it is great to be back to work. today is my second day at work in VWR International. working hours are much earlier at 8.15am and location is near safti. that means iloveBunny had to sleep earlier each night and head out of house in the dawn of latest 7am...for the next 3 months plus until...i become officially mrs yong and i moved out and into camp clarence.

first day at work was slow...my t60 took a whole day to come, blackberry is not available until next week and my desk had been reduced to a quarter sized...bummed. i think the best days of having big spacious desk was when i worked for gerard. small desk is ok only drawback is that i cannot display my toys...bummed.

still trying to remember everyone's name.

the cool thing is that VWR is on SAP! I love the power of SAP. now, waiting for my access to log into SAP.

today lunch was indian mee goreng with egg and sipping iced tea. lunch was with kare bear at his office's food area...keke...it is good working in the west area again. cos' i can have more lunch opportunities with my buddies like 9183, ah kwang, ms liow, andrew...and of cos' my dearest clarence!!!

ohla...iloveBunny had been reading a lot these 2 weeks...i read about these from our local papers yesterday and decided to blog them.

5 facts about lupus Abstracted: The STs pp.18-19 Mind your body.
1. Lupus is not a form of cancer. it is an auto-immune disease in which people develop antibodies (which usually fight bacteria and viruses) that attack healthy tissue. this produces inflammation in different parts of the body, resulting in pain and swelling. no one really knows what cause lupus.
2. Lupus is not contagious.
3. Although there is no cure, most lupus patients can take medication which will help them live a full life.
4. Lupus occurs in both men and women, although it is much more common in women, particularly those between the ages of 15 and 44.
5. The disease affects each person differently. it is mild for some people but for others it may mean a lifelong illness with the potential for serious consequences such as kidney failure, say the Lupus Association, Singapore website.

more can be learned from my favorite online dictionary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_lupus_erythematosus

it is estimated that there are 4,000 lupus patients in Singapore/ personally, i know three sle patients. ps# they are all well and under medication. first, my close secondary galfren whom i was with from the on-start of her illness, then my old church mate (one of the sa boys) who is going for kidney transplant soon (his bro will be given one kidney to him), and my mentor. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or commonly known as Lupus or in chinese 红斑狼疮 is definitely not a new term to me.

Next up from the same newspaper section: I read about 10 Super Fruits.
Check them out and take note to include some in our diet.

1. Pomegranate
aka: Granada
supposed benefits: some studies suggest that the juice may contain almost 3x the total antioxidants in green tea and red wine.
2. Kiwi
aka: Chinese gooseberry
supposed benefits: a single kiwi is said to supply more than the normal daily adult requirement of vitamin C.
3. Mangosteen
aka: manggis
supposed benefits: its rind contains xanthones, which are said to neutralize free radicals.
4. Goji (pronounced goh-gee)
aka: Wolfberry
supposed benefits: it contains carotenoids that act as antioxidants to protect the retina of the eye.
5.Cranberry
aka: mossberry, fenberry
supposed benefits: it is used to prevent or treat urinary tract infections (UTI).
6. Noni
aka: cheese fruit, ach, mengkudu
supposed benefits: the juice is said to be able to reduce high blood pressure and relieve arthritic pain as it contains a high level of antioxidants.
* eeKs! i dont like the taste of some noni juice...so no noni for iloveBunny
7. Avocado
aka: palta, abacate
supposed benefits: it contains healthy monounsaturated fat, which has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
8. Seabuckthorn
aka: sandthorn, seaberry
supposed benefits: it is said to boost the immune system as it is rich in vitamin C.
* erh...sorry, what is that?! i am not sure if i had eaten this before. it is a soft and juicy orange berries, 6 to 9mm in diameter.
9. Blueberry
aka: Bleuet
supposed benefits: it is said to be an anti-ageing superstar that is loaded with antioxidants to improve vision and brain function.
10. Acai (pronounced as as-sa-E)
aka: cabbage palm berry
supposed benefits: claims to have twice the antioxidants found in blueberries, as well as omega fatty acids, proteins and fibre.
* erh... i am sure i havent eaten this before. it is a dark-blue berry that is similar in size to a grape.

orh...i was notti...had a chocolate sundae last night. heehee... i am recovering well.. but not sure how soon the scars will go away. clarence suggests that we can go for movie next week or over the weekend... Hancook.

the information of the movie from my favorite movie site - gv (online).
There are heroes... there are superheroes... and then there's Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility everyone knows that everyone, that is, but Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, Hancock's well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake. The public has finally had enough as grateful as they are to have their local hero, the good citizens of Los Angeles are wondering what they ever did to deserve this guy. Hancock isn't the kind of man who cares what other people think until the day that he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), and the sardonic superhero begins to realize that he may have a vulnerable side after all. Facing that will be Hancock's greatest challenge yet and a task that may prove impossible as Ray's wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), insists that he's a lost cause.

movie popcorn ratings: coming...after we watch it lah.

This morning, i managed to catch a replay on starhub cable / discovery channel 12.
titled: The Girl who lives in the dark.

Popular Factual // Human Interest 1 x 60 minutes

Wan Lao Yang is a 9-year-old girl from China suffering from Xeroderma Pigmentosum, a rare genetic disorder which makes her skin unable to repair itself after exposure to U.V. light.

As soon as U.V. hits Wan Lao, her skin reacts dangerously, making it impossible to go outside, or even watch TV. This film documents Wan Lao’s journey to Shanghai, and the treatment she receives from a specialist from the famous Great Ormornd Street Hospital. It also explores the work of NASA’s Sun Protection Team which has created a customised ‘sun suit’ for Wan Lao that blocks out 100% of U.V. rays.

More information on the disease, check out my favorite wikipedia - @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeroderma_pigmentosum
