Raining or Sunshine

Time flies...having the same old hectic life recently. Wake up everyday and going round and round non stop with the life. I cry and laugh no matter raining or sunshine. However, I got to move on still.

Life isn't a joke, take it seriously but make it simple. To live with happiness even it's bad, to live with humble even it's good.

Just do what you can and live as who you are. Cheers!

Hello World!

Pittsburg State University

My graduate school that I went for few semesters. This video brings back my memories and I saw some familiar faces!!!

"No Manners!!!"

During the Grand Opening Ceremony at the Four Points Hotel yesterday, a lady who seat at the front row before us pissed me off! I don't care who you are and who are around you might know me but I need to clarify with you here.

First of all...you are not quiet enough to respect the function as well, and you don't have the right to judged us and said us no manners! That's the point which really scratch my brain off! Secondly, how do you know we are making troubles? Do you know that we are working as well? Taking photograph of the scene for the function is the assigned job by the management! You said we are not respecting the function, do you know who we are working for???!!! I have patient to hold my fire, or else...I will drag you out from the ball room to pay off the trouble that you had created!

The whole row behind you were assigned for special job by the management and you know nothing about that, and yet...please watch out your mouth. Troubles and problems can be solve better than how you handled, such an unprofessional senior to teach junior!

Beef Noodles @ Jalan Song

Saw this newly opened beef noodles outlet in the newspaper which located at Jalan Song, behind Starbucks or opposite to SCR Express building.

What attracted me from the newspaper advertise was the price...

My another food hunter companion and I went in on Saturday morning which was public holiday as well to check this new opened food outlet. When we walked closed to the outlet, I told myself that I might make a wrong move to the outlet, because I saw less people dine there but my food hunter companion told to tried it up since we were there. We stepped in and order two drinks...soy bean and chinese tea, the chinese tea cost RM0.80 only. The soy bean taste good, not too sweet though and the chinese tea is thick enough for me.

Soy Bean & Chinese Tea

And we ordered the beef noodles that advertised as on the banner outside the outlet...

here comes the beef noodles

The portion not that big but it's enough for my breakfast.

Don't miss this two special sauce...

Surprisingly, the taste had impressed me! Out of my expectation! It's like the long lost taste that I had been looking for many years.

The interior deco...
Outside scene of the outlet...
The banner that attracted me...

It cost only RM3.30 per bowl of beef noodles + soup. The beef slices was worth enough for the price. Total spent for two...not more than RM10!!! The price only available from 8am - 11am everyday. No harm to try folks! Its worth!

Camera Disaster

My camera is in ICU since yesterday. I found that the zoom button is not functioning well couple days ago, since its still under warranty period so I send it to SONY specialist at Satok area. I went to Sony Centre at Spring to get SOS two nights ago but they told me that they do not have the service...like sending my camera to the only Sony Service Centre at Satok to save my time. I wonder why so many Sony branches opened in Kuching but without offering the help. They are friendly while getting business but I was annoyed with the face that showed when I asked their help to send my camera to the Sony Service Centre.

So what! I will do it. Where is your after sells service???

Ten ways to stop those credit card sales, mobile companies, insurance calls from irritating you:

1. After the telemarketer finishes speaking, ask him/her to marry you.
2. Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment, and ask him/her, if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can call him/her back.
3. Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.
4. Tell them it is dinnertime, BUT ask if they would please hold. Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure. Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation.
5. Tell them that all business goes through your agent, and hand the phone to your five year old child.
6. Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up.... Louder... Louder... Louder!
7. If they start out with, "How are you today?", say "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems ............."
8. Tell them to speak very slowly because you want to write every word down.
9. Cry out in surprise, "Helen, is that you? I've been hoping you'd call! How is the family?" When they insist they are not Helen, tell them to stop joking. This works especially well if the telemarketer is really MALE.

Diamond

Diamonds make excellent courtship gifts from this perspective because they are simultaneously very expensive and lack intrinsic value. No man (or woman) can be inherently interested in diamonds; you cannot drive them, you cannot live in them, you cannot do anything with them. Any man who would buy diamonds for a woman must be interested in making an investment in her. Flowers, another favored gift for women, are also relatively expensive and lack intrinsic value. Of course, diamonds and flowers are beautiful, but they are beautiful precisely because they are expensive and lack intrinsic value, which is why it is mostly women who think flowers and diamonds are beautiful. Their beauty lies in their inherent uselessness; this is why Volvos and potatoes are not beautiful. but i like useless things and people.

