Life????

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Life? What is the meaning of life. If any of you remembered the movie ‘Forest Gum’, you will remember that there is one sentense in the movie stating that Life is like a box of chocolate. Why? Because life is like the chocolate in the box. there are a lot of varieties in there and you won’t know what you will get under all the coated chocolates. Isn’t it interesting?

Well some people may say that life is normally means our present being here on earth, but this may be generalized to include life as a particular type of organization and development characterizing biological organisns, and even more universally as organization and development in geneneral.

But to me, life is like a challenge and a mystery. You won’t know what will happen tomorrow or even the next minute in the day. Everything is just like a mystery and it’s a challenge for us in order to prepare us every minute just to face with the things in front of us.

Well, i always have this policy in carrying on with my life, which is, live your life everyday like there is no tomorrow.Just enjoy every minute that you have and live it fully. Try to look everything at the positive side, and it will make you a happier and better person.

Just before a baby is born, an angel shows it everything there is to know and learn on Earth.Then at the moment of birth,the angel touches the infant’s upper lip,and the child forgets everything. We spend the rest of our lives remembering what the angel showed us.This is a generic guide to the meaning of life. It does not describe one view of the meaning of life and recommend you adopt it. It helps you remember what the angel showed you. The angel showed you the meaning of life. In case you have not remembered yet, here is what the angel showed you. Just exactly as if you are landing a spaceship from another galaxy, your soul enters your body and lands here on Earth. Perhaps you come from our of nowhere, out of nothingness. Or else you had a previous existence somewhere,in another realm, or in this realm, and you have forgotten it. Perhaps you land here of your own free choice. Or some cosmic force some karma beyond you causes you to land on this planet; and you have no choice.No matter.This is Earth. You land and stay for a while. You come here to do certain specific things. You may have one task or many. Your tasks may be obvious to you, or you may need time, effort, maybe struggle, even to clarify your tasks. You may never quite even clarify your task until the moment your time in this body ends. You may work on your task for years before you realize, "This is my task." This tasks you came to perform may take the whole of your life or be done in an instant. You may be aware you are performing your life task while you do it. You may perform your task quickly, hardly nothicing anything special, unaware you are doing the task you came to do while you do it. Your task may be so eary, obvious and natural, you never even wonder, "what is my task?" your unique blend of talents and interests may lead you to your task and you just do it. Or, your task may be a constant, unpleasant struggle, you fight every step of the way. Your task may be noble and wonderful and gain you recognition, rewards and honors. Or, it may be simple, totally unnoticeable by anyone else. You will be born with a powerful innate desire to remain alive. You will do almost anything to continue living. At some point you may discover some limits, and allow your life to end. 

Every thought you have. Every action you take, Every feeling you perceive is an experience. Experiences are neither good nor evil. Some experiences are short, some are long. Some experiences will be fun, others will be excruciating. Sometimes experiences seems interconnected, sometimes they seem random. They are simply experiences.

You will find deities to which to attach your greatest fears and devotions. You may have one god or many. You may learn about your god and gods from others, or you may experience them yourself. Your gods may be attached specificaly to your tribe or they may claim a wider domain. Your god may be projections of human experience or they may be something beyond human experience with a reality all their own.

Thos who knew you will recall who you were, what you did, what you gave and the qualities you manifested. If you physically parented another, your genetic material will continue within them as well. Others’ remembering you will continue to affect them directly and the whole planet indirectly and the whole planet indirectly in subtle and not so subtle ways.

But no matter what you do, always remember to live fully and put all the worries at the back, and your life will be full of excitement and happiness.

What do you know about Hair Loss?

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

I came through an article recently about Hair loss, and i think this is really useful for some of us. Cause i think even i am having the same problem now. That is why i have to cut my hair short, cause we tend to loss a lot of hair living in this environment and polution. A high number of young womena dn men are experiencing hair loss, accoring to a survey done. Anyways, what is it about? let read and learn.

The general term ‘ hair loss’ can refer to amny different problems from mild hair thinning to total baldness, and these can occur for many different reasons. A consultant explains that hair loss can occur as thinning when the hair loss is diffuse and gradual. Hair loss is more common problem than is usually believed. that is what i think, cause it seems that most of us are facing with the problem now.

According to a study, hair loss can cause by genes and also stress factor.

