Just a record, I earn one hour now. This is so called the daylight saving changes.
UK is shifting time one hour later from now onwards. ( just check the website realising the clock will only at 2am to 1am..now only 1215am..dun think im goin to EARN tat one hour..haha)So it is officially 8 hours later from MY and SG.
Well, i'm still doing my fyp-probiotic-proven health benefits review. I've just done lactose intolerance, rotavirus and antibiotic associated diarrhea and irritable bowel disease. According to my comprehensive search of evidences, probiotic is able to reduce the symptoms for health problem mentioned above. However, the strains, dosage and duration is the key to the effectiveness.
I still left inflammatary bowel disease and colon cancer.. Thinking to search the evidence for myth of reduction weight??
Can I use my one hour to search it? If cant complete, i will try to complete tomorrow... I still behind my planned to-do list. But such a great progression, feel good :)
Good morning MY and SG! Most of friends are enjoying their 3-day-weekend deepavali holidays, so i seldom see any friend on msn too..
Happy deevapali to our Indian friends and happy holiday to those concerned :)

目前的人生和生活
人生，有很多个阶段，每个阶段都有不同的精彩和酸、甜、苦、辣，而这就造就了人的一生。
生活，有很多个片段，每个片段都有不同的精华和人、事、物，而这拼凑你的生活。
如今，我在求学的阶段，却有着枯燥的生活，快要疯了！
虽然我真的喜欢营养学，可是每天找、看journals, 就在房里的同一个位置、同一个视线、重复一样的程序，我快疯了！
投诉完毕，还是要回去找、看journals... 可是庆幸的是，我会换topic..from probiotic to fiber&heart disease to steroid signalling pathways....
妹妹说羡慕，我说无聊啊！
有时候想想，那个神经很大条的妹妹如果在这里陪我，应该不会无聊...
受不了这个妹妹，msn聊都气死我了，很好奇她脑袋的构造...haha..
姐姐要不要来这里工作?haha..
我的房间绝对可以容纳你..haha..
这里没什么朋友，这里风很大，很冷...
我想念新加坡... 想念那里的生活... 那里的食物... 那里的人和朋友...
可是我不喜欢小小的新加坡，这里比较有特色...
只要想起我要去欧洲旅行，才能让我坚持下去吧？
不可以不可以，我的功课还没做完 T_T
快点努力做完，就可以去看旅行的资料了...
就算complain, 也只能在这里，怎么觉得自己好可怜 T_T

欧洲之旅？
在网上溜达找欧洲旅行的资料...
对我而言，还真的很复杂...
1月到底要去西班牙-葡萄牙还是欧洲呢？还真的矛盾...
1.看到西班牙和葡萄牙的浪漫文化，就不想一个人去...可是这次不去，应该没什么机会再去了...
2.冬天去中欧不知道会是怎样的感觉呢？ 我怕太冷， 不过如果有下雪，我却很想去...hee..可是看了很多资料，发现去欧洲旅行还真的不简单，要买飞机票还是火车票都挺烦的，火车票却还要提早买票比较便宜吧，还要选择几天票，扩越几个国家都要预先定购才比较便宜...可是现在没时间计划啊！还是夏天去？跟trip去比较容易简单吧？哈哈
3.或者想去意大利?
hmmmmmm...

Time Zone
Based on one of the local friend, this Sunday our time will be shifted one hour later. On Saturday night, I will change my clock from 10pm to 9pm, for example.
Means it will be 8 hours behind MY and SG.
Information above was given by a new friend from local. But i think he is the blur-type. Ask him whether is Autumn now, he said Winter now. Actually to them, no difference in Autumn and Winter, and he told me: Here is winter all year round.
Ask him the time zone, he said SHOULD BE this sunday and change back to 7 hours difference in March or April.
I will confirm the time zone with other classmates...
Ok, today is a tiring day. Haiz, one journal is not acceptable, need to look for another journal for my fiber-heart disease essay. Later need to get my probiotic literature review done and send to lecturer tomorrow.
