Here i want to share about the most dangerous computer virus in the world.
"Email-Worm.Win32.NetSky.q", as it has been dubbed by Kaspersky experts, is the most widely spread threat out there in the month of September too. 25.22 percent of virus infections had NetSky.q written all over them. However, there are more types of Netsky - there is also the .aa version, as well as .t, .b, .x and others. Just take a look at this chart and see how viruses ranked in September.
For those of you that have no idea what NetSky is and what it does, allow me to explain it to you. It's a family of computer worms that spreads like crazy. And it is so popular because it removes other viruses, so once you've got it on your machine, you won't have any trouble with Bagle and MyDoom. That's why it's more prolific than other viruses. It popped up at the beginning of 2004 and is authored by the same guy that wrote the code for the infamous Sasser virus.
So, what else does it do besides making sure the machine is all his? Well, it will "read" your e-mail contact list and send messages with an attachment to all your contacts. Of course, the attachments are infected with NetSky and once the user downloads them, it will also get the virus. So, yes, it's mail spread. This is just another reason why people are advised not to click on links in spam e-mails and to be careful when downloading attachments, because, not only could one get a virus on his/her machine, but he or she will also send it (involuntarily, of course) to friends and other contacts.
Here i want to share with you about the tallest and the shortest living man in the world.
Tallest Man: Leonid Ivanovych Stadnyk born 1971 in Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine, is a man who is formerly listed as the world's tallest living man according to Guinness World Records 2008. On August 20, 2008, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, Craig Glenday, announced that the title of world's tallest man returned to China's Bao Xishun after Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk refused to be measured under new guidelines, which required him to be independently measured by Guinness World Records adjudicators.
On August 8, 2007, Guinness book's spokeswoman Amarilis Espinoza stated that in the 2008 edition of the record book, Mr Stadnyk at 2.57m (8 ft 5.2 in), appeared to be taller than Bao Xishun, a native of Inner Mongolia in China who stands 2.36 m (7 ft 8.9 in). However, Stadnyk refused to be measured and was consequently denied the GWR recognition. Others have questioned the legitimacy of the record, noting that Stadnyk has never been officially measured by Guinness World Records, only by the "Ukrainian Book of Records" that certificates that he measure 2.53m, and that the doctor originally credited by Guinness with confirming Stadnyk's height has denied ever measuring him.
Leonid Stadnyk's excessive growth began after brain surgery when he was 14 years old. He developed a pituitary gland tumor which caused the gland to secrete large amounts of growth hormone, resulting in what doctors describe as acromegalic gigantism. Twenty years after the surgery, the doctors have discovered the tumour had mysteriously disappeared and he is currently healthy. A Pravda news report in Spring 2006 reported that Leonid Stadnyk grew 2 cm (0.79 in) in the previous year, not accounting the time between the original Spring 2004 report and Spring 2005. According to Pravda, his health is slowly failing in that he needs to hold on to limbs of trees and the side of his house to walk about.
He is a certified veterinarian and veterinary surgeon and lives with his mother in the village of Podolyantsi, Ukraine.
Shortest Man: He Pingping born July 1988 is a Chinese man who has been officially named by the Guinness World Records as the world's shortest man who is able to walk.
The 20-year-old measures 73 cm (2 ft 5 in) tall, and is the third child of a family in Huade county, in the city of Wulanchabu in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. He has two sisters, both of whom developed at normal rates and are now married. According to his father, He Yun, at birth he was as small as a palm. When it became apparent the child was growing very slowly, doctors diagnosed the cause as the bone deformity Osteogenesis imperfecta, which hinders normal bone growth and bodily height.
In January 2007, He was invited to take part on a television program in Tokyo, Japan and has since then become an Internet icon. Interestingly, his home of Inner Mongolia is also home to Bao Xishun, who at 2.36 metres tall is currently recognized as the world's tallest man by Guinness, and their televised meeting in July 2007 attracted global media attention.[citation needed] In May 2008 he appeared in the British Channel 4 documentary called "The World's Smallest Man and Me" hosted by Mark Dolan. In September 2008 he appeared with the world's longest-legged woman, Svetlana Pankratova, in London's Trafalgar Square, to publicize the release of the 2009 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.
Since his January 2007 appearance on television, His status as the world's shortest man has been verified by Guinness World Records. His height was measured three times over the course of 10 hours before he received a certificate officially naming him as the world’s shortest living man.
In 2006 Guinness World Records disallowed an application from a then fourteen-year-old Nepalese boy, Khagendra Thapa Magar, who measures 53 cm but will review the case when he is 18 years old. A Jordanian man who claims to be the world's shortest man, Younis Edwan, has not been measured.
A sports car is a term used to describe a class of automobile. The exact definition varies, but generally it is used to refer to a low to ground, light weight vehicle with a powerful engine. Most vehicles referred to as sports cars are rear-wheel drive, have two seats, two doors, and are designed for more precise handling, acceleration, and aesthetics. A sports car's dominant considerations can be superior road handling, braking, maneuverability, low weight, and high power, rather than passenger space, comfort, and fuel economy.
Sports cars can be either luxurious or spartan, but driving mechanical performance is the key attraction. Many drivers regard brand name and the subsequent racing reputation and history as important indications of sporting quality (for example, Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus), but some brands, such as Lamborghini, which do not race or build racing cars, are also highly regarded.
A car may be a sporting automobile without being a sports car. Performance modifications of regular, production cars, such as sport compacts, sports sedans, muscle cars, hot hatches and the like, generally are not considered sports cars, yet share traits common to sports cars. They are sometimes called "sports cars" for marketing purposes for increased advertising and promotional purposes. Performance cars of all configurations are grouped as Sports and Grand tourer cars, or, occasionally, as performance cars.
Classic car is a term frequently used to describe an older car, but the exact meaning is subject to differences in opinion. Some are very inclusive,considering any older car in fine condition a classic. Generally, a Classic was high-priced when new and was built in limited quantities. Other factors, including engine displacement, custom coachwork and luxury accessories, such as power brakes, power clutch, and "one-shot" or automatic lubrication systems, help determine whether a car is considered to be a Classic.
Assalamualaikum.... Today, I want to share with you some fact about pride building of our country..The Petronas Twin Towers.
Actually, the twin tower was built by different company.The Tower 1 was built by Hazama Corporation and Tower 2 by Samsung Engineering & Construction and Kukdong Engineering & Construction and both company that built Tower 2 is from South Korea. This towers is the world's tallest buildings, before being surpassed by the Taipei 101.They were the world's tallest buildings from 1998 to 2004 if measured from the level of the main entrance to the structural top. The Petronas Twin Towers are preceded by Sears Tower but was surpassed by the Taipei 101.The twin towers have 451.9 meters or 1,482.6 feets of antenna/spire height, 378.6 meters or 1,242.1 feets of roof height and 375.0 meters or 1,230.3 feets of top floor height.With 88 floors, the count of floor in this twin towers actually less than floor count of Sears Towers and the World Trade Center towers that were each constructed with 110 occupied floors.
I would like to share an article that I have read that about greenhouse effect..
The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases. As energy from the Sun passes through the atmosphere a number of things take place. A portion of the energy is reflected back to space by clouds and other atmospheric particles. About 19% of the energy available is absorbed by clouds, gases (like ozone), and particles in the atmosphere. Of the remaining 55% of the solar energy passing through the Earth's atmosphere, 4% is reflected from the surface back to space. On average, about 51% of the Sun's radiation reaches the surface. This energy is then used in a number of processes, including the heating of the ground surface; the melting of ice and snow and the evaporation of water; and plant photosynthesis.
