Today...

SUNDAY, April 19 (HealthDay News) -- You might be able to cut down on snacking by chewing more sugarless gum. During an experiment, people were offered a variety of snacks three hours after a standard lunch and were told they could eat as much of the snacks as they desired. One afternoon the participants also chewed sugarless gum for 15 minutes each hour in the period between lunch and snack time. The other afternoon, gum-chewing was not allowed during that time. The researchers found that people ate fewer snacks and shaved 40 calories off their in-between meal consumption when they chewed gum, compared with their snack consumption when they didn't chew gum. The participants -- 115 men and women 18 to 54 years old, all regular gum-chewers -- said that they generally didn't feel as hungry or as desirous of a sweet treat after chewing the gum. They also reported having good energy throughout the afternoon and feeling less drowsy at mid-afternoon snack time than they did o

YES! finally and again, i have finished another deductive novel from Agatha Christie. once again, i would say, the story and plot are very interesting, marvelous, intriguing, addictive and you named it. i really love to read deductive reading materials. currently, Agatha Christie and R.L Stine are my top favorite authors (i have mentioned it in my previous post. ) what i really have learned from these novels are....once you get hold of human psychology and relate them to the reality or in other words how human behave and react and think logically, you can actually figure out the truth and what might happened. other than that, try to take note with all the minor materials. for example, the person's handwriting, the way he expressed him or herself. you can actually unveil the truth. isn't is amazing? wow! i just love to read mysteries. .. i will recommend Agatha Christie : Five Little Pigs , a pocket full of rye

huh... this is the first time ever since i have stepped my foot here to feel EXTREMELY LONELY . why? most of my housemates have went back to hometown!! the very first person who has left is Wen Pei. at first, i don't feel anything. the atmosphere is still acceptable, there are still noises from other rooms. the sound of life! hahaha. only when, the sky is dark, together with yen ee,both of us were struggling for Phisiology lab report. both of us, walked back and forth among our rooms. discussing this and that, trying so hard to finish the lab report. only then, i have started to realise something different. something unusual. something that doesn't seem right. yup, it lacks of something. the presence of life . i was passing wen pei's room many times and only that i realise he actually not there. hahaha. no more sandal's sound of him, walking up and down looking for qi song. yea, it seems weird when you don't hear the sound anymore. it's was like a routine or h

hahaha...surprised isn't it? naw...i didn't break any rules, yet, in UTAR. unless you want to include about the "cheating part" that i did with my friends during PM quiz. hahaha. what i meant here is...ever since i have arrived at Kampar, this is the first time i eat junk food. hahaha...cool isn't it. yea, my plan is filter out everything. :P. i'm wondering if i really cut out those junk food, will there be any effect? hahaha. unfortunately, these few days i feel like becoming a "hantu lapar" . i'm not sure why, at certain time, especially around 2-3 hours, i feel hungry. haiz.....what is this ar? people trying to lose weight, suddenly feel hungry pulak. ish... "tak patut..tak patut..." just like today, after breakfast, i have finished my class at 9 am. i was hit by hunger binge. yea, recently, i have started to replace oats with "Nestum". you know why? i saw there was a discount for Nestum..i can buy two packets of Nestum f

haiz...this semester is really killing me. i'm not satisfy with my marks (lol, what else?). i'm feeling under pressure at the moment. Especially with my MATHEMATIC. SUCKS! i could say.i never like math. However, come and think about it. i don't like math because i don't know how to do it (lol, "good"excuse). i never understand the priciple of math. my brain just couldn't turn into the way it should be. i know i will like math once i know how to do it. (lol. who wouldn't?) whenever, i'm in a confused state, i feel really stress. i always wonder what happened to me? we all have the same brain. why mine just couldn't work like the rest of you all? i can feel it,okay. whenever i'm trying to comprehend a newly- taught chapter, or trying so hard to absorb whatever my lecturer has taught, i can feel the difficulty to understand them. As if my impulse to the brain has stopped half way or 70% before successfully reaching to my brain. i wonder if

Wondering why i'm talking about 17? is it related to my age? Nope, i'm no longer 17. now i'm referring to my metabolic biochemistry Test 2. you know what, i'm totally feel sad about it. Again, i have lost my marks. this time, i have lost 17 marks!! (not 17 kilogram, you know) exactly, 17!!! do you know what a big number it is? it's not that i don't know the answer for that particular question. I KNOW THE ANSWER, OKAY. I really knew it,man. i'm fine with it, if i don't know the answer. BUT, argh....i'm just SPEECHLESS .....because of this, my marks have gone down from 85 (i think, so) to 69. .OMG!!! WHAT IS THIS? i wonder whether it is a B- or B or B+ or worse C!! my mood really down on that day. i'm trying to be optimistic. i keep on telling myself that, "okay, it motivates me not to neglect for my final" BUT, Losing my marks in this way, is totally not a good idea,okay. this is a lot you know..... i just couldn't accept the