This weekend, shall start doing my fiber-heart disease essay, critically evaluate journal by journal on 3 primary sources and discuss it by putting my own opinions. This weekend to-do list include reading the steroid signalling pathways 2 journals, perhaps should find the relevant type 2 mechanisms journals...
Omg, after today cholesterol practical, i have one more reports due before christmas, all come in one!! Sabar, after christmas I wanna go travelling.. hohoho.....
Btw ahyi told me pounds-RM drop to 5.9++ again.. sign...

MILO, 真好！
今天，好像很多东西纪录...
带来的500克milo,今天终于“开张”了...
因为，今天真的很冷...死heater又病了...
所以，想泡热热的milo来喝，+上冰箱里的半脂鲜奶，让我整个身体暖和许多啊！
老实说，好像没有在这里看到milo,没什么注意到...
下次再去看看好了...
MILO, 真好！
很好，本小姐今天很内疚，没有用工读书+做功课
上网找资料...找...spain的机票和圣诞节...
今天的重点结论是：
Uk christmas is much more happening and commercialised than Spain.
5 jan is more happening than 25 Dec in SPAIN!
Ryanair.com one way to Barcelona costs 26pounds on 5 Jan!!
^^这两天皮肤严重脱皮，尤其是嘴角和下巴，吃饭讲话都辛苦！ @_@
Appendix:
Christmas in Spain
If you are planning to spend Christmas in Spain then you are in for a treat so long as you are going to stay into the New Year. In Spain the traditional day for celebrating is not the 25th of December but the night of January 5th when the Three Kings come into each and every home and leave presents for the children in the fireplace. The 25th December is a public holiday and some children now have a Papa Noel that comes to them then too but the main celebrations in all the towns and homes are on the night of January 5th. If you cannot stay in Spain until then, you will miss out on the major part of Christmas here.
On January 5th as it begins to get dark each town will have a major procession going through it and all the children line up on the edge of the road to watch the arrival of the Three Kings. They arrive on horseback or camel and as the floats go by sweets, rather hard ones usually, are thrown by the children and adults on the floats to all the people lined up on the streets. Children bring cones and bags to fill as the sweets pour or bounce onto the pavements. It is a wonderful 30-45 minutes for the children and afterwards the adults usually go in search of a tapas bar where children are of course welcome ( this is Spain!) and the rest of the evening is passed away merrily.
On the day of the 6th it is a public holiday and the Spanish have a feast of seafood, ham and a traditional cake made of almonds, sugar, flour and turron.
Christmas in Spain is far less commercial than in the UK. The streets will hang out lights but only the larger stores will go to any great effort to decorate their windows with festive Christmas trees and reindeer. Families do not put out lights outside their homes as they do in the UK, the whole thing is far less “twinkly.” If you hate the commercial side of Christmas in the UK then spending Christmas in Spain is a good choice. Personally I miss the “twinkle” and the big build up but I just LOVE Christmas so I bring the “twinkle” here and hang out everything and anything on my balcony and my tree still goes up at the end of November.
Crackers, cards, mince pies, Christmas cake, turkey, baby sausages, festive paper, real Christmas trees are all hard to find here in Spain. If they are important to you bring what you can over with you. If you are staying near Gibraltar, perhaps on the Costa del Sol then you can always do a quick drive over there ( don’t forget your passport) and stock up on treats at the supermarket there. You will find some Spanish supermarkets sell turkey and mince pies, but only in areas that have a high density of ex-pats living there. Better to be on the safe side and pack a few extras in your suitcase.
For me the best solution is to spend Christmas in the UK and then whilst everyone is depressed at the thought of more cold weather and long queues at the shops during the sales I head to Spain for the wonderful celebrations of the Three Kings and usually warm sunshine. I get my fix of sales on the 26th and by the 27th I am ready to spend the next Christmas in Spain. Two Christmas’ each year. What a perfect life!

纪录一下，今天脑袋坏掉
今天，10月22日，英国时间下午5点多，本小姐的脑袋应该是坏掉了，一直到吃过晚餐约7点才清醒...
