She's Getting Married!

2010-06-03T18:34:00.003+08:00

Yesterday afternoon, Pixie messaged me;

Pixie: Babe, can you lend me a pair of ears tonite?

Me: Just a pair of ears? Can I send over?

Pixie: Niasing!!!!

Later I called her;

Me: Can we go to MCDs instead of KimGary?

Pixie: Can can..

Me: What's the news? Getting married ah?

Pixie: No LAR! Tell you later.

Me: Whoa, so secretive. Ok see you later.

I called her again at 9.30pm which was the agreed meeting time, as usual she was just coming out from her house. Hence she told me to leave the house 10 minutes later.

When I arrived at MCDs, there were no Pixie to be found. I thought I went to the wrong outlet. Turned out, she and JC were in the kids area.

JC: MMC! So long never see. The last time I saw you was at Bil's birthday.

Me: Wat so long, two weeks ago only whut.

JC: But it feels like forever.

Me: So what does this Pixie want to announce? Are you pregnant? Getting married?

Pixie: No lar... *smiles* Let's wait for Yvonne.

Then SW walked in.

JC: Hi, LSW. You always look glowing these days. So in love hor?

SW all in smiles....

Me: JC, you're also glowing whut. All those in love are glowing.

SW: So whats the news?

Pixie: Wait for Yvonne.

Me: Omgosh..what is it...tell...

Pixie: Errrr......I saw something I shouldn't see.

SW: Saw what?

Pixie: Saw something in text messages. When we were in Bali, someone texted him few times "I miss you" and "What are you doing?". And he deleted all sent messages and there was no name saved in his mobile.

The story became more alive and more input came in with the help of JC.

I believed every word in her story, not once I doubted her.

But she seemed really calm.

We asked, so you didn't ask him about it until now?

Pixie: Why is it that when all of you girls are dating, I will be the odd one out.

JC: Please lar, when you girls were in love, I am also single.

SW: Men, really aih.

Me: Do you think he is a good man? If you think he is then you must talk to him. Maybe it's not to the extent to what you think.

Then I started to think about my past.

I really believed her, and I empathized with her.

Then I saw JC and SW talking about other things, JC seemed very relaxed and not bothered at all.

I looked at Pixie and seemed like she is trying not to show her emotions.

I believed her.

Yvonne arrived and asked whats the big news?

Then JC started to tell the story. I thought to myself, howcome JC is telling the sad news?

Suddenly, Pixie showed her something on one of her fingers. I saw something sparkle.

It was a ring....

A ring so special, it had a knot and a big diamond is in the middle of the knot.

This is the wedding ring that Ryan held in his hands, knelt down and proposed to her last week in Bali.

It is supposed to be a beautiful happy good news!

I don't understand why they made up such a bad story over a real proposal story.

And I believed everything she said.

I was so shocked and feelings were so mixed up I didn't know how to react.

Anyway I am so very happy for you.

This is the Lil Pixie that we all know

Always jumping around

Dancing

Buy her some sweets

And she will be giggling like a lil girl

This lil girl is no longer a lil girl

She's getting married!

Finally....

After whispering to Ryan over 21 x ("Are you going to marry me?")

Ryan said how not to marry her :)

Another best friend getting married!

TRIUMPH

2010-05-31T13:57:00.000+08:00

Today is the last day for the special promotion, last few hours for me to get something from the special scheme. What should I do make the most of it?

I think the best is to stay calm and positive, everything will smooth itself out.

In our industry, they always say "If its yours, its yours, no point forcing."

I lost over 9.5M sales of 6 units to my competitors since 2009. Recently, I handed the whole done sale to my colleague because we were servicing the same customer.
Fortunately, good karma actually happens to good people. From April to May, I've single-handedly closed 11.4M sales of only 4 units! Last Friday and Saturday, I broke my own records.

TRIUMPH!!!!!!!!!!

Never felt so good. I really can do it!

*secretly and humbly to say, i am the top sale in the team since joining, so much for a beginner's luck :)

I know Victoria C will be the PROUD"est" person in this whole wide world :)
Thank you Yee Jea, for everything, for teaching me everything you know, for setting the high benchmark, for being a perfect role-model, for listening to my constant ramblings about each customer each deal every minute details of what happened in my daily working life, being patient with me all these years at work and at home.
And most importantly, for being my best friend and my sister. I Love You!

