Today, our neighbour's pub managress came to our shop to do foot massage. I took the opportunity to chat with her. I see her in the Pub almost every day, before the chat, I thought she is a poor uneducated Philipino girl, the only choice is working in the Pub, company the clients to drink till the wee hour to earn the miserable income to support the family. But I have an surprised answers.
This single mum has came to Singapore almost 20 years already. She worked as a nurse when she first came to Singapore. Now, she works in office to do accounts and admin in the morning from 8am to 2pm, then she came to the Pub in Lucky Plaza to cook and prepare the food for sales in the Pub. She will serve the customers and looks after those girls in Lucky Plaza till 1pm. After that she will go to Orchard Tower, her boss's second outlet to look after the business there untill 3pm. She reaches home at 4pm, and sleeps at 5pm. She will wake up at 7.30pm. She only sleeps for two and half hours every day except Saturday, Sunday and Public holiday.
Since she works like a robot, how much she makes every month? She has invested a two storey house in Holland Village five years ago. She paid about S$800,000/++ for the house, now this house can easily sell for 1.6 millions. She pays about S$4000/++ installment per month. Her total installment is 14 years. She rented out her rooms to three couples at S$800/each. She also help her mum and her sisters in Philiphines to build houses. I guessed she make four to five thousand per month. But I am wrong, she can make minimum S$9K per months. She got her basis salary, plus the 5% bonus when the target is hitted.
S$9000/per month! Many people claimed they have no money, but who is willing to get out of their comfort zone to make the money to meet their desire of their live!
I salute this lady for whatever she is.

The "Beautiful" Sad story
Last few day, I have a client from London. I did body massage, padicure and manicure for her. Actually she was a Singaporean who has been living in London since she was 21 years old. She was a former RI girl. I have total spent almost 6 hours with her, we chatted for a lot of things.
She stay alone in London with her "lovely child" of 11 years. "Her child" will have 30,000 sterling pound from her will, so that some one will look after "her child" if she die. This loving child of hers actually is a cat. When she travel, she put her cat in the animal hotel. She will have to pay 20 pound a day for the hotel. Since the cat is very closed to her, she doesn't want to stress the cat for too long, so she constraints herself she can only out for 2 and a half week the most every time she travel. She saved this cat when it was 6 months old. This cat can sense its owner. When the lady was on her way home in London, her cat will wait at the patio 15 mins before she arrived as though she has informed it to wait for her. The cat slept with her in the same bed every night. In the cold day, she even slept on her starmach.
This lady though is 72 years old, you can see that she must be a beautiful lady when she was young. She told me she was borned a beautiful baby. A few rich family wanted to adapt her as their daughter because she was so beautiful. Her mother didnot agreed of course but become very protective of her. When she grown up, her beauty was admired by so many people. She got brown hair, big eyes and nice skin, even the teacher said she must be adapted. Her mother used to hide her inside the room whenever there are young man or young boy visited their house. Whenever, her sisters' boyfriends saw her, would like to courtship her instead of her sisters. Even for her girl friends, it happened the same things. The girls would come after her why she steal their boy friends. The boy would tell her since he was not married to any one, they got the right to go for any girl they dream of. She was beaten up by her mother whenever there are boys wrote love letter to her. She said she didn't even know who were these boys some time. She didn't have chance to join any functions, partyies because she was too beautiful her mother ddin't allow her to join. Wherever she appeared, she would steal the lime light. Therefore, from young she hate and resent her beauty. She wished she was a Malay with dark skin. When her father tried to matchmade her to a rich tin miner in Malaysia, she found an excuse travel to London, after that she refused to come back to Singapore to commit any commitment made by her parents.
When she was in London, she loved to have sun bath. At that time, she didnot known about sunblock lotion, she used cooking oil applied to her face and the body, and she sun bath the whole afternoon. Of couse she has damaged her skin. She said she was practically cooked by the sun when using cooking oil over her face. She remembered she could peel layer and layer of skin from her face! She was not married until one year her mother visited her in London and told her she could not closed her eyes if she didn't see her get married in her life time. She has deep love for her mother, so she married at 41. However, the marriage did not work out, it broke off after 2 years because of adultery.
When her mother lived with her in London. One day, they have a fight over certain issues. So, she poured out her thought to her mother. She has thought all these years, her mother hate her and didn't love her, thats why she has beaten her and prohibited her from freedom. After hearing her cries, her mother broke down and knee down to her for her forgiven. She clarified her love for her, it is really the non-communication.
She said when her mum suffered stroked and couldn't talk and bed ridden. When she came back to Singapore to see her mum, her mum has very big reaction whenever, she saw her dear beloved daughter. Her other sister so jealous of her that said, "even we are the one that look after her also never get the same attention of what she got from her mum. "
Her mum ever disclosed to her that she wanted to give all her wealth to her, she requested her mum not to do that. Mum wanted to do this because she felt that she was not married and she was alone, money will help her. She declined her mum because this money she beleived would kill her relationship with her sisters and brothers. Futhermore, London is a welfare state, she got medical insurance from the Government, she got free medical care, she already got a house, she was alone, she no need to look after any one, so she no need so much money. In fact, when she die, she will donote all her money to charity and her cat.
She had many opportunity to marry rich guy, but she was not interested. When she married, she married to someone under social welfare scheme.
Don't you think this is a "beautiful" sad story of her. I do think so.
She has another friend even more sad. This friend of hers was a very wealthy rich lady living in Nassim Ave. She got many beautiful houses. She was a vigin all her life. Then, when she turned 65, she became crazy. She fantasized about sex life. She wanted to try out SEX before she die. She went alone to Europe tour. During the tour, she met a young handsome guy only 25 years old. She wanted to marry him. All her friends disapproved of her. She started to avoid everyone, and go ahead what she has been wanted all this while. She married the 25 years old Persian man. After her wedding day, she was so shy to call any of her friends so she called my client who lived in London. Prabably, she thought that London people is more open to discuss any things including sex life. The poor old lady told my clients her husband did not has sex with her after the marriage, he said she was too urgly and too old to arose him. He could not have sex with her! She tried all methods, she shaft her hair, putting perfum, put on beautiful dress............................... She asked my client how to make the man to have sex with her. My client told her the only way is he must love her. After 2 years of marriage, she has passed away, without sex we believed. My clients thought this man must have killed her friend. Lucily the old lady's brother was clever to sign the preagreement with the man, eventually, the man only get away 20 millions dollors, the old lady's family kept the 80 millions.
She said her niece, a sucessful lawyer who is 60 years old now also recently married to a guy who was ex Santa Hussin guard. She hope that she well for her marriage.
We ever saw some rich lonely lady, whenever, they go for function, she paid 700 to 2000 for a night for a guy so good looking and good in dancing to accompany her. We also seen some old lady went to Chin Mei to pay for service from young man there.
The most "popupar" Taiwanese lady, She choon Mei, she will buy Safari race car and and apartment to "her lover" but under installment plan. I supposed when there is no service from the man, the guy also can't find so much money to service the loan. Compare to the 65 years old lady and She Choon Mei, we think She Choon Mei is a much clever lady.
Girls who wish to have sex and marriage, they should do it when they are young and pretty, don't wait till 60.

