Tooth Broke!

Yesterday, while eating roast pork for lunch, my pre-molar broke!  The skin of the KL roast pork was tough.  My teeth is quite weak after repair for several times.  I went to 2 dentists for assessment right away and there is a way to temporarily patch or get a crown which cost more than a thousand bucks!!  Unfortunately, I will need to pay up as what will be life without ability to eat all kinds of food?

The treatment nowaday is quite advanced.  There is a milling machine that will make my crown and my teeth can be fixed in a single day unlike old technology which will take a week.  Price is a lot dearer.

Fish Farm Disaster!

I had 2 kim bak lo or Asian Seabass in my fish tank.  Unfortunately, I had electric shocks two days ago.  I tried rewiring and it did not work.  So I took off the water pump.  Unfortunately, my seabass did not do well.  One was dying.  So I freeze both.  They are still quite small.  Together, they weighs 480 grams.  Anyway, we will have to eat it now that it is in the freezer. 

I spent lot of time troubleshooting and was unable to solve the problem of leaking electricity.  So I have been busy with rewiring a couple of times and clearing up the garden.  Hence, I have not be updating my blog.

Today, I google the problem and one electrical engineer ground the water and it works for him.  I tried the same solution and it works!  So now, my saltwater tank is grounded, I no longer get electric shock from it.  The problem is all the fishes have died.  So I will have to put in fresh fishes and see how it go.

Beautiful Sunday

It is a quiet morning.  The whole estate is waking up late.  My family wakes up late.  So it is me and the birds chirping.  The garden cum cleaner is out and about doing his chores.  I have trim off my honey melon to focus the growth on the main branch.  So far, I have two melons and hoping to get a couple more.

My barramundi are alive and well.  The small fishes are diminishing in numbers.  Soon they will run out of live fishes and I have to get lucky to catch more fishes.  It is quite hard to have good fishing days with clean water.  I hope the pollution will go away and fishes will love to come to the shore.

Excitement of Opposition Winning

The excitement of opposition winning in Malaysia is over.  Now it seems to be business as usual.  I hope the conditions in Malaysia improve for the citizens.  They have been suffering for long time and ringgit has devalued.

I hope the opposition will continue their ideals and work hard to improve the economy and the life of a regular Malaysian.  I enjoyed my trips to Malaysia but the safety is always a concern.  Once petty crimes are taken care of, it will be one of the best country to live in in Asia.

Lucky Luke!

I am envious.  It is so nice to live in another country that is 6 hours away.  My good friend and fellow blogger is now living in Japan with his in-laws.  He loves Japanese food and is now putting out the sights and natural beauty of Japan.  He does not life winter but it is really mild there.  If I have the chance, I can only go to Canada.  It is 26 hours and the winter is 6 month with a few episodes of -20 degress celcius!!  It is easy for him to travel back to Singapore whereas Canada is a long long flight and cost a lot more.  Boh Tong probably has free flights for his retirement benefits.  However, even if not free, the budget airlines are far more pocket friendly vs the long flights which no budget carriers are ready to touch.

Even now with B2 in Canada for school and mum is there, I also think very hard for visit.  It is exhausting travel to say the least.  So yes, the best long term visit is another country within Asia where flight time is reasonable.

B2 Homecoming

B2 has checked in to his flight in Tokyo.  He went there for short holiday before returning home.  He will be home this evening as he has a transit in Hong Kong airport. 

I think he misses his hawker food which he must have told his mummy.  I am glad we will be a full team again tonight.  He will spend his summer here and maybe take a couple of exchange courses in NTU.  His baby brother will have to go back to sharing room with him.

I met an old classmate who suffered a stroke and he seems to have recovered well.  I am very happy to see him in good shape.  This is the first time I met him since Sec 2!  He is now working in a Christian organisation.  He has 5 kids, 2 girls, a boy, girl and the last is another boy.  Baby boy is in Temasek IP program.  All his kids do not have tuition.  So the kids are doing extremely well indeed!  2nd girl is in NTU doing her PhD program in Biomedical  researching on superbugs.

First grandchild is coming along.  Always with the eldest being a girl becoming grandparents will be earlier than peers with boys.
