姐夫去世了，毫无预警地...
当爹传了个信息兼打电话来说:"你姐夫昏迷不醒，现在在医院抢救中，如果30分钟后还救不回来就..."时，我整个人呆住了。
什么叫做30分钟救不回来？？
有这么严重吗？
他不是一向来都壮得像头牛吗（绝对没有贬义的意思)？？
直到一个小时后，再收到坏消息，我的心急了起来，一路忐忑不安加归心似箭的心情从槟城往玻璃市冲去。可是，我却一直没办法消化这个事情，一直在‘这，不是真的’的想法里。
直到我‘风尘仆仆’地赶回了家，去了灵堂，才终于接受了；姐夫，真的走了。
前半段的资讯让我觉得人生苦短，世事难料。
后半段的资讯补充却让我很是气愤，因为...
1) 心脏病征兆都有了，却固执地都不要去看医生。
2) 不好的生活习惯
3) 再怎么说都已经是有家室的人了，不为自己想，也为自己的老迈母亲和妻儿（还是未出生的孩子呢!!） 想想吧!
4) 他父亲也是去世于心脏病。
现在，说再多也没用。
他，好像电脑突然当机一样，就这样‘关机’了。
可是，他却没有一个reset button可以‘重生’。
每次一看到大姐大腹便便招待客人的背影，看到他母亲因为悲痛过度而虚弱无力地躺在躺椅上，不仅心酸了起来。
甚至跟妹达成一个共识，就是我们会哭不是因为姐夫没了，而是因为我们心疼我们的大姐，心疼未出生的小外甥...
正所谓，生命没有take two。 不要以为自己会很长命，固执是没办法跟阎罗王延长寿命的... 你死了就算了，可是活着的人却痛不欲生啊~

Appreciate Life, Please...
My brother in law passed away on 29th Feb, last Wednesday.
The news shocks us all, everyone, family and friends.
I received dad’s SMS at around 8.30pm when I was having my dinner in Juru Autocity that my BIL collapsed into coma and was admitted to the Emergency ward. I went blank, unable to digest the news, quickly called dad, and the more shocking details stunned me. Dad said:”the doctors are trying their best, but if they couldn’t revive him in 30 minutes, he’ll … … …”
Stupefied, I quickly informed Lim Tino about the news, and even astonished to learn that Da Jie was in KL at the time, and that they’d meet each other in the airport to catch the latest plane back.
In total astonishment, I quickly finished my meal and drove back to Perlis, where at this time I received another SMS from dad that my BIL was gone. I stopped by Alor Star to buy the earliest ticket for the next day, where I had a very bad experience with the Shamisha bus.
The moment I reached KB, I started to gather as many information as possible about his passing. The cause of death is heart attack; He passed out in his shop, sent to the hospital by his BIL; everyone was trying to revive him; his mother was in KL as well…
However, the other side of stories frustrated me. He showed signs and symptoms of heart problem for quite sometimes, eg fatigue, chest pain, numbness etc, and even complained about it once in a while, but he was too stubborn to listen to his mother and wife to go see a doctor.
There’s a saying as well that God has given him a chance on that day as when he was rushed to the hospital, the usually jammed up roads were all clear, the numerous traffic lights were all turned green, and doctors and even cardiac specialists were there to help save his life, but he couldn’t pass the critical test there and then.
Stubbornness, lack of medical knowledge, and I-think-I-can-live-longer kind of thinking has not only cost his life, it burdens the living people too.
Frankly, throughout the funeral, me and tino reached a common conclusion that the reason we cried wasn’t because of his passing, but we felt so sorry, pity and sad for our sister and her baby. They were only married last September, and she’s expecting her baby in June, just a few months away. For this, I was angry and resented my BIL for not appreciate not only his life, but his family.
His mother was devastated and was in total breakdown. Mom later told us a statement and experience from her colleague that the pain between losing a husband and losing a child is different, where the latter is much much more heartache than the former.
What I can say is, appreciate your life and don't take your life for granted. It's sad that you're gone, but it's sadder for those living ones.