Play cheat in the office
Yesterday heard from our beautian that her beauty products salesgirl was caught red handed that she had kept more that S$20,000/- cash from the company, the company called her husband to settle the case. The husband eventually asked his boss to settle the twenty over thousand dollars on his behalf so that the company will not take action and report the case to the police.
We are all wondering what happen to her? Why she want to do such things? Last Saturday, she had just celebrated her daughter's birthday party in the East Coast Park. Every Sunday, their whole family attend church at City hall. She has portraited she has a loving husband and 2 understanding children. We just wonder what happen...............she seems a wonderful person............how can it happen?
Today, the picture had been clearer. This lady trying to cheat the company that she had hit the quota/target by forging the existing customers to place orders that doesn't exist. She manipulated the sales figures! She has been manipulated it for almost a year! I think this is the excess order she has order from the company, so that she can earn her incentives, bonus, or whatsoever.
She probally has kept quite a bit of stocks in her house, hence she doesn't have the amounts of money in her hand to pay back the money. The problem is after her incident was expose, she told her college that every where practice such methods. Its sound like it is totally alright with her, there is nothing wrong on her part, she just practice industrial norm.
She didn't realise that if not for her husband, she could be put into jail for corruption, or cheating whatever name judge could name it. She doesn't feel shame because she is the daughter of our almighty God. It is true that she doesn't know what is she doing?
Is it worth doing this way to bit the recession blue? Slower sales figures are expected during such recession period. Can we face the reality instead of resort to cheating?
The most wonderful things are this happy family is a new family. This lady's first husband actually is an abusive guy who hit her hard every time. She still proudly told others she was that type of woman that still serve tea to the abusive husband after the hit. This is her second marriage, and the children are from her first marriage. She was such a lucky lady that could find a second chance to start life over again.
Hopefully, she has learnt her lessons, after this incidents. And she will grow up as a wiser woman as we all see her a person that possess the capability to work. She probably need to work harder to achieve the real goal. No more cheating in future. God bless her.

My vision of our city
Vision 1:
Recently USA has completely switched from analog TV era to digital TV era. I see that Singapore in the near future will be do the same things. The rate for the digital TV will be lower and more new and old show can be viewed by demand. Our TV will be changing to LCD screen which is brighter, nicer and cheaper too.
Vision 2:
There are many complaints about the taxi, passergers always complaint not enough taxi or no taxi available. In future, all these complaints will be in the past, because in the future, all taxi will have the satallise connection to one company who are able to control all the taxi and are able to know where is the location of the taxi. From the control station, the company know the exact location of the taxi, whether there are resting or working.

Internet lover
Today my friend told me about her friend's unbelieveable love story.
Five years ago, her friend Ann, a 24 years old Malaysian girl, found a on line friend who is also a Malaysian, and working in the State illigelly. He works as a cook. They chat over the msn and see each other from the video cam and they can fell in loved.
The man advice the girl not to work, and he will support her by giving her the monthly allowance. Eventually, the girl has the money to buy a car, and paid for the deposit of a house. The man has probably supported her about US$60,000/-.
For the past five years, this girl did not see the man in real person, because she failed to get a valid visa to the USA due to her poor education level. That man regarded her like his wife and kept sending money to her for the past five years.
He recently join venture with friends to open a big restaurant in the State. He was holding 5% share, but he will not have name registered because of his illigel states.
And one day, the man told the girl he has found a new girl friend from China, and that is............ no more money, no more news, no more msn, no more facework....................................he has just disappeared from this world.
Left the girl broken heart, because she has put in her heart and soul to love this invisible man who regards her as his wife, and shower her with so many gifts and support. Some more this girl has some physical shortcome. She has a weak neck, she can't hold her neck properly because of the sickness during her young day.
She is broken and desperate for money now, because she has installment to be paid............... and no more support.
When I heard the story, I said she should see things at the bright side. Some people don't even get anythings out from the marriage. She did not lose any things and she has much to gain.
She should feel console already.
I also wish I can find one man like this. Anyone out there can help me by sending me money and just by chatting with me................wow I will be like living in a dream.....................so unreal......................so mistery.

