Recommended insurance via telephone

These days I got two calls from two different credit card centers. They managed to persuade me to join a certain insurance, which is a product cooperated with another insurance company. It is said that it is a telephone operation model learned from overseas. To be frank, I am annoyed with it. On the one hand, that kinda insurance may not suit me. On the other hand, telephone operation worried me. After all, it is not face-to-face. It seems that it is easy to accept with the help of an insurance agent. So I meant to refuse her when she call again. However, it is necessary to have insurance awareness as early as possible.

Everything is coming up roses

I hope: Everything is coming up roses.

"come up roses" is an expression I just now learned. I think I have grasped it.

I remember, on Mid-Autumn Day, I, with my good friend climbed Baiyun Mountain. At that time, going for a walk along the path, we played a joke that we each made three wishes. Anyway, they must be related to heath, family, work, etc. All in all, that is, we hope everything's coming up roses. For everyone, so it is. No exception. It is so.

What is melamine?

The other day, I hung out. At the window of some stores on the roadside, I saw " ** Milk, buy one and get another free". In some supermarkets, so it is. And in Guangzhou, local milk products are more popular. All of these because of the Sanlu Milk scandal, Sanlu Milk products were tested with the highest content of melamine. Before this incident, I was not familiar with the word, melamine. What is melamine?

Melamine is an organic base chemical most commonly found in the form of white crystals rich in nitrogen

What is melamine generally used for?

Melamine is widely used in plastics, adhesives, countertops, dishware, whiteboards.

Why was melamine added into milk and powdered infant formula?

In China, where adulteration has occurred, water has been added to raw milk to increase its volume. As a result of this dilution the milk has a lower protein concentration. Companies using the milk for further production (e.g. of powdered infant formula) normally check the protein level through a test measuring nitrogen content. The addition of melamine increases the nitrogen content of the milk and therefore its apparent protein content.

Addition of melamine into food is not approved by the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius (food standard commission), or by any national authorities.

What are the health effects of melamine consumptions in humans?

While there are no direct human studies on the effect of melamine data from animal studies can be used to predict adverse health effects. Melamine alone causes bladder stones in animal tests. When combined with cyanuric acid, which may also be present in melamine powder, melamine can form crystals that can give rise to kidney stones.

These small crystals can also block the small tubes in the kidney potentially stopping the production of urine, causing kidney failure and, in some cases, death. Melamine has also been shown to have carcinogenic effects in animals in certain circumstances, but there is insufficient evidence to make a judgment on carcinogenic risk in humans.

Mid-autumn Day is around the corner

( lantern riddles )

Mid-autumn Day is on the way. Another Day I will spend without my parents, my sister and my brother. Since I graduated from senior school, almost spend it outside. In fact, in China, Mid-autumn Day is really a traditional Day when all family get together, chat cheerly and enjoy the moon. Of course don't forget those delicious mooncakes. To some extent, it is just like Thanksgiving Day in the USA.

For me, Mid-autumn Day is more different and meaningful. Cos it is also my father's birthday. Far away from home, here, I give my best regards to my dear father: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dad. May you happy, healthy... ^_^

Credit card

This afternoon, I applied a credit card of Minsheng Bank. Before this, I have never had any credit card. On the one hand, out of the consideration of safty; on the other hand, I think it unnecessary for me. So I am so firm all the way, although many of colleagues around me have many different cards from different banks. To be frank, I didn't know more about credit cards. In order to make good use it and control my expense, I have to learn some via the Internet right now. After all, there are so much experience from others. Just FMI. Of course coins have two sides.

Trip to Big Hippo Water World

Today we went to Big Hippo Water World in the hot sun. I tried almost every one, for example, the Riptide, the Gyral Pipe, Swimming pool, Surfing board, etc. But the vertical one, I dare not to try. After playing, you will adapt to it, not that frightened. In fact, I am frightened of water. I think, it is unpredictable, changeable. But this time I take a challenge. Not only enjoyed comfortable one, but also experienced exciting ones. When I floated on the water, moving with the water up and down, I am so comfortable. Although sometimes water went into my eyes, nose, mouth, I made it. Hooray!

Fish follow the bait

No Free Lunch, really true. For something, you must, have to, pay for that. Absolutely.

I fell into the trap again. Maybe you had likewise experience, too. What happens is that you get a certain information, for example, answer some quesions by text messages stey by step, and you'll gain some ( e.g: call charges, QQ coins, etc. ). Reply once, it will charge you 2 yuan. At the beginning, it will offer quite easy questions. An example, ?+3=4, or ?*4=8. Easy enough and you will follow the bait and go on replying. However, when it is going on the 5th question maybe the trap is waiting for you. E.g: This question is: Find out the regular pattern and fill in the missing number ( 3, ?, 9, 17, 33 ). No doubt the answer is 5. Congrats. Then the following is: finding the missing number ( 7, 10, ?, 12, 11, 14 ). My answer is 9. It's right, I think. But it told you are wrong. So you can't get what you want. Gosh. A trick.