The Chronicle of M&M - Progress
1) Nap place
With the size of cage of 130cm x 50cm + 50cm x 50cm, they can simply sleep wherever they like. These are basically where they love to sleep most of the time:
i. toilet mat tunnel
I rolled up an unused toilet mat to make a tunnel, and put it in the cage for them to play. Literally, they find it a very nice place to nap and hide, as if I can't see them huh...
ii. Toilet-cum-nap-place
This initially-to-be toilet has 'malfunctioned', as they don't understand the purpose of it from the beginning til now, yet, they love to nap there, especially since I put a stone in it to hold a cloth in place. The sweetest thing is when they sleep with eyes closed :) (FYI, GPs are very intimate and cautious animals, they hardly nap/sleep with eyes closed)
Anyway, some of the time they can sense an annoying camera lens pointing at them, again and again, so...
^What WHAT??? What are you looking at????
iii. Food bowl
Their food bowls are made of ceramics, so it functions as a 'cooling pad' for them during the hot times. Sometimes, they can be spotted sleeping in the larger food bowl, regardless the existence of food in it, dry or wet etc. I mean, they do pee in the bowl, but they would still like to sleep in it.
iv. Cloth tunnel
Lil Moz 林小毛 loves cloth tunnels to the max. He's the one I spotted always crawling in and out of cloth tunnel, and stay still in it. Now that his size has increased, it's a little difficult to move around in the cloth but he still likes it.
^很爽hor?
^Stupid cutie Moz, 你以为你酱我就看不到你吗？
The fun part is when Moz crawls inside the tunnel, it's like a huge worm wiggling! LoL
2) Hide place
I have replaced all the closed hiding place like a huge cardboard or tunnel to those hollow ones, so that I can still peep on them when they think they can hide from my hawk eyes. LOL. Besides that, since their size has increased, I try to reduce more 'obstacles' as possible so that they can have more space to run about.
Moz is still the cutest when it comes to hiding/hide place. Recently I hang some cloths around the cage for them to hide behind it, and see how it goes, and lil Moz do the darndest and cutest thing.
^First experiment
He literally walked through/underneath the cloth for few rounds, and the last round he would push the cloth slightly with his nose, and when his nose touches the edge of the cloth, he would just sit there, very very still, as if I cannot see him! CUTE NOT?? :D I laughed until nearly exploded when I took this pictures of him, while he sat still in that location for a long, long time.
^Taken during CNY, at KB.
^Spooooooky...
3) Prison break
Yes, these two smart ass furbrats know how to prison break already.
There's one empty space in their cage that is not closed due to miscalculation and stuff. Friends suggested the space to be closed, but at that time both of them were still very intimate and shy, they won't even get out of their hide house, much less escape?!
...until few weeks back, when I was watching movie on my laptop, I suddenly spotted something moving at my side, and I saw lil Mannie 林小满 exploring around the room!
It was Mannie alone in the first few days who dare enough to get out, but when he brought his bro out, and they started to pee and poo whenever they like, it's detention time.
^Ready.... get set.... OUT!
However, lil Mannie is proven a smart ass GP of a PhD student (LoL). I tried to restrict their access around the room with a plastic fence, but when I came back home, I found the fence was breached! Then experiment started to see how did they prison break that...
^See see!!
This smart ass dude knows where to search for the 'weak point' of the fence, which is the connection part, then he would push the fence until there's a space for him to escape!
Fortunately, I still outsmart him no matter what! Anyway, since they have the gut to come out, I encourage them once in a while for some extra floor time.
4) Makan corner
Every morning, when I struggle between getting up and lying down, somebody sense my movements...
^ INI BUDAK!!
YES, they would 'spy' at my bed's direction, running in and out of the dining corner, and look up to see if I prepare their food!
Nowadays, they already know the time to eat, so when it's morning and I start moving, they start wheeking for food; when it's evening and I come back from Uni, they start wheeking for food; when they hear someone open fridge door, they start wheeking; when I stand up from my chair, they start wheeking...
Smart ass dudes...
^吃到满脸都是了!!
It's hard to find their staple food, hay, and pellets on this smallest state in Malaysia. So I have no other option than to purchase them online.
^New food for them
Since pellets are only 20% of their daily diet (thank goodness!), these few packets can last for at least 2 months.
5) Others...
As they grow bigger, their 'man part' tends to grow bigger too, and it's like basically drag on the ground when they walk. So officially, it's the time for them to mate.
However, although both of them are males (and I won't get a female because I do not want them to breed), they will climb on each other and ... you know;
^nuh...
