EVER TRY AVOIDING YOUR FRIENDS WHO HAS BAD BREATH BUT COULDN’T BECAUSE HE/SHE IS YOUR FRIEND? AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF HE/SHE HAS BAD BREATH? TELL THEM OR IGNORE?

It was 2 days ago where I and my friend went to the photography fair held in Mid Valley Convention Centre. It was pack with people and full with visitors. Definitely there would be some business selling products at their booth, and when you see booths around, there will definitely be sales personnel around.

My friend saw a cute looking guy from one of the booths and went up speaking with that guy. 2 minutes later, she left and I asked her why. She said, “That guy is cute, but when he opens his mouth, I felt like slapping him.” Not because that he was perverted or something, but he had serious bad breath.

Therefore, here are some informations on how to have a breath that please everyone every day.

According to Discovery Health, fixing bad breath depends on what’s causing it. In 80 to 90 per cent of cases, it is due to something in the mouth, more often, Plaque which is the nearly invisible film of bacteria that is constantly forming in the mouth, which is often responsible for bad breath.

Occasionally, bad breath is due to something in the lungs or gastriointestinal tract (which refers to the stomach and intestine), or to a systemic (bodywide) infection. However, eating a garlic meal, drinking alcohol and also the use of tobacco is also a MAJOR cause of having a bad breath.

Therefore, below are the 6 TIPS to keep yourself off from having a bad breath.

1)Keep Your Mouth Clean

This means a thorough brushing twice a day and flossing regularly. Food and bacteria trapped between teeth and at the gum line can be removed with floss. If they’re left to linger, then bad breath is imminent.

2)Cleaning Your Tongue

Bacteria left on tongue can contribute to bad breath. Therefore, be sure to brush your tongue after you brush your teeth.

3)Wet Your Whistle

A dry mouth can quickly cause bad breath. Saliva helps clean your mouth as it has a natural antibacterial action and it washes away food particles. The “morning breath” is the result of reduced saliva flow at night.

4)Rinse

Always rinse your mouth with plain water after eating. Swishing the water around after meal and prevent bad breath from setting in.

5)Munch on Parsley (I dislike this the most because I dislike parsley)

Munching on parsley or spearmint won’t cure bad breath, but the scent of the herb can help to cover up offending oral odor temporarily.

6)Eat to Smell Sweet

Foods that help fight plaque may also help fight bad breath. Opt for celery, carrots, peanues or a bit of low-fat cheese if you want something to snack on.

Although the tips above could help your breath to smell better, but by figuring out the causes of bad breath is always the best way to deal with the problem for a long term.

Therefore, if you do not want to smell like a DONKEY,

remember to always keep your mouth clean.

Cheers. ^^ (off to keep my dental hygiene clean now)

“CAMERAS READY?”... “READY..”...”READY...”...”READY...” ... “READY...” ... “READY...” ... “READY..”...”READY...”...”READY...” ... “READY...” ... “READY...” ... “ERM... READY FOR WHAT??”

It is the Kuala Lumpur Photography Fair again, held at Mid Valley Convention Centre from the 29th to the 31st of October 2010. This festival is held or all photography lovers and also camera lovers to exhibit their arts and to tell more to others regarding their life by holding a camera. This photography fair might not be big, in which it is quite of disappointing due a very marketing oriented fair, but with a few incredible displays around the whole exhibition area, it is still fairly amazing.

Every picture tells a thousand words. But for this exhibition, every picture tells a story, on the life, journey, of a human, a living item, a non-living item on how they are portrayed, displayed and being used. Everything in this world in known as art, but what is really artistic would be the story behind those pictures, would be the story portrayed through these pictures and also the things that teaches other about the life of other beings.

Even though it was a short tour in the fair, but at least we get to play around with a few salesperson available on the counter, and also we get to survey and see some new camera models available in the market, especially the latest 3 Dimensional camera, which is already on sale and display.

As for this tour, it will be another traveling experience with the photography group in which, I was able to try out my new camera, Nikon L110, since it was bought, and in addition, to find out more about my camera and to maximize its uses towards different photography.

Lastly, we get to meet new people, making some new thoughts on how photography should be rather than just holding a camera and snapping everything without a real thought on what a photograph should portray, and I think, that would be the main purpose and taught from this fair.

