TRY 100PLUS & WATER



TRY 100PLUS & WATER - NOT PANADOL!!! 

DON'T TAKE PANADOL AND PANADOL ACTI FAST AND PANADOL SOLUBLE
especially
if you have gastric problems FYI... One real story from a friend....

My husband was working in a hospital as an IT engineer, as the
hospital is planning to set up a database of its patient. And he knows
some of the doctors quite well.

The doctors used to tell him that whenever they have a headache, they
are not willing to take PANADOL (PARACETMOL) In fact,they will turn
to Chinese Herbal Medicine or find other alternatives.

This is because Panadol is toxic to the body, and it harms the liver.
According to the doctor, Panadol will reside in the body for at least
5 years. And according to the doctor, there used to be an incident
where an air stewardess consumes a lot of panadol during her menstrual
as she needs to stand all the time. She's now in her early 30's, and
she needs to wash her kidney (DIALYSIS) every month.

As said by the doctor that whenever we have a headache, that's because
it is due to the electron/Ion imbalance in the brain. As an
alternative solution to cope with this matter, they suggested that we
buy 1 or 2 cans of isotonic drink ( eg.100PLUS), and mix it with
drinking water according to a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (simply, it means
one cup 100plus, one cup water.or 2 cups water).

Me and my husband have tried this on several occasions, and it seems
to work well.

Another method will be to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water
so that it bring the blood pressure down from your throbbing head.

As Panadol is a pain killer, the more Panadol you take, the lesser
would be your threshold for pain (your endurance level for pain).

We all will fall ill as we aged, for woman, we would need to go
through childbirth. Imagine that we had spent our entire life popping
quite a substantial amount of Panadol (Pain Killer) when you need to
have a surgery or operation, you will need a much more amount of
general anesthetic to numb your surgical pain than the average person
who seldom or rarely takes Panadol .. If you have a very high intake
of Panadol throughout your life (Migraine, Menstrual cramps) it is
very likely that normal general anesthetic will have no effects on you
as your body is pumped

full with panadol and your body is so used to pain killer that you
would need a much stronger pain killer, Morphine??

Value your life, THINK b4 you easily pop that familiar pill into your
mouth again. Please send this to people you care about.

Apple iphone 5 Final LEAKED ?

LEAKED !!Apple iphone 5 photo

For at least a year, it’s been rumored that the iPhone 5 would have a near-field communications (NFC) radio chip, which could eventually be used to support electronic payments or other proximity-based services. But a new iOS 6 app — Passbook — unveiled at Apple’s recent Worldwide Developers Conference is seen by some as a precursor to a more fully developed e-payment infrastructure for the iPhone, an infrastructure that may not need a chip at all, at least at first.

                                                  Let's wait for the official launching.....

Penang Food " Passions of Karala "


Passion of Karala

Located in the center of  Gelugor (Taman Brown) lies probably one of the best banana leaf rice in Penang. One probably won't know about this restaurant unless told about it or recommended by someone they know. It seems to be the only restaurant (and probably business) that operates in this quiet neighbourhood.

















This restaurant is open from  12.00-3.30pm for lunch and 6.00-10.30pm for dinner. During weekdays, most of the customers during lunch time seem to be employees from the Bayan Lepas FIZ.
The main dish is of course banana leaf rice. The day I went, they served tomato rice, besides the usual white rice. So, I decided to give it a try. The vegetable dishes that they gave were long beans, pickled vegetables and mixed vegetables (brinjal, raddish, pumpkin and carrot in what seem to be tikka sauce) and pudina. For the curry to go with the rice, the main choices are chicken, fish and mutton curry. I prefer mine with fish curry, which was pretty good. I have tried chicken curry which is pretty good as well. 

You can request for more potatoes with the chicken curry. I like mutton mutton curry as my side dish and fried fish. The good thing about this place is that they usually fry the meat just as you order it. So, the food comes hot and crunchy. They might have special dishes on certain days, so check out the menu in front of the shop.

The mango lassi drink is very popular here. I have to say, it is nice but a tad to sweet. You might want to ask them to put less sugar.

Menu of Passion Karala
























Overall, the food here is very good. The price is reasonable too. The shop is not very big (I counted about 12 tables on the ground floor). I think there might be more tables upstairs, but I didn't check it out. Unless you don't have a choice, I suggest that you should avoid the lunch crowd as it can get pretty packed.
Because it is quite hard to find the place, even when you have gone there before, I have drawn out the directions to the place.
