Aral Sea 'shocking disaster'...

i got this from Yahoo!News..how could a sea shrink that much?Allah yang maha Kuasa yang mampu menjadikan sebegini rupa sebagai peringatan kepada kita...tengok lah perbezaannya setelah 20 tahun.

NUKUS, Uzbekistan – The drying up of the Aral Sea is one of the planet's most shocking environmental disasters, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Sunday as he urged Central Asian leaders to step up efforts to solve the problem.
Once the world's fourth-largest lake, the sea has shrunk by 90 percent since the rivers that feed it were largely diverted in a Soviet project to boost cotton production in the arid region.
The shrunken sea has ruined the once-robust fishing economy and left fishing trawlers stranded in sandy wastelands, leaning over as if they dropped from the air. The sea's evaporation has left layers of highly salted sand, which winds can carry as far away as Scandinavia and Japan, and which plague local people with health troubles.
Ban toured the sea by helicopter as part of a visit to the five countries of former Soviet Central Asia. His trip included a touchdown in Muynak, Uzbekistan, a town once on the shore where a pier stretches eerily over gray desert and camels stand near the hulks of stranded ships.
"On the pier, I wasn't seeing anything, I could see only a graveyard of ships," Ban told reporters after arriving in Nukus, the nearest sizable city and capital of the autonomous Karakalpak region.
"It is clearly one of the worst disasters, environmental disasters of the world. I was so shocked," he said.
The Aral Sea catastrophe is one of Ban's top concerns on his six-day trip through the region and he is calling on the countries' leaders to set aside rivalries to cooperate on repairing some of the damage.
"I urge all the leaders ... to sit down together and try to find the solutions," he said, promising United Nations support.
However, cooperation is hampered by disagreements over who has rights to scarce water and how it should be used.
In a presentation to Ban before his flyover, Uzbek officials complained that dam projects in Tajikistan will severely reduce the amount of water flowing into Uzbekistan. Impoverished Tajikistan sees the hydroelectric projects as potential key revenue earners.
Competition for water could become increasingly heated as global warming and rising populations further reduce the amount of water available per capita.
Water problems also could brew further dissatisfaction among civilians already troubled by poverty and repressive governments; some observers fear that could feed growing Islamist sentiment in the region.
Ban also is taking on the region's frequently poor human rights conditions.
That is likely to be an especially tense issue when he meets Monday with Uzbek President Islam Karimov, who has led the country since the 1991 Soviet collapse and imposed severe pressure on opposition and civil rights activists.
The meeting comes less than two weeks after the U.N. Human Rights Committee issued a report criticizing Uzbekistan, including calling for fuller investigation of the brutal suppression of a 2005 uprising in the city of Andijan. Opposition and rights groups claim that hundreds were killed, but authorities insist the reports are exaggerated and angrily reject any criticism.

mengedit

nak buat luahan perasaan kejap.

saya tengah mengedit surat yang tiada penghujungnya!!!yang paling best some of the points yang was the original points..letih okeyy???but this does not happens everyday..but this particular surat yang liat giler nak sudahnya..i mean..bukannya surat complicated sangat..tp takpela..saya sabar ajaa..edit mistakes that i make thats fine..but adding another points when you already say 'OK'..thats not fine..bazir ajaa paper..dah la baru jer spring clean my workstation after couple of years (tp still tak kemas mana pun!), kotak r:ecycle p:aper pun baru dikosongkan (for shredding, yes we cant simply buang documents) menyampah ajer mcm nak penuh balik..fikir2 balik, banyaknya membazir paper..tp keje kat..t****t. azam tahun nih cuba kurangkan penggunaan kertas.

saat saat itu..

