Cikgu Ahmad Arselan- BM teacher

Thanks to Affandy for today's message copied as below:-

Dear Edward & fellow Johanians

Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin to all of you.

Just wanted to inform you guys. I'm not sure if you guys could still remember Cikgu Ahmad Arselan, who taught us Bahasa Malaysia during the afternoon session. If I'm not mistaken, he was the Form Teacher for 1O in 1976. Well guys, Cikgu Ahmad Arselan, is now 72 years old. He was recently warded for some neurological complications to his spinal chord. For those of you who may want to pay him a visit, Cikgu Ahmad Arselan is currently bedded at 1st Floor, Room #9 of the Neurological Ward (the entrance greets you with a 2-snake sculptures).

Thank you.

Sincerely

Too lazy to hold the petrol nozzle courts DANGER!

Forwarded by Shanmuga Sundaram.

For you guys who drives and lazy to hold the petrol nozzle.
Please take note.......

A reminder to hold the petrol nozzle at all times.
You guys don't be lazy. Always hold onto the nozzle while filling up.
A friend of mine stopped for petrol somewhere at the Lingkaran Tengah Highway near Gombak a little over two weeks ago.
This was the first time he patronized that station. As his normal practice elsewhere, he put the nozzle on automatic and stood nearby waiting for his car to be filled up.

Suddenly the nozzle flew out of the gas tank opening with petrol spewing
out at high speed.

He was sprayed with petrol all over, including his face and eyes (just
imagine the pain in his eyes).His companion quickly brought him to him toilet to wash his face. After that they reported the incident to the staff and asked to speak to the manager.

The manager refused to see them. He only instructed the staff to take my friend to the hospital.

According to the staff that was not the first time the nozzle came out of the tank while customers are filling up petrol. But my friend's incident was the worst.
The top layer of his right eye was damaged and the area around his eyes suffered burns and had to be bandaged for 10 days. He was lucky that his eyesight was not affected.

Apparently the nozzle was lighter than normal and the speed of the petrol created a backward thrust that pushed the nozzle out of the tank.

There you go, be careful.

Be aware of your surroundings

Yet another close call....

Just sharing what happened around 6.45 am today (6-3-07) to my neighbour. She was driving out of her car porch for her daily routine of sending kids to school. Once she was out of her driveway and when about to go , 4 men on 2bikes passed by her car and these 2 bikes suddenly made a U turn and went to her direction with one of them holding a parang.

Apart from the minor shock, no untoward incident happened because she was very smart as she:

1)had locked all doors BEFORE she left her porch. Some cars have autolock when the brakes are depressed.
2)honked like crazy to attract attention when she saw the weapon thus causing the would be's to move on.

My reminder to others is also when returning to your house esp at night, do look out for suspicios would be's on bikes trailing you WITHOUT their bike lights on. Make a turn, by all means make hell of a many turns around your house if you feel that you are being trailed.

You have heard the saying before, prevention is better than cure.....

Take care Johannians

The passing of Johannian Ho Mun Yee(5Arts 2)

HI Johannians,

No too long after I posted my New Year message, I was told by Mike Pong, Loh Chee Keong and Mak Yee Hong that Mr. Kelvin Ho Mun Yee (5A2) passed away early this morning on New Year's Day after complaining of chest pains and was admitted to a hospital.

This is indeed a very sad start to the new year BUT it is also another wakeup call to buck up on our health.

The wake will be held at the PJ Crematorium, Jalan 222, P.Jaya until 03-01-2007.

God Bless and May You Rest In Forever Peace, Mun Yee - Edward Chan.

Below are shots taken when some of us went to his wake. Clicking on the images enlarges them.




















Heard from close friends that days before Kelvin's departure, he was suffering from typhoid fever and weeks before that he was advising some friends to cut down on unhealthy habits like drinking and smoking.
I suspect that he may be suffering from something but did not open it for discussion with anyone.
In any case I would like to share my experience on a lady sinseh who treats Typhoid Fever ala Eastern style. She is known as Madam Wong Ngoi Kiew and the clinic cum her house is situated in Taman Pertama, Cheras. She could be contacted at 03-92859686.
This is just from my experience with my kids who got treated by her and by no means is a definitive guide to go for eastern methods. Seeing a doctor of your choice is still a priority for any sickness. Take care everyone

Happy New Year Two007

Hi Guys,

To everyone who had sms me with wishes, apologies if I could not reply to all of them but here is wishing everyone good health in everything. I went to Sunway Pyramid to shoot the below on my two wheels and must say that I still have a lot to learn in fireworks photography.

