Birthday Party

I cant remember when was the last time i had a birthday party. I went to one yesterday. But it was my dog's birthday party. My dog's name is Xiao Bai. His mum is Chloe and his dad in Rex. Both of them produced 12 offsprings !!!!!! And Xiao Bai is one of them. It was a cold chilly afternoon, but it was great to see xiao bai's siblings...there are bonnie, barnie, lola......couldnt remember the rest. But the most interesting thing is....XIAO BAI IS THE BIGGEST !!! Everyone said he is overweight..but i defended Xiao Bai all the way. He has large build...but is genetic. Plus he has fluffy hair...so he looks big. Anyway..picture speaks a thousand words

Synchronize

You heard of Synchronize Swimming. You heard of how to Synchronize your mobile or pocket PC. Have you ever heard of Synchronize suicide ????

Read this:-

Five people died and two were injured in a day of suicide jumps from high-rise buildings in Hong Kong .

Police said Sunday four of those who jumped were suspected suicides while three were still being investigated.

All the incidents took place between 2 am and 7:30 pm Saturday and were unrelated.

Of those believed to have jumped to their deaths two men, aged 48 and 49, were known to have mental problems.

The youngest to have died was a 16-year-old girl who was certified dead after jumping from the 22nd floor of a building, while the oldest was a 86-year-old man, who is also believed to have jumped.

Three cases are still under investigation: an 81-year-old woman who died, and a 17-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman both of whom were taken to hospital after being found unconscious after falling from high buildings.

Jumping from high-rise buildings is the most common form of suicide in the former British colony, followed by inhalation of poison fumes from burning charcoal.

Around 1,000 people committed suicide in Hong Kong in 2007 - about three a day.

Spider attack

This is what happening to our world:

-global warming
-rising fuel price

-terrorist attack

and.... spider invasion!!!!


A family in England are refusing to return to their home because a spider's set up camp there, according to reports.

The BBC's news website says Lorraine Griffiths and her three children have moved out of their house in Colchester in Essex to avoid coming into contact with the creature, thought to be a camel spider.

It's believed the spider was brought over in a kitbag from Afghanistan by Mr Griffith, who was serving a tour of duty there.

An RSPCA spokeswoman confirmed they had visited the house but failed to locate the creature.

The spokesman was quoted as saying, "If it is the spider they believe it is, then normally they don't attack humans, but they could give a painful bite."

Mrs Griffiths says it was seen in her bedroom by her two teenage children, and by an electrician

I know my blog is kinda boring. No flashy title, no colourful pictures (or words)....only some copy-and-paste articles.

Well, gimme some time...i am learning how to make this thingy interesting. The first 2 post are just appetizers. I was actually thinking of putting an article about this study in Germany which i read yesterday morning. Unfortunately i couldnt trace it back. Was this research that the German did - the title was something like - 'car heat could lower sperm count'

Basically it was about these lunatic scientist who somehow managed to measured someone's scrotum temperature (imagine someone stopped u in a highway and said 'may i measure your groin temperature please?') . The conclusion was, some scrotum would heat up till like 37.9 !!! And if your sperm is 'hot'...there will be less viable/ideal sperm. Sorry guys, i tried to find the article again but i really couldnt find it again. I didnt make this up.

Anyway, another article i would like to share with you guys :- This is the article i have always wanted someone to write. Man are NOT bad and NOT all man are bad. And to my surprise there are still few good men out there. I copy and paste the entire article and some comments which will boost our (man) ego.

I want to tell you a secret. It's something I'm deeply proud of yet also ashamed of. It's about being a man and about being less of one. It defines who I am while it defies who I am. It's a dichotomy that's difficult for even me to understand.

How I feel about this secret depends on who I'm with. Alone, or with my wife and family, I feel pride. But with other men - co-workers, drinking mates - I'm often embarrassed. Even though it's been 23 years, I've never admitted this to anyone - not even my wife. Then again, I'm sure she's never seriously doubted me and will not be surprised by what I confess.

My secret is that for almost a quarter century, I've been faithful. Although I've lusted after many women, I've never slept with one, or left even a lingering kiss on a pair of expectant lips. I am successful. I am fit. I have money. I dress well and no, I'm not ugly. Yes, I've had opportunities. Yet...

That's me you've seen in those sports-bar crowds, clinking pint glasses and clapping shoulders at sexual innuendo. That's me you've overheard commenting on the foxy new intern. Yes, I think about it. Yet...

Those surveys that reveal how many husbands cheat on their wives (and vice versa), I've considered them all. I've been tempted by the idea that monogamy is outdated. Yet...

And of course there's the blandness of the long-term relationship: seeing her in trackies scrubbing the toilet. Running out of things to say over dinner. Making love in the same position in the same room at the same time year after year. I crave excitement and variety. Yet...

...I've never cheated. And I haven't admitted it because, well, men typically don't do that. No matter how sensitive we'd like you to believe we've become, our brother-cliques still rely on bravado and conquest for acceptance. The minute we confess to not being on the chase, to turning our backs on our genetic drive to procreate, our gorilla chests start to shrink. It may sound small-minded, but that's the way it is, at least in my world.

So why it is that I've never wandered? I have a few ideas.

I've never met a perfect 10

A colleague once told me: "If you're going to cheat, do it with a perfect 10. Because when you get caught - and eventually you will - you'll need to look back without regret." I always thought that was good advice.

