VSS

It’s 30th November and 4 more days, it will be my 11th year anniversary of working in this company. Today is Tuesday and it’s the 1st working day for this week since yesterday it was a public holiday. I feel want to take another day leave since I apply for the VSS and I really couldn’t wait for the final result. The morning meeting was as boring as usual, unlike the previous boss, Mr SHLee, he’s from the equipment background and he also knows about the process quite well and none can bluff him and with his killing questions, engineers are aware of the daily issue and they know their priority at least for that morning. Engineers talk and share their opinion. But different from the current situation where engineers were either blank or do not know anything or they rather keep thing among themselves. Different bosses, different style , yes it is…
Since I was in Etch module, the module manager comes and goes. Our 1st module manager was Dr Seb of Korea, CYang of Taiwan, DG Y of Korea, MY Kang Of Korea, SFLee of Malaysia and the current MM is HS You of Korea. Wow, I can say the ration is high since I was in Etch for about 9 years and my MM are 6 of them, so it’s 6:9 and tell me who got the problem? Is It me or the top management?
Group meeting was also boring. VSS kept people wonders and the mood was not at work place but instead else where. After the morning meeting, when for my normal breakfast, not knowing that would be my last breakfast in the company. I forgot what I had that morning but the VSS news was getting hotter. After breakfast I quickly go to my place and resume my work. My 1st task on that day was the week 47 wafers scrap report. Out of a sudden I was touched from behind and it was MR Y and he called me into the office and it all started after that.
So here I am, the VSS holder from x-fab, resign voluntarily so that the company may survive, until when, I don’t know. I am one of the martyrs and besides me is Mathew Sawing, Angela Deborah, Angelina Thomas, Rhuzlina Ejan and the list continues. I think in that eleven years working there, I said it’s enough for now. Let me discover some other different things to do, away from the semiconductor. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank ex Employee X-Fab for giving me the chance to work in your company for about 11 years. I experienced so many things and it turns me to become a professional. Last but not least if Fab 2 and 3 open, I’d like to rejoin you again. Gutten Tug!

Cool Saturday Morning..

Today i woke up early, not that i want but due to the mean sore throat which i had since last week. This week i was given a 2 days sick leave due to high fever and ya.. feeling not good here and there. But the leaves is nothing due to my sleeps were disturbed by the heavy dry cough.
Last week was another history in the making. Its another new and challenging stepping stone which we made together for the benefits of everyone. No, it's not having a baby or children, but it;s more than that. Kate was really an icon to us. We want to build something near to her grave. Just in the matter of time.
Oprah finally reached her final 25 years season and i watched the last final 3 show without fail. As usual tears would automatically drops when you are so happy for someone or something. Few lines which I'd never forget when a question came to her sounds like this>>

Q: Oprah, what makes your show so successful?
Oprah: It's my team, I and Jesus!

Immediately i grab my blackberry and send her a short message:

"Dear Oprah, I'm david from kuching sarawak, Malaysia. The show reall touched my heart and I learn how to appreciate myself everyday. God bless"

Last night is the 2part of the Walking Dead, the most remarkable drama i ever seen. It's all about Zombies and how you plan to live in the this broken world. To those who live, they must keep themselves alive and fit. We understood that during that period, everyone wants to be a leader and superior. How to manage this? Hope Oprah will have the topic on this soon....

The night was so long. The cough became worse and worst. Pity my wife who had to deal with it. It's unfair though. But she's a tough lady I know that! Everytime i woke up at night, my sleeps were disturb by the itchy throat and this morning i feel so tired. I have no plan today, to sleep perhaps. As usual i check my blackberry for Facebook and sms from last night. Hmmm an email.. let me read it to you...

"Got your email.
Thank you for watching the finale.
I could feel your beating hearts, along with mine, through the TV screen.
I'm off to take a little rest, and then I'll get busy working on OWN.

Take care of yourself.

