Pastikah anda tak dijangkiti CHIKUNGUYA??

Hati ku terpanggil utk buat entri pasal nih.. lagipon.. aku akan bercuti 3 hari dari dunia blogging.. hehe..

Nyamuk oh nyamuk! Mengapa anda bermaharajalela?

Oh ya.. aku ade terbaca somewhere… chikunguya bukan disebabkan nyamuk tapi dari virus itu sendiri.

Mari kita memahami Chikunguya.. mari.. mari...

Pertama: Ini bukan Cikumuya!! Ini Chikunguya.. sebutan kena betul ok?? Hehe..

Istilah ini berasal dari Afrika atau lebih tepat dari bahasa Swahili yang membawa maksud membongkok atau bengkok, bukan bonggok k.. Penyakit ini bukan disebabkan oleh gigitan nyamuk tapi oleh virus chikunguya itu sendiri. Ku ulang.. virus! Nyamuk hanya sbg vektor perantara. Jadi selagi nyamuk tak gigit dan hisap darah org yg kena virus chikunguya.. die nak hisap darah kita bnyk kali pon.... takkan menjadi masalah.. hehehe..

Oh... jenis vektor nyamuk nih sama dgn nyamuk Demam Berdarah Dengue (Dengue Haaemorrhagic Fever – DHF) iaitu nyamuk Aedes.. Perhatian seme, nyamuk ini hanya mampu terbang paling jauh 100 meter..

Sebenarnya bukan lumpuh je gejalanya, tetapi otot akan rase kebas utk beberapa hari lalu menyebabkan kesulitan utk bergerak. Kalau nak gak bergerak.. akan rase sakit yg teramat! Kalau lumpuh.. ini disebabkan dgn keadaan asal saraf itu sendiri samada pernah kena polio atau stroke.Tapi jgn risau!! Chigunguya dikatakan boleh sembuh sendiri walaupun tak diubati. Cuma kebanyakan org tak tahan sakit jd minta ubat penahan sakit jer.. huhuhu..

Sakit nih akan bertahan paling lama 7 hari (mostly 5 hari jer). =p

Simptoms: Demam tinggi, disertai ngilu pada otot dan sendi (2- 7 hari), kekadang mual dan muntah (mcm nak pregnant pon ade.. so jgn silap sangka ye!)

Errr...beza Chingunya dgn Denggi... bila amik ujian darah.. kandungan trombosit dalam darah org kena Denggi turun dgn mendadak.. kalau Chingunya.. tak.. Dan Denggi boleh membunuh tp Chinguya tak...

Ubat:

1. Analgesic (eq Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, Mefenemic Acid etc)

2. Vitamin (Vit C, B1, B6, B12)

Cara pencegahan:

1. Krn vektornya sama dgn DB maka pencegahannya adalah sama dgn pencegahan DB yaitu 3M.

2. Elak nyamuk Aedes Aegypti dari berkembang biak dgn jaga kebersihan.. As long as there’s no Aedes aegypti…there’s no CHIKUNGUYA Fever .

Sekian dari org yg pernah diragui mendapat penyakit ini suatu ketika dahulu... nasib baik aku sakit 2 hari jer.. hehehe..

untuk maklumat lanjut ttg Denggi sila lawat blog Dr Azwan yg ensom nih..

Women's Dateability (Daya Berpacaran Wanita)

I chanced upon an article written by Angela Lee in the September 2008 Cleo Edition.

It was an interesting article on a girl’s prime dating years between eighteen and thirty. The article says that a woman will go through four stages of dating years. Hehehe…

So I’ll be sharing the info with you gals out there. (Especially for singletons)

First phrase:Nubile Newbie

Dating years: 18 to 22

Date ability rating: Low

-kira sihat dan bertenaga

-kahwin pada umur ini dianggap ‘old fashion’ dan kebanyakannya berakhir dgn perceraian.

-lelaki sekarang lebih berhati-hati dalam memilih gadis2 dlm golongan ini

“One might think that an 18-year-pld in the pink of health and vivacity of youth would be a shoo-in favorite on the dating scene, and once upon a time perhaps she was. Not anymore, though. Ever since marrying a girl before she turns twenty became passé and divorce by 25 en vogue, men are rather more cautious about dating Nubile Newbies.. Even if they do have perfect teeth and strong bones.