Next month, you will be moving to your new house with your beautiful family all the way in Cheras.
Will we have anymore time to chat and drink in the kitchen?
Life is changing, and we are all moving ahead, I am sad to say that I am very reluctant to let you go.
Now I understand what you meant about me going back to fly. You are happy that I have a different future to look forward to, but at the same time you are also reluctant to let me go, far away from you.

But all in all, I believe that our life is evolving to a better and more promosing future. Who would even imagine Victoria C with two geniuses twins and a husband who is ever loyal ever loving?
You used to say that you will never get married and will not depend on anyone.
Look how happy are you now :)

I need to get back to work, perhaps collect another cheque?

May 31, 2010 - You'll increase enriching conversations by putting preconceived ideas and misunderstandings aside. In order to be sure always to charm and never to displease, just be yourself, don't overdo things. Disagreements may appear in your conjugal life; try to find a compromise. Don't let yourself be influenced unduly. A slight decrease in vitality; you won't feel too much inclined activity and will need a lot of sleep; be careful not to take refuge in a dreamworld.

You'll feel more sure of yourself, which will enable you to undertake such tasks as are more delicate than usual. You'll have the chance to make an important encounter which might prove lasting. You'll be well placed to succeed in business or commerce, on condition to avoid overwork generating health problems. If you expect too much from others, you may have deceptions and disappointments.

This week - All that constituted a frustration, a limitation, or an obstacle to your legitimate desires for achievement and expansion will tend to disappear. Love, money, health, work: on all these planes the stars will be favorable to you. Don't let yourself be swamped by the flood of ideas which will tend to become gloomy. You'll be in a position to get great professional satisfactions, most often in relation with travels and foreign countries. One of your friends has tried and will still try to abuse your kindness; you must immediately stop him doing it.

Bladder Problem & Gluten Intolerance?

Bladder Symptoms and Gluten Sensitivity -
Important Articles You Need to Read

ARE BLADDER PROBLEMS KEEPING YOU AWAY FROM THE ACTION?
THE SOLUTION MAY BE DIETARY CHANGES THAT ELIMINATE FOOD SENSITIVITIES.

By Wendy L. Cohan, R.N.
Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance Educator/Urological Wellness Consultant

It’s the problem no one wants to talk about, but we all know exists: that all-too-familiar feeling of urgency and pressure that means you had better get to a bathroom fast. It’s a BLADDER PROBLEM. The sales of big kid underwear, stress-incontinence pads, adult disposable briefs, and over-the-counter medications like Detro and Uristat make it apparent that bladder problems are unfortunately a common occurrence in many women and men throughout every stage of life.

Bladder issues run the gamut – extended bedwetting in children, frequency and urgency in young adulthood, stress incontinence after childbirth and continuing into the senior years, frequency/urgency syndromes in all ages, and bladder spasms or problems “going” in older men. Although these are fairly routine bladder issues, a surprisingly large number of people have more serious problems, including recurrent bladder infections, prostatitis (an inflammation of the prostate), or interstitial cystitis (IC - a chronic pain and urgency syndrome also known as painful bladder syndrome - PBS).

In many patients, urologists and primary care doctors may run tests without finding a discernable cause. Patients with continued symptoms are usually left with the option of taking medications such as Detrol, Ditropan, or Flomax, which sometimes create problems of their own, including side-effects such as urinary hesitancy. These medications also do nothing for the accompanying pain and burning that occur in diseases like IC, so patients with more severe symptoms often need to take narcotics and anti-anxiety medications. Medications like Pyridium (the active ingredient in Azo and Uristat) can help with discomfort temporarily, but are not meant to be taken long-term.

Could there be a common cause underlying many of these bladder problems? One strong possibility is unknown food sensitivities that trigger either an allergic response, an autoimmune response, or both. Clinical studies have shown that patients with chronic bladder discomfort often have elevated levels of histamine in their urine, as compared to those in control groups. Patients with chronic bladder discomfort also often show elevated SED rates, a measure of inflammation. Both of these findings indicate that environmental or food sensitivity, allergy, or other heightened immune response may be responsible for the symptoms they are experiencing. Another clue is that some patients experience total relief of symptoms when on I.V. fluids in the hospital, when too ill to eat solid food, or when following an allergen-elimination diet. Food sensitivities have also been implicated in bed-wetting in children, due to irritation of the urinary tract. Studies have shown that once food allergens are eliminated, the bed-wetting problem often ceases to be an issue.

