Every Little Thing...

--- by Sarah Connor

[Verse 1:]
Whenever you go away from me
Go out with your friends I see that there's something in your eyes
And it looks just like a lie
Didn't I give you what you want?
Didn't I give it all to you?
Why is everything you do a little bit untrue?

[Bridge:]
And everytime
You act wrong
I go away from you just a little more

[Chorus:]
Every little thing I take from you
Every little thing you say or do
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
It's there you know it's true
Every little thing I feel inside
I don't wanna talk about my own pride
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
And you should know it's true

[Verse 2:]
You can do just what you like
As long as you know deep inside
That I'm the only one for you
Don't you act just like you do
Didn't I make you feel so good?
Didn't I treat you like I should?
So why is everything I know that the way you act's not true?

[Bridge]

[Chorus 3X]


* MooMoo had been sick a lot lately... at the wrong times... so depressing... Before one thing ends, another thing pops up... it's like never ending stories... how much more...

No 'HAPPY' Hormones this Weekend... = (

It's gonna be a 'working weekend' for MooMoo this week. No 'HAPPY' hormones for MooMoo... can't go GYM... so = ((

MooMoo was so HaPPy waiting to go for her 'Strength Training' session today but due to last minute unforeseen circumstances, she had to stay back to work late on a Friday night and go back to work on Saturday. Luckily, they are kind enough to let MooMoo have her Sunday. The others help take the shift on Sunday. If not, MooMoo will be totally miserable.

MooMoo had reserved her Sunday exclusively for Chicky Pie's daddy to celebrate his very special 'BARNEY-FUL' Birthday with a full day programme. It's gonna be a movie marathon day with great feasting. ^=^


* MooMoo must make it up next week... to generate more 'HAPPY' hormones...

SKYSCRAPER

--- by Demi Lovato

Skies are crying
I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending, like we never had a chance
Do you have to, make me feel like there is nothing left of me?

[Chorus]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

As the smoke clears
I awaken, and untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet

[Chorus]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

[Bridge]
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run, run, run
Yeah it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like i'm made of glass
Like i'm made of paper, Ohhh woaah
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

Breezy Night Run... ^=^

MooMoo had a good night run after work today. It was kinda full moon today coz tomorrow is the 'fifteenth' in the Chinese calendar. The weather was great... with the cooling breeze. Piggy was suppose to join in the run but escaped and run around at the playground with 'Chicky Pie' instead.

Distance : 7km
Time : 44 mins 39secs

Something Different...

Today, MooMoo tried doing something different... eating the food that she don't normally eat during Lunch time. She went to eat 'Vegetarian' Beehoon at this stall that everyone said it's nice and recommended. This is definitely something that Ms. Mo would love to eat. LOL! ^=^

Well, the food does not taste that bad after all but it's just not MooMoo's taste. She tried to understand why people like it so much and she just does not appreciate it. Well, definitely she understood that people are just different in all ways... even in eating habits. Guess if MooMoo started eating like this all these while, she would have gotten used to it. It's just a matter of habit and preferences. If not, she just gotta take a longer time to get used to it, if she really had to. She really understand how her brother felt when he have to give up certain favourite foods/drinks intake.

After eating her lunch, she just didn't like the after taste... bought herself a cup of 'happy drink' = 'teh-c-peng' and wash off all the taste. Once awhile is OK, think it would definitely kill MooMoo to eat like this everyday.


* Some nice 'Different' quotes that MooMoo likes...

"Life and Death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides." --- Lao Tzu

"Words differently arranged have a different meaning, and meanings differently arranged have different effects." --- Blaise Pascal

What do you got?

--- by Bon Jovi

Everybody wants something, just a little more
We're makin a living, and what we're livin for
A rich man or a poor man, a pawn or a king
You can live on the street, you can rule the whole world
But you don't mean one damn thing

[Chorus:]
What do you got, if you ain't got love
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You're walkin' the road, but you're goin' nowhere
You're tryin' to find your way home, but there's no one there
Who do you hold, in the dark of night
You wanna give up, but it's worth the fight
You have all the things, that you've been dreamin' of

If you ain't got someone, you're afraid to lose
Everybody needs just one, someone... to tell them the truth
Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I still believe
I believe in hope, I believe the change can get us off our knees

[Chorus]

If you ain't got love, it's all just keeping score
If you ain't got love, what the hell we doing it for

I don't wanna have to talk about it
How many songs you gotta sing about it
How long you gonna live without it
Why does someone somewhere have to doubt it
Someday you'll figure it out

[Solo]

[Chorus x2]

If you ain't got love, it's all just keeping score
If you ain't got love, what the hell we doin' it for
Woahhh, I ain't got, if you ain't got
What do you got if you ain't got love
What do you got if you ain't got love


* Time always passes so very quickly when you are taking a BREAK... it feels good... Hope to keep the good feelings going... Dark clouds to stay far...far... shoo!! shoo!! haha...

