Ada perbedaan antara pola pikir antara orang kaya dan orang biasa mau tahu apa aja itu ?<br />
<br />
Orang kaya dan orang biasa memang berbeda sangat banyak perbedaanya mulai dari gaya hidupnya sampai cara berikirnyapun berbeda. Nah berikut ini ada beberapa perbedaan antara pola pikir orang kaya dan orang biasa kamu mau tahu apa aja perbedaanya simak 5 Perbedaan Pola Pikir Antara Orang Kaya Dan Orang Biasa seperti dikutip dari situs detik.com berikut ini.<br />
<br />
1. Orang Biasa Berpikir Soal Menabung, Orang Kaya Berpikir Meningkatkan Pendapatan</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
“Orang biasa berpikir menabung agar uangnya melimpah, tapi terus merasa kekurangan uang,” ujar Siebold. Jika anda mempunyai pendapatan Rp 200 juta per tahun dan menabung 10% dari pendapatan anda. Maka anda akan mendapatkan 20 juta di akhir tahun. Ini bukanlah cara untuk memperkaya diri, dan anda tidak akan kaya dengan cara ini.<br />
<br />
Siebold mengatakan, orang-orang terkaya di dunia menabung juga, tapi pikiran mereka yang utama adalah untuk meningkatkan pendapatan, sehingga jumlah uang yang bisa anda tabung lebih banyak.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Orang Biasa Menganggap Berwirausaha Sebagai Risiko, Orang Kaya Berwirausaha Untuk Jadi Kaya</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
“Sebagian besar orang berpikir soal uang dengan cara yang biasa, misalkan, bila saya bisa mendapatkan sekian rupiah per jam, maka saya akan mendapatkan lebih banyak lagi dengan bekerja lebih lama,” ujar Siebold. Bahkan ada orang yang berpikir, jika ingin kaya harus mendapatkan gelar MBA. Para orang-orang terkaya di dunia justru berpikir, cara menjadi kaya adalah dengan memberi jalan keluar bagi orang banyak dengan memberikan ide. Dari ide-ide tersebut maka dia akan memperoleh uang.<br />
<br />
Namun banyak orang berpikir, daripada menjadi gila karena memikirkan ide-ide segar dan belum tentu mendapatkan uang, maka mereka memilih menjadi pegawai dan menganggap berwirausaha adalah risiko.<br />
<br />
3. Orang Biasa Melihat Uang Secara Emosional, Orang Kaya Melihat Uang dengan Logika</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Ada perbedaan mendasar dari cara pandang orang biasa dan orang terkaya dunia melihat uang. Sieblod mengatakan, orang biasa dan bahkan yang berpendidikan sekalipun, sangat perhitungan menggunakan uangnya.<br />
Namun orang-orang terkaya tidak khawatir kehilangan uangnya, karena mereka menggunakan uangnya untuk memperbesar pendapatannya di kemudian hari. Seperti untuk berinvestasi tanpa memikirkan risikonya.<br />
<br />
4. Beda Cara Mencapai Target Antara Orang Biasa dengan Orang Kaya</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Siebold mengatakan, orang-orang biasa dan kelas menengah tidak memiliki keinginan kuat untuk mencapai targetnya. Tapi orang-orang terkaya dunia sangat fokus dengan uang dan bisnis mereka. Bagi para orang-orang terkaya dunia, target harus dicapai dengan tenggat waktu yang telah ditetapkan, bagi mereka taruhannya capai target atau mati!<br />
Karena itulah, orang-orang kaya ini bisa memperoleh impian dan targetnya dengan cepat dan uangnya terus bertambah.<br />
<br />
5. Orang Kaya Tidak Dikendalikan Oleh Keinginan</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Donald Trump dan Richard Branson yang merupakan salah satu orang terkaya di dunia sering berkeliling dunia dengan jet pribadinya. Sementara orang-orang biasa berpergian dengan mobil dan tinggal di rumah sederhananya.<br />
“Orang-orang kaya ini terus bertambah kekayaannya tiap hari. Saya melihat Naomi Judd (salah satu artis kaya) di TV, dan dia mengatakan alasannya dia bisa kaya adalah karena dia tidak pernah menghamburkan uangnya. Dia tidak mempunyai desainer pribadi dan perhiasan mahal. Inilah tipikal orang-orang kaya di dunia. Mereka tidak mewah,” kata Siebold.<br />
<br />
