Erections

During its initial growing phase, no doubt it was still very small in size. But then it has very precious commodities, which are youthness, unlimited energy as well as resources. And so, with the right amount of sensory inputs, adequate sunshines, good hydration, it grows….

Not to mention its size also grow considerably in length and diameter. At the same time, the reservoir inside is also developing seedlings in order to propagate the next offspring, new generation.  

When its young and small, due to the small mass, it is less affected by the power of gravity. And so, it grows up and up, forming an erection. However, as it reaches the stage of maturity, it has garnered enough weight and thickness, so much so that the stalk is not able to support the trunk anymore. And so, it starts to droop, as in everything that is affected by our earth’s gravity.

However, all is not lost. Because it is most delicious when it is fully matured. The flesh is tender yet firm, the colour is more appealing, and the aroma is simply heavenly!

I can’t wait to peel its skin and put in my mouth. Yummy yummy! So nutritious so fulfilling!

erected papayas in my garden

 mature papayas in my garden

Happy merdeka holiday people! Time to erect Malaysian flags

weekend hiatus

Just back to hometown yesterday. Though its early evening around 5pm+ the highway was already so choked with cars. Must be due to the national day holiday so everyone taking the weekend hiatus.

Later will go Medan Gopeng station to fetch HS. Today he still have training course so i have all day to myself again as usual. But nevermind, we're going for a short excursion to Penang tomorrow :) For me already been ages since the last time i went to the Pearl of the orient. Now still retaining its lustre or not, i wonder.

HS say he wanna eat Penang Laksa and Tambun seafood...Hmm...not exactly my liking. Yeah im the weird breed who don't like spicy food, certain fruits/vege and seafood. So if sum up together there would be quite a number of things that i always avoid eg. laksa, tomyam, prawn, crab, those lala, sotong, petai etc.....and list goes on and on. Im so picky hor?

What to do, i got seafood phobia since little. There was  one incident where grandma cooked crabs but maybe it was not cleaned properly or half-cook, i was down with severe diarrhoea and vomitting. Since then been having seafood phobia. Never touch a crab in my life since that day. Nowadays improve a bit since i can take a bit of prawns. (In my head i always think crabs and prawns are in-fact the same thing) LOL

Anyway, i look forward to the sight seeing and shopping :P    Anything worthy to buy in Penang?

what to eat what to eat??

Working in a rural place like this has its cons. And one of them is food. There is just so little choice. Everyday its like rotating between A B C D E A B C D E....until i oso dunno what to eat already...so fed up. If only i can cook....

Finally tapao this for dinner.

 

Braised pork with yam 芋頭扣肉

 

 Vege and rice

Not exactly economical at RM6.50. Pretty large serving though. I have to separate into 2 sessions-dinner and supper LOL.

Recruiting a cook to prepare my breakfast, lunch and dinner. Any applicants? wahaha

My Queen 敗犬女王

Drama description: "What will happen when Shan Wu Shuang, a 33 year old beautiful, hardworking yet single woman, meets Lucas, a 25 year old romantic and handsome regular worker? There is an 8 year age difference – what kind of story would then be created? A story that will let us laugh and let us cry. I’m not defeated! I’m the Queen!"

Lately i been occupied with this taiwanese drama series. Enjoy every bits of it though i haven't finished it yet. Few more episodes to go. Nice storyline with good looking casts=great show

The 2 main casts:

單無雙–楊謹華飾

女，32歲又6個月
iFound雜誌社的編輯女王，是雜誌社裡其中一個團隊的Leader，中階主管。

工作認真、能力強、負責、堅持、效率驚人，工作時就像鐵金剛，但是身邊的下屬常因為她感到強大的壓力。

她常常跑出男同事都不見得跑得到的第一手內幕新聞，是老闆的最愛，卻是男女同事間茶餘飯後既羨慕又私下消遣的對象，眾人都認為她工作像男人、收入像男人、能力像男人！

所以，大家私底下喜歡戲稱她是「穿著裙子的男人」。

無雙在職場上工作了十幾年，自己租了一層單身公寓，看似精明能幹的她，卻是個生活白痴！不會換燈泡、水龍頭壞了不會修、不會看特價品、不收集點數換贈品……，反正所有的一切可以用錢解決，我女王又不是不會工作賺錢！！
但是太專注在工作的結果，讓她根本沒時間好好為自己生活，每天累的要死，連戀愛都懶的談！

直到今年，她只剩幾個月即將邁入三十三歲，忽然回頭一看，才發現自己已經蹉跎了這麼久，週遭比自己差勁的同事身邊都有了依靠，而她自己，依然是孤孤單單一個人….