從不知道洋蔥那麼偉大
送您夏天好吃涼拌洋蔥作法:
1.洋蔥洗淨切絲.
2.容器內裝冰水，將洋蔥絲浸於冰水中，置冰箱下層泠藏.
3.隔天撈_洋蔥拌蠔油，好吃無辛味的生菜. 洋蔥比骨質酥鬆症的藥有效家庭主婦不愛用洋蔥做菜，處理時會讓人流眼淚，很多人也怕洋蔥味。除非是手藝高超的洋蔥料理，
否則真的很難找到洋蔥的熱愛者。 但是想要讓自己骨骼結實、身體長得高、預防骨質酥鬆症的人，最好還是乖乖地捏著鼻子吃洋蔥吧。
因為權威期刊「自然」的最新研究報告指出，洋蔥是最能夠防止骨質流失的一種蔬菜。洋蔥預防骨質流失的效果，
甚至比骨質酥鬆症治療藥品「calcitonin」還要好。 研究人員讓雄性大白鼠每天吃一公克乾洋蔥，連續四週後，公白鼠的骨質平均增加了13.5-18%。另一組實驗則發現，
讓大白鼠食用含有洋蔥的混合蔬菜，也能夠減少骨質流失問題。第三組實驗則是讓摘除卵巢的雌性大白鼠每天吃1.5公克的洋蔥，
結果骨質流失的速率減少了25%。更值得注意的是，洋蔥的保健功效在短短12小時內就看得到了。 研究人員認為，洋蔥的效果可能來自於「預防骨質流失」，因此想要利用洋蔥保健的人，每天可能要吃上200-300公克（10盎司）的洋蔥，
才能夠預防骨質酥鬆症。醫食同源，在我們日常食物中，有很多蔬菜水果都具有藥物般的療效；像西餐裡少不了的配菜洋蔥，
它對身體的好處簡直超乎想像。 洋蔥炒蛋，或洋蔥炒牛肉，都是美味無比的健康菜；而洋蔥還可以用來生吃或榨汁喝，根據醫學實驗，它更能發揮多種神奇療效。
【洋蔥可以預防膽固醇過高】 據哈佛醫學院心臟科教授克多格爾威治博士指出，每天生吃半個洋蔥，或喝等量的洋蔥汁平均可增加心臟病人約30%的HDL含量（HDL為高密度脂蛋白膽固醇，一種被認為有助於預防動脈粥狀硬化的膽固醇，也是一種的好的膽固醇。）每天生吃半個洋蔥，或喝等量的洋蔥汁，以保護心臟，這原是個民間偏方，克多博士在自己的診所裡對病人進行實驗，證明洋蔥確有提升好膽固醇的療效，不過洋蔥煮得越熟越不具效果。
【洋蔥可以分解脂肪】 克多博士讓診所裡的心臟病人每天吃洋蔥，結果發現洋蔥裡所含的化合物也能阻止血小板凝結，並加速血液凝塊溶解。所以
當你享用高脂肪食物時，最好能搭配些許洋蔥，將有助於抵銷高脂肪食物引起的血液凝塊；所以說牛排通常搭配洋蔥一起吃，
是很有道理? 滿C
【洋蔥可以預防胃癌】 洋蔥和大蒜、大蔥、韭菜這些蔥屬蔬菜，因含有抗癌的化學物質，據研究人員在中國山東省一個胃癌罹患率很高的地方所做的調查發現，當洋蔥吃得越多，得胃癌的機率就越低。
【洋蔥可以對抗哮喘】 洋蔥含有至少三種抗發炎的天然化學物質，可以治療哮喘。由於洋蔥可以抑制組織胺的動，
而組織胺正是一種會引起哮喘過敏症狀的化學物質；據德國的研究，洋蔥可以使哮喘的發作機率降低一半左右。
【洋蔥可以治療糖尿病】 很久以前，洋蔥就被用來治療糖尿病，到F現代，醫學也證明洋蔥確實能夠降血糖而且不論生食或熟食，都同樣有效果。
原來洋蔥裡有一種抗糖尿病的化合物，類似常用的口服降血糖劑甲磺丁胺，具有刺激胰島素合成及釋放的作用。
【洋蔥還有其他多種療效】 洋蔥的妙用還不止上述這些，在日常生活中，洋蔥還可用來防治失眠：將切碎的洋蔥放置於枕邊，洋蔥特有的刺激成分，
會發揮鎮靜神經、誘人入眠的神奇功效。 感冒的時候，喝加了洋蔥的熱味噌湯，很快就可發汗退燒。如果鼻塞，以一小片洋蔥抵住鼻孔，洋蔥的刺激氣味，
會促使鼻子瞬間暢通起來。 如果咳嗽，以紗布包裹切碎的洋蔥，覆蓋於喉嚨到胸口，也可以很快抑制咳嗽。
1.洋蔥洗淨切絲.
2.容器內裝冰水，將洋蔥絲浸於冰水中，置冰箱下層泠藏.

