theres something going on between LJ and my comp, LJ cant seem to load -.- i think thay hate each other. nevermind, gave up blogsurfing and decided to update blog. haha i think i have been coming online less these days, which is not neessarily a good thing cos not coming online does not mean that ive been studying. haha eoys eoys eoys. LA is this coming wednesday o.m.g. i think i need some luck + lots of inspiration + lots of handpower + nice pens. i hate eoys, cant wait to get over them.

yesterday was kind of wasted cos my family went out. guess what we did hahah. we went to catch prawns HAHA. its not the first time actually, and i dont exactly like it but somehow everyone else loves it :/ went anyway, cos i figured nothing beats staying at home alone feeling (very) bored and feeling the neeeed to study :/ it was quite okay, the weather was nice and there werent alot of people. (omg i typed peaple at first) haha i managed to catch 0 prawn because i didnt bother looking for them and i dont have the patience to wait for them to come out of their little hole while trying to kope bread (bait). hahah ended up sitting on a rock and catching lousy fishies. even my brother caught 2 or 3 (cant rmb) prawns O: the fishes were really quite lousy, cos they get so attracted to bread they kept coming haha. but they were fast and they can jump out of the net O: after a while i changed my target to Father Fish, the bigger sized one of their kind. hahaha i dont even know if its a male/female but heck, theres alliteration! ok quite sian, but it was better than staying at home :/

i suddenly like bananas alot! look they have so many benefits:

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect 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.

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 tryptophan, 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.

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.

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The 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 normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
