The power of sneezing..

I was at The Curve last Saturday and I went to Borders to get some magazines. Suddenly I felt my nose itchy and I sneezed. Of cos, I did cover my nose + mouth. hehe... Anyway, after sneezing, I noticed a lady wearing mask staring at me. I covered my mouth, I said 'excuse me' and why is she staring at me?

Must be the H1N1 that makes her feel scared lar... So many cases and deaths recently, no wonder she's afraid. I bet if she sees me now, she will definitely run away from me. Why? Cos I'm having flu right now and everybody scared of flu and fever and sore throat nowadays...

I think I better go see doctor today..... u know, just in case.....

Blood test vs Medical Check up

While I was entering the data into the efiling, I noticed one column which can deduct tax. It says there medical check up for self, spouse or child, can deduct up to RM 500. I did a blood test last year so immediately I entered RM200 in that column. When FL saw me typing in that column, he told me blood test cannot use to reduce tax.

Then I asked him, here says medical check up mar, blood test not consider as medical check up meh? He said no, but I still think it's a YES. hehe... So can you tell me, is blood test = medical check up?

Blood Test @ PathLab

After a long delay (before cny plan to do it, drag drag drag till now..), finally FL and I went to Pathlab last Saturday to do the blood test.

We decided to take the Platinum Healthcare Membership Program. RM 720 which includes 4 free Platinum Health Scan worth RM 260 each, a membership card (entitled for 20% discount on any Pathlab Health Screening at usual price) and a RM20 cash voucher. The 4 vouchers are valid till year 2011, which means we gonna use two of these vouchers for now and we can keep the other two for next year's blood test. Why don't we take the normal package? Normal package costs RM 220 per person and includes less tests.

The Platinum Health Scan includes a lot of tests..which I don't remember what are they and also free two cancer tests. Besides the blood, they required our urine too.

I was horrified with needles, i know it's not that painful but i'm still very scared. hehe..luckily everything went well for me, except my blood flows very slow. According to the ppl there, it's becos I seldom exercise and thus my blood circulation are slow and caused the blood flow slow. hmm, really need to exercise more lar..

Mine went well, very fast within 5 minutes, everything is done. It doesn't went so well with FL. They are having a hard time finding the right place to poke the needle. Poor FL, kena poked 3 times, and yet the blood was not enough for the test. They required him to come back again some other day as they said even they tried some more no blood will come out. Asked them why like that, they said some ppl are like that.. hmm... I wonder how come FL got no problem when he go donate blood, does that means these ppl are not experienced enuf?

first time, tried on FL's right hand,
no blood come out.

second time.. wow..
this is very painful... little bit blood ..

third time, also little bit..

Now waiting for the report. Pray hard, hope everything gonna be fine.

Beware of crunchy and crispy goreng pisang!!

Goreng pisang is best to eat when it's hot. Why? cos it's still crispy, when it's cold it will turned soft and doesn't taste that nice anymore. If you happened to eat a goreng pisang that still crispy and crunchy when it's cold or after few hours u bought it, don't ever buy from that stall anymore!!

This was told by FL's customer when he went to east malaysia for his business trip. The customer said if the goreng pisang is still cripsy after a few hours, it means there's straw in it! STRAW???!!! yes, that's right. He said those goreng pisang seller, they cut the straw into small small pieces and fried with the goreng pisang. By doing this, their goreng pisang will always be cripsy even it's cold and thus attract more customer!!

scary right! i don't know how true is this, but i think i believed what he said lar. so, just beware!

Doctor Jys

Last last weekend, i woke up early (i SELDOM wake up early one..) on both saturday and sunday. ya, early as in earlier than weekdays.. 7am++..unbelievable right? y? well, i had itchy throat, itchy till it wakes me up from my sleep!!

