1. Get "Ang Pao"

- Get the SAME amount of $$ for every CNY from anyone including my parents. 

- Collect little $$. Even my monthly pocket $$ or 3 days of working $$ is MORE than $$ that collected during 15 days of CNY. Make no any differences to me!!

- Everyday I saved RM 1 for 365 days then I put every $$ into a "red packet" for myself is also MORE than I collected $$ during CNY.

2. Yummy food

- Food that I can able to eat in ANYTIME in ANYDAY at ANYWHERE!!

- NO any SPECIAL "dishes" for reunion dinner. Never seen any in my life during CNY!!

- Dishes that I eat MOST of my life time!!

3. Reunion

- Always meet up with relatives, make no difference at ALL!!!

- No any special or surprise from ANYONE!! 

- No one in my family is a "Party Animal" excluding me =(. Will only found in MOM family. =)

- NO jokes, NO party, as long is any EXTRAORDINARY performance will NEVER occur in my family because NO one can able to be in that scene!!

4. Spend 1st & 2nd days of CNY

- Stay at HOME doing NOTHING!! 

- No chance to gambler.

- Want to watch movie/show...cheh!!can watch it on Astro/PPS in any day!!

- Online, doing it for 24hrs throughout 365 days...anything I do will be EXACTLY the same as my daily routine!!

- Sleeping might get scold.

- Want to "sing out loud" CNY songs/others genre. People will thought I am crazy!!

5. Travelling

- Hate the MOST especially a MUST to travel from North <-> South in Msia!! 

- Long journey at least 6hrs for driving on d road only!!!(Listen to music until RUN OUT of battery....can't even sleep inside the car with the kids present)

6. Gathering with friends.

- Most of my friends go back to hometown.

- I will NEVER stand a chance since was born in this family!!NEVER!! unless ____)

Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a learning disability that can hinder a person's ability to read, write, spell, and sometimes speak. Dyslexia is the most common learning disability in children and persists throughout life.


It is caused by an impairment in the brain's ability to translate images received from the eyes or ears into understandable language. It is not due to mental retardation, brain damage, a lack of intelligence or vision or hearing problems.


Types of Dyslexia
Trauma dyslexia

• Usually occurs after some form of brain trauma or injury to the area of the brain that controls reading and writing.

Primary Dyslexia

• A dysfunction of, rather than damage to, the left side of the brain (cerebral cortex) and does not change with age. 
• Individuals with this type are rarely able to read above a fourth-grade level and may struggle with reading, spelling, and writing as adults. 
• Primary dyslexia is passed in family lines through their genes (hereditary)

Secondary/Development Dyslexia

• Caused by hormonal development during the early stages of fetal development.
• Developmental dyslexia diminishes as the child matures.

Signs/Symptoms 

• Difficulty copying from the board or a book.
• Not be able to remember content, even if it involves a favorite video or storybook.
• Appear to be uncoordinated and have difficulty with organized sports or games.

Treatment

• Remedial education.
• Send to specialist centre.
• Parents or teachers must be very patience in tutoring a Dyslexia child.
• NO medication can be treated.

Buffer Solution Calculation

• Buffer calculations
  
  
• Calculating the pH of a buffer - calculating amounts of salt and acid needed
  • Buffer calculation
    • A buffer solution was prepared which had a concentration of 0.20 mol dm^-3 in ethanoic acid and 0.10 mol dm^-3 in sodium ethanoate. If the K_a for ethanoic acid is 1.74 x 10^-5 mol dm^-3, calculate the theoretical hydrogen ion concentration and pH of the buffer solution.
    • K_a = [H⁺_(aq)] [salt_(aq)]_/[acid_(aq)]
    • 1.74 x 10^-5 = [H⁺_(aq)] x 0.10 / 0.20
    • [H⁺_(aq)] = 1.74 x 10^-5 x 0.20_/0.10 = 3.48 x 10^-5 mol dm^-3
    • pH = -log(3.48 x 10^-5) = 4.46

My Strongest Desire

Ok now, people keep on asking me : "what is your desire? Why is your ambition? What is your future plan?" Well, is very simple but tough. My desire is to develop, create, invent or produce something useful and become famous and popular. Now, I am still a student who major in Food Science & Nutrition. Why I study this course, many people got shock after knowing. Yes, 1st I am really interested in food. 2nd, I love to invent/create something new. I use to have day dreaming about creating a food that can completely kill cancer tumor, save all the cancer patients. Yes, everyone will be laughing at me as they would thought I am naive person and ........I knew, this shall not happen. But I still believe it will happen in someday, can save billions peoples. Now, my strongest desire will be :" I want to become a Food Scientist, to develop nutraceutical product, bring it to the world, became a daily must for everyone to consume." Stop laughing and despising me, I never wish or hope to be happen but I will only make it happen, make it come true in my life. I always believe in self. Thanks!!

Love The Way You Lie (Part 2) - Rihanna ft. Eminem

Lyric
[Rihanna]
On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don't know why I'm still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost your mind

[Chorus]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Ohhh, I love the way you lie

[Rihanna]
Now there's gravel in our voices
Glass is shattered from the fight
In this tug of war, you'll always win
Even when I'm right
'Cause you feed me fables from your hand
With violent words and empty threats
And it's sick that all these battles
Are what keeps me satisfied

[Chorus]

[Rihanna]
So maybe I'm a masochist
I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
Til the walls are goin' up
In smoke with all our memories

[Eminem]
This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
Hush baby, speak softly, tell me I'll be sorry
That you pushed me into the coffee table last night
So I can push you off me
Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
Run out the room and I'll follow you like a lost puppy
Baby, without you, I'm nothing, I'm so lost, hug me
Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me
Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
Destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we
Know that no matter how many knives we put in each other's backs
That we'll have each other's backs, 'cause we're that lucky
Together, we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills,
You hit me twice, yeah, but who's countin'?
I may have hit you three times, I'm startin' to lose count
But together, we'll live forever, we found the youth fountain
Our love is crazy, we're nuts, but I refused counsellin'
This house is too huge, if you move out I'll burn all two thousand
Square feet of it to the ground, ain't shit you can do about it
With you I'm in my f-ckin' mind, without you, I'm out it

[Chorus]
Love the way you lie

Canon only best for shooting photos purpose. Panasonic is also a best choice to grab. While after compare the quality of the picture for each type of brand, Sony is in the 1st rank. The retail price for Sony HDT-CX150E sell in SONY outlet or other camera shop is RM1999 + free gift (4G memory stick/extra battery/tripod-stand + casing). Different shop offers different gifts!! There are "Red" "Blue" & "Black" colour body.

Penang Botanical Garden

Penang Botanical Garden aka "Waterfall Garden" is located at "Kebun Bunga" on Jalan Air Tejun, Penang. Malaysia. Don't worry, you won't get lost. There are many signboard which can lead you the way.

Guess what? The place open at 5am - 8pm. I went there around 6:30am, I can see many visitors are jogging, walking, running and others at this time before the sun rise.

Best thing is there no entry or parking fees. This is a public garden, everyone can enjoy to visit the garden. Must NOT miss the view of the scenery.