它對身體的好處簡直超乎想像。 洋蔥炒蛋，或洋蔥炒牛肉，都是美味無比的健康菜；而洋蔥還可以用來生吃或榨汁喝，根據醫學實驗，它更能發揮多種神奇療效。
【洋蔥可以預防膽固醇過高】 據哈佛醫學院心臟科教授克多格爾威治博士指出，每天生吃半個洋蔥，或喝等量的洋蔥汁平均可增加心臟病人約30%的HDL含量（HDL為高密度脂蛋白膽固醇，一種被認為有助於預防動脈粥狀硬化的膽固醇，也是一種的好的膽固醇。）每天生吃半個洋蔥，或喝等量的洋蔥汁，以保護心臟，這原是個民間偏方，克多博士在自己的診所裡對病人進行實驗，證明洋蔥確有提升好膽固醇的療效，不過洋蔥煮得越熟越不具效果。
【洋蔥可以分解脂肪】 克多博士讓診所裡的心臟病人每天吃洋蔥，結果發現洋蔥裡所含的化合物也能阻止血小板凝結，並加速血液凝塊溶解。所以
當你享用高脂肪食物時，最好能搭配些許洋蔥，將有助於抵銷高脂肪食物引起的血液凝塊；所以說牛排通常搭配洋蔥一起吃，
是很有道理? 滿C
【洋蔥可以預防胃癌】 洋蔥和大蒜、大蔥、韭菜這些蔥屬蔬菜，因含有抗癌的化學物質，據研究人員在中國山東省一個胃癌罹患率很高的地方所做的調查發現，當洋蔥吃得越多，得胃癌的機率就越低。
【洋蔥可以對抗哮喘】 洋蔥含有至少三種抗發炎的天然化學物質，可以治療哮喘。由於洋蔥可以抑制組織胺的動，
而組織胺正是一種會引起哮喘過敏症狀的化學物質；據德國的研究，洋蔥可以使哮喘的發作機率降低一半左右。
【洋蔥可以治療糖尿病】 很久以前，洋蔥就被用來治療糖尿病，到F現代，醫學也證明洋蔥確實能夠降血糖而且不論生食或熟食，都同樣有效果。
原來洋蔥裡有一種抗糖尿病的化合物，類似常用的口服降血糖劑甲磺丁胺，具有刺激胰島素合成及釋放的作用。
【洋蔥還有其他多種療效】 洋蔥的妙用還不止上述這些，在日常生活中，洋蔥還可用來防治失眠：將切碎的洋蔥放置於枕邊，洋蔥特有的刺激成分，
會發揮鎮靜神經、誘人入眠的神奇功效。 感冒的時候，喝加了洋蔥的熱味噌湯，很快就可發汗退燒。如果鼻塞，以一小片洋蔥抵住鼻孔，洋蔥的刺激氣味，
會促使鼻子瞬間暢通起來。 如果咳嗽，以紗布包裹切碎的洋蔥，覆蓋於喉嚨到胸口，也可以很快抑制咳嗽。
葡萄很好──尤其是易過敏及都市人
葡萄神奇效用新發現！從裡到外都有健康Power夏日的水果很多，但卻沒有1種和葡萄一樣，從果肉、種籽甚至果皮，都能作為食材，且具不同的健康功效！快來看看小小的葡萄有什麼大功用，和最聰明的攝取方法吧！
100g葡萄含有
熱量57卡、鉀 120m g、鈣 4m g、鎂 5m g、維他命C 4m g
葡萄皮--改善過敏當花粉等異物入侵時，人體會釋放出組織胺（Histamine）等發炎物質，造成打噴嚏、流鼻水以排出異物的症狀。 葡萄皮中的白蔾蘆醇（resveratrol）能抑制發炎物質的運作，緩和過敏症狀。要攝取葡萄皮中的抗敏成份，推薦妳實用去除水份、濃縮營養的葡萄乾。 【Smart攝取方式】1天吃 50g葡萄乾，就有改善過敏症狀的功效哦！ 葡萄乾--整腸作用超強1天吃 84g 葡萄乾，就能有效縮短便便在腸內滯留的時間，消除便秘哦！ 在葡萄乾裡被發現的酒石酸，是葡萄特有的物質，它在胃酸中消化後進入腸道，能吸附造成便秘、癌細胞的有害物質，並排出體外，再配上葡萄乾的食物纖維，能發揮整腸作用。 葡萄籽--去除自由基 葡萄籽所含的前花青素是唯有在葡萄內才有的物質，有超強抗酸化的功用，能與多酚結合，在自由基傷害細胞前將它除去，並能運行於全身，預防細胞老化。 要攝取葡萄籽，最有效的方法就是飲用以整顆葡萄發酵製成的紅酒，因為紅酒會將葡萄籽的成份全部榨出來。 【Smart攝取方式】1天喝 180g紅酒（約2杯），就能達到去除自由基的功效。 果肉--改善腦機能 忙碌的現代生活中，總是不斷要追趕、吸收最新的訊息，再加上睡眠不足、龐大的工作壓力，多數人都呈現慢性腦部疲乏的狀態！ 此時腦部會產生過多的磷酸肌酸（phosphoenol-pyrurate），阻撓神經順利傳達訊息，導致記憶力減弱。而葡萄果肉中含有特殊胺基酸，構造和神經傳達物質類似，有助於提升腦機能。
【Smart攝取方式】 因1 天攝取 0.2m g 的葡萄胺基酸，就能達到提升腦部活力的功效。
所以葡萄是寶，1天只要吃12顆就能變聰明唷！

