Karma of Life

I think sometimes that I would might have bad karma for the meanest things I have thought, then again, I always think of the good stuff too. Then sometimes when we can’t figure how to stop a person from spreading false reality about someone else, we gave up and leave it to the person’s karma! or badmouthing the others all the time for jeolousy sake..

Just like in 156, we decided to leave this man alone for his own drinking and seating. His mouth could be worst than any market-auntie’s mouth,….. chi chi chi with all the nonsense without admitting the root of the chi chi chi chi is his own bloody fault.
Let him chi chi chi chi more and let his own karma deal with him.

Karma is totally not another term for retribution !

Then today I was wondering, everyone self has a self in which karma comes back be it good or bad inside.

Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म kárma (help·info), kárman- "act, action, performance"[1]; Pali: kamma) is the concept of "action" or "deed" in Indian religions understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect (i.e., the cycle called samsara) described in Hindu, Jain, Sikh and Buddhist philosophies.
The philosophical explanation of karma can differ slightly between traditions, but the general concept is basically the same. It is usually understood as a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. The results or 'fruits' of actions are called karma-phala. Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward; karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to them and others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.


A good explaination of speaking thought out here

Concidental?

yesterday we had a simple and relazing day at home accompanying the Daddy of mine! while we did the household chores, the Daddy took a great day to rest and the AK prepared simple dishes for dinner for the 3 of us.

The eyesore chores is enough to keep me busy for more than 12 hours, by the time i got things in straight mode, it was rather dark outside!

several bottles of beer me and the Ak just at the outside before the aches and tiredness enfolds.

and then i was just thinking and speaking loud to the darling Ak,

- if there weren't any stamford trip, we would not cancel the Malacca trip
- if then if the stamford trip wasn't few days after Daddy & Mom's China trip, darling AK would have joined them

which in fact is all PLANNED nicely by the Lord

which is

- if Malacca trip wasn't cancelled, the AK and me would have left and Daddy would be alone in Singapore, in hospital and no-one to take care of him
- and finally stamford trip was cancelled, for me and the AK to take care of Daddy
- and if the AK left for China with my family and me continued to stamford, Daddy would be alone.

Everything has its reason for its existence isn't it.

Amazingly, how things worked out perfectly.

so why get miserable and ponder about the past, if we ourselves can't change the past
and why worry about tomorrow, if we know not what tomorrow lies ahead
so just make merry today and let the today be of good memories in the future!

Wife Biscuit

This morning we had an email from Tong to help ourselves with the wife biscuit in the pantry.

So the colleague asked why is it called wife biscuits.. I also don’t know …

Inquisitive-ly….


[edit] Legendary Origin
A long time ago in feudal China, there was a couple that lived a very poor life. They loved each other and lived in a small village.
Suddenly, a mysterious disease spread. The husband's father became very sick. The couple spent all of their money in order to treat the man's father, but he was still sick. The wife sold herself as a slave in exchange for money to buy medicine for her father-in-law.
Once the husband learned about what his wife did, he made a cake filled with winter melon and with a crispy crust. His cake became so popular that he was able to earn enough money to buy his wife back.
There is another version where the man was eating at someone's house and recognized his wife's pastry and was reunited.

How Aids Started

Our curious talk made of how Aids came about to my search in the internet…

And not only It constraint to gays now,. it spreading well and more to the ladies to date. ..
Ga ga

Still want to eat monkeys, ownself die can liao, spread to the others is terrible…

"Aids was transmitted from monkeys to humans in africa to start. it was then spread globally by a gay airline steward named Gaëtan Dugas. the massive outbreak in san francisco was directly caused by Mayor Nancy Pelosi when she refused to close the gay bathhouses for over a year while knowing gay men were transmitting aids in open and anonymous sex .."

"After 25 years of speculation, an international scientific team has traced the origin of HIV to wild chimpanzees in a remote area of Cameroon, Africa. The first human to be infected with the virus is believed to be a hunter who came into contact (by bite or cut) with an infected chimp. In the early 80s, HIV was seen as a gay disease or a "rare cancer that affected homosexuals" as stated in the documentary Gay Sex in the 70s. So, why is the link between chimps and HIV an important discovery? In the wake of the AIDS pandemic, it's crucial that we all realize HIV/AIDS can affect anyone, not just gay people. And though there is still no cure for AIDS, learning the origin of the deadly virus may bring us one step closer to saving countless lives."