In summary, the greenhouse effect causes the atmosphere to trap more heat energy at the Earth's surface and within the atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting longwave energy. Of the longwave energy emitted back to space, 90% is intercepted and absorbed by greenhouse gases. Without the greenhouse effect the Earth's average global temperature would be -18° Celsius, rather than the present 15° Celsius. In the last few centuries, the activities of humans have directly or indirectly caused the concentration of the major greenhouse gases to increase. Scientists predict that this increase may enhance the greenhouse effect making the planet warmer. Some experts estimate that the Earth's average global temperature has already increased by 0.3 to 0.6° Celsius, since the beginning of this century, because of this enhancement. Predictions of future climates indicate that by the middle of the next century the Earth's global temperature may be 1 to 3° Celsius higher than today.

Assalamualaikum... "Google", one name that is synonym with us as a internet user.I ever read about google and today I will tell you again what is Google actually.
Google Inc. is an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search, e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing services as well as selling advertising-free versions of the same technologies. The Google headquarters, the Googleplex, is located in Mountain View, California. As of 30 September 2008 the company has 20,123 full-time employees. Google was co-founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were students at Stanford University and the company was first incorporated as a privately held company on 4 September 1998. The initial public offering took place on 19 August 2004, raising US$1.67 billion, making it worth US$23 billion. Google has continued its growth through a series of new product developments, acquisitions, and partnerships. Environmentalism, philanthropy, and positive employee relations have been important tenets during the growth of Google, the latter resulting in being identified multiple times as Fortune Magazine's #1 Best Place to Work. The unofficial company slogan is "Don't be evil", although criticism of Google includes concerns regarding the privacy of personal information, copyright, censorship and discontinuation of services.
Assalamualaikum to teacher and my fellow friends.Recently,I have been read an article about the sushi.Some people dislike sushi,but not me.I like sushi very much.Now I want to tell you about the history of sushi. Sushi originally began as the preservation of food, somewhere around inland China, in 4th century BC. Fish was salted then wrapped in fermented rice; it became a great source of protein. The original type of sushi was nare-sushi. Nare-sushi was gutted fish stored in fermented rice for preservation. Nare-sushi was stored for fermentation for a few months then removed. The fermented rice was discarded and the fish was the only part consumed.
It began to expand throughout China, and sometime around the 8th century AD it reached Japan. The Japanese preferred to eat fish with rice, this caused the creation of seisei-sushi. During the Muromachi period seisei-sushi was the most popular type of sushi. Seisei-sushi was partly raw fish wrapped in rice, before it lost its flavor. This new way of consuming sushi was no longer a form of preservation but rather a cuisine.
During the Edo era or the early modern period of Japan, a third type of sushi was introduced, haya-sushi. Haya-sushi was created so that both rice and fish could be consumed at the same time, the dish became unique to the Japanese culture. It was the first time that rice was not being used for fermentation. Rice was mixed with vinegar and fish as usual but then vegetables and dried preserved foods would be added as well. This type of sushi is still very popular today. Each region utilizes local flavors to produce many kinds of sushi that has been passed down for many generations.
When Tokyo was still being called Edo, at the beginning of the 19th century, mobile food stalls became the food services dominated industry. During this period nigiri-sushi was introduced. Nigiri-sushi is the most common type of sushi in restaurants. It is an oblong mound of rice with a slice of fish draped over it. After the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923, nigiri-sushi chefs lost their jobs and spread throughout Japan spreading it with them.
Today's dish internationally known as "sushi" (nigirizushi; Kantō variety) is a fast food invented by Hanaya Yohei (華屋与兵衛; 1799 - 1858) at the end of Edo period in today's Tokyo (Edo). People in Tokyo were living in haste even over one hundred years ago. The nigirizushi invented by Hanaya was not fermented and could be eaten by hands (or using chopsticks). It was an early form of fast food that could be eaten at a road side or in a theater.
ladies and gentlemen,before i share this topic i advise you all better not chewing anything food,especially biscuit!!
So,do you all familiar with oreo biscuits?Like it very much??Like shown in the advertisement,"TWIST IT,LIK IT,DUMP IT AND YOU EAT IT"??
This is get to know from friend of my friend(her identity is a secret).
Her roommate just bought OREO biscuit with chocolate taste from 7-11, before she bite it, she saw something strange in the middle cream, got many small holes with white color , she thought it's impossible that OREO got new product with new taste? Is it the sugar? But how come it's looked like this?
Then she checked the box,it`s correct, chocolate taste, not white chocolate and there's no fruit added in it.Expired? Still long time and the pack still very good.
Here comes the climax,she thought Is it possible, the look is awful but actually the taste is yummy? Finally she opened the biscuit.
hard to explain from words,its full of white small holes, look like the spoiled eggs as maggot's nest, so disgusting....luckily her friend's eyesight is sharp,what if she has bite it?
Although at last they got their money return from the 7-11 shop,but the staff`s excuss still haunting me until now,he said "the goods are import product, probably there's problem during the process of shipment" The main point is there are still many boxes of these biscuits on the racks.Wonder when they will wipe out those goods from their racks.
Hope after this you will have a second thought whenever you want to eat oreo biscuits.
Assalamualaikum and good day to all my friends and to our beloved teacher, Mdm Noli Maishara..
I just want to share something here.. i have read about a news where this people was caught just because he steal 2 bottles of listerene and some more things value under RM40... can you think why still have people like this even we are now in globalization era.... i wonder why they do this thing... this is because the person who did it is a guard.. so he is working! he must have some money to buy this stuff... even we are now in globalization era and almost Malaysians are in average economic level, there are still have this kind of peoples.. ....
Assalamualaikum and good day to all my friends and to our beloved teacher, Mdm Noli Maishara..
I think everyone have an experience about not enough sleep and sleep very late... Recently, I was interested to read about this article at the internet.Here, I want to share to all of you about this article.
10 Reasons Not to Skimp on Sleep:-
1) Less may mean more. For people who sleep under seven hours a night, the fewer zzzz's they get, the more obese they tend to be, according to a 2006 Institute of Medicine report. This may relate to the discovery that insufficient sleep appears to tip hunger hormones out of whack. Leptin, which suppresses appetite, is lowered; ghrelin, which stimulates appetite, gets a boost.
2) You're more apt to make bad food choices. A study published this week in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that people with obstructive sleep apnea or other severely disordered breathing while asleep ate a diet higher in cholesterol, protein, total fat, and total saturated fat. Women were especially affected.
3) Diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance, its precursor, may become more likely. A 2005 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people getting five or fewer hours of sleep each night were 2.5 times more likely to be diabetic, while those with six hours or fewer were 1.7 times more likely.
4) The ticker is put at risk. A 2003 study found that heart attacks were 45 percent more likely in women who slept for five or fewer hours per night than in those who got more.
5) Blood pressure may increase. Obstructive sleep apnea, for example, has been associated with chronically elevated daytime blood pressure, and the more severe the disorder, the more significant the hypertension, suggests the 2006 IOM report. Obesity plays a role in both disorders, so losing weight can ease associated health risks.