谨慎使用塑料水瓶

杜拜一个十二岁的女童，因为连续十六个月使用同一个矿泉水瓶，得了癌病。抛开一系列令人眼花缭乱的化学物质，我们怎样使用塑料水瓶才能够避免这个杜拜女孩的不幸遭遇降临在我们自己身上呢？

最直接的方法是查看塑料瓶底的数字（通常在一个小三角印章中）：
印有1 的塑料瓶使用一次是安全的，反复使用容易滋生细菌，而且长时间在太阳下暴晒瓶身也可能使瓶子本身所含有毒物质溶入水中。
印有3、6、7 的彩色塑料瓶，在室温下就有可能泄露能够破坏荷尔蒙的有毒物质。
印有4 或以下数字的，请不要反复或加热使用。

下面是关于常见塑料的信息和用途：
塑料材质编号
<1> 聚乙烯对苯二甲酸酯（polyethylene Terephthalate，PET），俗称宝特瓶。
<2> 高密度聚乙烯(High Density polyethylene，HDPE，PE)
<3> 聚氯乙烯（polyvinyl chloride,PVC）
<4> 低密度聚乙烯(Low Density polyethylene，LDPE，PE)
<5> 聚丙烯（polypropylene，PP）
<6> 聚苯乙烯（polystyrene，PS），若是发泡聚苯乙烯即为俗称之「保丽龙」
<7> 其它类（OTHERS）

ＰＥＴ(polyethylene Terephthalate，聚乙烯对苯二甲酸酯)：
ＰＥＴ最初的用途是做为人造纤维，及底片、磁带等，在 1976 年才用于饮料瓶。
以ＰＥＴ为原料做为填充容器，就是俗称的「宝特瓶」。
宝特瓶的硬度、韧性极佳，质量轻（仅玻璃瓶重量的1/9 ～ 1/15），携带和使用方便，生产时能量消耗少，加上不透气、不挥发，耐酸碱，是碳酸饮料的好包材。
近年来成为碳酸饮料、茶、果汁、包装饮用水、酒及酱油等产品之重要填充容器，此外，如清洁剂、洗发精、食品用油、调味品、甜食品、药品、化妆品、及含酒精饮料的包装瓶子，都已在大量使用宝特瓶。

ＰＶＣ(polyvinyl chloride，聚氯乙烯)：
ＰＶＣ材质的发明相当早，且多方应用于工业产品中，由于ＰＶＣ同样具有其它塑料材质的优点，且在加工上、可塑性上相当优良，加上价钱便宜，使用量很普遍，但大多在非食品方面，像水管、雨衣、书包、建材、塑料膜、塑料盒等等。
在容器用途上，多用于填充植物油、清洁剂、糕饼盒及包装饮用水等。
由于该材质因本身含有氯元素，在制瓶、填充、回收再处理之过程中疑有ＶＣＭ单体易释出，有危害人体健康之虞，再加上近年来环保意识高涨，业者已逐渐改用其它材质为填充容器装填产品。

ＰＥ(「polyethylene，聚乙烯」：
ＰＥ是工业、生活上应用最广的塑料，一般常分为高密度聚乙烯（ＨＤＰＥ）与低密度聚乙烯（ＬＤＰ
Ｅ）两种。
ＰＥ对于酸性和碱性的抵抗力都很优良。ＨＤＰＥ较ＬＤＰＥ熔点高、硬度大，且更耐腐蚀性液体之侵蚀。
目前市面上所见到的塑料袋及各种半透明或不透明的塑料瓶几乎都是ＰＥ所制造，像清洁剂、洗发精、沐浴乳、食用油、农药…等，大部份以ＨＤＰＥ瓶来盛装。ＬＤＰＥ在现代生活中可谓无所不在，不过不是因为它做成的容器，而是你随处可见的─塑料袋。大部份的塑料袋和塑料膜是用ＬＤＰＥ做成的。