“Girls between 18 and 22 cannot offer much conversation or experience to older guys,” says Francis, a 28-year-old flight attendant. “Also, because most are still living with their parents, they are a lot harder to get into a serious relationship – if you know what I mean. I’d date one if there is no older girl to find but I generally like my dates a little older and with more substance.”Ouch, still, that does not mean Nubile Newbies cannot fund quality dates, it just means that you’ve got to be more selective so as to avoid jerks like Francis. It’s not that hard to do - just stick to guys within the same are group and you should be all right. These guys are likely to still be staying with their parents, too, and therefore have all the worldly experience of a yellow ping pong ball… and the sexual prowess of one, too.

-errr… gadis2 nih perlu lebih bersikap memilih, pilihlah lelaki dalam lingkugan umur diorg, sbb itu lbh baik utk diorg.

Unless you intend to get married, there is really no reason to date older men while you are still a Nubile Newbie. Your dating experience at this time in your life should be fun, not serious. If you’re got a steady, great; if not, even better. Use these years to learn as much as you can about love, relationships, money, chemistry, friends, and that little curiosity that tends to get in the way of all of them: Men.

Melainkan korang nak berniat nak kahwin, maka carilah lelaki lebih tua.Gunakan la mase mude nih untuk mengenal erti cinta, perhubungan, duit, serasian, sahabat, dan makhluk bernama ’lelaki’.

First phrase:Prime princess

Dating years: 23 to 26

Date ability rating: High

Your career is well on its way, you have loved and lost and survived you are independent and experienced and life has never been better. No wonder your phone is a ceaseless beep beep beep of missed calls and text messages. Guys see you and cannot help but want to be a part of the excitement, and not just for your woo hoo, either. If you are not settled down before you
turn 26, it won’t be for lack of choice - date able and marriageable men are drawn to Prime Princesses like hounds to a dry telegraph pole.

Lelaki lebih tertarik pada golongan ini sbb diorg berkerjaya.Wanita nih dh bnyk pengalaman dan pandai berdikari..

“If you wanna get married, now is the time to do it,” says Debbie, a self-admitted. Demanding Donna (See below). “you’ll get more proposals-per-month between 23 and 26 than at any other time in your life. After that, you get fussy, the guys get ugly and suddenly having a man does not seem like such a big deal anymore”.

Jika nak kahwin, mase nih la paling sesuai.. hehe..Jika tak, wanita ini akan lebih cerewet, lelaki akan bertambah hodoh dan tibe2 bole rase lelaki tak diperlukan lagi..

But what if you don’t want to get married? Well, then these are the years during which you should enjoy dating the most. If you have experienced at least one break-up, you will not be so careless with giving your love away. If you are independent you have also learned to be more cautious with your money and time. And, since your career is in full-swing, you may consider it your life’s number one priority. Just remember that while you are growing older and wiser, all those date able marriageable men are growing older and wiser, too, so don’t expect them to wait for your career.

Tapi, kekadang wanita dari golongan ini lebih pentingkan kerjaya dari cari suami.. hmmm... dan kedekut..

Fact is, the town’s most eligible bachelors are constantly on the lookout for true love. But if they have not found it before they start pushing their late thirties, than they will start looking for the next best thing: true convenience. Prime Princesses simply do not have that.

Lelaki takkan menunggu wanita mcm nih.. haha.. diorg akan cari wanita lain yg lebih mudah utk dipikat...

“Prime Princesses think that their high-flying careers make them special, but they are wrong,” says Francis. “Everyone is a marriage-averse career-woman these days. There is nothing new or unique or strange about it. A marrying man knows better than to wait for her, because
if she’s not ready to marry by 26, chances are she never will be.”

Jika wanita ini belum bersedia untuk kahwin pada sebelum umur 26, kemungkinan besar die takkan bersedia smpi bile2… errkk!!!

