Mohd Yazri Bin Yahaya: December 2008

We Need Someone

I prayed for you before we met,

not knowing who you'd be,

I asked the Lord to send a friend.

One chosen just for me,

I asked that they'd be Godly,

with wisdom of His ways.

A friend to help and guide me,

I the troubles of these days,

so often in life, we need someone.

To listen while we talk,

someone who will not condemn or judge,

but encourage us as we walk.

The narrow road we choose to follow,

may sometimes make us stumble,

but to have a friend to catch our fall.

Teaches us to be humble,

when I asked the Lord to send a friend,

though many came and went.

He gave much more than I ever asked,

and you are the friend He sent.

Congratulations

Dedicated To:

Halim Bin Ibrahim

Always Remember To Forget

Always remember to forget,

The things that made you sad.

But never forget to remember,

the things that made you glad.

Always remember to forget,

the friends that proved untrue.

But don't forget to remember,

those that have stuck by you.

Always remember to forget,

the troubles that have passed away.

But never forget to remember,

the blessings that come each day.

You're Not Alone

I cannot ease your aching heart,

nor take your pain away.

But let me stay and take your hand,

and walk with you today.

I'll listen when you need to talk,

I'll wipe away your tears.

I'll share your worries when they come,

I'll help you face your fears.

I'm here and I will stand by you,

on each hill you have to climb.

So take my hand, let's face the world,

and live just one day at a time.

You're not alone,

because I'm still here.

I'll go that extra mile,

and when your grief is easier.

I'll help you learn to smile.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: The Silent Killer
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide gas is inhaled. CO is a colorless, odorless, highly poisonous gas that is produced by incomplete combustion. It is found in automobile exhaust fumes, faulty stoves and heating systems, fires, and cigarette smoke.

Other sources include woodburning stoves, kerosene heaters, improperly ventilated water headers and gas stoves, and blocked or poorly maintained chimney flues. CO interferes with the ability of the blood to carry oxygen. The result is headache, nausea, convulsions, and finally death by asphyxiation.

About Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
1) Unlike many gases, it is odourless, colourless, tasteless and non-irritating. Red blood cells absorb the gas over 200 times more readily than oxygen.

2) As levels of carbon monoxide in the air rise, this gas replaces oxygen in the bloodstream. As a result, body tissues are damaged and may die of a lack of oxygen.

3) The most common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are respiratory difficulties and impairing of visual perception.

4) Have a reliable mechanic check the exhaust system of your car once a year to check for leaks and damaged pipes. Have the system checked if the sound of the exhaust is suddenly different or if you hear any funny noises.

5) When driving in heavy traffic it is also advisable to have a slight opening in the windows, especially with the air-conditioning on. Do this when you are caught in heavy traffic or when the car is stationary for long hours.

6) If you park your car in a closed garage, carbon monoxide can rapidly build up while your engine is running with the garage doors closed. Never run your car in a garage unless the outside door is open to provide ventilation.

7) Have your vehicle regularly tuned to ensure that there is proper combustion in the engine. This will reduce the level of carbon monoxide emissions.

8) If the car has a catalytic converter, make sure it is in proper working condition. Removing the catalytic converter can also increase carbon monoxide levels.
