Dressing The Skin Grafting

In result of the 3rd degree..(I guess) burned on lower right arm and partial of lower left arm of K.Long, my SIL, she had to undergo a skin grafting surgery. A 'good' skin graft was harvested from her higher left leg and being place and staples at the affected area. Prior to that, every 3 days she has to go for the dressing on affected area.

A dressing is an adjunct used by a person for application to a wound in order to promote healing and/or prevent further harm. A dressing is designed to be in direct contact with the wound, which makes it different from a bandage, which is primarily used to hold a dressing in place. Dressings are frequently used in first aid and nursing.

These videos showing how the dressing was done to Kak Long hand 2 weeks after skin grafting operations... Scary.. like snake skin peel off.. with a shed of blood...

Mother's Day

MOTHERS DAY!!?

It make me came into a deep thought. Why are we celebrating mothers day on 10th May every year? Is it the only time we could / should acknowledge them in our life? Day in Day out..they always be there for us.. Sometimes we are happy and laughing together, sometime we are sad and quarreling with each other. What ever condition Mother's love is Unconditional Love.

I received a simple text message from a sister I call Kak Nora.. Her words are simple but I have to really agree with her..

"Salam sister. Once you have your first baby you are a MOTHER. We are the baby sitter, a cook, a driver, a nurse, gardener, teacher, handyman n etc... You name it, we can do it. THATS WHO WE ARE; MOTHERS. For me everyday is mothers day."

Anyway..to all my friend who also a mother...HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Johny's Steamboat

Our next eatery place when hubby was around ... JOHNY'S STEAMBOAT... As I've mention before we will find places outside to find a good food whenever we both meet up.. It has been a while we haven't visit this restaurant.. Well this is 1st time we dine here as a family..though me n hubby both have been dining here with our fellow friends..

Good meal..Healthy as everything were fresh and we only put everything in the boiling soup... and the in house thai sauce...nice and yummy... Can either put the sauce in the soup and it become the Thai Soup (I name it sesaje k) or as a dipping sauce.. As we have our little princess who love to eat but cant eat spicy food.. we use it as a dipping sauce only... Good meal for every generation.. with or without special diet.. Low Fat, Low Carbohidrat (if you decide not to take the rice la k), Low Sodium, Low Colesterol (as the chicken skin also they slice it out...), Less hasle and Less waiting time as you have to cook it yourself (just throw in the hot boiling soup infront of you..) Thanks honey for suggesting this place.. Reasonable price also... We took the set of RM29.90 + 1 drinks + 1 fish noodle + 2 extra vege + GST & Service charge = RM47 ++...

Enjoying the McD ice cream while waiting for our food to be served..


Menu


Oopss.. only manage to snap some of the vege as others already in our tummy...we were sooo hungry..couldn't wait.. until realize that we haven't snap any pictures for the food.. maybe next time we will snap full version k..

Auction Process

Cont...

AUCTION PROCESS

Now let us go through the auction process...

A) Register your name and pay 5-10% deposit

First thing you have to do once arrive at the auction place...it may at auctioneer office, court room, hotels, banquet hall or even PWTC.. Original IC and Bank draft.. Two main things. No money no bidding.

B) Find Your Seat

Step right up and walk straight to the front of the room..and Ignore all other parties. If a property is good, normally there will be a group of people who are working together - quietly known as syndicate- to win the deals for for themselves. They have been known to distract and even sabotage other bidders. So ignore them so they could not distract you.

C) Start Bidding

At the earlier, the auctioneer will state the conditions of sale, i.e rules, reserved price, who are the bidders, amount for price increase and procedures involved before the the auction begins.

D) Stop Bidding when the price goes beyond your budget

As I've mentioned in my earlier post on auction..set your ceiling price and be discipline. If it goes beyond your budget just stop bidding and let the property go. There are a plenty or even thousand of others.. Dont get emotionally touch by the property. You are not here to be sentimental. You are in the money making process. Purely on business.

E) If you win Sign the Sales Contract and pay the balance of the deposit

Once the hammer hits the woood, you are the legal winner of the auction and pls.. you are not allowed to change your mind k..

Step up/out sign the Memorandum at the bottom of the Proclamation of Sale (POS) and balance the deposit as mentioned/paid earlier. Congratulations the property is yours!

THE AFTERMATH

If it is your 1st time of winning an auction, you'd probably be in a cloud nine..dont know what to do...

A) Loan Application

Quickly submit your loan application form to the banks so they can process it a.s.a.p. You only have 90 days to settle the balance of the monies, failing which you will lose both the property and the 10% deposit.

B) Settle the outstanding bills

Chances are 99.9% that the previous owner did not settle the quit rent, assessment tax and utility bills. So you need to go to the relevant offices and get the statement and pay the bills. Good news that you can claim the annual rent and assessement tax from the Seller (court, banks, financial institution..n etc.)

C) Make Repairs

You need to make repairs to the property.. Now this a bit tricky... As mentioned earlier, you are not the legal owner of the property yet untill you settle all the monies. Which means that you cannot enter the property even though it may be empty. But as time is of importance where money is concerned, I've heard stories from my friends about how buyer went in and made the repairs anyway even though he has not settle the full payment.

"But that's not quite right."

"I know." my friends would smile and say.."But who's gonna tell?"

Well I have to admit that they had a point there.