她才開始恍然發現，她已然成了人生的一隻敗犬？…。

盧卡斯–阮經天飾

男，25歲
打工達人
放蕩不羈，性感奔放，直接不修飾，「無樂不做」是他的生活準則。
盧卡斯擁有自由的工作，每天生活的行程表也從不固定，活得隨興所至。卡斯就像一陣風一樣，刮到哪裡哪裡就起漩，經常把大家兜得團團轉，他卻置身事外。但在他看似吊而啷噹的表象之下，卻有個難以釋懷的過去。
因意外失去女友後，卡斯開始遊戲人間！反正他不會再遇到真愛，對女人也不需要設限。沒有固定女友的他，很會逢場作戲。
學習能力超快的他，很容易進入狀況，可是他從來不久留在一個工作環境直到產生感情。也許是因為不斷地更換工作，表面的乍看之下看不到他的穩定性，但其實他能把上百種不同的工作都處理妥當，也因為他的多方面磨練跟經驗，年輕的他，卻有著眾人意想不到的應變能力跟幹練思維。
因此，卡斯成了萬能的打工達人，但他不是萬事都OK，feel不對就不接了！



The drama was also graced with many of Fish Leong musics, which are really soothing and nice! Opening and ending soundtracks with the MV:







Hope she continue to sing after married!

Quote of the day: "世界上最遙遠的距離不是生與死
而是我就站在你面前　你卻不知道我愛你"

Dead or Alive

nope, im not talking about the computer game DOA.

Yesterday there was an odd case here. A middle-age Malay guy drove to the casualty unit and requested for help to identify a relative of his whether its expired or not (dead or not dead). So i have no choice but to follow his car with one of my staff.

He brought us to a remote Malay village not too far away. Not long after we reached our destination. An old wooden single storey house. Outside the house there were a whole bunch of villagers gathering around for the ?death gathering?.

As i step out of the car and hush into the house to settle the case, the villagers were fixing their eyes on me. My face was turning red already. Why? Of cos not because im handsome lar.

U see...yesterday was weekend ma. I was wear casual only. and my casual is just a t-shirt with a pair of shorts. I was like "holy S**T!" Not to mention there was another bunch of old ladies gathering in the hall. And it was the first day of Ramadan too. Haiz...i hope the ladies didnt skip a beat while looking at my sexy hairy legs LOL. Well luckily no body fainted. But i do hear some voices here and there, presumably talking about my sexy legs LOL

So out of embarassment i just dashed into the house and quickly settle the case. When we entered the house, there was a body belonging to an old lady lying on the bed. She was already covered from head to toe with a piece of white cloth, probably preparing for funeral or some rituals. Haiz...i was thinking...what for they still need people to check whether the person is dead since they already literally "bungkus" her? so funny.

Fortunately my Malay staff is there to sort of "alleviate" my embarassment. What a day!

p.s. some guys can wear shorts so sexily! i wish i could pull it off too :P

Ice cream sandwich

Ice cream sandwiches are frozen desserts composed of a layer of ice cream of any variety "sandwiched" between two cookies or slices of cake. My version though is sandwiched with two slices of bread. But looong time didn't eat this already. Used to eat this as snack while watching my favourite shows. Ahh...how i miss it!

