西藏的佛教。。。

西藏是众所周知的佛教圣地,那里的高僧(被称为达赖)有着很崇高的社会地位。

上几个月看了香港的特约电视节目介绍西藏,看了觉得蛮有趣。那里的人很信赖佛教,也很诚心,连跪下也必须全身动到地上。他们都相信世界是有轮回这事。。。

那里的人往生后除了僧侣是火藏外,都是风藏及水藏。也就是说死后会挂在山上或丢进海底让他自然腐化,喂鸟、味喂鱼。。。

除此之外,那里的达赖会有预知能力,在临终前会知道将来投胎在哪户人家,并把它写在纸上。在他们往生后,就会把它拿出来看,跟据纸里所形容的再加上宗教的一些活动如观察圣湖等去寻找那投胎的婴儿。。。往往他们需要几年时间才能找到那为孩儿。在找到后,那婴儿通常会认得达赖生前所用过的东西,做过的行为或说过的话。。。他们会把他请回庙里,称他为小活佛,让他接受专人照顾,接受良好的教育,培养他为将来的达赖。。。你相信吗?

5 types of liquid, 5 stages of life

Recently, just found a very interesting articles and photos: 5 type of liquid, 5 stages of life.

Firstly, when we come to this world, we consume MILK liquid. This were the source of protein and nutrient. We depends on the nutrient of the milk (either from mother or cow) to grow bigger and stronger.

Then, as we grow bigger, as we attended primary school, we start to drink MILO or other healthy cereal drink. MILO or healthy cereal drink gives us the nutrient we need to stay active and healthy all day long.

As we step in secondary school to college life, we start to stop MILO or other healthy cereal drink, and we drink CARBONATED SOFT DRINK instead. We join with friends together and drink soft drink for fun. Whenever we go for fast food restaurant, we drink soft drink. We get fun and joy by drinking carbonated soft drink.

Upon completing of study, we start to work, start to make friends from works. We start to drink BEER OR OTHER ALCOHOLIC DRINKS after work or during weekends to show that we're already in our adulthood. When we woo girls / boys in pub, we drink alcoholic drinks. We get a sense of adulthood by drinking alcohol.

Soon after too much consuming of alcohol, our hair drops, we gain a big beer belly stomach. As we enter 40s in our life, our body tolerance level has drops, we fall sick. We went into hospital and we were drip with SODIUM CHLORIDE. The liquid that supply energy to our life to sustain our life.

Notice, when we were babies, we depend on milk to get nutrient to our body, when we were small, we depend on healthy cereal drink to get energy. Then, as we grew older and wiser in our youth, we consume carbonated soft drink that is not so friendly to our health but yet it doesn't really bring drastic effect to spoilt our health. As we grew wiser again in our early adulthood, we consume alcohol to spoilt our health. As we lost our wiseness and gew older, we were admitted to hospital and take sodium chloride to sustain our life.

We only consume the liquid that is friendly to our health when we were small. But we consume liquid that damages our health when we were adult. We then, consume another liquid to rescue the damages that we have done to our health when we were old. This is a cycle, do you want to be in this alcoholic cycle loop? or perhaps you should stop damaging your health by alcohol so that you don't have to take sodium chloride when you're old?

Dare to be the different you want to see in life~!

海南岛之旅的联想。。。

上星期,我刚结束一个星期的海南岛之旅,回到檳城。。。

虽然是去整个星期,但真正去玩的也只有3-4天,其余的时间只是休息,并重新规划在这新的一年里,尤其面对经济底靡的考验,我本身以及公司的方向。

在参加当地2日游的当儿,认识了一大班的中国朋友,大家共租一个旅行团去观光。当吃晚餐时,我们大伙儿坐在同个桌子上,点了海南新鲜的海鲜。。。

就在我们等待美味海鲜送上的当儿,我们聊在一块,不分彼此,感觉好像四海之内皆兄弟。。。

可是,很快的,同桌的男生个个开始抽烟了,大家吞烟吐雾好不痛快。全桌就大概,只有我一个男生不抽烟的。惨了,我这不吸烟的人也被逼吸进大家的二手烟,搞得我必须离开桌子到外面呼吸新鲜的空气。

当菜来后,大家停止吸烟开始吃海鲜,我也进来吃了。。。就在这时,我旁边的男生给我拿了一个空杯,还充满热情帮我倒酒,他说“放心喝吧,这酒精只有40+% 很低的。。。”还没等我来得及反应,我的杯就满了。

“我的天呀,40%酒精还叫底?”我心想着,可是却又不好意思推唐,只好应酬的喝了几口。

过后,我在想:为什么中国人那么爱抽烟及喝酒?如果不抽烟喝酒是不是就叫做不赏脸?那如果是要赏脸,应酬,又不想喝酒,行吗?

想着想着,我觉得以后,我如果需要应酬中国人,我还是准备好13%酒精的红酒,反被动为主动。。。

吸烟,喝酒的男性才有性魅力?

