Being a mother / having a mother
I received the below email from my beloved daughter, and it made my tears uncontroable. Would like to share with all the mothers, that feel the pain and love of bringing up a child.
Dear Mom,
Thanks for being a great mom to both brother and me. I love you very much!!
By the way, am thinking of joining you when you visit Ah Poh the next time.
Love,
Ching Ching
BEING A MOTHER After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, 'I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would Love to spend some time with you.'
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my Mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. 'What's wrong, are you well,' she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
'I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,' I responded 'just the two of us.' She thought about it for a moment, and then said, 'I would like that very much.'
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. 'I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,' she said, as she got into the car. 'They can't wait to hear about our meeting.'
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.
After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half-way through the entrees, I lifted my eyes and saw Mother sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips.
'It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,' she said. 'Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor,' I responded. During the dinner , we had an agreeable conversation nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.' I agreed.
'How was your dinner date?' asked my wife when I got home. 'Very nice, much more so than I could have imagined,' I answered.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. An attached note said: 'I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me.
'I love you, son'
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: 'I love YOU' and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some 'other' time.
Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby... somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, 'normal' is history.
Somebody said you can't love the second child as much as you love the first... somebody doesn't have two or more children.
Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery....somebody never watched her 'baby' get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten... or on a plane headed for military 'boot camp.'
Somebody said a Mother can stop worrying after her child gets married... somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.
Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home... somebody never had grandchildren.
Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her... somebody isn't a mother.
Pass this along to all the GREAT 'mothers' in your life and to everyone who ever had a mother.
This isn't just about being a mother; it's about appreciating the people in your lives while you have them... no matter who that person is!
Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes...your destiny.
'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle'.

BEST REMEDIES TO YOUTH
Recently, I have been wondering why one of my newly found friend in the line dance group look so young(sorry, cannot review the name or get sue). I was always searching the remedies or recipe to be young again, but now, I search no more.
While we are growing up, we tend to take things seriously and forgot that we are once a child. We have forgotten that we have to feel and act like a child(sometimes only lah), and her recipe was to play the children computer games(she said is easy and no need to use the brain so much) and watch cartoon(which will definitely make you laugh out loud). And another recipe is to drink fruit enzymes before going to sleep and early in the morning.
So, ladies and gentlemen be happy and enjoy what life have to give(but of course have to be faithfull to your partners). Enjoy line dancing is also the best medicine, recipe and remedies!

young visitor
This baby ci xi za was found in my strawberry planter box last Thursday night before our dance practice. It must have been blown off from it's nest by the storm that afternoon.
He or she? I guess it is a she, because she likes Christina's son, the handsome boy.
This fellow oo tu xi on my palm.
Anne said congratulation--cos xi wei choi. I am going to be very evry rich. haha
New home for the night. Fed her with some BBQ rice (mai chang soak in water) and made him a new nest, no room charge for the night. To be continue......youngmanlim
PART 2- YOUNG VISITOR
One of her brother came near the cage to check when my visitor cried.
Flew out from the 6 stars hotel room. She was unable to fly the night I found her because she was wet all over, I used our hair drier to dry her.
2nd flight landed on a dried branch.
3rd flight landed on the fence, rested and ready to fly for freedom. Her parent were singing somewhere, seem like calling her. Before I took her out her parent already calling her out loud. The night when I took her home, her parent were calling outside my home for quite awhile.
Standing on a branch, can you see it? Her bro/sis came to greet her on the same branch where she landed, but i missed that shot.Sunday, June 22, 2008

Please take this seriously or even more disaster is coming your way very soon...........(strong wind, lightning, heavy rain, very high temperature and sudden change of weather) or mabye tomorrow.

New Version of Dance
Yesterday night we had a great time and a very special thanks to our Youngmanlim and his lovely wife for the invitation.
We were offered three type of enzymes drink and it was so tasty.
They said the drink does not contained any alcohol at all but this morning our senior Janice sound like she had a handover yesterday.
Please seat still and enjoy our new version of Saturday Night Fever(Satay Night Fever)!
Just look at the video, they are really one bunch of crazy line dancer. Even its time to go home and carrying their small bags, they can't seem to know how to stop.
So, I have decided to changed the title dedicated just for them "Cheerie BAGsom".
"HAPPY DANCING EVERYONE!"
How to convert your video from AVI to WMP format
Hi, dear friends,
With the help of friend suggestion, I have yesterday tried and successfully convert the video AVI to WMP(Window Media Player)format for fast downloading to our Blog. (1MB is equivalent to 1,000kb)
For this kind of conversion you can use Window Media Maker or Canon Zoom Browser EX whichever is easy for you.
This is the Main page of Window Media Maker. Label A -to import the video from your computer,
Label B - to enter titles to highlight it on the video and
Label C- after dragging the completed video to the timeline below you need to save it your computer.

