HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUMEI!
Will update more when I get back home from my grandma place =D
Today is the eve of my birthday. I am currently sorting my mood to welcome my birthday. Well, actually why is there a need to welcome it when it comes every year? Every year, I experience the same birthday as usual. It just marks the fact that I am one year older. Anne, you are 18 years old.
What had I done for my birthday eve? Actually, I am supposed to go out with someone. However, due to some many problems, the date was cancelled. Well, it is not the first time I get date cancelled. So actually, I have no comment about it.
When I was playing with the computer and getting frustrated as the internet is pathetic, Yong Hui called me to go down to help look after his house. He had to go and do some moving of items while I stay there to look after so that he do not have to lock and unlock the door. I am being a nice younger sister.
I was watching the television and rotting while Yong Hui went to get the boxes from my granny place and move it over and get it onto the trolley and move it the his house. When Yong Hui did his last round of moving of items, his mother and my beloved niece came over.
As usual, I would start playing with my niece. Yong Hui's mother went to get lunch for us. Thank you aunty. After eating, I brought my niece up to get her colouring book downstairs. She brought along with her the baby pooh bear. After which, I brought her down to play again.
Then, I was doing nothing again while my niece was colouring. Yong Hui, his brother and his mother had move most of the things into the house. At 3 plus, I went back to my own home. I started watching television and reading magazine.
I found this article on the magazine which is good for heart!
How Hugs can aid human hearts!So, after reading this article, you should extend hugs to people who need. Even if you are not a couple, nobody says that friends cannot give each other hugs. Regardless they are happy or sad, attached or single, person you have a crush on or a person who doesn’t, a hug speaks a thousand words.
A team from the University of North Carolina studied the effects of hugging on both partners in 38 couples.
The study showed hugs increased levels of oxytocin, a "bonding" hormone, and reduced blood pressure - which cuts the risk of heart disease.
But, writing in the Psychosomatic Medicine, the researchers said women recorded greater reductions in blood pressure than men after their hugs.
During the study, the men and women were taken to separate rooms to test their blood pressure and levels of oxytocin, which is released during childbirth and breastfeeding, and cortisol, a stress hormone.
The couples were then reunited and asked to sit together and talk about a time when they were particularly happy.
They then watched five minutes of a romantic film before being left to talk to each other for a further 10 minutes.
Next, the couples were asked to hug for 20 seconds.
Protection
Both men and women were seen to have higher levels of oxytocin after the hug.
People in loving relationships were found to have higher levels of the hormone than others.
But the study also found all women had reduced levels of cortisol following the hug, as well as reporting the blood pressure benefits.
The researchers, led by psychologist Dr Karen Grewen, wrote in Psychosomatic Medicine: "Greater partner support is linked to higher oxytocin levels for both men and women.
"However, the importance of oxytocin and its potentially cardioprotective effects may be greater for women."
Dr Charmaine Griffiths, spokesperson for the British Heart Foundation, said: "Scientists are increasingly interested in the possibility that positive emotions can be good for your health.
"This study has reinforced research findings that support from a partner, in this case a hug from a loved one, can have beneficial effects on heart health."
She added: "British Heart Foundation researchers have already demonstrated links between a positive emotional state, such as happiness, and low levels of the stress hormone, cortisol.
"This growing body of research only goes to highlight how important social support is for everyone, not just those in a relationship."This growing body of research only goes to highlight how important social support is for everyone, not just those in a relationship.
A hug is like a social support. A hug is greatly felt when you are feeling down. When you are feeling unsure and insecure, a big hug does make one feel better. When you are feeling frustrated or irritated, a hug would make one feel more relaxed.
And of course, a hug must come from your heart. Give someone a hug with feeling and not some "aiya, she want hug then I give her one" feeling. So everyone, a hug holds a million words. And guys, do not just do it to your crush or love one. And, do not do it for no reason either.
Ok, I know, enough of hugs. I want to complain about my poor internet connection. For some reason, the internet is showing a lot of attitude. It gets disconnect time and time. If not, it would be that it takes more than 5 minutes to load a page. However, this is not always the case. I can be using the computer for about 6 minute and the internet speed suddenly gets so slow and disconnected.
Anne, are you happy tomorrow is your birthday? Actually, I do not have much comment about it. I cannot say that I am happy but neither can I say that I am sad. So I am very neutral about it.
Here, I want to thank 2 people for now. Thank for their wishes. Please pardon for posting your wishes online =D
Edmund : Happy b'day in advance. May all your dreams and wishes comeThough it is just 2 simple wishes in advance, I want to thank the two of you! This is the first time I talk to Wei Shen. Thank you Edmund and Wei Shen.throughtrue and may you score well for your exams and in whatever things you do.

