馬來西亞 神秘巨蛇 納布

在部落格之间溜走时，意外看见这个标题，身为大马公民，在这土地行走呼吸了24载，也在砂劳越待了要五年了，今天才知道，原来在砂劳越有个这么的一个当地传说，神秘巨蛇，纳布 (Nabau).

根据当地古老传说，当地曾经有种叫纳布的神秘巨蛇，长达30米，拥有龙状脑袋和7个鼻孔。最近，有洪水监控人员乘坐直飞机巡查婆罗洲勒河时，据称在空中拍摄到了一条正在河中游泳的30米巨蛇。

当然，这两张图引起一些在争执，争得无非就是这两张图的真实性，哈哈。不过就我看来，就合成的啦，照片很不自然呢。

当地居民却都坚称纳布是真的存在，因为两张照片都是在婆罗洲勒河不同地点拍到的，他们呢相信纳布回来了。

“本月初，古生物學家曾在哥倫比亞東北部發現了迄今已知最長巨蛇的化石，這種生活在5500萬年前的巨蛇身長在12.8米至13.7 米之間，相當于一輛公共汽車那麼長。這種巨蛇在恐龍滅絕後的1000萬年時間內曾稱雄南美洲熱帶叢林，並且是這一時期最大的陸地捕食者，它以捕食鱷魚和巨 龜為食，能一口吞下一頭母牛那麼大的動物。” 摘引《这里》

如果纳布是真实的，那么它可是比5500万年前的巨蛇至少还要长有一倍呢！

一条长达30米的巨蛇，光是想想就有毛骨悚然，更不用提到这蛇，是只有一条呢，还是两条呢，还是（数算中）。。。

相爱不到老

身边不乏一些令人感到惋惜的感情。
长达数载的感情，有时就是遗憾的以分手挂上句号。

是不是相爱的太早了呢？
十四五岁就发芽的爱情，
七八年后，青春正盛之时，
却发现，自己原本拥有的爱情，
正逐渐凋谢。

原本羡煞旁人的爱情，随着，
自己慢慢长大，
视野渐渐扩展，
悄悄的枯萎了。

爱情的全盛期，就是结婚最佳时机，
但是偏偏，过早开花的爱情，
在当事人刚踏出社会的那一刻开始，
早过了全盛期，慢慢的，
爱情，变成感情，
依赖，成了习惯。

最后，两个人达成协议，
和平分手，开始另一段爱情之旅。
不出两三年，却可以共成连理了。
因为时间，地点，人物，
天时地利人和，自然的就会步入人生第二阶段。

恋爱和婚姻不同，
恋爱需要爱情的养分，
婚姻不只需要爱情的养分，更需要感情的经营。

相爱能不能到老？
是真的需要一种缘分。

吳彤 羅憶詩 - 相愛不到老

September's Wedding

Last year, 4th of September, 2010, I was at JB with some of the Uni friends to attend a wedding ceremony.

This year, 4th of September, 2011, I was at Selangor, again, with some of the Uni friends, to attend another wedding ceremony.

We were at Selangor to witness the process where a boy turned into a man, to begin the second stage of his life. And he is Chiam Jia Wei, commonly known as Chiam among us who from Unimas. 

It was more than just a wedding ceremony to us who attended the wedding. We met Chiam's friends, all his groomsmen, and some of them were very nice to us. When we reached at Klang KTM train station on 3rd of September, two of Chiam's friends, Guo Sheng, and Zhi Xing came to pick us (me, waiyee, yilin and sweetnee) to the hotel. And due to that ride, the four of us got to know the two of them a little bit, compared to the rest of the groomsmen. Practically, they were our drivers, picking us from the station to hotel, then from hotel to Chiam's house. 

At the same night, we went to Chiam's house to join the family dinner fest before the wedding. There we met some of the members of the groomsmen, and there were supposed to be 9 of them, and 7 of them showed up. Surprisingly, 7 of the groomsmen were Chiam's friends since primary school. From the way they spoke to each others, we knew they were really close to each others. The other 2 were from Chiam's friends from Form 6. 

There was this guy, Steven, the leader of the groomsmen, he is incredible in human networking. He talked to us like we knew each other for a long time, but that was the first time we met. The first thing he said to me was, "I saw u before, from facebook", i was just smiling, and later i was seriously suspicious about that, haha. We were dying laughing when Chiam brought his colleague to our table, and Steven said, "Hi, it had been awhile, my name is Steven". We thought he knew Chiam colleague, even Chiam and his colleague himself wondered for a second, "if he/i knew him before". Turned out, that was their first met, but Steven is the kind of guy good with ice breaking, breaks the walls between two strangers instantly. But he also full with craps!!!

Go Go Go!!!

As u can see from the picture above, the theme for the groomsmen was t-shirt and short pant, with sport shoes. Actually, they were wearing t-shirt printed with ANGRY BIRD, ya, angry bird was their theme, kind of funny looking at them put the t-shirt on, hahaha. I will skipped all the games they deal with, for my own sake, in the future!

Chiam was busy with his wedding, and Steven took over the responsible of taking care of us. One thing he used to say the most when we were there, three days was, "No worry, I had perfectly arranged everything!". He knew we dont have any transport to follow the Grooms team to the bride's house on the second day, he immediately said we could drive his car, and follow the team at the back, and he wasnt just saying so, because i was driving his car following the team on the second day! 

