Is life is all about Facebook people?
Seriously?
I am not Facebook fan..But...I love the genius people behind Facebook. They succeed to create such a program that really can change people's life.It's a real engineering. Just look on the Facebook users now, just count how many hours you will be on Facebook everyday, and look at us now...using Facebook even to post suicide note..Seriously?
I don't know...and i will never understand, what's in it, that some people can spend so many hours with Facebook. Well, i have my Facebook account and i will check it like maybe 10 minutes per day..And i never play any of the games..err..ha ha...
Some people will 'HAVE' to update their status in Facebook every single minute..Maybe it's a second life for some people, where they can create their own 'life stories' in it. It is really strange when i come across some 'friend' Facebook status which is a total lie about their life. It's just that, me and maybe some of the people know the 'real' person is, but saw a different kind of 'updates' from the same person on Facebook..Hmmm..strange..
But i do agree to post important updates on Facebook..It saves time, give exact information and yea, FREE :).. And i agree on social networking in Facebook for self employed people like me :). Its a really good platform to announce my business and do e-PR (oh i just create this term LOL )?
Maybe like announcing your newly bought metal hole saw ? Or bragging about your annular cutter maybe? Ha ha...
Young generation especially in Malaysia, now like being educated that Internet is equal to Facebook. They only use internet for Facebook. And that's really sad, our young generation will only know Facebook? When they can do a lot of things rather than spend like 4 or 5 hours with Facebook...I don't know, it's just weird...

The Impossible people?
Most people with personality disorders have what is sometimes referred to as "disorders of the self," because they often don’t believe that there is anything wrong with them. They think, “This is me,” or “This is the way I have always been,” and self-preservation makes them want to stay that way.
Mostly you will have to agree on everything, and well eventually, you will grow tired..and tired and give up. And it will always be your fault when you try to discuss or talk about something, which you really want to scream on their face or maybe learn some martial arts and do some exercise with them!
Here are some good guide to deal with impossible people:
Understand that it's not you, it's them. This can be surprisingly difficult, considering that impossible people have complete mastery of blaming skills. If you're dealing with an impossible person, you're probably being told on a regular basis that every conceivable thing is your fault. It isn't. As the saying goes, "It takes two to tango." Chances are, the more often they blame you, the more they themselves are actually at fault. Keep in mind that this is not to be used as a way to blame them. Blaming is what impossible people do, and they do it well. Instead, you are only facing the facts, for your own sake. That being said, here's a simple way to tell: If you accept responsibility for your own faults and resolve to improve yourself, it's probably not you. Remember, impossible people can do no wrong.
Defuse them. Stay calm, and don't spit angry words at them, whatever you do don't cry - this will only stimulate them to do more of the difficult behavior. Try ignoring them. Try looking away or starting another conversation, with a totally different topic. Find something you can agree with or praise them for. Do not, under any circumstances, join them in bashing, blaming or complaining. Do not bad talk to their face or to anyone else because then you are sinking down to their level. Add something positive. Redirect by focusing on something, anything, positive in the situation or in the conversation. Whatever you do just stay calm!
Be the opposite of them: a possible person. Live as an example of tolerance, patience, humility, and even some kindness (as difficult as that may be)--because these are all the things that the impossible person is not or not very good at. We are all influenced by the people in our environment--they don't have to be perfect all the time and neither do you. Give respect because you are human. If you don't receive respect, that's -sadly- their problem. Give understanding, and you get understanding. Ultimately this sort of behavior is probably the only thing that might possibly get through to them. They may not change in everything, but you can safely expect a change.
And yea...when you really tired..and giving up...because they are IMPOSSIBLE person!!
Understand that eventually, you and the impossible person will have to part ways. Whether they are a friend, a boss, a parent, even a spouse, the time to leave will eventually manifest. Maintaining a relationship with an impossible person is, literally, impossible. If you can't (or won't) make a physical departure immediately, make a mental one. In your mind, you've already left the relationship. The only thing left to do is wait for physical reality to reflect that fact.

