Farewell.

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
From whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

 

I think this is the best song I can find on youtube that suits the mood right now.

Few months ago, 2 colleagues from Kuala Lumpur came to Penang. One was Shida (fresh graduate) and another one was Ayie.

After a week or so, we got close. Both of them were so friendly and the best thing was we had many things in common.

I went to Kuala Lumpur very often lately, together with both of them and Keith. The journey was full of fun. We laughed, we talked and we teased each other happily. I tried to be the best shoulder for them to cry on. Even though I was not a good listener and could not give best advise, I’m still glad that I was there for them when they needed me. Remember the moment when we break the fast together at Hammer Bay?

We played badminton. We played table tennis. Too many things we did together. Even though, Cameron Highlands and Danok plans were cancelled for some reasons. But I hope both of you will come again, together to Penang again and maybe we can go travel somewhere together too. I hope.

Gosh!

I’m still sad even though I did not cry just now. But that is me. I always keep thing inside. Deep in my heart, no one knows.

Shida is on her way now. Drive safely Shida. Always remember us here.

Ayie is packing his last stuff at the house now. When I hugged him just now, I almost cry. But I tried to stay calm and be strong. He is going to take a nap and will be driving back later. Drive safely Ayie! Same thing, remember us here!

All the best to both of you! We are going to miss both of you so much! Love you :(

Punctured

331771_10150339518633590_628158589_8210959_313260468_o

Bad luck today. But, who cares? :)

As usual, I stayed at office until 7pm to finish my work (well, I know it’s so impossible to finish work! if not, why do you go to work everyday?). Got a call from my mom that my sister is sick and could not drive to fetch my niece.

It rained heavily and strong wind too at the office. Luckily, the traffic was not that bad.

On the way to the nursery house, I did not see the hole on the road because it was covered with the water from the rain. Boom! My left-back tyre already in that freaking hole and made a “cute” sound.

“Wow!” I shouted. (actually it was other word but not suitable to be written in here haha).

Mom was shocked too.

I realized my tyre got sound when I was almost reach my house and yes, I guessed it right, the tyre is punctured!

Great.

I just bought a GPS (Garmin nuvi 1350 and cost me RM560) and now this tyre is helping me hehe. Oh yea, mom remind me about road tax and insurance that I have to pay next month.

Ok, fine. MacBook Pro 15” should be kept in my dreamland again for the third time.

Known also as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, its official name is Wat Phra Chettuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Ratchaworamahawihan (Thai: วัดพระเชตุพนวิมลมังคลารามราชวรมหาวิหาร IPA: [wát pʰráʔ tɕʰêttupʰon wíʔmon maŋkʰalaːraːm râːttɕʰawɔːráʔmahǎːwíʔhǎːn]). The temple is also known as the birthplace of traditional Thai massage.

It has been a while since I blogged last. I have to fight the laziness and excuses that I’m very busy now. Yes, with all the craps created by my office; we were forced to be cleaner even though we pay those contract cleaners. Weird isn’t it? Plus, my assignments are attacking me badly. I must make sure that I can submit them all before the due date!
Since it was few months ago I visited Bangkok, my memory is getting weaker. Haha. Yes, I have to remember them in detail if I want to write about it :)
I’ve visited 2 temples when I was there. So, let me start with Wat Pho first. It’s also known as Temple of the Reclining Buddha.

I’d like to share some pictures with you here. Enjoy!

Kerajaan Arab Saudi membayar 1 bilion Riyal Saudi sebagai kifarah kerana tersalah umum tarikh Eidul Fitri yang sepatutnya jatuh pada 31 Ogos bukan 30 Ogos. Anak bulan yg kelihatan rupanya adalah planet Saturn! Kerajaan Arab Saudi memerintahkan rakyatnya berpuasa sehari bagi menggantikan puasa yg tertinggal.

Half man.

Half Man - Half Price Store ~ The Story of Peng Shuilin

In life we keep complaining about what is or why we don't have.

Half the time we seem dissatisfied, though full-bodied and free to choose. Fat people say, "I want to be slim." Skinny people say," I want to be fatter."

Poor people want to be rich and rich are never satisfied with what they have.


[]

PENG Shuilin is 78cms high. He was born in Hunan Province , China .

In 1995, in Shenzhen, a freight truck sliced his body in half.

His lower body and legs were beyond repair.



[]

Surgeons sewed up his torso.

Peng Shuilin, 37, spent nearly two years in hospital in Shenzhen, southern China ,

undergoing a series of operations to re-route nearly every major organ or system inside his body.

Peng kept exercising his arms, building up strength, washing his face and brushing his teeth.


[]

He survived against all odds.

Now Peng Shulin has astounded doctors by learning to walk again after a decade.


[]

Considering Peng's plight, doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing devised an ingenious way to allow him to walk on his own,

creating a sophisticated egg cup-like casing to hold his body, with two bionic legs attached.


[]

It took careful consideration, skilled measurement and technical expertise.

Peng has been walking the corridors of Beijing Rehabilitation Centre

with the aid of his specially adapted legs and a re-sized walking frame.


[]



RGO is a recipicating gait orthosis, attached to a prosthetic socket bucket.

There is a cable attached to both legs so when one goes forward, the other goes backwards.

Rock to the side, add a bit of a twist and the leg without the weight on it advances, while the other one stays still, giving a highly inefficient way of ambulation.

Oh so satisfying to 'walk' again after ten years with half a body!


[]


Hospital
vice-president Lin Liu said: "We've just given him a checkup; he is fitter than most men his age."

Peng Shuilin has opened his own bargain supermarket,

called the Half Man-Half Price Store.

The inspirational 37-year-old has become a businessman

and is used as a role model for other amputees.

At just 2ft 7ins tall, he moves around in a wheelchair giving lectures on recovery from disability.

His attitude is amazing, he doesn't complain.

"He had good care, but his secret is cheerfulness. Nothing ever gets him down."


You have a whole body. You have feet.

Now you have met a man who has no feet.

His life is a feat of endurance, a triumph of the human spirit in overcoming extreme adversity.

Next time you want to complain about something trivial, don't.
Remember Peng Shulin instead.

                                                         

Life Is a Gift


Today before you say an unkind word -
Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food -
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife -
Think of someone who ' s crying out to GOD for a companion.  
Today before you complain about life -
Think of someone who went too early  

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job -  
Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down -  
Put a smile on your face and think:
you're alive and still around.

 

--
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
e e cummings (1894 - 1962)

2. lelaki tu tak akan lari meninggalkan dia

3. hebat di ranjang

"Saya datang untuk cuba nasib jadi suami awak" kata si lelakikudung tu.

 

Lalu si janda tu meminta si lelaki tu untuk menjelaskan kalau diadapat memenuhi 3 syarat seperti dalam iklan.

Lalu laki tu berhujah:

 

"syarat yg pertama, dah tentu saya dapat penuhi disebabkan sayatidak ada tangan untuk memukul awak"

 

"Syarat yang kedua, mana mungkin saya akan tinggalkan awakdisebabkan saya tidak ada kaki untuk berlari"

 

"Jadi syarat yang ketiga tu bagaimana nak buktikan" celah si jandatu.

 

 

"Eeerrrrr, cuba awak fikir. tadi saya ketuk pintu dengan apa" ujarlelaki kudung tu dengan bangga.
