Visit abah, 28-29 Jun 2008

Last week end, sat & sun, I went back to Melaka with my children to visit my father who was ill. He suffered from Cancer Prostat and at the same time there was a stone in the bladder.
I addressed my father as "Abah". Same address to my hubby.
Abah wasn't as cheerful as before. He was quiet.
Today, my sister Lin, has to re admit him to Melaka Hospital to diagnosed his sickness further.
The doctor will confirm what to be done.
May Allah bless him and may he recover as soon as possible.
I pray to Allah for my mum. May she be strong and patience to take care of Abah.
Amin!!!

BANANAS

Just wanna share with you readers! (The picture shown has got nothing to do with the story- it's Tom Kat's daughter. Beautiful isn't she?)

"Kaum wanita DINASIHATI memakan sebiji pisang sehari di awal pagi untuk mencegah kanser, Dan ubat yang paling mujarab ialah meminum air masak sebaik sahaja bangun dari tidur. Kos perubatan yang dapat dijimatkan Sebiji pisang (20sen) x 30hari = RM6.00 sebulan. Kos makan pisang setahun RM6.00 x 12 bulan= RM 72.00 Kos makan pisang sepanjang hayat umur 60 tahun = RM 72.00 x 60 tahun = RM 4320.00 saja Kos perubatan Kimoterapi yang dapat dijimatkan sekali rawatan x 8 Cycle =RM 40,000. 00 kos paling murah. Satu cycle je RM 5000.00 . cancer menyerang semula jika kita tidak menjaga pemakanan dan kesihatan kita. " _____________________________________________

Going Bananas Bananas... This is very interesting. After Reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again -

Bananas. Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.

No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at aTwickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in 'The New England Journal of Medicine 'eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!'

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape! So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.

So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!' PASS THIS ON TO ALL OF YOUR ON-LINE FRIENDS and FAMILY PS : Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!

Oiyyo! Banyak senang itu kerja tapi tak boleh bikin.

Well........

Eh!!!!

Well, it's been 2 days I didn't update my blog.
A diary should be written on daily basis, right?

Those days, during my younger days (now that I'm not that too old yet, ok!) I used to write in a diary 'bout my daily activities. I stopped after so busy bringing up my kids. Not much time for myself. But, now the three of them has grown up, except the last one whom is 11 yrs old. Hah!

Sometimes, I wish I could unwind the clock and re-do what was unpleasant happened in my life with them. Nevertheless, the happiness still there which we will gather and remember till the end of our life. The beautiful part still there despite of all the sour memories.

Eh! What kind of morning writings!!!! Heh!Heh!Heh! Saja aje....

Luv ya! Dear readers......hem siapa tu?
