Shall I share some "Humor of Getting Married"? ......


Before  a man is married, he is incomplete.
Then after he is married, he is finished.

Marriage is an institution in which a man losses his "bachelor's degree"
and the women gets her "master's status".

A happy marriage is a matter of give and take;
the husband gives and the wife takes.

A woman was telling her friend : " That was me who made my husband a millionaire."
"And what was he before you married him?" the friend asked.
"He was a multimillionaire......" the woman replied.

After a quarrel. a wife said to her husband, "You know, I was a fool when I married you."
And the husband replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn't notice it."

Married life is very frustrating.
In the first year of marriage, the husband speaks and the wife listens.
In the second year, the wife speaks and the husband listens.
Then in the third year, they both speak and the neighbours listen...... 

Nevertheless, those are just some humour jokes......A marriage is a responsibilities for both sides. They should caring, loving, understanding, supporting, encouraging and never "counting" to each other. Some of my friends have been divorced, what is marriage for them?

If you already married, let's see the "wedding anniversary name"......

Go...Go...Garlic !!

Garlic is used in a variety of cooking to add more flavour to the food. The Chinese use garlic as a main ingredient in many of their stir-fry dishes. There are some people who enjoy eating raw garlic, especially when added with soy sauce and chopped chili as a dip, I'm the one who really love this! Then of course, there are those who find the smell of garlic too over-powering and avoid it at all costs. But if you know the health benefits of garlic, you may change your mind and consider it into your daily diet......

The benefits :
Garlic belongs to the onion family. Through the years, garlic is used as a natural antibiotic to kill bacteria and has been used in the treatment of wounds. Perhaps that could also explain the use of garlic to season or marinate meats, killing bacteria present in the meats and reducing the risk of food poisoning. Garlic also has antioxidant properties, it contains sulphur compounds, which is enhances further when the garlic is chopped or crushed to convert alliin to allicin. The smell and the taste of the garlic is due to the allicin compound.

Garlic is known to help prevent the growth of tumours, and to prevent stomach and colon cancer.

This could be due to its antioxidant properties to fight free radicals. Studies have suggested that individuals who consume garlic on a regular basis show lower incidence of stomach cancer.


The uses :
- to lower cholesterol, this helps to reduce risk of coronary heart disease
- to lower blood pressure
- to prevent blood clots by helping to thin the blood. This reduces the risk
  of stroke
- to reduce build-up of plaque in the arteries
- to strengthen the body's immunity system
- however, research has yet to prove all these benefits of garlic



So far, research has yet to determine the best of taking garlic to obtain the most of its health benefits. You can take garlic in its natural form, but if you really cannot "suffer" its smell, you can purchase garlic supplements available in capsules, which contain extracts of allicin.


Caution :
As garlic helps to thin the blood and prevent blood clots, it should not be used with anticoagulant medications, in case of bleeding. Other cases in which uses of garlic should be exercised with care are during pregnancy and before surgery. This is very important to consult your doctor for advise.



For me, Garlic is more than just great taste, what do you think??

Dream Jobs

Money or passion? Everyone works for one of these two reason. A job opportunity that is both fun and comes with ans attractive pay is scarce but there are a lucky few who somehow managed to land a job that combines two.

Paradise Island Caretaker
Relax on a tropical island away from the bustling city. Well, as a paradise island caretaker, it is a job to swim, explore, relax and take in the blue skies, crystal clear waters and pure sands.

It is easy to see why many regard this as the best job in the world. All a paradise island caretaker has to do is have a grand time exploring the island and promoting activities via a blog, photo diary and video updates for the world to see.

Take an entry on Ben Southall's blog (http://www.bestjobben.com). He is paradise island caretaker of Hamilton Island of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. During his 6 months contract, he lived in a rent-free airy three bedroom oceanfront villa complete with a private pool and sweeping views of the surrounding islands. All Ben had to do was protect the reef and discover the island's full potential and promote it.

Prior to landing the job, Ben had to spend 4 days on the island for and extended interview process. He had to snorkel through crystalline waters, gorge at a beach side barbecue, relax at a spa, demonstrate his blogging abilities, take swimming test and sit through in-person interview.

Video Game Tester
This is pretty much the best job every guy would want. Sitting around channelling the kid in them to play video games all day long.

