Lemon


Lemon

haha, thanks to jon for reminding me about lemons.
i just noticed that i haven't had pure lemon juice for a very long time (1 or 2 mths)
><
no wonder my nose was so watery for the last 2 weeks
after not having flu for almost 2 years!
yah, believe it or not, i haven't gotten flu for 2 years=)

well, the only reason why i just stop drinking lemon is not because i don't like it,
in fact, i LOVE it =)
i can drink and eat it like orange juice
without feeling the sour-ness ppl usually feel =D
i can take it empty stomach without having gastric or whatsoever after that.
owh, and i don't like my lemon juice to be diluted,
hence, always drink it concentrated! =)
anyways,
i stopped because juicing it was super tiring.
squeezing the juice out is really tiring.
i think, the next thing i'm going to plan to buy is a citrus juicer.
and it has to be Glass.
haha..
this is because i had a bad experience using a plastic 'thing' to juice my lemons.
the plastic actually changed colour and you can see the glue coming out!
@@
gosh!

since being reminded about lemon,
i drank 7 lemons in 3 days.
2 on Sunday, 3 yesterday and 2 today =)
haha,
and i'm craving for more!!!
if only someone can help me juice it =P

haha,
lemon is not just all about being sour,
there are so many health benefits of lemon water!
maybe after telling some,
you guys would like to drink lemon like me too! =D

  • Good for stomach

    Lemon can help relieve many digestion problems when mixed with hot water. These include nausea, heartburn and parasites. Due to the digestive qualities of lemon juice, symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, bloating and belching are relieved. By drinking lemon juice regularly, the bowels are aided in eliminating waste more efficiently. Lemon acts as a blood purifier and as a cleansing agent. The intake of lemon juice can cure constipation. It is even known to help relieve hiccups when consumed as a juice. Lemon juice acts as a liver tonic and helps you digest your food by helping your liver produce more bile. It decreases the amount of phlegm produced by your body. It is also thought to help dissolve gallstones.

  • Excellent for Skin Care

    Lemon, being a natural antiseptic medicine, can participate to cure problems related to skin. Lemon is a vitamin C rich citrus fruit that enhances your beauty, by rejuvenating skin from within and thus bringing a glow on your face. Daily consumption of lemon water can make a huge difference in the appearance of your skin. It acts as an anti-aging remedy and can remove wrinkles and blackheads. Lemon water if applied on the areas of burns can fade the scars. As lemon is a cooling agent, it reduces the burning sensation on the skin. (also reduces and prevents acne! =))

  • Aids in Dental Care

    Lemon water is used in dental care also. If fresh lemon juice is applied on the areas of toothache, it can assist in getting rid of the pain. The massages of lemon juice on gums can stop gum bleeding. It gives relief from bad smell and other problems related to gums.

  • Cures Throat Infections

    Lemon is an excellent fruit that aids in fighting problems related to throat infections, sore throat and tonsillitis as it has an antibacterial property. For sore throat, dilute one-half lemon juice with one-half water and gargle frequently.

  • Good for Weight Loss

    One of the major health benefits of drinking lemon water is that it paves way for losing weight faster, thus acting as a great weight loss remedy. If a person takes lemon juice mixed with lukewarm water and honey, it can reduce the body weight as well.

  • Controls High Blood Pressure

    Lemon water works wonders for people having heart problem, owing to its high potassium content. It controls high blood pressure, dizziness, nausea as well as provides relaxation to mind and body. It also reduces mental stress and depression.

  • Assist in curing Respiratory Disorders

    Lemon water assists in curing respiratory problems, along with breathing problems and revives a person suffering from asthma.

  • Good for treating Rheumatism

    Lemon is also a diuretic and hence lemon water can treat rheumatism and arthritis. It helps to flush out bacteria and toxins out of the body.

  • Reduces Fever

    Lemon water can treat a person who is suffering from cold, flu or fever. It helps to break fever by increasing perspiration.

  • Acts as a blood purifier

    The diseases like cholera or malaria can be treated with lemon water as it can act as a blood purifier.

  • Acts as "waken-er"
    hahahaha..added by me.
    to keep you awake when you are studying :P

    so, considering to drink lemon too?
    owh, remember to consume your drink within 15 minutes,
    vitamin C can be oxidized really easily.
    and and, choose lemons which are bright in colour =D
    keke..
    okay lah..
    back to my books.
    exams started yesterday,
    but mine is tomorrow.

    All the BEST to everyone!

    Exammmssss....

