different days of a b-man: sharing of knowledge :)

I learnt something interesting today. This door-to-door sales lady was selling her herbal products and she shared with me a method to obtain vitamins and minerals through natural means, instead of getting them through supplements.

She said that the fresh milk that are sold in supermarkets, has something taken out of it after it is obtained from cows. That particular thing is being taken out to create butter, ghee and other dairy products. The fresh milk that are sold in supermarkets, has preservatives and other stuff added to it. So, to remove the preservatives and additives, boil a glass worth of milk until it bubbles along the side in the saucepan. This is an indication of the preservatives being "destroyed". Then, add a teaspoon of ghee, flat, to it and mix it with the milk, and cook it till it boils. Then you can put in a bit of honey and drink it. As ghee is being used, it is not recommended to eat or drink other stuff 3 hours before or after, otherwise, you have to prepare to gain that extra weight :s

Oh yaa.. another thing that she share with me, is that our liver will not be functioning well if we take too much things from the three categories, cold, cooling and acidic. Tea and seafood are part of them :s

ohh! one last thing, actualy, bread isn't a good thing to eat often. She said, yeast actually causes the "heart or blood to harden".. I forgot whether which she was talking about... :p

I went to this clinic last friday. My friend said that the doctor is quite good in helping people with muscular injuries. I was very blur when i went in because didn't know what the process will be like. I guess, on hindsight, I was like, talking to a friend. He shared with me his knowledge on my injury and what i could do to improve the situation, while slowly finding out the possible causes of it, by feeling parts of my legs. He even did a deep tissue massage for my quads which really helped to loosen up some of the tension.

I spent $110 on the consultation but it is useful. I didn't know that muscles that are too tensed up may affect the joints that are connected to it, and that muscles that are weak, will sort of cause the other muscles around it to work more, to compensate for that.. and this is not really good. Apart from the usual doctor's prescription, he also typed out a recovery plan for me.. haha.. It consists of three types of stretches that I have to do everyday. Found it quite interesting and amusing.. haha..

and before i forgot, I ate at this Punggol Nasi Lemak shop opposite the clinic. It was ex. pen. sive. :s think it cost ard 60% more than usual nasi lemak. But the dishes were tasty laa.. Was a bit sian because I was alone in that area and there were no one to explore the food shops over there..

Interesting photos for the past weeks..

Visited this restaurant at Punggol because I wanted to visit Punggol waterfront. These dishes each cost $5 only!!

After dinner, we walked and walked.. and walked.. We found ourselves in Pasir Ris after walking a long and lonely tar road for 1 hr plus :s ...... Need to do research on the directions next time!!

Next incident, I waited for a seat at Starbucks for around 30 minutes just because I want to use the powerpoint next to it.. haha... The couple occupying the seats were eating ba gua only, they didn't even buy any drinks from starbucks. They wouldn't have moved away if I didn't approach the the husband.. I was so impressed with my bravery! :) haha...