In a word,when you go after small gains you may suffer big loss.

Quality & Service

There is something wrong with my PC so that I didn't blog last night. It's the 2nd time that I have to phone Dell Customer Service ( 800-858-0950 ) for help. Last time I couldn't link to the internet. This time, what's worse, it's even power off. It can't work at all. So gloomy I am. Nevertheless, they are kind and patient to solve the problem. I should say their attitude is top and perfect. Wish the products are as good as the service. ^_^

Facing the fierce competition, every enterprise will try every means. Advertising campaigns, sales strategies, etc. They will do whatever they can do so as to stand out in a world full of competition. Without any doubt, besides what mentioned above, quality and service are two important cards. They directly play a decisive role in the success of sale. If quality is premise, service is guarantee. They both make a difference. Someone thinks service itself is a commodity. What do you think?

......

It was a pity that my Xianrenqiu died. It was just with me four months. It was a birthday gift. I put it near the computer. I looked at it when I was at work every day. I looked after it carefully. My friend was very strange, he said it was easy to keep. Why can't I keep it long. Oh, gosh. It reminded me of the goldfish that I bought last Spring Festival. They died in a week. ......How to ...

Born in the 1970s

Are you born in the 1970s? What's in your mind?

The 1970's is a significant age for China. During that age, many events have a great influence on the generations. The Great Tangshan Earthquake、reform and opening up、establishment of diplomatic relations、birth-control policy、restoration of college entrance examination system, etc. Those born in the 1970's are in his/her thirties now, they are conservative, strong responsible, iron-minded. Many people are excellant in different fields. They have many many memories. Favorite snacks, classic pop songs, simple toys, unforgettable cartoons laid a root in our mind. Esp. those well-know nursery rhymes, for example, Twinkle, twinkle, little star; News boy; One penny; Little swallow; Clever Yixiu; Two tigers; School song, etc.

This afternoon, I listened to Song of the Smurfs. The familiar rhythm hit me again. The group of small blue creatures, evil Gargamel and his pet cat Azrael, the wizard's castle, lol In fact, good memory can't fade away forever. It always hides in your deep heart, although a corner. Now, 2008, the 50th birthday of the Smurfs. It's said that The Smurfs will be shot as a 3D movie, maybe release in 2009. Expecting ...

Friday again!

Friday again! It's an expecting day from Monday, lol. It means I can relax myself at once. As usual, I spend this day without any surprise or any difference. After work, I made up my mind to walk home. Enjoying the long lost sunshine, I was thinking of some private things. All the way, no many passerby, no many cars, it's good for self-communion. It took almost one hour to cook simply. To be frank, I dislike cooking. Cooking is so trouble instead of pleasant, I think. lol So I would like to find a Mr. Right who is good at cooking. Giggling. Maybe too tired, I fell into a state of half-awake when TV was on. Thanks to a call from young boy, I didn't miss today's blog. You know, I made a plan to blog every day, if I can.

Dream on!

Today, I met a phrase "Dream on!". I think it useful in real life talking. Haha, do you know its meaning. Give you an example, and you can work out. So you want a rise? Dream on! Yep, it is used to tell someone that they are hoping for something that will not happen. Really an awesome expression.

From this, I pay attention to the word "dream". It's actually a fantastic word. When mentioning this word, what can you think?

Everyone can shout out " I have a dream " Maybe sometimes just a day dream, but as someone said it's better than nightmare. Maybe some day daydream comes true. Who knows...

Cos dream your dream...then so what? Your feeling? In fact, most of people expect to meet a people who they can walk with hand in hand.

A dream house. hehe Everyone perhaps dreamed a dream house nearby a quiet and picturesque lake. Surrounded with grassland, wildflowers, white fence, running ivy ......so glamour...

Let's be a dream weaver...

Health comes first

Nowadays, health comes first. Everyone tries their best to keep fit. Healthy eating, doing sports regularly, developing good habits, etc. Of course, they are all necessary. However, being in a high mood can't be neglected. We always fall into an odd circle. On the one hand, we do some which are harmful for health. For example, drinking much, smoking constantly. It's difficult to kick. On the other hand, we still look for ways to be healty. In fact, almost everyone has health problem more or less. So-called sub-health. According to WHO, 80% humans are under sub health condition. Then do something for yourself.

Inspiration fading away?

Inspiration is really elusory, difficult to trace and abstract. I have no idea how to catch it. It can't be controlled by ourselves. Recently I found that I was short of brilliant ideas during the work. Seems most of time, just a blank sheet. So annoyed. Maybe due to living comfortable life, so that I seldom thought anything over. My life falls into a set routine. I make a narrow circle for myself. As a matter of fact, for a long time, I haven't read a book carefully. TERRIBLE....
