THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM 人体支柱 骨肌系统

The human body needs the support of the musculoskeletal system - bones, joints, cartilage and muscles - to house delicate organs and physiological systems.

无论是高耸入云的摩天大楼,还是平常的房屋建筑,都必须依靠坚实牢固的梁柱来支撑,以让整栋建筑物的钢架结构稳固而安全。人体也是一样,由骨骼,关节,软骨与肌肉组成的骨肌系统就好比楼房的支架,为人体提供其他器官与系统的基本生存结构。

Important Functions Of The Musculoskeletal System

The musculoskeletal system supports the body's weight and enables the body to stand straight and move. The bones and muscles protect the head, the delicate structures in the thorax and the various body systems. The red bone marrow in the bones is the source of white and other blood cells. Bones also store minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus, and fat cells in the marrow cavity can store lipids.


骨肌系统的重要功能

骨肌系统肩负着许多重要的功能,包括支撑身体的重量,同时让身体能够直立与行动。骨肌与肌肉能够保护头部和胸腔内的精细结构,也为人体个器官的系统 运作提供保护。骨骼中的红骨髓是白血球和其他细胞的泉源。此外,骨骼还可作为矿物质的储存场所,尤其是钙。磷等,骨髓腔内的脂肪细胞也可储存脂质。



Dietary Habits Influence The Health Of The Musculoskeletal System

Imbalanced diets, lack of exercise and excessive work pressure often cause problems in the musculoskeletal system of many people. Counties people worldwide suffer from musculoskeletal diseases and symptoms such as joint diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, spinal diseases and lower back pain. Research shows that inappropriate nutritional intake will weaken the immune system. This is the chief cause of the body's inability to resist invading bacteria and viruses.


Hence, a balance diet is crucial for prevention of various musculoskeletal diseases. The human immune system can help repair bodily tissues, but you must provide the best nutrients by eating nutritious fresh vegetables and fruits, before the immune system is able to repair damaged bones or muscle tissue.


饮食习惯影响骨肌系统健康

现代人的生活形状,例如饮食失调,疏于运动,工作压力过大等往往造成许多人的骨肌系统出现问题,而这些毛病对人们的影响是不容忽视的。目前,全球有 无数人正受到关节病变,风湿性关节炎,骨关节炎,骨质疏松症,脊槯疾病,下背痛等骨肌系统疾病或症状所折磨。研究发现,不适当的营养摄取是削弱免疫系统, 导致身体无法对抗这类疾病侵害的主要原因。


因此,在预防各种骨肌系统疾病方面,均衡的饮食十分关键。这是因为人体的免疫系统具有自行修复身体组织的功能,多吃有益新鲜的蔬菜与水果,才可为免疫系统提供最好的养分,帮助修补受损的骨骼或肌肉组织。


Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to an increased susceptibility to fractures. Many people try to prevent osteoporosis by increasing calcium intake through their diet. For example, they drink lots of cow's milk. From as early as the 19th century, scientists have warned that diet rich in animal protein will cause calcium to be lost through urine, resulting in calcium deficiency.


There are many other sources of calcium, many green vegetables such as broccoli and Chinese kales are good sources of calcium that are easily absorbed by the human body. Some legumes, especially soy, are highly nutritious and rich in calcium. Phytochemicals unique to soy - soy isoflavones - can effectively prevent calcium loss, enhance the body's calcium absorption and increase bone density.


骨质疏松症

骨质疏松症是由于骨质减少和骨组织结构退化,导致骨折危险增加的一种疾病。许多人为了预防骨质疏松症,可能会选择在饮食中提高钙质的摄取量,譬如喝大量牛奶。早在19世纪,科学家就已发现,过量摄取动物性蛋白质会导致钙从尿液中流失,更导致骨骼缺钙。


其实,富含钙质的营养来源很多,许多绿色蔬菜,如花椰菜,芥蓝就是钙质的良好来源,且容易被人体吸收。而一些豆类,尤其是大豆,极具营养又富含钙质。大豆中独有的植物营养素大豆异黄酮能够有效地防止钙质流失,促进人体对钙质的吸收,同时增加骨质密度。


Rheumatoid Arthritis

Most people attribute the cause of their swollen, painful or stiff joints to problems with their joints, the lack of calcium or aging bones. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), one of the most common types of joint diseases, is in fact linked to a malfunctioning immune system. When an immune system malfunctions, it may lead to allergies or autoimmune diseases. RA is a type of autoimmune disease, whereby the immune system is unable to distinguish between enemy cells and the body's own healthy cells or tissues. People of any age can develop RA.


