Obese Children, School Canteen Food and Physical Education Class



Last 2 years, there was an uproar on school canteen food and it's relation to increased prevalence of obesity among children. I voiced my opinion and wrote to The Star regarding this matter. Click on the link to read the article (http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/4/25/focus/8546322&sec=focus) Ironically, the first person to notice that article was my supervisor/lecturer and she immediately text me...


Anyway, i personally think healthy eating habits start at home. How healthy parents eat will determine the eating habits of their children. While it is a good step to sell healthier foods at the canteen, we must also remember that the canteen operator is doing business and when people do business, they want profit. If you don't sell nasi lemak or fried nuggets/fries at the canteen, someone else outside the school will. It is also funny that unhealthy food is always cheaper.  


It is not only about food but how physically active you are. i remember during my schooling years, i DON'T LIKE PE class. Not because i hate being outdoor or doing physical activities but the activities are so dead boring (Sorry PE teachers, i know you are just doing your job). It's always,always, always run around the school under the hot sun..sometimes tennis or basketball but not everyone is sport-talented! Why can't they do something more interesting like aerobic or zumba for the girls? I think exercise and physical activities should be something that interest you and fun.
A+ for the effort. Ko hadooo?!

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. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

Kak PONTI!

Letak gamba hantu comel. Iols dah taubat Kawan-kawan yang ada follow CPPS di Instagram tau la perangai iols yang suka letak gambar hantu kat IG story kan? Kadang-kadang iols post kat Whatsapp Story. Kenapa? Saja. Suka-suka. hehe. Seronok tengok reaksi kawan-kawan dan disebabkan tu, ramai manusia yang silent reader/stalker, SO OUT OF THE BLUE, text iols. Buat macam tu barulah they alls timbul kan. Hampeh punya kawan. Tapi jangan risau. Lepas ni weols tak buat dah.  Wakakka. Dah insaf uols. Nak dijadikan cerita, dekat 2 tahun dah CPPS dengan Anne berpindah ke kawasan kediaman baru ni. Dalam 2 tahun ni, memang aman damai la kan kat situ. Privacy, aman tak bising, penduduknya pula jenis tak buat bising. Memang bukan spesis makcik bawang la.  Amannya sampai terserempak dengan orang dalam lif ketika peak hours sahaja.  Ketika berpindah masuk pun, rumah CPPS tu memberikan satu energy yang baik. Maksudnya takde la rasa seram-seram, tak sedap hati gitu ka...

Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway Yang Mendamaikan

Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway In Lush Misty Mountain This staycation was what, late last year? Somewhere in November I think, during Deepavali long weekend. Vacation yilek, staycation pun jadilah sis.  Personally, I find that staycation is much more relaxing because you don't have to go through the hassle of planning your itinerary. Most of all, you don't have to go through the stress of traveling. Urghhh, few hours to & fro airport, waiting at the airport, the stress and anxiety of going through immigration and such. Just thinking about it makes me tired. #sisaging So anyway, back to Harmony Valley Retreat. You know la, sis ni suka tempat yang aman, back to nature, nyaman sejuk-sejuk. Untuk lari daripada hiruk pikuk kota metropolitan. And Harmony Valley Retreat is just the perfect place to rejuvenate, recharge & relax. Admittedly, the thing that cemented my decision was this review from a customer "So serene & you can hea...

Kalau tertarik dengan rupa fizikal Cik Panda baik tak payah. Rupa fizikal boleh berubah, esok-esok kalau Cik Panda dah tak gojes mojes mau lagi ke orang tu dengan Cik Panda? Sedangkan pantai pun berubah, inikan pula hati manusia.  Gituuuuu. Cik Bear, kawan kepada Cik Meow cakap "Cik Panda tu memang lah cantik, ada body semua tapi tu lah semua lelaki nak kat dia sebab body dia. ha tu lah buat badan lagi." Cik Panda buat badan untuk kepuasan diri sendiri uols. Kepuasan yang macam ni ha "You can look but you can't touch." katanyaaa Cik Panda tak boleh la nak halang orang yang tergoda tengok tapi rimas lah iols nak menapis lalat-lalat bernafsu serakah ni.  Sebab tu Cik Panda perlukan bodyguard/gym buddy/boyfriend upahan/tunang upahan.  G...