In some people chronic inflammation and accompanying irritation may also indicate the existence of an autoimmune condition like Celiac Disease (CD), (also called Gluten Sensitive Enteropathy (GSE) or Celiac Sprue). People with CD experience toxicity when they ingest the proteins in wheat, barley, and rye, commonly known as gluten. CD and the chronic bladder disease IC often occur together, as reported by participants in support groups for both diseases. Among IC patients, many suffer gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, bloating, discomfort, and diarrhea. Although such symptoms are often diagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), it is possible that at least some portion of people with a diagnosis of IBS are actually experiencing a reaction to eating wheat and other gluten-containing grains. According to published studies, IC is present in 40-60% of patients diagnosed with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), and 38% of patients with IC have also been diagnosed with IBS. It seems reasonable that patients with IBS symptoms should be screened for celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. One reason that this may not have been the case is that in the past celiac disease was considered to be rare, mostly affecting young children, and was thought to have a narrow range of symptoms and diagnostic criteria. This is simply no longer the case. The incidence of gluten-intolerance is growing, and symptoms in both celiac disease and non-celiac gluten-sensitivity vary widely and are known to affect all age groups.

The gluten sensitivity/bladder sensitivity connection is not well known. Until I discovered it mysel by years of trial and error, I would not have beliveved it to be possible. Since my diagnosis with gluten intolerance, and my subsequent recovery from interstitial cystitis on a glutenfree diet, I have learned that I am far from alone in making this connectin Recently I wrote about my experiences in healing from interstitial cystitis and other health problems on a gluten-free diet, and published the article on a popular celiac suppor website. The response I recevied was overwhelming. People wrote to me from all over the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. Moms wrote about their children, young women wrote about recovering from bladder discomfort, and many older women wrote to say that they no longer suffer from stress incontinence. All of the people responding to my article discovered the same phenomenon that I had: excluding wheat and other gluten-containing grains reduced or eliminated their bladder symptoms, which ranged form childhood beswetting to incontinence in seniors Could avoiding gluten really be the answer for thousands of peope who suffer daily from bladder pain, urgency, frequency and incontinence?

These are some of the many comments I received:

"I did not have bladder irritation or infection, but I did have stress incontnence. I was told that was "normal" for a 60 year old woman. When I went gluten-free 5 years ago, my incontinence disappeared."

"I can actually plan to leave the house now, where I couldn't before without a serious map to all the bathrooms in all the stores on the route".

"I suspected a connection. Celiac is in my family - I asked for testing - they said I wasn't thin enough. FInally I went gluten-free on my own. This clearead up my constant UTI's, hives on my legs and lower abdomen, bleeding gums, and all the intestinal distress! It's been 15 months now and I'm feeling better each day. Many of us with bladder and gastro-intestinal problems can relate to these experiences.

A significant number of people who suffered from IC, a very painful, progressive bladder disease for which there is no cure nor a highly effective treatment, have experienced healing on a gluten-free diet. Because this disease has impacted me personally, I have been collecting such stories for several years, and included them in the article I wrote. These are a few of many anecdotes I have collected over the past few years:

“I have had IC for over a decade. I have been on a gluten free diet for over six years and that has been the only thing that has given me any relief from IC. I no longer take any meds at all – I haven’t even been to a doctor for IC in several years. I would definitely suggest anyone with IC give it a try. It definitely gave me my life back.”

“My IC came first in 1995 and the long road to being diagnosed with Celiac lasted 9 more years. Finally, I'm beginning to heal.”

“I have both IC and a wheat allergy, which I ignored and was paying the price with the severe pain with IC. Absolutely nothing was working and no doctor would hear of it being related. Several have told me that diet would not solve anything...That was until my experience with dermatitis (Dermatitis Herpetiformis, a variant of Celiac Disease) forced me to be gluten-free and it has completely stopped the IC pain. It's nothing short of a miracle to have my life back.”

My own research has shown that the body's response to gluten can cause mouth, lip, and tongue ulcers, esophagitis, deterioration of teh intestinal villi (which leads to malabsorption of nutrients), and pain and inflammation in the illio-cecal junction (the area where the small and large intestine join and in the pelvic and abdominal regions of the body. Is it any wonder that this destructive process also affects the mucosa lining the bladder? Doesn't it make sense that pelvic and lower abdominal inflammation surrounding the bladder can produce both urgency and frequency? A physician wrote to me recently, stating,

"My wife suffered for years with severe, incapacitating interstitial cystitis. In 2003 she was diagnosed with celiac disease. Since beginning a gluten-free diet, her interstitial cystitis has pretty much disappeared. I looked through the literature and found little over the years, but as a clinician, the anecdotal evidance has been impressive. Why not the bladder mucosa? Celiac disease seems to stimulate autoimmune reactions just about everywhere else!"