we have a Pengajian Malaysia Quiz yesterday. however, due to piled up works, most of us can hardly revised for this subject. seriously, i did feel angry with our lecturer. why? he told us about the quiz at the very last minutes. He sent e-mails informing the group leaders about the quiz at sunday but the quiz will be on monday!!!! WHAT IS THIS??? yes, this is his style of transferring messages to all his students, by sending emails. somehow, i think this method is not effective enough though it reduces his works a lot. you see, you don't really expect us to check our e-mails 24 hours per day, right? luckily, i was checking my e-mail before going for dinner, around 5.15 pm on saturday. i was shocked when i saw an email from our lecturer. (you don't usually receive e-mails from lecturer unless there is something important,right? ) he informed us that there will be a quiz on Monday!!! i was like, "WHAT!!!" it consists of four chapters,man. OMG!!! to make matter wors

As usual, after dinner, i went to Tesco with Yen Ee to "shop till you drop". Seriously, it's referring to me only. hahaha. wei, doesn't mean i purposely "dump all my money into the ocean", okay. i'm trying my best to save some money whenever i go to Tesco. haiz...it seems like i will definitely bought one or two items that increase my expenses. For example, today i have bought a toothpaste and Listerine. ONLY THESE TWO items already cost me around RM 26! haiz...no choice lo. okay, i better go straight to the point. when we were paying money for to the cashier, i have spotted a guy who is currently working as a chef at one of the restaurant. he was also paying money at that time. i straightly told yen ee about it. unfortunately Yen Ee didn't manage to see him for the first attempt. she was about to ask me where was he, and out of sudden she laughed. laughter can be infectious,okay. so, i laughed with her (lol). i was wondering why she was laughing. w

What kind of people is this ar? you really got a VERY BAD ATTITUDE LA. can't you just talk to people nicely? i don't require you to smile. as long as you talk to me nicely then it's enough. i was just passing a message to you, okayla, i was sounded a bit panicky and "kan cheung" at that moment. BUT was it necessary to reply me in that kind of attitude ? with your "lovely killer's eyes?" you looked horible in that way. this is not the first time okay. it had happened many times, FINE! I'm trying to tolerate with you. i just kept quiet. urgh!!you really get on my nerve,man. please don't make me curse you, okay. i seldom do that. i keep on telling myself "you are under pressure, moody and all sort of words that can comfort myself" i wonder this can last for how long? and i wonder if other people can stand with your "special" behaviour. just go and give it a tryla. i bet i know the answer. Don't tell me "whatev

Recently, there are a lot of dogs in my neighborhood. there are stray dogs which always poke their noses and sniff around to look for food (so..cham..) and of course there are dogs reared by someone. all these dogs really cause nuisances especially at night. i'm not sure why they prefer to bark at night. (??) hahaha. however, in the evening most of the owners will bring their dogs together to walk. it seems like a routine already. i wonder if they all have planned beforehand to meet at the same time. hahaha. sometimes i watch them train or most of the time play with their dogs. OMG..those dogs are CUTE! !! normally i just watch from far, however, recently (again) there is one dog who stays nearby my house entered my house. More precisely, it lingers the house compound sniffing around with its tails wriggling left and right (hahaha) searching for food. SO CUTE !!!. i can't help myself and went to my room to get some biscuits to feed the dog.. wow..he likes it! and managed to f

Let us try to figure out. working individually and as a group. which one is harder? yea, it depends one which perception that we are looking into. if you work alone, you of course have to suffer ALONE (hehehe). However, the power of decision making is in your hands. you can do whatever you want and you don't even have to bother whether your members are agree with you or not and it is not a must to have a discussion with them. no communication, no tolerance involved, no interaction and everything is a no-no-no. However, if you are working as a group, all the above "Nos" have to turn the other way round. there have to be communication , tolerance, discussion and interaction between members. Also, the power of decision making must be shared with the rest of your members. Any amendments, updates, changes must let the rest of your members to be informed. UNLESS. you say, "sorry la...i have no time to inform you all, this is urgent" or the whole thing is just ver

I should have posted this a few hours ago, but since i have planned to read my anatomy, i have dropped the idea. hahaha. Actually, i felt a bit lazyla, because there will be too many things to write liao. (lol). this entry is related to my previous post (selfish-fish syndrome). what happened today, really have widened up my point of view. Different people do have different perceptions. you and i might not be sharing the same principle. like i have said previously, we must learn how to give and take . Based on this statement, i think i need to add something in order to make it PERFECT (cheh wa...). "we must learn how to give and take , BUT we must be able to figure out when and what situation we are." that means, "give and take" doesn't apply to all situations. you wonder why? there are some people will take the advantage from you. yes, we should learn how to share But definitely not COPY . You see, sharing and copying are different thing. Just take take t

