hubby's away
my dear hubby is off to japan today for a 6 days business trip (again!).... each time my relatives/ friends would say how nice is it that he get to go to japan so frequently.... some of them wish that they are in my hubby's shoes.... and most of them will ask me, how come I don't follow him to his business trip?
but NO.... my dear hubby has set his rule very clearly.... I can never ever tag along with him to any of his business trip.... be it locally or overseas..... reason: BUSINESS is BUSINESS......
hmmm... i can accept that rule now after so many years(for the past 6 years, to be exact) coz i have been getting the same answer when I said I wanna tag along with him...... a big NO....
which means these days, I do not bother to repeat back the same question to my dear hubby: CAN I TAG ALONG, pleaseeeeee?
truthfully, which wife/ gf do not mind that their hubby/ bf to be frequently away for business trip? if i can tag along, "lain cerita" lor..... hehehe....
but I know that my dear hubby would prefer not to travel so frequently also if given the chance... and i know it's true.... coz he look sad each time before he travels... poor him....
miss you dear...

13. Green Tea and Liver Disease
Green tea helps prevent transplant failure in people with liver failure. Researches showed that green tea destroys harmful free radicals in fatty livers.
14. Green Tea and High Blood Pressure
Green tea helps prevent high blood pressure. Drinking green tea helps keep your blood pressure down by repressing angiotensin, which leads to high blood pressure.
15. Green Tea and Food Poisoning
Catechin found in green tea can kill bacteria which causes food poisoning and kills the toxins produced by those bacteria.
16. Green Tea and Blood Sugar
Blood sugar tends to increase with age, but polyphenols and polysaccharides in green tea help lower your blood sugar level.
17. Green Tea and Immunity
Polyphenols and flavenoids found in green tea help boost your immune system, making your health stronger in fighting against infections.
18. Green Tea and Cold and Flu
Green tea prevents you from getting a cold or flu. Vitamin C in green tea helps you treat the flu and the common cold.
19. Green Tea and Asthma
Theophylline in green tea relaxes the muscles which support the bronchial tubes, reducing the severity of asthma.
20. Green Tea and Ear Infection
Green tea helps with ear infection problem. For natural ear cleaning, soak a cutton ball in green tea and clean the infected ear.
21. Green Tea and Herpes
Green tea increases the effectiveness of topical interferon treatment of herpes. First green tea compress is applied, and then let the skin dry before the interferon treatment.
22. Green Tea and Tooth Decay
Green tea destroys bacteria and viruses that cause many dental diseases. It also slows the growth of bacteria which leads to bad breath.
23. Green Tea and Stress
L-theanine, which is a kind of amino acids in green tea, can help relieve stress and anxiety.
24. Green Tea and Allergies
EGCG found in green tea relieves allergies. So, if you have allergies, you should really consider drinking green tea.
25. Green Tea and HIV
Scientists in Japan have found that EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) in green tea can stop HIV from binding to healthy immune cells. What this means is that green tea can help stop the HIV virus from spreading.
How's that for only some of the health benefits that green tea has to offer you? Almost miraculous, I'd say. Now, your health is in your hands. You know you're smart. So, start drinking three to four cups of green tea every day for a drug-free and healthier YOU!

ETERNITY
do you believe in eternity?
i mean do you believe in lasting relationships?
be it friendship, marriage or love?
even before i got married, I alwiz believe that "EVERY BEGINNING, THERE IS AN ENDING"
and until today, I still do
how true is it? just see the number of ppl who broke up, divorce or losing a friend (for many reasons e.g. quarrels / accidents)
GOD has arranged things to happen for a reason.... i also believe that "EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON (GOOD REASON)"
treasure the one you love for as long as you can( be it friends, family, hubby/wife etc).... we would not know when it will END but at least we were happy in the BEGINNING.....

i usually conduct the first level of interview for my boss (since she is so so busy with her work). I will then shortlist those "better" candidates for her. A few main points that i look for when I conduct interview.
- dressing: semi-formal

- documents: no SPM certificate. reason given: dunno where she put it liao. no updated passpost size photo also. reason given: the shop that she goes to do not hv express photo service. hello! is that the onli photo shop around??? and i had actually informed her four days earlier to get ready for interview..... sigh....
- English: average
reason to leave current company: wanna join a bigger company like ours.... but our company not that big oso..... hehehe
Candidate B
- appearance: average
- dressing: very IN. thought she's going for modelling job
- application form: all info fill up......
- documents: all complete except of a UPDATED passport size photo (she brought one that has a young model look)

reason to leave current company: wanna learn more new things (but she onli work at her current company for about two months plus onli)
