A Confessions of an ex-smoker Part 3

I bought banana because.......

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression

According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS

Forget the pills -- eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.


Anemia

High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.



Blood Pressure

This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.




Brain Power

200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.


Constipation ( Sembelit)

High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.


Heartburn

Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.


Morning Sickness

Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.


Mosquito bites

Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.


Nerves

Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.


Ulcers

The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.


Temperature control

Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool! temperature.


Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.


Smoking

Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.


Stress

Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.


Strokes

According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine," eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!


Warts

Those keen on natural alternatives swear that, if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape! So you see, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. In fact, bananas have an exciting nutritional story. They are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. One banana has 16% of the fiber, 15% of the vitamin C, and 11% of the potassium we need every day for good health! When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.


Note: Entah laa boleh laa aku try dulu..

Skitch Of the Day : The yellow truck

Skitch this truck on the way to the office. Saw this truck going so far far away... try to catch up with the truck.. and hold onto the signal light and the rear end.. at first the truck driver keep honking.. while looking at the side mirror.. i just wave my hand to the driver.. i think he scared i might hit the truck.. but then.. i notice the way.. he drives carefully .. he kept driving on the left side.. and going a bit slow.. once come up to the traffic jam, i let go of the truck and overtake him.. i saw him smiling.. and wave at me back.. then i just gave him a thumbs up at the back without looking.. what a nice guy :). Managed to capture some pics.. while skitching.. if you noticed.. one hand on the truck.. another hand on my phone.. whos holding the bike.. haha .. look maa no hands :D

Going back to KL

Last week aku balik lagi ke Penang utk menguruskan proses pembelian apartment Gambier Heights tu...sambil tengok ayah mak aku.. so far so good.. dah nampak stable..and ceria mak pak aku.. Alhamdulillah.. hmm hari ni aku balik ke KL semula.. smalam singgah dekat Terminal bas Sg Nibong untuk membeli tiket pulang ke KL.Since aku jarang naik bas.. aku rasa cam gatai buntut pulak nak try bus yang dua tingkat tu.. tengok macam layan jer.. so aku beli tiket bas from Company Suasana Edaran lepas aku tengok brochure dgn bus dia yang agak comfort dgn macam2 service.Anggap laa aku ni jakun(bahasa utagha) or pe'rak :) naik bus macam ni.. mana laa aku besa naik.. alang2 balik tu biar laa aku merasa kesedapan keselesaan layan bus2 macam ni.. fuh.. macam naik flight dgn ada stewardess, driver bas pakai tie dgn topi macam pilot tu.. aku nak tergelak kejap.. tapi business concept dia aku respek.

Tiket bas berharga 55 ringgit .. dan kemudahan yang anda dapat adalah , Setiap seat mempunyai massaging chair, tiap seat juga dilengkapi dgn lcd screen utk layan movie, Games, dan disediakan makan dan minum.. quite nice dont you think..? sepanjang jalan aku melayan massage.. seat pun selesa.. movie pulak ada multi channel yang korang boleh layan ada dekat 10 movie kalau tak silap aku.. tak sempat aku nak khatam semua haha.. food pulak dorang kasi nasi ayam.. dgn mineral.. kira ok laa include skali dalam tu.. overall was a nice.. experience..

The double decker bus

The features :)


Semua duk melayan movie bila bus dah start jalan


aduh gua Kantoi.. amik gambo stewardess dlm bus


The food.. boleh laa janji ada makan


Plenty of movie to choose from


Game yang lomah skit.. zaman tuk kaduk nyer game.. alang2 letak trus PS2 kaa Xbox kaa.


Komplen punya komplen.. aku senyap jap.. duk layan Tekken 2

Sapa2 belum try.. aku rekemen korang try.. yang paling best massage chair.. confirm tak mau bangun dari seat punyaa..

