... kangkong ...

Health Warning On KANGKUNG !

THIS COULD BE TRUE BUT FROM NOW ON, BE VERY CAREFUL AND ENSURE THE STEMS ARE CUT INTO 2 AND WASH THEM THOROUGHLY. THAT WILL ENSURE that ALL ARE CLEAN. Outside at the hawkers' eating stall we don't know but most dishes of fried Kangkung or Kangkung Belacan should be OK because they are thoroughly cooked in hot oil!Even in rojak containing Kangkung, I believe the vege is well cooked in very hot water and are not eaten in its raw state !

Dear All,

Attached is an article forewarded by a psychiatrist from Klang Hospital . I am sorry I do not have a copy of it in English.

It actually narrates how a young boy died after eating the kangkung vegetable. He had gastro-enteritis(diarrhoea/vomiting)and wasadmitted in hospital.

Post mortem revealed that there were leeches in his intestines which has multiplied many times. The leech found its way through the stem of the kangkong vegetable.The stem is hollow and is normally cooked together with the leaves.

One of the precautions we can take is to slice the stems into two and wash it well before cooking. (DAMN GOOD IDEA OR DON'T EAT THIS VEGE AT ALL !)

... dating a second woman ...

很感人的一篇文章 , 分享給你! 和另一女人約會?

結婚了廿一年後,我發現了一種別出心裁的方法,可以讓愛的火花永保新鮮。

After get marriaged for twenty-one years, i found an unique way to refresh my love life.

不久以前 ,我和另一位女士約會,其實那還是我妻子的主意,

Not long ago, I was date with a lady, and the idea was came from my wife.

有一天她說:「我知道妳很愛她。」我很驚訝,立刻爭辯說: 「但我愛的是妳呀!」「我知道,但你也愛她呀!」

One day my wife said: I know u love her. I was shocked: The one I love is you! She said: I know, but u love her too.

我妻子要我去看的女士是我的母親。

The lady that my wife asked me to visit was my mother.

她已經寡居了十九年,然而我忙碌的工作和身為二 個孩子父親的責任,令我分身乏術,以致很少有時間和她相聚。

She was alone for ninetwen years, however, I was busy with my job and my children, so I was less likely to visit her.

那晚,我打電話給她,邀約她第二天和我一起吃晚餐和看電影。

The night, i called her, invited her to have a dinner and movie with me at the second day.

「怎麼了,你還好嗎?」她問道。

' What happen? Are u alright?', she asked.

母親是那種會認為晚上那麼晚打電話,又突然邀約她 ,一定不會有什麼好事的人。 「我想如果有機會和妳單獨約會,一定很有意思。」我回答。

I answered: I was just thinking that if I have chance to date with u alone, it sure be very interesting.

她想了一會兒,然後說:「我非常樂意。」

After a while, she said: I do.

那個星期五下班以後,我開車去接她時,心裡有一點緊張,

The Friday after i worked, I fetched her at her home, felt like a little bit nervous.

因為從未嚐試過這樣的約會 。

Because I had never to date with my mom before.

當我到達她家時,我看她對這樣的約會,似乎也有一點緊張。

When I reached her house, I found that she seems a little bit nervous too.

她在門內等著,身上穿著大衣, 裡面那件禮服 還是最後一次慶祝結婚紀念日所穿的呢!

She was in her suite, which she wore during her last wedding anniversary with my dad, waiting me in her house.

她的頭髮還特意捲了一下,臉上 的微笑像天使一般。

She made her hair specifically, smiling like an angel.

上了車後,她得意洋洋地說:「我告訴我的朋友,我要和我的兒子外出約會,他們都好羨慕,迫不及待要聽聽我們約會的情形。」

When she get into my car, she proundly said: all my friends were jeolous at me when they know that i'm gonna dating with my son.

我們去一家雖不豪華,但十分雅致,溫暖舒適的餐廳。

We went to a restaurent which was not expensive but with warmth and cozy environment.

我母親挽住我的臂彎,好像第一 夫人一般。

My mom hold my hand as she was the wife of president.

入座以後,我必須幫她看菜單點菜,

After seat her, I help her to order her food,

因為她的眼睛現在只有大的字才看得見。

Because she only can read the big capital words.

