Give Your Blood


It's a yearly blood donation at my church during the Ramadhan month.
The blood bank in the Penang Hospital is always indicating 'RENDAH' (low).

I looked a bit cacat here, but thanks to my CG member who was ever willing to snap a picture for me with her Canon.

Few things to take note if you are an eligible donor:
1. Weight > 45kg
I saw the youths who were 40kgs trying their luck.
2. Must not stay with any family member who had Hepatitis.
3. Must NOT be older than 50 yrs old, unless you are a frequent donor.
4. Cannot donate if you have stayed in UK. Mad cow disease ka? or any other countries.
5. Pregnant or menstruating.
Oops. I lied to a doctor before when I was menstruating last time.
6. Sufficient sleep (> 6 hrs of sleep)
7. No piercing/tattoo. Piercing > 1 year
8. No Hypertension/low blood pressure
9. Cholestrol also cannot be HIGH. :P lolz.. :D :P

And to know how much you have donated:
1. less than 55kg == only 300 ml
2. more than 55kg == 450 ml
3. 250ml == i donated this amount when I was a first-time donor back in university.

So, stay healthy and help some souls with your blood today!

Number 3 states that you must be older than 50 years old. You don't look 50. No, I'm not joking. You really don't! :D

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

An afternoon at Dannok

Living at the northern side of Malaysia makes it really convenient and easy to go 'overseas'. For us, going to our neighboring country, be it Thailand or Singapore by land or by flight is really easy. I'm always a fan of Thai food, and with the remaining Thai bahts that I had since my last Bangkok trip (which I didn't finish even crossing the border a couple or times), I decided to go Dannok for FOOD again. So, it's a day trip or rather, half day tour to Dannok For the past few weeks, I was searching for insta / blog /facebook posts if there is any other new hangouts in Dannok, but sadly, I couldn't find many bloggers who write about it. The funny part is, I already blogged about it two years ago. The immigration complex in Malaysia is new. I nearly couldn't recognize it, while passing to get our passport checked. As I didn't want to drive over, we parked our car at the Zon Duty Free. As I entered, I took the wrong ticket (which parking rate is RM3