saat-saat di mana saya ingin menulis,tp masa memang tidak mengizinkan. saat saya mahu call nenek saya or mommy saya..ada sahaja yang panggil utk buat kerja..langsung terlupa utk buat call itu..nampak gaya memang sibuk,tp sebenarnya saya yang tak pandai cari masa or susun masa..tambah2 dengan penyakit asyik terlupa..dan kadang-kala short term memory lagi..arrghh..tp harus jadi lebih baik dari hari-hari sebelumnya bukan? aper yang aku nak buat utk perbaiki kehidupan sehari2..saya dah agak kurang memperbaiki ilmu agama especially..takok tu ajaa..ilmu keibuan,hhmm..dah hampir buntu nak suruh anak ada selera makan yang betul..keisterian..kebuntuan nak masak benda2 best selain masak lauk&nasik..w/pun kekadang byk juga la cipta resepi sendiri a.k.a hentam koromo (tp jadik sedap juga..ahakkss)..

sekarang kununnya nak reduce weight..arrghh..baru satu kilo turun!hahahaha..more effort needed..nnt baru senang nak pregnen balik...why??ader laa..hehehhe...my target?cita2 tinggi tp....effort tak cukup aaa...perlu kaa saya amik supporting stuff,mcm the slimming drinks and etc? Tp hari tu pergi doktor,sebab tangan banyak gatal berair lepas balik UK..cerita la mcm2,then terbukak la cerita nak kurus..dia advice kalu nak, boleh amik r:eductil utk kurus..pastu saya agree la..mahal okey..pastu balik g:oogle la..aper cerita r:eductil nih..bannyaakk side effect nyer..!including bleh kena s:trok and h:eart attack!(i think if take for long term kot) giler ke aper..byk juga website yang hentam produk nih, UK dah tarik balik from shelf..m:alaysia?i dont know la..kena pi check ni.tp i think berkesan la kot..drug effect kan kejap jer bleh nampak hasil..just to be safe,so saya pulangkan la balik produk ni..(dengan prejudisnyer..hahaha)..nasib tak buka kotaknya lagi..duit refund nyer ntah zaman bila plak nak dpt..so, nak cuba produk lain..supplement drinks or something..tgk la mcm mana berjaya turun berat tak..hehee.

about her..Part II

Gegirl krentoz dah almost 2years old. cepatnyer masa berlalu!sepanjang dia 2tahun nih mcm2 dia dah achieved..from crawling to walking and jumping! to me dia anak yg bijak *alhamdulillah*..byk benda yang hendak dikongsi cerita tetapi memang masa tidak mengizinkan. ingatkan nak jot down milestone dia, i think i could just save it in my memory box..but it would just last for few days..then..ntah mcmana dah terdelete!. so, i think its important to keep the record tru conventional way..the pen and paper..kalu dalam net who knows tetiba terdelete ka!habisss... tp kalau dah kemalasan mengatasi segalanya,tiada saper boleh tolong rite? i have abandon projects for adlina mcm scrap book etc..also terbengkalai..arrrghhh..im so bad at finishing things that i do! ala azam tahun baru belum tentu dapat selesaikan tahun nih punya project!huhuhu..im so bad with time management too...

takpe la, tahun depan cuba lagi..to be more organize..tp sebelum memori tahun nih kena delete with virus-virus dalam badan nih..yg melemahkan fikirin..,here some things that i can recall..apa yang akan dicakap ini adalah realiti dan perjalanan hidupku bersama this lovely girl name adlina, yang ingin dikongsi kepada sesiapa yg baca.

*Adlina tumbuh gigi and jalan agak lambat..tumbuh gigi (4batang serentak!) masa dia 12 bulan

*starts walking steadily masa umur 14bulan.

*rambut start kerenting between 16th month to 18 month

*start fussy eating around 18th month..isskk..so sad&stress too. .but im still trying to get her to eat something else. tp nasib masa baby puas dah bagi dia mcm2 homemade food yg dibuat..the purees...yummy...time tuh memang sangat seronok buat your own baby food..no worries about the garam&sugar intake..the preservatives lagi..masa tuh she loves every puree yg aku buat except mash potato..heeee...even selalu gak bagi dia advocado puree..konon2 nak bagi dia gemuk skit..but..tetap sama!i think its genetic la kot. Gambar kat atas tuh rasanya itu kali terakhir nampak dia suka makan kek.

