PM: We can fight bird flu
(from - http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/2/24/nation/13485178&sec=nation)

SEREMBAN: Malaysia is ready with the necessary mechanisms to fight bird flu, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
“The Health Ministry and relevant departments are monitoring the situation carefully and we have the necessary mechanisms to put into action if there are any problems,” he told reporters after presenting cheques to Felda Sendayan settlers here.
“It involves a few ministries and we will take whatever necessary action as needed.
“This includes getting information from our neighbouring countries on what can be implemented to solve the problem. There needs to be information.”

In KUALA LUMPUR, only four people, including two latest cases, remained under observation at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, said Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek.
He said one of them showed no signs of having contracted the flu while a two-year-old child was placed in the isolation ward.
He said the two latest cases were taken to the hospital to undergo tests.
“They will be discharged tomorrow (Friday) if they test negative for the avian flu,” he told reporters after opening the healthcare conference on diabetes management.
“There is no case of the avian flu affecting people in Malaysia. We only have confirmed avian flu cases among chickens.”

Veterinary Services Department acting director-general Datuk Dr Mustapa Jalil said strict surveillance, checking of premises and the culling exercise were continuing.
“As of today (yesterday), 1,970 chickens, 62 ducks, 72 birds and 505 eggs have been destroyed,” he said in a statement.
Dr Mustapa said surveillance of an area between a 2km and 10km radius of the affected area, which started yesterday, was to ensure that Kuala Lumpur, Ulu Klang, Gombak and its surrounding neighbourhoods were free from avian flu.
“The surveillance is carried out by teams from the department in Selangor,” he said.
“So far, our teams have taken 114 swab samples from 237 birds belonging to 24 residents and three pet shops located in Selayang and Hulu Klang.

“All have tested negative.”

with all the talk about bird flu, I really think this big, yellow bird should be under quarantine.

I think I'm in love

Oh my gosh!!

I really think I'm falling in love.
The song - Kiss Goodbye by Lee Hom is really driving me gaga.
I've been like keep playin' the track repeatedly for like almost four days in a row.
This has never happened before.
And why is it happening now?
I've got butterflies in my stomach.
Damn.


ps: 'Thanks' a lot to Yvonne! She simply just caused it.

Nevertheless, a new day has begun.

His Majesty Condom

Last weekend evening I was surfing thru the channels & settled down with this sort of Taiwanese 'King of Adventure' sort-of documentary show. Anyway, this week, it was about the Egyptian culture, pyramids & history. It was quite appealing actually. Well,probably I’m got nothing much to do at that time.

One very peculiar thing that caught my attention though. Even the host was surprised. Back to ancient times, possibly 3000 years ago, condoms were actually existed. Hahahah.. Guys are still guys man. Hahahha.. it was pretty hilarious. For me, at least. Back then & now, guys are still bloody typical maniacs. Anyway, this ancient condom (only for pharaohs) looks like a sort-of animal skin belt that you’ll tie around your waist & a little pouch sort-of look to well.. shield your little family jewels. The funny things is you can even wash it when it's 'dirty' & after 'used'. Hahaha..

1.Some people believed that legendary Pharaohs became Egyptian gods. Do you? 2.Royal family emphasized between mankind and the life giving force of the sun disk. 3.Mummified monkey buried and provided with grave goods is evidence for a cult of sacred animals".

Damn, I don’t have the ancient condom picture to upload here. I tried looking for the image online but couldn’t find. But I came across this article about ancient Egyptian condoms…


…. Ancient Egyptian women were tired of applying the ointment of crocodile excrement and honey tincture as vaginal contraceptives, and the heavy burden of contraception fell on men’s fragile shoulders. Meticulous archeologists found out that the first ancestor of the modern condom appeared in Ancient Egypt in the XIII century B.C. Tose condoms did not resemble the thing that you wear sometimes – ancient condoms were lubricated intestines of animals.