Property Auction

I did mention about property auction in my earlier post. I went for property auction which was held at Equatorial Hotel, KL on the 14th March 2009. Manage to secure 1 low cost apartment at below market price. Reserved price RM38,000. There are 2 bidders + me = 3 bidders. Successfully transacted at RM43,000. Good price as the market price for low cost flat ard there can fetch to RM56,000. Near my parents house so easy to monitor.The process :

1) Search For them

You have to search in many source for any good property that are on auction. You have to get the information 1st. Information is free. You could get it from :

a) Auction notices in Newspaper
b) Auction notices at courthouse, banks, lawyer's office
c) Auctioneers
d) Bank Officers
e) The Internet (the easiest..at a click of a button) ie. www.auctions.com.my
f) Real Estate Agent (like myself huh)

2) Study the property

Hey! its not easy to get a good deal ok.. You have to do some works / study also...

a) Call the Auctioneer or Agent to get more details of the property. Ask :

1) Technical details : how many rooms, bathrooms, size, etc..
2) No of times the property has been auctioned off and prices at those auctions
3) No of people interested or inquiring about the same property. for you to have better idea of the competition.
4) Ask him to fax / email POS - Proclamation Of Sales. It state complete details of the property; the term & conditions, date n venue of Auction

b) Check the title of the property.

Go to land office and do the title search, you have to pay RM20-30 per search. Make sure 1 important thing : NO CAVEAT. Any caveat carry by the property = forget about it. Move on.. Other details to know abt the property; restriction-in-interest, need consent for leasehold..etc... ask agent..

c) View the actual property yourself.

Is it empty or occupied? Empty = Good Occupied = check is it worth bidding. If occupied by : Tenant stay :- Best if tenant willing to vacate the place. If not, ask neighbours about the tenant - any problems, good / bad tenant. If problematic tenant, just walk off. He has the tendacy to stay there and not paying rental which is the worst investors nightmare.
Owner :- U might have to think to walk off also. How if he doesnt want to vacate the house? You gonna face a lengthy process of police report, court order to get him out of the house which means more money to come out...

d) Set The Ceiling Price...Be Discipline

Discipline yourself and set a ceiling price for the property. Make sure it doesnt exceed the ceiling price esp.. market price. Dont ever be soo fool to buy auction property above market price. You are trying to make money out of the auction property..why should you pay above market price? I dont understand sometimes people are too emotionally carried away during the auction process and pay above the market price. Once it touch your ceiling price - walk off. dont wait.

Halal or Non Halal @ Carrefour

We went to buy some food supply from our fav place..Carrefour. When I was choosing some cheese (for both my big n small babies who love cheese alot)..I came to realize one important thing is missing.. there was no halal sign at Carrefour's cheese... I wonder why. When we check on other items nearby.. it seems all imported products which repacked by Carrefour brand are not having Halal tag? Is it a mere mistake or it is a non halal product which obviously mixed together with those which are halal? Arent they should be more sensitive on Halal issue as they have been in Malaysia which is a Muslim country for ages.. and they even plan and already opening more branches nationwide.. Only product which produce in Malaysia and repacked under Carrefour brand have the Halal logo... Like the cheese, it has the superbrand logo.. but Halal? I wonder why....

Any Halal sign on this side?


Any on this side?


This side?


Any?



How about this product? Any Halal sign?


This side? No rite..


This one also dont have


So this... And these 2 products aren't made locally


This which clearly Made in Malaysia has the halal sign eventhough its repackaging under carrrefour brand....

Eating @ Italiannies Sunway Pyramid

When hubby in town...many activities will be happening and created every day... Eating, Outing, Dating, Shopping, Lepaking, surfing, watch movie... and many more... Most of the time when hubby around I'll be minimizing my working schedule. (Cakap jela malas nak buat keje. hikhikhiik..) As my working agenda is very flexible, not tide up with punch in n punch out..so easy to manage la.

Latest we chose to dine in at Italiannies, Sunway Pyramid. As we ordered our meal, we were served with big plate of small bites assorted bread accompany with olive oil & vinegar (I suppose a balsamic vinegar) New experience..eating bread dip in olive oil n vinegar.. Interesting. For the main course we ordered Calamari Salad for me and Chicken Lasagna for hubby.. As their tagline 'Our meal meant for sharing'...its true.. generous portion. I tot of trying their dessert but we both cant...full.. good and tasty meal...only for lasagna the tomato sauce for us too sourish.. if it is a little bit milder then it surely the best lasagna we have had till today.. For the two meals n 1 ice lemon tea (as I usually dont drink much after my meal) it cost us around RM71.00. RM25.90 for the Calamari Salad, RM28.90 for Chicken Lasagna n RM6.90 for Ice Lemon Tea.

Man's 27th Birthday

Not many of us noticed how fast the time flies.

Yesterday we were laughing happily and today we frown and sad.
Yesterday the sun shone brightly and today the rain is just so impatient to pour.
Yesterday remains as memories and today we'll craft more memories to be cherished in the future.

But many of us may have noticed that when you feel the time is limited, you'll get to see, to feel, to appreciate all the things that you're going to loose. yes, it may break your heart painfully, but always, think carefully before you let go. Time is so cruel, letting all the good things go in a split second.but you can't change the fact that time will continue ticking..So appreciate and cherish whatever you have around you now while you have time before it's too late.

At this age I really felt the time flies with no sign... There are lots of thing I have yet to accomplish..lots of experience I have yet to go through.. But the time they just flew..living us behind.

March 15, Man turned 27.. And I am already 30 this year. OMG! I am behind the schedule. I plan many things I shall obtain at this very age..but..

Anyway....

To Man, Happy 27th Birthday!
