Where to buy EDEN Organic Whole Grain Rice Product

carollil — Sun, 29 Dec 2013 14:18:27 +0800

Hi, I am looking for place to buy Eden Organic products, particularly their Whole grain products like short grain rice and red spring flours.

I asked Opika if they have Whole Grain Short Grain Rice ( this one http://www.edenfoods.com/store/product_inf...ucts_id=425501) because I have bought some Eden Organic Product from OPIKA @ One Utama , like their reduced sodium Soy Sauce.

I would like to know if anyone here knows where I can get them? Or any other alternative brands? Cause it is pretty difficult to find Whole Grain Short Grain Rice.... , the long grain brown rice is like so common. I wan to use it to make sushi and I don't want to use White Short Grains.

If anyone could kindly direct me to a place I can buy them around klang valley , I would appreciate it so much.

::EDIT:: 12/30/2013 - It is ok I found them at the Organic shop in Gorgeous Fitness BKT. But it isn't Eden Organic Brand.

Looking for inexpensive accupuncture for post stro

carollil — Fri, 27 Dec 2013 20:13:31 +0800

Hi, I live in Port Klang and I am looking for an inexpensive acupunture in Portklang or Klang because I live in Port Klang, It is for my dad who has had stroke and his right arm is partially paralysed and have speech problems.

Everyone keeps telling me to send my dad to acupunture every 3-5 times per week, that is why I want to look for an inexpensive one cause will go not just once or twice, but alot of sessions.
They are telling me places in Chinese, and since I'm banana, I can't understand what they say. So I just let my dad's friend take him go, But he came back home with medicines and they gave him an injection and total costed RM200 (I felt like it was some sort of scam or something, since we already have so many medicines from the hospital, why the need to get more medicine from a clinic so I find it really weird , since I was not with him, I thought his friend was going to take him to see an acupuncture physician (I asked him about the place he told me for acupuncture, but he said he will take my father that way it is easier), so I called the clinic and ask if they provide acupuncture, They said no, But when I ask my dad's friend, he said people introduce him to that clinic for acupuncture also. This clinic name sounds just like any regular western medical practice clinic. So I am also confused and decided I should bring him to an acupuncture instead.

As for finding a "good" acupuncture center, I mean that there are people that have gone and recover from the acupuncture treatment. I don't want to be scammed.

carollil — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 02:31:29 +0800

Hi, I have an assignment on creating an fnb outlet. Which includes thorough analysis and research.
It is not for real. But My group has chosen Sunway Pyramid as our location.

How much does a fnb shop lot cost averagely? since I know not all lots cost the same... I will need a rough average cost for my presentation.

and also like those ads on the pillar or wall in sunway pyramid. how much does it cost to put up an ads there...

I need help on the procedures for these two problems. I am clueless in business, let alone finance... I am in diploma of culinary arts if you are curious as to why I am asking or even need to ask for help.

It would be a great help if I know where to start looking, my problem is I dont know where to start looking for the answers Im looking for. Like is there a site I can search all these?

If you know can you give me some helpful informations.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Finding Good language Centre in Klang Valley

carollil — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:17:30 +0800

I have interest in learning language such as Japanese, French and Chinese.

I would like to learn Japanese because I am Fond of their language and culture, I like reading Manga , watching anime, and also playing Japanese produced games, If I learn how to read and listen then I would be able to read manga, watch anime and play games like Final Fantasy, in their Original language. But not only that, I love their food too and their culture, I personally think that, It would be an advantage to first arm myself with the ability to understand and speak their language , if an opportunity to go Japan arises, who knows... maybe a vacation there.. or even better, an apprenticeship cook there or just for education purposes (as I am into culinary arts field)

And why French? like I said, I am in the Culinary fields, I am not deep into it yet, But in the future I will, So I have to be prepared. I don't have to attend these language classes yet, But I cant do it last minute either if the time comes, So first best step to do is, to research for good language learning centre for these languages I have mentioned.

Why? I am learning from mistakes here, I did not do much research on finding the best values worth place to invest my money into honing my language skills. I am Chinese, and I don't Speak Chinese, Yes I know, that is such a shame, and an disadvantage too, Therefore Last year I have started to look for a place to learn Chinese, So where do I go to look for other than the trusty Internet, Google was my way since none of my friends goes to any language centre , or knows anyone that goes, but instead they asked me the same question too =) Lol...

Surprisingly its pretty hard to find in the internet, since... many people dont actually blogs about such things... nor make reviews on the best language learning facility.
I stumble Upon Pusat Bahasa Titian Jaya , Which is also hung upon the side of the roads around Bukit Tinggi, and their leaflets passed by some people in places like Tesco. I went on to google and find more information about it. Then Give them a call, and Met up with their consultant at the Bukit Tinggi Branch, Since this is my first time trying, I would opt for the safest choice to learn Chinese, safe in what sense? to be conned of course.
Talked to their consultant, everything sounds great... registered for their class.... and waited for their class to start.. in a months ++ time. Registered on December 09 and they said the next intake will start January 2010, But they delayed and started Febuary 2010 instead, ok not a big problem, paid around RM1K for the Beginner Chinese Class (4 months) thats a really expensive price to pay, I thought, hey, if I am serious about learning 1k is really less. I was excited to attend the class... But to my dissapointment, I got something other than my Money's worth. It was the first day, I guess I shouldn't judge on that first day itself... But I doubt my next class will be any different.
You would think.. that if you pay 1k to learn a language... They might teach you first chapter of the book, and perhaps gives you some excercises to do... But no, all the teacher did was , reading the content of the book and asking us to speak after him, Yes I thought, well this is the way it should be.. , then he proceeded in playing the CD... which came with our books, audio proper pronunciation of various words... and various sentneces. I thought, hmm ok maybe after this He will teach us something we can't learn by ourself? perhaps some tips? or some excercises? But instead, more " repeat after him excercises" and reading out the translations of all the chinese characters which he had written on the white board. Some people still read and speak like a robot (they did not learn anything at all) . It was like, the learning never started at all for them (Non Chinese) But Since I am a chinese I am fortunate enough to know how to pronounce chinese words. But seriously? I paid RM1K for someone to read the book for me? to play the cd for me as if I cant do that at home? excuse me, I am finding a teacher... not a maid.

