Stirred but not shaken

This month has been a tumultuous month for us in KL. We had the Bersih which was not so bersih after all, I mean really from campaigning for a free and fair elections to roiting? How deviant can you get!

Anyway, all the true colours have been exposed and all the lies unearthed, I mean having an audience with the Agong and NOT having the memorandum ready, as they say in my part of the world - aisaymen, sapa lu mau tipu.

As this is part of my ramblings I just would like to ask - how many private members Bills were introduced in Dewan Rakyat and since Kelantan's senators are from the Opposition - how many private members Bills were tabled in Dewan Negara. Hah say you, where can table bill in Dewan Negara, my rejoinder - woi baca ler perlembagaan. Only money Bills have to originate from the Dewan Rakyat.

Tu ler, demer nak nipu dan bedeah lagi - Berapa banyak Senator datang dari Negeri Kelantan selama 15 tahun ni -

Lagi satu udah dekat 5 tahun demer ader 82 wakil di Dewan Rakyat - ader ker demer table Rang Undang Undang berkaitan dengan tuntutan demer tu. Ader demer lobi Parliamentarian untuk tujuan tu? Ynag demer buat, caci mencaci ader ler........ hampeh.

Anyway another thing that has my gander up is the utter waste of money to be spent by the Perak Government. This time not by the POLITICIANS BUT BY THE CIVIL SERVANTS.

Gini story nyer - awok ader masok tender nak baik pulih pasar awam di Perak. Sebelum tu awok dijemput oleh PBT berkaitan untuk memberi proposal cara mana yang baik sekali nak baik pulih pasar awam tu, awok pun hire ler pakar pakar dan present ler ke demer tu. Dah present demer syiok ler dengan cadangan awok, PFI lagi, bila siap demer bayour teman ler. Sebelum tu demer kener ler advance 10% of my cost - nak cover bayour consultant consultant teman.

Demer pun syiok lalu demer mintak ler duit dari KPKT - luluih pulak - awok ader sekali maser presentation dan briefing tu. Moler ler masalah untuk awok, lat sebab guner Federal Fund kener gi tender lak. Awok setuju ler - tu sebab awok tender gak.

Tender punyer tender, short listed ke NO 4 dalam senarai penender yang pilih. Masok ler mesyorat dengan pihak berkaitan (duit Federal kan)... lat lat miker tau aper jadi......

Demer tu mintak kat consultant list semua penender dan teruih pilih NOMBOR SEBELAS DARI NOMBOR 13. Beza regher pulak tu RM400,000.00 dengan ada ruang untuk VO. (VO tu variation order) Lepah tu lak demer mintak 20% upfront sebagai mobilisation fee.

Awok punya RM6.5Million sebagaimana dalam proposal awei weh. Dah ler tu awok meintok pembayaran berskala 10% upon site possession 50% bila pasar baru siap Full bila ruang food court dan ancillaries siap.

Weh miker bayangkan ler - betapa stirred but not shaken kepercayaan teman terhadap demer tu. Mungkin bukan rezeki teman tapi bior ler bukan rezeki teman cara betoi bukan care gini. Lagi haru pelan dan konsep drawing teman di cilok nya dalam tender submission demer tu.

haru haru haru

gitu ler story nyer. Pecah tanah pulak 23 rehbulan ni.

Diabetes News

People diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes are often misinformed as to what foods they are supposed to stay away from. Simply listing a category of food isn’t enough as it is not always such a clear-cut case. Sometimes it is better to be much more specific so that a diabetic isn’t limiting themselves unnecessarily.

Sugar, for example, is a definite enemy. But there are many other places white refined sugar can hide instead of in the obvious doughnut or brownie. Your favorite condiments, from mustard to ketchup and relish are loaded with it. White bread is notoriously high in sugar. (Also, any food such as bread made with white refined flour is bad for you… it starts out naturally brown and is whitened by a chemical process which forms another substance called alloxan, which is known to destroy pancreatic function!) In fact, white bread breaks down into pure sugar before it can even be swallowed. Crackers, waffle and pancake mixes are also full of the “white stuff”.

You were probably told to avoid foods with a high concentration of fat, but what does that really mean? Avoiding all saturated and trans fats would be good, but this would take a lot of policing to accomplish. It’s almost impossible to completely eliminate all saturated and trans fats from your food. The best way to handle fat in your food, is to limit it as much as possible. Look at food labels and take into account how much fat is in each serving… not the entire container. This is the key.
Vegetables are good for you, so they can’t be on the list of foods to avoid… right? Wrong. Having a free-reign on all vegetables is never a good idea. First, you have to see the way the vegetables are packaged. Canned vegetables can still be high in sugar. Frozen vegetables can be stripped of vital nutrients with harmful preservatives added back in.

Even in their raw form, there are some vegetables to stay away from. Corn, certain types of squash, sweet potatoes and the dreaded white potatoes all should be avoided whenever possible.

Are you eating sugar-free products? You may unknowingly still be consuming sucralose, an artificial sweetener not recommended for diabetics. Read labels if you want to find the hidden ingredient of sucralose or other artificial sweeteners. Also remember, many sugar-free foods are not healthy for people with Type 2 diabetes.
Foods can also have another hidden danger: salt. Otherwise known as sodium, salt can inflict an incredible amount of harm on a body in a relatively short amount of time.

A major problem with salt is that it can be hidden in virtually any type of food imaginable. Frozen foods are laced with it as part of their processing. Canned foods, especially the seemingly harmless vegetables and canned meats, are filled with salt. This is what gives them their long shelf life.
Processed foods, no matter what kind you are talking about, are loaded with salt. The best way to identify the salt content is to look closely at the label. Remember to take into account the number of servings, and not just the salt content per serving.

If you want to limit salt, always go with fresh foods.