Seriously, the four of us, were like the most precious guests, haha, like Steven said, he had arranged everything well and fine, and he was the one responsible of taking us during Chiam's wedding day, and day after that. 

During the dinner, I got to know another groomsman, Yong Tat, who is working as an associate relationship manager at RHB Premier Banking, investment, he told me, haha. We didnt talk during the morning and afternoon, but during that dinner, he was sitting just two seats next to me, and he was very quiet and alone if compared to rest of the groomsmen we met. As for me, the girls were talking to themselves, taking pictures, i was quiet and alone as well, so i made the first step, that's rare! Then he told me that he moved to Klang year 2000, and didnt really remain in touch with the geng, until one or two years ago. That's why we can feel a gap between him and the rest of the groomsmen, excludes Steven, he was close to Steven, compared to the rest, haha. But Steven closes to everyone, that's what he good with, haha.

Taking pictures become a must during any wedding dinner, that is what i found out all these years, haha. We stayed at the restaurant for almost an hour just to take pictures, chatting, after the dinner. Well, after the dinner, all of us will be going to our own position, and that might be the last chance to take pictures, chat in real person with these newly met friends for the four of us. But everything will come to an end eventually, when the curtain closes, we back to where we belong.

That wasnt just a wedding ceremony to us, but it was a new and old friends gathering, quoted from Waiyee, haha. 

Here by, I would like to thank the new friends who were being so kind to us when we were there for three days. Thank you.

And Chiam, happily ever after! And thanks for the invitation and u have a batch of good good friends!

She is Chiam second sister! But she does look alike!

Lake Toba, Medan, 30/5-2/6 2011

During the Chinese New Year break, I had a little gathering with some of my best friends during secondary school. We were classmates since Form 3, year 2001.Well, PuiSee and I were good friends back then, I barely talked to Melisa nor ZhiFang, not until Form 4. Funny thing was, we were classmates ever since, from Form 3 - 5, then another two years spent on Form 6.

And if u know math, this year is the our first 10 years anniversary. So we thought of planning and going some where, to have little trip, among ourselves. Sadly to tell, we never been to a single trip before, even we know each other for 10 years now. Initially, PuiSee suggested to go Beijing, China, she said we got to visit to the China Great Wall, one of the seven wonders in the world once in our lifetime. ZhiFang and I both are easy going people, as long as it is a school holidays, (ZhiFang is a primary teacher) and as for me, a bit shame to say that, I am still a student, so I have the time. That's made it down to Melisa, the busiest person among us. And she was fine with it, so we set our trip on June school break.

We made the decision instantly, and we decided to go by very coming June, so guess what, we couldnt get a cheap flight to Beijing. So the plan changed, from Beijing, to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, and u know what, we missed the promotion flight to Ho Chi Minh!!! Few days later, there was another promotion, and PuiSee and I decided to go to Medan, Indonesia. Seriously, I dont know there is a place called Medan until that day, haha. The other two were fine with the decision, as long as we able to get on the plane, and get ourselves out from Malaysia, haha.

I did some researches before going to Medan, well, I was forced to, because they let me in charge of the trip, planner! God I hate that so much. Need to come out with a budget control some more, that was a very hard time for me. And guess what was troubled me the most? I bought the wrong ticket from Kuching to KL, we were supposed to fly to Medan on morning of 30st May, but I bought the same day ticket, evening time, to fly from Kuching to KL. I am an idiot! That wasnt the worst, after knowing I purchased the wrong ticket, I checked with AirAsian again, luckily I was able to get RM25.00 ticket, excluded the taxes to KL on 25th of May, I thought I could go back home first then headed to KL later. And damn it, I forget I had a training to attend, from 22nd to 28th of May. Jezz, I felt like killing myself already, but what to do, I repurchased another ticket on 28th, night flight. Luckily I was still able to get a flight with RM 25.00, else...sigh

Medan isnt a very interesting location to me, but I found out there is one spot in Medan worth to travel to, the Lake Toba. I searched for the information, and Melisa also helped to send me some links. It isnt the place interested me, but the views, from the photos, wah, incredible nice!

I spent two nights at KL, then finally the four of us got on to the plane, started our first trip ever, woohoo....

Medan is actually only 1 hour distance from KL. Well, Medan airport, very much smaller compare to all the airports I had been to, but only restricted to local airport. haha. The first thing when we got out from the airport, wasnt taking pictures, but checking with the taxi service, we checked before, from Medan to Lake Toba, it takes 5 hours. So we dont want to waste the time, got ourselves a taxi, Toyota Avanza, costed us Rp 600k.

The traffic, a complete nightmare, trust me!

We stopped some where for our lunch. They served the lunch like a buffet style, but smaller and less variety. They served, and charged only those we ate. It was around Rp 50k. Well, if u like hot and spicy, then u gonna love the food in Medan.

We stopped and took few pictures before we reached the Parapat town to get a boat to the Samosir island which is surrounded by the Lake Toba. The weather was nice, bright sun but cold, because it is a highland i think. Once we approached the boat, always someone approached us to recommend himself as our tour guide, and we decided to go by our own, budget constraint. The boat fee is Rp 7k.

After around 1 hour spent on the boat, we finally reached the Samosir Island. There are a lot of cottages, and we booked a room with Samosir Cottage. We took the family room, 2 rooms, 2 king size begs, tv, fringe, bath room, no hot water because it was broken! Rp 350k per night. We chose Samosir Cottage because from the posts I read, people chose Samosir Island, but only for Malaysian. The rooms are big, but too bad the hot water supplier broken. It was so so so cold to take shower in cold water under such a weather.

