男生 vs 女生, 思维方式大不同

男生和女生思维方式大不同，差别那么大。。

男生 vs 女生

终于明白 Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus 的真正意义。。

最近换了新发型, 把一头直发电成了卷发。。

女生A : 哇,有人换了新发型!
女生B : 新发型好好看,哪里弄的?
女生C : 不错哦, 终于肯换发型了! 

可是男生的话。。。

男生A : 你头发还好吗? 怎么那么乱?
男生B : 你需要绑一绑你的头发吗 ?
男生C : 最近很忙蛤? 头发那么乱。。

@_@ 直发和卷发真的差好多，哪有那么难分辨？

医院里的那些事~

医院里的那些事~

诊所来了一个华人病人和两名家属。我很习惯地问了问病人想要用什么语言交谈，毕竟语言互通才是最重要的。

病人告诉我他能听懂华语，可是老婆只会广东话，我说好的，然后再看看病人儿子，他看着我，默默地用英文告诉我，他只懂英文。。

心想：家里人都用什么话交谈？好奇的问了问，原来在家都说福建话！可是我不会说福建话呀！

最后，大家可以想像我利用三种语言（华语，广东话和英文）交替地和病人和家属“畅谈”。。

饮食治疗师的日常。。

饮食治疗师的日常。。不知道大家有没有很熟悉。。

我：你们好，我是营养师，医生说病人的蛋白质社区不足，让我来看看病人。

病人家属：谢谢你的好意，我们不需要，我经常准备很多高蛋白的食物给我儿子。

我：请问病人胃口如何？吃得下食物吗?

病人家属：还可以，还可以。我们不需要见营养师。
（妈妈拼命摇着双手，拼命的拒绝我）
我们没有钱买。。

 我纳闷了，我说要卖东西了吗？

PS: 外界对饮食治疗师的职务都不熟悉，以为我们是推销员，在此，要告诉大家：
1. 饮食治疗师不推销产品，只是针对性地给于饮食治疗提案。
2. 医院不允许推销员进入病房推销产品。

大家放心好了。。


Not sure if some of you will find this familiar....

I : Hi, i'm dietitian, I was informed that your protein intake is inadequate, i'm coming to see how to improve on your protein intake.

patient's mother: thanks a lot, it's okay, I cooked a lot of protein food to my son.

I : Can I know how's patient's appetite?

patient's mother: he's okay, no worries. we don't need to see dietitian..
(mother was reluctant to talk to me.)
We got no money to buy...

, did I say i'm selling anything???

PS: Many people out there is not familiar with a dietitian's job scope. Dietitian is not sales person. We do not selling products, we only sell education. 

and the most important point is, hospital does not allow sales person to get into wards.

Toluna redemption

I signed up in Toluna for about one year already. For those who never know what's Toluna, it's a website for you to answer survey questions and allow you to earn from points from there. After that, you can redeem the points for something you want. I like Toluna as it provides more variety of gifts and rewards as compare to other survey website.

Well, even though I joined for quite some time, and able to accumulate many points but I never think of redeem items from the points I gained until recently. Guess what happen that make me made that decision?

I just found out that the points that we earned from answering the survey question will go expired after some time. I never notice it. So sad to share with you all that I actually lost quite a number of points before this as I never notice there is deduction in the points if redemption is not made in certain time frame.

The time frame will be stated inside the account. Please be aware for those who never notice about that. Otherwise, all your effort will be down to the drains.

Check out the redemption I made. I chose to get the AEON vouchers (worth RM20) with the redemption of 16000 points. There is no expiry date on the vouchers, is that mean there will be no dateline for the redemption? cool then... I can use it any time I want,

Apart from that, you can redeem vouchers from Isetan, Zalora, Lazada, Giant and many many others. If you prefer to get the cash, you can cash it out from Paypal. It's quite convenient and easy to do. 

This is the website of the Toluna. Welcome you all to join me (overall, you still able to earn some out of it!)...

Korean Fried Chicken ~ Kyo Chon 1991

Many thanks to my sister who won the RM20 voucher of Kyo Chon....