在电影或广告中,我们常听到,或得到:“吸烟,喝酒才能展现男性魅力!”的信息。

那,到底有多真呢?

首先让我们先了解,吸烟及喝酒其实是损坏我们血管的恶习,它们会硬化我们的血管,最终导致我们中风。
然而,在性行为里,男性勃起的最主要原因是因为阴茎充血,也就是说大量的血从身体各部位通过血管送到阴茎,让它勃起。因此,我们可以很肯定的说,吸烟喝酒是性无能的主要源由

2005年,在美国Minnesota 州的一项2115名男性调查当中,发现,现在或曾经吸烟喝酒的男性其实比较倾向于性无能地步。然而现在仍然吸烟、喝酒的男性比起没有或以戒掉烟酒的男性,有多2.7倍变成性无能的可能。

在2007年,吸烟,喝酒更成为了四分之一中国男性性无能的主因。

“你想要继续吸烟,喝酒以便成为下一个性无能的人吗?若不,就悬崖勒马,回头是岸吧!”

Smoking and drugs affect sexuality~! so let's go DRUG REHABILITATION~!

From movies or advertisement, we often get the following messages:
"Smoking makes me look like man~!" "Drinking is a way to show how 'man' I am~!"
"Smoking or drinking makes me look sexy!"

How true are the above statements???

Firstly, you must understand nicotine (major content in cigarettes) and alcohol (major content in alcohol drinks) actually damages our blood vessels by either blocking it or harden it.
In order for a man to get erect sexually, blood flow is very important, hence by damages blood vessels, smoking and drinking actually slow down and blood flow and hence reduces the sexual ability of a man.

As per the survey in Minnesota, USA shows that among the 2115 man who participate in that survey, those men who smokes or drink alcohol excessively currently or before in their lives will more likely to experience erectile dysfunction than men who never smoke. Current smokers or drinkers are even worse comparing to former smoker! On their 40s current smoker or drinker are 2.7 times more likely to experience erectile dysfunction than former or non smoker / drinker.

In fact, a study in 2007 blames smoking for nearly 1/4 of erectile dysfunction problems in China.

So do you want to be the next man with no or low sexual ability? If not, the best time to quit smoking / drinking is NOW~!

吸烟,喝酒与死亡

最近我一个认识了有一段时间的媒体朋友父亲去世了,他心情非常低落。这使我想起了我妈妈,公公去世的时候。。。

我常常在想 “为什么人要死呢?如果人是注定会死,那又为什么要来到这世界上?是不是每个来到这世上的人总有一天都会因为离去而让身边的人伤心呢?若然是这样,那位什么婴儿来到世上时,那么多人高兴呢?是兴灾乐祸? 还是目光短浅?”

我打从心底不喜欢那些手不离烟酒的人,因为他们比谁都还自私,只顾自己短暂的快乐,缩短自己的性命,让爱他的人提早受苦。

我们必须知道,我们活在这世界上,是不能单独生活的。所以,我们所做的每一个大大小小地决定都会影响到我们身边的人。因此,每当有人说,“我要抽烟,喝酒,又没用到你的钱,管你屁事?”我都会觉得他们很不知所谓。如果他们中了干癌或肺癌,你说他们家人会怎样?

有些人说,“不是每个吸烟喝酒的人都会出事的,有些不抽烟喝酒也短命!”我只好说,“那是你自欺欺人的‘国阵’想法!”只因为他们都像马来西亚国阵政府一样,宁可继续自甘堕落,也不愿重视民意数据。

人不贵于无过,只贵于肯改过,回头是岸吧!

Let's stop alcohol and drugs~! go drugs rehabilitation~!

We should avoid drinking large amount of alcohol, this will hurt our liver.

When I say large amount of alcohol, it either means you're drinking a lot of low alcohol content liquor (e.g. beer, wine, etc) within short period of time or you're drinking a bottle of high alcohol contents liquor (e.g. Whisky, Martell, Rice Wine, Sake etc).

Among the low content liquor, we generally see Beer and Wine. While drinking beer occasionally may not create severe hurt to your liver, but it does create other side effects such as snoring, big stomach belly, etc.

Consuming large amount of alcohol may lead to serious health problems as the liver becomes inflamed. The symptoms of your liever being hurt by alcohol may include:- impotency in men, fatigue, no appetite, achey muscles, jaundice, vomiting of blood. Besides, it also bring a lot of side effects to hurt your health such as but not limited to:- diabetes and cancer.

Why? Some may ask. It's because alcohol depletes your body of the nutrients. The alcohol you consume may remains in your bloodstream. In some severe cases alcohol can affect the memory and lead to brain damage.

So why wait? Stop consuming excessive alcohol! If you're encountering difficulties in doing that, there are many great programs out there helping the alcohol lover to stay away from alcohol~!