After setting down all the luggage, we went for a walk, to see how's the people living there. But we were actually still in the tourist zone, so we saw lot of souvenir shops, restaurants, and cottages, but not many local people. By the way, the people living at Samosir Island is known as Batak, just like Iban and Bidayuh in Sarawak. So, the food in Lake Toba, non-halal. We were hungry, so we simply went into one small restaurant., Orari Restaurant. The food price around Rp 12k to Rp 20k per dish. 

Well, I forget what was the name of the food, but kind of obvious those were fried beehoon, fried noodles, then pork with homemade sauce, and the middle one, something like the pohpiah we used to eat in Malaysia.

Here stated the amount we spent for the first day, roughly, I lost the bill i kept, sweat

Taxi - 600k

Lunch - 52k

Boat - 28k (7k pp)

Cottage - 700k (2 nights)

Dinner - 70-80k

The next day, taking shower without hot water in the morning was miserable. We all knew that today we were going to ride on motor, and went around the island, so sun block was a must. I applied the sun block on my legs and arms, and thought applied on my face later after the breakfast. The cottage provided two set breakfast, either fried noodles or fried rice, but there were four of us, so we made extra order, egg waffle and bacon toast. I liked the egg waffle lots! haha.

We got real excited when we saw the motorbikes, couldnt wait to start the journey. Too excited, caused me left something I wished to do before, yupe, the sunblock!!!

On the very beginning of the journey, we were seriously excited, few minutes on the ride, then stopped for few minutes to take pictures, haha. 

When the sun was approaching the center of the sky, we started to worry, because, we even finished 1/3 of the journey!!! We stopped and asked the people around, when they showed us where we were on the map, seriously, we started to worry if we able to get back to the cottage before dark. Either turned back or went on. We decided to went on, and we started to speed! I doubted the motors were modified, because no matter how fast I went, it showed on 60km/h, which based on my experience, it should be 80km/h at least!

Even we wanna to speed up our journey, the road condition started to change, from a smooth blacktop to stone crushed road. God, we couldnt even speed to 40km/h. At that moment, I knew we were all not in a very good mood! And we actually passing by the villages on the island. I believe that is what we used to rural area. People here lives a simple life, though the kids kept saying "money, money, money", I believe they are all friendly and kind hearted.

After almost 2 hours speeding, we finally reached the town with the hot spring, which is located on the middle of the map. We were a bit relieved as we knew we might be able to get back to the cottage by time. Speaking of the hot spring, disappointed. The hot spring was created because of the volcano. And I rather call it a hot stream, but it is a stream. The people takes that as a business opportunity, they stored the hot spring in a little pool, and the visitors have to pay for the entry. There are three-five this kind of hot spring provided shops. We just rode through, and stopped to take the pictures, then be gone!

In the rest of the journey, we were still speeding up, because when we got into the town, it is blacktop road again, hoorey. We didnt stop for taking pictures anymore, but the one sitting behind, for instance, ZhiFang and PuiSee tried to capture the nice scene while we were speeding, haha. Stil lot of quality pictures taken.

It had been a long long day!!! We were so tired and body sore!! Too bad there was no massage service, haha. We went for dinner, and they said wanna tried the BBQ fish, so we ordered one. Honestly, it was just ok. The fish was however fresh, as we saw the owner caught one in front of us, haha. 

And yupe, we didnt take our lunch, I dont have the urge, because of the long riding, haha. We skipped our lunch, even though we could have our lunch when we were in the hot spring town. And of course, we didnt apply lot of sunblock, we were all burnt!!!

We had our own little activity during the nights. We watched the local drama, , got to say, not bad actually, but I found myself so hard to understand Bahasa Indonesia, and of course, no subtitle! And I brought manjong cards,  and we had small punishment for those who lost the game, beer!!! 2 nights, total, 3 bottle, and 4 cans. Crazy us.

Dinner - around 50-60k

Motor - unable to recall... But it was cheaper than the people offered me before I got on the boat. And we rented the motorbikes from the Samosir Cottage as well, they actually rented from the villagers, so the motorbike condition is quite not bad.

The third day, again started with the cold water, and we need to prepare ourselves to check out and got back to Medan town. While we were having our breakfast, another couple from Malaysia sat next to us, and seeing  4 of us seriously burnt asking if we were on ride yesterday, and the guy talked to us, he himself also burnt. We talked for awhile, then we got to say, the world is small, coz the guy also from Sitiawan, in fact, senior from our secondary school, the very senior of course, haha. He was on vocation with his couple, and they were the crazy one as they were going for another island riding, for proper visiting, salute! One thing he mentioned about us, he said when he saw the way we started the engine of the motor day before, then he knew this group of four surely anak kampung!!! Because we were very get used with the motor, haha. We almost missed the time of the boat, and when we were in hungry, we forgot to pay for the breakfast bill!!! I paid only when I returned the room key, the worker showed me the bill, that was embarrassing.  

