1 min he is blaming me for doing the claim alone. nw i am guiding her, doing altogether so she can help him... yet he ask her go do other scope & ask her to pass back to me and i was in the midst of doing other things. I find office is in the mess bcos of all fickle minded mgmt.

Recently, something happen at work. My work progress, had problem again. Mgr wan the most accurate work progress percentage. The most reliable way is to pass it to the respective jobsite supervisor. After I gt the progress, b4 sending out, I will let him go thru, and he will keep ask me hw cum this much? My answer, I gt all info frm supervisors. I really dun know wat they expect frm me. I find working isn’t only a once a mth affair, it require everyday effort, the formula they use isn’t as easy, hw they calculate.

Unqte

Monday...

Monday took MC, had really bad headache when getting ready 4 work, but I didn’t think much, then hub offer to send me to work, so happy, while on the way I complain abt my headache again. When reachin office area, hub wan me to help him get breakfast, so I thought since I am getting food frm the same stall so I order together, then quickly got buy tea…both stalls having long quene…FAINTzzz…when finally get all the food, hub scolded me for being so late all bccos I get my food as well…L anyway, I juz ask him to go off quickly as it is his 1^st day of wrk. While walking back to office, I feel dizzy n headache, no choice still got to walk, when reach office, I put down everything on table…who knows, I saw water flowing dw…OMG MY TEA!!! Haizzz…I quickly get towel to wipe. Haizzz,…y all things juz went so bad when I am nt feeling well??? Then to my surprise water supply is BACK…so lucky.

After wiping the mess, I sweat abit & feel nt so dizzy bt still having bad headache/heavy head(I cant think of another word to describe), then had a painkiller bt no use leh after 30mins. Finally BTH, quickly ask for medical chit to go see doc, as I feel like blackout when I try to stand, SMS boss then off I go. THEY must be thinking y bother to come in since nt feeling well… …

Anyway, took a cab out…reach clinic at 9am++, waited till 11.30am then can get out of that place…staffs there are really so unorganized, by right, 1 staff doing registration, 2 staffs do dispensing & 1 do others mah,,,bt if gt ppl come in for registration, all staffs doing the same things, then doc got crop up, frm quene no: 25 jump to 33 & 34 & 35. I gt so angry as I am no. 28 & moreover, I am in extreme bad mood… …haha…after awhile, I go sound out my unhappiness then is my turn, tat doc, didn’t really examine me, I guess he must thinking I am one of those who is taking MC for the sake of taking rest…I had no strength to tell him more, after he say ok u can go take medication, I didn’t bother to thank him…hehe! I thought this time I gt to wait another 30-45mins b4 I could collect my medication, who knows 10mins I gt it & to my surprise doc only give me painkiller…as I suspect I gt COLD (GAN MAO). Again, dun bother to ask more, juz make sure my MC is given & quickly go home sleep/rest. When get back hm, I cook myself some Maggie mee then take my own family doc medication & sleep, then quickly sms hub to inform him I am home, really sleepy, after awhile I wake up and watch tv. So funny… then hub back frm wrk.

After dinner, watched channel U(Wu lin da hui), I find Taiwan variety still the best, then at 9pm I cant take it, seem headache coming again, I fall asleep…at 11pm, hub come in & ask me take medication & fall back sleep again…haha! I plan to watch 10.30pm channel 8…bt…too tired.

Hub say muz be our BB, make me sick…haha! I guess partly as I didn’t hv enuff rest for last 2 weeks, after back frm genting(12am) still go back wrk the next day then Tuesday nite did get to sleep well as BB was back & she didn’t sleep well as well…then Friday nite the same, BB dun cooperate.

China covered up milk scare to protect Olympics: critics

AFP - Wednesday, October 1
BEIJING (AFP) - - China knew about the contamination of milk products months ago but covered the scandal up to prevent it tarnishing the Beijing Olympics, according to journalists, rights groups and media critics.
The crisis broke in mid-September, a month after the Olympics, but several Chinese reporters had long known about babies being hospitalised after drinking tainted milk, yet were muzzled by the authorities, the critics say.