6) Auto accidents rise. As stated in a 2007 report in the New England Journal of Medicine, nearly 20 percent of serious car crash injuries involve a sleepy driver—and that's independent of alcohol use.
7) Balance is off. Older folks who have trouble getting to sleep, who wake up at night, or are drowsy during the day could be 2 to 4.5 times more likely to sustain a fall, found a 2007 study in the Journal of Gerontology.
8) You may be more prone to depression. Adults who chronically operate on fumes report more mental distress, depression, and alcohol use. Adolescents suffer, too: One survey of high school students found similarly high rates of these issues. Middle schoolers, too, report more symptoms of depression and lower self-esteem.
9) Kids may suffer more behavior problems. Research from an April issue of the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine found that children who are plagued by insomnia, short duration of sleeping, or disordered breathing with obesity, for example, are more likely to have behavioral issues like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
10) Death's doorstep may be nearer. Those who get five hours or less per night have approximately 15 percent greater risk of dying—regardless of the cause—according to three large population-based studies published in the journals Sleep and the Archives of General Psychiatry.
I'am among of this.I realised that I'am in dangerous if I continue to have insufficient sleep.Therefore, I want to change my habit to get better health.
Assalamualaikum and good day to all my friends and to our beloved teacher, Mdm Noli Maishara..
5 myths of BLOOD DONATION.
myth #1:donating blood hurts a lot fact :it definitely hurts, but it hurt far less compared to getting a piercing and it only hurts for a little while.
myth #2:i'm too young to donate fact:as long as you're 18 and above, you're never too young!
myth #3:i don't have enough blood to donate fact:you're only donating one pint of blood, not an armful! futher more your body replaces the amount taken in a short period of time. don't worry!
myth#4:we can only donate blood once a year fact:blood donation can be done every two month
myth#5:i don't have have time to donate fact:it only takes an hour or so for each donation. imagine this, for your one hour spent donating blood, you could save up to three lives!
before i read this article, as an ordinary girl, im scare to donate my blood.but then, now i got the knowledge from this article and realise that i have to donate my blood.same goes to you!because,,,,there always a shortage of blood in hospitals.
I have watched a 2005 Japanese series entitled “Tiger & Dragon” recently. I am not going to tell you briefly what the comedy series is all about, but I am going to tell you something about Rakugo. What is Rakugo? What is it has something to do with “Tiger & Dragon”? Well, if you have watched the comedy series, you will know what Rakugo is. In this comedy series, it tells us about the world of Rakugo. Here is the link about an online article I read recently about Rakugo - Click Here . Rakugo is a Japanese verbal entertainment where storyteller sits on the stage, using only a paper fan and a small cloth as props, and without standing up from the sitting position, depicts a long and complicated comical story. The story always involves the dialogue of two or more characters, the difference between the characters depicted only through change in pitch, tone, and a slight turn of the head. It is always been the same story every now and then, the classics and the modern. Did the audience get bored? Not necessarily. Although the storytellers tell the same stories, they tell them in a different, funny kind of ways. The hall would always filled with laughter and claps from the audience. These are some of the famous classic story of Rakugo:
1. Jugemu 2. The Cat’s Plate 3. Shibahama 4. Manjuu Kowai (I’m Afraid Of Manju) 5. Taiga to Doragon (Tiger & Dragon)
From what I have watch in the drama series, Jugemu is the story about naming the new-born child, while The Cat’s Plate is about feeding the cat using an expensive plate. Manjuu Kowai is about a person who tells people what he is afraid of but in the end, he is rather loves what people thought he was afraid of.
Above all, I like Shibahama the most. It is about a husband who stays at home all day long drinking Sake, a kind of Japanese wine. One day, his wife asked him to go out to fish. Instead of bringing home fishes, he brought back a wallet. His wife thought that he stole it from someone, but he convinced her that he found it when he was washing his face at the beach. He is indeed very happy and decided to pay off their debts using the money from the wallet he got earlier. Later, he went off to sleep. After he woke up, he asked his wife about the wallet, but unfortunately his wife doesn’t know anything about it. His wife convinced him that he might be dreaming about the wallet and the money inside it. Soon after, he realizes that the Sake he drank each and every day has made him thinking about things that was never happen. Therefore, he decided to never drink Sake ever again. During the New Years Eve, his wife gave him something he is familiar with. It is the wallet he thought he had dreamt of. His wife finally admitted that she had hid the wallet and he was actually not dreaming of it. Later, he cries, and praised his wife for being very noble. They can now celebrate a free-debt new year.
However, the classic story can always be changed to suits with today’s world and therefore it became the modern story of Rakugo. These stories not only entertain people on their jokes, but also the moral values within it.
http://fadzrulhisyam.blogspot.com/2008/10/bezanya-darah-bukan-penghalang-kasih.html I have read a blog posted by one of my friends I met in college, Fadzrul. Click here to read the blog. This blog is entitled “Bezanya darah bukan penghalang kasih”. It is his true story about his new family member, Sofia Allisya, a 2-month-old adopted child. His elder sister and her husband adopted Sofia not long ago. When Sofia is 5 months old, his sister’s maid had to go back to Indonesia, and therefore Sofia had to be taken care by both of his parents since his sister had her husband were busy with their work. However, reading his blog makes me moved. I was touched. Both of his parents took care of Sofia like their own granddaughter. From that experience, it questioned him. If there is too much love for that adopted child, then there should be more of that love to their children, including Fadzrul himself. In his blog he even includes the prayer for his parents and for every parents in this world. There is too much love for us child of our own parents. We should never ever disregard our parents, even how much you hated them for caning you when you have done something wrong. It is indeed for our own sake.
This time i`m going to share something about cold and flu.
For your information,i`m always get troubled with this kind of problem.Seriously,i`m hate sneezing!!
So,i found this article very useful and i`m going to share with you all.
Obviously we will ask "What's the best way to stay disease-free?
Prevent infections from happening in the first place. You can prevent infection through simple tactics such as regular hand washing, vaccinations and appropriate medications.
Hand washing We often overlooked this,actually hand washing is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect yourself from germs and most infections. Wash your hands thoroughly before preparing or eating food, after coughing or sneezing, after changing a diaper and after using the toilet. When soap and water aren't readily available, alcohol-based hand-sanitizing gels can offer protection.
Vaccines Vaccination is your best line of defense for certain diseases. As researchers understand more about what causes disease, the list of vaccine-preventable diseases continues to grow. Many vaccines are given in childhood, but adults still need to be routinely vaccinated to prevent some illnesses, such as tetanus and influenza.
Medicines Some medicines can help you from becoming susceptible to germs. For example, taking an anti-parasitic medication might protect you from contracting malaria if you travel to or live in an area where your risk is high. Or when you are at high risk of exposure to certain organisms — such as those that cause bacterial meningitis — your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to lower your risk of infection. Using over-the-counter antibiotic creams can decrease the chance of infection of minor cuts and scrapes. But long-term, indiscriminate use of antibiotics isn't recommended in most cases. It won't prevent bacterial infections and instead may result in a more resistant, harder-to-treat strain of bacteria when infections do occur.
Hopefully,by having a guide here,we could make it the least chance to got troubled with cold/flu problem again.
I just wat to share some information about confectionery food.
