Plastic, Very Crunchy ("waiter,could i have some PVC in my deep fried chicken please?")

i got this via email from Pott. interestingly, i actually took time to read this particular email. usually, anything from him will make me sleep halfway thru the subject of the email. but somehow, this particular one caught my attention. this is a cut-out-and-scan piece from NST, dated 29/2/08 (see, means this is something new, or is it?)


so, the news goes that the latest trend in making the ever loved and craved for malaysian snack (i.e: anything deep fried and sold by the roadside. read: artery clogging food) more crunchier and last that way longer, is to fry 'em up with oil that has been infused with PLASTIC aka PVC (polyvinyl carbon). gawwwsshhh!!! i wonder where did they get this "brialliant" idea from. i mean, even as a scientific person, i would never have thought that plastic could make food crunchier and at the same time, do not alter the taste of the food, let alone stopping the customers from coming back for more. there must be an incident somewhere or somehow that these vendors accidentally dropped a piece of plastic in the hot oil and when he took out the food that he was frying, he attempted to taste them or check for its consistency. to his surprise, it is much much more crunchier! voila! the new SECRET RECIPE of goreng-goreng (fried) stuffs! just add plastic and it's artery clogging good.


so now, what you'd be paying for is (no matter how cheap it is): food that has no beneficial nutritional value that'll fill you up for literally 45 mins and get you hungry all over again, satiety that lasts for barely 2seconds (that is why you are munching on it constantly), more padding under your skin (good news for the ones who want to look young, at least you don't have wrinkles yeah), clogged arteries that'll make you gasp for air, and the surprise......poisonous PVC in your system that could harm your immune system and reproduction (hey, think of it this way, you don't have to use RUBBER or PILLS.....just plastic!!). wooooaaa!!! this is so value for money (NOT!).


therefore, please, be EXTRA careful, better yet, stop eating all these junk. they ain't doing you any good in any way at all. if you ever caught these dumb asses putting plastic in their food, call the authorities immediately. if you get it on camera, that'll be even better.


do your part, save the others.


F/N:haven't this ignoramus heard of this thing called BREADCRUMBS or CORNFLAKES??? these could make 'em crunchy too you know....aiiiisssshhhhhh (-_-")

this day just got weirder

as i have mentioned in my previous post, my head's so jumbled, i can't even get some things right. i guess, i am ok now. neway, i wanted to go back today to be able to attend hospotal tomorrow. i told mama of my plan and rather quickly, pack back my belongings, got ready and rushed out. first, i went to duta to swap tkts, but to my dismay, the whole day's full and the only available ones are those that you can never rely on exactly what time do they depart and arrive at the designated destination. then, i made a bold move to get train tkts instead. went to sentral and the same goes. they are all out for today. i was really pissed with myself and i was sad to have this happen to me today. so, i stick with the original plan: i am leaving tomorrow (but i'll be back pretty soon !!! )

so, we (my fren and i) decided to hang out for abit. since we have nothing to do, i decided that i wanted to go to the comp mall in KL to look for MCF (highly addictive game!!) and antivirus program. on the way, i saw a guy lying down by the road, looking really grim and in pain. he was surrounded by stares and some ppl who were (not really) helping him. i got down and went to his aid. seems that he broke his leg (again) and he was down waiting for a blahdy ambulance for the past 10mins. i asked around if they had call any and they said that they did. ambulance are for emergency right? it took them so long to attend to this matter that i made the call myself and start screaming at the operator about this matter. she said the ambulance was on the way (yeah, right) and that they'd be there in 5mins (hours, more like). after about 10mins more, the ambulance finally came and took the man away. i offered my assistance if he needed any but he was ok since his mother was there with him. i was glad that in some way, i could lend a helping hand.

then, we finally went to the comp mall to look for my stuffs. along the way, there was a line and i was damn curious of what it was all about. so i inquired and found out that it was a lucky draw (happy! happy!). so, i got in line (knowing that i am not gonna get the GRAND prize anyway). at that hour, they were giving away shirts and mousepads as the lucky dip. i was praying hard that i won't get the mousepad. lucky, lucky me. i got the shirt instead!! it says: SHOCK YOUR TIME.