Okay to be gay in Malaysian films, if ..character repents
Film-makers can depict homosexuals for the first time in strictly censored Malaysia -- so long as they repent or even go straight in the end, an industry group said Monday.Strict censorship rules in the mostly Muslim country mean books and films are routinely banned or scenes deleted that are deemed detrimental to moral values or religious sensitivities.
The new censorship guidelines reverse a ban on scenes featuring homosexuality, Malaysian Film Producers' Association president Ahmad Puad Onah said. But there's a catch.
"We are now allowed to show these scenes," he told AFP. "As long as we portray good triumphing over evil and there is a lesson learnt in the film, such as from a gay (character) who turns into a (straight) man.
"Previously we are not allowed to show these at all."
The new rules, he insists, will allow greater freedom of expression for film-makers. But kissing, undressing and obscenity scenes will still be banned.
"We can do almost anything now but we are urged to give due considerations on the film's impact on certain areas like public order, religion, socio-culture elements and moral values."
It is not just homosexuality, subjects such as illegal racing can also be depicted.
A New Sunday Times report at the weekend said a local movie "V3 Road Gangster" on illegal racing was being shown in the cinemas since it satisfied the rules as the illegal racers either died or were caught by police at the end.
Another movie that has recently passed Malaysian censors was a film featured the life of a transvestite. It will be screened in May.
The Film Censorship Board could not be reached for comment.
Whats wrong for being gay? C'mon people!
I heard some bi*** word in TV2 last nite..awww..

Angry Men Get Ahead While Angry Women Penalized: Study
Published on Friday, August 3, 2007 by Reuters
Angry Men Get Ahead While Angry Women Penalized: Study
by Claudia Parsons
NEW YORK - A man who gets angry at work may well be admired for it but a woman who shows anger in the workplace is liable to be seen as “out of control” and incompetent, according to a new study presented on Friday.
What’s more, the finding may have implications for Hillary Clinton as she attempts to become the first female U.S. president, according to its author Victoria Brescoll, a post-doctoral scholar at Yale University.
Her research paper “When Can Angry Women Get Ahead?” noted that Clinton was described last year by a leading Republican as “too angry to be elected president.”
Previous research has indicated that anger can communicate that an individual feels entitled to dominate others, and therefore perhaps is. But in a paper to be delivered at a weekend conference, Brescoll said such studies focused on men.
“As Senator Clinton’s experience suggests, however, for a professional woman anger expression may lead to a decrease rather than an increase in her status,” Brescoll wrote.
She conducted three tests in which men and women recruited randomly watched videos of a job interview and were asked to rate the applicant’s status and assign them a salary.
In the first, the scripts were identical except where the candidate described feeling either angry or sad about losing an account due to a colleague’s late arrival at a meeting.
Participants conferred the most status on the man who said he was angry, the second most on the woman who said she was sad, slightly less on the man who said he was sad, and least of all by a sizable margin on the woman who said she was angry.
SALARY GAP
The average salary assigned to the angry man was almost $38,000 compared to about $23,500 for the angry woman and in the region of $30,000 for the other two candidates.
In a second experiment, the script was similar except that the job applicant also described his or her current occupation as a trainee or a senior executive.
“Participants rated the angry female CEO as significantly less competent than all of the other targets, including even the angry female trainee,” Brescoll wrote. She said they viewed angry females as significantly more “out of control.”
That impacted salaries. Unemotional women were assigned on average $55,384 compared to $32,902 for the angry ones. Male executive candidates were assigned more than trainees, regardless of anger, with an average $73,643.
A third experiment tested whether a good reason for anger made any difference. The script was changed so that some angry candidates explained that the co-worker who arrived late had lied beforehand, indicating he had directions to the meeting.
Sure enough, the angry woman with a good reason to be angry was awarded a much higher salary than the angry woman who provided no excuse, though it was still less than the men.
The study, to be presented this weekend at the annual meeting of the Academy of Management, a research and teaching organization with nearly 17,000 members, found similar attitudes to anger among male and female participants.
“It’s an attitude that is not conscious,” Brescoll said. “People are hardly aware of it.”
Brescoll said the findings revealed a “difficult paradox” for professional women — while anger can serve as a powerful tool to achieve status at work, women may have to behave calmly in order to be seen as rational.