Some of the categories and types of confectionery include the following:
Hard sweets: Based on sugars cooked to the hard-crack stage, including suckers (known as boiled sweets in British English), lollipops, jawbreakers (or gobstoppers), lemon drops, peppermint drops and disks, candy canes, rock candy, etc. These also include types often mixed with nuts such as brittle. Others contain flavorings including coffee such as Kopiko. Fudge: A confection of milk and sugar boiled to the soft-ball stage. In the US, it tends to be chocolate-flavored. Toffee (or Taffy or Tuffy): Based on sugars cooked to the soft-ball stage and then pulled to create an elastic texture. In British English, toffee can also refer to a harder substance also made from cooked sugars which resembles toffee. Swiss Milk Tablet. A crumbly milk-based soft candy, based on sugars cooked to the soft-ball stage. Comes in several forms, such as wafers and heart shapes. Liquorice: Containing extract of the liquorice root. Chewier and more resilient than gum/gelatin candies, but still designed for swallowing. For example, Liquorice allsorts. Has a similar taste to Star Anise.
A chocolate.Chocolates: Used in the plural, usually referring to small balled centers covered with chocolate to create bite-sized confectionery. People who create chocolates are called chocolatiers, and they create their confections with couverture chocolate. A chocolate maker, on the other hand, is the person who physically creates the couverture from cacao beans and other ingredients. Jelly candies: Including those based on sugar and starch, pectin, gum, or gelatin such as Lokum / Turkish Delight, jelly beans, gumdrops, jujubes, cola bottles gummies, etc. Marshmallow: "Peeps" (a trade name), circus peanuts, fluffy puff, etc. Marzipan: An almond-based confection, doughy in consistency, served in several different ways. It is often formed into shapes mimicking (for example) fruits or animals. Alternatively, marzipan may be flavoured, normally with spirits such as Kirsch or Rum, and divided into small bite-sized pieces; these flavoured marzipans are generally served coated in chocolate to prevent the alcohol from evaporating, and are very common in northern Europe. Marzipan is also used in cake decoration. Its lower-priced version is called Persipan. Divinity: A nougat-like confectionery based on egg whites with chopped nuts.
Assalamualaikum and good day to Madam Noli and fellow my friends,
Right now,I am going to share my reading about the cake.
Cake is a form of food that is usually sweet and often baked. Cakes normally combine some kind of flour, a sweetening agent (commonly sugar), a binding agent (generally egg, though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), fats (usually butter, shortening, or margarine, although a fruit purée such as applesauce is sometimes substituted to avoid using fat), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavors and some form of leavening agent (such as yeast or baking powder), though many cakes lack these ingredients and instead rely on air bubbles in the dough to expand and cause the cake to rise. Cake is often frosted with buttercream or marzipan, and finished with piped borders and crystallized fruit. Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. There are literally millions of cake recipes (some are bread-like and some rich and elaborate) and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake.
Now, I want to share some motivated story with you guys... actually I bet all of you know this story,because we have heard it since we were kid..well, it is about THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE..
once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster. they decided to settle the argument with a race.they agreed on a route and started off the race. the hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time.then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race.. he sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. the tortoise plodding on the overtook him and son finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ. the hare woke up and realize that he'd lost the race.
well, do know what is the moral of the story? erm, the moral is,SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE..... hahahaha....
before this i wrote a story of HE TORTOISE AND THE HARE..now, i would like to continue the story..
the hare was disappointed at loosing the race and he did some soul-searching. he realized that he'd lost the race only because he had been overconfident, careless and lax. if he had not taken things for granted, there's no way the tortoise could have beaten him. so, he challenged the tortoise to another race. the tortoise agreed. this time, the are went all out and ran without stopping from start to finish. he won by several miles...
well, and again do you what is the moral of the story?? nope, you're wrong.. the moral of the story is "fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady". if you have 2 people in your organization, one slow, methodical and reliable, and the other is fast and still reliable at what he does, the faster and reliable chap will consistently climb the organization ladder than the slow, methodical chap. IT''S GOOD TO BE SLOW AND STEADY; BUT IT'S BETTER FAST AND RELIABLE..
Assalamualaikum..I have read an article in Yahoo.com about Apple new notebook called 'MacBook' and 'Macbook Pro'.
The notebook comes with a new, black keyboard, a glass-coated display surrounded by a glossy black frame, and the new, larger glass trackpad—all packed into a slimmer, 0.95-inch casing. The new Apple notebook use new 15.4-inch LED display.
Furthermore, the notebook use Nvidia's new 9400M integrated graphics chip, a GPU-plus-chipset which will deliver five times the performance of the integrated Intel graphics on previous MacBooks. Even better, the MacBook Pros will ship with both the 9400M and Nvidia's 9600M GT dedicated graphics chip, for a "turbo" graphics mode.
This notebook can help us in doing the work..It also can make our work done well..
Hello..today i would like to talk about the rainbow.. As we know rainbows can be observed whenever there are water drops in the air and sunlight shining from behind a person at a low altitude angle (on the ground). The most spectacular rainbow displays happen when half of the sky is still dark with draining clouds and the observer is at a spot with clear sky in the direction of the Sun. The result is a luminous rainbow that contrasts with the darkened background.
For your information the rainbow effect is also commonly seen near waterfalls or fountains. Rainbow fringes can sometimes be seen at the edges of backlit clouds and as vertical bands in distant rain or virga. The effect can also be artificially created by dispersing water droplets into the air during a sunny day. Rarely, a moonbow, lunar rainbow or night-time rainbow, can be seen on strongly moonlit nights. As human visual perception for colour is poor in low light, moonbows are often perceived to be white.
It is difficult to photograph the complete arc of a rainbow, as this would require an angle of view of 84°. For a 35 mm camera, a lens with a focal length of 19 mm or less wide-angle lens would be required. From an aeroplane, one has the opportunity to see the whole circle of the rainbow, with the plane's shadow in the centre. This phenomenon can be confused with the glory, but a glory is usually much smaller, covering only 5°–20°. That is all from me about the rainbow..thank you..
Good day, Here is something on what i just read. It is about emotion. I'm everyone has emotions and their own unique way to express it.
An emotion is a term for a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behavior. Emotions are subjective experiences, or experienced from a individual point of view. Emotion is often associated with mood, temperament, personality, and disposition. For example: confused, excited, guilty, anxious, angry, sad, confident, embarrassed, happy, disgusted, frightened, cautious, smug, lonely, lovestruck, joy, jealous, surprised, shy, apathetic, powerful, unfair, pleasure, and euphoric.
The English word 'emotion' is derived from the French émotion and émouvoir. This is based on the Latin emovere, where e- (variant of ex-) means 'out' and movere means 'move'.The related term "motivation" is also derived from movere. Emotions can be divided between 'cognitive' theories of emotions and 'non-cognitive' theories of emotions; or instinctual emotions (from the amgdala), and cognitive emotions (from the prefrontal cortex). Some psychologists divide emotions into basic and complex categories, where base emotions lead to more complex ones. Emotions can be categorized by its duration. Some emotions occur over a period of seconds (e.g. surprise) where others can last years (e.g. love). No definitive taxonomy exists.