Genes

Generally, men and womens’ hair loss are the consequence of he type of genes they inherited from either or both parents. Our genes influence how our hair grows. They activate sensitivity to angrogens(male hormones) including testosterone, which causes hair follicles to shrink. The shrinking follicles (the sheath that surrounds the root of a hair) produce thinner hair.

According to the doctor, the most common cause of hair loss in both men (90 percent) and women (70 percent) is androgenetic alopecia (often called inherited or herediatary hair loss by non- medical people). The condition is the result of the effect of androgens (male hormones) on the hair follicles and the pattern of response is genetically determined. All females have some androgens as well, and thus this condition occurs both in males and females.

In men, hair loss usually appears initially as a receding front hair line on the forehead or a balding patch on the top of the head. In femals, however, the manifestation is different- ths hair loss takes the form of verall thinning throughout the scalp… man this is really scarry!!!!!! Cause my mom side have this genes problem, and man, i hope i won’t get it from them… Anwyays, just cross my fingers that i have my fathers genes, so that my hair will always be thick . heheeh, am i asking too much…

The stress factor

Stress is a common reason for a special king of hair loss, which is known as ‘Telegon effluvium’. Dont ask me what this mean, cause i just got it from the magazine.  Anyways, what happens is that the hair growth cycles will go into a state of rest when you are under stress, such as undergoing a recent surgery or having severe illness or high fever. You may lose a lot of hair six weeks to three months after severe physical or emotional stress but the hair usually will grow back withing a few months.

So for those people who have these problems, it is prudent to consult a doctor to get a clinical assessment and diagnosis before embarking on appropriate treatment.

OK, this is direct from the magazine, i think it is really useful for most of us who wants some advise with the problem.

According to a Doctor, treatment of hair loss is often obscured by myths. There are countless products and techniques such as exotic herbs or scalp massage that have never been proven in sound clinical trials. The only topical medicine proven scientifically to be effective for genetic hair loss is minosidil, which is applied to the scalp and works by revitalizing hair follicles so that they continue to grow hair.

So mate, hope all these information helps…….

Cameron Highland Trip

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

Went to cameron highland with the CG members during last week’s vesak day holiday. It was fun actually. We started our trip by Francis picking me up from my house at 5.50am and we all reach Calvin’s place to meet the others. It took us nearly 4 hours for the whole trip from KL to camerons.Agnes, francis and Shirley and I was in one car, and i am sorry Francis, in making you drive the whole way. Cause basically Shirley and I was knocked out and we nearly slept the whole trip up to cameron. Joy’s parents was such darlings and we should said thank you to them. They actually let 13 of us to bump into their apartment in Tanah Rata. And i personally appreciate what they have done with the place. They purposes prepare all the new pillows and others stuffs for us in order to hope that we will enjoy our trip. There are really nice. The first day, we didn’t really do much, put we spend sometime in having tea and spend sometime talking. The first day was nothing much, cause it was raining and we didn’t manage to go to any places. But anyways, at night we decided to go to Bringcang for Steamboat and also manage to buy a lot of vegetables for the next day’s meal. Anyways, i can’ really remember what is the name of the steamboat place. But all i can remember is that was the first shop in the row. And guys… never go there, cause all of us pay 13 ringgit plus in getting small portion food. When i said small portion food, i mean it. All of us was really dissapointed, but i think we can’t complain isn’t it. But i think the most important part is that we are able to enjoy the dinner in a group.

The next morning, we went to this really cool mamak store in Tanah Rata to wait for Calvin to arrive. Food there was delicious. Me and Joy had this really nice cheese and also Garlic naan, and we tried some of the tandoori and curry chicken. It was heaven. Anyways, all of us enjoyed the meal and it was just wonderful. Well we manage to go to some place that day and i think some of us manage to buy some things.

Well the night dinner didn’t turn out great as we planned. We had steamboat atJoy’s place. Yes, steamboat again. Heh i am not bored, cause i think that is still the best thing to enjoy in a cold weather. Well things went out of hand, and i was quite sad also. But well, i think things like that do happens, but just said that all of us learned a good lesson and help us in understanding each other more.

BUt heh, Joy, i just wanted to say, thank you for the hospitality and please help to say thanks to your parents in putting the effort to prepare all the things in the place for us. I am sorry that we screwed up a bit of things. But i think we all now understand and just hope that things will be well in future.

Happy holidays mates. Cheers
