Saya pun membalas balik serangan itu sambil menjerit sekuat hati meminta tolong.<br />"Walaupun dompet itu hanya berisi RM10, saya bertindak melawan peragut itu kerana duit itu hasil titik peluh saya dan saya juga memang pantang dibuli," katanya yang lebam di kedua-dua lutut, paha dan kepala.<br />Menurutnya lagi, suspek kemudian melarikan diri ke motosikal yang terletak kira-kira 30 meter dari tempat kejadian tetapi dia bertindak mengejar lelaki itu.<br />"Saya tak sanggup melihat peragut itu terlepas begitu saja, jadi saya kejar dia dan terus menyerangnya. Peragut itu juga cuba menyelak baju kurung saya ketika kami bergelut kerana menyangka saya akan malu dan berhenti menyerangnya tetapi dia silap," ujarnya.<br />Dzil Falilah memberitahu, belum sempat suspek menghidupkan enjin motosikalnya, teman lelakinya tiba dan merempuh motosikal menyebabkan dia terjatuh.<br />"Ketika itulah orang ramai datang membantu menangkapnya sebelum polis tiba," jelasnya lagi.<br />Sementara itu, Ketua Polis Daerah Gombak, Asisten Komisioner Abdul Rahim Abdullah ketika dihubungi mengesahkan kejadian itu dan memuji keberanian gadis itu sehingga tertangkapnya suspek.<br />Katanya, lelaki berusia 20 tahun yang memiliki dua rekod jenayah curi dan dadah itu kini ditahan reman selama tujuh hari untuk disiasat sekiranya dia turut terlibat dalam jenayah lain.<br /><br /><br /><p>Source: <a href="http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/">http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/</a></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">HAHAHA!

I have started collecting data, via classroom observation &amp; interviews. Hopefully by next week I can proceed wth the data analysis. BUT thrz a prob. I'm NOT confident to analyse them! Ok, I'll worry abt tht next week.<br /><br />...my family received a call frm our relative who resides in Tambunan. Our uncle was admitted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital due to stroke. Tht was on the 7th sept, 09. Elder bro &amp; mum visited uncle at the hospital tht same evening. The next day, eldest bro &amp; eldest sis' turn. At 4.30pm, 09.09.09 we were informed tht uncle had passed away. So, eldest bro &amp; I went to the hospital. My late uncle was dadz 3rd cousin. I remember uncle Jeffrine but I was never close to him. I do remember tht he was around whn dad passed away last year.<br />How did I feel being in the hospital again? It felt weird. I saw the morgue. I remember when dad was thr last year. It hurt. All the feelings I had last year on the day dad was pronounced dead, came crawling back.<br />When we were waiting for the body to be released, I was introduced to the uncles &amp; aunties(uncle Jeff's siblings). They didnt remember me, bcs I was still a baby when their family moved. But uncle Jeff &amp; his younger bro, used to visit us even aftr their family moved, so both of them, I remember. I eventually met my 4th cousins.<br /><br /><br />Mum insisted we attend the funeral in Tambunan. Hence, we were thr yesterday. The requiem mass went smoothly...&amp; I met a few familiar faces. 1 of them used to be my former student. Now I knw, he is my cousin. The funny part was, so many ppl were confused on how both families are related! Well, thx to my Penampang greatgrandmum who got 'kidnapped' by a Tambunan chap, long long time ago :)<br /><br /><br />Honestly, I'm really glad tht I went for the funeral in Tambunan. The relationship between the 2 families will definitely continue...fingers crossed tht the 5th generation will keep in touch.<br /><br />On the way back to Penampang, we stopped at TVRC. Eldest bro wanted mum to see the fish thr! Gosh! They were huge!<br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380457789531554562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/Sqs52koDAwI/AAAAAAAAAw0/gTvSyJBo1dk/s320/11092009892.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="center"><em>rm2.50 for a bag of fish food...we spent abt 5 bags!</em><br /></p><br /><br />As for now, I'm back to my routine.

I was in the verge of depression after my dad passed away...nobody knew I was in tht state, except for 2 of my close friends... kept everything to myself &amp; acted as normal as I could possibly be whenever I was in public. Then, a good friend told me to start blogging... being a recluse at tht time, I thought mind as well... so on the 27th August 2008, I officially had my 1st <a href="http://missmathew.blogspot.com/2008/08/why-now.html">post</a>. As days &amp; weeks &amp; months went by, I had the opportunity to meet new friends &amp; long lost friends through My Pavilion... thanx to blogging for keeping me sane :)<br /><br /><br />Honestly, whn I read back my earlier posts, they were mostly sombre entries... but anniversary is supposed to be a happy occasion, no? The only thing tht comes to mind is my birthday... I'm always happy during the B-day, &amp; since I didnt manage to share my special day ths year ON my bday, here they are! Happy! Happy!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SpVo_lfTcVI/AAAAAAAAAvM/7krLBIw4Yhg/s1600-h/P4090098.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374317171941011794" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 93px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SpVo_lfTcVI/AAAAAAAAAvM/7krLBIw4Yhg/s200/P4090098.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SpVrA2qhFyI/AAAAAAAAAvs/xklQ_pcGTxE/s1600-h/P4090101.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374319392754571042" style="WIDTH: 200px;