A related distinction is between the emotion and the results of the emotion, principally behaviours and emotional expressions. People often behave in certain ways as a direct result of their emotional state, such as crying, fighting or fleeing. Yet again, if one can have the emotion without the corresponding behaviour then we may consider the behaviour not to be essential to the emotion. However some theorists such as the Dutch psychologist Nico Frijda hold a functionalist approach to emotions. Frijda argues that emotions have evolved for a particular function, such as to keep the subject safe. If the behaviours associated with an emotion are the determining factor for the very existence of that emotion then goal-directed behaviour should be regarded as essential to the emotion. Yet since we recognise that the behaviour need not necessarily occur, we can stipulate that emotions involve what are called 'action tendencies'. So for instance, fear involves the tendency to flee, which means that the probability that the subject will flee from a given situation is increased when he is undergoing fear.

Here i want to share about the most dangerous computer virus in the world.
"Email-Worm.Win32.NetSky.q", as it has been dubbed by Kaspersky experts, is the most widely spread threat out there in the month of September too. 25.22 percent of virus infections had NetSky.q written all over them. However, there are more types of Netsky - there is also the .aa version, as well as .t, .b, .x and others. Just take a look at this chart and see how viruses ranked in September.
For those of you that have no idea what NetSky is and what it does, allow me to explain it to you. It's a family of computer worms that spreads like crazy. And it is so popular because it removes other viruses, so once you've got it on your machine, you won't have any trouble with Bagle and MyDoom. That's why it's more prolific than other viruses. It popped up at the beginning of 2004 and is authored by the same guy that wrote the code for the infamous Sasser virus.
So, what else does it do besides making sure the machine is all his? Well, it will "read" your e-mail contact list and send messages with an attachment to all your contacts. Of course, the attachments are infected with NetSky and once the user downloads them, it will also get the virus. So, yes, it's mail spread. This is just another reason why people are advised not to click on links in spam e-mails and to be careful when downloading attachments, because, not only could one get a virus on his/her machine, but he or she will also send it (involuntarily, of course) to friends and other contacts.
Here i want to share with you about the tallest and the shortest living man in the world.
Tallest Man:
Leonid Ivanovych Stadnyk born 1971 in Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine, is a man who is formerly listed as the world's tallest living man according to Guinness World Records 2008. On August 20, 2008, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, Craig Glenday, announced that the title of world's tallest man returned to China's Bao Xishun after Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk refused to be measured under new guidelines, which required him to be independently measured by Guinness World Records adjudicators.
On August 8, 2007, Guinness book's spokeswoman Amarilis Espinoza stated that in the 2008 edition of the record book, Mr Stadnyk at 2.57m (8 ft 5.2 in), appeared to be taller than Bao Xishun, a native of Inner Mongolia in China who stands 2.36 m (7 ft 8.9 in). However, Stadnyk refused to be measured and was consequently denied the GWR recognition. Others have questioned the legitimacy of the record, noting that Stadnyk has never been officially measured by Guinness World Records, only by the "Ukrainian Book of Records" that certificates that he measure 2.53m, and that the doctor originally credited by Guinness with confirming Stadnyk's height has denied ever measuring him.
Leonid Stadnyk's excessive growth began after brain surgery when he was 14 years old. He developed a pituitary gland tumor which caused the gland to secrete large amounts of growth hormone, resulting in what doctors describe as acromegalic gigantism. Twenty years after the surgery, the doctors have discovered the tumour had mysteriously disappeared and he is currently healthy. A Pravda news report in Spring 2006 reported that Leonid Stadnyk grew 2 cm (0.79 in) in the previous year, not accounting the time between the original Spring 2004 report and Spring 2005. According to Pravda, his health is slowly failing in that he needs to hold on to limbs of trees and the side of his house to walk about.
He is a certified veterinarian and veterinary surgeon and lives with his mother in the village of Podolyantsi, Ukraine.
Shortest Man:
He Pingping born July 1988 is a Chinese man who has been officially named by the Guinness World Records as the world's shortest man who is able to walk.
The 20-year-old measures 73 cm (2 ft 5 in) tall, and is the third child of a family in Huade county, in the city of Wulanchabu in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. He has two sisters, both of whom developed at normal rates and are now married. According to his father, He Yun, at birth he was as small as a palm. When it became apparent the child was growing very slowly, doctors diagnosed the cause as the bone deformity Osteogenesis imperfecta, which hinders normal bone growth and bodily height.
In January 2007, He was invited to take part on a television program in Tokyo, Japan and has since then become an Internet icon. Interestingly, his home of Inner Mongolia is also home to Bao Xishun, who at 2.36 metres tall is currently recognized as the world's tallest man by Guinness, and their televised meeting in July 2007 attracted global media attention.[citation needed] In May 2008 he appeared in the British Channel 4 documentary called "The World's Smallest Man and Me" hosted by Mark Dolan. In September 2008 he appeared with the world's longest-legged woman, Svetlana Pankratova, in London's Trafalgar Square, to publicize the release of the 2009 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.
Since his January 2007 appearance on television, His status as the world's shortest man has been verified by Guinness World Records. His height was measured three times over the course of 10 hours before he received a certificate officially naming him as the world’s shortest living man.
In 2006 Guinness World Records disallowed an application from a then fourteen-year-old Nepalese boy, Khagendra Thapa Magar, who measures 53 cm but will review the case when he is 18 years old. A Jordanian man who claims to be the world's shortest man, Younis Edwan, has not been measured.
Hello..
I have read about sport car.
A sports car is a term used to describe a class of automobile. The exact definition varies, but generally it is used to refer to a low to ground, light weight vehicle with a powerful engine. Most vehicles referred to as sports cars are rear-wheel drive, have two seats, two doors, and are designed for more precise handling, acceleration, and aesthetics. A sports car's dominant considerations can be superior road handling, braking, maneuverability, low weight, and high power, rather than passenger space, comfort, and fuel economy.
Sports cars can be either luxurious or spartan, but driving mechanical performance is the key attraction. Many drivers regard brand name and the subsequent racing reputation and history as important indications of sporting quality (for example, Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus), but some brands, such as Lamborghini, which do not race or build racing cars, are also highly regarded.
A car may be a sporting automobile without being a sports car. Performance modifications of regular, production cars, such as sport compacts, sports sedans, muscle cars, hot hatches and the like, generally are not considered sports cars, yet share traits common to sports cars. They are sometimes called "sports cars" for marketing purposes for increased advertising and promotional purposes. Performance cars of all configurations are grouped as Sports and Grand tourer cars, or, occasionally, as performance cars.

Hello..
I have read about classic car.
Classic car is a term frequently used to describe an older car, but the exact meaning is subject to differences in opinion. Some are very inclusive,considering any older car in fine condition a classic.
Generally, a Classic was high-priced when new and was built in limited quantities. Other factors, including engine displacement, custom coachwork and luxury accessories, such as power brakes, power clutch, and "one-shot" or automatic lubrication systems, help determine whether a car is considered to be a Classic.

Today, I want to share with you some fact about pride building of our country..The Petronas Twin Towers.
Actually, the twin tower was built by different company.The Tower 1 was built by Hazama Corporation and Tower 2 by Samsung Engineering & Construction and Kukdong Engineering & Construction and both company that built Tower 2 is from South Korea. This towers is the world's tallest buildings, before being surpassed by the Taipei 101.They were the world's tallest buildings from 1998 to 2004 if measured from the level of the main entrance to the structural top.
