hot bod special
no, i am not going to teach you 101 ways to get a hot bod. i am the last person on earth you would ever go for health advice. in fact, i am just the kind you would want to run away from. yes, run very, very fast.

i was a healthy kid when i was, in zh's words, "jiggly" (meaning FAT). i had the nicest flush on my face and only go to the doctor once every 5 years. cough and flu were never my friends. they were my sister's (she is probably the reason why i become so domesticated; i take care of her everytime!). when i was younger, the notion of health ain't too important to me at all. i wanted to be sick so that i could skip school. i probably only got MCs when i had my chicken pox and when i overslept! that was how healthy i was. but that was then.

after i slimmed down (drastically, that is!), things were not as rosy (literally) for me anymore. i began to visit the doc more often. there were even times when i come down with weeks-long fever and cough. i lost my nice rosy cheeks and got sallow ones instead. along my growth, i picked up bad habits that contributed to my deteriorating health (before we go on, i feel obliged to remind you that i am not 65 this year):

i stop eating breakfast
i heard a saying that goes "eat like a king in the morning, eat like a prince in the afternoon and eat like a pauper at night". breakfast is the most important meal of all! and ladies, if you really want to slim down, get yourself a good breakfast. i don't know why, but since everybody (especially the slim ones) says so, just do it.

i accustom my tastebuds to saltier and sweeter food
salt and sugar. need i say more? *cue "killing you softly" song*

i reject plain water
ever wondered why God says He is the Living Water and not like ribena or coke? water is life-giving! i really, really don't like the taste (is there even taste in the first place?!) of plain water. but i'm going to try because it will be good for me.

i take irregular meals
varsities can just burn. crazy timetable + super big campus = not meant to be
i predict i will continue to take irregular meals for the next 4 years of my varsity life, but no more skipping dinners and skip ALL the suppers!

health promotional board is so going to love me for this entry. considering the blog popularity which is probably as popular as britney spears' fake wigs, i'm sure they'll pay me soon. well, it's a tad boring, but reading this makes you one step healthier already. so if you don't want your foot in the wrong place (i.e the coffin), take these advice with me;
