every step you take.

Hey guys, i received an email from my dad recently.
And I found out something shocking !
Its about Margarine D:
I dont use it with my toast or anythng *phew*
The food industry is always putting all sorts of crap in manufactured products.


Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal, so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings.

DO YOU KNOW
the difference between margarine and butter?


Read on to the end... gets very interesting!


Both have the same amount of calories.

Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at
8 grams compared to 5 grams.

Eating
margarine can increase heart diseasein women by 53%over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.

Eating
butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.

Butter
has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few
only because they are added!


Butter
tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.

Butter
has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.

And now, for Margarine....

Very high in trans-
fatty acids.

Triple risk of coronary
heart disease.

Increases total cholesterol
and LDL(this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)

Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.


Lowers quality of
breast milk.

Decreases immune response.

Decreases
insulin response.


And here's the most disturbing fact
......
HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING !!!

Margarine
is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..

This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

You can try this yourself:

Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area.Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:

* No flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should
tell you something)

* it does not rot or smell differently because it has
no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it.
Even those teeny weeny micro organisms will not find a home to grow.


Yup! Margarine is a nono! :)
Hope you found that interesting



Hmm, still feeling emo-ish.
I was cooking today and while frying some eggs.
I made a SICK discovery D:
I picked up a frigging rotten egg with a hole in it .
F*CK.
You know how people always use 'rotten eggs'
to describe how bad something smelled.
I never really smelled rotten eggs before
so i
didnt understand how bad it was.
BUT DAMN. SERIOUSLY they STINK .
P.U !
Even cleaning up the spill was hard work.
There's still a hint of stink left in the kitchen ._.


Aite aite. Time to go study :(

Toodles.

for the party.We meet up with roger , olivia and some friends at his house.
ps : ROGER, thanks so much for the lift.
We really appreaciate it.
As i was saying , we we meet up at rogers hse and carpool
in his sweet ride ! :P
Ritz Carlton is a really cosy and nice hotel i must say.
The feel was rather victorian also.
When we arrived at the ballroom , everything was so well put together
All the decorations , were wow.
Plus they had a harp player !!!
Both Catherine and Stella looked really nice in their
custom made dresses. :D
Anyways, The party was pretty aight.

We waited quite a long time for things to get started.
From 6-8 pm actually D:
So we took pictures with some peeps while waiting
Boy were we HUNGRY.

When the doors opened , thank god they cut to the chase and
food was served.
Plus they had a harp player !!!
Bloody good food i might add.
Slllluurrrp.
Awesome man.
After i ate everything i felt like i was going to burst out
of my dress :O
At the end we were supposed to wear masks and pic a flower with a number on it
Yes, they were supposed to call out the number so you'd get a partner.
And, dance. With him.
LOL.
No one really came out when their numbers were called.
So they kinda screwed it and went on RANDOM style :P
So i danced with a random guy who apparently
is a chef, then we just kept switching partners to the fun of it xD
Everything wrapped up at 12 pm + and Kelli's
parents were kind enough to give Sha, Olivia and I a ride back home.
Many Thanks , we had no other way go back to Sha's T.T

Yesterday, Lisha, Olivia and i headed to Hartamas
to check out the costume shop to see if they had anything
Victorian for Stella's birthday party,this Saturday thanks to Su's mom :)
We spent some time there , trying on outfits,
but i ended up the only one renting a dress.
The shop was pretty awesome, they had many many costume themes
like 40's , medieval , playboy :P, roman etc .

Later, we took a cab to 1u to find dresses for Olivia.
Its really hard to find a victorian dress :/
I hope you're ok Olivia :P

Friday, May 1

we are the people



A Foursome Outing
We watched 'Hes Just Not Into You'
Pretty alright :)
But not all that great.
You can check out vien's
cos im not so enthu to elaborate :)


Tee Hee.



At Wendy's for a bite .
Sha looking Stylo :P


Su and Vien


Lol :)


Its Labour day today :)
So we all get a break! Hurrah !
Hmm, i have another lesson to go till
my driving test. Im pretty uncertain about me passing tho.
Everyone keeps saying you'll HAVE to bribe the examiner.
I don't understand.
People are so corrupted man.
All they have to do is say Tak Lulus and they get rm200
even if you actually did pass by the book.
It really pisses me off.


Also i noticed, that despite all the talk and issues being brought up
on pollution and the environment,people still couldn't really give a shit.
Or maybe people are so wrapped up in work and etc.
They just forget and aren't bothered.

Even now when we know that the consequences of our actions are.
We still continue to be stubborn and ignorant.
I mean, come on we always complain how hot it is when the
aircond isnt turned on. And when we use all this energy to
make our buildings colder and make it burning hot outside what is the use!
Sometimes people say that they use their AC's on full blast to keep their rooms
cool, I just feel... sigh sad.
We're so spoiled by technology.
If we can reduce our carbon footprint and use of greenhouse gasses.
Maybe it wouldnt be so Dang hot and we wouldnt really need to
use AC's anymore ???!
It doesnt take much to do your part for the environment.
We just have to be more careful and conservative.

And, about the food we eat nowadays.
Since ive been cooking, ive also been having frequent visits to
supermarkets, and i noticed.
Everyone at cashiers always have some sort
of junk food , maggi mee and etc they have.

You really don't know how bad these things are for you.
These things are all manufactured and simply not healthy.
The colouring, the flavouring and for maggi mee, all that silicon your consuming.
I think , we all should be really careful about what we eat now,
especially when the manufacturers couldnt care less as long as
they sell the product.

The early mans diet was sustained by fruit and nuts.
We should be eating fresh foods.
Organic.
No pesticides used.
You know how people always look for the 'nice looking'
foods. Like spinach for example.
A shopper sees that there are holes in the leaves and
will think.This is not nice. Insects have fed on it.
So they veggies dont sell.
So what do the farmers do?
They have to sell the veggies don't they?
So they use lots of pesticide to kill off the insects.
When the veggies get to the marts.
Shoppers think, wow this looks fresh.
And they take it home and consume the pesticides.
So be wise!



The other day i saw a new family, both parents working.
They bought four big packages of disposable diapers, canned foods,
and preserved foods too. Ex: maggi mee
Everything they purchased was environmentally unfriendly.
Disposable and Unhealthy.
People use disposable diapers because its convinient.
You just change and throw away change and throw away.
Do you know how long it takes for those diapers to degrade?

450 years.

Plus.
It is estimated that roughly 5 million tons of untreated waste and a total of 2 billion tons of urine, feces, plastic and paper are added to landfills annually. It takes around 80,000 pounds of plastic and over 200,000 trees a year to manufacture the disposable diapers for American babies alone.
So use cloth diapers.
It may not be as convenient but you should take care more about the environment and your child anyways :/


And POLYSTYRENE is worse.
read on the environmental impact.




All this might not be new to you,but there are many people who are unaware.
And we should inform them.


Btw ive cut my hair :P
Much lighter and better since its so hot now T.T


Before


After

Hahaha. Ciao :)
