Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri - 1 Oktober 2008

Since now got time to update my blog so am writing again...This time, OCTOBER.
Bulan ni adalah bulan yang paling sibuk.Anyway, raya tetap raya.But am telling you all the truth about my feeling for hari raya this time...Excitement to celebrate hari raya tak berapa nak meriah coz am keep it for the so called "Family Day 2008". Lagipun tak ramai yang balik.
So hari raya pertama macam biasa, bermaaf-maafan sesama ahli keluarga dan Ayahanda tercinta, Md Desa Darus. So program macam yang biasa-biasa : makan-makan (banyak menu menarik since ramai yang tawar diri nak sediakan menu raya-laksa, rendang, nasi impit,soto,lemang), beraya ke rumah Mak Jah dan ke Jelai (kampung ayah-Mek,Teh,Chik) & Batu 14 (Mak Ngah & Pak Ngah)-beraya sambil melawat dan mengeratkan silahturrahim since only visit them once a year. Tapi yang paling best for me, doing my business at the same time...selling special t-shirt untuk "Family Day 2008". Habis dijual tapi takde untung...coz pelanggannya adalah adik-beradik so tak boleh mark-up price la...hehehe...

Benefits of eating PETAI

ADVICE FROM UKM MEDICAL DOCTOR

Little did you know ...... after reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at petai in the same way again!

Petai contains three natural sugars -sucrose, fructose and glucose. Combined with fiber, petai gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proved that just two servings of petai provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder petai is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way petai 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 among people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating petai. This is because petai 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(premenstrual syndrome): Forget the pills - eat petai. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anaemia: High in iron, petai can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the petai 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 petai 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: High in fiber, including petai in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a petai milkshake, sweetened with honey. The petai calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system. Heartburn: Petai has a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating petai for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness : Snacking on petai 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 the petai skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Petai is high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight: 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: Petai 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 petai as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In hoiland, for example, pregnant women eat petai to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) : Petai can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, tryptophan.

Smoking: Petai 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 petai snack.

Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine, " eating petai 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 petai and place it on the wart. Carefully hold the petai in place with a plaster or surgical tape! So, as you can see, petai really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.

So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A Petai a day keeps the doctor away".

Finally, got chance to update my blog...Since last August, takde chance langsung nak update tapi bila ada peluang, computer pulak buat hal...Anyway, since last update just to write about my quiet birthday but now life goes on....

September 2008 - Bulan Ramadhan yang mulia datang lagi, mohon segala keberkatan di limpahkan kepada semua umat Islam seluruh duni terutamanya seluruh my family. Puasa tetap puasa tapi kerja tetap jalan...Dari 5-7 September di PWTC, KL berlangsung MATTA FAIR 2nd leg follow by "Thailand Outlet 2008" dari 11-15 Sept di Mid Valley Convention Centre.

Penat memang penat apatah lagi nak curi masa untuk settlekan segala isu berkenaan dengan "Family Day 2008". Only on 3rd week of Sept, ada masa nak confirm semua dan berpuasa secara normal, maklumlah ke hulu ke hilir dalam 2 minggu pertama bulan puasa. Lagi pun cuti raya dah confirmed dari 30/9 to 6/10.

So, bulan September 2008, managed to settle semua perkara berkaitan dan ready untuk melangkah ke bulan Oktober...

My boss want me to be a TAT umbrella painter next MATTA Fair so we can save budget...hehehe
