What Is My Name Hidden Meaning

I came across this freaky stuff (What's Your Name's hidden Meaning?). I got to say not every tingy is true about me about 50% only .Others are just nonsenses I think!



You Are Charming and Eloquent



You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people.
Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people's problems.
Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest. (Not Sure)

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. (Not sure)

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you.
You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night.
Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.



You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life.
You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone.
Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.

You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way.
And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life.( this is totally opposite) I think it is incorrect
You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it.

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. (this is incredibly true)

You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.
Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.
Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.


You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.


You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. (Hmm..this amazingly true ..not bad!)

Sleepy Heads

Baha'i Conference Held in Malaysia!


I was sleeping most of the time in the conference trying to be honest here!(damn every 10 to 15 minutes knockout..aiyoO). Anyways,the conference was very great and i had the opportunity to meet my long lost friends like Kaniska, Nurvin, the friends from Malacca duno la so many more (tooo many to mention..lazy me!)




Children class was wonderful, i was terrified at first but later on it was okay (Because earlier on i had a bad dream about children that week {small children tried killing me with wat crayons!!! weird nightmare..not lying).
Having to mention i had the chance to take care a physically disable child that was interesting and quiet challenge also. Not bad for a start as a young children class teacher (lots more to learn from Auntie Peng..my Cik Gu) i have learned that children class You need Alot of 'Patient' (got to add that to my virtue list).



Anyways, the conference really pump up my spirit as a Bahai Youth all thanks to the Heroes Are They Project(Planing to start something in Nilai)At least something in Nilai.
Youths Can Move The World!
Youths Forever Rock!
Hell Yeah!
( i'm super high spirit and also abit crazy today! Beware) I think it is because of 3 cups of coffee (Caffeine)
To End,this Conference is the best ever held in Malaysia fullstop!

Myths about the Brain

Can Get Holes in Your Brain Through Drug Use?

Exactly how different drugs affect your brain is a pretty controversial subject. Some people claim that only the most severe drug use can have any lasting effects, while others believe that the first time you use a drug, you're causing long-term damage. One recent study states that using drugs like marijuana only cause minor memory loss, while another claims that heavy marijuana use can permanently shrink parts of your brain. When it comes to using drugs like cocaine or Ecstasy, some people even believe that you can actually get holes in your brain.


In truth, the only thing that can actually put a hole in your brain is physical trauma to it. Researchers do claim that drugs can cause short-term and long-term changes in the brain. For example, drug use can lower the impact of neurotransmitters (chemicals used to communicate signals in the brain) like dopamine, which is why addicts need more and more of the drug to achieve the same feeling. In addition, changes in the levels of neurotransmitters can result in problems with neuron function. Whether this is reversible or not is also up for debate.
On the other hand, a study in New Scientist from August 2008 states that long-term use of some drugs actually causes certain structures in the brain to grow, resulting in a permanent change. They claim that this is which is why it's so difficult to change the behaviors of addicts.
But although the jury's still out on exactly how different drugs can affect your brain for the long term, we can be reasonably sure of one thing: No drug actually puts holes in your brain.

An Exam That Is Not Worth Taking

WELCOME to stPM


I got a call from my long long friend (best friend actually) saying to me that he is coming to INTI to study (SAM) South Australian Matriculation . And I said what the hell (I though You where doing STPM!!) And he goes on telling me that he was not the only one coming to college to start all over again but majority of them are doing so ~( Omg! Wat On earth have Malaysian Education have been?) Why is it STPM tat freaking hard? Is it to kill the NOn-Malays is it!

I simply don't understand the reason behind it ! Damn............Malaysia B*LL SH*T

Bored? Your brain is disconnecting



PAY attention please, using as much of your brain as possible.
When your mind wanders during a boring task, it may be because parts of your brain simply disconnect.
Knowing that activity in different brain regions changes when attention lapses, Daniel Weissman of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, wondered if there were also changes in the crosstalk between regions.
Weissman asked volunteers to spend a tedious hour in a functional-MRI brain scanner, identifying letters that flashed on a screen.


At times, their reactions slowed, showing that attention was wavering. During these lapses, communication between regions related to self-control, vision and language processing died down. "Attention failed to grease the connections in the brain.


