A little more. A little less.


This situation has got to come to an end, rather to say that we don't care, it seem that we can't care any longer. You wanna be ALL HAPPY. Go ahead. :)

Besides that, you still owe me an explanation about your post. Seriously. But it seems that you don't want to bother taking care the SHIT you've created, then fine. Will just leave it right there to see what happens next. The end.


Oh ya, and by the way, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO BE ALIKE WITH YOUR SISTER AT ALL COST. *You started this whole crap first*. And you know what, i've been wondering, is this how you even treat normal friends? By remembering every single details in our daily conversation so that it can be used as revenge next time?! Hey girl, I solute to you. One more thing, I'm still wondering that why not use ur "good memory" to memorise more important things like Sejarah rather then listing/counting mistakes your friend did to you. And not to mention, even blogging about it! Do you really think its something very proud to show off to the world? I shouldn't be interfering, but hellow, burning the flame towards me? Thanks a ton lots. This isn't just about attitude problems, its about IRRESPONSIBILITY!

I don't even get that why am i wasting time typing this post. At all. But since you asked for it (in a very narrowed way), i shall fullfill your wishes, because this is how "FRIENDS" should be mar. :) Your top priority is friendship eh??? This is what you get by treating peoples with your very special privileges given. Thanks. But no thanks.

If i wasn't the middle man between this whole thing, I wouldn't even tend to bother it at all. Maybe, I'm just a magnet towards trouble. Enough of this. End of story.


Above all, wish you luck in your upcoming journey of life.


p/s: You could be young once, but you could always be immature.

It's all about PUBERTY.



I'll just make it clear that I DON'T step into peoples boundaries. It just happens to be that the two main character for today came up to me the other day for a little speaking up. You know guys, the way you two were just now was exactly the past I've been through, and you know what, that's what true friends are : DARE TO SCREAM AT EACH OTHER.


I'm definitely not kidding at all, you should really appreciate that when you still have the chance. I may slipped this once, but i was immature that time, can't blame me.


But the NOW me. I keep distance with everyone, that's why, I'll let ppl to come and go from my life. People said that i'm selfish and all, but you know what, I'm SO SICK of being hurt/ and to hurt someone AGAIN. That's why, the freedom is yours to come or leave whenever you want.


When your in a bad mood/fuck times, you'll tend to go a little cookoo... But hey, there's a reason for all this right?! It's some how the worst/best thing happens to a teenager, if not, it isn't what we call THE SWEET REBELLION yes?! Because at this age, we get to understand the true meaning of FRIENDSHIP. It may fuck badly, but ones you turn your back and recall it, you'll see that it is then where everyone spend their most time laughing/crying/fighting...... None of this would happen if we weren't what we call TRUE FRIENDS.


And do you know one thing CART, before all this SHIT happened to me and YL, i've ticked most of them (laughing + crying) between us, maybe you didn't know that (so does YL), but the truth is, I'VE SPEND BLOODY FEW HUNDRED TIMES trying to make things out between us, YOU JUST BLOODY DON'T KNOW. And that's why, I have the RIGHT to stand by you and say that I DON'T DITCH FRIENDS THE WAY YOU THINK! okay?! By the time I stop making effort, that's the time when i REALLY feel tired and to just stop trying.


P/s: After all this havoc caused these days, it's a pretty good opportunity for us all to sit down and relax a bit, thinking what we've went wrong this year or what to maintain if it's correct. Well, its what year ends are for what right?! Reflecting mistakes and to repair it by next year. Year by year, that is how people tend to grow up and to become more and more mature. Treat this incident as a growing path for all of us.


Hey, I've found my mistake?! Have you?! Smile everyone. Let's face it, and to stand up for it. It's the first thing i'm going to do tomorrow. What about you guys?! Found out yet?! Well, I'll be here handing you courage. Will you hand some for me???? Wish me luck. :)



GOOD LUCK TEENAGERS!!! :D




We're all in this together.