Make sure the collection in this view is empty to get new import video to this column.
If when you enter this main page and you still have your previous video just click to arrow which I have circled it. The previous video will be gone and you can import new video to this page.
Below here u can see the two different type of editing - show timeline and show storyboard.
Show timeline - Part by part of the video will be shown here
Show storyboard - You can do cutting of the video section that you dont require and you can also see the time here.
SECOND PART on the Window Media Maker
Below are the second part - how to insert text into the video. You need to go to Edit Movie and click on the Make an AutoMovie. Click to the more option below and it will be shown as the second photo . This is only a few easy steps and I hope you will enjoy yourself. 
happy people?
WHITE STAFF GROWN ON TOP IS GOOD (look at my jack fruit on the left), BLACK
STAFF APPEAR MEANS CONTAMINATED.
Looks like they are happy with the enzyme drinks, how good the effect, we have to hear the comment this Sunday, but one glass only make you sleep better and that is all i guess ( but sleep well also will improve skin condition---liangruikim said one). As for the recipe, i don't follow instruction too much. Important thing is clean n dry cutting knife, zamp ban, air tight container, everything must be clean including you!Wash the fruits clean, if you need to use the skin (contain a lot more goodies) wash even more. Dry them under strong fan to remove the water left on them.
Lemon is good for most enzyme, so first layer is lemon, follow by fruit like pineapple, dragon fruit blar blar....then after about two inches thick, lemon on top again repeat, the last is always lemon and oligo 900, oligo 900 is filled about have the level ( a kind of simple sugar that only react with the good bacterial in the intestine ( big or small i cannot remember). Closed the lid tight and leave the jar in a dark and not hot place. Look at it every day as against to many belief that it should not to seen or touch once the lid is closed. I enjoy seeing it changing each day and 14 days later, YAMSENG!!!! 
yam yam Cambodia delicacy
This is the most delicious dish I had ever eaten in my whole life. It was from my organic garden. They were very natural, fresh not polluted at all, they were lively, healthy and full for good things for good health and long life.
It tasted acidic, nose punching, when they were swallowed, you would felt something crawling on your stomach wall.
Guess what it this?
These were the red ants found making castles on my fruit trees. The chef was my Cambodia maid. If you gals and guys love it, next potluck dish from us? You can enlarge to see the ants and the bun fei sao ciyio, those white white things were ants' eggs.

this one?
liangruikim found this giant pumpkin at our garden, she strongly believed that, it has the 
same properties of the big papaya enzyme that make women gorgeous, so she suggested that we use this pumpkin to make enzyme for our dance group of course ladies only. But i think beside the size that matters, the shape also important right? Anywhere I leave the choice to you gals. As long as I am not liable to how your figure turns out, I am fine, I can modify my formula for this recipe.
Waiting for you gals feedback.

house drink for tonight
Dear all beautiful ladies (high time to work hard to recruit more man into this dance group already loh),
Three type of enzyme drinks will be served tonight:-
1) Home grown organic pineapple including the green leafy "head" ( contain a lot of chlorophyll)mixed with imported orange ( of course). Benefit of this enzyme are, anti-inflammation- help to cure bad throat/coughing; antioxidant improves skin "shininess n smoothness"; anti aging, make you live up to 120 yrs young and still will not look like a monster.
2)Hong muo sa lie with lemon and pandan leave enzyme contain properties that improve our bodies defence system, therefore bring more joy and health (natural vitamin C ma). According to unconfirmed information, it also helps to contain the cancerous cells in our bodies, especially man's prostate cancerous cells. The pandan leave also make you smell better. You can scent it to night.
3) 3rd one is very very special, I found the formula from an US website, this beauty club/company sells this enzyme to many many ai sui women. It improves the "whiteness" of the skin until the skin shows a little pink, our old folk always say fan hong fan hong like that one. This is a very expensive drink because the ingredient is not originated in USA or at least not popularly grown in other countries except Asia. I used my home grown organic one, the effect is even better. Ladies MUST drink.
Due to limited stock available, I did not know you gals dare to try ma, so only made for home consumption, but don't worry every one is guarantee to have at least one glass.

