Cooking Instant Noodles

Hi all, I received this piece of information from my friend through email. Not really sure if the information is true to its saying, but nevertheless it is always better to be safe than sorry. Read on!


For all who love eating Maggi
DO NOT IGNORE THIS ....... Especially those fond of Maggi.......

'CORRECT WAY OF COOKING NOODLES'
The correct way to cook instant noodles without harming our bodies and health. `Normally, how we cook the instant noodles is to put the noodles
into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes and then it's ready to eat.

This is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles.

By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structures of the MSG
causing it to be toxic.

The other thing that you may or may not realize is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to
excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles.

CORRECT METHOD :

1. boil the noodles in a pot with water.
2. once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.
3. boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire.
4. only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredient with the powder into the water, to make noodle
soup.
5. however, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles and add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.

Dietician's Note: If you buy plain hakka noodles which you make initially need to boil in water and discard the water. This will soften
the noodles but to prevent it from sticking we need to add a tbsp of oil and also the noodles are deep fried partially to make it crunchy and
then dusted with flour to prevent it from sticking while boiling. Hence when you buy the noodles they are already made unhealthy and this
is the type we use to make stir fry noodles and the regular maggi too is made the same way plus they add MSG/ ajinomoto and other chemical
preservatives.


A large number of patient with the ages ranging from 18-24 years are ending up with pancreatitis either as a swelling or infection of the
pancreas due to regular consumption of instant noodles..... If the frequency is more than 3 times a week, then it is very hazardous...

JUST for a laugh… Reality does not conform to the ideal, but confirms it.

JUST for a laugh… A day where the word form filled my form!

Do you know the word FORM has many different forms of meaning? Read on…

Mr Lee Kar Leong is a form teacher of class 4N who is always collecting forms from pupils who cant submit consent form on a given uniform date. The body forms of his pupils are constantly developing horizontally (ie. Ihsan, Albert, Javier, Kelvin, Yong Liang and Daniel) and that shows their form of unhealthy lifestyle. Please do not form a habit of drinking carbonated drinks as it can form gradual undesired body form. Although there is no form of formula to keep yourself fit and shapely, you can always rely on having a controlled diet and regular exercises to gear yourself to top form. Tardiness is definitely considered as bad form. A good athletic can enjoy an unusual form if he keeps up at the top of his form. A form can provide tired legs with ample rest after a strenuous exercise; however do not try to form a temporary form using broken branches as it might give way and breaks its form. Pupils who present their thoughts or ideas in outline form during oral examination shows great communication form. There might be a form created for the display of clothes but there is surely no fixed form of rules to be a good teacher.

Lastly, my takeaway for the day is to be satisfied with your current academic/body form and that will certainly form great impression on people who are around you!
So do not change for the sake of changing just be your own best FORM!

"Colorless green ideas sleep furiously"

"Colourless green ideas sleep furiously" is a sentence composed by Noam Chomsky in 1957 as an example of a sentence whose grammar is correct but whose meaning is nonsensical.

Therefore in English grammar, there is no hard and fast rules that says it must be observed in a particular way. An example can be the use of "To". Most of us are taught in primary school that any verb that comes after "to" must be of no tense or rather be in its primary form. Example: to run, to eat , to sleep.
So what about "looking forward to seeing you"?
Spend some time to think about it. I will post the answer real soon.

Adolescence ( Or simply what pupils call "Acting to be matured")

Well, to further add on to my previous posting on "The abuse of pupils using the word LIKE". I would like to touch on another topic called "ADOLESCENCE". Goodness, gracious me! Why and how did I come up with such a topic to gossip about? Okay! Like what I had mentioned earlier on, whenever I am blogging issues that involves pupils, it simply means i am seeing or hearing it. Back to my topic for the day,teenagers who are at the age of between 11 to 18 generally starts to think differently and wants to see themselves being different.
Before I start to dwell and gossip about about it, let me explain what is ADOLESCENCE".

What is ADOLESCENCE?
Adolescence is a transitional stage of physical and mental human development that occurs between childhood and adulthood. This transition involves biological (i.e. pubertal), social, and psychological changes, though the biological or physiological ones are the easiest to measure objectively. In recent years, however, the start of puberty has seen an increase in preadolescence and extension beyond the teenage years, making adolescence less simple to discern.