First phrase:Veteran Vamp

Dating years: 27 to 29

Date ability rating: High

Let’s assume for a moment that you are prettier and more charming than the average girl. Let’s also assume that you have always been reasonable unfussy and uncomplicated in you choice of men, and that your career, while steady, has never been you life’s number one priority.. Although it does come in a close second. Assuming all of this, a woman can extend her high-date ability years well into her late twenties. By staying healthy and remaining stubbornly rational about stress and work, you can actually look forward to becoming a kind of seasoned expert at dating.

Ini kire wanita yg matang. Jika die dpt kekal sihat dan berfikiran matang ttg stress dan kerja, die dpt keluar ’date’ dgn lebih kerap.

But although a Veteran Vamp may have all the dates she can handle, she will nonetheless find marriage proposals much rarer than they were just a few years earlier. Veteran Vamps are intimidating to a man’s idea of wedded bliss, and if she does want to marry, she is often the one that has to do the asking.

Tapi, org yg ajak die kahwin amat sedikit berbanding fasa sebelumnyer..

Explains Francis: “Most guys tend to think that they could never make such a woman happy, and therefore don’t bother asking for their hand in marriage, or don’t want to.”

Lelaki akan ingat mereka tak dpt nak bahagiakan wanita jenis ini dan segan nak ajak kahwin…

And yet a Veteran Vamp will never seem more attractive to men. Armed with a decade of experience of dating, squabbling and making-up, she is the ultimate chill-pill for a man whose nerves have been frazzled by the tantrums, frigidity and irrationality of younger women. But don’t wait too long, because the line that separates a Veteran Vamp from a Demanding Donna is a thin one, and grey, too.

Tp memandangkan wanita golongan ini kurang buat hal (yalah.. kan dah matang), tak gediks dan mengada-ngada.. lelaki tetap tertarik dgn wanita jenis nih..

First phrase:Demanding Donna

Dating years: 30 onwards

Date ability rating: Low

The vast majority of thirty-something single women I speak to all say that they would like to date. Trouble is, they can’t find anyone to do so with. Being the only writer for a women’s magazine they know and therefore the resident expert on relationships, they all turn to me to ask, “Angela, where have all the dateable men gone?” My answer is always the same: they are all
married.

Wanita golongan ini susah nak carik teman. Kenapa??? Sbb seme lelaki yg baik2 dah kahwin la.. haha..

I said earlier that as you grow older, the men around you all grow older, too, and that past a certain age, men stop waiting for true love and instead opt for true convenience. A thirty-something bachelorette generally ignores any man below 35 because he lacks maturity and financial independence. Unfortunately, most nice men above 35 are either already married or in serious relationships, which leaves you with the not-so-nice leftovers: 35-or-older, losers, blowhards and assorted playboys. It’s no wonder that thirty-something women have a hard time finding nice dates.

Kekadang lelaki 35-an yang masih solo ini kurang matang atau belum stabil dari segi pendapatan… Sbb.. lelaki yg jadi idaman pon.. dah lama kahwin ataupon sudah berpunya... yg tinggal cuma ‘losers, blowhards and playboys’ --> agak2 la aper maksudnyer.. hehe

Jd, agak sukar wanita 30-an untuk carik pasangan..

“if you survive as a single girl past your thirtieth birthday, then you will be naturally less inclined to think of settling down with just any old guy,” explains Debbie of Demanding Donna. “Your expectations of men often preclude the majority of single thirty-something bachelors. They don’t earn enough, don’t look good enough, are not matured enough, are not stable enough, are not independent enough.. The list of exclusions can be alarmingly long.”

Most successful men marry early and marry well. A man still sorting out his career in his mid-thirties simply does not appeal to Demanding Donnas. Such men have no fixed address and are often still paying installments for their first car. Worst still are the guys who are still living with their parents.

Hmm… wanita ini tak tertarik pada lelaki yg tak stabil, bnyk hutang dan masih tinggal dgn mak ayah mereka. Kire cerewet gak wanita nih ek???

“I can count the number of thirty-something women I know who date successfully on one hand,” Debbie says. “They have to choose between either graying divorcees loaded with emotional baggage or younger men whom they have to support and baby and mother. Prime, dateable candidates in between these two extremes are very, very hard to find.”