Three type of enzyme drinks will be served tonight:-
1) Home grown organic pineapple including the green leafy "head" ( contain a lot of chlorophyll)mixed with imported orange ( of course). Benefit of this enzyme are, anti-inflammation- help to cure bad throat/coughing; antioxidant improves skin "shininess n smoothness"; anti aging, make you live up to 120 yrs young and still will not look like a monster.
2)Hong muo sa lie with lemon and pandan leave enzyme contain properties that improve our bodies defence system, therefore bring more joy and health (natural vitamin C ma). According to unconfirmed information, it also helps to contain the cancerous cells in our bodies, especially man's prostate cancerous cells. The pandan leave also make you smell better. You can scent it to night.
3) 3rd one is very very special, I found the formula from an US website, this beauty club/company sells this enzyme to many many ai sui women. It improves the "whiteness" of the skin until the skin shows a little pink, our old folk always say fan hong fan hong like that one. This is a very expensive drink because the ingredient is not originated in USA or at least not popularly grown in other countries except Asia. I used my home grown organic one, the effect is even better. Ladies MUST drink.

Cures For An Upset Stomach
There are many reasons to a diarrhea or an upset stomach but many of us has always mistaken that all stomach upset is due to food poisoning. The common symptoms are usually colic, wind, vomit and non-stop purging. Sometimes you may develop a fever and this sort of stomach pain is usually caused by a bacterial infection.
Gastroenteritis is the medical term for stomach upset. This is the medical jargon I learned from my GP's medical chit. This is better known as gastronomical/stomach stomach infection by the lay person. Your mother could have told you that your stomach upset could be due to that assam laksa, nasi lemak or fierce curry you ate in the morning. This is not always true unless the food was not prepared in a hygienic manner. The food contaminated with germs(pathogen) is always the cause food poisoning. The reason that our all-time-favorites nasi lemak may result in an upset stomach is because of its main ingredient-chilly, which by nature is an effective bowel stimulant. Some people will experience loose stool if they have an oversensitive stomach. Sometimes a stomach upset may be due to an inflamed gut or gall bladder. To tell whether it is due to purely food poisoning or otherwise, the stool usually will reveal the truth.
When the stool is loose, watery and yellowish in colour, this may be a symptom of food poisoning. As the saying goes-let nature takes its course. In fact this is how our body react to evade a more serios infection. Usually our system is able to take care of mild bacteria infection by purging out all the unwanted substances. Most of the times your GP will prescribe antibiotics to treat stomach infection. Somehow, the purging is not something that an antibiotics can stop immediately. I always feel that it is rather better for nature to take its course, as most of the times, antibiotics actually do more harms than good. Being an "anti-antibiotic" myself, I always prefer to resort to natural therapy such as the Traditional Chinese Medicine or Aryuverdic/Herbal Treatment for all types of infection. This also applies to the treatment of a diarrhea.
I have this wonderful family tip that my dad has passed it on to us. With my "accumulated years of experience", it has proven to be a very effective remedy to cure diarrhea. This concoction taste so nice that I swear you will surely have no problem in pestering your 3-year old to consume it. It is also very cheap and is easily available anywhere, anytime of the day (in 7eleven also got). The name for this magical concoction is "Coke"!! Don't drop your jaw, "Coke it is"!
When you encounter the first sign of diarrhea, i.e. non-stop purging, you will just need to drink this concoction by mixing a small pinch of salt in it (try to avoid drinking with ice please). The reason for the salt to be added is to put back some of the ions & trace minerals you lose during purging/vomiting as these are essential in bringing your body fluid back to the original balance. To prevent a dehydration, so to speak.
When pouring the soft drink from the can, it is advisable to tilt the can/bottle a bit to get rid of the gas(bubbles). In fact the salt will also help to get rid of the bubbles so that the gas it contains will not bloat our stomach causing "windy" after drinking it.