Pernyataan-pernyataan seperti ini telah didapatkan Siebold dari sejumlah orang-orang terkaya yang dia wawancarai. “Jika anda kaya, maka anda bebas dan tidak diperbudaki oleh orang lain. Kemerdekaan ekonomi adalah salah satu faktor utama kesuksesan. Ini mengantar orang untuk memupuk kekayaannya,” jelas Siebold. Nah itulah beberapa perbedaan antara pola pikir orang yang kaya dan orang biasa.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Ibu itu keren ya, ponselnya selalu yang terbaru, smartphone. Ke mana-mana juga sering bawa iPad. Pokoknya ngga gaptek, deh,” demikian komentar seseorang atas teman wanitanya.<br />
<br />
Gaptek alias gagap teknologi, kerap menjadi julukan bagi mereka yang kurang mengikuti perkembangan teknologi. Namun, apa sesungguhnya definisi dari melek teknologi? Apakah mereka yang selalu memiliki gadget terkini saja sudah cukup mewakili definisi “melek teknologi”?<br />
<br />
“Ah, mama payah, ngga beliin aku iPhone. Kan nanti aku malu, dikatain gaptek sama teman-teman.” Rengekan seperti ini kerap jadi senjata ampuh anak pra remaja saat meminta dibelikan gadget canggih ke orang tuanya. Bagi orang tua yang salah kaprah mengartikan kata “gaptek”, akan dengan mudah membelikan anak gadget idamannya. Lalu menganggap masalah sudah selesai.<br />
<br />
Padahal, mereka yang asal beli gadget, asal memakai teknologi, tanpa memahami dampaknya, justru masuk dalam kategori gaptek. Setidaknya ini menurut saya. Mengapa?<br />
<br />
Seorang anak yang diberi gadget, dengan akses internet begitu tak terbatas, aneka aplikasi penuh godaan, tanpa dibekali pengetahuan tentang bagaimana menggunakannya dengan tepat, akan menjadi korban teknologi itu sendiri. Sebab dia gaptek, dan terlahir dari orang tua gaptek juga. Banyak orang tua yang merasa hebat dan melek teknologi, jika sudah memiliki aneka gadget canggih nan mahal. Mereka juga membelikan gadget-gadget itu ke anak-anaknya, tanpa pandang usia dan kebutuhan. Kemudian mengaggap semua sudah beres, dan kembali asyik dengan dunianya.<br />
<br />
“Anak masa kini kan pintar, sudah bisa langsung belajar teknologi. Anak saya yang masih TK saja sudah langsung jago main Android, lho,” celetukan bangga seorang ayah macam ini sering kita dengar. Ia tak paham bahwa “bermain” teknologi pun ada aturannya. Apalagi buat anak-anak.<br />
<br />
Godaan gadget canggih bukan hanya melanda orang dewasa, tapi juga remaja dan anak-anak. Pernah dengar berita tentang seorang remaja asal China yang rela menjual ginjalnya demi memiliki iPad? Atau tentang remaja putri asal Jakarta yang tertipu teman Facebook akibat diiming-imingi BlackBerry? Atau kasus remaja yang mencuri uang orang tua demi bisa punya ponsel canggih? Semua membuat mereka nekad. Hanya karena tak ingin dicap gaptek atau ketinggalan zaman, segala cara dilakukan.<br />
<br />
Kembali ke soal definisi gaptek. Jika gaptek diasosiasikan dengan ketinggalan zaman akibat tak punya gadget canggih, alangkah naifnya. Sebab mereka yang punya beragam gadget canggih sekalipun, kerap kali bersikap gagap. Tidak tahu bagaimana mengontrol diri agar tak kecanduan internet, tidak paham bagaimana mencegah gadget-nya terinfeksi virus, tidak bisa membedakan mana aplikasi yang penting atau justru jadi penyebar spam. <br />
<br />
Biasanya mereka akan belajar, namun dalam waktu lama. Setelah beberapa kali jadi korban penipuan, penyusupan spam, jadi target pesan-pesan berisi virus, atau bahkan pembobolan kartu kredit.<br />
<br />
Tentu Anda tak ingin menjadi bagian dari orang-orang gaptek macam ini, bukan? Punya segudang gadget canggih, selalu update aplikasi terbaru, namun hanya menjadi target virus, spam, penipuan, pencurian, dan seterusnya. Lebih parah lagi apabila targetnya adalah anak-anak Anda yang masih sangat polos dan apa adanya.<br />
<br />
Bagi para pengguna tablet, smartphone, ultrabook, atau apapun gadget canggih lainnya, sudahkah Anda membekali diri dengan wawasan bagaimana menggunakan semua gadget itu dengan tepat? Bukan asal instal aplikasi terbaru, yang ternyata mengandung virus. Atau bukan asal ikut mengklik link yang dikirim melalui DM Twitter, padahal itu membuat Anda terinfeksi Trojan. Atau tidak asal membelikan anak-anak gadget canggih, tanpa memberi bekal cukup soal keamanan dan privasi mereka.</div>