葡萄乾能袪病延年
自由基的最佳剋星──葡萄乾
現在這個時代，葡萄乾是一種很普遍的食物，他不像生葡萄一般具有季節性，而且價格相當低廉，一年到頭都可以購買到。別看葡萄乾外型很小，不起眼，但是它卻含有對我們的健康很有幫助的成分。
葡萄乾的營養價值非常高，它的主要成份為葡萄糖；葡萄糖在體內被吸收後，立刻就會變成身體所需要的能源。正因為如此，它對恢復疲勞非常有效。除此之外，葡萄乾也含有非常豐富的鐵，所以它對貧血症狀也很有功效。
葡萄乾跟生葡萄最不同的地方為──葡萄乾必須經過曝曬的過程。正因為如此，它含有生葡萄所缺乏的貴重成分，其中的一種為多元酚。
我們的身體有所謂「自由基」的物質，它的職責是保護我們的身體，以免受到病原菌的侵犯。不過，這只是在一般的情況之下才有的現象。一旦以某種理由使自由基的作用變成超常的話，它將會干擾到細胞的正常狀態，導致黑斑、皺紋等老化現象，並且還會成為癌、動脈硬化、高血壓、糖尿病等現代文明病的原因。
為了保護身體，以免受到自由基之害，必須攝取能夠消除自由基的抗氧化物質。以食品所含有的抗氧化物質來說，最為大眾所知曉的，就是紅葡萄酒所含有的多元酚。但是，「多元酚」有很多不同種類，它們的作用力與效力各有不同。如果考慮到我們身體狀況的話，最好是攝取含多元酚最多、效果比較好、又不必費時間處理的葡萄乾。
葡萄所含有的多元酚集中於果皮的部分，所以想多攝取多元酚的話，那就必須連果皮也吃下去。但是一般人在吃葡萄時總是剝掉葡萄的果皮，只吃裡面的果肉；這樣的吃法不可能充分地攝取到多元酚。
所以就這一點來說，葡萄乾由於顆粒比生葡萄小得很多，所以很容易地連皮跟種子都吃進去，這樣的吃法才能得到效果，當然也能夠攝取到大量的多元酚。
葡萄乾加醋，將使效果更好
以效果方面來說，葡萄是不能跟葡萄乾相比的。以綠茶所含有的抗氧化物質「兒茶酸」來說，它的化學組合只有單獨一個而已。
然而，葡萄乾的化學組合卻有三到四個，而且連在一起，形狀顯得非常大。此種物質稱之為「花色素」，具有很強大的抗氧化力。
葡萄乾經過曝曬後的效果也不能忽略的。
葡萄乾的第一個優點是，經過脫水的過程後，由於它的成分被濃縮，所以就算吃很少的量，也可以充分地吸收花色素等有效成分。
葡萄乾的第二個優點是，它不像生葡萄容易腐壞，能夠長期地保存。
葡萄乾含有很多的糖分，所以黴菌等微生物很難繁殖，保存起來相當地容易。
過去人們在製造葡萄乾時，喜歡把連皮帶子的葡萄曬乾，而後加以保存。這種做法以現代科學眼光看來，也是非常合乎道理。因為葡萄皮所含有的多元酚，具有防止黴菌生成的作用。
說到此，相信大家都已經明白了葡萄乾所具備的好處。但是，有一種方法可以使這種好處倍增，那就是使用醋來醃漬葡萄乾。 我們日常所使用的醋具有很多種功能，那就是─
１．提高我們身體的代謝機能。
２．快速地消除疲勞。
３．消除多餘的脂肪，使血流暢通，偏高的血壓降低，血壓歸於正常。
４．消除肥胖。
５．使胃腸機能轉好，消除便秘。
由此可見，醋不僅能夠預防成人病，改善各種病症，同時也能夠解決女性的煩惱。
葡萄乾與醋配合之後，葡萄乾將變成酸性，如此一來，使它所含有的花色素更趨安定。
正因為如此，葡萄乾只要與醋配合，將有如老虎添翼一般，能夠更有利地發揮出花色素的效 果。
但是，由於葡萄乾含有的卡路里稍高，雖然他有益健康又美味可口，但還是不要吃太多。
一天適合的葡萄乾攝取量為一大匙，醋的攝取量也不宜超過一大匙。
加醋葡萄乾的做法
加醋葡萄乾做起來不廢時也不費力，很合乎經濟的原則。只要準備兩樣東西──葡萄乾與醋﹝最好用天然釀造醋；各大超市均有售﹞就夠了。
以下介紹兩種醋葡萄乾的做法：一種是做好就可以吃；另外一種是必須醃製一夜才能夠吃。讀者可衡量自己的時間，從中選擇一種吧！
立刻就可以吃的「醋葡萄乾」做法 若是平常生活忙碌，那麼就把握時間，做一次份量的葡萄乾吧！因為做好後立刻就可以吃。
材料
一大匙的葡萄乾，一大匙的醋﹝天然釀造醋﹞。
做法
１．把一大匙葡萄乾放在盤子上面撲平。
２．把一大匙的醋平均澆在葡萄乾上面，澆好醋後靜置三十分鐘，待醋浸透葡萄乾後就可以吃了。
醃一夜後才能吃的醋葡萄乾
想一次做大量醋葡萄乾的人不妨採取這種做法。這種做法必須使葡萄乾浸一夜的醋，讓醋充分地沁入葡萄乾裡面。採取這種做法可以獲得比較高的療效。
材料
葡萄乾一杯﹝十天份﹞，醋﹝天然釀造醋﹞一小瓶。一個能夠密封的容器。
做法
１．把一杯葡萄乾放入玻璃瓶之類的密封容器裡。
２．將醋倒入放置葡萄乾的容器裡面，一直到醋淹過葡萄乾為止。
３．只要醃一夜，醋就會沁入葡萄乾裡面，使葡萄乾膨脹了起來，一天吃一大匙就足夠了。
如果不喜歡強烈酸味的話，不妨在浸砲的容器裡再加入一大匙冷開水，如此就能夠沖淡酸味。

