My Pillar...
i juz realise tat this pillar of mine is a very important person of my life... one of my closest kin... someone who grow up with me, whom i fight and fall out with... but in the end, we're still close... and getting closer each day... i rmb i used to hate him when i was so very young... and everyone's attention seems to be on him... but maybe he feels the same way too... but ppl pay attention to us in diff aspects... and he's my pillar... someone whom I've been leaning for support for the past few yrs... I start to imagine what will life be w/o him ard? I used to have a bad dream tat he'd left me... and I was so scared... I woke up and found myself in tears... The fear started...
Haven had the fear since tat day... until Monday, when the fear came into me once again... i hate to wait... wait for phone calls... wait for ppl... I may sound relax coz I dun wan him to feel the same fear as I do... but I bidded goodbye to him at 6am in the morning and he shd be in the operation theatre at 10am... op shd finish by 11am... but its already 1.30pm and still no sight of him... I can finalli understand the anxiousness that I've seen on the actors face in TCS drama series when the family members are waiting outside the op theatre... but hearing tat it was a successful one... juz feel relieved... one load off my shoulder...
been running from hm to SGH for the past 2 days... stayed there from morning to close midnight... i know he's scared of loneliness... and restricted movement means he cant smoke w/o us ard (no one bring him to the garden to smoke)... no one buy coffee for him... and he has to eat the tasteless food provided by the hospital... i dun mind travelling the long distance.. i dun mind eating there... or even slp there... as long as i can be there... and he can recover soon... have i grown up? or I've finalli realise the importance of him... much more impt than dear... he's afterall my family... the support for the whole family...
this pillar is my bro... i believe my life wouldnt be the same w/o him... he's juz so dear to me...

the qn i ask myself: Why would anyone wanna look back at the bad things... whats past is past...
But somehow, the bad past makes me gif out a huge 'sigh'...
suddenly gets emotional while toking to jason... we always say muz look forward, not look backwads... but how many can do that? but looking back isnt always a bad thing... if its something good, its still ok... but if its something bad, it will juz affect our mood...
oh well~
maybe looking back at the bad past makes me appreciate more of the present... It was a GRAVE mistake... a mistake that I will rmb all my life... (althou' i dun wanna rmb)...
maybe it was a bad fall but I managed to stand up... and I vow I will stand up and be a stronger person... and appreciate what I have at the present... my family, my frenz and my dear wx...

Benefits of eating bananas
had craving for banana and I tink I have constipation... so i decided to buy one bunch of bananas... didnt noe bananas got so much benefits:
ANAEMIA: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia.
BLOOD PRESSURE: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect food for helping to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
BRAIN POWER: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
CONSTIPATION: High in fibre, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
DEPRESSION:According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain trypotophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
HANGOVERS: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
HEARTBURN: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
MORNING SICKNESS: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
MOSQUITO BITES: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
NERVES: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
OVERWEIGHT AND AT WORK: Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods such as bananas every two hours to keep levels steady.
PMS: Forget the pills eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
ULCERS: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronic ulcer cases. It also neutralises over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, trypotophan.
SMOKING: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking, as the high levels of Vitamin C, A1, B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
STRESS: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalise the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water-balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, there by reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
STROKES: According to research in 'The New England Journal of Medicine' eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

so many unlucky things happened to me recently.
1. internet down
basicalli my modem flashes a red light blinking.... so means my internet is down. den i called the singnet hotline. and after trying out diff ways of configuring, the gal on the line tells me tat its becoz my acc is suspended. coz i nv pay bills... i feel so embarassed at tat instant. thanks to my beloved bro who receives tonnes of reminder letters but still refuse to pay. so i have to settle the bal, $366 (can imagine how long i nv pay?)... and get them to connect back for me. but still cant connect back coz i duno whats the password and even thou the CSO helped me to reset, i still cant connect. reason: i keyed in the wrong user id. damn it! so after one whole afternoon, its connected.
2. fan spoil for my fujitsu labtop
my bro wanna intro this fantastic game to me, so he came to my rm and on my labbie. the fan has been damn loud recently, but i hope nth will happen. but when he heard it, he ask me why like tat... i say its kinda normal and then his reply was, scarly gg to SPOIL liao. and the next thing tat appears on the screen is: FAN ERROR. F*** was the 1st thing tat come across my mind. argh! im juz so LUCKY~ so i got kor to sent the notebook down to the svc centre. funan one will take 2 wks so kor sent it to henderson industrial park. collected the next day and I paid $110. ($80 for servicing, $30 for the fan)... i dun understand why the servicing is so ex? moreover its juz changing fan.
3. keyboard also dun work
kor collected my notebook and when i happily on it, i realise i cant type anything except maybe letter H, S and N. so what happen to my other keys? so i got dear to sent it back again coz the place so damn ulu and non-accessible by bus or mrt. lucky juz 2 min drive from dear's office and he's working in the noon the next day. and the gal at the counter argued tat its not their fault. she even mentioned tat "maybe in the midst of changing the fan, the keyboard also spoiled, so u have to pay $50 for the keyboard" and dear ased her "when u all are changing the fan, did u all touch the keyboard? If yes, why should i pay?"... didnt noe dear can argue so well. and he even told the gal tat he's a IT engineer. she dun believe until he throw his namecard on her desk and ask them to check and call him back. she called back and apologise tat the wire tat linked the keyboard is loose. so they muz have touched it and it become loose while they were changing the fan. anyway im not willing to pay a single cent anymore. I've already paid enuff...
hopefully everything is ok. all my pay goes to all this stupid things. and i even tot of saving up becoz i got no income in nov and dec. but... sob~ i shd scrimp more... and hopefully do more sales for AIA. anyone wanna buy insurance or interested to invest? call me k?