Will Power

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden,
but it was very hard work.

His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison.
The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation.

Dear Son, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year.
I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time.
I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot.
If you were here, all my troubles would be over.
I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in rison.

Love, Dad .........

Shortly, the old man received this telegram:
"For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!!
That's where I buried the GUNS!"

At 4a.m.the next morning, A dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.
Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and a sked him what to do next.


His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best I could do for you from here." ********-

Poltergeist

Last night was the our Wednesday TV night. Me and AK would TRY to catch the discovery channel very often“The Haunting” at 11pm and recently the shows are getting less scary and more mind thinking..

Last night, if you had watched, was the poltergeist of a woman, which at the end of the story, I still didn’t get it. The poltergeist of a person has the ability to exhibit with her energy ghosty strange happenings around her which I still don’t understand.

Poltergeist

Poltergeist (help·info) (German for noisy ghost) is a term used to describe a supposed spirit or ghost that manifests itself by moving and influencing inanimate objects.
Reports of poltergeist activity typically feature raps, bumps, thumps, knocks, footsteps, and bed shaking, all without a discernible point of origin or physical reason for occurrence. Many accounts also report objects being thrown about the room, furniture being moved, and even people being levitated. Though rare, a few reported poltergeists have been purported to speak, including the The Bell Witch in 1817 and Gef the Talking Mongoose in 1931.

RSPK: The Poltergeist Mechanism:
During a poltergeist experience, the agent, in an attempt to relieve emotional stress, unknowingly causes the physical disturbances using mental forces. The mental mechanism that allows the poltergeist agent to unconsciously cause these physical disturbances is called psychokinesis. Psychokinesis, PK, more commonly known as "mind over matter," is the human ability to mentally affect the physical environment.

Because the psychokinetic activity of the poltergeist agent is recurrent and spontaneous, this form of psychokinesis is termed RSPK or recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis. Most agents are unaware that they are causing the physical disturbances, and even those with vague awareness usually have no conscious control over how and when the disturbances will occur.

The Poltergeist Experience:
In poltergeist cases, typical reported disturbances include strange noises and knockings, and objects moving about as if under their own power. Objects have been reported to fly about in bizarre trajectories, to crash to the floor and break, to break or shatter in place, and to disappear and reappear, sometimes in different locations. Beds are sometimes reported to shake and furniture to rearrange itself. In more rare cases, small, innocuous fires have started, water droplets or bursts have fallen from nowhere, stones have pelted homes, and vague apparition-like forms have been seen. Whatever the nature of the physical disturbances, poltergeist phenomena can inevitably be linked to an "agent."

The Poltergeist Agent:
Though the agent can usually be narrowed down to one person, in some cases the agent appears to consist of two or more people who co-create a psychological dynamic that causes one or more of the people to mentally "set off" the physical disturbances. Studies and investigations show that agents are typically experiencing repressed or unresolved emotional stress. Adolescence is commonly a stressful life period (psychologically and physically) and not surprisingly, the majority of reported poltergeist cases involve adolescent agents (the age range is from 12 or 13 to early 20s).

However, people of all age groups are potential poltergeist agents (although there has been a noticeable lack of agents under 10 or 11). Studies have also shown that people with epilepsy or epileptic-like activity in the brain are sometimes associated with poltergeist activity. This does not mean that everyone under stress or with epilepsy will be a poltergeist agent. In fact, the phenomenon is very uncommon, even though minor PK events may occur throughout someone's lifetime. Even in severe cases of repressed stress or epilepsy, poltergeist activity rarely occurs.

Chicken Duck & Snal Gender

AK LA !

Gotten the question about the chicken and duck and made me so curious I ask almost 60% of my colleagues since this morning about it. Nobody has the answer and all very curious!

