10 reasons why infants are better off than adult


1. When they are tired from walking, they can always ask their parents
to carry them, or put them in stroller. So they wont suffer from leg
ache. Adults... U take care of yourself!

2. They can tie those funny hair style... But still look cute. If adults
tie them.. Most probably they will be classified as "nutcase"

3. Their only stress is when they have no milk. Adult have much more
things to stress about beside milk!

4. Milk is a delicacy to them. Adult will need abalone, etc... Expensive
stuff to be considered as delicacy.

5. They can hug and kiss any one they like. Adults then to be shy-er.

6. When they cry, everyone will hover around them and comfort. They are
the king/queen! When adult cry, they will get ignored and classified as
weak

7. They don't need to work/study. Adults need to work (stress!!)

8. They don't need to have headache over their dressing and heels.
Adults need to think of what to wear everytime they go out.

9. Their skin is sooo smooth and nice without makeup. Adults have
pimples, freckles....many many more...

10. They don't need to talk. Adults need to talk so much to get across
their point... And sometimes get argued back

I am sure there are many many other reasons why infants are luckier than
adult. These are the 10 which I can think abt right now.

Treasure the time as an infant.. You only get it ONCE.. So better not
miss out on the rollin good times! But I believe MOST of you... Have
already passed that stage. I can only say.....

Too bad.

i am a workaholic :(

Stories from the loo

I just came back from toilet...
Feeling bored.. So goin to toilet is 1 of my past time... Hehee

Anyway.. Wanna complain! Some people ar... So inconsiderate... I hate it
when I see "liquid" on the toilet seat. Why cant these people juz make
sure that the toilet seat is clean and dry when they left the toilet? U
know.. It is quite disgusting to clean up people's output... For
goodness sake, I am NOT a toilet cleaner leh!! 1 drop is still
acceptable... But I cant understand how some gers can make the whole
seat wet... What are they doing in the loo?????

Be considerate lah.. Make sure the cubicle is clean when you leave it..
So that the next person wont have to suffer...

And while I am tidying myself in front of the mirror... The AUTOMATIC
napkin dispenser AUTOMATICALLY dispensed the napkin again! That thing
has a sensor so u r supposed to wave your hand to the sensor so that it
will dispense the paper to u. A few occasion... While I am in the
toilet, the dispenser juz suddenly decide to dispense the paper. Why?
Did it sense SOMETHING?? Or is it not in good working condition...?
Eeeeeeeee! I hope it is bcoz of its working condition...

Useless treasures

Let me share with you the latest treasures I got last week... or is it last last week...? Anyway... have a look!



They look cute right? Well, at least to me.. THEY ARE CUTE!!!
Yes.. they are useless... how often do I need a notebook? And since they are so nice, would I bear to write on them? Nay.. i dont think so.. Bought them purely for admiration purposes.. hehe If only they wont turn yellow soon.. I am planning to acquire more of these cuties! hehee...




Where do I buy them?? I am not sure whether I want to share with so many of you. Wait you all snatch with me how??? I am selfish! When I am satisfied with all my purchases, then I tell you all ok? U will only get to buy the rejected ones by me... hehe
Ok lah... being Miss Nice.. let me give u a hint.. It's in Orchard ok?? Happy searching! hahaha

Bugs?!!??!?!!? Eeeeeee

I juz chased a bug out of my room... or did I? I dont know.. i think its out of my room already.. and I really hope so!

one insect that freak me out is.. yes... bugs! it may seems harmless and cute? to some people.. but not me... it's all because of that particular day..........

I remember few years back... a friendly bug flew into my room. At that time, I wasnt really afraid of them, but of course I wanna get rid of it. But I dont wanna smack it dead... so i hope i can juz chase it out.. without killing it.. but apparantly.. it doesnt want to leave me. Fine... then i saw the bottle of body spray on my table. Took it.. and spray on the bug. Hey i was thinking... body spray should be better than insecticide right??