我...在台湾的英国留学网站看到跳蚤市场，有便宜的2手棉被，正是本小姐目前最需要的... 二手棉被，基于卫生关系，很多人都不会买吧？
刚好本小姐就是穷学生，就是要存钱去玩...所以一条双人棉被2磅，真的很吸引我...朋友们的单人棉被至少6镑以上...
今天下课以后，约了时间看棉被和10p的文件夹，我看到最便宜，买99p一个也！看了棉被，还ok,但是基于卫生问题，还是要洗过，还是装上cover才可以用吧！单人cover最便宜也要4镑，比我的棉被还贵，我怎么可能去买呢？反正才用9个月而已...
那时候，脑袋应该坏掉了. 考虑了几分钟，就决定买下....
晚餐时间了，再不吃，胃就会痛了，炒个菜，来个蘑菇汤和饭.吃饭后，上网，然后就要开始洗棉被了... 知道会吃力，可是还是要洗啊！不可能花钱到宿舍外的洗衣机洗吧！洗+烘干要3镑也！
听了suchew的建议，用bathtub来洗...结果，我觉得那是一项非常好的运动，本小姐在这里根本没有机会运动，平常洗衣服是消耗能量最好的途径，现在洗棉被简直是激烈运动！！！
我后悔了... 用多大的力气把湿的棉被扛到房里，用多大的力气洗棉被... 我, 后悔了！为什么我不花6镑买新的，不用浪费时间，不会在浴室里滑一跤, 害我气喘如牛...
现在，是如何干的问题... 以下是本小姐唯一想到如何让这条棉被可以躺着的空间和方式...垃圾桶只是为了收集“水”...呵呵.. 希望明天可以干... 这里很干燥，为房间滋润？ 我不知道.... 反正我只知道我笨死了... 谁叫人家穷 >< 房里暖气又失灵很多天了！ T_T 明天再放在窗口..heezz

在英国的第44天
现在凌晨12点半，温度5度！
平时有heater还ok..现在是完全没有heater也！好冷！
今天完全没有production!原因很多... 太兴奋了啦！
记录以下：
我有一位OMAR,中东国家的一位同学。她，应该30左右，在她的国家有老公和一对子女，儿子6岁，女儿2岁。她在这里一年了，当她女儿5个月大时，她就得离开，带着当时工作的医院给的奖学金，来这里念营养学。
当时，有很多人鼓励她来，毕竟学费、生活费和薪水都有。只是，她舍不得家人。可是为了前途，还有很多人支持她来完成学士...她还是来了。
现在，她的女儿大了，竟然不认妈妈，认为照顾她长大的阿姨才是她的妈妈，她，真的很伤心。
她来的第一个星期，天天以泪洗脸..第二个星期才开始对自己说：要坚持下去....才走到今天...
一个星期，就像一年一样难过......
而我，也谈起了自己...时间好像真的很难过,看着墙上的日历，才觉得日子过得很慢很慢...可是我知道我的决定依然没错。
只有diploma,我一定不甘心，若干年后我还要继续念书，我的处境可能就跟她一样了，或许，如果那时候我真的成家了，我应该就不会继续念书了，可是如果真的花费全包，新水依旧拿呢？
不管怎样，离开一年，以后就比较好过日子，自己也心甘情愿。回头看，发现一年并不长。
虽然，现在真的很难过，不过还是会咬紧牙根走下去，很快很快就结束了所谓的外国大学生活。
过后，她告诉我，圣诞节前她会回国5个星期，可是...那时候不是有考试吗？！
原来，这个学期并没有考试啊！天啊！那不是表示我有6个星期的假期，12月20号就开始放假...2月2号才开始第二个学期啊！接着，继续上课,我却再也不能专心上课...太兴奋了！有个“我也回国”的念头闪过...可是，我不能任性啊！新币2千，可以去欧洲玩很久了...所以，我太兴奋了...一直想要怎样度过我的6个星期？ 其实，刚开学不久，就要交功课,而且还有fyp...可是我至少可以去欧洲玩个3-4个礼拜？ most likely in SPAIN/PORTUGAL...
