"Iskh..macam mana ni?" rungut Haikal. "Macam mana apanya?" jawab abang Hakim. "Cikgu suruh Haikal buat cerita tentang sahabat baik Haikal. Tapi Haikal tak tau. Iskh..macam mana ni...nanti cikgu marah Haikal.""Tak yahlah nak nangis..kalau nangis kerja rumah tu boleh siap ke?"tanya abang Hakim. "Tapi Haikal tak pandai buat..apa Haikal nak tulis..nanti cikgu suruh baca di depan kelas." "Ok..gini..Haikal nak tulis pasal apa?"....Tak jauh dari meja kerja Haikal, terdengar suara mama mencelah dari dapur, "Hakim, kalau nak bagi ajar kat adik tu, biarlah ikhlas...jangan pulak macam cikgu dengan anak murid...apa adik Haikal faham, dia masih enam tahun. Sungguh dia nak berusaha buat kerja rumah tapi jangan samakan dengan Hakim yang dah 12 tahun." Haikal masih menunjukkan riak wajah kebingungan diselang-seli dengan kerut di dahi.
"Haikal nak buat kerja rumah apa sayang," tanya mama. "Cikgu suruh buat cerita, ni cikgu tulis dalam Communication Book ni, tajuk kerja rumah, sahabat karib saya. Tulis lima ayat sahaja." terang Haikal. "Oh...senang je tu" jawab abang Hakim. "Hakim, pada Hakim memanglah senang sebab Hakim dah lalui pengalaman dari tadika dan sampai sekarang dah darjah enam, jangan pulak nak samakan dengan Haikal yang masih tadika. Itu tak adil namanya. Kalau Hakim meletakkan Haikal dalam kedudukan yang sama dengan Hakim sekarang, maknanya Haikal tu dah terlebih advance, boleh seganding dengan abangnya" Hakim mencebik bibir. "Ha..kalau gitu, kenalah ikut rentak dan tahap adik tu," bebel mama.
Seketika Hakim sibuk membina dan menyusun ayat-ayat dengan Haikal. Mama mengingatkan Hakim untuk tidak menyusun ayat yang terlalu panjang dan haruslah disesuaikan dengan tahap adiknya yang masih di tadika.
"Mama, mama, Haikal dah siap" tunjuk Haikal dengan girangnya "Iye.., cuba bacakan mama nak dengar." Sambil mama sibuk di meja dapur dengan kakak yang sibuk mengupas bawang merah. "Mama dengar ye!" Jerit Haikal. "Ye..mama dengar."
Haikal mula membuka helaian muka surat buku latihan yang telah ditulisnya karangan pendek sebanyak lima ayat tadi. "(1) Saya ada tiga orang sahabat. (2)Nama mereka Ahmad, Abu dan Ali. (3)Mereka tinggal di depan rumah saya. (4) Mereka selalu datang bermain basikal dengan saya. (5) Sahabat saya yang paling baik ialah Ahmad."
"Itu je?" tanya mama. "A..a..cikgu kata lima ayat..adik dah tulis lima ayat cukuplah". kata Haikal. "Betul..lima ayat, tapi apa yang adik terangkan pasal kawan adik?Adik baru je kenalkan nama, tapi apa yang istimewanya tentang kawan adik? Takdepun adik cerita?" terang mama.
"Umm...kawan adik ni baik, dia suka bagi adik baca buku dia, dia suka bawak gula-gula ke sekolah dan kongsi dengan adik, lepas tu dia suka tolong adik kalau ada kawan yang badan besar kacau adik. Cikgu kata Ahmad pandai bercakap. Cikgu pilih dia untuk cakap depan orang masa naik pentas masa konvokesyen nanti. Cikgu dah suruh Ahmad berlatih dah dari sekarang. Adik ikut je dengar Ahmad bercakap depan orang."terang Haikal dengan panjang lebar.
"Kalau gitu, adik Haikal nak kena ubah karangan ni. Sahabat baik adik ialah Ahmad. So..mintak tolong abang tulis semula karangan ni." sambung mama lagi. "Ok" sahut Haikal ceria.
"Sahabat Baik Saya: (1) Saya ada seorang sahabat baik yang bernama Ahmad. (2) Ahmad adalah seorang kawan yang pandai, peramah, suka menolong, suka tersenyum, suka bergurau dan suka membantu cikgu. (3) Selain itu, kalau kawan-kawan yang lain berada di dalam kesusahan contohnya diganggu budak badan besar, Ahmad akan selalu ada untuk membantu menyelamatkan kawan-kawan. (4) Ahmad juga tidak kedekut untuk berkongsi makanan dengan kawan-kawannya supaya semua kawan-kawan dapat makanan yang sama. (5) Saya suka Ahmad sebab dia tidak pernah memarahi saya dan kawan-kawan yang lain kerana baginya kawan yang baik membawa ke syurga".
Sejurus selesai mendengar ayat yang terakhir, hati ini tersentuh dengan ayat-ayat tersebut. Bagaimana mungkin nama sahabat anak ini seakan sama dengan nama sahabat ayahnya. Hati ini bertambah sayu bila sifat sahabat yang diterangkan anak kecil ini menyamai sifat yang ada pada sahabat ayah dan ibunya yang baru sahaja kemballi ke rahmatullah. Sungguh jiwa anak kecil ini yang suci tahu menilai erti sahabat. Bagaimanalah nama yang serupa itu seakan sama dengan tingkah laku yang ada dan sifat semulajadi yang ada pada arwah kawan ayahnya. Tanpa disedari, titisan jernih dari kelopak mata mama menitis tanpa dapat dibendung lagi.
"Nak (anak)..kalau Ahmad jaga adik dengan baik, adik Haikal kena jaga kawan adik dengan baik juga ye."kata-kata mama tersekat-sekat. "Kenapa mama menangis?" tanya Haikal. "Tak..tadi kakak kopek kulit bawang merah, dekat dengan mama, pedih masuk dalam mata mama." "Oooh.." Haikal berlalu pergi dengan gembira.
Sungguh indah karangan pendek seorang anak yang berhati suci menilai sahabat karibnya dari sudut pandangannya yang tersendiri. Anak kecil kalau dihalusi dengan baik, akan tersemat di dalam kalbunya sampai bila-bila bersemadi dalam jiwa betapa sahabat karibnya memang sentiasa diberi perhatian. Kita yang dewasa, akibat kesibukan masing-masing mengejar kehendak dan keperluan hidup masing-masing, tidak sedar betapa kita perlu mengambil tahu akan keadaan dan sering berhubungan dengan insan yang kita anggap karib. Tanpa disedari ALLAH maha pengasih. Maka setelah kembali kepadaNYA, baru kita sedar kita telah kehilangan banyak kesempatan yang ada dek kerana sifat individu masing-masing. Namun kerana kita tahu sahabat itu adalah karib, maka walaupun jauh di mata dan kurang meluangkan masa bersama, kehilangan itu tetap terasa kerana sahabat yang baik adalah sahabat yang sanggup bersama-sama mengharungi kesusahan, berlapar bersama, menangis bersama, gundah-gelana sehingga bersama melepasi tahap susah tersebut. Itulah kenangan terindah bersama seorang SAHABAT. AL-FATIHAH untuk AHMAD BIN KASMAN.

