A mother in law is not a monster in roar. Lol.

:)

Some of the points did struck me.
In what way?
I'm keeping it for myself at the moment.
:)

Oh no, no updates!

Not so mayhem after all but mayday is still needed

I have too many things in mind. Some are important and some are just trivial matters. Once again I lost my word in writing and orally. It could be due to the pathetic fact that I have not been engaging myself in good chat for a long period of time. I missed talking, and many other things. It is getting gloomy...

Halt.

On the bright side, my new house is comfy and I feel so bless to live in this house. The price is amazingly cheap! According to people who live in this area. Other than that, I have read 5 good books so far! (An achievement?) That is because I have no one to talk to. -.-''' But it changes the way of me looking at things and to try out different approach. Heck la, reading really makes one grows! It is definitely a smart investment. No doubt on that.

Note: For those who are paying income taxes in Malaysia, the the book relief amount is 100% of what you paid for books purchase from bookstore. :)

Going to camp next week! My long anticipated broga experience and sunrise watching! Here I come!

Bang Head Here

Try it at your own risk.

May is approaching. O come what may!

2010

Happy New Year to all!!!
May 2010 be an enriching one to you!!!

This blog is getting pictureless.
And is idle for this month because I got tied down with stuffs.
Nevertheless, I wish everyone a Blessed Christmas! & a Happy New Year! :)

I'm officially stressed, not missing you.

Ohhhh!!! I have not been blogging lately, for this month to be exact. I'll give you the same old reason that will always worked, "I'm busy."

Okies, updates:

I had 13 days of IRC (Intensive Revision Class) marathon. Mind you, continuously, for the first 2 weeks of this month. To add on, most of the classes start at 10am and end at 5pm. How I wish I could just be there like 1/2 an hour before lesson begins but apparently that is not going to happen because we have to reach early to 'chup' place. It is like choosing seat with a nice view in the cinema. Welcome to the real world! I thanked God for the strength to go through this horrendous experience. Oh, Charis came over to stay with me for 2 nights so that she doesn't to travel one hour daily to class from Nilai. She is still lovely and smart. Yes, she is!!! I hope to be a good host but the management of my condo doesn't allow me to be one. We are downed with water crisis. Grrr!!!!! Sorry ar Charis, I hope you are not traumatized by this. In the toilet where....you.... ahem, I'll shhhh. XD

Next paragraph....

Maybe some rats bit and ripped off the water pump or tank. Or perhaps some itchy hands did something to the main pipe. Water supply amazingly stopped after 7pm and only resumed after 10am the next day. Such eventful incident happened like 3 times in a week and continued for the weeks to come. I dare not even think of the consequences if fire broke out at night. (Adios then) Thereafter comes some other more eventful events. I saw housewives with pails walked into the lift to fill water downstairs and after filling water. That is not unusual. It was their complains and the disgruntled conversations between them that caught my attention. Indeed, they are desperate housewives. LOL! It is quite mean to say it was funny, but I did laugh a little when I saw that scene. *close my mouth with both hands to avoid laughing out loud* But so far, the water supply is clean and constant. I hope it won't happen again.

Had dinner with jun liang. I think he is deprived of good food badly. Since we are staying nearby, I invited him to join us for dinner. Hence showing some love. Anyway, he did mention that he wanted to join us for dinner before this. We had a good time of eating and catching up. Dad paid the bill as usual, haha.

I'm officially stressed (don't ask me to spell it another way round), not missing you. Exam's woes again. May God have mercy on me in this coming exam. I need more time. I need more wisdom. I need more faith. Would you pray for me? Thanks! :)

I'm coughing. *cough cough cough* I want to recover before exams start. It is on the 14th, 15th, 16th of next month. Would you pray for me? Thanks! :)

One last thing! I'm officially 21. That makes me not a girl and not yet a women. True! I'm just a child of God. :) Thank you everyone for all the sweet wishes on facebook, smsess and calls.

Dinner time, bye!



With a lot a lot of love,

The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success.

I have been posting up lotsa copy and paste work lately. Busy!

Wake me up when September ends

The end of September gives different meaning to different people.

For some western countries, it means the end of summer.

For some corporate organizations, it means the end of the 3rd quarter of the year. It is time for performance evaluation of the quarter and forecasting of budget for the next quarter.

For some, it is just another day.

For me, it is time to get back on the study track and start running. Studies get harder at final stage!

Nevertheless, I thanked God that I survived my full 3 months of life here. :) Ahem, though it is plain nothing. But it is still better than something bad happen.

Focus!