可是，根本没有做research on travelling..所以再看看吧！打算买lonely planet, 自己去backpack了...crab有考试，应该不能跟我一起去...自己一个人的欧洲旅行..不知道是好是坏？虽然我知道安全是个因素...

My hostel
After writing my outcome of studies, which i always like to share my findings. I wanna talk about my hostel... It has the positive sides, where it is very private, I own my whole room, though not big. It feels so good, its so called FREEDOM!
I don't mean I have no freedom in Singapore, but i need to responsible for the tidiness, the electrical bill, and blah blah blah.. With contrast to my friend next door, I really not-so-tidy, as in my table is full of my articles, foods, stationary, camera and drinks... And I dun have hanger in my room, so I place them on top of the shelf...erm..so look really messy. Haha, but I dont mind, cause personal space, as long as I know where can I find my things.
The negative side of this hostel... PLENTY! Occasionally, no heater, like now. It has been falling to one-digit degree celcius temperature and strong wind, I shut the window, wear long sleeve and pants but still feeling cold. Occasionally, no hot water, which means I cant bath! All above I can endure, the worst thing is the FIRE ALARM!!! It always rings falsely, as in due to smoking or cooking (YES, IT IS VERY SENSITIVE!) and half of the occasions in midnight, we tried going out in 1am, 2am, 3.30am, 5am, 630 am... and day and night time too...
IT ALWAYS DISTURB OUR RESTING TIME!! REALLY FRUSTRATED! We have been here for 43 days, and we experience at least 12 times of fire alarms, can you imagine the frequency? Average once in 3-4 days?? This is RIDICULOUS!
I already have forbia, putting my thick jacket and long pants on side, incase it rings, I can go out quickly. ITS DAMN COOL OUTSIDE! I really hate firealarms!!! We always laugh those bring their foods or wearing shower cap or towel on wet hairs.. Who knows if one day I'm bathing and it rings??!!!
Fortunately I have no morning class this sem, wat if i have next sem? Like my neighbour who miss their early lesson this morning due to 3am fire alarm?!!!
Besides, the noise also irritating, but I think I'm less sensitive as my neighbours. They are more frequently disturb by the noise due to doors (heavy doors everywhere, to block fire and smokes,just in case) and walk-by residents. Last night, those angmoh drunk and keep making noise in our kitchen and walk way till 3am.. and 330, the alarm rang! SOme of them cant sleep due to the noise and finally they thought they can sleep, but the alarm rang!!!!!!! OK, I'm inert to those noise but cant resist to firealarms!!!!
Minor part is the dimming light, I dun understand why they put such a dimming light in hall of residence, and I heard, in most of the UK university residences. FUNNY RIGHT? Keep making us sleepy.. But well, I'm quite ok with it...
OK, enough of complains, despite the fire alarms, im actually quite ok to anything... I still need to endure till JULY 2009...
OKOK..back to wrap up my literature review.. and good night.

My life- study and food intake :p
一个星期，上课3天，星期五为project day.
由于我的project是research为主，所以不必到实验室报道。
若星期五，我偷懒，剩下的4天就是自己安排的节目。
我，本来就不是一个有计划，有规律的学生。
所以，我可以一连4天让身体好像废人一样，拥有最低的消耗能量，坐在电脑前面，但3餐依旧。谁让我爱上营养学，就是要让身体摄取最足够的营养。
在这里生活，最开心是能够自由选择自己的饮食。虽然少了我最爱的寿司、面粉馃、肉骨茶、laksa等等，可是我却能够选择不进食高油、高盐和高脂肪的食物，目前都以蔬果为主, 但是我还是不能当个完全的素食者，因为我放不下我最爱的三文鱼和肉骨茶,哈哈！如果维持这样的饮食方式，平均2-3个星期可以客串素食者，哈哈。Yoghurt, kiwi, oats, 面饭食等等都是我的主要粮食，偶尔却还是会选择罐头和速食面等等，不然这里的生活本来就单调，应该要让食物多元化一点吧？呵呵
怎么开始写自己的饮食呢？其实是因为现在的生活不是围绕着我的营养学系的课业，就是每天准备自己的三餐，所以不谈功课，就谈饮食吧？ 虽然，它们不多不少都是有关联的，所以我才会喜欢上营养学吧？它跟我们的生活有着很密切的关系。
最近一直在找journal,看journal...