What is 'PERIOD PAIN'?

What is 'Period Pain'?

This is definitely something annoying that most women experience monthly if their menses are regular. There are some lucky ones out there who never experience it their whole lives. Unfortunately, MooMoo falls under the 'unlucky' category. Period Pains or Menstrual Cramps or more known as 'Dysmenorrhoea' in medical term, which is pronounced as 'Dis-men-or-ear'. The term comes from an ancient Greek expression meaning 'difficult monthly flow'.

There are 2 types of period pain:
(1) Primary Dysmenorrhoea: affecting teenagers/young women not long after they start their periods. The pain and other symptoms is consistently similar monthly. This type of pain usually disappear when you leave your teenage years or after giving birth.

(2) Secondary Dysmenorrhoea: affecting women in their mid-twenties or later and it can happen any time of the month and it could be a sign of another medical condition. The pain can varies and it is recommended to go check with your Gynae. This type of pain usually is due to common gynaecological conditions, such as Fibroids, Endometriosis and Ovarian Cysts.

The pain can range from mild to severe, depending of each individuals. It is usually felt at the lower abdominal. Sometimes, it can be so serious that it could affect a woman's regular activities for several days.

The pain felt is actually caused by the contractions of the uterus or womb, similar to those of another 'normal' pain women suffer during labor.

The endometrium (lining of the womb's wall) actually thickens during a woman's menstrual cycle, in order to prepare for potential pregnancy. After ovulation, if the ovum is not fertilized and there's no pregnancy, the built-up uterine tissue will need to be shedded. This hormone called 'Prostaglandins' are released and will caused the uterus to contract.

When the uterine muscles contract, they blocked the blood supply to the tissue of the endometrium, which will eventually cause it to breakdown and dies. The uterine contractions will continue will all the dead tissues are squeezed out of the body through the cervix and vagina. These actually caused the cramps and pains experienced during the Menstrual cycle.

What can be done to reduce or eliminate the PAIN?!?

(1) Exercise - It does help to reduce the pain and discomfort. Stretches and certain Yoga positions does help to relief the pain. --- MooMoo have less pain when she's more active...

(2) Sleeping - Natural ways to rest your body to ease the pain and it feels extremely good at certain sleeping positions. --- this works very well for MooMoo - Thumbs Up!!!

(3) Supplements - Vitamin E, Thiamine and Omega-3 may reduce cramps. Zinc and Calcium have been found to reduce cramps, bloating and related PMS symptoms. Calcium and Magnesium reduced muscle soreness, but must be taken 2-3 months every day before producing a noticeable effect. --- will try to intake more supplements... but the Primrose never really seem to work for MooMoo... or maybe she always forgot to eat them on time... hahah..

(4) Water - drink lots of warm water or hot drinks to keep your tummy warm and cozy. --- Haha... this coming from MooMoo who loves to drink cold water day and night... when you see MooMoo drinking hot water, she must be having her period. =p

(5) Pain Reliever - taken them only when you really cannot stand the pain. --- try not to take.

(6) Hormonal Birth Control Pills - prevent ovulation and reduce severity of menstrual cramps. --- Not very recommended for long term solutions.

(7) Hot Water Bottle or Pad - put on your lower abdominal to reduce the pain. --- never use but it works well for MooMoo's friend.

(8) Reduce Caffeine and Sodium in your diet a few days before and during your period --- this is difficult for MooMoo... hahaha...

(9) Acupuncture - pain relief method --- never tried this and don't think will ever try it...

(10) Have a cup or 2 of Wine - Wine thins blood --- hmm.. never tried this before... maybe will try one day... hahah...


* MooMoo was feeling horrible this morning due to slight cramps but felt so much better after her STEP class today... ^=^ MooMoo always wonder why is the Menstrual cycle created for women in order to have a BABY?!? Is it for us to appreciate the kids more by going through the pain to give birth to them? =p

Southern Ridge Walk-9 July 2011

MooMoo got another invite this year from the 'National Population and Talent Division' Unit for the 'Southern Ridges Walk'. It had been almost 1 year since the last walk that MooMoo went with Piggy. Last year, we didn't finish the whole walk due to the rainy weather.

