I just got back from a long weekend in Segamat helping out with the flood relief and rehabilitation program. Such a great impact…
I feel glad that I live in the city where no flood or tsunami can threaten us. I feel glad that I would not live in poverty, losing everything that I own. I feel glad knowing that my loved ones would not be exposed to these miseries.
We were packing the items to be distributed for the villagers at Kampung Jawa and it sadden me more to think that even a simple donation of toothbrush and soap are part of the NEED item. What can you expect? We ended up packing up more things like sanitary pads and under wears. Everything was put together in this big pail, along with two blankets and mattress for each families. Just imagine. Now, their only possession is this pail and mattress given by Petronas. Life has to start again from ground-0.
The big hall that accommodate hundreds of innocent families.
The single pail that contains all that they own.
The sad faces of mom and dad looking at the 1 x 2 m of space they now own.
But then seeing those joyful faces of their children who run freely and happily knowing they used to have swimming pool at their own back yard. At least, that put back some smile. At least, not all joy is gone.
Dear God,
Jauhkan segala kesusahan begini.

Adakah itu Ketumbuhan?
I am too bloody lazy to read this (which explains why it was not properly edited), or to explain this condition to other people, so here it goes. I have this acute ‘tumor-like-condition’ on my hand. The doc diagnosed it as ganglion cyst. So, basically I can either have two options to remove it
1. Get help from my sis to bang some very thick book on it when I’m sleeping, so that it will pop back in
OR
2. To surgically remove it
So, in thinking about what I should and should not do, I have completely forgotten about it. But the other day when I was talking to some friends, again, I notice this humongous cyst on my hand. Damn. I almost forgot about that.
Should I or should I not? Just for the sake of MC, I’ll take the surgical option. Haha…
But, attached below are some excerpts for your further reading. It’ll do you some good the next time you gonna ask me about it. At least, when I explain it to you again, it will just be just a revision kinda thing.
Taken from this internet website… somewhere……
What is a Ganglion Cyst?A ganglion is the most common mass that develops in the hand. Ganglion cysts are benign lesions. No cases of associated malignancy have been reported. A ganglion can be described simply as a fluid-filled sac arising from an adjacent joint capsule or tendon sheath. A ganglion can form from almost any joint or tendon sheath in the wrist and hand. Your Indiana Hand Center physician will review this with you during your appointment.
What are the Causes?The exact cause of ganglions remains uncertain. The most popular theory is that ganglions form after trauma or degeneration of the tissue layer responsible for producing the synovial fluid which normally lubricates the joint or tendon sheath. The cyst arises from accumulation of this fluid outside the joint or tendon sheath in a sac or cyst.
How is it Treated?Ganglion cysts often change in size and may even disappear spontaneously. For this reason, if the ganglion is asymptomatic, it may be best to simply observe the mass for a period of time. Ganglions about the wrist may respond well to a temporary period of immobilization if diagnosed early.Aspiration of a ganglion by an Indiana Hand Center physician may help diagnose the lesion and may temporarily or permanently treat the condition. This consists of first numbing the area with a local anesthetic and then inserting a needle to withdraw the clear, jelly-like fluid from the ganglion sac. A compressive dressing or splint may be applied following aspiration. Aspiration is extremely useful in minimizing symptoms when surgery is not desired. Recurrence of the ganglion can be expected in up to 50% of cases following aspiration.The most reliable method of treating a ganglion cyst is by surgical excision. This is done on an outpatient basis. Ganglions in the finger can be removed under a local anesthetic. However, those cysts involving the wrist usually require a regional or general anesthetic. The ganglion is removed through an incision directly over the area of swelling. Care is taken to attempt to identify its site of origin, and to excise a small portion of the joint capsule or tendon sheath from which it has arisen. In the treatment of a mucous cyst at the distal interphalangeal joint, it is important to remove any osteophytes (bony spurs) that may be associated with the origin of this type of ganglion.
Anyway,
Selamat Hari Raya Haji All!

Saya tengah bengang
I’m pissed.
If you are reading this, just to let you know that I know and that I am pissed.
Do you really think I fancy you that much? Now I know the sudden changes in your behavior, and now I know why you say things you say the other day. You have read the inside of my heart, and it sucks.
Thank you very much for telling the whole world about it. Thank you very much for stupidly leading me on.
I guess my friends are right when they describe me your character. They are right in every way.

Kenangan Indah 2006
1. My sister won Anugerah Skrin 2006, with her drama series, ‘Rafflesia’. Geez.. I really thought that ‘Natasha’ would win, with the high talks about the popularity of the show. Anyway, congrats sis. I’m proud of you.
2. Had a great birthday bash! Thanks guys for the hand-baked cake (ahaks), and the gift. It was very memorable.
3. Eventhough it lasted 2 weeks, but it was something I’ll cherish. SS appreciate SS.
4. Rock climbing rocks! Had tones of fun, and stamina. Haha… I’m still afraid of height though.
5. Been seriously into tennis lately. Thanks Mail for being a good coach. I’ll make you proud Year 2007. Who knows, might bring a trophy back. Muahahaha. Keep on dreaming.
6. Got my own Baby G which I love dearly. Monthly installment killing me, but at least something I can be proud of. Go G all the way.
7. My lovely friends whom I treasure most… Zalia, Aima, Ivan, Ed, Ili. Miss hanging out with you guys. You guys are the best. Eventhough we have grown apart, but you guys are still close to my heart. Weird thing is your partner’s name rhyme along. (Ja & Jumy Aima & Ima Ivan & Ili). Coincidental huh. Maybe mine would sound something like.. Suzuki? Muahahahahaha.
8. Latest addition to the family would be ‘lil Miss Sarah. Baby grown so big now. Aunty loves you dearly. Muah.
9. Promotion so called. Am now officially planner to AN. Thank sir for the trust.
10. Got a 2 for my PPA. I know I deserved it. Wish me luck this year!
11. My very own LV, Coach and Gucci. Thank you sis, thank you Wan!
12. Phuket was very nice and memorable. It feels like tsunami never did hit the island. Just amazing how they pick up all the pieces and re-develop the town. May the soul of those affected rest in peace.
13. Sudan was the trip of the year (not to mention the short trip to Dubai and Singapore on the way going). The flight got delayed because of the windshield crack causing multiple delay of flight in Singapore and Dubai, then again the delay due to the desert storm. Man.. what a memorable journey.
14. Orientation rocks! Friends I met along the way.. Memory treasured… Things I’ve learned (Naaaa). The two weeks period was all it takes. And for that I thank PETRONAS. Haha.
15. My very own company. I am now the director to Artistic Seni Sdn. Bhd.
16. And my life that I have now. There might be few glitches here and there, but it made me stronger and bolder. I feel very blessed. Thank you God.
Note: Highlights are not in order of importance. :-p
