And let me tell you, if you still believe in true love or sacrificial love or ever-lasting love, then you'll surely get hook with this drama.

My back and shoulders are totally aching from all the household chores (including cleaning the front and backyard, incredibly tough job to pull out those weeds and sweep them and dunk them in the bin). But, well, at least the house's spotless ^__^

Botswana's Khama Blames ZANU-PF in Zimbabwe Crisis, Raises Ballot Option

President Ian Khama of Botswana gave the simmering Zimbabwe crisis a stir on Friday with a state of the union speech in which he accused the ZANU-PF party of President Robert Mugabe of violating the 2008 Global Political Agreement for power-sharing in Harare and suggesting that new elections in Zimbabwe may be required to end a power stalemate.




In his address to Botswana, Mr. Khama voiced concern at the “continued failure of ZANU-PF to fully honor the GPA." President Khama added that “in the absence of genuine partnership, it would be better for all parties to go back to the people, for they are the ultimate authority to determine who should form the government of Zimbabwe.”



Mr. Khama has long been Mr. Mugabe's most outspoken critic among heads of state in the Southern African Development Community, guarantor of the power-sharing agreement, but his latest statement was one of the most blunt and far-reaching in scope.



Speaking for the Movement for Democratic Change formation of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, Information Communications Technology Nelson Chamisa said the party welcomed Mr. Khama's statement. He said that if SADC-sponsored talks within the government failed to resolve the so-called outstanding issues which have troubled the government since its inception, internationally monitored elections would be the next option.



ZANU-PF Deputy Spokesman Ephraim Masawi said he had not seen Mr. Khama’s full statement and therefore declined to comment.

Here's a special shoutout to Tze Yan, an old friend of mine who reads my blog and chat with me yesterday. Thanks very much for the support and it was really nice chatting with you on MSN.

Had a weird encounter today, all my cold fingers became itchy when I wash them with warm water. I asked Yoong and he said that its because of the dilatation and constriction (membesar dan mengecil, 膨胀和收缩) of my blood vessel. Always get this whenever I try to wash my hands.

Baked Rice With Cheese

This is totally easy and yummy. All I need is to place the ingredients in a bowl and chuck it in the oven to bake. And its totally filling too.

Place rice and green peas in a oven-able dish.

Pour a can of mushroom soup cream on top of rice.

Arrange sliced potatoes and mushrooms on top of the mushroom soup.

Place slices of salami or any other sausages (or meat products like ham) on top of the mushrooms.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Nah, the layer of items in the bowl. Pretty colourful isn't it??

After baking for 30-40 minutes.

Its so so pretty. Golden brown and evenly spread. Just the way I like my cheese to be.

Absolutely delicious. You really have to try this, once in a life time, or else, definitely will regret one.

Gonna set up the Christmas tree this weekend. Hopefully it wouldn't be chaos like last year. And hopefully it doesn't bring any bad luck cuz I am a Guan Yin and Buddha and Pu Sa believer.

How To Prevent Hair Loss

I am definitely having a problem with my hair which is constantly falling at an unusual rate. Not the normal, you know, 50 strands per day type, which I think about 15 strands of hair would fall off whenever I wash my hair.

And its really un-nerving, if I might say because I don't wanna end up a baldy old lady which I couldn't even use a hair pin T__T

Therefore, its googling time...

5 natural steps to prevent hair loss (sorry, I can't remember from which site did I obtained this info)

1. Eat and drink Biotin

Biotin is a very essential vitamin that will aid in hair growth and you can get this in foods such as honey, milk and bananas. A great, healthy and tasty way to get biotin is to make a blended shake with these ingredients and yogurt.

2. Stop stress

Stress is one of the leaders for hair loss reasons and the least amount of stress you allow in your life the better for your hair. Get a stress ball, get a massage and do whatever you can to release all the stress from your life.

3. Massage scalp everytime

Massaging your head in the shower not only cleanses your scalp but it also increases the blood flow and circulation within your head. This is important as you age because circulation slows down the older you get and you should keep circulation in mind.

4. Sleep

Sleep cures a lot of problems and it is vital to keeping the entire body in sync and healthy. Your hair is only one of the things that will benefit from getting proper sleep (7 to 9 hours of sleep per night consistently).

5. Get Vitamin B in your diet and take supplement

Vitamin B is one of the most essential vitamins you can get and Vitamin B6 a key to healthy hair. If you don feel that you are getting enough Vitamin B in your foods everyday then you should look into getting a good vitamin supplement to go with your daily regimen.

Zimbabwe Agrees Not to Export Disputed Diamonds, U.S. Says

By Brian Latham



 (Bloomberg) -- Zimbabwe’s government won’t export diamonds from its disputed Marange diamond fields until it has put in measures to better monitor trading in the gems.



“Zimbabwe agreed not to export Marange diamonds until the monitoring mechanism is established,” Ian Kelly, a spokesman for the U.S. State Department, said in an e-mailed statement yesterday.



The Kimberley Process, a global body created to curb trade in gems mined to fund conflict, on Nov. 5 decided not suspend Zimbabwe’s membership, saying it supports the nation’s attempts to work toward compliance with the group’s requirements.



Marange was seized by the Zimbabwe government from Maidstone, England-based African Consolidated Resources Plc in 2006 after gems were found. As many as 20,000 illegal miners besieged the area, also known as Chiadzwa, and were later cleared off by the army and police. New York-based Human Rights Watch says more than 200 were killed last year. Zimbabwe’s police say they have had no reports of atrocities.