I sprayed it.. and observed it.. Yes.. I am cruel.. I attempted murder and watch it die slowly.. how ever what I saw is something which still haunt me til now..... i saw it rubbing its eyes/face/front part/whatever. Then I suddenly feel so guilty, but what can I do? Help it to wipe off meh? No choice.. I continue to watch it.. (I think i kept apologizing to it that time leh). Then suddenly it flew up and pop... landed on my tee. Eeeeee.... then i tried to brush it off with something but it wunt get off me!!! finally... Gave it 1 hard brush... then.... then........ i think it died eventually....

Ever since that day, I got a feeling that all bugs wanna attack me. Whenever a bug appear in my house, it will fly towards me.

I think... that time the unfortunate bug.. may be the bug king/queen/ prince/ princess. My picture must be pasted in the bug world, declaring me as the WANTED MAN(Woman), just like Osama... They all want me DEAD! But but... I am really sorry mah... that time still young, dont know what.. dont blame me lah....

BUGS.... BUG OFF!!!!!

kindness begets kindness

Kindness goes a long way... Or rather... It will always be remembered..

Let me recall some kind moments I received from people....

I remembered while I was in taiwan last year.. We were searching for
this particular restaurant.. (FYI.. The streeets there are damn messy!
Coz they like to change the road names.. Address...etc). So we searched
all over the place for it.. But couldn't find it.. Then we approached
someone... A woman in her thirties.. We had the address from a book...
Being a taiwanese.. She wasn't even sure where that address is! And she
goes a long way.. She took out her mobile phone and try to call the
place for us...

This is so very kind of her. Eventually... The resturant had actually
closed down... Ya.. We didn't get to eat there... But her kindness stays
in my heart... I really appreciate people like her who makes the world a
much better place to live in...
Hope she is blessed!

So if you are reading this. Heed my advice... Help if you can.. You will
feel good after the thing, and also.. You will always be kept in the
heart...

Be kind!!! :)

Proud of Singapore!

Just read this from channelnewsasia... And im really proud! A local
production. Anway.. I DID watched the movie.. And I think its not bad...
Sgp movie standard is really improving! Hope there will be more good
news to our local scene!!!
Good luck!!

"Sian man... No mood work today"

"Sian man... No mood work today" is a very common phrase... Used by
me... Almost every other days..
Hehee.. People whom I talked to most probably will reply..." you
everyday also no mood one what!"

Wahaha... That is very true... I am wasting my precious time (and

don't know... Can some1 tell me? Why do human need to work? Why?? Life
is short... Shouldn't we be engaging in something which we really enjoy?

No way... We need the money for survival.. For pleasure.. Everything
needs money.. Hence we will need to work

friends don't avoid me... Juz take it as I am farting ok? hehee

Anyway..... it's Friiiidaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!

智成,你最棒!!


My idol posted this message yesterday.. kinda sad for him.. he must be feeling disappointed with his achievements.. or maybe the lack of it. But I think there's no need for him to feel that way. He's the 1 who can really sing.. maybe just dont have the X factor to appeal to the mass audience. Nevertheless, he has already won over a couple of his ardent fans.. eg ME! I will continue to give him my full support!

Hope he will continue to produce good music for us to enjoy. 智成, 加油!!! 一定要快乐!!

想念的力量
每次上網底一件事就是上官網, 這是一路來都沒有改變的習慣. 因為這是我生活的一部分, 就像我和華研唱片這接近5年的合約關係一樣.我想沒有任何一個凡夫俗子能避免群體生活, 就等于沒有一個人能獨自取得成功一樣.對我而言, 這幾年來最大的體悟是接受了一個事實, 也就是華人流行音樂是絕對依賴市場需求的.因此, 歌手的際遇是不由自主的, 也越來越不確定的. 就像2002開始被遊說半年發一張專輯理由是要乘勝追擊, 到了2005年2年半不出新唱片卻是為了等待好時機那麼的難以估計...所以我開始把我的快樂建立在我熱愛的歌唱和音樂上, 也因為這樣我想到我還有很多愛我的你們.我想我沒能力成為主導唱片市場的一份子了, 可是我還是一樣儘量快樂的過我的簡單生活. 我沒有想要怎麼樣, 可是我也絕對清楚自己的方向. 想告訴這個大家庭的大家, 我依然珍惜屬於我們的成長和快樂...


