• Don't know how true but it sure sounds scary.....

  Wednesday, Apr 18, 2007 10:39PM / Standard Entry / The Unconfirmed

  Jessie was in her early thirties & like many of us loved to travel & her last trip was to Taiwan. While visiting one of the tourist attractions in Taiwan located near a temple, she decided to get a souvenir for herself. She walked along the shops with curious eyes. A well-dressed salesman managed to catch her attention. He asked her what year she was born. She answered politely. He further pursued to ask her the month she was born "June," she replied. As she answered, there was a sparkle in the man's eye.

  He quickly pulled out an item & put it in Jessie's hand & she looked at it closely. It was a small-sculpted stone, but Jessie could not make out what the item was. The man, with a serious tone told her that this small ornament was a very powerful item that could grant all her wishes, but she was not to tell anybody, not even her closest friends, boyfriend or parents that she had this ornament in her possession. He informed her to bring this item wherever she went & not to allow anybody to touch it. Jessie was thrilled & thought she had stumbled upon a great deal as the item seemed very precious. She asked for the price & paid for the item.

  Vacations like always were too short & she returned to Singapore. On the day that she returned, she felt very exhausted as if the life was draining out of her. She thought that it was due to the traveling & excitement & did not bother too much about it. She went to take a nap & as she rested, she started to feel an ache in her stomach that grew into a continuous sharp pain. By nightfall, the suffering was so intense that she went hysterical.
  
  She crawled to the altar in her home & started to hit her head against the altar. Her parents were shocked with her actions. Her father held her tightly, to prevent her injuring herself while her mother called for an ambulance. Strangely enough, in the midst of all the pain & before she left with the ambulance, Jessie insisted that she had to bring along her handbag before leaving for the hospital. When she was sent to the hospital, it was already dawn & she was sent for different tests & scans to determine the cause of her pain. The sharp pain persisted & even got more intense.
  
  Her Aunt Maggie heard the news that she was hospitalized & came to visit her. While Aunt Maggie was with her, Jessie thought about letting her employers know of her condition & hoped Aunt Maggie could contact them on her behalf. She took out her handbag & pulled out a pen to write the number on a piece of paper. As she pulled out the pen, the small ornament which Jessie had bought from Taiwan, dropped on the floor.

  Aunt Maggie wanted to pick it up but Jessie stopped her. She said if Aunt Maggie were to touch it, she would have to have it cleansed. While Jessie was not looking, Aunt Maggie quickly picked the ornament up & kept it. When Aunt Maggie was out in the hallway, she scrutinized it. The ornament sent shivers down her spine & she was very uncomfortable with the item so she decided to talk to Jessie's mother.
  
  On the third day, the doctors informed Jessie's parents that they had confirmed that Jessie suffered from stomach cancer that had reached the terminal stage & they had to prepare for the worst. Jessie's parents were not able to understand this sudden diagnosis, as Jessie had not had any symptoms of stomach cancer.
  
  When Aunt Maggie went to the hospital & met with Jessie's mother, Jessie's mother broke the news to Aunt Maggie. Aunt Maggie was shocked & also shared her discovery of the ornament with Jessie's mother. Jessie's mother also had an uneasy feeling when she saw the ornament. She felt very lost & desperate about her daughter's situation. Jessie's mother & Aunt Maggie both knew of a medium; Master Lim & it struck both of them that he might shed some light as to the events.
  
  Aunt Maggie quickly called to arrange to meet Master Lim. When they visited Master Lim, they showed the ornament to Master Lim. At one glance, he told them that Jessie's life had been swapped with that of another girl who was probably suffering from stomach cancer & was dying.

  The ornament was an object to hold black magic, which would suck the life out of Jessie. Both Jessie's mother & Aunt Maggie queried whether there was anything that could be done. He replied that it was too late as the black magic cast was very powerful & the ornament had been discovered too late.
  
  The black magic was targeted with certain criteria: The victim had to be a girl who was born in a specific year & month. The black magic would lose its power if other people apart from Jessie touched it. However, in Jessie's case the black magic had already taken full effect & had become uncontrollable. Thus, only direct family members were to be allowed to visit her & even to end her off at her wake. The strange ornament was left at the temple to be handled & disposed of appropriately.
  
  Silently, & with great pain, Jessie left by the seventh day on her return from her vacation.

  Things to look out:

  1. Usually you would not be instructed to keep it a secret about buying anything, unless magic is involved.
  
  2. It is untrue that other people apart from the owner cannot touch blessed items. People that you are comfortable with can handle the blessed items. Of course, it is not a good idea to let strangers or anybody who you are not comfortable with to touch any of your closely held items.
  
