Finally! Manage a picture up. Watermelon Cookies made by a friend for the Hari Raya Celebrations. It was delicious and scrumptious. Yummy yummy!

You know, one thing about living in Malaysia, is that all sorts of cookies starts popping up during the festival periods. I mean, this is just one type. The ladies would go out of their way to get the most delightful looking ones either by baking it themselves or buying it from other ladies.

On a side note, I got a new toy : click here. Ain’t she a beauty? Jas helped me to get it from the USA so that there’s at least some warranty to this thing. So, I’m now playing around with Kiki my little puppy. Sad to say that Wena got so excited that she trained the puppy until she became too tired to learn. Oh well. Now, the question is whether to get other puppies. Ahem. 🙂

Or probably borrow Abat’s cartridges and get some puppies transfered into the DS unit. Anyway, that’s for something back in Miri.

As well as Animal Crossing. Well, maybe.

I’m still trying to wrestle with the issue of uploading pictures online. Bah! Weak connection streamyx in Tabuan Jaya, Kuching. You can tell when the kids are allowed to surf the net (6 – 7 p.m.). Then again, it also still slows down during the night time. Then it’s adult surfing 10 p.m. till 1 a.m. Extreme frustration at Telekom at the moment.

Although at the moment, I’m amazed to actually to be able to log on to Flyff. Free game but massive lags. Once in a while, someone would scream something in Malay or Manglish/Singlish. I like the cute graphics though. Lag, definitely not. Kiddy cousins, ahem. Please do not nag your parents. It’s too long a download (took me 3 days).

And for a free game of that size, there’s only 4 GMs. Haiyo. First time I see a huge game with only 4 GMs and not enough forum moderators.

And I got messages from friends asking what’s happening to this blog. Sigh. Until the line is more reliable for heavy traffic, will be posting picture-less postings until it’s up and running better.

BTW, does anyone want a free Gmail account?

Drop me an email at myremi (at) gmail.com and I’ll send you an invite. Note that for Hotmail users, I think it goes into the SPAM folder or gets blocked out completely so you’ll need to drop me a different email address.

Streamyx this weekend is so bloody slow. Bah. To the point that it’s almost impossible to load up any food pictures these days. Bah! Ah well. Guess you all have to wait for awhile then.

On another note, here’s a blog that I’ve been writing for awhile now. Been at it for about 6 months now. Yes, there is an online game I play, called A Tale in the Desert : Tale 2. Although, I haven’t been at it for awhile.

On another note, trying to download Fly for Fun at the moment. Taking a really long time to do so. It’s a free game at 410 MB but if you want some cool stuff, you have to pay for it. Well, actually you pay for potatoes (don’t ask) which in turn you can buy some need stuff with it.

I’ve had several comments about this and I get the feeling that they are starting to feel offended.

Reason for this is that a lot of hospitals are concern about the potential risk of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease a.k.a. Mad Cow Diseases. Outside of the UK, a lot of hospitals in various countries will actually turn down people who have lived in UK in the past 10 or so years. It’s a disease that may not appear until a few years down the road.

Actually, it’s not 10 years but rather since 1980 for at least 3 months stay in UK. There’s been reports about contaminated blood in blood banks so the hospitals are being more careful.

And for those who have commented, I’m assuming that you’re either living in UK already or have not donated blood outside of UK. Else, from the questionairre alone you will be filtered.

A colleague of mine from work is looking around for a blood donor with O+ type blood. Her father is going to go for an operation tomorrow and the blood bank is out of this blood type. He will be having his operation tomorrow and needs another pint of blood. The hospital that he’s at is Sarawak General Hospital (SGH). The operation is scheduled for the afternoon so if you would like to volunteer to donate blood, please do let me know. I’ll pass your contact to my colleague. Drop me an email at myremi@gmail.com and I’ll send you her contact number. Thanks.

However, note that if you are having flu, are on antibiotics, had an accident or cut, or have been to UK in the past 10 years since mid-80s, you won’t be able to donate. I can’t donate because of my study days in UK.

Now, before someone goes off and start complaining about the state of the hospital these days, the blood bank at SGH actually caters to a lot of hospitals in the Kuching division. That includes hospitals that are outstation and private hospitals as well. Also, note that blood banks are usually short of blood during a festive season.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, do drop me an email for the contact details.