歡迎醫生兼職？

今天終於看到了一篇一針見血，說明了政府醫生心聲的稿件！
(excerpt from sinchew-i)

“評論：陳寶卿‧歡迎醫生兼職？

A(H1N1)型流感
2009-08-18 19:34
衛生部長廖中萊宣佈流感進入危急狀態，順道宣稱政府醫院的醫務人員，無論是醫生、牙醫、藥劑師和護士，都出現人手短缺問題。

兩件事，都是壞消息。

A型流感連日奪去六十多條性命，在最需要醫務人員對抗流感的時刻，竟說醫生不夠。

人們常說，屋漏偏逢連夜雨，我們目前面對的就是這種窘境；只是，這屋破漏已久，除非全拆重建，否則擋不了風雨。

目前醫生和病人的比率是1對1145人，可見政府醫院的醫生不好當，長時間候診的病人也很辛苦。

政府醫院的病人經常爆滿，不全然是政府醫院療效好，而是私人醫院或診所收費昂貴，非一般人所能負擔，低收入的民眾有病痛，只好到收費相對低廉的政府醫院看診。

A型流感來襲，政府醫院更是人滿為患，原本就三頭六臂的醫生，大概恨不得化為千手觀音，為眾生解除痛苦。

醫生短缺並非一朝一夕的問題，本地大學每年培訓2000到2500名醫學系學生，即使全部醫生都到政府醫院服務，也不足以填補空缺。何況，有不少醫生自設私人診所，還有不少醫生是被新加坡醫院“搶”去了。

新加坡醫院確是年輕醫生的另一條出路，這個時代講競爭力，好的工作環境，優良的待遇，自然能吸引好的人才投身效力。

我們的醫生看診時間長，待遇一般，還要被衛生部總監依斯邁嗆聲：“如果醫護人員不能挨苦長時間工作，就請辭職”。

結果，本國畢業的醫學人才被人搶走了，國外畢業的醫學優秀生，寧可留在外國不回來了。

政府只好從印度、孟加拉和巴基斯坦請來一些醫生，他們雖然無法和中下層病人溝通，但能吃苦。

A型流感侵襲，政府醫院醫生短缺的問題更迫切、更惡化；之前動不動叫醫生“走路”的總監依斯邁，只好敲鑼打鼓，向私人醫院與診所的醫生招手，希望吸引2萬5000名醫生到來兼差。

我們不知道，招攬醫生兼職，是權宜之計還是長遠計劃？我們只知道，政府醫院的管理體制必須徹底改革，醫生嚴重短缺，等於讓病人自生自滅。

謝謝你陳先生！雖然我不認為我們敗壞的政府會作些甚麼，但至少我們知道原來這世上還有一些人懂得我們的心聲！

Camwhoring

Like it or not, camwhoring is becoming phenomenal. Don't believe it? Read on. Reason being all living being has some vanity DNA inscribed in our cells. According to Wikipedia:

A cam whore (sometimes cam-whore or cam-slut) is an individual who performs sexual services on the Internet with webcam software in exchange for money or goods, usually by a fixed per minute fee or by encouraging viewers to purchase items on their wish lists or add to their online accounts. While the label is usually considered derogatory and insulting, it is also used by these people to describe themselves, occasionally in a self-deprecating manner.

The term "cam whore" is also used to refer to individuals who post pictures or videos of themselves on the Internet to gain attention. The term disparages those who post pictures of themselves at inappropriate times or places, and usually implies self-absorption. This second usage of the term, deriding vanity and histrionics, is overtaking the prior, more intuitive definition. It is usually synonymous with attention whore.

Granted that i dont have 10GB of self-portraits in my portable drive, i dont take spontaneous pics whenever i go to the toilet, and i dont stare blankly into my webcam every single day, but i do take a pic or two, once a blue moon when boredom sets in.

Well, u see,

Girls camwhore...

so do guys

not to mention celebrities

as do gays

?sissies...

children ....(oh so cute!) and even...

animals do camwhoring!


So what's wrong with me joining the fun?

yes i know the pic is blurry. But im not a lengchai ok? Have to conceal here and there a bit lah =P

Where's yours?

Don't text and drive

If only our Bolehland can produce such good public service video..Here is a video from a Police department from Wales.





The video where the heads were rocking back and forth, left and right, all the while the music was playing, was cool though. Wonder how they film that :P

But seriously, don't drink and drive. Don't text and drive.

The power of adaptation

see for yourself the amazing ability living beings possess...



the scene where she peels the potato and slicing the noodles had me broke out in sweat. What say u?

This time a little doggie called Faith...



Amazing arent they? If only im this flexible :)

喜欢和爱的区別

come across an interesting article this morning while surfing.