The Petronas Twin Towers are preceded by Sears Tower but was surpassed by the Taipei 101.The twin towers have 451.9 meters or 1,482.6 feets of antenna/spire height, 378.6 meters or 1,242.1 feets of roof height and 375.0 meters or 1,230.3 feets of top floor height.With 88 floors, the count of floor in this twin towers actually less than floor count of Sears Towers and the World Trade Center towers that were each constructed with 110 occupied floors.

I would like to share an article that I have read that about greenhouse effect..
The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.
As energy from the Sun passes through the atmosphere a number of things take place. A portion of the energy is reflected back to space by clouds and other atmospheric particles. About 19% of the energy available is absorbed by clouds, gases (like ozone), and particles in the atmosphere. Of the remaining 55% of the solar energy passing through the Earth's atmosphere, 4% is reflected from the surface back to space. On average, about 51% of the Sun's radiation reaches the surface. This energy is then used in a number of processes, including the heating of the ground surface; the melting of ice and snow and the evaporation of water; and plant photosynthesis.
In summary, the greenhouse effect causes the atmosphere to trap more heat energy at the Earth's surface and within the atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting longwave energy. Of the longwave energy emitted back to space, 90% is intercepted and absorbed by greenhouse gases. Without the greenhouse effect the Earth's average global temperature would be -18° Celsius, rather than the present 15° Celsius. In the last few centuries, the activities of humans have directly or indirectly caused the concentration of the major greenhouse gases to increase. Scientists predict that this increase may enhance the greenhouse effect making the planet warmer. Some experts estimate that the Earth's average global temperature has already increased by 0.3 to 0.6° Celsius, since the beginning of this century, because of this enhancement. Predictions of future climates indicate that by the middle of the next century the Earth's global temperature may be 1 to 3° Celsius higher than today.

"Google", one name that is synonym with us as a internet user.I ever read about google and today I will tell you again what is Google actually.
Google Inc. is an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search, e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing services as well as selling advertising-free versions of the same technologies. The Google headquarters, the Googleplex, is located in Mountain View, California. As of 30 September 2008 the company has 20,123 full-time employees.
Google was co-founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were students at Stanford University and the company was first incorporated as a privately held company on 4 September 1998. The initial public offering took place on 19 August 2004, raising US$1.67 billion, making it worth US$23 billion. Google has continued its growth through a series of new product developments, acquisitions, and partnerships. Environmentalism, philanthropy, and positive employee relations have been important tenets during the growth of Google, the latter resulting in being identified multiple times as Fortune Magazine's #1 Best Place to Work. The unofficial company slogan is "Don't be evil", although criticism of Google includes concerns regarding the privacy of personal information, copyright, censorship and discontinuation of services.
That's all about Google from me..
Thank you..
Assalamualaikum to teacher and my fellow friends.Recently,I have been read an article about the sushi.Some people dislike sushi,but not me.I like sushi very much.Now I want to tell you about the history of sushi.
Sushi originally began as the preservation of food, somewhere around inland China, in 4th century BC. Fish was salted then wrapped in fermented rice; it became a great source of protein. The original type of sushi was nare-sushi. Nare-sushi was gutted fish stored in fermented rice for preservation. Nare-sushi was stored for fermentation for a few months then removed. The fermented rice was discarded and the fish was the only part consumed.
It began to expand throughout China, and sometime around the 8th century AD it reached Japan. The Japanese preferred to eat fish with rice, this caused the creation of seisei-sushi. During the Muromachi period seisei-sushi was the most popular type of sushi. Seisei-sushi was partly raw fish wrapped in rice, before it lost its flavor. This new way of consuming sushi was no longer a form of preservation but rather a cuisine.
During the Edo era or the early modern period of Japan, a third type of sushi was introduced, haya-sushi. Haya-sushi was created so that both rice and fish could be consumed at the same time, the dish became unique to the Japanese culture. It was the first time that rice was not being used for fermentation. Rice was mixed with vinegar and fish as usual but then vegetables and dried preserved foods would be added as well. This type of sushi is still very popular today. Each region utilizes local flavors to produce many kinds of sushi that has been passed down for many generations.
When Tokyo was still being called Edo, at the beginning of the 19th century, mobile food stalls became the food services dominated industry. During this period nigiri-sushi was introduced. Nigiri-sushi is the most common type of sushi in restaurants. It is an oblong mound of rice with a slice of fish draped over it. After the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923, nigiri-sushi chefs lost their jobs and spread throughout Japan spreading it with them.
Today's dish internationally known as "sushi" (nigirizushi; Kantō variety) is a fast food invented by Hanaya Yohei (華屋与兵衛; 1799 - 1858) at the end of Edo period in today's Tokyo (Edo). People in Tokyo were living in haste even over one hundred years ago. The nigirizushi invented by Hanaya was not fermented and could be eaten by hands (or using chopsticks). It was an early form of fast food that could be eaten at a road side or in a theater.
ladies and gentlemen,before i share this topic i advise you all better not chewing anything food,especially biscuit!!
So,do you all familiar with oreo biscuits?Like it very much??Like shown in the advertisement,"TWIST IT,LIK IT,DUMP IT AND YOU EAT IT"??
This is get to know from friend of my friend(her identity is a secret).
Her roommate just bought OREO biscuit with chocolate taste from 7-11, before she bite it, she saw something strange in the middle cream, got many small holes with white color , she thought it's impossible that OREO got new product with new taste? Is it the sugar? But how come it's looked like this?
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h139/vdex1503/oreo1.jpg
Then she checked the box,it`s correct, chocolate taste, not white chocolate and there's no fruit added in it.Expired? Still long time and the pack still very good.
Here comes the climax,she thought Is it possible, the look is awful but actually the taste is yummy?
Finally she opened the biscuit.
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h139/vdex1503/oreo2.jpg
hard to explain from words,its full of white small holes, look like the spoiled eggs as maggot's nest, so disgusting....luckily her friend's eyesight is sharp,what if she has bite it?
Although at last they got their money return from the 7-11 shop,but the staff`s excuss still haunting me until now,he said "the goods are import product, probably there's problem during the process of shipment"
The main point is there are still
many boxes of these biscuits on the racks.Wonder when they will wipe out those goods from their racks.
Hope after this you will have a second thought whenever you want to eat oreo biscuits.

Assalamualaikum and good day to all my friends and to our beloved teacher, Mdm Noli Maishara..
I think everyone have an experience about not enough sleep and sleep very late...
Recently, I was interested to read about this article at the internet.Here, I want to share to all of you about this article.
10 Reasons Not to Skimp on Sleep:-
1) Less may mean more. For people who sleep under seven hours a night, the fewer zzzz's they get, the more obese they tend to be, according to a 2006 Institute of Medicine report. This may relate to the discovery that insufficient sleep appears to tip hunger hormones out of whack. Leptin, which suppresses appetite, is lowered; ghrelin, which stimulates appetite, gets a boost.
2) You're more apt to make bad food choices. A study published this week in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that people with obstructive sleep apnea or other severely disordered breathing while asleep ate a diet higher in cholesterol, protein, total fat, and total saturated fat. Women were especially affected.
3) Diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance, its precursor, may become more likely. A 2005 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people getting five or fewer hours of sleep each night were 2.5 times more likely to be diabetic, while those with six hours or fewer were 1.7 times more likely.
4) The ticker is put at risk. A 2003 study found that heart attacks were 45 percent more likely in women who slept for five or fewer hours per night than in those who got more.