Firstly, I want to extend another birthday wishes to one of my friends.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIONEL!
Well, it is someone's birthday again. There are so many birthday boy and birthday girl on the month of August. I am proudly one of them.
The following day is TP paper. I have no choice but to chiong TP. I did not listen to TP during lesson time at all. So when I was studying for TP, I was struggling very hard. Now that I understand how it is like during exam when you do not listen to lesson.
Well, I am not listening to lesson practically every time. So it does not make much difference. So it still comes to the same conclusion. I should listen during lesson and stop having Monday to Friday blues.
I did not sleep much for the night. I was intensively studying for the night.

Another birthday wishes.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JING KAI DADDY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAISY!
Today is the last day of my paper. I am so happy. My paper is in the afternoon. So I had the morning to do more practice. After which, my brother fetch me to school as he is having paper at 2pm too.
The paper was pathetic. Then I was doing it and killing millions of brain cells. After paper, I went home. Most of my friends went out to celebrate and as for me, I went back home.
I went back home and realize that my sister and niece are here. I started playing with my niece and was having quite a fun time. That is the thing I do as celebration after exam, unexpected so-called celebration.
I receive the ear studs that I have ordered! It is so cute and nice! My niece saw the lollipop ear stud and though that it is sweet. She said she want to eat. My niece is so cute. It is because when she saw the lollipop ear stud, she was so shy and saying, "yiyi, I want to eat."
I LOVE MY NIECE!!!
After that, my mother and father came home and we went out to eat at the nearby hawker center. We had a full dinner. Then, the rain came. It was drizzling. However, when we reach home and my sister went back home, it did not rain at all. There were thick clouds. However, it did not rain.
Then, here I am blogging. I receive a mail. It is with regards to CAEM2.
Dear students,I hate summer school. However, it is compulsory! So I am quite unwilling. So, I would see my mood and depend whether I want to retake or not.
You did not do well in CAEM2; hence you will most likely be asked to take the CAEM2 Summer School between 26 Sep to 12 Oct . Details will reach you via your NP email accounts shortly.
Please plan your vocation schedule properly so that you can attend the Summer School. Attendance is compulsory.
Best wishes,
Dr Li
2 more days to my birthday. Initially, there is a whole list of programme, however many cancelled. I am quite free on my birthday! YAY!
Posted some jokes taken online. It is quite cute!
I am bored.
I do not know how to start on TP. I had not been a good girl during TP lesson and now, the conclusion is that I do not even know how to start, where to start from. Flipping the book but do not know how to start!
I wanted to print some past year paper for TP. However, my house printer only have coloured ink. The black ink ran out. However, I cannot change the fonts to other colour for the pdf files. Now that I cannot print the past year paper, I felt more hopeless and irritated!
Do something Anne, there must be some things which you can do!
Sian of everything that is happening. Sian of all the attitude thing. Fustrated and irritated about it!

Today, H1 was suppose to meet up to discuss about the gathering. End up, not many attended. So the final conclusion was to meet after Jermaine come back from Malaysia, which is mid Sept. I think by then everyone would be either working or already totally forgotten about this matter. So what is the point?
Tired!
