'tis another day..

woah no more exams!! yay! :)

finally! aftr one whole long stretch!!

went k-ing today. so tiring. john and i were practically nodding our heads off. hmmm strange that aftr not being in the same class as someone for almost a year, the gap btwn two grps of pple can be so vast. but oh well, the gap wasn't exactly tiny to begin with. next wk got another k-ing session, this time with the closer bunch of classmates. hopefully it'll be better than today's session. heh. plus i had a sore throat! wht bad timing. shld've had it during the exams instead of after.

ok updates.

1. gg to lulu's bd party this friday! yay!

2. need to do loads of stuff like.. PACKING MY ROOM! IT'S TIME TO GO HOME!!!

packing - argh. tedious chore. going home for the holidays (gosh i sound like some foreigner) - sounds like the best thing in the world what with the stupid freakishly hot and humid weather these few days.

WHY HAS IT BEEN SO BLOODY WARM THESE FEW DAYS??

and it looks as though it juz might continue. damn it.

3. need to d/l some songs. been living in a cave for a while. stupid exams.

4. need to enjoy my holidays or whtever's left of it before my internship starts. stupid PA. go there and be a high class waitress i bet. or admin assistant. xian. hopefully got work to do and tht i will get to talk to lulu and wan zhen during the PA or it'll be damn boring. wan zhen'll be in a diff dept so it'll be a bit harder to catch hold of her since it seems like it's nvr off-peak for taxes. so i juz hope tht they dun place lulu in a department or under a supervisor so that we're like two poles apart.

and hopefully i learn smth so i can actually write something in the stupid log book.

everyone seems to want to go for exchange. to smu. gosh. i wonder why. (haha juz kidding, naf)

but john shouldnt be going. neither will lulu nor wanzhen. whew. at least i wun be alone. i can't afford to go on an exchange prog and freeze my GPA. i need to pull them up. esp aftr tht disastrous 202 paper (my first exam paper - the one i terribly screwed up). so yeah - will be staying in ntu till i graduate next may (hopefully).

5. shit. need to re-schedule my tuitions again. it'll start again. plus i think on top of the 3 tuitions i'm handling right now, i might need to handle another one, it being a personal favour for my mum's fren's p6 daughter. ok la. p6. shouldnt be tht bad. but it's so time consuming. haiz. but can't say no to mummy, can i?

ok. gotta go eat dinner and hopefully sidereel's faster to watch at home. damn slow in hall la. then need to pack my room.

yay! will be gg out tmr!! spending the whole day out!! :)

'tis another day..

omg. i haven't been blogging for such a long time~ must be the exams. anw i'm gg to have my last paper~ on tues.

but i need to study a lot harder than wht i'm doing now. cos i totally am not paying enough attention to whatever i'm studying! i dunno if anything's gg into my head and it's freaking me out.

shit.

anw, read this:

'Oysters may excite the libido, but there is nothing like a hearty breakfast laced with sugar to boost a woman's chances of conceiving a son, according to a study released Wednesday.

Likewise, a low-energy diet that skimps on calories, minerals and nutrients is more likely to yield a female of the human species, says the study, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, Britain's de facto academy of sciences.

Fiona Mathews of the University of Exeter in Britain and colleagues wanted to find out if a woman's diet has an impact on the sex of her offspring.

So they asked 740 first-time mothers who did not know if their unborn foetuses were male or female to provide detailed records of eating habits before and after they became pregnant. The women were split into three groups according to the number calories they consumed per day around the time of conception.

Fifty-six percent of the women in the group with the highest energy intake had sons, compared to 45 percent in the least-well fed cohort.

Beside racking up a higher calorie count, the group who produced more males were also more likely to have eaten a wider range of nutrients, including potassium, calcium and vitamins C, E and B12.

The odds of an XY, or male outcome to a pregnancy also went up sharply "for women who consumed at least one bowl of breakfast cereal daily compared with those who ate less than or equal to one bowl of week," the study reported.

These surprising findings are consistent with a very gradual shift in favor of girls over the last four decades in the sex ratio of newborns, according to the researchers.

Previous research has shown -- despite the rising epidemic in obesity -- a reduction in the average energy uptake in advanced economies. The number of adults who skip breakfast has also increased substantially.

"This research may help to explain why in developed countries, where many young women choose low calorie diets, the proportion of boys is falling," Mathews said.

The study's findings, she added, could point to a "natural mechanism" for gender selection.

The link between a rich diet and male children may have an evolutionary explanation.

For most species, the number of offspring a male can father exceeds the number a female can give birth to. But only if conditions are favorable -- poor quality male specimens may fail to breed at all, whereas females reproduce more consistently.

"If a mother has plentiful resources, then it can make sense to invest in producing a son because he is likely to produce more grandchildren than would a daughter," thus contributing to the survival of the species, explains Mathews.

"However, in leaner times having a daughter is a safer bet."

While the mechanism is not yet understood, it is known from in vitro fertilisation research that higher levels of glucose, or sugar, encourage the growth and development of male embryos while inhibiting female embryos.'

Looks like guys are the one who are made out of sugar and spice and everything nice. haha
