Right way for the right cure

A few days ago my mum told me that, one of her friend’s family member who got diabetes has to cut off one of the leg. Actually many people have been suffered from diabetes, as now there is still no permanent cure which can help the patients to totally recover from the disease. Even so, there are still many medicine that can help the patients to release the pain and alleviate the disease.

For the patients are taking some medicine, they have to be very careful especially oral medicine. There come about some cases that oral diabetes medicine has caused some side effect like heart attack, heart failure, and an increased risk of bladder cancer. These people are still fighting for their compensation in the Actos lawsuit, regardless of the side effects that has been caused by the medicine. In conclusion, you need to be very careful before taking any medicine or treatment.

Tokyo Street @ Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

I just had a visit to Pavilion this afternoon. It's just opened yesterday and you may find many things from Japan from here.

About the price, since it's in Pavilion, and it's from Japan, you can't expect it to be so cheap. However, you may also find some lower price merchandise here. Such as Daiso, everything in the shop is RM5. The milk tea also you can get as low as RM4.90 per cup.

When I visited there, I watched Japan traditional dance and Kendo performance. What impressed me is the spirit and strong culture that shown in their performance.不需要太多的技巧和花式,不需要哗众取宠的动作,他们的每一个表演,都很浓厚地散发了日本文化的精髓和气息。

Some updates......

Here comes the second half of year 2011, and it's also my 7th month joining the Quality and Training team.

At the beginning, I was still thinking of my time at helpdesk. Always imagine I'm still taking calls, and sometimes I practice my call scripts too. Anyhow, after a few months here, I start getting used to working as a QA and I'm a 'part-time' trainer for Mandarin too... hehe...

If I want to differentiate the work as a QA and helpdesk, the most obvious part is, QA's work is quite routine. Every month repeat the same thing, when you finish one round for this month, the next round will be coming soon. But still it's challenging, especially now I have to deal with at least 20~30 different people every month. Not including the training and orientation some more.

Then do I like this job?
Eh... I can't say like or don't like. I think I still need more time to fit into my position.
The good thing is, I don't feel resistant to work.
I'm working in a great team, with great manager, great teammates... what else I'm expecting?
Maybe the next one I would expect is............... higher salary. hehehe

Quit smoking in correct way

I've just finished another month of the training. This time, only 4 attendees, but coincidentally, all of them are smokers.

Actually I'm quite sensitive to cigarettes. I can smell it if somebody smokes around me. Luckily my family members and most of my closed friends don't smoke. Everybody know how cigarette will harm your health, but because of certain reasons, they just feel like smoking can help them releasing their stress, or even some think that smoking can let them look smarter.

Nowadays, after the awareness of health, many people start taking some actions to quit smoking. However, if you are the one you have to find the right way, otherwise you will be ended up like those who involved in Chantix lawsuit, suffering from depression, suicidal thoughts.

Anyhow, as you understand that, smoking is not good for health. For whichever reason, just quit if you are still care about your loved ones.

Putrajaya Flower & Garden Festival 2011

I went to Putrajaya for the Floral 2011 last Sunday, this time we went at night. Last year my family also visited the Floral 2010, but since we went during daytime and also it was the first few days, the flowers were still nice and fresh, this time, especially for those used for decorations, are almost withered. Anyhow, I'm still glad that I had been joining the event.
