The Past Week
It seemed like any other ordinary week. But on Wednesday at around 6.16pm, Malaysian time, I felt my chair rocking while in the office. I simply thought that somebody was playing the fool and playing with my chair. When I turned to look behind, there was no one in sight except thin air. I ignored it the first time. Then it happened again. I was sure that something was not right. Then my boss asked, did anyone feel the building move? I replied, yes. It was quite weird because I had never felt any tremour in the 2X years of my life. Anyhow, it was an experience not to be forgoten. It was already time for me to go home. I went down and saw a large crowd gathered in the open area. There was also a fire engine on standby. I asked to a few onlookers, what's happening, and they replied that people had felt that the building was moving. I wasn't surprised. Slowly making my way to Sunway Pyramid.
I had recently applied for Maxis broadband, thus I will be able to post more frequently on my blog as well as check out recent updates on Facebook from my small little room.
Muthu and friends...

The cockroach walked. Then he cut off it's second leg and told the same. The cockroach walked.
Then he cut off the third leg and did the same.
Finally, he cut off its fourth leg and ordered it walk!
But the cockroach didn't walk.
Suddenly, Muthu said loudly, 'I found it. If we cut a cockroach's four legs, it becomes deaf.'

The Mayonnaise Jar
When things in your life seem, Almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class
And had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
And proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students, If the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and pouredthem intothe jar.
He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.
He then asked The students again
If the jar was full..
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand
And poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded
With an unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced Two cups of coffee from under the table
And poured the entire contents Into the jar, effectively
Filling the Empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor, As the laughter subsided,'
I want you to recognize that This jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - God, family,children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions – Things that if everything else was lost
And only they remained, Your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter
Like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else --The small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued,
'there is no room for The pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time And energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for The things that are
Important to you.
So...
Pay attention to the things That are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
There will always be time
To clean the house and fix the disposal.
'Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand
And inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled.'I'm glad you asked'.
It just goes
to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,there's always room for A couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'
Please share this with other "Golf Balls" I just did......
Getting Heavy
I went jogging on Saturday. Wasn't preparing for a marathon, but managed to get around 10km under my belt. I wouldn't say that it wasn't a good start, but I hope I can retain that kind of enthusiasm and energy for the weeks and months to come. The reason being, I'm putting on a bit too much weight and can't find time to go for exercise. Well, the park wasn't a dull place, even with the H1N1 ordeal, there were still many out there going for exercise and staying in shape. I wish to bring my weight down to around 75kg from the current 95kg. Let's see how long it takes.
Exercise isn't the only factor, especially when you're eating out most of the time, you tend to slip into that yummy food environment, and it takes you where you aren't supposed to be. Haha. I've got to watch that too. Well 10km for a start is quite a good begining. Let's see how far I go with this begining.

Write Up of H1N1 Flu (From Wikipedia)
For the 1918 pandemic of Influenza A(H1N1), see 1918 flu pandemic.
For the current pandemic of Influenza A(H1N1), see 2009 flu pandemic.
Influenza
Influenza A(H1N1) virus is a subtype of influenzavirus A and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of H1N1 are endemic in humans and cause a small fraction of all influenza-like illness and a large fraction of all seasonal influenza. H1N1 strains caused roughly half of all human flu infections in 2006.[1] Other strains of H1N1 are endemic in pigs (swine influenza) and in birds (avian influenza).
In June 2009, World Health Organization declared that flu due to a new strain of swine-origin H1N1 was responsible for the 2009 flu pandemic. This strain is commonly called "swine flu" by the public media.
Influenza A virus strains are categorized according to two proteins found on the surface of the virus: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). All influenza A viruses contain hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, but the structures of these proteins differ from strain to strain, due to rapid genetic mutation in the viral genome.
Influenza A virus strains are assigned an H number and an N number based on which forms of these two proteins the strain contains. There are 16 H and 9 N subtypes known in birds, but only H 1, 2 and 3, and N 1 and 2 are commonly found in humans.[3]

The various types of influenza viruses in humans. Solid squares show the appearance of a new strain, causing recurring influenza pandemics. Broken lines indicate uncertain strain identifications.[2]

In the 2009 flu pandemic, the virus isolated from patients in the United States was found to be made up of genetic elements from four different flu viruses – North American Mexican influenza, North American avian influenza, human influenza, and swine influenza virus typically found in Asia and Europe – "an unusually mongrelised mix of genetic sequences."[13] This new strain appears to be a result of reassortment of human influenza and swine influenza viruses, in all four different strains of subtype H1N1.
Preliminary genetic characterization found that the hemagglutinin (HA) gene was similar to that of swine flu viruses present in U.S. pigs since 1999, but the neuraminidase (NA) and matrix protein (M) genes resembled versions present in European swine flu isolates. The six genes from American swine flu are themselves mixtures of swine flu, bird flu, and human flu viruses.[14] While viruses with this genetic makeup had not previously been found to be circulating in humans or pigs, there is no formal national surveillance system to determine what viruses are circulating in pigs in the U.S.[15]
On June 11, 2009, the WHO declared an H1N1 pandemic, moving the alert level to phase 6, marking the first global pandemic since the 1968 Hong Kong flu.[16]

Mother's Day - 10th May 2009

Mother's day was celebrated today. Well, we had a very appropriate church service and had visited the graves. There were many graves that were cleaned up and beautified with bouquets of flowers. Its's a good sign. Apart from that, its a day to remember how much our mothers actually mean to us and to remind mothers that they are not left out of the picture and will always be cherrished. Again, to all mothers out there, Happy Mother's Day!.