Once I’m back in KK, I wont be able to eat YOU!!!! So today’s menu? KELI. Ooooooh! While SIL &amp; I were enjoying our food, somebody approached our table &amp; said, “Fideeeeellll?” I shouted (in a mild tone but still super excited!) “ROSNIZA!!!!!!” We hugged &amp; chatted for a bit b4 she went back to her table to indulge the yummilicious waffle. Rosniza &amp; I were in the same course in college &amp; separated whn we went to different Uni in England. Shez now working wth EPRD. She looks GLAMOROUS!<br /><br />1 of my agendas ystrdy was to find an appropriate top to be worn on Friday to EPRD :) I accidently forgot to pack my Friday attire…iskh! 1st boutique we entered was espirit… bought meself an spirit shorts for rm69.90. They are having a promotion of 20% discount if one buys 2 items…unfortunately, none to my liking, except for the shorts… Entered a few more boutiques…uhuuu…went back to the lib without a Friday top ;(<br />Thn, the quest for the top continued in The Summit! At the 11th hour, b4 all shops closed, SIL pointed ‘Reject Shop’!!! It has been ages since I stepped in ths shop! I thought the chain was no longer in existence ;) hehe! Brought back memories of my college years…the most frequented shop ;) Ding-ding-ding! We’ve got a winner! Wth RM30.90 (aftr 30% discount) got meself a black top! YES!!! Mission impossible no more!<br /><br />Another long day today...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3505725891796113491-2954971993698360665?l=missmathew.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Miss Mathewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06885566760869055849noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505725891796113491.post-45850079644961498322009-08-11T20:41:00.010+08:002009-08-11T21:30:30.549+08:00Landed KLIA at approximately 8.30am yesterday…OMG! I was soooooo tired! Not enuf sleep d night b4 ;( &amp; I partly blame the ‘kogutan’ ;( aka I blame me la tu… anyways, I had an interesting encounter wth our Malaysian actors who were in KK for the Malaysia Film Festival. Yes, I was in the same flight wth them…I recognized their faces but not their names though…pics???? For real??!!! Hehe! I actually wanted to wth the actor who acted in Gerak Khas the series BECAUSE my mum watches the series on TV2 every Friday at 10pm religiously! I kid U NOT! Sorry mum, my pride won yesterday :)<br /><br />Frm KLIA, I adjourned to Putrajaya. Met SIL in her office, chatted for a bit &amp; off to EPRD. Time is precious. MUST not waste time:) The bell was rung at 4.30pm…bye-bye EPRD. Upon leaving Parcel E, building E8, guess who was standing at the foyer??? Tan Sri Muhyiddin! I officially saw the person who said PPSMI, OUT. How did I feel? Honestly, I didn’t feel anything, but I seriously think he should go for a scrub, if not the whole facial ordeal :) ahaks!<br /><br />I’m still waiting for SIL…itz great to hv close friend working in Putrajaya…oh! I met 1 of my collegemates, Ms Najah!!!! She’s working wth EPRD now..she looks great! Beautiful as ever! I was quite shocked to hear my name being called…whn turned, there she was! Bob aka Rosniza is supposed to be wth EPRD, but shez on medical leave today. Maybe 1 of ths days, well until ths Friday tht is, we’ll be able to get together…fingers crossed!<br /><br />KELI!!!!

I decided at 10am tht I hate today. A series of events happened, wch most of them were good news. BUT I decided to hate today. A neighbour's dog destroyed our gate, so tht he could enter my hse compound. Letz juz not talk abt it, ok ;( btw, NO, I didnt kill the dog. Then, before heading out to UMS for meeting, I decided to blog abt why I hate today in detail.... but, just b4 doin tht, I decided to visit my fav blogs...&amp; clicked on Just's Corner.

Remember once upon a time whn I blogged abt how I got irritated wth my cheeky undergrad students? well, my bad. I hv learnt to accept them as they r, &amp; they r a great group! Had a 6-hr session wth them last Sat...I was really tired, but glad tht I've covered 3 chapters! Hurrah for Ms Mathew! I'm back on track :) Then, my Sat became better aftr the long awaited 'The Proposal' was managed to be squeezed in the schedule. I absolutely love the movie! I cried &amp; laughed so hard tht I didnt even hv my dinner tht night! No worries, I will not spill any infos on the movie...go &amp; watch the movie urself ;)<br />Oh! I started running again! Yeah! Hope ths is goin to be my daily routine..so far, it has been ;)<br /><br />Oh! AND last Friday, we attended the 20th Installation of Tg. Aru Rotary Club in 1Borneo Grand Ballroom.

WHATEVER IT TAKES!<br />A day b4 our flight back to Malaysia, it rained heavily in the morning… I was restless, since the plan for tht day was to Caversham Farm, &amp; wine tasting at the numerous vineyards along the way… Prayed really hard tht the rain wld stop… it didn’t, but we drv anyways :) Woohoo!

