I just like to help and give advices and at the same time I like hearing out people's opinions and how they actually view certain things at times. I am interested in anything related to 'health' like diet/fitness/exercise etc, social unresolved matters that I can help to decipher...not pro or anythin', but it's nice to know that I can be of some kind of help, at least, a bit :)

  • My shoe size in Malaysia is 6; what's my size in the UK?

    I bought a pair of boots in the UK and it was a size 4?? I was like, come on, I am not THAT small...though I am well aware I am considered petite for being a mere 5 feet, 3 inches tall. I am just curious as to the difference in sizing over here in the UK. I plan to buy shoes online. So I need to get some confirmation for realz before I press buy. -_-" Most of my shoes that I buy in Malaysia are size 6, that includes my ADIDAS and the rest of my pairs. So, what size am I really in the UK? I got baffled when my feet snug well with a pair of boots I bought in the UK, which was a size 4, though I wonder if I can fit a size 5 here just as well.

    Anyway, thanks! :3

  • Amazon UK - buy more than one book from same supplier, delivery fee increases?

    Just curious. I am planning to buy three books from the same seller from Amazon UK. Thing is, assuming that, as said, 2.80 pounds for a book to be delivered, does that mean that I have to pay 8.40 pounds delivery fee [2.80 pounds x 3 books] if I plan to buy three from the same seller?? After all, from the same seller, why do they impose with extra accumulative cost?? *just curious...if I purchase from other sellers...I'd understand...but from the same one got me curious...coz I spent some stuff from the same seller...my delivery fees are not stacked up with extra cost, considering it's from the same seller...

  • Can people with different religions still go to heaven?

    I have been contemplating about this a lot, but I don't wanna seem like I contradict my religion or anything. I only just wonder about it, though it's only for God to decide. Anyway, my question is that do you think that by believing in that "particular" religion and abiding by its rules, can make that person go to heaven? Simply by just believing in "that" religion? Thing is, there are so many people with different religions in life and if it claims to be true that people with that belief alone gets to go to heaven, that would seem so unfair, don't you think. :( What happens to the rest?? One could imagine the amount of people who'd end up in hell even though they have led a life sincerely. I mean, I really do believe in God, but honestly, when reading the history on the crusade, Iraq war, etc...mainly the ones that involved Islam, Christians and Jews makes me wonder how it had left an sad indelible stain on the world's view of religion. Why have they wasted money on golden thrones, ridiculous palaces, WEAPONS and etc and not bothered to even feed the poor and do what is right. Sadly, instead, to those who have been corrupted with evil, to even consider waging war in the name of religion but with a terrible outcome to it like in causing many innocent sacrifices. All seemed to be done in vain and absolutely for nothing. Of all the simplest deeds that can be done like helping the needy and being kind to others are ignored except the thought of making sure their machine guns are in stock instead @_@". I agree that it is not that religion that corrupts man, but that man corrupts religion. I am not trying to cause a stir here by the way. I am merely wondering as to what you may think. I'm Moslem, but I always wonder about others who believe in what they believe in, and I believe that to those who have been sincere and kind to people and have done nothing to deserve a glare from God should be deserved a chance to go to heaven. I just know that every religion has good intentions, it's just that they work differently. Oh yea, and I realised that if a possessed victim could be exorcised through prayers, regardless of religious methods, why has some proven that the Devil fears those words hurt the Devil. Words/phrases/verses like from the Bible and Koran, for example. Anyway, I feel that we still have hope in getting our way to heaven. I hope I am not offending some people. Normally topics like these appear sensitive but I just hope some open-minded people would answer this. And I hope God understands my curiosity :-/

  • Why is cigarette not haram but makruh?? Is weed even makruh?

    Out of curiosity, many scientists claim that cigarettes have greater potential consequences as compared to weed, so I wonder, why is that they say smoking cigarettes with tobacco is makruh (strongly discouraged) when some may say haram to weed??? I mean, weed is not that bad as I've heard, though I still dare not do it, compared to cigarettes it is like, I see some imams smoke 'em, and not only that, if it were weed, they'd say HARAM. Honestly, I'd slap him due to the irony. Nywayz, what do you think?? thank you :3

  • How to update my phone's application (Android)?

    Well, I was from Malaysia and I shifted to the UK to study. I have not updated my phone for about three months already. Depressed by the fact that I finally got wifi now. The university uses cable for the Net, so I am impeded in allowing myself to continue updating my phone. I am VERY unhappy with O2 at the same time. Free 500MB data, MY BUTT!! There was an error, that even the people at the outlet could not seem to resolve the matter. The email even said the same thing, stating about the bla2s of my Samsung Galaxy SL-i9003. By the way, my phone is HEALTHY!! T_T At home, I never had this problem...at all :(

    Anyway, to the point, I want to update my phone, but the thing is I tried entering the market app via my phone, it led me to a page that asked me for my google acc password. So, I keyed in. It stated wrong password, error, or changed, wtvr!! Thing is, my password is correct, coz I have always been using my gmail, so what is the problem NAO?!! T_T Why me no allow entry?! I bought an app and I want to test it but how can I test it if I cannot enter the darn market??! I can enter the market via just using Internet Xplorer with my phone/laptop, but from there how can I even update??! I really don't know how to explain fully, but I hope as far as I have explained is concise enough for people to comprehend my predicament. HELP ME!! Sorry for sounding grouchy T_T

  • I feel afraid of this friendship somehow :(?