An editor at a respected southern China newspaper said that as early as July one of his reporters was investigating how milk powder might have been to blame for children developing kidney stones and falling seriously sick.

"As a news editor, I was deeply concerned because I sensed that this was going to be a huge public health disaster," Southern Weekend news editor Fu Jianfeng said on his blog.
"But I could not send any reporters out to investigate. Therefore, I harboured a deep sense of guilt and defeat at the time."

Fu's blog posting was later removed, although it could be read on some overseas Chinese websites. Fu himself could not be reached for comment.
An estimated 53,000 Chinese children have been sickened after the industrial chemical melamine was added to milk products, and four infants have died.
The first of the baby deaths was on May 1, more than four months before the scandal went public.

Starting with Sanlu milk powder, the scare has gone on to envelop numerous Chinese firms and international companies operating in China, including global giants Cadbury and Unilever.

Chinese premier Wen Jiabao vowed over the weekend to work to restore his country's reputation, saying it was facing the problem "candidly".
However, there are claims that Chinese authorities reverted to the familiar practice of squashing the negative news reports, apparently conscious of the damage it would do to the August 8-24 Olympics.
"Several Chinese journalists have said it is becoming more and more obvious that the authorities in July prevented an investigation into the toxic milk coming out so as not to tarnish China's image before the Olympics," said a statement by media rights group Reporters Without Borders.
Sanlu Group began receiving complaints of sick children as early as last December, a recent cabinet probe found in an apparent attempt to shift the blame for the delay.
It also said Communist officials in the northern city of Shijiazhuang, where Sanlu is based, delayed referring the matter to higher authorities for more than a month after Sanlu finally told them of the problem on August 2, six days before the Beijing Games began.
"It is a concern that the first cases appeared early, but were concealed during the Olympics. A perfect environment was needed for the Games," said a Western product-safety expert who asked not to be named.
Despite the World Health Organisation and United Nations raising concerns about the delay in exposing the risks, rights groups say the Chinese government is continuing to silence reporters, suppressing media coverage vital to determining blame and preventing a recurrence.
"The government's gag order on the media has the effect of shielding those responsible for the tainted milk from accountability," Chinese Human Rights Defenders, a network of domestic and foreign rights activists, said in an emailed report.
It cited several instances of reporting by Chinese media censored or banned by authorities. The instances could not be confirmed by AFP.
The Brussels-based International Federation of Journalists last week also criticised China for "escalated restrictions" on reporting on the scandal.
It said propaganda authorities had expelled journalists from at least four Chinese newspapers in the same city as Sanlu's headquarters.
It also said authorities had deleted articles on the case from news websites and insisted on pre-approving related articles.
"China's Central Propaganda Department's attempts to control the media's reporting of a very serious public health crisis can only serve to heighten fears," the IFJ said.
"A free flow of information through a free media is vital where lives are at stake, and government restrictions on journalists may be endangering public health."
China has blamed the scandal largely on milk brokers adding melamine to boost milk protein readings.

Dangers of melamine

MELAMINE'S level of toxicity is not very high, but it is known to cause urinary problems and bladder stones when consumed, according to Dr Leong Lai Peng, a senior lecturer in the food science and technology programme at the National University of Singapore.

It may also cause cancer, said DrLeong, adding that a research paper has shown that male rats exposed to high dosages developed carcinomas, which are malignant cancers.

Melamine itself contains a lot of nitrogen, which may explain why China infant formula producers added it to their products.

Dr Leong said that when food testers examine products for protein content, they look at nitrogen levels. Adding melamine would make the product look like it had more protein than it actually did.

Cooking does not make melamine less dangerous as its toxicity is not likely to be reduced even after exposure to heat.

It may also react with certain components in food products such as sugar, glucose and fructose, but no studies have been done to examine the results of this reaction, said Dr Leong.

How to Prevent a Sore Throat from Progressing to a Cold

Before I share a great little tip on how to stop a sore throat from progressing into a week-long cold, please know that periodically experiencing a cold or the flu can actually be helpful to your health. If you have no idea why this is, please view the following popular article that I wrote on this topic:

What Most Doctors Won't Tell You About Colds and Flus

You just won't get this information on why colds and flus can help you stay healthy over the long run from medical textbooks and mainstream media - please consider sharing it with family and friends.

