How does egg yolk turn into a chick?

2009-12-06T23:18:00.003+08:00

Overheard this uncle educating his son over dinner.

Chick = Egg Yolk + Egg White + Black Dot + Fertilizing

If there's a black dot in the egg yolk, it can be fertilized.
The yolk will then turn into a chick!!
I wonder, what's that black dot ....

Nostradamus - The Doom Prophet

I got to know about Michel de Nostredame (14 Dec 1503 – 1 Jul 1566) from Discovery Channel. He's one of the world's most famous prophecies author. Most famous for his book Les Propheties, consisting of rhymed quatrains (4-line poems) grouped into sets of 100, called Centuries. Nostradamus caught my interest by topping 2001 Google search of the week.

Suggestives for Judgement day - 21 December 2012

1. Mayan "Long Count" Calendar ends on 21 Dec 2012. Marking off the end of a 5,126-year era.

2. In 2012 there will be an alignment of sorts with the center of our galaxy. About once every 26,000 years the sun will appear to rise in alignment with the center of the Milky Way.

3. Sun will be at “solar maximum” in that year, sun spots and solar flares will be very active, which really can cause problems. Such activity can disable and damage satellites and can have a dramatic effect on the Earth’s weather.

However, above suggestives are based on past patterns of such activities, but we have no way of knowing whether it will occur and how severe it'll be if it really happens.

Next potential judgment day will be in 2040 when all nine planets of our solar system line up in a straight line for the first time in hundreds of thousands of years.

Using Vodka as an excuse?
There was this former Polish MP whom escaped a drink-driving offence after telling cops he had only been using Vodka as mouthwash. Claiming that he had not actually swallowed any alcohol, and had only rinsed his mouth with "Jogobelka" - A popular local mixture of Vodka & mustard.

So to my friends out there, try to have Vodka as your last drink of the night, it serves as a great mouthwash! And you can probably replace your home's cleaning detergents with Vodka if its cheaper... =)

Teeth & Gums

2009-08-05T21:33:00.012+08:00

I didn't know many people around me have bleeding gums problem until me and my colleagues touch on the topic over lunch. At least that wasn't a problem for me. Doctor always tells me: "Your gums are Very Healthy!!! Keep it up! But you have decaying tooth..." -_-
Why do i have such healthy gums? Truth is, i don't know. I guessed like what my colleagues said, everyday i spend time brushing my gums rather than my teeth. Leaving me with healthy gums but decaying tooth. Hahaa!!

Decayed tooth treated with different dental fillings -Porcelain, Amalgam or Gold
- Porcelain as the name tells, the material is same color as your tooth.
- Amalgam is mercury alloy is silver in color. (For those people who's like me, had no choice but to be treated by primary school dentists, we can only blame ourselves for not taking care of our teeth.)
- Gold, is for grannies. =)

Small prevention to tooth decay:
1. Drink beverage with a straw (Keep sugar and acid from soda or coffee off your teeth and gums)
2. Avoid lollipops or hard candies that sits in your mouth. These take a long time to eat and ensures that the sugar will get into every nook and cranny between your teeth and gums. If you really want to eat something sugary, just eat it and get it over with. <- I don't take sweets....=\
3. Brush after meals to remove sugars or bacteria. Brush gently to avoid hurting the enamel. Floss and use fluoride rinse daily.
4. Visit dentist twice a year. O ya, change your toothbrush every 3months. I love investing in toothbrush, it's something i'll use everyday so it's definitely worth it.

Toothbrush recommendation: Colgate 360 Deep Clean
It has slim tip bristles that are gentle to gums and my favourite part -
舌头清洁软胶! (Tongue cleaner)

Whitening toothpaste: Pearl Drops Beauty Pearls
Clinically proven tooth whitener - Whiter, shinier teeth in 3 weeks (twice daily). Helps prevent tartar and fight plaque. Doesn't contain any bleaches, safe to replace with your regular toothpaste. Contains a unique shade guide that helps you track your whitening progress.

Mouthwash: Vodka
Swish and spit when you've got a toothache and vodka will numb the pain as well as act as a mouthwash (Provided you don't swallow!)
* For other uses of Vodka, refer to Alcohols page.
