YOUR PHONE IS SOAKED..!! HOW TO SAVE IT ?

2009-12-19T20:03:00.000-08:00

Check this out !!.... Dont know if it works but definitely worth a try ya ...

What do you do when your cell phone falls in water ??

Whatever you do immediately take your phone battery out. the reason why our phones stop working after its in the water is because you try to turn it on again without letting it dry and the battery shorts the phone. Now u have to be patient this is the ONLY WAY. u have to put ur phone in a bag of rice..i know this sounds crazy but the rice sucks up all the moisture..leave it there for 2-3 days...WITHOUT turning the phone ON ..That is crucial. Then try to leave it on something warm like a tv...i did this and i turned my blackberry on and it works PERFECT. i swear it was even sitting in water for over 30 secs. GOOD LUCK..and whatever you do..DO NOT CHECK TO SEE IF IT WORKS...wait at least 2.5 full days. good luck ...

Lets go get Almonds !!

8 FAT fighting foods !!

Self Magazine, on Mon Nov 2, 2009 9:52am PST

Combat fat! Your allies in battling bulge? Foods that do the work for you. These edibles have proven lipid-melting powers that help you slim. That’s a win.

By Veronica Byrd

Almonds Almond joy!

Dieters who ate 3 ounces of these nuts every day reduced their weight and body-mass index by a solid 18 percent compared with an 11 percent drop in the no-nut group, a study in the International Journal of Obesity found. Almonds are high in alpha-linolenic acid, which can speed the metabolism of fats. Stick to 12 per serving.

Berries
Vitamin C–loaded fruit such as strawberries and raspberries can help you sizzle up to 30 percent more fat during exercise, suggests research from Arizona State University at Mesa. Blend a vinaigrette of 1 cup berries and ¼ cup balsamic vinegar.

Cinnamon
This spice could make your waistline nice. Sprinkling ¼ teaspoon on your food may prevent a postmeal insulin spike—this increase normally occurs after you eat and “signals the body that it should store fat rather than burn it,” explains Lauren Slayton, R.D., of New York City. Add a dash to your oatmeal, yogurt or coffee.

Mustard
Hello, yellow. The spice that gives mustard its color, turmeric, may slow the growth of fat tissues, a study in the journal Endocrinology notes. Eighty-six mayo in favor of any mustard; sprinkle turmeric on cauliflower and roast for a tangy side.

Oranges
Prevent pound creep with this citrus star: It contains fat-torching compounds called flavones. Women who ate the most flavones had a significantly lower increase in body fat over a 14-year period, a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition finds. Snack on slices or drink freshly squeezed OJ (with pulp!) for the biggest payback.

Soybeans
These green gems are rich in choline, a compound that blocks fat absorption and breaks down fatty deposits. Add ½ cup edamame to a salad.

Sweet potatoes
Trade up to sweet taters. They’re high in fiber, which means no drastic insulin jumps and thus less fat packed onto your hips. Bake a small sweet potato—think of two bars of soap as a portion size—and top with a dollop of lowfat or nonfat cottage cheese.

Swiss cheese
“Calcium-rich foods reduce fat-producing enzymes and increase fat breakdown,” says Michael B. Zemel, Ph.D., director of the Nutrition Institute at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Put toe to toe with some of its cheesy counterparts, Swiss is a heavy hitter in the calcium department; layer a slice on a lunchtime sandwich, or stack some on high-fiber crackers.

A Good Deed A Day

2009-11-09T18:38:00.000-08:00

Was driving on my way to work this morning and passed by an old lady walking along the road in our neighbourhood. It seem to be such a long route to reach out to the main road. It would be so pitiful to walk so far at her age i thought. And so i stopped and reversed to see if she wanted a lift.

"Terima kasih byk2 nak oi"...

"makcik nak g mane..."

"Bukan makcik ha.. Wan ha" ....

OOOoooopppssss...so i laughed...

She was on the way back to her kampung , dropped her at the nearest bus stop.

And she went looking so happy ....

A kick start to my day with a smile :)

Agence France-Presse - 5/12/2009 12:25 PM GMT
Malaysia urges citizens to defer travel to flu-hit spots
The Malaysian government Tuesday urged its citizens to defer travel to the US, Mexico, Canada, Spain and Britain following reported cases of swine flu in those countries.
In a statement released in English, the foreign ministry said: "The Government of Malaysia is emphasizing on extra precautions to be taken by all Malaysian travelers to these five destinations including to defer non-essential travels."
The ministry singled out the US states of Illinois, Wisconsin and California as places to be specifically avoided.
The statement comes as the World Health Organization's death toll from the A(H1N1) virus reached 56, with a total of 5,251 infections reported worldwide.

A Hard Day's Night (Lennon/McCartney)

It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight

Owww!

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok

When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alrightYou know I feel alright
You know I feel alright...

2009-03-03T05:14:00.000-08:00

Its 3/3/09 today and do u know its also known as Square Root Day !!!!!
ha ha aha ... cant imagine people these days have got really good ideas ya ! Coz three is the square root of nine ....and this day comes only nine times in a century !! wow !! hahaha !!!

According to the Square Root Day Group in Facebook and Wikipedia....
Square root day is a holiday celebrated by math fans on dates where the day and the month are both the square root of the last two digits in the current year. For example, the last square root day was February 2, 2004 (2/2/04), and the next square root day will be March 3, 2009 (3/3/09). The final square root day of the century will occur on September 9, 2081.

Full list of holidays
1/1/01
2/2/04
3/3/09
4/4/16
5/5/25
6/6/36
7/7/49
8/8/64
9/9/81
10/10/2100
11/11/2121
12/12/2144

One suggested way of celebrating the holiday is by eating square radishes, or other root vegetables cut into shapes with square cross sections.

hmmmm.... very interesting ya...

HAPPY SQUARE ROOT DAY !!! ha ha ha ha :)
