medical knowledge of the day :)

"The Media-Addicted Generation"

"Recent study has found that children aged 8-18 were watching TV, playing video games, on their computers, and listening to music for a total of 6 hours and 23 minutes EVERY DAY!"

so.. we are accustomed to hearing about alcohol and drug addiction, but what about this new phenomenon of being addicted to entertainment and media?

Media and entertainment addiction is essentially the compulsion for, devotion to and/or obsession with one or more types of media or entertainment. The addiction can be hard to recognize due to the fact that today's culture heavily endorses media and entertainment, but do check out the following warning behaviours and see if u're one of those slaves of media entertainment :P

warning signs!!

1. Growing preoccupation: much of our time begins to be centred on one or more forms of media.
2. Consequences: We begin to experience a variety of consequences as a result of over-involvement—such as withdrawal from friends, colleagues and family. AKA antisocial lo!!
3. Pursuit of opportunities: We find ourselves constantly looking for opportunities to be entertained, looking for the next thrill.
4. Defiance: An aggressive and rebellious behaviour often develops as we begin to act out behaviours learned from the media.
5. Obsession and fantasy: We begin to spend much of our mental energy dreaming, scheming and envisioning attitudes or acts portrayed in the media.
6. Tolerance: We slowly develop a tolerance for negative themes. Media forms that once excited and entertained us are now boring. We thirst for more excitement, more indulgence and more portrayals of action, violence and sex.
7. Emotional mood swings: Some forms of media involve intense concentration and participation. After periods of involvement, there is a letdown. We may become impatient with rigid schedules and the slowness of reality.
8. Overuse: There is an inability to set limitations. Excessive amounts of time are spent watching, interacting with and taking part in various forms of entertainment.
9. Neglect of responsibilities: Regular activities and responsibilities in school, at work and at home are neglected. School grades drop, and work performance declines. :(:( Trust me on this :(:(:(
10. Denial: When confronted or questioned on our over-indulgence, we respond with resentment, denial and avoidance of discussion.
11. The state of the family: Often the environment and values of our family contribute to the addiction. Lack of accountability and lack of personal discipline encourage excessive involvement in media.
12. Financial investment: An over-investment financially in rentals and purchases of magazines, videos and computer software is a further warning sign. hahha dun need to spend so much moolahhh!! just need a couple of pirates-friends. viola! freeee!! mwahahahahhh.

so guys and girls: DO LOOK OUT FOR THESE WARNING SIGNS, seek early treatment and tadaaaa!! nothing to affect your mugging month for exams:)

fyi. i have NO IDEA of whatsoever regarding to the treatments, if i do.. hmmmm i wouldnt be struggling between studying and youtubing/ msning/ blogging, net-surfing ..... and end up sucumbing to the latter.

i neeeeddddddd help tooo!!

2008 Singapore F1 Circuit Track Layout !!!!

Although a deal has yet to be struck the planning for the street circuit in Singapore is well advanced with Hermann Tilke's engineering team having now come up with a masterplan for the track, although the actual layout came from Singapore itself. It is clear from this that there will need to be considerable work done to construct a pit and paddock area in what is currently the Marina Promenade Park.



If all goes to plan this will lead down to the vast Singapore Flyer, a Ferris wheel that will dominate the entire area. The track will go around this and then turn right and left to get on to Raffles Avenue from where it will run up to the junction with Esplanade Drive, where there will be a hairpin which will send the cars south across to the bridge to the Fullerton Hotel. The parallel bridge will be used for grandstands. In front of the Fullerton Hotel the track will turn to the right and cross the Singapore River to the Empress Place development and the Civic District. The track will then turn right down St Andrew's Road, passing City Hall and St Andrew's Cathedral. It will then go through an fast right-left onto Beach Road and will skirt around War Memorial Park, with the Raffles Hotel Complex on the left. It will then go down Raffles Boulevard before turning left into the Suntec City development at Temasek Boulevard. This will take the cars up to the circle in the centre of Suntec City. They will then go round the circle and exit on Temasek Avenue, back down to Raffles Boulevard, where a 90-degree lefthander will take the circuit under the motorway and back into the Marina Promenade Park.

hmmmm... sounds damn cool right?? but basically i got lost when the direction stated erhhhh.. "The track will go around this and then turn right and left to get on to Raffles Avenue from where it will run up to the junction with Esplanade Drive........." hahhha:P pardon me. im just damn bad with directions!!! but then again, reading this just reminds me of all the familiar road names and landmarks, im dying to go back to singapore!!!! :(:(

o wells. nuff of emoing.

let's end this with a lame joke i came up with that's so *brrrrrrrrrrrrr* i almost got whacked, slapped, kicked, stabbed, killed for coming up with it so randomly...