ＰＰ(polypropylene，聚丙烯：
ＰＰ与ＰＥ可说是二兄弟，但若干物理性能及机械性能比ＰＥ好，因此制瓶商常以ＰＥ制造瓶身，瓶盖和把手用有较大硬度与强度的ＰＰ来制造。
ＰＰ熔点高达 167℃，耐热，制品可用蒸气消毒是其特点。
以ＰＰ制瓶的，最常见的是豆浆、米浆瓶，还有用来装100％纯果汁、酸奶、果汁饮料、乳制品 (如布丁)等，较大的盛器，像水桶、垃圾桶、洗衣槽、箩筐、篮子等等多是以ＰＰ做成。
近年来亦大量使用于制成免洗餐具或免洗杯(供快餐餐饮业者装填冰品使用，如市面盛行之「快可利」连锁店所用之盛装容器)
该材质容器系属不透明或半透明容器，具备有耐酸碱、耐化学物质、耐碰撞及耐高温(约20℃~120℃)等优点。

ＰＳ(polystyrene，聚苯乙烯)：
ＰＳ吸水性低，且其尺寸安定性佳，可用射模、压模、挤压、热成型加工。
一般依其是否经过「发泡」制程区分为发泡与未发泡两类。未发泡ＰＳ主要应用于建材、玩具、文具等，也可常见制成容器填充发酵乳品（如养乐多、健健美、多多等乳制品或乳酸产品）等，近年来亦大量使用于制成免洗餐具。
发泡ＰＳ（即俗称保丽龙）则是在制程中利用发泡剂作20 倍至100 倍不等之发泡，用于包装家电或信息物品之缓冲包材或具隔热效果之冰淇淋盒、鱼箱等，一般称为EPS（Expanded Polystyrene）；同时也用于制成免洗餐具，这种保丽龙通常先做成平板，称为PSP（Expanded polystyrene Paper），再成形加工成各种容器，亦有以食品级EPS 注模成形的保丽龙，如咖啡杯，烧仙草杯等即是。

What you can do to prevent getting swine influenza or H1N1 Flu...

With the World Health Organization raising the level of concern to a level 5 (still not a pandemic, but spread of disease between humans is occurring in more than one country) and a global epidemic possibly eminent, many people are understandably a bit nervous and anxious that they might catch the H1N1 flu otherwise known as the Swine Flu.

Infectious disease expert are saying that the likely U.S. infection rate will be a fraction of the millions who contract the "regular" flu every season and that many people will still be coming down with the regular flu, not the swine flu.

There are several very simple things one can do to prevent or minimize your chances of getting the swine flu and the regular flu.

These include finding out more about the illness from reliable sources, learning how serious swine flu is, learn what can be done prevent it, discovering what symptoms to watch for and when to seek additional treatment.

Also included is some interesting information about the history of Swine Influenza and Swine Flu as a Zoonosis or an infectious disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans.

The four key things to do that will help in preventing you from getting the H1N1 Flu or Swine Flu:

1. Wash Your Hands
2. Cover Your Cough
3. Don't Touch Your Face
4. Stay Away from People Who are Sick

If you do get sick, stay home so you won't pass it on to anyone else.

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies in the world!

Every year, as usual, I will ask my mom how she want to celebrate mother's day with us...she will just answer me...:"Why are you only asking me on this special day? Can't you just treat everyday as mother's day or father's day if you really want to celebrate."

It's true though...why only treat them special on the day but not everyday? They treat us better than that since we born, taking care of us till the end of their ability.

I still remember the day I make my first cake for my mom, I use flour instead of icing on the cake...even the cake can't be eaten but I can felt that she was touched by my ugly cake. Oh well...she still eat it.

Mom...I love you. That's what I would say to her every year on this special day. You're the best mom for me...I promise I will do the best for you. Happy Mother's Day!

The something else

I had been disturb by certain unsolved and undecided mini mani mo in my head, quite annoying on my daily routine life. I had read my horoscope just now and it kinda express my pain out. This is the advice...

"If you're having a tough time making a decision about something right now, that's an easy problem to overcome -- all you have to do is trust your instincts. And if you can't get in touch with your gut easily, just wait. Be patient, and you will soon start to sense what the right choice is and what feels best. You have to ignore how people might react to your choice, because you have no way of knowing for sure. You can't see the future, you can only aim for it."

Yeah! Trust my instinct!