Is there a downside to excluding gluten from our diets? Following a gluten-free diet can be more expensive, especially if relying on ready-made gluten-free products. However, eating gluten-containing grains is not necessary from a nutritional perspective – cultures around the world have thrived for thousands of years without them, and alternative grains contain many of the same nutrients, including protein, fiber, B-vitamins, and minerals iron, magnesium, and zinc. A gluten-free diet is based on the same principles as any healthy diet: a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, alternative whole grains, protein sources, and healthy fats. Brown rice, wild rice, corn, buckwheat and quinoa are easy substitutes for wheat, barley, and rye. Less-familiar non-gluten grains include sorghum, teff, and amaranth, which are staples in Africa and Latin America. Your local natural foods grocery store is a great source of these items, sold as whole grains or flours. Many of Bob’s Red Mill grains and flours are tested for gluten content and labeled gluten-free.

My own health has improved so much on a gluten-free diet that I was inspired to make a career change from hospital nurse to celiac disease and gluten intolerance educator. I write and publish a resource guide, offer individual counseling to clients new to a gluten-free diet, teach cooking classes, and write numerous articles for websites and local health magazines (see www.glutenfreechoice.com). One of the questions I see often is, “How long does it take for bladder symptoms that are related to gluten sensitivity to resolve on a gluten-free diet?” This depends on how severe the problem is, and how long it has persisted. Some people actually begin to feel better in a matter of a few days, others take a month or more. Complete healing may even take several years in adults, less time in children. The good news is that trying out a gluten-free diet is relatively easy, and there is a wealth of resources available to the consumer on this topic. If you feel better on a three-week trial of a gluten-free diet, then maybe it’s the answer you’ve been looking for. Be sure to let your doctor know if you are sensitive to gluten. Gluten-sensitivity has implications for autoimmune diseases, intestinal health, and even neurological and mental-health issues. Celiac disease increases the risk of developing diabetes and colo-rectal cancer. Men with urological issues or chronic pelvic pain should always be screened by their doctor for enlargement of the prostate and for prostate cancer.

Wheat is one of the most common items in our food supply, both in products we can clearly identify, such as bread, pasta, and snack foods, and in products where wheat is a “hidden” ingredient, such as in baked beans, mustard, and soups. Gluten (wheat and all wheat relatives, barley, rye, and anything made from them) is one of the first food triggers to suspect when ruling out sensitivities that precipitate bladder symptoms. Other food allergies and sensitivities tend to occur along with gluten sensitivity, since the gut is often quite damaged. This allows proteins to leak through into the bloodstream before they are fully broken down into amino acids, which triggers antibody production to many common allergens. Eggs, soy, dairy, and cane sugar are common offenders in people with gluten-induced bladder sensitivity.

It is important to know that spelt, faro, triticale, and kamut are all wheat relatives that contain gluten. Oats do not contain gluten, but are often cross-contaminated when grown on the same fields where stray wheat kernels have also germinated and grown, or when milled in the same facilities. Some people also react to the oat protein avenin similarly to gluten.

The Eight of Swords card suggests that my power today lies indenial or blocking. 'Don't even go there.' I will not let myself be limited, paralyzed, held hostage or alienated by fear or fantasy that relies on exploitive emotional rescue, sacrifice of truth, or victimization. I will not be a prisoner to my own perceptions or expectations. Why did Cinderella stay? Do I want to be right or alone? Why have I placed a mental gag order on my own suffering or thinking? I am empowered to question or endure by virtue of my own self-worth because there is no honor in sacrificing my self to victimhood.

ESSIAC

2010-03-04T13:43:00.001+08:00

Essiac Tea is one of the most popular alternative treatments for cancer. It has a strong word-of-mouth reputation with many testimonials claiming its ability to cure cancer. Essiac Tea was developed by a Canadian public health nurse named Rene Caisse (Essiac is Caisse spelled backwards). The original formula was based on an herbal tea developed by an Ojibwa Indian medicine man. Caisse reportedly treated her aunt's cancer with the tea. In 1924, she opened a clinic and began treating cancer patients with the herbal mixture.