    I have this new friend in my university and she is nice to me and all. We hang out almost all the time in campus. She is a good friend to me. But, having known her slowly, she has shown her true colours to me as she places her trust on me. The dark side of her scares me. I am, how can I put this' a good girl kind of person. I make sure I avoid trouble. I portray this superficial emo attitude at times, but deep down I am perky and friendly with everyone. I try not judge to the extent of hating someone. I do not care what religion one's in, despite me believing in my Islamic views. I am open to many people as a friend. If one does sthg morally wrong I am sorta ok, I think?? So long as they are nice to me. However, never have I thought to be tested by this friend.

    Her background is that she is the only child and she travels the world a lot. She studied in Sudan during her high school years. She slept with her English teacher before and almost got caught. The thing is her mother is a Moslem and she's quite firm in her beliefs. Her mom does not know what she has always been doing. She keeps this story laid low. Anyway,I just wonder having known this at first startled me but I avoided not trying to befriend her just because she did sthg morally wrong and all.

    She also has got a boyfriend but her love for him faded away. She met this new person in this particular society and in a matter of a week of flirting him, despite still being with her boyfriend, she slept with this guy in that society. But, she only says that he is nothing but a friend with benefits, that's all. Benefits as if in, she gets to have sex with him but wants to just be his friend. I was so shocked but I did not show it. I did not know if I should hate her just coz of her doing that but it makes me feel burdened to be a friend of hers. I don't know why I feel this way, but it gnarls my mind a bit. She always confide in me a lot and it slowly makes me feel scared of her dark side. Anyway, the next few days we went to a club just to listen to some rock music I like, she wanted to chill at a gay club and she dragged me in it. The electric of the atmosphere scared me. I am just this normal person who comes home from uni and do homewerk and chats with friends at coffee shops, not at clubs coz I always think it's not my thing to go there. But that was before, in my home country, but now I am in another country. Anyway, as I was saying, at that place, outside the club, she was chatting with some guy, she told me he was cute and all so I was like ok. 5 minutes later, he kissed her and they made out for more than minutes. Many times making out. It was sweet but scary at the same time.

    So, overall, she has got a boyfriend but sleeps with another guy and considers him a friend. Also, she wants to date the guy who kissed her hardcore. I still wanna be her friend but her actions are scaring me. What should I do? What do you think? Am I making the right choice being her friend? Should I just ignore her moral conducts? Honestly, I don't know what and how to ask...T_T T_T this is my predicament...

  • Any phones to suggest me to buy?

    For a change I refuse to use Nokia from now onwards as it has always been a pain that it seems like a useless contraption coz of the Symbian software. I was told that Android is better and yes I have got a glimpse of what it's like and seems agreeable that it kinda is good. So, any recommendation?? Oh...just to tell you that my dad doesn't want me to have an Iphone4 or anythin. He rules the household with that I -product and we are only bound to the others. Anyway, my main 'wants' in a phone...obviously put a lot of songs coz I listen to music a lot. I rather not use some Mp3 player coz it distracts me from a phone call...so ummm yea...anythin 16gig I'm cool...I have used up 7gig of my phone's mmry card...so now I feel I want more...next, good camera that at least have 5 megapix...good video quality and user friendly...

    P.S...if there are QWERTY board phones I so would love that...but I am not in the Blackberry league...I miss Nokia coz the choices are clear for me but it's just my trust for Symbian is on the wane...

  • Why does my finger swell and turn purple when I write a lot?!?

    I mean it's exam time and you are like in rush mode to write as much as possible, but the drawbacks of writing gazillion info is hurting when I just cannot help myself but tryin' to beat time when my elbow hurts and my fingers esp hurt...a lot! *elbow hurts coz there's this chain reaction that when I strain my fingers' muscles, it kinda feels like I am using my arms muscles too...I can crack my elbow to ease it though...elbow no big of a deal - minor discomfort...just the fingers...*

    Why is that when we write causes pain when after all I am 'just' writing...??? Not like as if I am punching and slapping with nerve wrecking reception...I mean the student in front of me finishes her paper like an hour before I even did...and she wrote loads with total ease...jealous much! :D

  • Why is my hair oily, itchy, flaky and one side feels like I am balding?

