Foods for beautiful skin

1. Avocado
A good source of biotin, it helps to prevent dry skin, brittle hair and nails. it is also a good source of essential fatty acids and vitamin E. All super nutrients for the skin.

2. Green tea (my personal favourite)

Green tea has a lot of health benefits. Not a "food" but essentially a good source of anti-oxidant and polyphenols. Aim for 4 cups per day. you can add a bit of honey for added taste.

3. Tomatoes

A great source of the antioxidant lycopene, it also contain high level of carotenoid (vit A derivatives, another beneficial vitamin for your skin). These nutrients may help to slow down cellular damage from free radicals. Lycopene also may protect against sunburn.

4. Salmon or any other cold water fish

Rich in omega 3 and other essential fatty acids. Salmon contains astaxanthin, a carotenoid that improves skin elasticity. Omega 3 is not only good for your skin but for your heart too.

5. Eggs

Cheap but complete source of protein. Protein helps to repair cells that have been damage by free radicals. Eggs also contain biotin that helps protect against dry skin.

6. Pomegranate

Anti-oxidant rich fruit. When applied topically may help skin create more collagen and speeds up healing.

7. Walnuts

Another rich source of omega 3 fatty acids. It helps to keep your hair shiny, skin looking smoother and younger looking.

8. Beans

Another source of protein. helps to repair cells that have been damaged by free radicals and aids in repair and regeneration of skin cells and collagen.

9. Soy beans based foods (tofu, tempe, soymilk)

may help to preserve skin-firming collagen because it is rich in isoflavones. Isoflavones also help prevent breakdown of collagen. Tofu and tempe is also a cheap source of protein.

10. Vitamin C rich foods (lemons, oranges, strawberries, Broccoli etc)

vitamin C may help protect skin cells against sun damage by promoting the repair of DNA that’s been harmed by UV rays. Vitamin C helps in synthesizing collagen to promote firmer skin.

In summary, eat more food that is rich in anti-oxidants, omega 3 fatty acids, skin-friendly vitamins like vitamin A, C and E and proteins.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu.

Manusia Dua Alam

Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat. Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

Inferno Panic

Last night, Joel, Anne and i was chatting in the house when we smell something burning. We looked everywhere for the source of the smell until i saw smoke coming out of the main switchboard. First it was only smoke, then little flame. Before long, the fire got bigger! Smoke fill the house and it smell of burning plastic and rubber. We panic and run out of the house. Knocked on neighbour's door to ask if they have fire extinguisher while Anne and I trying to think who to call for help. We wanted to call bomba but didn't know the number! In that moment of panic, we forgot that it's 999. So we call friends asking for bomba's number. Anne called her friend and the first thing her friend said "Anne! Save your laptop and your thesis!" Only post-grad students understand this. Thesis and our research is more valuable than your IC or money or thousand dollar phone because only we know how difficult, how important our thesis is. Its a lifetime effort and hard...

Amazing Swimming Pools

I am a Pisces and "pisces" in Latin means fish. Pisces love to swim. So that explains my strong affinity for water. Just like a fish, i find water to be calming and soothing. Recently i've began to swim regularly after so long. Not only it is a good exercise, it releases stress and is extremely calming. I've read somewhere that water is a good medium to buffer and absorb all your negative energy and emotions. Two in one eh? I've developed obsession over swimming pools recently. Why i always seems to have obsession lately is beyond me. The nicest pool i've been to so far was this pool with an amazing view of Petronas Twin Tower. Perfect for a night swim as it was quiet and the pool is heated. Macam infinity pool tapi tidak juga. Infinity pools are the nicest! Jom cuci mata sambil berangan ada pool macam ni... Ooh that's super nice. Perfect for a night swim. This is a pool in Bali. So calming. Next trip perhaps? ...
