Whatever you do, don’t overlook one of the most important parts of our face – our pearly whites.
Tips for oral hygiene:
Rinse your mouth after meals & brush your teeth twice a day to clean your teeth & keep your teeth fresh at all times.
Use a soft, contoured toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach places & stimulate your gums. Replace it once every 3 months so you’ll have good, clean bristles to brush with!
Floss your teeth to make sure there are no leftover bits stuck in between (this may accumulate & give you multiple problems over time)
Drink plenty of water & milk daily. Water helps to hydrate your mouth & lips while milk strengthens teeth.
Eat food & fruits rich in fibre & protein so you can massage your gums & clean your teeth while you chew. Soup, smoothies, cheese & yogurt are recommended too!
Visit the dentist for a thorough check-up once every 3 – 6 months. Don’t wait until a toothache strikes, it will definitely hurt & cost more! If you’ve got loose teeth, bad breath, red & swollen gums @ gums that bleed easily as you’re brushing, consult a dentist immediately!
Don’t chew on hard food because you’ll risk causing damage to your teeth.

Kickstart your day!
Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. It fires up your mind, body & metabolism.
Peanut butter on whole wheat toast
Easy to make & they contain protein, fibre, Vitamin B3 & E and healthy fats that will keep you satisfied until the bell rings for lunch!
Energy Bars
Energy bars @ granola can be nutritious. While some are actually more like candy bars, just make sure to watch the calories, sugar, fibre & fats.
Breakfast Cereals
Start your day with a bowl of breakfast cereal & you’re most likely to get all the nutrients you need. Opt for a whole-grain cereal rather than a refined-grain or sugary ones. They can be beaten cold & mixed with milk, yoghurt, fruit @ boiled like oatmeal.
Low-fat Yoghurt
Yoghurt is packed with protein. It helps to keep your colon healthy & strengthens the immune system!
Fresh Fruits
Fruits provide a slow release of energy to last you till lunchtime. It also has tons of vitamins & minerals. Pack them in a portable container & bring them to school/college/work. If you prefer a delicious fresh smoothie, blend it with or without yoghurt. You can even make fruit salad.
*Timesaver Tip*
Cut the fruits @ make fruit salad the night before & store in the fridge. That way, you don’t have to rush in the morning! If you’re on the run, grab a banana. It boosts energy & is low in calories.

reminiscence
It has been a week since my mid-term break. It was fun with all the intend & unintended activities. Mostly it was an arrange goings-on but when we went to some place, our plan likes to change its course.
Nevertheless, all went well. Be it with family or friends. I ate yummy foods at home. The special fillings curry puff. Do-it-yourself porridge. Homemade barley drinks [thanks to my sis who is not feeling well at that time, I got to eat such food. Luckily the foodstuff became appetizing]. Enough said, all superb delicious & satisfy my taste buds. Syukur Alhamdulillah!
Though my intention during the holidays is to revise & do exercises, I didn’t do it at all! Even if I did, it was when I’m searching for the appropriate questions for HR case study. Sadly say, I always cannot concentrate when I’m at home. Moreover, there’s TV & computer that forever will attract my attraction. It is my biggest imperfection. But whoever can resist such attraction if you’re stuck in a student life..?
For the interview, we all dressed up like normal workers do. Just to give the good impression during the task. We didn’t make any appointment – which is a big mistake! So, we tried calling several companies & ask how the procedure is regarding our research. We have the approval letter from our university but the companies require another letter which included the questionnaires needed for the research. Lessons learned, so we did another letter & fax it to the respective companies. Until now, we haven’t got any reply. The report is due on 1st April. We only have to pray for the response. Tired of waitnig, we form a backup plan. We went to steel manufacture factory. Gladly, we receive full commitment from the human resource manager. She gave very detailed information & even treats us with superior hospitality. Now, our problems kinda slove about 30%. All is left is to complete & submit the report...

holiday!
yes! it's finally here! though it's gonna be for 1week only..yet i cannot spend it with joyfullness all the time. have to start on research for human resource (HR). meaning my group have to gather appropriate info about certain company. gonna interview few peeps at HR department. please let the process be smooth. to those involve, do cooperate.
next on schedule is i have to revise n do exercise more for the upcoming quiz & test. lots of info to memorize. i think i'm okay with calculation. i have to do lots of past year questions. b4 this i rarely care about test but now i realize my carry marks have to be good if i want flying colours for my 5th semester. so i have to start with excelling in quiz n test.
while on my short holiday, i have to update myself with the latest news. could be on any topic. current news would be more precise. be it on current issues or food or even politics. it's not that i don't have the link to news exposure if i'm at college. but the distance n the works seems to be in the way..but then again. it's all can be done if i put more effort to it.
while i have the chance, i want to update on issues that are related to my subjects. public relations always in need for current issues. as for investment, it's enough if i know the situation of the current market.
not forgetting to update about football & music & tv! it's been awhile since i keep track with english premier league..happily to say that my team are able to work their ass out! even if they tied or loss, their winning strike is what matters the most *go red devils*

