I had a dream of that animal during my afternoon nap today. He was bed ridden for high fever. ... I went to the plant and wanted to go look at the lines. I ask the engineer for PPEs. Thought of first asking plant manager's permission to enter the lines. Knocked his door. Opened the door. There he was in bed! (?) He smiled, tried to get up, he had lost a lot of weight. His skin is flapping behind him as he tried to sit up. "Saya demam lah. Kena makan ubat. Ubat pun kena makan, ludah dulu kemudian telan balik." Uuggghh. Disgusting. Disgusting creature he is. ... I woke up feeling very dizzy. Pulled myself together to go pick up Ilham from school.

I was in the navy ( Malay Section of the British Royal Navy ). We sailed in HMS Scorpion ( ABDUL RAHMAN B.Y. A.B. MN 713 (Malay Section) SCORPION ) and sailed the South China Sea to the Borneo and surrounding areas. I was handling the telegraph machine, that was my job. It was the during the World War II. ( The Japanese started to raid South East Asia December 1941 thru Songkla and Patani Siam, then Thailand, followed by Malaya thru Kota Bharu. From January to February 1942, heavy war between the Japanese and British over Singapore resulting in the British surrender. ) Then our ship was bombed by the Japanese . That caused a large hole on the ship and ship began to capsize. I was with two other ship personnel - Chinese. They were cooks. We jumped ship, and swam. ( 13/02/42 M.P.K. SHIP LOSS ) Then we made it into a sampan and got away . We made it to Padang of Sumatera. Then the Japanese found us and we were captured. ( True account of HMS Scorpion is that it was attacked by Japanes...

In Memory of ....

She passed away 28th July 2008 10pm at 57 after fighting leukemia for more than one year. Innalillah wainna ilaihi rajiun. That would be my late sister Zunaida Zulkifli. A strong woman indeed. We arrived at the hospital earlier the afternoon at about 2pm. Sis Jima, Jiha, Kak Asiah, AbaChit, Ana, and Shazlan were there. The sight of her poor condition face was sorrowful. We all greeted each other before I proceeded to close upon arwah. Her eyes was closed shut, her face was spotted with broken blood vessels and she had a O2 tube going into her mouth and plasters were all over her face and head. On top of that, many smaller tubes with antibiotics, pain killer etc from syringe pumps surrounded her. BP and pulse machines were there too. So was a life supporting equipment. She had been laying there under sedative since Sunday.
