Christopher Lee, Fann Wong Wedding Dinner at Shangri-La Hotel

A few months back, it was michelle and shaun chen wedding and now its fann turn. and again this is another celebrity wedding which is shown live on TV.

I believe this time, the sponsorship for fann heavily outweights michelle's

Just the jewelry, the sponsorship is 2.5m, which she designed some of them.

And that is just the accessories, not including the cars, gowns and maybe even the banquet!

Even mediacorp has dedicate a special website just for them.

Somehow, the biggest wedding in singapore did not inspire me to watch them live on tv, even though i can hear my father watching it in the living room.

Maybe because it does not feel like a natural wedding, seems to be too commericalize for me!

Health Benefits of Fish Oils

Do you know what is in your fish?

I did not know that fish was so healthy til i read it.

=======

Fish oil certainly contains one main benefit which is omega3 fatty acid. This is certainly the discovery of the century by scientists. And this single omega3 oil ingredient which exists only in fish oil brought a lot of health benefits to human.

Pregnant women, infants, patients with heart / brain diseases benefits greatly from the effects of fish oil.

Fishes that contains high levels of omega 3 fatty acids oil are ice cold water fish such as salmon, herring, sardines, anchovies and mackerel.

Fish oil health benefits are come from 3 components of the omega 3 fatty acids which are Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Builds up immune system

Regular intake of fish oil build up the immune system. Hence increasing your body resistance against common diseases such as cough and flus. Fish oil was given to human and injected in mice in a research. Results shown that mice with fish oil in their diet have stronger resistance than those than do not have.

Studies shown that taking fish oil reduces breast, colon and prostate cancers in elderly people.

Keeps the heart healthy

Another important health benefit of fish oil. Heart diseases are shown to be reduced when fish oil is implemented into their diet. Triglyceride level is reduced, when fish oil is absorbed, which is the cause for heart diseases.

However, by mixing a high saturated fat diet with omega 3 fish oil, the health benefits of fish oils are cancelled and become negligible.

High daily intake of omega 3 have shown to reduce high blood pressure in people and prevents blood vessels from hardening.

Anti Flammatory Properties

Anti flammatory properties exist in omega 3 in fish oil. Hence if you suffer from arthritis or other related diseases, eating fish oil brings great relief to your joints.

Asthma sufferers benefits from fish oil too. During asthma attacks, due to the anti flammatory functions of fish oils, there are reduced inflammation of the air pipes in the lungs.

Good for the brain

Regular consumptions have proved to reduce brain diseases such asParkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. High dosage of omega3 reduces the neurotoxin that exist in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.

School children who are given omega 3 fish oil experience improved learning and focus when compared to children not given omega 3 supplements.

People with depression are given fish oil as part of their diet to cure depression and 'cheer' them up.

A research held in Germany shows that headaches and migraine reduced significantly when fish oil is added into the diet of the sufferers.

However, do not over consume fishes after reading this articles as there are other dangerous fish oil side effects.

Now you can proudly tell your friends that you know all about fish oil health benefits after reading thru this article.

Nostalgic Music

I just went thru some of my music albums and flip out some of the music and listen to them.

Pretty nostalgic. Listening to the music i listen to when i was young make me feel as though i am a teenager again.. lol

Utada Hikaru - First Love

I believe this has become a worldwide love song instead of confining itself to asia. Such a heavenly song with beautiful singer (then) deserved this publicity.

This the best video i can find in youtube. Dun mind the lips not syncing with the words.

At least this has english, and japanese lyrics

a

911 - The Day We Find Love

I particularly love this song, why?

Cos the lead singer had the same surname as me!!

911 is a 3 person boyband, but as far as i know he the only one singing most of the time. The remaining 2 will be singing in only at chorus and making the extra sound effects.

Check the portion of the song at ... " Ooooo... remember me" The 2 will be at the background making the "bap bap" sound

Noriko Sakai - Kagami no Doresu

Another vintage song of the yesteryears.

I found not find the original MV, hence the placement video as this song is the OST for this movie , card captor sakura - The sealed card. I watched that previously too!