Mitos ini sudah ada turun-temurun Ada yang percaya, ada juga yang menertawakan.. Tapi apapun maknanya, mitos ini bertujuan agar hubungan terhindar dari mara bahaya dan langgeng selamanya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tepat dua hari yang lalu, seorang teman saya tiba-tiba mengirimkan sebuah pesan singkat yang isinya cukup membuat saya terkekeh walaupun dalam hati agak miris juga membacanya. Inti dari pesan tersebut, dia mempertanyakan pendapat saya mengenai kebenaran mitos seputar hadiah pemberian saat berpacaran. Kenapa? Karena dia baru saja diputusi pacarnya dua minggu setelah dia memberikan sepasang sepatu. Dia mendengar sebuah mitos yang berbunyi pantang memberikan sepatu kepada pasangan karena itu perlambang ia akan melangkah meninggalkan kekasihnya. Hmmm...<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Ah, aneh memang. Tapi memang kita <i>toh</i> tetap tidak bisa meninggalkan adat budaya bangsa sendiri yang terkadang masih kental dengan paham permitosan. Saya pribadi pun tidak serta-merta mempercayainya, tapi sebagai manusia biasa, wajar rasanya jika berusaha melakukan apa pun untuk menjaga kelanggengan hubungan. Menjaga dalam hal ini tentu saja dengan mengantisipasi segala kemungkinan buruk, termasuk mitos-mitos saat berpacaran. Bukannya naif, tapi hal-hal seperti ini memang kontras dengan logika. Tambahan pula, mitos ini pun sudah merambat bak tanaman sulur sejak orang tua masih berpacaran dulu.</div>
<br />
<div class="quote">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">"Ah, gue sih ngga peduli mau pamali atau apa gitu. Ya namanya ngasih, pasti rezeki juga buat pacar kita kan? Gue berusaha rasional aja, mana ada rezeki yang datengin masalah.. Hahaha."</span><br /> </i><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Itu kata teman sekantor saya. Masuk akal juga memang. Tapi lantas ada yang bersuara mengenai kata “pamali” yang seolah menjadi<i><b> urban legend </b></i>di tengah masyarakat. Mendengar kata pamali, pasti terlintas wajah kakek nenek kita yang tidak pernah bosan mengingatkan anak cucunya. Tidak boleh tidur di depan pintu, tidak boleh menyapu malam hari, dan lain sebagainya. Jika ditilik dengan logika, rupanya petuah pamali tersebut ada benarnya. Tidak boleh tidur depan pintu? Jelas saja, pasti masuk angin. <b>Lantas bagaimana dengan mitos-mitos saat berpacaran, terutama yang menyangkut dengan hadiah pemberian?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Saya pun tidak tinggal diam dan mencoba membuka topik ini saat mengobrol dengan teman-teman dekat. Rupanya, ada yang pernah mengalami ada juga yang tidak. Ada yang tahu tapi tetap melakukan, ada yang tidak tahu jadi santai-santai saja. Dari sekian banyak pendapat yang berhasil saya himpun, rupanya memang ada beberapa mitos seputar hadiah pemberian saat berpacaran yang sudah menjadi rahasia umum. Selain itu, ada juga beberapa mitos yang diturunkan dari kakek nenek dengan tujuan menjaga keharmonisan hubungan berpacaran. </div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Handkerchief, close to sadness</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mitos ini jarang saya dengar, tapi Ibu saya yang pernah menceritakannya dan rupanya beberapa teman pun tahu tentang mitos ini. Kata beliau, <b>pantang bagi seorang wanita untuk memberikan sapu tangan kepada pasangannya, terutama yang belum menikah.</b> Saya pun mencari konfirmasi kepada beberapa teman mengenai mitos ini. Rupanya ada pencerahan, dan teman-teman saya itu juga mendapat petuah yang sama dari orang tuanya. Apa makna di balik mitos ini? Sapu tangan dianggap dekat dengan kesedihan dan orang pasti mengelap air mata dengan sapu tangan. Oleh karena itu, jika seseorang diberi sapu tangan oleh pacarnya, bisa jadi kesedihan akan merundungi pasangan tersebut. Bisa jadi putus, bertengkar hebat, <i>nobody knows..</i></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
When you give the perfume, ask for coins</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Nah</i>, ini adalah mitos paling populer sepertinya hingga sekarang. Bahkan, sahabat saya sendiri pun pernah mengalaminya. <b>Mitos ini bercerita jika seseorang memberikan parfum kepada pacarnya, maka ia harus mendapat atau diberi koin sebagai penolak bala. </b>Jika lupa, maka kemungkinan terbesarnya Anda akan putus dalam waktu dekat. Sampai sekarang pun saya masih belum menemukan korelasi antara parfum dengan koin. Tapi kemungkinan terbesarnya, mitos ini terjadi karena sugesti. Apapun mitosnya, mungkin tidak ada salahnya mencoba untuk memberi sekeping koin saat pacar memberikan sebotol parfum. Namun buat saya pribadi, selama pemberian dari pacar itu dilandasi rasa cinta dan tulus, sepertinya hal buruk apa pun tidak akan menghampiri.<i> Just, be positive!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<i></i>No shoes, or she would leave.</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Menurut saya ini juga salah satu mitos yang sepertinya jauh dari akal sehat. <b>Pada mitos ini, terdapat petuah supaya jangan memberikan sepatu pada pasangan atau ia akan pergi meninggalkan Anda.</b> Hmm, terdengar aneh bukan? Makna dari mitos ini kira-kira menggambarkan sepatu sebagai alas kaki yang digunakan untuk berjalan. Lantas, jika seseorang memberikan sepatu pada kekasihnya, bisa jadi sang pacar akan berjalan pergi meninggalkannya.</div>
<div class="quote" style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">"Ngasih sepatu terus ditinggalin? Ah, yang bener aja. Menurut gue sih ini bukan soal mitos. Kalo gue bilang jangan-jangan cewenya aja kali yang matre, sepatunya ngga yang kayak dia mau, ya ditinggalin lah!"</span><br />