The four main herbs that make up Essiac are Burdock Root, Slippery Elm Inner Bark, Sheep Sorrel and Indian Rhubarb Root. Other versions of the tea include Native Legend Tea, FlorEssence, Vitalitea, Tea of Life, and Herbal Essence, which contain additional herbs including watercress, blessed thistle, red clover, and kelp.

Essiac, given its name by Rene Caisse ("caisse" spelt backwards), consists of four main herbs that grow in the wilderness of Ontario, Canada. The original formula is believed to have its roots from the native Canadian Ojibway Indians.

Caisse Immume System Theory

Many believe Rene Caisse (pronounced "reen case") is one of the greater heroines of the past century. This modest Canadian nurse discovered a natural herbal formula she took no money for it and died in relative obscurity.

Rene didn't feel herself a writer so she never wrote an autobiography. She did, however, write a series of articles entitled "I Was Canada's Cancer Nurse" which was published in the seventies with Bracebridge Examiner. Additionally, a collection of her writing and interviews was published posthumously in the Bracebridge Examiner.

She wrote a brief biography of her family and their settlement in Bracebridge. Read here

"There are the kind of people that I belonged to, my home was a happy and a Christian home, where the love and respect of our fellow man meant more to us than riches. That is why I did not make a charge for "Essiac Treatments", and consequently was not in a position to fight in the courts for my rights. So, when the College of Physicians & Surgeons sent their Police to threaten my many times, with arrest and jail, I gave up the unequal batter, and stopped treating Cancer patients."

Great Discovery
In the 1920s Rene encountered a prospector's wife who survived breast cancer. She tells the story below.

Head Nurse, Rene Caisse

In the mid-twenties [1920's] I was head nurse at the Sisters of Providence Hospital in a northern Ontario town. One day one of my nurses was bathing an elderly lady patient. I noticed that one breast was a mass of scar tissue, and asked about it.

"I came out from England nearly 30 years ago." she told me. "I joined my husband who was prospecting in the wilds of Northern Ontario. My right breast became sore and swollen, and very painful. My husband brought me to Toronto, and the doctors told me I had advanced cancer and my breast must be removed at once. Before we left camp a very old Indian medicine man had told me I had cancer, but he could cure it. I decided I'd just as soon try his remedy as to have my breast removed. One of my friends had died from breast surgery. Besides, we had no money."

An Ojibway Native probably like the Indian who visited the Englishwoman

She and her husband returned to the mining camp, and the old Indian showed her certain herbs growing in the area, told her to make a tea from these herbs and to drink it every day. She was nearly 80 years old when I saw her and there had been no recurrence of cancer. I was much interested and wrote down the names of the herbs she had used. I knew that doctors threw up their hands when cancer was discovered in a patient; it was the same as a death sentence, just about. I decided that if I should ever develop cancer, I would use this herb tea.

About a year later I was visiting an aged retired doctor whom I knew well. We were walking slowly about his garden when he took his cane and lifted a weed. "Nurse Caisse," he told me, "if people would use this weed there would be very little cancer in the world." He told me the name of the plant. It was one of the herbs my patient named as an ingredient of the Indian medicine man's tea!

A few months later I received word that my mother's only sister had been operated on in Brockville, Ontario. The doctors had found she had cancer of the stomach with a liver involvement, and gave her at the most six months to live. I hastened to her and talked to her doctor. He was Dr. R.O. Fisher of Toronto, whom I knew well because I had nursed patients for him many times. I told him about the herb tea and asked his permission to try it under his observation, since there was apparently nothing more medical science could do for my aunt. He consented quickly. I obtained the necessary herbs, with some difficulty, and made the tea.

My aunt lived for 21 years after being given up by the medical profession. There was no recurrence of cancer. Dr. Fisher was so impressed he asked me to use the treatment on some of his other hopeless cancer cases. Other doctors heard about me from Dr. Fisher and asked me to treat patients for them after everything medical science had to offer had failed. They too were impressed with the results. Several of these doctors asked me if I would be willing to use the treatment on an old man whose face was eaten away, and who was bleeding so badly the doctors said he could not live more than 10 days.

"We will not expect a miracle," they told me. "But if your treatment can help this man in this stage of cancer, we will know that you have discovered something the whole world needs desperately — a successful remedy for cancer." My treatment stopped the bleeding in 24 hours. He lived for six months with very little discomfort.

2010-03-04T13:43:00.000+08:00

Today we can also enjoy the benefits of ESSIAC from Native Legends Tea marketed by Unicity Marketing.

