18th Birthdays

Yesterday 11th March is Nicklaus,my younger son's birthday and on the same day SPM result out.The name "Nicklaus"come from "Jack Nicklaus" the US golfer, one of his daddy most favourite idol golfer. I wonder if Nicklaus is born 8 years later maybe he's now call "Tiger" or "Wood".

The daddy brought a 1/2kg cake for show show only because everyone were be full after dinner.We go for Thai food,Nicklaus favourite food are otat otat,steam siakap, tom yam but yesterday my lil boy told his daddy to order what we like and not his favourite food because he don't feel like eating(eat dragon meat also no taste).

Well,I notice his eyes look a bit puffy, he got thru his SPM but was not satisfied with the result. He feel disappointed and he feel he let us down.

Nicklaus if u are reading this, remember we all love you ,we know you have done your best, you did well,those alphabet is not important, most important you PASS.

I work for this beauty company almost 16 years as a customer relation officer. Daily we deal we ppl either thur call in or walk in, some years back we launch a whitenen product for face,like always ppl start to call in for infor.
Here's one of tele-convesation between an indian man and me:

ME: Good afternoon, company name, me speaking, can i help u.

MAN: Yah, i want 2 ask u , that xxx product really can white our skin ah?

ME: may i know who is that on the line and calling from where?

MAN: nvm my name,i call from Klang, i just want 2 know how fast the skin can go white like yr skin.

ME: (thinking 2 myself, how u know my skin white or dark)o..MR my skin is not white,is skin color..

MAN: u chinese girl right!

ME: yes i'm a chinese..

MAN: yalah.. all chinese girl got white skin.

ME: OK, MR if u think so, MR what else u wish to know about our product.

MAN: this xxx cream can use on body or not.

ME: body we hv body cream, this xxx cream are for face only.

MAN: but i want to use for DOWN THERE.

ME:(OK, another pysco calling)ah.. MR this xxx cream is for face only not for body, for body u can try our xxx body whitenen cream.(pretend not to understand what he trying said)

won't be answering him and pass the call to our security dept, for them to handle.

This's 1 of those crank call i received, more to come later.. almost everyday we received at least 1 such call, some are funny, some are real irritating.

Frankly speaking, crank call are much easier to handle then those ppl who think they are more educated trying to speak like a person without tongue or tongue been be burn by hot drink or speak and roll their tongue at same time and yet feel very proud bcos they hv become "mat salleh celup".This kind of ppl really make my blood go upstair..

Bilateral Fibroadenomas

Back from my quarterly check up at Assunta Hospital, i have been following up this check up since year 2000. The Doc or rather myself want to monitor this lump (fibroid) on my right breast, every 6 months i have an ultra sound done to confirm ther's no changes in size or shape.

Why ultra sound and not mammogram screening actually mammogram is for early detection, but for ppl like myself who's already hv the lump is not advisable to do mammogram because it will be very painful when that machine compressed yr breast.
I did mammogram once and the pain i endure..omg

Fibroadenomas is some sort of mass breast tissue not properly form and it rather common for women to has it but the risk is still there.

Do self examination monthly 5 day after yr 'p' it take less than 5 min and that's how i found out mine...