</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ah, terdengar begitu rumit dan tidak masuk akal. Tapi memang beberapa orang mempercayai mitos ini dan memilih untuk memberikan hadiah lain yang lebih "aman" pada pasangannya. Tiba-tiba pikiran saya mencoba sok rasional, bisa jadi urusan sepatu ini masalah ukuran kaki dan kenyamanan saat memakai sepasang sepatu. Saat memberikan sepatu dan nomernya salah, bisa jadi pacar Anda dan kecewa menganggap usaha Anda tidak maksimal karena kurang memahami dirinya. Entahlah, terlalu <i>complicated </i>dan tidak masuk akal sepertinya..</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Always give colorful flowers</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anda pria romantis yang masih menerapkan gaya berpacaran dengan memberi buket bunga? Mitos yang saya dengar dari nenek saya ini mungkin bisa jadi bahan pertimbangan. Mitos yang dipahami zaman dulu, pantang untuk memberikan bunga warna putih kepada pasangan. Apa alasannya? <b>Bunga warna putih dianggap sebagai lambang kematian.</b> Ya, di sini bunga warna putih yang dimaksud melingkupi jenis apapun; mawar, <i>lily</i>, apalagi melati. Memberi bunga berwarna putih kepada pacar, bisa jadi sama saja dengan ungkapan duka cita padahal sebenarnya untuk menunjukkan rasa sayang. Hmmm, ada-ada saja. Tapi untuk mitos yang satu ini nampaknya sudah tidak populer di era sekarang. Untunglah...</div>

