Too bad there was red tide outbreak at Gayana Eco Resort on our arrival on the 18 January 2009. According to the staff, it has been going on for a week. Red tide is a natural phenomenon caused by higher-than-normal concentration of microscopic Karenia brevis algae or formerly known as Gymnodinium breve.

When the sea temperature, salinity and nutrients reach certain levels, a massive increase in Karenia brevis algae occurs and they causes natural toxins. Marine life which have consumed the algae are not edible, it can cause death to human. The sea water will turn into reddish, brownish or rusty in color… the reason this phenomenon called red tide. We were advised not to swim because the water can cause itchiness. . . . Continue Reading »

This is the first part of my back posting about our trip to Pulau Gaya. I supposed to go there on Monday, 19 January, but I decided to join the committee and the rest a day early on Sunday, 18 January.

For the Monday schedule’s trip, everyone have to be at the jetty at Jesselton Point before 6.30am! Meaning I have to wake up around 5am or probably earlier than that and be there before 6.30 am coz that is the time the boat leaving for Pulau Gaya. . . . Continue Reading »

I’m always having problem finding a pen every time I need one. There are two reasons why I have this problem.

First, I seldom use pen to write because my handwriting are worse than the doctor’s handwritings… I’m sure you’ve seen how doctor’s handwritten before. I also use computer to write more than pen. In fact, I wish if I have to attend exam, I’m allowed to use notebook (notebook as in computer, not the note book) to write. Because I seldom use pen, this make me to misplace my pens all the time. . . . Continue Reading »

I asked them, what’s’ the problem? The husband said, it’s for their kids. I asked, what’s wrong with our school? They said nothing wrong. Then I asked again, what is the big problem then? . . . Continue Reading »

The politics scenario in Malaysia right now is really wasting a lot of time and resources. I really hate with what’s going on right now.

Since 8 March 2008, after the 12th General Election, the scenario of Malaysia’s politics changed like never before. It’s all because of the big losses of the Barisan Nasional (BN) to Pekatan Rakyat (PR).

BN lost the two-third majorities in the federal government which it enjoys for the past 50 years. And it also lost another 4 states out of the 13 states (15 if you include KL and Labuan). BN lost 5 states actually, including Kelantan which has been ruled by opposition, PAS, for sometimes. . . . Continue Reading »