And after lunch, all insisted to hear the answer,,.. so we had gossip chat over this….8-9 of us… and we learnt another stuff…

Snail is a male and female.. they can change to the gender as and when they liked!

Chicken Mate

I have the answer: -

In summary to the below;-

Hens will lay eggs even without mating with a rooster. These eggs are used for marketing and for our consumption, those that we buy in supermarket.

For eggs to hatch into a baby chick, you require the rooster to mate the hen, and fertilised it in order for the egg to incubate!

the scientific reply

Question:-

Submitted by Brian from Chesterfield, Missouri

From a biological point of view, how is chicken-egg harvesting accomplished?

Does the female require fertilization before the egg is laid?

When and how is fertilization accomplished?

How many eggs can a chicken normally lay in a 24-hour period?

How does the process differ if the desire is to produce chickens rather than eggs as a food source?

Provided by

Dennis Chang, graduate student and HHMI predoctoral fellow at Harvard University

Let me begin with the fertilization of eggs in the mating of a rooster with a hen.

Birds, like mammals, use internal fertilization.

Many species of birds lack a penis; instead, the male just has a genital opening (cloaca), which must be positioned against the female's genital opening (also called a cloaca) for sperm transfer.

Male chickens, however, do have a small penis to facilitate mating. In any case, after copulation, which only lasts a few seconds, the sperm quickly swim up the oviduct toward the ovary. The sperm can stay alive in the oviduct for several weeks, ready to fertilize the next egg cell (oocyte) that appears.

Oocytes are produced in the ovary, packaged with yolk within a thin protein membrane, and released one at a time into the funnel-like infundibulum of the oviduct. The oviduct is a tubular passageway leading from the ovary to the outside world. It is also an assembly line in which the various layers of the egg are constructed. After an oocyte-yolk package is released into the infundibulum, it lingers there for about 20 minutes.

If sperm are present, then the oocyte is fertilized and becomes an embryo. But if no sperm are around (that is, if the hen has not mated), then the egg still proceeds down the assembly line of the oviduct. In this assembly line, albumen (egg white) is added around the yolk, shell membranes are added, and the shell itself is constructed. Finally, the complete egg is pushed through the vagina and out the cloaca.

If the egg has been fertilized, then the embryo inside has already divided several times but remains a group of unspecialized cells. When the egg is incubated at about 37 to 38 °C, the embryonic cells differentiate to form a chick, which will hatch after 21 days. If the egg has not been fertilized, then the oocyte within will never grow or divide, and the egg will never hatch. The eggs you buy at the supermarket are eggs that have never been fertilized.

Domestic chickens lay one egg every 26 to 28 hours (about one egg a day) for a period of 4 to 6 days. In between periods of egg laying, the hen rests. Wild birds may rest for months before laying more eggs, but domestic hens, specially bred for abundant egg production, may rest for as little as 1 day between egg-laying periods. Note that hens will lay eggs even without mating with a rooster.

Commercially, if the goal is to produce eggs, then hens are kept away from roosters, and eggs are collected as they are laid. If the goal is to produce poultry meat, then hens are mated with roosters, and the eggs are incubated to give rise to chicks. Of course, even a farm that produces only eggs will need to have some matings to replace the hens that grow too old to lay eggs.

Chicken and Duck

Chicken and ducks? Do they have penis ?
Must they have sex or the female just laid the eggs naturally?

Our coffeeshop debate yesterday! Nobody seems to have the answers… and the duck stall owner suddenly didn’t seemed to have seen a duck penis too…..

Answers to be revealed...

What i have learnt

I realised nothing that is said out can be retrieve back as well as what you said out should be carefully mouth. And why when all in actual good intentions as in honest intentions have turned out to be wrong intentions by the other’s eyes. Assumption and lack of communication caused a whole lot of misunderstanding and in further delay, a mountain of conflict you find in a point of moment unsolvable if discovered in the later stage.
Talk words that comes out from the mouth is the most dangerous and knife-piercing weapon….
I learnt that it takes more than a simple word trust..
I learnt that we are still learning everyday
I learnt that no matter how hard we tried, our intentions might be misunderstood
And I learnt that no matter how sincere and honest our heart is to a friend, it will also be misunderstood
And I learnt that you could be best of friends today, and be a-quittances tomorrow.

