THE SPEECH!
"we should have invited more people to come........ ya...I should have too.."
I was invited to share on a topic called 'Why people need food supplements?"
They were all there to welcome me with enthusiasm and joy. Of course, they were glad to see me. Most of them are familiar faces though some are new. They were also discussing about the next meeting and arranging for another topic. ‘Health topics or motivation?’ Since they all knew that I would be going to Rome, they would also like me to contribute a motivation. ‘Let’s make it on the next Sunday evening…. ‘ I told them that I would be at my hometown celebrating my mum’s birthday, but I would manage to be there on time, after all my return journey only will take me a hour’s drive.
well, all of you will not miss out the sharing because I will be writing again. ok, there.............want to know what I told them that night?
"I have 3 joys tonight that I would like to mention before I start. I know that some of them were thinking that I would be going to Rome and that was why I was so happy! No, that is not my joy for tonight. They were anxious to know……. Aha… all were very attentive! Eager to know why I was telling them my 3 joys!"
My first joy tonight is to see all of you here are healthy and fit! They nodded their heads in agreement. My second joy tonight is for all of you….. that all of you here are aware of the importance of health and that all of you are willing to learn. They are many people out there who need our help, but sad to say, some people refuse to be helped! It all starts from oneself. Be equipped with the appropriate knowledge of health first. Only then you can influence your family and gradually to your friends and relatives. And my third joy for tonight is that I am pleased to see such a nice center with a positive environment. I salute their leaders for being independent, for their teamwork and the efforts put into directly or indirectly. That is what I wish so much to see.
Why do one needs to take food supplements? 8 reasons to discuss why. The first reason I emphasized was
[1] How the quality of air and water is deteriorating and affecting our health. Pollution is getting more serious. Sound pollution, land pollution, mind pollution and so forth…….I told them about rippling clear and clean waters… I told them about sweet singing songs of lovebirds……I remind them of natural clean fresh air…………,far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I emphasized on how we long for such a place…. But where are we living????? I told them about how an x-rayed lung from a guy living in the city is spotted with black ugly dots…and how a guy from a village looks like……….
I continued to tell them about ‘feng sui’ ‘feng’ refers to moving air, ‘sui’ is water. If the place we are living is lacking of good ‘feng sui’, how can one rate ourselves to be of good fortune? How are we going to rate ourselves to be of good health? Or ‘hao ming’ that you are so healthy! The air should be of good quality, the water should be free of pollutants and chemicals, and the environment, free from unwanted noise. That is my dream place….. a quiet, relaxing, clean and green and at the same time free from stress.
Where is that ‘wonder’ place? Are we living in such a place?
what to do then? We know that we should take antioxidants to fight those unavoidable 'stress' I continued to share and emphasized on the wonders of antioxidants.. how it helps and works... on natural foods that contains antioxidants...
Another question.. are we eating them daily? Are these foods grown on safe grounds? If not, where are we supposed to obtain those good things? well, the answer is from food supplements!
refer to http://www.vegetarian-nutrition.info
Antioxidants have been proven to work well to combat free radicals that damage and created havao on our health. This is not a new topic anymore. You either take the fresh ones or buy those supplements... this is an urgent need. it is also my advice before it is too late! Choose a supplier that is reliable and one that can be trusted.
refer to http://www.nutrilite.com/
Nutrilites is considered to be one of the best since it emphasizes on BEST OF NATURE, BEST OF TECHNOLOGY & BEST OF PEOPLE. I personally have visited Nutrilite farms twice and I am not the type who is easily lead by the nose. I have seen and investigated how it all works. And I was amazed and satisfied by what I have seen. Don't forget, our most loved ones are eating them, not to say ourselves... As I always say.... 'MONEY IS IN YOUR POCKET, YOU ARE FREE TO BUY ANYTHING! BUT WHY BUY 'SICKNESS'? WHY BUY 'TROUBLES'? we have been taking Nutrilites for about 2 decades!
Ha.. I used to joke with my distributors... "Do you believe me? Do you believe what I said? Let's make a deal. I buy 2 tickets AND let's go travelling...to see the Nutrilite farm. If whatever you see is what I have exactly told you is true, then you pay for all the expenses. If whatever you see is not what I have told you, then I pay for all the expenses incurred! Fair, isn't it? So, I speak my experience and what I have seen with my own eyes! That's my personality!
the speech was about one and a half hours... I really should ask someone to take some photos on that night.. now I am really in need of a digital camera..well, bear with me... soon..soon..

Sprouts are 'superior' foods....
Many people thought that abalone, birds' nests, shark fins, lobsters, rare fresh water fish and sea cucumbers are superior foods where only the rich can eat. What do you think? Are these foods high in nutritional values or is it because of its rarity that makes them priceless?
No doubt these foods are delicacies and tastes great. No doubt they pamper our taste-buds and when eaten in golden plates and polished silver spoons, one will feel the difference. One always feel that they are in style and in class and belongs to the rich and famous especially when they dine and wine in respectful, grand and luxurious restaurants.
What about the poor? Let's trace back to the ancient days when all of us didn't wear enough..... haha, don't get me wrong... when our ancestors wore animal clothings and ate fruits, nuts, seeds, leaves and berries they collected in the wild. They hunt and fish and most of the time, they ate raw. Well, there isn't class or no class. Are they not healthier?
Talking about pampering our taste-buds, now we have additives, preservatives, colorings and artificial flavorings to boost our appetite! And the competitive and creative cookings and servings that suits our 'modern' taste and modern man are advertised everywhere and everyday!! Nobody would like to look at those natural healthy foods that we ought to eat! Ugh.. no taste... poor looks, not appetizing! Of course, it is when compared to those enhanced and processed foods!
I don't know whether you feel or understand the importance of eating healthy or smart! But there is one thing that I ought to share with you all....... Never be cheated by it's looks! It is what is inside which is more important! It is what it contains that is of value........... We eat to survive, not survive to eat! Right?
Never ever underestimate the power of consuming sprouts. Sprouts from beans, seeds and vegetables. Can you imagine the miracles that comes forth from a small seed? Can one imagine the power of growth, from a seedling to a huge tree? Do you know that a seed left dormant for a period of time can still grow when it meets favourable conditions? Think twice.... how a tiny seed resourcefully combines the universal forces and absorb energy from and within this earth and grows in splendor with Mother Nature.
And best of all, sprouts of all types of beans and seeds contain and provide varied nutrients, phyto-chemicals and enzymes. And they are definitely suitable for human consumption! One should never ignore this fact, an amazingly fact that sprouts are exceptional good health foods that all of us should never miss! Just sprout your own beans and seeds organically using a sieve and changing its water once in a while.
Try to eat them by throwing them into your favorite salads for a start! Eat them first before a meal and any other foods. I am just too excited to advise all to try them and see how your health will gradually change for the better. And best of all.........everybody can afford it! It is one of the cheapest foods that can contain such valuable nutrients and enzymes. Take it raw.... yes, just take it raw for best results.
You can refer to some other sites to know more about these sprouts. Sprouts are great anti-cancer foods that protects cells and prevents their genes from getting abnormal. Some call them 'wonder foods' Be it referred to as superior or wonder foods, nothing is just nothing without YOU taking the first step to try to eat those sprouts.... if you continue this attitude of 'who cares?' and 'why should I?' or 'it is none of my business...', one day you will know.... yes, one day.... you will realize the importance of being healthy!

