Getting Braces

My mouth is small and the teeth are crowded. Due to not enough space, two of my front teeth grow in 45%. I received comments from friends and colleagues to get braces. They said my face is nice but once I open my mouth / smile, the secret is out. Once I go to see a doctor for fever but the doctor comment on my teeth.

I am thinking of getting braces to fix my teeth for a long long time. When I was still in secondary school, my parents said my condition is not very bad and advise me not to do it. Besides, it's very expensive. Also, I heard about all the pain and troubles of those wearing braces. Thus, I put off the intention do get it done.

I already join the working world for 3 years now. However, I still yet to fix my teeth problem. One of the reason is because the price has rise to about RM3K-5K. Due to the increasing cost of living, I have trouble to fork out the expenses. Secondly, still need to visit the dentist about every month after that for 1-2years depending on teeth condition. Thirdly, I still afraid of the pain that I have to endure.

I was staring at the 2 boxes of LifePak that I am holding. Due to some reasons, I was introduced to this new product called LifePak. I opened one of the boxes and found that were a few small sachet and each has four capsules. I was informed to take a sachet every morning and evening meals. Even though I am still not sure about this product, but have to discipline myself to finish the 2 boxes of Lifepax because I cannot waste the money spend on it. I think to myself "I can handle this. Just take two sachet everyday for 2 months. Then you'l see the improvement on your health". Hopefully I have the persistence to finish them. HAHA!Some information about LifePax:

Consider Lower Cost Alternative for Petrol

One challenge that is facing our society is the increasing price of petrol, the impact on transportation and cost of living. As the price of oil has risen past US$100 (RM320) per barrel, the government is facing an increased burden in providing subsidized petrol and gas. In fact, oil price has hit US$110 a barrel because of increase in demand. The risk of supply problems and shortages could raise the price of oil even higher. Although Malaysia is an oil-producing nation, we can no longer rely on this supply just as we can no longer rely on subsidies.

As a driver, I can already predict the stress and pressure that I have to deal with if goverment increase the price of petrol. A friend of mine explained that one of the solution on how to save money spend on petrol is NGV. NGV stand for Natural Gas Vehicle. Natural Gas is an economic source than the other alternatives such as Bio-fuel & Hybrid car. It is the best alternative to petrol because:
1. Save up to 70% on petrol cost. (Petrol price is RM1.92/Litre but for NGV is RM0.68/Litre)
2. 25% or 50% reduction in road tax. (Government approved)
3. Lower maintenance cost.

My friend who is involved in NGV business has provided a lot of information in his website at http://www.ngv4u.com.

Acne Problem?

I don't have this problem when studying in secondary school and university. It all started after I join the workforce. Yes, I do have acne but only 1 or 2 and will be alright after a few days.

I am now in my late twenties and I have lots of acne breakout now and then. More and more blackhead appears near nose area. My face is also very sensitive and redness is around my cheek area. I also have oily skin and I can't life without a moisturiser because my skin will become hydrated. Most of my family members, relative, friends and colleagues have commented on my face condition.

One day, I've read from the internet that there is one regime which works for most people. I decided to give it a try. I've followed the facial routine of using the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturiser for Combination Skin since Jan 20, 2008. Due to frequent acne breakout, I have also added PanOxy 2.5 in my regime 1 month ago.

Time flies and it's been two months since I started to try this facial products. Not sure if it's due to stress, eating habits, constipation problem, environment or other reasons, all those acne continue to pop out. But after applying the PanOxy, it will make the acne smaller and smaller. However, the PanOxy will make my sensitive face with redness.

I decided to continue the regime for another month. If really not suitable for me, then I really need to seek professional help.

Who Moved My Cheese???

Most people heard about the best-selling book titled "Who Moved My Cheese?"
It is written by Dr. Spencer Johnson and is one of the most successful business book ever. It is a very short short and simple story that can takes only about 30 - 60 minutes to read.

It is a story of four characters who live in a maze and look for cheese to nourish them and make them happy. Two were mice named Sniff and Scurry. Another two were littlepeople named Hem and Haw. Everyday, the four characters will find their own special cheese in the maze. One day, all four characters find their cheese in Cheese Station C. Every morning after that, the mice and littlepeople headed over to Cheese Station C. They become very comfortable that they had found the cheese. One day, they arrived at Cheese Station C and discovered there were no cheese.

The mice were not surprised as they had noticed the supply had been getting smaller everyday. They decided to change because the situation in Cheese Station C changed. They quickly off in the maze to find New Cheese.

The two littlepeople were unprepared for what they found as they did not pay attention to the small changes that happened everyday. While the two mice had quickly moved on, the two littlepeople ranted and raved at the injustice of it all. Everyday, Hem and Haw returned to Cheese Station C hoping that someone would put back their cheese. One day, Haw realized that they keep doing the same thing over and over again and wonder why things don't get better. Finally, he realized they're never going to put yesterday's Cheese back and it's time to find new cheese. Thus, off he go to find new cheese. Before long, he found he greatest supply of Cheese in New Cheese Station N. He found his old friend (two mice) with fat little bellies which showed that they had been here for some time. As Haw recalled what he had learned, he thought of his friends Hem.
I found that the keyword of the book is "CHANGE".
Cheese is what you want in life - good job, loving relationship, wealth, or health.
Maze is where you look for what you want - organization, family or community.
Sometimes, things change and they are never the same again. That's life! Life moves on. And so should we.
