Jane Lee: Reconcile friendship

As the days draw nearer to my retirement, so many things pass through my mind. I have still not pluck up enough courage to break the news to my wife. I keep telling myself at the right time . wonder when will that be. Anyway while waiting for that day to come which is in october. The thoughts of me finally retiring is quite frightening and I am not sure how I will cope with it. The song below is a reminder that only christ alone matters. I can't do much on my own. Situation might changed but my God changes not.




I only hope I will continue to draw closer to him, because I need his strength.

LUNCH AT INDIAN RESTAURANT

Just had a wonderful indian rice at a restaurant in west port. A meal is not complete without the
rasam I understand there are a variety of rasam, but the restaurant only serve one type.(what do you expect it's on the house) you can get the receipe here.
Today being a Friday they serve
free payasam which is vermicelli boiled with milk and sweetened with sugar. It goes by the name of 'pal payasam', just delicious. would you believe it? I once got a receipt from the daughter of an ex colleague and even tried making it myself. unfortunately none of my family members shared my love for this wonderful desert.
If you have not try this desert before try it, you will loved it.

FOOD FOR THOUGHTS

A friend of mine email me this article which makes interesting reading.thanks jennifer.The 12 Most Powerful Super FoodsBy Amy Paturel, M.S., M.P.H.Why Are They So Super?Ask five nutritionists to rate the 12 most powerful foods and you'll get five different lists, but many of the selections will overlap. Why? Because every food provides something different: Some are a rich source of protein or fiber but void of many vitamins and minerals, while others contain disease-fighting phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, but no protein. The trick, claim experts, is to get a variety of the best foods. The following 12 power foods are a good place to start.AvocadosSure they're high in fat, but avocados contain healthful monounsaturated fat, which has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. 'Avocados aid in blood and tissue regeneration, stabilize blood sugar, and are excellent for heart disorders,' says Ed Bauman, Ph.D., director of Bauman College . They're loaded with fiber (11 to 17 grams per fruit) and are a good source of lutein, an antioxidant linked to eye and skin health.Apples'An apple a day really does keep the doctor away,' says Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., author of The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth. Apples are loaded with the powerful antioxidants quercetin and catechin, which protect cells from damage - that means a reduced risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, especially if you eat the skin. Research shows that the apple peel contains five times more polyphenols than the flesh. Apples and their skins pack a lot of fiber too (about twice that of other common fruits, including peaches, grapes, and grapefruit), which may help fight the battle of the bulge.BlueberriesAntiaging superstars, blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which have been shown to improve vision and brain function. Studies show that eating blueberries slows impairments in motor coordination and memory that accompany aging. These little berries also reduce inflammation, which is inextricably linked with virtually every chronic disease from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, to diabetes and heart disease. Other studies show that blueberries have much greater anticancer activity than other fruitsCabbageIn the vegetable world, the Brassica genus reigns supreme, and the cabbage is the most impressive of the lot. Brassica vegetables (including broccoli, bok choy) contain compounds called indoles, which have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer dramatically. 'Eating cabbage more than once a week cut men's colon cancer odds by 66 percent,' says Bauman. 'Cabbage also stimulates the immune system, kills bacteria and viruses, and is a good blood purifier.' If you go for the red variety, you'll also get a healthy dose of anthocyanins (the same pigment molecules that make blueberries blue), another powerful antioxidant with an anticancer punch.Fish and Fish OilEating fish helps cut the risk of heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, stroke, diabetes, and arthritis. The fatty varieties may also help alleviate depression. The American Heart Association recommends that adults eat at least two fish meals per week, especially wild salmon, herring, and sardines, because those varieties provide the most heart-healthy omega 3s. Avoid mercury-containing varieties like shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish, and albacore tuna, says Roberta Anding, M.S., R.D., national spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. (Chunk light tuna is okay.)GarlicResearch shows that garlic lowers total cholesterol and triglyceride (blood fat) levels, helping prevent clogged arteries. 'Two to three cloves a day cut the odds of subsequent heart attacks in half for heart disease patients,' says Bauman. 'Garlic also tops the National Cancer Institute's list of potential cancer-preventive foods.' Whole baked garlic helps detoxify the body of heavy metals like mercury (from fish) and cadmium. Garlic also acts as an antibacterial and antiviral, boosting resistance to stress-induced colds and infections. Can't stand garlic breath? Chew on a sprig of parsley.MushroomsUsed for centuries in Eastern medicine, mushrooms have powerful effects on the immune system – especially the maitake, shiitake, and reishi varieties. 'Mushrooms such as maitake help prevent and treat cancer, viral diseases, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure,' says Bauman. In fact, mushrooms are used as an adjunctive cancer treatment throughout Asia because of their ability to counteract the toxic effects of chemotherapy and radiation while simultaneously shrinking tumors. What's more, Japanese researchers have found that regularly eating shiitake mushrooms lowers blood cholesterol levels up to 45 percent.AlmondsAlmonds are loaded with fiber and monounsaturated fat, both of which have been shown to lower cholesterol. According to the Food and Drug Administration, eating 1.5 ounces of most nuts, including almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. And even though almonds are relatively high in fat and calories, studies show that eating almonds can actually help with weight loss (their protein, fiber, and monounsaturated fats provide the feeling of fullness, preventing overeating).EggsThe best protein source on the planet, eggs consistently outrank milk, beef, whey, and soy in the quality of protein they provide. In addition to containing all nine essential amino acids, eggs are loaded with nutrients. 'And for God's sake, eat the yolks,' says Bowden. People avoid the yolks because they fear cholesterol, but egg yolks contain choline, which helps protect heart and brain function and prevents cholesterol and fat from accumulating in the liver.FlaxseedsLoaded with alpha-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid that helps reduce inflammation, flaxseed has been used for centuries for medicinal and health reasons. Gandhi himself proclaimed, 'Wherever flaxseed becomes a regular food item among the people, there will be better health.' Bauman adds, 'The seed itself has terrific nutritional value, very usable protein, tremendous fatty acids, and minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc.' Additionally, they're a great source of fiber.PomegranatesPomegranates have up to three times the antioxidants of red wine and green tea – and the juice has been shown to reduce artery-clogging plaque, which in turn prevents heart disease and stroke. Research shows that long-term consumption of pomegranate juice may also help slow aging and protect against cancer.Dark ChocolateWhen it comes to chocolate, bitter is better – at least in terms of health. The benefits of chocolate come from flavonols and antioxidants (the same disease-fighting chemicals found in cranberries, apples, strawberries, and red wine). The caveat: Only real cacao contains flavonols, so look for chocolate that boasts a high percentage of cacao (60 percent or more). Dark chocolate also has fewer calories than other varieties, and when eaten in moderation, it lowers unhealthy LDL cholesterol and prevents plaque from building up in your arteries.