  3. It is quite common for people to ask what year you are born in when you are selecting items to suit your animal sign. If it is only to deal with Chinese animal signs, they do not need to ask for your birth month. If your birth month is requested for, you can always ask which theories they are following. For example, when selecting crystals & minerals according to astrology, we will need to know what is the birth month & day.
  
  4. Do not buy closely held items or jewelry from non-creditable people shops or organizations.
  
  5. Many people may have the misconception that black magic can only be cast on them if their eight characters (birth year, month, day and time) are known. Eight characters are not necessary to cast black magic on a specific person.
  
  I have shared this true account as a caution to all that it is important to exercise care when buying items, especially closely held items. It is important to know whom you are buying from, where you are buying from & what you are buying. Do not take things too lightly; else there may be much to lose.

• Asking The Right Question

  Wednesday, Apr 18, 2007 10:31PM / Standard Entry / Thoughts

  Jack and Max are walking from religious service. Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying.

  Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?"

  So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I smoke while I pray?"

  The Priest replies, "No, my son, you may not! That's utter disrespect to our religion."

  Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him.

  Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try."

  And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I pray while I smoke?"

  To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son. By all means. You can always pray whenever you want to."

  Moral of the story is ...

  The reply you get depends on the question you ask.

  For example, if you want a vacation when still working on a project don't ask for the holiday;

  Ask: "Can I keep working on this project while I'm on vacation?"

• Butter or Margarine?

  Wednesday, Apr 18, 2007 10:20PM / Standard Entry / The Unconfirmed

  Which do you choose?

   

  Pass The Butter ~ ~ ~ ~ This is interesting . . .

   

  Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys.

   

  When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.

   

  It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.

   

  How do you like it?

   

  They have come out with some clever new flavorings.

   

  DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter?

   

  Read on to the end...gets very interesting!

   

  Both have about the same amount of calories.

   

  Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats.

   

  Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.

   

  Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.

   

  Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!

   

  Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.

   

  Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.

   

  And now, for Margarine...

   

  Very high in trans fatty acids.

   

  Triple risk of coronary heart disease.

   

  Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol.)

   

  Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.

   

  Lowers quality of breast milk.

   

  Decreases immune response.

   

  Decreases insulin response.

   

  And here's the most disturbing fact....

   

  HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

   

  Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC...

   

  This fact alone should be enough for you to avoid margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance.)

   

  You can try this yourself:

   

  Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area.

   

  Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:

   

  * No flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)

   

  * It does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value

   

  * Nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weenie microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.

   

  Why? Because it is nearly plastic.

   

  Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

• Interview

  Wednesday, Apr 18, 2007 5:16PM / Standard Entry

  Tomorrow I have an interview. But it seem that the information by job agency is never accurate.

  She told me that the company is located at West Coast. But after confirming the information and all, I realized that it is located at Pasir Panjang. Really one end of the other.

  But I guess I should stop my pickiness. Jobless for the fouth weeks. But I'm just not willing to go into a job with the same old problem.

  If I encounter the same old prolem, then what;s the point of me resigning from my last job? I would have just stick to it. At least I have very good colleagues there.

  Even just now, Jessica called me and asked me whether I would consider going back. But I'm quite reluctant.

  Just hope that all well end well and that I would be able to find a job by next week.

• Depressing...

  Monday, Apr 16, 2007 10:04PM / Standard Entry

  Life has been depressing. After months of thinking and considering, I have decided to quit my job. It was a hard decision on my part but I think that there's no point in dragging since the job is not want I want.

  Till immediately after the Chinese New Year break, I tendered my resignation. There seem no point to continue to drag. But it seem that my luck is not exactly on my side.

  Initially, my friend informed me that she heard from her superior that her company is recruiting and asked me to go to their company's website or the job board to apply. I did but couldn't find the posting and when I checked with her, she is unsure of the situation and seem relent to check with her superior.

  Just as I was wondering how to go about it, one job agency called me up and informed me that one of the job which I applied, has reverted back and hoped to meet me up for an interview. And it turned out to be her company!!!

  I was so happy and excited when I knew that! This is because her firm is really a very established firm and in terms of everything, I like it.

  I was even shortlisted for the second interview with the Canada counterpart. It was almost a sure case for me. But unfortunately, at the last moment, they have an employee referral and ultimately, they choose the other one.

  I was told by the agency that it was not that I was no good, but that the other party is referred by colleague and thus, the company can save on the agency cost.

  I almost cannot accept it! I also have a friend working in that company and she could have referred me! But I guess luck really count.

  I known that I'm always cursed with bad luck. Should have get used to it. But I have not been showing enthusiasm for other applicants and this is the fourth weeks I'm jobless.

  Guess I'm should buck up or I'll end up penniless.