BUT it's not the real thing though. They would just climb up, stay there for few seconds and then come back down. Weird is that whoever is at the bottom, he will not frustrated or unhappy or irritated etc, except some moments when the climber will be 'scolded'.
Anyway, still no female and no breeding for me. I simply can't afford the time, money and space.
(P/S: please don't tell me "why don't you get a female? Don't want baby? Can give/sell to me ah!!" Sorry mate, cuteness is not the only reason I keep them, and it involves a whole LOT of responsibilities!!)
^Flooring + cage cleaning time
Once in a while, when the thorough cage cleaning and mandi time are scheduled,they would be put in the living room for a while and hanging out. They don't seem to be comfortable during these time, but, what the heck~ It's for your sake too! :p

V Day is so overrated~
...says the gal who is single for almost 3 years.
It's just another weekday in Perlis. We still went to lab, ate, chit chat etc etc, as normal as any other day can be.
We did have some simple V Day celebration before the yoga class. Theresa declared a V Day theme for the yoga, everyone wearing red/pink outfit to her class, photo taking sessions, and cupcake makan time! :)
^Group pictah before class!
^The sweeties Theresa - instructor and great bff!
^LOL You know me, I do stuffs like that :)

Movie I Watched
1. My Sister's Keeper (2009)
Conclusion: I got sadding :(
This movie has been in my HDD for, hmm, two years? And I have yet to watch it until last weekend when the 'movie mood' came.
The part when the doctor (it's Bones!!) announced to Kate's parents that Kate has leukemia, precisely Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia, I automatically murmured "M3", and stunted then LOL after few seconds for the 职业病 - 'profession side effect'(?).
I cried so hard during the court scene, as at the beginning I really thought Anna was the one who wants to sue their parents. I can't understand the feeling thoroughly of having a close family diagnosed cancer; I mean, the closest relative of mine who was diagnosed cancer is my aunt, but I wasn't around that much when she underwent series of chemo and the suffering time, but thank goodness she's all well now.
The part where the aunties and uncles of Kate's giving advice of 'positive thinking' and stuff irks me, especially when in the beginning Anna narrated that their relatives weren't close to each other. I know 他们是好意, but sometimes shut up is the best way.
Last word: I hope everyone is well!!
FYI: APL or APML or M3 is one of the subtypes in the Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The characteristic of its leukemic cells is that it has a large and very toxic thingy (it is called granules) in the cell which once it bursts and the toxic thingy enters the system, it can be very harmful and even fatal to the patient. However, despite the seriousness, APL has the highest survival rate among other subtypes if treatment is given in the earlier phase.
2. Best of Times (Thailand, 2009)
If you know me very well, you'll know that I love that dog the most in the movie! :p
It's a movie about memories: remember, forget, hold on, let go, etc etc... The flow of the movie is slow and tranquil, especially when it comes to the story of the older couple, Jamrat and Sampit.
I have no absolute idea at all of how to write a review about this movie, you can check this out :) Anyway, this movie is NICE!

CNY 2012
Pre CNY:
1) Had my haircut at a self-operated saloon in Kuala Perlis, decided not to do hair dye at the shop, instead a DIY hair dye kat rumah~ This should be the second time I DIY-ed hair dye, and I chose...
^Liese 泡泡染发剂 aka Liese Bubble Hair Color
Wanted to take the pink-ish color range like Cassie Berry but it wasn't available at that particular Guardian and was too lazy to look for it at another place, so picked up the Sweet Apricot color since my hair is kinda dark-ish and a bright color might stand out more easily.
I was very cautious about doing this and kiasu-ly reading the instructions over and over again. Anyway, it wasn't that easy as I thought yet not too hard either, just that I didn't know how to properly lather the bubbles on my hair.
^Waiting 30 mins...
^Work done!
Can't really see the color there but according to Tino, 'it's not black' =___= The chemical smell of the product is quite heavy, still can smell it after 2-3 days. Thankfully as time goes by, the smell reduces and the color appears to be more vibrant.
2) I want to talk about the only dog in the house right now, Lucky the 史上最蠢. We used to have 2-3 dogs before, but they either kena tembak or kena langgar, so left him alone in the house, and we never really expect him to be.... erm... 'mentally challenged'? LoL
He's not actually retarded, but we don't understand his way of thinking. Minus the door opening story as I tend to make a story very very long, let's tell this story instead - about Lucky and his neverending love story with water.
