Earthquake again

China quake damages more than 100,000 homes, 25 dead

BEIJING (Reuters) - An earthquake that hit southwest China's Sichuan and Yunnan provinces has killed 25 people, damaged or destroyed more than 100,000 homes and affected at least 440,000 residents, state media said on Sunday.

The epicentre of Saturday's quake, which struck around 4:30 p.m. (0730 GMT), was about 20 miles (30 km) southeast of Panzhihua, near Sichuan's border with Yunnan, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake was about 6 miles (10 km) deep.

The U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude of the quake at 5.7, while China's official Xinhua news agency said it measured 6.1.

A 5.6-magnitude aftershock hit the same area 24 hours later, the USGS said on Sunday. There were no immediate reports of further damage from the second quake.

Xinhua said Saturday's quake had injured 192 people, and three more were missing.

It added that 656 schools had also been damaged and that heavy rain and difficult terrain were hampering rescue efforts, with mobile telephone communications patchy.

State television showed pictures of houses with large cracks in their sides, broken tiles on the road and people receiving medical attention under tents.

Parts of Sichuan province were devastated by an earthquake that killed about 70,000 people in May. The province, known for its pandas and fiery cuisine, has struggled to rebuild after the disaster, which left 10 million people homeless.

Merdeka

Nothing special happens actually, except that I woke up late and have jetlagged..Who won't get jetlagged if they slept 3.00 am in the morning and then is forced to wake up early the next morning..I have this latest obsession rite now.I am addicted to blogging..Now,I have urge to jot down every quirky words or every jokes me and my brother make into my blog, my inner sanctum.Today, I reied the combination between chocolate drink and chocolate bun..It is just heavenly but unfortunately, I just swaalowed everything into my stomach because I am too absorbed into blogging..After sis came back from church, we all went to tesco and eat, the merdeka atmosphere is so not there, until we all ate in kfc..This might bored u all up bt the table next to me is occupied by indian family then the table in front of them is another malay family..It's Malaysia, with multiracial community..The best thing is, we all share the same passion, KFC.

There is this fried curry chicken, which is said to have chilli bt not spicy, has rempah , has garlic bt the garlicky taste is nt strong..bla bla..That day, the same wawasan 2020 song incessantly revertebrated throughout the whole tesco..I dun mind actually as I flipped through The Last Lecture.Then, I discovered another thing, almost every trolley that departed from the entrance have watermelon in it..

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

SMILE

A Smile Is Contagious

A smile costs nothing, but gives much. :)
It enriches those who give it. It takes but a moment,
but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None is so rich or mighty
that he can get along without it,
and none is so poor
that he cannot be made richer by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home,
promotes good will in business,
and is the cornerstone of friendship.:)

It can perk up the weary,
bring cheer to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad,
and is nature's best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen,
for it is something that is of no value to anyone
until it is given away. :)

When people are too tired to give you a smile,
give them one of yours.
No one needs a smile so much
as he who has none to give

Spread the Disease Today and Give Someone a SMILE....

Remedy to get rid of worry

I found a cure, to the most contagious or the most prevalent illness in the world, WORRY! Worry is considered a sickness which can be prevented if extra care is taken..After years of discoveries or so called research, this is what I feel is the most adequate methods taken to eliminate worries.

1)When u started to worry, try to think of happy memories like 1st time get presents from friends or 1st time mum hug u
2)Assume that 1 year later, will this negative thoughts that u are pondering about matter?Then, u will realised how utterly foolish of u to waste so much time on it.
3)Feel grateful of what u have and never think of what u dun have/
4) Get some sleep.
5)Run around or get a pillow, nt to sleep on it but to hit it hard
6)Do something u like to do
7)Meditate.
8)Get a bath

Thanks to all these remedies, Hui Jan is stilll alive n kicking like a big baby.

me: You got watch any show from hua hee dai?
gm:Got, i dun like ji gong, its siau siau show
pause for a while
me:u gt watch other shows( I gave a list of shows)
pause
gm:HUH????
me: The tv volume is too soft, why dun increase the volume, u can hear?( I just shout at her)
gm: i can, i can.
The problem is i can't even hear the dialogue n so on..My grandma just have eye lasik surgery..her eyesight is in superb condition bt her hearing, is that good?

This is the conversation between me n grandma, lame bt after all, precious.She is 91..
When my parent said thay want to visit my another cousin, ah yam koko at the coffeeshop, my cousin has a coffeeshop(lol).I decided to bring yang yang around 4 a walk, I show him different type of flowers, THEN, when we reached this place with alot of stones, I picked up a few stones n direct him to throw into a dustbin, it's like aiming for the dustbin, it is a bit of vandalism because the next day when the garbage lorry come, they will find out that they are carrying stones away nt rubbish.Yng Yang get so excited that he picked up dog poo, DOG POO!!which is white in colour n look like stone..I immediately ushered him back to the house to wash his hand..our journey hasn't' end yet.

2) get beaten by them
3)kung fu, or wat we call street fighter
4) throw things around, they gt plenty of toys..
5)They hurl things at me, to b more exact
6)Clean the things that are lying around on the floor.

Psychology

Obsessive compulsive disorder.

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which the person experiences either obsessions or compulsions that interfere with normal life functioning. Obsessions are persistent ideas or thoughts or impulses that intrude on your thoughts, and cause significant distress in your life. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors that are performed in an effort to reduce anxiety. (Typically the anxiety is caused by obsessions). Approximately 2 percent of the population develop an obsessive compulsive disorder during their lifetime.

It is important to note that obsessions are not just excessive worrying about real problems, as that would be a generalized anxiety disorder. Also, the person with OCD typically tries to ignore these thoughts and ideas. An individual with a psychotic disorder may ruminate on a single idea, but would not try to avoid thinking about it, as obsessive ideas do not generate the same kind of personal distress when they occur as part of a psychotic process.

Obsessive compulsive disorder

This disorder results in significant distress. Most people with OCD spend a lot of time during the day dealing with either obsessions, compulsions, or both. These obsessions and compulsions significantly interfere with their normal life functioning. OCD can develop in childhood, but most often it develops in adolescence or young adults.

Intrusive thoughts are very common in the general population. Most of the time, stress leads to intrusive thoughts, and individuals who are depressed are also more likely to develop intrusive thoughts. It appears that those people who develop an OCD response to these intrusive thoughts may have a severe biologically based emotional response to stress. It should be noted that OCD is very resistant to treatment, and an individual with OCD will need treatment over an extended period of time.

I'm obsessed in publishing article about obsessive compulsive disorder.