Thus, intake of suitable nutrients to maintain a balanced immune system is very important for effective prevention of RA. Plant foods help maintain the body's balanced and do not disrupt the immune system's functions. At the same time, they help defend the body against various disease.


风湿性关节炎

当大多数人的关节发生红肿,疼痛或僵硬等情况时,往往以为只是关节部位出现问题,或是由于缺乏钙质,骨骼老化所致。然而,导致一种最普遍的关节病变 之一,“风湿性关节炎”的原因,实际上与免疫系统失调有关。失调的免疫系统会导致过敏或自体免疫疾病的发生。而风湿性关节炎就属于自体免疫疾病,是由于免 疫系统无法分辨敌我而盲目地攻击自己的细胞或组织所造成,可发生与任何年龄层。


因此,若要有效地预防这种自体免疫疾病,摄取适当的营养来维持免疫系统的平衡非常重要,完整植物性食物所提供的营养能够支持身体的均衡状态,而不会扰乱免疫系统的正常运作,同时能够帮助身体不受各种疾病的侵袭。


Adopt Early Prevention Measures

Adjusting our diet and lifestyle can help prevent musculoskeletal diseases. Experts recommend moderate exercise, good body posture, a healthy weight and sufficient rest to help prevent musculoskeletal diseases. Eating foods rich in bone-and muscle-strengthening nutrients like calcium and vitamins helps the musculoskeletal system to run smoothly, as well as prevent diseases caused by an imbalance in the immune system.


However, choosing appropriate nutrients is very important. Nutritional Immunology advocates wholesome plant foods provide the body with suitable, balance nutrition and help keep the immune system healthy and balance without any side effect. Hence, take note of the nutrient intake from the daily diet to ensure the immune system receives suitable nourishment. That, plus a healthy lifestyle, is the best way to prevent musculoskeletal diseases from robbing us of our healthy.


及早做好预防措施

大部分疾病都能通过饮食与生活方式的调整加以预防,骨肌系统疾病也不例外。专家指出,维持适度的运动,正确的身体姿势,健康的体重及充分的休息有助 于预防因老化或生活习惯导致骨肌疾病而从饮食中摄取富含增强骨骼与肌肉的营养,例如钙质,维生素等养分有助于保持骨肌系统功能正常运作,以及预防因免疫系 统失调而引起的疾病。


然而必须注意,选择正确而适当的营养非常重要。营养免疫学所提倡的完整植物性食物,能为人体提供适当,均衡的营养,帮助免疫系统维持健康平衡的状 态,而不会造成任何副作用。因此,在日常生活中注意营养的摄取,以让免疫系统得到适当的滋养,再配合健康的生活方式,是防止骨肌疾病剥夺健康的最佳方法。

DARE TO EMBRACE CHALLENGES 勇于接受挑战充实自我

One day, a lobster and a hermit crab met in the deep ocean. The hermit crab saw that the lobster was trying to shed its shell, exposing its soft and tender body. The hermit crab said anxiously: "Lobster, how could you give up the only hard shell covering your body ? Are you not afraid that the larger fishes would swallow you up ? With your condition now, even the swift current would bang you onto the rock, and you are not going to survive that !"


The Lobster answered calmly: "Thank you very much for your concern. However, you don't seem to understand that each time we lobsters grow, we must first shed our old shells before we can grow solid and new ones. The danger we are facing now is only to prepare ourselves for the tougher times ahead."


