... a very touching moment ...

(Dedicated to a wonderful feeling called - FRIENDSHIP)

Year : 1975

Situation : Last day of school

Arjun Singh and Pargat Singh are very close friends. The whole school talked about their friendship. They had been friends right from their kindergarten days. They have studied together, roamed around together, sat together in school, ate together. They both wanted to become Police officials and serve the country.But today was a day they always dreaded. It was their last day together.

On their way back from School Arjun started talking

Arjun : Bro! I am moving to a different city to study. I will miss you man

Pargat : I will miss you too mate. But nothing can break our friendship. We will at least meet once every year.

Arjun : Yes that is a deal and they parted with tears in their eyes...

As time went by, both got busy with their work life. They kept their promise for two years and after that they moved on with their own lives and in the process Arjun lost his contact with Pargat. Time went by and both became Police Officers.

Year: 2009

Venue: The Police station where Arjun works

Tring... Tring... Arjun picks up the call and he gets a pleasant surprise...

"Is this Arjun?"

"Yes. Who is on the line?"

"Bro. Its Pargat! I just found out that you are posted in this station"

Tear drops welled up Arjun's eyes

Arjun : Where are you?

Pargat : I am standing outside the Police station. Come Out

Arjun : Is it? I am coming right away.

Arjun rushed out of the Police station and saw Pargat standing outside. They were seeing each other for the first time after thirty years. He wanted to go and hug his friend. But he could not hug his friend.

It was a very touching moment for both of them :

... why men cheat ...

Want to affair-proof your marriage? Then first, you've got to understand what makes men cheat. Hear it from the relationship experts as they dish out on the number one reason for infidelity and ways to protect your relationship.

Why men cheat

The XY species: They're notorious for their roving eyes and their obsession with bikini-clad models, so connect the dots, and the automatic assumption is that men cheat for the sex.

But here's the surprising truth: According to marriage counselor M. Gary Neuman, author of The Truth About Cheating who surveyed 200 cheating and non-cheating husbands, the number one reason for straying is emotional dissatisfaction, which an astounding 48 percent of cheating men listed as the main trigger. Only 8 percent of men listed sexual dissatisfaction as the primary factor in their infidelity. In fact, just 12 percent of cheating husbands said their mistress was more physically attractive than their wife.

Many of these "emotionally dissatisfied" men claim they don't feel appreciated or wanted. And Neuman believes it is this feeling of underappreciation and lack of thoughtfulness that far outweigh any other reason for infidelity.

Men need emotional intimacy, too

The truth is, acts of kindness and gestures of appreciation mean a lot to men, too, even though they are less likely to express these feelings than women. Patricia Covalt, author of What Smart Couples Know agrees that emotional connection is key to a happy relationship. "Most long-term relationships/marriages eventually evolve to a point when friendship and/or companionship is the glue that holds them together," adds Covalt.

Which is why it's critical for couples to include intimate conversation, emotional connecting, and making "us" time for each other. Check out these ways to keep your relationship strong.

Strengthening your relationship

Make your partner feel appreciated. It's easy for long-term couples to start taking each other for granted, and the things you loved about your partner when you first met may have faded over time. However, it's important to keep expressing that feeling of admiration for each other: Thank him when he does something nice for you, and aim to give him at least one sincere compliment everyday -- be it a physical asset ("You look delicious in this shirt!") or a personality trait. ("Thank you for being so supportive.") When you express appreciation for your partner, it reassures him your love and helps boosts his self-esteem.

Make for more quality couple time. You need time as a couple to make sure your marriage stays strong, so set aside at least ten minutes everyday just for each other. Any activity that reconnects you and nurtures your bond counts as quality couple time -- whether it's a lazy weekend lounging around, cooking something together, a pillow talk before you go to sleep, a quiet evening at home alone with the kids at the parents' place, or even a mid-week lunch date. All these special moments together add up to reinforce your intimacy as a couple.

