Heart Failure

On 1st of January, Malaysia lost one of the actors who was always featured in television drama series, especially RTM in his early days as an actor. The late Faizal Yusuf was 32 years old when he died of heart failure. May he rest in peace.

Anyway, 32 years old is way too young to die of heart failure since the mean age of patients with heart failure is 75 years old in developed countries. In the wake of that, i did some research on this deadly disease.

1. What is heart failure? It is defined as the progressive condition in which the heart unable to supply enough blood flow to meet the body's needs.

2. What causes heart failure? Most of the research indicate that ischemic heart disease is the main cause. It have to do with blood supply to the heart. If you a heavy smoker, you might need to stop. High blood pressure and diabetes also contribute in heart failure. Yes, obesity too.

3. What are the symptoms of heart failure? Shortness of breath, weight gain but appetite loss, swollen ankles, dizziness, rapid heart rate, tiredness and constant need to urinate at night.

That's what i found on the net. If you don't believe me, you can contact your local hospital and ask them about it cause i'm not a nurse. I'm a guy who studied Diploma in Computer Science and doing just fine in it but i'm concern with this disease and want to share a simple knowledge about heart failure. One main thing, live a healthy lifestyle y'all. That can guarantee another days in the Earth.

p/s : Condolences to the late Faizal Yusof's family and closest friends.

First drama of 2018

So, the drama for 2018 has already begun. Wow. I'm that bitch. Anyway, here's the back story. I worked for this small company for about a year and 3 months. All those times, i was never confirmed as an employee. meaning i'm still under the probation period. and they make it clear for me that i'm not confirmed, with every week, they'll told me that they can't confirmed if I don't buy a car. I can't afford a car w my salary as the car seller told me, if I want an Axia, I need at least $1500 salary and mine is like 300 below that. I always told them, I will buy it when my sister is ready too, as she will be the first name owner of the car. And my sister told me, she only can do so this year. So, I told my company that I will buy a car this year. Maybe in January. Who knows. Because of the intense pressure from them and I got a job offer, I quit my job after the new year with 24 hours notice. And the drama ensued. My company told me that I can't qui...

Today, I'm going to tell you guys, about my mom which many of my friends do not know. Every time when someone talking about cleaners, i get very sensitive most of the time. My mom, Tida Bo, work as cleaner before i could even reading to support our family. She working in many places before settling down in Shell's Main Office at Miri (not the pumped station, ok?) Here the picture : She work like there was no tomorrow and really hard. Even though, some of her higher education colleagues always look down on her, she never gave up because she know, she still have us to support of. I know, if me and my siblings are already got stable job, never ever she would stay there. Her spirits is always beyond any of us. That's one of the million reasons why she inspired me the most. Although she did not attend school and didn't even know how to read, we can see that if she had the chance, she would be more genius than the rest of us. Maybe in another life, mom. Love you. So, every ...