用餐一半時,我抬起頭來,看到母親正在凝視我,

When we were eating, I found she was stare at me,

嘴角帶著懷舊的笑容說:「記得當你小時候,總是我為你看菜單的。」「那現在妳正好可以休息,輪到我來為妳服務了。」我回答。

She smile and said: I remembered that during ur childhood, I always make the order for u. I answered: then now is ur chance to take a rest and let me to serve u.

一面享用晚餐,我們一面聊天,聊得很愉快,

We keep talking during our dinner,

談了許多最近幾年來,各自生命中的一些事。

Sharing about our life and some special things heppening these few years.

我們聊得太久了,所以趕不上電影。當我送她回到家門口,

We talked for very long time until we missed the movie. When I fetched her back to her house,

她說「我要再和你一起外出 ,但下次讓我作東好嗎?」我答應了。

She asked: I'd like to date with u next time, but please let me pay the bill next time. I agreed.

回家後,妻子問我:「你的晚餐約會如何?」

When I back to my home, my wife asked: how's ur date with ur mom?

「非常有意思,比我想像的好多了!」 ~我回答。

' It was interesting and fun, over my expectation', I answered.

幾天以後,母親因心臟病猝發而去世。這事發生得太突然了,

Few days later, my mom was passed away due to heart failure. The thing happened in an unexpected manner,

讓我完全措手不及。

I wasn't prepared for it at all.

不久以後,我收到一封信,裡面是上次我和母親約會的那家餐館的一張收據,上面有一張字條寫著:「我已先付了賬,因為我確定自己不可能再有機會去了,但我還是付了兩人份的賬──你和你的妻子。 你絕對想不到那一晚的約會對我有多大的意義,我愛你。」

Soon after this, I received a letter, there are a receipt of the restaurent that I dated with my mom, and a message: I already paid the bill for our next date, even though I know I'd probably won't have chance to date with u anymore, I still pay the bill for wo persons: u and ur wife. U will never know how meaningful the date to me, I love U.

從那一刻起,我深深體會,一定要及時說:「我愛你」,並且要常常撥出時間給我們所愛的人。

At the moment, I realised: we must always spare our precious time to our beloved, and told them u love them before it is too late.

世上沒有任何事比自然如來因緣和你的家庭更重要,多花時間和他們在一起,因為這事絕不能拖延到「以後有時間再說 ...」。

There is nothing more important than ur family, spend more time with them before it is too late.

「樹欲靜而風不止,子欲養而親不待」 是人生一大憾事。

Don't make any regret in our life.

~{ 愛無分 ,愛有份}~ 不要等到爱得太迟,珍惜现在。祝您辛福!

... 男女問題 ...

最近有位同事結婚了。該是件喜事的;但因為是個女大男(拾陸嵗)加離婚加兩個拖油瓶的案例而不被看好。聽説男方的父母沒參加婚宴。不曉得是因爲年齡問題還是別的因素。只能祝福他們和希望他們排除萬難而永結同心。

假設是男大女(拾嵗以上)加離婚加兩個拖油瓶會有如此下場嗎?應該不可能吧!可想而知,我們的社會還是報有點封建思想的。

曾接觸同事的老婆而覺得她有點霸道;管的太多、太多。我妹就說他會漸漸失去所有的朋友。

這就間接講到我妹的遭遇。她最近認識一位朋友david的結拜兄弟,阿林哥。兩個曾無所不談的朋友因為女朋友而終止往來。就因為那女朋友太霸道!

david是個導遊,也因為工作性質而抽煙(蠻兇的)。一次,在阿林哥的車上抽。結果,被阿林哥的女朋友講的狗血淋頭。當然david的臉比包公還黑;因為阿林哥絕對不會這樣說david!還有我妹和他朋友去那麽多次臺灣,阿林哥從來不跟她們斤斤計較任何費用。但最近一次,他卻要我妹貼些車馬費!擺明是有幕後黑手在唆使。

渐渐,david與他們的一群朋友也因為多次的不愉快經驗而渐渐少联络阿林哥了。免得又有垂簾聽政而起哄了。該怪男的‘妻管嚴’還是這個女的不該太多事?