How I bought the first bottle of ridsect! .....
'mum, what was that behind your seat? a centipede!!! my daughter shouted behind me.... Look behind! I screamed when I turned back to see a big black centipede crawling and lurking behind my seat! I was in my car! My hubby immediately stopped his car to the side of the road. my whole family was inside the car! just imagine.....
my blood nearly chilled when I saw the centipede behind me, inches close. my Adrenalin rose with my heart pounding and my body trembling with fright! The old fear returned.... I hate cockcroaches and centipedes. I was stung by a small black centipede many many years ago when i was taking my bath in a bathroom. It wriggled into the floor from an underground source and the stung left behind bad memories. A centipede's bite is really painful.
with my mind racing to do the right thing, we ran out of the car as quickly as we could. heaving a sigh, a sigh of relief that i was not stung...... One could never dream of having a huge centipede in the car!
We searched the car for the culprit... but couldnt find him. We were too scared to sit inside, not knowing when the centipede will crawl or lurk.... and it seemed that it has disappeared into thin air! Many curious onlookers were there but couldn't believe because the culprit was not to be seen! okay.... I told my hubby to buy a ridsect.
This was the first ridsect I buy! For what? To spray the inside of the car to scare away the centipede! We did exactly that! and we didnt have any second sight of it, we didnt see it crawl out of the car too! the rest of the journey home was in anxiety too, just in case......
Many people ask me why I dont like to use ridsect or is not using them. My answer is there are other methods to kill these insects.... like trapping them, like pouring hot boiling water...like drowning them, like chasing them away......lure them away... and I dont use CHEMICALS to do so! I am more towards Mother Nature. I don't like killing them, I just chase them away or talk them to leave...
hey..hey....don't look at me like this.... this is true!
some ask....what about the mosquitoes? I told them.... common sense comes before divine sense and they all laughed............
herbs to plant in your garden
you might or might not know that there is a special green herb that is specially grown for centipedes bites. the plant inself is not tall and looks like a centipede too. it is dark green and the leaves grown very close to each other. I wish I can take a photo of it and let you all have a look...

I know that I need a digital camera... for photos and videos... bear with me...soon perhaps, soon.. am still learning to master this additional skills to enhance my blogs. well... I am sure I will produce much better, original and creative, informative, educational blogs aimed towards family's interests. It is my pleasure to share and of course, I wont forget my computer xi fu[guru] who has unconditionally accepted me as his pupil..... Xi Fu, thank you.
last night's opp. meeting... CoQ10?? do you take this?
The place we rented was a nice place. The air conditioning works just nice. A number of distributors have come and as usual, we were excited and glad to meet one another once again. I was the MC of the night. The programme was supposed to start in another 15 minutes.
There..... I saw her, let's call her Mary. I immediately asked her how her health condition is then. When she saw me, she gave me a nice wide smile and a warm handshake. She embraced me and told me that she is so much better. Oh, I was glad to hear that! Seemingly, she is now glowing with health, so I invited her to share her testimony when I called her in between. She nodded in agreement.
Mary just retired from her work and now is a member, sponsored by her son, Henry. She is also one of our distributors who has contributed much as a team. I can feel her joy when we gather, either in meetings or workshops.
When her time came to share she didn't hestitate at all. She feels nice to be sharing her experiences. She told the crowd that it was about a fortnight ago that she felt ill. She can hear her heartbeats pounding loudly and she was feeling unwell. Her finger tips and feet felt like being cut off of blood circulation. She was worried and told her son that she would want to see me. It just happened that we met at town and I in no time, took her pulse and read her.... haha
[using invisible eyes to see through her....just joking]
I told her that it is the problem of her heart. Take Nutrilite CoQ10, 2 tablets a day will do with 2 Cal-Mag, 2 B Complex for this specific problem. She obeyed. She shared with us that after taking 2 tablets of Co-Q10, her heartbeats returned to normal. The result was amazing, just after a few hours, her heartbeat becomes stabilized and was not pounding hard like before! Of course, she didn't forget to thank me in front of the crowd. I was glad for her indeed!
She was called up the second time to share about her icook, Amway's pot. well...tell you a secret...ha... I can cook well too... I did some demo on pizza using the Amway icook saucepan. Her kids love to eat home-made pizza... maybe next time... but I dare not cook too delicious in case my kids need to wear XXXL! I know how to bake nice delicious nutritious pizzas..... yummy yummy...true... but for health sake, we should exercise self-discipline in eating..
ok...back to her contribution. She told the crowd that the icook pan was so nice, not sticking and best of all, quick to cook and hygienic cooking. Wow...she said, the vegetables look so green and nutritious even after being cooked. At the same time, easy to wash and store. She bought a wok and this set of saucepan last month. She continued to say that when compared to other steel pans or woks, she loves icook the best. I am not adding or exaggerating her sharing, believe me. Again, she thanked me for teaching her how to make pizza using the multi-purpose saucepan. She was given a loud applause before leaving the stage.
"I emphasized... this business is all about sharing our daily experiences...anyone can do it since consuming is earning when we become a smart prosumer!"
That's it.... it is all about sharing and caring. This business is actually touching so many people's life that I wont find enough time and space to write so. And I am glad that we treasure each other like a big family.
do you know why a middle-aged[above 40] person needs to supplement CoQ10? It is because as we age, our body cannot produce anymore of this wonderful enzyme which is needed to produce energy..... you take, you have, you don't take, you are lacking!
our heart has been working for us non-stop for the number of years equal to our age! this is more like the fuel for our heart. a healthy person also can take it for preventive measures.... love your heart, it is such an impt pump! [不要让爱你的人担心你!]
if you are 40 and above, and think that your body can still produce CoQ10 as like youngsters or kids, try this.... do you have a 5 years old boy? active one? ok, try to mimic and do the exact movements and actions of what he did for the whole day....climb up the chairs, skip around, in and out of the room and see and feel for yourself..... you will be panting in no time while he is laughing at you........ got it?