I HATE itchy throat, it's sooo uncomfortable. itchy throat is a signal to me, a signal to inform me to get prepared as i'm going to go thru this SICK CYCLE, itchy throat, flu, fever, sore throat, cough!! sequence may not be the same but definitely will not missed out any of them.

that is why when i first got itchy throat last last saturday, the first thing i did is to go to my fridge and find lemon. lemon gives me vit c and vit c can prevent me from sick!! i had a whole lemon + warm water, and the itchyness gone. thank god.. but who knows.. the next day, again i got the same symptom!! and of cos i took lemon again.. then i seems ok for a while, till last friday, one of my colleague got sick, flu, fever, cough (and yes, he is so hardworking and still come to work. hehe..), i guess i kena some virus from him then last saturday, throat itchy again, damn it.. i took a whole lemon, but too bad, lemon couldn't helped much, on sunday, i got sore throat!!

I know if i go see doctor, he will sure give me antibiotics, and i HATE antibiotics. I told myself i will try not to go see doctor? how? wait for it to cure by itself? of cos NOT, it won't just cured like that.. i have to do something one.. i'll be the doctor.. my own doctor. :p

i started to drink lot's of water, and boiled 'liong shui', of cos i continue to have a lemon everyday and also i drink 'yong sam sou + salt' (洋参须) in office, it's very good when you feel very heaty. On tuesday, i cured my sore throat!!! how i know? see my throat in the mirror lar. hehe.. besides that i dun feel pain anymore...

although my sore throat gone, but now seems like i'm having a little flu.. ~sigh, i guess if i'm still like that for the next 2 days i really need to go see a real doctor lar.. i guess all the things i do should have done earlier, when i first had my itchy throat. then probably can prevent me from all these... ~sigh

if you are not a doctor, it means you cannot be your own doctor. wuahahahaah...

Perfect Life?

This is something that happened to my friend's colleague. I'm feeling kind of down after I heard this, ya i know although i don't know that guy, and there's nothing i can do to help him, but hearing these kind of news really makes me feel sad.

Let's refer this colleague as Mr.A. Mr.A is in his thirties(below 35), quite good looking, considered very successful in his job, high position, good salary. Besides that, he had his own business as well, few houses and recently just bought a BMW. Basically financial wise, stable, can consider rich also...

As for relationship, he just got married few months ago, the wife is a pretty lady. Everything seems perfect to him, relationship is good, financial wise, good, job, good...then one day he went for a blood test. It's not that he felt sick, it's just something he do every year, to have a yearly blood test. Results came out, some results seems abnormal, doctor requested for further checkup and then...

he was diagnosed with CANCER!! he didn't feel the pain, didn't feel uncomfortable, to outsiders he's still looks very strong and healthy. The doctor asked him to go for an operation, to remove the cancer part and operation is not the end of the story, after removing the part, that part need to be further tested, to determine what stage of cancer he's in. and it's considered as a major operation, need at least a few months to recover..

His life seems to be perfect to most of the ppl until a month ago. I felt really sad after hearing this, money is important? job is important? i think, health is the most important thing.. without health, money/job all is nothing...

praying for you, hope you get well soon. Amitabha!

Lemon again? hehe..

I'm known as the 'Lemon Girl' among my colleagues. Why? cos i always buy lemons after we finished lunch @ giant, and normally i don't just buy 1 or 2, i'll buy 7 to 10 lemons at least!!

This is the third time i post about lemon in here. hehe.. good things must share mar...

This morning i woke up with a running nose, and an itchy throat. I hate itchy throat, i can't sleep with an itchy throat. Normally i'll get these kind of symptoms when i'm gonna fall sick, how's the process?

well well, normally will start with flu & itchy throat, then more serious flu (until voice changed, looks like crying that type), then followed by sore throat, then cough and fever!! Everytime also need to go through this process..

So i went to the kitchen, took one lemon out from the fridge, squeeze squeeze squeeze, pour into a cup, add in some warm water and drink!! I'm still having flu that time lar.. and guess what, after half an hour, no more itchy throat and an hour later, my flu gone too!! Amazing!!

That is why i always store lemons in my fridge, in case i need it ma. hehe.. So if u happened to got the same symptoms like me one day, remember to try the lemon!! it's really good!!

Sitting near the printer? Faster changed place!!!!

If you sit near the printer, BEWARE!! A research had been done on laser printers and found that when printing, the printer's ink will release a kind of powder which equivalent to 2nd hand smoke. It's very harmful to our lungs, it may even caused CANCER!!