Although experiencing a cold or the flu once in a while can help rid your body of your weakest cells, I'm willing to bet that there are times when you would really prefer to delay such a period of cleansing and malaise.

Here's how you can stand a good chance of preventing a cold from developing:

As soon as you experience that sore, tickly feeling in your throat that precedes a full-blown cold, gargle with warm salt water.

And when I say gargle, I mean really gargle; take in a mouthful of warm salt water, look up at the ceiling, and gargle aggressively. You may want to tap at your throat (the Adam's apple region) with your fingers while you gargle to encourage the warm salt water to trickle deeply into your throat.

Gargle like this several times with a glass of warm salt water, and repeat as often as possible throughout the day.

Warm salt water can remove viruses from the tonsils and adenoids that line the back of your throat region. Viruses that cause colds and flus typically get caught by your tonsils and adenoids before they spread through your body. Your tonsils and adenoids are important parts of your immune system because they are located near the entrance of your breathing passages, and they serve as a first line of defense against undesirable airborne microorganisms and substances.

This, by the way, is why it is best not to remove tonsils and adenoids from your throat region. Chronic swelling of tonsils and adenoids is best addressed by reducing sugar intake, adopting a minimally processed diet that is rich in fresh plant foods, and supporting immune system health by getting plenty of rest, exercise, and exposure to sunlight and fresh air.

Cold salt water may also help to remove viruses from your tonsils and adenoids, but warm salt water tends to be more effective. Warm water may help to melt the fatty coating that protects viruses that cause the cold and flu.

What if you gargle for all you're worth but still end up developing a full-blown cold?

Get lots of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take comfort in knowing that countless viruses are at work destroying your weakest cells. And don't forget to blow your nose as often as it runs; help your body get rid of what it wants to get rid of.

Out of Sight?

Yesterday came in office earlier so thinking of continue my Photo album designing. Bt i cant find my Pix folders...total i save 3 big folders in my PC juz days b4 & it was still ard b4 i switch off my PC a day b4.

Melamine?

This article is about the chemical substance called melamine. The term "melamine" may also be used to refer to melamine resin, a plastic made from melamine and formaldehyde.

Not to be confused with melanin, a pigment found in skin and hair, or with melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone regulating the circadian rhythms of most animals.

Melamine is an organic base with the chemical formula C₃H₆N₆, with the IUPAC name 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine. It is only slightly soluble in water.

Melamine is a trimer of cyanamide. Like cyanamide, it is 66% nitrogen (by mass) and provides fire retardant properties to resin formulas by releasing nitrogen when burned or charred. Dicyandiamide (or cyanoguanidine), the dimer of cyanamide, is also used as a fire retardant.

Melamine is a metabolite of cyromazine, a pesticide. It is formed in the body of mammals who have ingested cyromazine.^[2] It was also reported that cyromazine is converted to melamine in plants.^[3][4]

My wishlist

- Hv a brand new specs

She always point to herself when I say I am Jaelyn mummy. I guess she is telling me that she is Jaelyn n I am her mummy. J

My feeling for JAE

I find jae has my temper. Last week, If I pinch or beat her bcos she blink blink eyes, she blink even more and seem like she will purposely blink more infront of me.

This week I use different approach, after I beat her I dun use say dun blink eye, I will say to her, mummy say to u, id u do this, this is nt right, y u wan to do wrong thing? Dun do it anymore…k? She might blink 1 more time, I will pretend nt to see it. N Sunday proves I am right, she blink in the morning and stop after I talk to her. So happy.

Now She wan to snatch my specs, I try to talk to her, muz try a few times b4 she really understand as sometimes she thinks I am playing with her. Maybe I must hv more ferocious look...

25Aug - Driver reversing without seeing??? y???

Over the wkn, read paper and saw a news heading: Lorry driver knocked onto a 8yrs old & today paper appear tis Lorry driver 'pls forgive me'.

