Dreamt so often of...

Have you ever dreamt of sumthin so often that u fear it?I have dreamt like about 1000 times that all my teeth falls off.Ive had tis dream for years,ever since i was a young girl til now.

In my dream, at times my teeth is overcrowding my mouth til i cant even speak properly or my gums are swollen and in the end all my teeth drops.The end of the dreams are alwiz the same-i end up havin no teeth.

Once wen i was schooling,i told the dentist and the nurse about my dream and they laughed.The nurse told me that The Malay customs believes if u dream that all your teeth drop off,its sumthin good.Well,i dun think its good anyways!Scary man!

I brush my teeth every nite before i sleep.And if i am too lazy to brush my teeth,I wil go to sleep fearing that my teeth wil drop off jes like in my dream.Lazy or forgot,i end up dreaming tat dream.But the weird thing is even if i do brush my teeth n go to sleep,i do dream of it once in a while.

The dreams are SO REAL tat i can feel them!My swollen gums or etc.I often wake up fearin to find it was true.

I have no idea on why am i having tis dream.Does any of u folks out ther have an interpretetion of my dream or sum sorts?

Do u have a dream that occurs so often?

Tis is basically my nitemare!I do hope my dreams come true.Sweet ones but definetely not tis kinda dream!

10 Biggest Brain Damaging Habits

I got this in my email jes a few sec ago.Found it very NICE...:P

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumptionToo much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7.Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effect.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

Summarizing and article

I volunteered to be in charge of the Knowledge Centre in this campus.Oh,and we are no longer to be known as Mayang campus or Felda staff but DIH staff.DIH stand for Digital Innovation Hub.Sounds more professional and nicer...:P
Well,wondering whats tis Knowledge Centre thingy?
Cyberjaya campus has this system where all academic staff have to read an article from the net/magazine/newspaper or books and write a summary of synopsis of it.This is to encourage the staff to read and widen their knowledge.Its done is a weekely basis.
And months about 10 submitted articles will be choosen and the choosen one has to prepare a presentation to be presented in front of all staff.
A powerpoint presentation has to be prepared and they wil have to present for about 8-10 min.But it seems you can go on n on for bout 45min or more as you find alot of things to say.
Neways,its my duty to collect the articles by thurs.I am not sure hws da format and how it goes so ive called the person in charge in cyberjaya n he told me he wil email me soon.And im stil waiting fer his email.Gotta paste it on the board for everyone.
I am still looking for an article on the net.Perhaps i shall jes look into the many mag which i have at home.
I havent done any artuicle summarization like for ages!Gosh!The last time was wen i was in uni.Or mayb wen i was schooling?.....I gotta look up on how to do a summary...:(

Shall update the process soon....

Strategies for Reducing Workaholism

Many of us are workaholics,whether we admit or not.If work is all that you think of, you bring back your work and do it at home instead of watching tv or spending tiem with your family,then you are a confirmed workaholic.U sleep work,You eat work,You dream of work,You breathe work!All i can say is,GET A LIFE U PEEPS!Theres more to life than just work.Believe me.Life is indeed beau if you know how to enjoy it.Right guys?

Here is some tips on how you can restrain yourself from being a workaholic:

The key is making time away from work -- totally away from work -- to get your life back in balance. It will take some effort on your part -- and perhaps the part of a friend or spouse -- to make the shift from a sole focus on work, but for your mental and physical well-being, you really should make the effort.

Block out "personal time" to spend with family and (non-work) friends.

When on the road for business, call home regularly to stayed connected.

Learn how to delegate work -- and learn to say no to new assignments (or at least learn not to be the first to volunteer to take the assignment).

Take time off, perhaps starting with a long weekend and gradually moving up to longer vacations -- and leave work behind.

Consider an exercise routine -- after clearing it with your doctor -- to get your body back to a healthy shape. And better, have a friend or significant other as your exercise buddy to make it more fun (and to keep your mind off work while working-out).

Consider volunteering -- to help others and to meet new people.

