Recently, father brought new furniture. We had a 'major' spring cleaning. Shifted some of my furniture and packed my room. Saw a lot of notes laying around. Suddenly thought of the song "from this moment". Kept all the things in a box. Looking at those things brought back some memories. Some sad and some are happy. But anyway, I still felt happy for her. Will always remember her as she left a deep foot-print in my life. Anyway, I am still grateful that I make the decision. Now both of us found our own happiness.
I was browsing the net and I came over a very useful site. Similar like a street directory call the gothere.sg. Let me basically summarize it pros

  • easy to nagivate
  • provide detail address of your location
  • give you bus directions
  • give you MRT directions
  • give you driving route directions
  • map very detail and easy to navigate
  • provides distance, time and cost
  • can siam ERP
For driver's route, it calculated total time, distance and give you the option to avoid ERP and highways. Even provides detailed written description on road to navigates.
For public transport like bus, it guide you on how to get to the bus stop on walking then instructs you to take which bus and alight at which bus stop. Somemore also provide you the cost of the bus fares

Map are easy to navigate with selected path to let you see what prominent places you had passed.

After streetdirectory.com had issues with the map, gothere.sg had became increasing popular. You may wanna try it out yourself to realise the ease for gothere.sg to be so simple to use. You will immediately feels the different judging from their homepage.

Beer is good for your health

Well, today I am going to discuss some of the mis-concept of beer and some of the health effects of beer drinking.

And I am going to stress that the myth of "beer belly" with beer drinking is false. Beer belly is scientifically proved, associate with over-eating and lack of excise. However the only link I found out between them is "binge drinking". But it can be understood because, if you are saying over limit of consumption cause beer belly. As over eating of bread can also cause obesity. I mean over eating of anything of course can put a few pounces of your body.
"Binge drinking" is described as consumption of 5 glasses of beer in a span of 1-3 hours.

DO YOU KNOW?

An average beer contains the following:

0 mg of cholesterol

0 g of fat

13 g of carbohydrate

135 g of calories

protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and vitamins B, B2, and B6

which means that it is fat-free and cholesterol-free.
wah, shocked by those calories? Don't be, because a same glass of apple juice gives you more calories than a glass of beer.



beer drinker has high-density lipoprotein or HDL, known as the 'good' cholesterol
First things first, peoples are always saying how fatty beer can be. Or saying that drinking beer cause beer belly. These ignorant guys were not to be blamed, because there were just too many speculation about these false facts around us. I was once also affected by these.
Beer is cholesterol free, but beer drinker have a high level of HDL in their blood. Since I already stated that they are good cholesterol which is a protective layer of blood fats.

moderated drinking of beer once in a while decelerate aging.

Beer was brewed from melted wheat which has high level of vitamin B.
Beer was brewed from melted wheat which contain high level of yeast and yeast contain high level of vitamin B. Beer actually contain, vitamin B, iron and amino acid. It is an energizing beverage and contains significant amount of different nutrients. Therefore it was often called "liquid bread" because of it same effects between the two. B6 in a beer drinkers blood which has been shown to decrease the level of - homocysteine which increase the chances of heart disease.

Beer withdraws uric stones "kidney stones"

Uric stones are organic undissolved particles stored in the bladder. Know as "stone" in layman terms. We don't want these abundance to consolidate as it will make urine extremely painful of us. See.. people say that beer can cause dehydration is because our kidney is stimulated by some properties of beer, increasing urine production, make us to go urine very often when drinking. These uric stones are often flushed out during the "strong current" when we urine.


Be very very caution there, all the above I mentioned is based on moderated consumption. Of course over drinking of beer give negative effects but it will not be discussed there. As, the post is written for health benefits of beer drinking. Okie all the information above is I written with cross referencing. Not I anyhow say one one. You can anyhow go and search for 'health effects of beer'. I never anyhow say okie.