所以,事事有兩面。你認爲是該黑面的;別人可能認爲是白面的!

... cameron highlands ...

phew! my fever managed to subside after 2 days of rest.. else, i wouldn't be writing about this wonderful i had with 2 of my colleagues and sister..

4 of us went to cameron highlands by coach for a 3D2N short weekend.. i vividly remember my last trip up there was almost 20yrs ago.. the firewood in that house we stayed.. played some games too! my uncles were still not married at that time..

anyway, i really don't remember how it look like 20yrs ago and now.. the cameron that i went was a laid back small town on top of a mountain (or highland??).. the air was cool, not chilling compare to genting..

at cameron, you could get the freshest and juiciest vegetables at cheap prices!! imagine 7 packets of vegetables cost only RM10.. and you definately have to try the corn raw! yes, eat it raw and it's damn sweet.. my colleague said the hokkaido corn taste sweet when it's raw too but it's more yellowish..

visited a few farms, like roses (got some other flowers like daisy, hibicus, and other types), catus and of course the famous tea and straberry.. kind of disappointed with the strawberries as it wasn't as sweet as i had imagained.. and there wasn't much for us to pluck!

on the last day, we even went to the waterfall.. just normal waterfall.. and my beloved sister said other places were more magificant than cameron..

anyway, good things always end early.. the trip was soon over.. back to reality..