    Oh no!
    finals is just SIX days away o.O
    shucks!
    Prepared? err...nope...
    So, what am i doing here? blogging to get away from my books for a while..
    hehe..

    alright,
    i have nothing much to blog really.
    but i just noticed that my table is usually so filled up when i'm studying.
    let's see why,

    1. my rulers,
    haha, yeap! i have four rulers.
    one for the yellow highlighter,
    one for the orange highlighter,
    and two for my pens/pencils =D
    haha..
    okay, this is just so that my highlighter's head do not get contaminated. =)
    and two rulers for my pens and pencils is so that i can save time looking for the ruler and JUST in Case. =P

    2. my pens,
    hehe. These are about the minimum amount of pens i need to have when studying =P
    from left to right: Pentel correction pen, 0.4 Pilot red G-tech, 0.5 Pilot red G1, 0.5 Pilot red ball pen, 0.3 Pilot black G-tech, 0.5 Pilot black G1, 0.3 Pilot blue G-tech, 0.5 Pilot blue G-tech, 0.5 Pilot blue G1, 0.7 Pilot light blue G2, Stabilo orange and yellow highligher, my "machine-washed"/shrinked Pilot 0.5 mechanical pencil and lastly my Pentel soft eraser.
    hehe..
    i don't really like my notes being over colourful, so blue black and red pens are enough,
    that's why i have different pens with different thickness. =D
    (i still have a lot more in my pencil case, but, i don't really use em..hehe..)
    Yes, i am reallyyyy particular about the pens i use and would stick to them like glue until a better one is introduced =P

    3. Stick notes,
    Just got it recently coz i like Amanda's idea of
    doing sticking chapter by chapter,
    so flipping through my thick thick thick textbooks won't be that difficult.
    (saves time too =))

    4. my Calculator,
    i don't use it for simple calculation because i believe it's a waste of time but,
    ACCA questions just have a lot of these super large numbers. so i'm kinda like force to use.
    and also lesser mistakes. :P
    (btw, the sticker jon gave me is still on it)

    5. my Lappy!!!
    haha..yea.
    my lappy helps me out a lot..
    esp the dictionary function =))
    but..hee...yeah, Facebook. urgh!
    haha. however, de-stressing is important so...
    it's good to take a rest after studying :P

    6. Wonka Nerds.
    yeap! to make me Nerdier...XD
    make me study more :P
    but i just finished my 3rd packet of Nerds.
    ><

    7. Formula Sour
    to WAKE me up when i'm sleepy... :P
    i got this from US. just for fun. coz i'm a fan of sour taste!
    it's kinda sour, but it leaves a very unpleasant after-taste,
    so i've kinda like abandoned it.

    8. My Cup
    'Good Luck'
    to everyone sitting for their finals =P
    (never filled more than twice a day)

    and there's still more other than those mentioned above,
    i guess, now i know why my table is always overflowing :P

    ***

    last topic before I end and get back to my books.

    Nandos

    my fAvOurITe fast food =)
    coz i LOVE their garlic peri-peri sauce!
    (if you call it fast food lah :P)
    but,
    it's getting more and more disappointing every time i eat.
    everything else is okay,
    just that,
    this is what you usually get nowadays when you order Nandos
    Burnt chicken.
    (cancerous due to the carbons, and it's not only the skin, but also part of the meat, so if you were to take away all those black burnt part, you will be left with only......super little meat.)
    and so much for that "...nothing is more important than keeping your promise....promise to give you excellent quality and ......."
    (yes, they did keep their promise in flavour, but not the quality)

    so, this was what i get when i order Nandos delivery,
    because this is not just once, it's almost every time,
    so, i called up customer service and got them to change my chicken.
    and so they did.
    the best part was the conversation between the delivery boy and me.
    me: returns the burnt chicken
    DB: opens the box, "owh, so you don't like the burnt parts?"
    me: (==") "err, yeah"
    DB: pass me the box with the new two pieces of chicken.
    me: "much better, thanks =)"
    DB: "err, next time when you order you tell them that you don't want your chicken to be well done"
    me: (o.O) "err, okay"

    =="
    so he actually wants me to order a chicken which is not cooked well done?!
    medium?! rare??
    errr....=="

    haha..
    okay.nvm.
    back to my books :P

    the end.

    Mom's "Chilli Hand" Marmite Chicken

    before i introduce my mom's "chilli hand" marmite chicken,
    let me tell you a short story.

    "the Chicken that never came out alive after...."

