One Malaysia??
I read a NOTE posted by Lau Chee Kin on Facebook.
He and his one of his friend had beaten up by a group of Malays.
Could you imagine during the Merdeka Eve,
you were beaten by a group of Malays,
and they WALKED off instead of running after beating up you.
They even mentioned, "Balik ke negara asal lah u!"
You went to make a police report,
and the policemen push all their responsible away.
How do you feel if you face this kind of situation??
This is what happened to Lau Chee Kin!
You called that ONE Malaysia?
I don't care what religion you are,
ONE Malaysia?? Ask YOURSELF!
I'm not showing how politic I am.
But this kind of issue, cant be tolerate.
Because I'd experience such case before.
2 years ago,
I got robbed by 5 Malays,
I managed to catch one of them.
I called the police, and brought to the police station.
I made a report regarding to this problem.
Guess what?
After I finish doing the report,
they just let go the Malay boy.
Try to think if the robber was not a Malay,
how will the policemen treat them?
IS this One Malaysia???
Earning the country respect with this concept??
Where are the values of One Malaysia concept??
One Malaysia,
"People First, Performance Now"
Good slogan instead, but POOR implementation.

Enough..
I think,
that's enough for me.
Yes, I'm stupid and wrong.
I just do what I think that it is correct.
There's no regret for what I did,
because I did it for myself.
Thanks SW,
You are a good listener yet a good adviser.
You wake me up.
So, after this big storm.
I should move on..
Be a brand new new me :)

Life is Like Running a Business.
有时候，
我们就好像在做生意这样。
在生意里面竞争，
为了赚钱。
生意做大了，赚大钱，但风险高。
一不小心做错一些决定，
生意亏大本。
生意做少了，就很难生存。
怎样好？
有些人，
挂大牌做生意。
但有些人，却挂爽。
为什么？？
做生意，
和其他生意人士的关系都要打得很好，
尤其是那些比较好的生意人士。
这样做，为了得到利益，'找吃'吗。
万一打得不好，就等死咯？
都那么现实吗?
做生意就好像我们的的生活，
要去理很多东西。
真的很烦~ @@

Cheers Cafe
Cheers Cafe,
located nearby my house,
One day, me n Mike feeling bored,
I drive around with his accompany n search for new place for us to have tea.
We got bored of having tea at mamak which nearby our house,
Plus that place not so into standard (hygiene).
We found Cheers Cafe,
and we have a try at that place.
At 1st I tot that place is Pub or Bistro.
But it is actually a Cafe @@
After going there once,
we like that place very much.
That place is nice, not noisy, comfortable, relax!
I current work as a part time waiter there,
friday n weekend only.
Not bad, I enjoy working there.
Not very tired, although working time quite long.
Quite flexible.
My manager,
Annysha n Emily,
they are very nice.
They are older than me,
but we still can communicate each other :)
They shared many experience and their own stories to me.
Not many, but I could understand what they trying to say.
My chef,
Kelvin, he cook delicious food.
His special dishes are Fish & Chips, Carborana Spaghetti, One Malaysia Fried Spaghetti, Fried Porridge and so on.
Kinna friendly, he's a volunteer unit in public service at Penang.
Salute him.
The stuff there.
Ah Seng, i named him as "Shadow".

尊重
好心咯，
不要以为你自己好"紧要"好。
不理你有几厉害，几"神"都好，
这个世界上没有人是完美的。
是，我知道你好厉害。
OK la,你串都没“伤干”啦。
我都不怪你。
可能这是你的本性。
但是，
人家都没有得罪你，
不需要串到这样“离谱”呱？！
有没有想过其他人的感受？
就算你真的有料到，
又怎样？没有人会尊重你的。
如果真的要证明你有多厉害，
得到世界冠军先才来串啦。
到时候你要怎样串都可以。
我尊重你，
希望你都可以尊重我。
你好，我好，大家好过。
劝你就最好低调点。

Marriage
To those who are married, .. Not married .. and
soon to be married, I hope you will be touched with this story...
MARRIAGE
When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and
said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly.
Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.
Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know
what I was thinking. I want a divorce.. I raised the topic calmly.
She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly,
why?
I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the
chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't
talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what
had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory
answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just
pitied her!
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated
that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.
She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent
ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for
her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I
had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of
me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a
kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several
weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.
The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something
at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell
asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.
When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not
care so I turned over and was asleep again.
In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want
anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce.
She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a
life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a
month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken
marriage.
This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to
recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.
She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of
our bedroom to the front door ever morning.. I thought she was going
crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd
request.
I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions.. . She laughed loudly and
thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to
face the divorce, she said scornfully..
My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was
explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we
both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy
in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to
the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in
my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about
the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside
the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the
office.
On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my
chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I
hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time.. I realized she
was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair
was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I
wondered what I had done to her.
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy
returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.
On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was
growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry
her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me
stronger.
She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few
dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my
dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so
thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.
Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her
heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.
Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out.
To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an
essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer
and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I
might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms,
walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her
hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly;
it was just like our wedding day.
But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held
her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I
held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked
intimacy.
I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the
door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...I walked
upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not
want the divorce anymore.
She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead.. Do you have
a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I
won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I
didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each
other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on
our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.
Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed
the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.
At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my
wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and
wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.
That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I
run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.
The small details of your lives are what really matter in a
relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the
bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot
give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend
and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a
real happy marriage!
If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.
If you do, you just might save a marriage.
soon to be married, I hope you will be touched with this story...

Wrong? & Tears...
Just want to express what I think here.
When ppl judge that u are wrong,
with know seeing or listening the truth.
What I will do is, I will remain silent.
Dont feel sad that they dont believe u.
Just dont explain,
Unless u have a chance to explain ur right.
Do it in a right time.
If u explain or fight for ur right,
not every people will accept the way u say,
neither u or me.
So, just let it be, dont be moody or unhappy because of that.
When you cry,
it's normal,
everyone do cry...
Its an expression that many ppl can avoid.
When u feel sad, just cry.
But, cry positively.
By right, after finish ur tears,
u will be fine.
When the rain finish,
there will be bright day.
Cheer up!!~