I'll write soon,
Oprah "

A birthday, a reunion and a funeral

Last Saturday my wife and I attended Melcome’s daughter, Penelope Cloe’s 5th years old birthday. It was my first visit to Melcome an Alexia’s house since they’d moved back to Kuching from Penang. Melcome’s house’s is located around Stapok area and believe me, it’s like going around a round about without finding the way out of it. We we’re lost! Thank God we have cellphone nowadays otherwise we would have to search for a public phone and it will delay the party. Thru phone, Mel directed me until I found his big residency. Then its Simon and Lennisia’s turn then John’s. At that time, Aidan and Judy, Aaron and Regina were already arrived. I saw lots of children inside the house and Melcome’s mom was there too. David, Zamery and Alan arrived seconds later. Wah… this is not only a Birthday party but it is also our reunion from USM batched 1999-2000 I reckoned. Too bad Henry and yuhanna and Jusijo were not around. Otherwise it will complete the empty seats. J That evening, apart from the birthday party, I had time chatting with my long lost friends. I think it has been more than 10 years I have not meet John and David Andrew. They are doing so well I life and also in every factors. I can say each one of us already contribute to the society and though some of us have no children YET, it doesn’t mean that our live is boring, but we look it at different way and perspective. Some of us even don’t want children and some of us are not ready to become parents. So time factor is important here. The Friday night ended well around 11PM. everyone were so happy and of course exchanging numbers thru cellphones so that we can see the pictures taken thru phones. Facebook is not a strange word tho. Everyone has it.

----- Sunday Afternoon ---

I saw blood everywhere when I open the fron gate. Gosh what happened here? I immediately walked to the patio where I saw Kate was lying helplessly, the eyes have no response to the rays if light but I believe she still could here me talking to her. Kate’s tounge was half damaged due to her own action. Yes, she was spiritually and mentally dead but physically still alive. She doesn’t feel what ever she did to herself including bitting her own tounge until it bleeded so badly. Kate was no longer herself starting that afternoon. I saw my wife was struggling in everyway to help her. I myself was so allergic to see a massive ammount of blood wanted to faint at first, but I pray for strength to support my wife. I called my brother and with difficulties talking and crying, I murmered slowly to him; Word by word; “just put Kate to sleep because she’s in pain. “ That was the hardest decision I ever made in my whole life but that was the best for Kate. The vet came half and our later and he carried the serum to put Kate to sleep forever.

When the Vet arrived, my feelings became mixture. Should we just let Kate go or should we give her another chance… I whisper to my wife by looking at Kate’s condition, ther’s no way for for Kate to live without a propper tounge because she needs tounge during eating and drinking. Surprisingly my wife was with me. WE agreed to let her go though it was very difficult to us both. But we have no choice realy no choice… The Vet turns Kate facing the heart and inject her heart with the killing jap and within seconds, Kate did not move at all. The vet declared Kate died around 4.00pm local time.

The weather started to be gloomy and windy. My wife started to dig a hole just near to the place where Kate was born. I started to do the cleaning and burn the newspaper which was full with Kate’s blood. We were alone at that time. Even Dresden and Brussles didn’t bark as usual yet they were as quiet as the mouse. After everything was settled, the rain poured down like cats and dogs. The thunder strikes everywhere. We took the opportunty to rest and I fall a sleep.

Time flies so fast. IT was already 7pm. I sat at the dining table while my wife made a cup of coffee. The rain outside was subsiding but the condition inside the house was tensed. My eyes were red and wattery and out of a sudden, my wife came to me and hugged me so tight. We burst into tears. I was so released and I let everything drained out of me. Same went to my wife. We do really missed kate but God loves her more. We will missed her company during bed time, we will missed her tantrums during meal time and we will not see her waiting for us when we come back from work. She’s clever, intelligent, smart, palyful, adorable and she’s my third dog that I have besides Dresden and Brussels. We named her Kate, borned on the 8th or May 2011, name taken from Princess Catherine married to Prince William somewhere in April this year..