We actually booked a van back to Medan through Samosir Cottage, and booked the hotel rooms at Medan as well. The hotel at Medan town is ok, but the driver, errmmm, no, unacceptable to me. He was splitting all way back from Parapat to Medan. And because he needed to split, so he let the windows open, and didnt turn on the air condition. At Parapat, it was ok because the weather was nice, and cold. But not all the way to Medan! Not to mention when the traffic got crowded, and lot of dust! However, one benefit of having the van service through Samosir Cottage is that the driver will bring you around to visit to another visiting venues. And of course, some of the venues required entrance fees, which they will charge us more because they need to pay the driver the fees of bringing people to visit these venues. And the driver we got, kind of asshole, he charged us quite a lot, but what to do? He told us if we wanna to go to visit the waterfall, which was supposed to be included in the service, according to the manager of the Samosir Cottage, we needs to pay another 100k\150k because it was a bit far from where we were at that moment. We managed to cut it to 80k, and just 1 or 2 minutes we made the deal, we were at the waterfall park. What the H***??!!

Backed to Medan town, we went to the shopping mall twice, the first night we stayed at Medan, and the second day, before we heading to the airport. The mall isnt any special, just that we prefer to find a place with air cond to have our dinner and lunch. I was very surprise when I saw the people smoking indoor! Due to that, the air cond, wasnt much help!!!

The first two food shown in the picture above were Baso, the local cuisine. It was just ok to us but PuiSee liked it alot, haha. 

Van - 600k

Rooms at Medan - 350k each (x2, the disadvantage of having the cottage to book the rooms for us because they actually forbid us to share the room, and they will fine us because they knew exact how many people we have! But save the troubles.)

Dinner - Roughly 100k (downtown, shopping mall some more)

At the airport, we bought, layer cake!!! But got to say, the cake really nice, should give it a try, wasnt too expensive, I forgot the price though, we paid in RM if i not mistaken. Our flight backed to Malaysia was delayed for almost an hour. That's so bored at the airport, especially when the airport was so so so small.

Thanks to the delay, me and ZhiFang unable to get the bus back to Sitiawan from the airport. Luckily PuiSee and her boyfriend dropped us at Puduraya bus station, and it was 10pm already, and we havent eat our dinner yet!!! We bought 10.30pm bus backed to Sitiawan, so unable to have dinner with PuiSee and her boyfriend. We said our goodbye with Melisa at the airport, to PuiSee at the bus station, and I said goodbye to ZhiFang when we reached Sitiawan by 2.30am!

How much did we spend? PuiSee only changed RM400, Melisa and ZhiFang RM500, and me RM600. Each of us able to remain some balances after all, if dont feel like buying souvenirs, then RM400 should be enough.Like what we did, we did not save much for the budget for accommodations, not a high class hotel of course, but at least everyone of us had our own single bed to sleep every night. If you able to find a way to sneak in the hotel, and shared a double room with four person, then definitely saved a certain amount.

Finally finishing this blog, wanna write it immediately after the trip, but I was unable to get the pictures, not even single one! Because I didnt use my camera, and my memory card is still with Melisa, because hers was full when we were riding around the island. This raya holiday break, PuiSee, ZhiFang and I gathered for lunch two days ago, and finally we have the complete set of the pictures as ZhiFang took the pictures from Melisa while Melisa backed to Sitiawan. 

That was a great trip, looking forward for the next trip, guess should be Beijing or Taiwan!!hahaha...

More pictures, my facebook account, only for friends though, haha. 

Sissel-Should It Matter

Accidentally found this song,

nice vocal, nice music,

sad lyric, though.

Sissel - Should It Matter

The video was made by taking the clip from Wuthering Heights,

I didnt know this movie before,

but guess, it was a very sad movie.

Should It Matter

I look at you

Please don't walk away

I see you're about to

There is just something I'd really like to say

So please don't walk away

I know that you're there

Still you pretend you're not

Yes I know it hurts

I have also felt the pain

So should it matter

What I do or what I've done

As long as in my heart

You're still the only one

I hear you say it

But I don't think you understand

I can be trusted now, I swear to you I can

It's been a year

a memory from my past

I know what I did wrong

I wish to change

Just to make it last

But I guess it's been too long

Easy to move on

To forget to about it all

Is that what you do, hoping I will be gone

So should it matter

What I do or what I've done

As long as in my heart

You're still the only one

I hear you say it

But I don't think you understand

I can be trusted now, I swear to you I can

If you got to know me again

Maybe then -- maybe then

We could see what what we should do

But that's all up to you

I'll be waiting for you

So should it matter

What I do or what I've done

As long as in my heart

You're still the only one

I hear you say it

But I don't think you understand

I can be trusted now, I swear to you I can

I hear you say it

But I don't think you understand

I can be trusted now, I swear to you I can

現代生活效率至上，要求人人分身有術。但這究竟是福還是禍？

不知道什么时候开始，专心成了我一个非常大的问题，现在的我，很难非常专注于手上的功夫，就好像以下的凯蒂一样，在短短的几分钟里，我搞不好弄了5样无相关的事情。到底，是福，还是祸呢？

---------------------------------------------------------------------

我十四歲的女兒凱蒂和時下青少年一樣，經常坐在沙發上，腿上擺着筆記型電腦，搜尋寫報告的資料，但同時間卻開着電視，偶爾還要瀏覽一下臉書 （Facebook）。她一面打字，一面聽iPod，不時將耳機拿開又戴上，好講行動電話。我和大多數父母都認為，這種做功課的方法完全錯誤。我們不禁要問：「耳邊這麼多聲音，怎麼思考？」做作業向來需要安靜的環境，不容絲毫令人分心的干擾。不 過，凱蒂和她的同儕認為，她們的行徑再正常不過。