My Bad
Sorry everyone, I did something bad today.
Which is,I made a wrong decision.
I went back earlier when the school carnival,
I dint realize tat they need my strength to carry all the heavy things back to the class,
I need to fetch my bro,
so I couldn't stay long.
What I can say is, sorry.
I know, a sorry won't cure anything,
Because I,m really wrong at this.
This week, I got sick.
Ulcer, flu, sore throat, fever..
And it's getting more serious,
Even if I eat medicine + drink more water,
It's the same.
And yet I keep ask myself to go to school,
To make sure everything well planned.
And today, I failed for being responsible.
I have a lot of things to handle,
Carnival, brother, and sister coming new born.
I'm really exhausted,
I know this can't be use as an excuse,
But I hope all of u understand my situation.
I'm not being lazy,
I'm willing to do my best if I could.
Teacher, classmates of LA1,
I made u all disappointed.
I'm sorry...
Which is,I made a wrong decision.
I went back earlier when the school carnival,
I dint realize tat they need my strength to carry all the heavy things back to the class,
I need to fetch my bro,
so I couldn't stay long.
What I can say is, sorry.
I know, a sorry won't cure anything,
Because I,m really wrong at this.
This week, I got sick.
Ulcer, flu, sore throat, fever..
And it's getting more serious,
Even if I eat medicine + drink more water,
It's the same.
And yet I keep ask myself to go to school,
To make sure everything well planned.
And today, I failed for being responsible.
I have a lot of things to handle,
Carnival, brother, and sister coming new born.
I'm really exhausted,
I know this can't be use as an excuse,
But I hope all of u understand my situation.
I'm not being lazy,
I'm willing to do my best if I could.
Teacher, classmates of LA1,
I made u all disappointed.
I'm sorry...

Mess
I had created a big mess...
My "master" plan succeed.
I can feel back what I had felt last time.
Just like when I was form 4-5.
Which I have no image,
people look down on me,
good...
It's been a long time.
I like that feel.
That would be my "pain reliever".
And I had it enough,
everything should have an explaination,
must be settle down.
Or else I'll be dead.
Now, the only thing is to cold down.
A very big sorry to all of u who involve in this matter.
Because I created this.
And thanks for those who willing to listen to me.
Especially my close friend :)

M.Y.O.B
Not trying to offense here,
also not trying to make problem.
Just wanna say that,
I'm not blind or deaf.
What I feel now is,
DON'T simply judge on other people if u don't really know he/she well...
Be who you are,
you are not CIA,FBI,CSI,SWAT, PDRM, Paparazzi or etcs...
So.
mind your own business!!!
If you think that you are the hero/heroine.
There are no rewards or any prize for you.
To those who understand what I'm trying to say,
Please n Thanks :D
I wanna live in peace...
Some Advice From Me
Bro, sorry,
that night I was blur.
I rethink what u said in that night,
and I had also read ur blog.
It seems that, u really have a big problem.
This might be a tough life for u, rough one perhaps.
Or something u can't accept.
What I can advice u is,
u have to think over it.
u have to bypass urself.
The problem occurred in your heart,
I cant go into ur mind n simply ask u do choose whatever thing.
The key to open urself is within you.
Open ur mind, open ur heart.
Accept all the words, and analyze it in a rational way.
But not keep thinking it in ur way.
Face and solve, dont think too far..
All the decision is from u, no one can control u.
Remember, u urself is the key.
Although it sounds easy from what I mention,
but I dont meant that easy.
Just, believe urself.
U can do it,
take time to think okay??
Ur brothers always stand on ur side.
All the best to u...

Cross Country + Old Buddie Weekend
July,
Now I only realize @@
one of my weekend in July really filled with colour~
10 July,
my school held a Cross Country activity,
many ppl are taking part in this program,
including me, but im not running,
because I have my duty as a photographer.
That was my 1st duty as a Editorial Board member.
Kinda busy and tiring on that day,
but I had took a lot of pictures, feel satisfy through my duty.
（That was me n my class teacher, Pn Caroline)
(PPU LA1, My classmates!!)
My class teacher, Pn Caroline,
was unable to take photo with us,
she went back early due to some urgent stuff.
Anyway, we still can take pictures in other time ><
After the event,
Me, LiWei Mommy, Elin Mei, Chui Han, Chai Sin, n Rainbow,
went to Paparich @ Permaisuri,
1st time go there,
that place was nice!
Enjoy the moment there @@
After that fetch everyone back :)
Went back home n rest awhile,
and then?? WORK T.T
11 July,
Meet up with my ex tuition friend,
whom are Clarissa and Shaun Yew..
4 of us,
Mike bro including me went to Connaught and have a drink,
we gather up at old town, have have our chit-chat season there.
I feel very happy when meet back with them.
All of us study form 6,
sharing our form 6 life...
All got their story, very interesting.
(Picture Taken By Mike.)
Ahh, miss the old time when we tuition~

This Is Sparta!!
THIS IS MADNESS~~~
Those days,
when I was in form 5.
Im known as the ponteng "kaki".
Neh, I just dislike the assemble every morning..
So I always hide inside the computer lab.
Haha,
went to YouTube and watched "Sparta 300 Remix",
the memories I have with my ponteng mates,
pop out in my mind.
That morning,
we skipped the assemble as usual,
and we were watching youtube in the lab.
Harry shared us the video clip.
We watch and laugh loudly.
Unfortunately,
We got caught by my account teacher,
Miss Lim..
I still remember,
we are still in "SPARTA" mood,
watching the video clip,
and still laughing non stop there.
Miss Lim suddenly come in,
we all dont know want to laugh or sad.
That time we can imagine that she's the Sparta!!

A to Z
Something is just like ABC,
it starts from A to Z.
I climb too fast, reach to Z very early,
while other still climbing.
I wait too long for them to reach.
Then I just relax.
After relax,
meet up all the climbers.
They ask me, "Do you have the map while you climb up from A to Z?"
I dint realize,
I climb too fast,
until I forget to mark down the way while climbing from A to Z.
At the end, I have to jump down from Z to A.
And climb back all the way up to Z again.
What to do?So much of efforts,
but did it in a wrong way.
Stand up from where we fall...

It's been awhile,

Everything will be normal soon.

Direction
Brothers,
it seems that,
our distance are getting more far.
All of us are going different direction,
and also experiencing new environment.
Last time,
we always meet in school.
After SPM,
we always went out together,
play together,
we shared our joys n tears.
I miss that moment a lot!
Brothers,
although we are separated,
do not forget the days we together.
May god bless us,
to be success in our life.
Hope no one got the wrong way.
Cheers, brothers. :)

Decision.
In a sudden,
Im so confused,
Im so scare that I will make a wrong decision.
Im so scare that I will regret.
What happened?
What to do??
I dont know!!!
Is this the limit?
Is this the time where I should speak up?
On that night,
I released all my stress,
trying to empty my confused mind.
After a night of thinking,
I made a conclusion.
I know, it's hard for me to make a decision.
It's like cutting the red line n blue line on a bomb.
And finally I decided to be single.
Maybe for a moment I guess.
Sorry, I know u feel the pain from my word.
I do suffer too.
This would be our cooling period.
If we could overcome/think over in this period.
We will solve our problem,
and we will definitely improve our relationship,
and also hit down the wall between us.
Hope that,
everything will be fine.
Be strong...

