忍一时,海过天空?

Yo, what's up everyone? lol. I have been really lazy recently to update my blog. Since everyone updated their blog, maybe I should update update a little. haha. So what have I up to recently? Many things had happened regarding on my family. I think july 15th 2008 is our most pitiest day ever. Something about my landlord. Some of you may know it already, I better don't share it out here.

But because of that incident, we gained something. My family, without any plannings, decided to loan a house in sungai liang within just 3 days! However, it's still in processing with the bank. Maybe this is what called "faith" on owning this house.

Besides on owning the house, actually that house is too expensive for my family to live. So we plan to take the house as an investment. We will be moving to another house coming august. We rented a house in Kuala Balai, so you guys have to drive further to visit me after august 15th.

Maybe we should thanks to our current landlord on making all sort of silly movements that makes our path goes higher. Their names are getting more smelly as well, especially to the daughter. xp I'll be having my own room soon. But however, I only able to stay in my new room for 1 or 2 days? since I'll be having my studies sooner or later in UBD. Life without air-con. T-T and life without internet in hostel? I saw the promotion on WAVES, that $20 has unlimited access to the internet, valid for 1 month only. I never used it before, wonder if it would work without any registeration or anything. If not, I can bring over my Dst GO! Broadband router to online o... For hostel mates who are interested to share with the internet, I can charge them as well. Business business.. xp hahaha.

So, are any of you getting excited on the coming orientation? From what the seniors experienced, they knock their door to wake them up during midnight to gather together or assembly. Very fun right? By the way, this is just for those who are staying in ubd hostel. So, for those who are not staying there, you do not have the pleasure to enjoy this soooooo exciting game. =p

I think I will stop till now. Ohhh, I have downloaded a new game. " Virtual Villagers The Secret City" no time to play le... So see you guys around. Appreciate this post please, next post might be coming in 1 or 2 weeks time i guess. xp

Sleep

Today the stressy topic, I with honour will discuss something about sleeping. Sleep has always been a dark and mysterious part of our nature. All humans and animals need to sleep. God doesn't sleep, so do UFO? Why does a person gets tired and need a rest anyway? Same goes to animals. How much do we need for a normal sleep? What happens if we sleep too overly or too little?


The optimal amount of sleep for the average adult is 7 hours. A person will be having sleep deprivation if he sleep less than 7hours to 5hours. Adequate sleep is crucial to brain functioning. There will be no less so than air, water, and food. With an optimal hour sleep, he/she will probably feel refreshed and full of energy after awake. A person whom have enough sleeping hours can actually enhance on his or her learning and memory. Learning and memory can be described in three functions namely Acquisition, Consolidation and Recall. Acquistion refers to the introduction of new information into the brain. Consolidation represents the processes by which a memory becomes stable. Recall refers to the ability to access the information (whether consciously or unconsciously) after it has been stored.


Without adequate sleep and rest, memory and learning(concentration) on that particular person will be weaker. Overworked neurons can no longer function to coordinate information properly. Example, during exam period, student tends to stay up late for study, but the student will find it hard to gain access to his or her brain. I did tried it, it's just like the informations entered my right ear and out from my left ear.


Too much or few hours of sleep will not balance the air, water or food to the person. Lack of them will be taken in if the person spent too much on his sleeping hours. Take the example of me, I used to sleep 10 or 11 hours a day. Or even 12 hours. Once i woke up it's already noon. That means I missed my breakfast and straight to lunch. Or is it called brunch? With the imbalance taking of food and water, I might be having malnutrition. Weight lose might occurs? And so, it goes to health problems. In my opinion, a person who slept too much wouldn't feel refreshed but fatigue. It feels like no energy to do something so do memory and concentration.


Sleep deprivation can have serious effects on your health in the form of physical and mental impairments. Inadequate rest weakens our ability to think, to handle stress, to maintain healthy immune system, and to moderate our emotions. Insufficient rest can also cause people to have hallucinations. Many examples can be shown within dramas or movies. Just like when you have not eaten any food for one or two days, you start hallucinating there're hamburgers in front of you or any pizzas around. It's the same as you are over tiring, you found a bed in front of you to sleep. Other typical effects of sleep deprivation include:
  • depression
  • heart disease
  • hypertension
  • irritability
  • slower reaction times
  • slurred speech
  • tremors

For people who suffer from sleep deprivation are normally elderly age group. In fact, over 50 per cent of people over 64 years old suffer from sleep disorder.

Another problem with sleep deprivation is weight changes. Weight gain will occur. Because the amount and quality of sleep we get will affect our hormones, namely our levels of leptin and grehlin. Leptin and Grehlin are hormones that help the body control appetite and weight gain and loss. During sleep deprivation, level of grehlin increases, causes a greater appetite, and levels of leptin decreases. Making the person to feel hungrier.

At the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting in June 2001, Eve Van Cauter, Ph.D., reported that people who regularly do not get enough sleep can become less sensitive to insulin. This increases their risk for diabetes and high blood pressure – both serious threats to the brain.

Stress can affect proper sleep. For example, with A'level examinations, working or money problem that increase our stress level. Can we include relationship problems that causes people to have sleep disorder? With all these stress, that person might have the possibility to suffer from insomnia. Insomnia refers to the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep.

At Tel Aviv University, Dr. Avi Sadeh conducted a study of students. He found that those "who tended to focus on their emotions and anxiety during the high-stress period were more likely to shorten their sleep, while those who tended to ignore emotions and focus on tasks extended their sleep and shut themselves off from stress."