So what's the gossip about?
Some pupils in the P5's and P6's are talking about relationship and term like "ACBC" surfaced. Haha! do you actually understand what is "ACBC". Anyway I just found out the term "ACBC", it apparently means "Act cool Buay cool". So what does it mean in proper standard English? The term means trying to behave matured but in vain.

The whole thing started because of a P6 boy "flaming" a P5 girl. The P5 girl mentioned something like she hated a boy in her class. This P6 boy behaved cowardly by posting an anonymous message that said she was acting like a P6 girl, trying to be cool. Reading his message, psychologically it tells me that he thinks P6 is the stage where maturity begins. And he is the one who is being matured. Now, this is what I call the kettle calling the pot black. Well, pupils who are reading this do LOL if u want.

Conclusion to this is adolescence issue is that it a stage whereby all of us will go through and laugh about it one day especially when you are in your adulthood. Well, I certainly had gone passed this stage donkey years ago. It is always great to be in this flamboyant age of 11 to 18. So, do you think i tried to ACBC while I'm in this stage. Ha ha, well your guess is as good as mine. I certainly did. lol.

Last but not least, enjoy while you are in your adolescence as this is the period where fond memory lingers and floods you when you get older next time.
Happy Post Valentine's Day!
Ciao!

Pupils "CCA" !

This is something our teenagers are interested to discuss about. Their "CCA" and no it does not stands for Curriculum Activities instead it now "officially" stands for "Curriculum Affairs". As February 14 is getting near, a lot of kisses and hugs will be seen "flying" around. Actually, I am quite shocked to learn that pupils are starting to talk about this supposedly taboo topic. Some pupils of mine told me about their puppy love "affairs". Well i think it is just parts and parcel of life that these pupils are going through at the moment. Some said they are already "in love " with another party since Primary One! OMG how can this ever happened. Primary One? What do they know at that time? haha! Maybe, that is just a form of mutual liking. Imagine my "Guai Guai" pupils like Wenxin, Jacqlene, Emerald , Jiawen, Hamizah and Siti K are all involves in such "underground" affairs. It really beats me if that is really true to its saying. Especially pupils like J.O like A.Neo. W.T like H.S. . So what is really the term like used over here. So lets take a step back and learn what is the meaning of like in our English Language.

Meaning of "LIKE"
ike 1 (lk)
v. liked, lik·ing, likes
v.tr.
1. To find pleasant or attractive; enjoy.
2. To want to have: would like some coffee.
3. To feel about; regard: How do you like her nerve!
4. Archaic To be pleasing to.
v.intr.
1. To have an inclination or a preference: If you like, we can meet you there.

So, LIKE simply means to find someone or something that is pleasant or attractive, and it is also a form of feeling in wanting to be with that person.

So pupils who mentioned that they like someone is just a very simple and casual way of expressing their likings for something or someone whom they feel good with. Example J.Ong like A.Neo is just a very simple and pure state of likeness that does not involves any complicated thoughts.

Well, to end this piece of writing, let me wish all young ones who are out there liking each other. HAAAAAA. A Happy Valentine's Day!

When do we use has and have?

When do we use has and have?

Jacqline and Emerald have or has ?

Daniel and the men has or have?

'Have' is used after all plural subjects and 'I' and 'you' and 'has' is used after singular subjects. A subject can consist of one word (such as Sean, food, people) or of a group of words (such as the dog, the people, Hamizah and I). Where the meaning appears to be one thing i.e. is singular (except for 'I' and 'you'), we use 'has'. Otherwise, we use 'have'.

Singular Examples

Mr Lee has a new car.

The pupil has a new pen.


Plural Examples

They have many problems to deal with.

The boys have no idea what the girls are planning.

Siti and Risa have some solutions they can offer.

The boys and their father have a system that they follow.

2. Which should we use? Welcome or welcomed?

You are welcome!

His advice would be welcomed.

'Welcome' is used an adjective to describe something you are happy to receive or someone that you are happy to meet.

Examples

The money was very welcome.

Children are most welcome.

'Welcome' can also be a verb and we can use it very like any other verb.

Examples

She is welcoming the guests.

He welcomed his in-laws' visit.

His advice was welcomed.