5) Blood pressure may increase. Obstructive sleep apnea, for example, has been associated with chronically elevated daytime blood pressure, and the more severe the disorder, the more significant the hypertension, suggests the 2006 IOM report. Obesity plays a role in both disorders, so losing weight can ease associated health risks.
6) Auto accidents rise. As stated in a 2007 report in the New England Journal of Medicine, nearly 20 percent of serious car crash injuries involve a sleepy driver—and that's independent of alcohol use.
7) Balance is off. Older folks who have trouble getting to sleep, who wake up at night, or are drowsy during the day could be 2 to 4.5 times more likely to sustain a fall, found a 2007 study in the Journal of Gerontology.
8) You may be more prone to depression. Adults who chronically operate on fumes report more mental distress, depression, and alcohol use. Adolescents suffer, too: One survey of high school students found similarly high rates of these issues. Middle schoolers, too, report more symptoms of depression and lower self-esteem.
9) Kids may suffer more behavior problems. Research from an April issue of the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine found that children who are plagued by insomnia, short duration of sleeping, or disordered breathing with obesity, for example, are more likely to have behavioral issues like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
10) Death's doorstep may be nearer. Those who get five hours or less per night have approximately 15 percent greater risk of dying—regardless of the cause—according to three large population-based studies published in the journals Sleep and the Archives of General Psychiatry.
I'am among of this.I realised that I'am in dangerous if I continue to have insufficient sleep.Therefore, I want to change my habit to get better health.
Thank You...

I have watched a 2005 Japanese series entitled “Tiger & Dragon” recently. I am not going to tell you briefly what the comedy series is all about, but I am going to tell you something about Rakugo. What is Rakugo? What is it has something to do with “Tiger & Dragon”? Well, if you have watched the comedy series, you will know what Rakugo is. In this comedy series, it tells us about the world of Rakugo. Here is the link about an online article I read recently about Rakugo - Click Here . Rakugo is a Japanese verbal entertainment where storyteller sits on the stage, using only a paper fan and a small cloth as props, and without standing up from the sitting position, depicts a long and complicated comical story. The story always involves the dialogue of two or more characters, the difference between the characters depicted only through change in pitch, tone, and a slight turn of the head. It is always been the same story every now and then, the classics and the modern. Did the audience get bored? Not necessarily. Although the storytellers tell the same stories, they tell them in a different, funny kind of ways. The hall would always filled with laughter and claps from the audience. These are some of the famous classic story of Rakugo:
1. Jugemu
2. The Cat’s Plate
3. Shibahama
4. Manjuu Kowai (I’m Afraid Of Manju)
5. Taiga to Doragon (Tiger & Dragon)
From what I have watch in the drama series, Jugemu is the story about naming the new-born child, while The Cat’s Plate is about feeding the cat using an expensive plate. Manjuu Kowai is about a person who tells people what he is afraid of but in the end, he is rather loves what people thought he was afraid of.
Above all, I like Shibahama the most. It is about a husband who stays at home all day long drinking Sake, a kind of Japanese wine. One day, his wife asked him to go out to fish. Instead of bringing home fishes, he brought back a wallet. His wife thought that he stole it from someone, but he convinced her that he found it when he was washing his face at the beach. He is indeed very happy and decided to pay off their debts using the money from the wallet he got earlier. Later, he went off to sleep. After he woke up, he asked his wife about the wallet, but unfortunately his wife doesn’t know anything about it. His wife convinced him that he might be dreaming about the wallet and the money inside it. Soon after, he realizes that the Sake he drank each and every day has made him thinking about things that was never happen. Therefore, he decided to never drink Sake ever again. During the New Years Eve, his wife gave him something he is familiar with. It is the wallet he thought he had dreamt of. His wife finally admitted that she had hid the wallet and he was actually not dreaming of it. Later, he cries, and praised his wife for being very noble. They can now celebrate a free-debt new year.
However, the classic story can always be changed to suits with today’s world and therefore it became the modern story of Rakugo. These stories not only entertain people on their jokes, but also the moral values within it.
Hopefully, I can to Japan one day to watch the original Rakugo.

I have read a blog posted by one of my friends I met in college, Fadzrul. Click here to read the blog. This blog is entitled “Bezanya darah bukan penghalang kasih”. It is his true story about his new family member, Sofia Allisya, a 2-month-old adopted child. His elder sister and her husband adopted Sofia not long ago. When Sofia is 5 months old, his sister’s maid had to go back to Indonesia, and therefore Sofia had to be taken care by both of his parents since his sister had her husband were busy with their work. However, reading his blog makes me moved. I was touched. Both of his parents took care of Sofia like their own granddaughter. From that experience, it questioned him. If there is too much love for that adopted child, then there should be more of that love to their children, including Fadzrul himself. In his blog he even includes the prayer for his parents and for every parents in this world. There is too much love for us child of our own parents. We should never ever disregard our parents, even how much you hated them for caning you when you have done something wrong. It is indeed for our own sake.
This time i`m going to share something about cold and flu.
For your information,i`m always get troubled with this kind of problem.Seriously,i`m hate sneezing!!
So,i found this article very useful and i`m going to share with you all.
Obviously we will ask "What's the best way to stay disease-free?
Prevent infections from happening in the first place. You can prevent infection through simple tactics such as regular hand washing, vaccinations and appropriate medications.
Hand washing
We often overlooked this,actually hand washing is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect yourself from germs and most infections. Wash your hands thoroughly before preparing or eating food, after coughing or sneezing, after changing a diaper and after using the toilet. When soap and water aren't readily available, alcohol-based hand-sanitizing gels can offer protection.
Vaccines
Vaccination is your best line of defense for certain diseases. As researchers understand more about what causes disease, the list of vaccine-preventable diseases continues to grow. Many vaccines are given in childhood, but adults still need to be routinely vaccinated to prevent some illnesses, such as tetanus and influenza.
Medicines
Some medicines can help you from becoming susceptible to germs. For example, taking an anti-parasitic medication might protect you from contracting malaria if you travel to or live in an area where your risk is high. Or when you are at high risk of exposure to certain organisms — such as those that cause bacterial meningitis — your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to lower your risk of infection. Using over-the-counter antibiotic creams can decrease the chance of infection of minor cuts and scrapes.
But long-term, indiscriminate use of antibiotics isn't recommended in most cases. It won't prevent bacterial infections and instead may result in a more resistant, harder-to-treat strain of bacteria when infections do occur.
Hopefully,by having a guide here,we could make it the least chance to got troubled with cold/flu problem again.
I just wat to share some information about confectionery food.
Some of the categories and types of confectionery include the following:
Hard sweets: Based on sugars cooked to the hard-crack stage, including suckers (known as boiled sweets in British English), lollipops, jawbreakers (or gobstoppers), lemon drops, peppermint drops and disks, candy canes, rock candy, etc. These also include types often mixed with nuts such as brittle. Others contain flavorings including coffee such as Kopiko.
Fudge: A confection of milk and sugar boiled to the soft-ball stage. In the US, it tends to be chocolate-flavored.
Toffee (or Taffy or Tuffy): Based on sugars cooked to the soft-ball stage and then pulled to create an elastic texture. In British English, toffee can also refer to a harder substance also made from cooked sugars which resembles toffee.
Swiss Milk Tablet. A crumbly milk-based soft candy, based on sugars cooked to the soft-ball stage. Comes in several forms, such as wafers and heart shapes.