The hermit crab was thinking, all these while he was only busily searching for shelters, and had never thought of the ways to grow stronger. He could only survive under the shelter of others, and had restricted his growth and development.


The Moral of The Story

We all have our own comfort zones. If we want to go beyond our current achievements, we must never draw a line to confine ourselves. We must always be prepared to bravely embrace the challenges to excel ourselves. You can be a lot better than what you thought you were capable of.

有一天, 龙虾与寄居蟹在深海中相遇,寄居蟹看见龙虾正把自己的硬壳脱掉,只露出娇嫩的身躯。寄居蟹非常紧张地说:“龙虾,你怎可以把唯一保护自己身躯的硬壳也放弃呢?难道你不怕有大鱼一口把你吃掉吗?以你现在的情况来看,连急流也会把你冲到岩石去,到时你不死才怪呢?”


龙虾气定神闲地回答:“谢谢你的关心,但是你不了解,我们龙虾每次成长,都必须先脱掉旧壳,才能生长出更坚固的外壳,现在面对的危险,只是为了将来发展得更好而作出准备。”


寄居蟹细心思量一下,自己整天只找可以避居的地方,而没有想过如何令自己成长得更强壮,整天只活在别人的护荫之下,难怪永远都限制自己的发展。


温馨提示

每个人都有一定的安全区,你想跨越自己目前的成就,请不要划地自限,勇于接受挑战充实自我,你一定会发展得比想象中更好。

Beautiful Science 美的科学

The body and skin work together every day to combat harmful elements, such as germs and UV rays. This fight requires a robust body system that is able to vigorously defend against infectious microbes, keeping us healthy and strong.


我们的身体与皮肤无时无刻都在同抵御外来的侵害(例如细菌和紫外线),而强健的全身系统是战胜感染性病原体的关键,也是时刻确保身体健康的主因。


Nutritional Immunology and Our Body

A cancer pandemic is right at Asia's doorstep. The unholy trinity of unhealthy diets, smoking and drinking - all linked to various cancers - may driven Asian cancer rates up 60% by 2020, some expert predicts.


Replacing vegetables and fruits with fatty means full of meat and salt has led to increases in stomach and colon cancers. Meanwhile, traditional diseases like malaria are killing fewer people, building an aging population primed for cancer.


In this age of instant gratification, many turn to antibiotics and drugs when ill. Antibiotics and drugs do have their places in medical treatments. However, they often treat only the symptoms and not the root of the problem.


The immune system protects the body from harmful invaders round the clock and is dependent on food for strength and proper function. Fortunately, we can choose foods that will nourish and strengthen the immune system. The link between nutrition and the immune system is the basis of the special science known as Nutritional Immunology.


The World Health Organization says that an estimated 40% of cancers worldwide can be prevented by exercising, not using tobacco and eating healthy foods. Nutritional Immunology focuses on wholesome plant foods rich in disease-fighting nutrients like antioxidants, phytochemicals and polysaccharides.


Research shows that these nutrients are extremely beneficial to strengthening the immune functions and cancer prevention. Wholesome plant foods are a better source of nutrients as they are more easily absorbed than chemically processed nutrients.


营养免疫学与人体健康

不良的饮食习惯,吸烟以及喝酒,这三项与多种癌症息息相关的因素,促使癌魔加紧脚步,敲响亚洲人民健康的警钟。一些专家估计,到了2020年,亚洲人的患癌症率将增加60%。

以肉类为主的高脂肪,高盐分饮食取代富含蔬菜水果的饮食习惯,将增加罹患胃癌与结肠癌的机率。虽然,现代人的平均寿命都增加了,罹患致命病毒的机率也大大减低,但是不良的饮食习惯却可能大大增加人们罹患癌症的风险。

在这凡事讲求速度的时代,大多数人生病时都倾向于服用抗生素与药物。抗生素与药物在医疗方面确实有其功效,然而却是治标不治本。

免疫系统确保人体无时无刻免受有害物的侵害,而维持其强健运作的关键就在与食物的摄取。幸运的是,我们能够选择有效滋养与增强免疫系统功能的食物,而营养与免疫系统之间的关系正是营养免疫学这独特科学的研究所在。

