Spesies 3B! Update

They've withdrawn the report after we wrote a letter addressed to the PD and cc to all the relevant parties (a letter which I've drafted for my Dad brimming with subtle but 'pedas' missives hitting all the right parts. Baru tau never to mess with us, apa ingat bapak aku tak berpendidikan ka suka hati jak maok sabotaj???)

My cousin, a retired army officer, sent the letter with a stern message from my Dad:

"We will seek legal means if this matter is not resolved."

You should've seen the speed that they take to withdraw everything and issue a letter stating "tiada bantahan" to the District Office and a copy was sent to my Dad.

The only thing that puzzles me is that,
Why was SB involved and the speed of them withdrawing the report. Mesti tauk dirik mpun salah ndak?

They may have friends in high places,
BUT
we have a friend in the HIGHEST place, God never disappoints us!

Too Much!

Baby dies, drunk parents forgot to feed him

By STEPHEN THEN

MIRI: A baby boy, less than a month old, starved to death after his parents allegedly forgot to feed him because they were too drunk.

The baby died in the intensive-care unit of Miri Hospital yesterday morning and a police report has been lodged.

Police now want to question the parents, in their early 30s from a longhouse in southern Sarawak, who came to Miri to work and were renting a house at a low-cost housing scheme near the Sarawak-Brunei High­way, some 12km north of the city centre.

Relatives found the baby unconscious in the house and rushed him to the hospital at about 3am on Wednesday.

Miri deputy OCPD Supt Ismail Paduka Idris confirmed that the baby died in the morning.

“We are investigating claims that the parents had indulged in a prolonged drinking spree and had neglected the baby.

“Initial investigations show that the baby might have been so severely neglected that he suffered fatal consequences.

“We want to find out whether this was due to carelessness,” Supt Ismail said.

The couple also have a three-year-old daughter.

The parents refused autopsy. Read it here.

Love Stuffs

Image taken from here

Had an interesting YM conversation with my friend who'd just broke up (for good) with his two-timing ex.
This particular friend of mine was my partner-in-crime back during those uni years. Sarcastic and i-don't-give-a-damn attitude, you bet those days were fun.
I listened and I gave my opinion and advice, MY kind of advice, where I don't mince or sugar-coat my words (things I only do for friends who are worthy to be advised. Those who asks but are forever in denial; I'll never bother).
So there were some relationship issues that were raised and as usual, my alter ego Chris the philosopher comes into the picture.
Here's some of the 'love stuffs' that was triggered during our conversation:

(1)
Love sure can change a person but when is the change bad?
It's bad when we lose our own identity and we changed (molded) into what the other party wanted. For a while it will be fine but then, dissatisfaction sets in. Then we whine and complain and suffer in silence until one day, hell breaks loose.

(2) I'd never going to meet the ONE
Some people get lucky and meet their soul mate the first time they fell in love.
The majority doesn't.
Accept that.

(3)
I thought he/she was the ONE.
Yeah, everything's perfect and rosy at the beginning.
Until the cracks starts to show.
But you ignored it.
You glossed up the surface thinking that the cracks won't show.
Until the cracks deepened and breaks and everything crumbles.
That's what you'll get from a cheap, fake porcelain.
Quality ones are hard to find.
Only an experienced, discerning eye can differentiate the real thing from the fake.
And any porcelain salesman from China knows that when we allow our emotions to influence our judgment, we'll probably end up getting ripped-off.
So follow your heart, but keep your head.

p/s:
I kind of felt like an 'agony aunt' now with another close friend facing love woes and crying and whining. Not that I don't love my friends, it's just irritating when day in day out I get the same complaint from the same person. Kalau dah aku nasihat tak paham2 jugak, aku bitch slap je karang baru tau...

I'm Back to Living 6-to-5

Just reached home at 4 pm. First time ever for me to use a taxi and then a bus from the airport to home. Due to miscommunication and plain stupidity on my part, there's no one picking me up at the airport. I SMSed Dad when I was in LCCT, forgetting how 'often' he checked his mobile. Dumb me! The ride was not as bad as I expected, my flight back was worse. There was a bunch (hell no, a whole lotta them) aunties and uncles on board and they must've mistaken the plane for an express boat. The stewardesses tried to explain to them that they need to sit according to the seat number assigned on their boarding pass and get their fat ass on their seats a.s.a.p... But nooooo, they want to exchange seats, etc. Aiyoh, do that once we're airborne lah! Or jump out the nearest exit for all I care. We only took off 30 minutes later thanks to these ridiculous people... It doesn't help that the flight attendants were rather snobby(?)... The ones on my flight to KL were waaaayyyyyy better than them and they were friendly and pleasant to the max.

Oh yeah, before I forgot, Sorry to my friends in KL for not meeting up. I seldom go online while I was there and my darling 'sopir' was busy working. In fact I became the travel companion/navigator/tukang buka drinks during the day. Visiting areas all around Selangor, it was tiring but enjoyable also. Squeezed in some sightseeing also during these trips. Hehe...

Some pics I took...Bukit Melawati

I forgot the name of this species of monkeys but they are the harmless ones (unlike those nasty ones back in UM). We circled Bukit Melawati 3 times (!) just to take this picture of a monkey and its baby. Look at the colour of the baby monkey. LOL! Reminds me of some ah beng hair colour job gone crazy... LOL!

Morib Beach. Had some kerang bakar, sotong bakar and otak2 here... Eewww... I found one otak2 with dried up fly eggs inside. Extra ingredients anyone?

Found horseshoe crabs hiding in the sands. We pulled them out (well actually my partner pulled them out, but I saw them first!) true to what people always say, it always come in pairs!

Sunset @ Morib...

Holiday Update

*Giggles*

Floating on Cloud 9... Nothing beats enjoying a holiday with a great company ;-)
and great food. Seriously we must stop watching AFC or Travel & Living channels... First it was satay, today teppanyaki. All because of food programmes on the telly. Muahahaha...

Haven't touched any exam papers yet. Must. Start. Now... Umm... Maybe later...

On a personal note, things are looking way much better now. Glad that things are working. Sheer willpower ensures happiness. Thanks to those who've been supporting me in my hour of darkest crisis (especially my dearest Grace and Sula, Katy and Deb. You've seen me at the worst point and you gave me support and encouragement. Love u girls!)

p/s: No pics. Forgot to bring my memory card reader.

Naik Bilun!!!
