Why banana leaves give aroma?

2011-09-10T15:27:00.001+08:00

I didn't grow up in rural (Kampong) area but I have seen banana trees. Banana leaves look soft but I just learnt that they need to be barbecued before we can use them to wrap Nasi lemak. Hence, Nasi lemak wrap with banana leaves always give additional aroma.

Suria KLCC has a RM2 per entry toilet?

2008-01-23T13:24:00.001+08:00

It's called the Premier Paid Toilet, located on the ground floor, where all the designers' brands are.

I paid RM2 for the experience and to tour you around....First, you pay at the enterance, and these are what you get.

A sanitizer moist towel & a receipt

The inside...at a glance, I can only see the only different with free toilets at other floors is the toiletries at the hand wash area, and some Johnson's products (baby powder & lotion) at the baby napkin changing area (next to the long mirror).

Body lotion, body mist, face mist spray, and hair conditioner. They're all from Body Shop. Tried the face mist & body lotion. Nice :-)

Other than that, the toilet cubicles are of ordinary.

My conclusion: No need to waste your money to try...haha.

Where Blogger stores your photos?

2007-12-27T19:48:00.001+08:00

Ever wonder where Google stores all photos in your posting?

A snapshot of my blogs photos in Picasa Web Albums

Go to http://picasaweb.google.com/home & login like how you login in Blogger, you'll see photos you uploaded to your postings.

Blog postings can be created offline?

2007-12-22T18:52:00.001+08:00

This is a MUST-KNOW for bloggers!

Windows Live Writer lets you create, edit & publish to blogs! I've been happily using it for 2 weeks & would like to recommend to all of you! :-D

This is the screen capture of me creating this posting in Windows Live Writer!

Why use Windows Live Writer?

Save as drafts (Save your postings as draft & post them as and when you wish at any sequence. In blogger, once you save as draft, the sequence of posting is fixed. You can't have the draft posting to appear after the next posting you just created.)
Blogging Offline! (This is the best of all! With the software you can create blog even though you're not connected to the Internet! If you have limited web access, this will definitely save you some money. You connect only when you want to publish.)
More flexibility (e.g. Insert function lets you can create table here as if you're in MS Frontpage! Adding photos is also much faster. You don't have to wait for the 1 by 1 photo uploading.)
Picture Effect (e.g. Drop Shadow, watermark! It's something I always wanted to do on all images posted. See screen shot above!)
WYSIWYG Interface (It provides you an option to download the design of your blog & let you blog in a familiar interface!)
Save Time (With all the above advantages, you get to cut down at least 50% of your blogging time!)
Blogging for >1 Blog! (You can Add all of your Weblog Accounts & switch among them to create postings!)
It's FREE! (Just download it from Microsoft website today & make your life easier! http://www.windowslive.com/overview.html )

I update >3 blogs regularly & this is like a savior to me.

You will thank me when you get one :-)

Electric Power around the World?

2007-12-12T00:44:00.001+08:00

Before travelling to other countries, you would want to know what is the electric voltage there, and if you need a converter. What most people do usually are, get answer from those who have been to that country (*you're lucky if they still remember correctly*), or pay twice or more to buy an all-in-one international charger which will work for sure!

If you are neither of the above, check out the electric power around the world at "Voltage Converter Transformers" http://www.voltage-converter-transformers.com/world-electricity-conversion.html

Why do we have to type text in box?

2007-12-06T20:23:00.000+08:00

We often asked to enter some characters from a box. Follow the text, we just have to key-in exactly the same text. Ever wonder why?

This is taken from Google's page to add URL to their search index. The text we entered are used to differenciate a genuine registration from a human than a computer/machine generated code.

What time should you sleep?

2007-12-03T20:33:00.000+08:00

Good rest and sound sleep is very Important... if u don't sleep well, the toxic in your body will accumulate...Affecting your health and your mood...

Because....

9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (de-toxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music.

11pm - 1am : The de-toxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

1 - 3am : de-toxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

3 - 5am : de-toxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the de-toxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

5 - 7am : de-toxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

7 - 9am : Absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time.

Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.