<br />
While ambling down the boulevards of downtown KL last Sunday, I spotted a Malay pak cik with two mice on strings. He was tugging and releasing the strings like one would with a yoyo and the mice were scampering around with tails swishing left and right. I stopped and watched.<br />
<br />
<br />
The pak cik said he made the mice himself. On closer inspection, I could see that he spoke the truth. Nevertheless, I knew my kitties would enjoy a game of cat-and-mouse. A few minutes later, RM5 and a mouse changed hands. <br />
<br />
Yin picked up the mouse by its tail and ran off with it. I wish I had managed to capture it before she dropped it. She was too fast for me. Blackie was not interested in running off with the mouse. He only wanted to tug and chew on the tail.

The food there were not particularly good and Blockhouse, the restaurant serving Western cuisine across the road was one of the worst we'd ever had. Very amateurish. <br /><br />Undecided, we walked up and down the road a couple of times and finally decided to join the crowd at Restoran E Soo Yong Tou Foo. Given a choice, yong tau foo is not something I'd choose but I have to say that E Soo served a rather fresh and large yong tau foo pieces.<br />

<br />We ate a few pieces before I remembered to take a picture. The fried aubergines were not overdone nor soggy soft. They tasted like they had just been freshly fried to order. None of the pre-fried and then heated up again taste. The fried dumplings were not bad either. The proprietors were generous with the filling.<br />

<br />
I dug out the fish paste, gave it to hubby and ate only the emptied-out bittercurd and okra. I don't like fish paste, and that's the reason why I don't like yong tau foo. If only they would serve yong tau foo without the fish paste filling, a la vegetarian!!<br /><br />We ate a few pieces before I remembered to take a picture.

<br />Ah, assam vegetable. That's the highlight of the dinner where I was concerned. It was not too sour, the way I liked it. I added so much of the gravy onto my rice that it was literally swimming in the gravy. Very appetizing. <br /><br /><br />The bill came to RM20.50 for two. The yong tau foo was RM1.10 per piece while the assam vegetable was RM5. We had water instead of tea as I've found that drinking tea after 5pm didn't help my insomnia.

is a rather strange cat. He likes to chew.....no, not bones or fingers,
but on toilet brushes and hair. He used to go into our bathrooms and
chew our toilet brushes. After he developed a bladder infection, all
bathroom doors are closed off to him, although occasionally, the little
rascal managed to slip in with my mum unnoticed. And when she leaves the
bathroom and shuts the door with him inside, that's when he has a
party.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, what do I do when I see a scratch board with a toilet brush bristle arch?

Snow, "kar" in Turkish, is a story about Ka, a Turkish poet who lived in exile in Germany and who has now returned to Istanbul for his mother's funeral. He took the opportunity to travel to Kars, a city northeast of Turkey on the pretext of covering the story of the numerous suicides there. In truth, he had heard that Ipek, a beautiful ex-classmate was now divorced and he hoped to make her his wife. <br /><br />When he arrived, there was a snowstorm which cut the city off from the rest of the world for three days. So, in a nutshell, the plot is about Ka stranded in kar in Kars. And that's all there was to it, really. <br /><br />Yes, I know, those who have read the book would tell me about the secular state's clashes with the Islamist fundamentalists, about how a group of Muslim girls would rather commit suicide than remove their head scarves, and how the army staged a theatre act but fired five rounds of live bullets into the audience, killing some while injuring others.<br /><br />They would be right. We read the same book. However, my gripe is not with the plot itself. Snow had a rather unique plot, one that broke the monotony of the plethora of bestsellers by Western authors. I'd be the last person to argue that the story was interesting.<br /><br />I only wished it had been written better. The story was told by an omniscient presence (the author's) who came upon Ka's notes years later and pieced them together. The 'layers' removed the reader from the story and as a result, I did not feel involved in the events taking place, nor did I feel any empathy for Ka. As a matter of fact, I felt that Ka was a drip.<br /><br />If this were a movie, I would have said the wrong actor was cast in the male lead. But this is a book, so I guess it was the way the story was narrated. Orhan Pamuk could still keep Ka as the main character, but approached it differently.

