Date with second women!

Another truly inspiring story shared by Shaun Gwee through email. I would like to share with everyone as well.

Do we forget or ignore something more important to us? When we are busy to sustain our life?

After get marriaged for twenty-one years, i found an unique way to refresh my love life.
Not long ago, I was date with a lady, and the idea was came from my wife. One day my wife said: I know u love her. I was shocked: The one I love is you! She said: I know, but u love her too.

The lady that my wife asked me to visit was my mother. She was alone for ninetwen years, however, I was busy with my job and my children, so I was less likely to visit her. The night, i called her, invited her to have a dinner and movie with me at the second day.

' What happen? Are u alright?', she asked. I answered: I was just thinking that if I have chance to date with u alone, it sure be very interesting. After a while, she said: I do.


The Friday after i worked, I fetched her at her home, felt like a little bit nervous. Because I had never to date with my mom before. When I reached her house, I found that she seems a little bit nervous too. She was in her suite, which she wore during her last wedding anniversary with my dad, waiting me in her house. She made her hair specifically, smiling like an angel.When she get into my car, she proundly said: all my friends were jeolous at me when they know that i'm gonna dating with my son.


We went to a restaurent which was not expensive but with warmth and cozy environment.
My mom hold my hand as she was the wife of president. After seat her, I help her to order her food, Because she only can read the big capital words.


When we were eating, I found she was stare at me, She smile and said: I remembered that during ur childhood, I always make the order for u. I answered: then now is ur chance to take a rest and let me to serve u. We keep talking during our dinner, sharing about our life and some special things heppening these few years. We talked for very long time until we missed the movie. When I fetched her back to her house, she asked: I'd like to date with u next time, but please let me pay the bill next time. I agreed.


When I back to my home, my wife asked: how's ur date with ur mom?
' It was interesting and fun, over my expectation', I answered.


Few days later, my mom was passed away due to heart failure. The thing happened in an unexpected manner,I wasn't prepared for it at all. Soon after this, I received a letter, there are a receipt of the restaurent that I dated with my mom, and a message: I already paid the bill for our next date, even though I know I'd probably won't have chance to date with u anymore, I still pay the bill for wo persons: u and ur wife. U will never know how meaningful the date to me, I love U.


At the moment, I realised: we must always spare our precious time to our beloved, and told them u love them before it is too late. We tend not to tressure them properly when they're alive, but then everything is too late when they are dead.There is nothing more important than ur family, spend more time with them before it is too late.

**Don't make any regret in our life.**

Bangungot - Silent Killer!

Bangungot - Silent Killer!
(Acute Hemorrhagic Pancreatitis)

Most of us don't drink before sleeping because we want to avoid frequent trips to the bathroom.

SILENT KILLER: What u need to know about NIGHTMARE or BANGUNGOT !

It seems only MALES are afflicted with this.

IMPORTANT: Never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8 hour rest. It is sudden death in adults which cause them to die while sleeping. Many theories have been put forward as its cause. However, here is an article which sheds some light to the cause of this malady. Please read on:

Article from THE PHILIPPINE STAR:
The reported cause of actor Rico Yan's death is nightmare or bangungot. Medical investigators in China , Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from "acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis" found out that the majority of them had eaten NOODLES as their supper. This was a startling finding. However, it wasn't the noodles that caused nightmares but DEHYDRATION. Imbibing even with a few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person to dehydrate or lose water. It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it, allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water. The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8 hour rest.

Remember, share with your friends =)

The "99 club"

Thanks to Andrew for another inspiring story~ Hope the reader will have a fun time reading and the same time learnt something!

Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content.

One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy.

The King asked the servant, 'Why are you so happy?'

The man replied, 'Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies.'

The king was not satisfied with that reply. Later in the day, he sought the advice of his most trusted advisor. After hearing the King's woes and the servant's'story, the advisor said, 'Your Majesty, I believe that the servant Has not been made part of The 99 Club.'

'The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?' the King inquired.

The advisor replied, 'Your Majesty, to truly know what The 99 Club is, place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant's doorstep.'

When the servant saw the bag, he took it into his house. When he opened the bag, he let out a great shout of joy... So many gold coins!

He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced that there were 99 coins. He wondered, 'What could've happened to that last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!'

He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive. Finally, exhausted he decided that he was going to have to work harder than ever to earn that gold coin and complete his collection.

From that day, the servant's life was changed. He was overworked, horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin. He stopped singing while he worked.

Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled. When he sought his advisor's help, the advisor said, 'Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined The 99 Club.'

