friday's breakfast special

i should be eating Pho for breakfast in Saigon today. i decided to stay and do my job instead. i have to catch on my classes and finish the syllabus before their mid term, by the end of this month. its a fine friday morning here in Kuching. a bit cloudy, just the way i like it best. But, wouldnt it be grand if i were sitting in a stall in saigon slurping away my second helping of pho bo?

notes: i blame the system in Bahagian pengurusan Latihan for my failure to comply to my schedule. they always sent letter for meetings a few days before the events, like they never plan anything. just because we're under the ministry of health, doesnt mean everything should be done 'emergency' way.

i read in the Star (Sarawak version) about Mahathir's memoirs. let it stew (say, a year?, or maybe when he's gone?). i'll read it someday, but, i'm not dying to know what he has to say about himself. or any justification for whatever done, whatsoever. I am a Sabahan, and i'm not over yet of what he've done to us.

Thinking of Saigon (and longing to be there) makes me think of that book. Saigon: being re-named Ho Chi Minh City, when it's the last and least to abide to communism. i'm mulling over the idea on correlation of important figures, ego and ego-feeds (just finished reading Heartsblood by Paul Martin- a book so medically entertaining (relatively to the books i skimmed through, writing the proposal) and concerning the ego things). Mahathir's book and HCMC are ego-feeds.


p/s: feeding myself tomato for dinner. the first tomato from my window's balcony garden.

more than 1/3 of sabahans = KDM. but, since he interfered with Sabah's Politic (pasal BN inda dapat manang kalau tidak kasi kacau2 tu politicans sabah yg rata2 budu, and kasi budu2 org sabah yg memang, rata2 equally budu)until now, ko pikir siapa perintah sabah? Putrajaya direct..?

how about our resources? kita kah yg dapat? why is it sabah pny raw commodities, cocoa, kelapa sawit etc paling murah di Malaysia. tapi harga beras etc. paling mahal? its inherited system dari dia punya 22 yrs of reign bah kan?

but, yalo.. senang mau blame and point fingers.

not sure yet. belum beli tiket. i have to appear in court 29 bh jg.