Foods That Build Bones.

Build bones? As in growing more bones? NO LA.... Building bones most probably meant by = preventing osteoporosis. But, maybe, just maybe, to those who wanna grow a bit more taller, and are so sick drinking milk every single day, or to those who are allergy to milk and thinks that you are destined to be SHORT, i've just found out some foods that might be useful for you, and your bones...rather than moo moo here, moo moo there. :)






1.Broccoli

Okay, this will be the first vegetable you'll be reaching for the next time you're in the hypermarket/pasar pagi. Hate it because its green? No more excuses, hand on Cauliflowers, which has the same nutritional value too. One cup of broccoli contains a hearty dose of calcium, as well as manganese, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron. It contains powerful anticancer properties, such as high concentration of vitamins—including A, C, and K.






2. Bananas.

Woohoo!!! One of my favourite local fruits around (does it relate to what zodiac I am??? HEH.) I eat bananas because it helps to cure oedema (水肿), it is rich in potassium which helps to flush out our exceed sodium intake in our body, which is the main course our body swells. Sodium locks water in our body system making it hard for the body to metabolise.

Honestly, I love eating it, most probably because it is SWEET. ==

But, don't overtake it, bananas are high in calories and starchy fruits which is all carbohydrates. To those who want to maintain a healthy weight, I suggest you by eating it in moderation.

Can't stand the banana craving? Treat it as your main meal and try to finish it during day time.

Athletes and performers are familiar with the calming effect of bananas—a result of the fruit's high concentration of tryptophan, a building block of serotonin (it is a type of chemical in the brain that affects how messages are sent from the brain to the body, and also affects how a person feels.) Therefore, whenever you're feeling depressed/unhappy, try indulging on bananas rather than banging the door okay??? *winks
Their real benefit comes from potassium, an electrolyte that helps prevent the loss of calcium from the body.

"One banana packs a day's worth of potassium, and its carbohydrate content speeds recovery after strenuous exercise."





3. Kiwi.

Scream again. That our all time favourite ones again managed to crawl into our bones list. Hehe.
No need for me to teach you, you'll already be running half way through the kitchen taking every single kiwi you can find and start munching yes??? Oh ya, before I forgotten, don't eat kiwi with yoghurt. Mind my words. DON'T EAT KIWI WITH YOGHURT. It will interupt the digestion of yoghurt occuring indigestion (which we learned the other day), it will cause bloated stomach. Disbelieve? Try it if you DARE. :)

This fuzzy fruit is high in bone-protecting potassium. They're also rich in vitamin C and lutein, a carotenoid that can help reduce the risk of heart disease. For beauty purpose, this highly vitamin C content fruit is also well known to achieve a fairer complexion.

Another surprising results is, it is recommended NOT to peel its skin while eating, because the skin is where nutrient accumalates.




4. Bak Choy.


Surprise no? That this crunchy cruciferous vegetable which is super famous especially among chinese dishes are listed. When going out eating, simply point out this popular vegetable which chinese loves cooking it with shrimp in brown sauce.

Bak choy is rich in bone-building calcium, as well as vitamins A and C, folic acid, iron, beta-carotene, and potassium. Potassium keeps your muscles and nerves in check while lowering your blood pressure, and research suggests that beta-carotene can reduce the risk of both lung and bladder cancers, as well as macular degeneration (视网膜黄斑退化).


5. Dried Prunes.


This gotta be in your to-eat list, not only packed with antioxidant, but also great for your bones? No kidding wei. :) Sunsweet better pay me for keep on advertising their prunes. :P
But another thing I wish to remind you guys is, when your eating either prunes/raisins, please please remember to wash it before eating. You'll be saving calories by washing away the additional sugar, and not just that, it helps to clean away the extra preservative clinging on to it too. So, don't be lazy~!!! Wash the damn thing!!!! :D

These dark shrivelers are rich in copper and boron, both of which can help prevent osteoporosis. They also contain a fiber called inulin, which, when broken down by intestinal bacteria, makes for a more acidic environment in the digestive tract. In other words it helps in digestion too. It facilitates calcium absorption, so that it makes sure that the bones get all the calcium needed.

