3rd week into the summer hols and 6 months into 2012.
i can’t wait to fly. 6 more months, getting there.
sometimes though, i have doubts of going for exchange solely on the basis of weather. even in summer now the temperature is a 12degrees. but whatever it is, it’d be stupid of me to miss this chance.
there’s a lot of things i dont say, i cant find the right words for it. that didn’t used to be the case.
i miss being single.
Life’s good
Exams over, and life’s good. Now I don’t feel like I want to quit school.
Spent a great deal of time bumming around, which includes countless rounds of mahjong, sleeping and waking up from 4 to 4. I only wish time would stop right here, right now, because I don’t wanna think about other things.
Had a lovely day yesterday, spending time with lovely people who matter. I love it when we just sit around and chill, talking about anything and everything. For once yesterday, we were not talking about IHG and sports related stuff. Some others are drawing away, but I have no time to think about them so i won’t waste my thoughts on them.
Hainan island with my mum and Jeff soon, I dunno whether to be excited or not.
Echo
been feeling pretty down lately, but the thing is i can’t pinpoint the source of this depression. last paper on monday, and honestly i don’t feel the urgency nor the motivation… never did anyway.
i wish all of our assessment criteria were all based on presentations; i’d do well.
i feel sad for no reason most of the time.
- tea soothes your system
when infused, tea has very strong hydration benefits. whereas coffee dehydrates us, tea provokes the opposite effect (sometimes it can even help a morning hangover.) that said, the drink helps improve digestion, as well as vision. some research has shown that drinking tea can even lower the risks of cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
- it’s good for your mind
need a little boost? forget coffee and energy drinks: a simple cup of tea can lift your spirits. this effect works in two ways: it fights fatigue, as well as awakens your body. and since it doesn’t increase your heart rate, tea (even when caffeinated) lets you de-stress and helps to get rid of agitation.
- magical nutrients
one of the main benefits that tea offers your body is its abundance of antioxidants. tea contains polyphenols and flavonoids, which fight against free radicals and protect our cells from daily aggressions. the antioxidants contained in tea are very strong; up to four times the amount found in vitamin c (which is also contained in tea). vitamins b and e, as well as beta-carotene, can also be found in tea.
did you know?
after water, tea (which comes in more than 3,000 varieties) is the second most-consumed beverage in the world. in regards to benefits, the less tea has been transformed, the richer it is. in order of excellence, they are as follows: white tea (the big winner by far), green tea, black tea, and then smoked and fermented varieties.
in regards to preparation, it is in the first three to five minutes of infusion that 85% of the tea’s antioxidants are released. it is also during this time that the tea releases its caffeine. so if you aren’t looking for that caffeinated boost, it is possible to decaffeinate your tea by simply throwing out the first batch of infused water after three minutes, and infuse the tea for a second time with more boiling water.

What a wonderful world
Remember to live. Remember to stop, take a deep breath and look around you.
Because the world is a wonderful place.
Out
of every experience is a valuable learning lesson.
Tomorrow marks the first day of examinations, and soon I’ll be a year 2 no more. There’s a lot of first for this sem, but i’ll make sure that i won’t repeat the same mistakes the next.
I want to and I need to pull up my grades so that I can have a carefree life when I go Canada.
Sighs, so much to vent.