世界卫生组织估计世上约有40%的癌症可以透过运动,戒烟及健康饮食加以预防。营养免疫学专注与研究富含抵抗疾病营养素的完整植物性食物,这些营养素包括抗氧化剂,植物营养素以及多糖体。

研究显示,这些营养素对增强免疫功能与预防癌症非常有助益。完整植物性营养是这些营养的绝佳来源,相较于经过化学处理的营养素,它们更容易为人体吸收,一般也效为可口。


Nutritional Immunology and Our Skin

Clear, beautiful skin is achieved by fortifying the body inside out. The same nutrients that are good for your body are also vital for healthy skin. Hence, E.Excel has developed products high in nutrients. Apart from combating free radicals in the body, antioxidants nourish the body's first line of defense - the skin.

营养免疫学与肌肤健康

晶莹美丽的肌肤因身体内外的健康协调而达成。有益身体的营养对促进肌肤健康同样重要。因此,丞燕开发了富含身体与肌肤所需营养产品。其中最重要的首推抗氧化剂,除了能够抵御自由基对身体的伤害,抗氧化剂也能滋养人体的第一道防线-皮肤。

Beautiful Skin from the Inside Out

Here's the skinny on how to attain beautiful skin from within :


Fiber Up !

Rev up your digestive system with a high-fiber diet. Fiber - found only in plant sources - is essential for clearing toxins from the digestive system so they do not reach the rest of the body. Both soluble and insoluble fibers are essential for good health.


Soluble fiber is found in natural psyllium husks, apple, strawberries, broccoli and other fruits and vegetables. Good sources of insoluble fiber include green leafy vegetables, whole grains and celery. Whole foods are preferable to fiber supplements. The latter does not provide the beneficial nutrients the high-fiber foods do.


由内而外 肌肤光彩无暇

想要拥有光彩无暇的肌肤,以下几点不可不知 :

摄取高量钎维

在饮食中摄取高量钎维,维持消化系统健康。钎维仅存于植物类,主要帮助消化系统进行排毒作用,以防止身体受到危害。可溶性与非可溶性钎维对保持身体健康同样重要。

可溶性钎维存在于洋车前子,苹果,草莓,花椰菜以及各种蔬菜水果中。非可溶性钎维的优质来源包括绿色多叶蔬菜,全谷类和芹菜。完整性食物比钎维补充物更有益人体健康,因为钎维补充物无法提供高钎维食物富含的其他有益健康的营养素。


Protect Your Liver For Healthy Skin

A healthy liver contributes to clear, beautiful skin as it neutralizes toxins. When the liver is overworked and cannot clear toxins from the body, other eliminative organs, such as skin, try to remove these toxins. This causes the skin to erupt in acne, rashes, eczema, resulting in a dull and unhealthy complexion. Puffy eyelids in the morning may also indicate a stressed liver.


Help your liver by decreasing its toxin burden. Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, refined sugar, chemical additives, and junk foods.


保护肝脏健康 增进肌肤亮丽

肝脏健康,肌肤自然清透亮丽,因为肝脏能够排除体内毒素。

当肝脏操劳过度,无法进行排毒作用时,人体其他具有排毒功能的器官,例如皮肤,就会发挥清除毒素的功能,于是出现粉刺,红疹等现象。肌肤也显得黯淡无光。早上起床眼睛浮肿也可能是由于肝脏过度操劳而引起的现象。

减轻肝脏负担,照顾肝脏健康,例如避免喝酒,吸烟,减少精制糖份,化学添加物以及低营养高热量零食的摄取。


Nourish Your Skin with Antioxidants and Phytochemicals

Free radical damages is bad for the skin because it weakens the support structures, thereby decreasing elasticity and eventually causing wrinkles and sagging. Antioxidants in the diet help prevent free radical damage and are vital for healthy, glowing skin.


