Eat Ur Way to a Better Health

Ok, some health tips from a monk (practises healing) from Hong Kong who came by Singapore to lead in chanting this week.

(1) Good choice of Chinese tea to drink - Pu'Er (only those harvested from YunNan, China) as it's less acidic compared to the rest.

(2) Include more sesame (black and/or white) into our diet - to help cleanse blood,

(3) Eat bananas and papayas regularly - to aid in digestion & bowel movement,

(4) Stop eating spinach - Spinach when digested, will deplete calcium from our bones.

I've heard about the last one some time ago from some aunties that came by my workplace.. so it's not a myth lar. .. And I used to think spinach really gave Popeye the muscles ! *chay*

Caught an episode of Extreme Makeover over Channel 5 yesterday. Cant help but feel abit odd for the husband of the participant who had a make-over just before her wedding to surprise the husband. The emotions on the husband's face didnt change lar when he unveiled her at the altar, but can u imagine what will happen if he didnt like what he saw and decided to "belakang busing" ??? Wah, definitely will help ABC.com shoot up ratings man ! Then we can rename the series as Monstrous MakeOver.

Having said that, Im secretly hoping that some brand manager from Marie France or Expressions will catch me wobbling on the streets & decide to give me a free body make-over in exchange for commercial advertisement. *tsk*tsk* Splash my face & "before" photos all you want ! Imagine one day me sashaying down the beach in my bikinis ... ha..ha.. it's worth all the sniggering behind my back...

Blood - Fat Analysis

Face getting pale.. body already hay-wire ... figure long-ago out of shape ... so I decided to go for a simple check-up yesterday at a semi-posh health club.

Guess who I met inside the consultation room ?? No prize for winners of guessing games though.. ha.ha.. (Ans: An ex-actress ..) I can hear the sharp intake of breath ... Fancy an ex-actress doing blood analysis for you !?!~ Although the chances are that she may not be qualified as a doctor or experienced in this field and she might be telling u half truth only but ... the experience is great ! Esp having someone so beautiful, whom I've admired since she participated in the Star Search Contest in the 90s to give you personal consultation ! ha..ha.. SHIOK !

The shiok factor aside, the live blood analysis was a BIG wake-up call for me. In just a tiny drop of blood, we detected at least 15 - 20 triglycerides - type of fat linked to heart diseases and another type of fat - dunno what you call it, which mostly amalgamate around the tummy & hips. People with love handles or big tummies will have loads of the 2nd type of fats apparently. The ex-actress cum consultant could even diagnose that I was suffering from fatigue from the appearance of the free radicals clogging the "veins" of my dried blood ! Hmm... it doesnt take a blood test to know. .. My dark eye rings & sallow complexion were already tell-tale signs... *tsk*tsk*

From the screen where my drop of blood was magnified 25,000 times, could see that my blood cells were not clogging (good), activity level of live blood was mediocre (ok), no presence of parasite (good), but my red blood cells die pretty quickly (oh no.. meaning presence of chemicals & certain metals) ...

I guess everything falls into place now ... I made the right move ... It's a good time that I take stock of my life, find time for myself and plan what happens next ...

The present lifestyle must not carry on any further ...

First time see him talk to me so gently ... I really wavered alittle since making the decision .. ha..ha.. Maybe I should have gotten him to counterpropose another job for me in one of his many other companies but *sigh* .... forget it lar ...

Just about time that Guru Lian Huo is coming to Singapore ... I'll be helping him for fortune-telling again .. and also a good time to ask him to give me blessings on my future plans .. So looking forward to see him ! = )

300

Anyone watched 300 & had a good luff in between a few scenes ? Like when u see weird beasts like mountain goats acting the part as musicians while the "gollum" imitation was seduced by a bunch of scantily-clad nymphos in front of the walking sex god (ohhhh he's very hot indeed !! *tsk*tsk*) . In the long-standing war between the Spartans and Persians, strange looking characters apparently "from the east" and all kinds of exotic animals were also roped into the war .... huh, what the hell ??

I am a big fan of mythology and I soooo love to watch the old classic Sinbad movies .. but this ? .... hmm .. other than the special effects of blood spurting and severed heads/limbs flying, and hunky Spartan warriors with just enough clothing to cover their modesty *wolf whistle*, give me "Gladiator" anytime. The director might have the intention to add some humour or to jazz it up, but no man ,... it's a bit far-fetched .. doesnt work for me ...

Nonetheless, how wrongggggg can a movie be when men with ripping muscles & toned legs fighting with passion take up half the screen time ? At least I know I walked away feeling slightly entertained and amused after the credits rolled ... heh .. heh .. ; )


Talking about men with passion, I'm one lady who lost my PAssion lately... ..

but recognising that the lost is made in exchange for more carefree days ahead,

I know it'll not be in vain ...

How happy are u .. really ?

Do you feel happy ?

To what extent do you feel happy doing what you do ?

What can you do to make you feel happy ?

If you are truly feeling happy, do you even question yourself on this ?

哈。。 哈。。

Felt a little impulse suddenly to buy myself a bouquet of flowers... hadnt receive a bouquet for donkey years .. hmm.... Hope I dun have to wait till Im hospitalised to receive baskets full of flowers (& fruits in tow) ..

What is the big deal about getting flowers rit ? Or why do girls like to receive flowers once in a while though it's a total waste of money ? Oh well, guess it just the novelty of seeing something so nicely packaged & would be better if it comes as a surprise.

Hadnt had a surprise for a long time... Perhaps it's also time to find someone to give me a surprise ...

Lovebirds

No reason is needed to celebrate & indulge in rich food even Chinese New Year has ended ... The "lovebirds" got together finally after 3 years of being apart & see how they reunited their love with a romantic ballard.

Extra Bucks Up 4 Grabs

Amid the tummyache & pending reports at work that MUST be done, i (proudly) manage to squeeze in some time to finish chanting a mantra and surf the web, at home.

To my delight, saw an advert on papers today posted by SGH looking for obese people to take part in their clinical study to research how exercise can affect insulin level. They pay well too - $XXXX (4 digit) ! Staying in for 2 days & exercise 3 times a week for a month is part of the deal AND it's such a good deal ! Where on earth to find people paying you to do exercise ?!? Heard about needing candidates to be on IV drip and all but if they are not injecting drugs and just glucose, then this is too good to be missed !!

Choose me, SGH ! Choose Me !!