Oooooo..I’m really tired, physically. I started my classes yesterday; 11am-2pm &amp; 7pm-10pm. I spent d whole day in UMS ystrdy. Too lazy to drv back home aftr my morning class, so I decided juz to hang around (zzzz) at A’s room/ off in UMS. Luckily his room is comfy minus the chair. All d same, Ta luv! But having to wear the same (FORMAL)clothing for a whole day wasn’t great at all. A quickie on my new undergrads….I hv 13 stdns for d morning class &amp; 33 stdns at night… OMG! I’v forgotten how cheeky 22 yr olds can be! LOL! Breathe in – breath out… *I’m Buddha on a mountain* arrghhh!!!! Nvm..I’ll deal wth them again next Tues :) As for now, looking out frm my tv room, dark clouds &amp; I’m certain it will rain any moment now…aaahhh ITZ raining NOW! Ths weather reminds me of Perth…<br /><br />Not so long ago, I went for a walkabout in Western Australia, specifically, Perth…<br />I knw, I shd blog abt my short 1 week getaway sooner…but I was still too excited thinking &amp; reminiscing abt the trip, so I kept thm wth me for a bit :) anyhoot… what can I say abt Perth?<br />OMG! I heart Perth! Landed Perth International Airport at abt 6am…was really sleepy &amp; tired, cudnt sleep properly on d flight ;( but all tht changed! The Australian officers were really polite &amp; friendly! So the opposite of our Msian officers…sad, but true. Fast forward on d day we arrived in LCCT KL, the officer kept on yelling at every1 to hurry up! All the <em>mat &amp; minah sallehs</em> were puzzled..&amp; 1 Aussie guy even told me tht he felt like a cattle! Poor US!!!<br />Calling Perth! Luckily I &amp; M were already waiting for us at d airport. Hehe! I must confess, I cried the moment M drove into Parkerville, he asked us to look on our right, a KANGAROO! A wild kangaroo, looking at us by d roadside! Whn we reached the hse &amp; led to the cabana whr we’d be staying…again I cried whn I saw a few roos aka kangaroos jumping around the compound! <em>Ths was behind the cabana...can U spot the roo near to the water catchment?</em><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358597076854201218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 166px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/Sl2PpnxXW4I/AAAAAAAAAlU/ROsMBB3kdaE/s320/07072009821.jpg" border="0" /><br />OMG!

Ate my vitamins like I’ve never had them..wait! oh ya, I don’t actually take my vitamins religiously ;) BUT thtz goin to change starting frm NOW.<br /><br />The 1st 24 hrs since my arrival, I’ve received a very sad news abt the death of my collegemate. Although the last time I met her was 10 yrs ago, but I could still remember how she looked like &amp; how down to earth she was…although we were not close in college, but we did talk occasionally. Wht hit me the most was her story on how she beat cancer &amp; basically living… reading her blog &amp; knowing how she was handling the last few days of her life was heartbreaking ;(<br />Feeling sad continued whn I happened to watch Robin William in What Dreams May Come on HBO. Then, Albom’s Five People You Meet in Heaven came to mind…the dialogues between Eddie &amp; the 5 ppl he meets in heaven kept on playing in my thoughts… all abt deaths &amp; beyond… ths is not healthy, is it? :(<br /><br />48 hours later… do I have fever? No. Cough? No. Difficulty in breathing? No. Body ache? No. Headache? No. Sore throat? No. Good news, no? :)<br /><div align="center">I guess I don’t need ths anymore… </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357869570200222258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/Slr5_KSoujI/AAAAAAAAAks/CAfpYogqOos/s320/13072009836.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center">YEAH!!! </p><p align="center">Tomorrow, I’m back to reality…the new semester starts ths week..WoHoo!!!<br /></p><p align="left">p/s: Perth?

Itz the greatest feeling ever to experience other ppl's culture, and be in a place where nobody knows U!<br />2 years ago, at ths time I was eagerly waiting for my Hanoi trip..it was indeed a superb trip, plus I got to dine at Bobby Chinn's restaurant &amp; had the man himself sitting wth us tht particular night :) last year, ths time around, I had just came back frm Bali wth not enuf sunburnt! My trip ths Saturday requires me to be extra careful and to some extend, in doubt... had my flu shot 2 weeks ago. The doc said itz ok for me to fly to ths specific destination. So, off to KL &amp; Perth ths Sat. Got my trusted N95 mask wth me &amp; hand sanitizer!<br />Now I'm thinking, would it be better to travel to my earlier planned 1 week Beijing trip? hmm...I'm praying hard by next year the Great Wall of China will still be whr it is supposed to be! lol! we'll nvr knw the future right ;)<br />Ooo...I do hope tht by the time I come back to KK by end of next week, my friends will not alienate me :)<br /><br />SATURDAY, COME QUICK WILL YA!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3505725891796113491-1053949580294259840?l=missmathew.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Miss Mathewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06885566760869055849noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505725891796113491.post-36062927733852429322009-06-30T00:59:00.004+08:002009-06-30T02:03:05.629+08:00<div align="left"><em>28th June 2009 : 00:00 ~ Dad passed away</em>.</div><div align="left">It triggered me tht a year ago I lost my dad.