The human body manufactures it own set of antioxidants. However, this innate ability to repair free radical damage weakens as the body ages. Hence scientists recommend a diet rich in antioxidants to help reinforce this ability.


Antioxidants can be found in our foods, including various vegetables, fruits and herbs. Nutritional experts recommend obtaining your antioxidants from whole foods rather than supplements. Your body knows how to process natural nutrients from foods much better than manufactured and varieties.


In addition to antioxidants, vegetables, fruits and herbs also contain protective, disease-preventing plant chemicals known as phytochemicals.


摄取抗氧化剂与植物营养素滋养肌肤

自由基造成的伤害会削弱肌肤组织,使之失去弹性,逐渐产生皱纹及松弛等现象。从饮食中摄取抗氧化剂有助于预防自由基的伤害,对促进健康亮丽的肌肤十分重要。

人体也能够自行产生抗氧化剂来修复自由基造成的伤害,然而,这项能力会随着年龄增长而逐渐衰弱。因此,科学家建议人们透过摄取富含抗氧化剂的饮食来增强这项功能。

抗氧化剂存在于各种食物中包括各种蔬菜,水果以及草本植物。营养学家建议人们透过摄取完整性食物来获取抗氧化剂,而非靠服用抗氧化剂补充物,因为与种类繁多的人造食品相比,我们的身体较能够更好地从食物中摄取天然有益的营养素。

除了抗氧化剂,蔬菜水果以及草本植物也富含具有保护功能和抵御疾病的植物性化合物,称为植物营养素。


Eat Light, Eat Right

Help your skin look its best with these simple daily measures :

  • Cut back on sugar and high glycemic carbohydrates (carbohydrates that convert rapidly to sugar in the bloodstream, such as potatoes, white rice and white flour). These foods can cause a spike in your blood sugar, which may lead to glycation - a process in which sugar molecules attach to collagen fibers, causing the latter to lose strength and flexibility, resulting in wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity.
  • Glycation also creates "free radical factories" known as advanced glycation products (AGEs), which also increase cellular inflammation, further damaging cells, collagen and elastin.
  • Avoid caffeine. Caffeine may raise cortisol levels. Both caffeine and elevated cortisol levels dehydrate the body. This leads to dehydrated skin and premature wrinkling. Drink more water for clear, radiant skin. Water flushes toxins out of vital organs, and carries nutrients to your cells. It is also essential for maintaining skin elasticity and suppleness.


Good nutrition is the key to healthy skin. What's more, nutrients that contribute to beautiful skin also contribute to general well-being. Bolster your skin health with wholesome plant foods. Your skin (and overall health) will thank you for it !


吃出健康肌肤

以下这些简单的生活习惯,有助于打造亮丽肌肤 :

  • 减少摄取糖分和升糖指数较高的碳水化合物食物(快速转换成糖分并进入血液的碳水化合物,例如马铃薯,白饭,面粉)。这些食物会引起血糖升高,并导致糖基化作用-糖分子附着在胶原钎维上,造成后者失去弹性,进而引起皱纹以及使肌肤失去弹性。
  • 糖基化作用也会形成自由基“制造工厂”--糖基化终末产物,增加细胞发炎的机率,并进一步造成细胞,胶原蛋白和弹性蛋白损伤。
  • 避免摄取咖啡因。咖啡因会提高皮质酵水平,而咖啡因和皮质酵水平的增加会造成身体缺少水分,进而使肌肤干燥,提早产生皱纹。
  • 多喝水使肌肤透亮富有光泽。水能清除主要器官内的毒素,同时为细胞运送营养素,对维持肌肤柔嫩富有弹性十分重要。

摄取优质营养是保持肌肤健康的重要因素,而且,有益肌肤健康的营养也能使身体达到全面健康。因此,透过摄取完整植物性食物来维持肌肤亮丽,全身健康也因此获益无穷。

心灵小息 二零零八年三月 Spiritual Rest Stop (March 2008)

向前看 !

