Flew to China - Hai Kou

I had the best ride to China on Tiger Airways to Hai Kou...First I thought we were being delayed as the air line suddenly informed us that we are suppose to change to gate 9 instead of gate 2 which we were at first assigned to....OMG the gates were really far apart =(

Anyway I was given the best seat at the window...when I looked out of the window I was thinking "oh no, next to the engine sure very noisy" and amazingly the whole flight I did not hear any noise or feel nauseous...I guess the traveler's hand wrist that I bought does help...

I slept most of the time in the plane as I did not sleep the whole day...Have been packing the whole night or rather packing till 5am...my flight was at 735am and that I have to reach the airport at around 530am but I kinda reached there only by 610am...

When we touched down I was thinking KQ's and his dad will be there to pick us up but they were late LOL...they had to take a coach for 3 hours just to get to the airport...I wanted to take pictures and to my greatest horror...sigh....I did not bring my digital camera with me!!! Guess no picture for the trip then....sigh....

Later we checked in to a hotel that KQ's dad prefers when he comes down to hai kou to do business...we were given a room that has a computer and I finally can sit down to blog about the start of the trip...but I could not do it since most of google.com was being blocked by China....LOL....

After resting for around 10 mins we went for lunch and KQ's dad got a friend to bring us out to shopping....we were being brought to the wholesale center...omg I have not walked to so many shops in one day...all the shops were closed together...we kinda like walked for 6 hours and I did not find anything I like...there were too many things to see!!!!

Saturday we will be traveling to Hong Kong via Shen Zhen...hopefully I will be able to get the kind of instant camera in HK =D

Singapore NDP 2010

This is the only year that I did not get any NDP ticket for the past 5 years. Every year after I got the tickets something will happen that I will not get to go for the day itself....

This year, being extremely healthy and I had the most excellent time watching NDP live on the 52 inch TV at home LOL...(you can smell the sourness in me) How I wish I could join the crowd at padang!

Extremely impressed by the NDP this year...1st of all it being at Padang...my bro was telling me that there's sure to be show of hardware...and without fail...yes!! The showcase to our nation's armed forces was excellent! Round of applause!

As we were watching the parading party going pass, I was paying most attention to the NDU diver in his gears....OMG! He was actually dripping water! Well done!!! Cool way to show case our divers! Rather then making them stand like idiots...they are really life size demo of what they are doing =) so cool!

The best part of NDP of cos is the "air show", even though it might be a little similar or rather the same every year...it is still the best! I found a few very wonderfully taken picture from hardwarezone.com, the photographers good man! Angle, position etc, wow! really nice! Especially the background with the merlion....you can see lots of pple trying to take a shot too...

OMG the fireworks this year is extremely interesting...throughout the celebration you can see lots and lots of fireworks...there are fireworks shot from the different buildings around...suntec, occbc etc (I just hope I could remember the buildings that the commentator said) Anyway I find it totally great that even though I was at home I could see the hard work and effort that was placed for this year's NDP!

Look at the firework pictures! They are really pretty (got them from hardwarezone.com again, go to the link you can see more fireworks there!)

Well DONE SINGAPORE and HAPPY 45th Birthday!!!

Are you drinking too much water?

I never know that taking more water can cause problem...a friend send me this but its a very old news....posted on THE NEW PAPER on 22 Nov 2007...wow...

In the paper its states that a 26 year old lady drinks 7 litres of water a day to "detoxify and reduce her blood pressure.

But she fainted after continuing the habbit for 3 months and doctors said that her condition is known as "chronic water intoxication"

The amount of water was 3 times more then the recomended daily intake.



I also thought that the more water you drink the better it is for your body! But accoring the the news report, too much water consume causes hyponatremia, a condition where there is insufficient sodium in the blood.

As a result of the extra intake of water, it has caused the lady who is not named to have swelled brain cells and in turn leading to increase of pressure in her brain.

It is said by Dr Jiang "The sodium in our blood maintains our cell metabolism rate. But once you drink too much water, the sodium ions will decrease, causing the brain cells to swell"

Drinking water is good, but we must remember too much of something is always no good....

Here's a list of timings that a friend of mine mailed to me:

Correct timing to drink water, will maximize its effectiveness on the Human body.
Two (02) glass of water - After waking up - Helps activate internal organs
One (01) glasses of water - 30 minutes before meal - Help digestion
One (01) glass of water - Before taking a bath - Helps lower blood pressure
One (01) glass of water - Before sleep - To avoid stroke or heart attack