Pertukaran Udara (Air Change) Dulu dan kini..bukannya..Dulu, Kini dan Selamanya
Jam di dinding dah menunjukkan pukul 12.30 pagi. Udara masih membahang, panas dan rimas. Sesekali terdengar kereta lalu di jalan belakang halaman rumah, bersama desiran malam. Kesian aku melihatkan anak-anakku yang tertidur di sofa dan di lantai ruang menonton tv. Tiga unit kipas ligat berputar. Aku sengaja tidak memasang air-cond untuk ruang tamu bagi mengelakkan mereka terbiasa dengan sejuk udara buatan manusia. Daun tingkap dikuak sedikit biar dapat terasa udara pagi yang dingin. Namun aku masih menunggu bilakah agaknya dingin pagi itu menjelma.
"Cuit, cuit, cuit," indahnya bunyi siulan burung malam. Entah burung apa namanya, akupun sukar nak mengenal pasti waima aku bukanlah seorang "ecologist", "Huh, agaknya burungpun tak lena tidur," detik hatiku, "...padahal burung tu buta malam...umm..bukan ke burung tu sejenis haiwan dalam kelompok ayam, maknanya dia mestilah buta macam ayam di waktu malam," kritik aku seorang diri.."..macam mana pulak burung tu boleh terbang mencari tempat sejuk..."Ah..biarlah.." bisik hati kecilku keseorangan.."Jangan..jangan..!!!!" "Eh..merepek pulak aku sorang-sorang malam buta ni"..
"Hmm, aku cemburu dengan masa" bisik hatiku. Kalau dulu dalam arena perbahasan di zaman sekolah menengah, aku sering menutup tirai perbahasan dengan ayat "Disebabkan MASA amat mencemburui saya, maka saya sudahi dengan...bla...bla..bla"..Eleh...manalah ada masa tu punya perasaan. Ha..sekarang akulah manusia yang mencemburui masa. Mana tidaknya, dulu aku tidur di dalam kelambu, di atas tilam empuk kekabu, lena diselaputi kain selimut perca yang Emak dan Mak Uda Muan jahit sedepa dua depa. Udara sejuk yang dingin bukan hanya di luar beranda rumah malah menyelinap masuk melalui celah dinding papan rumah dan celah lantai papan yang jarang.
Sekarang anak-anakku langsung tak pernah merasa kesejukan dan keenakan yang aku alami di zaman kanak-kanak aku dulu. Dulu aku tidur tak pernah ada kipas. Nak diperdengarkan perkataan "air-cond" pun aku tak pernah lihat sehinggalah aku masuk ke dunia universiti. Di sekolah rendah, sekolah menengah, di Kolej Abdillah, di asrama puteri, semuanya menggunakan kipas. Oops maaf, di sekolah rendah tak pernah ada kipas."Kenapa?" Sebab sekolah rendah ku tidak disimbahi dengan panas matahari. Suasana pagi yang nyaman sehingga pukul 11.30 pagi begitu menyeronokkan untuk penerimaan minda kanak-kanak belajar dan memberikan tumpuan di dalam kelas. Tambah lagi dinding kelasku cuma dinding papan separuh, bukannya macam zaman sekarang ditutupi konkrit penuh sebilik dan dipasang tingkap kaca (frame- window pans). Kelas aku dulu tak ada tingkap, sebab dinding papan, itu pun cuma selang dua-tiga keping papan sebagai penutup pandangan dari gangguan luar..Ha..baru aku ingat... Macam kelas P.Ramlee, Sudin dan Ajis dalam cerita pendekar bujang lapok. Tapi yang syoknya, angin dari luar segar terus menghembus ke dalam kelas tanpa apa-apa penghadang. Itu yang bestnya. Maknanya NATURAL VENTILATION.
Sekarang anak-anakku sering mengeluh, "Mama, tak cukup tidurlah, tak sedap badan, panas dan rimas, walaupun pakai kipas," Dan kataku pula.."Bukalah tingkap, biar angin malam menyejukkan suasana bilik." Jawab anakku "Masih panas jugak, angin malam pun panas, dahlah bising bunyi kereta," Kesian anak mama, manalah boleh disamakan dengan suhu sekitaran yang ada pada zaman aku dulu tambah lagi itu di kampung, dan sekarang kita di bandar.
Kalau dulu mama bukan hanya dapat merasa sejuk malam, malah bintang di langitpun mama dapat lihat acapkali tak dapat lenakan mata, pasti mata mencari punca cahaya buat penghibur sehingga lena. "Kat mana nak nampak bintang tu mama" tanya anak kecilku. "Dulu rumah nenek sering terdapat lubang atap yang bocor, Dan kalau lubang tu tak jatuh pada lekuk atap zink pada aliran air hujan, maka atuk tak tampal. Jadi cahaya bulan atau cahaya bintang, tak banyakpun sedikit, akan sayup-sayup nampak bayang sinarannya melepasi lubang bocor tu. Dulu mama tidur takde lampu tidur, pelita semua dipadamkan sebab takut terbakar kelambu. Maknanya mama tidur dalam gelap. Bukan macam anak mama sekarang, ada lampu jalan yang terang benderang, ada lampu tidur neon yang jingga warnanya, dan paling tidak pun ada lampu rumah jiran sebelah yang terpasang.
Tapi yang tak syoknya, udara dalam rumah kita terasa bahang. Tau kenapa? "Kenapa mama?" Tanya anak manjaku, Haikal. Aku cuba menerangkan. Suhu rumah kita jadi panas membahang sebab tidak ada peredaran udara yang melibatkan pertukaran udara. Udara dalam sebuah rumah ni sepatutnya sentiasa bertukar. "Macam mana nak bagi udara bertukar, mama? Mana kita nampak udara. Bukannya macam tukar baju." ngomel dia lagi macam tak puas hati. "Memanglah tak macam tukar baju, maksud bertukar tu adalah bersilih ganti dengan pergerakan udara baru, ok..macam ni..contohnya, kalau pintu di depan rumah terbuka, kita kena buka juga satu ruang terbuka yang lain, contohnya, tingkap atau pintu belakang rumah. Jadi, bila udara bergerak masuk dari arah hadapan rumah, aliran udara itu akan bergerak ke arah di mana ia akan pergi untuk mencari laluan keluar (apa makna nya ni...bertukar tekanan udara...yang bab ni saya tak terangkan pada anak sebab terlalu tinggi fenomena tekanan udara untuk difahami anak ku yang masih kecil seumur 6 tahun)".
"Mari haikal, mama tunjukkan kesan pergerakan udara pada Haikal" aku memimpin anakku ke muka depan pintu. "Ingat tau, pergerakan udara maksudnya ada angin, cuba Haikal berdiri depan pintu, ada rasa angin tiup tak?" Sebentar Haikal menyedut nafas menghirup udara, kononnya menunjukkan reaksi demonstrasi merasa dan menyedut udara. "Terasa tak rambut Haikal bergerak?" Tanya ku. "A..a..lah mama, rambut Haikal ada terbang sikit-sikit di tiup angin,"..katanya dengan riang. "Ha..itu ada angin masuk ke dalam rumah walaupun Haikal tak nampak." "Kalau angin ada masuk, maknanya ada juga angin yang akan keluar, kalau kita buka pintu dapur." kataku. "Kalau macam tu janganlah buka pintu dapur mama, supaya angin tu tinggal dalam rumah je, biar angin tu tak lari, nanti boleh sejuk" alahai..anakku ini...betul jugak apa yang dia cakap, kalau tak diterangkan sekarang, habis melencong ke lain pulak konsep yang dia nak bawa sampai dewasa nanti.
"Tak boleh sayang, kita kena buka pintu dapur, bagi angin tu lalu, supaya angin tu tiup semua yang panas dan bawa keluar dari rumah kita melalui tingkap dan pintu dapur.".."Apa yang panas dalam rumah ni mama?" tanya Haikal. "Haikal tak nampakpun bibik hidupkan api dapur, takdepun mana-mana api dalam rumah, Ha..tengok-tengok..mana ada api?" (Ye, memang betul anakku, bukan sumber api yang jadi puncanya rumah kita panas. Tapi udara pernafasan (Carbon dioxide- green house gas) kita yang terkepung dalam rumah konkrit ni, hawa panas dari sinaran matahari (UV-rays), dan wap air yang terampai di udara (relative humidity) dalam zon pernafasan kita)...ADUI.susahnya aku nak terangkan pada anak kecil ni..!!!!
Aku terputus idea sejenak.."Ok...cuba Haikal tutup mulut dan hidung Haikal guna telapak tangan, bernafas macam biasa, hembus nafas, terasa tak kat tangan, Haikal rasa apa?" tanyaku.."Haikal rasa suam lah mama?" jawabnya ringkas.."Apa yang suam?"tanya ku lagi.."Angin dari hidung Haikal" jawab Haikal. "Ha..kan betul kata mama..maknanya Haikal pun boleh mengeluarkan angin panas dari hidung. Dalam rumah ni ada berapa orang?" tanyaku. "Ada ayah, mama, kakak, abang, Nadia, Nuin dan bibik." sambil dia menghitung guna jari jemarinya "Ada tujuh orang," sebut Haikal. "Betul ke tujuh?" tanya ku lagi. "Betul tujuh ni?" ulangku lagi. Haikal mengangguk kepala. "Haikal mana?" tanyaku. "Eh.eh..tambah satu lagi..Haikal..jadi lapan" jawabnya.
"Ha, kalau Haikal seorang dah boleh keluarkan angin panas melalui hidung tadi, maknanya ada lapan orang dalam rumah ni mengeluarkan udara yang panas. Apa akan terjadi kalau kita tutup pintu, tutup tingkap, dan tutup pintu dapur?".."RUMAH JADI MAKIN PANAS MAMA," jawab Haikal dengan senyum.."So, maknanya kita perlu selalu = BUKA PINTU DAN TINGKAP, supaya udara panas keluar dibawa angin pergi" tutur Haikal serentak dan senada dengan kata-kataku.
"Cuit, cuit, cuit," indahnya bunyi siulan burung malam. Entah burung apa namanya, akupun sukar nak mengenal pasti waima aku bukanlah seorang "ecologist", "Huh, agaknya burungpun tak lena tidur," detik hatiku, "...padahal burung tu buta malam...umm..bukan ke burung tu sejenis haiwan dalam kelompok ayam, maknanya dia mestilah buta macam ayam di waktu malam," kritik aku seorang diri.."..macam mana pulak burung tu boleh terbang mencari tempat sejuk..."Ah..biarlah.." bisik hati kecilku keseorangan.."Jangan..jangan..!!!!"