honesty is the best policy
One of the stories was like this. Honesty is the best policy.
Once upon a time, there lived a baker who can bake good, delicious bread. He became famous for his bread, but soon he became greedy. He wanted to be richer. He decided to cut down the size of his bread so his bread become of smaller size but was sold at the same price.
He was the only baker. People need to eat his bread. Soon the people were not happy about his bread, saying that it was getting smaller in size. He denied saying that it was of the same weight. Soon, this news spread to the ruler of the country. This king was well-known for his wisdom. He was very much respected and loved by his subjects.
The king looked into the matter and decided to teach him a lesson. So one day, he called the baker. The baker thought that the king must have heard about his delicious bread and would like to reward him. He was very happy and met the king. The king interviewed him about the bread and told him that there were complains about the size of bread.
The king told him that he won't like his subjects to be cheating and making dishonest deals. He denied, so the king let him go hoping that the baker would realize his mistake.
Sad to say, the baker continued his dishonest business. Soon the king decided to punish him. He called the baker and ordered 200 loaves. The baker was supposed to send them to a special place….somewhere at the sea-side. There was a cliff and the king prepared a plank. Soon the dishonest baker came.
He was thinking that the king was there to reward him. Arriving there, the king asked him once more…. Is the weight of your bread equals to the actual weight written outside the plastic bag? It was written 300gms. The baker quickly said yes, still defying the fact that he was cheating.
The king asked the baker, what is your weight? The baker replied: 50 kg. He asked his subjects to count enough bread to put across the plank and asked him to sit on the other edge of the plank just like a jig-saw. One end hanging over the cliff. Do you think the baker would like to endanger his life?
Of course not, he knew he was tricked and he cried for mercy to be saved. But it was too late. He have to pay for his dishonesty. Well, he went over the cliff and into the mouth of a hungry shark. Hahaha – that I added into it….. thehungryshark…….
this is actually a story I have shared with one of my friend.... a special friend indeed..
our parents.... 爱要趁早!
"your parent or mine?"
We have two pairs of parents; one belongs to our spouse whom we call them parents. The other is non-other then the one who bear and rear us. I always remind people about that! To love our parents must come naturally deep from within. To be filial is one of the commandments too. And never discriminate both parties. We call them daddy and mummy, but have we fulfilled the meaning of that 'word?' Many put a divider between her parents and my parents or his parents or my parents.... it is indeed a sad thing. Don't forget, one day you will also be somebody's parents.
"Ai FM used to emphasize: 'LOVE EARLY, DON'T WAIT!'
Our parents cannot wait, true, they are at an age where we cannot delay any seconds and minutes. 'Love early, don't wait!' is used to be broadcasted through radios for quite sometime recently. And I can feel the urgency of it. We cannot afford to lose them without telling or proving by actions how much we love them and how much we treasure their sacrifices.
Just after I bought my new car, I and my hubby took my parents to Kuching. They are still living in Sarikei, my hometown. We drove there and stayed at Crown Plaza Hotel. I put aside my kids and business just to be able to entertain them. And I just did that, to add smiles and happiness to their face. On our way, we talked and talked. I touched on issues to remind them of our love and dedications, to remind them of our gratefulness, to remind them that they are so very important in our lives. Loving them comes just so naturally.
Their health is also our concern, their happiness our responsibilities, their well-being, our motive. Their problems are our problems. Too many people have forsaken their parents, leaving them behind because they knew that their parents would always still love them even when neglected! You know what I mean. And these parents wept silent tears, hoping and wishing that their beloved children would just be around.
Parents love is unconditional, they cooked for us when we were young, now it is our turn to cook for them. This is just part of the story..... What about his parents? Well, we treat them the same too. We are committed to do so... and we are glad that both parents are now still living healthy and fit though they are quite of ripe age.
I used to make tonics for my parents too. My little boy used to ask me, "Mum, is that for grandmama and grandpapa? I said, 'yes.... will you also do that for me when I am old and useless? My boy will answer, 'Mama, I love you the most! I don't know whether I can remember, but you can remind me, right? But I know one thing, if I eat, you also can eat, if I have, you also have too!' He continued...."Mama, mama....can I taste it so that I can also cook the same for you?" mama....are you crying? don't cry............."
I never forget to provide all the food supplements to both of our parents. Their health is our responsibilities, their pain also ours.... to prevent is much better than cure. Both of our parents have been taking NUTRILITES for about 2 decades. This is concrete proof that the food supplements are safe to consume and it works too. Please refer to http://www.nutrilite.com/ for details. And they have yet to be operated once! I am so glad for them..
That's why I always emphasize on having appropriate knowledge of proper health care. All of us have 24 hours, but some can't take out just half an hour to maintain health. We cannot totally rely our health on doctors. Believe me! To educate a man is to educate a person, to educate a woman is to educate a family! It is never too late to start now! I can live up to my words and to what I have contributed so far.

The danger of attachment... be detached....
"what have you done with my color pencils??? why is it so short? what happened? how dare you use mine while i am not at home??? do you know how precious it is to me?" I nearly screamed my head off.... feeling so heated and angry....
I looked with dismay at my box of color pencils. That was twelve years ago.... my daughters were still so small [4, 3, 2 years old].... and they have played with my box of pencil colors. I was furious when the box of color pencils I bought 20 years ago was totally wrecked! They shared the whole thing with their cousins who were at that time living together!
The three cousins were too quiet.... they were staring at me as if I was going to eat them up... I nearly kicked my daughters...but eventually took a ruler and beat them They went to the corner of the room and started crying.... sobbing in a way that my heart nearly broke! I was still trembling with anger at the loss of my precious box of pencil colors....
I came from a poor family.... How I loved drawing...and how I have saved the money to buy that expensive imported colored pencils. I could still remember vividly... it was a metal box that contained 48 different colors. Luna the brand. It was my treasure that I stored high up above my cupboard. For more than 10 years, I have kept the color pencils, 'sayang' to use it... Just barely trying out the colors....
Heart-broken and sad, I sat down and cried too.
Suddenly it dawned me that I have done a terrible thing... I was devastated, feeling so bad.. what have my daughters done to deserve such a beating? Aren't they more important than those color pencils? That isn't me! Where was my love for them? Why the sudden outburst of temper? I couldn't imagine why and how I can beat them? Luckily it was just a small ruler.
I regretted.... I quickly went to my daughters to console and comfort them. I told them that I never meant it...and it hurts me even more! Luckily their hands were just redden.... not bruised. Actually it was not them who sharpened and used the color pencils. I decided never to repeat that silly mistake. The next day, I took out the color pencils and gave them to my daughters. I felt at ease... and there was peace in my heart...
I learnt a valuable lesson.... yes, a great lesson. I came to know that one should not build such an attachment towards a thing or even a person! I shouldn't put so much emphasize or importance on such a 'temporary' thing. The sooner one realize how to detach, the sooner one feels the peace of mind. Nothing is ever permanent in this world.
Anything happens, happens for the good. Sometimes we learn in a hard way, but some never did learn anything.... From that incident, I was glad that I learnt the importance of being detached. I really understand the meaning and danger of attachment. I changed.
sometimes...we throw this question into a forum.... what will a mother do when her most valuable flask broke? Broken by her naughty son??? the normal response of a housewife would be............... you know it....
another question.... what will another mother do when her most valuable flask broke? the situation now is different.... she is rich! well.... she will pick up her son first and see whether he is hurt or not.......... right??
can you imagine your response if your most important thing is being wrecked by a somebody? will you be able to control your temper? well...... this is perhaps the most difficult task....to remain calm...... easier said than done!
I looked with dismay at my box of color pencils. That was twelve years ago.... my daughters were still so small [4, 3, 2 years old].... and they have played with my box of pencil colors. I was furious when the box of color pencils I bought 20 years ago was totally wrecked! They shared the whole thing with their cousins who were at that time living together!
The three cousins were too quiet.... they were staring at me as if I was going to eat them up... I nearly kicked my daughters...but eventually took a ruler and beat them They went to the corner of the room and started crying.... sobbing in a way that my heart nearly broke! I was still trembling with anger at the loss of my precious box of pencil colors....
I came from a poor family.... How I loved drawing...and how I have saved the money to buy that expensive imported colored pencils. I could still remember vividly... it was a metal box that contained 48 different colors. Luna the brand. It was my treasure that I stored high up above my cupboard. For more than 10 years, I have kept the color pencils, 'sayang' to use it... Just barely trying out the colors....
Heart-broken and sad, I sat down and cried too.
Suddenly it dawned me that I have done a terrible thing... I was devastated, feeling so bad.. what have my daughters done to deserve such a beating? Aren't they more important than those color pencils? That isn't me! Where was my love for them? Why the sudden outburst of temper? I couldn't imagine why and how I can beat them? Luckily it was just a small ruler.