She will asked her facial consultant whether could allow her to do a facial and padicure now and she will come back to pay in the next pay day which is probably 5th of the new month.
Shopaholic made them poor in financial management. Of course, shopaholic are optimistic person, they believe money will come in next month, definitely. Shopaholic are generous with friends, they will give away some of her stuff because there are no more space to accomodate her new stuffs or toys. Shopaholic has to buy somethings to make her feel good. They enjoy the process of purchasing than any things else.
I would like to watch this show with my teethage daughter who always has a long list of wish list to fullfill. Once completed the new list will appear. There are endless of desire and wishes to be fullfilled.

把木梳賣給和尚
有一家營運相當好的大公司，為擴大經營規模，決定高薪招聘業務主管。
廣告一打出來，報名者雲集。
面對眾多應聘者，招聘主試者說：
相馬不如賽馬，為了能 選拔出高素質的人才，
我們出一道實踐性的試題：就是想辦法 。
絕大多數應聘者感到困惑不解，甚至憤怒：
出家人要木梳何用？這不明擺著拿人開玩笑嗎？
於是紛紛拂袖而去，最後只剩下三個應聘者：甲、乙和丙。
主試者交待：「以十日為限，屆時向我彙報銷售成果。」
十天一到。
主試者問甲：「賣出多少把？」
答：「１把。」
「怎麼賣的？」
甲講述了歷盡的辛苦，遊說和尚應當買把梳子，無甚效果，還慘遭和尚的責罵，
好在下山途中遇到一個小和尚一邊曬太陽，一邊使勁撓著頭皮。
甲 靈機一動，遞上木梳，小和尚用後滿心歡喜，於是買下一把。
>
主試者問乙：「賣出多少把？」
答：「10 把。」
「怎麼賣的？」
乙說他去了一座名山古寺，由於山高風大，進香者的頭髮都被吹亂了，
他找到寺院的住持說：「蓬頭垢面是對佛的不敬。應在每座廟的香案前放把木梳，供善男信女梳理鬢髮。」
住持採納了他的建議。那山有十座廟，於是買下了10 把木梳。
>
主試者問丙：「賣出多少把？」
答：「1000把。」
主試者驚問：「怎麼賣的？」
丙說他到一個頗具盛名、香火極旺的深山寶剎，朝聖者、施主絡繹不絕。
丙對住持說： 「凡來進香參觀者，多有一顆虔誠之心，寶剎應有所回贈，以紀念，
保佑其平安吉祥，鼓勵其多做善事。
我有一批木梳，您的書法超群，可刻上『積善梳』三個字，便可做贈品。」
住持大喜，立即買下 1000 把木梳。
得到「積善梳」的施主與香客也很是高興，一傳十、十傳百，朝聖者更多，香火更旺。
>
感想﹕
把木梳賣給和尚，聽起來真有些匪夷所思，但在別人認為不可能的地方開發出新的市場來，那才是真正的業務高手。不同的思維，將引領著不同的作法，導致不同的結果，時時觀察自己微細的念頭，不要被自己蒙蔽！

Canon Digital IXUS 95IS
After browsing Canon website and youtube for the review, I finally made up my mind to purchase Canon Digital IXUS 80IS. I went to Challenger in Funan Centre. I want the pink colour camera, they don't have stocks and left only the blue colour. I told them I only want pink colour, because my daughter want only pink colour. They quickly introduced me the lastest arrival IXUS95IS. 85IS is selling at S$349/- and giving a 4GB SG card, while this 95IS is selling at S$399/- and giving a 8GB SG card. Their differences are 85 is 8 Mega Pixels, and using Digic III technology; while the 95 is 10 Mega Pixels, and using Digic 4 technology, and has new Scene Detection Technology.
Infact, this 95 model totally fix my generation because it is fully automatic, it is very easy to use and yet able to produce the professional pictures.
I actually want to choose Nikon coolpix instead of Canon, but I found there are more reveiw in the youtube for Canon over Nikon. And I love the transparency of the Canon website over Nikon website. Canon show the prices and I'm able to do the products comparation. And I am able to register for a free 2 hours training class after I have purchase the products impress me a lot. In order to really master the feature of this new camera, I really appeciate the "lesson" offer to me professionally.
The price is consider reasonable. I remember many of my friends used to buy other brand 8Mega Pixel of almost S$700/-over dollars.
I love this camera, because it is an intelligent camera. Next time you will be able to see better pictures taken by me...................