On the other hand, prunes are a source of energy, because it is a main source of glucose. Therefore, enjoy four or five a day to strengthen your bones and boost your energy. ;)

Seriously, I thought that i was all prepared by studying Stpm in catholic, but.... plans MIGHT probably change! Honestly, i don't have a clue where i should be going. Anyway, we'll talk bout it later, no hurries. :D

Hectic Lifestyle


On the way to the club, my mum suddenly said : "why is our life so hectic?!"

Me: Don't you think three of us (me, dad, mum) has a super busy lifestyle one meh?!

Her: yeah... Everyday go here go there without stopping! That's why times running that fast.

Me: yeap.


Someone just asked me a few weeks back: "hey elynn, exam's over, now got much more time a not???? tv? got watch?"
Ahem, does anyone told her that my astro has been cancelled? BECAUSE NO ONES TOUCHING IT!!!! haha. yeap, poor little tv, we normally thinks that it's just some kind of decoration for which EVERY family are ought to have, it does feel weird walking into a house without a tv no? :)
Since then, i realised exam was definitely over, but... why doesn't it make any differents? I'm still busying here busying there... as usual.


Nic was planning to come over to my house this upcoming holidays, but eventually, I hesitated, and I said that I might consider, not because of other reasons, it's just that i'm not even sure whether i'll be at home!!!! :( Holidays tuition are going to be from 4.30pm till 10pm (it's like going to school), oh man~!!! sighness. Never mind, i'll take it easy peacy, like what my mum use to say: busy better than lazy. :D

*We'll plan about it okay?! Heading Taman Negara for mountain climbing yes???

Adios people. ;)

ps: was told that why are there so few pics in my blog, my answer: Focus on the words! :)

Too Good To Be True.


Too many good things are happening at yet in a so little time.


I've received a letter from BSN (Bank Negara) today that i've just won Rm100 from their lucky draw under my name!!! (no it's not a stalker/illegal group who cheats money) Though it's a small amount, but still, it's a hint towards a great beginning! ;D


Someone around me is changing to a very horrible attitude that i've been avoiding since. I've convinced myself today over and over that holidays are arriving soon that I just have to tolerate for a couple of weeks.
Now, I only hope that holiday arrives faster and till next year, i'll pray/hope hard that I'll get my butt into A class for a new beginning. Because students there are more focused and responsible comparing to *ahem, and yet they are sincere enough willing to gain knowledge with an open heart. It's a very good morality to be learned.


Besides that, I missed ballet today!!!! grrrrr~ as you know teacher will be announcing the results of our Gd6 examinations and picture taking today. And i bloody missed it. She'll most probably have to postpone the picture taking till this friday because of my absents!
Well, all I have to blame is my bad time planning, as i went late to my maths tuition which is before ballet, and of course, I was stuck there with a huge piles of homework (thanks a lot to the teacher) which I'm ought to finish it before I am able to leave. sigh~ I didn't know it took me bloody long which when I saw the watch, even my ballet class has finished!!!! :(


Too bad, all i can do is to wait for this upcoming friday to get the results. *fingers crossed*


Toodles. :D

JAPAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D



can i scream again????




JAPAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


JAPAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!


JAPAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We went to the travel agency and the price was like a bomb, hint: 5 digits! I nearly hesitated NOT going because of the price which can cost a fortune. But, the mind just keep telling me not to say the damn word. Maybe i'll shut my eyes when daddy's paying. He said that he don't mind as I've made so much effort this year, it's a special surprise from him! *Tears spilling all over*
(I thought i was dreaming, really)

And yet another unbelievable promise from him: "I'll bring you to UK end of next year if you get straight A's in spm."
And here comes the MOST touching part: "I know you can do it, so i PROMISE you now and I WILL bring you there! " touching no?! I didn't know that he had so much faith on me. And it gave me a huge motivation!!!!
(yes, i was pretty sure i AM dreaming~)


SPM, FANG MA GUO LAI BA!!!! I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU!!!!! :D

I've saw the schedule, super exciting places to visit. Eg, Tokyo Disneyland, Mount Fuji, Osaka...
We thought of going to Hokkaido too. But too bad it was too expensive, and mummy can't apply her leaves for too many days. So, we'll save it for next time. ;)


*I hope that it's not a dream. If it is, I won't wanna wake up!!! Never!!!! :D


p/s: I'm too excited that my hands are shaking. xD












F*ck. It's for real. :D

Craziest Day of My Life.

Yesterday,

Class teacher: Eh eh eh... wanna plan something for this coming holidays la. I wanna go out and play... Where do you think we should go this time??? hmmm....

Me: Go overseas la... Malaysia no places to go edi.

Class teacher: Cannot... some people cannot afford...

Then... a bunch of us gave lots of examples, eg. jungle tracking at Taman Negare, climbing mountain/ Gua Niah...

But, i wasn't feeling quite excited about these plans.

So,

Me: Wong Kah Yee, wanna go Taiwan a not?! We go together.

WKY: WANT!!!!! I WANTED TO GO THERE LONG TIME LIAO.

therefore,

we asked permission from our parents, and apparently they APPROVED!!!
Just me and her. :D
But apparently,
her sis wants to go, she even asked whether I'll get mad if she somes along == of cuz not silly, the more the marrier!!! :D She's bringing another friend along to make things more interesting.

So,
Today, during our making wine session in the bio lab, I CALLED THE AGENCY!!! Bloody, i do have lots of courage when it comes to play/travel.
Call me the little-miss-over-matured/ over-brave-women, yeap, that's what i did. But before that, I asked my bio teacher about some important details/procedure about how to ask the agent to go to taiwan, and which company/airline would be the best, as she has the whatever-can-bincang-with-me character which I highly adore. *_O

After a long conversation with the the travel agent (i was like opening a small office at the back of the classroom), and i finally made my decision: 6 Days 5 Nights at Taipei. The total cost: RM 2398 for China Airlines. :D So, we'll be leaving on the 28th of Nov to 3rd of Dec 2008.


Hello???? Crossing the country by an 16 years old??? goodness gracious.




I told my dad about the details soon enough after hopping into the car, and he didn't offend. (I told you I have an ultimate super daddy) Therefore, decisions planned flawlessly and deposits will be paying on Sat as i'll be going to the travel company for further details. ;D

.
.
.
.
.


On the way to piano class,




Me: Daddy, i think i'm quite scary...

Dee: ==

Me: How would you react if one day, you and mummy wake up in middle of the night and found out that your daughter just left the house to the South Pole?????

Dee: hmmph.... won't be surprise.

Me: right....
.
.
.
.
.

I guess that if i were to own my income, the world is truly gonna be MINE!!! :D
My dream: Carry a backpack and travel around the world....ALL ALONE. heh~!!!
Actually, I've done something similiar in Bangkok, as my mum was dead tired sleeping her way in the hotel (it was past midnight), yours truly took the hotel card and went out to the street alone... because i can't fall asleep due to too much food in my tummy, so yeah~ that was what i did. But of course my mum knows that I went out, cuz i asked her before what! :)
Oh boy, there's no sense of danger in me, and thats bad. Terlalu independant also tak boleh la.... someone.... H.E.L.P!!!!

P/s: The adventurous character in me is soon to be discovered. :)


Unbelievably?! Believe it.




Bloody.

The Recall.




Another task yet to be complish. My ever so wonder Grade 8. And now, i've to pay extra credits for doing it next year as I skipped Grade 7. Phew~ sweats in my palms already.


