A letter or a report?

Arrived Sydney today. My seat got changed 3 times! (Nil comment.) At least I got a side seat. First thing I did in Sydney -> Go to bank.
First thing I did at home -> Slept the whole day.

When I woke up, I came across to this email from high school friend (we haven't been in contact for a long time). So, I take the letter seriously and answered carefully. This is a good letter, when you have not been in contact with someone else for a long time and doesn't know how to start a conversation.

I am writting it here and hopefully will have some respond from my friends. Some simple questions let me know how have you been. I still remember you, still concern about you. Or you can remind me, we were once a good friend and in the future too =D

问卷游戏规则：看完别人的问卷后，把所有的答案改成你自己的，然后寄给你认识的人，包括寄这封信给你的人。这个理论要说的是,你将了解你的朋友更多~~~~把邮件也寄回你的寄件人。你永远不知道你会从中学到些什么。
有空的话记得回复 ......

Sugar Sugar Sugar

What is sugar? Sugar is a form of Carbohydrate 淡水化合物

Why do we use sugar? Sugar provide energy, taste, colour, thickness, and used as preservative
Sugar intake from where? Majority from natural food and processed food (such as fruits, rice, pasta, cereal, biscuits, and dairy products) and minority from added refined sugar to drinks, and sweets that has only little nutritious value.

How much sugar to take?
- Man (30-60yo; 80kg) can consume 24-32 teaspoons/day
- Woman (30-60yo; 65kg) can consume 19-25 teaspoons/day
12g sugar=3 teaspoons

Some sugar is better than other? Yup, there is tool called Glycaemic Index (GI) which use to measure how the sugar in different food affect body blood glucose.
The rule of thumb is- The lower the number, the better.
Low GI (<50)>70) foods raise and falls our blood glucose rapidly and sharply. Thus, our blood glucose will shoot high up after consuming High GI food. And of course, we will feel hungry soon after. (eg. white rice, white breads, extruded cereals, baked potato, watermelon, refined table sugar)

The question is:
Rate the following drinks according to their sugar content.
1) A can of coke; 2) A cup of fresh squeze Orange juice; 3) Sport drinks

The answer is:
1) A cup of fresh squeze orange juice contained 10.5 teaspoons of sugar! (So, you still think fresh juice is good?)
2) A can of coke contained 10 teaspoons of sugar!
3) A cup of sport drinks contained 9 teaspoons of sugar! (that's why u need it to boost your energy for activities)

家家有本难念的经;狗狗也有本难念的经

我家里的人都伤了.
家里的狗狗也伤了.

我家有四只狗：
两只狗痞了。
一只狗聋了。
另一只是过动儿。

我家现在有五个人：
我爸，我弟都扭到脚了。（他们都肖狗）
我妹耳朵常常听不到。
我是过动儿，永远坐不静。

还有一位,我妈？
我妈昨天被狗咬

失去了才懂得珍惜

我就是那么的讨人厌.
没有的时候就埋怨.
得到了又不懂得珍惜.

他提醒了我,
要懂得珍惜,
要不然,
失去了又后悔了.

1 U, the shopping mall...

This is what we did in 1 Utama Shopping Centre.

We were lucky to get a parking so soon, my friend has to wait for 30 minutes for a car park. So, I walked here and there. I did enjoy myself. Even though I didn't buy anything, but I just enjoy window shopping. That s what I always do in Australia. My parents just don't understand my feeling, they think is a waste of time. I can understand why they don't understand my feeling. Anyway, we had doughnut afternoon tea + taiwan 小吃.

Today my mum got bitten by our dog. (I am gonna kill the dog, stupid old dog!) My sister said my mum has the dog's symptoms already -_-" Ah ma appears tired today, but I guess she will get better soon. She had an injection to prevent the poison from spreading.

Interesting Sunday huh~

CHILI for Weight Loss?

CHILLI is so common in our daily meals (1/3 of world's population consume chilli daily). Chilli is a native fiery fruit of South America.

Chilli is packed of vitamin C, fibre, potassium and some B group vitamins. Especially the capsaicin component in chilli plays a major role for many health benefits.