This is equivalent to these regions disconnecting, he says. Weissman presented the results at a recent neuroscience meeting.
Attention is like a communication amplifier that only focuses on the connections between certain regions at certain times, says Weissman.


When the amplifier switches to a new set of connections, existing ones weaken. Communication between those regions slows and attention lapses.
The researchers also noticed one particular region "lit up" during lapses, and used this to predict when the mind would switch its focus.




My Opinion


SO all this while my brain is disconnecting when i am bored la.. Okay fine, i can live with that..!

Nobel laureate may be next US energy secretary

President-elect Barack Obama has chosen a Nobel laureate for US energy secretary and is likely to pick an environmental veteran to serve as coordinator of climate policies, Democratic Party officials said on Wednesday.
Rounding out his cabinet, Obama planned to announce at a Chicago news conference on Thursday that former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, a South Dakota Democrat, would lead efforts to improve the health care system as the secretary of Health and Human Services.
Simmering in the background is the scandal involving Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who was arrested on Tuesday and charged with attempting to sell the US Senate seat that Obama had held until he was elected president on 4 November. Obama on Wednesday called on Blagojevich to resign and has sought to distance himself from the disgraced governor.
Announcements to come in the days ahead include several key environment-related appointments - Steven Chu as energy secretary, Carol Browner as energy and climate coordinator, Nancy Sutley to head the White House Council on Environmental Quality and Lisa Jackson to run the Environmental Protection Agency.


Steven Chu shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997 for figuring out how to chill atoms to a few millionths of a degree above absolute zero.His undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics were from the University of Rochester and his Ph.D from UC Berkeley. He has been awarded ten honorary degrees and has held numerous visiting lectureships at universities including Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, and the Collège de France. (Dude this guy is smart!! No joke.)


Scientific Solutions

They will be charged with developing policies to reduce carbon emissions blamed for global warming, develop new sources of energy and create new jobs - a top priority for Obama.

Chu is director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and shared the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics. He was an early advocate for scientific solutions to climate change. Go Obama>>

10 Years of the International Space Station (ISS)



Floating 190 miles above the Earth's surface, the extraplanetary crash pad known as the International Space Station careens through the sky at an average of over 17,000 miles per hour, making almost 16 Earth orbits a day.
Set for completion in 2011, it's been 10 years since construction first began on the ISS. The final version will double its current capacity of three residents to six and provide incalculable contributions to science. In honor of its 10th birthday, I've assembled some of my favorite photos from the space station's . A glimpse at one of the world's most impressive sci-fi realities.



The International Space Station is seen here in front of the Earth's horizon














Ooops! Cosmonauts Fyodor N. Yurchikhin (right) and Oleg V. Kotov (center), Expedition 15 commander and flight engineer, respectively, representing Russia's Federal Space Agency; and Malaysian spaceflight participant Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor *pose* for a photo in the Destiny laboratory of the International Space Station(ISS).(Still duno why Malaysian government sent this guy to space that also (tumpang wan), I my opinion it is just a complete waste of peoples money!!) "Malaysia Boleh" I guest!

Ten ways to save the world

Ten Technologies to save the planet, a new book by a business man and climate-change commentator Chris Goodall, says climate change can be over come if we adopt the following energy source and technologies :




1. Wind power
Despite a reputation for being unreliable, wind power has the potential to provide more than 30% of the world's electricity. The wind does not blow constantly, (of course) so we will need to develop better ways of storing the energy we generate with it. And rather than being used purely locally, wind energy will have to be distributed between different states and countries.

2. Solar energy

The sun provides more than enough energy to power the world many times over - we just need to come up with an effective way of capturing this energy. Current solar panels are relatively inefficient, but increasing investment in solar cells is producing better models which capture more energy and cost less to produce.



3. Power from the oceans

Tides, waves and currents possess huge potential for low-carbon energy generation, but efforts to harness them have been hampered by the difficulty of designing devices that can tolerate harsh oceanic conditions.This year, however, power-generating buoys that harness wave energy 50 metres underwater were put to the test in the UK, and the world's first commercial-scale tidal turbine delivered electricity to the UK national grid.