Tino gave both the dog - her dog White2 + Lucky a bath. Most dogs tend to hate bath, but this Lucky dog otherwise. He sat still while Tino brush his back and seems to enjoy it. When it's time to let them dry, look at the picture below...
^see, he prefers to sleep on the puddle rather than the dry area
...and he was not moving from the spot for like 30 mins until us laughing at him from inside the house.
OH yes! By the way, he and his deceased sister Happy is/was not afraid of firecrackers at all! It's like the first time we ever see that kind of dogs ever. (When the neighbor was setting off the annoying red long firecrackers, he would just sit near the gate looking out, and wondering why we were amazed of him looking at the firecrackers)
3) Pre CNY reunion dinners at two places on two nights: Payang Serai and EYE Seafood Restaurant.
CNY Day 1: Busy day. Steamboat at our place as usual but it's the first time ever that our family has only two girls instead of four (Da Jie is married, Er Jie is 'stuck' in NZ so she couldn't come back). As quoted by mom, "we are not incapable, it's lazy"
Running in and out of the house, checking this and that, greeting here and there, receiving Ang Pows etc... Busy busy day.
CNY Day 2: SICK!!! I woke up in the morning feeling all uncomfortable, hot, dizzy and a terrible sore throat. Tino kept teasing me about not taking the medicine the night before when I blamed the VSOP we drank on the first day since she's all good and she drank more than I did. Dragged myself to have breakfast with dad and Tino, and slept through the second day of CNY thanks to the headache and fever.
CNY Day 3: Feeling much better, but the sore throat just wouldn't go away. Went to Min Shin's place to give my little god son his pillow, then to Kampung Cina and Pasir Pekan to visit my grand-aunt and grand-uncle. A gathering at First Station with the girls, then another one at Pheng's house before she flies back to reality and Shin Yee's place.
CNY Day 4: Went to Min Shin's place again to grab a bite of her grandmother's 菜尾 (which I do every year). Had a first hand experience of Mahjong but I gave up after one round due to lack of confidence and shaky hands from the still-there sickness.
CNY Day 5: Another yamcha gathering at Oriental Kopitiam, this time for Shien's sake LoL. And also Qian Yi etc since most of us will be leaving KB soon. Had dinner at The Ritz Restaurant, Bro-in-law's treat. Wanted to have crabs but dad refused, promised for a crab dinner the next day. Curry fish head was nice, luckily the sickness didn't take away the taste bud.
CNY Day 6: Had dinner at EYE Seafood Restaurant. Crab habis!! Dad worried that I was gonna be so disappointed so he wanted to order belut for me, but since belut is not really everyone's liking besides me and Da Jie, I willingly said no and we had other food.
CNY Day 7: Back to the reality!! On the way back, I dreamed about my grandmother choked of food and it woke me up!
P/S: Last night I dreamed about me having a baby with one guy (which I don't know and I forgot the face now anyway), and a guy friend came up to me and said:"I actually like you for a long time, but since you have a baby with other guy, I'm not sure what to do." LoL?

I'm Home!!
I drove back to Kota Bharu last Thursday with two friends and two furbrats. The weather was OK, some raining on the hilly roads, traffic was amazingly smooth!
Anyway, I've met few frustrated situations too:
1) I hate the 'braker'. Those who drive at 70-80 km/h and brake HARD every 5 seconds on all the loops and holes on the damaged road. Mek, if you want to do so, might as well you just drive at 50 km/h, give your brake disc a break lah~
2) There's a road block somewhere near Jeli. The police officer stopped me and asked a list of sounds-really-stoopid questions. Here's our conversation:
Police: Hi. Where are you going?
Nee: Kota Bharu.
P: Why?
N: ... Balik kampung.
P: Oh!? Kota Bharu is your hometown?!
..:I already rolled my eyes thoroughly on him at this point:..
P: *pointed at my friends* They are....?
N: Friends. We carpooled.
P: Oh!? Malay and Chinese can be friends huh?!
(Note that my friends are those wearing tuduh labuh kind of decent Malay girls)
Friend: Why not!? We are 1Malaysia what...
..:At this point, all of us rolled our eyes on him, and he let us passed:..
Seriously, what is wrong with them? He maybe tried to be friendly and all, but it sounds so freaking wrong. It also made him looked d*mb.
