I don't know much

Look at this face
I know the years are showing
Look at this life
I still don't know where it's going

I don't know much
But I know I love you
And that may be all I need to know

Look at these eyes
They've never seen what mattered
Look at these dreams
So beaten and so battered

I don't know much
But I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

So many questions still left unanswered
So much I've never broken through

And when I feel you near me
Sometimes I see so clearly
The only truth I've ever known is me and you

Look at this man
So blessed with inspiration
Look at this soul
Still searching for salvation

I don't know much
But I know I love you
And that may be all I need to know

I don't know much
But I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

I don't know much
But I know I love you
That may be all there is to know

Because of you

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

I only want to be with you

I don’t know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
’cause you’ve started something
Oh, can’t you see?
That ever since we met
You’ve had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you

It doesn’t matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Oh, look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It’s crazy but it’s true
I only want to be with you

You stopped and smiled at me
And asked if I’d care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didn’t stand a chance
Now listen honey
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we’re together, honey, I don’t care
’cause you’ve started something
Oh, can’t you see?
That ever since we met
You’ve had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you

Oh, oh, you stopped and you smiled at me
And asked if I’d care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didn’t stand a chance
Now hear me tell you
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we’re together, honey, I don’t care
’cause you’ve started something
Oh, can’t you see?
That ever since we met
You’ve had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
I said no matter, no matter what you do
I only want to be with you

Special kind of something

Somebody said that I would make it big
Somebody said that I would be the kid
to go all the way to go all the way
My daddy said learn and you will go far
You've got to reach out for the highest star
That's what he said so that's what I did...

And nobody said that I would feel this pain
Nobody said that I would feel this way
And I need to explain...

CHORUS :
I've got something to give,
I need someone to hold,
I need a special kind of something
Coz I dont wanna be alone...


I've got to learn how to love,
I need to know how to care,
I've got a special kind of something
That I just need to share...

I didn't really think about the consequence,
I've got a one way ticket out of innocence,
But that was my dream, and this is my dream,

I can't spend another night on my own,
Never in my life felt so alone,
Darling, can I explain?

(repeat chorus)

With you...

And if I keep pretending, how will you know?
The message I keep sending,
I've got a special kind of something,
that I just need to show, ooh

(repeat chorus)

Something to give, someone to hold,
Special kind of something, don't wanna be alone,
Ooh

Learn how to love, know how to care,
Special kind of something I just need to share...

(repeat chorus till fade)

腎結石或致腎衰竭

許多人忽略了喝水的重要性，有些人認為水淡而無味，因此比較喜歡喝果汁（非鮮榨天然果汁）、汽水、咖啡或茶。雖然這些飲料含有水份，也能解渴，但大部份同時也含脫水劑，導致儲存體內的水份流失。

其實，果汁（非鮮榨天然果汁）、汽水和咖啡等飲料含不健康物質，影響水份正面功效。例如，含咖啡因的飲料刺激腎上腺，繼而產生利尿作用，促使頻頻排尿，造成身體失去過多水份。

汽水含磷，會導致骨骼內的鈣質流失，12安士的普通裝汽水，含相等于9茶匙糖及大量的空泛卡路里，果汁則含大量糖份，使身體吸收過多卡路里。

陳偉明醫生表示，一天若喝少過一公升的水，腎臟還能維持正常操作，不過卻會導致尿液變濃，后果不堪設想。“腎臟每天處理約200公升血液，清洗身上約 2公升的代謝廢物和多餘的水份。”

“腎臟還有平衡鈉、磷和鉀等化學物質的作用，經過調節的化學物質將重新被吸收到血液。適度的平衡能維持正常的生命狀態，過量則會帶來損害。”

陳偉明醫生表示，腎結石是平常事，十位男士中就有一位是患者，而廿位女士中就有一位是患者，每個人在一生的某個階段，都有患上腎結石的可能性，這將引起腎衰竭。

腎臟中的結晶過程形成腎結石，它有如倒入清水中的鹽巴，鹽巴在水中會溶解，直到超過飽和點，它就會以晶體的形狀呈現眼前。如果尿液內的水份減少，腎臟便容易結石。

“凡是會引起尿量減少和增加尿液中鈣含量的任何疾病，都會提高腎結石的風險。減少腎結石或腎臟損壞最有效的方法就多喝水，每天至少需喝上兩公升的開水。”