prize in hand, i walked round to get those programmes. i was so wondering which floor they were on. when asked, i was shocked to find out that they don't sell the CDs no more as they were raided about half a year back (gawsh!!! i have to go out more often!). (-_-")


am i lucky? am i not? you tell me.... weirded out!

sorry, it's a FULL brain (literally!!)

couldn't believe that it actually happened to me. i read an e-mail regarding a date that i am supposed to attend. my brain chose to register that the date was today (15th march 2008). while i was in the bus, i had the nagging feeling that something was amiss, something was wrong. the feeling was too overwhelming that i had to check the email once again as soon as i reached home. to my shock and horror (i knew something was not right!!!), i got the date all mixed up! it was supposed to be for next week, but my FULL brain has deciphered it to be for today. gawshhh!!! ma's furious at me. tell me about it.... i am furious at myself!

how can this happen to me. i can't accept this. i better start compartmenting my thoughts. what i see is what i am supposed to be repeating. but it seems that i am not repeating what i see. i merely got it all jumbled up! i am afraid.....i am very afraid.


is this what has gotten into me?

i pray and hope to GOD it's not.

my (LOVE HATE) relationships

i was in the clinic the other day, waiting to be treated by a (really dumbass) doctor (seriously, i don't think he knows what he is doing. his mind seems to be somewhere else). i came in to see him a week ago for sore throat and one episode of fever. he gave me meds for running nose (WTF??), paracetamol, lozenges, and antibiotiocs. clearly, this did not work cause after 1 week, i am back to see him with similar probs plus, i am coughing now. and he did the same blahdy thing he did the first time i saw him (being stupid, really): meds that he gave me were for running nose (again, WTF??), fever (i told him i had no fever!!), new antibiotics, vit C, cough syrup, and he has the cheeck to say: "you'll be fine" sheeeesssshhhhhh...........!


while waiting for him to run his personal errands while on clinic duty, i looked around the clinic and i had my eyes set on one item and it gave me the idea to write this blog. so here goes.....


my LOVE HATE relationships.

i LOVE sleeping. it does so much good for your body and i know that i am in dire need of a GOOD sleep.

trouble is, i HATE the fact that i am suffering from insomnia. therefore, GOOD SLEEPING is so not on my daily agenda.

i LOVE cycling and i definately love this bike that i saw in the BMW showroom the other day. it was literally love at first sight.

i HATE it that i don't actually own one. i have to loan my fren's bike......:(

i'd LOVE to have the feeling of being in a relationship again.

i HATE that i am so damn afraid to jump into any because i hate the downs that'll sure be there in any relationship. but i suppose, i can learn how to handle things with care tho......

i LOVE chocolates! i am a CHOCOHOLIC (once upon a time ago)! i couldn't live without it! and then, i got OBESE.....so, i went cold turkey. no more chocies for me.....i am currently suffering from withdrawal symptoms even after 3 years of quitting chocolate.

i HATE that chocs make you FAT!!!arrrrrggghhhhh!!!! why God??? WHY????

i LOVE to wait for the WAKEUP YOUR BRAIN jig on fly.fm . i know i have the answer.

i HATE it that they don't take my calls!!! i have been dialing since MONDAY! pick up la wei!!!

but i guess, my ultimate LOVE HATE relationship (that actually gave me the idea to write this blog) would be:

what else shall i say?

the weighing machine: can't live without it, can't stand to be on it.

we are moving nowhere but BACKWARDS

the much awaited (i didn't wait actually....i can't seem to bring myself to care at all) election day is finally OVER, or is it? well, physically it is. as in the political promises (read: lies, false statements, "omong kosong"), the rallies, the posters and flags (that no doubt has dirtied the streets, clog the drains, became major eye sores, and wasted so much money that could have been used for good), the campaigns (which are worse than children moking each other in playgrounds and picking on each other. these are ADULTS for heaven's sake!! or are they?), and all that shaite is done and over with. what is left now, is the AFTERMATH.

i know prolly you guys who are reading this are wondering: "eh, why she talking abt politics? she not into it aite?" the answer is still: yes, i am not at all into politics. i just want to write this post because i am saddened very much of one incident that ma has told me came out in the news.