This year has been the busiest year of my 16 years of life, when i recalled memories from the beginning of this year, I can't help but to say: "WOW!!! what a hack of a year! "


Seriously, time flies, or should i say time shoots (???) , as i'm referring it as a rocket.


Oh my sweet sweet goodness, it's october,already!!! And if i'm not mistaken, we're gonna be closing our text books in five more weeks time and say adios to our school while we finally get our long break before yet another new chapter of school life's begin. And yeap, before the true disaster comes. you know what i'm talking about.... Spm!


Well, most of you out there would hate it to be reminded, but hey guys, you still have to face the fact. Keep yourself concious, as anytime you blink, you'll might be the one standing infront of the examination room, right now!


This year have been a year that loads of thing changes as well, it hitted me so badly to the ground at the beginning of the year, and i still can't get through it, if i did, it still left bad impacts to me. But the truth is, all this havoc has made me grown up. I've been struggling pretty hard for months and months until i've realise my whole personality totally changed!!! I was no longer smiling that often, having the jolly-jolly laughter anymore, i was so scared to have a true conversation to anyone, including my neighbour who sits next to me. I know she tried really hard to please me and to talk heart-to-heart with me, but I just couldn't let her in. Yeap, i was hidding something, or maybe nothing, for who-knows-what, i was mentally feeling all tide up. I didn't pretend that i was happy, because i know if i did, i'll be unhappier, so i remained silence most of the time. Plus all I did was burying myself in stacks and stacks of books which is quite scary whenever i do so, trust me, i've heard it few hundred times from my friends.

Looking back once again, i guess that i'm quite impressed at my results, i didn't think that i could do so to maintain the ability and consistency to keep studying and yet passing up homeworks on time, cause to people who know me, I don't ever ever past homeworks on time for the past 3 years in KC. Though its obvious enough that the year end first position isn't me as it will be going to someone else who is more worthy as she'd most probably worked harder than me. But at least i've improved, a lot. Maths, which was a whole time total disaster to me, as well as other subjects, but the strong willpower has made me overcome the fear for it, on the other hand, i found out that I didn't hate maths as much as I used to. I still do believe that there is still much much more room for improvement can be done, I slipped a little during this examination, but yeah... no sighness but to work harder. :D


Throughout this year, I kept asking weird questions to my parents such as :" Why is life *** / Is life meant to be ****??? " all sorts of annoying questions, and sometimes, I myself too would wanna paste a cellophone tape on my mouth so i could just shut up.


And therefore, i really want to thank my parents for giving me spiritual support, even though i seldom ask/ tell my mom about what's going on in my life, because all i know that she would start to nag me or annoy me in any possible way she could think of. But sometimes, some words said accidentally by her was just the answer i've been looking for. Unbelivably, but yes! yes! She makes me realise a lot of things! :D And to my dad, no doubt, the 24hours reliable shoulder I could lay my head onto. I don't know who else could comfort and to console me everytime i feel stressed out. He's my ultimate SUPERMAN!!! Even though i know that most of my classmates/friends are closer to their mother compare to their father, as you know, you can tell anything to your mom as in girl-to-girl talk, but since my mom and I always quarrel due to the fact that i can't stand her fussiness and babbling (though i'm close to her as well) , i'm glad that God gave me a dad which is cool, calm, cute and funny (all the positive adjectives you can use)... I think that it's a balance. And i really am glad to take it for granted. :) Thank you Lord Buddha. Maybe was my past life, who earned me such a good parents. Ahhh... sometimes karma IS good.

And yet the fun part,

DRIVING LICENSE NEXT YEAR. cheers!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

but i heard that it'll be almost Rm1000++ for the whole package (including practical and undang). It's not cheap to owe a car!!! :(

and oh ya,

I'm thinking of taking up rock climbing as a sport as i would be more free during the hols. Any suggestion??? :D I'm making plans already... yeehaa~~~!!!!

p/s: more extra fine dark chocolates for me please. :D

The Coffee Addict.





