Scary but happens.

Scary right when you think about it. But the actual event happen just last year in September 2006. One of our staff in UPMKB was driving around the Campus to make her usual round and suddenly her car skidded , collided and overturn. luckyly no body was hurt as the accident happens in front of the students college, thank goodness. The student came to her rescue and soon brought to the hospital. She was in trauma for a few weeks,who would't be, i would, but now she is fine and finally got her driving licence. Yessssssss... masa tu dia tak ada lesen lagi. Siapa nak jawap.

Pseudopregnancy

Do you remember the entry i made earlier this week about Fazila, the one saying that she went back to Kayelll. Yesterday she sms me this text:

To: Allan
From: Fazila gemuk (thats what i put on my hp)

Aku declare mengandung d check in counter ingat nak buat lawak. Trs dia mintak aku sign borang. Memandangkan muka gembira dia congrat, x sanggup , aku kata dia kena tipu. x pelah boleh aku jalan dulu, rugi kertas je dia photostate 5 copy. takut dsaman la tu delay sampai orang keguguran. next time if jumpa dia lagi and x beranak2 lagi, aku cakap miscarige.
(FYI this is the exact text i got from her)

Same things happen when we were in Miri last time. We were doing some shopping and out of the blue, she was asked if she was pregnant by the salesgirl , illa was a bit shock at first but then she just .... admit that she is. Oh gosh she was so embarrased when she finally told us the story and i was on my knees laughing.

MSK ( Minggu Suai Kenal) UPMKB

Today, Carlina held a small meeting at the office to discuss the preparation on the Alumni Night for the MSK UPMKB that will be held from 30th June until 7th July 2007. MSK is actually the Minggu Suai Kenal aka Orientation Week for the new freshies. Actuall my name was inside the list of Pengarah, but i told Din Ayub to omit my name out, because i might be continuing my studies by next semester in Serdang so i might not make it or even i cannot give my utmost commitment.

The meeting held smoothly but when it comes to input from the other staf , they would always be quiet without giving any imput or suggestion. Gosh... this is whats wrong with our people especially our subordinate. They always want to be fed with ideas until to a point they could't think by themself. Siapa nak jawap tu.

I have suggest to Carlina to change to concept like Raudah , one of the talk show in Astro. The whole inviroment is conditioned like a home and the speakers will be talking and relaxing as if they are talking at home without limitation. Last year we did the same formal event , but i felt that it has lack in interaction between the panel and the student. So this time round , i suggested to take only 2 panel plus 2 senior student and 1 freshies. Hopefully we could ebolish the barrier between the panel and the freshies.

The comes the tittle.... ahhhhh another headache. I have opted to choose one from the five item listed. ( Mr interframe kan)

1. Individual preperation towars World Leadership.

2. "Start" ~ furnishing and preparation.

3. No one's left behind.(this is my choice from the start) lilo and stich

4. What builds a nation.

5. The power of ignition.

So si Carlina pun setuju. Carlina ni selalu setuju apa yang aku suggest , tu yang aku suka tu. hehhee. We end up narrowing it down to no 3 and no 5. We took a ballot on the two and the result are ties, but ended up agreeing upon no 3.

So the next step would be finding the panel .... ehhhhhhhh siapa nak iyer. tambang dan makan free engkau. ....

QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... Don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! . Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO . Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.


Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.And remember:"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming : "Woo Hoo, what a ride! "
Cheers Mates.

KLIK KLIK moment.

Wow mesti entry ini semua orang menjerit tak sudah heheeh . I am sure my sisters and brother will be furious that i post this entry. Tapi tak pelah. These pictures are taken a long long time ago in Betlehem hehehe. As you know i was brought up in an Oil Palm Estate, my mum is an English Teacher. We stayed in BAL Estate a British Company named CDC London (Commenwealth Development Corporation (L) Sdn bhd that started off during the 40's after the Brit invasion in Borneo. The Brit came to Borneo during the early 40's and started to do their plantation concentrating on Abaca in East Coast of Tawau. The actual name of BAL comes from the word Borneo Abaca Limited , Abaca or Manila hem comes from the Banana family used commonly to produce the Abaca Rope and Gunny Sack and used to transport Borneo Produce and Natural resouces back to thier main land London. During the early 40's Abaca is a precious comodity and cost highly in the market.

