YESH! TOMATOES! IT'S GOOD FOR REDUCING SUNBURNS, well i mean eating/munching tomatoes frequently and your sunburns wouldn't be that severe. It's shown on SAT(approx. 1pm?) "Documentary of the Week - Truth about Food", aired on Channel News Asia. And if you want to know more about what food can bring tremendous benefits to your body, this is THE documentary to watch!
I didn't know that tomatoes had such effect on your body until i watched it. Tomatoes actually tackle the free radicals(seem to be bad) that attacks our genetic information & etc in our body and tomatoes can be used to fend them off thus for some proven scientific reasons, it's able to tackle the UV rays and reduce the severity of sunburns. I thought tomatoes had only healing effects, like having good complexions? Since i'm more prone to sunburns when i'm 'over-cooked', my menu consists of TOMATOES now. To be precise, my supper(after work - 11pm, i can get real hungry) will be cherry tomatoes and only that. Cherry tomatoes can be used for snacks too. So if you people want to have a good & healthy supper/snack, give cherry tomatoes a pop.
Next up it's Spinach. Haven't you always been watching Popeye popping the spinach into his mouth and getting all strong? Well, they didn't associate spinach with STRENGTH though, BUT with improving memory. Yes, spinach can improve your memory, but insignificant enough to be considered scientifically proven. So for lao ren(elderly) like me who suffers from short term memory or even early dementia, you might want to try spinach. HOWEVER spinach would not be in my menu cause spinach is not my kind of greens. Perhaps someday?Finally, it's all about red wine. It has been proven that red wine does help reducing your chances of getting cardiovascular disease(heart disease). Red wine has been compared alongside with Vodka & Grape wine. And of course red wine has a more significant result. Don't be amazed that Vodka does help too. French people drink ALOT of red wine at the same time consume alot of meat however it's proven that they have a lesser risk of getting heart disease. So consider taking red wine in moderation, like once per day/meal? "Waiteress, give me a glass of Saltram Maker's Cabernet Sauvignon please."
Next SAT it would be "Truth about Food - Aphrodisiac" Ooooo... It's getting all HOT in here...
Speaking about French people... Does a man even give the other man a kiss on the cheek as a form of greeting? Cause the other day at BRUNCH when i'm standing host i saw this male pilot(i suppose from his uniform) doing that greeting to another male guest. So i was like, EYES BIG BIG with QUESTIONMARKS POPPING ON MY HEAD. Well this is what we call, culture shock! I'm guessing the pilot is from AirFrance since he said "Merci", which means Thank You in French. Hmmm... now i know why France is a romance country.
And yesterday(SUN) i don't know why my this FRENCH Manager, with the name of FRANCK DELEN, has been super good to us. Buying Macdonalds for the whole staff. I think he personally dropped by Marina Square's Macdonald. I was shocked when he asked me what i want from Macs, of course with his strong french accent i managed to figure out what he's trying to say. He's a good guy, seemed to me but my assistant managers think otherwise. FRI when i was standing as host, he even came up with his skateboard and said hi to me and asked me how BRUNCH is copping and whether was there a lack of manpower, cause that day was super duper full house. And of course he's in his causals, not in his suit. He's VERY TALL but quite skinny. When i talk to him, i need to tilt my head. Same goes to my colleagues and assistant managers too. Haha!
What the most heart-warming incident happened on that day was, there's this family with 2 kids and when they exited the entrance(of BRUNCH) where i was standing host at, i said "Bye Bye" & waved to them then this kid said "God Bless You!" and without hesistant i said the same to the kid too! I just felt very delighted and my heart really felt very good when he said it to me and i returned it back to him. It's just feels that you will go "Awww..." at the sight of it... Haha, i'm thinking too much. But it's really something different when an adult said it to you as compared to a kid. The parents even smiled at me upon the kid saying that. It goes to show how well has the kid been brought up.
And today i saw this blog post, http://sometimesifart.blogspot.com/2008/01/my-last-post-as-nsf.html , from KIM's personal message. I clicked it. My heart went all out for him. When you read this post, you'd understand why. Now i'm having the jitters about NS...
Just now i had a chat with my MEL(WEN MIN), and this is the starting of the conversation...
ME: "Oh? you're losing your voice?"
ME: "HOW COOL IS THAT?!(being sarcastic)"
ME: "You're getting all husky voice and pubes growing thicker..."
ME: "Haha!"
HER: "Huh? what is pubes?"
(after awhile)HER: "WHAT NONSENSE!"
HER: "YOU'RE CRAPPY."
ME: " Isn't it great to have a crappy and nonsensical friend? Haha"
...(privacy)
what a sick mind & gross mind i have... Haha!
