20 July 2009: In the early morning of about 2am today, i felt very cold. I measured my body temperature, it had a reading of 38.6C. I also had sore throat, stuffy nose, cough and chill. Does that mean I have contacted the H1N1 virus?
Sought help from general practitioner yesterday. He said it's just normal seasonal flu since I have no close contact with suspected or confirmed H1N1 case. Furthermore, I have no recent travel history.
The practitioner just prescribed me a bottle of cough medicine, some lozenges and medicine for fever. I have felt a bit better since yesterday after i took some medicines. However, i still feel weak and fatigue.
I measured my body temperature just now. It has a reading of 38.0C. I wonder if i shall consult doctor at polyclinic. It may be seasonal flu, and maybe not.
Now, my throat is still sore and dried. Still cough a little bit with flame in it. Hopefully it is just seasonal flu.

A life as a commuter of public transport in Singapore
Wouldn't be weird when you once drove a nice car, and one day, you have to take public transport, in Singapore? It is like coming from Heaven to Hell. To be exact, enjoying the pleasure and comfort of driving becomes impossible and you have to take the bloody awful public transport.
It is always a luxury to drive in Singapore although it is not necessary as Singapore has one of the best public transit system in the world. But, what about the commuters that engage the service?
Singapore has indeed a very well organized public transport. I am a guy from a small and remote village from Malaysia. When I came here few years ago to study, the public transport in Singapore blew me away because it is convenient and comfortable.
However, my traveling trip recently was very bad.
6 July: Taking bus 109 to Changi Village for seafood. But 2 Malay kids irritated me they as behaved like monkeys by tapping their shoes loudly on the floor. When they were being told off by other commuters, they cried at the back and screamed "Mommy, somebody scold me...", while in fact, their parents were not even with them at all.
6 July: Taking bus 109 back to Pasir Ris after having dinner. A group of PRC guys spoke and laughed loudly in the bus
6 July: 3 Malay guys with fishing gears occupied 6 seats using their fishing gears. There were many passengers at that time, though, there were no passengers deemed to be in need to sit down.
11 July: Two aunties were gossiping about anything in bus service 10, from Ampang Yong Tau Fu, to sissy guys.
12 July: A group of thugs were making lots hell of noise at the back of bus 81. They were talking loudly, speaking vulgarities and screaming. When other passengers turned back their heads to stare at them, they pretended like nothing happened. Shame on them.

Swine Flu Shows Resistance to Tamiflu
"More bad swine flu news came Monday from Swiss drug manufacturer Roche, which confirmed that the virus showed resistance to the anti-viral drug Tamiflu in a patient in Denmark. However, company officials said this was not surprising, since the seasonal flu virus also shows resistance to the drug in a small percentage of patients."
-Quoted from Examiner.com
"Roche Holding AG said a swine flu patient treated with its Tamiflu drug in Denmark showed resistance to the antiviral medicine for the first time."
"Tamiflu studies show that 0.4 percent of adults and 4 percent of children with seasonal influenza develop resistance, according to Reddy."
- Bloomberg

This will affect mankind seriously, if it affects significant number of human, until new anti-swine flu drug is developed successfully...

