It appears that this product is either fake or someone wanted to market it to the wrong people, and whoever did this is going to get in trouble coz, according to the below statement, there is an investigation going about this product.
DVLz, a reader of our blog, just commented with the following:
The ‘Pasar Fresh Pork (Air Flown)’, packed for NTUC Fairprice Co-operative Ltd, 680 Upper Thomson Road, Singapore 787103, is not Halal-certified by Muis. Our investigations at eight NTUC outlets on 31 October 2007, immediately upon receipt of this feedback from a member of the public, revealed that the said product did not bear the Muis Halal certification mark.
Please be informed that Muis is working with the police on this matter. It was reported by Channelnewsasia on 1 November 2007 that the NTUC Fairprice had filed a police report over what it claimed as an act of mischief to tamper with the packaging of the pork product.
I was about to sleep when I came across Don Veto’s post about a caffeine test. Its a test that determines your level of caffeine intake by measuring how fast you can click your mouse. Ofcourse me being me I had to take the test and do my best to click as fast as possible, I think I broke a record (and a finger). Now I feel too exausted and my heart is thumping I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep for awhile..
I find this article very interesting! I always hear stuff and complaints (mostly I do the complaints) about the restaurants service and waiters attitudes but I never really heard the other side of the story. Turned out they do spit and sneeze into your food if you launched a personal attack!
Here we go, 13 Things Your Waiter Won’t tell You:
1. Avoid eating out on holidays and Saturday nights. The sheer volume of customers guarantees that most kitchens will be pushed beyond their ability to produce a high-quality dish.
2. There are almost never any sick days in the restaurant business. A busboy with a kid to support isn’t going to stay home and miss out on $100 because he’s got strep throat. And these are the people handling your food.
3. When customers’ dissatisfaction devolves into personal attacks, adulterating food or drink is a convenient way for servers to exact covert vengeance. Waiters can and do spit in people’s food. Read the rest of this entry »
I like how sometimes its “I don’t need this piece of chocolate, I can totally live without chocolates” and some other times “I want chocolates. Any kind. Now.”
I don’t care much for desserts. Normally I would just buy chocolate bars from the supermarket and leave them. My passion lies in the savory dishes. But when I have those very few and far between cravings for dessert, mainly chocolates, I stop paying attention to quantities. Bad habbit, I’m aware. Oh well.
Actifed Duo is one of the best allergy medicines I have ever tried, even better than the mighty Zyrtec. It has double effect, acting as both an allergy drug and a running nose’s. I also love it coz I don’t feel drowsy/sleepy after taking a pill.
Am I the only one who still listens to the Aladdin soundtrack? I especially enjoy it when I can’t sleep, I just put it on and try to sleep and it usually works.. I love this soundtrack. To date I think it hasn’t lost it’s touch and is still fresh.
Speaking of sleeplessness.. Don’t you hate people who can’t sleep while the TV is on? I have a friend who cannot sleep with the TV or ANYTHING else on. Let me explain further more.. This friend of mine cannot sleep if the receiver displays the time, the bathroom-boiler’s light is on, the space under the door is letting light in, the mobile’s tiny light is blinking or the window’s shutter is not fully shut. Now, in all honesty, don’t you think people, like my friend, should get a training course on how to properly use their eyelids? 😛
I used to have issues sleeping, but it wasn’t the little details that made a difference to me. To me it’s about comfort. If the temperature isn’t just right I’ll have a lot of trouble sleeping. If I’m not laying on a comfortable place I probably won’t be able to sleep no matter how peaceful my surroundings are. Eventually I noticed this fact fully, and how it applied to myself. I got myself a black friday memory foam mattress, as I heard that those were the ones that could really make a difference for comfort. Well, they were right. I’ve been using mine for years and when I decide it’s time to get a new one I will get another just like it, if not better. I’ve also been taking medication from EU Meds, and it got rid of all of my sleeping problems instantly.
Going to the hospital all through last week in this country made me realize how lucky we are. We’re beyond lucky, We’re blessed and we don’t even know it.