Okay, so i was sleeping cosily, after who-knows-what woke me up, i really am quite sure that the alarm clock rang as it used to (even though it's not), i went down stairs and started my meal of the day --- breakfast. After swallowing 4 pieces of bread, a piece of choc cake bread, half a slice of eight grain bread and finally a piece of dark chocolate, i forced myself to stop eating (even though i'm still quite hungry), I ran myself a cup of espresso to begin my day. Walking through the path way in the leaving hall, i saw the clock, unbelievably, showing me its both hands pointing at 4am only. I rubbed my eyes as i thought that it might be the wrong sight of it. But nope, still 4am. All i have to blame is my body system, which i think it had automatically whined itself to this time for waking up, because not to mention, i wake up almost everyday around this time/or earlier from the beginning of the year. Okay, i'll know what is going on your mind: why on earth waking up this early?!

Here's my answer: Finishing homeworks + study. Now you must be thinking, siao. Yeap, because I'm too tired at night after a long day from school to piano/ballet, i really am gonna collapse. This method works for me so that i get my good night rest (even though still not enough) AND to finish my homeworks without delaying. :D


Oh ya, speaking of espresso, okay, never mind, from coffee first (i changed to espresso these few days bcuz espresso seem to be much stronger) i was still wondering when did i start to pick up this caffeine habit?! Trying to have flash backs from the past, i finally recalled that my first time picking up this habit was since the first examination in KC (my dearest high school) . That's when the time i found out this new way of studying before the exam: sleep straight away after school and wake up in the middle of 12am and start studying till you enter the exam hall. But i wouldn't have stayed awake without the sake of caffeine, so naturally coffee has become my all time exam-buddy since that day onwards.


Well, I remembered there's this one time where i bought a glass bottle of Nescafe from 7-eleven the day before exam,and when i reached home, i accidentally broke the whole thing by slipping it off my hands, i tried and tried to take the least of coffee on the floor so that it can still (at least) lasts for me till the next day. But much as i was like a caffeine-ghost, i found out that none of the coffee powder can/ nor be used because of the shredded/ serpihan glasses found bits in the coffee powder. Even though i knew that no coffee = die for me, but the fact that had told me i'll die EVEN FASTER if those shredded glasses were going to cut into my stomach and cling on to my digestive walls. So i just leaved it and swap it away and thought that i'll survive without coffee at least ONE day.But a big thanks to the carelessness of mine, I FAILED THE PAPER FOR NEXT DAY. Seriously, my eye lids was like a few pounds heavy, and i ended up sleeping through my study session.

:(


From that day onwards, i've learned my lesson: Exams definately WON'T go without coffee, and therefore, everytime exam's approaching, I have to make a double-triple check on the availability of coffee in the kitchen, by assuring that i'll NOT doze off half way studying.


Though from Form1 till Form 3, this technique of studying still works for me, and passed my papers (not to say flying colours), but with a fairly satisfying results (occasionally), but from this year onwards (Form 4), try using this method AGAIN, and i bet that NO ONE would survive till the year end with a paper : unfailed.


That is why, drinking coffee almost everyday has been a regime for me. I don't call myself as a serious coffee junkie who drinks up to 4 to 5 cups a day,because i'm still able to limit myself by taking up the most for 2 cups per day only, because I still don't fantasise the taste of coffee, I just drank it for the sake of keeping me awake.


But seriouly, the fact is that, a suitable amount of coffee is beneficial to our health, it helps to increase our heart rate and aid in burning fats!!! :D Otherwise, it may hurt and strain your liver by hardly detoxifying the excess amount of caffeine in the body. So no one should ever over take it!

Bangkok Trip 2.

