Meaning Thoughts

Never explain yourself to anyone.
Because the person who likes you doesn't need it, and the person who dislikes you won't believe it.

Whatever you give to life, it gives you back.
Do not hate anybody.
The hatred which comes out from you will someday comeback to you.
Love others. And love will comeback to you.

For everything you have missed, you have gained something else;
And for everything you gain, you lose something else.
It's about your outlook towards life. You can either regret or rejoice.

The most difficult phase of life is not when no one understands you;
It's when you don't understand yourself.

Arrow goes forward only after pulling in to backward.
Bullet goes forward only after pressing the trigger backward.
Every human being will get happy only after facing difficulties in their life path...
So do not afraid to face your difficulties.
They will push you forward.

Remember you are born to live.
Don't live because you are born !
Don't go the way life takes you...
Take life the way you go !

What we are today is result of our own past actions;
Whatever we wish to be in future depends on our present actions;
Decide how you have to act now.
We are responsible for what we are, whatever we wish ourselves to be.
We have the power to make ourselves.

Over the same sea, on the same winds;
A ship sails in one direction, another in opposite.
It's not the wind that decides which direction the ship goes;
Its the sails; how they are tied and how they are manuevered.
Similarly, it is not fate that decides where your life is going;
It is all about how you take life and where you take it to.

Travelers ... Beware ! New Credit Card Scam Method

This is the scenario :
You arrive at your hotel and check in at the front desk. When checking in, you give the front desk your credit card (for all the charges for your room). You get to your room and settle in.

Someone calls the front desk and asked for (example) Room 620 (which happens to be your room).

Your phone rings in your room. You answer and the person on the other end says the following, 'This is the front desk. When checking in, we came across a problem with your charge card information. Please re-read me your credit card number and verify your address.

Not thinking anything you might give this person your information, since the call seems to come from the front desk. But actually, it is a scam of someone calling from outside the hotel/front desk. They ask for a random room number. Then, ask you for credit card information and address information. Sounding so professional that you do think you are talking to the front desk.

If you ever encounter this problem on your vacation, tell the caller that you will be down at the front desk to clear up any problems.. Then, go to the front desk and ask if there was a problem. If there was none, inform the manager of the hotel that someone called to scam you of your credit card information acting like a front desk employee.

Cancerous Product

Recently I got this chained email. I don't know whether it's true or not, but I just feel I need to post it on my blog.

This is the email :

INSTANT NOODLES

Dear instant noodle lovers,

make sure you break for at least 3 days after one

session of instant

noodles before you eat your next packet! Please read

the info shared to me

by a doctor. My family stopped eating instant

noodles more than 5 years

ago after hearing about the wax coating the noodles

- the wax is not just

in the Styrofoam containers but it coats the

noodles. This is why the

instant noodles do not stick to each other when

cooking.

If one were to examine the ordinary Chinese yellow

noodles in the market,

one will notice that, in their uncooked state the

noodles are oily. This

layer of oil prevents the noodles from sticking

together.

Wanton noodles in their uncooked state have been

dusted with flour to

prevent them sticking together. When the hawker

cooks the noodles, notice

he cooks them in hot water and then rinses them in

cold water before

cooking them in hot water again. This process is

repeated several times

before the noodles are ready to be served. The

cooking and rinsing process

prevents noodles from sticking together.

The hawker then 'lowers the noodles in oil and sauce

to prevent the

noodles from sticking if they are to be served dry.

Cooking instructions

for spaghetti require oil or butter to be added in

the water when boiling

the spaghetti to prevent the pasta from sticking

together. Otherwise, one

gets a big clump of spaghetti!

There was an SBC (now TCS) actor some years ago, who

at a busy time of his

career had no time to cook, resorted to eating

instant noodles everyday.

He got cancer later on. His doctor told him about

the wax in instant

noodles. The doctor told him that our body will need

up to 2 days to clear

the wax. There was also an SIA steward who after

moving out from his

mother's house into his own house, did not cook but

ate instant noodles

almost every meal. He had cancer, and has since died

from it.

Nowadays the instant noodles are referred as '

cancer noodles '.

SATAY LOVERS (BARBECUE)

If you all eat Satay, don't ever forget to eat the

cucumber, because

eating Satay together with carbon after barbequing

can cause cancer.

But we have a cure for that... Cucumber should be

eaten after we eat the

Satay because Satay has carcinogen (a cancer causing

element) but cucumber

is anti-carcinogenic. So don't forget to eat the

cucumber the next time

you have Satay's.

PRAWNS (SUGPO) & VIT C

DO NOT eat shrimp / prawn if you have just taken

VITAMIN C pills!!

This will cause you to DIE in ARSENIC (As)

toxication within HOURS!!

PORK AWARENESS

Try this and see whether the pork you bought has

worms. There goes with

your 'Bak Kut Teh' for those who love it. Most men

love to eat this so

watch out before it's too late. If you pours Coke

(yes, the soda) on a

slab of pork, wait a little while, you will SEE

WORMS crawl out of it. A

message from the Health Corporation of Singapore

about the bad effects of

pork consumption. Pig's bodies contain MANY TOXINS,

WORM and LATENT

DISEASES.

Although some of these infestations are harboured in

other animals, modern

veterinarians say that pigs are far MORE PREDISPOSED

to these illnesses

than other animals. This could be because PIGS like

to SCAVENGE and will

eat ANY kind of food, INCLUDING dead insects, worms,

rotting carcasses,

excreta including their own, garbage, and other

pigs. INFLUENZA (flu) is

one of the MOST famous illnesses which pigs share

with humans. This

illness is harboured in the LUNGS of pigs during the

summer months and

tends to affect pigs and human in the cooler months.