We had to go to hospitals many times during last week and every hospital, doctor or waiting room we’ve seen (and smelt) was an eye opener to us all. Not only they’re understaffed, overcrowded, inefficient, stupid and retarded, but they also suffer from a serious lack of TIME-awarness! they don’t give a damn about the time the patients spend waiting inline. I mean.. we were in a hurry to get an injection, almost a routine injection, yet we had to wait inline for 3 hours just to get this done. 3 hours for a simple injection. Had the same thing happened in Kuwait we would’ve been in and out of the hospital in 10 minutes nut they required some tests to be ran so we were place in their hospital beds.
Nowadays is possible to bring help to any place that you want, this mobile medical trailer manufacturer creates mobile units with all the equipment that you need to take care of your patients.
The other hospital we’ve been to was something else, the doctor whom my brother waited so long to see was an english illiterate doctor. She knew nothing about english, english was an alien language to her. She couldn’t treat a goat if her life depended on it! let a lone a human being! which made my brother get up and leave, without getting the proper med care he waited hours for. Cardiology 3 may prove very useful in such situations.
You can’t go and get treated for a flu, cold, fever, broken arm, broken neck without waiting inline for hours. and I literally means HOURS.
It’s been raining nonstop here for a while. My immune system ran as hard and as long as it could, trying to take the cold weather, the rain and the fatigue of sleeping less than usual, and then finally, the day before yesterday, it gave up!
All day yesterday I was either asleep or trying hard to fall back asleep. Sleeping all day surely did its magic, coz I woke up today feeling good as new. I think the amount I slept yesterday really helped.
I hate cats. They make me sneeze a 1000 sneeze per second and my eye itches whenever I’m close to one of them. Now I wonder what would’ve happened to the girl filming if the cage’s door suddenly swung wide open? 😛
i found this site ewasfat which i think is pretty good and helpful for those of you who love to cook. Its an online recipes source, they claim that they have more than 1000 recipes. Most of the recipes are from the Arabian cuisine.
Note: At first I thought this incident happened in Kuwait, But I just read on another blog that it might’ve happened in the UAE. We don’t know where it happened, just enjoy the video, feel disgusted and move on! 😛
Last saturday I took a dip in the sea. The sun was as big as the sky, or so it seemed. The water was cold, I don’t know why I thought the water would be much warmer. Before I got out I rode the banana with 2 other guys. Its funny how one minute you’re chilling in the sea and next you’re on this huge inflated banana trying your best to hold on to dear life! But, yeah, I was the first to fall after the longest 5 minutes ever and To this second my leg hurts. mako layaqa. 🙂
Some of the guys I know really think they could get a nice tan in the summer, they use different kind of tanning creams to get that perfect tan, which never happens 😛 The idea makes me laugh really.. So, let me break it down to you. Average Kuwaiti guys when exposed to the sun for longer than an hour tend to end up looking like cockroaches lol don’t deceive yourselves into thinking otherwise.. ok? 😛
Yeah its gone. I had to contact the dentist office for info first, and went to the Dentist Belmont today around 9 ish and thought I was there for just another drill & fill job, but the doctor seemed to have other plans for me, He drilled, wizzzed and hammered for half an hour then gave me a mirror. I marveled at my shiny new tooth for a second, then he took the mirror away and started all over again.
I didn’t know he was planning on taking my wisdom tooth today! He never told me! All he said was that we’re going to keep the wise teeth till last. But anyway, I wasn’t about to put up a fight, I wanted to get rid of that tooth specifically (long story) so I agreed and let him start. Otherwise, Mark L Civin, D.D.S. can help. I thought it would take more time coz wisdom teeth got a reputation to live up to! but no, all it took was less than a minute and it was out. Although I think my heart stopped more than once during that minute, I think it went pretty well. It’s still thumping though. Get a safe wisdom teeth removal! If you also want to improve your smile, a dental office like Gentry Dentistry office can offer cosmetic dental procedures based on your needs.
All the way back home I was really mad that no one mentioned the possibility of getting Dental Implants Pflugerville. No one told me!