Chemical...
Monday went somewhere around Kuchai Lama,
just to get a new number plate n check out some car accessory there.
Daniel Yong's friend got a car accessory shop there.
So we gather up, n follow his car go there.
two car headed there.
New shop lots,
just opened few months ago.
The environment there not bad..
Spend RM80 there T.T..
Bought a rear number plate,
a multifunction lubricant for my car,
HQ cloth,
white indoor light,
and a tough/stubborn stain remover...
My car's mirror filled with tough oil stain,
because last time that car used to park in front the 大炒 .
So it created those oil stain, and after a long time it hard to be remove.
As I use that liquid to remove the stain,
I dint realize that the chemical are so powerful.
Until my finger become like this T.T

Why Our Sweetie Argue With Us
Why ar???
Why when u did your best alreaady,
there's still argue between each other ar??
Here are four reason why your sweetie will argue with u:
(even u both never did anything wrong)
1: Men can separate sex from love, but women think that sex IS love.
2: Men talk deals, women talk details.
3: Women deliver “like-me” language, while men argue their points.
4: Men want to fix women’s problems, but women just want to share.
Different people got different way of thinking, but I do agree with the reasons..

70 Ways to Better Brainpower
70 Ways to Better Brainpower -(from "A Books of Secret -by Steve Gillman)
(In no particular order.)
1. Breath deep. More air in means more oxygen in the blood and therefore in the brain. Breath through your nose and you'll notice that you use your diaphragm more, drawing air deeper into your lungs. Several deep breaths can also help to relax you, which is conducive to clearer thinking.
2. Meditate. A simple meditation you can do right now is just closing your eyes and paying attention to your breath. Tensing up your muscles and then relaxing them to start may help. When your mind wanders, just bring your attention back to your breath. Five or ten minutes of this will usually relax you, clear your mind, and leave you more ready for any mental task.
3. Sit up straight. Posture affects your thinking process. Prove it to yourself by doing math in your head while slouching, looking at the floor and letting your mouth hang open. Then do the mental math while sitting up straight, keeping your mouth closed and looking forward or slightly upwards. You'll notice that it's easier to think with the latter posture.
4. Phosphotidyl Serine (PS). This supplement has been shown in clinical studies to increase lucidity and rate of learning. It activates cell-to-cell communication, helps regulate cell growth, improves the functioning of the special receptors found on cells, and prepares cells for activity. In other words, it can help your brain power. It's also thought to reverse memory decline. Phosphatidylserine has no known adverse side effects.
5.Vinpocetine. This extract, derived from an alkaloid found in the Periwinkle plant, is used as a cerebral vasodilator. It increases blood flow to the brain, which improves its oxygenation and thereby increases mental alertness and acuity. Research suggests it may also be the most powerful memory enhancer available to date.
6. Gingko Biloba. The leaves of this tree have been proven to increase blood flow to the brain. The trees are often planted in parks. My friends and I used to eat a few leaves when we wanted a brain boost. It is also inexpensive, if you buy the capsules or tea at any health food store.
7. Saint John's Wort. This is a common weed that may be growing in your yard. Although it's brain enhancing qualities are less documented (studies do show it's usefulness for treating long-term depression), many people swear by it's temporary mood-elevating effect, and our brains tend to function better when we are happy. It is inexpensive, but I used to just collect it in the yard and make tea of it. (Hyperacum Perforatum, if you want to look it up by it's botanical name.)
8. Good thinking habits. Just use a problem solving technique for several weeks and it will become a habit. Redesign everything you see for a while, and that will become a habit. You can develop many good thinking habits with some effort, and then be more resourceful effortlessly from that point on. Use the power of habit.
9. Use dead time. This is time that is otherwise wasted or just under-utilized. Driving time, time spent in waiting rooms, or even time spent raking your yard can be included in this. With a tape player and a trip to a public library, you can start to use this time to listen to books-on-tape. You may spend 200 hours a year in your car. What could you learn in that time?
10. Learn a language. Learning a new language has been shown to halt the age-related decline in brain function. It also introduces your mind to new concepts and new ways of looking at things (in English we are afraid, whereas in Spanish we have fear). It is one of the best brain exercises.
11. Rosemary. This common herb may have an effect on the brain when the scent is inhaled. We are waiting for the research, but some people swear that just sniffing rosemary wakes up their brain. It seems safe, so if you have rosemary in your spice rack, give it a try.
12. Mindfulness exercises. Concentration and clear thinking are more or less automatic once you remove distractions. Learn to stop and watch your busy mind. As you notice things that are subtly bothering you, deal with them. This might mean making a phone call you need to make, or putting things on a list so you can forget them for now. With practice, this becomes easier, and your thinking becomes more powerful.
13. Write. Writing is good for your mind in a number of ways. It is a way to tell your memory what is important, so you'll recall things more easily in the future. It is a way to clarify your thinking. It is a way to exercise your creativity and analytical ability. Diaries, idea-journals, poetry, note-taking and story-writing are all ways to use writing to boost your brain power.
14. Listen to Mozart. In a study at the University of California, researchers found that children who studied piano and sang daily in chorus, were much better at solving puzzles, and when tested, scored 80% higher in spatial intelligence than the non-musical group. In another study, 36 students were given three spatial reasoning tests on a standard IQ test. Just before the first test, they listened to Mozart's sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, K. 448 for ten minutes. Before the second test, they listened to a relaxation tape. Before the third, they sat in silence. The average scores for all 36 students: 1st test: 119. 2nd test: 111. 3rd test: 110. A nine-point boost from Mozart!
15. Develop your intuition. Intuition can be an important part of brainpower. Einstein and others have relied heavily on their intuitive hunches. See Chapter 25 for tips on how to develop your intuition.
16. Avoid foods that cause subtle allergies. These can include wheat, corn, peanuts and dairy products. Watch yourself to see if you have a problem with any of these. They cause digestive problems and brain fog in some people.
17. Sleep better. As long as you get a certain amount of sleep - probably a minimum of five hours - the quality seems to be more important than the quantity. Also, short naps in the afternoon seem to work well to recharge the brain for some people.
The Secrets of Powerful Sleep
Sleep LESS and have MORE energy by optimizing your sleep patterns in order to create an abundance of energy in your life. Learn more here...
18. Caffeine. The research shows higher test scores for students who drink coffee before major exams. My chess game gets better. In other studies, it has been shown that too much caffeine leads to poorer quality decisions. Caffeine affects individuals differently, and has some nasty long-term side effects for some of us, but short-term - it works!
19. Avoid sugar. Any simple carbohydrates can give you "brain fog." Sometimes called the "sugar blues" as well, this sluggish feeling makes it hard to think clearly. It results from the insulin rushing into the bloodstream to counteract the sugar rush. Avoid pasta, sugars, white bread and potato chips before any important mental tasks.
20. Hypnosis audios. The power of suggestion is real, and one way to use it is with hypnosis tapes, CD's or downloads. This type of brain "programing" has more evidence for it than subliminals.
21. Speed reading. Contrary to what many believe, your comprehension of material often goes up when you learn to speed-read. You get to learn a lot more in less time, and it is definitely a good brain exercise.
22. Exercise. Long term exercise can boost brainpower, which isn't surprising. Anything that affects physical health in a positive way probably helps the brain too. Recent research, though, shows that cognitive function is improved immediately after just ten minutes of aerobic exercise. If you need a brain recharge, you might want to walk up and down the stairs a few times.
23. Imaginary friends. Talking to and getting advice from characters in your mind can be a great way to access the information in your subconscious mind. Imagine a conversation with a person who has a lot of knowledge in the area you want advice in.
24. Develop your creativity. Creativity gives power to your thinking. Raw computation can be done by computers now, but humans provide the creative thought that shapes our world. See Chapter 24 for tips on developing your creativity.
25. Learn more efficiently. When you decide to learn something, take notes from the start. Leave each "learning session" with a question or two in mind, to create anticipation and curiosity. Take short breaks, so there will be more beginnings and endings to your studies (Things learned at the beginning or ending of a class or session are remembered better).
26. Use techniques for clear thinking. Cluttered rooms and offices can contribute to cluttered thinking. Organize a space for mental work. Sigh, stretch, and take a deep breath before you start on a tough mental job. Plan some distraction-free time for brainstorming.
27. Brain wave entrainment. The newest brain wave entrainment products are powerful tools for altering your brain function. Some will almost immediately relax you, while others will put your brain waves in a pattern that is most conducive to analytical thinking.