旗鱼海鲜村 (Swordfish Seafood Restaurant)
I went to 旗鱼海鲜村 (Swordfish Seafood Restaurant in Johor Bahru) with my family on this Father's Day to celebrate the festive. When we reached the restaurant, it was jam-packed.
To get to the restaurant from the car park, we need to cross a bridge as the restaurant is built on the water. When we crossed the bridge, I heard something from behind...
It was a conversation between a mother and her kids.
Kid #1: "Water so dirty, ler"
Kid #2: "Ya lor, very dirty, not like Singapore water..."
Kid #1: "Will the bridge collapse, huh?"
Kid #2: "Ya i think so..."
Mum: "Stop talking so much and walk faster, the restaurant got so many people, don't walk faster then how can we get seats..."
Then they tried to walk past people in front of them...
From this moment, i knew they are Singaporeans... why? It is because Singaporeans are well-known for their KiaSu attitude (afraid-to-lose attitude). Anyway, I was amused too when i overheard that the kids scared that the bridge would collapse...
Now let's talk about this restaurant.
First at all, no waiter or waitress at the entrance, we have to find a table for ourselves.
Second, we waited for almost 20 minutes for the captain to take our order despite our very-best effort to call for a captain.
Thirdly, the captain does not take order for drinks. She said the waitress that took the order for drinks would come soon. But we waited for another 20 minutes.
Fourthly, the waitress finally came to take our order for drinks.
Then, it did not take long for the drinks to be served.
After that, we almost waited another hour for the dishes to be served.
Now let's talk about the food.
We ordered Lemon Chicken, Drunken Prawn, Steam Fish, a vegetables which is unknown by me, and Fried Mussel.
The Mussel was served first. Hmmm.. It is very, very delicious, I like it very much, so are my family.
Then, when we just finished the Mussel, the rice hadn't come. We tried very hard to call for a waitress or waiter just to get the rice served.
Well, we waited 10 minutes for the rice to be served, and the portion was so tiny, like feeding pigeon. "Best" of all, it was cold. We all agreed on this that it's tiny and cold.
Then, the Lemon Chicken was served. Well, I was very sure that it was Plum Chicken, as i tasted Plum in the gravy. It did not bother me much so i just tucked in and ate. However, this dish is cold too.
Drunken prawn and veggie were pretty delicious and tasty.
But, the fish, well, it's like they "re-cycle" fishes that other customers haven't finished. I saw bones scattered on the plate and it's like somebody ate the fish and very little thing left for us to eat.
The whole dine-out is a disaster and we swear we will never go back again.
By the way, my father commented that i became a complaint-king after 3 years of studying in Singapore as i said that i had to write about this experience on my blog, which i have already done.

Kris Allen- No Boundaries
Kris Allen - No Boundaries lyrics
Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want, but how long can you wait?
Every moment last forever.
When you feel you've lost your way.
What if my chances were already gone?
I started believing that I could be wrong.
But you give me one good reason.
To fight and never walk away.
So here I am, still holding on
With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing.
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries.
There are no boundaries.
I fought to the limit, to stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets?
Don't know where the future's heading
But nothing's gonna bring me down
I've jumped every bridge and I've run every line
I risked being safe but I always knew why
I always knew why
So here I am, still holding on
With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
You can go higher, you can go deeper
There are no boundaries above and beneath you
Break every rule 'cause there's nothing between you
And your dreams
With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
Yeah, there are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
There are no boundaries.
There are no boundaries.
There are no boundaries.
Lyrics | Kris Allen lyrics - No Boundaries lyrics
I love this song! Allen has done a very good job!
I am totally in love with this song!

Changeling
Mrs. Collins (Angelina Jolie) told her story clearly, stating that from the first
she was convinced the boy was not her missing son. A firm directed by CLINT EASTWOOD.
She was subjected to an exhaustive examination by President Schweitzer, who wound up asking her what happened shortly before she was taken to the County Hospital.
I was requested to appear before Captain Jones, she said. In the presence of several others, he said: What are you trying to do, make a lot of fools out of us all? Are you trying to shirk your duty as a mother and have the State provide for your son? You are just a fool.
That's rubbish to see Captain Jones making up so much lies just to cover up the truth. I really like this firm as it allows me to see the bad guys being punished.

American Idol 8th Season Final Results: Spoiler
Kris Allen is the official winner of American Idol 8. I always thought that Adam Lambert or Danny Gokey would win this raw-talent-searching competition. I was really surprised, perhaps in a more appropriate way-shocked, to see him crowned as the winner of American Idol 8.
His past performances such as "Ain't no sunshine anymore" and Kanye West's "Heartless" really out-shined other contestants. He converts the originals into his own versions and that is why he deserves to win.
