Make wishes come true

Christmas is just around the corner. In exact counting, it is 6 days left for Christmas. Time really flies. I have done half of the Christmas shopping. Well it is only of the present shopping though. I still remember when I was just a little kid, waiting eagerly under the beautiful decorated Christmas tree to receive presents and hoping that all my wishes will come through inside the presents. Sometimes it does come through but most of the times you just have to accept what ever it is inside the boxes. I really wish I have picture taken of us. There must be hundreds of faces expressions you can see. Be it a happy face, or a disappointed face.

Now it is even easy to store your pictures. You don’t have to print it out. You can buy those digital frames and it can even store a lot of your pictures. More over, you don’t have to flip it over as the pictures will change as per the time set. As easy as that? Yes.. I stumble into this website "got a wish" that tells you about this digital frame. I think this is a perfect gift. Oh and this frame can receive pictures through the net. That wondeful.

I will surely buy this frame but wait, I don’t think my paypal account is enough (not being doing any paid post and my account have dried up from the heavy usage). What shall I do? I wish that I am a resident of the United States or Washington D.C. You see, CEIVA Digital Photo Frame is organizing a contest amd as a winner, you will receive $500.

got a wish ? Visit the above web sites and enter the contest. You got to sits on santa's lap you know

All I want..

... for Christmas is ;-

"I don't want a lot for Christmas,
There is just one thing I need,
I don't care about the presents,
Underneath the Christmas tree,
I Just want you for my own,
More than you can ever know,
Make my wish come true,
all I want for Christmas is.......
YOU"

* A wonderful day with Hubby (which we never have the chance to spent our us time with all the responsibilities)
* To see lots of happy faces receiving their presents
* Feels the Christmas spirit again (Since I think I lost it long time ago)
* And the most important thing is I want this for Christmas....

* drum roll*

> _ <

What a hectic weekend last weekend.. I didn't get to spend the "me" time and I was way too tired to even switch on the PC (though hubby switch it on for him to update his premier league and FB)..

I went for the PTD PAC assessment at Intan Sabah Campus and gosh it was really tiring.. well tiring for me since I haven't been exercising for the past 6 month (duh..) We have to do sit ups, pumping and all under the hot sun.. just imagine what my face will look like now..(burning!!) and as early as 4.00 am, a group of us went to fishing (mesti la di laut kan...--> this one I love. :)). The sad thing is to see the coral which is not as beautiful as it is before. Blame it to the human being for destroying it.

Well that will be all. Boring update right.. well yeah..

p/s Chirstmas is just next week and I haven't done any Christmans shooping yet.. Guess no new dress this year either but need to shop for the christmas present....budget..budget..

The nature in me

Capturing and looking at beautiful pictures of flowers and nature is what I love so filling up the holiday with something useful (if can be considered one) is what I did...

Presenting the nature:-

Another breakaway

Remember I ever blog about my short breakaway to JB and Singapore somewhere in August? Well last week was my yet another “SHORT” breakaway and this time its local as in within the Land Below The Wind.

Well its actually an engagement trip. You see, Hubby’s cousin is the main figure for this trip actually. He’s getting engaged with a Labuan lass. Congratulations to Mr. Ivan Lai and FiancĂ©e Ms. Bernadette (forgot the surname). However, we took this opportunity to la tour de Labuan.. hehehehe A simple breakaway that is.

My last visit to Labuan is where back in 2003 or 2004 can’t remember but its on working visit and for only about ½ day. I still remember my 1st visit to Labuan Island. It was somewhere in the late 90’s and we went there by Ferry Labuan. A journey which I don’t want to remember cause I vomited all the way to Labuan and from Labuan. What a journey. Last weekend however, we use the Menumbuk-Labuan Ferry which took us 1 ½ hour to reach each destinations. Tiring journey indeed, but this time I really enjoy it.

Enough said. This is the picture taken using my canon Powershot A470 (kesian kan not even slr *sob..sob*) …. A memorable “short” breakaway..