A Cock's Story
Yesterday nite, I went dinner with Donny at Madam Wong's place. This is an organic vegetalian's restaurant at Smith Street. Since last Chinese New Year, I have noticed 3 beautiful Cock's picture was hanging near the entrance area. I wonder will it be for geomacy, I was curious to confirm with Mdm Wong, eventually an interesting cock's storey was reavealed.
When Madm Wong took over this restaurant in 2002, her favourite spot in this shop was the small court yard behind the shop. She was thinking of rear some kind of pets there, probably build a false mountain and put a swing chair there so that she can rest and have a cup of tea there watching her pets. Of course, later, her friends from the temple adviced her not to rest there because the aircon's exhaust pipe is all blowing towards this court yard, the air circularation will be bad there. So, she took their advice and did not put any chair there, but she still go ahead to have some pets there.
Her friends brought her to Chua Chu Kang Farm to look at the pet chicken. Frankly, this is the first time I come to know there is such thing as pet chicken. She saw two very beautiful pet chickens, the farm quoted her at S$350/- each, two for S$700/-. (wow a kampong chicken in the wet market only selling for S$8/-!) She thought it is too expensive, so she went on to look at another farm. She show the small chicks which was just 2 to 3 days old. The farm asked for S$35/- each. After some negotiation, she managed to close the deal at S$25/- each and she bought 4 little chicks - 3 white and 1 black without knowing the sex of the chick. The seller told her it will be all your luck, because they are too small to distingush the sexual identity.
She kept the chicks inside the court yard during the day, and brought them to the toilet during the nite. After a few weeks, the chicks grow gradually, and it was obviously one is the cock, and the other three are the hens. The three hens eventually are the wife and concubine to the cock. Madam Wong said you will know which hen is the wife and which are the concubine. The wife is fat, elegant, fierce and highly jealous, while the concubine is skinnier and more tame than the wife. When the wife lay eggs, it will force the concubine to hack the eggs for her. If they don't agree, the wife will pull their feather from their skin.
Once, Madam Wong heard the chicken are qualleling in the back yard, she went in to check what happened. She saw the cock standing at the high place, it caught an worm in its mouth, the three hens was at the lower floor qualleling, the cock was wondering up there and undecisive who to give. Madam Wong shouted at her cock, " Stupid husband, eat for yourself la, what for you want to give it to your wivies..........wait later, your wife will fight with you........."
Suddenly, the cock drop the worm on the floor and none has chance to eat it, True enough the wife chased after the cock, flight and pull its tails.
Madam Wong has a lot of fun with its pets. Whenever there is storm coming, the chicken will be excitedly jumping, and make a lot of noise to inform Madm Wong that the storm is coming. And every time was true - more accurate than the whether forecast!\
Once Madam Wong's daughter saw the wife so fieceful, she scolded her something like, "You so fiece, that's why this life you are here to be chicken!............" You think what? The chicken understand every single words she said, and she did not like it, hence, every time it saw her, she will quietly stand behind her, and pock her leg from behind.
The type of pet chicken is very clever, they understannd and remember their enemy, whenever they met their enemy, it will attack them again and again.

Richman's House
If I tell you I have a friend living in a Bungalow, what do you think of the people who live inside there? We imagine they are educated, successful, generous, sociable, communication effectively especially in their business circle, ego very high and very proud ..........right?
Today is Sunday, two maids who are neighbour stop by our shop for foot and back massage. We have a little chat while they are resting in our shop.
Their employers are all stay in the Bungalow in Thomas area. One employer is an lawyer, their parents, the old pa pa and old ma ma are very difficult person. They have 3 maids, our friend here is working as chief cook in the house, and she also take care of the two old folk, the other 2 maids suppose to be her assistants. She has to prepare difference disces for the two old person. If the food is not up to their expectation, they will threw temper and threw the food into the dust bin. The old man love to say, "Fuck you", "stupid" "Go to die la..." "I will slap you and send you back to your country...", "bloody Mary..." This two old couple are "very cute", whenever the wife threw tantrums, the husband will become nice person; and vice-versa. They scold very loud until their neighbour also can hear them.
They don't give any privacy to the maids. They install camera every where in their house, even the toilet if I did not hear wrongly. They have four refrigerators in the house, they always invite friends for majong session. The chief cook has to prepare a lot of dessert, fresh bread for the guest. The oldman some times has friends come over, in font of the friends, they always praise the maids, say their maids are very good, and good cook etc. Once the guest went back, he will start all the nonsense again. But, they have few good things, they pay the maid S$800/month, and the majong kaki will give tips to the chief cook. So, she can earn quite a bit from this house. And they are very generous with their food, the maid won't get hungry.
The other maid is not so lucky then, she always left hungry after the hard work. Their neighbour's mum is a calculating lady, they are very rich, they have 3 other houses beside this bungalow. She is so stingy with the maid that she don't give her enough food to eat. Imagine she is the only maid in this bungalow. She has to do every things in the house, some times she has to operate a heavy police machine to police the marble for the house. After hard work, she just don't give food to the maid. Some times the chief cook will pass some food to her through the fence to her to eat. The old couples are generous with it although they have bad temper and bad mouse. Once, the madam brough the maid to clear up her 3 other houses, after that, again, she did't give her any food.
Their children of aged 27, 28 years old know their mother pattern. The children some times will threw a package or two of instand noodle to the maid's room without letting their mum know. This mum some months hold the wages from the maid, eventually, she has to borrow money from the friends. This maid can't stand her mum's greediness that she decided to go back next week without waiting till the contract end eventhough her contract is going to end in March. She just cannot take it any more. She said the sir and the children are nice people, the sir asked her to stay and promise to give her a raise in salary also can not change her mind.
The chief cook has been in Singapore for 15 years, she contributed all her hard work money to her family, she said in Iloilo, her home town, she is a queen, people respect her, she has a bungalow in her home town, a farm rare the chicken to lay eggs and sell to others, she also own a maid agency in her home town.
She is an entrepreneur and a kind hearted thirty somethings lady. She has help to finance her boy friends for his study for 10 years, that jerk ditched her for other girl after graduation. Her heart was broken and its shut off after that.
Her neighbour from the otherside also not an easy person, they ever lock the Indonesian maid outside of the house and don't let her sleep in her bed. This chief cook saw what happen, pass a chair to the maid, and let the maid climb over to her house and stay there overnight. The next day, the maid went to report police, that employer got warning from the police. It seems that if they got 3 warning letters, they will not able to apply for any new maids to work for them. Eventully that house owner qualleled with her owner over the matter. She said, she dare not too busy body since then.
Three bungalows, all got evil people staying inside. They are rich in money, but they are poor in morale and heart. Frankly, whenever I see the employers was punished for ill treating their maids, I thought that was just an isolated cases. But, after what I heard, I think they are many sick employers aroung even they are in the rich nighbourhood.
Even an old lady who worked as part time maid also ever encounter one situation. After her three hours hardwork in that house, she asked the employer for a cup of water. That owner simply say "No", of course our local part time maid is luckier, because the next time that owner called for help again, she just need to reject it without going back to the same house. But, what can our Indonesian and Phillipino maid suppose to do after took so much trouble to get out of their county and working in the foreign land!