But at least i did not watch sailormoon!

Too bad Noriko Sakai is now taking drugs. Oh, what 10 years make a person!

News here

http://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/national/news/20090917p2a00m0na011000c.html

Most of my songs during that period are japs and anything that is non-english and mandarin. Well, i even listen to thai songs!

Well, when you are young, you can experiment with everything.

When you are old, its time to back the english and chinese songs again!

Facebook Mafia Wars Asia Destination - Hong Kong

Seems like the new destination after moscow is hongkong for facebook mafia wars asia. Seems like bangkok is being replaced.

Probably hong kong have a lot of triads movies recently. And zynga people watches too much thai horror movies.

Health Risks of Shower Heads

You have one shower head at home? Well, almost everybody has 1 at home. Agree?

The next haunting question. How long have you not clean it?

1 year? 2 year? 5 years? or 10 years?

I moved house for around 1 year, hence i believe mine is a lot newer than yours.

Want to know about the health risks if shower head?

Read on!



========

WASHINGTON – In what may be the scariest shower news since Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho," a study says showerheads can harbor tiny bacteria that come spraying into your face when you wash.

People with normal immune systems have little to fear, but these microbes could be a concern for folks with cystic fibrosis or AIDS, people who are undergoing cancer treatment or those who have had a recent organ transplant.

Researchers at the University of Colorado tested 45 showers in five states as part of a larger study of the microbiology of air and water in homes, schools and public buildings. They report their shower findings in Tuesday's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

In general, is it dangerous to take showers? "Probably not, if your immune system is not compromised in some way," lead author Norman R. Pace says. "But it's like anything else _ there is a risk associated with it."

The researchers offer suggestions for the wary, such as getting all-metal showerheads, which microbes have a harder time clinging to.

Still, showerheads are full of nooks and crannies, making them hard to clean, the researchers note, and the microbes come back even after treatment with bleach.

People who have filtered showerheads could replace the filter weekly, added co-author Laura K. Baumgartner. And, she said, baths don't splash microbes into the air as much as showers, which blast them into easily inhaled aerosol form.

It doesn't seem as frightening as the famous murder-in-the-shower scene in Hitchcock's classic 1960 movie. But it's something to be reckoned with all the same.

The bugs in question are Mycobacterium avium, which have been linked to lung disease in some people.

Indeed, studies by the National Jewish Hospital in Denver suggest increases in pulmonary infections in the United States in recent decades from species like M. avium may be linked to people taking more showers and fewer baths, according to Pace.

Symptoms of infection can include tiredness, a persistent, dry cough, shortness of breath, weakness and "generally feeling bad," he said.

Showerheads were sampled at houses, apartment buildings and public places in New York, Illinois, Colorado, Tennessee and North Dakota.

The researchers sampled water flowing from the showerheads, then removed them, swabbed the interiors of the devices and separately sampled water flowing from the pipes without the showerheads.

By studying the DNA of the samples they were able to determine which bacteria were present.

They found that the bacteria tended to build up in the showerhead, where they were much more common than in the incoming feed water.

Most of the water samples came from municipal water systems in cities such as New York and Denver, but the team also looked at showerheads in four rural homes supplied by private wells. No M. avium were found in those showerheads, though some other bacteria were.

In previous work, the same research team has found M. avium in soap scum on vinyl shower curtains and above the water surface of warm therapy pools.

And stay tuned. Other studies under way by Pace's team include analyses of air in New York subways, hospital waiting rooms, office buildings and homeless shelters.

The research was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.

Virginia Tech microbiologist Joseph O. Falkinham welcomed the findings, saying M. avium can be a danger because in a shower "the organism is aerosolized where you can inhale it."

In addition to people with weakened immune systems, Falkinham also cited studies showing increased M. avium infections in slender, elderly people who have a single gene for cystic fibrosis, but not the disease itself.

Two copies of the gene are needed to get cystic fibrosis, but having just one copy may result in increased vulnerability to M. avium infection as people age, said Falkinham, who was not part of Pace's research team.

