Melasma – The Mask of Pregnancy

Please allow this entry as a sticky mode, as usual new entries at the bottom of this entry.

Huhaiii! Entry kali ni sangat mencabar ye gang bas merah sumer. Alangkan lah aku ni dah beranak 2 so bolehlah aku memahami and express this out in my own style of writings. Kalo hidak, kompemlah jangan aku yang nak paham, gamaknya apa aku tulis pun korang takkan paham gak seiii.

Ramai ibu2 mengandung ngah membaca nih? Ramai jugak ibu yang bakal mengandung and sudah beranak pinak membaca entry nih, pastu kamu akan bilang ‘oooooo, now ai know about Melasma’.

Melasma atau nama scientific nya Chloasma faciei atau lagik senang nak dipaham ‘mask of pregnancy’. Melasma mostly dihadapi oleh pregnant woman, ada macam tan or dark skin discoloration. Walaupun Melasma boleh affect anyone, melasma is particularly common in women lah kan, especially to mak yong2 cam kita nih. Ia juga boleh dihadapi pada lelaki atau wanita specially kat orang Asian yang kulitnya agak gelap, atau tidak terlalu cerah. Exactly like us.

image001

Melasma ialah spot itam/gelap yang melekap di kulit, yang disebabkan oleh production of melanin yang over berlebihan. Melanin nih korang kena google search baru boleh kasi banyak paham, so perlebihan melanin adalah kerana perubahan hormone. (ni kalo ada banyak scientific words yang korang tak paham, pls refer to Wikipedia, kang jadik panjang lebar lagik lah entry aku coz each of the scientific words aku  nak kena explain plak.)

Jadi, bila melanin kulit asal kita terkena dengan matahari, makanya ia akan menggelapkan lagi kulit kita. Wanita yang berkulit warna light brown (aku kah??) yang tinggal di daerah yang intense sun exposure are particularly susceptible to developing this condition (aku lagikkah??) oh nooooo!

Melasma ni biasanya kan kena kat pregnant women, ada perubahaan hormone during the second or third trimester.  Kebanyakan wanita pulak menghandap melasma dalam tahap yang tinggi dan buruk pada waktu-waktu genting begini. Sebab itulah golongan wanita yang sedang mengambil ubat cegah hamil atau tengah ongoing terapi penggantian hormone perlu dok berbincang dengan pakar ginekologi to choose on the therapy yang boleh menghindar melasma.

Other rare causes of Melasma include allergic reaction to medications and cosmetics. Ha so korang hati2 ye pakai kosmetik tuh, check dulu sesuai idak ngan muka, kang bertepek lak Melasma!

image002

The simtom of melasma ada tanda perang, irregular patches commonly ditemui kat upper cheek, hidung, bibir, atas bibir dan juga forehead. Ha cepat belek muka memasing. Ado idak Melasma korang?

So sekarang kamu sudah tahu apa itu melasma bukan, sebenarnya bila aku buat entry nih, aku baru teringat yang aku ada melihat sorang suspect yang sama seperti dalam entry melasma nih. He’s a male, a father and he works in KLCC. Sorry lah, ai wont be interviewing him for my entry purposes, tapi skin dia tu memang nampak like Melasma!

Malaysian kebanyakannya terdedah kepada 18 jam of UV radiation  di sepanjang hari. Ramai antara kita tidak perasan akan kepentingan protection against sunlight tak kiralah dalam indoors ataupun outdoors. Kerana itulah kita perlu memakai sun block setiap hari. Tu pentingnya tau gang bas merah. Aku pakai gak sunblock, tp aku pakai kat muka jer. Kat badan kaki peha tangan tu aku pakai lotion jor 🙂

Justeru, melasma hanya boleh dikawal tapi untuk membuang dan menghilangnya seratus peratus, hanya boleh dilakukan dengan long-term maintenance treatment dan juga protection against sunlight, coz kemungkinan untuk the melasma to reappear several months later selepas kamu kena semula sun exposure.

So camne korang, dari gambar2 yang aku dah letak lam entry nih, u got the idea on the melasma kan? Now pi lah check kot korang ada Melasma ke tak, n nanti aku buat lagik entry on the treatment of Melasma.

