与你们不洁净。兔子，因为倒嚼不分蹄，就与你们不洁净。猪，因为蹄分两瓣，却不倒嚼，就与你们不洁净。这些兽的肉，你们不可吃；死的，你们不可摸，都与你们不洁净。Sunday, April 17, 2011

Malaysia Spices 2 - Chilli 读圣经如同尝辣
读经体验上帝的话语
「如何知道圣经就是上帝的话语？」，这是一个很难去证明的问题。一个信徒相信那是上帝的话，因为信徒们都亲身体验了圣经的真实。
耶稣在路加福音六：47-48告訴我们如何验证。
读圣经就如同吃辣椒。还没吃过辣椒的，怎知道辣椒是如何的呛呢？所以要体会辣椒的辣，唯一的办法就是亲身去尝试吃一吃，没人能够告诉你辣椒的辣是如何的辣。

Spices - 28.3.2011 香料在圣经
圣经中常提到的香料: 肉桂
肉桂產於亞熱帶，樹皮散發香氣，研碎後可用作香料。
经节：
出埃及記三十章23節 的「香肉桂」
箴言七章17節的 「桂皮」
雅歌四章14節的 「桂樹」
啟示錄十八章13節的「肉桂」，無疑是一种肉桂香料。
经节：
出埃及記三十章23節 的「香肉桂」
箴言七章17節的 「桂皮」
雅歌四章14節的 「桂樹」
啟示錄十八章13節的「肉桂」，無疑是一种肉桂香料。
用作貿易的肉桂是取自樹的內皮，從約有4至5年樹齡的樹剝下來。在多山的地區，肉桂樹必須多種幾年才可削皮，品質最好的桂皮來自較嫩的樹 枝。削皮的方法是用利刀在樹身兩旁縱向切開，剝下來的樹皮便呈空心的圓柱形。將這些圓柱形的長枝或「管子」再束成約一磅重的捆子 。
猶太人常因肉桂是一種馨香的東西，所以看它為極高尚的香料和香膏。肉桂是製造聖膏油的主要材料之一。神曾命摩西用這些聖膏油來膏抹會幕裡的聖具，以及用來膏立祭司。
毫無疑問，肉桂必定是珍貴和價值不菲的。
