Three days holiday for hari raya aidilfitri.
I am writing this entry today on the third day of hari raya puasa direct from my home. Before this, all my entries were posted from my office. My house just apply for the streamyx lah, that's why.
My last entry was about the
NewLife Detoxification & Rejunevation Program that I try in order to cure my skin infection (or disease, or abnormality). The outcome....
It didn't work for me! Well it was my fault too. I should be fasting during the program period, suppose only can eat fruits & vegetables plus other supplements from
NewLife. I broke my fast on the third and forth day. I ate salted fish and chicken. I still continue consumed the supplements without fasting for these two day. Then, I regretted with my act, so I continue fasting on the fifth day until I finished all the supplements. But still didn't work.
So, I went to a doctor at Klinik Prisma near my office. The doctor diagnosed me with
Psoriasis (just click the link to know what's it all about). Bad news is, this disease is incurable. What I can do is to control it by not consuming beef, mutton, lamb and less chicken (which was my main daily diet). I also have to stop drink alcohols (shit!). Not to be so stressfull (yeah right, I always in stress while doing my work, that's perhaps the reason). Luckily I don't smoke. But all of this will not cure it except to reduce the skin itchiness and the white flakes. The doctor gave medicines called
Cetirizin Stada 10mg (to control itchiness) and Dexa (for allergy). He aslo gave me a bottle of ELOVERA cream (aloe vera with vitamin E (to apply on my skin to moist the skin))
My condition is getting better. However, last week at my co's annual staffs' party at Hyatt Hotel, I ate beef, lamb, prawns and drank beer. So the next morning, my skin was so terribly itchy all over my body. I had to scrath it until it bleed. What to do, tahan sajalah. Thankfully, the aloe vera cream is effective to reduce the itchiness. I still continuing the medication.
I almost forgot that last friday(12th Oct), I called the
NewLife office branch in KK to make an appointment with the owner of this company i.e. Dr Lynn Tan (I won't call if not my boss instructed me to do so) and the receptionist, Ms Hii will call me back after hari raya holiday. Hope the doctor won't be available.
Ha..Ha!!, my heading for this entry is about hari raya holiday and I haven't say anything about it yet. Ok, I do it now, It's been a long time that I get 3 days continuous holiday. So, last saturday (13th Oct) which is the first of hari raya. I had planned that I will go for my driving class with my tutor and was set on 2.30pm. However, I planned to leave home as early as 10 o'clock to go to KK first to watch movie. On the same day, everybody at home except me will be leaving home heading to Sandakan for the installation of new diocese of Sandakan and the appointment of Rev. Fr. Julius Gitom as its first bishop. All my family members will stay in Sandakan until tomorrow, I think, because while I am typing this entry, they still not back yet.
My family left house at around 9.00am. Once they left, I also left home for KK. I reached KK at about 11.30am. I went to Centre Point Cinema at 8th flr. Bought a ticket just for me, and the movie I am about to watch was
Bourne Ultimatum starring Matt Damon. The show started on 12.00 noon and finished around 2.15pm.
I went to the Pasar Besar KK bus stop to catch a bus to inanam to go for my driving class which where I agreed to my driving tutor to meet. My tutorial was about 2 hours long consist of driving on the road following the given route, parking, hill test and U test. Then I drove back the tutor car to Inanam. My tutor and I had agreed to have driving class the next (Sunday) at 9.30am (meaning, I have to skip sunday mass, oh forgive me God)
From Inanam, I get a bus back to KK to watch another movie. This time I went to another cinema, which is Cathay Pavillion. Bought a ticket for 4.30pm show called
I Now Pronounce you Chuck & Larry starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James. Adam Sandler is one of my favourite comedian. If I had not mistaken, I'd watched all his box office comedies. The film finished around 6.30pm.
From the cinema went to Servay Hypermarket at KK plaza to buy spaghetti sauce, button mushroom and kiwi fruits. Rushed to the Pasar Besar bus stop again to get a bus back to Tuaran. Suprisingly. the bus stop was full with people waiting for their bus. I was unsure whether there were less bus available due to the holiday or there were so many people went out to town until evening. Almost 90% of the crowded people at the bus stop were Southern Filipino and Indonesian immigrants who perhaps get their day off on this day.
My bus that I had ridden was over limit of passengers. Everybody wanted to go back, so did not even care whether the bus was over crowded nor not. We just like sardines packed in a can. The bus driver also can not do anything about it. No use of him to stop the people, everybody just wanted to get home, do not care about safety. Well it was also include me. I had to squat on the floor of the bus from KK until PutraJaya. Sandi beb, mau pulang punya pasal.
At last, reached my home at around 8.00pm. Once I got into the house. Straightly went to the kitchen to boil some water in a pot. Take a spaghetti noodles and put into the boiling water for about 15 minutes. Took 1/4 of luncheon meat from its can and sliced them until became little. Once the spaghetti cooked, I drained the water from the spaghetti and put them away for a little while. I took a wok, heat it up and put a few drops of cooking oil. Took 3 cloves of garlic, smashed them and put into the wok. Stirred for a while and I put the luncheon meat into the wok. I get the spaghetti sauce that I had bought earlier, opened it and I emptied half of the can into the wok. Once the sauce blended well the other stuffs (as I thought so), get the cooked spaghetti and put into the wok to stir & mix them with the sauce. Taadaa! my spaghetti with luncheon meat was ready. Day one ended.
