Olympics bonding

After the 2008 Olympics Games in Beijing, China, despite all the ongoing unpleasant incidents for the Games.

While the sporting ambition of bonding nations, sportsmen and etc is a tad too high and lofty. The bonding is actually at the family level.

As there are coverage in various channels, we could be watching it in different rooms for different sports etc. Certain sports will bond the family together like sports that have your own nation participating in it, common popular sports like Swimming, Gymnastics etc.

Though sometimes there are preferences for certain niche sports like basketball, cycling, diving, certain athletic events but most times, there is a general consensus to watch that sport, change over when certain parts are boring, or simply cheering for that particular country or sportsman.

It does not have to achieve a lofty ambition, it can starts from the family.

Organic Story Mangosteen Juice

Organic Story Mangosteen Juice

Queen of Fruit

The Mangosteen is known as the “Queen of Fruit” and grows in the southeast region of Asia. It is one of the most unique fruits in the world for its flavor and for its broad range of healthful anti-oxidants (especially Xanthones). The queen of fruit not only has an army of anti-oxidants and other nutritional health benefits (eg. vitamin C, B1, B2, B6, potassium, iron, and calcium) but her delicious flavor will keep you coming back for more.

Anti-oxidants
Anti-oxidants are what nature gives us to combat Free-Radicals in our body. Free-Radicals are organic molecules responsible for aging, tissue damage, and possibly some diseases. In simple terms, anti-oxidants remove rust (oxidation) in our bodies. Rust is not good on a classic car or your classic body (like a classic car, we should get better with age or at least take better care). Xanthones are a particular kind of anti-oxidants that have been studied by many for its effectiveness in health.

Xanthones
Mangosteen's Xanthones are found in the pericarp or outer-skin. We separate the pericarp, the sweet white fruit, and the inner seed (not in every fruit), presenting a formula of highest concentration. Organic Story wants you to have the nutrients as well as the great taste. We add a touch of natural Rosella (1%) from Thailand for its bright red color and pleasing sweet taste. Rosella is also a source of anti-oxidant power for your body.

Dozens of studies have claimed to demonstrate the incredibly beneficial properties of the mangosteen fruit.

1. Sustains a healthy cardiovascular system
2. Supports cartilage and joint function
3. Boosts absorption of vitamins and Supports the immune system
4. Promotes a healthy seasonal respiratory system
5. Maintains intestinal health
6. Neutralizes free radicals (Filled with antioxidants)
7. Prevents aging-related problems
8. Good for the skin
9. Contributes to healthy digestion

Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 - Cleared!

Finished Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 after a grueling 10 hours of play.



Sound short? It is a very stressing 10 hours to get through the game. A long 10 hours~!
Operations are harder now, even the puzzle~! There are only 1 or 2 brief tutorial missions so veterans will not get bored as they are probably like 3-4 tutorials packed into 1 operation.

Storyline is as good as ever, a good plot, better graphics. Some operations looks the same but the operations against the GUILT virus starts off the same but with a mutated version. Final mission is a killer which required lots of patience and caution.

Overall a great game to play~! I rate it 9/10.

Has she becomes a Singaporean already or treat Singapore as a working place?

After like 13 years, Lee Jia Wei still can sprout this sort of nonsense.

So Singapore is not her homeground? not her home? After so many years, she still cannot speak English properly.


English translation : I am a Beijinger


English translation : and also a Chinese (not the race but as a citizen of China)


English translation : I hope that on my home soil


English translation : I can win a medal.

Zapcode Winner again!

Received a call suddenly during work and I was very surprised to hear that I have won a Zapcode prize~! When the marketing executive, same as my previous win, said that I won the Nikon COOLPIX P60, I was ecstatic!!

I had previously mentioned that I wanted to win the camera as compared to all the Zapcode contest prizes, I wanted this this most~!

As collection is during office hours, my family members helped me to collect it.

Prize include P60 and a camera pouch. As I do not have a SD card, I have been relying on the internal 11mb memory to take some photos and try things out.

My P60~!

Beijing Olympics 2008 Opening Ceremony

Li Jiawei dragging the national flag on the floor.
Enough said. Disgrace to the nation!

Other nations have the pride to hoist it up, high and straight, she was simply more happy to wave and instead trying to keep it upright, keeping the flag off the ground etc.