... updates ~ my interests ...

meet up with jo~N aka my sista and 2 of her church mates to get roller blades.. yes, this is my latest interest right now other than bowling.. haha..

talking about bowling.. the world is so small.. i got to know a new bowling kaki through work! she's from TNT Freight and is trying to get my business.. haha..

while chatting with her.. (opps! it's during working hours.. yes, i admit) found out hell lots of information about her.. then we just stepped on the bowling topic and wow!! we're so enthusiastic and delighted about it.. so, arranged to play bowling next tuesday at safra mt faber..

ok, back to my roller blading thing.. oh, 4 of us went to this shop, Skateline to look at some roller blades as they are having discount.. it's the GSS right now.. so i guess everyone is giving discount everywhere..

it turned out roller blades could cost almost the same price as a bowling ball.. of course, amateur like me would not need to get high end ones.. those $100-200 would do just fine.. this sport is cheaper than bowling isn't it??

anyway, my guru and another gal (half teacher i would say) need to get new ones as their old one are spoiled.. in the end, both my guru and my sis bought their new toy..

well, i'm luckier.. i'm getting mine for free!! yippee!! :P as it turns out someone is giving away a old pair and it happens to be my size.. i will be getting them on sunday and we're all going roller blading after that.. (god is looking after me.. *a-men* ) hee :-)

crossed my fingers i could wear that free pair, else i would need to get myself a new pair..

... breast cancer ...

