2008-03-06 21:26:00 Finally, its the end of Danum Valley series..So... since, we had not much to do around field base.. we planned to trek deep into the jungle in order to start planning to rebuild the devastated and deserted Raleigh Cabin for more than 15 years.. A total of 7 days trek into the Raleigh Cabin, the group was separated into groups of 8 and 4.. group of 8 went into Raleigh Cabin while group of 4 stayed at field base... this decision was carried out because due to some medical reasons.. anyway.. of course i was in the 8 person group.. i wouldn't want to stay at field base doing nothing.. i will definitely bored to death..At first we trekked to a waterfall camp (Purut Camp) where most visitors would stopped and stayed.. this part of the trek was easy with some mild hills and valleys along the route.. but not too hard.. we stayed for one night at Purut Camp..the next day, we went in deeper into the jungle.. this was the toughest part of the trek, and not much people came in here other than ...

Zoo Negara with Precious Children
2008-02-26 08:04:00 Another community Post-IW project by Alpha from last year IW..Group Alpha fund-raised and fund the trip to bring the children from Precious Children 's home to Zoo Negara..It was a success, you can see it from the number of volunteers taking part.. a group of 40+ people with 20+ children, most of the children were taken care 1 to 1 by one volunteer.. I didn't get one due to number of volunteers..The crowd in front of the main entrance..most of them are very obedient until they saw some junk food stalls in the zoo.. haha :PThis is Vincent's son aka "Naughty Aaron"..Since I didn't get any son or daughter to take care of.... so i would rather mingled with some animals instead.. :PSo i went to multiple animal show to look for some talented animals..Found a clever little white parrot..But then, this cunning little parrot stole my RM1 flew away and afraid of facing me face to face!!The seal lion was good in Slam dunk!The hornbill stood majestically on its throne seat..The eagle was too...

Finally back to KL!
2008-02-15 20:34:00 Finally I am back from KB (Kota Bharu), didn't really had much of a CNY celebration this year other than the angpao(s).. Stayed in grandmother's house for four days doing nothing but sitting in a room stealing free wireless internet from "Mr Ong" who generously shared his internet connection to all his neighbours... :P Bet he was wondering why his internet speed was so slow these days.. Blame it to the Lousy Streamyx!! :PSo what did i do during CNY? Besides 2x reunion dinner with two different 'parties' of the family and getting angpao from relatives the following day.. basically i stayed in a room facing my computer or read my books... Cousins all have their own friends and the younger ones are more fond of playing playstation.. Adults are stubborn Amway distributors who never listen, television was controlled by adults.. so what else could i do than staying in a room and 'zhi bi'?!Anyway, on 12 Feb 08 (sunday).. after a long bus journey, i am back to the place that i familia...

How to deal with Incompliance?
2008-02-09 11:28:00 A BNF can be considered as one of the bible(s) for pharmacists..Only pharmacists, doctors and nurses or maybe dentists could understand this.. So how do we deal with incompliance? I actually have a case with my relative which have a very serious compliance problem to her medicine taking because what she eat is actually being controlled by somebody else. Me as a pharmacist yet couldn't really do much although I am the one that witnessed what happened here..The patient has got type II diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension and diagnosed postmenopausal osteoporosis.. She was prescribed normal type II diabetes treatment with Gliclazide (Diamicron) and Rosiglitazone (Avandia), Atorvastatin (Lipitor) for hyperlipidaemia,Amlodipine (Norvasc) for hypertension,Alendronic acid (Fosamax), Calcitriol (Vitamin D) and Calcium lactate for osteoporosis..So what happened was the self-proclaimed "nutritionist" and Amway distributor said that all medicine given by doctors are harmful to her body..
