Keroleen - Little Diary, Little notes

Last night, clumsy me had a GREAT FALL. Now ended up with a BIG BALL on my forehead, cut on my lip and also loosen teeth. *sob sob*

Until now, the ball on my forehead still pain pain when touch upon. Hopefully it would have that ugle blueblack appear. This is what i found on the web:

Bruises Treatment

Self-Care at Home
The treatment for a bruise is most effective right after the injury while the bruise is still reddish.

A cold compress such as an icepack or a bag of frozen peas should be applied to the affected area for 20-30 minutes in order to speed healing and reduce swelling. Do not apply ice directly to the skin. Wrap the icepack in a towel.
If the bruise takes up a large area of the leg or foot, the leg should be kept elevated as much as possible during the first 24 hours after the injury.
Acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be taken for pain as instructed on the bottle. Avoid aspirin because aspirin slows the blood from clotting and may, in fact, prolong the bleeding.
After about 48 hours, heat in the form of a warm washcloth applied to the bruise for 10 minutes or so 2 or 3 times a day may increase blood flow to the bruised area allowing the skin to reabsorb the blood more quickly. Ultimately, the bruise will fade in color.

Did you check the 4D result yesterday? Here is the top 3.

4D Wed 27/06/2007
1st Prize: 6904
2nd Prize: 6904
3rd Prize: 7173

How can that be right? 1st and 2nd prize the same number? I am wondering the roller got so accurate to have the 4 balls come out the same sequence? One roll after another.

Whoever who brought this set of numbers "6904" must be laughing with all his/her hearts as it is a windfall of $3000 for every $1 bet.

Ever feel so stressed that you wanted to scream? A good shout can literally help you blow off steam, releasing pent-up frustrations and leaving you spent, relaxed, and calm. We are often taught, in our society, to hold all our emotions in and to betray no trace of frustration or exhaustion. But it can be much healthier just to let it out!

In yoga we sometimes mimic the roar of a lion in particular, but any roar or shout will help you reduce stress throughout the day. Some good places to try this include the shower, in traffic, or in the privacy of your bedroom. If others are around, it's helpful to alert them first—because it can sound alarming! And if you're driving, of course, make sure to watch the road as you sound your lungs.

P/S: No wonder on the show, at times you will observe the scene that the actor or actress go to the place near the airport or the railway track or a plot of empty land there to SCREAM OUT LOUD! Actually in real life I do not know if anyone really does that. All I know is that people do scream at one another when there is arguement. At times worst fighting came into place.

Sob sob, I didn't get to sleep well last night for whatever reason. Wonder if I am going to fall sick soon. I am sweating in an air-con room while I am sleeping! Maybe due to my dream who knows.

You know what I dreamt?

I dreamt that I am having a 2.4km run. In this dream, I actually was the 1st few to run in the race managed to did very well for the first half of the race. Then there is this overhead bridge that I need to run across, as usual lazy me then stop and take time to decide which is the SHORTEST way. In the mist of deciding, I met my secondary friends who were also in the race - my monitor and a few others! Think we all last seen each other was during the collection of our O level results! So ended up we spend quite a fair bit of time updating each other lives and doing for the past few years. Time flies lor.

Like the story of the hare and the tortise, should you know what happen to me in the race. Ended up I am the last few to have complete the race. :( Managed to complete just in time before the race end.

Then suddenly woke up and toss here and there unable to sleep as I am trying to figure out why I have lost in the race.

Maybe too pressurized by work.

Yeah! Found on the web, some eco-friendly and economical alternative to conventional and potentially harmful cleaning products. Sharing with all of you!

All-purpose cleaner• Mix vinegar and salt for a good surface cleaner.
• Pour some baking soda and vinegar on a damp sponge. It will clean and deodorize all kitchen and bathroom surfaces.

Deodorizer• Place partially filled saucers of vinegar around the room.
• Boil 1 tablespoon of vinegar in 1 cup of water to eliminate unpleasant cooking odours.
• Baking soda is excellent for absorbing odours.

Removing crayon marks
• Crayon marks on the floor or table can be removed by rubbing them with some toothpaste on a damp cloth. Don't use this on wallpaper or porous surfaces.

Removing grease spots
• Immediately pour salt on grease spots to absorb and prevent staining.

Removing scratches
• Mix equal parts of lemon juice and vegetable oil, and rub against scratches with a soft cloth until they disappear.

Laundry starch
• Dissolve 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in 2 cups of cold water. Place in a spray bottle. Shake well before using. Make sure to label this so you don't use it for cleaning.

Oven cleaner
• While the oven is still warm, pour some salt on grimy areas. If the areas are dry, dampen with water before applying the salt. When the oven cools down, scrape the grime off and wash clean.
• Spray grimy areas with water or vinegar-water and apply a layer of baking soda. Rub gently with fine steel wool and wipe off. Rinse with water and wipe dry.

Toilet bowl cleaner
• Sprinkle baking soda into the bowl, then drizzle with vinegar and scour with a toilet brush. This combination both cleans and deodorizes. (Note: DO NOT mix the combination with store-bought toilet cleaners. The combination will create toxic fumes.)

Glass cleaner
• Mix equal amounts of water and vinegar in a spray bottle. Wipe the glass with newspaper for a streak-free shine.

There is a book written by Gary Chapman - The 5 love languages... it tells you how to speak your spouse's love language.

This is the first time i heard of it, told by my fren - Alvina.

The 5 love languages is...
1) Speech
2) Physical Touch
3) Service (like doing housework for you)
4) Gift