28. Creatine. This is a compound found in meat, used by athletes to help build muscle. Now the evidence is here to show that it helps your brain as well. Proceedings B , a journal published by the Royal Society reports that the research showed improvement in working memory and general intelligence resulting from creatine supplementation. The dose used in the study was 5 grams per day. This is about the level used to boost sports performance, and is as much as you'd normally get in four pounds of meat, according to lead researcher Dr. Caroline Rae.
29. Talk. Talking is only good for the brain if you are actually exercising it, of course. Try explaining something that you don't understand very well to a friend, though, and you'll notice that the process of explaining will help you clarify your understanding.
30. Do something you enjoy. This is a way to both lower stress and rev up your brain. The key is to do something active. Watching TV doesn't count. Whether it is playing Scrabble or building birdhouses, when you are actively engaged in an activity that you enjoy, you worry less about things and you start to think better.
31. Adjust your beliefs. Believe you are smarter, and you'll become smarter. For this, affirmations may work, but even better is evidence. Make a note of your successes. Tell yourself, "Hey, that was really creative," when you do something creative. When you have a good idea, make a note of it. Gather the evidence for your own intelligence and you'll start to experience more of it.
32. Brain exercises. Do math in your mind while driving. Think of a new use for everything you see. Regular use of the brain has been shown to generate new neuronal growth, and even halt the decline of mental function that often comes with age.
33. Learn new things. This is another way to exercise the brain. It can also be done with little time investment if you use books-on-tapes while driving.
34. Walk. Exercise has been shown to benefit the brain, and walking is one of the best exercises for many. It is low impact, and the rhythmic nature of it seems to put you in a state that is very conducive to clear thinking. In fact, carry a tape recorder with you to take notes, and a twenty minute walk can be a great way to solve problems.
35. Model others. Find others that are creative, intelligent, or very productive. Do what they do, and think what they think. This is a key principle of neuro-linguistic programming. Be careful about taking their advice, though. Successful people often don't really understand why they are successful. Do what they do, not what they say.
36. Eat fish. Eating fish actually speeds up brain waves, and improves concentration. Researchers have also found an almost perfect correlation between intake of fish and lowered levels of depression in the various countries of the world. The U.S. has 24 times the incidence of depression as Japan, for example, where fish intake is much higher.
37. Avoid unnecessary arguments. When you defend a position too vigorously, especially when it is just to "win" the argument, you invest our ego into it. This is not conducive to the easy acceptance and use of new information. In other words, you put your mind in a rut, and you dig it deeper with each argument. Debate can be a valuable thing, but when the ego takes over, the mind closes a little. This is not a recipe for better thinking.
38. Laugh. The release of endorphins caused by laughter lowers stress levels, which is good for long term brain health. Laughter also tends to leave you more open to new ideas and thoughts.
39. Play. Stimulating the brain causes measurable changes in the structure of the brain. New connections are made and new brain cells are grown. Intellectual play, as well as any playing that involves hand-eye coordination stimulates the brain.
40. Do puzzles. Crossword puzzles, lateral thinking puzzles, and even good riddles are a great way to get brain exercise. You can work on them while waiting for a dentist appointment, or on the bus, if you are short on time.
41. Sing. When you are alone in your car, try singing about something you are working on. This taps into and exercises your right brain. Have you ever noticed how it is easier to rhyme when you sing than when you just speak or write? This is because the right brain is better at pattern recognition. By doing this brain exercise regularly you can train yourself to tap into the power of the right brain. This will make you a more effective problem-solver. If you doubt the distinction between the hemispheres of the brain, look at how stutterers can stop stuttering as soon as they start singing. Try it.
42. Nuts. University students in Brazil and other South American countries often eat several Brazil nuts before an exam, believing they are good for their mental power. The evidence is starting to confirm this. Other nuts that have minerals and amino acids that are beneficial to the brain include almonds and walnuts.
43. Olive oil. High in mono-unsaturated fat, olive oil has been shown to improve memory. A cheaper alternative is canola oil, but this hasn't been studied much yet.
44. Vitamin supplements. In studies, children scored higher on tests when on a regimen of daily vitamin supplements. "Experts" will tell you that if you eat a balanced diet, you don't need supplements, which, given the culture here, is really just a sales pitch for vitamins, isn't it? Who eats a perfectly balanced diet?
45. Fiber. It isn't just what goes in, but what comes out that is important to brain function. Toxic build-up in the body and brain can cause "brain fog." People often report clearer thinking as one of the benefits of curing their constipation.
46. Self awareness. This may not seem important to brain power, but it is. When you know yourself better, you can avoid the usual effects of ego and emotion in your seemingly "rational" thinking. Or you can at least take it into account. Watch yourself, especially as you explain things or argue.
47. Motivate yourself. Motivation is as important to mental tasks as it is to any other. Learn a few simple techniques for self motivation. You can start with those in Chapter 8.
48. Avoid too much stress. Neuropsychiastrist Richard Restak, M.D., form the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Services, sums up the research thus: "Stress causes brain damage." Long term stress has repeated been shown to hurt the brain, not to mention the rest of the body. Learn a few stress reduction techniques if you get stressed out often.
49. Get educated. Scientists have known for a while that the less educated get alzheimer's more frequently. Education in any area seems to make the brain stronger.
50. Avoid too much fat. In laboratory studies, animals consistently learn slower when they are on a diet high in fat. Type of fat may make a difference, so you may want to stick to using olive oil and other non-saturated fats. Saturated fats have been shown to actually stunt the growth of brain cells.
51. Eat less. Overeating has the immediate effect of redirecting more blood to the digestive process, leaving less for the brain. Long term, it can cause arterial obstructions that reduce blood flow to the brain permanently. In at least one study, rats on a restricted-calorie diet had more brainpower.
52. Avoid suspect foods. There is evidence that the following foods can be bad for your brain: Artificial food colorings, artificial sweeteners, colas, corn syrup, frostings, high-sugar drinks, hydrogenated fats, sugars, white bread, and any white-flour products.
53. Eat breakfast. When kids who didn't eat breakfast started to eat it, researchers found that their math scores went up a whole grade on average.
54. Avoid diabetes. The development of diabetes coincides with a dropping of IQ scores. In other words, if you want to maintain your brain power, follow your doctors dietary recommendations for preventing or treating diabetes.
55. Eat foods high in antioxidants. Antioxidants protect all your cells, including brain cells. Some of the foods highest in antioxidants include: prunes, raisins, blueberries, blackberries, garlic, kale, cranberries, strawberries, spinach, and raspberries. In one test, rats had age-related mental decline reversed by eating the equivalent of a 1/2 cup of blueberries per day.
56. Drink wine. In moderation, red wine can be good for the brain, it seems. It is rich in antioxidants, which protect brain cells. One glass per day for women and two for men is usually considered a safe and moderate amount.
57. Use alcohol in moderation. In a study at the University of Indiana School of Medicine, elderly light drinkers (fewer than 4 drinks per week) scored higher on tests of thinking abilities than non-drinkers. Those who drank 10 or more drinks per week scored lower. It is known that alcohol can kill brain cells, so moderation seems to be the key.
58. Folic acid. According to one study, 200 micrograms of folic acid, the amount found in 3/4 cup of cooked spinach, alleviates depression and reverses memory loss.
59. Potential brain foods. Other foods that may be good for your brain include: Avocados, bananas, lean beef, brewer's yeast. broccoli, brown rice, brussel sprouts, cantaloupe, cheese, chicken, collard greens, eggs, flaxseed oil, legumes, oatmeal, oranges, peanut butter, peas, potatoes, romaine lettuce, salmon, soybeans, spinach, tuna, turkey, wheat germ, and yogurt.
60. Vitamin E. Jean Carper, in researching her book, "Your Miracle Brain," found that many brain researchers are taking 400 I.U.s of vitamin E daily. It is an antioxidant, and reduces the clogging of blood vessels, including those going in the brain.
61. Vitamin C. Taken in the form of orange juice in a study at the Texas Women's University, vitamin C increased the IQ scores of children.
62. Selenium. 100 micrograms of selenium has been shown to be a mood-elevator. Your brain almost certainly functions better when you are in a better mood. Foods rich in selenium include Brazil nuts and garlic.
63. Alpha-lipoic acid. Alpha-lipoic acid (10 to 50 milligrams daily) improves memory and protects nerve cells.
64. Inositol. This is a safe and natural substance that is often grouped with the B-vitamins. It reduces stress and promotes clear thinking. It contributes to energy production, and so can "wake you up." Animal studies show a measurable increase in physical activity for up to five hours after taking it.
65. Huperzine A. This is a compound extracted from the Chinese club moss. Researchers both in Israel and the U.S. have used it to treat alzheimer's. It improves memory and learning an seems to be very safe.
66. Ask questions. This is a great way to keep your brain in shape. Just get in the habit of asking questions often, even if it is only in your own mind. Why are taller buildings better? what is the purpose of curbs? Ask anything that comes to mind, and ponder the possible answers.
67. Sniff basil. This another of the herbs that may be good for your brain. No studies yet, but many report a brain boost from smelling basil.
68. Temperature. Many people have noted that they think better at certain temperatures. In general, it seems that being slightly cool, but not uncomfortable, is most conducive to good thinking. Try experimenting on yourself to see what temperature works best for you.
69. Use systems. From the time I was ten years old, 12 x 49 was always (12 x 50) - 12. It's easier to figure in your head this way (588, by the way). I didn't get any credit for my personal algorithms then, but they are selling these shortcuts on late-night TV now, because they work. You can find your own easier ways to do mental math or other mental tasks, or read a good book on them.
70. Make a brainpower plan. It takes about twenty to thirty days of repetition to establish new habits, many psychologists will tell you. This means that when you create your plan for better brainpower, be sure you plan to use that new problem solving technique, or eat those new brain foods for at least three weeks. You can use many of the brain boosters here and get immediate results, but it is creating new habits that will give you the most brainpower.
(In no particular order.)
1. Breath deep. More air in means more oxygen in the blood and therefore in the brain. Breath through your nose and you'll notice that you use your diaphragm more, drawing air deeper into your lungs. Several deep breaths can also help to relax you, which is conducive to clearer thinking.
2. Meditate. A simple meditation you can do right now is just closing your eyes and paying attention to your breath. Tensing up your muscles and then relaxing them to start may help. When your mind wanders, just bring your attention back to your breath. Five or ten minutes of this will usually relax you, clear your mind, and leave you more ready for any mental task.
3. Sit up straight. Posture affects your thinking process. Prove it to yourself by doing math in your head while slouching, looking at the floor and letting your mouth hang open. Then do the mental math while sitting up straight, keeping your mouth closed and looking forward or slightly upwards. You'll notice that it's easier to think with the latter posture.
4. Phosphotidyl Serine (PS). This supplement has been shown in clinical studies to increase lucidity and rate of learning. It activates cell-to-cell communication, helps regulate cell growth, improves the functioning of the special receptors found on cells, and prepares cells for activity. In other words, it can help your brain power. It's also thought to reverse memory decline. Phosphatidylserine has no known adverse side effects.
5.Vinpocetine. This extract, derived from an alkaloid found in the Periwinkle plant, is used as a cerebral vasodilator. It increases blood flow to the brain, which improves its oxygenation and thereby increases mental alertness and acuity. Research suggests it may also be the most powerful memory enhancer available to date.
6. Gingko Biloba. The leaves of this tree have been proven to increase blood flow to the brain. The trees are often planted in parks. My friends and I used to eat a few leaves when we wanted a brain boost. It is also inexpensive, if you buy the capsules or tea at any health food store.
7. Saint John's Wort. This is a common weed that may be growing in your yard. Although it's brain enhancing qualities are less documented (studies do show it's usefulness for treating long-term depression), many people swear by it's temporary mood-elevating effect, and our brains tend to function better when we are happy. It is inexpensive, but I used to just collect it in the yard and make tea of it. (Hyperacum Perforatum, if you want to look it up by it's botanical name.)
8. Good thinking habits. Just use a problem solving technique for several weeks and it will become a habit. Redesign everything you see for a while, and that will become a habit. You can develop many good thinking habits with some effort, and then be more resourceful effortlessly from that point on. Use the power of habit.
9. Use dead time. This is time that is otherwise wasted or just under-utilized. Driving time, time spent in waiting rooms, or even time spent raking your yard can be included in this. With a tape player and a trip to a public library, you can start to use this time to listen to books-on-tape. You may spend 200 hours a year in your car. What could you learn in that time?
10. Learn a language. Learning a new language has been shown to halt the age-related decline in brain function. It also introduces your mind to new concepts and new ways of looking at things (in English we are afraid, whereas in Spanish we have fear). It is one of the best brain exercises.
11. Rosemary. This common herb may have an effect on the brain when the scent is inhaled. We are waiting for the research, but some people swear that just sniffing rosemary wakes up their brain. It seems safe, so if you have rosemary in your spice rack, give it a try.
12. Mindfulness exercises. Concentration and clear thinking are more or less automatic once you remove distractions. Learn to stop and watch your busy mind. As you notice things that are subtly bothering you, deal with them. This might mean making a phone call you need to make, or putting things on a list so you can forget them for now. With practice, this becomes easier, and your thinking becomes more powerful.
13. Write. Writing is good for your mind in a number of ways. It is a way to tell your memory what is important, so you'll recall things more easily in the future. It is a way to clarify your thinking. It is a way to exercise your creativity and analytical ability. Diaries, idea-journals, poetry, note-taking and story-writing are all ways to use writing to boost your brain power.
14. Listen to Mozart. In a study at the University of California, researchers found that children who studied piano and sang daily in chorus, were much better at solving puzzles, and when tested, scored 80% higher in spatial intelligence than the non-musical group. In another study, 36 students were given three spatial reasoning tests on a standard IQ test. Just before the first test, they listened to Mozart's sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, K. 448 for ten minutes. Before the second test, they listened to a relaxation tape. Before the third, they sat in silence. The average scores for all 36 students: 1st test: 119. 2nd test: 111. 3rd test: 110. A nine-point boost from Mozart!
15. Develop your intuition. Intuition can be an important part of brainpower. Einstein and others have relied heavily on their intuitive hunches. See Chapter 25 for tips on how to develop your intuition.
16. Avoid foods that cause subtle allergies. These can include wheat, corn, peanuts and dairy products. Watch yourself to see if you have a problem with any of these. They cause digestive problems and brain fog in some people.
17. Sleep better. As long as you get a certain amount of sleep - probably a minimum of five hours - the quality seems to be more important than the quantity. Also, short naps in the afternoon seem to work well to recharge the brain for some people.