Convince yourself it is okay to sometimes just sit and relax and do nothing.

Find a hobby or two.

Fight the urge that everything you do must be perfect -- to your standards.

Accept that we all need a decent number of hours of sleep.

If you find yourself not able to do any of these suggestions, consider getting professional help to deal with what is basically an addiction.

Limericks!

There was a young lady one fall
Who wore a newspaper dress to a ball.
The dress caught fire
And burned her entire
Front page, sporting section and all.

There once was a lady, Ilene,
Who liver on distilled kerosene,
But she started absorbin'
A new hydrocarbon
and since then she'd never benzene

There was an old man of Philly,
Who was hooked on the movie Free Willy.
He quit his job at the jail,
for a dolphin and whale,
And so was the life of Wee Willy.

There once was a old man from Norway -
who cussed as he sat in a doorway-
the door smacked him flat-
and he yelled "what was that"?
that disgruntled old man from Norway!

There once was a kid named Darren
Who's room was surprisingly barren
He had no toys
Like all normal boys
But he did believe in sharing

There was a young lady from Niger,
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger.
After the ride
She was inside,
And the smile was on the face of the tiger.

There once was a guy named Matt
Who had an overly large cat
When it chased a mouse
It shook the whole house
So Matt got rid of the cat.

There once was a consumer named Phil
Who really wanted to kill
A sly young vendor
Who mad him a big spender
And gave him a very large bill.

There once was a poet named Dan,
Who's poetry never would scan.
When told this was so,
He said, "Yes, I know"
"It's because I try to put every possible syllable into the very last line that I can" !!

There was a young maid from Madras
Who had a magnificent ass;
Not rounded and pink,
As you probably think---
It was grey, had long ears, and ate grass.
There once was a boy from Montreal
Who loved to play basketball
For a team he tried out
But if he made it, I doubt
For you see, he was three feet tall!

Laud that JOB YOU WANT

Here's a tip to give urself the edge early in a job interview.Ask:
"What qualities do your most successful employees have?".This will alow you to to highlight the skills the interviewer most wants to know about.Since the question subtly reveals what the employer is looking for,you can use the information to tailor your response accordingly.Just remember not to overstate your talents,of coz!

Loving them like ours

Every festive season,there wil be news coverage of orphans or the underprivileged being visited and celebrated.

My heart cries for them.I put myself in their shoes and try to imagine living their life.

My imaginations run wild.I think of them not being able to feel "family life".How they don't experience their traditions and culture better.For an example,when it is Deepavali,there are prayers to be done and some tradition follows to be done on the eve and in the morning.Or celebrate Ponggal,Kartigai and many more.

So young,fragile,innocent and naive.Yet they carry such a pain.

How do they feel when they see other children having so much of love and happiness?

What wrong did they do till they have to endure so much of unhappiness at this young age?

How does their character build having lived in an orphanage?

Never knowing a love of a parent?Never having a family bond?

Many of us want to help out the orphans with clothes, medications, toys, and monetary donations, especially after having seen the needs of those orphanages. Thanks to some good samaritans and community bodies, as well as the increasing help from local government, the orphans can lead a normal life till they are 17 years old.

In the future,when i am able too,i will like to bring back a child or two to celebrate festivals to give them the experience of it.A long time ago,i had seen an advert asking people to just bring back an orphan to their home for a day at least to let them experience celebrating festivals in a family.

Give them love.Give them care.Show them that they are loved.Love them like they are your own child.Love is the most powerful element that can do wonders to a soul.

Don't just wait for celebrities or bodies to help them experience family life.It doesn't mean you have to be rich to do so.Bringing back a child to be with your family during festive season won't take a toll.Love and care doesn't cost you anything.

If everyone does this,imagine how many orphans face will you be able to brighten up.

Looking at their happy faces and smile bring you more joy than celebrating just with your family.

It's pure bliss.Pure satisfaction.Pure happiness.

And it is good for your soul,and the child's.

Infinity.Karma.
