Karena Kamu KEKURANGAN, Tuhan Memberi LEBIH

Curhat Ibunda Pianis "Empat Jari"
"KARENA KAMU KEKURANGAN, TUHAN MEMBERI LEBIH"

Membesarkan putri yang dikaruniai empat jari, bukan hal mudah bagi Woo Kap Sun (50). Namun, ketabahan dan kesabarannya, kini membuahkan hasil. Putrinya, Hee Ah Lee (21), tumbuh menjadi pianis kondang di Korea. Berikut penuturan Woo pada NOVA melalui penerjemah.
(Suara lengkingan tembang My Way milik Frank Sinatra bergema di lounge sebuah hotel berbintang di Jakarta. Suara itu diikuti dentingan piano yang dimainkan Hee Ah Lee. Jari-jari pianis berusia 21 tahun tersebut dengan lincah menekan tuts piano. Hebatnya, Hee Ah, sapaan akrabnya, melakukannya hanya dengan keempat jarinya!
Berbagai nomor dari pianis kondang seperti Chopin, Bethoven, dan Mozart telah dikuasainya. Pianis yang telah diangkat sebagai warga kehormatan Korea ini telah mengeluarkan satu album bertitel Hee Ah, A Pianist with Four Finger.
Dia juga pernah pentas bersama pianis kondang Richard Clayderman di Gedung Putih, Washington. Sabtu [31/3], Hee Ah menggelar konser di Jakarta dengan tema Sharing the Strength of Love, yang merupakan rangkaian turnya keliling Asia.)

SIMPLE Friends VS. REAL Friends

A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had a fight.

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.

A simple friend wonders about your romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it.

A simple friend expects you to always be there for them.
A real friend expects to always be there for you!

Food as MEDICINE

HEADACHE? EAT FISH!
Eat plenty of fish -- fish oil helps prevent headaches.
So does ginger, which reduces inflammation and pain.

HAY FEVER? EAT YOGURT!
Eat lots of yogurt before pollen season.
Also-eat honey from your area (local region) daily.

TO PREVENT STROKE DRINK TEA!
Prevent buildup of fatty deposits on artery walls with regular doses of tea. (actually, tea suppresses my appetite and keeps the pounds from invading....Green tea is great for our immune system)!

 INSOMNIA (CAN'T SLEEP?) HONEY!
Use honey as a tranquilizer and sedative.

ASTHMA? EAT ONIONS!!!!
Eating onions helps ease constriction of bronchial tubes. (when I was young, my mother would make onion packs to place on our chest, helped the respiratory ailments and actually made us breathe better).