Joke of the Day!!

After a long pause, I shall start it off with a joke!! :)

Banger Boys

Terry and Murphy fancy a pint or two, but between them they can only raise a pound.
Murphy says: "Hang on a minute, I have an idea"

He goes inot a butcher's shop and comes out with a large sausage.

"Are you crazy?" screams Terry. "You just spent the last of our money!!"

"Dont worry, just follow me" Murphy insists.

He goes into the pub and order two pints of Strongbow. Terry turns white.

"How you have lost it," Terry shrieks. "Do you know how much trouble we are in!!"

"Don't worry" replies Murphy. "I'll stick the sausage through my zipper and you go on your knees and bite it between you teeth. But don't chew it, we need to reuse it!!"

The barman notices them, goes into berserk and throws them out. They continue this trick pub after pub, getting drunk for free.

After the tenth pub, Terry begs: "Murphy, tonight is great, but I don't think I can do any more of this. I'm drunk and my knees are killing me!"

"How do you think I feel?" replies Murphy. "l lost the sausage in the third pub!!"

Terry:

- Winter :)

Uniquely Singlish..

~~ Singlish of the Day! ~~

The word today is DAO! 道?? 高??
Nonononnononono!!
The correct pronunciation closer to 刀!!

And of cos, it doesnt mean sword or knife in the small island.

In singlish DAO means...

D-AO/-adj
An act of arrogant, haughty or unfriendly. Usually use to describe an individual that never ask to your friendly greeting!
Have an similar meaning to "Ya Ya"

Example of Usage:

"Wah! I said 'hi', she walk pass like I m invisible, super D-AO lah!"

Suan Goo: "Oei~ The girl that went to the event is there lah"
Wei Zhi: "That girl damn D-AO"

Mistakes of Usage:

Unfortunately unlike many other singlish that can be formed by adding 'er' or 'ing' behind, DAO is particularly special. DAOer or DAOing is wrong usage of singlish, so please be careful =)

That all from me today~ :)

Coffee Dilemma

Coffee Dilemma

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.

The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee".

The husband said, " You are in charge of the cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."

Wife replies, "No you should do it, and besides it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."

Husband replies, " I can't believe that, show me."

So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and shows him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says: "HEBREWS"

Daylight Saving

Hi Everyone,

Please be reminded that Daylight Saving is activated this morning so all your clocks should skip one hour front.

But why the hassle? Why must we switch our time front and back an hour for? Especially, everyone is rushing for deadline and the Daylight Saving simply just push the deadline one hour earlier!

Well, firstly, I think many would think we are switching from Daylight Saving time to Standard time(At least I thought so). It is just the opposite, we are just switching to the Daylight Saving time. The main purpose of Daylight Saving Time (called "Summer Time" in many places in the world) is to make better use of daylight. We change our clocks during the summer months to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. Another advantage of Daylight Saving is that it save energy. Well? Of course it did, imagine one more hour of sunlight into the evening means you will be switching on your light one hour later. And usually people wake up with the sun already at work (at least I do).

And indeed it has its shortcomings. There are evidence that the severity of auto accidents increases and work productivity decreases as people adjust to the time change.

The idea of daylight saving was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin from his essay "An Economical Project." I will not go through the history as it is rather boring. But people that are interested you can go here.

Lastly, some information about tuning your clock. In spring, clocks spring forward from 12:59 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. and in fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Daylight Saving will begin on the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October. The date is recently amended by our all-time favourite President George W. Bush, who signed his name on an Energy Policy Act. In short, please change your time and the next time we gonna switch back will be on 28th October 2007. In the meantime..

Enjoy the Sunlight

Chapter 3 1/2 (Explaining Chapter)

Hehe.. mind me for the intrusion. After the story I am very curious what is a "Ying Shi Juan". So as a true-future-Computer Scientist\Engineer i it!!

Not sure whether it is what is supposed to be, but i found 銀絲卷 or Silver roll. It is a beijing delicacy. It can also be found in Hongkong, Macau and Guangdong. Dough is made into noodle (La mian) and wrap into another dough (Bread). So it is bread with noodle. It is then streamed or fried.

~~~~~~~~~ END OF EXPLANATION CHAPTER ~~~~~~~~~~

Emily please continue your story~~ :)
