不爽﹐生氣﹐抓狂﹐哭笑不得的分別... ( 超好笑的……)

有一天﹐
兒子問爸爸: 爸爸, 不爽﹐生氣﹐抓狂﹐哭笑不得的分別是甚麼意思﹖
爸爸﹕要解釋很難﹐不如讓我來示範。
首先﹐爸爸拿了一本電話簿﹐隨機選出一個人。然後打電話給那個人。順便把電話調到擴音器模式。
VICTIM﹕HELLO﹖
爸爸﹕HELLO﹐ 請問ABDULLAH BADAWI在家嗎﹖
VICTIM﹕你打錯電話啦﹗
爸﹕你不要騙我啦﹗
VICTIM﹕我騙你幹嘛﹗神經病﹗(蓋了電話)
爸﹕哪﹐兒子﹐這個就是 "不爽"。現在來看甚麼是生氣。
(兒子點頭)
(過了5分鐘﹐爸爸再打一次電話給那個人)
VICTIM﹕HELLO﹖
爸﹕請問ABDULLAH BADAWI有在家嗎﹖
VICTIM﹕怎麼又是你﹖都跟你講了你打錯電話了﹗
爸﹕我沒打錯電話啊﹗
VICTIM﹕你這個神經病﹐你到底是誰﹖
爸﹕我是誰你還不懂﹖我是NAJIB啦﹗
VICTIM﹕%^&*$#@﹗你是NAJIB我還ANWAR咧﹗白痴﹗(大力蓋電話)
爸﹕哪﹐兒子。這個就是"生氣"。懂了嗎﹖
兒子﹕喔我懂了﹗
爸﹕現在來看下甚麼是抓狂﹗
(又打電話給那個可憐的人) 那個人一拿起電話就咆哮了﹗
VICTIM﹕你這個吃飽沒事做的神經病﹗整天打電話來干擾我﹐要不是我的電話沒有CALLER ID我早就報警了你這個變態佬。。。。
爸﹕(刻意壓低聲音)ERM。。。。請問林先生在嗎。。。。﹖
VICTIM﹕啊﹗很對不起﹗剛剛有個變態一直打電話來。。。
爸﹕喔﹐沒關係﹐請問ABDULLAH BADAWI在家嗎﹖
VICTIM﹕##$W$#^^%$E$%^$&^%R%^$^&%^$^%$﹗﹗﹗﹗﹗
這一次﹐爸爸蓋上了電話。
爸﹕你現在知道分別了吧﹗等下你媽媽要回來了﹐我們可以吃晚餐了﹗
兒子﹕可是爸爸﹐你還沒有講解甚麼是哭笑不得﹖
爸﹕喔﹐那個要等到晚上12點啦﹗
(晚上12點﹐爸爸搖醒兒子﹐然後又打電話給那個人)
VICTIM﹕HELLO。。。。。﹖(睡到一半被吵醒)
爸﹕我是ABDULLAH BADAWI﹐有誰打電話找我啊﹖
VICTIM﹕。。。。。。。。。。。。
爸爸好厲害啊﹗

GINGER & BARLEY

ACancer Killer in the Kitchen - Ginger
The powerful healing effects of ginger have been well documented. It's a proven remedy for upset stomach. Reams of studies show that it inhibits inflammation. And there is substantial evidence that it fights cancer too.

For instance, a recent University of Michigan study showed that when ginger was added to ovarian cancer cells in the laboratory, it caused the cancer cells to self-destruct (a process known as "apoptosis"). In a separate study at the University of Minnesota , researchers injected colon cancer cells into mice that were bred to have no immune system.

Half of these mice were routinely fed gingerol, the main active
component in ginger. The researchers found that the mice that were fed gingerol lived longer, their tumors were smaller, and the cancer did not spread as widely as in the control group.

With all these health benefits, you should be using ginger as often as you can. The best way I've found to get a healthy serving of ginger is to juice it. (The brand of juicer I use is an Omega.) Two or three days a week, I juice an apple or two, some carrots, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, and a big piece of ginger root.

The ginger gives the drink a great flavor and a powerful anti-cancer kick.
I highly recommend that you try it.

Healing and cleansing with barley

High in fibre, barley is also a kidney cleanser. Better yet, regular intake of it helps prevent heart disease. BARLEY water was always a regular drink when we were still living at home. Whenever we had to go for a medical exam that included a urine test, my mum would make us drink barley water a day before it to make sure we got a positive result!

My mother was a wise woman. I later found out from an Australian naturopath that barley is known to be a kidney cleanser, and she happily downed glasses of it at a meal we had in a coffee-shop here.

Barley is good for your intestinal health too. Try to eat the barley grains you find in your drink or sweet broth with fu chook (beancurd skin) and ginkgo nuts.

It's high in fibre which feeds the friendly bacteria in the colon and helps speed up the transit of fecal matter in it. In this way it helps prevent haemorrhoids and colon cancer.

The propionic acid and beta glucan from barley's insoluble fibre also help lower cholesterol and prevent the formation of gallstones.

Eating barley regularly is a preventive step against heart disease as, besides the fibre content, it is also high in niacin, a B vitamin good for lowering cholesterol.

Diabetics should eat more barley as the fibre will prevent blood sugar levels from rising too high. It also provides relief from constipation or diarrhoea for those suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Barley is rich in selenium which prevents cancer and relieves symptoms of asthma and arthritis. It is a good source of manganese, copper and phosphorous.

Malt sugar comes from sprouted barley which, when fermented, is an ingredient in beer and other alcoholic beverages..

Barley, whose Latin name is " hordeum vulgare" , has been cultivated for more than 10,000 years.
Since ancient times, barley has been used for healing purposes and has been known to the Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Athletes in Greece and Rome in those days were known to eat barley bread to give them strength.

Besides the usual things we do with barley, I enjoy having it in a western soup. The larger pearl barley is used and I love the sticky bite of it.