Some pretty girls and handsome boys in the booth.

(But too many of them scares customers away)

Malaysians – Always the third class…

MALAYSIANS CAN BE SO TYPICAL AT TIMES IN TERMS OF THEIR THINKING, IN WHICH PORTRAYING THE BAD SIDE OF BEING AN ASIAN COUNTRY, DISGRACING THE IMAGE OF BEING A MALAYSIAN, RUINING THE HARDWORK OF THE OTHERS WHO ARE TRYING TO BE PROUD OF WHAT BEING A TRUE MALAYSIAN IS.

Malaysians are always disgraced by other parts of the world, in which we have a first class facility, and ALWAYS the third class mentality. Even with the tiniest thing couldn’t possibly to be handled well by a Malaysian. No wonder we were looked down by others all the time.

That is why professionalism and ethics always comes into mind, regardless of who you are, where you are and what you do.

I went to the cinema yesterday, located at Sunway Pyramid, in which me and my friends has booked the movie tickets beforehand, and so, we lined up on the redemption area to redeem our booking tickets. But, there was this young man, and since he was young, I doubt he would be educated, in which he has totally no ethics or what-so-ever, he just cut into our lines in which we have waited for long, into the redemption counter. The lady in the counter did not stop them from pursing the purchasing of tickets, but instead, allowing one after another to continue with their purchasing of tickets.

And when I mean purchasing of tickets, I mean buying tickets on the spot WITHOUT BOOKING the tickets at the first place. This is totally unacceptable. Shouldn’t the lady in the counter be professional by asking these customers as it would be fair for others as well, rather than allowing them to move on with their purchase? And shouldn’t that young man line up as I think he would be taught only lining up all his while in his school. So, is this the education problem that we’re looking at again, or is it the discipline of the youngsters that we’re looking at.

Malaysians have such a mentality of “apa-apalah” (translated: whatever), in which they do not even care about rules and regulations, when things can be solved the easy way. This mentality has been going on from generations to generations and I would think that it is time to change the fact.

Small problem like this could affect and change on how people perceive us as an individual, as a group, as a citizen and as a country, as things spread, news spread, even though it is only a small matter. If people would still do things for granted, Malaysia, would never be perceived as a first world country, but will forever be known as a third world country, lived by a third class mentality citizen, and always a third class citizen.

Change is the Name

REMEMBER ON HOW WE USED TO CHANGE THINGS IN OUR LIFE? CHANGING FROM ITEMS TO ITEMS, CHANGING FROM RELATIONSHIP TO LOVE, AND CHANGING FROM YOUNG TO OLD… IT IS AN UNDENIABLE LIVING PROCESS IN OUR LIVES.

It was a day where change has occurred into my life, changing from an old camera to a new camera. Although I misses the old camera, but things would need to move forward. Ditching the old camera was tough for me as it has been living with me for 4 years. Therefore, I did not ditch it away, instead, giving it to my elder brother who doesn’t love photography that much. Evil me huh? Haha.. (I am a really good boy, but something has changed me to be aggressive that day)…

I bought a camera, Nikon L110 from Times Square in which I met a really nice salesman, and the more I kept negotiating, the more discount he gives me. I do not know what happened to me that day, but it seems like I’m evil enough to bully a really nice salesman. It is as if that he is willing to give up all of his incentives that he could earn from me by giving me more and more discounts, and therefore, the more items I bought by using his weakness, the 3 step flow.

He was an easy going guy, no matter how much you try to cut, although I did not do it directly, but still, persuading him 3 times and he is able to give me a discount on every single item, and even some freebies that I got from him. But still, thanks for the service and thanks for everything… you’re really good. Too bad that I didn’t get your name, if not I will be haunting for you for my next camera. Haha...

After that I went on moving around with the camera and finally, it was the opening ceremony of the camera. I brought it for band recording, and although it did not turn out well due to the new camera which is still really new for me, and I did not even have time to read the manual, and yet, my band boys are already around the corner of my house, waiting for me. And there goes, another recording. This time, the recording would be Boulevard of Broken Dreams, by Greenday.

I bet most of you would have heard about this song, although Boulevard was an easy song to sing, but a tough song to portray its inner meaning. Still, enjoy the video clip, and also, some candid shot and playing around with the new camera during recording. Enjoy peeps… ^^