For all husbands and wives....
'Get out! you started it first! I don't want to listen! You are a liar!..... You cheated me!!!' plates and cups were flying all over the place..........the whole place was in a mess!
her kids started crying..........
Here is this couple who always argue on many things. At first they were talking softly...then louder... then fiercer.... and came thunder and rain! Their neighbours were quiet, trying to figure out who is right and who is wrong!
The spinster living next door comforted herself that she was right as not to marry! The boys carried on with their 'starwars'.... too much engrossed with their pc to even know what's happening!
Suddenly their father-in-law came out of the room... unshaved, shaken, disappointed and dragging his crippled leg... He was shaking his head and said..
'go ahead and fight! look at me, I have no one to talk to, no one to care, not one to say fight! Your mum has so long ago left me alone! if you are not to treasure the moments, you will regret!"
They stopped right on their tracks! Ashamed of what they did..... tears and sobs of shame and humility erupting from thier hoarse throats, sored from screaming and shouting... they knelt and asked for their father's forgiveness........... Be realized that love is all forgiving and caring...
It is perfectly normal for two person to have differences in tastes, needs, goals, dreams and actions, since they come from 2 different worlds... When a man finds a woman to marry, they are committed to live together and love each other to start a new family. That is why a man will leave his parents to do so.
Won't one be happier if one treats the other as if they were just married?

christians...why aren't u happy? read...and understand...
"Our father, who art in heaven, holy be thy name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us these days our daily bread, forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sins against us. Lead us not into temptations, but deliver us from evil. Amen"
Most of us have been taught to memorize the above prayer, taught in all churches. Memorizing and repeating it once in a while.
Do we really realize what we are murmuring? Do we really understand what it means? Do we really follow what is being taught? are we? did we? let's look at this: thy will be done! How are we suppose to be happy when we keep on asking for things that we want???? Not His will be done????
Our God, our lord is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscience and He is the past, now and the future. Everything is His to command.... His kingdom... as we prayed so often. Won't He knows what we need and require? Do we need to keep on wanting this and that? well, you might say, ask and you will be given.... yes, He gives...but are you aware of what is best for you?
that is why most of us are not happy.... because we have many wants...many....countless....., worries....stress.... sickness... diseases... [a state of dis-ease] Let go, surrender to God... persist... be faithful! you will feel very much happier!
Can we use a human brain and understanding to understand God?
Hear this too..... when someone preaches.... brothers and sisters.... and we call God, our father in heaven...... do we mean what we pray?????
listen.... some of us have just finished praying and out come from our mouth.... 'I hate him... I will revenge....... and many more... " "Don't help him, He is an enemy.... He does not belongs to our church.... He..... he.....he...... the lists endless..............." discriminations......etc..etc...
Corrections!
if you were to call God our father, that means all of us are his sons and daughters...... no matter of relationship like parents or children or grandparents.... and should be in good terms with each other.......... can't one understand? what do you understand by brothers and sisters when we despise and hurt or harm each other? hypocrites...
Or even killing each other? Or cheating one another? Or throwing insults, name them.... I dunno.... and delight in doing evils, without morals.....and etc etc....
And this is mine....this is yours.... this is not my business.....mind your own business...I don't care... It's your fault not mine.... hatred, selfishness, ego, pride, cheating... I don't need your help! Get lost! ....
Once our attitude changes, everything will be different... how? try to imagine...these people are all your brothers and sisters...or your family members.... can you imagine the love that flows out instead of differences and prejudices? can you imagine that all of us belongs to a big big family? loving and caring for each other.....that is what God wants us to do....
well... I am sharing to those who prays hard the above prayer...to think twice...and really understand what's being taught and preached.... no one is perfect, sure, no one is... to err is human, to forget is great, to forgive divine... forgive me...

Mum..... seaweeds for today?
I wonder how many will cook the seaweeds like how I did.. guess how? I will soak about 200gms of seaweeds overnight. Tear them into strips, tie them up like knots and cook the whole pot of it with some chicken[white meat] It is never good to cook seaweeds with pig's knuckle or bones.
Without any salt or seasonings, just take them to replace rice and other vegetables for that meal or better still for the whole day. One can cook with a little ginger or some red wine for extra flavor.
It is also advisable to cook and eat them once in a fortnight or a month. This is a great meal that I always recommend to my friends and they love it too.
Refer to The Nutritional and Medicinal Value of Seaweeds Used in Chinese... from http://www.itmonline.org/arts/seaweed.htm and you will get to know the many wonder nutrients obtained from eating them.

I need not be the best, but I must be my best!
Tell you something, I need not be the best, but I must be my best. The first part of the sentence invites challenges.... of which some aren't too friendly. But I must be my best means that I will try my best and living up to one's high expectations. From my years of experience in this field of curing and treatment, I have come across many responses and let me share with you some of them....
I agree that sick patients WANTED immediate relief from pains or sufferings. I agree that sick patients REQUIRED immediate attention! I know the impatience of waiting to be cured. I know the anxiousness to find the best cure.... and get the best doctor at hand! What have I to say? Since there have been many cases whereby many have seen their doctors but came to see me eventually to get a cure is indeed my headache! I never meant to over-take their roles or be so proud to say...ha...I am better than him! How these doctors hate me..... if they have known me.... but I can tell you this... a good doctor never compares or complain... Directly or indirectly, we should work as a team.
It is not who is better or who is not. It is the angle of how we see things, perhaps the patients requires mental or emotional comforts. More people are sick in their hearts and in their mind than sick physically! They need someone to understand and comfort them...all of us need that... Too many people in this world are left unloved, uncared for, unconcerned and deprived of true friendship. Too many people are 'yelling' to be loved and comforted. And where can they find them?
All of us have participated in one way or the other. All of us have tried our best.... I have cases whereby my patients were required to be operated immediately and just because of me, their operations were cancelled... maybe... in their hearts....they were wondering who this Lucy is... and felt a loss...when the moneys have grown wings and flown away! This is not the most important part of the story.
Too many a times, I have seen worried parents rushing from one clinic to another clinic in the hope to get an immediate or a miracle cure. Sometimes a disease worsen due to conflict of the medicines. Indecision... Lack of knowledge....These anxious parents need to be educated. Well... answer this question... how many days will a cut in our finger cure? 2 to 3 days? or immediately? Mother Nature.... will always win, Mother Nature will be the best logical reason. We shouldn't tear open the eggshells before a chicken is properly hatched! Or else the chicken will die.
At least we should trust our family doctors and listen to what he has to say. Most important of it to obey... Go to a renown doctor. I always believe in results. I always believe in the law of reasons and causes! It is because of 'this' that cause 'that!' It is because of 'that' that cause 'this!'....ha...quite confusing, right? but think twice.... you will understand... There is always a cause for something. Get to the root of it, find the 'why?' Get to the problem and be done with it!
Whom do we choose or how can we consider it safe? Should we obey and do exactly what the doctors say? This is open for discussion... Who is the best doctor? Again a sensitive question...
What should be done?
Listen to what I have to say...
First of all... the patients should see the doctor whom he or she confides most!
Secondly.... a good doctor should be able to find the cause of the illness.... treating it and preventing at the same time... [by educating]
Thirdly... using the safest way possible with the least harm to the patients
and most important of all.... do it with a loving, caring heart with a genuine purpose.... to lessen one's pain or cure it!
And never ever misuse the sacred morals of a doctor whom we always describe as the 'miracle' man! Much reputations have been wrecked due to carelessness and neglect, but I trust all can do better with encouragments and silent good wishes..... The less work the doctors have, the healthier the populace... and happiness will eventually be plenty, right?
What should the patients do?
Firstly, trust your doctors... be positive that you will win the race. This is the only race where all of us must be winners.
Secondly, be responsible for our own health. Acquire the knowledge as how to maintain and prevent. Don't destroy or hurt on purpose our God-given body.
Thirdly, believe that whatever the mind can believe and conceive, we can achieve!
The doctors...the patients... have to work hand in hand to produce best results...
This is a joke.. 'doctors sometimes are patients while patients are sometimes doctors... ' why? you know it.... but this joke is sometimes true!
So, recognize one's role in promoting and doing the best, not for our self but for all..