18. Caffeine. The research shows higher test scores for students who drink coffee before major exams. My chess game gets better. In other studies, it has been shown that too much caffeine leads to poorer quality decisions. Caffeine affects individuals differently, and has some nasty long-term side effects for some of us, but short-term - it works!
19. Avoid sugar. Any simple carbohydrates can give you "brain fog." Sometimes called the "sugar blues" as well, this sluggish feeling makes it hard to think clearly. It results from the insulin rushing into the bloodstream to counteract the sugar rush. Avoid pasta, sugars, white bread and potato chips before any important mental tasks.
20. Hypnosis audios. The power of suggestion is real, and one way to use it is with hypnosis tapes, CD's or downloads. This type of brain "programing" has more evidence for it than subliminals.
21. Speed reading. Contrary to what many believe, your comprehension of material often goes up when you learn to speed-read. You get to learn a lot more in less time, and it is definitely a good brain exercise.
22. Exercise. Long term exercise can boost brainpower, which isn't surprising. Anything that affects physical health in a positive way probably helps the brain too. Recent research, though, shows that cognitive function is improved immediately after just ten minutes of aerobic exercise. If you need a brain recharge, you might want to walk up and down the stairs a few times.
23. Imaginary friends. Talking to and getting advice from characters in your mind can be a great way to access the information in your subconscious mind. Imagine a conversation with a person who has a lot of knowledge in the area you want advice in.
24. Develop your creativity. Creativity gives power to your thinking. Raw computation can be done by computers now, but humans provide the creative thought that shapes our world. See Chapter 24 for tips on developing your creativity.
25. Learn more efficiently. When you decide to learn something, take notes from the start. Leave each "learning session" with a question or two in mind, to create anticipation and curiosity. Take short breaks, so there will be more beginnings and endings to your studies (Things learned at the beginning or ending of a class or session are remembered better).
26. Use techniques for clear thinking. Cluttered rooms and offices can contribute to cluttered thinking. Organize a space for mental work. Sigh, stretch, and take a deep breath before you start on a tough mental job. Plan some distraction-free time for brainstorming.
27. Brain wave entrainment. The newest brain wave entrainment products are powerful tools for altering your brain function. Some will almost immediately relax you, while others will put your brain waves in a pattern that is most conducive to analytical thinking.