So last question of the day, how you define moderate drinking. As moderately sound very vauge to most people. A 12 ounce of beer (330ml) everyday is considered healthy and recommended by a lot of doctor. Just keep to this limit will be fine. As a glass a day is healthier than a lot of beer at one shot from time to time.

Beer is something to enjoy, he says. Just don't feel guilty about indulging. "In moderation," Bamforth says, "it's part of a wholesome diet."



12 ounce of beer helps u loss weight
A little teaser for you.

Last day at Trend Micro

Today marks the end of my boring life at Trend Micro. But still I had to account for this one week that happened once in my life. I going to blog it...


First let me tell you my venue. 73 science park drive. "Cintech 1" building

Then let me show you my whole range of data base.
Very killer..

Since today my last day. We are damn slack. Shihao busy chatting away on his MSN. I can't because my computer is fucking facing the entrance. So very likely to be caught by people passing by. Good for my buddy because he had a partition blocking his computer against other's line of sight.

So so damn bored. I make use of my every little waiting time on the phone to draw something on the computer. No photo editor nothing so I decides to draw it on

Excel


This is really madness

But but but, one thing that I will miss is definitely the Naan for the Indian cusine. They are damn nice de lah. You have to tear it into pieces and drip drip in 32,465,791 types of sauces available for your pick. Or you can eat it like chinese po biah style where you roll all the stuff into the Naan aka the "Indian bread"



So happy today going to chiong Dolphin again tonight. Even only 2 of us we will also hiong hiong go down. Woot!!!

*updated*

woot... came back from Dolphin lah. Wah. it is so overwhelming with female waitresses. I damn in good luck sia. around 8 to 9 waitress serving. I got to sing with my fancy, forgot her name.. Shall show her picture :)



I simpily loves her... forgot her name.. she was very shy when singing... i gonna lead her to sing more with me next time.. maybe friday.. hohoho

Okie.. lets get ready to be impressed by Shihao.

A lot of waitress requested him to show them the way of "blowing fire"
Literally out of his mouth. So you are damn complacent liao lah..


screen shot


Okie okie.. claps for you damn it.. You took all the limelight liao loh...


See lah.. all the people looking at you like they never look before like that



ya la ya la... still not enough meh.. oh you don't want the people outside the Dolphin to miss that out also right?? YEAH.. but you can't suck the flame like how I suck them right.., Okie lah.. Next post I gonna show how I suck a lighter flame like no one ever sucked before like that..

Trend Micro - worry free


Trend Micro. What do you think they are?

Well, we are an internet security company majoring with anti virus software. Ever heard of PC-cillin? Or are you already using it now :)

I say 'we' because now I am one of these big family. Working for them as a part timer.

My job scope?

Ironically, I hate to work for them. They give us shit job. Making phone call to a thousands of companies randomly and invite them to our "Trend Micro exclusive channel briefing". That is a seminar to share marketing strategy and experience on making full profitable sales on our products. We had a huge data base to call, I highly suspect that they got the contact from people who sign up free service from Trend Micro. That's where they will get so many company name, contact person, phone number and stuff.


I saw their ad on their homepage. About this "worry free" programme. You earn an incentive when you sell their product. So I related that they will promote this programme during the seminar and we are the one who are tasked to call up these people to attend the seminar.

You know the problem now is what kind of reaction you will get when you handle these phone calls. Some of the company I see in the list are from not related fields, like stationary reseller, printer reseller and micro chip reseller. So when you ask them to listen to us talking on strategy to sell anti-virus software, they will get really pissed off. Then we had to listen to their music.

So for the whole 300 companies that I called last 2 days, I only manage to get 7 companies to sign up for the seminar. But doesn't mean that all 7 will attend.