... guaranteed returns? think again …

an email from my classmate..

~~~~~~~~~~

I believe everyone has read about the property market situation in Singapore.

Here's something to share from my property developer friend (from the North).

From the lessons learnt from the financial meltdown, we now know that the word "guarantee" is not what we understand legally...I am writing this from the perspective of a developer.....

A guaranteed is in law an assurance by a third party that if the principal party fails to fulfill its obligations made by the other.

The word guarantee is used by the developer to say that it will make arrangements for the property to be rented at a specified amount for a specified period.

In most situations, an agreement is not entered with the developer but with a management company that is linked to the developer.

In such situation, the following question arises. Is the agreement signed to let the premises to the entity? If so, this agreement would be a landlord-tenant relationship and if the entity is only an undertaking to secure tenants for the buyer, it is only his agent. Therefore the terms of such agreement govern the relationship. At this stage, it emerged that though a guaranteed was initially talked about, in reality it does not exist.

On the other hand, the buyer may be dealing with a party that is not adequately funded. Thus the buyer may successfully bring a claim and obtain judgment for any rent not paid but could be left holding a paper judgment.

A buyer also needs to be aware whether the “guaranteed returns” are on the basis of the unit purchased in its bare form or fully furnished as there can be hidden costs in the arrangement.

The buyer also needs to know in what condition the unit will be handed back at the end of the rental period.

It is always important for the buyer to be aware of the actual obligations as the words such as “guarantee” stated in the promotional material will not create any rights that can be enforced.

... sulzer family day 2009 ...

it's my company, sulzer pumps 175 anniversary today! wow that's a long history isn't it??

anyway, it's a happy celebration for all fo us.. this also gave us the opportunity to bring the 3 sulzer office in Singapore as one big family..

the event was held at the zoo.. about 300+ employees from 3 different division attended.. (i wish i could upload all the pictures that we took but that's too much to upload already.. no choice, got to be selective..)

before the start of the family day, me and some colleagues were there at 7am volunteer to put up a event.. it's one of the highlight (grand finale i would call it) for the whole family day.. that is ~ building the dominos!!!

we supposed to set up a mini dominos for the head to mark the opening of the family day.. initially, we were quite worried we couldn't finish on time as we were only given till 10am to do it.. however, as we progressed, we got the hang of it.. haha..

we made it in time to finish the desired design.. so, this is the final look before it's gone in minutes..

also, my colleague managed to video down the 'fallen of our hard work'.. forgive her for the shakiness as she's trying to chase after the domino.. impressive isn't it??

the day ended after the major lucky draw and the first prize goes to this colleague whom captured the domino! she's lucky man!

afterwhich, i got to rush for my class.. studied for 1.5hrs only though.. haha.. :D

Friday 4 September 2009

... what a day! ...

must marked today down in my blog.. it's the 16th day of the 7th month.. nothin special so far hor?

then how come almost everyone so BAD mood and/or moody har???

it all starts with myself.. haha.. was so moody with something in the office.. anyway, would not elborate much.. just feel that 好人難做啊!bottomline: don't paint the picture so nice and then you don't bother to take care of it.. not sure what happened to my FC (financial controller) too.. was damn moody during lunch.. he didn't wait for his lunch kakis and went lunch alone..

放工後,約好一起吃晚餐。結果,吵了一架就拉倒。只因為我沒通知你我會遲到;還說我沒時間觀念!講點道理好嗎?如果要埋怨的話,那就沒完沒了。幸好,一切很快就結束了;扯平了。

when i reached home and bought some food back for dinner, my brother also started his moodiness.. i merely make a casual remark that the re-heat meat would taste slightly better if it's hotter.. and he just showed his unhappy face n rebuked sayin he only had 3hrs of sleep last night till now! he's TIRED!!

follwed by my dad who shoot off and told my brother don't bring outside problem home and vent the anger on family..

aiyo, so drama right? haha! cool down everyone!!! :D

what a day! :P

... coolest clock ...

This is a real cool clock!

I believe it comes from a Dutch web site.

Here is what you will see when you look at this clock. Don't do anything.

Just look at it and study it.

It gives you the EXACT TIME of the DAY in seconds, minutes, hours, the day, month and year.

Just read the green line. Everything's there. Study it for a few seconds and it will all come clear to you.

Remember these definitions:

1st Line is Seconds

2nd Line is Minutes

3rd line is Hours

4th Line is Days

5th Line is Months

6th Line is Years

This is the COOLEST clock I have seen yet!! A new one!! Look closely at it!! Amazing!!

A型男性的“性”情指数

A型男人做爱特别多。统计指出,A型男人平均做爱时间约为4分26秒,是四种血型中最短的。但优点是做爱次数多,平均每年196次,每隔1.86日就做一次。A型男性会不断努力,使伴侣得到高潮。如果在重要关键时刻,你能对他说:“好棒啊!”那么他一定爱死你,不用说,对A型男性的最大武器就是撒娇。A型男人平均一生中有4个性伴侣,同O型伴侣最为默契,在床上非常卖力,一定要令性伴侣有高潮,才会停止,相当为对方着想,是典型的好男人。

B型男性的“性”情指数

B型男性喜欢享受开放的性生活,不喜欢阴暗、拘谨,或者是有婚姻问题的性生活。简单地说,爱情和性是全然不同的两回事,可以享受没有爱情的性生活,也可以不透过性而确认爱情。女性如果能够率直地表现出自己的喜悦,或许就能够享受幸福的婚姻生活。B型男人持久力最强,平均做爱时间最长,约7分11秒。做爱重质不重量,平均每年做爱158次,每隔2.31日才做一次。平均一生中约有8个性伴侣,同A型伴侣最为默契。

AB型男性的“性”情指数

AB型男性属于较严肃的性主义者,要与他配合并不困难,他也很喜欢黄色笑话,但事实上,他们对性都有洁癖,因此,还是以自然的方式好。其中也有人认为,伴侣一定要是个处女,否则他便会显得不积极。这时候还是以自然的形式创造一个绝佳的气氛最好。AB型男人对性最保守,他们平均做爱时间约为6分10秒,持久力排第二。每年平均做爱约173次,每隔2.1日做一次。平均一生中约有3个性伴侣,数目最少,同A型女人最合拍。对性较为保守,不会轻易同女人上床,上床的话,一定要有感情。

O型男性的“性”情指数

O型男人喜欢有规律的性生活,认为做爱像吃饭一样,都是生活中不可缺少的事情。O型血的人虽然热烈地接受性爱,但也会表现出较淡然的态度。通常男女双方交往,会因感情热度升高而冲破理智防线。进而产生性爱的经验,显然地,这和男性的交易式爱情截然不同。一般而言O型血的人对爱情较主动,但趋向贪婪。他们做爱的过程虽然认真而细腻,但事后却无法抓住片刻的美好回忆。 O型男人平均做爱时间约为5分32秒,在四种血型中排第三。每年平均做爱约有180次,每隔1.91日就做一次。平均一生中约有6个性伴侣,同O型女人最为合拍。