I summarize for you if the whole thing was a mouthful.

• For people with normal immune system, do not worry that much. If you are those that have weak immune systems or you have some immune system disorder or if you are the elderly, you will to take note
• Lesser bacteria exist in water from pipe are much cleaner than water passing through the shower head.
• Metal shower head are slightly safer than their non-metal counterparts

I did not bother about shower heads til i read the yahoo article. Make me cringle now.

After using body foam to wash off the physical dirt, i am covered by the mini algae and bacteria after i bath!

So now, we know about the health risks of shower heads!

Whiteout The movie Review - An Alternative View

I guess i am kinda hook on writing movie reviews. If only i could watch them earlier than anyone else~

Before that, what is white out definition?

A polar weather condition caused by a heavy cloud cover over the snow, in which the light coming from above is approximately equal to the light reflected from below, and which is characterized by absence of shadow, invisibility of the horizon, and discernibility of only very dark objects.

source : http://www.thefreedictionary.com/whiteout

Well anyways. Whiteout is an action and suspense movie, with some gore. Half shot heads, amputations, throat cutting, gutsy scenes of cuts (not those simple cuts, but cuts by ice axe!).

Opening scene is in a russian plane which crashes in Antarctica, carrying valuable, russian stuffs which will be revealed in the later part of the story. And after crashing, the story fast forward to modern days.

Kate Beckinsale stars as a military police, in whiteout, working in the icy southern land.

Other than the starting scene where she baths in a hot steamy shower, the rest of the movie will make you feel cold and shiver!

And along the way, a pilot discovers the body and the plot starts and thicken like ice at the south pole along the way. The suspense is not too draggy and the ending finishes the movie pretty nicely with an unexpected twist.

When you are at the ending, which the murderer is exposed and dealt with, instead of melting the suspense which has, thicken to become an ice mountain and experience an adrenaline rush of the entire ice mountain melting and sweeping you away, You experienced only a trinkle of stream.

If you do not understand what the heck i am trying to write in the previous paragraph, which i am confused reading as well, simply it means the ending of the twist was BORING.

If you understand the paragraph. Let me know in the comments below =D

Overall, whiteout is a great movie with storyline only with the ending failing it.

PS: The CG images on the Antarctica sky was enchanting. No harm going down there to see the sky once =D

You want to buy a drill like this? Pretty interesting little stuff! =D

Very useful for fixing the wheels onto your car!

Facts of Life by Super Mario

Super Mario certainly caught us a couple of things about life in the game. =D

Her 23rd Hubby!! Marrying for the 23rd time

A 107 yr old woman marrying a 37 yr old man? And that a 23rd husband? Probably almost enough to get into gusiness world record!!

23rd! That a huge number. And with such a young man at 37years old? Not exactly young, but the man is young enough to be her grandson! or even great grandson.

Well, can understand her loneliness, when she 100+ and having no relatives (i assume)

And the husband is currently in a drug rehab centre.

Well, and the man claimed that he love her? i think he too high on drugs when he is marrying her. Or she is loaded.


i wondered what happened to the rest of the hubbies she had?

Dont judge too quickly!

A couple of videos for a healthy morning laugh =D

Selling Pirated Software in Bright DayLight in Comex

Well, not really bright daylight.

Anyway, bright daylight is a direct translation from a chinese proverb. 光天化日

I saw an article which was from a computer repair shop's website which reports a store in comex selling laptop preloaded with pirated windows software! Right in the noses of thousands of people!

Naturally, we human tends to think that if you dare to sell openly in such a big event, you should be the real stuff.

But hey, when we go to Kuala Lumpur Chee Cheong Kai, the stores are selling LVs and Guccis openly too =D

Well, everyone needs to earn more profit. But, didn't they play the stock market in march which rallied?

Well, technically, the licences are not pirated. The licences are original CD keys taken from other PCs. You are still able to updated and authenticate with microsoft.

However, logically, the licence is only allowed to be installed on 1 PC ONLY which in this case was the previous PC the COA was taken from. And the licence is not meant to be reused, Hence the CD keys become illegal when installed on another PC.