That said, there is a certain satisfaction to be had from being a Demanding Donna these days, or so says Debbie. “Let’s put it this way,” Debbie smiles. “I never have to go to bed alone if I don’t want to, and I never have to put up with someone in my bed for longer than I need to. I get the best of both worlds.”

Hmm.. jgn ikut nasihat die nih.. untuk non-muslem bole la.. muahahaha...

P/S: agak2 nyer aku kena carik experience dulu ker, baru carik pasangan idup?? huhuhhu... pening seh..

What Matters Most..

As I was home, sick in bed for a few days, I began thinking of the things/people that matters to me most. With only my laptop to accompany me, I had very few options to entertain myself. Then I thought of Photoscape… (DVD-DVD tak ori tak sempat ku minta dari adik ku.. Uweeek!!)

And so I started editing dozens and dozens of pages made from thousands of pictures I have in my database. It suddenly becomes an obsession. LoL.

And Wallaaa… 

A collage of my favorite family pictures. 

Heck.. I’m still new to this Photoscape thing.. Practice makes perfect, eh? Again I must mention kak Masy’s name. Memang mujarab la sebut2 nama akak nih.. hehehe.. aku terus cepat sembuh. 

So fellow bloggers, rajin-rajin lah buat tutorial ttg software2 best kat luar sana dan bubuh kat blog.... =p Confem dikenang sampai bile2..

Oh ya, this is my first entry that shows how my parents look like. Bapa aku mcm rupe En monkey kan??? With his thick eyebrows but of course, minus the ‘boroi’ness. Muahahaha… but still, bapa ku tetap lagi hensom laaa….

P/s: They’re coming here to KL this March. Kepada sepa2 yg terfikir nak jadi menantu,  boleh start ambik hati aku dgn cara ambik hati bapa ku dulu.. =p

Ermmm....I prefer ‘Berchenta Lepas Kahwin’… 

Jamming

Sometime last week, I went to check the studio which is situated somewhere in my office building. I was assigned to check how the participants of the ongoing 'Audio for TV' course was doing (since I was one of the three coordinators of this course).

Instead of doing my job, I kinda joined in the fun with testing the music equipments. Hehehehe.. aparraaa!!!

P/s: I think I fell in love with PhotoScape. Muahaha... never had this much fun while editing pictures. All thanks to Kak Baby a.k.a. Masy. 

Transform Myself!

It’d be so nice being just a piece of junk..

Made from the strongest alloy…

Bullet-proof, rust-free…

Sturdy and adaptable in any situation..

Muscle building, stamina, adrenaline-pumping won't be a problem..

Dieting, constipation, tiredness... not to be bothered...

Love, Hate, Romance... the Living, the Dead...
far from my mind.. (opps... metal don't have minds.. hehe)

Sigh... won't it be wonderful???

but alas, I'm only a human.. and all of the above don't apply to humans!
=p

p/s: takde benda nak update.. tp sbb suke sgt dgn gambar nih yg ternyata macho and musculine.. aku nak gak ade crita skit.. hehe..

p/s/s: aku tersgt lapar.. smlm hampir pengsan sbb tak sempat makan satu hari... huhuhu.. bz..bz..bz.. sepa sudi nak bg aku mkn nasi neh??

So after much thought, I decided to type one of my old diary entries onto this blog. Written a long time ago.. maybe it could clarify my odd behavior to you readers... LoL

Warning: Entri ini agak panjang dari biasa...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Diary,

My family and I just moved back to Malaysia after many years abroad. I was new at the whole idea of meeting my lost (and almost) forgotten relatives. It filled me with awe at how different this country was from the previous one.

As a kid, who made friends easily by just being strange and awkward looking among my other relatives, I noticed I gained an admirer. She was also awkward looking, in the darker version with a bit of a hunchback. She hung on my every word, tried everything to please me and I guess she played along every game I played with the other kids.

We literally grew up together, during the harvesting seasons of the paddy fields that came between my house to hers.

I remember her being all happy and excited one fine night when she came, breathing heavily, to my house. She claims a tortoise got lost and came to her house. To rebuff her claims, I took the courage to go through the leeches infested fields just to see for myself! My father decided to come with me. Oh and by golly!!! The tortoise was so huge!!! It was one of the fondest memory I had with her.