今天許多專家都有個疑問：這種工作方式對腦部會有什麼影響？

每天需要面對大量資訊的不只有凱蒂這一代的年輕人。研究發現，在辦公室工作的人每三分鐘就會受到電話、電腦或同事的干擾。還有一些自詡為「馬路英雄」的駕 駛人，隨時都可以接聽行動電話。他們一邊開車、一邊講電話（違法），同時還收聽廣播。有些人覺得安靜和專注已成了世界上最稀有的珍寶。

這種看法並不是老頑固看不慣新玩意，而是有科學根據的。過去幾年，對於腦部的功能，和適應環境變化的能力有多大，科學界的理解起了革命性的轉變。

大腦真的可以改變嗎？

十多年前的教科書會說，人死時的腦部和剛出生的沒兩樣，而且無法產生新的腦細胞。現在這種觀念已有所修正。

認知訓練網站「銳腦」（SharpBrains）創辦人兼執行長阿法羅·佛南迪斯說：「高科技掃描顯示腦部不停在變化，舊細胞死了，新細胞隨時生成，並可隨腦部的工作連結出不同的新功能。」人賦予腦部的工作，確實可以改變其生理形態 。

專家對於腦部的了解，前年出現更大幅度的突破。研究發現，運用適當的軟體來訓練大腦，可擴充工作記憶。工作記憶相當於電腦的隨機存取記憶體，功能是儲存短期記憶和處理資訊，例如做心算或回想是否見過某個人。加強工作記憶，可顯著提高智商達十分之多。

倫敦黑色計程車司機是著名的例子，證明經常使用某種技巧可以改變大腦。腦部掃描發現他們的海馬迴（腦部專司記憶和空間定位的部分）比常人大，因為他們必須記憶數萬條街道。當然，大量應用衞星導航後，海馬迴可能會縮回原來的大小。

多工(Multi- Task) 有什麼影響？

專家對於多工的看法涇渭分明，自是意料中事。身兼記者與作家的瑪姬·傑克遜相信，我們周遭的媒體訊息、推特（Twitter）和全年無休的數位資訊，正逐漸把我們推向新的黑暗時期。她說：「多工號稱可以增進效率，其實非常沒效率，因為我們必須在多項工作之間來回往返，壓根兒無法集中注意力於單一事物上。」 更糟的是，這種工作方式使得創造力毫無用武之地。

因為多工無法專注於一件事，會不會導致注意力下降？托科爾·柯寧堡醫師是斯德哥爾摩卡羅林斯卡醫學院發展認知神經科學實驗室的主持人，他主張多工絕不會導致注意力下降。一位研究人員發現，工作記憶無法擴充，但他相信腦部能在必要時擴充容量以解決這個問題。「增加的資訊處理量不僅可能無害，還可能因高度使用 工作記憶而提升認知能力。」

事情总是有正负，黑白两面，也许有些中间地带，但是，如何拿捏，真的就看个人修为了。天堂和地狱，只有一线之隔。

闷热天气健康饮食的十大原则！

最近的天气，就只有两个字可以形容，炎热！！非常的闷热！！而且，古晋最近也都烟雾蒙蒙，烟霾的季节啊。虽然说最近傍晚都会突然的来一场雷阵雨，雨势也颇大。雨后的夜晚，也较没那么的酷热，不像前几天，那炎热，简直就是不让人睡觉！！

天气炎热之时，人特别容易的生病，尤其是我，我是个怕热的人，与汗无关，虽然我非常会流汗，但是我想这应该不是我怕热的原因。我是个热底的人，一旦曝露在艳阳下久一点点，我马上就会中暑，屡试不败啊！

刚刚看了一篇文，有关闷热天气健康饮食的十大原则！我就copy and paste上来，哈哈。最近update的有点频繁啊，哈哈。

-----------------闷热天气健康饮食的十大原则！---------------------

一. 多吃富含维生素和矿物质的食物。

夏季天气炎热，我们的身体经常出汗，随汗液流失流失的营养素很多，比如维生素B1、维生素B2、维生素C、钾、钠、钙、镁、铜、铁等。

维生素B1不足，就会引起食欲不振、消化不良、精神不振、供能不足、困乏无力的症状，富含维生素B1食物有小麦胚芽、黄豆、玉米、全麦面粉、小米、绿豆、红小豆、猪肉等；

维生素B2流失过多，身体就会出现蛋白质、碳水化合物、脂肪不能及时转换成人体所需的能量，造成能量跟不上，人就会没有体力，那么血液很难营养素运送到身体各各部位，影响正常的工作、学习，富含维生素B2的食物有瘦肉、鲜奶、酸奶、奶酪等。

维生素B3不足，就会引起新陈代谢异常、焦虑、不按、易怒、烦躁，要补充维生素B3要适当吃些青鱼、旗鱼、鸡肉、牛奶等食物；

维生素C缺失，就会增加我们身体的精神压力，也有人说维生素C是抗压力的维生素，另外可以提高我们身体的抗病能力，对于预防夏季的一些常见疾病也是有帮助的，富含维生素C的食物有猕猴桃、鲜枣、橙子、柑橘、桃、苦瓜、黄瓜、芹菜、油菜、空心菜、菠菜等；

钾缺失就会引起高血压，头晕、无力、贫乏的症状，富含钾的食物有黄豆、土豆、香蕉、菠菜等，钠的缺乏会加重身体缺水，造成水和电解质、酸碱不平衡，各种蔬菜中含的很多，只要夏季经常吃蔬菜的话，是不会缺失钠的，其它的矿物质在各类食物中都有，只要饮食正常就能够及时补充上的。