Because her active participation in Facebook recently, she managed to win the voucher. Well, this is better than none.. For those who went Kyo Chon before, you should know their fried chicken is quite pricey. This RM20 meant a lot... LOL... 

At this moment, only one Kyo Chon is available in Malaysia, which is currently located in One Utama Shopping Mall. I heard there will be more Kyo Chon opening soon, but unsure of the location. 

Korean artist, Lee Min Ho is the ambassador of Kyo Chon. You can see a lot of his photo in the shop. 

Well, that's including the take away packaging.., LOL... for Lee Min Ho's fans, you are welcome to take away the food in order to bring back Lee Min Ho. 

These are the food that we ordered. There are new menu and promotions available, compare to my first visit in Kyo Chon, which only served ala carte signature chicken. They are more like a set meal now. 

I find these menu are much worthy, as they already include the signature chicken, rice, salad, soup and drinks , all in one. You can check them out in their menu online as well. 

I ordered their Original chicken, Red Series Chicken and Honey Series chicken. You can mix them with different flavors. 

The original chicken has nice aroma. While the one that I like most is the honey series, sweet and crispy. Love that!!! 

One reminder for those who cannot take spicy food, please do not order their red series. The spiciness is beyond what you can imagine. It was too spicy and hot, which will cause burning sensation at your lips and tongue. 

My advice, try it if you dare~ LOL... 

童年回忆 - 巧克力棒

年终都有作不完的东西，好累！所以更新也慢了许多。

前天逛街时看见日本款的巧克力棒，就突然觉得嘴馋，再加上商店还在做特价，当然要买来一饱口福！不过这当然比我们小时候吃的还贵，没办法，看见包装上那些你我都看不懂的字，就知道它不是本地产。

进去商店就只买了这个，真不好意思！不过这也花了我四令吉，不便宜啊！

里面的分类和我小时候吃的多了一样，像是小颗粒状的糖（我也不清楚那是什么，总之就是甜甜的，像糖的小东西）。

这款巧克力棒的巧克力还真不是普通的好吃，巧克力还是半液体状的，一下就粘上了饼棒。回想小时候的记忆，以前的巧克力都硬邦邦的，还要用力戳才吃的到。

好了，这是最近的小小缅怀。。

A simple story of my patient in clinic

I saw a patient earlier. At first, I feel weird as he came to the group education before, but he never control his food intake. He seems to have very poor understanding of the diet control on the hypercholesterolemia,

He was telling me that he takes nasi lemak and roti canai quite frequently. I was quite pissed off and disappointed at the beginning, as I felt like my advices are all down to the drain. But in the end, I'm kind of relieved and happy. Well, we cannot easily judge a book by its cover.

I ask this patient why he never follow, he said he had problem to follow, lack of discipline, perhaps. but then I found out that he had limited understanding on the diet control, which mean, he literally did not understand or perhaps remember the diet advises given to him during the group education.

Well, I need to admit that when group education is carried out, it's hard for me to target everyone's need and make sure everyone can follow the flow of it. This patient seems to come from low educational status. That's why he cannot remember or understand whether what he took currently is under controlled or not.

I'm actually happy to find out the reason as he is still coming back to me to ask further about the diet control, even though I need to repeat the whole same thing on low cholesterol diet to him. He was motivated to come back and see me, as he knew he was not doing correctly. He working as a guard in swimming pool and he seems unable to understand thing fast. He cannot recognise many high cholesterol food, not even the common one, like fried food and skin.

However, I'm proud of this patient as he is willing to come back and asked for an individualised diet advises, as he really worried about his own health. He also informed me that he did boxing as his exercise, which is his favourite thing to do whenever he's free during his working hours. Guess he had nothing to much to do while guarding the swimming pool.

Counsel patient is never an easy job, A lot of time and effort needed in order to find out patient's need. As for this patient, I need to explain in the most simplest way so that I can ensure he understands what I am talking about. But I'm proud of him, many patients out there are well educated, but when talking about diet control, they just simply ignore that. This patient can work as a role model for many people out there.

Bird Nest~ A gift from my patient

Good day to everyone~

Share something funny that happened yesterday to all of you. ( yesterday was busy to upload this, having busy schedule)

Can you see what's in the photo? For those who are not familiar with these, these are all bird nests.. The 'original' one... which you can still look at the fur in the bird nest itself. Check out the photo down here.