    Once upon a time,
    seekor mother chicken flew into kediaman Teh while Small Teh was downstairs.
    The first thing that appeared into Small Teh's mind was,
    MMMmmmmmmmmm....
    Yummy.
    "tonight's dinner is going to be a feast!"
    So, jumping happily, Small Teh asked Mother Teh,"mom, how are you going to cook that chicken tonight?"
    Mother Teh answered "Your favourite dish, of course -- Marmite Chicken"
    -The end-

    heh. okay. lame. not funny. i know.
    (but you still read it :P *blek*)
    haha. anyways. the story is only 30% true.

    A chicken really did fly into my house one day.
    and i really thought and imagine that i would be my dinner.
    then, WHO KNEW,
    Father Teh and Mother Teh actually decided to rear the chicken.
    buy chicken food and feed bread.
    =="
    (and i actually thought that Father Teh would suggest eating the chicken since he didn't really like chickens..)

    Okay. Back to my mom's "Chilli Hand" Marmite Chicken
    ("Chilli Hand" in Cantonese is "La Sao" means. Chilli Hand. :P haha..dunno how to explain lah :P)
    Introducing....
    my Mom's Marmite Chicken..
    can never resist my mom's marmite chicken.
    coz it's just super delicious.
    tonight, she added my favourite chicken stomach potato too =D>
    YUMMY!!!

    Hahaha..
    okay, back to studying..
    have to stop being so lame. and wasting time :P
    but, before that,
    have a look at my "wai sek" dog! -Onyx-
    =D
    under my command "which one you want, Onyx?"
    =D

    okay. bye blog. hi books. ><
    but gonna say hi to my bed really soon too XD
    hahaha... :P

    Longest Monday of My Life @@

    I've reached San Francisco
    and finally arrived at Homewood Suite San Jose Airport after going rounds and rounds..
    searching for it.
    One thing for sure is that i don't understand the street signs of US ><
    unlike in M'sia..the road
    signs will bring you to wonders..
    hahaha...

    It was a looongggg Monday coz.
    i left M'sia at 9.25am. then took a 4 hours flight. 3 hours 30 mins transit and a 12 hours flight plus a 2 hours to find the place. but yet.
    it's STILL Monday@@ wow.

    The flight was about 12-13 hours long.
    and it was indeed really really looooooooooooooonnnnggggg alright.
    i don't mind being long hours in the plane BUT.
    I'm soooo tired but i can't sleep.
    I need to go toilet but i don't want to wake the guy sitting at the corner.
    I'm thirsty but i don't want to drink so i don't have to go to the toilet.
    I want to watch movie buy my eyes are really tired.
    what else i wonder.
    it's just.
    T-o-R-T-u-R-i-N-g..

    owh.
    and the weather here is really cold.
    i was stuck in the shower and i really didn't want to get out coz of the really nice warm water splashing all over me...ahhhhh...
    nice.

    After such a long long long long trip..
    all we did today was just sight see-ing as we were searching for our Home Suite.
    and my first official dinner here was...
    Carl's Jr. ==" *Blek* horrible.
    but i can tell you that the price here is cheaper than M'sia.
    and the burger if i'm not mistaken or maybe it's just my illusion that it's
    much much bigger than the one in M'sia..
    really huge.
    (haha. maybe coz i couldn't finish it that's why it looked larger and larger to me)

    Tomorrow me and my Second brother will officially go exploring around.
    =)
    but for now. (11.27pm SF (M) ; 2.27pm M'sia (T)). it's time for me to sleep.
    Will start with the CSB presentation slides tomorrow night.
    and will try to complete it the same night.
    all the best to me~XD

    for more pictures. please visit my facebook =))

    At Hong Kong's Airport

    Dear All,
    I've reached Hong Kong's Airport at 1pm and is now at the Plaza Premium Lounge waiting for the next flight at 4.25pm to San Francisco thanks to my brother's priority pass =))
    if it wasn't for the priority pass i would be dead bored at the airport during the 3 transiting hours@@ .haha.

    Just had some okay okay free food provided at the lounge..
    i think by US's night, i'll upload the first batch of photos to facebook =))

    Hmm...
    the flight was okay.
    didn't manage to sleep.
    So fun! got a bit of turbulence then the plane kept shaking like roller coaster XD
    hahaha..
    it's fun for me coz i don't have air sickness..
    but i think it would be really horrible for the rest.
    haha.
    the part i love and hate most is landing.
    love the part where the plane slants to one side..haha
    hate the part where my left ear drum feels like it's going to burst anytime ><

    alright. will update more when i reached =)
    time for massage chair =)

    missing and worrying about Onyx.
    stressing about the CSB presentation.
    freaking out about F1 F2 and F3.