Many of us do not have the slightest idea of how to maintain good health. When illness strikes, we rely on our doctors to cure us. What we fail to realize is that The cure comes from within. Nature has provided us with a wondrous immune system and we have to take proper care of this inner healing force.

Our modern lifestyle has taken us off the right track with fast food, junk food, processed food, drug dependencies, smoking and alcohol abuse, a polluted environment and high tech stress-load the body with impurities and overburden its eliminatory processes and gradually weaken our immune system. Our body becomes susceptible to all kind of modern ailments.

NATIVE LEGEND TEA is one of the best cleanser or blood purifier and a nourisher that benefit the immune system. It is wholesome and aids in strengthening the body. It can reduce swelling around joints and helps rid calcification deposits. It improves kidney functions to help clear the blood of harmful acids.

It also aids the pituitary gland in releasing an ample supply of protein to help adjust hormone balance in the body. A poorly nourished pituitary gland is sometimes responsible for over weight.

NATIVE LEGEND TEA has the ability to neutralize stomach acidity and to absorb foul gases. It acts as a buffer against irritation and inflammation of the Mucus Membranes and assists the activity of adrenal glands, which helps to send a stream of blood building substances through the system.

This native herbal recipe consists of four natural herbs, burdock root, slippery elm bark, sheep sorrel leaf and turkey rhubarb root that are totally non-toxic. They are all either organically grown or wild-crafted. Each of these herbs is renown for their healing properties. However, it appears to be the synergistic effect of the blended herbs that produces the amazing curative power.

Native Legend tea contains 10 types of herbs Burdock, Holly Thistle, Kelp, Red Clover, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm, Turkish, Rhubarb, Water Cress. As the name indicates, Native Legend Tea has its roots in a Native American herbal recipe. The Indians of long ago literally picked their own medicines, and their apothecaries were the fields around them. This particular combination of herbs was used for its remarkable wholesome benefits. Burdock is the main ingredient in Native Legend Tea.

Burdock, Herb - Has been shown to be one of the best blood purifiers. It may help reduce swelling around joints and helps rid calcification deposits, as it promotes kidney function to help clear the blood of harmful acids.
Holly Thistle, Herb - Has been shown to stimulate the production of gastric juices.
Kelp, Herb - Kelp is a rich source of vitamins, especially B vitamins. It is reported to be beneficial to brain tissue, the membranes surrounding the brain, sensory nerves, and the spinal cord, as well as nails and blood vessels. It has been useful in treatment for thyroid problems due to its iodine content, as well as hair loss, obesity and ulcers. It contains 30 minerals considered vital to glandular health and functional as enzyme co-factors. It has traditionally been used in the treatment of a thyroid disorder caused by an iodine deficiency and is beneficial in regulating the metabolism of digestion.
Red Clover, Herb - Used in Europe as a diuretic to treat gout. Antibiotic tests confirm red clover's action against several bacteria, including the pathogen that causes tuberculosis. It is used by many naturopathic physicians in regular cleansing programs.
Sheep Sorrel, Herb - Has been shown to be helpful for fevers, inflamation, scurvy, tumors and cancer.
Slippery Elm, Herb - Has the ability to neutralize stomach acidity and to absorb foul gases. It aids in the digestion of milk. Acts as a buffer against irritations and inflammations of the mucus membranes. Draws out impurities and heals all parts of the body.

BRAless?

2010-03-04T12:42:00.001+08:00

Do you wear bra for the whole day and even at home? I think we should go bra-free after reading this article. It's a message for your health. Please pass this to all female friends you know. I think it's important to be aware of the following facts...

For years, a lot of articles with regards to the causes of breast cancer point to an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise as the major links to this disease which happens to be the biggest killer among women during these last two decades.

These studies would have been most credible if it were not for the fact that several women including Linda McCartney who have been religious vegetarians and exercise- freaks have also been unfortunate in suffering breast cancer.

Perhaps the most convincing article I have ever read with regards to this matter is one which links breast cancer to the wearing of bras. In the 'Bra and Breast Cancer Study' in the United States , It was discovered that women with breast cancer had a history of sporting tighter and longer bra-wearing than did the women who had not (yet) developed the disease.

In fact, virtually the entire cancer group wore bras over 12 hours. When a woman wears a tight bra, she subjects her breasts to pressure, closing off the lymphatic pathway from the breast to the nodes. This causes fluid built-up swelling, tenderness and cyst formation. Toxins must be flushed out via the lymphatic. However, a bra-constricted breast cannot adequately perform this cleansing process, resulting in toxin accumulation in the breast.