4. Combined heat and power

Waste heat accounts for about 40% of the energy produced by power stations. One way to avoid this is to bring the power station into the home( by installing domestic microgenerators). These miniature power plants are almost as efficient as huge generators and the heat they produce can be used to heat our homes and water.

5. Super-efficient homes

Instead of building new houses that are "zero carbon", a better - and cheaper - way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from domestic housing is to eco-renovate existing buildings. Germany is leading the way with the PassivHaus movement, which aims to reduce emissions by 80-90% through measures such as insulating walls and windows and using improved ventilation methods that don't lose heat.


6. Electric cars

Electric cars have a bad reputation when it comes to style and speed, two factors that matter to car enthusiasts. But electric sports cars like the Tesla Roadster can give petrol-powered models a run for their money. Though they're (not cheap at the moment), prices are likely to come down as batteries improve.

And with running costs as little as 5% those of diesel models, electric cars will soon start to look like a more viable option. Recent research has even suggested that electric cars could act as energy stores for the power grid when not being driven.

7. Second-generation biofuels

Making fuel from food crops is now almost *(universally regarded as a bad idea) , encouraging deforestation and potentially leading to food shortages. But the next generation of biofuels made from agricultural waste shows real promise. Using new cellulose-cracking technologies, waste wood can be broken down into liquid fuel, and with US venture capitalists investing heavily in these technologies, it won't be long until this idea becomes a reality. However, with the global appetite for fuel on the increase, careful management of cellulose production will be vital.

8. Carbon capture

With the growth of renewable energy sources failing to keep up with world demand for electricity, finding an effective way of capturing and storing the carbon dioxide produced by power stations is one of the most important challenges we face. Investment in carbon-capture technologies has been slow to pick up, but governments around the world are starting to understand the importance of funding this research, and promising new technologies are already emerging.

9. Biochar

With predictions of climate change getting increasingly urgent, we desperately need cheap, simple and fast ways of reducing greenhouse emissions. One idea is to sequester carbon as biochar, a charcoal made from burning agricultural waste in the absence of air. Biochar is exceptionally stable and can be stored underground for hundreds of years without releasing its carbon into the atmosphere - and it improves the fertility of the soil.

10. Biogas stoves

Deforestation is a complex issue, and it's looking more and more likely that we will have to pay people to maintain forest lands. But until such a system is up and running, we will need to focus on technologies that reduce the need to cut down trees. One such technology is biogas stoves, powered by methane released from rotting organic waste, which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. Leading the way is China, which is heavily promoting the use of biogas technologies.

Nature

The Meaning Behind It


I am so free now days ( I came across a subtopic which was on a book),guest what book was that { 'Abdul Baha' Some Answered Questions} in that book the meaning of the word (Nature) gives a totally new in sign on both (spiritual wise and scientific perception)! It goes like this:-



Nature is that condition, that reality, which in appearance consists in life and death, or, in other words, in the composition and decomposition of all things.
This Nature is subjected to an absolute organization, to determined laws, to a complete order and a finished design, from which it will never depart—to such a degree, indeed, that if you look carefully and with keen sight, from the smallest invisible atom up to such large bodies of the world of existence as the globe of the sun or the other great stars and luminous spheres, whether you regard their arrangement, their composition, their form or their movement, you will find that all are in the highest degree of organization and are under one law from which they will never depart.
But when you look at Nature itself, you see that it has no intelligence, no will. For instance, the nature of fire is to burn; it burns without will or intelligence. The nature of water is fluidity; it flows without will or intelligence. The nature of the sun is radiance; it shines without will or intelligence. The nature of vapor is to ascend; it ascends without will or intelligence. Thus it is clear that the natural movements of all things are compelled; there are no voluntary movements except those of animals and, above all, those of man. Man is able to resist and to oppose Nature because he discovers the constitution of things, and through this he commands the forces of Nature; all the inventions he has made are due to his discovery of the constitution 4 of things. For example, he invented the telegraph, which is the means of communication between the East and the West. It is evident, then, that man rules over Nature.
Now, when you behold in existence such organizations, arrangements and laws, can you say that all these are the effect of Nature, though Nature has neither intelligence nor perception? If not, it becomes evident that this Nature, which has neither perception nor intelligence, is in the grasp of Almighty God, Who is the Ruler of the world of Nature; whatever He wishes, He causes Nature to manifest.
One of the things which has appeared in the world of existence, and which is one of the requirements of Nature, is human life. Considered from this point of view man is the branch; nature is the root. Then can the will and the intelligence, and the perfections which exist in the branch, be absent in the root?
It is said that Nature in its own essence is in the grasp of the power of God, Who is the Eternal Almighty One: He holds Nature within accurate regulations and laws, and rules over it.

