granddaughters as reported in this news article. They had apparently

I went to Permai Policlinic to remove a stye, in my right eye, which has been bugging me since February. So I decided to get an operation since it was getting worse. It effect my sight and of course, *cough* looks *cough*. However the doctor suggested to see an eye specialist a.k.a orthopaedist.
So she gave me a letter (refer above picture), which I am still puzzled about the content.
Cut the story short, I went to SMC and the orthopaedist successfully removed the stye. Thank god! after 5 months. Overall, I need to fork out a total of RM450.00.
- First day - eye check up, medicine and consultation (from the doctor) – RM230.00
- Second day - operation and more consultations (from the doctor and nurse) – RM220.00
- Third day - take off the eye patch and a lot of consultations (from the doctor, nurse, especially from families and friends) – RM0 J
Thank you Dr. Molly!
On Saturday, still recovering from the operation, I played basketball with my friends at Damai Hall. It was more than a decade (if i'm not mistaken) since i played my last indoor basketball. It was fun. Considering I played with some familiar faces back in high school. There was like 16 of us and a whole court to play with.
Still, my joy was short-lived when I injured my ankle. I landed awkwardly on my left ankle after doing a lay-up. Nevertheless, I continued to play assuming it was only a small injury. Men usually don’t cry over small things right? The next day I found out this on my ankle.
Maybe I had torn my muscle when I landed. Now, I can’t walk properly. *sigh*. Looking forward for another basketball game though. ;)

Huh? You may wonder as what Leonidas is trying to convey.
He was actually referring to this
Eat mussel life longer, east oyster last longer!!! Couldn’t agree less with you Leonidas!
Hari Peladang, Penternak dan Nelayan 2008 was held at Tamu KPD, Tanjung Lipat, on July from 3rd to 6th. It is an annual event organized by Sabah Agricultural Ministry to boost small and medium agriculture entrepreneurs in Sabah. It is kinda like a big tamu, which it is held annually, instead of monthly/weekly basis. Seafood Festival was one of many main attractions of the event.
Preparing the oyster
So my sisters and I took this opportunity to try out the seafood. So we ordered;
- 3 kg of mussel
- 2 kg of cockle
- 2 boneless ikan bahulu
My precious mussel *nyum nyum*
And the boneless baulu, *drool*
And finally...
*burp*
I ate to my hearts content. Of course, I purposely left the oysters intact for Leonidas and his 300 men to enjoy.
Looking forward for this event next year. Till then, keep on easting.

29th June was my birthday. I refused to celebrate my birthday, as it reminds me that I’m getting older by year. I did celebrate birthday, but that was way back before I reached adolescent. Received a few wishes from relatives and close friends, and I would say I’m grateful, for at least some, memorize the day I was born.
The weather on that morning turns out to be excellent, so I decided to take a break at the Tanjung Aru 3rd Beach with my sisters. It’s been awhile since I last went on having a day out, family members included, in the weekend. The last trip was with my relatives to Kundasang, which was about a year ago. It was quite memorable as we spent a night at a lodge, along with my uncle’s TM co-workers.
We hadn’t much prepared, so we brought whatever necessary. We didn’t get into the water, as other visitors were mostly doing (and their dogs too!). So there we were; the only intention was to relax and enjoy a decent barbeque. I brought along a book to kill off the time. Just so you know, I dozed off several times. *yawn*. I was like. Sleep. Read. Eat. Sleep. Read. Eat. By noon, everyone was so dull, so we decided to head home.
oh, and a happy 27th birthday to me. *grin*

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

Thursday, June 19, 2008
On 1st of June 2008, I participated in the very first woodsball event in Sabah, hosted by the Boondocks Barrack. It was my first ever woodsball game and I enjoyed it a lot. I wont write a long summary like the other game I joined, instead post a picture here to share the unforgettable moment. After all, a picture worth’s a thousand words. :)

Check this out! My thesis topic comes out in Assoc. Prof. Mohd For bin Mohd Amin curriculum vitae!
My friend, Hafiz typed my name on the yahoo search and guess where did it lead? Mr. Mohd. For CV! Wow, it has been 5 years since I last met him. He taught subject on rock and soil during my undergraduate studies. He also guided me throughout my thesis preparation. You can view his full CV on

It’s been 336 hours (a fortnight ago) since the government reduces oil subsidies. There are many reviews in the air from the public on that sudden decision. The effect has certainly hit the lower income group as the hike had caused a domino effect. Household things price has also went up due to rising cost in transportation. Basic foods such as fish, meat, vegetable and other rose gradually although several measures have been taken to slower the impact. The rising price has certainly increased our inflation rate.
Bus express operators wants to increase their fares. yahu!
What struck my mind is the sharp increase, RM0.78 and RM1.00 for petrol and diesel respectively, from the previous price. Malaysia, as an oil exporter should benefit from the rising price of petroleum, hence why should we suffer from the global petroleum price? Secondly is the unexpectedness of the decision. At first Dato’ Shahrir Samad (domestic trade and consumer affairs Minister) said that the government would only reduce the subsidies on August. It would come as a surprise as the government implemented it ahead of scheduled, specifically on 4th of June. I know it is inevitable but these 2 factors really irritated me.
Nevertheless, looking by the global trend, Malaysian government can’t sustain the subsidy on oil in the long run. It must somehow decrease directly, or indirectly. I read a newspaper saying that Malaysia will become a net oil importer country in between 2011 to 2013, as our oil reserve has dried up. We haven’t got much time, so we need to hasten our method on lessening the burden of public.
In my humble opinion, we need to find alternatives, other than petrol or diesel, as a source of energy for vehicle. What about NGV, LPG, palm oil etc? I knew that some taxis in KL are using NGV as it is cheaper compared to petrol. Why hasn’t it introduced extensively to the general public? Too much dependability on petrol alone will cause the price to sour beyond our reach. Desperate times calls for desperate measures.
On the other hand, the most effective way is to upgrade our public transportation system. It is so far the only method that managed reliance on own transport. Many large cities in the worlds e.g., Tokyo, London, New York etc have a good integrated public transportation system. Having a good system means public can save more on their monthly income for other means such as food.
Hence, we need to solve problem by overcoming the causes rather than the effect. There is no point bickering on the rising world oil prices. We need to sit down and think the solution rather than squabble on whose fault it is from. I hope the government can find ways to minimize the people burden. It is no point walking in the corridor of power if you cant helps people that choose you in authority.
(To note: crude oil has reached nearly USD$140.00 per barrel, as for now 18th June 2008 from a mere USD$60.00 per barrel on 11th August 2005).