昨天重点在fiber (纤维）和heart disease (心脏病）的密切关系；今天是我的FYP,关于probiotics,也就是有益的菌类，尤其是对肠胃和immune system, 免疫系统有益处。
虽然找资料的过程很难过，尤其是找不到需要的文章时，更是压力。可是读着，读着，却越来越着迷... 我知道我喜欢的，只是时间总是紧迫，我的学习理解能力和写报告速度总是需要改进。呵呵
根据研究，没有直接的报告显示fiber能够降低心脏病的发作，可是wholegrain, nuts却有有力的证据显示降低心脏病的风险。
至于probiotic, 是确定对肠胃好，保持好与坏菌的平衡，是个很好研究的课题。而我选择的研究对象是Awareness of health benefits and evaluation of intake of probiotic products in Singapore. 所以，将会设计一系列的问题针对居住新加坡的人民...你们，迟点会受到我的 “邀请”填哦！要认真的填哦！呵呵 ！ 教授觉得100人是不错的数额，性别、年龄、教育背景将会是比较的因素。
目前，需要帮忙的是新加坡的probiotic products and markets... still doing research.. give me some information if you have :p
Part of my drafted literature review :
"These bacteria are normally incorporated into yogurt, fermented milk, powder as well as capsules as supplement. In Singapore, intake of probiotics is commonly provided by yoghurt and Yakult, Nestle and Danone are few yoghurt brands that are more commonly available in island wide neighborhood supermarkets such as NTUC, coldstorage and ShenShong."
Cheese also contains probiotics, but less commonly aware by consumers.
Hmm,still drafting my literature review, any comment, you are most welcome :p
Do you know that benefits of probiotics, scientically proven??
"There have been many studies done to prove benefits of probiotics as functional food. Probiotic is important in maintaining health of gastrointestinal as well as human well being. Evidences have been collected to prove that probiotics are beneficial to gastrointestinal tract by maintaining the balance of “good” and pathogenic microflora in colon and enhance immunity function. Probiotics demonstrate the function of relieving constipation, treating diarrhea (rotavirus, traveler or antibiotic-associated), pouchitis, vaginal infection and maintain remission of inflammatory colitis. On top of it, some scientists suggest that probiotics have exerted positive impact on cancer, allergic, bowel disorders and failure to thrive. However, more studies need to be done to support the suggestion above"
由于我的project是research为主，所以不必到实验室报道。
若星期五，我偷懒，剩下的4天就是自己安排的节目。
我，本来就不是一个有计划，有规律的学生。
所以，我可以一连4天让身体好像废人一样，拥有最低的消耗能量，坐在电脑前面，但3餐依旧。谁让我爱上营养学，就是要让身体摄取最足够的营养。
在这里生活，最开心是能够自由选择自己的饮食。虽然少了我最爱的寿司、面粉馃、肉骨茶、laksa等等，可是我却能够选择不进食高油、高盐和高脂肪的食物，目前都以蔬果为主, 但是我还是不能当个完全的素食者，因为我放不下我最爱的三文鱼和肉骨茶,哈哈！如果维持这样的饮食方式，平均2-3个星期可以客串素食者，哈哈。Yoghurt, kiwi, oats, 面饭食等等都是我的主要粮食，偶尔却还是会选择罐头和速食面等等，不然这里的生活本来就单调，应该要让食物多元化一点吧？呵呵
怎么开始写自己的饮食呢？其实是因为现在的生活不是围绕着我的营养学系的课业，就是每天准备自己的三餐，所以不谈功课，就谈饮食吧？ 虽然，它们不多不少都是有关联的，所以我才会喜欢上营养学吧？它跟我们的生活有着很密切的关系。
最近一直在找journal,看journal...
昨天重点在fiber (纤维）和heart disease (心脏病）的密切关系；今天是我的FYP,关于probiotics,也就是有益的菌类，尤其是对肠胃和immune system, 免疫系统有益处。