But time passed so fast.

I grew up. UPSR, straight A’s, PMR, straight A’s while she lagged so far behind. I received the offer to continue my studies at Sarawak while she had to stop schooling after SPM since she failed her exams.

Our relationship drifted apart.

Life was good to me. But not likewise to her, her life worsened. Rarely able to keep a job, and being a relatively shy person, she was shunned by her peers. Her father died suddenly which devastated her whole family and her mother grew distant with each passing day. She had many siblings but all were so absorbed and struggling with their own lives that she seemed to be a ghost in her own house.

I rarely came back home. But when I do, I’d be spending most of my time with my siblings. We’d go fishing, swimming, shopping and whatnot.

I hardly noticed the day when she’d come by my house asking for me.

Then one day during a school holiday. I was devastated by this shocking news.

She committed suicide.

Rat poison.

The irony of the whole thing was that she had a quarrel with her elder brother and threatened to poison herself. Not taking his sister serious, he ignored her. And to his shock, she absent-mindedly drank the poison (I think it was mostly to prove her point) and while spitting out blood she choked for help. Her brother ran for help. But it was too late..

I partially blamed myself for not being there for my childhood friend.

My darkest secret is now out.

Only then did I realize, I should appreciate the people around me. Any signs of kindness would have prevented anything bad. I should’ve but I didn’t.

Am I a bad person???

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hahaha... the last question hung till this very day....


Sigh...

Sekain, wassalam

p/s: If only I could change the hands of time.

p/s/s: ku malas nak translate... Have a nice weekend everybody!!!

Penindasan Islam: Sampai Bila???

a child is born into innocence
a child is drawn towards good
why then so many among us
goes so horribly wrong?

what makes some walk a path of darkness
while other choose the light
it is will?
is it destiny?
can we ever hope to understand the force
that shapes the soul?

to fight evil, one must know evil
one must journey back through time
and find that fork in the road

where heroes turn one way
and villains turn another

Palestin Outcry for Help: Until When?

~Rintihan Orang Palestin: Untuk Berapa Lama Lagi~

The Prophet SAW said: The nation will soon crowd against you like the gluttons crowd around their dish"..

One Asked: "Is it because we will be in few in number at that time?"...

The Prophet SAW replied: "No, at that time you will be many, but you will be (like) scum as the scum of the flood..."

and Allah will remove the awe of you from the hearts of your enemies, and Allah will throw Wahn into your hearts"..

One asked: "What is Wahn, o Messenger of Allah?"

The Prophet SAW replied: "The love of this life and the hatred of death"
[Abu Dawud and Ahmad]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~versi bahasa malaysia~~

Nabi SAW bersabda "Kelak, umat-umat lain akan mengerumuni
kalian seperti orang-orang yang lapar mengeruni hidangan mereka...

salah seorang bertanya: "Adakah kerana bilangan kita sedikit pada ketika itu?..

Nabi SAW menjawab:
"Tidak, pada ketika itu bilangan kalian ramai, namun kalian adalah seperti buih di lautan..
..Allah akan menghilangkan perasaan takut dari hati musuh kalian dan Allah akan mencampakkan 'Wahn' ke dalam hati kalian"..

salah seorang bertanya:
"Apa itu Wahn, wahai Rasulullah?"..

Nabi SAW menjawab:
"Cintakan kehidupan dan membenci kematian"
[Abu Dawud dan Ahmad]

Exercises That Fight Ageing

Anaerobic exercise – the type of activity you cannot sustain for long, such as sprinting on a bike, running up the stairs or lifting heavy weights – helps the body produce more of the anti-aging growth hormone HGH.


(PS: This is a scheduled post. Jard (me lor) is still not available.. hehehe... bawak2 bersabar ye kengkawan seme!)


Anyways, Happy New Hijrah Year 1430H and 2009 Masihi.. did you know that Masihi started during the time Nabi Isa aka Jesus started his rule in the Christian world but to us it also marks as one of beloved prophet Nabi Isa year. Sigh!