The admirable part of bangkok isn't bcuz of their fabulous discount prices nor their gigantic shopping complex and all, but the one really touches my heart is with their smile, and of course a very polite and friendly way of saying Sawadhee Krab. As you can see, Thai people don't know much about english, nor understanding it. I, myself was a bit worried for how are we able communicate with each other. The first day upon arriving to the City of Smiles (bangkok), I wasn't quite sure of the fact that they call it by that name, but through my experience, the name is really a worthy one. :) From the hotel manager, to the sales person in markets, their smile maintained as they used to, round of applause.

I'll let the remainding for the pics to do the description:

Morning breakfast at the hotel. It caused my addiction towards pancakes!!!! I'm so going to buy a pancake mixture and make a dozen of them. *wink .... and oh ya, with MAPLE SYRUP. But i think Kamahi Honey would be healthier.




errr... it's fake. :D


Most thai peeps are buddist, and they're praying for jiu wang ye. ( that's why it kept on raining over there)

Dinner at the cruise. (across the Menam Chao Phraya River)






Desserts!!!! again...

Focused on T-shirts. Their just too cute!!! 0_O heh. (Just being such a big fan of them, especially graphic tees) ;D My motto: simple yet comfy..... and not to mention CUTE!!!!





My total Boots shopping spree. Went there again the next night, bcuz the discount prices just can't make me go to bed. I've really never seen anything so affordable yet.... branded... and berkualiti. Weeeee~~~ my happiest of all.

Bangkok Day 1

I'm back!!! :D errr... with another few pounds gained~ oh man~~~



Mua sis just left to KLIA few minutes ago, and another few more minutes, i'm going to school.


Thus, Bangkok trip was fun!!! Really good bargain everywhere. Honestly speaking, it's better than shopping in KL, seriously. Eventually, i spend most of my money buying toiletries in Boots, it's like super duper super duper CHEAP (bcuz it's Boots b'day)!!!! There's this facial cream/lotion whatever, which costs round Rm45 at normal price, and was discounted to Rm9.90. Tell me, can you find this elsewhere in KL?!?! Trilled~~~~~ :D

Their clothing line is very trendy and stylish, despite thinking that they might be a little out of fashion as you know, but... NOOOO!!!! most of their clothes style follows the japan trend, so yeah, cheapo cheapo clothes as shown as the same in magz like Vivi. :)

By the way, my mum and I were all crazy about food testing in the super huge shopping complex. Omg i tell you, they are SO generous in giving away food for trying, not like M'sia, mostly everything must label "No Food Testing" damn la, no wonder M'sia so lousy, so kiamsap~~ ONLY KNOW HOW TO MAKAN RASUAH!!!!
On the other hand, we don't have to pay much for food (except for buffets included for morning and night)... Going into a shopping complex with an empty stomach, coming out with a super satisfied tummy. :D :D :D

Pics! Pics! Pics!

Great Food for Keeping You Young.... and of course, SMARTER.



Okay, do you ever ask yourself how to be smarter?! Or I should say, everytime when exam approaches, you start memorizing sejarah but it won't get into your brain no matter how many gazillions time you try to memorize it over and over again. I guess most of you will start slamping the book and say: "why can't any of this get into my head???? " while your mind goes like: " I wish my brain was like the SRISCA (whose sir name's) "low" fella's brain... " ( no insultations ya~) :D


On a lighter note, a person really can become smarter by simply adding/changing your food. Some of these food might be yuck, but some... hahaha... will be a joy to you guys. But I need to assure you guys, it doesn't mean that you eat these food like for a whole week and think that you can get smarter... nor younger, of course. These food must be consume regularly, after quite some period, hmmm... you'll notice the effect of it. ;)


But on the other hand, don't over consume it. Remember, the right way is BALANCE. (<--- so biology teacher's quote man~ ) ha.

1. Olive Oil

Aiyar, ching cartene, stop blaming your mom for using olive oil in your family's dishes, she's done you good. :D

Use olive oil instead of normal cooking oil as a substitute. Olive oil contains polyphenols, it's a powerful antioxidants that may help prevent age-related diseases. And i can assure you that the word ANTIOXIDANT is surely good for your brain.