做 人 难,

Its back to work after the weekend and again, nevertheless, it was filled with drinking and drinking. We had the family BBQ though and the post to come in a later!

And then I realised when I am in here that there is actually nothing to post, because what has been done has been done and what has been said has been said. So it was a moment of blankness suddenly and it gets like this so very often.

And in conjunction to the previous post,.. the quote of last night

I’m Feeling:

Instant Noodles

Normally, how we cook the instant noodles is to put the noodles into a pot with water,
throw in the powder and let it cook for 3 mins around and then ready to eat.
This is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles.
By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder,
normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structures of the MSG causing it to be toxic.

The other thing that you may or may not realized is that,
the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body
to excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles.

So the CORRECT method, which you may or may not know, is to cook the noodles this way :

1. boil the noodles in a pot with water.

2. once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.

3. boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire.

4. only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredient with the powder into the water, to make noodle soup.

5. however, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles n add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.

Hope this piece of information is of importance to your health in relation to eating instant noodles and please apply this cooking method with immediate effect.

The Eye Notes

Our Eye ....








This is what me Eye is seeing, the floaters specks of them, more in fact and vision has been poorrrr..

""What is retinal detachment?

The retina is the light-sensitive layer of tissue that lines the inside of the eye and sends visual messages through the optic nerve to the brain. When the retina detaches, it is lifted or pulled from its normal position. If not promptly treated, retinal detachment can cause permanent vision loss.In some cases there may be small areas of the retina that are torn. These areas, called retinal tears or retinal breaks, can lead to retinal detachment.""

""Facts About Floaters

Floaters are little "cobwebs" or specks that float about in your field of vision. They are small, dark, shadowy shapes that can look like spots, thread-like strands, or squiggly lines. They move as your eyes move and seem to dart away when you try to look at them directly. They do not follow your eye movements precisely, and usually drift when your eyes stop moving.
In most cases, floaters are part of the natural aging process and simply an annoyance. They can be distracting at first, but eventually tend to "settle" at the bottom of the eye, becoming less bothersome. They usually settle below the line of sight and do not go away completely. Most people have floaters and learn to ignore them; they are usually not noticed until they become numerous or more prominent. Floaters can become apparent when looking at something bright, such as white paper or a blue sky.""

"""For people who have floaters that are simply annoying, no treatment is recommended.

On rare occasions, floaters can be so dense and numerous that they significantly affect vision. In these cases, a vitrectomy, a surgical procedure that removes floaters from the vitreous, may be needed.

A vitrectomy removes the vitreous gel, along with its floating debris, from the eye. The vitreous is replaced with a salt solution.

Because the vitreous is mostly water, you will not notice any change between the salt solution and the original vitreous.

This operation carries significant risks to sight because of possible complications, which include retinal detachment, retinal tears, and cataract.

Most eye surgeons are reluctant to recommend this surgery unless the floaters seriously interfere with vision."""

The eye is so fragile isn't it..

Our Head Weighs about..........

If I did hear correctly this morning over the radio, our head weighs about 16 kilograms by itself.

What a strong neck we have to have the responsibility to stand a 16 kilograms head! Amazing isn’t it. Me bowling ball is only 12 pounds which means is 5.44 kilograms, a 16 kilogramms of head would be around 35 pounds!
gOODness……

While the naked eye seemed perfect, the eye sight is not getting any better though till I have visited Dr Tay. I must have dreaded myself being over weight and getting the unbreakable fats so much that I woke up in the night feeling bloated, fat and appalling that I couldn’t sleep for an hour or so until I felt so tired at 6am and of course, over slept myself.

Atheism

Take a little time. A little long thought but This is good…

Atheism

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, the Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and serve the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, and smelled your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes, faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat.But we don't have any thing called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can'tgo any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absenceof heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence ofit.

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, brightlight, flashing light.... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it is called darkness, isn'tit? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life andthen there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this processis an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?(

(The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelled it?..... No oneappears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrableprotocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student: That is it, sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.Guess who that young man was ?