Now it is mum. Yesterday, her annual blood test results showed that her uric acid reading is high while her sodium, chloride and potassium are lower than normal. This is despite her potassium supplements prescribed by the doctors. <br /><br /><br />The doctor did not prescribe any medication to lower her uric acid nor to increase her sodium. She said just increase the salt in our food and to avoid food high in uric acid (more than 100mg/100g, according to my research). <br /><br /><br />Spinach tops the list at 57g per100g, followed by mushrooms (488mg/100g), sardines in oil (480mg/100g), fresh sardines (345mg/100g), anchovies (239mg/100g), all beans and peas products and by-products (190mg/100), salmon (170mg/100g), mackerel (145mg/100), crustacean seafood and red meat (including pork). <br /><br /><br />Not only tofu is out of the menu, but practically all meat as the only meat mum could eat is chicken and hubby simply refuses to eat this poultry in any form.<br /><br />What is good for hubby is bad for mummy and vice versa,e.g. I can't increase the salt in our food, as hubby is on a low-sodium diet.....I am so f****d.<br /><br /><br />More research, more research, today's dinner will be ready and served next week..... :PUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856340219852967121.post-48741115882281856662011-06-03T13:50:00.000-07:002014-03-03T13:58:37.916-08:00The Manhattan Fish Market @ PavillionAfter a tiring day of walking, shopping and browsing in downtown KL, we were disinclined to embark on a food-hunt. It was a case of we will eat 'whatever that is edible and won't burn a hole in our pocket'. We had emerged from C.K. Tangs and were at the lower ground floor of Pavillion. <br /><br />The Manhattan Fish Market caught our eye. Hubby had eaten at a different outlet on a weekday lunch with his colleagues and said it wasn't bad. While I enjoyed fish, I had never been a fan of those chain restaurants that served fish.<br /><br />Anyway, to cut a long story short, displayed on a banner outside the restaurant was a set for two at RM49++. The fish, as I suspected, was dory. I'm not a fan of dory, but oh well, what the heck, I was tired, so let's not be fussy.<br /><br />We didn't have long to wait before our food was served......pre-cooked fast food....what did you expect from chain restaurants??!!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
soup of the day was mushroom soup. It was buttery and had a subtle
taste of parsley, and a less subtle taste of wild mushroom. Mmm....</span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We chose the Quad Delight for our starter. On the plate were fried calamari, fried country mushrooms, fried shrimps and a serving of coleslaw with raisins. I enjoyed the fried country mushrooms but found the fried calamari and shrimps to be too salty for my taste. I skipped the coleslaw and raisins....never liked it when I was young, and never liked it now.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Hubby's initial choice was baked dory, but we were told it's all sold out. So he opted for poached dory in mint sauce, what I had initially had in mind before deciding on grilled fish. He cleaned the plate, well, except for the aluminium foil. If he could, I'm sure he would have eaten that, too. <br /><br />As for me, I didn't touch it and was glad I changed my mind about having the dory poached. It looked too slimy for me. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My choice of grilled dory arrived shortly after. For once, this dory was not slimy but firm. However, it was way too salty for me. Hubby who didn't find it salty in the least, said I must have a very low tolerance for sodium. I barely finished half of it. Hubby had to finish the rest for me. I left my rice untouched as I was full to the brim by then.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The set meal came with two glasses of Tropical Breeze, a Haiwaiian fruit mocktail. A refreshing drink after a tiring day and sodium-enhanced meal.<br /><br /></span><br />

machines in Genting, I've been intrigued by how they work. Is there a
way to beat the system? With that thought, I decided to do some research
on slot machines and see if I could beat the machines at their own
game. Yeah, yeah, I am always looking for ways to beat the system.<br /><br />After
an hour's crash course, I am now in a position to advise on how to
increase your chances of winning at the slot machines (gasp!).</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Money management</span> - Don't play with money you can't afford to lose.</span> <span style="font-family: arial;">Set a loss limit before you enter a casino. Discipline yourself and stop playing once you've reached that pre-determined limit.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Know the payout table</span> - Read the pay table on the machine first. </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica;"></span><span style="font-family: arial;">Choose
a machine that offers the most winnings for the lower and medium symbol
combos, because these are the ones you will be hitting most often,
which consequently will keep you playing longer. Do not play a slot
machine simply it has a high maximum payout because your chances of
winning the maximum payout are a lot lower than winning smaller payouts.
</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;">3. </span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hit and run</span>
- The longer you stay at any slot machine, the greater the odds against
you. The casino’s built-in mathematical advantage takes effect, which
is, the longer a gambler plays, the more likely the house will win. So,
do not be greedy. Quit when you're ahead. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Now you're ready to have fun! Did you guys seriously think there is a way to beat the slot machines??!! Lol... :-)</span> </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856340219852967121.post-28932658199178686012008-09-03T16:07:00.000-07:002014-03-04T16:08:08.798-08:00Up In The Clouds and RM600 Richer<h3 class="post-title entry-title">