Jane@SGP 回應時間:2005/9/21 20:45 文章管理:刪除
智成。。非常开心你能和我们分享你感想,让我们更了解你。。。无论发生什么事,你都有我们的支持和爱戴。只要你知道你尽力了, 那就足够了。不必盲目地追寻不恰当的目标。只要做你想做的事,那也会很开心的。快乐也是简单得。。唱唱歌,和家人朋友在一起, 看看你的fans..好好地坚持你的方向, 我们都对你有信心。智成, 加油!!!
p/s: 依然在新加坡缓缓地等着你。。

My ZChen is online!!!!!





Finally!!! I managed to "meet" him... its now 4.58pm... and hes online!!!

Hello my beloved idol!!!! we are online same time!! whahahaha

sorry.. the pic is too small.. anyway.. see that small arrow? pointing to "zhi".. yes!!! zhi.... zhi cheng... zhang zhi cheng... wo de zhang zhi cheng!!! muahahahahaaa

*gone cuckoo once again*

張智成可以很快樂( and my answers:P)

My ZChen makes mooncake!


只要小小的願望達成,就是一種小快樂,張智成的快樂定義很簡單,但這個道理,卻並非人人想得通。懂得知足的人最快樂,可是說容易,要真正做到卻很難。如果你的人生旅途充滿順利,又或者做的事情都稱心如意,或許你會覺得這一刻你是最快樂幸福的人。對人氣天王張智成來說,何嘗不是呢?現時的他對快樂的解析是:看一場你想看的戲都可以很快樂。但是,對外人來說,如果可以像他這樣,有才華、有名利,或者才是最為快樂之人!著名的Proust Questionnaire(普魯斯特問卷)是由一系列問題所組成,問題包括受訪者的生活、思想、價值觀及人生經驗等。因著作《追憶逝水年華》而聞名的Marcel Proust並不是這問卷的始作俑者,但這份問卷卻因為他特別的答案而出名,並且在當年時髦的巴黎人沙龍中也頗為流行,因此后人將這份問卷命名為“Proust Questionnaire”。如今,e News邀請國內外藝人來回答這一問卷,看看他們如何看待人生的意義。回憶最美

◆還在世的人中你最輕視的是誰?
還好,我不敢看不起別人,因為我本身也是很平凡,來自貧窮家庭,慢慢爬上去,我只是比較不喜歡那種自暴自棄的人。( Me too!)

◆你過多使用的單詞或短語是什么?
死定了!每次遇到很擔心的事物及緊張時都會講死定了、死定了。 (me too.. hehe... and "alamak!" and "gugu!")

◆你最傷痛的事是什么?
兩年前外婆過世的時候,那時很傷心,不過也很欣慰她去得很平靜。 (nothing i can recall at the moment..)

◆你這一生中最愛的人或東西是什么?
家人跟朋友;東西嘛,還沒有找到。其實我沒有一樣東西是可以捉到很緊,除了照片囉,我以前的照片、剪報,我會常拿出來看,我想我最愛是我的記憶,因為它讓我回想起很多事情,有快樂、感傷。(my family too! and of course my true friends. As for things... hmmm.. i like books..diamond... nice music, tv... many many things...)

◆何時是你生命中最快樂的時刻?
童年,這樣比較起來,我覺得是童年,因為我幾乎沒有想到我童年有什么不快樂的事,我覺得童年都是很開心,就玩玩玩,很懷念。小時候的我不頑皮,都是跟著哥哥去玩,就玩泥沙,玩捉蜻蜓,用線綁著它的尾巴給它飛,好像放風箏一樣。 ( there are many happy moments for me.. especially when I am with my family and friends and my loved ones... Ok, 1 of the happiest moment is when I get to take a picture with my idol.. ZChen! thats one of my fave possession now too! hehee)

◆你最希望擁有哪種才華?
我從小就很嚮往自己會彈鋼琴,可是我沒有去學,我怕會像我學過吉他后就不愛吉他了,因為我沒有耐心,漸漸的對吉他沒有感覺,可是我對鋼琴還是很有感覺,因為我還不會,所以我會保留這個空間。 ( I would really love to be able to write great songs. Be smarter..)

