Missing drain cover.
Oh! not again, this must be for the third time in the last 28 years. That remind me I have been staying in the same house for that long. The address and phone number had changed several time during the period. Got to think of something to deter such petty theft. The police would laugh in my face if I report this to them.

Five stiches for the deep cut
We heard of snatch theft case almost everyday but it really hit you hard if it happened to somebody close to you. Last week my daughter became one of the latest victim. Two thugs attacked her just outside her office, Taman Seri Jati, off Jalan Puchong. They not only took her valuables but slashed her throat in the process. Seemed like this is their latest tactic to deter people from chasing them as the focus would now be on the victim to get medical attention. I thanked God, the injury could have been fatal if the cut was 2cm deeper. The weapon used was some kind of ramboo knife. I shared this experience hoping whoever read would alert their children and loved one. Just be alert when people on motorbike approached you and be wary if they keep their bike engine running.

Cannibal? What at this age!
Well don't be surprised. I was reading the STAR today, this guy, by the name Sumanto, was released from prison where he served for five years, upon conviction of all thing of being a cannibal. He actually stole a body from a graveyard and made himself a meal out of it. He was actually convicted for stealing corpse rather than performing the despicable act. When asked what was the taste like, he simply said, it was delicious. I can't imagine what the feeling like in his village once they know that he is again on the loose.
Note:
The term cannibalisation is also used to describe when you take a component from an aircraft to service another aircraft.
