Banana - Laxative or Costive?

Date : Friday, November 30, 2007
Time : 8:44 AM

Its gonna be a nice day watsoever.

I got a red apple from vyvy early in the mornig and then the cute lil' boxes made by Carmen's daughter. Oh my, i m such a blissful damsel wif u gals ard =D

Well.. this is totally unrelated, but somehow gotta share my ponder here.
Vyvy is having her first constipation in her life.. ever since she took the banana(s) from the mkt last thursday. So... we were just jokingly pointed out aint bananas help the body to detox, Suely overheard our conversation and gave us an astonishing look.

"Oh no gals.. you all should not eat banana. Banana is bad.. Banana makes you to tighten not to let go!!"

Oops.. in my whole life i thot banana is the best natural laxative other than papaya??!!
I decided to do a survey among the brazilians and to my surprise the result is doubtfully assertive. So now i m totally confused , does banana act as a laxative or a costive?

Museums Alive!!

Date : Thursday, May 17, 2007
Time : 4:49 PM

For travellers who come to visit Singapore, do you know that besides being a shopping paradise, this little island actually has some unique heritage stories to share with you?

For local citizens who stay and live in this small yet intricate country, are you aware that there are actually more places than the zoo and birdpark to kill your weekend?

Here is a great chance for everybody to know Singapore more from a different perspective -International Museum Day 2007 (IMD'07)!

IMD'07 starts from this coming Friday, 18 May 2007. IMD'07 promises more than 80 activities and events spread over 24 museums over 10 days. Unlike other commercial events, most of the activities are FREE or at very low cost. The idea is to make heritage and culture more accessible to everybody, especially the heartlanders and the masses.

There will be lots of fun things to see and do at IMD'07. You can hop on free museum bus tours, wiggle to exotic middle eastern dances, form a group to participate in the Heritage C-Race, dine with your favourite toys plus of course the ever popular MIA Night Tour. Those who are into art collecting and trading can find out all about the art markets in Singapore and Southeast Asia. There is something for foodies too, with the Eastern Surprise Food Trail which combines culture with cuisine! Who said heritage and culture is boring and unapproachable?? It shall nvr be the same if you join in the fun this coming Friday!!

Bring your families and friends along, make it more meaningful as a special gathering! More details are in the official IMD'07 website here.

Want to know more? You can also check out Yesterday.SG for more information.

Perfect Pair

Date : Tuesday, May 15, 2007
Time : 7:23 AM

I hv been looking for a substitute jeans as te current pair of mine is getting too rugged and baggy. Jean shopping is a nitemare. Esp for an in-between-size like me. (LOL. Lionsault, betcha gonna say i m always the one being sandwiched again) In case u r wondering, i'm in between sizes 6 and 8(UK), sizes 25-26(Asian) and sizes 4 and 6(US). I thot this nitemare might juz end in Brazil, but reality is always cruel, i 'm again stucked in between sizes 34 and 36(Brazil). You can probably imagine my frustration when trying on two pairs of jeans during a fitting session, wondering whether to get the tight-as-skin pair or the more comfortable but slightly baggy pair. My legs are to blame, definitely, because they never increase in length, despite my hips hinting desperately for them to grow more proportionately in alignment with the hips expanding in girth.

The search for the perfect pair of jean started since the past ten years or so, when i started to realize how essential it is for one to get the perfect flattering pair. At some point of time, i thot i found the almost perfect pair, only almost. Soon i will pick on the colour, the cutting and after a while i will just settle with it while continue searchign for THE perfect pair again. Also, old jeans are dangerous, u get addicted wif the comfyness, without realizing it can seriously ruin ur finest outfit.

Searching the perfect pair is an art. An art which u could only master after many years of experience.. Searching the perfect pair is a journey which one need to go thru.. A journey which be smooth and effortless for some; yet bitter and wearying for the others. The irony, hunting for the perfect pair is somehow similar to searching the perfect soulmate of life.

You walk into a shop which seems pleasant 'nuff to make you feel comfortable, start looking for the perfect jeans for you. You select many different styles, even if you think they may not be flattering, and bring them into the dressing room at the same time so that you can compare them. You put them on in the buff, walking ard, looking into the mirror, building the connection with 'em possible candidates.

