I used to drink the water directly from the tap when I was young. That was perhaps some 30+ years ago. I could still remember the water was so clear and fresh. But it wasn't the case for my kids to enjoy such luxury. We need filtration system now for every families. I used to install a 'Diamond' filtration system when I stayed in Penang. That was when my wife and the elder one moved to Penang in 2002. since then, I was never have my house installed with any filtration.
Tonight I installed almost every single tap with a ceramic filter to ensure we wash our faces with filtered water. I really afraid the kids faces would be clogged with mud due to prolong usages of un-filtered water. It was late at night when I completed the installation. I felt kind of achievement although the filtration costed me several hundred, but I believed the value of health is priceless.
I would avoid those commercially filtration system as I always believed the system are over priced and advertising with too much of unproven promises.
I would invest on the basic ceramic and carbon filter.
About Me
There are always fake or imitated phone around the market. These phones always imitated the hottest selling phone model. iPhone and nokia are always the preys for these imitators. Lately, there is a phone shop at Ipoh openly selling and marketing these type of phones. It was nothing wrong if the shop informs the prospective buyers, but it wasn't the case here as they claimed as original.
These are most irresponsible business I had ever seen.
Please be notified, shoppers. You have been warned. There is always no such thing as 'big frogs' on street for you to catch.
On Friday, I took a day off to accompany the kids to the nearby hot spring. It was approximate 80km away from Ipoh and we only started the journey late in the morning. We had our breakfast at Kampar at the bazzar. By the time we arrived, it was already 12 and thankfully that it wasn't too sunny and the kids immediately dived to the mountain spring pool. I would stand watching. They always enjoy water games. Half an hour later, I requested them to join me to the hotspring. But it was very disappointing that the hot spring was not well maintained. There were no water jet, no water flushing, but just remained as a 'die-still' pool. I only spent 10 minutes then we walked away to other treatment pool. But it was also gently disappointed. The water are either too muddy or there wasn't any fresh incoming hot spring water. We moved back to the mountain spring pool and the kids would be most delight to follow.
It was a great trip.
I have been quiet in cyberspace for some reasons... I am investing some times in a recent gadget..The Ipad.
Ipad is truly admiring and innovative. It is not merely a type of enlarged iphone or ipod. With jailbreaking it, I can get it to multitask, standby download, office view and edit, camera, keyboard and mouse via BT. I do not even turn on my 37" LCD PC for my daily cyber events.
The ipad is bad only for 1 reason...It does not connect to external storage, not without the extra camera connector. This is one of the main reason why I could not blog recently as I do not have the camera access...It would be also a plain panel without the access to internet. Luckily I can connect the ipad to the cyberworld with 3G tethering at any location as long as my iphone still have the juice to fire up the myWi.
It is an excellent buy with RM2100 for 32G but some locals are marking up with similar price for the 16G version. Well if that is the money can buy you, no harm spending a couple of hundred.
Moment ago, I saw an ads in Mudah with regard to a sale of an Iphone 3GS at a very attractive price. And so I contacted the seller and agreed to COD. It was raining by the time I arrived at the spot as agreed. It was early in the midnight.
I met the person who came in rain coat and passed me the so called Iphone. It was physically resembled Iphone. Even the OS is mimicking closely to Iphone with capacitive screen scrollable pages and iphone-like icons. It was only discovered that it was a fake Iphone when I check the "about" of the phone. All the information differed from what I had known on Iphone. Thereby I returned the "iphone" to the seller and reject the sale. I was extremely sure that it was a fake Iphone.
If I did not use and explore Iphone, I would have been the fool to buy this clone. It was 90% closely resembled the Iphone.
The ads of this iphone could be found at http://www.mudah.my/Iphone+3Gs+used+lower+than+1+month-6085725.htm. The images provided in fact at first had made me very suspicious. Please beware.
Last week, I promised the kids would not unneccessarily punish them and would always try to control the temper. Yet, it happened again tonight...
The little one has been suffering with running nose for quite a few days and we had tried to fetch him to his panel doctor twice. The panel had closed for past two days. And so after a reminder from my sister, I had the little one to the nearby urgent care for some quick examination. The journey would be only 10 minutes and the little one waved goodbye to his elder and jokingly laughing that he would return soon after to join his elder brother for the games.
The little sat quietly at the back. Along the way, he shifted his seat. I noticed this change but believed that this was a common way for the little for not being able to sit quietly at one place for some while. 10 minutes later, we reached at the clinic and we have the doctor examination on the little one. He seemed happy and always replied in a happy tone. It was later then while waiting for the medication, I noticed he was kind of slim and I called him to give him a hug. He dashed to my arms but I found that his pant was wet. I asked why his pant was wet. He replied jokingly that he pissed at the car as he could not withstand the call of nature. On hearing this, my temper started to rise. I could never imagine that my dearest Wilson would have behaved in this manner and shamelessly he considered this was an approved action.
I paid then left and I promised to the little one that he would have a great lesson at the return to home. And so I punished him rather heavy. It was rather sad to have the punishment after all. It could be physical pain to him, but it hurted me badly.
I asked him to have a bath and get ready for sleep. I asked him to come to my arms again and explained to him why he could not repeat this same act again. It was not that I care about the car, but it is more about the well being of good manner and hygience. I was also afraid that there could be illness on him that he could not control his bladder. I asked him to close his eyes to sleep in my arms and unknowingly, I found myself in tears. It must be my fault that I had not guided him. I am most terribly sorry to Soo King for not being able to take great care of your loving son.
I failed again...
I started this blog with intention that the kids will one day read all these write-ups and as a memory for them. I should not be hesitated to confess and "document" any wrong doing of myself.
Today, the elder was preparing to school and as always (perhaps due to his easy going character) he did not well comb his hairs and forgot his handkerchief. He was again looking for his socks. The elder would always have his socks in the school beg as he enjoys the cool relaxing bare foot without socks in his shoes. He continued to search for his socks till later he realized the socks would be inside his beg.
I looked and waited for him with impatience and I lost my temper! I was most sorry that I had done something really terrible. He cried silently as always. I am sorry, Wei Yang.
I am sorry for punishing you but I am more concern that my action has impact on you that I do not love you. It was not the manner as I truly love you. I would want you to be as tidy as your mother and as smart as your father. It is this expectation that I always measure you against us. The bringing along handkerchief was apparently serving the memory to your mother as this was what she had taught you.
I should be more patience with you as your character is a bit too timid. I am sorry, kid. I will explain this to you tonight. I promise to get myself control and will have a weekly family meeting to go over your growing cycle.
But Wei yang, would you forgive me?