Successful Women

As I randomly browse through the net, I stumbled upon PwC blog. My heart feels warm after reading some of their successful women employees' story. I've always admire women who manage to juggle between family, career and other commitments. I wonder how do they do it because it seems impossible to me. Erm, I have not reached there yet. =.=

Here, take time to read.

Model No.1

Elham Hassan

Model No.2

Irina Tsvetkova

Model No.3

Tanya Rukavina

Model No.4

Cansen Basaran Symes

Model No.5

Paula Loop

Model No.8

The similarity here is that they are all women, duh... They strive to lead a balance life. I believe everyone, regardless of your gender or marital status, all are trying their very best as well. Agree? As we can see from the above real life stories, most of them are mothers. Wow! That's incredible! Career? Children? Family? Leisure? Wouldn't it be a heck of life for them? Nope, they prioritize their responsibilities. What about working alongside with the men? Utilize the aptitudes within you. Do extent your care and hospitality, sincerely. Yea, those are the secret weapons. Think about it, how often will men discuss about family issues when they get together? Rarely. They favorite topics are still sports, automobiles and the latest gadgets. Opps, did I just stereotype men? Woman shall stay as a woman and man shall stay as a man. Do not try to be a man by starting a 'man' topic unless you are really expose to it. Not forgetting to be yourself whether in work or in a conversation. Be confident at all times! Surely, the women contributions would be valued and voices heard.

Darkness creeps in at night

Came back from some unsatisfied dinner and my room was in darkness. o.o

Someone said this: 'Quantity is more important than quality.'
Referring to food here. Sorry, I'm not going to support this.

That is because my roommate and me never turn on the light before we went out.
Hey, but I went out first before her. :P

I turned on the light but it gave a dim light. It flickered a few times. Then it dies off. Leaving two orange/brownish light at the two end.
Everything in my room is startlingly darker by one tone, maybe more.

I thought of going out from my room to common room to do revision, which means an open area in inti uc to study. It is not a good choice because common room = pasar malam.

Next time, I'll captured the pasar malam moment!!!

Hmm... Maybe I should just ignore the darker side of my room and carry on with my revision.

Cannot la...

Not enough lighting. I feel sleepy.

Grrr....

So here am I blogging about a dead florescent light instead of doing revision. Dang!

1 on, 1 off.

Gonna call technician to fix it tomorrow and I shall see the light and be enlightened.

Half curse

Awaken by alarm clock at 9 am. However, my body couldn't be lifted up from the bed. I lied down with eyes open big for one hour. Then I sat at the edge of the bed, hugging my bolster for half an hour or so and still under the curse of a spell name sluggishness. Then I prayed, as usual. It's a good start to start off a day. Yea, prayer worked. The spell got 'cast out'. So here am I blogging. Anyone catch the point? It means, I have not bathed, brushed teeth, make bed and breakfast. It's 11.30 am right now. XD

Lotsa unfinished work to be completed! Sien...

All I want is a chill out on saturday.

Question: Should I make my blog public?

O blooded ( mourning over dairy product & grains & whole meal product )

Half an hour talk on the phone with my sista and she mentioned about O blood type diet. We are O blooded family. :p I google-ed it and here is the result. Mixed feeling for me.

Peter D'Adamo writes that

Peter J. D'Adamo ND Credit: eDiets.com

[t]he essence of the blood type connection rests in these facts:

• Your blood type - O, A, B, AB - is a powerful genetic fingerprint that identifies you as surely as your DNA.

• When you use the individualized characteristics of your blood type as a guidepost for eating and living, you will be healthier, you will naturally reach your ideal weight, and you will slow the process of aging.

• Your blood type is a more reliable measure of your identity than race, culture, or geography. It is a genetic blueprint for who you are, a guide to how you can live most healthfully.


• The key to the significance of blood type can be found in the story of human evolution: Type O is the oldest; Type A evolved with agrarian society; Type B emerged as humans migrated north into colder, harsher territories; and Type AB was a thoroughly modern adaptation, a result of the intermingling of disparate groups. This evolutionary story relates directly to the dietary needs of each blood type today. cool huh? O blooded ppl are ancient ppl.
  

Fundamental to this theory is the idea that lectins, proteins found in many foods of high nutritional value, have glue-like properties that affect your blood. "Simply put," writes D'Adamo, "when you eat a food containing protein lectins that are incompatible with your blood type antigen, the lectins target an organ or bodily system...and begin to agglutinate blood cells in that area". Each of the four blood types is described in terms of an antigen. Type O is the simplest, comprised of a basic sugar called fucose. The Type A antigen consists of fucose and N-acetyl-galactosamine; Type B, of fucose and D-galactosamine; and Type AB, of fucose, N-galactosamine and D-galactosamine. Each of these antigens presents a "unique shape," and lectins fitting that shape can interact. Food lectins interact with and agglutinate cells of one blood type at left; but not with those of another type at right, because its cells possess a different shape.