Rest in Peace Kate

8th May 2011 – 2nd October 2011

The GIANT- NEW HYPERMART

Hari Raya holidays is until this Sunday and for me, I really enjoyed this festives season so much! I took the chance to move around. Currenlty I’m watching Yuna singing in ASTRO, tribute to P.Ramlee. She sang quite well and I know this song is very difficult to sing by everyone but believe me, she hit every notes correctly! Vince, Aizat and Jack Victor were fabulous.
I went to Giants which was only 3 days old at that time and as usual, sea of people was expected. I have no intention to buy anything since I don’t need anything at the moment so it was a window shoping with mom and Ezra. So I decided not only to sight seeing, but to wathc gthe gastures, attitude and the gimmicks people of Kuching!
First shop I went to is the LEA SHOE STORE. I was glad that immediately I was being entertained by the shop assistant. But not up to 2 minutes I was being escorted, a lady bitch abruplty pulled her away from me while I was talking with her. I could not believe it! Can’s she called other people to help her instead? Not to cause any chaos, I rushly went out and try to cool down. Thank God that I’m in control of the situation! To that lady bitch, just stay being bitch because the world is boring without your kind!
Then I walked away and still on my mission which is to sight seeing things and peoples. So I saw the OGAWA massage chair promotion… Hmm, not bad got promotion somemore. So the shop assistant was really trying hard to get me on the chair for trial, but at the same time, his handphone kept on ringing which disturb my mood and my interest to the massage chair. In a glimpse I was no where to be seen. Today he lost a potential customer. If he does that everytime, he will be running out of business. So, my advice to that shop assistant, one potential customer is better than no buyer at all because the potential customer might become the buyer one fine day if you treat him well!
Gosh, I had enough… there are many kind of people here and there. Most of the time it’s good to be polite and show our high civic minded especially when mixing with people with different gender, races and age. Respect others if you want people to do like wise and by doing this, everyone is happy to live in Kuching… Just my 2 cents.

Happy 35th Birthday Abet!

Good morning and Wish me Happy Birthday WORLD…

I woke quite early today, thanks to Kate who never fails to knock my bedroom's door... I think i had the best sleep lst night due to i owned and conquer the whole edges of the bed since wife was away.. After feeding the dogs with the dog's food.

But to my surprised morning was disturbbed by some unwanted conversation with some equipment engineer who, never say thank you even after we help them doing something extra… by raising your voice doesn’t mean you know everything! It really showed how shallow your mind is and how stink your breath was to me!!

Shoo.. go away.. I don’t have time to entertain clown like you!

Around 10am, I went out to Kuching town, trying to release my stress, but it turn out to be the other way due to the trafic jam, bad jam in Kuching… I arrived back at the company around 11.30am, but at least I feel relief a little bit…

Happy Birthday to me and let me calculate, 2011-1976 = 35 years old. Let me google some quote for a men of 35..

Very few people do anything creative after the age of thirty-five. The reason is that very few people do anything creative before the age of thrity-five.
- Joel Hildebrand

Hmmm, something to ponder upon… Here’s my favourite..

It takes a long time to become young.
- Pablo Picasso

I agree kind of agree with Picasso. When I was young and naughty ( but still a good boy), time really stood still. It seems like ages for day turn into night… hehehhee…
_________________________ yawn – lunch__________________________

Phew… my handphone keep on receiving Birthday wishes every minutes since last night, either from Face book or sms. Infact I get a free sms-ing from Celcom due to my birthday today. Around 3 pm, there were 2 unexpected person came to me. The first one was our company CEO, yes the top guy in this very company. He came to me while I was reading malaysia kini doing my work on the computer.

CEO: Happy birthday Davidson!
I turned my head and try to be calm due to no 1 VIP is infront of me.
Birthday Boy: Thank you sir. ( try to be calm and awake)
CEO: So.. it is 25? 30 y ears old?
BB: No its 16 sir..( huhuhu, I laugh at myself)
CEO: LOL and wal away…

This made my collegues turn to me and told me how lucky I was to have such a conversation with the top guy of the company…. Ya, after a bad morning, I answered them…
Few minutes later another unknown person came to me and shook my hand. I thought he wanted to wish birthday to me so I smile and before I knew it….
Unknown: Davidson, thank you very much!
BB: You are welcome, so.. (I was thinking how he knows my name)
Unknown: My last day today, I’m going to Singapore..
BB: Oh, is It.. (Opss..) All the best to you!
Unknown: Thank you!

Then my Black berry rings…. Oh it was my sister… so we chat …. Wah.. this year my birthday is so different compare to the other years.. or maybe I never realised my birthday was previously always different and unique. That’s the problem if one takes thing for granted… you’ll missed the most remarkable days in your life… But not for this year. I treasure every moment that I have until I jadi pelupa la… hmmm one more hour to go back.