Balik Kampung + Jalan2 Survey property DAY 2

Lepas subuh aku tak sambung tido.. dah lama sebenarnya aku tak jadi bodyguard n driver mak aku gi pasar pepagi.. kalau tak dulu pagi ahad saja aku dah jadi drebar and angkut barang2 pasar.. acctually niat tu lain.. haha pasal ade sorang awek tu tolong mak dia niaga kat pasar tu.. tu yang semangat pepagi tu.. tapi tu dulu laa zaman bujang2 aku tuuu hmm lama dah cerita tu ntah dah kawin minah tuu..haha..

Lama gila aku tak turun pasar Taman sardon.. brader yang jual ikan.. yang slalu aku join dia petang2 panjat bukit Jambul tu pun dah expand bisnes dia.. bukak dua meja jual ikan.. salute...tengok bisnes dia pun rancak .. ramai customer. Really love the environment kat situ..agak classic.. macam ala2 Sicilian Town of Corleone dalam Filem Godfather Part 2.. gerai2 kat situ tetap menten macam dulu.. walau pun dah beberapa tahun aku meninggalkan Penang mencari rezeki di KL.

Balik rumah, aku jadi plumber tak bertauliah kejap.. ntah macam mana2 kedua2 adik aku ni.. ntah laa.. repair paip bocor sampai patah sekerat..punya duk merengkuh paip tu.. aduhhh macam mana depa duk pulun buat aku tak tau.So keluar beli barang2 paip dekat Sg nibong hardware.. then settlekan.. payah jugak mula2.. sebab separuh paip yang patah tu tak boleh nak keluarkan kira last resort aku nak kena pecahkan tiles dinding tu sebab nak cari penghujung dia tukar abis semua.. aku cuba pecahkan2 skit demi skit paip tu at last boleh jugak.Kira balik kali ni at least jadi jugak keja.. fix kan itu ini.. cuma water heater rumah tu yang aku tak dapat nak settle sebab PCB board dia tu aku takdak idea nak cari mana.Maybe jalan pasar kat pudu tu mungkin ada...

Petang... aku bawak ayah mak aku keluar jalan2 pusing2 area penang dan pi survey apartment kat gambier heights tuu.... dah lama kot depa tak keluar jalan2.. So last aku singgah gi tengok apartment Gambier heights kat blakang usm tu..since owner dia dah ada :)... aku gi check rumah tu.. tempat dia quite nice dekat dengan semua facilities.. membuatkan aku lagi confident nak angkat rumah ni.. buat sewa. Sewa pulak boleh up sampai 600-700 standard tanpa fully furnished..facilities yang ada di apartment tu Gym,Swimmingpool, sauna,Surau pun ada yang paling penting easy access to Tesco,kedai makan,banking,Petrol station, laluan bas, Universiti.

Bayangkan.. aku amik loan maximum dengan umur aku yang masih muda ni.. 30 Tahun max. Harga rumah dalam 160K belum finalised and nego lagi.. monthly most probably dlm 800++. So
kalau aku sewakan, dalam 700 sebulan, Monthly secara logiknya.. aku cuma perlu bayar rumah aku sebanyak 100++ jer.. whoaa.. bulan2 bayar rumah seratus jer..?.Yup.. sebab.. monthly rumah tu penyewa yang bayar rumah aku.. bukan aku.. aku cuma fork out 100 jer bulan2.. pelaburan yang ok..?. Nak untung lagi..? insyallah tunggu lagi 5 tahun.. or 10 tahun.. value rumah dari 160k maybe naik jadi 170k.. so refinance balik.. anda dapat another 10k dalam tangan boleh invest mana2 simpan dalam ASB.. cagar sijil ASB buat lagi OD utk maksimumkan ASB.Macam2 boleh buat.... planning is the key

aku survey jugak umah dekat flat hamna dekat sg 2 tu.. gilos.. flat hamna tu fully furnished paling Koman(bahsa penang macam paling teruk) pun 700 beb.. itu flat tuu.. kawasan pun macam tak brapa ok.. tapi location dia yang dekat dgn Universiti Sains Malaysia tu yang membuatkan value dia naik.. bayangkan how the properties value di penang cepat gila naik.. flat tu dua bilik jaa.. square feet pun kecik.

So aku amik few pics dari survey aku

Swimming pool area, ada BBQ area
