Low Hemoglobin (Hb)

I wanted so much to do my periodic blood donation and the last time I donated was in July.
I happily went to a blood donation campaign thinking that I'd be able to contribute to the Penang Blood bank.

I thought I had enough sleep.
I thought I had enough nutrition.
I thought it was the best timing.

And when they checked my Hemoglobin... I was dissapointed..... that the reading was only 12.2.
We need >= 12.5 in order to donate.

Sigh, I blame on myself over-exerting myself the day before; having hikes and swims.
Now that I cant donate my blood!

So the advice was to take more supplements.
The doctor gave me B-complex and Ferum ( I think)

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 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...