Reached at 7.30am, the morning breeze was very welcoming. The feeling of satisfaction filled the air :) dadz resting place has been completed. After cleaning the area &amp; put all the flowers, we prayed the Rosary &amp; of course sang dadz fav song...I heard mum whispered, "<em>kiwa' sambayang lud lamin totuong baino...rumikot no kio</em>"...(thr will b a memorial mass tonight at home, do come) I knw mum misses dad a lot &amp; has been hoping to see him again... but tht wud be impossible ;(</div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352808783437897954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/Skj_OmdoIOI/AAAAAAAAAjc/5St63GUr1vc/s320/P6280210.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center">Us; mum &amp; siblings<br /><br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352808790574069090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/Skj_PBDBdWI/AAAAAAAAAjs/jDaBhl7orrc/s320/P6280218.JPG" border="0" /> Time really flies so fast...<br />Around 10am, after our goodbyes, we left for bfas b4 goin home &amp; continue wth the preparation... we ended up in Kak Nong, 1 of dadz fav restaurants...<br /><br />Fast forward, 6.30pm, relatives &amp; friends came to the house...as usual our cousins had been helping in the hse since afternoon.<br />Memorial mass started at 7.30pm.

Even the 120 pieces of spoons were not enough. We had to add up abt 40 extra spoons! NO, not complaining! We were thrilled &amp; happy tht dad is still remembered by so many. Although it was on a Sunday night, but they came. Our last farewell was close to midnight, or was it aftr midnight? cant remember...I was a zombie by the time every1 left...Aiyo! dont knw lah..I'v been sleepy, ALWAYS sleepy ths few days...so, did the washing &amp; cleaning...slept at abt 3ish am...<br /><br /><br />Woke up at 5.15am, needed to send elder bro to KKIA. His flight was at 7am. Came back, slept until 11am!!!<br /><br /><br />I will not deny tht I am tired. The fact is, mum &amp; my other siblings were tired as well...but itz def nothing compared to our contentment wth the whole thing :) We are very blessed to have supportive relatives &amp; friends... and most of all each other...

I last saw ths movie way back whn I was still studying in college. Anyways, is it too much to expect great things to happen to us? Ths q is in general... itz so depressing whn the expectations go the other way round ;( I knw nothing is perfect in ths world except God...but still...u knw? Ok, mayb I think too much.<br /></div><div>Coming back to movies of yesteryears. I accidently watched Legend of the Fall(LOTF) on time @ HBO yesterday at 2.40am. YUP! 2.40am :) TQ Farm Town! Since I had to wait for my crops to be harvested, I got the chance to see Tristan again! LOTF is 1 of my all time fav movies...the power of a certain Mr. Pitt :) I cried my heart out starting frm the part whr Samuel got killed during the war. Truth to be told, it was a relief for me, personally... I felt much better after the crying session.</div><div> </div><div>I have been in a sombre mood these few days... I started to visualise on the last few weeks b4 dad passed away, to be precised in June 2008. I still remember everything that had happened on the week dad collapsed, our father's day dinner &amp; trip to Sabah Tea Resort, &amp; on the day God chose dad to live in His kingdom. The events kept on playing on my head. Mum kept on talking abt our trip to Sabah Tea Resort wth dad last year. I knw shez hinting...so, I'll be organising the same trip next week. Sis &amp; family frm KL will be joining us ths time. Anything to make mum happy, I'll do it... honestly, I dont knw how I would be feeling during ths coming trip...</div><div>But I do knw how I felt yesterday evening. I went to help mum clearing some unwanted weeds at the riverside. P/s: our house is nxt to the river. So, it took me by surprise to see a fully bloomed flower (a type of rose) on the area whr dad collapsed last year. A few years ago, dad planted the flowers thr but they never seemed to bloom, until yesterday. It might be a coincidence, but I felt extremely happy. Itz like dad is still around, not physically of course, but a sign tht hez watching over us. Am I being sentimental? LOL! I sure want ths feeling to stay...</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342781538514069298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 220px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SiVfgIOlZzI/AAAAAAAAAf0/X07g-5vgOYA/s320/01062009755.jpg" border="0" /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3505725891796113491-5096140614344512584?l=missmathew.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Miss Mathewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06885566760869055849noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505725891796113491.post-43485379639565667482009-06-01T01:40:00.003+08:002009-06-01T02:01:06.218+08:00<div align="left">June has arrived… Is this a good month?

May was mother’s month for me. I felt bad for not spending more time wth mum on mothers’ day itself. I was too caught up wth my final exams. Sorry mama’. I knw tht bringing her <em>makan-makan</em> is not enough compared to all the things tht she had done to raise us…of course dad as the breadwinner of the family played an important role too… On Mothers’ day, we had lunch @ Lembah Impian Resort…</div><div align="left"><br /></div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342047729459023458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 186px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SiLEG0eWTmI/AAAAAAAAAfU/GW1XEk8VEQs/s320/10052009741.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="center"><em>Oxtail Assam Pedas</em><br /><br /></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342047731418693874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 277px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SiLEG7xkgPI/AAAAAAAAAfc/Z8WYfjqJgrM/s320/10052009742.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="center"><em>Black Pepper Fish</em></p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342047735101218082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 251px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SiLEHJfjXSI/AAAAAAAAAfk/eOUnOHkAtIE/s320/10052009743.jpg" border="0" /><em>Sweet &amp; Sour Fish</em></p><br />The week after, I brought mum to the museum J LOL!

