Wow! What a beautiful and inspiring lecture. A dying professior gave his last lecture to his student for the last time. Actually he wrote the lecture for his three little children for them to watch when they are older. (sob sob)

Malaysian 12th GE- Big Day on Saturday.
“Ah, doing the same thing again at this time? You should go for a walk around the block or something different while Billy is in school.” That’s what my hubby said to me this morning after Billy left for school. He must have noticed the quietness in the house as normally he went to work before Billy’s school van came. I told him that he is probably right but I would like to reserve this precious 3 hours to do blog …...haha! But it might be changing in the spring. We will see.
But for now, I would like to make use of my 3 hours quiet time to work on my blog. I still have a few tags and Meme to work on. Hopefully I could get it all done this weekend or at least sometimes next week.
Oh yeah, folks back home are going to the poll on Saturday. Yeah!!!!! It’s the 50th GE for Malaysian. Even though I am so far away from home, I could feel the heats from the GE. For months, the GE’s topic was part of the conversation every time I talked to my dad on the phone. Lot of interesting events are happening in our home town right now. The incumbent candidate for our home town is our family friend and the other candidate is somewhat related to us. But it does not really matter much as it is obvious that my family will be voting for the candidate with integrity and dignity.
Saturday morning, I would be sitting in front of my laptop looking for the poll results and definitely would call my family back home. It gonna be so exciting as all my sisters (except the one in singapore) and brother would be at my parents. Normally they would also invite some friends and cousins over while waiting for the poll results on television. It’s once in five years interesting get together of course…..haha!
Hope all the elected candidates on Saturday evening would highly appreciate the people mandates for them and works hard to make Malaysia a better country.

My Weekend Task
My hubby had been nagging me to shorten his new jeans for several weeks. We bought him 3 pairs of jeans when we went to the mall last month and had been sitting in the closet since. I told my dear hubby I would shorten it for him sometime. Otherwise, we had to send it to the tailor and would cost us about $11 or so for each pair. So that would be $30++ saving for us if I could do it for him.
But boy oh boy, are men nagging worse than women. For several weeks, most popular Q & A in the house particularly in the morning was 'honey, when are you going to shorten my pants?' and of course the popular answer, ‘don’t worry hon, I would do it sometimes soon.' I was not sure who became irritated more on that Q & A session (LOL). Yeah…yeah, I know, it’s been several weeks already ……haha!
So last weekend, I decided it’s time to get our peaceful morning back. Time to get the job done….haha. The challenging part, it had been almost a decade since I used sewing machine and to get my new sewing machine to work for the first time since I had it 5 months ago. Furthermore, it’s thick jeans I have to alter. Huh! So I did not blame my dear hubby for not have full confidence in me to get the job done. I determine to show him I can do it. So it’s pretty crucial for me to get this first job done successfully.
Ultimately, I had it all done within a few hours. It was not as hard as I thought it would be. Pheeew! And I love my new sewing machine. It works so good and easy, much easier than the one I had many-many years ago. I am very happy with it. If you are looking for a sewing machine, you might want to consider Singer 7442. It cost only $197+. Reviews on it are very good. That’s the reason I had chosen it amongst others at the first place.
Glad I had it all done now. So no more irritating morning for me and I guess for dear hubby too. :-))

Handbag
Have you ever noticed gals who sit their handbags on public toilet floors, then go directly to their dining tables and set it on the table? Happens a lot!
It's not always the 'restaurant food' that causes stomach distress. Sometimes 'what you don't know will hurt you'!
Read on...
Mom got so upset when guests came in the door and plopped their handbags down on the counter where she was cooking or setting up food. She always said that handbags are really dirty, because of where they have been. It's something just about every woman carries with them. While we may know what's inside our handbags, do you have any idea what's on the outside?
Women carry handbags everywhere; from the office to public toilets to the floor of the car. Most women won't be caught without their handbags, but did you ever stop to think about where your handbag goes during the day. 'I drive a school bus, so my handbag has been on the floor of the bus a lot,' says one woman. 'On the floor of my car, and in toilets.' 'I put my handbag in grocery shopping carts and on the floor of the toilet,' says another woman 'and of course in my home which should be clean.'
We decided to find out if handbags harbor a lot of bacteria. We learned how to test them at Nelson Laboratories in Salt Lake, and then we set out to test the average woman's handbag. Most women told us they didn't stop to think about what was on the bottom of their handbag. Most said at home they usually set their handbags on top of kitchen tables and counters where food is prepared. Most of the ladies we talked to told us they wouldn't be surprised if their handbags were at least a little bit dirty. It turns out handbags are so surprisingly dirty, even the microbiologist who tested them was shocked.
Microbiologist Amy Karen of Nelson Labs says nearly all of the handbags tested were not only high in bacteria, but high in harmful kinds of bacteria. Pseudomonas can cause eye infections, staphylococcus aurous can cause serious skin infections, and salmonella and e-coli found on the handbags could make people very sick.
In one sampling, four of five handbags tested positive for salmonella, and that's not the worst of it. 'There is fecal contamination on the handbags' says Amy. Leather or vinyl handbags tended to be cleaner than cloth handbags, and lifestyle seemed to play a role. People with kids tended to have dirtier handbags than those without, with one exception.
The handbag of one single woman who frequented nightclubs had one of the worst contaminations of all. 'Some type of feces, or possibly vomit' says Amy. So the moral of this story is that your handbag won't kill you, but it does have the potential to make you very sick if you keep it on places where you eat. Use hooks to hang your handbag at home and in toilets, and don't put it on your desk, a restaurant table, or on your kitchen countertop.
Experts say you should think of your handbag the same way you would a pair of shoes.
'If you think about putting a pair of shoes onto your countertops, that's the same thing you're doing when you put your handbag on the countertops' - Your handbag has gone whereindividuals before you have sneezed, coughed, spat, urinated, emptied bowels, etc! Do you really want to bring that home with you? The microbiologists at Nelson also said cleaning a handbag will help. Wash cloth handbags and use leather cleaner to clean the bottom of leather handbags.