Proceedings B , a journal published by the Royal Society reports that the research showed improvement in working memory and general intelligence resulting from creatine supplementation. The dose used in the study was 5 grams per day. This is about the level used to boost sports performance, and is as much as you'd normally get in four pounds of meat, according to lead researcher Dr. Caroline Rae.
29. Talk. Talking is only good for the brain if you are actually exercising it, of course. Try explaining something that you don't understand very well to a friend, though, and you'll notice that the process of explaining will help you clarify your understanding.
30. Do something you enjoy. This is a way to both lower stress and rev up your brain. The key is to do something active. Watching TV doesn't count. Whether it is playing Scrabble or building birdhouses, when you are actively engaged in an activity that you enjoy, you worry less about things and you start to think better.
31. Adjust your beliefs. Believe you are smarter, and you'll become smarter. For this, affirmations may work, but even better is evidence. Make a note of your successes. Tell yourself, "Hey, that was really creative," when you do something creative. When you have a good idea, make a note of it. Gather the evidence for your own intelligence and you'll start to experience more of it.
32. Brain exercises. Do math in your mind while driving. Think of a new use for everything you see. Regular use of the brain has been shown to generate new neuronal growth, and even halt the decline of mental function that often comes with age.
33. Learn new things. This is another way to exercise the brain. It can also be done with little time investment if you use books-on-tapes while driving.
34. Walk. Exercise has been shown to benefit the brain, and walking is one of the best exercises for many. It is low impact, and the rhythmic nature of it seems to put you in a state that is very conducive to clear thinking. In fact, carry a tape recorder with you to take notes, and a twenty minute walk can be a great way to solve problems.
35. Model others. Find others that are creative, intelligent, or very productive. Do what they do, and think what they think. This is a key principle of neuro-linguistic programming. Be careful about taking their advice, though. Successful people often don't really understand why they are successful. Do what they do, not what they say.
36. Eat fish. Eating fish actually speeds up brain waves, and improves concentration. Researchers have also found an almost perfect correlation between intake of fish and lowered levels of depression in the various countries of the world. The U.S. has 24 times the incidence of depression as Japan, for example, where fish intake is much higher.
37. Avoid unnecessary arguments. When you defend a position too vigorously, especially when it is just to "win" the argument, you invest our ego into it. This is not conducive to the easy acceptance and use of new information. In other words, you put your mind in a rut, and you dig it deeper with each argument. Debate can be a valuable thing, but when the ego takes over, the mind closes a little. This is not a recipe for better thinking.
38. Laugh. The release of endorphins caused by laughter lowers stress levels, which is good for long term brain health. Laughter also tends to leave you more open to new ideas and thoughts.
39. Play. Stimulating the brain causes measurable changes in the structure of the brain. New connections are made and new brain cells are grown. Intellectual play, as well as any playing that involves hand-eye coordination stimulates the brain.
40. Do puzzles. Crossword puzzles, lateral thinking puzzles, and even good riddles are a great way to get brain exercise. You can work on them while waiting for a dentist appointment, or on the bus, if you are short on time.
41. Sing. When you are alone in your car, try singing about something you are working on. This taps into and exercises your right brain. Have you ever noticed how it is easier to rhyme when you sing than when you just speak or write? This is because the right brain is better at pattern recognition. By doing this brain exercise regularly you can train yourself to tap into the power of the right brain. This will make you a more effective problem-solver. If you doubt the distinction between the hemispheres of the brain, look at how stutterers can stop stuttering as soon as they start singing. Try it.
42. Nuts. University students in Brazil and other South American countries often eat several Brazil nuts before an exam, believing they are good for their mental power. The evidence is starting to confirm this. Other nuts that have minerals and amino acids that are beneficial to the brain include almonds and walnuts.
43. Olive oil. High in mono-unsaturated fat, olive oil has been shown to improve memory. A cheaper alternative is canola oil, but this hasn't been studied much yet.
44. Vitamin supplements. In studies, children scored higher on tests when on a regimen of daily vitamin supplements. "Experts" will tell you that if you eat a balanced diet, you don't need supplements, which, given the culture here, is really just a sales pitch for vitamins, isn't it?