To me nt only Lorry Driver reversing without realising there's ppl walking past. Car driver also. As i working in tuas area, the truck drivers here are kind of quite ok as they are aware ppl will walk past frequent during morning/lunch & off work timing. Bt during lunch hr, car driver here are very kaisu abt parking lot, they are fight for lots, reversing with seeing, my colleague was nearly being knocked dw... and wat the driver do is juz wave and say sorry...wat is the use?

When my kid is older, muz make them aware abt road safety, nt only when crossing road bt also wen walking in carpark. muz always be 100% alert abt the vehicles bcos driver dun really care abt pedestrian.

new bb shoes frm Mothercare

On Monday PM mentioned increase 4more weeks for maternity... ...shld we be happy or not? Is good to hv more time for our kids bt hw abt employer?

last week hv job fair @suntec, went there with dada & mum & bb jae, expect dada, the rest of us were shopping, dada went to the fair to check out.

@ Marina Square saw a few sales, bought sum clothes for BB jae, FOX @ $7/pc only. Without much thinking i bought 3suits for her, all are bigger size HOPE can last her till CNY. Gt white blouse/*/t-shirt, dark red shorts...:)

BB jae,grown up so fast. nw she have temper liao, if she is unhappy she will become groggy/cranky. haha! if she wan to crawl, she must crawl, i learn frm book tat we must let them be so she will be tired and sleep good. haha! even though hw unwilling we r to let her crawl on floor bt still give in juz need more time to do cleaning while she sleeps.

Things always dun go according to wat we want. Most of the time is going against our will. y?

Last week, saw a funeral near my mum place, she told me is for a young mummy. her children is just barely 7 & 2...

Saturday was her last day n my mum told me the daughter was crying & shouting for mummy, n daddy was consoling her tat mummy had gone to a peaceful place, dun shout anymore mummy knw u r calling her, call her frm ur heart, mummy will know... if i was there, i sure cry.

I was thinking wat will happen to BB jae if i die young, i hope my mum will continue to look after & educate her. She must grow up to be a good temper, healthy happi gal.

Whatever going to happen in future, we must treasure wat we hv nw. We must really take good care of ourselves.

Today back to work, in tray gt some works for me bt I miss BB jaee, had a long week with BB jae. She was quite cranky last few days. Always wake up in the middle of the nite, demand for rocking her to sleep when I heard her snoring, I gradually stop rocking, she will wake up again when is stopping, really pissed me off bt wat to do? Pray that she will fall into deep sleep sn…then 7am++ again she will wake up n when I rock her she will sleep bt if stop she will wake up again…haizzz….will let her wake up n bathe her & give her milk…then bring her down for morning walk hehe!

When I point to her tat got bird n tat time birds flying from tree A to B. then she turn back to look at tree A to see if still got bird will fly to tree B. n really got another bird flying over, she was so happy keep screaming…den laugh at herself & keep clap her hand.

Let her try egg yolk. She loves it so much. 1^st time I mixed with rice cereal to treat like breakfast for her, as I was having my breakfast as I didn’t hv walker at hm so put her sitting beside me, then keep telling her this is breakfast, u r having rice cereal with egg yolk. She was smiling all the way.

Since last week, been boiling stock for BB Jae which intro by Zoe Tay, I boiled with spare ribs, ikan bills, yellow beans, dry scallop, red dates, and wolfberry with corn, potato & carrot,i add veggies wen cooking porridge. Then pour it in bottles and store in fridge use it when we going to cook porridge. I give my mum a big bottle so BB jae can get more nutrients. Wen she is with me I tried to mixed more food for her like fish with potato, potato with egg yolk or carrot with potato & etc etc. We bought fish to cook with porridge, I was so worried that it will hv bones. Haizzz…keep use finger to stir the porridge to check b4 feed BB. If wait till feeding time then stir, she will nt be so patient to wait for us, hahaaha!

Anyway, my mum say BB jae seem like grow fatter leh…hopefully…

Bought 2pack L petpet @ $20.00 only. Kind of cheap liao as nw market rate is $15/pack.

