Orchids

If you are into orchids, as I am, head down to No.33 Jalan Pasai 1 on Wednesdays, and you will be able to purchase orchids that had just arrived from Thailand. Reasonably priced, compared to buying from the tamu.

Fly away...

Just when I thought I was on the way to full recovery, I had a major setback. Since Monday 17th Sept, I was back to square one. The pain this time is even worse then before and I tried to not think of it by going on with my daily life... it didn't help. I'm now on medical leave again till 28th September. Everyday I wake up hoping the pain will fly away.

This photo was taken during an outing with Meo in the parking lot of Panaga Club in Seria.

Green Heart of Borneo

I attended this ceremony on behalf of my Head of Department and as a participant. I did not expect to win anything when I saw the photos submitted for the competition...but I was most disappointed that both my photos were not displayed in the exhibition at all. (After making inquiries, I was later informed that the printer were not able to open the folders containing my photos and therefore not able to reprint them. I'm lost for words!)

Airbiscuit, I saw your giant ant and it was smiling at me!

Floats - Anduki Festival

so near yet so far

Alhamdulillah, I'm on my way to recovery. Most of the pain has gone but from experience it will take another 3 to 4 weeks before I will fully recover. Thanks everyone for your well wishes. Any outings? Let me know. I'll try to join if I can.

hanged like a chicken

Cute photo right? The bird I mean.

But the one below may not be to your liking.
I was diagnosed as suffering from cervical spondylosis in 2003. (If you're curious what it means, just click on the words.) For about a month I was in pain, sometimes intermittently and sometimes constantly. After about a year I had the first relapse in Jun/July 2004.

About two weeks ago, I had the symptom again and since last Monday was in constant pain in my left arm and behind my head. Most of the time I couldn't sleep and even the painkiller doesn't really help. Had my x-ray done yesterday which showed that the space between the 5th and 6th vertebrae of my neck of the left side had reduced and trapped/irritated the nerve. Had my first appointment with the specialist today and given a few days off work. Undergone physio where traction was applied (I called this "hanged like a chicken" as you can see from the photo) as this had helped previously to relieve the pain. So if you see my website not updated for a while, don't worry. I'm taking my rest.

Blue-eyed friend

Let me introduce you to my blue-eyed friend who can be found in my garden and in this case on the steps of my front door. I did not realise it had blue eyes until I took these photos.