So take note when you purchase a new PC in the future when it comes with the windows software! Make sure you have the COA sticker which is branded new and does not look re-used!

So take

Comex Computer Show at Suntec

Comex Computer Fair Tips

If you want the best offer, go during the extreme period, meaning the early noon of first day and late evening of the last day, there when you get the best offers!

Blood Ties Movie Review 还魂 - Big BOO BOO

Blood Ties Movie Review 还魂

What does 还魂 means? in direct translation, it means soul returning to body. The chinese believe that the soul will return to visit the family members on the 7th night of death and the show is scened at the 7th night only.

Expecting a horror show? Read on.

Storyline

Shun, a policeman,and his wife were brutally murdered by the trials. Shun seeks revenge by possessing his sister, Qing, on the 7th night. During the night, he seeks out his enemies one by one and even the evil police inspector that is in cahoots with the gang.

Extremely thin plot. And do not watch this if you are expecting a horror show. Nothing horrible, no ghastly ghost or event.

Even with the big stars 曾江 and 郑佩佩，this fails to liven up the movie.

This movie leans more towards gore with some sexual themes and the coarse language.

Revenge is done by Qing (as she was possessed) and the first 2 murders are executed by dick cutting and dick shooting, because those 2 rape and murder his wife.

The plot does not run thru chronologically, instead, it does flashbacks to show you what happened in the past that leads to the current scene. the flashbacks are executed perfectly and greatly enhance the storyline.

Along the way, there are coarse languages, however there are some inconsistency in subtitles and languages.

In some subtitles, the famous 4 letter F word is shown completely, while another, the F word is censored as F#$%.

And while chatting with people, i do not think that we switch languages consistently. If you are speaking english to your friend during a conversation, you stick with it all the way right?

In one scene, i forgot who the actors are, A and B are talking in cantonese, and in another scene, A and B are talking in chinese. And yet another scene, in english.

Did the director forgot what language the actors are supposed to chat in? Or is the director trying to say "Hey, my actors are multi-lingual"

And seems like this show seems like a soft porn movie to me, due to the way the sexual scenes are acted out. My vocabulary pretty limited to describe this fully to you. Check out other hongkong movies with sexual scenes and probably you might catch what i am trying to say.

As this Blood ties movie review 还魂 states, it is not recommend to watch this movie if you are looking for the horror theme. To me, the poster, the title, does not match the gene.

Not much of ghostly actions, it is more of violence and revenge. An extremely lame horror show to me. Thriller? Nah, dun plan on a single one. There are no thrills.

It will be better if the designer or whoever change the poster and title to suit the revenge theme, instead of trying to showcast as a horror show.

Change the trailer too please!

thank you (=

Complete waste of my money as i was expecting a horror show!

Ways to Deal with a telemarketer

Had those calls where the persistent telemarketer just will not let you go? And wish you had some methods to deal with them?

Here one~ A simple phone prank to counter back to scare the shit out of them.

Well, but dun always do this to them~ they are working as well.

Who likes to be on the phone for almost 8 hours a day

Final Farewell to Michael Jackson

Finally this guy is back in 1 piece, after having his brain taken out, body cut open, and will rest in piece. Or can he be rest in peace?

After his burial, i predict a saga of a fight over his fortune. Provided he still have money left over in his bank.

- Challenges to his will

- royalty distribution

- his children

- his death case

- his funeral images (yes, i read that even his funeral image is worth millions of dollars!)

that is what you face if you are a major celebrity. In the sense of major, i do not mean the top celebrity of a country. Major as in worldwide where almost everyone in the world know who you are and have heard your songs somewhere.

With him being a major celebrity, probably some MJ fanatics might even try to steal his body, embed him to become Mummy Jackson.

If you are one of those fanatics, he is now at Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Try your luck if you wish.

Or maybe, this might even be a FAKE funeral. With the casket closed, it could be an empty one and he could be buried at other places~

Well, no one knows.

Anyway, Goodbye Mikey.