    I shampoo my hair like every two days and ummm...I use V05 oil nutrient shampoo yadi yada but I cannot seem to get the itch off of me head...tried Head and Shoulders...the itchy prevention version...but nope...no effect...sadly for me. Also, my hair 'used' to be like SOO dry, once upon a time...(which was annoying...dying for some oil before, at least) but...lately, it turns out vice versa; absolute hyperbole situation....my hair just turns like oily like I have got low nutrient whip cream on me head. I mean, my hair is not that bad right after I shampoo when it comes to smoothness, but after a day is overrr...oily and itchy witchy!!

    As to such a situation I avoid using conditioner for quite some time...and umm...and if let's say, I'm under the sun, fairly, does that make much a difference...or merely trivial...?? And, the use of the scalding hair dryer...seems possible to be the sole cause for my itch, rriittee...???

    Anywayzzz, I rather hear what you may opine to my incomprehensibly straightforward situation...

    Oh yeah...speaking of me saying that I am balding...kinda...I have two sides on me head having less hair or practically nearly none. (X define properly) There's a V shape parting (like you know u stroke ur hair direction of the V-shape) get it?? (Do a peace sign on yer forehead and go 90 degrees back...u get what I mean...?? that V) ahh...wtvrr...though it's not so very obvious when it comes to the balding part...coz I got my mid hair falling front including the bangs hiding it...I cannot tie my hair like a full Tyra tie-up... or else it turns out obvious of the parts...the hair dresser was like woaah...u gotta hide it, man...so he created bangs...yadi yada...why do I have less hair there????!!!

  • I had a hellish day of eating coz I went to 7 houses for 2 days (relatives)??? What can I do to save me now?

    Okay....I am originally and always 100 pounds exact and my height is 5 feet three inches. But I had two days of pure hell of eating...parents made me gon have a celebration at TWO + FIVE (second day) houses with lucrative offers of nice nice food! BUT, I ate a lot...INSANELY....and I kept adding and adding so I wanna compensate. I x check the scale at all, yet. I am a regular runner but my metabolism got slower when I was fasting for 3 months and that sucked hard! 3 weeks of no exercising was boring (I did some at least, easier but still painful ones but not the usual intense I ones I prefer to do)...so the day when I can eat...Eid's Day, I went HELL on my diet...I think I ate more than 3000 calories (NO joke) I ran 4 - 4.s4miles in a day on the treadmill on the day to terribly direly compensate. I can do that coz x one bothers me and I have music to distract me and my mind focus on what I want, at least.

    My belly ACHED that day from those glorious foods. My relatives are fat. Why do I care?? They feed us and when I say I wanna diet they think I should NOT diet. In fact, my family thinks I am crazy about diet but I x mean by eating less less less. They even gossip about me and they keep telling me this and that. What food is good and what's not...but look at them...large (sorry to say, but yeah). They think it means eat less food and starve and turn size zero...diet is defined wrongly by many ppl. They x know squat about what food is bad!!

    Wtvr it is, I'll tell you what nonsense I have consumed:

    *Breakfast I ate normally...not heavy at all...so I x count that in exactly

    a) Dark chocolate cake with THICK CREAM for Lunch

    b) Lasgana

    c) Malaysian Noodles

    d) Mango Raspberry Crumbles 2 plates for lunch and that's desert

    e) Some pastry I consumed....dunno what it was...

    f) Moist Cake for dinner despite me being MEGA awfully full

    g) Biscuits for tea time...bored waiting just to go HOME...sob sob

    h) Others I x remember so I deem it miscellaneous

    (THIS IS ALL IN THE SECOND DAY; FIRST DAY WAS 0.25% lesser hell....you can guess what I feel like....:( )

    HELP?? NOTE: I have been taking laxatives...2 full cups a day! And it is worth the hurt regardless while running. I thought I was gonna pass out...:( But, my tummy feels like the food is in the tummy.....still

  • Megan Fox or Angelina Jolie for Tomb Raider and Barbarella?

    Right now they say Ange is in panic mode coz of the rising star, Megan Fox gaining a lot of media attention trying to compare what is similar between them. Angelina has two roles that will probably be given to Megan. The next Tomb Raider as Lara Croft and Barbarella, an old sci-fi acted by Jane fonda before...old 60's movie gonna remake it to modernize it....but now the heated debate is stirring. Megan Fox is gonna get those roles...as I've heard and what pisses Ange most is that both of the roles where firstly thought for her until Transforemers star, Megan was considered.

    Lame excuse was the age. 11 years difference. Gonna be 24 years old against a 34 years old. They say Ange is getting tooo old....puhhlleezzz....she's still looks unwrinkly and way active.

    I know Megan is hot like crazy and all but when it comes to action movies with loads of dang awesome maneuvers, Ange is best!! Megan acts with no vigour in Transformers...no guns and no awesome stunts but she is still hot but she preferably should be in another sort of genre.

    Beauty-wise...I x compare...but I am loyal to Ange...Megan, I am just waiting for her portfolio to mature...Ange has a lot of movies to offer...Megan is still awesome to me...
