Baby "Engan" born 14th December 2009

Christmas 2009 brought a lot of meanings in my life. Apart from that, I could adopt a cute baby named Frederic Engan Ngau (FEN). I gave him name Ngau as my family name and Frederic is one of the amazing Saints. Engan is kenyah’s name, taken from his

great grandfather, Sagan the elder brother of Ngau, the Long Sebatang founder (Pioneer). Home sweet home...my first time celebrated Christmas at my long house since before millennium. Here, I grew up...a lot of gorgeous and awful memories happened that build me to endure this life. Besides, Christmas season 2009 gives me opportunity to meet my ex-classmates, ex-schoolmate, old friends, relatives and the community generally. Scenery, still same never change, but, we feel a bit worry to new fellow comers especially logging activities, palm oils activities and illegal logging activities that sometimes did not benefit the community of folks.

Kesan Asap Rokok !!!

"Merokok Membahayakan Kesihatan" ini salah satu saranan yang ditulis pada kotak rokok tidak kira apa jenama. "Amaran oleh Kerajaan Malaysia". Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan, kita hayati kata -kata di atas. Kenapa tidak kerajaan tulis berbunyi "Rokok Tidak dijual di Malaysia". Saya faham kalau guna ayat ini. Dulu, orang tua selalu memberi nasihat supaya jangan cuba-cuba hisap rokok, nanti bila sudah besar, kita tidak ada perasaan malu ambil rokok dari kocek baju orang yang lebih tua dari kita. Ada kebenaran dalam nasihat ini. Saya pernah mengalaminya...

Probably the most frequent damage is to the lungs, in the form of chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), bronchitis and emphysema. This damage results in cough, production of sputum, respiratory infections, reduction of exercise capability and eventually, disability and death. A recent population study has shown that at least 30% of smokers sustain such damage to the lung. Damage to the lung is demonstrable through inexpensive and non-invasive pulmonary function testing (PFT). Showing the patient the amount of damage already done to his lung as expressed in relative lung age can help to convince him that he needs to quit. Smoking causes lung cancer as well as cancer of the mouth and tongue, throat, larynx, esophagus and trachea. These cancers take many years to develop, and are rare under the age of forty.A middle aged patient who has been a long term smoker has a risk of 1-2% per decade of having a lung cancer. As he gets older, the risk/decade increases to 2-3% per decade. This adds up to a risk of approximately 10% for long term cigarette smokers during a lifetime. If a person has had and been cured of a lung cancer, the risk of his developing a second cigarette-related cancer is as high as 25% in the next decade! A person who has had a lung cancer also has an increased risk of developing a second cancer of the mouth, tongue, pharynx, larynx and esophagus. This combined risk is approximately 5% in a decade. Smokers also have a much higher risk of ardiovascular illness than non- smokers, including

heart attack,
peripheral vascular disease and
stroke.

In sum total, cigarette smoking results in the premature death of at least 430,000 Americans each year, with an average of 10 years of productive life lost per person.

Many millions die worldwide.