WOU Postcard Contest

Please allow this entry as a sticky mode, as usual new entries at the bottom of this entry.

Zaman dah berubah, kalau dulu bila bercakap tentang kelas, yg kita bayangkan ada kerusi meja & papan hitam, kalau kat U lak, kerusija (kerusi yg ade meja sekali tu la), papan putih or probably projector. Tapi zaman sekarang dengan teknologi2 yg canggih manggih, kelas anda adalah dunia anda sendiri, kelas anda boleh berada di mana sahaja, dengan siapa yg anda suka & bila2 masa. Di bawah pokok, di atas katil, di tepi pantai, pagi petang ataupun malam, anda cipta dunia kelas anda sendiri.

Sy juga jika inginkan kelas saya seperti ini… di mana sahaja yang sempat as long as ada masa terluang…

On the other hand, kadang2 ilmu itu bukan sahaja dari apa yg kita baca dari buku or internet, tetapi juga dari perjalanan dan pemerhatian anda ke semua aspek kehidupan begitu juga kepada apa sahaja yg menjadi inspirasi along the journey.

Dan dengan apa yg ditawarkan buat masa sekarang or revolutionary form of education is now, tak kira tua atau muda, kita boleh senantiasa belajar, belajar & belajar. As long as ada kemahuan, tiada rintangan yg dapat menghalang or kata orang takde alasan lagi la utk tak nak belajar.

Apa yg saya ingin katakan adalah tentang Wawasan Open University (WOU), the first Malaysia’s private, not-for-profit, open learning institution, a lifelong learning community without borders. Funded by charitable trusts, corporations and the public, they aim to lower the personal cost of learning and make it more affordable.

image001

They use flexible approaches to make higher education accessible to all – anytime, anywhere. Their self-paced learning environment is specially designed for the convenience and accessibility of adult learners of any umur, gender, etnik dan background.

So kalau korang nak study for acredited qualifications atau for personal enrichment tanpa meninggalkan rumah kau, dan pekerjaan kau (they do offer Open Distance Learning) atau juga pada sesiapa yang ketinggalan with the  tertiary education then WOU is for you since WOU again doesnt focus on age, gender or race in allowing entry.
Sempat tak kalo aku nak enroll belajar lagik kat WOU? Apa course aku nak amik ek?

The best part is currently they are having a “WOU Post A Postcard Contest” with a cool set of prizes to be won including Macbook White, iPod Touch, iPod Shuffles &  Canon 450D DSLR

So apa lagi, start your engine to participate in. As simple as 1,2,3 you too can join this contest & claim those prizes:
Link to Nuffnang entry – http://www.nuffnang.com.my/blog/2009/02/16/post-postcard-to-win-a-macbook-air/

Gegirl can be my postcard model, even she is too young, she still can enter the contest BUT BUT BUT, she s too young to enroll in the university. Jangan korang kompius kay! Anw, ni contoh postcard je weih!

Tok Wan TVC

sticky mode, please scroll down for updated entries…

pertama kali saya menonton Tok Wan dalam TVC tuh, saya gelak mengekeh2….
ai have been loyal customer to Astro since when yer, more than 10 years for sure lah. Ai love the AXN channel, abang and gegirl pulak love all cartoons channels. Sirman of course, his fav channel sokmo nya sports, though dia bukanlah sports hunter 🙂

ai want all of my readers to view the trailers, sangatlah seronok weiii!

girangnya kids sambil menonton Astro Disney Channel, oh itu adalah sangat fav pilihan kanak2, kekadang kami makpak pun nonton sama…in fact depa sendiri tau nak bukak channel tuh yer…

astro_tvc12

Well, back to the trailers, masih lagi dengan konsep Macam Macam Ada, Tok Wan TVC memaparkan Tok Wan, kesinambungan dari episode lalu di Astro. Tok Wan di dalam trailers arini, sudah ada warung yang begitu famous, dan ramai locals yang suka duduk makan kat warung nya, not just she has lovely food serve to customers, but for her intelligent chatter.