Brain Wiring Going Damage...most of us at this stage
I was so stunned by this email send to me last month. And it strike my attention. Some cases below sound familiar to me and it is actually happened to me..(lets see what the letter content)
Is Your Brain Wiring Going Haywire?
Dear, Harimah
Many of us joke about "senior moments." But when they start occurring more than occassionally, they're not funny at all. They're frustrating, embarrassing, and perhaps even worrisome.
It's so ironic. Just when you've got all this wisdom and experience under your belt, your brain is no longer "old reliable." You never know when you're faltering mind is going to trip you up, frustrate you, embarrass you, or make you wonder if you're starting to lose your marbles.
The good news is, scientists just discovered what causes these frequent memory lapses--and how to stop them fast...
Researchers at Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, UCLA, and other top universities recently discovered three hidden triggers that cause frequent memory lapses and mental decline. They're the missing link scientists have been seeking for years!
And thanks to a new breakthrough, it's now possible to switch off these hidden triggers--and even reverse years of brain aging. That means you can enjoy a "steel trap" memory, crystal-clear thinking, and laser-like focus--in just 30 days or even less.
Learn more?..
The explanation continue...
You know what it’s like to forget a name, misplace your keys, or lose your train of thought. Now scientists know why these memory lapses happen: they’re due to a common brain-wiring snafu that starts in middle age.
This brain-wiring snafu makes it harder to send vital messages from one part of your brain to another. Somewhere along the line, they get hopelessly lost. And suddenly, you can’t remember for the life of you where you parked your car.
So what makes your brain wiring go haywire? Scientists believe it all has to do with the white matter that protects nerves, called myelin.
Myelin is like the rubber that covers electrical wires. If the rubber wears down and the wires become exposed, they fray and become damaged. Once this happens, they don’t conduct electricity as well.
The same thing happens with myelin in your brain. Myelin protects your nerves, so messages can travel along them without getting corrupted, scrambled, or diverted along the way. But the problem is, myelin starts to wear out as you get older.
According to UCLA researchers, as myelin deteriorates, nerve fibers begin to fray. These frayed nerves don’t transmit messages as well. As a result, you become more and more forgetful.
But that’s not the only reason your
memory begins to fail you…
memory begins to fail you…
To add insult to injury, you also produce fewer neurotransmitters as you age. Neurotransmitters are brain chemicals needed to promote memory, enhance learning, and calm your mind so you can concentrate. They’re the fuel your brain needs to run.
When the myelin in your brain starts to wear out, you produce fewer neurotransmitters. That’s because you only make these vital brain chemicals whenever a brain cell receives a message. If your brain cells aren’t receiving messages due to worn-out myelin, you’re not going to make enough neurotransmitters.
This means you’re stuck with worn-out myelin AND a deficiency of neurotransmitters, often by the time you hit middle age. So what does this cruel combination do to your memory and thinking?
Harvard researchers prove
“double whammy” effect
“double whammy” effect
Harvard University researchers wanted to look at the effects of these brain-wiring changes. So they studied a group of younger and older adults between the ages of 18 to 93. They had the adults perform various tests on memory, thinking, and learning.
But that’s not all. The researchers also took pictures of the people’s brains using a test similar to an MRI. They found the older adults had more myelin damage and fewer neurotransmitters than the younger adults did.
So not surprisingly, the older adults’ brains didn’t transmit messages as well. This explains why they didn’t score as high on the memory tests as the younger adults.
So not surprisingly, the older adults’ brains didn’t transmit messages as well. This explains why they didn’t score as high on the memory tests as the younger adults.
If you want to stay mentally sharp as you age, it’s crucial to maintain healthy myelin and produce plenty of neurotransmitters. I’ll tell you how you can do both in a moment. But first, let me tell you about another brain change that affects your memory…(Harimah comment: Note that there are lots of chemicals that are known to be hazard to human health. But some of us didn't even know about it. You are lucky if you are a chemist, but for those are not in this line, this is merely a basic intro on the hazardous chemicals to our health..lot more to dig!)
Perasaan si ibu dan keletah anak
Alangkah seronoknya perasaan si ibu bila melihat anaknya yang comel mula bertatah, berjalan jatuh setelah sekian lama merangkak. Sebulan kemudian si kecil mula main kejar-kejaran..ah..comelnya anakku ini...pandai pulak main sembunyi-sembunyi di sebalik kusyen yang empuk sementalahan badannya yang kecil molek cukup muat menyelit di celah-celah kerusi dan sofa, kemudian berlari terkedek-kedek meloloskan diri dari tangkapan si ibu. Sejenak ibu terkekeh-kekeh ketawa diselangi gelak tawa comel si anak yang cuba mengelak dari tangkapan ibu. Lagi menambah kan riuhnya suasana, si kecil menaikkan dua tangan ke belakang sambil badannya membongkok ke depan.."Apa ni Nuin!?...,Mama.. mama..tengok Nuin mama..adik Nuin lari macam Penguin" Jerit si abang Haikal. Si ibu tak dapat menahan gelak, ikut serta menghilai tawa. Seketika suasana hiruk dengan tawa, si kecil cuba berlari laju menjerumuskan diri dalam pelukan si ibu. "Sayang Mama..sayang mama.." Sikecil Nuin mengosongkan pipi minta diciumi si ibu. "Oh...alangkah seronoknya aku menjadi ibu yang mempuyai anak-anakyang sihat cergas begini." Sedetik dalam hati.."Syukur Alhamdulillah"