this is a forwarded mail... take your time to read it... better safe than sorry!

~~~~~~~~~~

1. 為何乳癌最常發生在靠近腋窩的地方?

不久以前,我參加了一個由 Terry Birk 贊助的「乳癌防制研討會」,在最後的問答時間裏,我提出了一個問題:「為什麼乳癌 常見的區域在靠近腋窩的地方呢?」

當時沒有人可以回答我的問題,可是最近我收到這封信,我發現它解決了我當時提出的問題。一位朋友將這封信轉寄給我,我把它給一位正在接受化療的朋友看,她說在她最近參加的互助團體中,她也正好學到這件事情。那就是「導致毒素累積成惡性腫瘤的原因是 --- 剃或拔除腋毛。」

最主要的理由是:人體有幾個主要排除毒素的區域,包括了膝蓋後方關節,耳後,鼠蹊及腋窩。它們排除毒素的方法就是「流汗」。

腋毛會幫助汗水順著腋毛流出體外,若剃或拔掉腋毛,因而阻止了我們身體的毒素從腋窩排出。但是這些毒素並不會因此而消失,反而會因為無法排汗而儲存我們腋下的淋巴結,幾乎所有的乳癌都是發生在乳房外側上方的區域,那正是淋巴結所在的地方。它剛開始生腫瘤的地方就剛剛好離腋窩不遠,不久就會蔓延到整個乳房。

男人之所以比較不會得到9癌的原因是因為他們從未剃掉腋毛,這些毒素就被阻絕在他們的腋毛之外而不會直接接觸到皮膚。可能你會問男人每天剃鬍子為何不會得乳癌,因下巴並不靠近乳房,也沒有淋巴組織。

不但如此,在剃毛時剃刀可能會割傷皮膚,女人如果在剃毛之後馬上使用防汗/止汗用品,更會提高罹患乳癌的機率,因為這樣皮膚上那些細微的傷痕使得止汗用品的化學物質可以直接進入到腋窩。

就算你不搽防汗用品,在剃毛或拔毛時,會暫時使腋下毛孔擴張,使細菌更容易進入,有腋毛也會幫助阻隔細菌直接接觸到腋窩。

西方洋人婦女比我們華人女性更注重儀錶,但是現在她們也開始不剃腋毛了,因為她們現在也意識到不美觀總好過患上乳癌。

請你將這個訊息轉寄給你認識的女孩子,你的姐妹, 尤其是你媽嗎, 40歲以上的婦女更加不可以剃,因為這個年齡層患癌風險更加高,因為乳癌的罹患率已經高的驚人,這樣的認識或許可以挽救許多的生命。

請將此信轉寄給你生命中所有的女人:母親、女兒、姊妹、伯母阿姨以及朋友。

2. 一種罕見的新種乳癌於十一月被發現。

一名女士的乳房如同哺乳中的婦人般起了濕疹。

她的乳房X光攝影片並沒有顯示出任何代表硬塊的陰影,因此醫師只開了一般的抗生素以避免進一步的細菌感染。上了兩次醫院後病情卻持續惡化,醫師於是再度請她去照乳房X光攝影。

這回陰影出現了。切片檢查後,發現了急速複製中的惡性腫瘤細胞。為了減緩細胞複製,先是化療,接下來乳房切除,然後又是一整個療程的化療以及放射線治療。九個月的密集治療之後,醫師們保她恢復健康了﹗

之後整整一年的時間,她過著最充實的生活,然而這批頑強的癌細胞竟轉移到肝臟!四個療程之後她決定捨棄有著許多副作用的化療,找回生活品質。她詳細的計畫最後五個月所有的生活細節,最後的幾天在嗎啡的麻醉效果下,安祥的走了。

她在臨死前留下了這封訊息,希望轉達給所有的女性朋友們!女士們!請隨時注意身體細微的變化,並且,有任何不正常的情形時,請儘早尋求醫療協助!

乳房外柏哲氏病:這是一種罕見的癌前病變,以濕疹型態發生於乳頭及乳暈上。濕疹後來會形成一片邊緣有硬皮的傷口。我不曾懷疑這可能是癌症,但癌症找到了我。

我的乳房並沒有任何異。我看醫師唯一的理由是因為這偶爾會發癢、疼痛,十分惱人又醜陋的濕疹。家庭醫師開給我的任何乳膏都無法除去它;皮膚科醫師先前給我的眼周皮膚病藥物也無法治好它。

讓似乎讓人感到不安,但無法使我聯想到癌症的到來。我懷疑許多的女性朋友們都不知道乳暈及乳頭上的濕疹可能象徵乳癌。(我一開始的症狀僅是乳頭上冒出一個小痘子)。

柏哲氏病之所以可怕的理由之一,就是因為:乳頭上那似乎無害的細菌感染或是發炎,卻在延誤就醫後一發不可收拾。

有哪些症狀呢?

i. 乳頭有持續的紅腫、不明分泌物以及導致搔癢及灼熱感的硬皮剝落。(我一開始的時候除了一邊乳房有硬皮剝落外,沒有其他症狀)。

ii. 乳頭上有無法癒合的傷口。 (我當初的傷口分佈在乳暈,乳頭中彊並且有白色濃稠分泌物)

iii. 通常只有一邊乳房被感染。這怎麼判斷呢?您的醫師會在觸壓檢查以後,建議您立刻做兩個乳房的X光攝影。因為正常皮膚炎的症狀為紅腫、硬皮剝落以及不明分泌物,所以醫師只有在症狀轉僅產生于單一乳房時,才會懷疑癌症的可能性。屆時進行發炎部位的病理切片,就能找出病因。請嚴肅的看待這封信,並且盡你所能的轉寄給親朋好友;它可能拯救許多人的生命。

我的乳癌在無數化療、28個療程的放射線物理治療以及持續服用抗雌激素後,依舊轉移到骨隨。如果能早點診斷出乳癌,說不定就不會發生這種事了。

致所有的讀者:女性同胞不知道柏哲氏病是非常讓人難過的消息。為了幫助四周所有的女人,請將此訊息轉發給周圍的人,你可能會因此 挽救一個生命....

3. 另外還有一條重要資訊請注意:面紙 〔Facial Tissue〕含有滑石粉塵會致卵巢癌.... 你不可不知面紙含有滑石粉塵會致卵巢癌。 這不是~~衛生紙〔Toilet Paper〕與面紙〔Tissue〕擦在哪里(屁股上)的問題喔!

以面紙取名為面紙,因為只能擦臉。衛生紙取名為衛生紙,就是要擦了會衛生的。

以下資料來源:永豐餘造紙股份有限公司∶

董事長秘書楊秘書以前曾看過有關衛生紙與面紙的討論。一直覺得有些疑問,所以我終於請教本公司研發部陳經理得知衛生紙與面紙的製作差異:兩者均是原生紙漿製作,均有經過消毒程式,衛生紙未再加工添加任何添加物。而面紙加工添加入濕強劑,在水中不易斷裂,所以不適沖入馬桶;又添加了柔軟劑及活性劑,紙粉(粉塵)多。你若不信可將面紙在空抖幾下,你會看到很多紙粉掉出來。

一般人都認為面紙紙質較好,就是因為添加了這些東西加工,也使得成本居高,當然售價也較高。

因此陳經理解釋說,面紙不能當作衛生紙使用,尤其女孩子使用面紙當替衛生紙來擦拭下體。所以就算廁所裏沒有放衛生紙,也千萬別用面紙來檫陰部。

要千萬注意,陰部皮膚敏感的人會有不適反應,也會導致卵巢癌。

陳經理還說,他們本身懂得這些原理的人,自己家裏都少用面紙,儘量全面使用衛生紙。

... 放下 ...

每次看完一部偶像劇就會有很深的感觸。

昨晚我把《敗犬女王》‘趕’完了。當然,也哭紅了雙眼。發覺我開始很容易受感動。動不動就能哭得稀里嘩啦。眼淚好像水龍頭喔!

當中,有一幕女主角去訪問神經科醫生。問了一個問題。 (忘記是什麽了)... 只記得那醫生説道∶ 放下其實只需要一分鐘,不是嗎?

讓我不禁領悟這道理。

何必一直在意莫件人事物而對此耿耿於懷呢?很多時候,我們都不懂得取捨;不曉得放下的樂趣。不管是愛情或事業,我們都對它們那麽的執著。因此,背負這沉重的枷鎖使到自己痛苦不堪。

何不學著放下讓自己好過一點?

... outing with classmates ~ finally! ...

well, we still enjoyed ourselves and our class rep, bruce is the only thorn among the roses!!! carol joined us after the singing.. as it's still early, we adjourn to dempsy road, red dot for a drink.. as bruce's friend owned it and can get discount mah.. :P

nice ambience i must say.. we shared a lot of things and i must say our dear class rep is really one comical guy.. made us laughed the whole night..

it's been a while since i last drank (2 years or maybe longer??).. so couldn't really hold my drink even though we only ordered a tower of beer and shared.. concluded beer is still yucky to me..

furthermore, i was more concerned about road block that night so didn't really dare to drink mnore.. luckily i escaped.. haha..