Lama lagi ka mau sampai ni? (Ms. Juliet of What's Hot)





(on our way home..ni la kerja gila bergambar siring jalan tengah panas)

p/s who want to join me to Jakarta next year? This one will surely be a long 8 days breakaway.

Maybe you can help others or even Me


I heard a lot of stories of people being attack by stroke and nothing can be done by people around him or her to help them.

My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T.R .

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance)

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.

Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this...

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the '3' steps,
STR . Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE .
T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg 'It is sunny out today').
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call for an ambulance immediately!! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is

1.Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue.

2. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.


Its good to know so that we can at least help someone in need right?

Getting prepared

Since I start my treatment with my Gyne, I was given almost one year supply of folic acid which I thought all this while only to be consumed by women who are pregnant. Little did I know the reason behind it. After taking it for one year then only now I google the use of Folic acid and I found this site:-

Kids Health

And this is what I found out about Folic Acid:-
(text copied from This site)


Having a healthy baby means making sure you're healthy, too. One of the most important things you can do to help prevent serious birth defects in your baby is to get enough folic acid every day - especially before conception and during early pregnancy.

What Is Folic Acid?

Folic acid, sometimes called folate, is a B vitamin (B9) found mostly in leafy green vegetables like kale and spinach, orange juice, and enriched grains. Repeated studies have shown that women who get 400 micrograms (0.4 milligrams) daily prior to conception and during early pregnancy reduce the risk that their baby will be born with a serious neural tube defect (a birth defect involving incomplete development of the brain and spinal cord) by up to 70%.

The most common neural tube defects are spina bifida (an incomplete closure of the spinal cord and spinal column), anencephaly (severe underdevelopment of the brain), and encephalocele (when brain tissue protrudes out to the skin from an abnormal opening in the skull). All of these defects occur during the first 28 days of pregnancy - usually before a woman even knows she's pregnant.

That's why it's so important for all women of childbearing age to get enough folic acid - not just those who are planning to become pregnant. Only 50% of pregnancies are planned, so any woman who could become pregnant should make sure she's getting enough folic acid.
Doctors and scientists still aren't completely sure why folic acid has such a profound effect on the prevention of neural tube defects, but they do know that this vitamin is crucial in the development of DNA. As a result, folic acid plays a large role in cell growth and development, as well as tissue formation.

Getting Enough Folic Acid

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all women of childbearing age - and especially those who are planning a pregnancy - consume about 400 micrograms (0.4 milligrams) of folic acid every day. Adequate folic acid intake is very important 1 month before conception and at least 3 months afterward to potentially reduce the risk of having a fetus with a neural tube defect.

So, how can you make sure you're getting enough folic acid? In 1998, the Food and Drug Administration mandated that folic acid be added to enriched grain products - so you can boost your intake by looking for breakfast cereals, breads, pastas, and rice containing 100% of the recommended daily folic acid allowance. But for most women, eating fortified foods isn't enough. To reach the recommended daily level, you'll probably need a vitamin supplement.

During pregnancy, you require more of all of the essential nutrients than you did before you became pregnant. Although prenatal vitamins shouldn't replace a well-balanced diet, taking them can give your body - and, therefore, your baby - an added boost of vitamins and minerals. Some health care providers even recommend taking a folic acid supplement in addition to your regular prenatal vitamin. Talk to your doctor about your daily folic acid intake and ask whether he or she recommends a prescription supplement, an over-the-counter brand, or both.

Also talk to your doctor if you've already had a pregnancy that was affected by a neural tube defect. He or she may recommend that you increase your daily intake of folic acid (even before getting pregnant) to lower your risk of having another occurrence.

Now I know why.. hehehe being the ignorant me

Acknowledgement...

I've seen a lot of people who really work hard i accomplishing certain projects. They really put their heart and soul to make sure the project runs smooth and successfully. I've known some people who didn't care how much money they spent and how tired they are just for the sake of the success of the project. I enjoy working with people like that.

