hey guys,
Thought i'd use this opportunity to create an awareness on child labour.
Wikipedia defines it as 'the employment of children under an age determined by law or custom. This practice is considered exploitative by many countries and international organizations.'...
apparently, child labour dated back to the 17th century, hence the book Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens.
Was doing some research and never thought this would ever happen to Malaysian kids. How wrong was i when i stumbled upon this video....

Hope you have a strong stomach before you watch this.

get well soon..
hey,
hope everyone had a good weekend. Visited an aunt at a hospital today.. she had a stroke last week..
Felt very sad when i saw her just lying there, helpless. As i recall, this is the second time i've seen her in that state. She had a tumor removed from her skull some years back (probably about 10 years ago). Ever since then, she wasn't really the same. she can't really remember things nowadays. everytime she sees me, she'll ask 'who are you?'.. or 'are you married?'.. we do laugh whenever she does that, but i feel extremely sad knowing that she actually can't remember me.. come to think of it, i can't really recall a time when she actually had her full memory..
well, about 4 days ago while traveling with her husband in Madinah (look it up), she had a stroke.. they arrived back in kl and was immediately taken to hospital. doctor diagnosed her as having a stroke and she's now in 'recovery' mode. As of now, she can only slightly move her left hand and leg.. Her right side is slowly coming back, but it definitely requires long sessions of physiotherapy... The sad thing is that she can't even talk yet.. someone was saying that they now need to make the brain start working again so that she can restart her speech and thought process..
Hope she gets well soon.. i never enjoy (don't think anyone does) seeing someone you know just lying there in the hospital bed, unable to speak, move or laugh and smile with you..
well, thats it from me today... pray for my aunt's speedy recovery!.

update continued... and the wonders of irony.
hey,
when i start typing, i can't stop!. hahaha.. forgot to update you on certain significant items..
Sister - my sister had her engagement a few weeks ago!.. was a tiring but satisfying weekend. she seemed very happy and i'm always happy when she's happy.. kakngah, wishing you all the best!!..luv ya sis!!!
Weird book launch - was talking to a friend of mine who recently went to a book launch. she was commenting how stupid the book launch was. imagine this... the book was about 'HOW TO RAISE KIDS'..or something... well, the author was wearing a SKIMPY RED DRESS!!!..with lacy heels.. (or something)..and a huge ribbon on her ass apparently.. and kept on promoting that she was Miss Malaysia 1990 or someting..
on top of that, the sponsors for the show - Davidoff Cigars... and a LINGERIE brand!!!!..what the.... so they actually had a fashion show to strutt off the lingerie items.!!..
is it just me or there's something awfully wrong with that!!.. seriously, here you've got this book trying to teach parents how to raise kids and the only sponsors they could think of is a cigar and a lingerie brand!!.. what happend to Toy's R Us ???.. i just find that extremely ironic!!...
imagine if the author didnt really have a kid!! (i think she does, but i dont wanna know how he / she's being raised)...
so the lesson learned from "HOW TO RAISE KIDS'" book launch would be:
1. It's okay to smoke.
2. It's okay for guys to ogle at ladies dressed in undergarments.
3. It's okay for girls to dream of growing up and strutting themselves in undergarments (some people may think this is okay.. up to you.)
4. It's okay to dress like a cough*prostitute*cough when launching a book on "HOW TO RAISE KIDS"
...i wonder what's actually in the book.

ICT Consultancy Services - Status Report as of 20 July 2007
hey everyone...
just realised i havent updated for the past 2 months... nothing much has happened, but i'll try to summarise below..
work - sucks as usual.. see the main title??.. that's basically what my main job is nowadays.. to do bloody status reports!!.. its extremely annoyingly ridiculously boring!!!! dont get me wrong, i'm as excited as the next person when it comes to 'gaji buta'.. but then again, my brain needs to function once in awhile.!.. hahah..
love life - couldn't be better!.. nuff said. 8)
Sports - well, i got myself injured again.. surprise surprise.. kinda hurt my wrist a few weeks ago playing futsal. never knew a ball could cause so much damage (no porn jokes here k).. well, i had huge bruise on my right wrist and had to basically wear a bandage for a week or so.. i'm back to playing futsal now though... someone gave me one word to describe me.... stubborn.
holiday - went for a trip to penang about a month ago with a bunch of friends. had a very good time!!.. met up with our penang buddy (how you chris??) and basically just had lots to eat. for more details on the trip, please refer to the following site: http://chrissie-tina.blogspot.com (i'm providing free ads to you chris)
Movies - watched transformers... brilliant movie. for some thoughts on it, log on to: http://let-it-rayn.blogspot.com (i'm providing free ads for you too may!!!). also managed to watch Borat on dvd.. ridiculously stupidly funny!.. hahaha.. a 'must watch'.
Other updates - my shoe got stolen today.. yea, my working shoe. was going for friday prayers and some idiot just snatched my shoes... i cant believe someone would actually go to a mosque (where normal people need to behave at their best) and start stealing shoes!!.. that's definitely a one way ticket to h*ll!!!>.. oh well. i kinda liked that shoe as well..
guess that's my update for now.. will try to update a bit more when i have the time!.. just that nowadays my daily activities have been rather routine...
anyway, hope you guys will have a good weekend!.. i'm playing bowling tomorow.. i think. depends on how well my wrist holds up!>...
ciao..
