iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation Thursday, September 28, 2006



Good things come in small packages and its sheer size 1.07 " x 1.62 " x 0.41 " (incl. clip) and weight at a meagre 0.55 ounce says it all. The flash drive capacity is 1GB despite its miniaturization. Technological advancement is driving me nuts .... my "hit list" gonna expands ... he.he..

So Little Time, Yet So Much To Do ....

I was quite busy this week with so many preparations to make for next week workshop ... finally a breather which is very welcoming indeed. So much with trying hard to prepare for next year major activities and it's all about getting the key team members with different backgrounds and disciplines to ensure every aspects, risks and opportunities are mapped and considered on "paper", hence the term "implementation projects on paper". But the good thing stemming from such exercise is probably teamworking. The team decides so at the end of the day the team gets the credit or the blame. However time will tell if those implementations on paper will be realised as a reality ...he..he.. challenges for next year are already looming and we're only just approaching end of Sep. duh ...

Sg Basong Recreational Park, Tutong Monday, September 18, 2006





















I think perhaps this is the least frequented spot in my "must visit wish list" and it was only earlier this year that I finally got the real opportunity to be there .... maiden one so to speak. Nice spot really and if you can make out the fine thread like path on the satellite image, that's the route for a short hike which is very conducive for any family. I mean it's less treacherous and a manageable feat for smaller kids so all can enjoy those nice views along the trail.

The experience is more worthwhile considering that we did the cookings there as well .... freshly cooked lunch coupled with "ambuyat" just summed up our field day .... it reinforced further my belief that there's definitely life out there.

Medical Treatment for Endometriosis Tuesday, September 12, 2006

After my wife's endometriosis surgery, she got to be post treated with Zoladex injection to reduce its recurrence which will be administered in 4 weeks intervals with maximum duration of 6 months. A single injection costs more than B$ 600 which is very costly indeed. So it beats me wondering those people who complain a lot with our "free" medical service.

A friend of mine who at one time got his kid hospitalised in Phillipines got charged more than B$ 200 for a few nights stay and that was just a minor illness. So think about it ... are we not so damned lucky being a Bruneian after all ... maybe some people just never get to look at the real picture .... emmm ....

My penchant for pixs which particularly document portraits of people at work in diverse cultures around the globe.

Ovarian Cysts and Appendic Monday, September 04, 2006

















Above pix is the my spouse's right ovary plus mangled bits and pieces of the cysts post operation. Since skimming the cysts off the ovary was not possible, then the only option is to remove the whole ovary. But at the same time we've considered removing the appendic which may be a potential problem in the future. Well that was after learning from others who had similar experience. In fact the appendic is already bloated (below pix) so the good thing is that this single surgery remedied both complications at the same time. Anybody doing ovarian cysts operation may opt as well to remove the appendic and save from doing double surgeries when it can be done at one go .... don't tell us that surgery ain't painful .... but we're here to pass on the learnings that we've learnt from others .... may be useful you may not know when it will happen.















p/s - pixs quality is very dissapointing ... blame it on my crappy phone camera.