Luckily she recovered....... you may feel that it is not your business, but....
It was 2 pm when the phone rang. It was from my student. I could recognize his voice. His voice was stammering and told me that his mother has fainted. He wanted me to save his mother. His father's car will come to fetch me. So, I immediately packed my things and got ready. This student of mine is just like my son while his mother like sisters to me. I hurriedly went with his father.
Upon arriving, we rushed to the room to find his mother unconscious. She has been unconscious for more than 30 minutes! I was shocked to see her in such a poor state and surprised that she was not given treatment immediately. It shouldn't wait! I quickly tried to revive her. Her room was crowded with her kids. Her mother and sister were there but too terrified to know what to do. I quickly ordered the windows to be opened and letting fresh air in. I took her pulse, it was weak and jerking.
She looked so pale. Her daughters called her but couldn't response. When I pricked her with needles, there wasn't any response too. The condition was tense.... she laid there so still. Her hands and feet were cold. I checked her pulse again. Something have to be done! Her breathing was not even.... So, I tried to use cupping on her back and only then she cried out of pain. I told her to breathe in deeply and keep on with it.
At the same time, I told her to drink acerola cherry, one of the best concentrated Vit C. I used needles to prick her 10 fingers including her feet. Her blood that oozed out was dark and thick! Slowly her face gained color. She recovered. After half an hour, her situation became stable. I induced her to vomit and she vomitted. Only then her heart-beats returned to normal.
All of them had a bad fright! How can one leave a person unconscious for so long..... ? It needs time to recover. It was a relief that nothing did happen! I stayed for a while and I told them never to leave anybody unconscious unattended. It is a good thing that she recovered. I invited her to attend my health class and not to miss them. They agreed. Only now that they realize the importance of health.
This family has been with me for at least 5 years. She also has 4 girls and 1 boy. When these kids were with me, I shared a lot of health knowledge to them. Their trust and belief in me has been deeply rooted. This is the school holiday, so they are at home. I do attend to emergency calls for my friends and distributors. Some just telephoned for advices, but most of the time, they need to come and see me by appointment.
I have a very effective follow-up. I never fail to call them to check their improvement. I feel that it is my business too..... Until now, I have called her 3 times. She is fine now and I advised her to refrain from eating any meats within these 3 days. A light diet and some rest. I want to make sure that she is fine and recovering well. I will also accompany her to her a total body check-up tomorrow.... well.... life is about sharing...and daring to help!
You may feel that it is not your business, but it can happen to anybody.... so prevention is definitely better than cure!
I wanted to share but too many turned a deaf ear.