◆你認為你最偉大的成就是什么?
我對自己能堅持在這么多張自己的專輯裡,還是選唱很多馬來西亞的創作、在這裡錄音,這是最開心的事,但這不算什么偉大,我也不覺得自己有什么偉大的成就,只是覺得有些光榮。 ( to be what I am now.. nothing much is achieved yet)

◆如果你能選擇的話,你希望讓什么重現?
青春!哈哈哈……想變回年輕。因為跟廿幾歲的朋友一起,會覺得跟他們思想不一樣,會老是回想以前的我是不是也是這樣的呢?我相信我40歲就不會這樣想,現在我32歲,感覺體力沒有以前好啦,有很多東西都會想如果早一點做就好囉。青春流逝 (me too.. youth! then I will be able to treasure my youth and do things which I really want to)

◆你認為最理想的快樂是怎樣的?
最理想的快樂應該是簡單的,很容易就獲得的。譬如說在日常生活中可以捕捉得到,可能是你今天要去買一雙鞋子,結果你真的買到一雙很喜歡的鞋子,你就會很快樂。有很多事情是我們期待的,可是最后卻是失望,如果很小的事情都可以滿足到我們,我覺得那就是一種很長遠的快樂,就不要一直強求,到一個階段就好了。 ( ya.. same here... to lead a simple life... yet to have everything that is necessary without worries, and to have my family and good friends forever with me)

◆你最害怕的是什么?
蛇囉!我從小到大都很怕蛇,我覺得那種沒有腳一條的東西很恐怖。 (Losing my family)

◆還在世的人中你最欽佩的是誰?
很多,都是跟音樂有關的,像外國的有Stevie Wonder、芭芭拉史翠珊、林憶蓮、李宗盛,高爾夫球手Tiger Woods……,總之有卓越成就的人我都很佩服他。 ( hmm... no1 in particular)

◆你自己的哪個特點讓你覺得最痛恨?
矮囉!因為身邊的人老是埋怨我新衣、褲子都要改啦,然后怎樣怎樣,高一點就好了,可是有時也很難的啦,175你就想180,180又想188,我現在不到170cm!( to be slimmer!)

◆你最痛恨別人的什么特點?
遲到,因為我沒有耐心等人,試過最高紀錄等朋友兩三個小時,結果?在那兩三個小時裡我一直咀咒他,待他到了還一直埋怨他。 (not being sincere and truthful towards others)

◆你最奢侈的是什么?
我不奢侈……我的青春吧!我有時可以在家裡兩天一直看電視,我覺得我一直不斷地在消耗我的青春,可是我不介意它流失。 ( dont know what the question is asking.. hehe)

◆你認為哪種美德是被過高評估的?
創作吧!因為我覺得現在已沒有所謂的創作,只有“寫歌”,因為人成長就是學習、模仿、調整,我們沒有創造,譬如我寫《快樂》這首歌,可能是因為我很久以前就聽過《分分鐘需要你》,所以我才會寫到一首很類似《分》的一首歌。 (Dont know...)

◆你對自己外表的哪一點最不滿意?
牙齒。從小到大,我的牙齒都很脆弱,像新長的牙齒,它很快就變黃,我又沒吸煙、又不喝咖啡,可能天生我的骨骼沒有那么好吧,所以它很容易就壞,我就要很辛苦去保養我的牙齒。我也有想過去漂白,但醫生說我的牙齒是不能漂白,因為它天生就黃,唯一可以做的就是換掉它,磨小戴牙套,那個很貴,做完整副牙齒要卅多千令吉,很多人都有弄,我也有一隻。想做就做 (my big face.. haha. Hey i have yellow teeth too.. but i like Z's teeth.. i think they look cute! Mine is worse. The edges are zigzag.. juz like a saw.. i think it will be very painful if i bite u!)