My dear wife is still in kampung. I missed her since yesterday. I’m not what happens tonight… whether is there any candle blowing or not… hmm, seriously, it’s just like whether tomorrow is Hari Raya or not… same case…. Heheheheh…

The Malays too are unhappy over what is happening. What an Embarrassment

By Capt.Iskandar Dzulkarnain

Tun Dr Mahathir was Prime Minister of Malaysia for 22 years. All of us lived under his leadership during his tenure, and many of us have come to admire him and regard him with our deepest respect, for what he had done for the country.

His Vision 2020, the Look East Policy, the Multimedia Super Corridor, the Internet and his efforts to industrialize the country has brought countless prosperity to our nation.

Lately, we see a sudden about turn to his speeches and rhetorics. Many who listened with interest to his sermons, are alarmed at the vast distortion of everything he has tried to impress upon us in the past. He is beginning to sound incoherent, with a tinge of cynicism. The great empire he built in the last 22 years is slowly unravelling, crumbling, torn asunder by the words that spew forth from his mouth. Everyone, who knows him in the past, is becoming disappointed in what he holds dear to.

At his age, we expect the Grand Old Vizier with wide political experience to advise us, and tell us where we went wrong, and to correct us. To warn us of the pitfalls of racism, corruption and to protect this country from tearing itself apart. Lately, many of his speeches have been met with disgust as he keeps on levelling criticism on the different races. Even Singapore was not spared.

His latest speech that Malaysia belongs to the Malays, that Malays think 1Malaysia is about abolishing vernacular schools, and that Chinese and Indians think that 1Malaysia means abolishing Malay Rights, is really hurtful and hard to swallow.

Today, he is championing Malay Rights. He is angry that Non-Malays are questioning these rights. He is also angry that Malays themselves are questioning these so-called Rights. he wants the other races to acknowledge that the Dominant Malays are the rightful heirs to this country called Malaysia. It is an embarrassment to the Malays. What special rights is he talking about? If the Malays have benefited from it, why have the Malays not advanced any further?

All these years, the Special Rights has only led the Malays to acknowledge that it is only a big pie in the sky.
If the Malays has Special Rights, why are the Malays still lagging behind? Did anybody actually accorded the Malays these Rights in the past? Did the Malays reject these Rights, so much so that they are now living in utter poverty?

Can someone start going around and bestow this Rights upon the Malays right now?

As far as we know, we never had any Rights!!! Only the Chinese and Indians think we have Special Rights.
They can do and go where they want. Can a Malay drink where he wants? Can a Malay eat what and where he wants? Can a Malay believe in whatever God he wants, like the Chinese and Indians?
No, he can't. He has no rights!

To have rights means to have freedom to do what you want. It seems that the Chinese and Indians and the other races seem to have more rights than us Malays.

Most Malays don't give two hoots about Tanah Melayu, Ketuanan Melayu or Special Rights, because it does not exist. We just want a decent life, job, a brighter, predictable future and the Right to practice our religion free of oppression. We are a loosely knitted race that comprises mixed Javanese, Sumatran, Indian, Hunanese, Thai, and Middle East blood bound together by our religion Islam. And yet in the INTERLOK novel we branded other communities as Pariahs.

Why, why, why???

Being good Muslims, why must we insult other races???


And if there is a Special Right, I think I would want to have the Right to mingle freely with our Chinese and Indian friends, step into a church and listen with interest to their choirs singing Christmas Carols, drop by a Chinese temple, and observe the monks chanting their mantras, or to an Indian Temple to see how they worship. And to drop by the Pub, for a glass of cold Coke, without feeling a little peculiar.

I want the right to tell all our fellow citizens that we do not harbour any ill will against them, that we are just like them and that we will always stand by them.

22 years in power, and yet so many of us Malays still live in misery. We are not asking for utter riches, just a decent life, but many Malays still live in utter misery, except the Super rich UMNOPutras. And in the last election, many disappointed Malays were abandoning BN in droves.

Lastly, keep this in mind, 99 percent of Malaysians are not racist. We are too busy living our lives than to check on our neighbours. It is the one percent who are UMNOputras desperately clinging on to power, and who will do anything at any cost, even selling their souls to the devil, that is causing all this ruckus about Racism in this country.