Long term stress has repeated been shown to hurt the brain, not to mention the rest of the body. Learn a few stress reduction techniques if you get stressed out often.
49. Get educated. Scientists have known for a while that the less educated get alzheimer's more frequently. Education in any area seems to make the brain stronger.
50. Avoid too much fat. In laboratory studies, animals consistently learn slower when they are on a diet high in fat. Type of fat may make a difference, so you may want to stick to using olive oil and other non-saturated fats. Saturated fats have been shown to actually stunt the growth of brain cells.
51. Eat less. Overeating has the immediate effect of redirecting more blood to the digestive process, leaving less for the brain. Long term, it can cause arterial obstructions that reduce blood flow to the brain permanently. In at least one study, rats on a restricted-calorie diet had more brainpower.
52. Avoid suspect foods. There is evidence that the following foods can be bad for your brain: Artificial food colorings, artificial sweeteners, colas, corn syrup, frostings, high-sugar drinks, hydrogenated fats, sugars, white bread, and any white-flour products.
53. Eat breakfast. When kids who didn't eat breakfast started to eat it, researchers found that their math scores went up a whole grade on average.
54. Avoid diabetes. The development of diabetes coincides with a dropping of IQ scores. In other words, if you want to maintain your brain power, follow your doctors dietary recommendations for preventing or treating diabetes.
55. Eat foods high in antioxidants. Antioxidants protect all your cells, including brain cells. Some of the foods highest in antioxidants include: prunes, raisins, blueberries, blackberries, garlic, kale, cranberries, strawberries, spinach, and raspberries. In one test, rats had age-related mental decline reversed by eating the equivalent of a 1/2 cup of blueberries per day.
56. Drink wine. In moderation, red wine can be good for the brain, it seems. It is rich in antioxidants, which protect brain cells. One glass per day for women and two for men is usually considered a safe and moderate amount.
57. Use alcohol in moderation. In a study at the University of Indiana School of Medicine, elderly light drinkers (fewer than 4 drinks per week) scored higher on tests of thinking abilities than non-drinkers. Those who drank 10 or more drinks per week scored lower. It is known that alcohol can kill brain cells, so moderation seems to be the key.
58. Folic acid. According to one study, 200 micrograms of folic acid, the amount found in 3/4 cup of cooked spinach, alleviates depression and reverses memory loss.
59. Potential brain foods. Other foods that may be good for your brain include: Avocados, bananas, lean beef, brewer's yeast. broccoli, brown rice, brussel sprouts, cantaloupe, cheese, chicken, collard greens, eggs, flaxseed oil, legumes, oatmeal, oranges, peanut butter, peas, potatoes, romaine lettuce, salmon, soybeans, spinach, tuna, turkey, wheat germ, and yogurt.