◆你最珍惜的財產是什么?
聲音。很老土哦?但是真心話。我覺得唱歌為我帶來很多很多很奇妙的人生,如果我沒唱歌,我不知道我現在會做什么,就不會有這樣多每天飛來飛去的機會,我是很享受到處走的人,雖然有時會飛到自己都傻了,可是很開心。所以我看到有些歌手倒嗓,我也很擔心自己會這樣,所以我很注意我的聲音。保養的秘方就是對它好一點,不要過份用它,如果那一天講話很多,會多喝水,不要去太吵的地方,讓自己靜一點。 ( the presents my mama gave me, the watch, the pendant..)

◆你認為程度最湹耐纯嗍鞘裁矗?
失戀。我覺得失戀的那種痛苦是我們人最難控制但又是最膚湹模驗槟潜緛砭筒皇菍儆谀愕臇西,但是你一直想擁有它,在得到又失去后,就覺得好像失去全世界一樣,那是最膚湹臇西。 (yes.. i think being disappointed in love.. is very sad....)

◆你最喜歡的職業是什么?
我最喜歡服務人,就是人家有麻煩找我去幫忙的那種,當歌手也有一點帶服務人群的性質囉! ( yes.. nice customer service people are really nice. being a singer is not bad too... secretary is not bad too!)

◆你本身最顯著的特點是什么?
碎碎唸。我很愛唸,朋友、家人、同事,都會被我唸,他們都知道我這個毛病,我那些認識很久的朋友一看到我又要開始唸了就會閃人。 (having moodswings)

◆你最喜歡男性身上的什么品質?
風度,這方面我還不夠,因為有時候我的情緒和脾氣會影響我的風度。 (yes.. i agree... men shd be gentlemen! that is then call a man!)

◆你最喜歡女性身上的什么品質?
嫵媚。很有女人味的女生很吸引我,有時看選美,一些有特別韻味的佳麗就特別喜歡,還有曾經讓我欣賞的是劉嘉玲,曾經做夢夢到的女人就是她! (gentle... women shd be gentle... hehe)

◆你最看重朋友的什么特點?
聽我唸,就是很願意聽我講話的人,我會很欣賞他,哈!還有那些在我身邊很久的朋友,能夠接受我、包容我。 (to be understanding and to give without limits. Must be sincere)

◆你希望以什么樣的方式死去?
我希望在睡夢中死去,沒有痛苦,但很難哦?我又想轟轟烈烈的死掉,讓很多人記得! ( me too.. i wanna die in my sleep.. when im old and have experienced life enough. I dont bear to leave my family now!)

◆你的座右銘是什么?
想做就去做,因為時間不留人!(Be happy everyday, no matter what!)

Migraine..... aarrgghh

This article can help you to understand me more.... And for me to remind
myself!

What is Migraine?

For most people migraine is a great deal more than just a headache. It
can be a debilitating condition which has a huge impact on the quality
of life of sufferers and their families.

If you have two or more of the following symptoms during an attack it is
probable that you are suffering from migraine.

*Visual disturbances including blind spots, distorted vision, flashing
lights or zig zag patterns. These symptoms, often called an aura are
most often identified with migraine but in fact only about 10% of
sufferers experience them. Migraine with aura is often called classical
migraine.

*Intense throbbing headache, often on one side of the head only.
*Nausea and/or vomiting and/or diarrhoea.
*Increased sensitivity to light (photophobia)
*Increased sensitivity to sounds (phonophobia)
*Increased sensitivity to smells (osmophobia)
You may also experience stiffness of the neck and shoulders, tingling or
stiffness in the limbs, an inability to concentrate, difficulty in
speaking, or in very rare cases paralysis or loss of consciousness.

