This is how we miss out something called "LIFE"

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words. QUESTIONS : 1. What were the five words ?  2. What is the implication of this story? ANSWER :  The husband just said 'I am with you Darling'  The husband's totally unexpected r...

Beware of mirrors in hotels!

Beware of Mirrors in Hotels! ...Because you never know! Beware of Mirrors in Hotels! ...Because you never know! How to determine if a mirror are 2 way or not (Not a Joke!) Not to scare you, but to make you aware. A policewoman who travels all over the US and gives seminars and techniques for businesswomen passed this on. HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR : When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc. How many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror(i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them). There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at? Just conduct this simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there ...

Toilet Etiquette

Image
Toilet etiquette is all about hygiene and cleanliness. Toilets can be germ ridden places and if enough care is not taken to adopt hygienic practices we can contribute to the spread of many types of disease. We are put off by messy, smelly restrooms, toilets or urinals and public ones are the main offenders. So, if you mess it; clean it. Nobody likes to clean up someone else’s mess and so it makes sense for everyone to clean up after themselves throughout the day to maintain a high standard of hygiene and cleanliness. Some office toilets too need to have a code of practice put in place for the health and welfare of the workers because the cleaners usually clean up only once - at the end of the day. For your information, we have listed the following common sense and logical rules of restroom, urinal, or toilet etiquette to bring us back on track: Top rule therefore – clean up your own mess Unfortunately not everyone practices good hygiene, so – Next rule is, be hygienic – ALWAYS Then - r...

Food as medicine

Also-eat honey from your area (local region) daily. TO PREVENT STROKE DRINK TEA! Prevent buildup of fatty deposits on artery walls with regular doses of tea..

EAT ONIONS!!!! Eating onions helps ease constriction of bronchial tubes. (when I was young, my mother would make onion packs to place on our chest, helped the respiratory ailments and actually made us breathe better). ARTHRITIS? EAT FISH, TOO!! Salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines actually prevent arthritis. (fish has omega oils, good for our immune system) UPSET STOMACH? BANANAS - GINGER!!!!! Bananas will settle an ...

Health Alert! Careful when drinking fresh sugar cane drinks!

Please take 2 minutes to read this. This email was sent by a colleague whose father is working with the Ministry of the Environment in S'pore. A friend whose father works for the government health inspection passed on this info. Their job is to inspect all hawkers, their cooked food, their store hygiene, etc. They found sugar cane juice has the highest content of bacteria among all food. In fact, it has exceeded the set limit. Hence, these guys had to find out why. They went round all sugar cane stores and watched the way the hawkers handled their sugar cane, wash their glasses, their entire procedure. But they couldn't find the problem. One day, they stayed till closing time and ! discovered some shocking facts! Whenever, the hawkers closed their stores, they would wash the floor with detergent. As we know, the remaining sugar canes will be placed at the back of the store, vertically standing and as sugar canes are very porous, they tend to absorb whatever liquid around the...

The power of love

A long time ago in China, a girl named Li-Li got married & went to live with her husband and mother-in-law. In a very short time, Li-Li found that she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at all. Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her mother-in-law's habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly. Days passed, and weeks passed. Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting. But what made the situation even worse was that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to her mother-in-law and obey her every wish. All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing Li-Li's poor husband great distress. Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-law's bad temper and dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it! Li-Li went to see her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs. She told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that s...

1 egg + 2 mobiles = NOT A JOKE

Image
A very important message to everyone, please read it carefully. 1 Egg 65 minutes of connection between mobiles. We assembled something as per image.. Initiated the call between the two mobiles and allowed 65 minutes approximately... During the first 15 minutes nothing happened; 25 minutes later the egg started getting hot; 45 minutes later the egg is hot; 65 minutes later the egg is cooked. Conclusion: The immediate radiation of the mobiles has the potential to modify the proteins of the egg. Imagine what it can do with the proteins of your brains when you do long calls. Please try to reduce long time calls on mobile phones..

Be happy! Keep healthy!