Soon after the early 60's, the Brit's have exhausted the natural resources in Borneo and opted to plant Oil Palm, Rubber and eventually Cocoa which would bring more money . So basically when we are young the only tree you see all around u are either Oil Palm, Rubber or Cocoa. Macam orang kampung pulak masa tu. I remember the Estate Manager Mr. Garect a Brit use to drive his land rover all around the estate . The estate people use to call him the "Head Hunter" and as a kid, we would hide everytime we saw his Land Rover because we are so afraid of him. He was believe to take peoples head and put it in the electric generator as an offering. Punyalah kuno masa tu. BTW I came from BURUT ESTATE ( entahlah macam mana diorang dapat nama ni)

There is a few estates names in BAL namely:

1. BURUT(Myestate)

2. Merotai

3. Bombalai

4. Table ( The Estate i work before) named because its a very flat area.

5 Iman

6. Tiger (named after a tiger found litering in that place)

I remember the distance of my Estate from town is around 15 mile ( masa tu guna mile) and it took us 1 hour plus by bus to reach Tawau the nearest town. Gosh going to school is a battle because kita kena bersesak sesak dengan budak lain naik bus eiterwise you will miss the bus. It would be a miracle if you catch a seat in the bus and weather is the main drawback when u stayed so far away from town , because when it rains , your white shoes will be brown of mud and when its is dry your white shirt will be brown because of the dust, so either way you still look brown. Just imagine going to school having to stand up in the bus ( which doesnt have any aircondition) for at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending how many people are in the bus. Kalau ramai orang lambatlah sampai because the driver have to make a few stops along the way.

As i said when you are in the moment , you don't really think of all those things because according to my mum, she use to walk to school almost 2 hours everyday, so taking the bus is a privillage to us. At the time rasa beruntung sangat naik bus everyday to school (Bas buruk pulak tu). I remember when i was in primary 2 and my sister is in secondary school, i use to imagine following the bus to school konon nyelah ... vanggalah masa tu naik bus.

This is my brother ( kurus je kan. macam addict pulak tu hehehe ) with my Uncle.

This is my neighbour the Perez's.

Me with Lilybeth the youngest of the Perez's ( Youngest ke)

Thats my sisters , the one with the handkerchief and the one next to the red cap.

Ini masa Hari kemerdekaan kot.

Now this is the Mam Besar my mother with her comadre .

Oh gosh this is me. Gemukkan. Hate this pic

This is my brother the model iklan rambut afro aka si Bacho.

This is my sister with one of her friends named Amoi. Pelikkan sebab sampai sekarang aku tak tau nama dia. asyik panggil Amoi je.

So this is my brother and my sister the turkey girl.

we use to have many turkey at home tapi tak pernah makan sebab my mum geli makan turkey.

Geli tengok leher turkey tu. macam kulit si kapten katanya hehehehe.

Pelik tapi benar..

Today i got this email from emma ( my ex collegue from L & G Landscaping) , Pelik tapi benar.. ala ala kuching leprecorn ( betul ke spelling tu). Kucing tumbuh kepak engkau. Just imagine if we have wings kan. bolehlah kita terbang and we don't have to follow MAS or Airasia. So we dont have to drink at the airport cafeteria yang mahal 2 paun tu ( tau taulah kita ni kan negara ketiga) , lagi jimat kos, and yang paling penting jimat kos minyak petrol, tapi kan baru pulak aku terfikir if we are fat how. Like Illa and dot dot dot ... ops mesti kepak dia tak larat nak mengangkat badan seberat ittewwwww kan. hehehe.

baru nak terbang , terus kepak dia patah, kena pulak letak simen plaster. I think it will also make the National Integration possible, don't cha think so.