这点，有点难度哦

二. 开餐前喝点水、粥、汤、羹。

饭前半个小时喝点稀的汤、水，有利于消化液分泌、润滑我们的食道，防止一时饥饿，狼吞虎咽的吃饭，就会加快就餐速度，造成过饱及消化不良的现象。

水就没有问题，但是粥？？！！

三. 应少量多次补充水分。

夏天出汗较多，水分流失是很大的，每天至少1500毫升的水分补充一定不能缺少，不要等到渴了再喝水，应该随身带瓶凉白开、矿泉水、纯净水等，少喝含糖的饮料，比如果汁饮料、果味饮料、碳酸饮料等，既不解渴，也会由于喝的过多，造成能量过剩，食欲变差，其它的营养素会补充不上的。

这简单

四. 饮食宜清淡爽口。

不要吃一些过于油腻、味重的食物，由于夏季身体里的血液主要集中于体表，用于调节身体温度，而消化系统中的血液很少，消化功能很弱，油腻、味重的食物进入消化系统，就需要很长的时间才能处理完，少油、少盐的清淡、爽口食物是首选。

在这时间点，这地方，食物不是我们可以选择的

五. 每天早餐不可缺。

经过一晚上休息，身体各类功能都很弱，营养素必须要补充上，早晨温度低，有利于激起人们的食欲，做一些稀软、好消化、营养丰富的早餐，以便补充漫长时间里没有进食的各类系统中的营养，对于上午的工作、学习也有很好的促进作用。早餐的食物最好包含奶、蛋、豆、蔬菜、水果、粮食为好。

早餐是一定要的，但是，只有饼干，咖啡或美露，没有很丰富健康啊。。。

六. 适当增酸加辣，以促进食欲。

酸和辣都属于典型的开胃食物，可帮助消化、增加食欲、防止高温、高湿状态常见的消化液分泌减少、胃肠蠕动减弱现象，辣是很少的开胃品，醋既能生津开胃、又能杀灭病菌、预防胃肠道疾病。

天气热食欲也许会较淡，但是，对我好像没有这问题呢，哈哈哈

七. 少吃刺激性的食物。

夏季如果吃冰镇、麻辣、味咸的食物，容易造成胃肠道不适，给身体造成消化功能下降，痔疮、痢疾、高血压的病症也会相继发生。

恩，原来如此。。。

八. 合理设计每天的食谱。

这个季节应季蔬菜很多，每天各类品质都要涉及到，当然鸡、鱼肉、蛋、奶、粮食也是不能缺的，夏季很多人饿了就吃瓜果、蔬菜沙拉，动物性食物、粮食的摄入量很少，这种饮食是不对的，长时间吃的话，就会形成营养不良、抵抗力下降、贫血，甚至到了秋季，各种疾病就会暴露出来。每天不同的食物，能给人一种新鲜感，提高人体对事物吸引提高食欲。

开玩笑，现在的我们，那有可能呢？ 有的吃，就偷笑了。。。

九. 新鲜卫生的食物是关键。

因为夏季天气炎热，各种病菌繁殖非常之快，所以各种食物在食用之前一定要选择新鲜、没有变质、受到污染的，瓜果蔬菜吃多少买多少，尽可能减少在冰箱储存，尤其能生吃水果、蔬菜，一定洗干净，加工过程中不能受到交叉污染，以防染上大肠杆菌、出血性弧菌等，造成腹泻、拉肚子、痢疾的情况。

这就得看经营饮食的商家的良心了，我们，真的不能多做什么。。。

十. 就餐环境要舒适。

温馨、优雅、卫生、温度适宜的就餐环境能给人营造一点愉悦的心情，利于慢慢品味食物的滋味、利于提高人们的食欲，利于消化液分泌，让人吃的很舒服。

哈哈哈哈，还好啦，最起码是坐在冷气地下吃饭，心情是会愉快点的。。。 

------------------------------完结----------------------------

唉，十大原则，我勉勉强强才能达到四个。不过也无能为力，毕竟不如在家里，三餐可以自己准备，只身在外的我们，靠得，就是饮食小贩们。我们的健康，还得看他们是否对得起自己的良心，不做个无良商官呢。。。

6个动作 改善你的睡眠

睡眠的重要性，其实不要细说，大家都能了解到。但是有时候，就是会有睡不着，睡不好的经验，有些人，还有睡眠问题，就是睡眠成了一件难事。我这个人，睡眠还不算有太大的问题。只是睡前习惯性的想东想西的，做做晚上的白日梦，然后就会自己慢慢的，失去知觉，睡着了，哈哈。不过有时候，不知道是不是想太多了，迟迟都睡不着的经验不是没有的，囧。

看到这篇文，就决定放上来，大家看看吧，多多改善自己的睡眠，睡觉时间，是多么的可爱啊，哈哈。

 ----------------------------------------------------

睡不好很多都市人面临的问题,但吃安眠药毕竟不是长久办法，不如学学日本的福寿操。这种由日本琉球大学和日本国立精神神经中心共同设计的简单体操，结合了腹式呼吸和身体伸展，对改善睡眠很有帮助…

十個指頭看血氣

其實保持十個指頭乾乾淨淨，我們便可以隨時随地觀察自己的健康狀況！

不要小看這些細細的指頭，原來指甲內滿佈血管及神經線，亦是各大陰經陽經的交匯處；指甲表面偏下位置常會出現一個乳白色的半月形，一般稱之為「半月痕」、「小太陽」、「健康環」或「健康圈」等等，從中醫角度來說，這些半月痕的數量、大小、顏色及狀態，正好反映我們的精氣是否充沛！