I used to play the Tenor Saxophone in school which looks little bit like this (mine is a bit darker than this). There are two different saxophones one is called tenor abit bigger and the auto saxo is smaller.Crazy me also played the Scottish Bagpipes in concert and also Merdeka Parade in Malacca Town(i hate that stupid instrument).I am kind of active in the band representing school four times wining three times in a row for the freaking annual State Marching Band Competition and representing once for state level.(basically not proud it).

  3. I love cycling. I usually spend my evenings ronda-ing in my neighhood and finding shortcuts. Since, primary till secondary my father doesn't sends me to school I will go to tution to school with my bicycle! My bike have serve me well!

  4. I like exsotic motorbike and cars. (ex. Harley Davidson bikes, smart cars,and soo on).I wish to get one when start I start earning big money$$.

  5. I usually spare some of my time watching Tv series not only English ones but also chinese Mandarin Tv series.

  6. I am also a bit (Kiasu Kiasi) sometimes , exspecially with my elder brother scared if he gets better than me! (sibling rivalry) i don't share some things with him!!! ( Typical Chinese of me ).Bad boy rit .....haha

  7. I spend much of my time with journals on science studies (My interest!) like new scientist magazines , life science journals, and also wired Science.And (my elder brother) calls me a nerd!(tat Monkey is jelous)

Back to the Pass


Me Back In 1 Year And 10 Month Ago






I found a few picture of me when i was way
way back in schooling days. The days good old days and also bad one's in Malacca St. Francis Institution .


I was in form four and five
the most crucial of all students lives.


Let me Flashback, Hmm......... I was young (katak di bawah tempurung), always get nagging by mum (I still can hear it now in my ears P.r.a.v.e.e.n..............! G.O...... A.N.D. S.T.U.D.Y ...... !i stick my head on TV Programmes like American Idols, Malaysian Idol, Smallville Tv series (hardcore Fan still duno why until now!),I`m a crazy geek who watches National Geographic, Discovery Channel , Animal Planet and so on..


Okay, Come to academics


I hated add.maths to death( i REally wish to kill
the guy who found it...),loved!! my second wife (Biology), also loved my third wife
History( except the Islamic part...boring), disliked Moral ( I think it is a stupid
subject!),loved!! English not because of the subject but my great teacher (Brother
Micheal), did't liked chemistry tat much (chem cikgu sucks..my pervious band
master...damn i hate him-hypocrite ),physics not my thingy, and soo on (aka forgot)




Next, Studying.


I usually wake up early in the morning
to study.( Want to noe y? I can't study at late nites alone...SHAME OF ME ... I'm scared of ghost at nite) Damn.. how stupid is that!!!


Next, Totally No girlfriends at all (Since
primary to secondary) Regret going to totally all Boyz school(Damn..). During form four try to pikat girls in tuition class unsuccessful because too nervous ~haiz~. No guts to talk to girls tat is all me back than.


Coming,next is (friends) the most precious of all for me! Most of the time Hanging around with my best buddies Jumbo and Tiang (pillar) . They are the
Twin Towers Of SFI ( aka Aaron and Gopi). They are also the tallest of all in the whole form.
Aaron is ( 6' 5 ft ) and Gopi (6'2 ft) and me in the middle ...(5'4 ft)~Haiz~wat the a disgrace to me.....