Gerobok baru kat rumah baru..gerobok baru punca cancer
Hai seronoknya nak masuk rumah baru. Dalam keseronokan itu terdetik pulak dalam hati. Banyak kerja nak buat ni. Lalang nak dicabut. Lantai berabuk nak kena cuci. Silap haribulan nak kena samak. Bekalan air dan elektrik nak kena pergi daftar. Talian talipon dan internet tak boleh dilupa. Karang merajuk pulak anak-anak bila talian internet takde. "Duduk kat tempat canggih tapi takde line internet, serupa jugak duduk kat dalam hutan" itu yang selalu diomel anak bujang saya.
"Macam mana ni mama? Rumah ni kosong, takde perabut ni. Nak kena decide konsep apa kita nak guna as our ID." Itulah yang jadi topik yang sering diajukan oleh suami. "Saya lebih suka kalau takde perabot. Biar ruang tamu tu lapang, senang Nurin dan Haikal nak berlari keliling rumah." Itu pendapat peribadi saya.
"Bilik tidur ni nak ikut konsep apa mama?" tanya suami. "Yang penting bagi saya, bersih, kemas, tak ade bahan berbahaya, dan suasana sihat dan nyaman untuk tidur". "Ha..tambah lagi satu..saya taknak gerobok kayu yang teramat baru". Ujar si isteri pada suami. "Takkan lah kita nak beli gerobok second hand pulak. Tak kena lah dengan standard." Rungut suami. "Maksud saya, saya tak nak gerobok kayu yang berbau baru..macam orang selalu kata 'bau cina'". Terang si isteri. "mana ada gerobok kayu baru yang tak berbau..dah tentulah baru..mestilah berbau baru. Itu barulah bukti gerobok tu baru." tingkah suami pulak.
"Abang, sebenarnya kalau nak diikutkan..untuk keselamatan anak-anak kita yang kecil seumur 1 tahun, 5 tahun, malah remaja sekalipun, termasuk diri kita sendiri,...tak elok terdedah dengan bau baru gerobok kayu tu. Biarpun bau tu macam syok dan menghayalkan, tapi sebenarnya bau tu adalah bahan pengawet untuk kayu. Kalau mama nak sebut, bahan kimia yang terbebas dari kayu-kayu tu sebenarnya "formaldehyde" iaitu bahan pengawet kayu supaya kayu tu tahan lama dan tak diserang anai-anai ataupun serangga perosak yang lain." Aku menerangkan dengan kesungguhan. "..nak mama terangkan lebih lanjut?...suami cuma mengerutkan dahi.."emm..apa kesannya.?"
"Formaldehyde ni sebenarnya satu bahan kimia yang boleh meruap (volatile) dan merupakan satu bahan kimia yang bersifat mendatangkan kesan barah (carcinogenic) kepada manusia yang terdedah sama ada terhadap cecair atau wapnya. Dalam ertikata sebenar, kesan wap (volatile) formaldehyde tersebut lebih cepat bertindak ke atas sistem tubuh badan kita sehingga mendatangkan kesan ke seluruh sistem badan. Carcinogenic tu maksudnya bahan-bahan yang mendatangkan cancer (barah)."
"SO.?!...Kalau abang nak beli jugak gerobok kayu..macam mana? Sebelum ni tak de pun orang bagi tau..bukan abang je tak tau..ramai orang yang kat luar sana tak tau...Ha..kalau abang nak beli jugak..apa kita nak buat kalau nak elakkan kesan cancer tu" Suami berkeras dan sinis.
"Kalau macam tu..abang suruhlah kedai perbot tu buat OFF-GASSING". jawab si isteri mudah.
"OFF-GASSING?..Apa menatang tu?" suami lagi mengerut dahi...
Si isteri senyum sinis..dalam hati.."banyak nak kena bagi paham kat suami aku ni...baik aku ajar dia dulu..biar paham bebenar...aku tak nak gerobok tu terperap bawa bau formaldehyde dalam rumah...tambah Nurin terlalu kecil dan Haikal pun sering sensitif dengan udara yang tak bersih..apatah lagi dengan formaldehyde..tak nak aku mendedahkan mereka pada bahaya...Ok..nanti saya terangkan dengan suami..apa maknanya "off-gassing".
"Macam mana ni mama? Rumah ni kosong, takde perabut ni. Nak kena decide konsep apa kita nak guna as our ID." Itulah yang jadi topik yang sering diajukan oleh suami. "Saya lebih suka kalau takde perabot. Biar ruang tamu tu lapang, senang Nurin dan Haikal nak berlari keliling rumah." Itu pendapat peribadi saya.

