due to the slimming diet, my digestive system is really distorted and slowed down i suppose.
other then rejecting all the food i ate after slight movements like walking and taking a bus, the system is really slow that the food that gets pass the stomach comes very much later and the food is not digested properly.
hearing from Chun Ann, Ruo Han and tony who have their motion as oils, i 'enjoyed' the same experience with a one day delay. the idea of holding "The Prom2016" at the private club is really off since they serve indigestible oils.
EEE
and i am feeling much better already, the appetite is coming back.
and the mental stress from the proflie of shi xiong is relieved.
was having an intelligent conversation with Julie over the topic a moment ago
from 'sometimes.. people act nice when the time comes and u need their help'
to later ' pple acting real nice until you approach them for help, they turn into grouchy pple or make it sound as if they go all the way out to help(positively and negatively)'
and finally 'understanding women in society: the working world ;women. they claim we do not understand them. but do they want to be understood?'
well, it might just turn out to be my research topic i think. haha
and julie, here's my essay i want you and others to read.. haha..
Mature with a childish smile
“Laughter is by definition healthy”, Doris Lessing, female author, once quoted. Well, it makes sense does it not? Laughter is associated with the pink health and when in poor health, a frown, is at the opposing end of laughter. You see smiles more on children’s faces while frowns on adults’ are more frequent. Judging from the expressions on the two parties, it seems that adults are not enjoying life as much as children are. Hence, adults should laugh more similarly to children to enjoy life more, to experience true health, and that is being emotionally, physically and spiritually sound.

According to a report by William Fry, M.D., professor of psychiatry at Stanford University Medical School and expert on health and laughter, a kindergarten student laughs 300 times a day on average. Yet, an adult just laughs only 17 times a day on average. After reading this fact, you might think that children are naive, gullible and ignorant and so they do not know the burdens of adulthood and issues of society, and further more they are sheltered by their parents. However, there is not much of a difference between the environments of the kindergarten kid and the working adult, there are many similarities. Kindergarten children have to face the stresses of school even at such a young and innocent age. They have to face a number of different classmates, and have to listen to their teachers and follow a set of strict rules that really contradicts their behavior of being kids of wreaking fun and havoc. Adults, on the other hand, need to work and they face the complicated challenges of dealing with colleagues at work, impressing and performing for their bosses and abiding by all those protocol and the works rules and regulation. In view of this, what then is the different factor that allows children to return home smiling and telling parents how much they have enjoyed their day even if their day was an ordinary one? Why is it so that adults come home with sulking faces, as if their souls were sucked out of them? The answer is “Laughter”!
Laughter might not be able to cure cancer and other currently incurable diseases or illness directly but it would definitely create a happier atmosphere that allows you to cope with the situation. Laughter has several positive effects on our bodies. Psychologist and doctors concur that laughter can increase our will to live and boost our immune system. It is proven that prolong negative feelings can cause diseases, associated with high blood pressure, strokes, arthritis, and ulcers. These are the diseases adults tend to face. Children on the other hand, are commonly down with fever, cold or other common illnesses, or family hereditary illness, like AIDS and diabetes, often different from the adults’. This certainly shows that laughter can improve the well- being of people and also prevent illnesses.
The average child is better at learning about things happening around them then the normal adults. Psychologists also agree that one reason behind this is that laughter also enhances our learning by stimulating our brains, easing muscle tension and psychological stress, keeping the brain alert and retaining more information. A case study once showed that children from dysfunctional families do not laugh as much as normal kids do, due to the problems they face at home. The case study also showed that they are slow in learning mind and they end up being less well off not only in studies but also in physical and emotional health. The empirical evidence showed that children from dysfunctional families fared much lower and few of them manage to earn a university education.

The empirical evidence showed that children from dysfunctional families fared much lower and few of them manage to earn a university education.
Laughter also has an effect on our relations with people. Let us re-examine the comparison of the children and the adults; adults have been very careful with their interaction with other people because if they throw their tempers on the people around them, it is often that the other party will bear grudges and the friendship or partnership is over. Even the two parties are matured, the relation will not be able to mend itself to the original state. In contrast, children are very loose with their words and attitude to their peers mainly because of the little effect of their words and actions on the peers. Although it seem childish for children to quarrel and “don’t friend you” each another over an insignificant acts, we must admire their ability to forgive and forget the insignificant incident and befriend each another again the next day, as if that the “don’t friend you” never happened. Laughter has the ability to dissolve tension, stress, anxiety, irritation, anger, grief, and depression and releases pent up emotions. Without the influences of the negative feelings being bottled up in our body, interaction between people will be less restricted and hence more effective to affiliate and connect with others.
Not forgetting to mention, laughter helps to accept the unavoidable and handles the bumps on the rocky roads like powerful shock absorbers of a car. In tough times, laughter is able to ease the tension of the situation and simultaneously with the effects of laughter on our bodies, it would be easier to stay calm and think of a solution. Unknowingly and often overseen, children are able to achieve this without realizing, for example, when being scolded by the teacher, a child will react by pushing the blame to another person. Although the reaction is not advisable and morally inappropriate, the method to handle the situation is correct, thinking of a way out rather than crying which might anger the teacher more. Adults, on the other hand, face problems and take the problem too seriously and tend to drive themselves or others up the wall. Laughter can help in our relations and methods of solving problems and without it would bring about the strain of being angry with another person or the consequences of the problem being left unsolved and perhaps erupt more problems then present already.
Some say that laughter is not the ultimate answer to illnesses and it is not all good. However, such a pessimistic view of life is rather cynical. Carmina, poet, once said that “A day without laughter is a day wasted.” Therefore we should strive to enjoy our life since we only live it once. Laughter may not completely physically cure but it allows the person to cope and research on laughter is positive that it can alleviate the problem.
Adults should learn from the young the ‘art of laughing’ as it helps them to live happier in their stressful work life and they will be more effective in their work. Getting through events in life alongside with laughter to a certain extend would be beneficial to the souls, as laughter absorbs the negative impacts of life and enable us to live more fulfilling lives, understanding what the psalmist said when they said that “you can see the face of God in the face of an innocent child”.

Yu Jun,
hope you enjoyed reading, and for me, off to sleep and dream for ideas for research paper.