Stroke - How to detect and save lives

有個朋友,在一次烤肉聚會當中絆倒了,摔了一跤, A friend once fell down suddenly in a BBQ party. 旁邊的朋友建議找醫護人員, People around suggested her go to the hospital, 但她很確定自己沒事, 只是穿了新鞋被磚塊絆了一下罷了。 But she reassured that nothing's wrong with herself, except having fallen down due stepping on a piece of brick in a pair of new shoes. 她還有點危危顫顫站立不穩的時候, While she was still shivering, not standing firm, 朋友們幫她清洗乾淨, 又為她盛了一盤食物, Friends helped her clean up her body, and got a plate of food for her, 她就跟著大家一起享受接下來的時光了。 So afterwards, she happily enjoyed the rest of time with the company. 她的先生後來打電話通知大家, Later on, her husband called to tell these friends, 她被送到醫院,傍晚六點,就過世了, She has been sent to the hospital at last, a nd she passed away at! 6 PM on ly, 原因是她在烤肉聚餐的時候中風。 Which cause was a stroke to her during the BBQ party. 如果他們懂得辨識中風的癥兆, If they know how to identify the symptoms of a stroke, 她現在也許還跟我們在一起。 She might still be staying with us ...... 有些人不會死, Some people do not die, 但結局處於無助無望的景況中。 However the result is in even helpless a...

Banned plastic drinking bottles

Image
Recently there are some issues on the plastic bottles. A very famous brand called Nalgene in the USA, their bottles has been called off the shelf in some big supermarkets in USA. Nalgene is also going to stop making these bottles in these material. Soon you will see Nalgene bottles going for big discounts. See this: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/04/bpa-in-water.php The problem here is the plastic they use to make the bottles: Polycarbonate. There is a type of chemical in this plastic call bisphenol A (or BPA) (tay, you may know this as our rubber's plasticizer). This chemical is found to leech out from the bottle and go into the water it contains. This is a fact, nobody is arguing about it. The argument is if this chemical is harmful to humans. Nalgene still thinks that it is ok to use. FDA still approves this. Check wikipedia on bisphenol A, be informed. But Canadian government is calling this dangerous.

Regular health mistakes

All of us make little health mistakes that cause damage to our bodies in the long run - simply because we are unaware we are doing something wrong. Here are some of the most common mistakes made by many of us. Crossing our legs Do you cross your legs at your knees when sitting? Although we may believe that this is the lady-like elegant way to sit, sitting this way cuts down circulation to your legs. If you don"t want varicose veins to mar the beauty of your legs and compromise your health, uncross your legs every time you realise you have one knee on top of the other. The best way to sit is to simply place both legs together on the floor, balancing your weight equally. If you feel like changing position, instead of crossing your legs, simply move both legs together to one side. As an alternative, you could also consider crossing your legs loosely at the ankles. This is a classically elegant way to sit, and is far better for your legs and your ...

7 DON'Ts after a meal

Image
* Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher). * Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal. * Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest. * Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked. * Don't bathe - Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach. * Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not tr...

Prohibition Law On Woman

Just sharing. On the prohibition law on woman if get arrested after 6pm to 6am unless arrested by policewoman. I was talking with a lawyer friend of mine. We were discussing the law and women`s rights. She told me about this incident in Penang (in the newspaper) - a young girl was raped by a man posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her to come to the police station when she and her male friend didn't have a driver`s license to show. He sent the boy off to get his license and asked the girl to accompany him to the police station. Took her instead to an isolated area where the horrendous crime was committed. In fact, the law clearly states that between 6 pm and 6am, a woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her. It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested between 6pm and 6am, ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer and taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. And if she is arrested by a male officer...

Beware of Imported Canned Food From China

Image
I don't know whether this rumor is true as far as I'm concerned: Please take note don't eat all these tin meat anymore which is imported from China. These 2 brands of Luncheon Meat have been banned from entering Singapore since August 2007 for containing nitrofurans (an anti biotic for pigs) My friends, please take note and be cautious when purchasing Luncheon Meat or receiving it as gifts during Chinese New Year (Lunar New Year).

Frightful Experience Driving Alone

This story happened in Malaysia Hi There, For those who drives alone everyday. A terrible incident happened to me on Monday 14th. I was driving to work around 1.30pm from home where i got stuck in a massive jam at the Seremban-Sg Besi highway due to a bad accident 1km from the Plus Toll Sg. Besi. In that 1 hr bumper to bumper jam, a black wira aeroback with 4 Indian guys drove next to my car. They kept on watching me which I thought 'perkara biasa' (normal) especially during traffic jam where people look at each other. I didn't suspect anything. 15 minutes later, they drove in front of my car. Still not suspecting anything. After I passed the accident scene, I stopped at the sg besi plus office with the intention to get my cash out of my handbag which I hid behind of my seat. Yet to grab my handbag, the black wira aeroback stopped next to my car and one of the guy came out very fast towards my car. I quickly accelerate and rushed to the toll booth to pay my toll. Arriving a...