Liquorice: Containing extract of the liquorice root. Chewier and more resilient than gum/gelatin candies, but still designed for swallowing. For example, Liquorice allsorts. Has a similar taste to Star Anise.
A chocolate.Chocolates: Used in the plural, usually referring to small balled centers covered with chocolate to create bite-sized confectionery. People who create chocolates are called chocolatiers, and they create their confections with couverture chocolate. A chocolate maker, on the other hand, is the person who physically creates the couverture from cacao beans and other ingredients.
Jelly candies: Including those based on sugar and starch, pectin, gum, or gelatin such as Lokum / Turkish Delight, jelly beans, gumdrops, jujubes, cola bottles gummies, etc.
Marshmallow: "Peeps" (a trade name), circus peanuts, fluffy puff, etc.
Marzipan: An almond-based confection, doughy in consistency, served in several different ways. It is often formed into shapes mimicking (for example) fruits or animals. Alternatively, marzipan may be flavoured, normally with spirits such as Kirsch or Rum, and divided into small bite-sized pieces; these flavoured marzipans are generally served coated in chocolate to prevent the alcohol from evaporating, and are very common in northern Europe. Marzipan is also used in cake decoration. Its lower-priced version is called Persipan.
Divinity: A nougat-like confectionery based on egg whites with chopped nuts.
Assalamualaikum and good day to Madam Noli and fellow my friends,
Right now,I am going to share my reading about the cake.
Cake is a form of food that is usually sweet and often baked. Cakes normally combine some kind of flour, a sweetening agent (commonly sugar), a binding agent (generally egg, though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), fats (usually butter, shortening, or margarine, although a fruit purée such as applesauce is sometimes substituted to avoid using fat), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavors and some form of leavening agent (such as yeast or baking powder), though many cakes lack these ingredients and instead rely on air bubbles in the dough to expand and cause the cake to rise. Cake is often frosted with buttercream or marzipan, and finished with piped borders and crystallized fruit.
Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. There are literally millions of cake recipes (some are bread-like and some rich and elaborate) and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake.
Thank you
Now, I want to share some motivated story with you guys...
actually I bet all of you know this story,because we have heard it since we were kid..well, it is about THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE..
once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster.
they decided to settle the argument with a race.they agreed on a route and started off the race.
the hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time.then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race..
he sat under the tree and soon fell asleep.
the tortoise plodding on the overtook him and son finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ.
the hare woke up and realize that he'd lost the race.
well, do know what is the moral of the story?
erm,
the moral is,SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE.....
hahahaha....
Thank You...
before this i wrote a story of HE TORTOISE AND THE HARE..now, i would like to continue the story..
the hare was disappointed at loosing the race and he did some soul-searching. he realized that he'd lost the race only because he had been overconfident, careless and lax. if he had not taken things for granted, there's no way the tortoise could have beaten him.
so, he challenged the tortoise to another race. the tortoise agreed.
this time, the are went all out and ran without stopping from start to finish. he won by several miles...
well, and again do you what is the moral of the story??
nope, you're wrong..
the moral of the story is "fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady". if you have 2 people in your organization, one slow, methodical and reliable, and the other is fast and still reliable at what he does, the faster and reliable chap will consistently climb the organization ladder than the slow, methodical chap.
IT''S GOOD TO BE SLOW AND STEADY; BUT IT'S BETTER FAST AND RELIABLE..
Thank You..
Assalamualaikum..I have read an article in Yahoo.com about Apple new notebook called 'MacBook' and 'Macbook Pro'.
The notebook comes with a new, black keyboard, a glass-coated display surrounded by a glossy black frame, and the new, larger glass trackpad—all packed into a slimmer, 0.95-inch casing. The new Apple notebook use new 15.4-inch LED display.
Furthermore, the notebook use Nvidia's new 9400M integrated graphics chip, a GPU-plus-chipset which will deliver five times the performance of the integrated Intel graphics on previous MacBooks. Even better, the MacBook Pros will ship with both the 9400M and Nvidia's 9600M GT dedicated graphics chip, for a "turbo" graphics mode.
This notebook can help us in doing the work..It also can make our work done well..

Hello..today i would like to talk about the rainbow.. As we know rainbows can be observed whenever there are water drops in the air and sunlight shining from behind a person at a low altitude angle (on the ground). The most spectacular rainbow displays happen when half of the sky is still dark with draining clouds and the observer is at a spot with clear sky in the direction of the Sun. The result is a luminous rainbow that contrasts with the darkened background.
For your information the rainbow effect is also commonly seen near waterfalls or fountains. Rainbow fringes can sometimes be seen at the edges of backlit clouds and as vertical bands in distant rain or virga. The effect can also be artificially created by dispersing water droplets into the air during a sunny day. Rarely, a moonbow, lunar rainbow or night-time rainbow, can be seen on strongly moonlit nights. As human visual perception for colour is poor in low light, moonbows are often perceived to be white.
It is difficult to photograph the complete arc of a rainbow, as this would require an angle of view of 84°. For a 35 mm camera, a lens with a focal length of 19 mm or less wide-angle lens would be required. From an aeroplane, one has the opportunity to see the whole circle of the rainbow, with the plane's shadow in the centre. This phenomenon can be confused with the glory, but a glory is usually much smaller, covering only 5°–20°.
That is all from me about the rainbow..thank you..
Good day,
Here is something on what i just read. It is about emotion. I'm everyone has emotions and their own unique way to express it.
An emotion is a term for a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behavior. Emotions are subjective experiences, or experienced from a individual point of view. Emotion is often associated with mood, temperament, personality, and disposition. For example: confused, excited, guilty, anxious, angry, sad, confident, embarrassed, happy, disgusted, frightened, cautious, smug, lonely, lovestruck, joy, jealous, surprised, shy, apathetic, powerful, unfair, pleasure, and euphoric.
The English word 'emotion' is derived from the French émotion and émouvoir. This is based on the Latin emovere, where e- (variant of ex-) means 'out' and movere means 'move'.The related term "motivation" is also derived from movere. Emotions can be divided between 'cognitive' theories of emotions and 'non-cognitive' theories of emotions; or instinctual emotions (from the amgdala), and cognitive emotions (from the prefrontal cortex). Some psychologists divide emotions into basic and complex categories, where base emotions lead to more complex ones. Emotions can be categorized by its duration. Some emotions occur over a period of seconds (e.g. surprise) where others can last years (e.g. love). No definitive taxonomy exists.
A related distinction is between the emotion and the results of the emotion, principally behaviours and emotional expressions. People often behave in certain ways as a direct result of their emotional state, such as crying, fighting or fleeing. Yet again, if one can have the emotion without the corresponding behaviour then we may consider the behaviour not to be essential to the emotion. However some theorists such as the Dutch psychologist Nico Frijda hold a functionalist approach to emotions. Frijda argues that emotions have evolved for a particular function, such as to keep the subject safe. If the behaviours associated with an emotion are the determining factor for the very existence of that emotion then goal-directed behaviour should be regarded as essential to the emotion. Yet since we recognise that the behaviour need not necessarily occur, we can stipulate that emotions involve what are called 'action tendencies'. So for instance, fear involves the tendency to flee, which means that the probability that the subject will flee from a given situation is increased when he is undergoing fear.
Thank You (^_^)