(*tip: highly antioxidant food is super-duper good for your brain.)

Okay, let's get our biology class started.

As you can read, the word antioxidant, comes from "anti-oxidant" , when it is broken down. The word anti means preventing ; and to those who studied biology or chemistry(or to those who don't, pls check the dictionary, tq), oxidant can also be referred as oxidise, right? Oxidise in chinese we call it 氧化. For example, if an apple oxidises, it will turn yellow and will start to rot. The same oxidation concept happens to our brain as we get older by age, and therefore, antioxidant food is essential for our brain to keep it alert and preventing it to "rot" (just like the apple)

Get it?! Phew~ *wink



2. Nuts

Nuts might be a little expensive. It can go up to Rm30++ for 1kg. I know it's siao la, someone can go bankrap just by eating nuts. But an alternate way is when you buy chocolates, indulge yourself by choosing those with nuts, like almond chocolate, they are really high in nutrients you know. ( But this doesn't mean that I encourage you to finish the whole bar of Cadbury or Ferrero Rocher la. After you gain few pounds then sui la right?! ) But still, you really should put nuts into your daily diet. Rm30 can last you for a month, just limit yourself by taking a handful per day, no more no less, so it's like rm1 per day... for a better brain leh, dai right???? :D

Oh sorry, straight to the point, nuts are rich sources of unsaturated fats, so they offer benefits similar to those associated with olive oil. They're also concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals and other phytochemicals, including antioxidants. And of course fatty-acids which helps to nourish your brain, so it functions better. :)


3. Chocolate

I can hear chocolate lovers screaming. Oh well, the main ingredient in chocolate, cocoa, which is unusually rich in flavanols that help preserve the healthy function of blood vessels. Maintaining youthful blood vessels lowers risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia (a serious mental disorder caused by brain disease or injury, that affects the ability to think, remember and behave normally. 精神错乱)

Cocoa is also the highest natural source for Magnesium. Magnesium deficiency is linked with hypertension ( high blood pressure) , heart disease, diabetes, joint problems and pre-menstrual tension (PMT or PMS).

But please, don't over eat it okay?! Bear in mind, B.A.L.A.N.C.E. and control that craving of yours. Go for 75% and above dark chocolate, I know it doesn't taste as good as milk chocolate, but the higher the percentage, the higher the cocoa content. Think about it, normal chocolate which taste like heaven is normally added with plenty of sugar. Well you want a better brain? You know what to choose.


4. Yoghurt

Yeap, everyone favourite. I don't restrict much about this, but you can't eat too much of yoghurt as well.By eating too much yoghurt, one may occur indigestion, which your tummy will be bloated, and you won't feel very well, trust me, i've done lots of experiment. :) Actually too much consumption of dairy products will lead to the same effect. Dairy products (milk, yoghurt, cheese) are very hard for our stomach to digest, so yeah, indigestion will occur.

Yogurt is rich in calcium, which helps stave off osteoporosis (a condition in which the bones become weak and are easily broken, 骨质疏松症). It also contains "good bacteria" that help maintain gut health and diminish the incidence of age-related intestinal illness.



5. Blueberries

Blueberries are not the famous in our country, but if i say strawberries, will it be familiar??? heh. But well, these fruits are considered expensive to peeps like us. Maybe mummy will allow at the first time, but few times later, you can sure hear her screaming: " put that back, so expensive still wanna buy!" heh. For substitute, go for raisins/ prunes (Sunsweet tastes quite good). By the way, I read before that green apples are also highly anti-oxidant, so yeah~ an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Weeee~ (but remember to peel the skin off, banyak wax tau. )

Anyway, compounds in blueberries (and other berries) mitigate inflammation and oxidative damage, which are associated with age-related deficits in memory and motor function. Get that?



That all for now, banyak tired man writing this post. More health infos to be shared. :D

p/s: Leaving for bangkok. Don't Miss Me!!!
