Fluarix Injection

Yesterday leaving office by 8pm

coz wanna avoid the jam outside my office

then heading to a clinic in Seapark for injection

I overhead a conversation among the staff after injection:

"GxK baru charged their staff for injection of RMXX saja"

back to home and google the Fluarix

it seems like this influanza vaccine market price is about $11

and I really hate the doctor that giving injection to me

coz when I asked for the side effect, he gave me bullshit answer =.=

anyhow, appreciate the annual vaccine per year given to the staff

盖。文化

我发现我们-马来西亚人

越来越没有卫生间的文化

简单来说

个人卫生很不卫生

在伦敦期间

发觉人们都很善用马桶盖

不管你是为了什么原因而盖

总的来说

那是较卫生

你可能会因为味道重而盖

也可能因为冲不干净而盖

一般上

接下来用那间卫生间的人

看到马桶盖被盖上

就很自然的Flush一次

再把盖打开

这样就避免的看到不该看到

又令人很恶心的一幕

如果你看到这篇文章

麻烦你以身作则

教导你的家人

甚至下一代

注意那卫生间的基本礼仪

你家厕所的干净度

代表了你的个人卫生礼仪

你公司厕所的干净度

代表了那公司员工的卫生礼仪

公共厕所的干净度

更到表了整个国家的卫生礼仪

Story of London 1 - Walking along Canal

I only walked from Holiday Inn Brentford Lock to office during the last few days.

I missed the moment walking along the canal with chill weather and windy. Spent 15 mins of walking, sometimes I was totally wet due to the rain eventhough I got umbrealla with me..

I just could not understand why London, as a very hectic city, still the surrounding is clean and not dusty at all compare with KL. You can easily get a swan or duckies along the riverside and you could not able to see this kind of picture in the river of KL.

Note: the photo was taken during the Day 40 17062011 - the last day I went to office.