喜欢和爱的区別

喜欢是在深夜看书时突然想起他，想像他现在做甚么，心里漾起一阵温暖，却不主动给他打电话。几分钟后，注意力又重新被书中情节吸引。

爱是在寂寞夜里，思念如潮水般涌来，手里捧著书却怎么也看不进去，心里惦记著他此时是否还在加班，有没有吃晚饭，是不是如自己想著他一般想著自己。

喜欢是和他討论问题爭的面红耳赤，在他面前像刺蝟一样从不认输，但心里早已暗暗佩服他的见地和才华。

爱是希望他和自己步调一致，心灵相通，他无心说的一句玩笑话也能让自己顷刻情绪低落甚至眼泪汪汪。在他面前从不设防。

喜欢是出门在外给他发短信，告诉他这边的天气很好，然后把手机关掉，独自在异地疯玩一周，晒成一个黑人后突然出现在他面前嚇他一跳。

爱是无论到哪都希望有他陪伴。可以站在海边给他打手机，让他听听海浪声；也可以因为在异乡街道上看到一个酷似他的背影而愣在原地久久不动。

喜欢是他出差前简单的道声“一路平安”，看著他离去的背影，心中不捨却甚么也不说，只是默默等待他归来。

爱是他临出差前千叮嚀万嘱咐，往他的背包塞满衣服和食物，在车站要等到火车开走才肯离开。並且在他走后的日子里天天心神不定，一遍遍的祈祷他能够平安归来。

喜欢是在受伤时，不想让他看到自己脆弱的一面，在他面前把眼泪悄悄抹掉，转过头依然是快乐坚强的模样。

爱是在受委屈时，在他胸前痛哭，没偽装没顾虑，把烦恼统统告诉他，並渴望从他怀中得到安慰。

IMHO, as much as its illustrated the differences between like and love here, i would like to think love as something like analogue rather than digital. There is no clear measurement nor boundary. Where is the border than really separates LIKE and LOVE? Its more like a spectrum of rainbow. What do u think?

Brainless people are holding positions they shouldn't have the damned right to be!

Something happened today at my workplace which really infuriated me. There was a patient, a young malay girl, who came with her school teacher to see me today. The following conversation takes place subsequently:

"Yes, can i help u ?"

The teacher then starts talking.

"Good afternoon. This is my student here. U see, she is going for a camp tomorrow somewhere in Thailand tomorrow (i forgot the exact place). So in order to do so, she needs a letter/cert to confirm that she is healthy from the clinics."

"Is the school authority in their sound mind to send off their students to Thailand at this point in time for something so menial?" I asked. Obviously already started fuming.

"Well, its the decision of the JPN (Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri). So we just have to follow the instructions" the teacher said to me while handling me the circular related to the camp.

I looked through the circulars and it seems there is supposed to be some sort of declaration form for the student to fill up to say that they are healthy or something. I was already busy with the increasing patients coming with flu symptoms that doesnt really need to come in the first place. But i can't blame them entirely because everyone seems so panic about the whole H1N1 situation, which is totally uncalled for. And now, im supposed to write letters for these obviously healthier than u-and-me students to declare that they are safe to travel??

"Do u think i have microscopic eyes that can see through your student whether she has got H1N1 or not?" I asked the teacher. "obviously no right? Then why the heck the school still wants the student to be declared healthy by docs before going somewhere?"

The teacher replied:"Well its the instruction from JPN. We just have to follow"

Im really fuming at that point. Really wanted to ask her "If the JPN ask u to eat shit, would u eat shit?". F**k. For the sake of decency i hold off my temper.

My questions are:
-Why would the relevant ministry defy common sense and so happy to send off these young students to a H1N1 hotspot? Its literally sending them to die. And that is totally immoral and unacceptable!

-Why are health practitioners required to declare that these student are healthy before they venture outside? Do we have bionic eyes? microscopic eyes to see if your students is infected with H1N1? If so, what for u need thermal scanners and throat swab??

-There is never a circular from the Health Ministry that says students need to be declared safe and non-biohazard by medical practitioners before going somewhere. Why does the other ministry makes rules of their own?? U think the docs are shaking legs in their clinic with nothing better to do izzit?? Do u know that due to unnecessary panics among the general population, people seeking for cough and cold have double or even triple in the gov clinics and hospitals? The emergency departments are on the verge of total meltdown, do u know that?

