[Food] Just Like It - Ice Cream

Went to try on the new ice cream shop at RWS on Friday. The shop of the ice cream is Just Like It ! Yeah, I love the name of this shop. This is one of the outlet at Sentosa Singapore.

Just Like It ! Main entrance

This ice cream founded in Australia, where it claims 100% original with 0% Artificial, Additive, Colouring and Stabilizer. Unlike any other ice cream shop where you can request to taste the ice cream before you decided to buy, the concept is not used in this ice-cream shop. They will only make your ice cream upon your ordering. The best part is, you can just stand in front of the counter to look at the staff making your ice cream. Sound fresh and cool huh?

You can stand in front to look your ice cream being processed

And now my ice creams are ready.

Here's their new ice cream - Durian Durian (regular - 2scoops). It taste nice if you are durian lover.

Here is another flavor - Rum + Mint. I would not recommend this one as if I just taking mint ice cream, forget about the Rum. You can request to put your ice cream in the BIG bowl if you dine in. Ya, it look a bit weird with 2 small scopes of ice cream in a huge bowl.

Currently, there are 4 outlets in Singapore, includes Ion Orchard, Tampines 1, AMK Hub and RWS. Give it a try when you craving for ice cream. You can also visit their website Just Like It for more details.

[Sharing] 抽筋怎么办？

相信大家都有偿试过落枕，抽筋，脚麻吧？ 以下简单知识教你如何应付抽筋：

1.落枕
您偶尔早上起床会发现自己落枕了吗？就是脖子疼痛。
一旦落枕您该怎么办？
一旦落枕时，只要将你的脚抬起来！把大脚姆指给掰开来，慢慢的以顺时或逆时的方向按摩旋转。

2.脚麻时
若左脚麻了，用力甩你的右手掌，
若右脚麻了，则用力甩你的左手掌。

3.脚抽筋时
左脚抽筋时高高的举起右手，
右脚抽筋时高高的举起左手，马上舒缓。

4.运动时抽筋怎么办？
第一个动作就是马上休息，并将抽筋的腿部伸直（勿让膝盖弯曲），将脚板往自己身体方向下压，然后可以使用运动喷剂或药膏让腿部肌肉松弛，并用双手按摩抽筋部位。如果自己怕痛，可以请别人代劳，记得一定要按摩有疼痛感才算有效，如果旁边无人可以帮忙，则可以将双手撑住墙壁，脚跟不离地感觉小腿筋有被拉直的感觉，进行几分钟后，再放松按摩腿部肌肉。

其他如手臂抽筋时，必须将之轻轻拉直；腹部抽筋时，轻轻把腹部垫高拉直腹肌；若是大腿前面抽筋，最简单的就是采取蹲姿，或轻轻将手腕放在膝盖后方，将腿往后弯曲，使大腿前面抽筋拉直。

至于如何防范抽筋，最简单的就是在运动前的热身操及动后操中，加强“拉伸”的动作，此外，运动中补充运动饮料，在补充水分的同时，又能补充电解质，使体内钾钠平衡。

其次是适当而渐进的运动，抽筋就是身体在警告我们，目前的运动量已超过身体负担，也就是说平时的运动量不够，还要多加锻炼。

5.孕妇抽筋时如何应对？
半数以上的怀孕妇女在孕期尤其在晚上睡觉时会发生腿部抽筋。

究期原因，孕妇在孕期中体重逐渐增加，双腿负担加重，腿部的肌肉经常处于疲劳状态；另外，怀孕后，对钙的需要量明显增加。怀孕后，尤其在孕中、晚期，每天钙的需要量增为1200毫克。如果膳食中钙及维生素D含量不足或缺乏日照，会加重钙的缺乏，从而增加了肌肉及神经的兴奋性。夜间血钙水平比日间要低，故小腿抽筋常在夜间发作。

