Hard to let go, eh? Most of us don't realise this yet.
Even me at times but slowly learning the meaning
of this. Of course there is chance that it will never
come back to you forever. Take a chance! The end
result will reap much more. Mark my word! :)

Shoppers!

Did my shopping at Tesco(Tasek Road) last Sunday. As usual,I prefer to park my car at the open air carpark. I was surprised that the few parking lots allocated for HANDICAPPED PERSON was full. These few lots are located near to the entrance for the convenience of this less fortunate people. Without thinking further on it, I proceed along to do my shopping for my basic weekly needs. Bought some instant mee, spaghetti/broccoli, organic vegetables, apples, etc. Then went over to the Cosway counter to buy a few more stuffs. While loading the things bought into my car, I noticed that those few cars parked at the HANDICAP CARPARK LOTS are not driven by handicapped person at all! What the hell ???? That's the first impression that appears in my mind! Those people are all healthy and fit as a fiddle! What's happening here? Don't they have any self conscious to the needs of others? Real selfish buggers! There are so many parking lots available out there. Of course the lots are located slightly further away from the building entrance but the distance will not pose any problem to any healthy legs to walk. What a shame! Imagine if a handicapped person were to come to Tesco, where the hell is this person going to park the car as the special carpark lots allocated were taken up by those selfish car owners? God give us each a pair of healthy legs and yet we do not want to utilise them! The management of this hypermart should monitor this. I suggest that they should make announcement via the P.A. system asking the selfish car owners to move their cars away from those special lots and towed them away after 20 minutes by tow trucks if nobody turns up! CCTVs must be installed at carparks area to do this successfully. This is to ensure that this designated lots are used by the special people and not abused by others.
The other disgusting thing that I noticed was the shopping trolleys carts that we used for our shopping. Trolley cart ports are setup at various parts of the parking lots for everyone to place back the trolleys once done. At last, there still many of the shoppers that will just leave the trolleys at the middle of the road or at his adjacent vacant parking lot. So convenient, huh? Just packed up after shopping and leave! Why can't we just push the trolleys back to the designated places? It will only take a little effort and time. We do that when we are shopping abroad. Why not here? Anyone care to explain this 2 disgusting behaviour of Malaysians shoppers??

Water or Coke?


Water or Coke?
Very interesting! I could not believe this..... Very interesting
WATER
#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world population)
#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.
#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.
#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses ofwater a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?
COKE
#1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Cokeand it will be gone in two days.
#3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China .
#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola. #5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
#7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
#8... To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
#1. the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.
#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water? or Coke?

Thoughts

Learn to let go those that do not hold you in their heart no matter how much you love them. Clinging on to them will
not benefit anyone including yourself. Always cherish them when their heart is with you, not after that. :)

Security In Malaysia!

Security has reached a level that is alarming.
People today don't help or don't want to interfere.
Need to share this story with all of you. Please read.


Be careful as this happened very close to us. Even if you need to move your car, get someone to go with you. PLEASE DO NOT GO ALONE! *********************************************************** My boss almost kena carjacked yesterday. She sent out an email to the entire department telling her story - as a caution to all single women drivers. It sounds damn scary. Can not imagine what I'll do if I was in her position. I've pasted her email here in its entirety. Girls, please be careful and be wary of your surroundings - bad things can happen DAY OR NIGHT - bad guys don't CARE anymore. Here, her email: colleagues, I was chased and attacked by a group of men in 2 cars trying to hijack my car in the afternoon yesterday. I was driving my husband's car alone on my way back from mid valley at about 4.30pm and only noticed these 2 cars as I was turning left into Jalan Beringin, Damansara Heights. They came awfully close and fast which I thought strange as it was a residential area and full of road humps. Then the first car (which was a E class Mercedes) came to my side and the passenger (had a policeman's hat but not in uniform) had a walkie talkie and was gesturing for me to stop. When I didn't, he overtook and parked in front of me and the second car (which was the new 3 series BMW) was parked right behind me. The guy came up to my window and using his walkie talkie again, was frantically asking me to wind down - it was that split second that I realized that they weren't undercover cops (yes sounds silly now when one is rational!) and I just reversed and drove off. Both cars were chasing me trying to swerve and corner me. I was stopped 3 times by them - the second time was the road downhill between SC and the Science Centre and the same guy from the Merc came out - this time with a parang. I reversed as far as I could - these people were definitely professionals and didn't want their cars damaged cos everytime I reversed, the bmw at the back also reversed. I thought I'd be safe going onto a public road so I went on the sprint highway - they continued to chase and managed to stop me again- and I was on the fast lane of sprint highway (right between the SC and Bukit Kiara) and there were plenty of traffic - and this time - they parked so close to me - one in front and one at the back and the guy with the parang came out and this time was smashing with full force at my driver's seat window. Another guy came from the black bmw and started hitting on my passenger seat window - there were plenty of cars but no one stopped or honked despite seeing these 2 men smashing my car. I just reversed not caring if my car got knocked and trying to get some space so that I can drive out and finally managed to. I lost them when I turned onto Jalan Damansara Highway. It is absolutely traumatizing as I, like many, only read about this.. but the audacity and desperation for them to be doing this in broad daylight and at such a public place is unimaginable. I am so thankful that I am ok but I have to write this because I know many of us take it for granted that it would not happen to us.. but it has happened and it will happen again. Please please be careful - one can never be vigilant enough.
You've read it all: 1. ladies - don't drive home alone at night - they will target women driving alone - day or night.
2.Don't stop when you're being chased.
3. Know that they're not the real cops when the proper police cars are not being used I was given this no. by the Inspector - 2274 4465 - it's the Bilik Gerakan in Brickfields and if you think you're being followed or chased - call this no. and they will send a mobile team who's nearest to where you are.

Guilin Mountains

CHINA


The Chinese area of Guilin, situated in the northeast of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on the west bank of the Lijiang River, has long been renowned for its unique scenery. Guilin's spectacular misty mountains and lush landscaping have been an inspiration to Chinese poets and artists throughout the centuries.Along every twist and turn of the Li River, mist-shrouded limestone mountains, in all shapes and sizes, rise out of the water to form dramatic settings.