past weekend was significant not only for Malaysia but for me and my
hubby. While Malaysia celebrated its 51st birthday on 31st August 2008,
my hubby celebrated his birthday and our anniversary on 2nd September.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;">But this year, a friend took us to
Genting. He is a Genting Silver Card member which gives him access into
the International Room, where the stakes are higher. Since we've never
been inside the International Room where all the 'movers and shakers'
are,</span> <span style="font-family: arial;">we accepted his invitation to be his guests.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">There,
in the International Room, we decided to play the slot machines instead
of sitting at the tables where everyone was betting a few thousand
ringgit per bet (we are risk averse). We were prepared to lose only RM50
at the slot machines as 'entertainment fee'. Imagine our surprise when
we won a total of RM600 for just sitting around and punching buttons.<br /><br />And
our friend walked away RM800 richer, too. He was so delighted he bought
us supper that night. Hmmm.....not a bad way to spend our anniversary.
Thanks, TC, for taking us there and giving us a great time!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;">I bought a couple of cat treats,

I've devoured all their books. So, I've decided that off and on, I shall share some of these books that I've enjoyed so much with you, my friends.<br /><br />Today, I'll like to share about The Simple Truth by David Baldacci. I bought it at one of the MPH Book Fairs at a fraction of its retail price.<br /><br />The story is about John Fiske, a former cop turned attorney whose investigation into the death of his estranged brother led him into the murky grounds of corruption in the powers that be.<br /><br />Michael Fiske was a lawyer, and worked in the Supreme Court in Washington DC, the highest court in America. He had stolen a prison letter from Rufus Harm, a death row inmate, and sealed his own fate. Now John has to find out what his brother's death has to do with a crime that Rufus Harm committed twenty-five years before.<br /><br />The story flows smoothly enough, with all the usual actions taking place, plot twists and what not.

Malaysians make the best sales people in the world. These people are a
very hardworking race, incredibly persistent and do not take "no" for an
answer. Neither do they understand a vigorous shake of the head. It's
simply not in their vocabulary.<br /><br />If you are like me, an ordinary
housewife without much spending money (hint, hint, hubby), there are
many places you can go to for a cheap lunch that won't burn a hole in
your pocket.<br /><br />Unfortunately, you are also exposing yourself as a
potential target to all those tradesmen (door to door salesmen, or in
this case, table to table salesmen) who push their products under your
nose, or, in between the strands of your noodles if you happen to be
slurping away.<br /><br />A quick way to get rid of them is to continuously
move your head from left to right, making sure the noodles hanging out
of your mouth does a thorough sweep of the lottery ticket or fake Rolex
watch. They would immediately snatch their product out of harm's way and
move on to the next table.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856340219852967121.post-44107117802637786082008-08-03T06:48:00.000-07:002014-03-04T06:49:20.310-08:00Blackie007 is coming to your cinema in Nov 2008<span style="font-family: arial;">If you are wondering what that movie
is, and if it's a movie about Blackie, you are not alone. That was the
reaction I got from my cousin when I emailed her the news. (Sorry, cuz,
this is too good to pass.) :)<br /><br />Now, if any of you had looked at my profile, and complete profile, you would know immediately what I'm talking about.<br /><br />Anyway,
yesterday, my hubby and I went to check out the new mall in Kepong,
Brem Mall. There is an independent cineplex there, with 6 cinemas. Yes,
that's right, independent. It does not belong to TGV or GSC.<br /><br />It
was in this cineplex that I saw a large black and white poster. On the
white background, there are only two items in black. One is the picture
of a shadow of a man with a pistol in his right hand, and next to it are
the numbers 007. And beneath this poster are the words, "Coming in
November".<br /><br />Yes, sexy Daniel Craig, the usurper of my place in Her
Majesty's Secret Service is coming to your nearest cinema in November
2008. Watch out for him, ladies and gentlemen.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