Day two, woke up early to get ready to go to driving tutorial lesson. I reached Inanam at araound 8.45am. I brought with me a USB drive which contains my photos taken during the staff party and went to the photo shop to print all the photos. It costs me RM20.00.
Then, went to driving lesson for another 2 hours from 9.30am until 11.30am. Once finished my lesson (but still got tomorrow, the last 2hrs at 9.00am), I drove back the tutor car to Inanam town. again to collect my photos from the photo shop. Then when to take my lunch at Wan Soon hin Restaurant. After that, went to Toto outlet to buy 4D & 6D.
I looked at my watch, it just 12.30pm. I thought if I went back home, it was too hot, so I had decided to go to KK at Wawasan Plaza because I wanted to buy some long sleeve t-shirts to cover my skin problems. I had bought 3 t-shirts (long sleeve one lah) plus 1 box of underwear(5 pcs per box) and a photo album from Parkson Grand, which costed me about RM120.00. Then, I went to Guardian Pharmacy, at first just to look around if anything suitable for my skin. During my search, I had found a soap bar specially for psoriasis, a
Polytar Bar. Then I asked from the pharmacist whether they have sell shampoo specially for psoriasis on scalp. Yes, they have, called
Polytar Liquid (both are from same company). The pharmacist had also suggested me to get a supplement especially for skin. I said ok, then she gave me the Blackmores evening primrose+fish oil supplement. Actually I was in doubt about the evening primrose because it never stated on its bottle about how it could works on your skin. However I took it also. So, from the pharmacy, I bought the Polytar Bar, a bottle of Polytar Liquid and a bottle of Blackmores Evening Primrose + Fish Oil. It costed me almost RM70.00. Great! Seduced by the pharmacist
I went back home at around 5.00pm.
Haiya, it's too long already. Maybe today story I type later or tomorrow, now it almost 10.00pm, I need to take my bath first.

The 3rd & last day of holiday, today, I woke up around 5.30am this morning to make sure that I won't be late for my last session of my driving lesson om 9.00am. Once I woke up, I went to the kitchen to boil water in kettle for my warm bath, and I saw thick black liquid on top of the kitchen cabinet table. I checked it and it was soy sauce from a bottle which I used last night, and I didn't close the soy sauce bottle cap tightly. Then I suspected a stupid cat which I didn't know which one was responsible because so many cats in the house, had accidentally knocked the bottle down and the soy sauce spilled out from its bottle. I cannot blame the cat since it was my own mistake actually. So, I had to clean all the mess up, and it took me until 7.00am to finish it.
So, it was time for my bath. I took the kettle, filled it with water and boiled it on the gas cooker. During it boiling, I took my USB drive and copy my staff's christmas party taken last Dec from the computer. Done that, and the water was already boiled. I took the boiling water into the bathroom and poured into a pail. So, I took my bath. Finished my bath, put on one of my long sleeve t-shirt that I had bought yesterday (I washed them yesterday once I got home and hung up on a hanger to be blown at by fan for the whole entire night). I got out from home around 8.00am reached at the main road junction 15 minutes later and fortunately a bus was about to pass by. So got into the bus and reached Inanam 30 minutes later. Once I reached Inanam town, I went to the photo shop to print photos from the USB drive I brought together. Then I went to one coffee shop. I ordered my breakfast which was Konlau Mein with Char Sau & Chung Kien and Iced Lemon Tea for drink. But I had to wait for about 10 minutes to get my Konlau. It took away my appettite. Once I got my Konlau I quickly finished it (took me only 2 minutes to finish it) since the clock in the shop had shown 9.00am already. I was affraid that my tutor will be waiting for me.
I reached my pick up point but my tutor hadn't shown up yet. He only arrived a few minutes later. Then, as usual, 2 hours driving lesson. This would be the last tutorial and I will be examined be the JPJ officer for Test-Drive this coming saturday (21st Oct). I have to apply one day leave for that day. Tomorrow I will fill up the leave application form. By the way I also need to bring cash of RM220.00 for payment of the test.
I finished my lesson at around 11.00am, so I went to KK, to Warisan Square just loitering around and looking for long sleeve shirt for work. Maklumlah, penghidap psoriasis, need a long sleeve shirt to cover my skin problem.
But I haven't tell about how effective was my soap, shampoo and the vitamin. I was impress with the outcome because my skin was less scalpy and flaky already. Thanks God, it worked. The itchiness was minimal. Ok, that was it.
Back to Warisan Square, I had found a lot of long sleeve shirts but everything have their setback. I saw a nice one but the price was not worth it. I found the cheap one but there no size for me. At last, I did not buy a single thing. I only used my money today just for bus fares, food and drinks. I also deposited RM300.00 into my Maybank a/c. I when back home at around 4.00pm.
That's was it for these 3 hari raya holiday. Tomorrow need to work already and on Thursday, got meeting some more. I think during the meeting, I will be punished for misplaced staffs confirmation letter. Matilah kau Daniel. Apa buli buat. Telan sajalah.
Fuuuhhhhh!.......I am tired already and the clock shows 12.19am now. So I finish for this time.
