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.

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..