it is about what is happening to the kindergartens in kedah darul aman (from now on, it shall be kedah darul porak peranda). please read this link if you are interested to know what has made me really angry and sad all at the same time: http://www.bharian.com.my/Current_News/BH/Monday/Nasional/20080310024241/Article/index_html

if you are at all in the right mind, you will not jeopardize education in anyway. it is not like these kids are learning some new cult, or taking notes on how to become a nuisance for the country, or anything BAD and UNACCEPTABLE. these kids are in kindergartens, learning how to read, write, express themselves, learn how to be disciplined,sugar, spice and everything nice. now, they are told to be closed down because of some political reasons implemented by the 'all new' reigning party of Kedah darul porak peranda. what would these kids feel when they go to their schools next week (this is school hols week) just to find out that there are NO SCHOOLS literally and physically for them to learn in. imagine the sadness and shock that they'd feel to separate from the comfort that they are learning to accept by being away from their families for a few hours and enjoying their activities in school. what did these kids do to deserve this?? you tell me.

aren't they, as MATURE ADULTS, are supposed to teach respect, good moral values, kindness, tolerance to these kids? but instead, in some ways possible, they are instilling hatred, revenge, and backstabbing, altogether to these poor children.

it really make me wonder what would become to this land we call our home, MALAYSIA, in the near future.

the voters have spoken, the idiots are in charge. go figure.

this is one of the reasons why i HATE politics: it is so DIRTY.

chicken dance

this is to make the lives of other HCP much more easier. this is the myotome and dermatome examination of the upper limb....

put on the funky music (i am trying to put this in the same tune as UMBRELLA from rihanna....), and start the dance!!

C5,C6: abduction of the upper limbs

C7,C8: adduction of the upper limbs

C5, C6: flexion of the upper limb

C7,C8: extension of the upper limb

C6,C7: flexion and extension at the wrist level

C7,C8: flapping of fingers at metacarpalphalangeal joints

C8,T1: adduction & abduction of fingers

now, after the myotomes are A-OK, lets check the dermatomes of the upper limb (this part needs no dancing. just some touchy feelies.....)

i'll be putting up the lower limb as soon as i get some pixies. i was rushing just now, so, i managed to get the upper limb done only. thanks alot to yah for helping me in this. hopefully, this'll make the HCPs' lives much easier, eh?

FLAGtus

Flatulence is the presence of a mixture of gases in the digestive tract of mammals. Such a mixture of gases is known as flatus, and is expelled from the rectum in a process colloquially known as farting.

FLAGtus, on the other hand is an environmentally offensive object that is placed all over the face of the earth in Malaysia, once every 4 years, by all the competing parties' followers (more like people who don't know what they are doing, but for the sake of not being left out, they just go with the flow). these flags are hoisted on make-shift poles (made out of bamboos. they actually spend time to look for the bamboos. the time they spent to do that could actually be used to do better things, say for example....errrr.....help clean the congested rivers?), and placed at idealistic (NOT!) spots, such as the roadside, the bridges, the traffic light, and best of all the ELECTRIC CABLES!! (how DUMB can people be??).

see, every single day (and i am so not exagerrating) as i make my way to the hospital, i see more and more and MUCH more of there flags, posters and all those shaites hanging here and there. this gives me an eyesore, worse than that, it gives me a heartache. i am so damn ANGRY to see so much money and energy that goes to waste just for the sake of making people vote. think about it, the money that is used to print, to make flags, to travel, could be used to help the ppl that are really2 in need. or if it is too much, at least, fix the roads or the broken traffic lights, or support the realization of free clinics, and many more that need IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. and what happens with all these pin-ups after the election? i can BET a gazillion bucks that it will be left there to hand, to polute the drainage systems, to clog the rivers. no one will clean it up. what about those that are hanging on the electric cables? let them get struck by lightning and cause a major FIRE? it is the raining season after all.

i really wonder what goes thru the minds of these ppl? NOTHING, would be my best bet because they have nothing in between their ears to begin with.

i hate to get involved in all these meaningless shaites. whatever that is POLITICALLY CORRECT is ALWAYS WRONG in so many other ways. trust me.

go VOTE. it just makes life much more complicated.
