FERRERO...

One of my all time favourite chocolate product is Ferrero.This remarkable production of chocolate product began in 1946, in Italy, where, after the war, candy and confections were in short supply and were purchased mainly for special occasions from the local sweet shop. It was here in northwestern Italy in the small town of Alba, that master confectioner Pietro Ferrero developed a system that enabled him to mass-produce true quality confections and offer them to consumers at reasonable prices.

The original Ferrero philosophy was based on a few simple principles: Use only the highest-quality ingredients; Be unique! Never copy anyone else; and Manufacture with the most modern technology. Addition to that, procedures for ensuring consumers taste only the freshest possible product, as well as some very clever marketing, and the Ferrero story began to unfold.

With that, here are some well known product of ferrero...can anyone guess which of these chocolate product i liked most?

Here's another inspring novel by Cecelia Ahern which i really love..with that, i would like to share with you all bout this novel's summary:

The warm and inspiring story from the author, Cecelia Ahern is a bittersweet tale of childhood friends Rosie and Alex whose relationship must survive many trials and tribulations, not least the discovery of their true feelings for one another.

From naughty children to rebellious teenagers and young adults, Rosie and Alex have stuck by each other through thick and thin, even when Alex moved with his family across the Atlantic Ocean to Boston and Rosie fell pregnant as a teenager after they had broke up.

Misunderstandings, circumstances and this novel chronicles their lives, from teenage dances to the start of their careers and relationships with others.

Baby What's Your Flavour?

Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins began making ice cream in 1945. That’s where Baskin Robbins got its name. Their mission was to create delicious ice cream concoctions with loads of ingredients and fanciful names. From the initial concept of 31 flavours - one for every day of the month, over 1,000 different ice cream flavours have been created and enjoyed by ice cream lovers worldwide.

I personally love Baskin Robbins ice cream. It has a supreme fine texture with fantastic flavor. I enjoy eating Baskin Robbins with my love ones especially when we go for family outing and on dates. It’s a good dessert for you to treat yourself after a tiring day and also to satisfy your cravings for something sweet and cold especially on hot weathers!

Beside serving various ice creams, Baskin Robbins also offers other desserts such as cakes, beverages and yogurts too! So friends, do spend some time dropping by at Baskin Robbins ice cream outlets near you and get yourself indulge with the fantastic ice-cream and desserts treat of Baskin Robbins.

Biodiesel from Soy Bean?

As I was reading regarding GMOF (Genetically Modified Organism & Food), I came across an article about “Biodiesel made of Soy Bean Oil”.

Through biotechnology which produces GMOF soy beans, there are still plenty of soy bean for meeting the demands of food production. But the surplus needed to be utilized. That’s why the soybean checks off helped develop the U.S. biodiesel industry through research funding to find new uses for soybean oil. One of those uses was soy biodiesel. Over time, the industry grew and provided great new opportunities for all soy bean farmers, not to mention increased energy security and environmental benefits for us all. This will boost the demand for soybeans, but not at the risk of sacrificing food use.

In reality, food production is still the number one use for soybean oil worldwide.Let’s not forget the other major component of soybeans – soy bean foods!!

Soy Bean Milk

Bean curd

Tofu

Soy Bean Pasta






Soy Bean & Sesame Ice Cream

BIG BANG!!!
SOY BEAN is recently made into ….

Which runs…

How environment friendly…Don’t you think so?
This proves the power of biotechnology!

Oatmeal anyone?

Oatmeal is an ideal choice for breakfast. As we all know, breakfast is vital to energize your day. A good breakfast will determine on how well you perform either at work or in studies. With that, here are the benefits of consuming oatmeal...

• Soluble fibre from oats lowers cholesterol levels in the blood. Consuming one large bowl of oat bran cereal has been shown to decrease total cholesterol.

• It is estimated that the reduction in total cholesterol could lower the incidence of coronary heart disease... oat consumption may reduce blood pressure too.

• Oats reduce blood glucose and insulin responses. Control of blood glucose and insulin levels is essential in prevention of many of the complications associated with diabetes.

• Oats favourably alter metabolism and enhance performance when ingested shortly before prolonged endurance exercise of moderate intensity.

• Beta-glucan from oats may enhance the immune response.
  

• However, currently it is insufficient evidence to suggest that oats promote weight loss or improve compliance to a reduced-calorie diet.

Skyscrapers...!

Today in Engineering Construction class, I have learned a lot about foundations. Foundations is a structure that transfer loads to the earth. Foundation is generally divided into two main section; substructure and superstructure. Substructure is the foundation that is build underground. Meanwhile, the superstructure is the one forming the structure of buildings and skyscrapers.

With a strong and well designed foundation, high raised buildings or skyscrapers can be build without worrying of the worst outcome of it..collapsing! Foundations are designed to have an adequate load capacity with limited settlement.

The results of excellent foundation are:

Taiwan’s: Taipei 101, which - at 508 metres (1,667 ft) - had been officially the world's tallest building since 2004.

Emirates Saudi Arabia:Coming soon..the world's soon-to-be tallest buiding is the Burj Dubai. This skyscraper has now topped 688 metres (2,257 ft ) and will be completed in September 2008.

Love Hurts?

Have you ever felt everything seem so wrong when you are in love? Well, it’s not a hideous thing after all. It teaches you a valuable experience if you truly reflect on it rather than being sad or angry about your unstable situation. You are showing concern…but the one you love think that you are just controlling their action. Well, it’s not anyone’s right to control ones’ life.

I have learn that resilience and being humble in terms of being ready to apologize and to prioritize your partner’s feelings is so much more important. It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong in a certain misunderstanding, as long as you both are ready to tolerate and to listen to each other full-heartedly. Somehow or rather, these kind of misunderstanding would make you and partner appreciate each other better.. where there is love, all other good values comes around too.

Being in love is very exciting. So, don't let your sad emotions overwhelm your relationship... I know its easy to forgive but its not going to be an easy thing to forget what she or he had done which had hurt your fragile feelings. Let the time heal you.. as for now, just enjoy your life, achieve your goals and live it to the fullest with your love ones. As the saying goes, love is the most precious gift of all...