Yuck! They smelled awful and looked horrid. Other sources say that ancient condoms were made of leather, then people started making contraceptive devices from bull bladders and sheep blind guts. The modern history of a condom started in 1564, when Italian scientist Gabriel Fallopius invented a little “bag” for male genitals. At first, it was made of linen, but then they started using the coating of animal intestines, which was imbued with special medicines and inorganic salt. This condom covered the top of a penis and was fixed with the help of a pink ribbon. Why was it pink - there is no answer to this question. By the way, that mediaeval condom was not meant for one-time use, and it was supposed to be carefully washed after every use...

A condom is not simply a word, it was the last name of a courtier baker of the English King Carl II. The king asked his servant to invent something that would protect his crowned penis from syphilis. As a result, the king was offered to use a little bag, made of sheep intestines, but this time there was no ribbon on it. This device was then used by all English noblemen.

Practically all men complain of the biggest disadvantage of a condom – some guys say that wearing a condom is like kissing a girl that wears a gas mask. There was an idea to make a little penis hat out of a long condom – a hat that could be put on the top of a penis for more enjoyment. It was even offered to glue such a hat to the ……

Haha. News to you. Same to me. Just love documentaries & discoveries, culture & beliefs, but that doesn't make me a boring girl ok.

Fixated horrendous egocentric ogre

Some people just don’t have THE sense. Stop being such an egoistic & selfish old toot. Aged enough to use your bloody brain to think the right things obviously. It’s not only you & your stuck-up life is important. This world is not just about YOU. I have a life too. And I want to keep it private. So do I have to tell you everything?

Asshole.
I’m pissed.
F*cking annoyed.
Just want to sulk.
Don’t bother me.
Leave me alone.
Period.

ChoonWee's Bday -20-10-84-
His bash -09-12-05 @ KlangClub & Zeta Bar -

ChoonWee's bday! Well, he celebrated at Australia with his buddies over there before he was back here. When he's back and all, each time, it makes me feel the time just flies very fast. Suddenly he's back. And suddenly he's back there. Wow.

Anyway it was a blast on his bday back here. From Klang Club to Zeta Bar, KL Hilton. One world to describe. FUN.

groupy dinner @ Klang Club

It was pretty funny before we reached Klang Club that night. FeiLing & Allan came to Yvonne's house to pick me & her up. Halfway to the club, she suddenly shrieked. Why? She forgotten ChoonWee's present. U-turn back to her house, she couldn't find it. Probably cause she panicked. Finally after few frantic minutes, she found it by her stairs. Haha. Reached there at the same time with HuayPin & KokHau. ChoonWee's uni friends all over Malaysia were there already.

After our dinner orders, I accompanied Yvonne to pick her cousin, KyeLie up from her tuition class. She drove Allan's car, & was asked to pump petrol first before heading to BBK cause the petrol was really low. Well, unfortunately we really got stuck in the middle of old Klang bridge. Gosh. With hazard lights on, some typical stupid idiotic drivers still got their car so near, almost kissing our ass, then they got stucked. Honked & show typical Malaysian signs of frustration. And our heroes for the night were KokHau & Allan with 2 bottles of petrol.

me, ChoonWee (bday boy), FeeFee, Yvonne @ zeta

me & yvonne (half blur) @ zeta

Look at us. Definitely blur. Haha. Few puffs of ciggies & gags of Chivas. Red-eyed monsters were born. It was also the first night I land my ass on a nice puddle of Chivas seat. Don't get what I mean? Good!

KL Hilton's Christmas deco was really really nice. Zeta Bar is well, nicely designed & furnished but the atmosphere was a bit mind-numbing. Everyone is just standing around. Sigh. Crashed in Yvonne's house & finally called it a night. Thanks ChoonWee.

My Bday -05-09-84-
My Bash -09-09-05 @ Kokomo -

Last year was my 21st year in this world. Nothing special was planned for my bday. Just a simple easy-going-get-together night with some close friends at Kokomo Garden Café on a Saturday night.

