Weight Loss

Since i was required to attend a court charge by the military on the 11th November 2009, i had tell myself to start reducing my weight in preparation for the exercise that I am due for next year.

As i am not active for the past few years, i only began with walking around the neighbourhood in a bid to start myself active in exercising.

On top of that i ensure that i eat when i am hungry and to the extent of not so full. more fruits and vegetables and more water too.

Alhamdulillah, it seems to bear fruit. On top of it since i was having that toothache thing, i manage to lose a total of 4 KG within 2 weeks.

I am planning to lose another 4 kg in 2 weeks.

My pants are getting loose and i need to get new pants soon.

Hopefully i can get new ones and maintain at it for the rest of next year.

I M IN PAIN!

It has been almost a week now...

The first dentist on Monday 23rd November 2009:

"i believe it is a slight infection. here is antibiotics and pain killers..1 pill 3 times a day..you shoudl take for 2 days worth and should be fine - no extraction or root canal required yet"

The second dentist on Friday 27th November 2009:
"extraction? you are still young. Why not do root canal since your root is INFECTED..it would do you good for 10 years..oh it is only $1700.00 excluding GST. Not medisave claimable..."

The third dentist on Saturday 28th November 2009:
"extraction cant be done for this case because you are still young. i dont think root canal is that BADLY infected...the swollen gums doesnt mean you are in a worst condition that cant be controlled...i will prescribe you 5 days worth of antibiotics and painkillers - call me on Tuesday if you are still in pain. finish the antibiotics and on Saturday come back agian for review..we see how it goes"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cost of that root canal piss me off. Furthermore i cant claim under medisave. What is it with this controls that is in place. I worked hard for that money. Why cant i use it?

You think i like to get this infection in my mouth is it? causing me pain and unable to sleep due to the pain. causing me headache as to where can i get $1700 to pay for my treatment. yes go private is ex but as if go public make any difference. yes..there is difference..a few hundreds difference.

and all by cold hard cash.

It would probably take me 4 months to save $2K!

if i am really serious about it though!

sometimes i really worry about the people who earn less than me. How the hell are they going to get all that money to pay for all this operation thingy??

I still believe they have to review that medisave withdrawal for dental issues. Agree for cosmetic reason you cant use but if it is for a procedure that has to ease pain or relieve for someone..why not right??

I am in pain and i need medical treatment to improve myself.

The amount of pain for a week ...  only God knows..:(

haizzzz... is anyone with the Ministry of Health? Can someone please wake up?

Eid - Ul - Adha

Labbaik Allah humma labbaik
Labbaik la sharika laka labbaik
Innal hamda
Wan-ni'mata
Laka walmulk
Laa sharika lak.

O my Lord, here I am at Your service, here I am.
There is no partner with You,
here I am.
Truly the praise
and the provisions are Yours,
and so is the dominion and sovereignty.

There is no partner with You.



Once again, we meet the greater Eid.
May we all be given the opportunity to be in the Holy City at least once in our life time.


Salam IdulAdha




Edz...

Five Pillars...

Five Pillars,
The foundation of our life

A must,
A requirement,
A testimonial
The Syahada

Five times a day,
The command from above,
Stated clearly,
Is it so difficult to commit?

Ramadan-a month long
To stand hunger and thirst,
Heaps upon Heaps of Rewards
Shall no one reap?

Share the wealth,
Among the rest,
Feed the community,
Sustain the positivity.

For those who can afford,
Do perform it..
Once in a lifetime,
Mecca beckons to ye...

The afterlife calls to us,
Leave not this world empty handed,
Fill it to the brim,
With all His Commandmends..
Insya Allah we shall live
By his Grace,
We shall leave,
With All Our Faith...

Amin.

Sekadar Renungan

I would just like to share something with you.

Certain things have its limits.

I was invited to 2 events on Thursday - 26th November 2009. 

One was a takbiran event and the other a birthday BBQ.

Being the eve of Hajj, of course i would go to a takbiran event.

The invitation for takbiran is after Maghrib while the BBQ starts at 6 pm onwards.

Both host are Muslims. 

Now, as everyone else who reads this blog is aware that my birthday fall on the 8th October each year. The Islamic Calender is on the 12th Zulhijjah which is the day of Hajj itself.

Therefore technically, i am turning 28 based on the Islamic Calender this Friday.