I was really knackered &amp; hungry..but really lazy to go out &amp; eat once we reached Dynasty Hotel… Luckily I smuggled a few things from Mary Brown while waiting to board the plane in Kuching airport. We ate &amp; zzzzzzzz…<br /><br />Woke up for bfas around 8ish am…bfas buffet served in Dynasty Hotel Miri was good…but I was told tht their best wld b d weekend lunch buffet. Too bad we missed tht.<br />Ok..wht to do in Miri??? EAT! Of course :) &amp; sightseeing..I mean, Miri is not really tht far frm Sabah, but I never actually went around Miri. My only experience being in Miri was more thn 10 years ago. Transit. So, the hotel suggested tht we rent a car. One will never get lost driving around Miri. Even for a newbie, she said :) So, we got an auto iswara, rm280 for 2 days.<br />My dgcam went berserk AGAIN! It cudnt b used! Very frustrating &amp; I actually refused to even use my camphone to take pics. But, yeah..eventually I did click away :) Not tht frequent though…<br />Letz talk abt makan-makan 1st, shall we? Ahaks! Went to Luak Bay Esplanade, then along d way stopped at Taman Selera for seafood. Oh! Those who want to try out ths plc, itz only open in the evening until midnight, daily. I must say tht my personal fav was the pari bakar! Aiyo! Even the portion was really big! We opted for pari bakar, steam-sole fish, vege, corn soup &amp; rice..all for rm47.<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331211194123868626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SfxEVchW2dI/AAAAAAAAAcM/bP2R1pSYuWA/s320/28042009704.jpg" border="0" /><br />Sorry, I juz managed to snap the pari bakar :)<br /><br />Ooooh! I’d recommend Madli’s in Miri City. A dish called Lelapan is worth trying. The mee kolok is supposed to b d ‘it’ dish to eat at Madli’s, but not our night. Mee kolok out of stock! So, I resorted to another signature dish, ‘mee mamak’. Again, nyaman! I loike! Well, I hv to confess tht ths week had been the most I’v eaten laksa Sarawak! Practically, almost everyday! LOL! I don’t thnk I’ll b in contact wth laksa Sarawak for quite sometime :)<br /><br />Introducing “Fourway Crab Crackers Chip” (made in Kuching)<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331211187112769666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 248px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SfxEVCZx-II/AAAAAAAAAcE/sOge8ls4HTo/s320/02052009725.jpg" border="0" /><br />OMG! We fell in love wth ths keropok! Bought d 1st Fourway in Kuching for rm1.70 each. Bought 2. ONLY!! ONLY??? Then, whn we reached Miri all we cud thnk of was WHY didn’t we buy MORE! We kinda drove around Miri City to find Fourway…no luck… Then, a day b4 we left Miri, we decided to visit d Miri Crocodile Farm..Yup! drove all the way to Kuala Beram, abt 45mins away frm d city centre. Then, aftr spending abt an hour or 2 at d farm &amp; mini zoo, we stopped by at Kuala Beram’s town. Went to a small old fashion convenient store &amp; voila! Fourway!!!!

Anyways...I eventually started walking on the treadmill after more or less 20mins cleaning &amp; imagining :) I could feel my <em>hunok </em>bouncing almost every direction ;( especially my thighs &amp; belly. YUCK! I so wanted to stop after 30mins...I thought I was going to faint! Hehe! Then, I remembered The Biggest Loser tv prog. I lurve tht prog..a real motivation booster! So, yeah...I stayed on doin my power-walk for another 10mins...<br /></div><div>Then yesterday, I decided to run on the treadmill, again. Plugged in my iPod earphones &amp; I RRRAAANNN....non stop for 30mins...I felt really great! All sweaty &amp; smelly :) the bouncing thingy still occured, but..hey! I'll get rid of U SOOONNNN! So, after adding another 20mins power-walk on the treadmill...I had to stop. Got to go out for dinner. &amp; a few errands needed my attention as well... Did my stretching session...then...a 'click' sound from my neck area. I think, I mean, I know tht somethng bad had happened. OMG! The pain! <em>Silahau la pulak!</em> Geez....I was actually very careful when it comes to exercising, especially stretching. But fret not! I'm still going to run on U today treadmill!

