accidents, accidents

was visiting my dad at the nursing home, and by chance saw a short news clip about some nasty accident in dunno-where, but definately in Malaysia cos the traffic policeman i saw in the news clip is Malaysian...now as I am at home and thinking about this.....every time when there is a long festive holiday (and it is a holiday now cos of national day), some people will die because of nasty accidents. And the cause of these accidents?----inconsiderate drivers...once along the Gopeng-Ipoh trunk road, I saw a lorry overtaking a few cars (and it was a double line on the road), narrowly missed an oncoming car which swerved to the side of the road...sigh....it is the evil that other people do that causes the suffering of another...

In Kuantan

Nothing much interesting here in Kuantan. Holed up in hotel for past two/three days for meetings. Now meeting over, am in another hotel in Kuantan (Grand Continental). Still in hotel...hahahah...need to finish marking my test papers, prepare my lecture notes....need to relax....long overdue holiday...but am looking forward to my overseas holiday in Taiwan in October (will have to spend time doing my paper for submission if I want to go)...going there to present a paper in a conference. Will have to leave it to Ethen to prepare the itenarary.
Yesterday, had good dinner in Pak Su, at Beserah...and surprise surprise...celebrated also Dr. Basil and Elaine's fortieth wedding anniversary...