Sometime u find the exact colour, but not in the right cutting; sometime the cutting seems well-suited but the prices are too steep. And finally when u find the perfect jeans with the correct colors, perfect cuts and incredibly affordable price tags, there juz dun hv the right size for you. So you are left with no choice but to move on.. move on to the next shop.. continue the steps and have your finger crossed that you are that near to THAT perfect pair made in heaven, that perfect pair which makes ur butts looks perkier, ur legs seems slimmer n longer... I always believe there is bound to be a jaw-dropping jeans for every figure. Just like everybody will eventually find the missing puzzle in their life.. u meet someone whom u hv a hitch wif, u brave urself and try on to see if there is any possibility to develop a stable relationship, there are times u thot u found the prince riding on the white horse, but you soon realize being a princess might not be the life that u r looking for. So u continue searching till u find the frog prince who might not be appealing at first sight but you two juz hit it off immediately.. Love comes in assorted forms, assorted genders but thats another story.

I m still pussyfooting ard for the perfect pair: one versatile low-rider which is suitable for dressing up and down, will not ditch me when i grow out of shape, provide me the perfect hugging-effect as always. If u had find urs, i must say u r a lucky one!! If u hvn, may i juz say: dun give up & god speed in ur hunt!

Titan & I

Date : Monday, April 23, 2007
Time : 7:12 AM

Just realized i m a good multi-tasker. Or betta to say, my 'nose' is the one excel at it! How can a nose do sneezing, blocking.. and running.. at the same time???!!!!! My voice sounds so nasal and i think i frightened the neighbour's kids this morning. =P

Today is public holiday in Rio. No need to work on monday hence no Monday blue for me. Went out for an early morning jog along the beach.. that was cool.. with the 6am breeze blowing against ur face and skin. Exercise does help, doesnt't it?? But still holiday sucks when u r down with all the flu symptons. (>_<)

I think i m becoming overtly-attached to Titan, isnt a very good sign huh.. The thing that I touch and breathe and smell most on a daily basis - alright, no smell maybe - is this IBM company provided thinkpad which i brot to Rio. I still got my own Fujitsu-Lucia lying @ home back in SG. I m suffering' from that tied-to-the-apron-strings syndrome with my lappie. Arrg.. beyond hopes! And no.. i m not gonna get rid of it till i finish this entry. =P

Haha.. now u guys know how boring i m when there isnt trip planned for a long weekend like this.

Hoppy Easter

Date : Thursday, April 05, 2007
Time : 4:06 PM

Finally touched down. Keke.. guess wat!! i got upgraded to business class during the Paris-Rio sector.

Hohoho.... its definitely heaven n hell! Feeling good even after twelve hr flight - thanks to the genius who invented the lie-flat seat.

Saw this Lindt Gold Bunny at the Airport Duty Free Shop.

Bought two for the neighbour kids and one for myself... Its Easter coming again!

My apartment was full of dust after a month vacant. Spend half an hr cleaning and tidying up before going to Sendas (supermarket downstair) for groceries shopping with Jimmy. Sendas was full of people doing last minute shopping for the holidays. Its fun n smile-inducing looking @ those beautiful packed easter eggs hanging on the overhead racks.

There are so many of them: big and small, modern and traditional -- I felt like a kid once again- hopping in joy and amazement.

Mmm... Life in Brazil is starting again. This time rd, the song of life sings at the right cue and it feels right too =) Wish me gd luck!

Box Wine??

Date : Wednesday, April 04, 2007
Time : 12:21 PM

French man are too addicted to wine and hence came out with these carry-wherever-u-can tetra-box wine?? Saw this box-package Merlot and Chardonnay in my hotel room barfridge. Wow.. now wine-sucker can enjoy their sip more than they can imagine: picnicking, backpacking, skiing, fishing, even the airline might consider this. Got rather curious and decided to checkout its website on the internet.

Apparently this is more than convenient packing and marketing strategy. Claimed to be the state-of-art design, it is highly eco-friendly. French Rabbit -packaged French Wine was launched end of 2005. These are wine from the Languedoc region of France, produced by Boisset family, one of the larger wine export and distribution companies in France. Boisset got its start from rather humble beginnings as a negociant in Burgundy in the early 1960s, and in the three decades since has become a powerful force in the French wine industry. Instead of using the traditional glass bottles, they've developed their own version of a drink box to sell their wine in, and the results are pretty interesting. The box weighs just about four percent of an ordinary glass wine bottle, meaning it would take 25 trucks filled with bottles to equal one truck filled with empty Rabbits. The package itself is made from polyethelene, aluminum foil and paperboard, so it's 100% recyclable, and its collapsible, which reduces waste volume by about 90 percent. The twist-on cap makes using cork a thing of the past. French Rabbit together with American Forest have came out with this 'Plant A Tree' project. For every four French rabbits sold, one tree will be planted by American Forests.

While it may seem strange to drink wine from what amounts to an oversized juice box (I myself din try it), but reviews have been rather positive since its launch. Interesting, isnt it? Available in Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Family Reserve White and Red, you can now purchase online.