anyway, i don't mind to go back to red dot again in future.. however, i shall have coffee or tea already.. the feeling of being caught is too scary..

... microwaving water - dangerous! ...

A 26-year old man decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done numerous times before). I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he wanted to bring the water to a boil.. When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted that the water was not boiling, but suddenly the water in the cup 'blew up' into his face.

The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand, but all the water had flown out into his face due to the build up of energy. His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face which may leave scarring. He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye.

While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is a fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner, something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc.., (nothing metal).

General Electric's Response:

Thanks for contacting us, I will be happy to assist you. The e-mail that you received is correct. Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. The superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than two minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for thirty seconds! before moving it or adding anything into it.

Here is what our local science teacher had to say on the matter: 'Thanks for the microwave warning. I have seen this happen before. It is caused by a phenomenon known as super heating. It can occur anytime water is heated and will particularly occur if the vessel that the water is heated in is new, or when heating a small amount of water (less than half a cup).

What happens is that the water heats faster than the vapor bubbles can form. If the cup is very new then it is unlikely to have small surface scratches inside it that provide a place for the bubbles to form. As the bubbles cannot form and release some of the heat has built up, the liquid does not boil, and the liquid continues to heat up well past its boiling point.

What then usually happens is that the liquid is bumped or jarred, which is just enough of a shock to cause the bubbles to rapidly form and expel the hot liquid. The rapid formation of bubbles is also why a carbonated beverage spews when opened after having been shaken.

... good one!! ...

A little rabbit happily running through the forest stumbles upon a giraffe rolling a Marijuana cigarette.

The rabbit looks at her and says, "Giraffe my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health. Come with me running through the forest, you'll see, you'll feel so much better!"

The giraffe looks at him, looks at the joint, tosses it and goes off running with the rabbit.

Then they come across an elephant doing Opium, so the rabbit again says, "Elephant my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health. Come running with us through the pretty forest, you'll see, you'll feel so good!"

The elephant looks at them, looks at his razor, mirror and all, and then tosses them and starts running with the rabbit and giraffe.

The three animals then come across a lion about to take a Heroin shot...

The rabbit says "Lion my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health! Come running with us through the sunny forest, you will feel so good!"

The lion looks at him, puts down his needle, and starts to beat the hell out of the little rabbit.

As the giraffe and elephant watch in horror, they look at him and ask, "Lion, why did you do this? He was merely trying to help us all!"

The lion answers...