Suicide
Suicide lad's mum breaks silence photo Kota Kinabalu: The mother of 11-year-old Donni John Duin - the SK Kinarut pupil who was found hanged from the ceiling of their house at Kg Suangon in Kinarut, Papar, on March 20 - thought he would never do so again after advising him on a previous attempt.
Hina Joloni, 37, believed the abject poverty that the family of six siblings endured proved too much to make him want to try again.
"He told me he could not take it anymore living in the conditions we were in," she said, adding that towards the end, Donni also had to endure cruel teasing at school by classmates who likened the porridge he brought from home daily to that of dog vomit.
Hina said shortly before the tragedy, he confided to her a very disturbing thing that happened in school.
"At first he asked me if I had prepared food, which would be porridge mixed with kangkung (a vegetable) that we eat everyday. "He said he did not eat the porridge that I prepared for him at school earlier because the students were making fun of the food, teasing him that it was like eating dog vomit," she said, tears welling in his eyes.
After she told him to ignore what the students said, she said Donni John, who looked depressed at the time, asked if he could borrow 20 sen to buy ice cream. "I told him I did not even have 5 sen, let alone 20 sen, to give him...I was so sad I had to tell him that," recalled Hina.
As they have been living on a fixed assistance of RM70 from the Welfare Department, she said, she could barely afford to provide any luxuries to her children, aged between five and 17. "He sighed and looked at me before asking when was my next appointment at the hospital, as I have thalassaemia and a heart condition.
"After I replied, he said sudah la kita tidak cukup makan mummy lagi balik-balik masuk hospital (we do not even have enough to eat and mummy has to be treated over and over in hospital)," she said. Hina said Donni John had previously attempted suicide the same way but that she got to him in the nick of time.
"I tried my best to control my emotions then, but being incensed and terrified at the same time, I lost it and shouted at him to get him to tell me why he would do such a thing. "My son replied there would be fewer people to feed and to take care of if he were to go and that his share of the food could be given to his brothers and sisters," she said, fighting back tears. "I know mummy has a heart condition, so if I die mummy can also take my heart," she recalled him telling her. Hina described Donni as a quiet boy, the kind of person who would only talk when someone talked to him first. She said they were fortunate to be living in the house at Kinarut, thanks to a man who she got to know in the hospital and was kind enough to let them stay for free temporarily.
"Although we have hardly any furniture and electricity, we are grateful to even have a home," she said. Hina said the family did not receive help from anyone as she did not know where to go to for help. "I am ashamed to borrow from people because I think that would burden other people...the rice that we have at home is also borrowed from my friends." Previously the family was not living in such dire straits because her husband supported them through the income he obtained from tapping rubber. "I was angry at him for getting involved in drugs so I reported him for the good of our family because I heard people doing drugs could end up doing bad things. "After
I reported him in people started talking behind my back. They said all sorts of things like 'if I could betray my husband then I would have no problem doing the same to my children' or 'there goes the drug addict's wife'," Hina said.
"That is why I decided to move from our previous place in Kg Sugut in Penampang to Kinarut...to get away from those people," she said, adding that her husband, whose sentence runs until 2016, has been in jail for about a year.
Although Donni John's death has added to Hina's burden, she is determined to keep going for the sake of her other children. She knows he would want her to do so.
"I miss him so much."