This year, MooMoo bring Mrs. Chicky along for the walk. This year, the welcome gift pack is a little notepad with pen, a key chain for house-keys and a poncho.

They also provided hearty sandwiches from 'Cedele' for breakfast to all the participants. MooMoo and Mrs. Chicky ate while walking... a bit indigestion.... hahaha... This time round, didn't really get to take that many pictures coz' everyone was walking faster following the guide around for the explanation.
The walk started at 'Henderson Waves' at Mount Faber and ended up at 'Hort Park'. It was quite and enjoyable stroll all the way with informative explanation by Robert our guide of the day. He was the same guide MooMoo and Piggy had last year.

Robert's eyes were so sharp... checking out all the details and looking out for little animals or creatures to show to us. This is just a shell that is left on the tree by a 'CICADA'. It's pretty amazing huh... everything still looked intact and nicely stuck at the tree bark. It's a stage where the Cicada transform into an adult by shedding form its skin.

This is 'Fish-Tail Palm' tree. Can you see that the leaves all looked like fish-tails? The leaves actually looks like its bitten off by insects or animals but by nature, that's how they look like.
Then, we head to the 'Forest Walk' through the 'Elevated Walkway', accessed by the Metal Bridge. It is about 1.3km walk.

This is just a random picture that MooMoo along the walk but the quality ain't that good coz MooMoo's hand shaking and it's taken with her phone camera.
This it the 'Weaver Ants' nest. The ants just folded a fresh looking leave and weaved them together and make it into their nests. There are LOTS of ants inside there. If you disturb them, they can pinch you and not let go. So beware! Hahaha...

MooMoo came to this 'Southern Ridge Walk' a few times but never to bump into any monkeys, though there are lots of signs asking people not to feed the monkeys. This is the 1st time, MooMoo saw Monkeys here. They are not very friendly and you better keep all your food and plastic bags in your knapsacks or they will snatch from you.

Mrs. Chicky stayed far..far away when MooMoo went near to snap a few pictures of them. Mrs. Chicky don't like the Monkeys coz had trauma of them chasing after her when she was young. Mrs. Chicky said this is the grandpa monkey. Hahaha...

MooMoo found a man-made wishing tree along the way. People just write their wishes on a piece of paper and hang it on the tree.

Then, Robert pointed to us a 'Durian' tree along the way and there were lots of small durians hanging on the tree. This is the 1st time MooMoo see a real life Durian tree. Every time, she walked past that place, she didn't know that it was a Durian tree.

This is just some more random pictures that MooMoo took as she finds it pretty funny. The flower is so long and it looks like a big carrot, which is red in colour. MooMoo don't know the name of the plant as Robert is not around to explain anymore. Hahaha...

Another up close picture of the plant with a smaller version of the flower with ants. MooMoo thinks that it looks cuter when it is small.
This is a mini Banana tree, with its low growing fruit, which is almost touching the ground.
Random picture of the flowers at the Hort Park, which is our last destination of the walk.
One last picture taken on the Water Lily.... before MooMoo left the Hort Park to go for lunch.

* After the walk, MooMoo actually thought of the phrase, "Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers along the way..." The wonders of nature... you can just go for the walk a thousand times but if you never stop to notice the surroundings and enjoy the beauty around you, it will just be merely a walk and nothing else. This is the same when it comes to LIFE. People usually hurry through their life and never enjoy their moments in life. Sometimes, we may even missed certain magical moments that could bring a big difference in our lives when we just never stop to pay a little attention to them. For life, it would be different as we cannot go back in time to re-live certain moments in life. So, just remember to cherish your moments, your family and friends in your life and "Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers along the way..." Sometimes, it can really makes a difference...though not all the times... ^=^

MooMoo missed her 'Race Against Cancer' run... = (

MooMoo was so looking forward to this 'Race Against Cancer' run and this is her 1st time joining this race but she fell sick. =(( And the medal this year is so nice. * Sigh...

This morning, really wanted to force herself out of bed but.... got 'heart'... no 'energy'.... throat was killing and lungs just feel bad... can't breathe properly.... after thinking through, better to be alive than to kill myself for the medal. Hahaha...=p

MooMoo feels much better now... thanks to Piggy's Panadol FluMax tablet. MooMoo should have popped this tablet much earlier last night and she could have make it to the race. She only took the medicine around midnight and felt slightly better only now... think the medicine will only be fully effective in 12 hours time? hahaha...

* MooMoo must not fall sick when she is taking leaves... Nooooo!!!!!! =p
