A record of the worst chain of bad luck in my life, Korea trip last day:
1st, maybe due to the food I took the night b4, my tummy felt a bit painful.
2nd, the breakfast is super lousy, the sausages seemed to be uncooked, and the PRC tourists are damn rude.
3rd, no lunch provided, but couldn't find any korean food restaurant, forced to eat italian food.
4th, a bit headache in the plane.
5th, dropped my wallet with my IC, student card, student pass, atm card bla bla bla in the plane.
6th, passport chip faulty, won't let me through the machine, have to go through manual passport check
*****
Lucky two nights ago Korean airline people called and said they found my wallet with everything intact. Money oso still there, though I dun mind if they take it, only RM10 inside, most importantly my student pass, IC and matric card still there :)

The seven 'medical myths' revealed
LONDON: Reading in dim light won't damage your eyes, you don't need eight glasses of water a day stay healthy and shaving your legs won't make the hair grow back faster.
These well-worn theories are among seven 'medical myths' exposed in a paper published yesterday in the British Medical Journal, which traditionally carries light-hearted features in its Christmas Edition. Two US researchers took 7 common beliefs and searched the archives for evidence to support them.
The lack of evidence has been recorded in a study published in the American Journal of Psychology, they said.
The other 6 myths are:
> READING in dim light ruins your eyesight.
The majority of eye experts believe it is unlikely to do any permanent damage, but it may make you squint, blink more and have trouble focusing.
> SHAVING makes hair grow back faster or coarser.
It has no effect on the thickness or the rate of the hair regrowth, studies say. But stubble lacks the fine taper of unshaven hair, giving the impression of coarseness.
>EATING turkey makes you drowsy.
It does contain amino acid called tryptophan that is involved in sleep and mood control. But turkey has no more of the acid than chicken or minced beef. Eating lots of food and drink at Christmas are probably the real cause of sleepiness.
>WE use only 10% of our brain.
The myth rose as early as 1907 but imaging shows no area of the brain is silent or completely inactive.
>HAIR and fingernail continue to grow after death.
This idea may stem from ghoulish novels. The researchers said the skin dried out and retracts after death, giving the appearance of longer hair or nails.
>MOBILE phones are dangerous in hospital.
Despite widespread concerns, studies have found minimal interfernce with medical equipment. -Reuters.

Song: That's How You Know(Enchanted soundtrack)
Giselle:
How does she know you love her?
How does she know she's yours?
Man:
How does she know that you love her?
Giselle:
How do you show her you love her?
Both:
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?
How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?
Giselle:
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say...
"How do I know he loves me?"
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?)
"How do I know he's mine?"
(How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?)
Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know!
He's your love...
Man:
You've got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader
Each day do something to need her
To believe you love her
Giselle:
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true...
How do you know he loves you?
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you need her?)
How do you know he's yours?
(How does she know that you really, really, truely-)
Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words in
Just for you? Ohhh!
All:
He'll find his own way to tell you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know
That's how you know!
Giselle:
He's your love
He's your love...
That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
He loves you
(la la la la la la la la)
That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
It's true
(la la la la la)
Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic
By the fires glow-oohh!
All:
His heart will be yours forever
Something everyday will show
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know!
Giselle:
He's your love...
Man:
That's how she knows that you love her
That's how you show her you love her
Giselle:
That's how you know...
That's how you know...
He's your love...