What is Earth Hour?<br />Earth Hour is a global WWF climate change initiative. The campaign invites individuals, businesses, governments and communities to turn out their lights for one hour on one day of the year to show their support for action on climate change. The event began in Sydney in 2007, when 2 million people switched off their lights. In 2008, more than 50 million people around the globe participated. In 2009, Earth Hour aims to reach out to 1 billion people in 1,000 cities.<br /><br />2. When does Earth Hour take place?<br />Earth Hour 2009 will be held on Saturday March 28, 2009 between 8.30pm and 9.30pm local time. Anyone can participate.<br /><br /><div align="left">3. What does Earth Hour aim to achieve?<br />2009 is a critical year in determining the future of our planet. In December this year the world’s leaders will meet at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen to write and potentially sign a successor to the Kyoto treaty. Earth Hour 2009 aims to provide a platform for 1 billion people from around the world to express their desire for unified and urgent action on climate change in the lead up to Copenhagen.<br /></div><br /><div align="left">4. What does Earth Hour ask people to do?<br />Sign up at <a href="http://www.earthhour.org/malaysia">www.earthhour.org/malaysia</a> and pledge to switch off your lights from 8:30pm to 9:30pm on March 28.<br />It is also an opportunity for individuals and businesses to become more energy efficient in the longer term. Below is a list of actions we ask households and businesses to consider for reducing their energy consumption:</div><br /><div align="left">Households:</div>1. Switch off unused lights<br />2. Switch unused appliances off standby<br />3. Switch to energy efficient light globes<br />4. Reduce use of hot water<br /><br /><div align="left">Businesses:</div>1. Replace light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs<br />2. Be more efficient with heating and cooling – turn down the thermostat<br />3. Reduce use of hot water<br />4. Turn off lights and computers outside working hours<br />5. Educate your staff and colleagues on energy efficiency<br /><br /><div align="left">5. What does a commitment to Earth Hour involve for individuals and companies?<br />By committing to Earth Hour, individuals, communities and companies are pledging their support for the campaign by turning their lights off for the hour. They are also vowing to take the necessary steps to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions more broadly, by being conscious of how much energy they are using and by identifying opportunities in their homes or offices to reduce their energy consumption. Participation in Earth Hour is a signal of support for action on climate change, and to show your concern for the future of the planet.<br /></div><br /><div align="left">6. Who can participate?<br />Anyone! Anyone who shares a desire to unite with the global community and take a stand on climate change. Anyone who wants to demonstrate on a large scale that even just one hour can make a difference.<br /></div><br /><div align="left">7. What countries/cities will take part in Earth Hour 2009?<br />As of 27th March 2009, more than 2,800 cities and towns – more than our target of 1,000 cities – in more than 83 countries around the world have pledged to support Earth Hour<br /><br />8. Which Malaysian cities are taking part in Earth Hour 2009?<br />The states of Penang, Sabah, Selangor and Terengganu as well as the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya.<br /><br />9. Which landmark buildings in Malaysia will be participating in Earth Hour 2009 by switching off non-essential lights from 8:30pm to 9:30pm on March 28?<br />Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower, Sunway Pyramid, 1 Utama Shopping Complex, MidValley Shopping Complex, Green Heights Mall, Kuching, Island Plaza, Penang<br /><br />10. How many people took part in Earth Hour last year and the first year?<br />According to a poll conducted by AMR Interactive, the first Earth Hour on Saturday March 31, 2007 saw more than two million Sydney residents and 2,100 Sydney businesses join Earth Hour by flicking the switch, turning appliances off standby and enjoying an hour of darkness.Last year on Saturday March 29, 2008 it is estimated that more than 50 million people took part in Earth Hour around the globe. 18,231 businesses registered their participation in Earth Hour in 2008.<br /></div>11. How many people will take part in Earth Hour 2009?<br />Earth Hour 2009 is aiming to reach 1 billion people in 1,000 cities globally.<br />In Malaysia, we hope that 5 million people will sign up and support Earth Hour 2009. We might not make this target, but we sure are going to try our best to spread the Earth Hour message!<br /><br />12. Why is Earth Hour 2009 targeting 1 billion people?<br />How was that number reached? One billion people is equal to 1/6th of the world’s population; an undeniable show of support for action on climate change to our world’s leaders. That is why we are aiming for such a large number of participants.<br /><br />13. How can I participate or find out more about Earth Hour 2009?<br />Log on to <a href="http://www.earthhour.org/malaysia">www.earthhour.org/malaysia</a>. Sign up and switch off TODAY!<br /><br /><div align="center">******</div><strong>Additional Information</strong><br />During Earth Hour, do I have to turn off everything in my home and use absolutely no electricity?<br />Not at all! The main point of Earth Hour is to show people and companies how easy it is to take action to help reduce the effects of climate change. Earth Hour asks that you consider turning off non-essential lighting.This does not mean you have to turn off your refrigerator, but we do encourage you to join us by switching off your lights and make a statement, as well as changing your habits in the long term. Safety and security lighting should remain on.<br /><br /><div align="left">Isn't switching the lights off dangerous? What about public safety?<br />We are asking people to turn off the non-essential lights for one hour - not lights that affect public safety. We want everyone to enjoy Earth Hour in a safe and energy efficient environment. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">What lights can be safely switched off?<br />That is a decision that has to be made individually but usually the overhead lights in rooms (whether it is your house or a business), outdoor lighting that does not impact safety, computers, decorative lights, neon signs for advertising, televisions, desk lamps, the list goes on and on.There are a few lights we can say with certainty that should NOT be turned off, including street lights, safety lights in public spaces, lights for aviation guidance, traffic lights, security lights, just to name a few. We ask people to use common sense.Before you turn off any lights for public spaces, Earth Hour recommends you check with local officials or community centres. In your own home, use common sense with respect to safety. Keep small night lights on for basic safety especially in halls and on stairs. Make sure you have alternative light sources handy before Earth Hour starts, like torches or flashlights. That way if you need to see, you have a light source close at hand, and you can still respect the spirit of Earth Hour and keep yourself and your family safe.<br /></div><br /><div align="left">Is Earth Hour an annual event?<br />Though Earth Hour is now in its third successive year, it is envisaged and hoped that the climate change landscape will have changed significantly in the immediate future.Therefore, Earth Hour’s lights out campaign will evolve in accordance with the needs of the planet.<br /></div><br /><div align="left">Why is Earth Hour held on March 28?<br />The last weekend of March is around the time of the Spring and Autumn equinoxes in the northern and southern hemispheres respectively, which allows for near coincidental sunset times in both hemispheres, thereby ensuring the greatest visual impact for a global lights out campaign. </div><div align="left"><strong><em>(Source: WWF Malaysia info letter)</em></strong><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/Sc29_6U1uVI/AAAAAAAAAYI/YMT36rgOH8w/s1600-h/180px-Earth-Hour-Logo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318115640680495442" style="WIDTH: 180px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 176px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/Sc29_6U1uVI/AAAAAAAAAYI/YMT36rgOH8w/s200/180px-Earth-Hour-Logo.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><div align="left"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3505725891796113491-3524060146680085913?l=missmathew.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Miss Mathewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06885566760869055849noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505725891796113491.post-35046517808860935112009-03-25T11:06:00.006+08:002009-03-25T12:20:56.353+08:00<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;">A Birthday wishes tag from <a href="http://mouren-havesomecookies.blogspot.com/">MK</a>...</span></strong></div><br /><br />The rules are :-<br />1.