上圖所示的十個小指頭乃最佳示範：有紅色小箭嘴標示的六個指頭，你可以明顯看到各有一個半月痕，雙手無名指上的半月痕也不弱！這一切說明主人翁血氣充足、體力强壯。不妨依照下列各點，自我審視一下！

1. 半月痕的數量：基本上十個指頭當中，六至八個指頭帶有半月痕已經相當不錯！半月痕大多先從拇指長出，之後依次為食指、中指、無名指，最後才到尾指。一般來說，半月痕較少出現於尾指，如果有，那人的血氣確實走得不錯！

2. 半月痕的大小：理想的狀態是佔指甲面積約四分之一至五分之一的大小。

3. 半月痕的顏色：以乳白色最好，有些半月痕呈灰白或粉紅色，代表血氣不暢、消化力弱、五臟六腑功能下降；另有些是暗紫色的，反映氣血淤滯、血液粘稠度較高、血液循環慢；特別要注意當然是半月痕呈黑色，可能是重金屬中毒或體內有腫瘤！

4. 半月痕的狀態：半月痕的邊界一定要清晰明顯，與指甲其他部份的顏色對比度高，才是理想指標。基於左手代表先天、右手代表後天的關係，一般人左手的半月痕數量較多、色澤較好也不足為奇。

整體來說，半月痕的數量越少、面積越少，代表身體越是虛寒、精氣神不足，容易出現手足冰冷、面色蒼白、經痛、疲憊乏力的情況；有些人甚至十個指頭都沒有一個半月痕，這不是說他們一定大病纏身，只可說他們早已元氣大傷，陽氣薄弱，應該趕緊調理身體，否則常受傷風感冒此等小病困擾；我發現這種情況最常見於較年輕的女孩子身上，她們幾乎每個月總會患上一次感冒，每次也多在行經期間，因這是我們體質最弱的時候，要强撐也撐不住。

半月痕的數量應該愈多愈好，但原來面積又不能太大，否則就是陽氣過盛，造成陰虛缺水，五臟六腑極度亢奮，容易煩燥發怒、口乾便秘，較容易患上高血壓、心肌肥大等心血管問題！

你這樣看了大半天，該是愈看愈煩厭吧！區區十個指頭，那來這麼多大道理？

其實，理論歸理論，半月痕只不過是一個方便我們觀察身體現況的小訊號，並不是絕對的病理判斷，我們是有能力改善個人體質的，體質改變了，半月痕也隨之起變化！例如我們體質虛寒，便該少吃寒凉生冷食物、多作身體按摩以通經絡、多以熱水泡腳或赤腳行以加速血液循環、每星期儘量爭取最少一次午睡及一次晚上十時半前入睡，以助肝臟造血、有空便喝點紅棗水或豬潤水等等！

要有效果，必須持之以恆，時日一久，你會發現自己那些半月痕的數量逐漸增加，沒有騙你，這是我的個人經驗，但一定要有耐性和堅持，稍一鬆懈，又打回原形！氣綏？不可氣綏！旣然還有機會自我完善就不該氣綏、活著就更不該氣綏！

除了半月痕外，指甲表面的狀態也可以透視我們的血氣是否充沛，你看下圖的兩隻大拇指，各有一條黃色的虛線，不同的地方是：一條仿如拱橋、另一條卻剛好凹了下去，那人血氣好一點，不言而喻！

仔细的看了自己的手指头，无名指的半月痕，若隐若现地，尾指则完全没了，但是拇指，食指和中指的半月痕还不错，而且指甲表面也宛如拱桥，十指手指都如拱桥哦，哈哈哈，骄傲的很咧！！！

Kuching Food Fest 2011

Again, the once a year event, Kuching Food Fest arrived! What pop out in to ur mind first when someone mentioned about Kuching Food Fest? Lot of foods? or lot of people?? Trust me, my first thought went for the latter one, lot of people, lot of cars, and then less tables and super warm, then only i think of, oh ya, lot of food also, haha.

But u have to attend such an event no matter what right? Once a year, cincai lah.

This year, the Kuching Food Fest started from 30/7 until 22/8, and it happens to be our Malay Friends fasting month, but no contradict anyway, people tends to go food fest during evening time and it is almost or pass Buka Puasa hour.

Me, together with some kaki, went there last night, and it was the third night of the event. We thought if we go on weekdays, then should be less crowd, but it turned out, we were wrong, it was still so crowded last night. The moment i walked in the area, i told my friends that i felt the warm immediately, and few minutes later, i started perspiring.

However, lucky us, we found our seat after few minutes we walked in the area, well, technically, we shared the table with two strangers, a mother with her daughter. Then we splitted to buy our dinner, i was starving!!!

One funny thing about the food fest, it seems like there are so many options, but u have no idea of what to eat. Well, i dono about u, but i know i was, i was like lossing my way in the jungle, dono where to turn, where to go... Actually i planned what to eat before i came, and i decided to stick with my original plan, together with me, was SiangTing, and she was having the same issue also, dono what to buy, haha.