Always remember to sip the drink slowly. Believe you or not, the purging will stop after 1-2 hours and the stomach upset will be miraculously cured.
Another type of stomach upset which i have experienced before is a "gall bladder inflammation". I supposed it was due to over-indulgence in oily food. My GP again put in the same terminology "Gastroentrisis" in the medical chit. But I believe this is a more acute condition as I was down for a week.
This sort of infection is a more severe one and can be differentiated easily from the ordinary stomach upset. The stool initially is yellowing in colour and it gradually turns to whitish and sud-like subsequently. Usually the sign will start with an indigestion. If it is not settled down at this stage, all the symptoms such as fever, vomit and purging will start to manisfest within 1 to 2 days' time and it will last as long as no treatment is given. The feverish condition indicated a bacteria infection. To cure this type of purging, you can still drink some coke. However, accute gastroenteritis is not as simple as a can of coke can cure. Normally there will be pain near the upper stomach area. At times you can't tell where the pain is coming from as the whole stomach seems to be bloated and with burning sensation. Application of some medicated oil will mitigate the pain slightly.
One important point to note for this type of stomach upset is that you must stop completely any intake of food. Just drink fresh apple juice diluted with warm water. You can also conveniently substitute fresh apple juice with 100% pure apple juice from any organic stall. This is similar to a "juice fast".
Bear in mind that any food intake will usually be causing the purging again. So it is better to fast for 1-2 , but continue to drink the apple juice. Dont' worry, usually you will not have any appetite during this period as this is the natural way your body tend to react by making you lose the interest to makan to prevent further interruption to the healing process.
On the third day of the juice fast, if you regain your appetite, you may start with semi-solid food such as plain porridge. You may still purge a little bit until your system is completely healed, than the purging will stop. Don't be surprise when you notice that your stool turn to green colour(you are not an alien, alien got green blood and green stool also ka?). This is pretty normal as it is caused by the excretion of high concentration of bile juice (not apple juice). It becomes concentrated due to bile juice was not put in use for last 2 days (non-excreted during due to non-consumption of any oily food). This green stool thing will start when you start with food that contain some oil. But it will get back to normal after a day. If the stool colour is black, then it is advisable you get yourself admitted to do a endoscopy or stomach scan to rule out any unknown internal bleeding.
The apple juice fast method is also used by some people to get rid of gall stone. They will break the juice fast by consuming the extra virgin olive oil on the 3rd day morning (this method will be shared in a separate post).
The juice fast method is merely a suggestion for a mild gall bladder problem. If you experience an acute pain from the back, wait no more, as you may be suffering from a more sophisticated gall bladder or stomach (e.g. gall stone or appendicitis). You should quickly consult a specialist or get yourself admitted to avoid any further complication or the consequence is unwarranted!

Are you getting the right fit?
I went to a lingerie (this is pronounced as "lon-je-rie) warehouse sales recently and was amazed to see many women are still not aware of their actual bra size. Many always go for design and the look without considering that a "cute bra" may not be fitting for somebody with a fuller bust. And a size "G" need not necessary be for someone who is big size.
I had such misconception when i was in my teens and discovered the secret to a good bra when i was in early twenties. My advice to all my dear sisters and any XY Chromosome out there is you must always listen to your body as you know yourself better than the shop assistance whether the bra fits you comfortably or not.
First of all, you may want to check all the current bra you are wearing to determine if you are wearing a right bra. Signs of a bad fit are as follows:-

