Calcium pill & The Garden of Eden

Something i came across at 2 health talks :

On osteoporosis..
"You can't just pop a calcium pill or drink tons of milk and expect strong bones. Its like popping a protein pill & expecting big biceps! You've got to work those muscles. Even more so for Bones! ", Patrick H.

On our high meat diet..
"We live in e garden of Eden, yet eat as if we are mongolians!", Ray Kent

It just blew my mind away, such simple common sense that many of us are blind to. And what a refreshing way of putting the message across. Actually, you've got to hear it from the horse's mouth to really feel the impact & humour of those words !

"An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore


A movie by Al Gore, on the urgency of global warming.

A.G walks the everyday person through the facts and in-escapable truths of what is happening to planet earth.

The glaciers are melting, earth is hurting. And most of mankind is not aware of the magnitude of assault on mother earth nor the very plausible threat to their survival on earth.

PS- i watched the movie 2 weeks ago, it's worth every bit of e 97min.

e motorbike^^ at e post office incident

Today there just seems to be an unusually big dose of attention on my motorbike.. only in e morning!
i suppose it must have been raining a lot, so when it is sunny ppl get a chance to googah ! ;)

Or perhaps it was e work clothes, a contrast to e biker image.

Within 15min into e trip, by parking lot, at petrol kiosk, at atm - 3ppl making conversations!
And then about 3-4 separate incidents of raising eyebrows, turning head and waving! Oh thats almost e same count of intensity as someone bringing a golden retriever for a walk!

At the postoffice, it was really quite funny. After some transactions, i came out and e bike was lying on its side! I went to inspect and an elderly lady immediately said it was e 'old ah pek' in e red car that backed into my bike. The old man hesitated in his car and then came out, but a younger dude beat him to help me lift e bike up. Hehe.. and this old man(e ah pek), insisted quite loudly that it was not him who caused e bike to fall. He sounded so sincerely true, i believed. "Its fine, ok ok, no problem at all". And when just as he turned to get back to his red car, e other dude gestured,.. like ... its Him! i just nodded. And i knew!
It was just funny, cos i really didnt mind much about the incident. He really didnt have to lie, in fact, i was a little sheepish about not parking the bike in a more untouchable corner! Plus the tip over caused a patch of oil spill. And e most hilarious of all, i got to see e perfect denial, and would almost believe it all over again.. interesting! The skies were blue and e world was funny.

Only hassle was having to adjust the wing mirrors and make a detour home to top up the engine oil.

Hmm... now, if this had been a brand new harley, would it have been so funny..? ;) what's e difference.. if something happens to my future brand new harley, i'll just have to replay this memory to get a good laugh. It doesnt matter so much, whether a posh sleek thing or e oldest honda kap!

Joke : Keep it simple

A vivid & funny joke from a friend :) El Vaquero (The Mexican Cowboy) and his Chihuahua, Chilito, are camping in the desert. He sets up their tent and both are soon asleep.
Some hours later, El Vaquero wakes his faithful friend. "Chilito, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Chilito replies, "I see millions of stars, senor." "What does that tell you?" asks El Vaquero. Chilito ponders for a minute...... "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Chronologically, it appears to be approximately quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful, and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, senor?"
El Vaquero is silent for a moment, and then says, "Chilito, you pendejo, someone stole our tent!"

Enjoy your day
