Education Website for Children

I called my friend and wish to meet her for coffee due to we've never been seeing each other for quite long time. I went to the coffee house earlier than meeting time, so i ordered some drink and snack while waiting for my friend to come. My friend told me that his son score in his examination.

I wondered because as i know, she never send her son for tuition, and my friend is a career-woman who only has free time at night. . So, i asked my friend how her son can score all the subjects as it's not easy to score with only teaching lessons provided in school. My friend told me that , she joined as member in a website called ScoreA , and her son will complete the practice exercise from the website according to the standard level. My friend will examine the answer one by one every night and give explanation to the wrong answer done by her son. Since that, her son improves a lot and succeed to score all the subjects.

Well, i came acrossed the website just now, and found that it's really a good and excellent website for children. It contains pass year questions, questions by Topics, notes that ease the understanding to children. Have a look if you are interested and let me know, i could explain more about that to you.

Now its the turn for Milk Powder Price increase

I remembered that last two weeks, i had my lunch as fried mee, and the price has increased 20 cents per plate. I was going for my lunch at a hawker centre today which near to Sunshine Shopping Complex. I went to the complex after lunch as my colleague has something to buy. I am aware that milk podwer price is going to increase beginning of Nov, but i am not sure how many percentage it takes for the increment.

I went to the milk powder dept to have a look for the old price before it increase. Wow, i remebered Anmum ( for Pregnant Woman) milk podwer was $ 36 dollars since last week, but the price tag of the milk powder, it is now $39.90, which is almost 10% increased from the old price. It is really a big increment esspecially for the family with few small children to be feed.

Flour price increased, now milk powder price increased, i am not sure anything else is going to increase soon..but one thing i am sure is the working salary is not increase..Haha...

Bad Luck Day of mine

I left office at 8pm last night, and my pc is in good functionality before i shutted down.. When i came to work this morning, as usual, i powered on my pc and continue my work. It pops up a message saying that my E drive was corrupted. Oh no, all my back-up, files, worksheets are inside E drive. Sicne it was corrupted, i was not able to view my E drive. I try few ways to solve the problem and it failed too.

Finally, i have to go to a computer shop nearby to buy a new Maxtor hard disc, and format it.after 30 minutes, i managed to start doing my job with this new hard disc, but i took quite some time to re-do my work which i saved in old disc E drive and could not be viewed. It is really bad luck day for me.

AMWAY Protein Powder

I went to visit my friend who just gave birth last few week. She get a very cute baby girl. The baby was sleeping while my visiting. I found that the baby girl has a smooth and fair skin. The cheeks are red and its really inviting to pinch. I was curious and ask my friend about this.

My friend told me that she has taken Amway Protein during her prenancy everyday. She took 2 soupspoons per day. It is only cost RM80 for Amway member. It is affordable to her and it can strengthern our immune system, build our muscle . Furthermore, the protein powder contain calcium that needed by a baby and pregnant woman during the pregnacy.

Wow, due to i am also a pregnant woman now, i will start taking Amway protein start from today, so that i could have a " white white fat fat " baby early next year.

THANKS UNCLE LIM

One of my colleague will treat us a quite big meal, i was curious what had caused this colleague to spend this lunch. He told me that he won 4D last night because of generousity of Uncle Lim. Then i asked him Uncle Lim passed away, how he helped you?

He told me that due to Uncle Lim death, and last week, Magnum4D first prize is 3909 , this is the aged of Uncle Lim, he dint get the winning number as he dint bet for this. And since last week, my colleague started to bet Genting group telephone number which is the last 4 digit is 1118. Due to 1118 is a "hot" digit for illegal Betting Centre, and its not allowed to buy anymore, so my colleague decided to buy the reversed digit which is 8111.

There is first prize with digit 8111 in PMP Betting Centre and my colleague won about RM5000. Wow...Its quite a attractive amount that he won...He was so talented, as for me, i will not think about this digit and buy reversed. Anyway, thanks for the lunch.

Election is coming soon

Malaysia is going to have general election very soon. As a Malaysian, we are qualified to vote since 21 years, anyway, we need to register as a voter at post office before we can proceed voting.

For those who qualified to vote, pelase refer to Electoral site to check if your name is still in electoral rolls.

I am already 27 years old, but i never registered as a voter..Haha..Hey, come on, exercise your VOTE!!

Increased 20cents

My colleagues and I went out for lunch together at a hawker centre nearby. I ordered a plate of fried mee and when I finished the meal, I go to pay for it. I was shocked when the man told me that it cost RM 3.00. I remembered that it is only RM2.80 since last week, so I asked the man, why increased the price to RM3.00? The man said that the price of mee podwer was increased since last week.