Now I have to watch what I eat, no real food for 24 hours, plenty of ice cream, no hot drinks and always rinse gently. I just took 2 panadols and 1 other great pain killer (Mefac). I’m not feeling real pain at the moment thank God.
I’m so hungry its not even funny. I’m gonna be cooking me some pasta for dinner, plain old white creamy pasta with chicken and topped with Kuwait’s favorite cheese.. kraft! Thats how much I’m hungry. The post’s sole purpose is to make you all as hungry as I am right now 😈
^ If you’re reading.. tara I need the patties’ recipe.. please? 😀
Yesterday I went to visit the dentist from top dental implant companies. I was really expecting the worst since I had gotten accustomed to my habitual services at Drescher & Cohen Dentists. But before going into that I just want to say something OT. The security didn’t let me in at first and told me the Mall is for families only. He didn’t let me in till I told him repeatedly that I have doctor’s appointment. And I was very angry when I saw a girl walking outta the mall all by herself with no husband and no parents! Now let me ask you this, since when a girl all by herself is considered a family? and when its a guy he’s considered what? a threat!? Its a stupid rule enforced by stupid people, agreed on by even stupider people leading ultimately to the stupidification of society in general.
He let me in eventually.
I went in, there was a bunch of girls there with burqas sitting in a cafe looking and smiling at the guys near them. other girls with burqas swaying around the mall followed with admiring gazes. another crowd near the cafe with a girl who just passed out. I think her friends thought she suddenly fell asleep, coz all they did was tap her face frantically and call her name, then they pulled her from her hands lol and dragged her out of people’s way. sorry, but it was hilarious.
Anyway. I went to the clinic and waited for less than 10 minutes. But while I was waiting I read about the dental history from Mark Civin DDS. The doctor was very friendly and almost a human. As I also managed to check the article ” Do My Wisdom Teeth Need To Be Removed? – Dentist in Idaho Falls, ID | Oxford Dental Care ” and got mentally ready, I told him that I want my 4 wisdom teeth taken out and a real thorough check up. He took a look in and then said “the wisdom teeth can wait. there are other teeth i’m more concerned about.” yalahwy!
Since there were lots of things that needed attention, we decided to start fixin’ the teeth based on priority. He started with the fillings. and did a real good job so far. He said we need a very concentrated schedule for the next 3 weeks. 😀 It is good I can request appointment online at https://thedentalspecialtycenter.com/ and they confirm it shortly.
Things that surprised me (keep in mind that it was over 10 years since my last dentist encounter in Franklin):
– for the x rays all he did was stick a piece of rubber in my mouth and point a hose-like object at my cheek and =click= we were done! I remember a simpler times when we had to go to the other room and wear bullet proof vests in order to do the x rays.
-When he said the word anesthesia. something in my mind went “SAY SOMETHING!” and I found myself smiling at the doctor and blabbering some words i don’t understand. The doctor then assured me that i won’t feel a thing. He took a Q-tip, put some pink gel on it and rubbed it near my tooth, a minute later that place near my tooth was numb, so when he injected me with that awfully big needle, I didn’t feel a thing. no pain whatsoever.
-A big hole was dug in my tooth and a big filling was put in and I didn’t feel a thing and I was able to drink and eat afterwards with no troubles at all. (see previous post 😛 ) Mashallah.
Overall, I was really glad that dentistry have advanced lol I was expecting a real pain and a very bleak experience. But they were very gentle and use the best water flosser, that made my teeth and gums feel amazing. But then again, I think I shouldn’t be all joyous and celebratory, I haven’t really gotten my wisdom teeth out which I will be seeing the dentist at Kakar Dental Group to get my wisdom teeth out. The dentist also advised to correct bite alignment. I will have to think about this and meanwhile I decided to learn more about this issue. Read here if you also consider orthodontic treatment.
I’m off to the dentist in 2 hours. I have 4 wisdom teeth to get removed and countless others to be treated. Aside from the time I got braces, I haven’t been in a dentist in well over 10 years. I’m going to see Drescher & Cohen Dentists, I’ve heard great things about these guys. Wish me luck! 😀
