Sucky Sleepy Shagged Sunday
(PS: ed, haha, sorry lar, i drank milo and coffee to keep myself awake.... i juz want to grab at anything i can drink lar~~ haha. Hmm think I dont seem able to take care myself properly yea?...)
I woke up at 4 plus in the afternoon today, ... ok, so I skipped my breakfast and lunch. No food for today yet.... And still I needed to collect my phone at 4:30pm in Jurong Point. I went online at 4:45pm and realised that the shop would close at 5pm. OMG! Immediately I shut down everything and rushed out of my house. The lift's too slow so I ran down the steps.. The whole vision was blur, and the world's shaky b4 me. I ran until I reached the shophouses and had to stop. I almost ran out of breath and felt as though my lungs had collasped. Blame on my lack of exercises. By the time I reached Mrt, the world in front of me was very bright, as though spotlights were everywhere. Stars were moving ard too. Maybe I oso haven eaten any food...
By the time I reached Nokia care in Jurong Point, the door had closed. In between my grasp for air, i felt so disappointed and upset... All I could get is the cold touch of the glass door and a sorry sign from a guy inside. I felt so empty lor.... A very sour feeling....
No choice... so I went Jurong East and wandered aimlessly ard the area.... Finally took a bus home. On the lift, I oso accidentally pressed the wrong button... Haiz, reached home finally and watched Saiyuki, an anime. But den at 7pm, I had to stop watching as my family wanted to watch my Fair Princess... Haiz.... That means I had to start watching from the start again to get to the last episode in the disc... I still got the headache from all the rushing here and there.. and everything else dun go smoothly as I wish.... so sucky.... and I'm shagged.
Yesterday spent the morning in sch... the 'crit session'. The person representing my group was a yr1, so I spent my relaxing time in LT and listening to other groups. Other groups had very good ideas too~ haha~ very amusing. Afternoon we went to Fong Seng to eat roti prata. After that I went to Boon Lay to repair my handphone. Ailing accompanied me and we chat alot. I went Orchard after that to shop in metro, and Ailing accompanied me too~ I finally used up the $10 metro voucher that Sis gave me. hehe~ We met up with jo, yock and ah ba and ailing left. We walked ard and had dinner in Modesto's. The cheesecake's not bad but I think the Olio one still remained as the number One. We chat until pretty late before going back. I dropped on my sofa until 3am to bathe and all. yup...
No handphone.... tired oso... disappointed...hate to make another trip to Boon Lay.
Another "Health Tips From Ed" Session: Milo and coffee are energy that can keep u awake mostly due to their caffeine content and high amounts of sugar. This combination rapidly increases the blood sugar level in ur body by increasing the amount of sugar and decreasing the amount of water in ur body. This is the reason why it is "heaty" in the Chinese medicine sense...
A good alternative for coffee and milo when u are heaty and u still wanna keep awake: American Ginseng (a.k.a 花旗参) which can be bought from any chinese medicine stores. Can buy ready made satchets or juz a big pack of sliced ones... the way to make them is the same... juz boil water, pour water onto in and wait...
of cos the satchet or the pieces can be used more than once, but the effect juz dilutes together wif the resultant drink... (this means that u dun have to keep making coffee or milo also... more convenient =P) oh and itz not incredibly expensive... i think if u buy sliced pieces should be quite cheap... (ask weikun lar...)
oh and American ginseng is supposed to be "cooling" so good for those who alwayz sleep late~~ less pimples, headaches, sore throats blar blar blar~~
*End of Session*
P.S. For the last time.... pls juz eat SOMETHING before going out... or at least have a hot drink that has some sugar content to fill ur stomach... ur handphone is so unimpt compared to ur health rite??
yes yes.... edwin-sama.... thanks for ur health tips!!
In fact last time i always drink ginseng but for the recent years i never le... Actually I dun really like the taste... compared to sweet drinks... of cos i prefer the latter... muahahaah~
Actually i tink ginseng has no effect in keeping me awake liao. my body grew resistance to it le~
