It's been a long time...
I haven't update my blog during the semester break because I don't have Internet connection at my my kampong. Besides that, I have no time to go to the cc. If I have time, the cc already pack with youngsters playing dota etc. So I think of using the library Internet but the result is event worst. The Internet connection is too slow plus the limit of usage about 1 hour per usage because there is only has 2 pc. It feel like the same as not online at all. Hehehe...

Road first, others second.
This evening (25 Aug 2009) me and my friends witness an accident in front of our eyes on our way to Santai Restaurant. Because of misinformation that the restaurant is in Seksyen 9 so we have to go to the Seksyen 11 roundabout and turn back before we can go to Santai Restaurant.
The traffic was busy that time because it is peak hour (around 5:00 - 6:00 like that) where everybody going back after working and everybody want to go to Pasar Ramadan to buy food or go to home to "berbuka puasa" with their loves one.
At the junction to the roundabout I think I saw an accident because a 3 - 4 motorist already at the roadside and throwing something broken to the roadside. Then, when we're turn back at the roundabout, we saw a motorist using scooter holding a hand phone on the left side like talking through the phone. I'm impressed and smile after looking at the motorist because answering a call is more important than focus on the busy road. Then suddenly we saw the motorist fall down after trying avoiding another motorist that headed to PKNS. Just imagine using one hand to avoid from crash but it is too late and it happens. The motorist just lying down and not make any movement. My friend who is driving the car scared after looking the motorist does not make any movement.
We just go ahead and not stop to see the motorist because we don't want to make the traffic become worst. So we just headed to Santai Restaurant. I still can't forget the sound when the accident happened until now. My friend who is from Stadium Melawati also sees the accident. They said a lot of blood already on the road and the policeman who is on duty handling the traffic also help the victim. We don't know how badly the accident is. But what lesson that we can get from that day is "Focus on the road while driving and not at the phone". This is because it is not for our own safety but also for other road uses.

Finally 3 to 6
You must wander what I mean by 3 to 6. OK... here the story begins...
Today is the day my 1st day sleep at our new house at seksyen 6, Shah Alam. Before this I and my colleague rent an apartment at this Batu 3, Subang Jaya, same country which is Selangor but different district. That is what I'm means by 3 to 6. Hehe... So far so good here. The neighborhood is nice. Calm and peace. That is all I can comment for now.
The excuse we're moved from 3 to 6 is because:
1. Lack of public transport from our house to UiTM main campus. You need to walk by the road side to the nearest bus stop which direct to seksyen 2 which took me about 15 minute by walking.
2. The traffic always busy with vehicle especially during peak hour.
3. The maintenance is quite expensive especially the water bill because as a resident to the apartment, we're also had to paid the swimming pool water bill.
4. In case of forgetting some at house (assignment etc.) it is too far for us to back to home from UiTM.
5. Lack of facilities such as food court also becomes the issue here. The nearest is Sha Sha which only open from 6.00 pm till 2:00 am. But we miss Sha Sha so much our favorite hangs around during night time.
6. Last but not least (where many others issue that I'm not stated here) we cannot make noise especially during study among us because the "Pak Guard" will come and knock your door and said “Orang sudah banyak complain ini rumah banyak bising”
That is all what I want to share to you all... Thanks for come by and read my post
Peace.

In memory Alistair R.G Morrison
Former Sarawak Information Director Dies
KUCHING, Aug 20 (Bernama) -- Former Sarawak Information Services director Alistair R.G Morrison, who was credited as a crucial figure in the state's relatively smooth transition from colonial rule in the early 1960s, has died in Canberra, Australia, aged 94.
Former assistant state secretary Lim Kian Hock said today the Peking-born Morrison died of old age on Aug 4.
He said in a statement here that Morrison had been afflicted with a range of health problems in later years.
After his wife, Hedda, died in 1991, he proceeded to occupy himself in writing his memoirs, first of his time in Sarawak, entitled "Fair Land Sarawak", and then of his earlier life, "The Road in Peking" and "A Bird Fancier : A Journey to Peking".
Describing him as a "fine writer, whose wry sense of humor was never far from the surface," Lim said Morrison joined the British Colonial Service in 1947 and was sent to Sarawak just after it was acquired by Britain from the last Rajah, Sir Charles Vyner Brooke.
He served in several up-country posts as a district officer and wrote extensively for the Sarawak Gazette on future government policy towards Sarawak's indigenous groups.
Later he was transferred to the secretariat in Kuching and finally to the Government Information Office in late 1959.
"As an economist, his real interest was in rural development and he was disappointed not to be able to persevere in that challenging area.
On the other hand, he was to be a crucial figure in the relatively smooth transition from colonial rule in the early 1960s," Lim said.
He said the up-country postings had also given Hedda, a photographer by profession, the opportunity to take a superb series of photographs of the people of Sarawak before the effects of modernisation began to change their traditional way of life.
Her 1962 book, "Life in a Longhouse", remains a classic.
In early 1967, four years after Sarawak became part of the new federation of Malaysia, Morrison and Hedda moved to Canberra where he took up a senior position as head of the Southeast Asian branch of the Office of Current Intelligence under the Joint Intelligence Organisation before retiring in the mid-1970s.