It is really unreasonable. The podwer of mee increased 20 cents per kg, but the hawker increased 20 cents per plate. Let say if 1kg of podwer produced 5 plate of mee, then the hawker increased 1 dollar totally . Its really unbelievable the hawker make money like this nowadays.

I think I will start taking bread or biscuits from tomorrow onwards..Hahaha…

Rest-In-Peace, Uncle Lim

I was free and nothing to do in the office just now, so i came across The Star and knowing that Genting founder, Mr Lim Goh Tong, passed away this morning at 11.20am at Subang Jaya Medical Centre. Mr Lim, one of my most respect person in this world. I still remembered that Mr Lim has just celebrated his 90-years old birthday April 2007 with his family.

Mr Lim, is the founder of Genting Group in 1965. He migrated from China with uncle and work very very hard in Malaysia to earn for ordinary life. With his unyielding and innovation willpower, he has expanded from initial hotel- Genting Resort, to Plantation-Asiatic, to paper Production- Genting Sanyen and so on...

He has a lot of good examples that we should learning from him. Well, Rest-In-Peace, Uncle Lim.

A Sad News

I was reading a online newspaper, www.chinapress.com.my last night before i left my office. I was sad to read a news that, there is a couple from Sarawak, commit suicide in a house. Two little couple who are only 18 years old, wearing read shirt, tied the hand with red rope, and take poison together at home when all of the family members were went out.

I am not sure what had caused them to make this decision, but i strongly believed that they have been struggling for long time before they choose this " road". The person who get more pain and sorrow definitely are their parents who took care of them and love them since young. Why this little couple just "go away" without thinking of the others that concern about them and love them?

Durian

Malaysia is having durian season now. All my family members are durian lovers,so we went to a Malay village to buy durians from my father's friends. As you know, durian is "King of the Fruits" in Malaysia. It contains much of vitamins and glucose that good to us. Durians can be produced into cake, ice-cream, bun, jelly and so on.

When we arrived the village, my father's friend open 3 pcs of durians for us, mmmm....taste nice, delicious!! The smell really The meat of the durians full with yellow-orrange colours, so attractive and inviting.

We finished all the 3 pcs durians, and my father bought about 100 dollars durians from his friends. Our car is full with the smell of durians , but we went home happily.

Hot Market

My colleague told me that there is a 50% sales for all items in Hot Market at BJ Shopping Complex. It cannot be denied that i am actually a super-shopper esppecially for sales items, so i went to Hot Market during lunch time just now.

Wow, when i stepped in Hot Market, its full with 50% sales board at every corner. From stationary to souvenir, from clothes to hair accessories, from decorations to bowls, all are 50% discount.

I told myself that i can only spend 30 dollars there, so i started to look at my favourite items. Finally i bought 2 small bottles of nails painting, 3 pairs of ear rings, 2 colourful travelling cap, a piece of pink hairpin, 3 pcs of baby napkin, 2 bunch of decorated flowers, one box of classic tea set, 3 pack of tissue papers. i spent about two hours there, and lastly, all items costed me 65 dollars which is out of my budget.

Anyway, even its 35 dollars out of my budget, i still paid for it as the goods are actually cost 130 dollars if i buy them in normal day with no discounts.

Cholesterol

Last Sunday, I went Sungai Petani to visit my uncle who migrated to Australia, came back to Malaysia for new weeks. We knew that previously my uncle had a high cholesterol around 7.5 LDL, and his cholesterol has decreased and now is in safe / normal level which is 5.++ LDL . We were curious, since its not easy to control the cholesterol in our body due to there are a lot of fry and oily food nowadays and we take them frequently in our daily life.

My uncle told us that he still take fry food, and there is a method to avoid l the cholesterol from increasing. 1. Firstly chop the garlic and mix the garlic in a pot of hot chinese tea.
2 Steep the chppoed garlic into the pot for 10- 15 minutes
3. Por the tea into a cup and drink

My uncle drink the tea every morning before he take breakfast and water. After three months, he took a medical check-up at Australia, and the doctor informed him that his cholesterol LDL has dereased to 5.3.
Now, he is still taking fry and oily food, and the cholesterol in under control.

For those who has high cholesterol, its no harm to try this out.

RM12 charged for withdrawal

My secondary schoolmates called me to have a small gathering last night. So i went to meet them as i have nothing to do at home. When i reached there, there are few friends already ordered for drink and some junk food and i ordered a blended creamy Latte. We chit-chat for about more than an hour. Before we left, one of my friend make payment to the cafe with total cost RM 115.00.
All of us back home ourselves and my friend who treat us for the meal ,asked me to accompany her to withdraw some money from a nearby bank. When we reached the SC bank with the ATM without MEPS, my friend started withdrawed the money and checked balance of the saving. She found that she was charged RM 12 for the withdrawal.
We were shocked of the charge, as we are aware that we will be charged RM1 for each interbank MEPS ATM, but we just realised that if we did withdrawal using MEPS ATM card from SC Bank ATM machine, we will be charged RM12.
The reason is because its a Non-MEPS ATM

Important to Maintain a relationship

Nowadays, there is different kind of relationship among people and people, some are friends, couples, family, colleagues and so on..A good and warm relationship will make us live happilly and peacefully.

