CAPT'S LONGHOUSE, KAPAS ISLAND.

My 91 years oldman, my dearest daddy.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Me and my Father.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,dearest Daddy am back !!

,,,,,,,,,,,Daddy dearest, am back !!.......I know you can hear me and feel me again !!.

,,,,,To Allah belongs the mystery of the heavens and the earth. And the Decision of the Hour of Judgement is as the twinkling of an eye, or even quicker; for Allah has power over all things.

,,,,,It is He Who brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers when you knew nothing and He gave you hearing and sight and intelligence and affections that you may give thanks (to Allah).

Thus does He complete His favours on you, that you may bow to His Will.

,,,,,Daddy sleep well tonite, you will always be close in my heart.

Selamat Berpuasa

Behold!,,,in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of Night and Day ----there are indeed signs for men of understanding !!.

O you who believe !!,,,,Persevere in patience and constancy, vie in such perseverance, strengthen each other; and fear Allah; that you may prosper.

,,,Do men think that thay will be left alone on saying. 'we believe' and that they will not be tested ??

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Azrai caught in action !!

Me and my love ones !!.....just don't ever forget the BIG boss up there o.k. ??

Be forever greatful......always yaa !!.

...if any does good, the reward to him is better than his deed; but if any does evil, the doers of evil are only punished (to the extent) of their deeds.

...and your Lord knows all that their hearts conceal and all that they reveal !!!!!.

Almighty shall amply reward those that are forever greatful and faithful.

,,,,,,for the family is everything ,,,,,come what may-lah !!...so Father/Mother/Children be together in good and bad times too.

,,,,,,(husbands) are the protectors and maintainers of their (wives), because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard.

"Who has, out of His Bounty, settled you in a HOME that will last; no toil nor sense of weariness shall touch us therein !!".

...at the Capt's Longhouse ?.

Ready to know more...sperm head.

,,,,,,,,,, Type "a" .......hahaha piraty -lah...party of loyal to none!! ...survival of the fittest yaa,,,,,,,,we made it !! yooohohoo. ....hey matey survivors .....yaaaaaaaaa had been, still is a battle ??....make it fun as always, if NOT why NOT ?.......'allsome' hehehe !

The anatomy of a sperm !!....Yoo

,,,Do you know, if there are enough sperms from yours ??. If the sample has less than 20 million sperm per ml, this is considered to be a low sperm count. Less than 10 million is very low. The technical term for this is oligospermia (oligo means few).

,,, Some men will have no sperms at all and are said to be azoospermic. ,,,Yaaa !!....This can come as a rude shock because the semen in these patients look absolutely normal - it is only on microscopic examination that the problem is detected.
,,,Whether the sperms are moving well or not (sperm motility). The
quality of the sperm is often more significant than the count. Sperm
motility is the ability to move.

,,,Sperm are of 2 types – those which swim like mine, and those which don’t like yours ?. hehehe,,,just joking ya!!

,,, Oooh,,, Yes b4 I forget-lah!!...Remember that only those sperm which move forward fast are able to swim up to the egg and fertilise it – the others are of little use.

,,,Motility is graded from "a to d", according to the World Health Organisation ( WHO) Manual criteria , if I can remember correctly lah, as follows ; -

...Grade a ( fast progressive) sperms are those which swim forward fast
in a straight line - like guided missiles from pirate ship.

...Grade b ( slow progressive) sperms swim forward, but either in a curved or crooked line, or slowly (slow linear or non linear motility) ...as from most politicians'..... haaaha !!

...Grade c ( nonprogressive) sperms move their tails, but do not move forward ( local motility only). ...like most locals ??.

...Grade d ( immotile ) sperms do not move at all . ..cool guys koy ??.

,,,Hahaha,,,,,Please note that sperms of grade c and d are considered poor.

,,,BUT, why do we worry about poor motility ? Well, if motility is poor, this suggests that the testis is producing poor quality sperm and is not functioning properly – and this may mean that even the apparently motile sperm may not be able to fertilise the egg.

,,,Whether the sperms are normally shaped or not - what is called their
form or morphology. Ideally, a good sperm should have a regular oval
head, with a connecting mid-piece and a long straight tail. If too
many sperms are abnormally shaped (round heads; pin heads; very large heads; double heads; absent tails) this may mean the sperm are
abnormal and will not be able to fertilise the egg.

,,,Many labs use Kruger "strict " criteria ( developed in South Africa ) for judging sperm normality. Only sperm which are "perfect" like mine !!,,hohohoo are considered to be normal. A normal sample should have at least 15% normal forms ( which means even upto 85% abnormal forms is considered to be acceptable !)

,,,Sperm clumping or agglutination. Under the microscope, this is seen as the sperms sticking together to one another in bunches. This impairs
sperm motility and prevents the sperms from swimming upto through the cervix towards the egg.

,,,Putting it all together, one looks for the total number of "good"
sperms in the sample - the product of the total count, the progressively motile sperm and the normally shaped sperm. This gives
the progressively motile normal sperm count which is a crude index of
the fertility potential of the sperm.

,,,Thus, for example, if a man has a total count of 40 million sperm per ml; of which 40% are progressively motile; and 60% are normally shaped; then his progressively motile normal sperm count is : 40 X 0.40 X 0.60 = 9.6 million sperm per ml. If the volume of the ejaculate is 3 ml, then the total motile sperm count in the entire sample is 9.6 X 3 = 28.8
million sperm.

,,,O.K. got it guys/plus you ladies should be aware of too !!

,,,Yooo........hahaha !!......chopper pilots normally get daughters, will tell you why later o.k.??.....(hover too long-lah)

Do you know this,,,,hahaha

Looks like a snake-kan ??...kan

,,,,,My bitch and faithful dog "JANE" is my best friend, taking care of the Capt's Longhouse and of me every single sweaty days and many a lonely nights away ??.
,,,,,My dearest 35 years old 4WD-Landy is all ready and waiting again for our long over due trip to China/India, she will be my moving home again for a year or so, on the road, come sunshine or rain. She had travelled me across Borneo and in one incident, we fought together against 3 x armed road robbers that pleaded back their life for mercy from Landy and me!!
,,,,,she has also some how, safely brought me back home after many thousands of hardy miles of discovery travels and manly true adventures in muddy jungle streams, river plus mountain crossings and again and again being my trusting home away from home ??.
,,,,for tonite again, my sporty buddy ECBW i.e. ex-security super fast pilot patrol boat rests on the sandy beach front at Kapas Island, waiting for the high tide to cruise the waves and to out chase the flying fishes as she glides across the swells plus to catch the next strong wave at 45 degrees across its top ends. (no 1 engine tuning still too low, will fix it tomorrow with Baharom, my good seaman buddy)
,,,,well done, so with my flying days !!....said 'SAyOnarA' plus having many sweet memories to choppering the basic Bell 47G, tough Alouette III, sleek Gazelle, motherly Sikorsky S61- A4, oil worker S61 N,super fast S76-A, strong Super Pumas helicopter flights in Norway coastal waters and bitter cold North Sea plus the ever stormy moody South China Seas.

,,,,,done so ferrying/flying halfway across the world and climbing across the highest mountains in my hay days.
,,,,,sailed the high seas in the frightening typhoons, strong monsoon winds and now finally taking a deserving break at my Capt's Longhouse, Pulau Kapas.

,,,,, nowadays kind of resting, building back my strength, my energy and my high spirit before may I say......??.

,,,,,to start living my very next day ??.

,,,,,Yoo !!,,,,,,,it has never ever been a dull day !.