Actually wajah watak Tok Wan tu sendiri udah menggambarkan keceriaan, dan seorang yang seronok untuk didekati dan dibuat kawan. So bila Astro menggunakan Tok Wan sebagai icon baru mereka, itu adalah satu pilihan yang sangat bijak dan tepat! Tua-tua bukan sebarang tua yer, tua banyak pengikat… 🙂

Hidup Tok Wan yang sangat suka menonton Astro menyebabkan she sangat arif dengan informasi semasa, be it in entertainment, berita mahupun sukan. N so, she loves sharing her knowledge with her kampung folks at her tiny Warung. Korang nak borak citer pasal sukan, ke hiburan apatah lagi makanan international, semua kacang je pada Tok Wan.

astro_tvc2

Menonton trailer Tok Wan TVC mengingatkan saya pada arwah nenek yang lebih kurang montel gerak badannya cam Tok Wan…with her good knowledge on everything. Kadangkala kita sangkakan yang tua itu tidak arif, tp yang tua itulah banyak pengalaman berharga.

Tok Wan is very knowledgeable, it doesnt mean her knowledge on the international food is bad, she knows very well on Italian food, such as spaghetti and fettuccine.  Tau tak korang aku sendiri tak tau amenda fettuccine tuh, ganas aa Tok Wan, tergeliat2 lidah redmummy merah nak nyebutnya seiii!

Beside, Tok Wan sangat lah arif on the lapisan ozone bumi kita nih. She knows the hairspray yang makcik kebaya ketat tu pakai boleh buat our ozon bernipisan, udahlah speaking london ke main tunggang langgang seii hahahahahhahaha, sapa pelakon tuh yer, kelakar la makcik kebaya ketat tu.

Sungguh rasa hinanya diri ini bila Tok Wan sangat arif tentang bola sepak. Beliau bukanlah berdaya untuk bersukan, tapi masa kelapangannya digunakan untuk menonton Astro, makanya she knows most of the channels lam Astro yang memaparkan rangkaian yang cerita yang menambah pengetahuan.

astro_tvc3

Oh man! Korang tau ke sapa Tevez? He s a footballer from MU la weii…aku tau ke? Aku tau pun pasal Tok Wan TVC ni tau, if not, how do ai know? Tu pasal aku cakap, pengetahuan Tok Wan bermusyarah melalui Astro is so damn good aiyokkkkkk!

Tok Wan adalah icon Astro yang bergabung tenaga sama si kecil molek manis Alycia yang merupakan icon for learning Astro. Alycia ni kalo korang dengo dia menceceh lam Tok Wan TVC nih, iskkk, rasa nak picit2 je pipi gebu dia seiiiiiiiiiii!

Sekarang nih pun Astro sedang giat memancarkan Akademi Fantasia Musim ke7, dan pastinya sekali lagi satu family akan duduk di depan TV untuk menonton siapakah yang setiap minggu akan tersingkir…Seperti malam lalu, kami the red family pun menonton AF sesama depan tv, that s one gegirl’s fav show.

Gang redmummy.com , do watch Astro coz you may gain lots of knowledge from the channels that they offer, tak kira lah lam malay, english, chinese or indian.

Macam-Macam Ada di dalam Tok Wan TVC 🙂

Maxis iPhone 3G

Yo redmummy’s readers, this is a sticky mode entry, pls scroll down for updated entries 🙂

Korang ingat lagik tak, dulu kan, masa Sirman masa kat US, he bought an iPhone. Actually iPhone tu is for his fren, ada kawan dia suh belikan, lgpun during that time memang takde jual kat Malaysia lagik. That was like emm 1 yr plus ago. Kat Malaysia blom ada lagik masa tu, ada pun melampau2 kedahak lah mahalnya kan.

But in order for his colleague tu nak guna iPhone kat sini, dia still kena jailbreak & unlock kan iPhone tu so baru boleh pakai local mobile operators sim card. The same process if you buy iPhone from anywhere in the world, you still need to do the same thing cos there is no authorized dealer in Malaysia yet! And of cos it will void the iPhone warranty itself once you done that.

iphone

But worry no more! Yes it’s true & confirmed!!! Malaysia’s leading mobile operator Maxis Communications Berhad (“Maxis”) has announced that it will offer iPhone 3G 8GB for free on its iValue 4 plan started from this March 20. Maxis will also offer a range new tariff plans, starting at just RM100 per month, hok nih specially for iPhone customers kay!