OH NO!!! besides working in a smoking environment company, i also sit VERY NEAR to the printer... GOD.. please help me.... I can't stop my boss from smoking in the office, but there's one thing i can do... stop my colleagues from PRINTING!!!!!!!! no more printing from today onwards!!

Cancer cancer cancer

I've been hearing a lot of this 'cancer' word for the past few weeks. I just got to know that a friend of mine, his mum got breast cancer, then, another friend of mine told me the same thing, and THEN.. when i was watching the Desperate Housewives yesterday night, Lynette, (one of the housewife) got breast cancer TOO!! ya i know, that one is not real, but then, too much cancer already, don't you think so?

OH MY GOD, is cancer that popular nowadays? This is sooo scary, everybody is talking about cancer. when you asked around, what you fear of, in terms of sickness, i bet 10 out of 10 will tell you it's CANCER!!!! they are most afraid to be diagnosed with CANCER!!

ya, we all know that cancer can be cured if you discovered it early, BUT, the process of recovering, all the chemo therapy and don't talked about the money that you need to spend.

i shall say that having cancer is like living in hell. I understand how it feels when a family member got cancer, you can feel their fear, their pain and you can see it with your own eyes, how they suffer.. It's no longer one person suffering, it's the whole family!!

To my friends, please be strong, your mum needs your support.. and to my friends' mum.. I hope you will be strong too and you will definitely able to get rid of this! These will soon be over.

God bless.. Amitabha.

Cough Cough Cough - Happy Anniversary

I've been coughing since last year, around june/july, so Happy Anniversary to my cough!! I've seen the doctor, drank a few bottles of cough medicine (luckily i did not get addicted to it) but still on and off i'll start coughing. When i drink something cold, the next day i'll start coughing, if i eat ice cream, definitely cough lar..

But yesterday, i did not eat or drink anything cold but still i'm coughing, cough till i think i'm going to cough out my lungs, this coughing thing seems like is not following the rules anymore (only cough when eat/drink cold stuff).

Anybody got any old remedies that can cure cough? share with me lar, i don't want to cough until the day i die la!!

Tongue Cleaner

I took months looking for this and finally saw this in Tesco. Bought it with the price of RM 15.9. Ya, it's quite expensive, but you can used it for your whole life, not unless you lost it, like my previous one. i lost it when i moved house.

Tongue cleaning promotes fresh breath, a healthy mouth and restored tastes. Try it if you never used this before, you will feel the difference. Tongue cleaning will lead to a better oral health!

:p

Gastric

I am having gastric pain since monday, not those very painful one, but the pain is enough to make me suffer!!

Gastric is a very common sickness among girls, why, because in order to look pretty and good in shape, most of the girls they go on diet, skipping meals and etc, but this is DEFINITELY NOT ME!!

Sometimes i wonder how i get gastric.. I don't starve myself, I don't go on diet, I eat 3 meals a day(sometimes even more than that) but W-H-Y?????

why..why..tell me why....~sigh... gastric gastric please go away....

20 Lemons

I bought 20 lemons when i saw the price, RM0.49 each at carrefour the other day. (normally is around 80-90 cents each) Ppl stare at me, because no one buy that much lemons at one time, unless you doing business or something.

I really can feel the benefit of drinking lemon with warm water every morning. If you did read my previous posts, Lemon + warm water, you'll know that i encourage ppl to drink lemon every morning before breakfast. It helps you to have a smoother skin, can ease heartburn, bloating and other digestion problems and etc.

I've been drinking lemon every morning for 3 months, frankly speaking i don't feel that my skin getting smoother or so, but one thing i realize is, it heals my flu FAST!!

I got a very sensitive nose, a little bit of dusts or smoke, i'll start sneezing and it'll leads to flu. I used to have flu every morning, my brother and my father also have this symptom, i guess it's something running in our family. After i start drinking lemon juice with warm water, this actually reduce.. the sneezing and the flu!! Even if i'm having flu, drinking lemon juice helps to cure it fast!!