However, after seeing the sacrifices of these beautiful people, one of their assistance head of the project blame them for not doing enough just because he or she is unable to attend one ceremony which makes them have to take over the duty and its turn out to be in a mess.

What do you feel when every time there is something need to be done you are left alone to think what to do and yet when it is well done your head get the thumbs up but if it is not up to the standard you are the one who will have to take the blame because you are the one who do it. Fair enough if your superior said that you didn't do great so they get the blame but have they ever think that they never help in the process?

I've seen this one person work and know how hard he/she tried. I've seen the amount of money pour out to make things possible and the amount of time spend to the project and yet his/her assistance head said that he/she didn't do enough to help them. The head didn't do anything or said anything to clear the air. He just sit there and listen. Fair enough if he don't want to side anybody but he have to comment. Don't just let someone's heart hurt.

What will you do if you really feel that you have work hard enough and sacrifice enough to help your group and yet they blame you of not doing enough? Not even a Thank you. When you help does not mean you want to be given an award. Enough if you say thanks and acknowledge what they have done. Why want to say "You have not done enough and we know you didn't tried you best". I don't blame the group member to back away and feel hurt for I can feel the hurt.

What say you?

To release the tense

Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak - The last one is great!
Have you ever spoken and wished that you could
Immediately take the words back...
Or that you could crawl into a hole?
Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did....

FIRST TESTIMONY:
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in towAnd asked loudly, 'How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?' I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't say a word...He knew better.

SECOND TESTIMONY:I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, 'I think I like playing with mens balls'

THIRD TESTIMONY:
My sister and I were at the mall and Passed by a store that sold aVariety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, The boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, 'No, I'm just looking at your nuts.'

My sister started to laugh hysterically.The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, My sister has never let me forget.

FOURTH TESTIMONY:
While in line at the bank one afternoon, My toddler decided to releaseSome pent-up energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab hold ofHer after receiving looks of disgust And annoyance from other patrons.I told her that if she did not start behaving 'right now' she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, 'If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you Kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!' The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of my dignity and Walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.

FIFTH TESTIMONY:
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch, in between errands.It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, So of course I checkedMy seven-month-old daughter, she was clean. Then realized that Danny Had not asked to go potty in a while. I asked him If he needed to go, And he said 'No'. I kept thinking 'Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me.' Then I said,'Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?' 'No,' he replied.I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. Soooooo, I asked one more time, 'Danny did you have an accident ? This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, Bent over, spread his cheeksAnd yelled 'SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!'While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, He calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better,Thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY:
This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days And a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, In the future, likely think before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow but don't get any! We had a female news anchor that, The day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, Turned to the weatherman and asked: 'So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?' Not only did HE have to leave the set, But half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!Now, didn't that feel good? Pass it on to someone you know who needs a laughand rememberwe all say things we don't really me

Customer: 'I've been calling 700-1000 for two days and can't get through; can you help?' Operator: 'Where did you get that number, sir?'
Customer: 'It's on the door of your business.'
Operator: 'Sir, those are the hours that we are open.'

Samsung Electronics
Caller: 'Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?'
Operator: 'I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand who you are talking about.'
Caller: 'On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly states that I need to unplug the fax machine from the AC wall socket and telephone Jack before cleaning. Now, can you give me the number for Jack?'
Operator: 'I think it means the telephone plug on the wall.'

Operator: 'I'm sorry, there's no listing. Are you sure that the spelling is correct?'

Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven.
Operator: 'Woven? Are you sure?'
Caller: 'Yes. That's what it says on the label -- Woven in Scotland.'
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone told a worried operator: 'I haven't got a pen, so I'm steaming up the window to write the number on.'

Tech Support: 'I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop.'