To the BRAINLESS people who are holding ministrial positions that they DO NOT deserve, please wake up from your slumberland, get up from your plush sofas, open your eyes to the realities of today's world! Stop counting your dirty money u get from your bribes and have mercy on the innocent general population that u are about to send off to death zone!! and ....

Get your head off your asses!

I bet if your children is in the camping trip, u would not have organized this trip to hell!

WTH. I don't care anymore. Or couldn't care anymore. These students are big enough to make their own decision. It their life, so to say...

Prison Break to Taiping

This weekend im stuck in this ulu place again due to on call. Nevertheless, i managed to "prison break" to Taiping for the morning with 2 local friends of mine hohoho...I was driving above the speed limit cos i don't wanna spend too much time in Taiping just in case i get called for work. HAIZ.... We straight head to a place called Pokok Assam to have our breakfast there. There is eatery hall just beside the pasar there. A lot of elderly people were buying vege and having breakfast there. My frens had wanton mee while i had economy mihun. .

My fren "dapao" a pack of glutinous rice for us (pic above). Its different from what i usually had before cos it is topped with slices of BBQ pork "肉乾“ and "肉絲“ and some nuts. Its something new to me. The taste is ok. Not to say its fantastic or what. Just different.

This is the morning market that sells the usual vegetables, food, cd, clothes and etc. A guy behind me was asking my fren in Hokkien whether im a enforcement officer LOL. They were afraid that i was taking pics of them trading illegal cds, dvds and stuff haha. Hey comeon, im just using my ancient cameraphone leh...

After fishing some music cds and some more food, we went for lunch in the city center. Had chicken rice but not very nice IMHO. Cant remember the shop name. Just too salty and too fat for me. The char siew (pic above) was nice though. Its fried with sesame seeds so its more fragrant than the usual char siew we had. And there is no colouring added, which is good.

This is the "Perpustakaan Bergerak" parked by the road side or mobile library. Its not open for business so no chance to go in. Wonder what they have in store? Harry Potter? Playboy? Galaxie? hmm...highly unlikely i guess LOL.

This weekend there is PC fair in the Taiping Municipal Hall. Its smaller scale than i thought. It opens at 11am and its already jam packed with people! Just browsing through the laptops and netbooks on display. Notice that the netbooks doesn't seem a good deal because their specs is lower than the average laptop and doesn't have DVD drive. Well...u never know when u might need one, u see. I still think its better deal to get a proper laptop, especially now that we have ultralight portables that consume low voltage.

Something weird happen at a stall while i was swimming in the sea of human.. A pretty salesgirl approached me and surprisingly the first sentence she uttered wasn't anything related to promoting her laptops. It goes like this:

Girl: Hi! You're here again!

Me: ???? Again?

Girl: Yeah! (showing her million dollar smile). You were here yesterday right?

Me: (even more confuse) Nope...i don't think so....

Girl: But...i really saw u here yesterday!

Me: (was thinking is the girl ok?....the PC fair just started today only wor...) Nope...i just come today...

GIrl: Oh izzit..? But....but....you guys really look alike! OMG!

Me: (OMG! Are u hallucinating?) Oh i see. U must have mistaken me for someone else...

The girl was still insisting that the guy she saw yesterday was me! Well...whatever...then she dragged me to a stall table and proceed to introduce her lappies to me lor...Hmm....i was thinking isn't this a bit too hardsell? Or she is just really hallucinating? I have no idea.

Nevertheless she seems kind enough to ask what im looking for, my budgets, preferences, types, position....she was explaining in detail her stuffs and ask me to avoid Acer laptops because they use cheap materials etc. I tend to agree with her i have a bad impression of the brand too LOL.

Well...nothing happen eventually. I just bought a mouse and thats it. Im really looking for a lappy but better to go back hometown to buy i guess, in case anything happens. Anyway, the PC fair will shift to Ipoh in 2 weeks time. And most likely i will see her again that time LOL. If she were in those cosplay kawaii costumes then probably i would consider this time...something along the line like this...LOLz

Thats all for my saturday yesterday. Come back exhausted and zzz....^^
