The Book Fest

It was as planned initially to go Sunway Pyramid for the Iron Man, but later on we decided to go KLCC so that we can attend to the Book Fest after the movie.

Iron Man is indeed a fancy suit :)

The Book Fest requires an entry wrist ticket at RM2, which I recalled the one I got from Genting Theme Park. The Book Fest took place at Hall 1~5 Convention Centre, which basically have Chinese and Malay/English sections separated.

Entry Ticket on Wrist

The point is, discounts are given for most of the books varies from 15% to 50% the max. I saw a lot of nice English books but at last decided not to buy them, but this one only Chinese book - guide to Quick Solving of a Rubik's Cube :))

Quick Solving a Rubik's Cube

Another thing to mention: I saw Gary the singer, and Ah-Hong the chef :D Gary was here to promote his coming concert, while Ah-Hong was here for his new book.

In between while I was sitting at the park for a break, a beautiful young girl approached and tend to get me contributing to her association. She is sweet enough and yet really good in speaking. I must say I always feel respect to them for every hard effort given. Here's the note she gave.

Passion Fruit Mango Yogurt Cake

The name itself is long enough for short tongue like mine to pronounce. Yet I have to admit, the cake is very outstanding and worth you to practice over and over again to pay for a respect to its high standard.

It is obviously a cake by looking at it, but it is so beautiful that I hardly believe it is edible when I failed to recall any similar cake seen in my previous days. A big plus to its interesting appearance.

It is rather creamy inside with layers of yogurt. It tasted soft, wet and sour just like cheese cake. A must try for those who loves yogurt.

[FW] Cancer Update from John Hopkins

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard

tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains,seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts)and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system(IP6, Flor-ssence,Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U S - PLEASE READ

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.

Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.

Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers.

This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

星光3 · 再见李伯恩

台湾的传奇节目《超级星光大道》第三季在摇滚小子李伯恩的离开背影下,出现了最终的星光3十强。

然而当天最闪耀的恐怕依然还是由百人初选开始就不断地让观众耳目一心的恩客。在这迈入十强的历史性时刻,其他参赛者的的家人有幸能一起分享这光荣的喜悦,然而这份喜悦却远不及恩客的父母兄弟给他的那一个拥抱。

恩客爸爸很满意地说,“这个决定是公平的”。因为这份宽宏的智慧、这把内心客观的尺,可以想象这家人确实不简单;也之所以这样才能调教出恩客这样出色正面的孩子。

他的淘汰没有让人感到很难过,反而大家都很肯定他未来在娱乐圈子里无可限量的前途。评审小玲姐那句“请跟我一起工作”,我想会反复地回响在恩客的支持群里。

节目最后的高潮伴随着我第二次的尖叫声出其不意地来了。“我喜欢一个人。”,恩客想在临走前向他心仪的对象公开表白。现场的气氛顿时凝结,时间像是停止了一样,在等待他要念出来的那个名字。

123

陶子吓了一跳,继而傻笑;她很期待。恩客一脸正经地说,“我希望她可以好好地比赛”。然后…

4756

就在一阵尖叫声中,划下了美丽的句点。

Misunderstanding

Never too late knowing that you've misunderstood something.

24052008101 24052008103 

If you can still recall the gifts I received from Elizabeth - No they aren't CHOCOLATE. These are called DATES - sweet edible fruit of the date palm with a single long woody seed.

I like those with peanuts :)

Saturday Dinner

Burger Ayam Special - RM3/=Burger Ayam SpecialI was once very addicted to KFC zinger burger; in fact I am still a fan of it. It might sound fun to mention, but I think my first burger ever in my life was taken in Singapore around 10 years old, at the Safari. Since then...

 

Wall's Sundae Chocolate - RM5.50

Icecream24052008107I can still recall how exciting we were every time Mary bought a big box of ice-cream home, when we were still little kids. The ice-cream must be equally divided among us, or else she claimed that we would definitely argue or even cry for it. Nowadays, no no to ice-cream; at least once in a blue moon.

Another Parcel

22052008095

It's a parcel from Elizabeth. She prepared it all the way from Dubai, during the precious shopping time she had after work. Thank you Elizabeth!

22052008094

Tatada! I can almost smell the air from Dubai after opening the box.

22052008098

I thought these are al-Quran at the very first peep. But no, it's my favourite, chocolate!

22052008096

A camel key-chain which will definitely make me think of Elizabeth every time I hold my keys!

22052008097

This is the candle which makes me fear no more on darkness! But I doubt if it can sustain for even 5 minutes. :D

22052008100

And lastly, a Dubai T-shirt. Yay!

冰糖葫芦

昨天看了成龙和李连杰的那部"The Forbidden Kingdom"之后,突然想吃冰糖葫芦。于是在The Curve那边买了3包草莓+1包小番茄共RM13,再买了一包砂糖RM1.50,回家后自己亲手制作冰糖葫芦。

1805200808618052008084 18052008085

首先把砂糖和水以2:1的比例下锅去煮。时间久了,砂糖会溶解变焦黄色,第一步骤就算完成了。

(注:糖在溶解的这个阶段温度很高,烹煮时必须选用木制的汤匙,也不要让手碰到糖浆。)

(注:糖稍微有了焦黄色后,根据不同的锅的材质,要自己拿捏火候。糖煮久就了会变焦,会致癌的那种焦。)

1705200808017052008081

接下来把火熄了后,把你要裹冰糖的材料倒进锅里让他们翻滚。然后迅速地把他们一粒一粒地放置到盘子里,让糖浆给固化。

(注:不要以为可以把剩余的糖浆好像淋汤一样全给他淋下去。固化的糖浆会硬得好像冰块一样很难清洗。而且基于健康的因素,千万不要好像吃饼干似地把糖块吃掉。)

17052008082

把完成品放到雪柜里面给他冰冻一下 ,口感会很不错,适合在热夏的天气享用 :)

The He-Cinderella

I was in the lift leaving to work at around 8 o'clock in the morning today. The lift stopped at level 6, then came in the family of 3 people, one young lady and her old parents; probably they are going out for breakfast. As soon as the door closed, the old man sounded shocked, looking at his feet and said, "Oh my god, I forgot to wear shoes!"

过了这么久

还活着。 世界变了很多。 我们走在后面了,思想上和体力上,都要给年轻人让路了。 酒喝不起来,饭也不怎么吃得下了。路也不能走太远,视觉也就眼前那一点距离。 回想起年轻时的岁月,那时的我们意气风发,总觉得世界在掌心里转动。夏日的午后,我们在酒吧畅谈理想,谈论着要如何攀爬如何荣耀。那时...
