Father help in plumbing work

This morning, my toilet hose bibb is loosen and pop out. I have to lock closed the main water hose in order not to waste and call for plumber service. That fellow don't know what time come. I can't even bath my kids and do all the washing, it was already almost 12noon. Thus, I search for rescue from my family nearby. Luckily my caring father was available at that time and he helped me to fix a new hose bibb in my toilet. My father bought the new hose bibb from a hardware shop less than 500m away from our house. Otherwise, one can get all the plumbing needs at online plumbing supply store and fix it yourself without paying a single cent for plumbing service.

Lorry Driver on the road

I recalled 1 incident happened yesterday during grandpa's funeral procession.

There was a lorry who purportedly drove very close to the funeral procession. Some of the volunteers did asked him to stop while giving way to the procession group, this bastard just acted against the will of others and hit a sedan car of our guest with a loud 'bang'. We're walking in front also could hear the noise.

When asking him to compensate the damage, he said he is employed by a company and asking our guest to claim the compensation at their office. You see la, BASTARD of not? This is the real Road-Bullied! Too bad they don't bring along camera, otherwise I want to let the world to see this human-head pigs-brain.

Does people now still cares for others? Why is it that hard to be patient a little to those who really need their co-operation and tolerance? Even the dead also they don't respect!!!

Farewell Grandpa

My dearest grandfather just passed away last Saturday. He was 90 years old. Today is the funeral day. As we opted for the old and conventional self-customized funeral service not as available at Nirvana Memorial Park, we were really exhausted preparing for the funeral ceremony over the last few days. However, all the preparations were well done and completed the whole process smoothly.

We hope that He is somewhere in heaven and bless all of us.

Bunny Painting

Found this craft material from a local store. Since my boys don't like to do colouring, I let them colour on a purpose - paint the bunny.

Materials:
2 unit Clay bunny & arcylic paints.

No appetite after you see their rabbit. .. you know la, boy do craft work....

Ever spoilt bun

My latest finding - buns can last more than 3-week and still looking good! awesome!

To be precise, I bought these buns 22days ago from mobile rotiman/breadman riding on motocycle one. Forgotten to eat after 1 week, I just leave it to be hanged there. Out of curiosity, I do some experiment on the bread and see how long it can last.

Amazingly, up to now, it's still doing fine and there's no single mould growing on it! Do you think I still dare to consume these bread from the rotiman? Wahlao... these fellow don't know put how many times doses of preservative on it. want to let ppl die arr.....

No more buns from this source again. You too, want to spoilt your body???

Pegaga - Asian Pennywort

A senior also friend of mine is searching for herbal medical practitioner to cure her husband's diabetic foot sore.

As I'm a avid alternative medicine reader, herbs can be served as prevention as well as to cure a sickness. I always consume an asian herbs called 'pegaga'. It can be eaten raw as salad or blending it with water and added with sugar syrup to drink as juice - pegaga sugared syrup.

It is one of the most popular fold medicines in Asia. We believes it has 101 medicinal value in this plant, which grows wild throughout tropical and subtropical regions. A senior staying nearby our neighbourhood is harvesting pegaga to sell to wet-market to make a living.

Basically it has 2 differentiated leaves, one is with edgy shape leaves and the other is rounded shape leaves. The plant has been shown to be good in purifying the blood, if consume in large doses, it helps lower blood sugar levels.

Economy outlook

For those who's in business, they know the outlook in the market is not positive. It is as dead.

I was delighted when I read a report in mainstream media yesterday from Tun Mahathir on 'End Oil Speculation - ... calls on Asean to take united stand to stop price escalation'. At least he knows that a few people are making a lot of money. The Government has a role to play.... for more info. please refer The Star dated 3July 2008 pg:N14.

Our voice is too soft to be heard. We're too weak to do anything.

I studied my MBA when I was 22yo. with almost 9 years of study and observation, I can say that the market is not going to improve after this round of drastic gas price increased if our country don't do anything with it. With everybody mainly fighting for the most basic need - food - which is getting expensive and not affordable by the poor.

One thing I was quite surprised is that we're left in the dark by not informed and prepared for the turmoil. When we just experienced it, that is too late. A lump sum of investment has been invested and the ROI is not going to pay off to offset the inflation rate and escalating cost of living.

When everyone is merely fighting for its own surviving - the food, other thing else is considered luxury which is beyond their affordability. In other words, for SMEs besides food & food ingredient industry, it would be in hard time. We're too vulnerable to globalization.

My advice is hold back your desire to own unnecessary thing and nurture the young one with right education.
