不知不觉的, 2012年已过了半年. 时光过得虽然不算佷忙碌但是也无行中从身边溜过.
下个星期又到了Staff Solutions 的anniversary. 老板说今年sponsor 我们去Bangkok玩. Yippee ! This is my first trip to Bangkok.

真不敢相信这是我在 2012 年第一 次在blog 动 笔. 是因为太忙碌吗还是因为懒惰了? 不过, 今年龙年真的来得很匆忙. 不知不觉已经过了三个月...
妈妈和我今年一 开始就到海南岛tour (1 - 5 Jan 2012). Oh yeah, the 海南岛 tour is really quite worth it, bought from Deals.com at $59 and come with free Macau/Zhuhai tour (looking forward to the trip in April). The hotels provided are 4 star and food not bad, except that we must pay for some additional tours.从海南岛回来就忙着准备过年. 除夕, 初一, 初二 过了, 还要忙着帮忙母亲准备初九拜天宫 (对福建人来说初九天宫旦是一件非常盛大的事). Finally, 15 days of new year celebration is over. Mother's birthday come next - I brought her to Feast@East Ocean at Roxy Mecure Hotel, Parkway Parade for the lunch buffet. The food is average but most important have her favorite durian cake & puree (i must say it is marvellous & just going for the durian cake is worth enough), mee swa (for her birthday), laksa for me (Haha...) & other varieties. We were so full when we come out. Oh no, again caught in the buffet trap.
2012年龙年到底是好还是不好的年呢? 很多人都要在龙年生龙宝宝, 因为华人而言"龙"就代表"吉祥" 和 "雄伟". 可是对一些人来说似呼不是很好. 风飞飞 (著名的"帽子歌后", 著唱比如"掌声响起来", "敲敲门你在不在" etc) 在今年头过世了. 我的亲人也难逃一劫, 三姨丈和大嫂的婆婆也相继过世了(两人只相隔一个星期). 这一切让我体会到生命的脆弱而且应该更真珍惜身边的人.

2011 coming to an end
Tomorrow will be Christmas, one more week later and we will be stepping into a brand new 2012 year.
Time flies and passes us in the brink of an eye. I find that as I get older, time goes by faster for me. Or is it my job? I will start the week with Monday and thinking how to close order, follow by Tuesday and Wednesday, then boss will pop the sentence "Business very bad, no order close at all." Well, she didn't really stress us, but the stress is from oneself. Thursday, Friday and one week is gone. Always looking forward to a better next week and the date my candidate start work. OMG, no wonder time passes so quickly. Was exchanging presents with Staff Solutions colleagues yesterday and it was just like yesterday that we were celebrating christmas at Melting Pot last year. This is already my 4th christmas with Staff Solutions.
New Year, New Hope, New Resolutions! Hmm... must start thinking of my new resolutions and looking back at the achievements of the current drawn. Hopefully 2012, year of the Dragon, is a better year for all of us. I wish for good health, peace, luck and happiness.

Hongkong, 23 - 26 Nov
We (me & mum) went to hongkong 2 weeks ago to visit and see how brother and Wee Swan are coping over there. Well they are doing quite alright, just shifted into new house and brother say that working in Hongkong is not much different than in Singapore, in fact less stressful compared to Singapore, can always go back on time and reach home at about 7.30pm.
Hongkong has changed much since the last time i went 10 years ago. The pace is not as quick or crowded as before and the MTR compared to Singapore is less packed. The food in eateries and restaurants seems less salty and more healthy compared to before. I was only there for 3 days and Wee Swan brought me to the Ladies market, Wan Chai and the market place near their house. Wow shopping and shopping most of the time. Time is too short for me. Haha...
Mum should rest assured now that she went over and sees that they are doing well. Looking forward to next year, maybe i'll go during the summer sale :)

National Day
Today is National Day and finally have some time to sit down and update my blog again. It has been a month since i last write something. After i came back from Guilin, i went to Malacca for 2 days with Staff Solutions to celebrate our company anniversary. The trip was quite a rush because we were stuck in the jam when going there and arrive only at 3pm even though we took the 8.30am bus. But it was enjoyable though short. Managed to buy clothes and stuff. Hee Hee :) Well, life remain the same for other things except that there may be some changes in the family soon. Brother will be going over to Honkong to work and Wee Swan will be going with him. Not sure when he will be back because according to him, it will be a pemanent relocation. Feel quite sad as next time it will be left with mother and me in the house...

Guilin
Finally, my first long trip overseas since my kidney failure and after my transplant. Me and mum went to Guilin from 22 - 29 June (although a total of 8 days but in actual was 6 days becos 2 days was spent on travelling).
We spent 2 days in Nanning, 3 days in Guilin and 1 day in Yangshuo. From this trip, I know a lot about the famous Liu San Jie & her folk songs. Also never know that mum like so much about Liu San Jie when she was young.Overall, the trip was very enjoyable and relaxing. Oh forget to mention that we had interesting and funny tour mates that made the trip er how i say "搞笑" 吧.

Apple Cider Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is an effective natural bacteria-fighting agent that contains many vital minerals and trace elements such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, chlorine, sodium, sulfur, copper, iron, silicon and fluorine that are vital for a healthy body.
Natural Apple Cider Vinegar is made by crushing fresh, organically grown apples and allowing them to mature in wooden barrels. When the vinegar is mature, it contains a dark, cloudy, web-like bacterial foam called mother, which becomes visible when the rich brownish liquid is held to the light. Natural vinegars that contain the mother have enzymes and minerals with benefits; the sparkling clear variety will have practically no health benefits due to over-processing, over-heating, and filtration.
Propagators of this wonder drug claim that the best way to have the vinegar is first thing in the morning. Mix two tablespoons each of apple cider vinegar and honey in a glass of water and drink it.
Apple cider vinegar is helpful in ailments such as constipation, headaches, arthritis, weak bones, indigestion, high cholesterol, diarrhea, eczema, sore eyes, chronic fatigue, mild food poisoning, hair loss, high blood pressure, obesity, along with a host of many other ailments.
Cholesterol
Pectin in the vinegar is a fiber which helps reduce bad cholesterol by soaking up fats and LDL cholesterol and eliminate them, preventing them from being absorbed into the body.
Diabetes
Insulin
Insulin is secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas in response to high blood sugar, although a low level of insulin is always secreted by the pancreas. After a meal, the amount of insulin secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises. In response to insulin, cells (muscle, red blood cells, and fat cells) take glucose in from the blood, which ultimately lowers the high blood glucose levels back to the normal range.
Type II diabetes is either due to insulin resistance or insulin deficiency. Fiber in apple cider vinegar functions to help in the absorption of excess glucose in your bloodstream and help avoid sugar spikes that lead to problems with diabetes and also food cravings that lead to weight gain.