Below was the conversation between my patient and I :

Patient : Dietitian, do you take bird nest?

Me : No, I'm allergic to it. (thinking the next question is to ask whether he can take bird nest or not)

Patient : Really? Why you allergic to them? I have brought some bird nest, thinking of giving them to you. Bird nests are really good for health. You should take them. 

(talking while taking the bird nests out from his bag)

Me : Ha?? It's ok. I'm allergic to them, you can keep them for yourself. Or perhaps sell them, they are expensive. 

Patient : It's okay. I have plenty of them. I used to eat them, thinking of sharing them with you. Don't be shy, just take them. 

(he passed me the plastic bag with bird nests inside, while explaining how to take out the fur and impurities from the bird nests)

Well, I need to emphasize that I did reject his offer, overall, I'm not fancy of bird nests, but he kept on asking me to keep them. Therefore, here they are, with me right now. LOL.... 

I got bread from an uncle very long time ago, I got mandarin orange from patient before Chinese New Year, I got muruku from an Indian boy last time, and I got Subway vouchers from a patient just one day before this, but this is my first time getting such a valuable gift >> Bird nests!!!

Meaningful experience when seeing patient in outpatient clinic~ Haha...

Batu Caves Visit

This is my first time here... Batu Caves~

I went there after attended my Malay friend's wedding at Selayang. Since the Batu Caves is very near to the wedding I attended. I decided to visit there.

Well, actually I confirmed my trip there just because I wanted to avoid the traffic jam. The direction from Selayang back to PJ was so jammed at that moment. I preferred to make full use of my valuable time, rather than trapped in the jam, doing nothing, but wasting the petrol and causing pollution. 

I have been staying in KL for quite some time, pass by this place for multiple times, but never visit there.

Once you enter the place, there will be a place to collect your parking fee, which is RM2 per car... If you come with a bigger vehicle, the price will be different, the bigger your vehicle, the more they charged. Well, they did charge more for vans and buses, but I could not remember the parking fees.

Well, there are shops around the area, and nothing much left. My sister and I decided to climb up the staircase and see what's inside. There are a few hundreds steps of the staircase and we were so excited as we were able to make our way up till the top.

You will see a very big statue when you enter the area or when you are on your way to get into the cave. 

This is the view from the peak of the staircase. Nothing much to see, only the terrible traffic jam at the highways. 

What a hazy day!

Oh ya, a reminder here, female visitors with short pants and shirts are not allowed to climb up the stair. Perhaps it is a place for worship and females should wear in proper attires when visiting such place.

But another reason will be -- steep staircase! Yes, the staircase is very steep and if you are looking up while climbing up, you can easily see something that you are not suppose to see. LOL...

Therefore, a warm reminder for all female visitors, please wear longer pants and shirts when visiting Batu Caves, if not, you can prepare a scarf and cover up yourselves, just for protection. 

There is also a Dark Cave somewhere near the peak of the Batu Caves. There is extra charges to go inside the cave. If I'm not mistaken, it's about RM35 per pax. 

I peeped a bit and it was so dark that you won't be able to see a thing. That place had unpleasant smell, which smelt some sort like bats' shit. So my sis and I decided not to go inside. Felt creepy when you can't see a thing. 

Home Made Aglio Olio ~

New recipe this time~ 

I'm a big fan of Aglio Olio all this while. This has been my favorite or may be my first choice if I would like to go for pasta or spaghetti. The second one will be pasta with marinara sauce, then the least that I like will be carbonara sauce. 

Aglio Olio

This time, my big project is to prepare my very own Aglio Olio! 

I got some very nice, big fresh prawns for my Aglio Olio, thanks to my mum~ Love you mum... The prawns are very sweet and fresh. Fresh ingredients are needed for good food~ hehe... 

These are the ingredients of my aglio olio, simple yet delicious:

1. Spaghetti 

2. SmartBalance oil (well, the original recipe should be using the olive oil, but due to my laziness to purposely go out and buy, I prefer to modify the recipe)

3. Chili flakes 

4. Garlic 

5. Onion

6. Salt

That's all.... simple huh?