A general rule of thumb is that if a headache and/or other associated
symptoms prevent you from continuing with normal daily activities it
could be a migraine.

Migraine attacks normally last between 3 and 72 hours and sufferers are
usually quite well between attacks.

What Causes Migraine?

Migraine is believed to be caused by changes in the neurotransmitters
and blood vessels in the brain but exactly what causes these changes is
still a subject for research and debate. However certain factors have
been identified which can trigger attacks in susceptible people:

*Stress (or sometimes the relief of stress).
*Lack of food or infrequent meals.
*Certain foods including products containing monosodium glutamate,
caffeine, tyramine or alcohol.
*Overtiredness (physical or mental).
*Changing sleep patterns (e.g. weekend lie ins, sleeplessness or shift
work).
*Hormonal factors (e.g. monthly periods, the contraceptive pill, HRT or
the menopause).
*Extreme emotions (e.g. anger, grief etc.).
*Physical activity.
*Environmental factors (e.g. loud noise, bright or flickering lights,
strong perfumes, hot stuffy atmosphere, VDUs etc.).
*Climatic conditions (e.g. strong winds, extreme heat or cold).
For most people there is not just one trigger but a combination of
factors which individually can be tolerated but when several occur
together a threshold is passed and an attack is triggered.

Although it can be helpful to identify and avoid your own personal
trigger factors it is important not to become too obsessive.

Everyone has the capacity to suffer from migraine but for around 10% of
the population, most probably because of a genetic predisposition, the
threshold at which attacks occur is lower. It has been proven that there
is no "migraine type" and sufferers are not, as is sometimes suggested,
neurotic, perfectionist hypochondriacs who bring all their problems on
themselves nor even, as has also been suggested, that they are super
intelligent or extra sensitive. Although twice as many women as men
suffer from migraine because of the involvement of hormonal factors,
migraineurs come from all walks of life, all areas of the world and
ethnic groups, and all social classes.


How does Migraine affect the lives of sufferers?

Migraine is not a life threatening condition but it can have a
substantial impact on quality of life with far reaching effects on the
lives of sufferers and their families.

Migraine is a much-misunderstood condition. Sufferers can be regarded as
malingerers, hypochondriacs or self obsessed neurotics. Because there is
no test for migraine (diagnosis depends on careful history taking) and,
outside an attack, there are no obvious external signs of the condition,
a sufferer can offer no absolute proof of his/her condition. A broken
arm can attract a great deal of sympathy but may not cause as much pain
as a single migraine attack.

As migraine patients are normally quite well between attacks
non-sufferers often find it difficult to understand how they can
suddenly become so severely debilitated. Comments such as "but you were
fine yesterday" are common. This factor also makes migraine an excellent
excuse for the unscrupulous who do true sufferers a great disservice.

The unpredictably of migraine can cause disruption to family, social and
working life. As a result sufferers often feel that they are letting
everyone down. They become afraid to make plans or take on
responsibilities and are in fear of when the next attack will strike.
The support and understanding of family, friends and working colleagues
is vital.

Migraine can put a strain on even the happiest of relationships. However
understanding and supportive a partner may be their patience can be
tried when another outing is cancelled or they have to "take over" yet
again. Children can become upset and confused when a parent is ill and
older children can be very intolerant when plans have to be changed at
short notice. It can sometimes be more distressing to see someone you
love in pain and feel helpless to alleviate it than to experience it
yourself.

Employers can regard migraine sufferers as a bad risk. This is unfair
as, due to the unpredictability of their condition, migraineurs are
often well organised and conscientious.

Unfortunately some members of the medical profession also lack
understanding and sympathy. Some sufferers do not receive the support
that they need from their GP and are sometimes refused drugs that can
bring them significant relief.

Is there a cure for migraine?

Although there is, as yet, no miracle cure for migraine it is possible
to bring your condition under control There are now a wide range of
treatments available which can be very effective but migraine is a
complex condition and a treatment which is successful for one patient
may have no effect on another. It is therefore important to persevere
until you develop a management plan which works for you.

