{ why insufficient slp is really that bad... }
"Sweet Dreams, Light Scales"
There are a million reasons for not getting your full eight hours of sleep, but there are also some really important reasons why hitting the hay may be the best thing you do all day. Along with its well-known benefits for your skin, stress levels and immune system, sleep can also have an effect on your weight:
According to studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, among others, people who don't get enough shut-eye have been found to have a harder time losing extra weight and maintaining their current weight.
One reason is that sleep loss messes with a hormone called cortisol, and that can lead to an increased appetite.
Plus, poor sleep can negatively affect your metabolism and raise levels of glucose and insulin in the blood; the latter will signal your body to store fat instead of using it.
So the next time you're setting the alarm, remember that getting a full eight hours might just help you say no to afternoon temptations.

{ what happened to me? }
The sole depending factor for My Happiness is ... - " How I choose to Arrange my Mind to See & Perceive Life "
Been job hunting these few days, so I see Eve and Shu everyday for 3 days in a row ahha...
The quote above is from an email. Yeah, tats what I really need. It's so warped up thr. Whatever happened to those "Don't think too much"... "Attain happiness for myself from myself"... "Think simple"... "It's mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter"...
Ah... I need my dose of quotes again! Inspirational ones I mean...
We're like walking around everyday, good exercise but we waste so much money. Argh! I'm kinda back into consumerism again. What the yell... Alleluyah ahha...
Dancing dancin danci danc dan da d...
Yeah, gonna watch the Gingerbread Man Show with my ma and the kids from her childcare centre on Fri. So looking forward to it... Ever since the hols and after my 4 days of relief teaching at the childcare centre my ma works at, I haven't talked to my ma much since I go out everyday and come home so late at night.
Well, that's not entirely bad. Cos I really lurve to be at home now. However, sometimes I need to warm up when I meet even good old frens. I'd feel like "i wanna go home now"... and that's bad. That's just my crankiness. My mood just takes over me. Ta da. I'm wondering what I can actually do if I really do stay at home everyday.
I need to start on my prom dress right now. Ha, but I won't. *_^

{ Slow Dance }
I know many out there may have received this email, but I'd just like to remind everyone who reads this as well as myself... m_m
Slow Dance
This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.
It was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

{ Oh my goodiness... hectic, tired. }
Oh my goodiness... It's been so hectic these days after my As and I just don't have the time and energy to blog. Alright, I make myself sound so happening, but really it's just "almost everyday"...
My As ended on Thu 16/9/06. I was in a daze cos of all that cramming of Human Geog and Econs the day before and I just wanted to follow what other ppl did. I watched "Step Up"(awesome, fantastic, makes everyone wanna learn dancing) with Hailin, Yeek and Miao after a super hearty meal. Yum!
I had the urge to dance after the show so I became a cheapskate(i do that sometimes) and went for a free dance lesson at the cc I used to learn dance at. It's jazz ahha... I left halfway cos I had to send my cousin, Ribena back home to msia at the bus place.
My Pa received a sudden night-time job at Mount Alverine Hospital and I really wanted to see how it was as well as accompany my Pa cos he's almost working alone. I realized how hard it was to feed the whole family and was so damn tired that I fell asleep in a patient's chair in that place where there really wasn't anybody except the designer, my Pa and I.
On Fri,(17/11/06) I was supposed to meet Xiaoxia and Eve to swim but I just couldn't wake up. In the end, my body clock was reversed and I woke up in the night since I slept til really late in the afternoon. Enough! I gotta stop churning everything out like this.
On Sat,(18/11/06), it was totally random as I met up with Xiaoxia cos both of us were pretty bored. Tell no one pls but we cycled at night to JSS without our parents knowing and our butts really hurt like yell cos we were on it for about 1 n a half hours. Argh! I really had fun! Thanks Xiaoxia! :)
Main points:
Sun(19/11/06) Dance at Xenbar for 3 hours ahha. Jazz prac, then Ballet, then Jazz again. Cos there's a performance coming up hah yeah. Although it's a salsa festival, we're doing a lil' short jazz performance ahha. Great experience again! Wonder what they'll make me wear though... Argh! I'm a prude!
Mon(20/11/06) Dance in JJ cos finally almost all the seniors are free from the shackles of exams and can join the juniors in practising for the Grad Night dance. Goodness me! It was so tiring and hot and stuffy and sticky. Yucks...
Tue(21/11/06) to Fri(24/11/06)
I was a relief teacher again at the childcare centre my Ma works at. There's lots of politics going on but I get to eat. The food was not that nice for the first 3 days cos the cook was on leave. Yeah, it was great today cos she returneD! Had loads of jellies too aha.
It's really hectic and tired being a teacher for a few days in a row, especially since they're so young and they're not scared of me. Seriously, I kept asking some of them if they're scared of the other teachers... Some of them said "yes" about certain teachers but when I asked, "Are you scared of Teacher Kyla", they go, "no".
I had to cast my usual, demure self aside and tried hard to be as ferocious as a lion should be. I talked in a loud and commanding tone, stared them in the eyes... Maybe staring wasn't that effective since some of them have got big, dish-like eyes and they look so innocent and stubborn. Sucks sometimes, when they don't acknowledge you or just ignores you totally.
I had my fun and sweet moments too haha. When they say "I like you"... When they hug me at my thighs and bottom... When I hug them... When they say "Byebye Teacher Kyla"... When they open their mouth wide and eat well when I feed them... When they giggle and laugh or smile when I smile at them...
Ah... It feels fuzzy now aha...
Ah ha... On Wed(22/11/06) and Fri(24/11/06), danced with Tat's so-called "dance crew". I've always wanted that experience and I finally got it. With the fact that we didn't really know what we were doing half the time aha... I was tired but I sweated it out and I feel satisfied that I dance so often now.
The only thing is they are too hip-hop but my style is more jazz and maybe, new sch hiphop... Argh... Hope everything gets better in the future! Yeah! To dancing! To life!
I need a job... One that'll make me crave for more ahha... FAt hope, but I'll try!
P.S. Soz CT/Venis that I took so long ahha... I told you I'll write sth but I really took a pretty long time to get almost everything out!m_m