如何保養指甲

平常該如何保養指甲呢？

1·盡量減少直接以指甲接触東西，或將指甲當做工具來使用，以指肉代替指甲，減少傷及指甲的機會。

2·若指甲小皮已經萎縮或消失，可每天以溫水浸泡10至15分鐘后，用熱毛巾輕輕擦干，再由接近身体的一端向遠端按摩，讓指甲小皮重新生長。另外可使用保養乳霜來涂擦指甲小皮，減少裂開脫皮的情況。

3·保持手部干燥，在干燥的情況下病菌不易生長，感染的機會就會減少。

4·減少接触各种刺激物，如肥皂、有機溶劑等等。如果必須要接触刺激物，盡可能戴保護性的手套。

5·選擇不含甲醛或丙酮的指甲油或亮光劑，而以含醋酸鹽的產品替代。使用的次數最好不要超過一周一次，指甲油停留在指甲上的時間不要超過5天。

6·對于受傷或破裂的指甲，可用市面上售賣的指甲修護霜涂抹，隔天一次。指甲修護霜以含有果酸或磷脂質成分者為佳。

指甲的外觀是一個人健康的縮影，除了特殊的皮膚指甲疾病之外，一個人如果沒有不良的生活習慣和不當修整，指甲是自然美麗的。

預防脫髮小妙方

1.減少吸煙、適當地按摩頭皮，有助促進血液循環。

2.妥善紓解壓力，不要積存，如多做運動、培養興趣等。

3.避免攝取過多糖份、鹽份或動物性脂肪，以免阻礙血液循環。

4.多喝水、多吃新鮮蔬菜及鐵質豐富的食品，如瘦肉、菠菜等。

5.葵花籽油、豆油、花生油等都含有較多的不飽和脂肪酸，對頭髮的健美大有益處。

6.常吃含有碘質的海藻類食品，能使頭髮更健康潤澤。

家庭輕鬆美容秘方

所謂"愛美是人的天性"。為了美，人們可以花費購買化妝品，有的人甚至走進美容院請專業美容師來美化容貌。其實，在我們家庭中就有許多便宜而有效的美容品哦!

以下的方法不知您又知多少呢?

一、平日可在冰箱中儲存一至兩瓶冰水用於擦膚。冰水可使皮膚的毛孔收縮，促進血液循環，它是最好的收縮水。

二、家中買回的豆腐千萬不要忘記留下一小塊，它可以當天洗臉之用，用豆腐涂搽臉部，稍乾後洗淨，這樣可使皮膚增白並有彈性。

三、淘米水留下第一次和第二次的水，讓它澄清後取上面乾淨的清水洗臉，堅持下去面部會變得細膩，此方法對油性皮膚最有效，此水洗後再用清水洗乾淨。

四、牛奶飲完後，不要馬上丟掉空袋，滴上五至六滴水搖動後倒於手掌中，涂拭臉部，五、六分鐘後洗去，這種方法若能堅持下去，皮膚會日漸白嫩。

五、取2至3滴葡萄汁涂擦面部皮膚，20 分鐘後再用清水洗去，這種護理可使皮膚柔滑而皺紋舒展。

六、 用汁多的水果蔬菜進行護膚美容，它不需要很多，只要一點點就足夠了。

早晨出現幾種狀況須提高警惕?

早醒：有些人在早晨4—5點鐘即從睡夢中醒來，醒後疲乏無力，難以再入睡，而且醒後心情不輕鬆，反而鬱悶不樂。這種表現臨床上稱之為早醒失眠。臨床觀察，早醒失眠主要見於各類抑鬱症和精神心理障礙病人，尤其抑鬱症患者多見。有一些老年人出現心理障礙的最早癥狀就是早醒失眠，並伴有煩躁不安癥狀，嚴重的會導致輕度精神障礙，老年性痴呆也與其有一定關聯。所以，老年人早醒失眠不容忽視，更不應視為正常現象。

頭暈：正常情況下，早晨起來時應該感覺頭腦清醒。如果晨起後頭腦昏昏沉沉的，或者有頭暈現象，患者可能有頸椎骨質增生，壓迫頸椎動脈，影響大腦血液供應。另外，人在血黏度增高時血流減慢，血氧含量下降以至大腦供血供氧受到不良影響，而血黏度的高峰值一般在早晨出現。所以早晨頭暈、頭昏者有可能患有頸椎病或患有高黏血症。