Test and difficulties in form five
~Haiz~bad timing, For me feng shui was not goo that year...(My greatest nightmare came true that freaking year{ Damn i hate 2006} the year My dad was diagnose with renal failure. It was a great challenge for me to live with that horrible truth, For me as a guy in family has to stay strong for him to fight this unfortunate disease. don't want to elaborate some more.... a bit emo already.This is the bad times and good times of me back in schooling days!

Tribute To H2O






The Facts And Figures





of





H2O most abundant molecule on Earth's surface, composing of about(
70% of the Earth's surface as liquid and solid state in addition to being found
in the atmosphere as a vapor).












H2O also usually makes up 55% to 78% of the human
body.








Standard potential of the water electrolysis cell
is 1.23 V at 25 °C.









Solid state of water is known as ice; the gaseous state
is known as water vapor (or steam).












H2O is in dynamic
equilibrium
between the liquid, gas and solid states at standard temperature and pressure (0°C,
100.000 kPa) , and is the only pure substance found naturally on Earth to be
so.












H2O will freeze at 0 °C (32 °F, 273 K), however, it can
be
supercooled in a fluid
state down to its
crystal homogeneous
nucleation
at almost 231 K (−42 °C).








H2O expands significantly as the temperature
increases. It is 4% less density than maximum as the temperature

approaches boiling.










H2O can be described as a polar liquid that dissociates disproportionately into the hydronium ion (H3O+(aq)) and an associated hydroxide ion (OH−(aq)).







H2O is miscible with many liquids, for example ethanol in all
proportions, forming a single homogeneous liquid. On the other hand water and
most
oils are immiscible
usually forming layers according to increasing density from the top.








H2O has a high surface
tension
caused by the strong cohesion between water
molecules.






H2O is also a good solvent due to its polarity. Substances that will mix
well and dissolve in water (e.g.
salts)






The specific enthalpy of fusion of H2O is 333.55 kJ kg−1 at 0 °C.




Water is our lifeline that bathes us and feeds us. In ancient cultures water represented the very essence of life. Water has played a role not only in the history of countries, but in religion, mythology, and art. Water in many religions cleanses the soul through holy water.Water is one of the weirdest compounds known to humans. The difference between the boiling point and freezing point of water is one of the largest ranges of any compound. It is this span of temperature that mirrors the range of where life can exist, from bacteria to humans.


This Facts and figure maybe complex (How water can give life to every single thing on earth is unimaginably crazy complex ?) Damn...

Taking Up A New Hobby



Becoming A Young Guitarist



An obsession on guitars has long been on me since I was in the Malacca Baha'i Community. In Malacca almost every one can play the guitar as though, it is like a must (a criteria of a Baha'i youth in Malacca).

Since I was young i was use to see the great youth (roll models) who are seriously good at wat they do (anything ex. singing, dancing, Teaching just name it ...they are good). Great youths like Uncle sori sori! brother Taraz, Milley Chong, Zena ,Benny Soon not forgetting the MMU guys like (Jason{ABM}, Ah Yen, Sing Yee and many more..totally admire you guys all. They are the inspiration of me to become upcoming youths to serve the faith in this very moment. I am going to take up the challenge to be like this guys..... Youth Rocks!

Happy To Meet Familiar Faces


Family Matters





Home Sweet Home! Happy to meet my parents after are along time (Damn it feels good...) My father is growing excessive gray hair which looks kinda cool.. and mom has a highway of white hairs duno why (looks kind of ugly) and chubby niece(Olivia) which is growing taller an inch by the minute.







My dad and My mom . (aka Appa and Mami). I called both of my parents appa and mami still is and forever will . Don't noe why i still called my mother mami. Since young calling Mami, can't help it its already( a habit....) Sien~~^








My Naturaly naughty niece and also unreasonably fat (chubby) girl.



The last time I saw my niece before i went for college , she was about 65 cm's (25.6 inches) and now after 4 long month's she is about 95.2 cm's (37.5 inches).

(Omg, she is just 3 1/2 years old)Wow, children do grow fast! I think it is due to the genetic trait because she has the blood of the african trait and the indian trait that's why! Not for me I am born moderately tall(indians and chinese are not that tall).


