Dieting makes me mad.

Why?  Because junk food in moderation still means you are eating junk.  Just less of it. 

While it’s true that we have a problem with a lack of healthy food in our hawker centres, that doesn’t explain why most of the people that you and I know are still buying and eating these high oil content & low nutritional food as meals everyday. 

But what to do they are everywhere right? And we’ve lost the art of cooking- only grandparents can cook now. Even my parents R lousy cooks!

The way to health is to drink water, eat good quality food daily and exercise. We should start by learning how to cook simple healthy meals for ourselves. Go for a cooking class perhaps. My friend's mum cook pasta everyday for her ( she confessed ,because it’s easy & she’s a lousy cook). Now my friends is having a weight problem !!!!

Were you ever a victim of CyberBully?

Several characteristics distinguish cyberbullying from other forms of bullying, such as:

•Students who are victimized have no place to hide, and can be targeted anytime and anyplace.

•Cyberbullying can involve a very wide audience (e.g., through the circulation of video clips on the internet), although the bully may not be aware of the audience’s reactions.

•Students who cyberbully others are relatively protected by the anonymity of electronic forms of contact, which can safeguard them from punishment or retaliation.

•As with some indirect traditional bullying, students who cyberbully do not usually see the response of the victim, changing the satisfactions or inhibitions normally generated by bullying.

Forms of Cyberbullying

Much research has focused on one or two forms of mobile or internet bullying. There are seven forms of cyberbullying: mobile phone calls, text messages, picture/video clips, email, instant messaging, chat-rooms and websites. Of these, phone calls, texts and instant messages were the most commonly reported.

Impact of Cyberbullying

Victims of cyberbullying most commonly report feelings of frustration, anger and sadness  also report that victims feeling worried, threatened and distressed. Although most forms of cyberbullying were rated as having a similar impact, picture video clips were perceived to cause much greater harm than traditional bullying.

Coping Strategies

A common theme in research on bullying has illustrated how victimized children often show a reluctance to seek help. Cyberbullying appears to show a similar trend. Currently, it is not yet clear whether the recommended strategies are actually effective in either ending cyber bullying or effectively coping with its impact.

What Can Parents and Educators Do About Cyberbullying?

Anti-bullying interventions, classroom materials and school policies need to address cyberbullying by making staff and pupils aware of the problem, and provide help for those who experience it. Parents and staff may be unaware of the full range of technologies used by their children. Efforts are needed to enhance their knowledge, of the dangers as well as benefits associated with such technologies. Such awareness and guidance should include information on relevant legal issues and on ways of contacting mobile phone companies and internet service providers. New technologies are already being used in some schools to report both bullying and cyber-bullying behaviour. In this way, the anonymity that is afforded to the bully can be used more constructively to provide both help and support for victims of cyberbullying. In addition, advisory and support materials need to be circulated widely among schools and communities, as cyberbullying can take place anywhere and anytime.

Hike in public transport: I finally have the perfect excuse to get my own car !

It was just announced that there'll be a hike in public transport coming April across board !

I finally have the perfect excuse to get my own car. I'm sharing one with my brother now & have to take public transport once a while. My father give up, he says he get me one asap or at least before April...yay.....

Sweet isn't ???

Ok.... before you go ....what..... where's the logic ..... only going up 5cents at most & you need to buy a car???? How spoilt can you get????

It's not me, it's my parents. They both have a car & then they like to change cars every year especially before CNY. So this year when mum gets her new car, I'll adopt her mini cooper & turn it into something like this:



A wikipedia for current affairs?

Do you know anyone who design websites? Yes the nerdy kind. Well lately I met one & made the mistake of staying too long in a conversation with him. Now Nerdy thought I am his best buds!

He kept telling me his big plans, a big project that will completely revolutionized how we consume news- I was like- huh??? people still read news?? LOL. Pete & Josh were 'encouraging' him !

According to him, currently all news is top down. Some fascist corporation decides what's the most impt story, sends someone to report it, who then serves up all the Murdoch lies to the trusting public. Imagine challenging that! The internet allows it. Imagine millions of readers writing up whatever they might have just witness around the world, uploading their pictures & video footage & text. Millions more are searching clicking on to stories that interest them & hey bingo! The story with the most hits becomes the main item of news on the world's most democratic & unbiased news outlet .

I was thinking ...wow... hardly original right? think youtube. Plus how do you know the news is true & not made-up. He was surprise at that & said well 'if its made up, other people outside will comment & the story will quickly lose credibility . Or they can re-edit it themselves- its like Wikipedia. but for current affairs.'
Hmmm.....

Bunny Nails anyone ?

Brand new year ! Someone sent me this super cute ya????

Youth Problems ??? But I need my Iphone 6 anyways ...lol...

The usual complain about the youth of today seems to fall into 2 main groups- or at least the "adults" around us have us believe.

Growing up too fast

There was a time when kids enjoyed being kids. Today, even at the earliest of ages, children are partaking in adult activities with serious consequences. Similar to what we see with alcohol and drugs, sex is a very popular and portrayed subject matter. The movies, TV, the internet, essentially everywhere a kid turns he or she is bombarded with sexual suggestions.

In Amercia , there are entire TV series marketed directly to kids dealing with sex – e.g. The Secret Lives of an American Teenager and Teen Mom, to name two. Music is a culprit as well. Songs have always had sexual innuendos, but at least “back in the day” you had to be old enough to understand them. Today, it’s all about “How low can you go” and “baby let me sex you up.” Kids are having sex as early as 10 and 11, with teen pregnancies increasingly on the rise. The concept of childhood is literally being wiped out. Here in the east, our numbers could be lower but we are getting there!

Materialism

We live in a society that promotes materialism and so we perpetuate this particular malady by instilling bad habits into our children. We teach our children that the measure of success and happiness in life is how much stuff you have. Kids naturally want things –especially if their friends have something similar. Unfortunately, there seems to be little restraint on accompanying guidance as we go about this.

Essentially, we provide our kids with whatever they want that is within our financial ability to do so. The concept of “earning” what you get or the idea that something “you don’t need” seem to have been lost and discarded. In Amercia , the average adult is $15,000 in debt at any given time. Thank God, we are still not there yet, but we do have a mentality of getting what we want and when we want it that has been ingrained in us since childhood. The unfortunate result is that there are devastating consequences for such continued behavior later in life.

So are these really problems? The answer is YES to at least materialism. Christmas is round the corner, though I've not make any money yet, I'm looking forward to upgrading my IPhone 5G to 6 !!! It's like what's the problem here....haha... You might think it's a lot of money, but my dad thinks that I should have the latest gadget. Anyway I have an aunt who's still single & she is my Santa Claus :)). She's getting me the prized phone.