一旦抽筋发生，只要将足趾用力向头侧或用力将足跟下蹬，使踝关节过度屈曲，腓肠肌拉紧，症状便可迅速缓解。

孕妇抽筋时，肌肉是持续收缩的状态，所以必须赶快让肌肉放松，以下一些小方法应对抽筋还是比较有效的，但如果抽筋情况严重的话，就一定要请医师诊治了。

一，立刻脚着地
抽筋多发生在夜晚睡觉时，一旦发生抽筋，妈妈不妨马上下床，脚跟着地站一会儿，或平躺时脚跟抵住墙壁。

二，扳扳腿
如果是小腿抽筋，就将小腿扳向自己身体心脏位置的方向，小心地以踝部进行绕圈运动，也可减轻症状。

三，按摩、热敷
轻轻按摩抽筋的部位可减缓不适，如果抽筋太久造成局部肌肉的酸痛，也可以选择热敷或是泡热水。

四，站直使腿后部肌肉伸展
对于明显的抽筋，孕妈妈可握紧椅背作为支持，站直使腿后部肌肉伸展，髋部稍向前并弯曲，膝部伸直，均匀地深呼吸。也可以斜倚在墙上，站在地板上，双臂伸直，稍前倾，双手掌抵着墙。

＊注意事项
如果孕妈妈不是偶尔的小腿抽筋，而是经常的肌肉疼痛，或者腿部肿胀或触痛，孕妈妈就应该去医院检查。因为这可能是下肢静脉血栓的征兆，需要立即治疗。虽然孕期血栓很少见，但是孕妈妈也应谨慎防范。

[Sharing] The Wonderful of Petai

Came across this article from my inbox. A good to share around. 

Little did you know ........ after reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at petai in the same way again!

Petai contains three natural sugars -sucrose, fructose and glucose. Combined with fiber, petai gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proved that just two servings of petai provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.. No wonder petai ! is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way petai can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.


Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND among people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating petai. This is because petai contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.


PMS (premenstrual syndrome):
Forget the pills - eat petai. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.


Anaemia:
High in iron, petai can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia.


Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. ! So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the petai industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.


Brain Power :
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating petai at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Understand that bananas contain lot of potassium too so eat more banana... Just look at those monkeys, they are really active, alert, smart and cunning too!!


Constipation:
High in fiber, including petai in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.


Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a petai milkshake, sweetened with honey. The petai calms the ! stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.


Heartburn:
Petai has a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating petai for soothing relief.


Morning Sickness :
Snacking on petai between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.


Mosquito bites :
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of the petai skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation..


Nerves:
Petai is high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.


Overweight:
Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at wo! rk leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.


Ulcers:
Petai is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.


Temperature control :
Many other cultures see petai as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Holland , for example,! pregnant women eat petai to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.


Seasonal Affecti ve Disorder (SAD):
Petai can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, tryptophan.


Smoking:
Petai can also help people trying to give up smoking.. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

< B R>Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium petai snack.


Strokes:
According to research in "The New England Journal of Medi! cine" eating petai as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%".


Warts:
Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of petai and place it on the wart.. Carefully hold the petai in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, as you can see, petai really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals... It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A Petai a day keeps the doctor away".  

[Sharing] Lemon - The Benefit of it

Do you like lemon? If so, continue to like it as lemon did provide benefits to our body. If you dont like lemon, begin to like it now. Came across an article about lemon via an email from my uncle. So I'll share out the article to all of you. Enjoy reading.

This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer! Read carefully & you be the judge Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy. Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This
plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders. The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

范瑋琪 – 最重要的決定
作詞：姚若龍 作曲：陳小霞


我常在想 應該再也找不到

任何人像你對我那麼好
好到我的家人也被照料
我的朋友還為你撐腰
你還是有一堆毛病改不掉
拗起來氣得仙女都跳腳
可是人生完美的事太少
我們不能什麼都想要
你是我最重要的決定
我願意 每天在你身邊甦醒
就連吵架也很過癮 不會冷冰
因為真愛沒有輸贏 只有親密
你是我最重要的決定
我願意 打破對未知的恐懼
就算流淚也能放晴 將心比心
因為幸福沒有捷徑 只有經營
(os)我愛你
你是我最重要的決定
我願意 每天在你身邊甦醒
就連吵架也很過癮 不會冷冰
因為真愛沒有輸贏 只有親密
你是我最重要的決定
我願意 打破對未知的恐懼
就算流淚也能放晴 將心比心
因為幸福沒有捷徑 只有經營

Hope you enjoy the song and lyrics