Perhaps the first stage in understanding and managing your migraine is
to keep a diary to try to identify your trigger factors. You may find
that an identifiable pattern emerges and that by making a few minor
changes to your diet or lifestyle you can reduce the frequency and/or
severity of your attacks.

Around 60% of migraine sufferers have never consulted their doctor about
their migraine either because they "don't like to bother him/her" or
they believe that nothing can be done to help them or that a treatment
he/she prescribed in the past did not help and they have not bothered to
go back. There are many treatments now available and new products are
introduced very frequently. Your doctor and your pharmacist are
important allies in your battle against migraine and their advice and
support can be invaluable.

Many people treat their migraine with simple pain killers purchased from
the chemist. These can be very effective, especially if taken very early
in the attack. It is important to take pain killers quickly as, during
an attack, gastric stasis can occur and medication cannot then be
absorbed from the gut into the blood stream. Pain killers taken in
soluble form or tablets taken with a sweet fizzy drink can start to work
more quickly.

For sufferers who experience nausea and vomiting painkillers combined
with an anti-sickness ingredient can be helpful.

If remedies purchased from your chemist are not bringing you significant
relief your doctor can prescribe stronger pain killers or painkillers
combined with anti-sickness ingredients.

Ergotamine can be effective in aborting migraine attacks and many
sufferers have found it helpful but it is now less frequently prescribed
because of fears about its addictive potential.

There are also drugs which act directly to correct the serotonin
imbalance in the brain during a migraine attack. These are available on
prescription only and are not suitable for all patients.

Acute treatments are available in a variety of different forms including
tablets, capsules, powders, suppositories, injections, nasal spays and
inhalers. It may be beneficial to try a treatment in another form.

If your attacks are very frequent your doctor may prescribe preventative
medication which you will need to take every day.

These treatments sometimes take a while to show any benefit and seldom
eliminate attacks entirely so you will also need an effective compatible
acute treatment for breakthrough attacks.

Non drug treatments and self help measures can also be very beneficial:

Relaxation can be extremely beneficial both in preventing attacks and
helping to cope with the pain.
Eat regularly to keep blood sugar levels stable (no longer than 3 hours
between food during the day or 12 hours overnight).
Take sensible breaks from work, especially if you use a VDU or if your
work is repetitive and/or stressful.

Regular exercise can be beneficial

Herbal remedies, specially tinted glasses, dental splints, devices that
emit electronic impulses, magnetic devices, homeopathy, acupuncture,
chiropractic and various methods of encouraging relaxation have also
been helpful for some people.

Migraine is a complex and individual condition and it is important to
persevere until you find the right treatment or combination of
treatments which works for YOU.

Many migraineurs now live completely normal lives free from attacks
because they have learned to control their condition.

Two bloggers charged under Sedition Act for racist remarks

I better keep my mouth SHUT! :X

SINGAPORE : For the first time in Singapore, two bloggers have been
charged under the Sedition Act for making racist remarks.

They are 25-year-old Nicholas Lim Yew and 27-year-old Benjamin Koh Song
Huat.

A subordinate court was told that both their blogs had content that cast
aspersions on the Malay community.

This sparked off a heated discussion online.

Both men are out on bail of S$10,000 each.

The case will be heard again on September 21.

A person is deemed to have committed an offence under the Sedition Act
if he does, or conspires with any person to do, any act which has a
seditious tendency.

It is also an offence to utter any seditious words or to print, publish,
sell, distribute, reproduce or import any seditious publication.

Among others, a seditious tendency is defined under the Act as one to
raise discontent or disaffection among the citizens or residents and to
promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between different races or
classes of the population of Singapore.

First time offenders can be fined up to S$5,000 or jailed up to three
years or both fined and jailed.