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
This has to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the WordPerfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the WordPerfect organization for 'Termination without Cause.' Actual? dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now I know why they record these conversations! ):

Operator: 'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'
Caller: Yes well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.'
Operator: 'What sort of trouble??'
Caller: 'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.'
Operator: 'Went away?'
Caller: 'They disappeared.'
Operator: 'Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?'
Caller: 'Nothing.'
Operator: 'Nothing??'
Caller: 'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.'
Operator: 'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??'
Caller: 'How do I tell?'
Operator: 'Can you see the 'C: prompt' on the screen??'
Caller: 'What's a sea-prompt?'
Operator: 'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?'
Caller: 'There isn't any cursor; I told you, it won't accept anything I type.'
Operator: 'Does your monitor have a power indicator??'
Caller: 'What's a monitor?'
Operator: 'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??'
Caller: 'I don't know.'
Operator: 'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??'
Caller: 'Yes, I think so.'
Operator: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.
Caller: 'Yes, it is.'
Operator: 'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??'
Caller: 'No.'
Operator: 'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.'
Caller: 'Okay, here it is.'
Operator: 'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.' Caller: 'I can't reach.'
Operator: 'OK. Well, can you see if it is??'
Caller: 'No.'
Operator: 'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??'
Caller: 'Well, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's because it's dark.'
Operator: 'Dark??'
Caller: 'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.' Operator: 'Well, turn on the office light then.'
Caller: 'I can't.'
Operator: 'No? Why not??'
Caller: 'Because there's a power failure.'
Operator: 'A power .... A power failure? Aha. Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff that your computer came in??'
Caller: 'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.'
Operator: 'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.'
Caller: 'Really? Is it that bad?'
Operator: 'Yes, I'm afraid it is.'
Caller: 'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??'
Operator: 'Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer!!!!!!!

faith

I really need this right now.

Leap of Faith

Leap of Faith
Was it only me
Or did the blind man see
The beautiful rainbow on the mountain top
Couldn’t tell where it began or where it would stop

Was it only meOr did the cripple man break free
And ran up the stairway to heaven
Like he had just rolled a seven or an eleven
Call them leaps of faithShowing strengths unknown
So powerful, you know, you are not alone
Was it only me
Or did the weak man find glory
And learned that love comes as a supernatural energy
And it is for all to share, it is our destiny
Was it only me Or did the poor man find the key
That keeps him from falling into the deep end
It opened his heart and grace fell in
Call them leaps of faith
Baby steps towards eternal salvation
That takes you on a lifelong trip without reservation
Was it only me
Or did the lonely man seek serenity
Learned to judge others equally
Placed everyone on a pedestal so they could all see
That it wasn’t only meIt was always there in reverie
To take that leap of faith into our destiny

-Alfred Ramos-

SHOUT TO THE LORD

“My Jesus, my Savior
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love

My comfort, my Shelter T
ower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you

Shout to the Lord, all the earth
Let us sing.
Power and majesty, praise to the king.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name

I sing for joy at the works of your hands
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you”
This song always give peace to my mind eveytime I'm in some dilemma, sad or stress. Its true when people says you will only remember GOD when you are in trouble or when you need HIS help. I agree with the statement as I am one of them.
Nevertheless, a good song like these hillsong is my way of getting away from any kind or problem. I know some people especially ladies (no offence ya), crying is the best way.
What will you do if you sad, or when you are depress?