Malays, in their right minds are not going to support this bunch of losers. That is why they say that the Malays are split between UMNO and PAS. And the blame was put on poor old Nik Aziz, who became the scapegoat for splitting the Malays.

Really BN and it's UMNOputras must go!

Gawai... Before and After

Pejam celik pejam celik, half of the year has passed by. Time runs so quickly when you are an adult compare to when you are still a kid. It was like only yesterday for everything. I don’t know how many of you ever encounter what I’ve experience. But I confirmed it was not a déjàvu nor a dream or visions. Just cancel this sentence cos ‘m too lazy to elaborate and explain. My body structure has change a lot lately. It is expanding to the front and all the muscles became fat. If the x men are searching for its mutant group, perhaps I want to be counted in and what is my special ability? Hmmm sensing food from a far and then eat the food… does this count to be an x men? Since I’m not a mutant, maybe they will kill me on the spot and eat me semi alive, hhuhhuu…
I think I should start from the Gawai day event. 2 weeks before Gawai, Doli, Andy and mom went to kampong to do some research on my ancestor and to capture some images of the ground zero, our long house location. It was a hard activity due to limited resources and not one of Toda’s family can speak and communicate in Bidayuh and this include me. But wait… I can count in bidayuh and here’s some word that is very familiar to me; tebik, pu an, doj ku pu an, meting, man, mamuh, mboh, tekik, turoi, bagak, juk ke doh? Bayuh, Sebayuh, Skura, diki, any don mu?, kobos, boos, samak, sinduk, babai, dayung, dayak, mejeng, sok and I think Mr Sanuk will complete my list. Enough for that... I feel terrible though!! Need to practice more even If I have to talk to Kate. Talking about Kate, she’s getting bigger, naughtier and prettier. Sho loves to bite peoples with her sharp long toothed. I think I need to buy a bigger cage for those 3 to avoid all three from escaping frequently especially Bruxels who tend to get pregnant again.

1st day of Gawai, we visited kampong as usual But this time it was extra ordinary because my brother Igat brought his fiancé together with us. It was really a difference experience for Mae I guess. As a Philippine it could be her 1st time to celebrate Gawai and to dance poco-poco. Not to have a heavy and full stomach, Nigel and I try to control our intake especially at the opening house and so on. Usually, base on the past years data; I’m always full when I reached the 3rd home and when I’m full, I tend to nag due to the unease feeling and before we reached the 4th house, we heading home… This would always spoilt my dad’s mood and to the others as well, including me lah. So this year, I think the method works. FYI the only food which I long for are the combination of lemang and curry or lemang and rendang or lemang and pansoh and drink would always be coca cola or zapple. That’s it! Not more not less! No beer please. Wine or Tuak - According to my mood. I will tapau the food or drinks if I like it soooo damn much! No hesitation to be shy!! You can call me whatever you want! So in total, we visited 7 houses and it was more that a 100% increase!!!

Our Gawai days cointinue with the celebration of Sanub’s generation Gawai Day gathering at Kuching Park hotel. It was our family turn to organize it online. I think we did well, with 13 tables all together and all relatives came except for Wellino’s famlily whom can be excused due to some reason. ( I feel like to eat bread and peanut butter now!!!)

To be continued….. Gawao mood mode still ON:

Brussels and Dresden and a little puppy

Brussels had delivered her 1st puppy last Sunday 8th May 2011, which was the same day as mother day. She became a mother to her little cute and ugly puppy which we have not name it yet. Now Brussels is relaxing at home, and her breathing rate also decreased unlike the day when she delivered, likely to faint or collapse due to unable to bear the paintful experinece.


At first her screamed marked that she was trapped under the bushes around my compund. We didn't have any idea that Brussels was pregnant. That morning we gave Dresden and her a long clean bath complete with nice shampoo. She was shivvering from head to toes unlike Dresden because he enjoyed his bath!


Can anyone of you suggest us name to our little 'pooky'? (

Missing Who..