There are times when people can be so..selfish. it is understood that HUMAN ARE SELFISH (eating too much fish?). However, please control yourselfla. just don't make it so obvious and distinct, okay. i realized that whenever come to making decision, which will profit others but at the same time you won't lose anything. hm...in biology we call this as Commensal Symbiosis (hahaha, it's not a waste to learn science). There will be a voice , talking loudly in your brain, asking yourself whether or not "i should do this?" Normally, your brain will tell you " argh! Dun carela..what for i want to do this? why should i be so nice?" evil, right? well, we can't deny that this is US (not united state of america ar....:P) HOWEVER, we can fight it . do not follow your indulgence. THINK! in other words, use your brain lor. (lol). we can't expect others to treat us nicely where as we are acting so selfishly at the same time. so, take the initiative. b

Previously, I have never like the idea of listening to radio. For me, it gives me the feeling of boring and discourage. i'm not sure why,perhaps it's just my psychological problem (lol). therefore, i would not have a radio in my house (kl). except my parents. they would have their own personal radios. hahaha. nevertheless, they seldom listen to radio as well. however, eversince i have came to Kampar, i have discovered the fun of listening to radio. it really reduces my stress a lot especially during revision. many people might wondering, how are you going to concentrate while listening to radio? for me, i have no problem with that because i'm used to it already. besides that, i'm prone to listening to the melody and hardly concentrate on all those words or conversation, unless i want to.hahaha. long time ago, my sister told me that if you listen to music while reading, you can actually absorb more of the content. why? listening to music or radio more or less is actuall

Finally! the day has came!!! I already become 20 years old TODAY. In Malay: sudah genap dua puluh tahun. There is an odd figure for my age. the number ' 2' haiz...the day will come no matter what (lol).. Getting older and older... am i overreacted? (lol). many people say that 20 years old is a very important age. why? i have no clue..kakakakaka phaiseh. how i know..i heard people say only what. lame ... In fact, i don't think i'm special at this age nor i got any speciality once i reach 20 years old. Except, my friend told me today is the World Book Day . hahaha..hm..kind of related..because i personally love to read books.. novel, story books and comics (not text book ar :P). other than that, i don't feel anything at all. i have grown older but my attitude and behavior are like high-schoolers. not yet matured lor or in other words NOT SENSIBLE AT ALL .Poeple say human grow with experience . hahaha.. all i know is, today i'm 20, next year i will be 21 and

Hm...since the last few weeks i have been overslept for several times! nola, don't be panic,okay. i didn't oversleep for waking up early to go to school. instead, i tend to oversleep when i take 30 minutes nap before i continue with my revision/homework/assignment. haiz......it's not that i don't use alarm, i did but .....i TURN IT OFF CEH! now this is what happened. hahaha what to do, i feel groggy whenever i wake up. i just feel like continue with my sleep. so? i turn off my handphone la (what a daring attempt) tsk...tsk..tsk... there was once which happened on monday. i overslept for 3 HOURS! I couldn't explain why i can wake up automatically, sharp at 1.18 am. (cheh wa..) if i'm not mistaken, i was dreaming that time (don't ask me what is the content,okay. i have forgot about it. hahahaha). i don't know how and somehow i felt like i shouldn't continue dreaming. it seemed like not the right time to do it. hahahaha then what happened? i woke up l

i have been waiting for someone to trick me and said " APRIL FOOL! " (lol) and subsequently, i will do the same too. hahaha. i been rummaging my brain to find ways and trick someone. improving my own acting skill so that it looks REAL . unfortunately, all these are only remain as thoughts . none of them has been carried out. perhaps i should have taken the initiative and start it first before anyone does. haiz....this is so boring. if today my friend didn't ask me about april fool, i wouldn't have realized that it fall on yesterday. o_O!

The very first thing i did when i have switched on my laptop is check out the time. to my surprise, it shows 4.30 am not 5.30 am (lol). i have set an alarm to wake up at 5.30 am sharp. however, now what happened? when i recalled, i actually didn't hear any alarm,man. that means, i woke up by myself. i'm wondering what woke me up. usually, i would have required 2 alarms to wake up. the first alarm will the exact time i should wake up whereas the second alarm will be " ten minutes extended " from the exact time. (lol). yea, you can see that i can hardly wake up in the morning especially when i sleep at 12 midnight everyday. haiz....still.. .what woke me up ? argh...i don't care, as long as i have done with the things that i want to do in the morning, i'm going to steal some time to sleep before i'm going to school today at 8.30am. otherwise, my eye lids will definitely feel tired.
