First taste of korean food

Had my first taste of korean food  just now , a joyful & memorable evening out with 3 friends .
 This is really a great achievement for me , for one who is ultra picky on  food . There is a whole list of foods that I have never tried and will not try . Weird ? so it is ! but I cant help it , the habit is unexplainable . I am puzzled myself . Most of the time I blame it on  the strong sense of smell that I am gifted , albeit to my own disadvantage in the food sense .

Food That I Dont Eat 

Meat  - all except chicken , pork , venison .
Dairy Products ( milk , cheese ..... )
Salad dressings , all white creamy stuffs...
AND
Any other food(s)  that I have not tried before !

Money management - The core values

I got this from " The simple Living for just giving " . Four themes on wealth Wealth is a blessing: it is good! Wealth must be distributed justly: since it is good, God wants society to be ordered so everybody has a fair chance to have some. Wealth is dangerous: although it is good, it can do serious damage to our spiritual health. Wealth is to be shared with the poor: it is our privilege and responsibility to share with those who have less than us. Four lifestyle commitments: Spend joyfully: Regularly give thanks for the blessing of wealth. Spend justly: Continually analyze our spending patterns in order to consume more justly. Spend less: Simplify our lifestyles by buying less for personal consumption. Give more: Intelligently and compassionately invest a significant portion of our income in the fight against global poverty. Add all this up and you get simple living for just giving.

GOSSIP - Don't we all love it ?

I do ! To hear a little tittle-tattle about people we know . Always entertaining , intriguing - of course I musn't be the subject ! Oscar Wilde once remarked " my own business bores me to death , I prefer other people's " . True to the core , I must say ! And you know what ? This activity actually improves social bonding ! I am not glorifying GOSSIPS though . All said , I am not for the type that spreads dirt + misinformation , the type that spreads like a disease on a rampage till the grain of truth becomes unrecognisable ! Sad to say , there is plenty of it in our local political reports !

What my doc said !

Doc called at about 1 pm ( his lunch hour , am honoured !) just to inform me that everything is good with my medical tests .He has forgotten that I was supposed to see him again for a review ( my reaction to Cozaar , whether it has brought my BP down ) at 3 pm this afternoon too . Doc was actually in a superb mood when I stepped into his office . Happy with my readings ( he said it was 130 - very good - it seems ) I took the reading just before i came ( 119/72 ) On going through the medical test results , this is what he said YOUR LIVER AND KIDNEY FUNCTION PERFECT YOUR THYROID FUNCTION BACK TO NORMAL , STOP MEDICATION WHEN I FINISH THE MEDICINE. LDL / HDL BOTH HIGH CHOLESTEROL - A BIT HIGH . RECOMMENDATION - GO ON DIET ) To see him again when he comes back from UK in 2 weeks time ! I am really grateful , pleased and relieved to get the report today .