Serba sedikit tentang iPhone. iPhone 3G combines three products in one – a revolutionary phone, widescreen iPod and breakthrough internet device – to create an incredible mobile experience. Dengan kepantasan 3G networking, GPS mapping and support for enterprise features termasuk Microsoft Exchange, iPhone 3G lengkap digunakan dengan jari jemari korang.

The groundbreaking App Store provides access to tens of thousands of applications from games to social networking to financial planning and health management, generating more than 500 million downloads to date. iPhone  3G sekarang sudah berada di lebih 70 negara di seluruh dunia.

Maxis are no different to other operators that introduced iPhone, korang kenalah sign up a contract to get an authorized iPhone.  Depa cakap Maxis iPhone harganya RM4K pastuh kalo kat Low Yat harganya lak memanglah murah at RM2.7K . But hangpa kenalah ingat with Maxis iPhone ada data and voice offer, yet yang cekai nya tuh takdak.  At the end pun, the plan by Maxis iPhone is only asking for RM150 per month and that is very affordable when you do the comparison.

Some kan gang bas merah, Maxis has the best 3G/data offers lak tuh.  Tapi yelah, kot kamu kata mahal sangat kan, tapi Maxis ada jugak easy payment schemes when charged against credit card. Payment lak are amortized over 12months.

Maxis will offer the 8GB and 16GB iPhone 3G models with four new and specially designed postpaid plans called iValue, all of which are voice-data bundled price plans, starting from RM100 per month. For customers who sign up for a monthly commitment of RM375 over a 24-month period on the iValue 4 plan, the iPhone 3G 8GB will be free of charge.

The new price plans on 24-month contracts are:

Price Plan :

iValue 1 iValue 2 iValue 3 iValue 4
Monthly fee RM100 RM155 RM250 RM375

Voice credit (mins)

333 mins 666 mins 1,500 mins 2,500 mins

Data credit (MB)

500MB 1GB 2GB 3GB

iPhone 8GB

RM1,510 RM1,260 RM680 RM0 (free)

iPhone 16GB

RM1,890 RM1,640 RM1,060 RM260

There are also for 12-months & 6 months contracts. Here is the details: http://www.maxis.com.my/iphone/index.asp

Even the existing Maxis Postpaid customers with tenure of more than 6 months AND current monthly commitment usage of RM250 and above can waive the advance payment. So for other mobile operators subscribers, apa lagi ambil balik la deposit korang & jadikan advanced payment for this wonderful gadget 🙂

Sirman’s iPod Touch

Kalo citer pasal iPhone ni pulak, pehhh this gadget mmg betul2 cool & entertaining, as ai said earlier not only as a phone tapi boleh juga main games, layan lagu/mp3 & video, surfing internet & macam2 lagi. Sirman kan ada iPod Touch, so functions dia mmg sama except iPod Touch tu tak dak phone & camera la. Kadang aku tgk berebut2 Abang & Gegirl nak pinjam iPod Touch bapak dia sbb nak main games. Games mmg berlambak2 kat iTunes App Store, yg free ada, yg commercial pun ada. The same goes with other applications, lagu/mp3 & video. Then kadang Sirman time lepak2 tgk tv dia touch2 iPod dia tu browsing internet. Tu baru iPod, kalo iPhone lagi la bestttt.

So apa lagi geng pergi la booking cepat2 kat http://www.maxis.com.my/iphone/index.asp atau tepon 1800 821 123.

Lagi satu kalo u all booking now till 17th March ni, korang akan dpt invitation to Official iPhone 3G Launch Events on 20-22 March next week at Kuala Lumpur Conversation Centre. Aku dapat jemputan tak nih Maxis iPhone weih? bagilah iPhone tu kat teman barang satu ke 12 ke, nak gak satu buat modal blog, laju sket aku buat entry bila dah ada iPhone nih.