Make Money in Valentine's day
On 13 Feb, I met a customer holding a box full of roses standing inside the Orchard MRT, I am very surprise to see her selling roses in Valentine's day eve. I know she has a full time job! I chated with her how she was going into this business! She said few years ago, she was helping a friend selling roses, she sold about 60 roses, and earned about S$60/- over two days. The next year, she decided to be her own boss, and make the money all by herself.
She said she ever worked in the garden. During Chinese New Year, she worked at night from Monday to Friday and full day for Saturday and Sunday. After she worked for one month, she earned about additional income of S$1000/-.
She really inspired me a lot. Every one talk about recession, a lot of us said money not enough, money hard to find. But, if we do think of ways to make money, money is always there waiting for us.

Good Father
Only lately, I found out that what is good father mean. First time, I heard from daughter's best friend. She is the oversea student from Thailand, she said after her GCE 'O' level in Singapoe, she will most likely going back to Thailand to study for 4 years in Private University and after that she will be going to the State to further her study for master degree. She said these with confidence, because her father has been discussing the path with his three children. And her older sister and brother has been following the path that the father has planned for them.
Recently, I and my girl friends have steam boat in one of my girl friend's condo. She has three boys. One boy is under pilot training in Australia, and the other two twins are under National Service. She said her husband has prepared all the finanical support for the three boys' to study in the University. Her elder son hope to get through the pilot training, so that the Government will support his University study. He wishes that he can lessen the load from his father.
I have another friend, he is 56 this year, he has been working as a chief for the pass 30 years. He told us, when his son study in Nanyang Junior college and did not do well in his chemistry. He was called by the Principal who then advice him to transfer his son out from their school. He told the Principal, to be fair, give him 6 months, if his son did not improve, he will pull out his son accordingly. Immediately, he looked out for the best professor in Chemistry to tuitor his son. When the year end result, his son passed the subject in flying color. He spent S$1000/month for the tuition. After his son passed out from the Junior college, he got into the University course which he doesn't quite interested. The son told the father he prefer the IT course, and thinking of going to Poly then go to the University later. My friend told his son do not waste time, and bring him to Melborn the next day to enrol him into the Australian University to study the course that he wanted. He spent about S$100,000/- for his son three years oversea study. Today, his son is working in the IT Banking sector, has a very bright future ahead of him. Before his son's graduation from Australia, he applied PR for his son. Hence, today, his son has found a job in Australia, and he will be flying over there to work in two months time.
All these committed father has not only care from their wife and children, they plan and fullfill all their dream. He works hard and provide all the necessary to their children.
I write down all these story, because I want to remind myself how to defind a good man and good father.

"Vote However U Like"
I have read the headline : Answer to prayer - Oprah gives school S$522K (US$365,000) with amazed. The Ron Clark Academy is founded by teacher Ron Clark. The teacher who finds private donors to pay most of the US$14,000 annual tuition for each student, teach all day and fundraise at night. The amounts of donation will pay for 26 children to attend the school for one year. The 80 student school depends almost entirely on donation to operate.
Clark and his students became overnight stars during the Presidential Election when a video of the students performing a rap they wrote grabbed the public 's attention on YouTube. The children performed the rap, called Vote however U like, on TV shows including CNN and BET. Teachers at the school often use rapping, dancing and drumming to help students learn.
Clark , who taught in one of New York City's (South Atlanta) toughest schools and wrote the best-selling teaching book The Essential 55 opened the school last year with proceeds from his book and private donation.
Frankly, I see the video with tears. I am touched and I am amazed how the students responded during the interview. I am assured that American has hope since they are able to raise such fine intelligent kids.
I recently met a grade 5 kids from our neighbouring country. He always skip school becase he said the teacher doesn't teach. His father brought him to be appendics in a car workshop. For the past one year, he goes to school in the morning and work in the workshop after school. He works almost every day and was given S$100 wages every month. I have spoken to the boy, he is an intelligent kid, but what to do if the teachers don't teach or don't know how to teach!