I "Love" Malaysian Transportation System




The Best of The Best In Skrewing Things up



Do you know that the government of Malaysia invested a big lump sum of money for the upgrade of the public transportation? I guest we all noe that! But I don't see any differences of it the in reality except for the huhu ahah the Rapid KL system. Other, than that it is all the same or even getting worst.



I was taking an express bus back home which really pist me off the hooks, (black and white in the ticket written 10.30 pm) the bus would be arrive in Seremban :- bus actually arrived 12.00pm :- reason the bas break down some were In Alor Gajah(Malacca). Not enough with that , the bus did not stop for pee all the way to Taiping !(Wat the F**k ). My bladder was initially like this went to ... almost halfway to ~~>


Ka Boom.



Thanks, it was the most exclusive and inspirational ride back home ever, the bus driver (for being such a Jackass for not considering the well fare of his passengers). Malaysia Boleh! (Keep Up the Crapy Work)..

Super Hilarious Movie


Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

Just what my one of my favourite animated movie the 'Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa' is out in cinemas. Yeah! this time the movie is even more funnier and some sentiments, but it is still completely funny. With the Penguins include doing crazy stuffs and also the tough grandma, I think this movie is going to be a hit! I usually don`t go to cinemas to watch movies (for me its just a waste of money). I watch movies online( better in the comfort of ur own room). Anyways here are the links, i hope you will enjoy it...

Taiping Here I Come!

Balik Kampung ...
At last, thank god i can balik kampung to my current hometown (Taiping Town). I was miss home since sem break started, missing my grandma's homecooked food, missing my naughty niece (Olivia) and finally loving my parents. It is almost 4 months I did't go back home since sem started (haiz..). Mom keep calling me to go back (i sense she must be missing me too).Sometimes i do think why not my home town is Malacca. Only two hours drive compared to taiping (6-7 hours) If not every weekend I will go back.. Most probably i will be finishing my Book 4 in Taiping itself under the tutor Mr.Ragu (my father). I don`t noe how the ruhi book going to be under him,I better be prepared one thing i noe its going to be interestingly boring. I'll be back after a month or so..Bye bye for now

Time To Change



BYEBYE! Bush & HELLO! Obama


As we know presidential election of the United States has decided Barack Hussein Obama to be the the first African American to be elected President of the United States. The current issues that Barrack Obama has to give his best interest to is the financial crisis and the growing unpredicted climate change.


For many years, the US has been considered a “climate sceptic” be- cause it opted out of the Kyoto Protocol, and moreover President George W. Bush for most of his two terms seemed to deny that climate change was even a problem.For many years, the US has been considered a “climate sceptic” be- cause it opted out of the Kyoto Protocol, and moreover President George W.

Malaysian Food






Eat to Live Or Live to Eat ?




In Malaysia, most people tend to( live to eat than eat to live). The reason behind it, I don`t noe maybe the food in Malaysia is too good (I guest)! Whatever it is , the foods in Malaysia is also known for its high cholesterol levels and highly sugary stuffs. Among the foods that are not so healthy in the Malaysian Society is the well known (Roti Canai) where it is taken most of the time in the morning. Roti cannai contains 60% oil (Ghee) and 40% flour which is totally not suitable to be eaten in the mornings, where it should be substituted with foods that are least in oil contents like thosai and chapati.



Not to forget,the teh tarik (A frothy combination of milk and steaming water poured rapidly from cup to cup ) is a must eating together with the Roti Canai. Most people neglect the sugar content of the teh tarik which is actually pretty sweet and also has cholesterol , for a cup ( axproximately 250 ml a cup) together with about 3-4 full teaspoon of F&N milk (Sweetened Condensed Milk) is quite disastrous for people from the age of 40 and above, which are more prone to diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a complex condition and in most cases need to make major adjustments to their lifestyle and diet.



Sometime don`t be fool by the ads and the milk label that prints their sweetening milk tins (free Cholesterol) its pure hoax.The truth is there is no such a tingy as `free cholesterol', all natural milks has cholesterol.Therefore, Teh tarik, in a reasonable amount, as well as the other foods I have mentioned is the way to avoid from diseases. Eating in moderation is the key of a healthy lifestyle.So,what are you! ( Live To eat or Eat To Live)?
