Workshop # 65 - Tag: Meme: Save Yvonne's Sight

I was tagged by nightwing to Save Yvonne's Sight. Sorry for the delay..have been busy and away from the country and also did not really check out my blog lately.

Yvonne Foong (go read her blog for the full story) has the very rare condition called Neurofibromatosis Type II (NF II), which should not be confused with NF I. NF II is an autosomal dominant condition that causes benign tumours to grow in her brain, spine and peripheral nerves, and is distinguish from NF I by the presence of bilateral acoustic neuromas (among others).

Yvonne was diagnosed at the age of 16."Yvonne, who runs a blog www.yvonnefoong.com is the author of I’m Not Sick, Just A Bit Unwell, (picture), has been raising money on her own to pay for her operations, is losing her eyesight. The operation is due in December and once again she needs to raise funds for it. The cost of the surgery is RM176,184.02 .She has already raised RM173,581.13 of this but obviously she still need supports to get to her needs.She's hoping to raise the rest by republishing her book I'm Not Sick, Just A Little Bit Unwell in English and Chinese.The books are now available in Malaysian bookshops and from her website store. She is also selling T-shirts at bazaars and via her web site store. You can read about her surgery and donate to her fund here."

Workshop # 64 - Vacation

Hi everyone...did I say I will come back and chap more about my vacation on my last posting? Yes I am here now.:):) and sorry that for those waiting, you have to wait for 1 month.. and the compensation pay out will be next round of kopi O will be on my account okie. :):)

Here you go, actually i brought my parent, wife and my 2 junior bosses to one of the city in our neighbouring state... Kota Kinabalu. For those of you who doesn't know where is KK.. please stay with me here and let me finish my story before you pop off to google and find out.

We went there sometimes on the end of August and to me, one word to describe the whole holiday- Wonderful, and if I have to say something else... it will be arrrrr "Love it".

Here are some of the pictures that was taken during the trip to Mount KK, spend one night there just want to catch the view of the peak on the next morning and also want to get a feel of staying up in the mountain. Did not get to climb and don't think I can make it to the top as well..hehe. For everyone's info.. if you want to enjoy the best view of the mountain in the morning, make sure you get yourself a room way ahead in advance in this Pine Resort hotel... because a lot of tourists are staying here.

On the next morning.. we drove up to the Desa Cattle Farm at Kundasang area. If you have heard of Desa Milk where you can get them in some of the grocery store back home, then that is the products from this cattle farm. Unfortunately, we did not get to see how the cows get to be milked. According to the workers, the happening time is around 3pm. So if anyone of you are heading there in future, go in the afternoon to see how those cows get into action and I suppose it will be a nice experience.

Seriously, KK is actually a nice place. If you like to go and take a swim in the sea, you get nice beautiful sea, if you like mountain and hiking, can always drive up to Mount KK. If you want shopping, they have the Largest Shopping Mall in the East Malaysia with 4 hotels positioned side by side to each others.. and we are actually staying in one of them.

Can wait to return for more seafood.....:):)

Alright.. that's all.. will bring you guys further on my next post..hmmm surely will not keep you guys waiting for another month..i hope..:)
