擔憂而食

taken from http://www.sinchew.com.my/taxonomy/term/42

1.出門快走。美國加州大學的一項研究認為,愛吃零食的人如果在擔憂時能快走上5分鐘,他們對於零食的注意力就會大大分散,因為快走能提高血液中的復合胺含量,使人心情愉悅,從而有效緩解焦慮。只需要短短5分鐘,就能抑制住自己暴食的衝動,何樂而不為呢?

2.學會放鬆自己。美國俄勒岡大學健康與科學系的最新研究發現,超重的女性們如果每天通過各種方式放鬆一下自己,比如冥想、做瑜伽或者寫日記,那麼無需刻意節食,一年半以後,她們平均會減掉10斤左右。醫學專家們認為,這可能是因為這些自我放鬆的方式就像一個緩衝器一樣,能幫助緩解壓力,使她們不會吃得過量。

3.掌握過度飲食時間。美國北卡羅來納大學查普希爾分校的一個專門針對暴食者的研究項目認為,人最容易暴食的時間是清早和快到傍晚的時候,因為這段時間通常是人體緊張和壓力感最強的時候。所以,想要控制飲食,這段時間最好離廚房和一切能找到食物的地方越遠越好。

News..

It is quite suprising to know this news..

一命赔一命!堕胎婴灵大复

曾经为130万个灵婴做过超度法会的海涛法师神色凝重说,在农历七月这段时期,婴灵会特别期待有人为他超度,而且还要帮婴灵取名字,让他感觉得到重视,再以一颗真诚和忏悔的心来超度他。

虽然,堕胎者已超度婴灵,但,并不表示会永远摆脱他,只因你一堕胎后,就开始了这场无法终止的因果循环,它会无限期地一至延续下去。

他惊人奉劝:如果你们得知周围的家人或朋友堕胎,一定要阻止堕胎的女性,不然,会和堕胎者一样,遭婴灵报仇!

何飞鹏 - 不攀巅峰

I like him.

The philosophy and principle are extraordianry and make him so special..

他怕站在巅峰,不爱花开月圆,因为巅峰之后,就是下坡的开始,花开月圆之后,就要凋谢和缺角。他一直带着戒慎恐惧的心情,不让自己爬到巅峰,用平凡的视角看自己,不想沉溺在别人的吹捧中,骄傲自满,停止成长,走向没落。

所有的创业者,成功企业家,都被人视为很棒的人,站在巅峰的胜利者。何飞鹏这一生却最怕站在巅峰,不是因为高处不胜寒,而是攀上高峰之后,接着就是开始要走下坡了。

骄傲自满,是所有人不断重复的错误,像他这样的凡夫俗子自然也不会例外。

潮起潮落,日出日落,人也不断在卧薪尝胆和骄傲自满之间,不断来回,重复同样的错误和循环。

他说,人生最好的境界是花未全开月未圆,有期待,就有希望,不在巅峰,就不会在别人的吹捧中自满。

人们庸碌一生,为的就是追求圆满,站在巅峰,享受成功的人生。城邦文化事业首席执行长何飞鹏却总在爬到巅峰之前,就开始寻找另一座山,重新努力攀爬的过程

Incident in Mid Valley....MUST READ. Be aware ya !

Be aware ya !


Subject: Incident in
Mid Valley....MUST READ.

Dear All,

I am sending this out to alert everybody regarding this incident that happened to me last Saturday when I was in Mid Valley.

Just beware, it happened to me & might happen to you or your family members as well...


I was in Mid Valley making my way to Coffee Bean to meet my friends there. There was this Indian guy, aged around 30, well
dressed & looked decent, coming my way right in front of Body Shop & greeted me, 'Hai, Miss , you look happy but recently
you have been working too hard... Probably you should stop pushing yourself too much & relax a bit..'


Usually, I will brush him off thinking that he is 'chi sin' - crazy. But that day, unusually, I stopped & listened to him, allowing him to continue with his lines for about a minute.
Fortunately I suddenly felt that something was not right & immediately turned back & moved away from the spot.