FATHER'S DAY.JUNE 21ST 2009

What did I do this father's day. ? Well my wife and I was invited by Pastor Albert ong who runs the good samaritian home in klang to the church that he is attending. Peace City Tabernacle or PCt in short is at Sunway just opposite the sunway pyramic mall. It was a combined mother and father's day celebration.
There was some skit and some songs from the 60s and 70s follwed by some games.
Oh yes there was also an Elvis song done by Mr wong, who used to work for the welfare department in klang. Quite a memorable event. After a quick lunch, we rushed back to port klang to fetch my mum in law and would you believe it? headed back to Sunway again to the sunway mall.This is the first time I had ever travelled to the same destination twice in the same day and within a gap of a few hours. After more than 3 hours in the mall it was time to leave for home.
Had a quick dinner in Klang before calling it a day. so some Father day's celebration huh?
My two sons who sent me text greetings, but I was hoping my two god daughters. would too. (sigh.)
Anyway Happy Father's Day to all.

Here is further reading on history of father's day and some good write up on father.

MIRACLE 09 -FITNESS FIRST'S YEARLY EVENT

This is my first time I attended such an event. I was looking forward to it. Manage to get my Body combat friend Nixon to join me. we headed for the venue in Damansara after Rendezvoused at the Klang executive club. We reached there within half and hour but finding a parking space in the car park was quite a challenge. After going in circles, finaly decided to park at any space I could find. We make our way to the open space in front of fitness first's club where the event was held. Quickly registered for the body combat class. Attendance fees was RM20.00 as this was a charity event. Paid with the coupons which I had purchased earlier from the Klang club. The remaining of the coupons were used to vote for the tribe challenge events. Since I was from the Klang club and my god daughter,snow was also part of the team I casted all the votes to the Klang tribe.
The place where the class was held was a bit too small where about 100 or so people jamed packed the place. There was hardly any space to move let alone kicked. Since I could not joined in the exercise comfortably, I have to turned photographer and snaped away.
It was quite and memorable experience. Unfortunately I could not stay till the end as I had to rushed back to attend a meeting in Kota Kemuning.
I found out later the Klang team came up second. well done KBT team. you does us proud.
