I was reading Lifestyle, which is Straits Times' Life! on Sundays la..
and I came across this article by Sumiko Tan.

Cookies to the rescue

"...If this devotion of column inches to cookies has got you puzzled, you must be blessed with a health relationship with food - that is, you regard food for what it is, a source of nourishment and sometimes enjoyment, which you partake of three times a day.

I, on the other hand, fall into the category of people - mostly women - who has a more complex relationship with food. Food isn't just food but both a friend and a foe. I love it, I hate it, I need it, I don't want it, it is both a comfort and a crutch.

I suffer from what is known as emotional hunger.

Emotional hunger, researchers say, is different from physical hunger in several ways.

Emotional hunger is triggered by something that upsets you - you feel stressed out, angry or unhappy - whereas physical hunger is part of a day's living cycle..."

Damnit. I have emotional hunger not only when I have a negative emotion. I eat when I'm bored, sad, happy, studying, watching tv, over chats with friends, while walking home from interchange.....

"...Emotional hunger hits you suddenly whereas physical hunger comes on slowly.

In emotional hunger, your brain becomes obsessed with a particular food. Images of it keep playing in your head and you feel compelled to satisfy the craving at once. In physical hunger, you're not that picky about what you're going to eat and the meal can wait a bit too.

Once an emotional eater gets to his food obsesseion and has eatn his fill, he is overcome with guilt. Physical hunger, on the other hand, leaves one pleasantly full.

Why are some people more prone to emotional eating than others? Scientists say the human body has an automatic mechanism that alerts us when we are full and should stop eating.

But emotional eaters have learnt to ignore the stop-eating signals. They continue to eat to lessen the negative feelings they are feeling. Ironically, the binge leaves them reeling with guilt, regret and revulsion..."

Does the "ignore the stop-eating signals" remind you of buffet or after meal's desserts, and then you go "walao damn full leh, look at my tummy" and "ok tmr i'm going to eat lesser"?

"...The problem with emotional overeating is the sort of comfort food people turn to. If we hankered for healthy stuff such as broccoli and spinach and fruit, nobody would be complaining.

But we always crave for food that is highly processed and deliciously rich in fat, sugar and salt, and which leaves one overweight and unhealthy. There's s scientific reason for this too. Neuroscientists say that food heavy in fat and sugar has been found to light up the brain's dopamine pathway. This is our pleasure-sensing spot and the same area that gets all tingly when people consume alcohol or drugs.

Because bad food brings pleasure, we learn to want it. The obsession isn't helped by how cheap and easily available fatty, sugary food is.

Studies have found that more women than men turn to food for comfort, and that women have a hiugher tendency to overeat when presented with palatable food or when under emotional distress.

Women also prefer snack-type comfort food such as candy and chocolate while men seek meal-type food such as pizza and steak. But no matter what they eat, women are likely to feel more guilty than men..."

Die loh. I have cravings for both snack-type and meal-type food.
I think I'm she-male.
NO LA. siao.

To all girls reading this..

Guilty right?? HAHAHAHA. Damnit.
And I was happily eating Pocky which dear bought and we couldn't eat anymore of it during the flea last Saturday.
Guilty like shit.

"Tri la li la la baba.. tri la li la la nyonya.."

"karwan karwan....
zhun bei hao yi qi lai huan qing...
sama sama...
lalalalaidunowhat...
happy together....
lalalalaiforgotwhat..."

"chor chor.. wo yao qu de shi... he-ji-tang-ba xiao jie"

And ou xuan's name is bi-tit!
LOL.

Not bad la, the show, but I wouldn't pay to watch it.

Saw Nat Ho and Felicia Chin in the audience. Nat Ho's quite good looking in person, but not on tv. Thanks to better looking guys like my Weixiang. Sorry, Alvin Ng. Felicia Chin's so pretty la.

Oh, and I was guarding this gate to prevent ppl from going to the premier area. Then 2 kids approached me with flowers, and asked "Can you let us go down, or you help us pass the flowers to them?"

But instructions during briefing was, not to let the people pass the flowers directly to the artistes, and/or not to pass the flowers to the artistes yourselves. Pass it to their security, and they'll pass to them.

And then no security guards were near me, so I went "Err.. sorry you can't."

Then a media person needs to pass through the gate, so I opened it for her. Meanwhile she said, "You should have let them go. They're Xiang Yun's kids."

OOPS.

Flea with Huiqi last saturday.
12-9pm
Dear's indecisive i'm-going-to-leave-soon started from 12plus to 4plus.
And he accompanied us throughout. Thanks Mr Subaru, you and Subaru were really helpful that day.
And curse that hump at Huiqi's place.

Stupid Huiqi earned $100+. I only earned $50+. That's sales, not profit.
But still, motive was to get rid of clothes, not earn profit. That I told myself after I lost several potential customers due to my greed for money. Loser lament, Huiqi taught me the economic term.

Mother's day!
Lunch at Singapore Mariners' Club, or sth like that
Bro's suggestion.
Hainanese western food.
Yes, we're hainanese. Pure hainanese.

It's the rawest medium rare piece of ribeye I've ever eaten. Luckily the cow is served on hot plate with black surface. If it's on a white ceramic plate, I'll probably be turned off by the waterfall of blood.

Erjie bought this bite-size-jelly-strawberry-cheesecake, which we asked to be served after our meal, they served all 28 piece on a humongous plate after our so-filling lunch consisting of soup of the day, free flow salad at the salad bar, main course, dessert, coffee/tea. ($15.90, how affordable is that? Main course is ribeye ok?)

So we requested them to ta-bao back the remaining, and when they were about to hand it to us after packing, the waitress, looking very embarrassed, said in Chinese, "My boss thought we made them, so he took one. Before I could even say it's the customer's, he already popped it into his mouth. I'm so sorry!"

HAHAHAHHAHA! Funnily angry.

The love-hate feeling for dress codes/theme for my girls' birthday.
Angeline, your theme is.....
SO TOUGH LA.

MRT Randomness

I was on the train one day, sitting beside an auntie who talks very loudly on the phone.

"HELLO?! AH AH WO YAO DAO LE. HUH?? ORH NI ZAI LOU XIA AH? OKOK. AHH WO YAO DAO LE. WO XIA QU MRT ZHAO NI"

Like, the whole cabin can hear la.

She brings her phone down from her ear, and kpo me, just randomly peep at her model.

VERTU SIA!

Vertu ok? She's those typical auntie who wears leggings like a pants, high up until people can see your whole butt shape, kind of auntie. Talks very loudly. Not elegant at all.

Not rich looking AT ALL.

I suspect it's just the casing. HAHA. But then, maybe she's really rich.
But then again, if you're rich enough to afford a Vertu, do you still take the train?

OK I DON'T KNOW. I've just never seen a Vertu phone except from outside the windows of the shop or on magazines.

-

I was on the train another day, and a fine man stands in front of me, while I'm sitting.

Executive clothings. Nice shirt, good cutting pants, with a proper and decent looking belt. Oh, and a smart briefcase for laptop.

His handphone rings; "man man de, zhe fen ai, qiao qiao de zhu xia lai....~"

ok everybody. It's a fei lun hai song.

I'm like... looks are so deceiving. At least have a "ring ring" classic ringtone can?

Either his girlfriend changed his ringtone, or he really likes yangchengling in that show, or... I can't think of anymore reasons.

-

I am so broke. I'm going to work to earn some money.

-

And hey everybody, Huiqi and I are setting up a stall at a flea market!
This Saturday, 9 May. 12pm to 9pm.
Selling second hand stuff.

Do support us if you're free k? =)

Riverwalk. Upper Circular Road.
