On recovery

~.~.~.~.~.~
Drinking plenty of milk, & eating Kiwi fruit helps the bone/ tissue repair.
In the meantime, as little salt in the food as possible... I will miss it much.
Later I'll be viewing another flat that I saw 2months back, can't tell for now if the seller wants to sell or is still shopping for a better deal, but 2 months for them to sell the flat is awfully long time (that's the plus for me *grin* ).

Wo-ho~ Got our wedding photos cd from the bridal shop =)
Here's a preview ~

In Memory of my neighbour Mr Lau SL

Life is short, let's face it.
Plenty of chances and changes of its highs and low lows.
It just seem like yesterday that my neighbor moved in with his wife & 3 kids.
I thought that hey, some one's our neighbor, should be quite fun & all.
It is.
His kids are my brother & my childhood friends, those are the times =)
It's been a good 20 - 22 years since they moved in with us, there were times when we were busy with our own things, they with theirs, some petty misunderstandings (but we persisted for our friendship), in all still good.

Apparently he had an heart attack when he was in Genting, his wife & their 2 relatives + 1 friend were with him. The Genting clinic could not revive him even when he was not dead and brought to their clinic. WTF?!
After he died, the KL police TOOK their sweet time to register their case. AND their level of English was SO APPALLING, that they only know how to converse in Malay. & the family friend was instructed by the policeman attending to them to type the incident report in English, so he typed.
I really wonder why bother at all to have a police force at all - while one hand to promote tourism, the other services such as medical and security aspects were so downtrodden. It's downright disgusting.
And the funeral services from KL didn't do their homework about getting the proper documentations - such that they missed out the one about the export permit from JB to SG - the poor wife got to wait for about 3 hours at the JB Customs? The poor woman was in shock (had started holding her husband's jacket and started to talk to the jacket while in the police station). Such Service!
I was angry for the past few days now.

Feeling a little lost

These days, I didn't rest well, tdy finally finally remember my password ...
Anyway, caught a digestive tract infection, was down with a low grade fever & diarrhea yesterday and today, feeling all sap of energy, had to drink honey water the whole day ... bh...
Can't think of how i caught it ... can't tell the food from good or bad these days ... argh ....

Lousy Sunday

I been out on a short jog today, seems the throat infection + sinus infection (later) 3 weeks odd ago really wiped me out.... did 2 rounds at the park... then my pressure went up wuite high ... have to stop there ... plus, this morning abt 3am, some car's alarm at my carpark went off and continued to scream for the next 3 hours , I could not tolerate it nor sleep , looking like a panda now , grumpy too . Had called the police .. they weren't much help, couldn't cut the alarm, only to call the owner . Not sure if the owner had turned up, or the battery ran out ... it is a nightmare , my whole family was up. Wish I know some mechanics, I would have cut up the alarm.

Looking for hdb flats

Really ran out of patience with the HDB market these couple of weeks, been seeing flats , re-defining what matters in the selection - area, condition of the flat, cleanliness, noise, transport etc etc .

What really irks is that some house owners actually hope that they can get lucky - putting the flats on the market, knowing the condition of the flat is run down, still asking for 30K - 60K above valuation. Get real !

There's this flat that I saw 3 days ago, real pristine condition, clean white walls, clean tiles, clean ceilings, got a recess, LUP done, little cooking in the house and high floor, too bad that I can't compete with the highest bidder of 60K above valuation. It's the only flat so far that is really worth even forking out cash for.

Just have to keep looking.

GM foods

I've recently loan a new book from my neighbor, it was by Jane Goodall (the Chimpanzee lady) :: Harvest for Hope A Guide to Mindful Eating, ISBN 0-446-53362-9.

This book talks about human consumption of food, to meet these demands, corporation farmers had change the way of the way of traditional farming i.e. Free range , corp rotation etc, to one of enclosed farms i.e. chickens in cages, fishes in pens, cattle in tight pens, pigs in enclosures; the animals are being fed with GM crops, animal remains ; in negligent cases had caused land waste (i.e. pigs' manure contained in concrete land sinks - if leaked - the land near it is ruined and the super bad oder , argh), water pollution (the left over feed from feeding the farmed fishes (salmon in some cases) and the nitro from their wastes - contributed to the green algae patches that run for miles), cows fed remains of their dead (maybe sick/ rotten) or contamination of feces - resulting in diseased cows, Mad cows . Even crops - maybe GM, chickens fed with antibiotics, the humans that consumed them maybe be resistant to some antibiotics, when the viruses mutate, they are no longer able to be killed by the same type of the antibiotics that are normally prescribed.