Finally, I went to buy the rice roll, which i planned before i came. I tried that last year, and it wasnt too nice actually, but i felt like trying it again. It turned out, it tasted better, and the size got smaller, well, i wasnt sure if i went to the same stall as last year. I bought the Ham Rice Roll, sorry, no picture, hahaha. But i googled for the picture. Another nice thing about the rice roll is u can still feel the heat.

Then i bought a Pork Chop Burger, which occurred to my eyes when i first stepped myself into the food fest. It basically just a pork chop between two burger breads. The pork chop tasted not bad, but not the breads and it kind of cold already.

Lastly, i bought the deep-fried twisted dough stick, dono what it is?

Ya, 油条, i dono it has such a long english name leh...hahahah...until i googled it, ahhahaha. Well, the pictures werent from my phone cam, i googled it, and if i not mistaken, i bought from this stall actually, they have a blog, not bad. I bought two, one with peanut butter, no picture found, and another one with mayonnaise. However, i was abit dissapointed, because they were cold, but still crispy, just wish they would have gave me the new fried and hot sticks!!!

That was more than enough actually, haha. When me and siangting backed to our table, waiyee already backed to the place, eating her pork burger, exactly the same as siangting bought, haha. SookKuan and SooFong finally went to hunt for their food. The strangers that spared us the table turned out to be very talkactive, in a good way i mean, haha. We chatted, non-stop, well, basically i was just answering to the mother and listened to her. I wasnt very good in chatting with stranger after all, haha. 

Waiyee bought chicken chops, and also an appetiser, mango salad something like that, and both hot and spicy, haha. The chicken chops, you can feel the curry powder when u bite, and the mango salad, u would chock on it if u eat too fast, haha. We shared the food actually, and sookkuan and soofong came back when we almost finished the food, and they bought quite a lot as well. They bought the Mango Fish, which is two fried fish chips with mango slices. I would not recommend for the Mango Fish because the fish chips tasted nothing but flour, flour and flour. They bought the twisted stick as well, with kaya.

They also bought 龙须糖, and there was one dish, i dono how to call it, it was a combination with rice and mango fruit, sook kuan said it is Mango Rice, haha.

Siangting also bought a traditional chinese kuih, i dono how to pronounce the name, hahaha.Got to say my mandarin getting worst each day, and so do other languages, headache.

Forget another nice one, the durian puff. The durian paste tasted very nice, but not the puff, haha. However, it is so expensive, RM2.80 per piece, but RM5.5 for two, what's the point??

We talked, and the memory brought us back when we were first came to Kuching back in year 2006. Sook kuan and I together with other 8 friends, whom were then turned out become the Ten-Brothers group in our faculty, we walked to Kuching Food Fest from the Crown Plaza, dono where is Crown Plaza, then u should know Parkson at down town Kuching, near the Sarawak Plaza. Ya, we walked from Crown Plaza to the Kuching Food Fest location. It did sound like a bit crazy, and we were lead by two local kuching girls, Ms AnnChee Wong, and Ms MeiHui Chang!!!! They told us it wasnt far away, ya, it wasnt, if we go by car!!! hahaha. However, it was fun, we walked, talked, and even took the picture with the big white cat!!!! The crazy TEN!!! haha...I actually appreciate the walk, even though it sounds crazy, but we have to do something crazy when we were young and capable to!!! haha.

Speaking of crazy, that wasnt the only craziest thing we done. There was one time we walked from the same location, the Crown Plaza to the HockLee centre, which is even further than the Kuching Food Fair location. And again, that time, we were lead by a local kuching citizen, our senior, Mr ShihMin Tian!!! He told us it was near, and Ms AnnChee and Ms MeiHui agreed!!! Turned out, it is even further!!! Why Hocklee center? Because i wanted to go to the HP Center, which is near to the Crown Square, and we made a mistake, taking Crown Plaze == Crown Square, damn!!! But what to do, we walked!

And if u think that was the end of our conversation last night, u were wrong!!! Waiyee wasnt with us with the two crazy walking, but her memory came back to haunt her as well. I wasnt too sure about the exact time, but i would never forget that day too. We were supposed to pick Mr KianKok Cheung from airport, but we went to BDC everise for shopping since we went out from Unimas earlier. And i remembered what we bought, precisely i remembered some of the things we bought. A friend bought a 5kg pack of rice, and some bought the brooms, toilet papers. If we took a van to the airport from the everise building, it wanst an issue at all, but the thing was, we had no transport at that time. We took a van from Unimas to BDC, then we told the uncle came to airport to pick us while we were stopped and shopping at BDC everise!!! We could have asked the uncle to pick us and send us to the airport after we done shopping, but we didnt, because, once again, our lovely senior, Mr ShihMin told us it is a short distance to go airport from the everise!!! Gosh!!! A short distance??!!! We were young and naive that time, hahahahaha, and we wasnt know Kuching well that time, so we trusted him!!! If we walked with empty hands, then ok lah, but we werent. We bought quite a lot of things, imagine my friend bought a 5kg pack of rice, she needed to carry all the way to the airport!! God help US!!!!

And when we reached airport, some of us put the stuffs at the carts. The epic moment finally came, because me and waiyee were at the back, so we heard someone said, "see, someone bought brooms eh!", they thought my friends going to bring the brooms to somewhere, since we were at the airport!!! OMG!!!

I couldnt stop laughing last night when we talked about that, it was definitely one of the crazies thing that i had done so far. But it was something that u would never forget, hahahaha.

It was no longer just a Kuching Food Fest to me, it is a memory flashback moment. Got to admit, I am about the age of doing those 想当年 le...