When I had made my way to Coffee Bean, after sitting down for a few minutes, I felt very dizzy & sleepy. It took me about half an hour to recover while sitting there. Then, I recalled this Indian guy had a strong fragrant smell while he was talking to me. I do not know how he did it but I was nearly trapped. Something similar happened to one of my friends in KLIA before but I never expected it to happen in a busy place like Mid Valley. Maybe our mothers were right.....do not talk to strangers but they forget to tell us, NOT TO EVEN LISTEN TO STRANGERS.


Please pass around and alert all your loved ones...IT COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE (not for gals only, everyone will be next victim)!!!

Malaysians can observe meteor shower tonight

By K. KASTURI DEWI

kasturidewi@thestar.com.my

GEORGE TOWN: Malaysians will be able to sight up to a total of 100 Perseid meteors per hour streaking across the northern sky in the wee hours of Thursday morning.

Universiti Sains Malaysia’s Astronomy Atmospheric Science Unit lecturer Assoc Prof Dr Chong Hon Yew said that according to the International Meteor Organisation (IMO). the meteor shower is expected to be best viewed from 1.30am to 4am on Thursday.

“The shower could have started on July 24 and is expected to be observed until Aug 17.

“It is however predicted that during the peak viewing time (Thursday morning), the moon will be high in the sky, outshining the fainter meteors.

“There is a good chance for observers to spot the brighter meteors however,” he said on Wednesday.

Dr Chong also hoped the weather would be favourable for the Perseids to be seen.

Those who miss tomorrow’s meteor shower may still catch a “lesser version” after midnight Thursday, or early Friday morning.

Dr Chong said the Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle which are usually fast, bright and occasionally leave persistent trains.

“The point they come from lies in the constellation of Perseus,” he said.

The Perseid meteor shower has been observed for about 2,000 years, with the first known sighting coming from the Far East.

Every year in August, the Earth passes through rock and dust fragments left behind by the comet Swift-Tuttle. As these small particles collide with the Earth’s atmosphere, they burn up, often creating a startling streak of light across the sky.

The shower is visible from mid-July each year, with the greatest activity between Aug 8 and Aug 14, peaking at about Aug 12.

Dr Chong said the meteor shower can be observed with the naked eye.

Improve English fast

Improve English fast

Shared via AddThis


Improve English fast I AM referring to the article “Many object to making English a must pass SPM subject” (The Star, June 10).
I am a software project manager for a large company in Cyberjaya. I resided in the United Kingdom for almost 12 years; first studying for my bachelors/masters degree and then working in the software engineering field.

Since returning to Malaysia over a year ago, I am shocked and dismayed to find out how poor our command of the English Language has become. Our company is currently on a recruitment drive, and most of the interviewees who turned up spoke broken English at best. Most were local graduates.

This is not acceptable and Malaysia cannot compete on a world stage if this continues. China’s main language is Mandarin, however, they are taking concrete steps to improve their English.
Most of the engineers I worked with from China recently could speak good English, as well as their mother tongue. This is in stark contrast to the situation 10 to 20 years ago, when the English level there was poor.

Like it or not, English is a must for survival. Time is being wasted. How many more generations of our bright students and young minds are we going to experiment with?
Just bite the bullet and get on with it. Our window of opportunity to keep abreast with the rest of the world is narrowing.

Mission for Have you McValue LUNCH-ed this week? :)

Last week, I saw this advertisement from my friend's (Jeffrey) blog..

It is a competition, but I just want to enter for fun.
However, got to find someone to bring me to the specific venue to complete this risky MISSION !

Em, after insomnia for a whole night, I come out with an Evil Plan to fulfill my task.

In that afternoon, I go to campus as usual for group study.


I open the newspaper with the McValue LUNCH advertisement and show it to our food adviser, Kim San to evaluate it.