Itz 1.19am, Saturday..& I still cant sleep...must b d coke I drank at Chan's CNY party earlier...oh well...finished 1 round in FB, gmail & yahoomail...can't help myself but to share ths email I got frm Clare... ;) <br /><br /><strong>Karangan Terbaik UPSR 2007</strong> <br /> Pagi itu pagi minggu. Cuaca cukup sejuk sehingga mencapai takat suhu beku. Sebab itu saya tidak mandi pagi sebab air kolah jadi air batu dan air paip tidak mahu keluar sebab beku di dalam batang paip. Pagi itu saya bersarapan dengan keluarga di dalam unggun api kerana tidak tahan sejuk. Selepas itu emak saya mengajak saya menemaninya ke pasar. Tetapi saya tidak mahu.<br /> <br /> Selepas emak menikam perut saya berkali-kali dengan garfu barulah saya bersetuju untuk mengikutnya. Kami berjalan sejauh 120 kilometer kerana pasar itu letaknya 128 kilometer dari rumah. Lagi 8 kilometer nak sampai pasar saya ternampak sebuah lori kontena meluru dengan laju dari arah belakang.<br /> <br /> Dia melanggar emak saya. Emak saya tercampak ke dalam gaung. Dia menjerit “Adoi!”. Lepas itu emak saya naik semula dan mengejar lori tersebut. Saya pun turut berlari di belakang emak saya kerana takut emak saya melanggar lori itu pula. Pemandu lori itu nampak kami mengejarnya. Dia pun memecut lebih laju iaitu sama dengan kelajuan cahaya. Kami pula terpaksa mengejar dengan lebih laju iaitu sama dengan dua kali ganda kelajuan cahaya. Emak saya dapat menerajang tayar depan lori itu. Lori itu terbabas dan melanggar pembahagi jalan lalu bertembung dengan sebuah feri. Feri itu terbelah dua.<br /> <br /> Penumpang feri itu yang seramai 100 orang semuanya mati. Pemandu feri itu sangat marah. Dia pun bertukar menjadi Ultraman dan memfire pemandu lori. Pemandu lori menekan butang khas di dalam lori dia..lori itu bertukar menjadi robot Transformer. Mereka bergaduh di udara. Emak saya tidak puas hati. Dia pun terus menyewa sebuah helikopter di Genting<br />Highlands dan terus ke tempat kemalangan. Dia melanggar pemandu feri yang telah bertukar menjadi Ultraman itu.<br /> <br /> Pemandu feri itu terkejut dan terus bertukar menjadi pemandu feri semula lalu terhempas ke jalanraya. Pemandu feri itu pecah. Pemandu lori sangat takut melihat kejadian itu. Dia meminta maaf dari emak saya. Dia menghulurkan tangan ingin bersalam. Tetapi emak saya masih marah. Dia menyendengkan helikopternya dan mengerat tangan pemandu lori itu dengan kipas helikopter. Pemandu lori itu menjerit “Adoi..!” dan jatuh ke bumi. Emak say menghantar helikopter itu ke Genting Highlands. Bila dia balik ke tempat kejadian, dia terus memukul pemandu lori itu dengan beg tangannya sambil memarahi pemandu lori itu di dalam bahasa Inggeris.<br /> <br /> Pemandu lori itu tidak dapat menjawab sebab emak saya cakap orang putih. Lalu pemandu lori itu mati. Tidak lama kemudian kereta polis pun sampai. Dia membuat lapuran ke ibu pejabatnya tentang kemalangan ngeri itu. Semua anggota polis di pejabat polis itu terperanjat lalu mati. Orang ramai mengerumuni tempat kejadian kerana ingin mengetahui apa yang telah terjadi. Polis yang bertugas cuba menyuraikan orang ramai lalu dia menjerit menggunakan pembesar suara. Orang ramai terperanjat dan semuanya mati.<br /> <br /> Selepas itu emak saya mengajak saya ke pasar untuk mengelak lebih ramai lagi yang akan mati. Di pasar, emak saya menceritakan kejadian itu kepada penjual daging. Penjual daging dan peniaga-peniaga berhampiran yang mendengar cerita itu semuanya terkejut dan mati. Saya dan emak saya terus berlari balik ke rumah. Kerana terlalu penat sebaik saja sampai di rumah kami pun mati. Itulah kemalangan yang paling ngeri yang pernah saya lihat sebelum saya mati.<br /><br /><strong></strong><em></em>* sorry..m too lazy to translate ths to English ;)<br />hmmm...kids nowadays spend too much time in front of the idiot box? perhaps?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3505725891796113491-3187020218375986436?l=missmathew.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Miss Mathewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06885566760869055849noreply@blogger.com48tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505725891796113491.post-78839585466240348782009-01-29T16:32:00.005+08:002009-01-29T17:03:21.742+08:00<div><br /><br /><div align="center"> <a href="http://www.moe.gov.my/tayang.php?laman=senarai_jabatan&amp;unit=kementerian&amp;info=BPPDP&amp;bhs=en&amp;mod=baca">Educational Planning and Policy Research Division </a><br />Aras SB-4, Blok E8, Kompleks Kerajaan Parcel E, Presint 1,</div><div align="center">Pusat Kerajaan Persekutuan</div><div align="center">62604 Putrajaya.</div><div><br />I'm there.