First of all, you may want to check all the current bra you are wearing to determine if you are wearing a right bra. Signs of a bad fit are as follows:-
- A saggy breast (A good bra will ensure that your breast do not succumb to the act of gravity easily. )
- Marks/Line on skin after prolonged wear (This may be due to the bra is too tight, material of the bra also makes a difference)
- Bulges (from breast) spilt out of the top or sides of the bra (Wrong cup-size)
- Bulges at the back (Wrong cup size)
- Straps fall off shoulders (This could happen when the strap loses its elasticity after wearing it for awhile. You need to get it adjusted)
- Underwires pinching your flesh.
- Your bosoms are squeezed to the middle (you may mistaken this as a push-up effect)
- Cups are not full, puckering or gapping.
Bear in mind that your bust size might change when:-
- You gain or lose 10 kg or more
- You start or stop an exercise program
- You get pregnant or have just given birth.
- You are expecting your period in 10-15 days time. It is not uncommon for some to experience breast engorgement due to hormonal changes
- You are going through menopausal years
Therefore, the bra that you are wearing now may not fit you all the time. However, one thing for sure is that if you are wearing a right bra, it will help to shape your bust and further enhance its contour. This is particularly important as a reminder for all the mommies out there. If you have a daughter in her puberty years. Make sure you get her a right bra to ensure a proper development of her bosoms.
It is no doubt that a woman's breast size is genetically predetermined but if we get the wrong fit, a genetically predetermined E-cup will only be developed into a C-cup if the development is suppressed with a tight fitting bra. What you get will be bulges at the back and the bust will tend to grow sideway resulting in a flatter chest. This is the same theory as somebody who is trying to grow a cube shaped water melon. Just let the melon grow into a glass cubes when it is small and when it grows a little bigger, it will be reshaped according to the cube. Can you imagine if you are treating your breast the same way as Japanese grow the water melon? Genetically, it is quite unlikely for Chinese to have boob size as large as Pamela Anderson however not all of us have chests as flat as an airport. Don't blame your mom, sometimes it is not the size does matter, but the bra..
In fact, good bra can do wonder. A good bra with the right design and good support will make a voluptuous bust look smaller. Whereas for small breasts, a demi bra help to lift and shape to create a illusion of voluptuousness.
When shopping for bra, two measurements needed: BAND size & CUP size
(1) BAND size is the circumference taken at ribcage, just below the breast or commonly known as underbust.
(2) CUP size - taken around the whole bust at the fullest point or commonly known as top bust. My understanding is that this measurement MINUS the BAND size and the differences will determine the various cup sizes.
Anyway, you can refer to the following table to find out the bra that best fits you by determining the correct cup and the correct size:
- You gain or lose 10 kg or more
- You start or stop an exercise program
- You get pregnant or have just given birth.
- You are expecting your period in 10-15 days time. It is not uncommon for some to experience breast engorgement due to hormonal changes
- You are going through menopausal years

|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
E.g. If your top bust is 81 cm and underbust is 69cm, the difference is 12cm. In this case, you should go for 70B.
After settling with the cup & size, it is also equally important to learn the techniques in putting on a bra to get a better fit. When putting on a bra, you must always bend over in letting your breast fall into the cups. Use your palm to push all the flesh from your back and the upper abdomen into the cup. The cups should contain your breast and centre your nipples in the fullest part. If it is too loose or too tight, adjust the straps and bands accordingly until it fits comfortably.
Sometime the cup size varies according to design and fabric. The fabric should lie flat on your breast bone. If it isn't, you may have to go one cup size bigger or smaller.
Believe me, a right fitting bra will help to improve blood circulation and will surely lift up your self confidence!
Dengue - optional remedy
Anna aka Ah Ying Jie..our line dance kawan's daughter in law is down with dengue since last week.
Also heard that the pegaga juice can be taken as a cure for dengue. In Cantonese it's called "pan sai woon" - for the smaller leaf version, bigger leaf version, called "pan tai woon". These leaves are similary crushed and pounded for their juice. They can be found at the wet market in BBSB or Taman Tun Dr Ismail
There is no known cure for dengue. The patient just have to wait for her/his body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. Sometime, this may leads to very life threatening stages.
When my eldest daughter contracted dengue in mid Mar '08(rite after the 1st term school holidays), she was adminted to Damansara Specialist. She was on drip 24/7. My mother in law boiled bitter gourd & chicken soup for her to help increased the white platelet counts. Unfortunately, even after the 3rd day, the platelet was still dropping.
Reading sumwhere from an onforwarded mail, that papaya leave juice can help, I plucked, washed and pounded 2 leaves to squeeze for the juice. Strain it with either muslin clothes or the normal coffee sieve. Do not boil or add water.
Gave her one Chinese soup (table) spoon on Day 3 evening. Surprisingly/fortunately (coincidentally?), the next day her platelet increased to 127 (from 83 the day before). Gave her one more dose and she was discharged the next day (Day 5) with platelet of 148..(normal min is 150)..
Please take/consume only one table spoon per day as this 'chlorophyll' drink is very cooling.