Eczema
One thing i have to understand is that "No Cure for eczema".
Preventing is the only way.
"Naturally, if your eczema is a result of a specific allergy or sensitivity, then it is wise to avoid the thing which causes it if you can. "
If you have eczema, you're probably not the only person you know who has it. Eczema isn't contagious like a cold, but most people with eczema have family members with the condition. Researchers think it's inherited or passed through the genes. In general, eczema is fairly common — approximately 1 in 10 people in the world will be affected by it at some point in their lives.
People with eczema also may have asthma and certain allergies, such as hay fever. For some, food allergies (such as allergies to cow's milk, soy, eggs, fish, or wheat) may bring on or worsen eczema. Allergies to animal dander, rough fabrics, and dust may also trigger the condition in some people.
Dealing With Eczema
There's good news if you have eczema — it usually clears up before the age of 25. Until then, you can learn to tune in to what triggers eczema and manage the condition. For example, if you have eczema and can't wear certain types of makeup, find brands that are free of fragrances and dyes. Your dermatologist may be able to recommend some brands that are less likely to irritate your skin.
Your self-esteem doesn't have to suffer just because you have eczema, and neither does your social life! Getting involved in your school and extracurricular activities can be a great way to get your mind off the itch. If certain activities aggravate your eczema, such as swimming in a heavily chlorinated pool, suggest activities to your friends that won't harm your skin.
Even if sweat tends to aggravate your skin, it's still a good idea to exercise. Exercise is a great way to blow off stress — just try walking, bike riding, or another sport that keeps your skin cool and dry while you work out.
Can you imagine living with more DONT'S than DO?

Wisdom :)
Regular naps prevent old age especially if you take them while driving
Having one child makes you a parent;
having two you are a referee.
Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is husband!
I believe we should all pay our tax with a smile. I tried - but they wanted cash. Don't feel bad. A lot of people have no talent.
Don't marry the person you want to live with, marry the one you cannotlive without,,, but whatever you do, you'll regret it later.
You can't buy love . . . but you pay heavily for it.
True friends stab you in the front.
Forgiveness is giving up my right to hate you for hurting me.
Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her or she'll take it anyway.
My wife and I always compromise. I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with me.
Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others.
Ladies first; Pretty ladies sooner.
Early to bed, early to rise, your girl goes out with other guys.
Real friends are the ones who survive transitions between address books.
Saving is the best thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.
Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something.
They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak.
Having one child makes you a parent;
having two you are a referee.

You can't buy love . . . but you pay heavily for it.
True friends stab you in the front.
Forgiveness is giving up my right to hate you for hurting me.
Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her or she'll take it anyway.
My wife and I always compromise. I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with me.
Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others.
Ladies first; Pretty ladies sooner.
Early to bed, early to rise, your girl goes out with other guys.
Real friends are the ones who survive transitions between address books.
Saving is the best thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.
Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something.
They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak.
A MUST READ
REAL INCIDENT - MICRO WAVED WATER
A 26-year old guy decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done numerous times before). I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he told me he wanted to bring the water to a boil. When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven.
As he looked into the cup, he noted that the water was not boiling, but instantly the water in the cup "blew up"into his face. The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand but all the water had flown out into his face due to the build up of energy. His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face, which may leave scarring. He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye.
While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner, something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as: a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc. It is however a much safer choice to boil the water in a teakettle.

RULE FOR MEN
There are too much do and donts for women, coming from the other gender.
Let see if they can cope wid this....:)
1. Men who do not use deodorant will be fined RM500. Body odour can cause offense to other people, of both sexes. Furthermore, some people find the musky sweaty fragrance that some men give off quite, um, arousing. Therefore this can be considered a hazard to public morality. Hence, stiff fines should be imposed to prevent any untoward incidents. Perhaps a deodorant company can be roped in to sponsor a campaign for the prevention of offensive odours.
2. Men who do not have clean fingernails will be fined RM500. Our religion exhorts us to always keep ourselves clean. Hands should always be washed especially before eating. Hence, it stands to reason that blackened fingernails imply a clear distance between soap and hands. No woman should be expected to handle anything that has been touched by any male with dirty fingernails.
3. Men must dress decently or be fined a minimum of RM500. Decently means clean clothes, pants that are not about to drop off and shoes, not slippers. We might even consider unmatched clothes and dirty sarongs as indecent. And oh yes, the Visible Panty Line rule should extend to those who insist on wearing white robes too.
4. Men who look at women up and down, up and down, regardless of how the women are dressed should be fined RM10,000 or 10 strokes of the cane. This should apply to any man, regardless of race, religion or rank.Extra fines and extra strokes should also be imposed for those who, besides leering, also make weird noises and um, ungentlemanly remarks.
5. Men with greasy hair, overlong nose and ear hairs and unkempt beards will be reprimanded for being aesthetically offensive. Perhaps a campaign sponsored by shampoo and shaving cream companies might be useful. Overlong untrimmed beards may harbour all manner of cooties, and are therefore just as unhygienic as dirty fingernails (sometimes all of these are found on the same person). Therefore these types of men can be deemed public health hazards. Women should be allowed to carry disinfecting sprays to protect themselves from such dangers.
6. Men may not wear makeup, such as black eyeliner, and overbearing fragrances, especially those meant to cover the pungency of unwashed bodies. Only the smell of soap will be tolerated.