- 1st birthday cake from buddies @ kokomo -

some of the whole gang - kokomo -

Charlie is really funny. His nick. 'SLUT'. Hahaa. Haven't met up with Ele & Chee Kheng for sometime. Still the same, not much difference except that Chee Kheng cut his piggie tail off. That bloody Raymond laughed & teased Ele for not liking Carlsberg & Heinekken but to prefer Shandy more. Aww. Come on. This is a free world baby. Everyone has their own rights to choose whatever & whoever they like. Sheeshh...But it was quite funny to hear them 'debating' & looking at their expression at that time. Haha.

Shittz. Getting old is really happening fast. Sigh.

the girls - (clockwise) FeiLing, Elena, Yvonne, Me, Cass

My dear fubu Lay Fong, couldn't make it. Ee Lyn FFK me. (I'll remember that) Joye got something on. Huay-Pin & ChoonWee still in Perth. BoonKee in Melbourne. Thanks to myself. Why? I gave a late notice. Damn. Boyfriend? Ya. Went astray in the shadows. Hidden.

me & buddy raymond (M.I.A. nowadays)

Surprisingly, Raymond & Charlie showed up. He told me, he wouldn’t come (over some super lame reasons) but end up in front of me that night. Quite happy actually, even though he was empty-handed. Hehe. Never mind. His presence matters more. Get a girlfriend, will ya, ray!! Lonely piece of lovely f*ck!!!

Happy Birthday, Michelle!~

Friend or Enemy?

Oh ya..
And I still haven't talk to her since I don't remember when.
And I don't feel like talking to her since then.
And I don't feel like mentioning about her again.
And I don't feel or think it's wasted.
For what is a friend to her.

It's been awhile.

WoW!! It's been a year since I've updated this blog. A lot of things had happened throughout last year though. Sigh.. Time really flew fast. And I'm OLD dy.
And yesterday was another lonely Valentine's. It wasn't that bad.. At least I was out with my *single* friends, Paul & ManYee to have a nice dinner & hit the movies later at Pyramid.

valentine triplets - cute chiq - man yee - me & paul - garage -

Seriously, DERAILED is really not that pleasing if it's not for Jennifer Aniston. It was really slow & a bit "3 star porn-y" at first but as the main actor (whom-I-still-don't-know-his-name) gets to put the puzzles together, finally got my full attention on the movie. Well, the ending was at least better than I've expected.

Now I'm sitting in front of my pc in office 16:38, trying to get my TGV drawings done meanwhile waiting for the supplier to meet up. Hoping that there's a remote to switch my mood.

Sigh. And I'm yawning again. That's all, I guess. Hope I have the 'urge' to update this blog again tomorrow.

Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.

Goodbye Ah Huay~~

Study. Abroad. Aussie. Curtin. Leaving. My friend. Sad. Tears. Goodbye. Reunion. Nov 2005. Hopefully time passes fast. So many friends leaving to study abroad. Sigh~ Luckily Ah Huay only a year. Cass for almost 4-5 years. SOooo long. Sent her off this morning. Everything was fine when we reached the airport, her family and classmates were there, Boon Kee and his family were there too as they're going off on the same plane, casually talking ang laughing around until the moment came. The moment of walking to the departure hall. As we hugged one by one, Yvonne bursted into tears, causing most of us to start crying. Uncontrollable tears. Guys obviously stood there and act macho and all tough la. Hehehe.. Girls.. Emotional.. Definitely gonna miss her presence here. Never mind, she'll be back soon.

Aiyo.. Choon Wee gonna back to Aussie next Monday. Another one gone. Not much friends left already. Hahaa.. still got Yvonne & gang, Lay Fong, Veron, Angela they all.. Better say out if not sure later kena 'screwed' by Yvonne again! hehe..