I actually admire these marketing strategy that they use to promote their products, but it is difficult for us to bring across the message and it is really tough to be in our positions. Wouldn't be long for this assignment. Hope to end soon.
Thai PM today announced Bangkok in a state of emergency.

meaning:

-ban gathering of 5 or more peoples
-ban media reporting that might arise panic in the states
-allow closing of roads and deny vehicles usage when appropriate
-allow closing of building and evacuate of building when appropriate
-allow any person to be hold up to 30 days with courts approval

and considering that we are going for a trip to Bangkok on 22th Sept. If the situation remains like that, which I think very possible due to the very well organized of the protesters. Our trip would be postponed till next holiday.

If anytime we were to be there on study trip, we could easily be suspected as protesters and locked up to a maximum of 1 month. Or anytime, when we were doing our shopping, the building could be closed and evacuated, or while we were boarding our transports, we could be deny anytime. Media for reporting Singaporean causality may be banned also. Sibei dangerous lah.

Now that majority of Thailand airport had been forced close and electricity and water supply had been cut off in some major areas in Bangkok. Singapore tourism board had given warning not to go Bangkok unless with urgent matters.

Jida is now in Bangkok, we are worried for her safety there. Hope she can safe and we can get to see her in a month time.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME ALONE

but try it with a friend :)

Shihao and me, we were maybe damn bored!! we tried to take photo lying on the street. be reminded this ain't just normal street okie. It is a muthafarka major road outside boat quak okie!!!

It damn dangerous.. Only attempt with right amount of traffic, right timing and preferably sibei lot of Chivas.

Monday night at Dolphin sucked balls. Without Jida and Weiru. It was half as happening. Maybe lesser.. Okie finally finished our second bottle of Chivas, I think its time to stop patronising Dolphin already. Expensive hobby. Maybe should wait for them to come back.

I looking forward for my job and school result. I quite confident that I can maintain results. :)


The main com was speculating this awesome picture taken during the dodge ball matches. Walau, Shi Hao expression really LOL can. Then the hand gesture also like da "gui pei qi gong" like that. Haha so funny..
Yesterday, when out with Elis, XiangYun, Shihao and 3 year one students to go do a medical check up for OBS. They say we never make appointment so only 3 person can be screened. We let the year one go first. So a wasted trip all the way to AMK. (well, it least I got a complimentary coffee in the polyclinic) still not bad haha.
"toa pie kia" and "pie kia"

Like the design of the paper bag.

In the end, we accompany Elis and XY to go shopping in the AMK hub. We are so bored by the women lah, they basically can spend the whole day inside the shop. Bring so many clothes for testing -_-'''
So shihao and me go coffee bean there drink coffee and talk gossip lah. then later XY come join us for gossiping, and she corrected us that we are only exchanging information. Haha

Then hor, XY sibei onz de loh. She agreed to accompany us to go pubbing later in the night. Well know a few friends there and we 3 person had a hell lot of good times. Singing and dancing in the pub lah. Damn zai sia. Seriously I can't think of any more things to blog liao lah. Cannot entertain you all liao lah. Hai, hope all the picture from M&S can be uploaded asap.

We played very old school games like ji go bah. And shihao and zida improvised a new thai 5 - 10. It involved a certain tempo and its difficult to play lah. I keep losing to shihao they all lah.
"Sibei high"

The left hand side girl right, looks younger than her age lah. A lot younger and she told me that I looks like Shihao age and she don't believe I am a 83er. Wah first time sia. Happy
I was a bit confused with the pub's name. Dunno if its call 'wild' or is called 'dolphin'. Because they got display 2 different sign board one in front of the pub, another one just above the door. So confusing.

Mix and Splash 2008

Long posts with photos to upload....

Whao, finally came back from a 4 days 3 nights camp in school. My first camp that I organized okie. Overall, we learnt a lot from it seriously, although there were a lot rooms for improvement but considering the fact that all of us were first timer pardon us lah okie.