"Maksud saya, saya tak nak gerobok kayu yang berbau baru..macam orang selalu kata 'bau cina'". Terang si isteri. "mana ada gerobok kayu baru yang tak berbau..dah tentulah baru..mestilah berbau baru. Itu barulah bukti gerobok tu baru." tingkah suami pulak.
"Abang, sebenarnya kalau nak diikutkan..untuk keselamatan anak-anak kita yang kecil seumur 1 tahun, 5 tahun, malah remaja sekalipun, termasuk diri kita sendiri,...tak elok terdedah dengan bau baru gerobok kayu tu. Biarpun bau tu macam syok dan menghayalkan, tapi sebenarnya bau tu adalah bahan pengawet untuk kayu. Kalau mama nak sebut, bahan kimia yang terbebas dari kayu-kayu tu sebenarnya "formaldehyde" iaitu bahan pengawet kayu supaya kayu tu tahan lama dan tak diserang anai-anai ataupun serangga perosak yang lain." Aku menerangkan dengan kesungguhan. "..nak mama terangkan lebih lanjut?...suami cuma mengerutkan dahi.."emm..apa kesannya.?"
"Formaldehyde ni sebenarnya satu bahan kimia yang boleh meruap (volatile) dan merupakan satu bahan kimia yang bersifat mendatangkan kesan barah (carcinogenic) kepada manusia yang terdedah sama ada terhadap cecair atau wapnya. Dalam ertikata sebenar, kesan wap (volatile) formaldehyde tersebut lebih cepat bertindak ke atas sistem tubuh badan kita sehingga mendatangkan kesan ke seluruh sistem badan. Carcinogenic tu maksudnya bahan-bahan yang mendatangkan cancer (barah)."
"SO.?!...Kalau abang nak beli jugak gerobok kayu..macam mana? Sebelum ni tak de pun orang bagi tau..bukan abang je tak tau..ramai orang yang kat luar sana tak tau...Ha..kalau abang nak beli jugak..apa kita nak buat kalau nak elakkan kesan cancer tu" Suami berkeras dan sinis.
"Kalau macam tu..abang suruhlah kedai perbot tu buat OFF-GASSING". jawab si isteri mudah.
"OFF-GASSING?..Apa menatang tu?" suami lagi mengerut dahi...
Si isteri senyum sinis..dalam hati.."banyak nak kena bagi paham kat suami aku ni...baik aku ajar dia dulu..biar paham bebenar...aku tak nak gerobok tu terperap bawa bau formaldehyde dalam rumah...tambah Nurin terlalu kecil dan Haikal pun sering sensitif dengan udara yang tak bersih..apatah lagi dengan formaldehyde..tak nak aku mendedahkan mereka pada bahaya...Ok..nanti saya terangkan dengan suami..apa maknanya "off-gassing".

WHO can teach me using calculator?
I have been introduced to this machine since I was 16 years old. Why? To prepare myself for mod math (modern mathematic). As far as I'm concern, I get excellent in math is good enough. I never thought that I have to be so good in using this machine.
These days I used microsoft excel program as my main media to do calculation - for profit and lost, budgetary, cost analysis, even bonus and incentives. When it comes to money matters, excel is my solutions. Never thought that I'm going to use this small machine.
But now, when I need to sit for my professional exam, the exam using prometric ways, paperless and completely computer screen for question and answer. However, to my surprise, we are allowed to use scientific calculators to get the result from the technical questions. No paper to scatch, there is nothing there for me to do rough calculation, no pen or pencils, nothing on the desk except calculator that is allowed to bring in. To me, this calculator, oh no!!...no.!!.no!!..no!!..its a nightmare to me!!...
Mummy...who can teach me to use this calculator...I totally forgot the function, All I can remember that the "SHIFT" and the color code that similar with "Shift" color will give the function we want. What if the color code change? and what happen if the mode also change?! My godness..I'm lost..I need to go for tuition for this..I need a tutor..for CALCULATOR..