When I was a kid...
My mother gave birth to me when she was fifteen years old, so young and tender was her age when she became a mother............
She stands at a height of 5ft 7in, but not one of her girls takes after her height. Maybe we more inherited my father who is comparatively shorter than my mum. But I come from a very happy family. I had a very special grandfather. He was one of the greatest granddads one could pray for.
My mother told me that when I was born, my granddad was overjoyed and he even ‘lit’ the firecrackers to show his pride. I was his pride. I came into this world just when the clock struck 12 noon! And my grandmother named me ‘snow sister’ in mandarin. My grandparents showered me with love and pampered me. I was then a small, happy, giggling, big eyed, cute little girl who knows only love. Following me, my mum gave birth to six siblings in a period of 12 years.
We lived in a small hut, and we were poor. The invaluable lessons of living as a toddler were shared with delightful stories of how I was the ‘talk’ of the relatives. My grandmother showed her pride to many people. Some were not happy about it. She boasted of my cuteness and intelligence. That unknowingly started a cloud of annoyance and an unseen gap between some close relatives.
My mother told me this story…. I was clever at such a tender age. There was a time when my parents were working on their pepper farm. The weeds were tall and I wanted to look for them, but finding no pathway that led to it. So I climbed on my pet dog, rode it and went to search for my parents…. Through those dog-lanes…in the bushes.... can you imagine me riding on a dog? haha....
My grandfather left me when I was in kindergarten. I was too young to know anything though sometimes I still dreamt of him. sometimes catching the birds and butterflies for me.............my grandparents lived to a ripe old age.
Though I don’t feel myself witty or intelligent, I am also among the top five in the class. I don’t feel I am talented, but I just felt that I am different from my friends and classmates. I used to feel deeply and just could comprehend much better than some of us. That makes me a target of jealousy. My schoolmates used to eye me as an obstacle when credits were due.
There was once when I was in primary two when our class was punished for being noisy. So the teacher left us to write our punishments. We were to write for five hundred times. ‘I will talk in class while the teacher teaches.’ That was what was required by the teacher. So, all of us were writing feverishly at the same time grumbling.
I started writing too. After writing for a few pages, I felt something was wrong. The punishment should be aimed at correcting the students, not to write something like this. So, I changed the writing. I changed it to ‘Please forgive us for talking in class, we are sorry.’ And after another few pages, I wrote, ‘We will not talk in class while the teacher is teaching."
The teacher requested us to pass up the punishments. Funny, the teacher went through the meaningless scrabbles of sentences. When she came to mine, she was pleased and surprised. Not one in the class wrote what I wrote. Not even one in this school, she said. All of them followed exactly what was told. She told me that I was indeed an honest and unique person. She told me to keep up with my compassionate conscience.
She is now over seventy years old. When we met, we still embraced each other and couldn’t resist talking on those happy years. Her English was terrific, and I was influenced by her definitely. School days were sweet history to me.
We grew up amidst the jungles and streams. My childhood was spent running wild in the forest to pick wild ferns and collect wild fruits. My immature singing that filled the forest with ancient Chinese songs of ‘Third sister Lieu’ was fun. The fishes in the streams were also not spared. All sorts of nets and lines and hooks we tried. Bucketing old pails and baskets did the trick. And memories of such happy childhood aroused in me such deep acknowledgments of a carefree and happy me, at such a tender age. But I did the cooking, the washing and drying, looking after my brothers and sisters, sweeping the floor and at the same time reading books. Just imagine, I drafted a timetable so as to finish my job earlier.
I read books that I got from the public library. I could remember that I was only in primary two when I started reading. I dare say that no fairy tales, or fables or folk stories of my time were left out. The librarian just smiled when they saw me, and the face so familiar that I could draw out his profile even until now. They were my good friends too...
Being an animal lover, I used to talk to them, even the ducks love me, I purposely look for earthworms hidden beneath the stones or wood for them to eat. I think I am also a leader of my times. I planned my time carefully.
My father is an intellect in his own ways. His wisdom on common living and his positive ideas and wits made me admire him more. He is a skilled carpenter, though I felt he looks more a carpenter of life. He treats people fine and is hardworking. Even until now, I couldn’t resist my tears of gratitude for him when I think over all those sacrifices and hard times he had gone through just for all of us.
I studied in a missionary school that is why I was exposed to Christianity at an early age. I studied at St. Anthony primary and secondary school. But I couldn’t forget those times when I was living in a rural area with no electricity and no good roads. I could still remember those times when I was weeding in the pepper garden with my mother. You know what I did? I told her stories that I have read. We enjoyed each other’s company while in the pepper garden, hoeing, collecting pepper and all the varied jobs expected in the farm.
Yes, we grew up in the rubber and pepper gardens. We plant vegetables and I could even ride the huge male-type of motorbike. ‘Too tall and heavy… a 19th century vehicle for my size. I couldn't believe myself too when I recalled what had had happened during that time. I wore my grandmother's trousers, either too long or too big....
BUT WE NEVER COMPLAINED....
note: something wrong with my paragraphing, it just cannot be spaced as like the rest...needs to work on it again..sorry
Mrs. A..." my daughter complains of abdominal pain..."
Eating the right food....
I have always wanted to share with people about eating the right food. But it is never my habit to reveal a person's illness to the public and talk about it as if it is just any issue. I always realize the importance of when to talk and when not to. But if I were not to share, where can people gain valuable experiences? It is not until when the said person is willing to write his or her testimonies, or else I will keep them secret. So, I am using pseudo names instead. Nobody wants to have their problems discussed in open and I am not going to do that.
That is why I was thinking as whether to blog or not to..... about certain cases.... To gain the patent's trust to confide in me about their problems is so very important. Please in case, some cases are quite similar, stay upright, fear not! Problems have been solved, so it is no longer the old you. It also serves to remind us not to repeat the silly mistakes. Think for others who might have the same problems.... Your experiences can help them when I share..... forgive me..
A few months back, I received a call from my distributor saying that she has a customer who wanted to see me. Mrs A was in a hurry to meet me. She brought me her daughter, aged 8. She has brought her to see many doctors but her ailment still prevails. My daughter complains of stomach ache most of the time. I have only 2 daughters, one is in the secondary class. Their father passed away in an accident a few years ago.
I took her pulse, have a thorough look on her.... Guess what I did? I asked her mother a question...
[请问你听女儿的话还是她听你的? ....... 你有去超极市场购物吗?]
"May I know if it is you who act on your daughter's command or your daughter to listen to you?" She couldn't quite catch my question. Then I continued. "Do you go shopping in the supermarket?" Her reply was yes for sure.
'Well...well...well.... You pay the money but your daughter choose the foods she wanted to eat or buy, right?" She said.. "oh...I guess..yes. I buy what she wants to eat. She is very choosy on her foods. Sometimes the vegetables I cook are untouched and I have to throw them away!"
80% of the foods sold in supermarkets are not nutritious and are rubbish foods. I called them rubbish foods because of its low contents of nutrients, high preservatives, colorings, hidden salts, sugars and fats. And 'long-ago-made'...... meaning not fresh!
I know what she eats.... believe me.... the daughter will look for hot dogs, instant noodles, sweets, canned drinks, 'keropok', frozen chicken wings, ice-cream and canned foods. Her favorite ---hot dogs, right? Her mother was shocked to hear my explanations.
I continued to ask her whether she could remember her times when we listen to our parents. We eat what our parents cook and there was no refrigerator at that time. Mostly are stir-fried vegetables, no meats, no hot dogs at all! I don't blame the supermarkets for selling them, but the power of choice.... we have, right? Business making is their cup of tea.
Money is in our pocket, why buy 'troubles'? Why buy 'rubbish foods'? I have no intention to talk harm about anyone or any place. I always believe that we have no rights to talk ill or condemn or judge anyone. Give them chances to reform.
钱在你的口袋....... 你有权力要怎么花就怎么花...... 有新鲜的不要偏偏要买臭的! 用钱买麻烦? 用钱买病? 用钱治病! 那太没有意仪了吧! 你说是吗?
The highly processed foods that her daughter eats has upset her whole digestive system. I told her that there was too much 'artificial foods' inside her stomach. I told her that her stomach is full of rubbish, useless things and it is complaining and yelling to her to stop hurting it! She silently nodded in agreement. She has no other choice, but to agree. She didn't tell me her secret, I told her... I know it even without her telling me so.
From that day onwards, try to eat vegetables, fruits and natural foods. I told her to start loving her body.... it is her body, not others. Pain is hers... not mine. I shared a little on the choice of healthy foods. To solve her problem, she needs to buy a packet of nutri-bifidus, a very effective yogurt powder exclusively sold by Amway Distributors.
Though expensive, she needs to 'overhaul' her digestive system. I told her to take some food supplements after she has finished her yogurt. She listened and did exactly what I told her.....
The following day, the mother called again and told me to have a look at her other daughter who always complained on tiredness and lack of energy....
ok..this is part 2. How I wish that I can put in some diagrams..or pictures or some sound. Be learning to do it.
The other daughter came. She looked pale and lack of energy. Her period painful and having cramps on and off. As usual, I took her pulse and checked her. You might be wondering how I did that. My second daughter who usually crowd besides me when diagnosing asked one day.... Mum, how can you know what the problem they are having just by listening to the pulse? I told her that one day she will know....be patient and just watch..
ok...what went wrong with this daughter...... she wasn't too happy when I pointed out her weaknesses. She has this habit of 'coming back from school, switch on TV, eat in front of it, switch on air con..... and lie there on the sofa....enjoying almost all the TV programmes. Oops... she has forgotten to help in kitchen, in the garden, in the rooms while her mother does all the job. Even washing the dishes... or sweeping.
How can a person be healthy without exercising or sweating a little? Moreover, she eats the same food her younger sister is eating, though she has no complain on her stomach. I told her that it is not only her who is having such a problem. The whole world is facing this problem where parents are spoiling them with 'amahs' and themselves!
I asked her mother again. Has she forgotten the times she helped her mum in the kitchen when she was young? Did she not help in the garden? Didn't she not learn to sweep and wash in our tender years? Don't she ever thought of passing these jobs to her daughters? Don't she ever think why she is still doing the jobs? Until old and useless one day?????? She told me that they couldn't do the job well... I told her..... let it be....one day they will learn to do them well!
你忘了你曾经都在忙吗?...... 做个好女儿, 忙着帮妈妈作事吗?.... 比如:扫地,洗碗,洗衣,抹地,煮饭,看顾兄弟姐妹....你要做到何时呢?
Get her to do the routine work, she will learn at the same time earn her health!
She listened or not, that I didn't know. But sad to say, too many people are committing the same mistakes. Spoiling their kids unknowingly. That is why I used to joke with my friends, I 'remote control' my daughters to do their jobs respectively..... for their sake and ours...
We met after 3 weeks, I have forgotten where. I instantly enquire about her younger daughter's condition. Guess what? The mother was so happy, she told me that her daughter has ever-since not experienced any pain in her abdominal area. She looks healthier and happier. I am really happy for her though I know not her name nor she knows mine..
It doesnt matter, right?