How to maintain a good relationship? Basically for all relationships, trust and tolerant are very important. If we have too much suspicious towards friends, couple, family, it is definitely will make our relationship worse. Among family, we should share our happiness and sorrowness with parents as they are the person that closest to us. But when we are not at home, friends are the one who can help us and borrow us the shoulder when we sad. Therefore, in a true and sincere relationship, we should treat everyone sincerely and truly from heart but not "good in front, scold at behind"..

1200 Steps to Cheng Ji Chan Temple

Last Saturday midnight, i followed a temple commitee to go to Cheng Ji Chan Temple at Penang. Cheng Ji Chan is a temple for Nine Emperors. It was my second times to hike this slanting mountain and staircases.

We travelled at 11.30pm from Permatang Tinggi and we arrived at the foot of the hill around 12.30am Sunday. We start our journey to Cheng Ji Chan. The day was dark and staricases were wet as it was raining all the day on Saturday, so we step carefully in order to avoid slipping down. Its a quite tiring gasping journey as we need to take 1200 steps to reach the peak of mountain. And after 2 hours, we managed to arrive the peak of the mountain which has few temples..Wow, the air there was refreshing and breathtaking, its is really a attractive places with twinkle lights of the temples. We started to pray, and take a short rest there while waiting for others to finished praying.

We went down the mountain around 3.30am in the morning. Unfortunately, one of the commitee falled down due to the slippery staircases, luckily its was just a small injured with blood. Due to the slippery, all of us are paying more attention to step down slowly and carefully. When i reached home, its already 7am in the morning, i took a refreshing bath, and go for bed and rest. It was my second times to go to Cheng Ji Chan. I wish i could go again next year.

One of my friend ordered Har Mee, with three big prawns, few slices of pork, egg and etc. Its a really enjoyable and unforgettable food trip in Penang.

Phenomena --Queensbay Mall

This coming Nov, i will attend my cousin wedding, due to growing in weight, all my previous pretty nice dress cannot fit me..Thus, thinking of to have a nice dress with pretty image, i went to Queensbay after working hour..

There is a boutique named Phenomena, the dresses are special designed and therefore ,the price also " special designed" = Expensive..While choosing and trying the dress, there are two dresses i like the most, one is pink with V-shape, another one is purple with big ribbon..I like both very much, but the price caused me can only buy one..

Let's guess how much the pink and purple dress? the pink dress cost RM385, while the purple dress cost RM450..Its nearly RM1000 for both,at last i buy the pink dress..Haha..Because its cheaper..

Poor friend and her daughter

Last Sunday, i called my friend, Jane to shop together at Gurney Plaza as there is a big sales at Parkson. Jane told me that she has no mood to shop, i wonder why as Jane is a super-shopper..Well, Jane told me a case that happened to her daughter, Lina..

According to Jane, she had a bad experience in the Jln Bagan Jermal (opp Indian temple, beside Eden cake) Hope clinic. A Dr. Chew (senior dr) saw Lina and told us that her lips area ligament was torn, and have to apply some cream & must take anti-biotic. The very same Sunday night after taking her medicine & applied cream, she cried later and vomited. And the remaining of the night, she cried for few hours until slept. The next Monday morning, she had no voice. Jane took her to Adventist on Mon to check up again. Showed the new Dr the medicine prescribed by Dr Chew. The Adventist Dr said the anti-biotic given was very strong (not for children) and was to treat for kidney, and side effect was vomiting. And the lip cream was a steroid based. Both prescriptions were WRONG. And this Dr Chew charged RM80 for it.

Later Jane found out that the doctors in this Clinic has a commission for every medicine they prescribed. Really cant imagine that such Dr is really no ethic, He merely making profit rather than treating Lina..

The laksa there is not as sour as asam laksa in penang island..Its abit sweet and sour..And after you take laksa, you can take cendol, wow...its really enjoyable after you take spicy laksa and then follow with cool and cold cendol esspecially in a hot day.. :)

Heavy Traffic

Monday again..Every Monday, there will be a very very heavy jam at toll Penang Bridge, i wonder why..If every vehicle maintain their speed, there would be no traffic jam..its can be jam few hours in the morning on every monday..From lorry to bus, from car to motorcycle, and when 5 lanes at toll decrease into 2 lanes on bridge, everyone try to be as fast as they can, since them, traffic jam occured..I have nice mood to work every monday, but when i arrive toll, my mood will turn into "down"..Where is the tolerance? i Wonder..