Quote from Certain Perspectives
"There is nothing more deceptive than a smile. And no one knows this better than the people who hide behind them. Some flash their teeth as a polite warning to their enemies. Some put on baby faces to keep their tears from falling. Others wear silly grin to mask their fear. But then there is that rare smile that’s actually genuine. It’s the smile of a person who knows his troubles will soon be over"
"All children love to play games. But b4 they can ride their bikes or jump their ropes or toss their Frisbee, children understand they must 1st convince their friends to play along with them. The same is true for adults"
"Pests. They come in all shapes & sizes. And disrupt our lives in a variety of ways. At first their merely annoying. And we do our best to ignore them. But if we don’t take them seriously, they can become quite dangerous. For some, death seems to be the easiest solution. But the problem with pests is what they live behind are just as dangerous"

reminder 4 myself
i spend my weekend evening watching and playing games. 1st day i just chill back as an audience. i'm feeling that my bones aren’t that strong as usual. lately i feel discomfort of my own body. i can "crack" my bones more often. hmm..kinda worried if it's the early sign of osteoporosis..imagine getting it at a young age.nauzubillah! luckily yesterday a friend bought me a packet of fresh milk. hope it can help...
2nd day after being forced and persuaded by my friends, i granted their wish n play netball. though i'm not good at it.. so I played by my rules =p lots of incident happen while i played. okay, here goes mix languages again..! TERtampar the face of the opponents..my sandals TERcabut one side..last but not least TERjadi adorable or comel while playing..hahahaha!!! this is all from the point of view of the audience..semua kes TER lah..btw, TER means accidentally..
next day after waking up late, i felt as if my whole body has just been beaten up! thinking it was because I didn't sleep in the right position..but suddenly i remembered..b4 the games I didn't exercise or do some stretching! serves me right! this is what happen if you seldom or don't work out...

the rest is history
Last couple days there were some people starts to bother me. Actually it involves all the peeps in my course group. Here’s the story. I’m gonna use mix languages or rojak words as some people call it..since this matters really does bugs me!
The ever-so-called gedix couple create a new group in Friendster. Their objective is for us to keep in touch & make a reunion..sounds superb at first. But then they come up with a poll & discussions with unpleasant title. The poll which originally name “sape yg korang kureng suka” was changed to “speedometer”...this is more like to pecah belahkan the group! After getting ambush with words, they changed the name to slightly a better one. Haahh, whatever!! That doesn’t change a thing! The poll only last 4 one week. 2 of my close friends were in the top list. They used harsh words when someone replies to the poll. And keep saying to us be professional but are they?? NO of course! To quote what they said:
“Undian itu bukan bertujuan untuk mengaibkan sesiapa..”
“bahagia tu satu perkara yang subjektif..ader org bahagia dgn cara yang tersendiri. Ader orang awek mcm bohsia tp bg die itulah bahagia..ader orang plak pakwe mcm mat gian..tapi itu lah bahagia tuk diorang..tapi hakikatnya bahagia xbleh di cari tapi hanya bleh di cipta”
And then there’s this sentence:"SBB X SUME LAKI TPIKAT KT PMPUAN MURAH!! LEN LA LAKI2 KABARET YG SLALU KORG ANGKUT”
Is this the be professional words should be like?? Those who reply used only proper words but they get negatives response...Are they that desperate to get our attention??!!
To those yg TERmakan kata2 pujuk si moderator, please re-think..if there is some problem or nk kasi teguran & nasihat membina, do tell it straight to our face! Humans do not like to be criticize but there is a way to do it..don’t simply ambush with words..use appropriate words & try to solve n not amplify it..
Couldn’t they create a better topic? It’s not like they’re dumb or whatever! The guy is soo mature but it doesn’t seem he's using his brain! The girl is in early 20s [the same age as i am!] but for god sake we’re in university..Grow up please!

while waiting to check what type of blood & blood pressure, there were some donators' fainted..must've been they didn't get much rest..same 'ol thing going on..
it was my turn to check blood type. though i already know, but it just the procedure we all have 2 follow..then the person in charge told me i cannot donate! i was like..frustrated of course! seems my HB(hemogoblin) is not enough..the required is 12.5 but mine was 12.3.. just a tiny diff! makes me more disappointed...well, it's not my luck to donate this time. i chill back n watched my friends do their part. i'm the photographer of the day!