Today is our 1st day to work after a long holidays. Oh how much I love holidays… I’m really looking forward towards retirement already… I think I’ll retired working at the Fab at 45 means I have 10 more years to go, and after than I want to catch up opening my own business or doing something I enjoyed most and at the same time I’m making money too… Early this morning I received a phone call from mom saying that there is a potential buyer from Bau who wants to buy goats. It’s news which I’m so keen to share with everyone. I’ve became a farm manager since august last year and it’s nearly a year already the farm is working without a proper maintenance and guidance. I think since then, I’ve seen 3 kids were born in my farm, but sadly 1 die after 3 days. I’ve lost 1 goat after 1 week it was transferred to my farm. It was a sudden death I reckon. Too bad couldn’t see the face reaction like what human being can do else we can detect the cause of death. Being ambitious is good but being practical is another thing. I think to success, ones must have both! I regret to say that I only have the ambition to do things but practically, I fail to put 100% of efforts to the farm. There were many times I surrendered to failure and it made me feel sick! It’s time to sell off some of the goats I guess since my income is very limited now.



This afternoon I feel so miserable. Suddenly I though of some people who had been in my life temporarily and now they are somewhere out there… I never like this kind of feelings because it hurts me internally. When I missed someone, I will dream of them, and yes, I did dream of several people recently and one of them was my little brother Fabian. So I grab my handphone and called him… hehehhee… So if you missed someone, go and call them immediately. Better late than never!



I finally found a game which may suits me, I repeat, MAY suit me. This was also Fabian’s idea. Let me try on that game first, If it’s stick to me, then I’ll go for it, maybe as a master.. hhehehheheh. Okl a got to stop here, I’ll keep on updating this blog as much as I can. FYI Osama ben Laden died 2 days ago, shot by the Americans

It has been a while

It has been a while;

I didn't update my blog
I didn't even open the website and read my friend's blog
I didn't try to put history into words
I didn't write my thoughts
I didn't share my stories

hahahaa... i'm not good in poetry actually... maybe in BM it's easier but not in English. This week we were given an extra day to rest. It was a fab shutdown. Again, i was the happiest person in the galaxy system.

Last Friday, i took a half day leave to witnessed the wedding of Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge and Catherine Middleton the Dutches of Cambridge. It was a history in the making just like the wedding of Princess Diana and Charles more than a decade ago. How i love weddings. I had mine on the 30th May 2009, about 2 years back but i think my wedding ceremony was so fast until I didn't even have time enjoy the special moment with everybody. I didn't even notice who sat on my right, left, back and front table. I didn't even got the chance to go around the corner to greet every one and i didn't even have the chance to say good bye to the guests. Hmmm, well, i did enjoy the dance, the foods and the picture taking with my lovely wife. I just want to wish the couple a happy wedding and may it lasts forever. Prove that your marriage works until Prince William becomes a King William and Kate becomes Queen Catherine. Let there be a inner spiritual healing in the England Royal Monarchy and let them invite Christ Jesus in the Royal Throne because they are nothing without the King of kings!

Last Sunday we went picnic at Bau. We also had BBQ there. We arrived around 11.00am and went back around 4pm. It was such a beautiful day and the water was perfect! Everyone enjoyed themselves especially me :) That evening, my wife and i went to the STAR to watch the THOR. Hey THOR is a good movie. Go and watch it and you won't regret!!

Last night we celebrated Dad's 64 years old birthday. I ordered the ice cream cake and everyone seems to like it. At first we wanted to have the Pandan Delight but it needed to be ordered one day in advance. So i asked what is in the other fridge? Oh, its the ice cream cake, the lady answered my question confidently. I with no hesitation immediately pay the cake and of ot Sri Ijah's. Everyone brought different foods and the table were fulls with sumptuous dishes and surrounded by food lovers... hehehee.. Let the picture speaks for itself!!. Dad was surrounded by his grandchildren try to blow the candles.



That night also my wife and Cherish for the 1st time practice the wedding song for Penelope and Kenny's wedding. It is a nice song, lovely lyrics and so sentimental. I'm going to have a full band, and they are all my nephews. Gigel the basses, Boy the drummer while Bujang will play the rhythm. The chord are toughs i can say, from B major,it goes to F# major then it goes to F major and finally back to B major... sweating oooo....

Today is Tuesday and my 1st sms was from my Kaban Simon. He won the wheel of Fortune contest twice and them both 2 bicycles and he can't wait to test the bicycles.I can't wait for this coming weekend. Maybe we will bring the bicycle to Matang and cycle at the highway there... I want to go out after this. No plan yet on where to go... Take my shower 1st!!


