AP Reveals Drugs and Medicines in Drinking Water Supplies Worldwide, an article by Elken Magazine

Contaminated water doesn't always look murky. Every glass of water you drink may be laced with herbicides, chemical waste and arsenic. Do you know that we are affected by toxic minerals and chemicals in the air and in our food on a daily basis. Water is the only way that helps our bodies to flush out these toxins. Therefore, the purer the water is to start with, the higher its capacity to collect and cleanse these compounds from the body.

Do you even know that according to Malaysia's Chemistry Department, which provides water testing services for enforcement and monitoring purposes, it has never done tests for the presence of drugs in drinking or surface water samples & never received a request to do so?

Imagine, not all the medication consumed is absorbed by the body.

Some drugs like antibiotic ciprofloxacin and digoxin for heart problems are hard to metabolise with only about half used. Other drugs like metaformin for diabetes and atenolol for high blood pressure, are not metabolised as much, and at least 80% of these pills end up in the toilet.

Some people also flush down their unused medications.

This wastewater is then treated before being discharged into reservoirs, rivers or lakes and is cleansed again at the water treatment plants before reaching your home.

The EPA says there are no sewage treatment systems specifically engineered to remove pharmaceuticals.

WORSE, there is evidence that adding chlorine during water treatment processes actually more some pharmaceuticals MORE TOXIC!

Do you know?

There's a big difference between filtering and purifying:

a) Filtering - basically means removal of particles, smell and colour
b) Purifying - uses a technology that combines different methodologies to deliver water in the
purest form possible

I'm glad that my family decided to buy this filter for our home, with our 8th instalment paid up. We need not to worry to fork out extra cash when I move in to my new home......

Fun Day Out at the Platinum Movie Suite of Cathay Cineplex

I've waited quite a while for the "Dark Knight" & was estatic that the movie was going to be a 2 1/2 hour show! It's the best time to spoil "H" & myself this week since our anniversary is coming up. So I decided we should try the new Platinum Movie Suite at Cineleisure Damansara. At RM 25 for show before 6pm on weekdays, I think it's a good bargain and, so happen "H" was on leave on Monday, just perfect!

The movie was fantastic and it's such a loss that Heath no longer live. I really can't believe he act the "Joker" part, he is just great! I can't seemed to explain it in words. Like I said, he's just GREAT!!

We reached Cineleisure just on time, so there's really no time for us to explore the Suite as we head direct into the Cinema. We ordered a bottle of Pepsi and the Spicy Potato Wedges, though it came only after 30mins the show started, the taste is quite good!

Seat is very comfortable, adjustments done with just a touch of button. I can sleep during the show. Service is also good, of course. Screen & sound system is good. Seating arrangements are exactly the same as GSC's Gold Class, with a table in between of the 2 chairs. "H" was complaining how hard it is to chat or to hold me during the show, he just wished they would have done something better with the chair design, exclusively for couples? Haha....!! Naughty, Naughty!

Dedicated to the Only 'You'

Here I'm sitting, with 1 more week passing,
Did I not know, time flies this fast,
Coming again to mark in our heart,
This 8th Anniversary.

I'm dedicating this to you,
Only it could express how I feel for you,
If only this song would follow everywhere you go,
To make you feel how special you're to me.

No Air - Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?

(Jordin)
If I should die before I wake
It's cause you took my breath away

(Chris)
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

(Jordin)
Do you expect me, to live alone with just me?
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

(Chorus - Both)
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
That's how I feel whenever you ain't there
There's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell e how you gonna be without me?
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
There's no air, no air
No air, No air
No air, No air

(Chris)
I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to flow to you
There's no gravity to hold me down, for real

(Jordin)
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath but I survived
I don't know how but I don't even care

(Both)
So how do you expect me, to live alone with just me?
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

(Chorus - Both)
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
That's how I feel whenever you ain't there
There's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me?
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
There's no air, no air
No air, No air
No air, No air

No more

No air

Baby

There's no air, no air

Hey, OooOoo

OOooooooooohhhhhhh

Repeat (Chorus - Both)

(Jordin)
Do you expect me, to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Repeat (Chorus - Both)