This means that when you create your plan for better brainpower, be sure you plan to use that new problem solving technique, or eat those new brain foods for at least three weeks. You can use many of the brain boosters here and get immediate results, but it is creating new habits that will give you the most brainpower.

Class Clean Up!
22nd May,
It is saturday,
me, my classmates, and my class teacher.
Pn Caroline Vimla and the "Lower Arts 1" @@
having gotong royong in my class.
Most of us take part on this activity,
it shows we LA1 are positive.
Very good :P
We still haven't get the paint yet,
so we only can do some cleaning jobs.
There are less things to do, so we call it a day earlier.
We started to talk to each other,
make friends with each other,
unlike the previous time we meet...
26th May,
Wednesday, and it's a Co-Curriculum day after school.
The Co-Curriculum are not having any activity to Form 6 today.
Because our upper form 6 are having exam.
The school take opportunity to beautify the school.
there will be some VIP visitors coming here tomorrow.
So, we be the victims to lend out our hands.
But at the same time,
our class teacher took this time to "renovate" our class too.
That's great, we don't need to come again for doing this another day.
She brought the paint, tools, and some useful poster for our class.
While we contribute our help by painting n decorate the class.
Some of us stay back after school to finish the painting.
After finishing all the jobs, it's around 4pm+
But I feel happy n satisfy for wad I had done.
Go back home happily, TIRED!! -_-
No picture was taken on that day,
because we forget to bring our camera..
By the way,
We need to face each other as a classmates for one n a half year.
That's why get to know each other is very important.
I hope that, we could corporate together...
So that in further days ,
the class will not have problems.
I can feel that this class will be the best class ever been in my life ^^

How To Remove BLACKHEADS
Here are the tips on how to remove blackheads. But before that, knowing what is the cause is also important. Almost everyone encounter acne problem during their age of teen. It is commonly caused by a bacterium which builds up in our skin pores and spreads to other part. Besides, growing blackheads is also due to our active hormone in teen age. White and black heads are both considered acne. Thankfully we can actually get rid of these irritating blackheads.
Blackheads are usually caused by heredity, eating a lots of improper food, stressed, living in a dusty area, sensitivity of some cosmetic product and hormones. So how do we remove blackheads? I have listed some treatment method for blackheads below.
one of the common method to heal blackheads is to wash your face twice a day with facial foam designed for acne. Besides try this, rub fresh garlic on your pimples(not scars). Acne will be vanished in no time. This is a proven instant treatment for acne, but again it is not for everyone. Next you might need to drink a lot of wheatgrass juice, as wheat grass can effectively remove acne and blackheads due to its anti-acne agent.
Diet good for removing blackheads
You need to drink at least 8 glass of water everyday because water is the most important substance for your body’s health, it helps remove toxin, just try google drinking water benefits then you’ll know what I’m talking about. In short, it helps clear the skin and maintain skin elasticity, and of course, remove acne.
Fruit that is rich with vitamin C is a must, eat more of these to promote your skin’s health. It really helps remove acne. Zinc is important as well, which is responsible for oil-producing glands of the skin, maintain zinc intake to prevent acne breakouts.
Now you know how to remove blackheads from the health tips above. Here are some other resources on acne. Read this facts of acne and home remedies to treat pimples. Hope that they can give you a clear idea of removing and preventing acne blackheads breakouts.
Chinese Green Tea Diet Health Benefits
Since Ken bro are alerting my blogs "science" part...
I would like to share more information,
which I know...
XD
Enjoy bro :X
Since its first recorded use under Emperor Shen Nung, the link between Chinese green tea diet and good health has never been interrupted. Today, further studies are conducted to test the benefits of the remarkable health elixir.
Health benefits of traditional diet
According to tradition, this diet can cure everything from headaches, body aches and pains to constipation and depression. Over the centuries, more health claims on behalf of Chinese green tea diet.
It detoxifies the body. The presence of polyphenols, a natural antioxidant in this particular tea is said to combat harmful free radicals and helps the body free from diseases. In this regard, Chinese green tea helps maintain the general welfare of the body. He fights with the anti-aging as antioxidants can increase immunity, preserve young-looking skin, and make your eyes.
Additional health benefits of green tea increases blood flow in the body. Because it contains a little caffeine, consume this drink stimulates the heart and allows blood to flow more freely through blood vessels. For the same reason that tea stimulates blood flow, it also stimulates mental clarity.
For many years, men of science remained skeptical about the health claims of enthusiasts, Chinese green tea diet, because health benefits are very large in number. Their doubt was changed to a more positive reception when, after scientists had proved its disease prevention properties and confirm the majority of health claims.
The Heart
Study after study has shown that drinking green tea and eating foods rich in polyphenol reduces risk of cardiac complications. It helps to strengthen the blood vessels that provide valuable nutrients and oxygen to the heart and brain. She has also studied, men who use food that is 75% less ability to attack from those who are not used for food.
Green tea diet helps lower total cholesterol and improving the relationship between LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. The survey shows that men who drink nine or more cups of Chinese green tea daily have lower cholesterol than those who drank less than two cups. While nine cups may seem like a lot, which is divided during the day, and realize that it is not hard to drink that many cups. You can have one during and after each meal and during the breaks.
I really need to learn more. In the silent killer Exposed reveals and gives you the information that must be preserved intact in the blood system. Visit it here.
Durability
Role of the Chinese for "diet" to promote longevity has been studied for many researchers. They found the premise for their study on observing Japanese women who are older than the average green tea drink, have lower mortality rates than others. This led researchers to believe that diet is a "protective factor against premature death."The polyphenols found in foods can not be held responsible. With its high amount of polyphenols, it seems to have a stimulating effect on the immune system. A stronger immune system, caused by drinking green tea helps reduce the risk of getting many diseases.
If these health benefits, making Chinese green tea diet can not motivate you to start drinking this miracle in a cup, chances are you will never be motivated to lose weight. So start today and drink up. Health benefits beyond weight loss!