HEART TO HEART
Heart to heart..(Hati ke Hati)..and this is not about love story.
It's about how we nurture our heart. I have learn to be a follower during my childhood. A follower to my older brothers, to my older sisters, how they behave at school, how they became famous at school at college and at universities. But I realised that I'm not alike them. I'm definitely not like them. My behavious, my principle, my character, my look or appearance, and even my complexion. Somehow I get used to be called as "hei...pepper farm chinese girl (anak cina kebun lada)". At first, it is hurt..but when I think..what is actually make me different.. so I start thinking..well it is because my complexion. But of course, girl is still girl, am start thinking and start making my own judgement. "AM I ADOPTED?" "NO!" said my mom. By looking at her serious face, I know I'm her biological daughter. "Why worry" I told myself, so long I have my mom and my dad there, they are my actual parent, nothing compare to that, so why worry, and I'm not adopted, it is just this girlish thinking and prejudice that I need to throw far away from my mind. And I start telling myself, you are lucky to have brothers and sisters who are always success in their exam, they are all smart and bright kids of my parent, and for sure I'll be like them. That's what my relatives said. Nothing else matter except my future. Start MOTIVATING myself, I'm sure to be success..now I must plant the seed from my age of fifteen (15) and time to go for SRP. Show it and prove it..YES..YES..YES.. I did it.
Next..go to College. Orientation at college teriblly give me heartache. HEARTACHE. "Hei.girl..why are you so much different that your sisters?..You didn't even look like your Brother's!" .."You are..so..so..different!" Those words came out from people who knew my brothers and sisters as they are so famous in college during their time..Senior times...But they are in universities now, I'm here alone facing the seniors who trying to take revenge on me. I do not know what are the things happened before. I'm going to face it. No matter how I'm not related to the things happened before. I'm here because I'm selected to be here. Not because my brothers and sisters are here before. Again I must nurture my heart to be open. Open my mind. Let it be. Things will smoothly go as time goes by. Make friends with them. Try to be part of their world. Get to know them. At last, I'm leading the group as the Head Girl, Head Unit, Room Head ..bla..bla..bla..whatever.
Matriculation result to university, oops to Sabah. There we go. Four years in UKM Sabah brought all the good memories. The fourth year is the most challenging year. Tension is always in the air. ONe who can controlled their emotion, exploded in many reaction and ways. This period of time that we actually happened to bump in situation that reveal who is really a friend in need and indeed, or just merely friend when you are happy or even friend turn their leaves over to become enemy just because of the word jealuosy. But again, I told myself, maybe they are too young to judge and sometime at the wrong place and the wrong time, the judgement is not being assessed by considering all perspective and definitely its just rumours and emotion. But to me, no heart feeling, good things will reveal. I'm not afraid of facing them as I do not have any bad intention at all to them. They are still my friends.
Graduated Convokesyen...Congratulation..its graduation...la..la..la.la.la..la......
Oh no ..I got to pursue for my education diploma. Why? Because of my bursary award. It's a contract that I need to fulfilled. But thank you so much to Yayasan Sarawak Scholarship. I manage my dip ed with flying colours. I made friends while in Bangi. I stayed at rented house. Two times move out due to overcrowd. Meet this landlord of mine at that time who is still single. Made friend with her but at one point I don't really understand why she is being sarcastic and send us out to find other place to stay. Maybe there is something wrong with my colleague that hurt her feeling of maybe something that I did that made her sour. But of course, off we go and find other place to stay. Again, I don't want to bring the bad memory, I must go for good deeds, cherish everything.
Out of university, I decided not to become a teacher. .while my sisters are all teachers and brothers are lecturers, teachers, counsellor, simple to say..most of them in education line. Love my work as consultant till now..love to meet people..love to share lots of things, and of course..our life is like a wheel. Sometimes it is up and sometimes it is down. Last year my wheel is in a short while stay at the bottom position, But at this position I can see my friends from the past 30 years, meet them and see how they have success in their life, as a barber, as a restaurant owner, a fishmonger, a butcher, a postman, a soldier, a baker, teachers (of course), a policeman, and a housewife. At this point of time, I feel so blessed. Back to my house in KL, I met all my friends in this consultancy line, and tell them the story that wherevere we are, what ever we do, do it with all our heart, be excellent and the success will follow.

Is Your Home Healthy?
Quote from American Home Maintenance Inc.
"When it comes to understanding poor indoor air quality, no one knows Arizona’s homes better than American Home Maintenance. Even with the wealth of information available to show that your house may be making you sick, some families don’t understand just how important indoor air quality can be. The EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health. Their studies show that indoor levels of many pollutants may be 2 to 5 times worse than outdoor air. Some showed up to 100 times worse!
With nearly 1 in 13 school age children suffering from Asthma, and more than 15 Million Americans who suffer from its effects, the quality of the air you breathe is more important than ever. Because they breathe faster than adults, children inhale 50% more air per pound of body weight and are especially sensitive to air quality problems.
Harvard School of Public Health reported toxic levels of gasses and compounds in 100% of the homes they tested. These bacteria, viruses and toxic gases can make us feel sick and increase the spread of illness. According to a study by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, indoor air contaminants are responsible for half of all illnesses. With study after study showing the same information, we at American Home Maintenance decided to do something about it."
This case is now happen in Malaysia. But we are yet to know about this scenario and it's just started with the Industry Code of Practice of Indoor Air Quality for Office. What about our own house? We didn't really aware about it.
The different with our country is that our weather is not similar to America. We are facing high or sometimes very high relative humidity (RH) compared to America. And this is the challenge that we need to overcome in relation to temperature control (air condition installation) at each house in Malaysia.