My 2 in 1 pillow ..... special??
Lucy again? She is going to unfold a short story about the pillow.... wondering how many people have the gut to do what she did..................But it does make a difference.....tell you what....... get a scissor!!
She is here to tell you how to sleep proper at night.
One day, Mum caught me cutting out a hole from my pillow. I could still remember her fury when she saw the damaged pillow! Inside me I thought I wanted to try it out. You know the typical pillow, right? Well... I cut a hole that of the size of my head...you know what I mean... estimate it from your head.... and sew up the pillow case.
I hate to sleep on my ears....just feeling that I am blocking my hearing and giving me the feeling of deafness. My stiff neck tire me when I sleep like ..on a slide! You might not realize it, but I just have this problem with me. A good sleep is what we need to start off another great day. A good sleep is the beginning of a great journey of tomorrow.
Pillows with special designs that can support our neck is more important than just a soft pillow. I prefer to go without a pillow instead of a hard typical one. I will choose something to support my neck instead of the whole head. Moreover, I don't want to be a hunchback! Proper 'placing' of our skeleton while sleeping is important! So that we can walk straight, stand straight...well it is beauty itself, right? That is me!
Invest in a good pillow instead. Some pillows are stuffed with soothing dried herbs. We spend one third of our life sleeping! Our bed will make a lot of difference!
Get one with a 2 in 1 function! Good enough to support our neck and protect our lymph system. Change and keep clean the pillow case often too!
I also have been travelling wide......sleeping in hotels, but I have yet to find a pillow of my dream. That means, 99% of the pillows are typical ones. There is always so much room for improvements, I guess....
hey there! have you ever come across these words? 'IF BETTER IS POSSIBLE, WHY REMAIN JUST GOOD?'
I am not being choosy or bossy or telling people what is wrong or what is right? I never meant that. But it is this thing that is bothering me...... am I really poking into people's life? Well... alright, it is all about sharing...... If it is for the better, so why not?
But some do told me that I am too headstrong with some of my ideas...... Friends out there, I hope one do understand that we have the right to choose and mature enough to know how to choose proper! I am still learning to master this art of blogging so that you wont fall asleep in the midst of my blog..... or you might already have my special pillow???
Our lymph system lies around our neck. Go to have a look about its functions from wikipedia. I call them the 'police station' whereby it helps to guard our immune system. Mind you, this is the first station.... to safeguard further attacks of bacteria and virus... that comes from the head area. The internal organs like the lungs and heart will be in a safer condition. Those nasty microbes love to eat ...... yummy yummy..... you know what... so our first defence system situates at our neck.
Sleeping proper without actually pressing on the lymph system will directly or indirectly affect our lymph system. Some feels it more than others. I am glad and excitedly myself for this newly found powerful tool of blogging so that I can share some of these good points. Our main purpose is to be healthy, our main purpose is to maintain health, one ought to earn our health, precious health, once lost is never the same.
HOw can we put back scrambled eggs into the eggshells? Like I used to say, we ourselves should be aware that we are 100% responsible for our own health.... before we can take care of others...
Learn some health tips, simple easy ones.... for yourself, for your family, for your friends and relatives... this world will be a so much a better place to live, and we are not barely surviving!

Farewell to tiredness...the salty bath!
My sister came over to me and complained that she felt tired.... ok... I told her.... Come...I will show you the way to rid off your tiredness. Have a seat and wait for a while...
I prepared half a kg of coarse salt to mix into the bath tub, estimated the water temperature to be around 40 degrees Celsius. Got her a towel to scrub herself and another dry towel to dry herself.
I told her to cleanse herself first before wading into the bath tub and enjoy soaking inside the salty water for about 20 minutes. Switched on some music and told her to relax... Dry without rinsing.
She came out of the bathroom so much refreshed and no longer tired.
why?
Salt-water is a natural disinfectant that kills bacteria and can be used as a form of body detoxification. It also helps in the exfoliation of dead cells. The new cells are then more vibrant, increasing its metabolism rate too. The bath tub will be soiled from the dead cells that one scrub while soaking herself. Soaking in salty water heals wounds faster. 'Ocassional soaking' in salty water heals some of the most difficult skin diseases.
I have tried and found that it works! A normal person is recommended to have a salt bath once a fortnight. It releases stress too!

Blogging.... to blog....
Two days ago.... blogging is a totally new affair to me. There is so much for me to learn. I only come to realize that it is an online diary whereby we can express our points and interact with people. I like it very much since I am also looking for a way to express some of my work and share my experiences.
I really feel very thankful for this wonderful man who introduced this blog to me. I learnt a lot from him. He is very special, honest and a man of his words. He is highly intelligent in his career as an engineer and as a webmaster. Forgive me if I have underestimated his abilities.
But one thing for certain, you can go into his website http://www.drquek.com/, check his website directory and surf for hours because he personally designs hundred over websites!
I will count him as a mentor and as a friend..

Don't swallow the pill, open up the capsule and spread the powder onto the boils... it cures fast!
My heart pains to see those suffering huge boils and painful wounds. I rarely advise one to take pills or any medicines. What should I do? I tried many ways. One day, I discovered a very much safer way.
The usual red and black capsule that contains antibiotics meant for consumption... works well when applied externally! Just use a little powder of it and spread it gently onto the wound. Bandage it up with clean cloth so that it wont get wet!
It heals so nicely and speedy too, really... that is why I am sharing this to you all... Of course it is better to do done under my supervision.

Her abscesses were all gone!
I was going to deliver a speech. Nevertheless, she got the better of me. It was only another 10 minutes to go. She looks so young, but she wears long sleeves and long trousers. I asked her what was troubling her. "Please help me." I am too embarassed to face people.
Her mother quickly intervened. I have spent a lot of money on her. Look at her body... it is all covered with painful abscess. I checked her and told her what to do. I recommended her to use a special soap, 3 in 1 antibacterial soap. Applying on it for a few minutes before washing them.
While using this soap, no other soaps can be used together. Oops, I wonder what people will say when I recommend Amway products, but this is the truth. I am not trying to sell anything, but that was what I did.
I recommended her to go on a light diet, with low animal proteins and no fried foods. Keropok must be out. More vegetables and fruits. At the same time, I told her to take 3 tablets of Bio C. I also told her to take Nutrilite protein. I told her not to worry.... Lucy will solve your problem. She smiled and tried to believe me.
Well, it did work. Her body was not as itchy as before, and those abscesses started to dry. The first time she took Bio C, part of her body became red and swollen. She called me. I told her not to worry but to continue taking Bio C as prescribed.
A week later, she called to report to me that her problem now is down to only 10%. No more itchy nights though there were still some on her back. I told her to change her bedsheets and pillows and bolsters. Another week passed, she is now wearing short sleeves and a skirt.
well... I am happy for her...really..

Mum....what are you drawing?
My third daughter used to watch me draw, murmuring to herself..."other people's mum don't draw like you, but I can also draw too....hehe.... but still cannot draw exactly like yours!"
Mum...mum..... Why can you draw so perfect? Why don't you use my pencil and eraser? What if it goes the wrong way? You are using a pen and ink! Mum, are you listening?
I replied, without looking at her. "This is my 2022nd piece of work, understand?" She was surprised with my answer.....
"That means...I can also do it like you do! see....one day, I will draw better than you! mum, will I?"
"PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT" keep on drawing..... I wonder if she really understands me.

The big mangoes...
One day, my student came to visit me... she was one of my favorite in class many many years ago..... she still looks so young. She has 2 kids. When we stand together, we look like sisters...
At my backyard, I have a mango tree. The fruits were plenty, so I took 3 mangoes and gave them to her. She was happy and said. "Wow, teacher, thank you......all your mangoes are so big!" Oh! yes! I replied... Then she went back.
My second daughter was watching me... She came to me and asked. "Why did you say like that? There are some small ones there...... Why didn't you give the small ones to her?"
I told her. If we have the heart to give, give the best! Of course, there are small mangoes! My daughter nodded in agreement.
"要给就要给最好的!"

