When Good Friends Say Good Bye

When we look back at our lives, we usually note the books that we read, the work that we do and the people that we meet. If you can imagine a sheet of paper, our lives are like straight lines. There will be some lines which just cut across our line, these represent friends or people who come into our lives for a short time. Then there are lines that for sometime, merge with us, and then part away. These are friends who spent some time with us but then left us, for everyone is on their own journey in life. Yesterday, we said good bye to one of our best friends, Ebb and Rory Hinchliffe.

They were leaving for Dallas after being here for 2 years. They lived in a magnificent house in Ampang, where every morning at sunrise, Ebb would watch the birds and admire the magnificent sunrise behind KLCC while excitedly anticipating the new day.

As I write this email, 12 hours after their departure, they should still be in the air as their flight, via Japan Airlines, with one refueling stop at Narita, will take approximately 23 hours.



My wife, Pauline, used to work for Ebb at Volt, but based at Texas Instrument (TI). They started the Volt recruitment business in TI from scratch, going through many obstacles and frustrations together. The funny thing was that they even had to contend with a very difficult Volt country manager, who despite working for the same company, was never on their side. It's a long story but Ebb and Pauline love for their staff was evident to everyone in TI. They made a good team. Rory provided the moral support with her excellent cooking and constant encouragement, just like what the picture below shows.

Although I may be young and foolish, I do know that there's a bond between good friends that never break. Similar to the bond between a mother and her child, friends have a bond that tugs the heart whenever the other is near.

Ebb, Rory, it was a wonderful experience knowing the both of you. I believe Pauline was so lucky to have you as a boss and friend. The both of you will probably never read this post and will never know how much last year's Thanksgiving dinner meant to us.

Good luck to you both. God is always kind to nice people. And you're one of them.

Coolest Prank

How would you feel if you saw your name in the tv news where a serial killer has apparently targeted you? Scared.

Well, this a cool prank for the new Dexter mini series where if you go to the website, they allow you to compose a chilling message to a friend and the message will actually be embedded in a movie!!

Check it out and have fun at http://www.icetruck.tv/

Enjoy.

How Your Liver Gets Damaged?

Good rest and sound sleep is very Important. If you do not get enough of sleep, toxins tend to accumulate in your body, affecting your health and your mood...


The main causes of liver damage are:
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming overly done foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our body to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."


Because:
Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (de-toxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on her health.


Evening at 11pm - 1am : The de-toxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state. Early morning 1 - 3am : de-toxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5am : de-toxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the de-toxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am : de-toxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.


Morning 7 - 9am : Absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 -10am rather than no meal at all. Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood.

Therefore, always try to have a good sleep and don't sleep late!.

Myanmar - Cyclone Nargis

 

This was how bad the recent cyclone destructed Mynmmar.

 

Lives were lost, children went missing, husbands and wives separated.

 

No one expected such a tragedy to happen and normally, such incidents happen very suddenly. So, always cherish your loved ones now. You will never know when they will be taken away.
