I Love Malaysia

Malaysia has passed the second half of the century after merdeka. At 50+1 years old, Merdeka Malaysian can be thankful for the peace and harmony we experience. Lee Chong Wei's "datuk"ship is indeed well earned. He represents the vibrant and energetic Malaysia is today. The TV ad about a young man wanting to buy half a teh tarik from a mamak is so cute. It's not only cute, the ad is a sneak preview of our beautiful mix culture. Mix believe, mix language and alamak my post is getting too long already.

Love you Malaysia, may we prosper in peace and harmony.

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...

I am 45, female, bp 110/70, weighs 63kg, height 164cm, bmi of 23. Able to climb Bukit Tabur . Twice ! A Chemical Engineer. And a mother of four. Did I tell you that I've climb Bukit Pelindung, Kuantan? Well that story some other time. Well! Fantastic! You'd think. This is one well rounded woman ha! But my glucose level was 7.3, that makes me a pre-diabetic person. What was that? Pre-diabetic? Well that means in Malay "disyaki kencing manis." That was in November last year. Last Monday I was CONFIRMED with diabetes (kencing manis.) Doktor kata penyakit kencing manis ni tiada ubat. Ia cuma boleh dikawal. Kene kurangkan berat badan, no sugar, no susu pekat, no rambutan, no pisang, makan nasi satu cawan je, ambik sayur and ulam banyak2. Sedih. So skrang doktor start medication utk kawal gula lah. Ubat ni mujarab katenye. Saya kene turunkan berat badan, bila berat turun, cholesterol pun turun dan gula pun akan turun dan mudah dikawal. Kata nurse pulak, ubat yg dibagi tu u...

Fix my Jeep

Image
Where to start with this old '96 Jeep of mine. Must have been 5 years now since we last used it. (Pic is taken during the good old times, probably in '98! From left: Ajim 4 now 15, Emi & Liyana) A lot of mishaps with this Jeep, ever since we first bought it. A week after taking it from the dealer, I took it to KL with my kids and maid. We had our first break down, at Karak, a brand new car, rosak tepi jalan, with kids in it... what a blow that was. We had it towed to KL and fixed a leaking clutch fluid tube, purgh. The wear and tear is expensive for this Jeep. One by one the sensors failed on us! They must have been substandard, locally assembled lah kan. Then a major part rosak and not available locally. Tah macam mane, one workshop managed to fix it. But then other problems arise and we didn't use it for quite a white. Then we bought a Wira hatchback and I got to use a company car. So we gave the Jeep a rest. Just too long. It ended up at a garbage dump hauled there...