He continued, 'The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never contented, because they're always yearning and Striving for that extra 1, saying to themselves: 'Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life.'

We can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute we're given something bigger and better, we want even more! We lose our sleep, our happiness, we hurt the people around us; all these as a price for our growing needs and desires.

That's the "99 club".

Bananas

Grand ma tales are always the best! I've receive an email from my friend, Shang Jun and he's going to share some facts about bananas with everyone~ Now it is proven scientifically.

Lets eat banana and make the monkeys hungry. Ha ha ha.

A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
This is interesting.
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression:According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power:200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey.. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness:Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.


Overweightand at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness.. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases.. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'

PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!!

The Secret

Hey fellow reader, i have another nice email to share with everyone ^^. It's from my friend , Andrew Low again. I love his emails, short, precise and nice =). I will hereby share with you, The Secret.

The Secret One day, one friend asked another, "How is it that you are always so happy? You have so much energy, And you never seem to get down." With her eyes smiling, she said, "I know the Secret!" "What secret is that?" To which she replied, "I'll tell you all about it, But you have to promise to Share the Secret with others." "The Secret is this: I have learned there is little I can do In my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make Me happy and to meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply According to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don't need half of what I think I do. He has never let me down. Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy." The questioner's first thought was, "That's too simple!" But upon reflecting over her own life She recalled how she thought a bigger house Would make her happy, but it didn't! She thought a better paying job Would make her happy, but it hadn't. When did she realize her greatest happiness? Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, Playing games, eating pizza or reading a story, A simple gift from God. Now you know it too! We can't depend on people to make us happy. Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that. Trust HIM! And now I pass the Secret on to you! So once you get it, what will you do? YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too! That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU! But it's not really a secret... We just have to believe it and do it... Really trust God! Just Pass It On!

Hope everyone will share with message with your friends and family.

Push Pocket

Here's another email concerning awareness to the public regarding Push Pockets. Fellow readers, you may already see this email before; but then this will be your reminder regarding this issue ^^...To those haven't come across witht his article before, I hope it will benefit you~

A genuine message posted by a law firm in Malaysia.
If you're going to KL, take note-

PUSH-POCKET IN KUALA LUMPUR

I am sure you all have heard of 'pick pocket'.
A new trend 'push pocket'.
Read on... for your own good

A few days ago a new type of crime has surfaced in town.
It goes something like this:-
Somebody slips a hand-phone into your pocket,
sometimes it could be just a wallet with
an identity card and a few ringgit.

A few minutes later, the 'owner' comes up
and confronts you, the 'thief '.
He makes a big commotion that you stole his stuff.

You, caught unaware, are then pulled aside by the
'owner' for a settlement. You are intimidated and threatened
that if you do not pay up the police will be brought in.
If you pay up, this 'owner' lets you go..
If not, the police are brought in.

Another strange thing is that there always seems
to be a 'witness' to your 'theft'.

I am told this often happens to foreigners at
the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)
or even at LRT trains.
Given that you're 'guilty until proven innocent'
as far as the Malaysian police are concerned,
I understand some poor people are in jail for
these 'offences'.

At the KLIA, the 'owner' throws his hand-phone and
wallet with the few ringgit notes into the luggage
trolley of a just arrived passenger.
The drama unfolds a few minutes later.
The real culprit has easily convinced our Malaysian police
to arrest the real victim (if he has not paid up the 'settlement' demand).
This is a very serious matter.


This is another form of extortionists operating in broad daylight.
They are disgusting criminals who wi! ll do anything
to rob and steal. The sickening part of the whole
scenario is that unless you pay the 'quoted settlement' money,
they will put you in real trouble by calling the police..

The real culprit gets back his hand-phone
and wallet but the real victim ( i.e. could be any one of us)
is thrown into the police lock up and charged in court.


So do be very careful,
otherwise you may end up as a 'thief'
as you have no way to prove your innocence..

Pass it on......
let more people be aware
of such things around them.

Attitude in Life--

Good day fellow readers, today I will share an email which is sent by my friend Irene.This is excellent and if we adopt this attribute, the world may be a better place and humanity may live in peace and harmony. I'm kinda agree to almost every point and examples in the text. Have fun reading =)

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.

A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is."

Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NO POINTING FINGERS

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"
The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."

We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.

If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television."

There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband, because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up a nd discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NO OVERPOWERING

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another, or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character."

It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.

It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations..



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered,"You should appreciate that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you."

Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

PERSONAL PERCEPTION

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey? "Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.

Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.

It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a nar row bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.

Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BE PATIENT

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.


"Good Life starts only when you stop wanting a better One". Always be contented in what every you have blessed with. You may see it as a bad thing for the time being, but in future when you recap them, you will smile and say "I wouldn't be who I am if those things did not happen upon me.

Reminder: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away "

Life Saving Tips [1]

Good day pals, today I will give tips to my fellow readers on the New/Revised version of Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation [CPR]. Some of it may not be aware that the syllabus for CPR has changed and it is said to be more effective. But then, i've heard the US side is trying to implement something more effective which is only through compression, how true I might not know until it's published and practised. An easy pneumatics that can help everyone to remember. Just remember DRABC in any situation~

D- the alphabet "D" stands for danger. We should always look around us whether there's any
danger that harms you and the casualty. We should always ensure the situation is clear and
free from danger before attending the casualty...Or else you will end up as a casualty too!
lolz~

R- the alphabet "R" stands for Response. How to check for response? Just gently tap on the
casualty's shoulder and ask "Sir, are you alright? Can I help you?" The phrase "can i help
you" is very important here because you can use it as a proof not to have the intention to kill
a casualty. For baby from 1 months old to 16months, you can always tickle the baby's leg to
check for response. If there aren't any response, ask someone to call for the ambulance by
saying "Help! Help! there's a casualty unconscious here, please call the ambulance and
come back to me."

A- the alphabet "A" stands for Airway...It's the main windpipe in our throat that connects from
mouth to nose and to trachea. It is important to check the airway as the air enters and exit depends on it. The next alphabet will tell you how important it is to check airway. Use the method head-tilt-chin-lift [shown in the pic of Below] to help you to check on the airway. Ofcourse you have to open his mouth to check~



B- this alphabet represents breathing, where we have to check whether the casualty is breathing. Check breathing is easy, just 3 things in your mind; look, listen and feel it. You "look" on the chest rise, cause your chest will rise if your breathing, listen to the casualty's breath and feel the breath. If he/she does, place him/her in recovery position [will be discuss next time]. If the casualty has no breathing, straight proceed to give 2 rescue breaths or some may known as rescue blows. There is no longer the need of checking pulse, straight jump to cardiac compression.





The last alphabet, "C" stands for compression. Use the nipple line as a guide for effective compression. Your hands must be placed on the casualty's breast bone [sternum]. When you compress, make sure it isn't too deep. After giving 2 rescue blow, compress 30 times, and repeat this for 5 cycles [2 breaths + 30 compression]. You may stop CPR when: Ambulance arrived, casualty revived, until you tired or defibrillator arrived. You are reccomended to change people if you are tired of doing CPR, totally no problem with that. Onced the casualty revived, turn the casualty into recoveryp position.



Arguement: Without checking pulse and compression is dangerous because when there's pulse and you do compression, you will make the heart stop. Therefore, NEVER try CPR on a living person cause you WILL kill him.

Traditional Medication [1]

Have ever use traditional medication to heal yourself and start wondering why western medicines didnt work sometimes to cure oneself? Hereby, I would like to reccomend the readers use this method when there's internal heat and "wind" inside your body...How to know got "wind in your body? Indication: nausea, blueness around above your lips but below your nose [moustache part]. This methods actually works to remove wind and internal heat!!

Firstly, you will have to get a hard boil egg and 2 pure silver coins, which is rare to find these days [refering to the coins,not the eggs! =p]. It must use 2, whereby one determines the internal heat and "wind". The picture above is a coin from the year 1916. My mum actually kept them and pass down through generation.

Steps below will teach you how to use them~


First boil a boiled egg...must be hard boil, not half boiled or not cooked!! Then you remove the hard egg yolk and place the coins in between the eggs as shown at the side. Make sure it's still hot!! This is very important...While it's still hot, you can rub it on your stomach, forehead, around your eyes, your face,near your lips [under your nose above your lips] and on your back ofcourse.




After all the rubbing all the parts mentioned, you should see soemthing like the figure shown at the side. The red coloured coin indicates there's internal heat in the body. Meanwhile, The blue coin indicates there's "wind"/"gas" in your body.The patient must not be exposed to chilliness/cold. It is encourage for him/her to wear a long-sleeved shirt. You will have to wash the coin by using ashes, more preferably ashes from inscence [colok]. Other materials i'm not sure of it...There must be a chemistry behind this funny thing, but undiscovered yet.


Stay tune with Avalon in the blog for more Traditional Medication! Avalon promise you will find/study more traditional healing sickness method to share with everyone~