饑餓感：有些人在凌晨4——5點鐘醒來後感到饑餓難忍，心慌不適，還伴有疲憊無力，如果吃一些食物後，癥狀可以有所緩解。但仍可有口乾舌燥，想喝水的念頭，這些癥狀又在吃早飯後逐漸消失。這就有可能是糖尿病的表現。如果已知道自己是糖尿病患者，凌晨出現上述癥狀，說明服藥方法和用藥劑量不妥。

浮腫：一般健康人在早晨醒後也可能出現輕度的浮腫，但起床活動後浮腫現象應在20分鐘之內徹底消失。如果在清醒後，頭面部仍有明顯浮腫，特別是眼瞼浮腫，提示患者有腎病或心臟病，有此癥狀者應到醫院檢查一下腎臟及心臟的情況。

晨僵：晨僵是指清晨醒後，感覺全身關節、肌肉僵硬，活動受限。在活動後，關節和肌肉才逐漸伸展開來。一般來說，中老年人如果有明顯的晨僵，且全身關節活動不靈活，就說明可能患有類風濕、風濕、骨質增生等疾病；一些有過敏疾病的患者，如多形紅斑、皮肌炎、硬皮病等，也會出現明顯的晨僵現象。

如何解決失眠的困擾？

1.避免睡前進食：睡前不宜吃東西，因食物在胃中容易刺激大腦興奮，會不容易入睡，並影響睡眠品質。

2.避免刺激、亢奮性食物：下午三點後不要喝含咖啡因的飲料，可於睡前喝熱牛奶，或喝一大匙醋，有助於放鬆。

3.於枕頭中放「苦艾」葉，可幫助睡眠。

4.放鬆身心：做些可以放鬆的活動，如閱讀、寫東西、或洗澡等。

5.避免用藥：不要養成對藥物依賴的習慣，容易上癮或有副作用。可以在睡前喝菊茶，對睡眠亦有幫助。

6.因電器中的變壓器會干擾腦部，若找不出失眠的原因，試著拔掉床頭電器插頭。

儘量避免熬夜，否則需要多好幾倍的睡眠時間，才能補回體力。晚上十一點至凌晨三點間入睡，是睡眠最好的時間。

保養眼睛有何妙方

一、食用維生素：

多食用維生素Ａ，可改善眼睛疲勞；維生素Ｅ和維生素Ｃ，可防止眼力衰退。

二、適時消除眼睛疲勞：

1.眼睛長期注視容易酸痛，應隔一段時間便將視線移開，轉動眼睛或看遠處，眼睛才不會太勞累。

2.也可以倒一杯熱水，利用熱開水的蒸氣，一邊蒸眼睛一邊轉動眼球，讓眼睛舒活。

3.可以將用過的茶包趁還溫熱時敷在眼皮上，可減除眼睛的疲勞。

4.穴道按摩：按壓睛明、「瞳子膠」穴道可解除眼睛疲勞，還有減少皺紋的功效。

6種培養愉快心情的方法

擁有愉的心情能使我們的身心更加健康。相對的來說,當你遇到不順心或挫折時，悲傷、憤怒、抑鬱、憂愁等損害健康的惡性心理情緒便會與之俱來,對身體的健康帶來一定的影響。如何積極地化解這些情緒的困擾呢？心理學家向您推薦以下密決，不妨試一試!

一、多做跑步、轉圈、疾走、游泳等體育運動。這些運動是化解不良情緒的行之有效的措施之一。

二、睡好覺。睡眠有助於克服惡劣情緒，穩心定神。一覺醒來，心情就會好多了。

三、聽音樂。音樂可使大腦產生一種能鎮靜安神的物質內啡呔，但要注意選擇“對路”的音樂。

四、賞花草。花草的顏色和氣味，有調解人情緒的作用。

五 、觀山水。青山綠水，鶯歌燕舞，會將你置於美好的情境中，心情便會被“快活化”。

六 、洗淋浴。浴池中的淋浴，能產生一種安神的活性分子，不快時，不妨洗洗淋浴，會一身輕鬆。

回头看来时的路
总有些复杂感触
我们走得那么辛苦
好不容易才到这地步
不被了解的痛楚
到不了爱的净土
是你让我越过冲突
陪我走过风雨险阻这一段路
如果开始就能看见幸福
不在别人眼光耳语中迷路
或许我不能把爱看清楚
想把你的手牢牢握住
如果这是通往爱的旅途
也许过程注定要荆棘密布
但我不后悔选择这条路
你的爱让我深深体会
活着的感触
有时我不愿回头看
一路太多眼泪混乱
幸好有你我才变得勇敢
ah……
我从不后悔选择这条路
因为你的爱让我看见
活着的幸福

