THE TERMITES AND THE CIVET CATS ARE BACK

The damn termites are back and are attacking my door frames and parquet floor. About 9 years ago they attacked my kitchen. I had them treated via the drilling process. It was messy and the guarantee was only for 3 years. Yesterday I had it treated using the Sentricon thing.

A few things I learn about termites and how they are killed:

• Never ever spray the termites with common pesticides like Morten, Bygone and such. Spraying will only anger them and they retaliate by going to other spots and eat your wood even more.
  
• 70% of the chemical used in the drilling technique will kill the termites and the other 30%will form lile a layer to prevent them from entering your house via electrical wiring passage and holes in your wall.


• By using the sentricon system the termites will eat the thing in the box , bring it back to the colony and every termites there will die, even the queen. How? I'm not sure. Perhaps the termites will eat the infected termites. However, it'll takes longer to treat them this way than by drilling.


• If you see trails of soils or dirt on your walls or near your built-in cabinets it means that termites are there. Don't try to clean them or chase the termites away. You need the termites to be visible so that treatment can be administered easily



• You can actually hear the termites eating up your woods when you place your ears close

  

I think Najib should use the sentricon system to get rid of the illegal immigrants in Sabah. My first trip to Sabah was years ago. When I was walking around the stores in KK I did see a lot of people loafing around during the day and doing nothing. So I asked one of the taxi drivers who are these people and why are they hanging around and doing nothing. The driver told me that they were illegal immigrants mostly Filipinos. I laud the government's effort their effort to get rid of them and I was certain some NGOs will make some noise regarding this. One sure did. I wish they would just shut up and let the government

The civet cats are back too and pooping on my new skylite roof. Damn.

Sad News

On the 3rd day of the 2 1/2 - day course my boss announced that a colleague of ours has been confirmed by the doctors to be suffering from stage 4 lymphoma. Now he needs to go for several sessions of chemotherapy. However, the government hospital did not accept his guarantee letter which is from another government agency and I'm not sure why. He needs to fork out RM5k either for 10 therapies or RM5k for each session. I pressumed the therapy is just too expensive and that since he is at stage 4 the hospital is probably trying to say something. It's just a wild baseless guess.

On another note, I haven't gotten into the working mode yet. Liat betul aku ni. Probably I'm worried about my Perodua Viva Las Vegas Voce. Lately I've been wishing that I was the US, UK, France or Australia. I would love to be able to stay at one of those countries for at least a year. Maybe I will start looking for opportunities to be seconded to one of those countries. The desire gets stronger everytime I see pictures of Paris.

On another note also, I hate using Microsoft Vista. I thought it's supposed to be better than XP but it is not. Banyak menyusahkan aje.

Perasaan Hasad Dengki

My permanent head (and hair, yup I have more grey hair now) damage journey is coming to an end. Monday 30th of June, between 9.30 am and God knows what time, will be the deciding period whether my permanent head damage journey will end up with a title being awarded to me (though I cannot take the title with me to my grave). That's is the time when I will be undergoing my Perodua Viva Las Vegas Voce. I pray to Allah that it will be smooth sailing session for me. Amin

Grooming Course

Today I attended a grooming course organized by my work place. It's one of the topics included for this 3 1/2 - day course. The speaker was from Kit Casa. She's the owner. Let me jot down the things that I learned today. If I don't do this I would never remember anything tommorrow.

Man's work attire

• The belt and the shoes much match. Black belt goes with black shoes
• Your tie must not go beyond the buckle of your belt
• The more holes for the shoelace means the more you're concerned about how you look
• Your tie must not macth you shirt. At best the two should contrast each other
• The best is to buy silk ties
• You must not fold the sleeves if you're wearing long sleeves
• Do not put anything in your shirt's pocket, it's not meant to be a usable pocket
• Do not put everything in your pants pockets until huge bulges appear
• The end of your pants should only have one fold. Meaning it must not be too long that you can see severals folds
• Never wear a tie pin

Woman's work attire:

• Limit yourself to only five accessories : ring, necklace, earrings, bangles and watch.
• Your whole attire must not have too many colours, 4 should be the max
• Handbag for work should be those which are structured, those than can stand on its own. Not those that flops down when you put them on the table
• The best is to wear leather shoes, not to high 1.5 - 2.

Your posture must be straight. There should be a straight line running from your ear, through your BCG scar and down .

That's all I could remember.

However, I was not impressed with how the speaker was dressed. She wore a suit which looked like it was made from a cheap, flimsy, nylon material. It doesn't look tailored made because it didn't fit her well, instead it look like something you buy from Mydin. Her hair looked like she was about to do housework.

Pinjam

Within the past two weeks I think about three people have asked me if they could borrow my SLK (small little kancil). Two of them wanted to rent it for about 5 months and one till the end of the month. Though I have 4 vehicles I had to say no to them. I don't mind letting people use it for 3-4 days (max) but 5 months!!!.....hmmm.

I love my Kancil very much. I use it for quick visits to the shops, buy groceries, pay bills, to go the mosque for Friday prayer and to places where I know parking would be a problem. It is a good car with no complicated frills. I bought it in 2002 and currently the mileage is about 45000 km. To date it has not given me a single problem. BB does not like to be in the Kancil because it's too small (too small for BB's wide bottom) so I bought another car for BB to use. Some of my friends don't understand why I can't loan my car to them and why I need two cars. I just plain need them. They each serve different purposes. I would get really restless when someone borrows my Kancil because I want my cars to be with me all the time. Hey, I'm an Aries. They say people associated with the sign want everything in 2s.

This is not my scooter

My other vehicle is a Suzuki V125 scooter. I haven't used it for about a year. No one wants to borrow that one.

Father's Day

Father's Day was a few days ago. I did not wish my father 'happy father's day' as he is no longer alive. He went to meet his creator almost three years ago.

I was not closed to my father. To describe how not closed I was to my father let me compare my reception when my father came back from work when I was a kid to that of my old neighbour's children. When my neighbour came home on his 'kapcai', his small children (he had about 10 children) would run to him screaming "Ayah balik, ayah balik' when he was about 70 meters away from his house. He would slow down his bike and stop to pick up the smallest child onto his bike and continued riding. His other children would hold on to the bike running slowly until it reached the house. My neighbour would have a huge, contented, and a happy smile on his face. This happened everyday. For me I did not want my father to come back.

My father never laid his hands on me (except maybe once), never not fed us, but he was a fierce man.

Fathers out there, don't let your kids hate you.