Truthfully, bras are creating droopy, weak breasts....the breast relies on the bras for artificial support; the body loses its ability to support the breast by itself. This is why many women feel uncomfortable without the bra.
What is the solution to breast cancer then? DON'T WEAR A TIGHT BRA! And maybe sleep without them..

There is a remarkable success rate for recovery from fibrocystic breast disease within 10 days to two weeks of going bra-free.. Many women have tried going bra-less and recorded
a miraculous improvement in their health! Bra burning is no longer a feminist issue....It is now a battle between life and death. We should make others more aware of the hazards of wearing them......

To create awareness Malaysian Women welfare organization declare Sundays as Bra free day in Malaysia .
*woot, men would be happiest on Sundays.

On lymp nodes, how do we clear toxins from the lymphatic? Luckily there is a few ways we can do this without taking out your bra. One way is to visit a chinese doctor who will give you herbs to drink.
The other way is taking Native Legend Tea. You may purchase this tea from Unicity (previously known as Enrich) On my next post you may read more about the benefits and the story behind this marvelous tea.

Awesomely Great Start O' 01

A lady called, she sounded like a local and asked to see Hampshire.

I went to meet her straight.

Dina is a Croatian.

It is my first time meeting people from The Republic of Croatia.

She has flawless complexion and such prominent features.
I was mesmerized.

Croatian people are indeed very very beautiful people.

We only spent 10-minutes in the apartment.

She loved the unit and quickly made a decision.

She is my highlight of a great beginning of 2010.

Now the road ahead is brighter and clearer..........

I can do whatever I want

I don't have to please everybody else

Because the only person I have to live up to is YOU "

This is how i start my day by reading a funny email

This poem was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2006
Written by an African Kid

When I born, I black

When I grow up, I black

When I go in Sun, I black

When I scared, I black

When I sick, I black

And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow

When you born, you pink

When you grow up, you white

When you go in sun, you red

When you cold, you blue

When you scared, you yellow

When you sick, you green

And when you die, you gray

And you calling me coloured?

Hello, this is Ne-Yo

2010-01-07T11:48:00.001+08:00

This morning, I was running late for work and as I was running to my car,

I received a call bearing Private Number

thinking that it must be an overseas call, a response from the classified ads that I advertised on The Star,

it turned out to be the producer of the Hitz FM morning crew.

I am one of the LUCKY winners again

This time I did not expect it

I was too nervous

I was unprepared

and I chickened-OUT!

BOOO-HOOOO

hitz: hello, is this mi-mi chai.

me : errrr......

hitz: you are one of the lucky winners to interview Ne-Yo. i'm gonna transfer this call to Ne-Yo now.

hitz: BUT DON'T YOU WANT TO TALK TO NE-YO?

me: errr.....but i really have to go now. im sorry.

hitz: ok nevermind. bye

Seconds later, I realised that it was really Ne-Yo on the line. And I blew it......

Noriko

2009-12-30T11:34:00.000+08:00

Noriko was my childhood best friend when I was 7 years old.
I finally found her in facebook.

Shoji looked exactly like Noriko when she was young

Although our friendship was short, we spent every single day together when we were neighbours living in Jalan Foo Kan Yik, Ipoh.

We used to climb up to our tree house in her garden, pretend to live on the branches and even take naps on the branches. Other times, we would be snooping and crawling around her house pretending to be spies. Most of the time we are cycling around the neighbourhood. Cycling is our favourite past time. Sometimes, we would climb over Aunt Foo's house for a swim. Those times were my best childhood memories.

I am really glad to have found you, Noriko.

About your Personal Reading
This reading was composed for you personally, and is based on your
full name at birth, your date of birth, and the name you now use to introduce
yourself. Please check your birth data on the title page to make sure the names
and date of birth used are correct.
If you have two or more middle names or last names, you may find the names
strung together. This is necessary to make Transit and Essence cycles function
correctly. For example, the name John Patrick Henry Hancock would appear on
the title page as John PatrickHenry Hancock.
Your Personal Numerology Reading describes all aspects of your
chart as they are understood in numerology, accurately and in-depth.
Each chapter starts with a short introduction telling you where this particular
number is found and how it affects you. This is followed by the number itself.
Often, you will find a double digit number followed by a single digit.
The meaning of your number is then explained in easy to read language.
You don't need to know anything about numerology to be able to enjoy
and benefit from this reading.
I hope you will enjoy your reading.