Take Care

Unnoticed Logos With Deep Meanings

Logo: Fedex
I am not sure how many of you have noticed a hidden symbol in the Federal Express logo: I am talking about the 'arrow' that you can see between the E and the x. It was introduced to underscore speed and precision, which are part of the positioning of the company.










Logo: Families and Marriage.
The above are two magazines from the Readers Digest stable. Again, the attempt to communicate what it is about quite figuratively through the logo catches attention.







Logo: Eight
This logo is too good. For the name Eight, they have used a font in which each letter is a minor adaptation of the number 8.







Logo: Eighty 20
Eighty-20 is a small consulting company which does sophisticated financial modeling, as well as some solid database work. All their work is highly quantitative and relies on some serious computational power, and the logo is meant to convey it. People first guess that 20% of the squares are darkened, but that turns out to be false after counting them. The trick is to view the dark squares as 1's and the light squares as 0's. Then the top line reads 1010000 and the bottom line reads 0010100, which represent 80 and 20 in binary.






Logo: Amazon

You might think the arrow does nothing here. But it says that amazon.com has everything from a to z and it also represents the smile brought to the customer's face. Is that deep or what?

Got all the above from a "flying" email and I would really like to thank the guy/gal who first noticed those "below the skin" logos, wherever you are :)

Michael James Stevens - Moving On

Got this a few days ago. Those who are going to Bali now knows that a "Johan of 81" is there. It does not matter whether you knew him or not cos the password is "I am a Johannian"


Dear Friends,

I have left Cocoa Island and Maldives, a beautiful
place which I shall miss very much. I have now been
reassigned by my company to manage two equally beautiful and
multiple awards winning properties in Bali, the COMO Shambhala
Estate at Begawan Giri and Uma Ubud.

My new contact details is as below. Do stay in touch, or better still do
come by for a visit.

Here's wishing you all the very best.

With warmest regards and best wishes,

Cantik Night View Of KL while dining

What: Escape from the city & Experience KL's night view
Where: Menara Tinjau, Hulu Langat
When: 25-11-06
Which: Look Out Point Restaurant & Cafe
Food: Boleh lah
Price: What price? My brother belanja me mah

Got to know about this eatery while surfing at http://rojaks.blogspot.com. Was also told to expect foggy situations but when I was there, there was none. Maybe my big mouth blew them clouds away.
The place is cooling as well as serene as it is situated high on a mountain. The trip from my home in Tmn Maluri, Cheras to the restaurant took about 45 minutes. Reached there at about 6.30 pm, just ngam for some photo taking before darkness sets in.
For a nice and bising-less dinner, I recommend it. And nope, the tauke there did not ask me to blog about this.

Getting there:- (IF you dont know, call me , I will take you there for a LAMB chop, LOL!)
CUKUP mudah untuk mengunjunginya. Jika dari Kuala Lumpur, anda boleh menggunakan Jalan Ampang sehingga ke pekan Ampang. Kira-kira lima kilometer dari situ dan selepas melalui simpang ke Taman Sri Watan, anda akan melalui persimpangan lampu isyarat dan belok ke kanan. Menara Tinjau terletak kira-kira lapan kilometer dari simpang berkenaan.

Jika dari Cheras atau Kajang, anda boleh menggunakan Lebuhraya Cheras–Kajang. Dari situ, gunakan susur keluar Pekan Batu 9. Anda akan sampai di persimpangan lampu isyarat dan awak harus belok ke kiri dan teruskan perjalanan sehingga ke persimpangan lampu isyarat di pekan Batu 14. Belok ke kiri sekali lagi dan Menara Tinjau hanya terletak kira-kira tiga kilometer dari situ.

Welcome Class of 81 Johannians

Hi Guys,

Just last Saturday, while attending Shanmuga's wedding with Loh Chee Keong, he mooted the idea of setting up a blog for our year and walla, now that very idea had been realised.

Come in and share, talk cock but please keep all posts within permissable healthy levels, you know what I mean.... :)

I will post once I have the energy... damn tired after my squash game. Who the heck says that exercise is supposed to refresh us must be nuts, LOL...