有一位年轻人,走到马戏班拜师,要学习走钢线的功夫。几个月后,师傅认为年青人已掌握了基础的技巧,所以便要年青人走到钢线,正式练习。


虽然地面已有装有安全网,可是年青人第一次走上几十尺的高台,心里实在战战兢兢。当走了十多步之后,他往下看,越看心里就越惊慌,差点儿失去重心。


就在这时,师傅在地面大声喝叫了一句话,令年青人重获信心,再次取得平衡,那句话就是:“向前看”!


请您想一想:

你就是你自己的师傅,当面对逆境和挑战,记紧对自己说:“向前看!专心一意,面对目前”。


Look Ahead !

A young man went to the circus wanting to learn how to walk on a tightrope. After a few months, the teacher felt that the young man had been able to master some of the fundamental skills, and wanted him to formally train on the tightrope.


Despite the fact that there was a safety net spread underneath him, the young man was dead afraid, as it was the first time he ever had to walk so high above the ground. After walking a couple of steps, he looked down. The more he looked down, the more fearful he got, and he almost lost his balance.


Just then the teacher shouted from the floor something that gave the young man renewed confidence : "Look ahead !"


Think about it :

You are your own teacher. Whenever you are facing difficulty or challenges, tell yourself, "Look ahead !" Be focused and face the present.

Spiritual Rest Stop 心灵小息

There were three construction workers. One day, after a hard day's work, they went back to their respective homes.


On the way home, the first worker was thinking, "If not because I have to lead a living, I would never do that bricklaying work. It's killing me !"


The second worker was thinking, "I have to do that bricklaying work every day. How monotonous !"


The third worker was thinking, " I worked very hard today to complete a majestic church, and after the church is completed, hundreds of people can come here for the prayer service. What a meaningful project this is !"


Now, please think about it :

Are you complaining, throwing your temper, or being creative in your life ?

Are you laying that bricks or wall or moving forward to a meaningful goal ?

Always remember to focus your mind on the bright future.

有三个建筑工人,一天工作完了各自回家。

在返家途中,第一个工人心里想:“要不是为了生活,我真不会做那砌砖工作,辛苦得很。”

第二个工人心里想:“每天就是在砌砖,真是沉闷得叫人发疯。”

第三个工人心里想:“我每天为了完成一所宏伟的教堂而努力,完成后教堂可容纳几百人做礼拜,这实在是一件极有意义的工程。“

想一想:

在生活中,你是在投诉,在愤怒,还是有所创造呢?你是在砌砖,砌墙,还是为有意义的目标前进呢?请紧记,将思想集中于光明前景。

Going Downhill After 30??

Time, is the greatest factor that brings about ageing in women. Oh, sorry, not only women, but for the men as well. When we enter the maturity phase, we have to watch out so that our facial complexion would not quietly disclose our real age ! The healthy and impeccable complexion that we used to enjoy would slowly lose its gloss and tenderness with passing of time. As such, we can no longer overlook the importance of skincare. How long we want to keep the youthful look of our complexion will have to depend on how much effort we put in !

When a man & woman turns 30, traces of age will begin surface on his/her face. With the advancement of age, the skin will present the signs of ageing. When we turn 30, our skin will begin to experience some changes, as the sebaceous secretion will dwindle and the skin will be rendered dry. When the outer skin become thinner, and subcutaneous secretion is reduced, the tissue will lose some of its elasticity, and wrinkles and eye pockets will ensure, while the skin becomes inelastic and lax. On top of that, the skin will also become more sentisive due to the ageing process, making it easy to develop rashes in response to external stimulation.