Prayer needed

~~~~This entry have been deleted due to some personal reason~~~~

Can it be trusted?

I always turn to soya bean when asked what type of soft drink I love. It is merely because the other soft drink like coke is high is sugar. But After I read about Soy in this email forwarded to me and searching the net about it, I make me scared. What are other option do we have? I guess asking for warm or cold water or even only chinese tea is the safest drink. And I might start ditching all those soy related food like taufo, tempe and even long beans. Gosh the world is no more safe for us now adays.

I went through this and this website to reconfirm and it is quite scary. Anybody can reconfirm about this?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT FOR LADIES

The soya bean is the seed of the leguminous soya bean plant. Soya foods
have been a staple part of the Chinese diet for over 4000 years but have
only been widely consumed in Western countries since the 1960's. Soya
foods include tofu, tempeh, textured vegetable protein (chunks, mince etc), miso, soya sauces, soya oil and margarine, and soya dairy alternatives.

Something to take note of. This is my true story, nothing altered. These are facts, as they relate to my experience, my opinions based on what I have read and felt. I am relating them to warn other young health-conscious women who are unwittingly harming themselves.
In 1989, I graduated from high school in Texas and couldn't wait to hit the big college city. One of the changes I wanted to make was to eat healthier. Once I moved to health-conscious Austin , Texas , I began to fortify my body with the best and healthiest foods I could find.
Tofu was the main ingredient in every healthy dish and I bought soya milk almost every day and used it for everything from cereal to smoothies or just to drink for a quick snack. I bought soya muffins, miso soup with tofu, soybeans, soybean sprouts, etc.
All the literature in all the health and fitness magazines said that soya protected you against everything from heart disease to breast cancer. It was the magical isoflavones, the estrogen-like hormones that all worked to help you stay young and healthy. I looked great, I was working out all the time, but my menstrual cycle was off. At 20, I started taking birth control pills to regulate my menstrual cycle.

In addition to this I began to suffer from painful periods. I began to get puffy, it was as though I was losing my muscle tone. I began to suffer from depression and getting hot flushes. I mistook all this for PMS since my periods were irregular. By the time I was 25, my periods were so bad, I couldn't walk.

The birth control pills never made them regular or less painful so I dec! ided to stop taking them. I went on like this for another two years until I realized my pain wasn't normal. At 27, my gynecologist found two cysts in my uterus. Both were the size of tennis balls. I went through surgery to have them removed and thank God they were benign. The gynecologist told me to go back on birth control pills. I didn't. In1998, he discovered a lump in my breast. Again, I went through surgery and again it was benign.
In November 2000 my glands swelled up and my gums became inflamed. Thinking I had a tooth infection I went to the dentist who told me that teeth were not the problem. After a dose of antibiotics the swelling still did not go down. At this point I could feel a tiny nodule on the right side of my neck. I told my mother I had thyroid trouble. She thought I was being silly. No one in the family suffered from thyroid trouble. Going on a hunch I saw a specialist who diagnosed me with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.
After a series of tests he told me it was cancer. My fiance and I sat stunned. We were not prepared and I was so scared. We scheduled surgery right away. The specialist told us that it would only be after the operation that a pathologist would be able to tell us for sure if it was cancer. They found a tumor in my right lobe composed of irregular cells and another smaller tumor growing on the left, so the entire thyroid was removed.
They told me that after undergoing radioactive iodine I would be safe and assured me that I could live a long life. After treatment I began to search for the cause of all these problems. I never once thought it could be all the soya I had consumed for nearly ten years.
After all, soya is healthy. I came upon a web page that linked thyroid problems to soya intake and the conspiracy of soya marketed as a health food when in fact it is only a toxic by-product of the vegetable oil industry. This was insane, after all, the health and fitness magazines said nothing about soya being harmful.
I visited a herbalist who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 1985. She informed me that soya was the culprit. She had a hysterectomy due to cysts and other uterine problems. A few months later another acquaintance who had consumed soya came down with thyroid cancer. A girl in England I met through the Internet in a thyroid cancer forum had just undergone surgery and she was only 19. What was going on???? Breast cancer is linked to estrogen. What mimics estrogen in the female body, SOYA!