LIFE PATH
If ever there was a moment of total transformation, it was the moment of your
birth. In that instant, you stepped through a door in time into a new reality -- the
reality of human life. The most important number in your numerology chart is
based on the date of your birth, the moment when the curtain goes up in your life.
Even at that moment, you were a person with your own unique character, as
unique as your DNA. Everything that is you existed in potential, much like a play
that is about to begin. Your entire life exists as a potential that has been prepared
for. Anndee, you have ultimate freedom to do with your life as you like: To fulfill its
potential completely, or to make some smaller version of yourself. It all depends
upon your effort and commitment. You make the decisions to fulfill, to whatever
extent, the potential life that exists within you. That is your choice. In this sense,
the possible you is implicit during the moment of your birth.
The Life Path number gives us a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges,
and lessons we will encounter in this lifetime. Your Life path is the road you are
traveling. It reveals the opportunities and challenges you will face in life. Your Life
Path number is the single most important information available in your Personality

EXPRESSION
Your Expression number reveals your physical and mental constitution, the
orientation or goal of your life. Some numerologists refer to this number as the
Destiny, because it represents a lifelong target at which you are aiming. You
work at fulfilling this potential every day of your life. Thus, the Expression number
reveals your inner goal, the person you aim to be.
The Expression number reveals the talents, abilities, and shortcomings that
were with you when you entered your human body. Your name, and the numbers
derived from it, reveals your development, as well as the talents and issues you
will be working with during this life.
For those for whom reincarnation is an accepted philosophy, the vibration of
your full name can be seen as the totality of your personal evolution, the
experiences, talents, and wisdom accumulated over many life times. Every
experience, no matter how great or small, along this evolutionary path has
influenced your development, and brought you to your current state of being.
The Expression is your being; the Life Path is the major lesson you are
attempting to learn this time around. Time allows the gradual emergence of your
personality. By reading the Expression number below, you will come to
understand your basic nature and the abilities and issues inherent in your being.

HEART'S DESIRE
Your Heart's Desire is the inner you. It shows your underlying urge, your true
motivation. It reveals the general intention behind many of your actions.
Consequently, it dramatically influences the choices you make in life. The Heart's
desire is seen as part of the larger picture, called the core numbers, which
includes the Life Path, Expression, Day you were born, and Personality. But
each points to a different aspect of you.
The Expression number reveals your talents and abilities, and your general
direction in life. The Life Path is the central lesson you came into the world to
learn. The Day you were born is very closely connected to your Life Path. It
reveals specific talents you possess, which will be helpful to you in dealing with
your Life Path. The Personality reveals how people tend to see you. It also
demonstrates what characteristics you are projecting to the world. The Heart's
Desire demonstrates the identity of the soul that joined the earth -- you, the
spiritual being.

FIND LOST OBJECTS

You an even recover lost objects. I lost a very expensive bra and I've seached high and low for it, still to no avail.

According to Decoz, the moment we lost the object, it is stored in our subconscious.

The way to tap into that source is by exercising our subconscious.

Concentrate on the lost object, then enter a nine-digit number in the box below.

This nine-digit number must not:

Contain more than 3 zeros

Contain all the same digits (777777777)

My 9 Digit Number is: 888000888

As number 8 and 0 resembles a bra.

My results:

ANALYZE ADDRESSES

House Addresses:

Your House Address

The first step is to add the individual digits of your House Address together until you have a single digit. The letters in the street name also have a value that is combined with the street number.

My Results:

Your Total is 8

8 Address.

This address inspires stability, ambition, financial growth, authority and uncompromising drive. This is the ideal location for a single adult or a family with material comfort as a high priority. Status quo and conventional lifestyles. The 8 also inspires strength of character and tends to improve the health of those who live there (strengthens the body). The best possible address for career or business oriented people. Also good for large families.

Strengthen the positive influence of this address with: Strong colors, especially greens and browns. Big furniture; big couches, chairs, side tables, etc. Large windows, open spaces, fire place.

* 8 is a very good number according to chinese beliefs. I guess my house address is prosperous :)

6 Telephone number

Your telephone number adds to 6. This is the best possible number for families. Warm, caring, and protective. Strengthens family bonds and friendships. But also inspires gossip. Good for business. Not so good for singles who would rather not be single.