Sometime I will think back if we have been spoiling BB jae, I do not wish to spank her in future bcos of our mistake now. It is so hard to get it balance. Sometime when will demand to get her ways by screaming, Unless is too late, if nt I will nt comply to her wish, at nite before goes to bed, sometime she will want to get out of the room n walk round the living rm, nw is living rm, dun knw in future where she will want. I really worry. Was letting her crawling round the living rm. Playing hid n seek with her, she was so happy. She will try to do look for me wen call her n hide…haha!

She is nw reading picture book & flipping pages using 2 fingers. So cute. Then when she see those pages I had been reading to her, she will make some noise to alert me then when I read to her she will smile…so cute…

I really wish I do nt need to spank her. Last Saturday evening, really too angry, I spank her on her 'pigu', as she keep turn around nt wanting me to put on her diaper…nw as she grow older she starts to roll over & she won’t keep still for us, haizzz… nw when think back, mayb i shld let her be...let her roll n crawl awhile then wear bt wat if she urine? i kena once in the middle of the nite, haha on my bed, haizzz...as dadi was sleeping so use her cloth diaper to cover the wet area. This happen when she is nt having enuff sleep, tat evening she even dun allow us to wear her clothes, so angry as i manage to let her wear one side then bring her to mirror to let her see hw she wear then she keep smiling at herself, after 5mins i manage to let her wear full...tat time was too windy...so worry.

When teaching our children, most impt is to be consistent. I do nt allow her to play TV controller, DVD controller or HP bt sometime she is too hyper active only controller & HP can make her keep still at one corner for awhile like when we wanna have our meal or esp when dadi is carrying her for her meal. So am I right? So hard to be consistent, I try nt to let her get wat she wants eg if she see something n demand to touch/take I won’t let her… … this I can be very consistent bt for controller thing I cant as my il side & dadi is letting her doing these. So… …fan...

back to wrk - 23Jun

Took a day leave on last fri, 20June, i took BB jae back the nite b4, she is all well & she wanna sleep with us and she woke up early the next day she is up @ 7am+++, as usual, boil water, prepare for her bathing time, and get her milk ready, juz in case she demand for milk wen dressing her, though never happen b4. after bath, played awhile, she will catch ur attention to carry her, i bought her down to buy paper & get breakfast...then in afternoon went out with mum, so unlucky, we are suppose to go police post to collect my mum lost purse bt the department in charge went for prayer...ask us to come back @ 2.30pm, mum still suggest we wait there lah, bt tat is waiting for 2hrs for nothing, i told her we go shopping till 4pm+++ then rush back by cab better, bought a few blouses & had ice cream for tea break @ cheaper rate.:)

she is so happy to bath, always kicking the water and start to wanna grab all our shampoo bottles placed on the toilet bowl.

After watching the bb show on sat nite, i start mashed pumpkin mixed with plain rice cereals for BB Jae, she like it very much bt i didnt let her hv too much afraid she might hv indigestion...hehe! then in the evening, we boiled some carrot to mixed with cereals for her to try, she love it too, nw am worrying if she will reject 'jiang yu zai'. nw we dun carry her to feed her, we placed her on her rocking chair to feed & wen she is full, she will 1 to lie on her back to hv her milk, she knows wat is comfortable, was puzzle wen she is being so irritated when i give her milk on her rocking chair den call mum then to find this habit out... ...haha!

Tips for a Better Life in 2008...

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile . It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.. Buy a lock if you have to.

3.. Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows and get more sleep .

4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to ___ today.'

5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy .

6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2007.

7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, and prayer . They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.

9. Dream more while you are awake.

10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

mummy - look out!

Y'dae apply 1 day leave on 20jun, friday, gt approved, so happy...

Working in a company, sometime really gt to be 100% alert at all times.

was eating snake juz nw, then read post @ some forum, i was shocked that in Spore we hv so many single mum, sum are really young mum, some even go thru hardship b4 ending the fearful period & children affect the most. Y men can be so irresponsible? Y lady muz suffer for them? Have the lady tink thoroughly b4 they decide to keep the child?

Even being in marriage does not mean long lasting promise. Many things can happen, is best to stay happy, positive everyday, every min, second.

Finally i got my laptop.

finally a working day is over smoothly.