Ok so I wasn't quite satisfied with the class.... But it could also be my fault, that I hadn't done any research on their classes... That is why, I need your Help people, Please tell me where is a good place to learn Japanese and French, and Chinese, they all dont have to be in the same place , it could be different place, All I care about is, its quality . But if there is such a place exist with all in one at the same place, like the Erican Language Centre, even better. But the Problem is, They dont have much review on their place, and even their student testimony has only 3.. person and they all testified for their english class only.

Please reccomend to me a place you 100% are sure is good for my values worth. The Japanese Class from Pusat Bahasa Titian Jaya cost RM2K, and they are using the most popular and most reccomended Japanese learning Book (Genki) Which is good, But After my chinese class experience, I am rethinking my option. And I dont think I want to take my Japanese class there anymore. After My Beginner Chinese Class ends, I want to go for an upper level classes too, Because I am not learning these language so I can chit chat with people, but also for business purpose as well in the future.

So I need to find Place to learn , I dont neccesarily have to go to the French classes since I will get that class included in my college later, But I never know right if I need to improve it. Might as well find out where to learn first instead of last minute, thats a waste of time. And Hopefully somewhere near Klang the closer to where I live the better too.. But I dont mind going to places further like Subang also.. If I can get quality education I'd go for it.
Chinese
Japanese
French

I know I can learn from the internet, youtube, self study. But I need something that can keep me on it, a class which I need to attend, a teacher that can give me assignment, and expect me to hand it in as well.
I have tried to self learn , so dont reccomend me to learn from the internet.

I found several centre's in the web. and Please tell me if you have any opinion or experience with them.
- The Language House
- Erican Language Centres
- Teikyo Language Institute (Japanese)
- Ringo Language Centre

Taylor's French Diploma in Culinary Art

carollil — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 19:21:29 +0800

I need someone who has experienced through this course in Taylor's Because I need to know about the Units they have in it, like the subjects they are teaching.
Because This table looks just weird compared to many or should i say all the other colleges that are available in malaysia.
Here is a screenshot for easier view.
http://img199.imageshack.us/i/programei.jpg/

Before i tell you why I find it weird, I will show u a couple of example of other school's course module.

this is from Nilai University http://www.nilai.edu.my/images/courses/mod_dipca.jpg
this is from KDU http://img38.imageshack.us/i/module.jpg/

Now of course this modules are just Diploma's , what you can see is different from these different modules is... that.. for some awkward reason Taylor's has what is listed as
1.Malaysia Studies, Which.... I Dont know what it could it? what is it??? can anyone who is undertaking this course or have already graduated tell me what exactly is that?
2. World Geography!
3. Bahasa Kebangsaan A/B (is this bahasa malaysia? why? havent we already learn enough in school of course maybe this is for the international student)
4. Islamic/ moral studies : OK seriously i dont get this, why???? for my situation that would be moral studies, why moral studies?? same as BM, i have already learned it in school......

Ok so, who can tell me why is there such subjects? as if I need to learn all these, I want to learn about culinary arts, isnt that what the course tittle mean anyways? Why is there so little units directly associated with cooking? or kitchen. as compared to the other modules table we can see from nilai and Kdu

Ok so now i have told you about the weird thing i see.

now im going to tell you why i want to get some explanation from experience people.

I am trying to find the right College/University that at the same time is also my money's worth.
At the Moment, I can tell you, I am more willing to pay RM39K for KDU or Nilai, Because RM39k is the total cost of Taylor's Diploma in Culinary Arts, Yes that is a Big sum of money, That is why, I have to be sure and not judge the quality or education from just the programme modules alone.
That is why I need people who are taking Taylor's French Diploma in Culinary Arts or have graduate to tell me, Is it worth the money? is it better than other colleges?

As u can see from those module link i posted, KDU and Nilai seems to offer more education on Food or subjects that are well related to it.

So, It is hard for me to choose which college i will go to, So can you tell me if Taylor's offers better than what i see? i cant just judge from the programme list alone.

So the question you can help me by answering is.

1- If the Money is worth for getting the cert,or maybe some other college would be offereing better untis
2- Is there more cooking related subjects than what is listed from here http://img199.imageshack.us/i/programei.jpg/
3- Tell me about your education experience while undergoing Taylors Culinary Course (Minus industrial Training, because i want to know what you actually learn in the classroom)

Feel free to add anything you wishes to share with me.

Lastly I want to tell you, I love cooking, I enjoy cooking, I want to learn more about cooking , and of course not just about cooking, managing the kitchen etc etc , the last thing I want is. to enroll into a course that offers minimum education on this department and suffers my school years to wake up early in the morning travel all the way from Port Klang to PJ just to go to class and study moral/ BM/ Math/account/ and geography.
Also i wanna add, that I might further my studies in australia at le cordon bleu or william angliss in the future, it could be 3 or 4 years later.
and i know Taylors are partnered with le cordon bleu, But i have doubts in the programmes they offer.

Please save me before i fall into this pit of horror. and Please enlighten me if there is more to it than it seems.