Asbestos cause cancer?
Before we go into detail for the answer on the above question, just look around you. Your kids, your house, your pets if you have any, your bed, your dining room, your closet, your wardrobe, your kitchen, bla..bla..bla..Where do you think that you can find this asbestos?.
We are not "FREE" yet from this carcinogenic agent. A type of fibre that can cause "CANCER" without you notice it. You sleep on top of it? You sit on it? You inhale the air full of it? YOU DON"T EVEN KNOW!!!
Now what..let me tell you something about it. Based on research, I mean technical research which has been done by those modern countryies(U State, UK, Japan, Korea etc), asbestos is confirm as cancernogic to human. Confirm can cause cancer to human,. but why we didn't even educate our people here?
Schools? Primary Schools? Secondary Schools? University? KINDERGARTEN? Those little ones are the most susceptible. And of course the airborne content asbestos is confirm exist where the building age is more than 40 years (same as my age). Which means at those years, (1970s to 1980s) our building structure is confirm containing what we call ACM (Asbestos Contained Material).
So what should we do now? First thing first:
(1) Get more info about it (asbestos)
(2) How to avoid it (asbestos). Which means how to ensure that the air we breathe does not contain the ACM. But how? The answer is "DON'T DISTURB IT". The bulk (solid) material of asbestos will not harm you unless it is wear and tear and expose certain friable surface which will release the fibre to become airborne.
(3) If you wish to do some demolition. Please study the buidling structure first whether it's contain asbestos or not. And if YES..what you should do....
(4) Call those professional people to handle it. (Because when you deal with asbestos, you got to use proper protection to avoid inhaling the fibre. Demolishing of a building with ACM contribute to hazardous environment which at one point need you to isolate the area or the building (Encapsulating the building) from releasing the fibre into the air and blown by the wind to certain radius of area which at the end spreading all over the area and create hazards to all people within that proximity.
(5) Where to get advise? If your building is a working space building - refer to DOSH and DOE. But if your building is an apartment / housing estate (own by stakeholder) - report to the owner and discuss about the ACM issue. If your building is an institution, discuss with your safety committee (e.g: university safety committee), but if your bulding is a school - go and discuss with the PIBG, - or maybe can call myself to elaborate and give the awareness program to your school organisation.
(6) If you are the owner of your own house, then get the info from the Ministry of Housing or the Property Development. What about old house in kampung own by old folks? We hope that the offspring will convey the message that I wrote here as reference. Do study a bit about this potential cancer cause contaminants in the air.
Jangan bertangguh sehingga kesan luka di dalam paru-paru boleh menyebabkan keradangan paru-paru yang memberi kesan darah bila mangsa mengalami sakit dada dan batuk. Dan ketika itu sudah terlewat, dan hendaknya janganlah dikaitkan pula dengan jampi sumpahan dan buatan orang.
Sama-sama kita bertindak segera. ACT NOW.

ASBESTOS - DON'T Take It Easy
If I were to start a pop quiz, I think my dad and my mom can answer my simple question. What's is asbestos mom? "There at the ceiliing". What is asbestos dad? "Our roof!" Well we are sleeping soundly every night covered by asbestos. It's ok, we are safe. So long we didn't disturb the asbestos structure. Why?
I will tell you why. Asbestos does not harm anybody if the bulk or the solid asbestos is remain in its normal safe and stable structure. But if you disturb the pieces, or if some part of the asbestos is tear off, or accidentally ruins, which tend to expose the fibre of the asbestos (in BM we call it "serat asbestos"), then the potential hazards is introducing the fibre to become airborne. Inhaling the airborne contaminant containing asbestos will likely to cause the person to get the asbestosis.
What is asbestosis? It a Pulmonary fibrosis and Interstitial pneumonitis - from asbestos exposure. It cause scar tissue (fibrosis) to form inside the lung. Scarred lung tissue does not expand and contract normally, and cannot perform gas exchange.
The fact about asbestos:
(i) More than 3000 people in United State die each year of asbestos related diseases
(ii) It has latent effect
(iii) All types of asbestos can be dangerous if inhaled
(iv) Risk are increase by smoking
(v) The more asbestos fibers breathed in, the greater th erisk to health
(vi) No present cure
So..my friend, it sound scarry...Tak Takut ke?

Indoor Air Quality affect Children's Health
Please read through.Baca dengan teliti apa yang nak dikongsi di sini.
Sudah menjadi lumrah kebanyakan kita tidak menyangka bahawa kualiti udara dalaman ("indoor air quality") dalam rumah kita especially yang didesign ala-ala barat adalah lebih mendatangkan mudarat dari sihat.
Ini kerana kita taksub dengan kehadiran "air-cond" yang menyejukkan. Rata-rata berpendapat "sejuk" bermakna "nyaman" dan "selesa" (feel comfortable)..tapi ramai yang tak menyangka bahawa suhu yang di cipta turun kadang-kadang mencecah 19deg C, sebenarnya memudaratkan kita.
Julat (range)suhu yang sesuai dijamin untuk kesihatan manusia yang telah dikaji dan diselidik adalah dalam julat 23 - 26 deg C dengan kelembapan udara relatif (relative humidity- RH) sebanyak 40 -70%.
Malangnya, sudahlah negara kita beriklim panas dan lembap yang kadang kala mencecah RH = 90%, tapi ada pulak insan-insan yang tidak tahu, meletakkan pula sumber-sumber air di dalam kediaman yang akhirnya menyebabkan RH memenuhi peratusan yang lengkap sehingga 100% dalam keseluruhan ruang rumah di tambah lagi dengan suhu yang diturunkan. "Masaalah..."
Ok..bercerita tentang IAQ, kenapa saya berminat..sebab ramai ibu bapa yang tak sedar kesannya terhadap anak kecil. Di sini saya petik dari terbitan kajian luar negara untuk kita jadikan renungan.
Analysis of data from a national sample of 17,110 children ages zero to 17 years indicate that all children living in urban settings are at increased risk for asthma (Aligne et al 2000).
Public housing, especially apartment homes in urban settings, is more likely to have cockroach, rodent and mold infestations. Allergens from cockroaches, rodents and mold are known allergy and asthma triggers.
Airborne pollutants, including potential carcinogens, reproductive toxins, and human irritants, are 2 to 10 times higher indoors when compared with outdoor levels and can be as much as 1,000 times higher in newly constructed and renovated indoor spaces. These visible and invisible contaminants generally fall in one of two categories: (1) particulates or (2) gases, vapors and odors.
Ok..Now what..sejenak kita terfikir..duduk di dalam rumah yang tertutup dari sistem pengudaraan bebas (semulajadi), menyediakan kita kepada keadaan yang lebih berisiko dari duduk di luar rumah. Kenapa?
Sebab kita tersalah tafsir ertikata "keadaan selesa" sebenar-benarnya. Renung-renungkanlah dan sama-sama kita berfikir.