My ankle hurts in the morning

In his book Letters to My Son, Kent Nerburn ($24.95, New World Library) equates temptation with the time he broke his left leg: "Whenever I feel a surge of attraction to a woman, I think of that leg... Being unfaithful snaps a relationship as surely as that fall snapped my bone. At first, it may seem like nothing. Over time, you may be able to mend the break so that the relationship is stronger than ever. But it is not healed. The scar remains and it will haunt you forever." I haven't broken

I'm drawn to a particular type

Whenever I'm attracted to another woman, I ask myself why. Usually it's because she's tall, slim, brunette, amply endowed, vivacious, witty, and kind. These are all qualities my wife has. It's made me realise that I'm naturally drawn to one type of woman. Why cheat with her twin?

I love my wife's gnarly feet.

I once read an article by a bloke who cheated. Waking up next to his one-night stand, he immediately noticed her feet. They had been tucked into sexy black pumps the night before, but now they appeared big and manly and even had corns. He was so disgusted he fled. We forget that love camouflages faults. After 23 years, I know and love every part of my wife - including her feet.

I keep my word

I made a public vow to be faithful. And as the son of an ex-marine, I believe a man's word should be unassailable. I'm talking about personal integrity here, a trait often muddied by politicians, athletes, CEOs, and sometimes even our own fathers. I may not have kept some of the little promises I've made, but I've kept the big ones, and I'm damn proud of that.

I married a perfect 10

I need to clarify my first reason. I have met a perfect 10, and I married her. And the reason I haven't cheated is that I've never really wanted to. Although my wife and I have our differences, she is a great woman who deserves my fidelity. I may not always be able to give her my full attention or all the material things she wants, but I can give her this. And as the years go by, it becomes more precious

Joe Kita has worked for the same company and had the same hairstyle for 23 years, too.

Milk

Milk may play anti-cancer role

August 29, 2008, 7:48 am

The role of cow's milk in preventing bowel cancer is set to be revealed through new research at Flinders University in Adelaide.

The university said it expected to have clear evidence by the end of the year on the role milk could play in boosting the anti-cancer properties of a natural trace element, selenium.

In a human trial already underway, Graeme Young is testing the beneficial impact of selenium when delivered through cow's milk compared with other forms of the dietary supplement.

Previous trials had confirmed that selenium in milk could lift levels of selenium in the blood.

Professor Young said chemical and yeast-based forms of selenium available over-the-counter as dietary supplements had varying degrees of absorption and impact on the body.

"So those forms of selenium will differ in their capacity to change someone's antioxidant status and capacity to prevent cancer," he said.

"It just so happens that when you feed selenium to cows and they produce selenium-enriched milk, the selenium seems to be in a chemical form that is both highly absorbable into the body and also more effective in terms of preventing cancer."

In the current study involving 20 people researchers are comparing the milk form of selenium with a yeast-form of selenium and looking at how readily it gets absorbed.

"We are also taking biopsies from the lining of the bowel to make certain that the selenium is being delivered to the cells lining the bowel," Prof Young said.

"If we can establish that is occurring, then we will be more confident that selenium is going to regulate the cells lining the bowels in humans."

The anti-cancer properties of selenium relate to the way it encourages the body to rid itself of mutated cells that might otherwise become cancerous.

Previous research by the team from the Flinders Centre for Cancer Prevention and Control - published in the June issue of the international journal Cancer Research - showed that selenium-enriched cow's milk produced a significant cancer preventing effect in mice.

Prof Young said the research was focussed on prevention rather than the treatment of existing cancers.

"With the approach we are taking to prevention, you probably only need to achieve a slight, subtle effect with selenium for a benefit to become evident," he said.

How often do you see this kinda news on the net/tele/magaz.....! Arent you sick of it? Thanks to all these over-enthusiatic scientists who boost about the significant of their study BEFORE anything concrete were proven. All these articles were based on study on MICE !!!!!! Argh !!!

But i am homo sapien !!! I am NOT a mice ! Dont compare me with a rat !!

Expensive PIECE of cake

i quote :-

A piece of wedding cake saved from Prince Charles' marriage to Lady Diana Spencer 27 years ago has sold at auction for STG1,000 ($A2,138).

While the only bit left of the slice was a 23cm square piece of icing and marzipan weighing 800 grams, an anonymous bidder couldn't resist buying the memento.

It had originally been given to Moyra Smith, who worked for the Queen Mother at Clarence House at the time of Charles and Diana's wedding in 1981.

Smith carefully preserved the top of the slice, featuring the royal coat of arms coloured in red, gold and blue, in cling film and kept it stored in a metal tin.

"To my knowledge this is the highest price for any slice of the cake sold at auction," Britain's The Daily Telegraph quoted auctioneer Nathan Winter, of Dominic Winter Book Auctions, as saying.

As well as the cake, the anonymous bidder bought a letter from Charles and Diana thanking Smith for chipping in to pay for a clock given to them as a wedding present.

The piece of Smith's cake came from one of 22 cakes made for the royal wedding and sliced up for distribution among royal staff.

The couple also had an official five-tier cake made for their big day.

"She was very sentimental about the cake," Smith's husband Douglas, 76, said.

"She loved the royal family and looked back with great fondness."

Gosh - i wonder if anyone is gonna eat this piece of cake. Every bite will cost at least $300 depending how big the bite is. And i would certainly chew it really loooong before i swallow it !