Birthday or not, Hajj is another Muslim event that requires one to observe its importance. The eve is often spent to pray and glorify Allah SWT - something which i notice the youngsters nowadays seems not to do.

In actual fact, Hajj have to be celebrated for 4 days as it consider the greater of the other festival - the Eid Al Fitr Or Aidilfitri to celebrate end of fasting which was supposed to be only 1 day and NOT 1 month as prescribed by some. 

No offence intended. I have no intention to bring a person down but it is just for one to observe the importance of Hajj.

I believe the birthday event which comes coincidentally together with Hajj might as well be used for greater purpose - to commemorate the Hajj, to pray for the best of one's life.

Insya Allah, all will be granted by Allah SWT.

But to each his own and if it were up to me, i would do it that way. You can do BBQ anytime but the Hajj is a fixed schedule for one to observe and respect its importance.

Sakit Gigi!

At first it was a tingling sensation that I felt on Thursday yet i chose not to think much about it.
Came Saturday, the real pain came in the evening while i was about to eat dinner.

By Sunday i was totally unable to function ;(

Went to a dentist at 3 pm today. Decide to head to one because it was getting too unbearable.

Dentist checked and didnt want to pull out any teeth because all was fine but he did share probably it was infection due to the existing fillers in my teeth is no longer there (over and done with thru time)

Nice saintly old man..and i intend to go back there again for my cleaning in 2 weeks time. He put me at ease and i am definitely comfortable.

Truthfully, before I am able to type this, i was again in pain. I brushed my teeth, rinse with the colgate Plax and remembered mom's home remedy when i spoke to her again this evening.

I mixed tamarind with water and turn it to paste. Rub the tamarind paste on my right cheek the area of pain.

Immediate cooling sensation ... and the pain subside - miraculously. :P

well it is just home remedy but i still have to take my antibiotics and paracetemol :P

Pray for my well being darls... I am soooo in pain right now...

The Weekend!

On Saturday 14th November 2009, I invited my family and my aunt to come over for dinner.

It was my first time cooking for 2 families and was a bit challenged and anxious. Both are due to the fact that I am cooking for 2 ladies who can cook very well - my mother and of course my aunt.

I made 3 dishes and 1 kueh

They are:

1. Eurasian Chicken Stew
2. Sweet Sour Fish
3. Hot Sour Soup
4. Putri Salat (again yes i am practicing)

Here are the piccies - my the other 2 sibling didnt came. The sister went off for an APEC thing and my younger brother was visiting problem his mak angkat or something..

  

The glorious food!

 

I am happy that after all that cooking..the 2 ladies compliment my cooking. Very rare. :) yay!

Outing with my bestie~

I was supposed to meet her on Sunday morning breakfast right after her shift but i guess time was just not on our side.

Decided to meet up for dinner with her today :) i miss my bestie. 

Time is always the issue.. we are both caught up with our affairs - matters of work, heart and self...if only i can turn back time...

  

  

Dysfunctional Family

Reference - The New Paper, 7th November 2009 Page 12.

Finally justice has been served on this family. No doubt i was appalled by this case since it first made headlines.

The abusers:

Maselly Ab Aziz - 39

(Mother of 3)

Elsa Elyana Said - 26

Lesbian Lover to Maselly

Nur Rizan Mohd Sazali - 19

Maselly's Daughter

Muhammad Iz'aan Mohd Sazali - 21

Maselly's Son

What they did:

Attacked a maid - Ms Badingah 31 Indonesian

2 Front Teeth was pulled out

extensive injuries on back, arms, torso and abdoment including healed scald wounds plus large areas of tender infected scalp.

I am not sure what went on in their mind when they hurt the maid to such extent. Frankly, they lived in a miserable rented 3 room flat. What do they have that the maid wants to steal from them? I wonder if they barely can ever afford to pay the maid's salary even not to mention the levy yet.

Maselly's background - twice divorced, had a lesbian lover, have an illegitimate grandchild (her daughter got preggy) and a son who wants to be a woman.

It began when one of them ( i can't recall who but read the report) accused the maid of stealing money. The maid denied flatly.

To my opinion, there are various WAYS of interrogating a thief and a suspect is only a suspect UNTIL proven guilty.

However what they did to the maid is beyond that interrogation. They were obviously of sound mind when they did that.

Nur Rizan force 2 of the maid's front teeth, helped by the lesbian (She force the maid's mouth open) and instigated by Maselly. Rizan also poured wax on her head, That lesbian punched her face and Maselly poured wax on her private parts.