· "Children are more susceptible to pollutants than adults because they are still growing and breathe in proportionately more air. This means indoor pollutants, such as certain chemicals, particles and allergens, can cause more severe health effects in children."
Children breathe in a greater volume of air than adults relative to their body size.
Children's organs and respiratory, immune and neurological systems are still developing.
Children are much closer to the ground, and as a result, breathe in more of the heavier airborne chemicals than do adults.
Infants and young children breathe through their mouths, more so than do adults, which increases their risk of pulmonary exposure to particulates and fibers, that would otherwise be filtered out in the nose.
Children have a higher heart rate than adults, which allows substances that are absorbed into the blood to permeate tissues faster.
Public housing, especially apartment homes in urban settings, is more likely to have cockroach, rodent and mold infestations. Allergens from cockroaches, rodents and mold are known allergy and asthma triggers.
Airborne pollutants, including potential carcinogens, reproductive toxins, and human irritants, are 2 to 10 times higher indoors when compared with outdoor levels and can be as much as 1,000 times higher in newly constructed and renovated indoor spaces.

Sebab kita tersalah tafsir ertikata "keadaan selesa" sebenar-benarnya. Renung-renungkanlah dan sama-sama kita berfikir.
Do you know which type of food you should consider to take?
Alkaline forming food.
I have been studying about this type of food since I fall in the line of lab testing and analysis.
Tell you frankly, I fall in LOVE with the definition of Alkaline FORMING food.
Wish me to eleborate...! I will write more in Bahasa Malaysia so that all of you will get the message.
Tungguuuuuuuu....................

Sarapan, Makan tengahari dan makan malam
615am: Sarapan apa hari ni ya?
6.30am: Ok..dah siap...roti bakar (toast) guna silver bird marjerin, susu rendah lemak
12.00thgr: Makan apa tengahari ni ya?
12.15 pm: Kerabu mangga, tauhu goreng dan ayam gorang pandan. Tak de nasi.
6.00 pm: Nak makan apa malam ni ye?
6.10 pm: $#@*!?X*&?...ummmmmmm....ha....ikan siakap kukus....
Komen: pagi - light carbo, low fat marjerin (vegetable oil & fat fromm palm and soya bean) and claim that its "A Cholesterol Free Food" - What's the trick, do they need to mention its cholesterol free? Dah tentulah dari sayuran - *%#@*& - Toink" ,
Tengahari: Sayur segar - bagus!...tauhu- protein, ayam - protein, wow ini diet protein..tak de carbo. Elok untuk orangyang bekerja di pejabat untuk mengelakkan mengantuk dan mengurangkan spare tyre kat abdomen.
Malam: Ikan kukus- WOW..WOW..WOW..salute you...PROTEIN DIET again..why..because we tend to be lazy after taking food at evening time. Kalau boleh ditambah sayur dan buah-buahan, untuk menambahkan mineral dalam badan, jawapannya awet muda.
Sepintas lalu, kita sedar bahawa rakyat Malaysia sering mengaku "Aku tak boleh hiduplah tanpa nasi". Mesti nak dapat tiap-tiap hari. Betul ke? Kalau kita kat luar negara macam mana? Boleh kan! Terutama negara tersebut memang tak makan nasi. Gantinya gandum. Pun tekak tak terima sebab gandum..dan bukannya nasi.
Sebenarnya, segala-galanya tertakluk pada empunya badan. Selera tekak kita boleh kawal dari otak ke hati. Otak amat memainkan peranan sebab itulah manusia dikurniakan kelebihan untuk mentafsir lebih baik dari makhluk lain. Malangnya kiita sebagai manusia memenangkan hati dari otak. "Teringin nak makan itu dan ini" maknanya itu adalah seruan hati bukan tafsiran otak. Otak yang akan mentafsir baik buruk sesuatu perkara. Malah jawapan dah ada tapi hati tak menerima untuk di laksanakan. Kesian lah badan manusia itu. Kalaulah anggota badan itu boleh bercakap, dia akan berkata, "hai mulut tolong lah berhenti ambil yang tak perlu, sakit dah aku ni..". Masalahnya tak ada satu makhluk pun di muka bumi ini yang memiliki mukjizat sebegitu.
Bagi manusia yang betul-betul memerhati saranan yang betul, mukjizat terbaik yang ditinggalkan iaitu Al-Quran telahpun menggariskan segala panduan untuk menjalani kehidupan supaya makhluknya sentiasa berada dalam keadaan yang sihat, termasuklah teladan yang telah dipraktiskan oleh Rasullullah s.a.w. Dari tu saya sarankan kita semua mengkaji semula cara pemakanan Rasullullah supaya kita tidak terjebak ke dalam golongan umat akhir zaman yang mengalami "penyakit orang kaya". (Penyakit orang kaya: tekanan darah tinggi, kemurungan, kencing manis, diabetes, cancer, leukimia, anemia, dsb)

Atap Genting Atap Rumbia
Kalau dulu kita tak syok guna atap rumbia sebab senang bocor. Sering nak kena tukar. Tapi taklah susah sangat sebab bahan nak buat atap tu ada kat belakang rumah je. Tebang je pokok rumbia, ambik pelepahnya, maka dianyam sehingga menjadi atap. Bab ni, saya tak taulah sama ada generasi sekarang pernah tak tengok atap rumbia, pernah tak tengok macam mana menganyam atap rumbia. Susah nak cari siapa yang boleh jawab "pernah".
Zaman 90an, atap genting dah menjadi trend yang mengikis penggunaan atap rumbia, waima rumah sendiri yang dibina di kampung pun mengguna atap genting. Maka keluarlah berbagai statement mengatakan takpayahlah pakai atap rumbia lagi, sayang pokok-pokok ditebang, jimatkan sumber alam semula jadi. Bab ni ada yang pros dan cons.
Atap rumbia, rumah sejuk, atap genting rumah panas. Rumah yang sejuk tak pelru aircond, rumah yang panas perlu aircond. So mana yang membazirkan tenaga? Kalau nak dikaitkan dengan global warming, dua-dua ada impak, tapi yang menggunakan elektrik lagi besar kesan sejagat berbanding dengan menggunakan natural wind breeze. Renung-renungkanlah...

Where we are from here?
I'm at home.
I know I'm now 40 plus of age.
Do I know who I'm now. Am I a success woman in life? I know it s always not too late for every body to do something good in life. Because it will result in satisfaction. Do I know what does it mean by satisfaction. Do I really know? Do you know? I don't think so. Human will never get satisfaction in their entire life. Until they die.