Thuis!

My memory lane with Pithui

I firstly saw her somewhere in July or August 1997 in my brother’s apartment house near to UPM Serdang. I think at that time, she was just 4 months old, very furry, active and responsive. Every move that I made was monitored by her sexy blue green eyes and she never fails to give back by coming towards you and play around with you. When my brother moved back to Kuching, she followed him home. Though it was a 6 months quarantine at the JKS, we managed to wait with a passionnate heart. Or... did I?? I never like the name but I have to live with it since I have no VETO power. Given the name Pithui I think deep inside her, by right if she can speak, she would be the most to ask for a name change, emmmm, name such as Julia, Cameron Diaz…or Siti would be nice!! 6 long months had passed and it’s time for Pithui to come back with us. I could not remember whether we did some welcoming party or not but I did remember to carry Pithui around the house for 7 times (Animal superstitious) so that she would not run away from home and she would accept our home to be hers too…Until now…. Pithui never ran away… Pithui grew up to be a beautiful cat. She’s a mix of Persians and local but the Persian is more dominant. She controls the house area, the house garden and the car park area and not forgetting the kitchen. But that would make us as her family feel more happy and blessed! Few months later, my brother decides to spay her for her own good. But that also means good bye to Pithui’s generations. After she was spayed, she was more like a diva!!! She looks more arrogant, more bitchy and full with character. She prefered to be alone, sometimes she rested at the feet of my parents’ and most of the time she would be inside the master bed room all by herself She likes it that way than to be with the whole bunch of my nephew and my niece. I love Christmas and Gawai but Pithui loved it more. She’s the target of every eye. She’s the star of the days… She’s more like a Queen Latifah!!! Pithui started to have dilemma when Bobo (missing), Lessie, Oligo (deceased), Orange and Oligo de 2nd came into the family as the new registered Toda’s family members. She became more demanding and started to be secretive. She eats when she needs to and she sleeps when she needs to. Her time became unpredictable and her behavior was just like a drama queen! But only Pithui knows what she’s dealing with because during this time, she became introvert. Hugging Pithui is like u hugs a bag of cotton! She’s fluffy, soft hug and kisses. Pithui allowed her self to be touched from top to bottom, anytime and anywhere! I still remember during hot season, I used to put her in the fridge for a few seconds so that she will feel cool. Her fur was so thick even a lice can be separated with its mother if they are in Pithui’s fur!!!! One thing about Pithui, she had a very small voice. I don’t think I ever hear her scream gentle and full with empathy. She made friends with every animal available in the universe. Be it wild cats, birds, rats, lizards, mouse, dogs, mosquitoes etc, she treated them as equal as possible. Now she’s just like Mother Theresa. If you read the life of Late Diva Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana, it was similar to what Pithui’s experienced. If I could turn back the time, where would I want to be? Yes, I want to be near to her when she was about to breath her last breath. I don’t want her to die alone. I want Pithui to know that for the passed 14 years, she was a great companion to our family. I want her to know that she was appreciated, welcomed and honored! And last but not least, I want to tell her that I never regret to call her Pithui Toda…

One sleepy lunch hour

I have a colleague whom just bought a car, A Mitsubishi Sport cost around RM166,00, and it’s a brand new luxury black mica MPV! I was so amaze to see how beautiful it is and at the same time it is huge too. So I was thinking how much is he paying for a month… So I ask my colleague sitting next to me. He is a pure China man with his own China slang. So I have talk slowly to him so that both won’t get confuse and since I have hearing problem, I must be careful of my own speech.

Me: Hi Xiaa. Do you have a car here?
Xiaa: Yes, I do. It’s quite new too.

I need to know quickly, so I ask him for the bank interest..

Me: How much is the bank interest?

Xiaa: What?

Me: How much is the bank interest?

Xiaa: Pardon me?

Me: How much does the bank charge you annualy? 5%? 4.5 % or 6% perhaps?

Xiaa: I don’t have to pay anything anymore.


Me: So how much you per month?

Xiaa: I told you that I don’t have to pay the bank anything anymore because I pay them full!

Me: - quietly turn away with my tounge tied.

*padan muka aku… you thought everyone have the same amount of utang kah??