Too technical! Tak faham! Erm, will I get sued for copying and pasting?

HB = Highly Beneficial N = Neutral A = Avoid

Meats and Poultry
HB	N	A
Beef Beef, ground Buffalo Heart Lamb Liver Mutton Veal Venison	Chicken Cornish hens Duck Partridge Pheasant Rabbit Turkey Quail	Bacon Goose Ham Pork

• "Type Os can efficiently digest and metabolize meats because they tend to have high stomach-acid content...[but they] must be careful to balance...meat proteins with the appropriate vegetables and fruits to avoid over-acidification, which can cause ulcers and irritation of the stomach lining."

• Recommend type Os "consume no more than six ounces [of meat] at any one meal"

Hey, I'm a carnivore!!! ^^v
You can take away pork. It's fine with me. :) Buffalo anyone?

Eggs and Dairy
HB	N	A
	Butter Farmer Feta Goat cheese Mozzarella Soy cheese* Soy milk*	American cheese Blue cheese Brie Buttermilk Camembert Casein Cheddar Colby Cottage Cream cheese Edam Emmenthal Goat milk Gouda Gruyère Ice cream Jarlsberg Kefir Monterey jack Munster Parmesan Provolone Neufchatel Ricotta Skim or 2% milk String cheese Swiss Whey Whole milk Yogurt, all varieties

• Type Os "severely restrict their use of dairy products", because these are difficult for Os to metabolize and "there are no highly beneficial foods in this group."

• Egg --> "generally a poor protein source" for Os.

• A daily calcium supplement is recommended, particularly for women, since dairy is the best source of natural calcium.

• *Dairy alternatives.

Sob! Sob! Sob! I love diary food! It tastes really like heaven! Don't you think so? T.T

Cereals
HB	N	A
	Amaranth Barley Buckwheat* Cream of Rice Kamut Kasha* Millet, puffed Rice bran Rice, puffed Spelt	Cornflakes Cornmeal Cream of Wheat Familia Farina Grape Nuts Oat bran Oatmeal Seven grain Shredded Wheat Wheat bran Wheat germ

• "Type Os "do not tolerate whole wheat products at all", D'Adamo recommends wheat be completely eliminated from the Type O diet.

• Whole wheat products "contain lectins that...interfere with the proper absorption of beneficial foods."

Barred from cereals also! T.T I like leh...

Grains and Pasta
HB	N	A
	Barley flour Buckwheat* Kasha* Pasta, artichoke Quinoa Rice, basmati Rice, brown Rice flour Rice, white Rice, wild Rye flour Spelt flour	Bulgur wheat flour Couscous flour Durum wheat flour Gluten flour Graham flour Oat flour Soba noodles Pasta, semolina Pasta, spinach Sprouted wheat flour White flour Whole wheat flour

• "There are no grains or pastas that could be classified highly beneficial for Type Os."

• These foods are not essential to your diet and should be limited in favor of more effective animal and fish foods."

Sob! Really sob! T.T

For vege, items to be avoided are cabbage, cauliflower, corn, sprout, mushroom, potato!!! Oh man! No more mashed potato for me? What???

For fruit/juices and fluids, items to be avoided are oranges, apple and coconut. Aren't those normal fruit?

For spices, thank God curry is HB!!! ^^v

No HB condiments.

Miscellaneous Beverages
HB	N	A
Soda, club Seltzer water	Beer Tea, green Wine, red Wine, white	Coffee, regular Coffee, decaf Liquor, distilled Soda, cola Soda, diet Soda, other Tea, black decaf Tea, black regular

• "Your ultimate goal should be to eliminate drinking coffee altogether," because it increases stomach acid. Green tea is an acceptable alternative, "but it contains no special curative properties for Type Os."

• Moderate use of beer is acceptable, and "modest quantities of wine are allowed, but it shouldn't be a daily ritual."

This is hilarious! I'm a drinker??? XD

Haiz... My dear diary, grains and whole meal. I bid thee farewell.

Alright! Increase meat intake and reduce carbo intake with a balance vege + fruit.

@.@

Check it out!

rueful valentine

Read this ... ...

Valentine's Day is mentioned ruefully by Ophelia in Hamlet (1600-1601):

To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day,
All in the morning betime,
And I a maid at your window,
To be your Valentine.
Then up he rose, and donn'd his clothes,
And dupp'd the chamber-door;
Let in the maid, that out a maid
Never departed more.

(William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act IV, Scene 5)