THE FIVE SIGNS OF A 30-SOMETHING :

  1. The cuticle layer will present irregular coarseness showing that the skin is beginning to show signs of inadequate moisture and oil, so that the skin will appear dull.
  2. The capillaries under the skin can be seen easily, showing that the cells on the true skin are beginning to thin out so that the capillaries beneath have become easily visible.
  3. The "press line" on our face as we wake up in the morning, will take a longer time to disappear, showing the gradual depletion of the collagen on our true skin, such that the skin will become less elastic now.
  4. The black eye and eye pocket phenomena become easily visible, and this situation could be worsened if we sleep too late, showing that the blood circulation on the skin around the eyes is no longer as it used to be, and that the elasticity of the tissues is decreated, thus presenting the phenomena of dullness and puffing easily.
  5. The micro-wrinkles and wrinkles around the eyes and forehead will be manifested fully on slight smile, showing that the skin has lost its tenderness and elasticity and begins to age.

Consequently, to stay youthful, skincare is of utmost importance in order to slow down the pace of ageing and to retain that 18-year-old-look. Other than applying skincare products to improve the quality of the skin, the below also of paramount importance:

  1. Balanced diet - food in rich of antioxidant, pyotochemical and polysaccharide.
  2. Adequate rest - at least sleep 8 hours a day on routine time.
  3. Stable emotion - a harmful hormone will generate if we are in negative emotion.
  4. Adequate physical exercises - improve blood circulation, discharge the harmful hormone & chemical toxic.

The above are helping our immuse system to function well in :

  • Defence the intruders to our body like dust, bacteria, viruses.
  • Clear out the rubbish like ageing red blood
  • Repair our damaged cells.

In addition, the skin will become drier when we turn 30, and while the principles of skincare should be focused on the facial complexion, the care of the skin on the other parts of our body must also not be overlooked in order to achieve holistic beauty. As such, we must avoid excessively hot bath and avoid the use of soap and ordinary shower cream. Instead, we should opt for gentle and healthy shower cream and moisturizer to provide the skin deeper nourishment.

我的红尘感受

总是在夜深人静时,感觉特别的孤单;

每当夜深人静时,总是变得特别敏感;


想很多。。。。。。


想为什么有些人可以很诚恳;

有些人却可以连藉口都说的不诚恳;

而诚恳总是被不诚恳所伤害。。。。。。


想为什么有些人可以处处为人着想;

有些人却忍心自私的过着自己喜欢的方式;

而不会去想别人的感受。。。。。。


想为什么有些人可以无私地为别人付出;

有些人却吝啬地连一点点都不奉献;

而付出的越多;伤害也特别的大。。。。


慢慢。。。慢慢地。。。

诚恳的不再诚恳;

付出的不再付出;

因为付出的,害怕伤害;

害怕伤害,就宁愿不再付出。。。

Merry Christmas

I'm not a Christian who celebrated Christmas. But as Malaysian, we enjoy the multi-cultural. We celebrated Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Aldilfitri, Deepavali & Christmas with our multi-race compatriot. I think we will never experience the celebration of Raya Aldilfitri and Deepavali with fire cracker, Ang Bao at oversea country. The mixed culture of Malay, Chinese & Indian, I believe it only available at Malaysia. It's means "Malaysia Boleh" and we are proud of it.


So let us appreciate what we have, my Christmas wish :

We shared the development & prosperity together.

We are the same, we born here, we grow here, we love this country & we are "ANAK BANGSA MALAYSIA"

二零零七年十二月十四日

路走到了今天,又打回了原形.一片迷失的森林,真的,要走出去,那么难吗?还是当局者不愿闯出去?


一年又快要过了,原来过去一年我可以这样过,从来也没想过.我真的可以孤孤寂寂的过日子.那接下来的一年我又要怎么过?想了想,家人还是最重要.新的一年,希望可以抽多一点时间陪家人,远方的妈妈,爸爸,姐姐,弟弟,三个妹妹,我有一个很幸福的家!可能因为上一代的恩怨,到了这一代,感情特别好.我希望我的家人健健康康.多给我一点时间,我已经很努力了,我一定会让我的家人过的好好的,无论我现在要怎样吃苦.


一件不幸的事情发生了.我的朋友,希望接下来的日子,你也一样会好好过.无论发生了什么事,路还是要继续走.人生不会因为一件事而停下来,记住我们还有其他好多好多的...
