2020 remains as a dream

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

2 weeks of holidays at home in KL is
over. Lazying, doing nothing for 2 weeks was therapeutic. There was
time for reflection.

I have been overseas for many years
now. KL is developing at a scary rate. So many new highways and
flyovers, I nearly lost my way in my own backyard. Unfortunately, the
near first world infrastructure is still being abused by Malaysians
with 3rd world mentality. Illegal parking, aggressive
driving, lawlessness on the road.

KLIA  has a pickup zone with 3 lanes,
however, illegal parking along the pickup zone cause the traffic to
stand still at times. The traffic police were seen smoking nearby,
but no action were taken against those cars illegally parked. Such a
contrast to airport in first world countries.

The day I fly out from KLIA, I arrived
more than 2 hours before departure time. There were 2 long queues at
MAS check in counters. It took me more than an hour to check in, even
though KLIA is no where near it’s maximum capacity. I wonder if it is
inefficiency or poor management? Can’t remember queuing up that long
in Heathrow.

By election in Ijok, politicians are
still harping on same old issues. Journalists interviewing the
politicians are far from being critical, or are they just being
“berbudi bahasa”?

Back under the blue sky in Sydney, life
is so much more simple when you are an outsider…

Slightly disapointed with myself :( for being just 20% naturally smart… look like I have been working too hard…

Thanks  Yee Pei’s, for introducing this to me. Your Blog capture the life is Belfast…

good combination of your own knowledge and experience, along with
having learned through instruction - and you are equally as good with
theoretical things as you are with real-world, applied things. You have
a well-rounded brain.

Hair is growing

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Final count AUD$2150. Thank you for
your generosity.

Just an update about my hair… my hair
is growling really fast, it is about 1cm now. It is an interesting
experience shaving off my hair. Right after shaving, I could feel the
breeze on my scalp, damn cold… Really pity those bald guys out
there, now I understand why people wear hat in the winter.

The next day, walking out in the sun,
Australian sun is really burning… And my virgin scalp nearly burn
after 3 mins in the sun. Got a hat for myself…

Now with the hair spiking, I have loss
count the number of nurses patting my head… I hope it will not end
up as a source of cross contamination of MRSA.

Few days ago, had to resuscitate a
newborn baby  on the resuscitair with the overhead heating (heating
is to keep the baby warm.) For the first time, I actually feel the
heat :P  My scalp was burning without the protection of my hair.

All in all, it was a good experience…