But I never suspected soya because until now I never once found a single article that stated soya could be dangerous. Women who took soya prior to thyroid problems will continue to take it after if they are not aware of what soya actually does, what it contains and how it reacts in the female body. I think this is the reason that women with thyroid cancer often develop breast cancer later.

My co-worker is big into soya and I see her losing hair and gaining weigh despite a walking workout during her break and after work, and apples and oranges for lunch. She just had cysts removed from her uterus too. I warned her to stay off soya. I referred her to websites but until it is on the evening news on all four networks, women will suffer. Since the thyroidectomy, I do not touch soya, haven't for two years.

Dear readers, please use my story in any way you can. There are so many young girls who are consuming soya because they think they are taking care of themselves, and women taking soya because they want to be healthy.

It is so unfair that the information about the dangers of soya isn't more widely circulated. It is sad. There are many out there who feel this way and it is a terrible blow when you realize you are not as healthy as you thought and that the information that you depended on was wrong. check the attached link too for more information...

THE GREATEST ADVICE -Rick Warren, the Purpose Driven Life

When is the last time I update my blog?. Well it's not because I am lazy, but its because I can't put things in words. So as not to abandon you my dear Diary, I am going to post and share this greatest advice by Rick Warren. Really an eye opener.

THE GREATEST ADVICE -Rick Warren, the Purpose Driven Life

Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.

Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.

Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough & know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.
Don't stagnate!Don't regress.

Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your
biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for some
of life's more hasty decisions.

To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.

To make yourself happy, pursue your passions & be the best of what you
can be.
Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits,
and dangerous liaisons.Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.

Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.
Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.

Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words.
Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.

Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.

Cry at the movies.Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.

It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.

Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your
life that you'll never get back.
Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give to
someone is your time.
Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is
T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or
provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves .

Which one is better?

Situation A
Baby is working with a private sector where people say pay a big sum of salary. Never did people know that her monthly income is only RM2K++ without any allowances as what the Government people are earning. Her net income after deducting Insurance, EPF, Socso etc, is RM1,500++. The following are her monthly expenses after her net salary :_

Pay Car Installment = RM570.00
Pay HP bills = RM50.00
Pay Credit Card ( 1 card) = RM300.00
Pay maid = RM150.00
Other monthly installment = RM200.00
B’fast & Launch
(RM7 x 5 days x 4 weeks) = RM140.00 (kuih in the morning & nasi lemak for launch)

Total monthly expenses = RM1,410.00

NET Balance income = RM90.00

Note : She’s using her own car to work and share with her husband on the petrol which cost them RM90 per week. (No weekend, no shopping)

Can somebody tell her how to survive with her net balance of income?

Situation B
Jamie is working as a government servant earning about RM4,000 ++ with all the government allowances. He also provided with government vehicle and of course with free petrol. After deducting loans, pension/EPF, and other deductions, his net take home pay is around RM2K++. He also earn extra income from his land tenancy which he get around RM3,000++ (just to put the figure at a minimum amount). Someone’s Pension RM800++ payable to him. His other expenses is as follows:-

Pay Car Installment = RM1,500.00
(Just bought new car and have 1 other car which he have finish paying)
Electricity = RM200.00
Water = RM100.00
Credit Card (3 cards) = RM300.00
Handphone Bill = RM100.00
B’fast & lunch = RM500.00 (campur belanja GF)
Other expenses = RM300.00
Total monthly expenses = RM3,000.00

NET Balance income = RM2,800.00


Situation C
Diana is also working with the government (in education field) and earning RM3,000++ monthly. After deducting all the other necessary deduction will bring home around RM2K++.Work place is just 15 minutes drive form home (plus jam. With no jam less than 10 minutes.). Her other expenses is as follows:-

Pay Car installment = RM900.00
Pay Study Loan = RM300.00
Handphone bill = RM70.00
Credit Card (3 cards) = RM200.00
House phone = RM30.00
Pay maid = RM150.00