Sausage contains bits of pigs' lungs, so those who

EAT pork sausage tend

to SUFFER MORE during EPIDEMICS of INFLUENZA. Pig

meat contains EXCESSIVE

quantities of HISTAMINE and IMIDAZOLE compounds,

which can lead to ITCHING

and INFLAMMATION; GROWTH HORMONE which PROMOTES

INFLAMMATION and growth;

sulphur containing mesenchymal mucus which leads to

SWELLING and deposits

of MUCUS in tendons and cartilage, resulting in

ATHRITIS, RHEUMATISM, etc.

Sulphur helps cause FIRM human tendons and ligaments

to be replaced by the

pig's soft mesenchymal tissues, and degeneration of

human cartilage.

Eating pork can also lead to GALLSTONES and OBESITY,

probably due to its

HIGH CHOLESTEROL and SATURATED FAT content. The pig

is the MAIN CARRIER of

the TAENIE SOLIUM WORM, which is found in its flesh.

These tapeworms are

found in human intestines with greater frequency in

nations where pigs are

eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through the

intestines and affect

many other organs, and is incurable once it reaches

beyond a certain

stage. One in six people in the US and Canada has

RICHINOSIS from eating

trichina worms, which are found in pork.

Many people have NO SYMPTOMS to warm them of this,

and when they do, they

resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These

worms are NOT noticed

during meat inspections.

SHAMPOO

Cancer-causing substance in shampoos. Go home and

check your shampoo.

Change before it's too late... Check the ingredients

listed on your

shampoo bottle, and see they have a substance by the

name of Sodium

Laureth Sulfate, or simply SLS. This substance is

found in most shampoos;

manufacturers use it because it produces a lot of

foam and it is cheap.

BUT the fact is, SLS is used to scrub garage floors,

and it is very

strong!!! It is also proven that it can cause cancer

in the long run, and

this is no joke. Shampoos that contains SLS: Vo5,

Palmolive, Paul

Mitchell, L'Oreal, the new Hemp Shampoo from Body

Shop etc. contain this

substance.

The first ingredient listed (which means it is the

single most prevalent

ingredient) in Clairol's Herbal Essences is Sodium

Laureth Sulfate.

Therefore, I called one company, and I told them

their product contains a

substance that will cause people to have cancer.

They said, Yeah we knew

about it but there is nothing we can do about it

because we need that

substance to produce foam. By the way Colgate

toothpaste also contains the

same substance to produce the 'bubbles'. They said

they are going to send

me some information.

Research has shown that in the 1980s, the chance of

getting cancer is 1

out of 8000 and now, in the 1990s, the chances of

getting cancer is 1 out

of 3, which is very serious. Therefore, I hope that

you will take this

seriously and pass this on to all the people you

know, and hopefully, we

can stop 'giving' ourselves cancer-causing agents.

Hacking The Body : Fight fire without water!

Worried those wings will repeat on you tonight? "Sleep on your left side," says Anthony A. Starpoli, M.D., a New York City gastroenterologist and assistant professor of medicine at New York Medical College. Studies have shown that patients who sleep on their left sides are less likely to suffer from acid reflux. The esophagus and stomach connect at an angle. When you sleep on your right, the stomach is higher than the esophagus, allowing food and stomach acid to slide up your throat. When you're on your left, the stomach is lower than the esophagus, so gravity's in your favor.

Hacking The Body : Sinus Pressure Problem

A practical way to relieve sinus pressure problem is by thrusting your tongue against the roof of your mouth, and then pressing between your eyebrows with one finger. An assistant professor at Michigan State University College, Lisa DeStefano D.O. said that this will causes the vomer bone which run through the nasal passages to the mouth, to rock back and forth. The motion loosens congestion, after seconds, you'll feel your sinuses start to drain.

Hacking The Body : Lessen Your Pain

Are you always afraid of needle ? Don't worry, German researchers have discovered that coughing during an injection can lessen the pain of the needle stick. According to Taras Usichenko, author of a study on the phenomenon, the trick causes a sudden, temporary rise in pressure in the chest and spinal canal, inhibiting the pain-conducting structures of the spinal cord.

Hacking The Body : ?? Err..

Hard to say this. But did you ever need to pee but founding no place ?
If you did, then one tips can be useful. Fantasize about sex can help you preoccupies your brain, so you won't feel as much discomfort.
This is the opinion by Larry Lipshultz, M.D., chief of male reproductive medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine.

Is that true ?? Can someone prove it and make some testimonial here in this blog ?
:-)

Hacking The Body : Ear

Another tips for body is ear. If you are stuck in an crowd conversation with friends or others, lean it with your right ear. It's better than your left, because right ear is better than left at following rapid rhythms of speech. On opposite, if you're trying to identify a sound which is very soft, you can use your left ear. Because left ear is better at picking up music tones.
This opinion is according to the researchers at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine.

Hacking The Body : Throat

I do read some interesting article about our body. It said that if our throat tickles, then we can scratch our ear, because : "when the nerves in the ear are stimulated, it creates a reflex in the throat that can cause a muscle spasm". That's what Scott Schaffer, M.D., president of an ear, nose, and throat specialty center in Gibbsboro, New Jersey said.

Anyone interested to prove it ?