The sissy only caned her legs (guess how sissy he could be?)

I shed countless tears when i first read this. Imagine if we fall flat on the hard cold stone floor and hit our two front teeth (It happen to me before) how pain it could be for us and IMAGINE being extracted out forcefully?

There is no sense of compassion at all. Even our prophet don't do that to people who steal. Yes there are syariah law intending for thiefs to be CHOPPED off their hands IF they steal BUT this is only as the last resort if the person who steals:

1. do not show any regret

2. talk about it

3. cause disharmony among the community

4. has more than 2 witnesses for (males) or 4 witnesses for (female):

To me that law is only intended to keep and remind everyone that stealing is wrong! But the one being punished should not be punished to an extent that can cause him/her unable to feed herself for the rest of her life.

Yes i know the above law usually applies to adultery but if we think logically, it is necessary to invoke those other law that applies to adultery to stealing as well - such as the witness law.

I just hope the family will regret their actions and move on. Do not do that to other humans. This is your share in this world but the punishment from Allah will be given to you when it is judgement day. May Allah have mercy on you.

To the boy - don't be silly and be a woman...you are still a man when you die so might as well be responsible for it.

To Maselly - wake up! Guide your kids

To Nur Rizan - keep your legs crossed

To The lesbian - WAKE UP! What the hell you want? Getting pregnant and having a kid while having a relationship with Maselly?

Horrendous..truly horrendous...

oh and here are theirs..and the maid... :)

Maselly - yesterday's report showed her wearing the tudung..whatever for i dont know lah..

That's the daughter and son who wants to be a daughter

The maid without the 2 front teeth

The maid with new front teeth courtesy of a dentist. :)

I cant find a pic of that lesbian lover..but u can check it out at today's new paper.

My final say:

True maids may cause us some problems, vexed and frustration. What we perceive as a basic tool in our life may be new to the maid.

For all you know, they dont even have gas stoves at where they live.

Singaporeans takes a lot of things for granted and I am also guilty of it. But that does not mean we can treat others cheaper than dirt.

For those of you who even think of lifting a finger against your maid, think again yah..dont end up like this family. Punishment on earth may be nothing to you but remember there are other forms of punishment handed out by the Almighty to you be it in this life or hereafter.

Don't let it be on us Ya Allah.

This week has been a very busy week. It is still continuing. I left at 8pm today.

It still cant beat the Sunday schedule where i started work at 6 am and ends by like 6 pm. 

I am still feeling tired because i have been working non-stop without a day's rest. I am so looking forward to sleep this Saturday! 

Anyway, amidst of all the hectic schedule we do spend time joking,sharing stories and watching ghost stories on YouTube.com while processing the tedious repetitive work that we have.

Also i have been hearing stories of people getting involved with the other side or rather the unseen/supernatural side.

I am also one of the firm believer - if you are a good person, nothing would harm you if God Wills and If it did happen to you, the only cure for you is to seek help from God. 

It is not that i do not want to believe. The other side is as much as God's creation as we are and no doubt we are more superior than that BUT we succumbed to our lust/greed/temptations easily.

My advise to those who are often disturbed:

1. Pray often

dont wait till u get disturb that you will start praying

2. Believe that you are superior than that thing. The only fear that you should have is fear of incurring Allah's wrath.

3. Be clean always. (for muslims - keep away from haram things and make sure you all mandi hadas besar ye) 

4. Be sincere in your dealings

I believe if all these is being observed, one should have no problem with such "things"

They can be there for all you care but remember it is you are superior not them.

Miss International Queen 2009

Before you decide that this is another beauty pageant full of bimbos, i suggest you do another look. Ms Singapore Universe and Miss Singapore World can take a leaf out of this pageant though.

The spectacular make up, the gorgeous costumes...says it all...

Oh puhleaseee stop saying transexuals may not be educated...take a good look at Leona Lo's impressive resume.. :)

Go google..dont expect me to feed you with the links for more pictures.. :)

Tough Day

It is a tough day for me.

I was in office at 6am this morning. A monthly routine for me.

and i left close to 6 pm.

I made a slight boo boo at work..but all was well by 4 pm.

Drop by at JP to get the treasury tags and scotch tapes followed by dinner at banquet.

I am off to slumber now..really shagged out..need my beauty sleep. Tomorrow morning wake up to iron my clothes for the week...

shucks!