A lot of oil is needed to prepare this dish. I never know it until I prepared my very own one. I pour lots of oil, thinking that it should be enough at the first time, but I ended up adding the oil again in the middle of the cooking, as the oil is not visible after I added in the spaghetti. 

After heating up the oil, I put in garlic and onion, you can put more if you like to take those. I put quite a lot of them, well, I like the aroma of them... 

After that, I put in the chili  flakes. Some info for the chili flakes, I tried to search in hypermarket, in AEON and Cold Storage, and guess what? I couldn't find them in the shelves. Surprise huh? Not sure whether it is sold out or it is really hard to get one. I ended up asking opinion from my colleagues and one of them proposed using the chili flakes provided by Domino Pizza. She offered my some so that I can use them in the cooking. Well, the taste is amazing! May be I will use Domino Pizza's chili flakes after this. My advice, keep the chili flakes next time when you order your Domino Pizza. hehe....

Next, just put in the spaghetti and salt for the seasoning. As for the prawns, I just boiled them and inserted them last in the cooking, to preserve the freshness and elasticity of the prawns..

The photos above shows the aglio olio that I prepared for my sister and I.  I cooked extra serving for my lunch box the next day, but my advice is not to do so, as the taste is never as good as it is just freshly cooked. But overall, it is still much better than what I have in the cafe. I'm satisfied though... hehe... 

SLE Healthy Eating Talk

Throwback~

Sharing for all~

I was invited to give a healthy eating talk for SLE patients last month on 13th July 2014 at Malaysia SLE Association, Petaling Jaya. Well, this is what a dietitian does, provides nutrition and dietetics advices not only to individual, but for the community and public as well.

For those who do not know what is SLE, SLE is Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. It can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and other organs. Female will have a higher risk to suffer from SLE.

SLE patients suffer from different sign and symptoms. Therefore the dietary advices will be given according to individual problems. In this event, I was invited to share some healthy eating tips for the members, so that the patients can enjoy their meals more healthily. I will also share some photo during the event, so that you will be able to understand a dietitian's job easily.

共勉之~

我上个月13号被 Malaysia SLE Association 邀请给一个关于红斑狼疮健康饮食的讲座。这也就是饮食治疗师的工作。饮食治疗师除了针对个人的饮食习惯加以改善，也可以分享饮食讲座，让更多人受惠！


有人知道什么是红斑狼疮吗？红斑狼疮是一种自身免疫疾病，简单说就是自己的免疫系统对抗回自己的免疫系统，而且还会影响身体多个器官，包括：皮肤，关节，肾，等等。红斑狼疮通常发生于年轻女性。


红斑狼疮患者会有不同的症状，饮食治疗则必须根据患者的症状而加以调整。而我这次活动中则讲些健康饮食知识，让患者吃得健康均衡！在此也分享些活动照片，让大家多多认识饮食治疗师。

Meeting Running Man ~ HaHa @ Ha Dong-hoon in K-Festival

Well, just a throw back...A sharing for all...  I saw HaHa in Pavilion 2 weeks ago!!!!! It was K Festival event organised by Korea Tourism Organization on 8th of August. For those who likes K-pop, and of course for those who like Running Man, I believe you will know HaHa, one of the member in Running Man, one of my favourite artist.

Opening Ceremony

HaHa was invited in the event and both of my sisters were lucky enough to win the special zone ticket for HaHa fan meeting. Those winners were eligible to get autograph from HaHa. Well, I just able to watch from far since I didn't get the ticket. So pitiful.

HaHa Fans Meeting

One of my sister took the photo with my camera and due to her 'good' photography skill, these are the photo that I can share with you all. Hehe... hope she won't see this post... :p

Look at the crowd!!!! So many youngsters!!! I felt like I'm the minority there, well, I know I'm much older than all of them there. LOL.... 

Apart from that, a group of painters named HERO is also invited to perform on stage that night. They danced while painting, cool! Never think that can happen as most of the paint artist will take good care of their hands, and majority won't involved in something so dangerous for them, who knows what will happen if they fall and broke their hands when dancing. That's very brave of them. Really like this performance!

HERO

What a wonderful event to attend!!!
