I’m nuts about Reader’s Digest. I don’t read anything else but this. I will never miss it. Other magazines can come and go but I’ve been reading this for more than 10 years! Every month, never fail.

Here’s one interesting article that I would like to share with you, it’s called Are You Normal or Nuts? Don’t worry if you don’t have a copy, you can always read it online. Go read Are You Normal or Nuts? and then come back here to share your views with me will you?

As many people know, I’m afraid of snake or anything long, slimy and without legs. EWWW!! This is defintely normal, so I’m not nuts. It’s just like you are scare of rats, spiders, cockcroaches and so on.

How about this? One pretty odd one of mine, I would be squeamish when wet hair stuck to my body or hand when I’m wet like when having shower and washing my hair. I must quickly remove them else I feel very uncomfortable. Talking about me with long hair and hair fall is quite common when washing. 😛 I don’t mind dry hair that fall but the wet hair that sticks to me really makes me squirm. So? Is this nuts?

I found this one pretty interesting quirks in the article:

I cannot eat certain big, tricky-to-bite things in front of people unless I know them very well. Facing a huge sandwich at a business lunch is a nightmare. And a floppy wet salad on a date? Forget it. That’s odd, no?

Do you feel this? I’m sure many of us feel this way too! Hehehe… I’m one of them. So are we nuts? Of course not, we just want to take care of our image ;p With those that I know well, don’t care it’s male or female, I don’t care, I’ll just eat as much as I like, no matter how messy it is hehehe…

Just go read the article and find out more. You will know you are not nuts but normal.

Many people going for LASIK nowadays and many are very happy with the result. FDA panel meeting recently stated that it’s safe and the success was reaffirmed. You dare to do it? You plan to do it? I don’t hahaha… Anyway, if you dare and planning to do it you should get more information to ensure that you are well informed.

According to Kerry D. Solomon, M.D. a world-renowned ophthalmologist and refractive surgeon at the Storm Eye Institute, the moderm LASIK is safe and have better visual result than it used to.

Modern LASIK combines 3D mapping and customized treatment and it’s approved by the US Military & NASA. Their pilots and austronauts are using this this technology to improve their eyesights. However, this is not for everyone. This is what you should know. On average, there are 20-25% of people cannot undergon this process because they might have thin, irregularly shaped corneas or unrealistic expectations. Are you one of them?

If you are not sure, you should get yourself examined. It takes 2 hour which includes 3-D mapping, customized wave-front measurements of your eye and an examination of your corneas. You should also do research and get referrals from people that had done it.

The surgery doesn’t hurt but you have to make sure you know clearly about the benefits and risks. There will always be little percentage of complications. In LASIK, it’s less than 1% but it’s still a risk you have to take note of. The complications can be dry eye, halos & double vision but these could resolve over time or are managed by enhancements or therapy such as drops to replace the eye’s moisture.

After reading this, what do you think? You can get more LASIK information here.

Did you see this somewhere between 12pm-1pm? I did not, this photo was not taken by me. Somebody knew about it and didn’t tell me about it. I had to force him to send me the picture for me to update *LOL* So, here you go. Did you see it just now?

Remember last time when this phenomena happened? Everyone was so kiasu and blogged about it and then newspapers even ran a news on it. Hahaha… Here’s my old post about it.

I know… I know…I’m extremely late in posting this. Anyway, it’s better than never, enjoy the music video. Ponder upon it.

This is a non-profit, non-partisan, independent project from Malaysians directly to Malaysians.

This muisc video was introduced few months back if I’m not mistaken. I never have the chance to watch it because everytime I wanted to watch it, it just didn’t want to load. Even if it loaded, there’s no sound coming out or it would only load for few seconds and not moving anymore. Finally yesterday it works!

Some said that the video is sensitive, I don’t see it… Hmm…

You can get more details at malaysianartistesforunity.info