So people, do my readers suffer from sleep deprivation? I think many of you might be having too much on sleeping time? Sleeping too much has its problems as well. For example, it will mess up your sleeping schedule. Research shows that people who sleep at least 9hours a night will double the risk to develop parkinson's disease than those sleeping 6hours or less. Sleep deprivation can lead to increased accidents, worsening health and lower test scores.

Since you guys like to laugh at my earlier post, let u guys laugh till suang suang. I will be publishing stressing entry for you guys to read till you got the bored feeling and cry out, so stress one! hahaha... laugh laugh, laugh as many as you want first. =p

A stressing post actually has its difficulty and complication. Before making the readers to feel stress on reading, the writer have to stress 10 times as many as the readers on analysing, observing, and finally evaluate everything into million of wordings. Before making analysis or observation, the writer have to make many researches regarding on the stressful topic. So, my readers, should appreciate it... Laugh more on reading my coming stressy topic. =p

Anyway, this is not the stressing topic that i will start la.. Today i only explain about stressing post. I gonna try on one stressy post. Since my brain hasn't working for so long, i should stress myself i guess? xp I let you guys have fun reading first.

What is stress anyway?
Stress is the emotional and physical strain caused by our response to pressure from the outside world. Common stress reactions include tension, irritability, inability to concentrate, and a variety of physical symptoms that include headache and a fast heartbeat.

Any of you feeling stress or need any help regarding this topic on GP i guess? Can visit this site, here. Friends whom are stressed on their works, especially to those doing accountings? They mentioned how stress their work on. Actually I don't really understand about their stress, beside cutting off on the messy invoices or lost invoices?

Being cheated. -.-

Is the title interesting? Wonder will my readers get curious and think, " Eh? being cheated? how come oh.... =/ aiyo... what being cheated.. " Are you having this thoughts on mind? hehe. Ok. Let's continue~



My passport left one page only and the immigration in Brunei told me that if they chop the jamin pass, i cannot go anywhere else except Brunei. And so i went to my country, Malaysia at Miri yesterday to make my new passport. I went to Miri with my sister, my mum and my grandmother.



While reached Miri's Immigration, my sister dropped me there and told me to settle it myself. She said she want to bring mum change money this that. lol. I think she want me to be independent a bit, called me to ask people what to do. And so I just let it be, go there myself with my handbag and a bag of information for my new passport's use. Miri's Immigration moved to "Yu Lan Plaza", next to market. After stepping in Yu Lan Plaza, i looked around see whether there's any plate on Immigration. Found it and head straight to elevator to first floor.


Reaching the first floor, the immigration is just located on my right. It's so easy to find where it is. Then i get in to the department. I remembered my mum told me that i need to take form to fill in. And so after getting in the department, I look around. There's one uncle stared at me and like wanting to turn to me. I thought he's the security guard or what cause he got the formal wearing... I told him i want to do passport. He turned to the table, (table for filling form) and take out a piece of form. I don't know where he got the form, maybe from his bag or where. He asked for my old passport, ic, birth certificate as well. Then i open my bag and hand out my passport, ic those to him. After that, he took out his pen and help me to fill! He asked me to sit down also. I was thinking, why this uncle so good one? He help me to fill bo... or he help everyone to fill the form also? The uncle got long sighted lens, he hardly can see the letters from my IC or passport.


He filled the form very slowly and difficulty, ( his wordings very lousy also) till i wanna tell him i can help to fill de... But i didn't do so la. haha. The form has only one page and can finish it very fast. While he was viewing my passport, he said this kid so rich so young got passport for overseas. I didn't reply him, instead said in my heart, " eh? why security guard say these things de? "


After filled everything, he asked for my passport size photo. So i handed it to him. He looked at my picture and say something about my teeth! I said to myself again, " Why this uncle look at my photo o. " He handed me the form, and asked RM6. Got a bit shocked, i tot my mum told me only RM1. While taking out my money, the form is written RM1 !!! What!? Am I being cheated? Got a bit blur. Then he told me the form is 1 dollar, 5 dollar on the writings. -__-"


He asked me to go counter 12, i thanked him while leaving le... LOL


I went to the center, to let the people see my form, things that needed. He gave me number for me to wait to be called. While sitting, trying to look at the form that has just filled by the uncle. That uncle came to me to ask whether got anything wrong. I said ok. He asked me, " You know how to read malay?" LOL. Do i look like i don't know malay? I got credit for my malay le...


After a while, my mother joined me. I told them about it. My mother laughed at me, my sister laughed at me, my grandmother laughed at me also.... T__T
The number reached me, i went to the counter. My mum ask the lady where to get the form, the form cost RM 6? She said the form costed RM1 , it's located at the place where i get number. My mum told her about the uncle. She laughed also. T__T


That uncle... hais.. that's a way of business? I don't think there will be these "uncles" or "aunties" to be seen in Brunei immigration eh. Let me teach if any of you want to make money, take the opportunity to stand at Brunei's immigration, help people to fill in forms. Once per $3? or $5? lol


I took my new passport in the afternoon. After getting it, i viewed on my page. Scan scan scan.


Height written : 157 cm


-_______________-"


This height was 5 years ago... I am not that short anymore... T-T maybe i am now 159cm. That uncle copy my height from the old passport... T_T


My sister was so wanting to know how my dad or brothers react after knowing this incidence. My dad said, if that uncle ask me to follow him to somewhere to get form, then he kidnap me and sell me... LOL what la.. hais.


My grandmother's cat has passed away. I guess it's reaching its old age gua.. 9 years cat le...
