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.

Monday Movie Day - Mamma Mia

Finally, after being a nuffnanger for 3 months, I was invited for a free movie at GSC Gurney. Thanks, nuffnang. Again and again. Free movie for 3. Thanks. :D The blogger community was exceptionally quiet compared to the usual cinema crowd. Perhaps, maybe, they only TALK in their blog. I dont' know. Even as we were watching a few minutes of the silent movie, there were not a single 'hoo-ing' or banana-throwing at the screens. I was looking hard to see if I know anyone. I guess it's just 5xmom with her anti-ISA tshirt. Hm.. Somewhat, after watching the movie, I felt that it was just morally so wrong. Am I too rational? 1. How can one has 3 fathers? Shouldn't they do a DNA check first? 2. Does that mean it's alright sleeping with 3 men one after another and get pregnant and raise the child in an island? 3. It seemed ok for the daughter to just call off the wedding. 4. And, the pastor actually solemnized their wedding just like that? They don't even need to att...

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...