First day of Year 2006

Have a happy and sad day, first day of year 2006… been through time that I love to treasure a lot… and got drunk as usual… didn’t meant to get drunk but was a bit moody earlier on…

Few things that I realized I should do…

- care for other’s feelings
- if I am at fault, have to apologize as soon as possible
- have to be fair to everyone
- stand on other’s shoes to think as much as I can
- understanding
- caring
- never take things for granted

So yeah will be going to work in another 25 mins… I miss the weekend that I’ve had… I miss the time I’ve spent… I’m gonna start missing everything sweet in my mind soon… nothing really changes besides the me who realized things again…

The first dream of year 2006

I had a dream last night… I don’t know if is a nightmare or sweet dream… but it is a bit ridiculous or a bit funny lor… last night I got the sudden urge to go back Malaysia… not sure why do I have that feeling so strong…

So this is my dream… I live in a place that I can see the beach straight away… so I was sitting at the balcony, it’s night time that time… I saw all there are all the fire rings falling from the sky… and I can see the other side of the sea is burning… not sure what is happening… then the sun rise out of sudden, and I saw the big waves coming my direction from far away (something like tsunami) LOL…

So I knocked on all my housemate’s door… those housemates are the one I live with when I was studying… then they saw it and trying to run with me… so we run out from the house and trying to escape from that incident, but until a place we need to cross a big pool… the pool is something like a show pool where those dolphin will do the show in that pool…

I said to my friends that I am afraid to go near the pool because there might be a wave from the pool like tsunami… so one of my friends pull my hand and we walk through the edge of the pool… but when I look in the pool there is something like dolphin but that is not a dolphin that is a human in black… so I was so scared and we run really fast…

When we reach the gate, there are some people like security or guard… they asked what happened and we said there is tsunami… they said how come you didn’t tell us earlier? And they try their best to save as many people as they can…

Out of sudden, I am at a place, it’s somewhere in Johor I guess… I saw a sign saying that place is something call perlj or something like that LOL… then we were standing in the other side of the gate, we were a bit tired and sad because we can’t think of anyway to get back to Kuala Lumpur… so I saw a shop something like a travel agency across the road, I jump across the gate and trying to go to that shop, it looks like it is open but when we knock on the door the lights in the shop got switched off…

I was so disappointed and heart broken, in the other hand, I felt so helpless… but when I look around I saw a place that got few school bus parked at the road side… I told my friends to try and see if they can send us to the train station or somewhere we can get a transport to Kuala Lumpur… I begged the lady who seem like a driver… and got her to fetch us to the train station. When I sit in the bus, I was like “phew, finally…” not sure what happen next, but that is all I can remember from the dream…

The very first hour of year 2006

Finally the New Year eve is over! Today is a brand new day of year 2006… the feeling in my heart is so hard to be describing… but one thing for sure is I feel like crying at the moment of seeing the fireworks…

Nothing really changes besides sms to those long lost friends and got them to replied me as well… and rejected all the invitations from friends because I hate to squeeze with people especially after a hot day gone…

Was disappointed by mum because she said we have reunion dinner with our family but she invited the outsider, I was so pissed off and I went to grab my rice and dishes then I had my dinner alone in my room… blasted the music real loud so I would not hear anything outside…

They left the house without letting me know but I don’t really care though… so continue waiting the hours for fireworks… this year is a bit special because I saw once in around 9pm… and second one at 12am…

I feel like crying because I missed the New Year eve I had in last year… that is a lot more relaxing and enjoy… not like now… friends will only tend to make me drunk or go out for drink… was trying my best to avoid drinking as well… knowing my body is getting weaker… sigh…

They were trying to surprised me in very last minute… given me lame excuse that they want to watch the fireworks from my house… LOL… I knew they want me to go out with them but the problem is I don’t even feel like stepping out my house :s… disappointed them as well… there you go my New Year eve and the first one hour of year 2006…