{ lurvely kids! I'm a mini-teacher! haha... }
I can say I'm blogging for the sake of blogging now. Just felt like I should update haha...
Mon & Tue were spent at the childcare centre Ma works at. Her supervisor asked her to ask if I'd like to be a relief teacher for two days since one of the teachers was on leave. It must be my brilliant performance on all the previous occasions I went there to help out with the concert and stuff ha.
Argh! Lurvely kids though the younger ones forget about you easily. I mean if you only spend a short while with them, like say a day or two? Only the older ones(5 and 6 yr olds) remember you aha... I took quite a couple of pics. *Yeah yippee* They are so cute mah. It altered my perception of kids these days too! Wahha... m_m
Maybe Maybe, there was a tiny "pinch" of regret. I was so tired after Mon and Tue that I didn't study for physical Geog at all. Looking at one word is enough to send my teeny eyes snappiing away. I only woke at 7am to study on Wed, right before the exam that starts at 2pm. Fortunately, other ppl also felt it was difficult so I just hope I can scrape through this.
I wonder if I really want to go to the University. Most probably, I'm just scared of what I'll have to choose for my future if I don't make it to the uni. I'll have to take full responsibility for my actions before making sure of what my directions for the future are, ya know?
Sometimes I hate it when I don't go online for a few days in a row. The day that I eventually go online will be filled with wasting time in front of the computer. It's like there's always so much to do, like I just went surfing on Friendster and had some amusing laughs ahha... There are so many scandalous and contentious ppl out there. It's amazing.
and GOODY LUCK FOR ALL! We really need luck! for the exams of cuz and whatever we do in life. If it's meant to be, it'll come.
Some o the pics:
Me and Kelvin. He said "i don't like you" when I patted him to get him 2
sleep during their aftnoon nap. I was really hurt. But in the end, aft some
provoking, he changed his mind and said
"I want to play with you".
"So do you like me?" "Yes."
You can say I'm unscrupulous or what... I'm fine with it. But, when I bidded
gdbye to all the kids just b4 I left, he ignored me again. Their teacher told me
these kids get jealous and bcum real naughty when their mummy is pregnant.
True to what she said, Kelvin's mama gave birth that very day.
2 random shots of the kids. In the 1st pic, except for 2 2-yr-olds, the rest
are 3-yr-olds. In the 2nd pic, a few of them are 4 yr olds,(nursery class)
students of my Ma's who just come in to mingle and cuddle the little ones
haha. The one in the dress at the back of the blue table in the second pic
is a 4 yr old, Chu Ting. The indian gurl with soft curls on the floor in the
middle of the pic is Dawn.
Sucker blogger again! Though I depend on blogger and am lazy to try out other blog sites ahha... I can't upload other pics again and I've been online for a shitty 5 hours, gonna be 6 soon! gonna get back to studying again! Argh! I'm so scared of being in cold sweat hours before the exams next week again haa...
And project Superstar ytd night and tonight is funny la! hhaah... those auditions! I lurve them, though I know it's mean to laugh at ppl for those causes. Well entertainment works this way, the sad fact.