As a video game tester, you are required to play video games for at least 4 hours per day and even more before they hit the markets!

Crucial to the development of new video games, the testers have to play the games over and over again to ensure quality, find mistakes, bugs and other problems that could hinder gamers from having a good time.

Though it sounds like fun, video game tester need a lot of patience when testing a game as they have to constantly find new ways to beat the high score. Great controller skills and hand-eye coordination also help tremendously.

Food Taster

Be warned, this job might sound really easy but dangerous if not careful. The duty of a food taster comes with a great risk - gaining weight!

What a joy it is to be paid to eat all you want all day long and even take food home with you. There are different types of food tasters sampling all kinds of  food from chocolates, candies, ice-creams, cereals and breakfast bars to meats for fast food joints.

The responsibilities for a food taster are to test top secret recipes, come up with ideas for new products, develop recipes and make sure that existing products stay ahead of the competition.  When you have to taste a lot of pretty much the same thing, it is wise to decide on a type of food you prefer before you go jumping into the job.

Food tasters are not just concerned with checking the flavours but also the texture and appearance of the food. To achieve food taster status, you have to learn and know a lot about the taste, texture and flavour of different kinds of food. The best would be to hone the skills at a culinary school.

Constant trips to the gym are definitely necessary for this job!


Luxury Bed Tester
This is the dream. Getting paid to sleep on the job and on luxury bed, no less!!

While sleeping on the job is highly frowned upon, it is imperative when you are a luxury bed tester.

Through this job is usually a short stint that pays good money, it ultimately serves a higher purpose. Bed companies usually run these tests as a means to carry out a sleep survey which provides an objective view of bed sales and looks into what brings about a good night's sleep.

The bed tester will also be put through a series of experiment under certain conditions such as giving the tester alcohol or caffeine and changing the light and temperature to measure the extent that external factors influence sleeping experience on the beds.

Famous for landing the job, Roisin Madigan earned £1000 for sleeping on top-of-the-line designer beds and mattresses every day for a month. She spent 8 hours per day at a luxury bed specialists Simon Horn Limited's showroom in Edgbaston and blogged about her experience.


So call it luck or just knowing when and where to look, those jobs are said to be the BEST in the world!! Agree?

Pamper Your Feet

Do you know how far the average a person walks during their lifetime? Surprisingly, the average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day. Those cover several miles, and they all up to about 115,000 miles in a lifetime more than four times the circumferences of the globe!



Many people don't even know that feet hold the secret of power that contribute to the overall health of our body.People always overlook the importance of their feet but pay attention to other distinctive outer appearance. In the ancient healing art of reflexology, the feet and hands are viewed as maps or mirrors of the body, and by putting pressure on and massaging specific points on the feet or hands it is said to have an effect on the corresponding area of the body. 


The natural healing art focusing on feet to create overall comfort and holistic treatment, reflexology has been known to men for many thousands of years. It was first practised by the early Indian, Chinese and Egyptian peoples.


Pressure on specific parts of the body could have an anaesthetising effect on a related area. Reflex areas on the feet and hands are linked to other areas and organs of the body within the same zone.




Floral foot soak is an ancient form of pain relief practised throughout many cultures for countries. This gives enchantment of relaxation. Tired feet will be pampered with a gentle massage infused with fresh flowers and herbs. After patting them dry, rich oil will applied with a massage to enhance comfortable and soothing effects. This helps to remove tension, relieve poor circulation and fluid retention, and leaves only the rejuvenating feeling with you. 

Great Ginger

If you suffer from frequent headaches, forget the painkillers, ginger should be your new best friend. In Ayurveda, it is considered one of the best remedies for throbbing temples as it's a natural anti-nausea.




~ Migraines, take 2-4gm of ginger a day, in any form. Ginger tea is a popular option; simmer a few slices of fresh ginger in a cup of water for about 15 minutes (you can add honey and lemon juice) and down it while still warm.

~ Sinus headaches, dap a little ginger paste behind the ears, and before going to bed, drink a glass of warm milk mixed with 1 teaspoon of flaxseed.

~ Tension headaches, dilute half a teaspoon ginger paste in water and use it as a pain balm - simply apply to the forehead.

~ Temporal headaches, apply ginger paste to the forehead and sinuses.