*she is an active girl since baby..no,since in the womb!Doctor kata " Dia nih aktif sampai tak ingat nak makan..play and play.."..i just smiled.

*knows her Abcs and 123s around 22th month. i think becoz introduce to her flashcards every morning kot when she was a baby. try it, you'll be amazed! if your baby does not respond during the flashcard activity, it does mean that your baby is not absorbing or digesting those colorful cards!hehehhe..jangan ingat diaorg buat tak tau aja!oh yesss let the baby chew the cards..hahah.

*masa dia baby lagi dia suka main sorang2..atau main dgn bestfren dia..cewah baby2 dah ada bestfren.other mothers said she's 'anti-social'...well lain budak lain la perangainya.

*dah 2tahun nih, perasan dia suka kawan dengan org besar dari dia..even the teachers kat nursery pun cakap. ada dua situasi yg i tengok dia suka kawan dengan budak older. 1st masa raya tahun ni, balik kg kat johor, dia tak berapa nak main dengan ada cousins yg sebaya..dengan the twins pun dia tak layan sangat, tp dengan budak 5year old boy dia sanggattt suka berlari kesana sini ikut that boy..okey. di nursery baru nih her best buddy a 4year old boy named A*rmand...good looking boy plak tuh..pandai plak anak aku nih pilih2 and that boy is also fussy eater (thats what the teacher told me la)..elok la tu korang berkawan sama2 tak suka makan!kat rumah pun asyik sebut ajer nama budak tu..hahaha..kelakar la..

*i found that she was a high need baby..its not easy to pleased her.cries a lot.tp benda2 tu semua banyak mengajar tentang parenting..everybody wish they get a happy baby..and if you dont, try to adjust yourself to your baby's need.. and trust me its not easy, but once you find our own methods,stick to it and just keep searching for more!..suprisingly masa she was baby my dad yang always find a way to reduce the 'singing out loud' situation..his secret.."You must know her schedule, her rutine and dont missed that". haiyooo..sonang nyerr..maybe dia ada chemistry kot dengan adlina!hehehe.

*she doesnt like crowded places like shopping complex, kenduri2 ..she easily gets irritated out of nothing...you dont wanna know how fuss she is..memang mencabar kesabaran ooo..and yess everybody is looking..dont mind with that..aper tak pernah tgk budak nangis ker??!

Few tips of mine, Contoh kalau tak your baby/toddler tak suka crowded places ker, tapi kita still nak pergi juga, boleh pergi tempat-tempat yang tidak berapa ramai seperti shopping compleks yg kecik2. kalau pegi mall besar pun avoid pergi so mana places that need a lot of walking and taken a lot of time from one point to another.try limit to just places that you really wanna go and have a frequent pit stop..hehe.limit kat mall, not more than 3hrs or maybe 4hrs.

Kalau dia jenis tak boleh tidur dalam stroller, pastikan dia take a nap+minum susu or makan sebelum keluar..and sediakan langkah2 contigency yg boleh buat dia relax (bantal, pacifier ker kalu dia mmg pakai paci la, biscuits or fav toy..etc) you dont want to mess with 'cloudy' baby!. kalau dia suka main excalator, kalau boleh avoid using that, cuba naik lif ker or tangga. biasanya kalau umur 2 yrs old dah berani nak cuba naik escalator sendiri..

kalau time making new friends, i try not to introduce directly to her..she needs time to know her aquaintance..normally i would say..."look, baby la..hi baby.." or "look, its kakak la..kakak A..hi kakak". kalau dia refuse utk main sama, its ok, org kata budak lambat panas ..hehehe..hold her close,maybe she feel insecure or something..i dunno..kalau tak berjaya juga..hhhmm..dokong jer la jawabnyer!!!

*bercakap?skit2 saja...basic words. tapi belum buat short sentence.

oh well, i now tak ramai hadapi perkara ini, i just wanna share my journey with this girl of mine.. :>