English To Manglish?
Malaysia is a land of paradoxes. Chinese ladies in short skirts walk the streets side by side with Malay Muslims wearing the ubiquitous Islamic headscarf. To gaze on the ultra-modern Petronas Towers in downtown Kuala Lumpur, you could hardly imagine that this is the same country where sleepy fishing villages dot the coast.
When it comes to language, there are even more surprises in store.The Manglish.
Manglish grammar has its own unique set of rules. For example, the use of already, “He go home already.”
My mechanic once told me, “Your engine no good already.” Except he pronounced it, “oledi.”
Then, there is the famous “can or not?” as in, “You borrow to me five dollars, can or not?” Once in a restaurant, I ordered “a coffee and an orange juice, too.” When I was served one cup of coffee and two glasses of orange juice, I wondered what had happened. Later, I overheard how the locals ordered their drinks: “Coffee, one. Orange juice, two.”
Another important aspect of Manglish is the use of “lah.”
“Lah” does not have any actual meaning, but Malaysians like to pepper their sentences with it:
“Why you so like that, lah?”
“No lah.”
“So I told him lah that he cannot go lah.”Malaysians scored a victory a couple of years ago when “lah” was introduced into the official Oxford English Dictionary. They were slightly less happy to see that the entry listed its usage as Singaporean English.
You see, Singapore, has its own version of English, known as Singlish, which is very similar to the Malaysian variety.English is only one of the many languages that a visitor will hear in Malaysia. There is Bahasa Malaysia, also known as Bahasa Melayu or simply Bahasa, as well as a number of Chinese dialects including Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien and Teochew. You’ll also hear several Indian languages such as Tamil and Punjabi.Malaysians have a habit of mixing two or more of these languages together when they speak, sometimes even in one sentence. So, don’t be surprised if you hear sentences like these:“Aiyo, the lif is rosak already! Mari-lah, we use the stairs one.”
This translates to: “Oh no! The elevator is out of order. Come, let’s use the stairs.”English has particularly affected Bahasa Malaysia in the form of loan words.
For example, “makhlumat,” which means information, is not used often anymore. Instead, the loan word, “informasi” is gaining in popularity.
There is “bas” for bus, “rileks” or “rilek” for relax, and “restoran” for restaurant.
English loan words are especially common in technology and science. Therefore, you’ll hear the wordds “teknologi” and “sains.”
Recently, a billboard proudly described a new notebook computer as featuring “teknologi wayarles”, or wireless technology.
These loan words are very popular with the younger “generasi.”Bahasa has many different words for “I” and “you”, but speakers in the capital city, Kuala Lumpur, still find room for these English words in their speech.
In this way, “I love you” can be expressed as “I sayang you”, and one might also ask, “You sayang I?” Tourists need not worry too much, though. Although they may hear some pretty strange things while they are there, a good command of English is enough to ensure that they will not be in a situation where they are stuck with no way to communicate.
In fact, just like visitors to Jamaica, they are likely to be charmed by the unique way the language has evolved here. It is quite likely that they’ll pick up a bit of the local lingo while they are here and if they choose to stay on a little while longer, they are sure to wake up one day to find themselves speaking Manglish.English has been in Malaysia since the colonial days, although Manglish is a relatively new development.
Recently, there has been much lament in the Malaysian media about the decline in the standard of English in the country. There have been government campaigns and Science and Mathematics in schools will now be taught in English.
Although the government, unlike Singapore, has not yet taken an official stand against non-standard usage, one gets the feeling that Malaysians will not give up their Manglish that easily lah.