I would recommend you to read her book for a wider scope of the dangers of consumption of GM foods.

New Lap Top

It is hard to part with some money, esp when my Motherborad's Bios died. More so when I don't know how it did ..
Any ways, just got a new Vaio today, rather pleased with it. Hopefully it lasts more than 2 years. hmm ..

Phuket Trip

Hmm .. No idea how to link the pictures from the Phuket trip... still figuring.

Chicky Pox

What appears to be a small water base 'pimple' be came chicky pox in a few days.
So any ways, my bf had the incident of having the chicky pox when most of the population had it when they are in the primary school, inculdeing me *smicks* , though I had chicky scars lol .. .
On Wed, we were both late to work, so we took the same train. He kind of ask me what the small proturding skin was. I thought it was just a pimple, coz it had some water, was a size of maybe 0.1 cm arcoss, shouldn't be any thing serious, at least it was not acne. ><

So that was 2 days ago. yesterday he had more of the same thing and had them on the back of the neck. Today he had them on his tummy. wow.

I'm seeing him tmr, it is should a inchy illness for the sufferer. Maybe buy some things over to lessen the symptoms i.e. fever, itch .

Babel - The movie

Babel (2006)
Directed by
Alejandro González Iñárritu

Babel is one of the most intelligent and artfully made films of 2006. The film has two central themes - culture and communication. It also exposes the connections between these themes in the arenas of politics, religion and geography sensitively and intelligently. The tag-line, though intentionally obtuse, sums the film up well - "If you want to be understood... Listen" - The parable is designed to speak to people all over the world who seem to believe that the meaning and importance of political boundaries somehow supersedes the value of humanity. It has especially important messages for Americans, however. And its release was well timed to coincide with an election (2006) which may, in the long term, provide some hope for American foreign policy.

The film brilliantly weaves four deeply interconnected stories engaging five cultures on three continents. The cultures are North American, Mexican, Islamic, Japanese and Japanese/deaf. At the heart of each tragedy is an inability to communicate. The tragedy begins for each with bad decisions that spin each plot somewhat out of control once cultural interference and miscommunication kick in.

Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchett play a troubled American couple having very little fun on a vacation in the Middle East. Susan (Blanchett) is shot by a young boy practicing with a gun (The two Middle Eastern boys who play the brothers in this film give Oscar-worthy performances, unfortunately I can't get their names out of IMDb easily). Three crises are simultaneously set off, as their nanny must find a way to attend her son's wedding in Mexico while Susan's medical crisis unfolds, and the poor Islamic family responsible for the gun begin to undergo a devastating crisis of their own. Of course the United States executive branch (not the government - sorry, we are still a democracy regardless of who sits in the oval office) interprets the crisis as an act of terrorism and a political crisis threatens to doom Susan to bleeding to death in a small remote town in the desert. Finally, in a seemingly disconnected story, Chieko (Rinko Kikuchi), a young, deaf, Japanese volleyball player is coming of age. Her mother has committed suicide and she seems bound to work out her problems with her father by devoting herself to a lascivious lifestyle.

This movie touched base on many things i.e. solitude even in the company of others. Direction was good and well woven. 8/10 .

A prayer

Sometimes, in need, when all is lost, we can only depend on the Good lord to turn things around.

To turn the situations and to turn the hearts to a better purpose.

Amen.

Ahchoo ! My lord , cure my sinus infection & gum infection & sore throat , amen

Death Note 2 : The Last Name

~ ~ ~
In Death Note, the beholder of the Death Note is free to write any name into the book, once the name is written the person's whose name was written will die in 40 seconds of a heartattack, unless otherwise stated for the time of death, method of death.

If there are times when humans are put to the test of being a controller for the lifes (or rather the control of sending a living being to his/her death), what will you decide?

Have the fella to be a law enforcer ? Where does the line draw between the good and the bad ?
Does minor crimes and rudeness equate to penalty for death too?

Or would you be in free control, as in the new God of the world ? To send anyone to death as freely as you pleased?

I would burn the death note book, if there is such a book.

I think each of us have a certain limit here on earth, eventually, death becomes us all, though knowing that the beholder have the power to send someone to its death earlier than what it should be, this situation only serves the purpose of making the living to live easier. But it does not eliminate the life 'on the other side' if there is the other side after death. LOL ... irony. What we don't know , could not see in life after death, we don't care. If we suffer in the life on the other side, let the time there take care of itself .. >< Karma Karma ...