YIPPEE!!!??? I will not answer that...<br /><div align="left">I decided to not go out today, since eldest sis &amp; hubby took the liberty of sending elder sis &amp; family to the airport...YES! No more 3 little monsters;) hehe! </div><div align="center"><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287000862678706290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 128px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SV8zRdsl6HI/AAAAAAAAAKA/neb-gdd92LM/s320/PC140526.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"><em>* the three stooges*</em><br /></p><br /><br /><div align="left">Truth to be told, I'm actually quite tired now...I've been laughing, smiling, crying(d hush2 type) all by myself since morning... No, I'm not goin mad ;) I was actually looking &amp; watching old pictures &amp; videos captured when dad was around... Time really flies! &amp; as in today, I still do not have a resolution list!</div><br /><br />When I was looking at dadz pics, I noticed that from dadz facial expression, he was really content. Seriously! The way he smiles :) makes me smile :) An aunt of mine told me how lucky my dad was to have us as his children...but I knw tht itz d other way round..we were d lucky ones! While I was growing up, most of the time I was jealous of people who would always come to our hse &amp; asked for dadz help, mostly advice &amp; solutions...I always thought that they robbed my quality time to be wth dad ;( Only when I started teaching, I realised why dad sacrificed his time &amp; energy to help those ppl... Those ppl trusted &amp; believed in him... As a teacher, parents &amp; students do come to me for advice &amp; solutions...very challenging indeed...<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286997374852737138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SV8wGciFKHI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/8tw6xYCqw2g/s320/scan0021.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><em>* dad was tryn to teach 9yr old-me how to swim ;) *</em><br /><br /></p><div align="left">I do hope &amp; pray that I, even if itz 1%, will be granted dadz kindness, wisdom &amp; integrity.

Goodbye :) <div><br /><div>1st of January 2009... Hello :)</div><br /><div>With happiness, everything positive shall follow suit.</div><div></div><div>Without failing (as long as I can remember) we've always have ths tradition whr we celebrate the coming of new year every 31st Dec at home...bbq...consuming loadssss of food &amp; drinks...we'd always wait until the final strike of the clock indicating tht the year has ended..&amp; tht dadz a year healthier... 31st Dec 2008 was the same routine...but definitely it wasn't much of a happy occasion...we tried..we really did, but we were not sincerely happy at tht moment...We had cake, a remembrance to dadz bday...I actually went to the exact spot whr dad collapsed on the 28th of June 08...&amp; waited for signs...u knw...was trying my luck..juz in case...No, nothing happened...No, I didn't cry...</div><br /><div>My sibings &amp; I were basically in our own world...I knw we were thinking of the same wish...wishing dadz around, still...<br /></div><div>As early as 7am..all of us woke up &amp; prepared ourselves to visit dad at his grave...YES, 3 hours of sleep = NOT enough ;) nonetheless, we were very excited to visit dad again :)</div><br /><div>Reached at Lampaki Cemetery at about 8 ish am...was already scorching hot! But, once I saw dadz grave, I felt blessed... being thr wth my family to say prayer especially for dad, thtz really meaningful...</div><br /><div>After cleaning &amp; arranging flowers on dadz grave, we lit the candles...&amp; prayed the Rosary...sang dadz fav song... &amp; not forgetting a birthday song for him... Mum cried... I thought I would b able to refrain myself frm crying...was I wrong...i only managed to sing the 1st line of the birthday song...it hurt so much ;( memories of dad kept on flashing on my mind... only bros &amp; d kids were able to finish the whole song...</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286369322782783346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SVz05AP9d3I/AAAAAAAAAJo/D6IpZgTY-Pw/s320/P1010025.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div>Then, right after tht, I received an sms frm my x-student tht read, "... it's time to say goodbye to 2008...welcome 2009...start our new journey, new story of our life...08 is past, but its full of memories, happiness, sadness are all in together...learn frm the past, &amp; do the best in 09...etc..." tht really made me feel better... tq Joshua Yong :)</div><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286369314534141074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p9-hvJewYZk/SVz04hhVLJI/AAAAAAAAAJg/8BHondFycv0/s320/19042008026.jpg" border="0" /> <div align="center">Happy Birthday Dad...