For subsequent offences, they can be jailed up to five years and have
their seditious publications forfeited and destroyed. - CNA /ct

很想你


Utterly touching song....
Enjoy.... if you can read Chinese! haha


张智成-很想你

你在哪里
这些年来如意不如意
还快乐
还单纯
还美丽
时光如何对你
我在这里
人海中的一座岛屿
很平静
风平浪静
只除了深夜里
回忆会疯狂来袭

我很想你
你知道吗
如果可以就让我再见
你美好微笑
清澈眼睛
好确定那持离只毁了我一个而已
我很想你
听见了吗
这是唯一我无解的困境
那些过去不肯过去
不管我后来遇见多少人
只能叹息
都不是你

我在哪里
你会不会偶尔好奇
有没有曾经怀疑
我说我会忘记
只是种好意

我很想你
你知道吗
如果可以就让我再见
你美好微笑
清澈眼睛
好确定那持离只毁了我一个而已
我很想你
听见了吗
这是唯一我无解的困境
那些过去不肯过去
不管我后来遇见多少人
只能叹息
都不是你
我只想爱你

贴身情人

一个人坐在地铁等候
美丽的轮廓少了些笑容
为谁心痛
你只要摇头不说
我已经在身边站了好久
你却从来不曾经留意过我
当你难过
我是最好的听众

也曾想过有一天
你会突然转身发现我
从此在世界上
少了两个人寂寞

Translation again!

The background music you are hearing is called "Chong Fan Ji Mo",
translated into English means... "Repeat/Revisit/Returned to Lonliness"(
I think..).
It is roughly about this fellow... Kena disappointed in love AGAIN. And
he has resigned to fate...
Of course, its another of my Zchen's song! Nice!!! ;)

Anyway... Another translated lyrics for you. Pretty nice and touching!
hehe

==============================================================
Laughter stuffed into dreams
Memories moved to the side
Tidied up the laughters and tears of yesterdays
My heart is back at its empty place

Everything is cleaned as before
You came
You changed
You left
Now only left undeniable missing you
It's still not settled

If life want to use a dream to compensate my long wait
But that need not be so beautiful
That I thought it's all real

Maybe should returned lonliness
Cos only lonliness will love me forever
Maybe should embrace emptiness
Only emptiness will cry with me
From today
I will choose silence
Choose to accept my fate

If life want to use a dream to compensate my long wait
But that need not be so beautiful
That I thought it's all real

Maybe should returned lonliness
Cos only lonliness will love me forever
Maybe should embrace emptiness
Only emptiness will cry with me
From today
I will choose silence
Choose to accept my fate
Choose to follow the lonely emptiness

Hello!!!
Havent been blogging for a few days... Anyone miss me??? Hehhe
Oh pls don't..... I am here now lah....*wink*

Hmmm.... This morning.... On the bus.. I kept my eyes open...lookin at
the big big BIG houses along Holland Road area..... Wow..... Now then I
realised these houses are HUGE!!! They are sooooo big!!
(hehe... Never really take notice of the houses... Coz normally will be
trying to sleep on the bus)

How come these people live in such houses?? I am really curious...

1: who are living inside?
2: what is their occupation?
3: what do the people do with such spaces?
4: how much is their monthly salary?!

My god man... Some are 3 storeys... And ttheir area is huge... With
parking space... And swimming pool.. And garden... Oh man! How does it
feel to live in such a big house???

Anyone reading this live in such a house? If so... Can invite me for an
excursion? I am really curious abt the interior of the house... What is
inside!

Anyway... Such a big house... I wonder whether it will lose its
warmth.... Every1 is like so spaced out apart.... Is it nice to live in
such BIG houses?

Hehe.... A case of sour grape! :P

emptiness

Feeling kinda blues....

why?

I don't know...

Maybe it's the rainy weather?
Maybe it's PMS (pre monday symptons) again?
Maybe it's something that I read which doesnt really agree with my heart?
Maybe it's because of you?

I just feel very empty. I don't like this kinda feeling... I want to be happy for every minute of my life.

What is wrong?
Hope the dark clouds will get away from my life soon... REAL SOON.. like 5 minutes later....

p/s i think i better start reading my happiness secret boook again..