Capsaicin is thought to:
1) Ease cold & Flu. Capsaicin opens the nasal passages, easing congestion. Also, vitamin C in chilli is useful for cold prevention.
2) Assist weight loss. Capsaicin increase metabolic rate which help to burn calories.
3) Reduce cholesterol
4) Treatment for high blood pressure
5) Relieve arthritis pain via topical cream. Capsaicin has an anti-inflammatory effect.
6) Possibly kill cancer cells. (still in investigation)

Capsaicin stimulate the tongue sensor of heat and pain, tricking the brain to think the tongue is on fire. When chilli is too hot, DRINK milk, NOT water. This is because the casein in milk (or other dairy products) will strip the capsaicin from the tongue.

The hottest part of chilli is the seeds and the flesh around the seeds. The flesh has the greatest concentration of the capsaicin.The "King Cobra Chilli" (or Naga Jolokia) origin from India is rated as the hottest chilli in the world (as shown in the picture above).

前天死火，昨天没油，今天爆胎，明天？

The day before, my mum’s ex-WAJA wasn’t working properly. It broke down in the middle of the road. It was extremely dangerous! And apparently, it has been like that for half a year but my mum unwilling to change the car this year! Oh my Godness, if it wasn’t us who persuade her to get her car change, I guess my mum and my bro life is in danger! So, she changed her WAJA to MYVI.

Yesterday, we went to watch my bro basketball match and my mum forgot to refill the fuel for her new MYVI. (MYVI always need to refill fuel- every 3 days!) Oh well, of course, my mum start to complain about her MYVI. Excuse me, mum, there is no such things call P.E.R.F.E.C.T. The main point is to look at the good thing about MYVI not the ugly. Anyway, we were exceptionally scared that the new car will break down again! As we weren’t with our dad and is already late at night, my mum can’t really see in the dark!! Plus the area is new to us and we still far far away from our house~ Thank God, after 20 minutes drive, our life saver, BHP fuel station appears!! However, things don’t always go easy for us, especially CAR! After we refill, the fuel signal doesn’t goes up to the top and still remain at the bottom and the fuel signal still keep blinking non-stop. OMG!!!! I checked the receipt and indicated we did really refill for sure. Then, stupid me thought is because the fuel station is out of fuel (coz is late at night) but still charge us!! Obviously, this is not gonna to happen -.- is just my imagination was too good~ yea right… Anyway, in the end, the fuel signal took about 20 minutes to back to normal. Phew~ (even slower than my sister and the turtle in my backyard.

Today, we went to watch Harry Potter, again at night. By the time, we finished the movie is already 12am. Just a short comment about the movie- I like the movie. (I m not a good journalist, if I gave such a comment in newspaper, I got fired the next day for sure.) Oh well, plus another sentence of comment- I got shock once, everyone in the cinema jump slightly off the chair for one scene). Anyway, back to our topic, on the way back, just a short distance from Jusco, but our car still want to give us trouble~!!! So, my dad’s car’s TAYAR PUNCIT!!!! =_= this is seriously dangerous, it puncit until the car has to rely on the wheel ring to drive -.- The sound was scary, the car was very unbalanced! (of course!) Stupid me, again, go over to my sister and brother side (because is the wheel near me that is break down) Even though I knew this will not work -_- The short distance from Jusco to our house took about 2 hours. We stopped at Shell station (Fuel station is always our life saver~) Then, we don’t know how to get the spare wheel out of the car, it took us ages to figure it, plus is dark, we have to rely on mobile phone’s light. In the end, we failed to get the spare wheel out. Is the car specialist that we knew got it out for us, and of course a service charge of RM50. Sigh, that is not the end of the story, on the way back from the fuel station, the car makes the noise of *cling cling cling* non-stop!! So, we thought (well, is I thought) the wheel is gonna row out coz the nut is not screw properly?? At last, we arrived home safely. Nobody get hurt, is considered s.a.f.e. The reason of car making those noises is because the person who services our car did not keep the tool properly.

So, whenever you can’t really do anything and you are in trouble, the only thing you can rely on is God. =_=” (At least, that is what I always do)
