Really sick

I was sick during the last weekend and doctor gave MC to me on monday (21/4/08). After taking medicines recovered for 2 days. Last night the fever came back...so unbearable when whole body aching due to fever, this morning woke up but the fever getting worst. I felt guilty if I took medical leave again today so just fight with my immune system and go to work.

Took commuter train to work and slept through the journey before arriving at Bank Negara. Feel restless if I didn't manage to finish my work today. Monday and Friday was the busier day for me to release those orders to be scheduled during the weekend where operations staff worked on alternate saturday.

Busy till lunch, Azlan called me to join them for lunch with Ben and Jun. Tengah sakit teruk ni lagi nak ajak makan pizza...uish ! I went to meet them at Maju Junction Pizza Hut but too late for me to say "NO" because they have ordered for me so just eat lor.

Back from lunch, drop by at the nearby clinic. Doctor take a check on me and said I'm still fever..hehe. Kalau doctor tahu Saya makan pizza tadi...habis mesti kena marah :-) Somehow it's already nearly 2.30pm, doctor granted me a half day MC...laaaa...dah kerja 3/4 hari pun.

Back to office, I pass the MC to my boss for signatory. Guess what ? My boss said you look ok to me, I replied : Yah, i just got fever since last night and feel whole body aching now. My close buddy (mud) came to my office to pick me up and sent me home..really thanks to him, so much caring :-)

Gloomy for a moment

Today everything look so quiet even the sky also look so gloomy in a sudden then one hour later back to normal.

Condolence to my best friend

I was shocked to received a sms at 3.50am on saturday morning from my close malay buddy saying his father has pass away due to Asthma attack. I even woke my mum up to informed. I felt so sympathy for my friend, his respectful father never re-marry after the wife has pass away so many years. He even work hard and take care of 3 children at home. The eldest son is my close buddy, his youngest brother is graduate in architect but unfortunately last september his spinal was infected by virus and make him can't walked till today.

I attended his father funeral in the morning of saturday, I'm the only chinese among all my malay buddies. I couldn't hold back my tears too by seeing my friend lost his father.

God bless u and your family, my close buddy (mud). Hope the 3 of your in the family are given more strenght by the god and bless with bright destinations.

Kapas-Marang International Swimathon 2008

It was a yearly swimathon event organised by the state government of Terengganu. All of my friends already plan a year ahead to brush up and improved their time on swimming. I'm the only one who knew last minute about their participate. I just follow to sign up without having enough time to do training at all.

We have 9 people in our team ( 8 males and 1 female ), 7 of them drive from Klang to Terengganu, myself and my best friend (Bukhari) go by bus. We arrived in marang at 4am and my friend went for prayer in the masjid, myself just sit outside masjid to wait for my friend until he finished perform his prayer.

We walked to the marang jetty just behind the masjid. Wah..noticed the sky look so beautiful before sunrise. Here are some nice pictures taken :-

After breakfast, we adjourned to register before transfered by speedboat to Pulau Kapas.

Kapas island, look at the water is so calm actually current under water is quite strong. We are going to swim from pulau kapas to pantai kelulut, marang on the next day at 7.30am..scary, tension and pressure :-( never in my life I dare to take up this challenge to swim in open sea 6.5km under strong current not considering the deep sea and the scary sea creatures. Oh my godness, it's really a spirit challenge. Dah sign up pun, terpaksa cuba jer la...

It's not all about the money but is the spirit challenge is come in place. Think back how many people dare to swim at open sea under strong current and sting by those sea creatures?

The light house

The beautiful island of Kapas

This'll be the kayak boat to use by the rescuer tomorrow

Oh..nooooo...the race will be start in 1 hour, after breakfast. We check out from the chalet at 6.30am and proceed to second registration and body marking for individual registration no.

Our team

Upon waiting for the race to start, lily gan ( The only female in our team) who called by NTV 7 to describe about pulau kapas in mandarin..sempat lagi interview...hehe. She's one of the participant who managed to complete the 6.5km swimathon..syabas to her :-) A strong female who worried so much about the ocean current, jelly fish and deep sea earlier.

The finishing medal

I think I should said if swimmers win in this competition, I don't feel proud of them except this OKU team is the one who I respect the most. All of them make it to finishing line with either a pair of hand or a pair of legs.

Congratulations to our Mr.Han, the veteran championship who won prizes and cash of RM1000.

Congratulations to all the participants who managed to swim till finishing line. See your next year !

Prayers for Cheng Meng

Prayers for Nenek and Atuk ( Cheng Meng )

Today woke up at 6am, drive mum to go for cheng meng prayers at my Nenek and Atuk grave. I was prepared to face the jam but didn’t expect it would be so bad, stranded in the car for more than 3 hours…terrible. Tak breakfast lagi tu, kesian my mum :-(

Terrible jammed

Reaching the place, car can’t go up to the hill, not much choice I have :-( I parked my car and walked to find my nenek & atuk grave. So many years I didn’t visited their grave since I move to my new house…find and find…couldn’t find. I’m so worry because the whole place was so much changes…so much worried…sweating under the hot sun. I asked my mum to wait for me from far with an umbrella so she don’t have to walked with me since my car can’t drive up due to the jammed. As I walked and find under the hot sun, my mum was looking at me from far till I found. It take me almost 45minutes to find, I almost lost and almost cry if I can’t find since I come so far….keep praying and speak out “Atuk..Nenek..where are you? Let me find your grave. I almost drop my tear”. The moment I found my grandparent grave I’m so happy. Below is the pictures I took from my grandparent grave. so nice..still maintained clean :-)

Nice crafting still maintain clean

Nice view in front of my grandparent grave

My mum told me that “kesian anakku, sweating like shower when searching for my grandparent grave". At least I managed to find kalau tak risau giler.

CNY gift from my company

As usual every year when Chinese New Year festive season is coming, my company will give a small gift to everyone in the office as a token. This year I got a packet of Mushroom, 2 packets of groundnut, some oranges and lime oranges. Don’t mistake about the new dollars notes, that’s mine…hehe. I changed it from the bank to give my mum for preparing “ang pow” and the empty packets of small ang pow envelope was given by the bankers.

A gift for my lovely mum from bangkok

Last December’07, I took my mum for a vacation to Bangkok. I met a plain cloth Thai policeman in front of central world shopping mall while I’m taking the photo of 5 faces Buddha statue located in front of the shopping mall.

5 Faces Buddha statue, first time I see in my life.

I was told by the policeman that the jewellery distributor mainly supply to POH KONG Jewellery in Malaysia was having promotion on all gem stone, diamond, ruby stone, blue sapphire stone and etc from 20% to 25% on top of manufacturer price. This special promotion only opens to public for one day in a year only. My mum always wanted to have a Blue Sapphire Stone with diamond pendant. It’s really my lucky day…thanks to the Thai policeman.

This is the gift that I bought for my lovely mum
