Yesterday I did not dare to cut the dead skin off cos it hurts a little.
Therefore I did it this morning after my shower.
Second bandaid
Third bandaid
And this is why the bandaids look the way they do.
But I made sure I go back to the conventional ones. Bought them this afternoon at Servay Hypermarket while grocery shopping.
I asked the salesgirl at the counter for another pack. She said they were all sold out. Oh my, bandaids also selling like hotcakes.
Took away the following from Restoran Zai Zai for lunch to share with mum, Aunty Alice and Chloe.

Prawn NoodlesI only knew about this road last Saturday night on the way home from having dinner at JJ Western Food at Damai Plaza Phase IV. My SIL was using the road. It was a breeze to arrive at
I might be the last person who knows about this but the next day after Canaanland Celebration I used that road to go back to
Today I used the road again.
In case those of you who do not know about this, let me describe how you can use it.
After the roundabout leading to SMC, instead of turning into SMC keep to the left and go up the road until you see a house on a hill. On the right of the house, there is a small road but do not go into that road.
Instead, drive past the house and you will see this road.
From side view, the house on the hill looks like this.

Closer View of Project Signboard
The road looks like traffic can go both directions but that is the misleading part.
The road signs indicate both directions but the lane on the right is actually meant for only the occupants of the house up the hill to use.
That means this road can only be used by vehicles travelling from SMC to Lintas Road but not vice-versa.
But what is the function of this small road on the right after the house?
Well, believe it or not, it’s only for motorcycles coming from Lintas Road to use but not for any other types of vehicles.

Ok so here we are having a new road that must have cost quite a bit (no doubt about that) to build eventhough it is only for a short stretch and that would reduce travelling time for some people but what were the authorities thinking of by putting it just a one way street?
I thought it would make more sense if the road is to cater for ambulances having a shorter route to reach SMC from Lintas Road but the road does not even serve this purpose at all.
I am not complaining about this since I can reduce my travelling time but my question remains, 'What exactly is the main function of this road?'
Always enjoy popping this thing since small.
Yesterday opened a bottle of Chinese cough medicine and there were two pieces inside the box.
Had two sandwiches at 11a.m. and another two at 3p.m. Did not have lunch due to lack of appetite. Did not have any hot drink as well.
Still coughing but the sore throat is vanishing. Have been taking Western and Chinese medicines, though not at the same time.
After work at 5p.m. went to Khidmat Supermarket and bought some bandaids.
Did not know how they look like until I take one out after shower to put on the wound.
Received by forwarded email at the end of last year.
For those ladies over 40 THIS IS PRICELESS!
In case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 40.
60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)
As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.
Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.
Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons.
Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.
For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?', here's an update for you.
Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!
Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!
Forward to five fine, fun, fabulous, fancy-free female friends over 40 or who have female friends over 40!
Happy New Year once again.
I could not sleep early last night cos the sound of the fireworks and firecrackers were too deafening.
I think I fell asleep after 1a.m. and did not wanna wake up eventhough the time was already 11.30a.m.
Finally mum knocked on my door. Aunty Alice’s relatives from
Mum wanted to take them out for lunch but I had to drive since their car had just enough space for them. I told mum I was no way fit enough to drive and therefore we abandoned her idea. They left and she cooked a simple lunch for us.
After lunch I tried to rest and at 4p.m. I started to prepare to cook lamb chops.
I cut out the button mushrooms that would be used to put inside the gravy.
Eventhough we have two ovens, I only used one. Each side of the lamb chop was cooked at 225 degrees Celcius for approx. nine minutes before turning over.
Altogether there were fifteen pieces, some really big ones and I had to separate them into three lots to cook.
After the lamb chops were cooked, I used a normal table knife to cut them into pieces. We were not having a full Western meal and that was why I had to cut them into pieces.
I did not realise that my right index finger became like this until half way through the cutting, I wanted to take a break to cook the gravy.
As I started to cook the gravy, I washed my hands and realised the skin on my left index finger had torn. It hurt a little but I could still continue to do what I was doing.
After dinner and shower, I searched for a bandaid but realised that I ran out of supply. I just had to do without it until I go to the supermarket after work tomorrow.
In the meantime, I hope the wound would not develop into an infection.
Time really flies by. We just said goodbye to 2009. A new year and decade are upon us.
Last year were filled with ups and downs for me.
The GOOD aspects
1. Most of all I am still alive to continue to write this blog. This I truly thank God for, the being alive bit, not the blog bit. I said this because ... (please read Item 1 and 2 on The NOT SO GOOD aspects below)
2. The reality of my Creator in my life. In the midst of an extremely desperate situation, His peace was so real. I love you my Abba Father.
3. And through serving Him, I had a major breakthrough in my life.
4. Promotion at work.
5. In the midst of busyness, I travelled domestically to the following places.
a. Thrice to KL
b. F.T. Labuan
c. Tawau
6. Developed closer relationship with some family members, good friends and LG members.
7. More consistent in attending LG.
8. Able to exercise though stopped just before the Canaanland Celebration Retreat until end of the year.
9. Able to attend KK Jazz Festival at
10. Time spent with friends for food and fellowship.
11. Mum able to travel to
12. Having Aunty
The NOT SO GOOD aspects
1. Two good friends passed away and their demise really had an impact on me. They were not old at all. Both had just retired. It made me re-evaluate my life. We may plan for the future but our future, in fact our present and past are all in the hands of God. I cannot add one day even to it but as long as I am here, I have tried not to sweat over the small stuff. It is not an easy task for someone like me who is so into detail.
2. Two couples of friends who lost their babies. My heart ached with them.
3. Some relationships I have hoped to improve had gone worst rather than better. I had tried but ... Oh well ... One cannot always win.
4. Did not attend as many prayer meetings as I would have wanted to.
5. I gave up reading the OT before the half way mark. NT was a piece of cake though.
6. I did not sleep as much as I wanted to. As a result of that and not enough rest, I ended the year being sick.
7. I was still spending too much time on the internet, but less as compared to 2008.
In 2010 I hope to be able to do the following.
1. Have a even closer relationship with Abba Father.
2. A better result in reading the OT.
3. Better time management at work to accomplish more.
4. Travel internationally. A valid passport would be handy.
5. Cook more for the family.
6. Rest more.
7. Getting to know more people and touching lives.