However, Jeffrey and Wei Keong are too preoccupied with their study. Final is stressful.. Haiz..

I managed to persuade Kim San to announce our lunch destination to the guys.
And the guys start to discuss about it..

Wei Keong : McDonald? Expensive lah!! Pig head , Don't you know I want to save money for buying laptop mie??

Kim San : Nope!! Not expensive at all! It just costs you from RM 5.95 to RM 7.95 for a set of McValue LUNCH. You can choose Filet-O-Fish, McChicken, Spicy Chicken McDeluxe or Big Mac, with French Fries and also refilled-able carbonated soft drink!

Me : I'm starving!! (My saliva nearly spilt out..)

Jeffrey :
What?? Got so cheap set offer by McDonald?? Is that rumours or fake one?

Me :
Impossible la! This is the Sun newspaper le, the whole Malaysia reading it! By the way, this McValue Lunch just valid from 12pm to 3pm, we better depart now or we will lose the great promotion today!!

Kim San : Hunger attack la.. Don't hesitate.. Let's GO!! (saying while showing his own trademarked pointing finger)

Wei Keong :
Okay okay..

25% of my mission completed..

So, Wei Keong fetchs us to McDonald at Jaya Jusco nearby.

Within 15min time, we reach our destination. McDonald!

"Baba bababa, I'm loving it!" sang by Jefrrey.

Kim San : Duh, duh, the advertisement is here. You see, I can touch it so easily.

Wei Keong : Show off!

haha.. "duh duh" is spoken by melaccans of meaning "here". They are funny, aren't they?

Me : I want 3 sets of Spicy Chicken McDeluxe set of McValue Lunch.

Cashier : Are you sure you can finish them?

Me : Hoho.. Sure la.. (I just order for my friends.. I'm starving, your lovely and killing smile didn't make me feel full and secure at all.. Haha.. Just kidding..)


Kim San : Hei, Wei Keong, that is mine!!

Wei Keong : I don't care. I want it to be mine.

Kim San : Huh, don't forget I have the longest hand in Malaysia le!! And respect me as the food adviser!! Let me taste first!!

(Kim San is the tallest among us, with long hands and legs, because he is 196cm tall.

Kim San : I get it! Haha.. Don't fight with me, because you will never win. hahaha..

Yummy!! The greatest food production in the Universe! Thanks to McDonald for spending so much money on it.

Suddenly....

Jeffrey : Stop!! There are mine..

Jeffrey : (3 of us staring him) hehe.. Just kidding.. Let's share.. Because you will get double joy by sharing. T.T''
Jeffrey, are you chili sauces fans? Eww..



"I prefer tomato sauces. "

" Emmmm.. Fantastic!! "


"Marvellous! "

They are eating devouringly while I'm taking photo.

So, now my turn..

"Bravo!!!!"

"It burns my sensation and melts my heart.. Just love it.. "

Kim San : Haru, JI la!!

(JI means Jaga Imej in Malay)


Me : I don't care la. Let me bite it in my own way.


I can't stop biting the Spicy Chicken McDeluxe until the last bite.
"Huh, it is Song Ka Liao."

(Song Ka Liao means feeling of joy and fullness here.)

"Ei ei, I found something.. "

" 2130 kcal.. Got to go jogging tonight.. Three rounds should be enough.. "

"Hey, it is incredible cheap what! It just costs RM 25.05 after taxes are added.For 3 of us yeah"

"Satisfy with the meal !" " But so sad, the french fried finished so fast. " " Hey, faster finish the drink and refill again , bring it back to campus. "

After half an hour... All boxes are empty..

Our VICTORY..

Yipee.. Mr. Ronald McDonald and I.


" Duh duh, duh duh.."

"Ello? Password please."

"1300-13-1300 . I'm Miss 00haruIng. Mission completed on 140509, 1400, Sir! "

"Congratulation and well done. Mission Accomplished. !"

So, have you McValue LUNCH-ed this week?
