little update

Something big is coming up. It may and may not gonna change my life. but this post is going to be a self reminder to myself no matter what is going to happen after this regardless. I have always been taught to keep myself humble, to never talk bad about other people and to never ever look down on other people. If i ever happen to be like that, remind me and tell me so that i could change into a good one. At this very moment, i am very excited. It is something that i desire to do so much. But im so shy until i do not know how to accept compliments. but im thankful of that. 2014 hopefully gonna be an amazing year for me, fingers crossed. 

It's Christmas Time!

The most anticipated day that is Christmas, is coming! Two more days to go and this year i'm gonna celebrate it with my beloved family. I miss the time, where everything seems so stress-free. My Christmas day when i was a child was the merriest one. Every Christmas season was the merriest. This year, I feel like i wanna feel that feeling again. And i want all my cousins especially the kids to feel that Christmas feeling. That happy faces when receiving present and the glee feeling when you gather with the family. Cuz i know, the best feeling is when u get to gather with your big family. One day, there will be a time for u to be far away from your family, that is the time when you're gonna miss your family the most. I want the kids to treasure this memory. At least they have something to be remembered of. 

This year, it would be a different one, bigger than before. It will be an upgraded Christmas event in our family history. FYI, my family (my father's side) is not like other wealthy family. We couldn't afford to celebrate the party at the hotel or restaurant etc. But this year, we decided to collect money from each of the family for the contribution of all expenses. This year would be much more different than the other party because, we have our lucky draw, door gift, games and also perasmian majlis by my grandmother. I really hope this will turn out well but all i hope is that everyone will be happy during the time. That is the main objective of having this family gathering. That is to gather, talk with the family and have fun. On the other side, i don't want them to forget the birth of Jesus Christ, that came as our saviour. I am really thankful that he guides me really really well to make this thing happen. I haven't got enuf sleep since yesterday, but i dont feel tired at all. I'm still on fire to get all things done for the event tomorrow. So later in the morning, i will be going to my cousin's house AGAIN to do the stage deco. Just a simple one but hopefully the audiences will feel the warmth that we're trying to express. So, two more days to go, hopefully everyone and each of the family member will keep on supporting to make this event a succesful one XD

Do you know why mum keeps nagging us to eat vegetables?

Mums always know what's best for their child. They always give us good things that we sometimes take it for granted. For example like eating something that doesn't suite our taste. My mum used to nagged me to eat more vege when i was a little, she said that i need to eat it to grow up and become healthy.  She was right, look at me now, i'm tall, i'm healthy and i have quite a good skin. The only vege that i can accept during that time was cabbage. I disliked sawi during that time because to me the texture was kinda lembik and i kinda hate the bitter taste of it. However, for cabbage, there was a crunchiness every time when i ate those compared to other vege. I used to hate eggplant too but now after i learnt how nutritious it'd be to our body, i started to take it and love it till now.

Do you know that various kind of vegetables&fruits bring different function to the system in our body? The darker the the leaf, the better it'd be to our body. 

I learnt about carotenoid through journals recently, so this is just gonna be my two cents on what i have just studied. 

Carotenoids is in the lipid group which means that they contain fat on it. However, since they are only a derived lipid, there'd be only a small amount of fat on it. They're like a good source of fat to our body.

Carotenoids are actually a fat soluble pigment that can be found mostly in vegetables and fruits which is responsible for the colour of the particular plants. Some of the most common form of carotenoid are β-carotene and lycopene. β-carotene can be found mostly in fruits like carrots or anything in orange colour plants. They act as a precursor of Vitamin A which is good for our visual, growth rate and embryonal development for the pregnant women. 

As for the lycopene, it can be mostly found in tomatoes or any other red fruit or vegetables. I like lycopene because it contains some natural antioxidants properties on it which would be very good to my skin because i tend to have a lot of concern on my skin. On top of that, lycopene's antioxidant properties may also reduce the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. An effective antioxidant helps to remove the free radicals from the body system either by reacting with them to yield harmless products or by disrupting the free radical chains. Or in simplest sayings, it means that the antioxidant fights against free radical and protect the cell structure from damage.

Look at how beauty this tomato is. Eat this more and you'll get your porcelain skin.

For your information, carotenoids do not only function on fruits and vegetable particularly but also in other forms. For example, the carotenoid helps the ripening of fruits, turn the leaves from green to brownish colour during autumn and also helps the harvesting of light energy during the photosynthesis of plants.

Since our body cannot synthesize carotenoid, we need consume it from plant sources. It is advised to take it from natural sources so that it'd be naturally absorbed into our body system. However if you are under certain condition of diseases, you are advised to take it in supplement form. 

So guys, eat more colourful fruit or vege if you wanna stay healthy!!