Total monthly expenses = RM1,650.00

NET Balance Income = RM350.00

You guys be the judge, who earn a lot and not going to suffer even have to come out with an emergency money of RM850 for only one month? Who have to work extra hour to cover up expenses and in order to save money? Who have really sweet time enjoying life?

One task down..

.. Yes it is now official and I am proud to announce that I have completed one of my tasks. Remember me talking about buying a new Digicam since the old one died on me? Well my ole Sony Cyber shoot was official sold to a friend of mine and now I am a new owner of a different brand of Digicam.

Hubby & I have put a lot of thought on which one to buy. So after much thinking done and after getting a hand of the camera, we have decided to “adopt” it.


I have been eying this camera but hubby said (after testing it) the outcome is just the same but wit a way too big difference in price. So introducing my new not so canggih camera. (one day dslr..one day..)
O mine is the one blue in colour


I think this is ok la for a beginner like me. So guest will have to learn and get to know her already. Can’t wait to show off the outcome.

O about the handy cam, we more or less found it but hubby said wait till we found something else. Hmmm.. another search to do.

Live Update..

..Wow... since when did I last update my blog?.. I am again in a state of what people say "writer's blocked" (perasan write pulak saya ni). Well I've got nothing interesting to update which bring me to think the main purpose of this blog. I only have one blog to maintain any I found it difficult to fulfill the responsibility. How about you guys who have More than one blog?.

What actually I have in mind now is .."go vacation...go vacation..". (Balik2 juga kau cakap benda ni.cakap saja tapi tidak pernah pigi pun). Where to go? I have Kuching in mind and Langkawai as well (Just being a good Malaysian. Go local :)). Actually I've been to Kuching last year but for only 3 days 2 night journey and with a very tight schedule. Didn't really have time to enjoy the "ME" time there so I want to make it possible this time to go and visit all the places that Che'gu Carol mentioned in her blog.

Keep finger crossed that I'll go this year. (yes I know Airasia is offering 1M free seat.)

Help needed here

.......What is your first expression when you saw this picture? For me, I’ll say “How I wish I can take beautiful pictures like this.” Yes I love looking and taking scenery pictures especially picture of waterfall, flowers and sunset. I have been dreaming of getting a gadget which can help me to capture beautiful pictures.

My friends said that its not about having an expensive gadget, but the angel you took the picture. Anybody have any idea on the remark?.

I also need to have Camcorder. Well sometimes having this gadget more or less help you in keeping all the memories in your life right.

So guys, those of you who have any comment on this issue, please give me some idea.

p/s I am also on a very tight budget. Say RM3K for both? (crazy right)

The Breakaway part 2

.. On the second day of our breakaway, we start as early as 7.00 am where we had breakfast at the hotel and move to the next visiting place at about 8.00 am. Have to go though two sets of Immigration check. The local one is not that long and difficult but the second one we spent nearly half an hour waiting for our turn.

So where is this next destination for our breakaway? I know most of you must know this place.

Guess it right? Yes we went to Singapore for a half day shopping trip. Hubby and yours truly was hopping for a site seeing trip but we were out numbered by those who want to go for shopping.

(pssst..ignore the fat toe)


We were dropped at this place and we went our own way looking for what we are looking for. Hubby and me walk a long the street hopping to find a beautiful place but being a so called "tourist", we don't dare to go further (takut sesat tidak dapat balik Sabah bah). So what we do, we walk, went in all the shopping complexes that we found (for the air-condition that is and also to look for place to sit), do some souvenir shopping at Lucky Plaza (The only place we spend our Sing Dollar), took picture (which you can see most of it in my facebook) and that's it. Not a very interesting journey eh but at least I can boost that I've been to Singapore. *clap..clap..*


(One of the shopping complex we don't dare to make a purchase)


(me resting)

Went back to JB at about 3.00 pm with a long queue at the Singapore Immigration (according to the tourist guide, it is a normal phenomena there) and again almost half an hour at the check out counter. Gosh I don't dream to work in Singapore and stay in JB if I have to go through this everyday.

We had our dinner here and went for a walk and some shopping at the shopping complex inside this place called The Zone (a free duty shopping complex in JB).



The following day, we went for the Sunday Mass at this Church, an old but beautiful Church.

Went for a short shopping at Kotaraya and start packing for our Journey home. Indeed this is a short Breakaway but I really enjoyed it and looking forward for the next trip. They said I am already qualified for next year’s trip; it is a matter of getting a higher reward. Keep fingered crossed.