I know I know, you gonna saying, there were hell lots of waiting time, mis-communication within the comm people. No supper indented and stuffs. But don't forget all the laughers and friendship we acquired during the camp. Everyone is here to have fun including all the main comms so therefore we should manify those happy moment and not those unhappy one okie :)
Hey, the pre preparation for the camp is very siong de loh. Travel to Jurong West to buy all our stuff and rush back to do preparation. The girl went into the boys toilet to fill up the water bag for tmr events.

Elis and Benson did this dummy for the night walk


We did a lot a lot for the butter hill. We recce for places that were suitable for playing. IE: slope that are steep enough. But we found out there is a lot of potential hazards laying around. There is a place that is very suitable for butter hill but then there is a metal reinforcement bar sticking out of the grass. So Guo An and the guy all find ways to cover up the bar. So clever to make use of the soil around them to cover it up. HahaSo the 3-6pm game starts...........

All the wet and dirty games are very nice seriously. If I had to choose the best activities of the camp. These is no doubt the winner lah. Although you will get wet and dirty, but they are damn fun okie. Still got 100 second but NG.. And water bomb matches sia. ALl of us spent a lot of time to prepare okie. Really very very very long time to prepare lah. All material used is to best fit in the situation one. No qin cai use one loh.

This is the final output of the dummy. Look damn like the doll in "saw" movie lah

Due to some cock up. the night walk wasn't was well turned up as I expected. But I swear our first plan was really very scarely lah. The main com got dry run once and scare the hell out of them lah. But we change to this night walk instead because the month now is very dangerous to play the night walk we planned at first. TOo bad..

Gathering for the bus

Gathering at Siloso beach.

First game to determine which team to start first. ying hua won lah.. And I find that the first game was really very challenging and really good. You see all the year 1 start to open up and play really had like a team integrity. At these point I really wanna clear the cloud lah. When I use team integrity, people keep saying..

"why got link with integrity meh"

Actually got.

integrity
"the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished: to preserve the integrity of the empire. "
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=integrity

when i say say integrity mean i am refering to the completeness of something. mean doing everything and complete it together. A team without leaving anyone out of the picture. SO MY ENGLISH IS CORRECT OKIE.

And stop laughing at my "part and parcel of life" liao okie. My English is not bad the loh. Only seldom speak so sound funny only.




Wah all these are the pretty picture I took in Sentosa.. Really pretty lah

p/s: actually CHERVEL helped me to take these nice photo de lah..
it's CHERVEL....

One of the station, in the total of 13 stations.

Our roosted PRESIDENT.. So sad that will be the last event he is going to participant in the society liao. He is stepping down after this event. Guo An will be history liao. Now VP is taking over.. GG liao loh.


End of the sentosa amazing race. Falling in at the carpark waiting for the bus
Li Ping's grp really high sia, They do dances and Prillisia even do 6 steps and a freeze. She not bad what. Quite open and enthu leh. I initially thought she was not those enthu type one. As she told me before the camp that she wanna drop up the camp as she think it is very boring.. I persuded her to stay with us and I will give her a memorable camp. I really hope I really did that. Not sure about her. Got to ask her one day.. Maybe during thailand trip..

Ya. Prillisia very you yuan with me lah. Thailand trip go with me and even OBS also go with me. She ssid that she is sad that she is going to see me thrice this holiday.. Am I that turn off. I hope that she is joking only.
The year 1 got really bonded and high spirited during night performance. I am so great to see that they started to open up to the rest of the people including us. I really like the performance put up by them. Last time as a participant I didn't get so high also. This year all the 'freshie' are really on the ball. Keep it up..


Early on the 3 year, our communication improved. We manage to cut down all the waiting time. We go set up an hour early, to prevent any time wasted on the year 1 side. So all of them gets to the court after breakfast to have the final event on the telematches.

we had to move to gallery as the sky juice is falling down


So happy, that our last minute plan to play dodge ball was a sucess although, the weather played trick with us. We com stay up late in the night to think of the rule and plus testing out and stuff sia. I so scare that the year 1 will not enjoy themselves, heng ar....