The fittest will survive!
It is true. The fittest will survive! We are all creatures inhibiting a place we call the earth! There is this Mother Nature that plays the role of balancing.
Ecology is a scientific study of the distribution and abundance of living organisms and how the distribution and abundance are affected by interactions between the organisms and their environment. [taken from Wikipedia]
Aren't we part of the earth?
REMEMBER! WE ARE NEVER ALONE! THE FITTEST WILL SURVIVE!
We are not suppose to forget about ecosystem. An ecosystem can be defined as any situation where there is interaction between organisms and their environment. [taken from Wikipedia]
We don't fall ill without a reason. But if we know how to defend ourselves from them, win over them, we will survive well! That is what I meant for the fittest to survive!

We are all delicious 'foods' for bacteria and virus!!!
We live in a world of microbes unseen and unheard of! I used to tell my students... Be strong or else we become foods for bacteria and virus!
You eat them or you get eaten!
I am not joking! I have seen too many patients who have failed to win the fight and had migrated to the other world!
You have the guts to win, right? Be health-conscious!

Our mouth.....contains the highest amount of bacteria..
Know this? You can do an experience! Get two packets of mee. Leave one alone, eat the other one but leave if after a few bites.
After a few hours, the one you have eaten half-way starts to 'rot' and becomes stale while the one left undisturbed is still fresh!
Why?
When we bite, we left some bacteria in the food that causes it to smell and rot faster!
So beware....when kissing...

You might feel the word 'fasting' a taboo..... but..
Too many people in this world are sick and suffering due to eating too much or too much of the wrong food. So fasting is just the word to come in rescue! Believe me! Give your body a cleanse..... let our body system rest.... It is a topic of deep insights for those health conscious. And it is not a subject to be neglected.
Of course one has to be educated on proper fasting or detox for best results. Anyway, obsesity is curable..... learn the skill of eating, that's all....
Learn how and what and when to eat! haha..... as if I am a babe..???

Don't eat when you are in bad mood!
There are times when we are sad or in bad mood. Don't eat, for goodness sake. Just drink some fluid. The foods you take when in distress will cause discomfort and indigestion!
To starve for a while will not cost you your life! You cannot force a baby to eat if they are sick or in bad mood. So, why force yourself?
Give it a break!

Why chew our food?
Why should we chew and chew? Take your time while eating! Not to just throw the food into our mouth and swallow.....just like that! Our set of teeth is one of the best 'juicer'. Fruits or vegetables that contains fiber are being mixed with our saliva to start off the first step of proper digestion.
The wrong steps will create a small problem... BUT the small problem will become a bigger problem if left unheeded!
To LOVE and CARE FOR THYSELF is our own responsibilities! You are no babies....You know how to take care of yourself, right?

The 7 classes of food....it is a revision but do you really have a balanced diet?
WE studied the 7 classes of food while in school. I can still remember. In our country, our students study them while they are in form two. Are they to be studied for the sake of studying?
What are they?
Have we forgotten them?
"Nothing needs to be too much, but we must not miss out anything!" Keep a balanced diet! It works miracles!
Don't tell me that our car only needs petroleum and dont need the brake oil or any water!!!
Have a look at what you are eating! Don't eat for the sake of eating!

To take meats everyday is a poison, to take them once a month is a tonic!
I used to tell my students, friends and distributors in my health classes. To eat meats everyday is a poison, to take them once a month is a tonic!
Meats are not meat anymore. Organic is becoming a rare word. Meats reared or 'grown' in small coups, fattened with ........ , injected with ........ , genetically altered breeds, all are of concern to many...... but what can we do?
YOU have your choice.....to eat or not to! Stop before it is too late, one will regret to know the truth too late!

Our stomach needs the relevant fuel.... not too much is just enough!
Disciplining while eating is also a 'tao' of health. Our stomach needs the fuel but not to be overloaded. Too much of anything is never too good. When one keeps on eating bulk food, our stomach becomes enlarged.
Over stuffing overload their work! The stomach has not finished its work, so it passes to the small intestine, it cannot do its work proper and passes it to the large intestine.
Well, they will start complaining.... The whole digestive system will be at stack!
Think twice..... do you need all that food or are you greedy?

Eat your meal, don't wash down with a big glass of drink!
It is advisible to eat your meal but not to wash it down with a big glass of drink! Why?
Our food together with a little soup is just nicely digested in our stomach with its digestive enzymes. When we wash it down with a big glass of drink, it will dilute our digestive liquids that is suppose to work perfectly!
Once diluted, digestion is affected. If one continues to do this, sooner or later one will have a stomach problem!
Take care! This sometimes also create foul smell from our mouth since more food is being left fermented instead of being digested!

Go for a combination of 5 or more colored vege, fruits and beans...
Mother Nature has richly endowed us with different colors of vegetables, fruits and beans to provide us with varied and essential nutrients.
To cook or make a salad with [1] purple cabbage [2] orange tomatoes/carrots [3] white cauliflower/bean sprouts [4] red capsicum [5] green broccoli will be more nutritious than to cook with only one type.
To boil a bean soup with [1] black beans [2] soya beans [3] red beans [4] green beans [5] white beans will be surprisely delicious and nutritious to consume once a fortnight/month!
To eat a plate of fruits of [1] water melon [2] papaya [3] pineapples [4] sweet melon [5] white/red-meat dragonfruit will be a delightful treat!
Try them!

Fruits are better eaten alone for easier assimilation!
Fruits contain a lot of fiber and are easily digested. When eaten after meals, these fruits sit inside your stomach and wait for its turn to be digested. While it waits, it starts to ferment giving out bad or foul smell.
So it is best to be eaten alone for easier assimilation!

You are what you eat!
Physical health....... You are what you eat!
Mental health... You are what you think!
Emotional health... You are how you feel!
Spiritual health.... You will be enlightened!

"When we have health, we have hope. When we have hope, we can have everything!"
"When we have health, we have hope. When we have hope, we can have everything!"
Plant durians, harvest durians...
Plant beans, harvest beans.... Arguments can be prevented. I used to tell my students.... Heed not others' criticisms or rude remarks. If you are not guilty, why fear? These friends or classmates must be responsible for their speeches. Why the anger? Why sing the same song? Why join the argument?
Think twice and you will discover that there is NO REASON TO BE ANGRY WHEN PROVOKED!
You will be happier!
"种瓜得瓜, 种豆得豆!"

Mind our speech!
We are wholly responsible for what we have said and done. Once I heard a leader who went on stage to do a sales talk. He told people that 'Pursue' which is an disinfectant can even kill mosquitoes!
What happened next, one can imagine... Some did tried to spray on the mosquitoes but they still can fly and were very much alive!
Soon, people complained to the company, there were disagreements and arguments about the issue. Of course the leader was unhappy. He learnt a lesson, not to exaggerate! Too many people refuse to confess and learn the real thing.
So, be careful on what we say..... Our tongue is just a soft tissue, but it cuts deep.....deep enough to bleed.....unhappiness.......

Self-affirmation is a powerful tool... do it right!
Sometimes we do face challenges or misfortunes or remarks that are negative and sad....... I used to tell people... We cannot prevent things from happening, but we can do something with it.... How?.... Give it 48 hours!...... get the thing done or share them with your friends. Stop talking about it after 48 hours!
When people remind us of those unfortunate or mishaps, tell them...
"I have forgotten about it! Let's not talk about it again!"
"Never drown ourselves with memories of sadness or misfortunes, the burden will one day be too heavy and our life journey will be meaningless!"
So, do it right! Self-affirmation is a tool to be used for good purposes!