Good Bye 2010, Welcome 2011

Ring the Bells, Ring the Bells,
Let the whole World Know,
Christ was borne In Bethlehem
Many years ago….

That was the Sunday school Christmas song which kept on repeating itself for 24 hours in my ears and my heads a day before Christmas regardless where I was! I took Christmas leave from 24th December 2010 until 3 rd January 2011. My wife and I had a fun Christmas though we were at different places due to work related. I was a bit disappointed actually because the we supposed to spent Christmas together this year in Belaga but due to incompetency added with miss-communications from the arrangement coordinator, I didn’t get my travelling tickets but she got it/ With a mixed feeling, I sent her to the airport that Christmas Friday morning 25 December 2010.

This year Christmas was a wet one. Raining from day to night, on and off but sometimes it was hot out of a sudden. We had a midnight Christmas Eve dinner with the closest family and our color theme for this Christmas is Red! Red? Why Red? Why not green I ask my brother since it’s quite weird, unless you are a Chinese, for us to wear something that hurts peoples eye is a No No. As if we are one troop of a lion dance group and all are ready for some TUM TUM TUM CHE! But as usual, the Big brother has spoken, red is a read, then, it’s not read blue, or red green ore yellow red... It’s is a red red! So my wife and I took a day off just to do some shopping hoping to get that RED shirt. I was thinking of going to India street at the 1st place but the weather again does not allowed. Hopoh and Saberkas car park was full at that time so we ended up back to tHe Spring. It is a tHe with small letter t and e and a big leter H.Heeehe...



CHRISTMAS DAY at SRI IJAH

As usual, the first visitor came around 10am to our house was Uncle’s Sebuang and family in 3 cars and followed by others and the last visitors that we had went off around 12:30 am on the next day. I was so physically tired but feel so happy at the same time to see some old faces which suddenly appear at your porch such as Harsten and her his Penangites wife and their child. Harsten is an old friend of mine whom after graduated got a job in Penang and married there. I’m so happy that he came and can share things with each other again. I hope that when he read this part, I really want him to come back and work in Kuching, buy a house here and continue with life till we age. My brother Igat also didn’t came back for Christmas this year due to his work load. He did called during the Christmas eve and telling us that he was doing good there.

I think we managed to go for visiting on the next day during lunch, after my brother finish talking to some friends and rearranged their ngabang to the next day. On the 2nd day, we managed to ngabang 4 houses starting from 12:00pm until 10:00pm. Gosh, I was so tired tahap dewa! I slept at Sri Ijah when during my wife was away from me.

On Tuesday 28 th December, it was a rainy morning, but still I told my wife that I want to go for a early morning walked after so many intake during the festivals. So I were my long pants and extra clothing to prevent myself from getting bitten by the mosquitoes. Only few meters I was away from home, I heard few foot steps behind me.. Surprisingly it was Dresden and Bruxels. They were both got so excited until they jump up the fence to follow me. Due to that I just cut short of my distance instead going to the main road, I just walked to and fro at our own lane. Eden and Bruxels follow me as if I need their escorts. Hehehe, I felt like Mr President at that time... True!!! The rain was getting heavier which discouraged me to continue my extra hours of walking. I was wet instead of sweating! I tired to bring the dog home but they were so reluctant. Feeling the morning breeze under the cold rain was much more preferable so I just left them playing around the neighborhood while I rushed back home and wet. That morning, I started to cough and my body temperature increased. Oh no, I go myself a fever I guess. One thing about me, I never like to see doctor even though I have free access to them and to the medication. I think I learnt my lesson here. My advice is to go now and see doctor when you feel uneasy or something is not. Even if you are wrong about your own diagnosis, at least you have done some checking.

Happy New Year 2011
I think 2010 was just another year which I have to go thru numerically since it is only a number of days the earth circulating around the sun and to be more calculative, it’s the way once remember his/her own age. I don’t know what to expect from now onwards. I want to be a loving husband to my wife, to my doggies, to my families and to the neighborhood too and I want to be better at work. I want to be more pro-active and competitive even though I don’t know how to start it. I want to achieve high percentage in every tests. I want to know God more and learn to lean to Him alone. I expect more zombies movie to be released in cinema and finally I want to have a healthier live compare to know. Lord Jesus, this is my prayer.
