Famous Breakfast Around The World

Did you know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day?

Siega-Riz, Popkin and Carson (1998) defined breakfast as any food, beverages or both consumed anytime between 5am and 10am and not the first meal you had when you wake up, especially if you wake up at 12pm.


Kah!

Children who eat breakfast perform better at school. They have better cognition and concentration. Eating breakfast is like recharging your brain and body for the day. 


Here's the tricky part. What to eat for breakfast? 

You have to eat the right kind of food to sustain your hunger until lunch time. Foods like sugary cereals, pastries or other high sugar foods caused sugar/energy spike and leave you feeling drained and hungry before mid-day. 

Chose to eat fruits, complex carbs or protein instead.

Eggs are good. It can be scrambled, boiled or made into omelette. 


Let's see what are the common breakfast around the world. Shall we?

Goodbye For Now Dear Friend, We Shall Meet Again.

I don't really share about my personal life but today, I lost a dear friend. You know that kind of person that never really leave your life?  That friend that no matter what happens, will always gravitate back into your life especially when you are having a hard time? That kind of friend that says they miss you and then googled your name to see what picture of you that might come up? Yes, he is that kind of friend. And now he has left me for good. Our path first crossed many-many years ago, at a time when I was at my lowest.  We were from a different world. Mine was rose-tinted, safe, and secure. While his world was shadier and truly complicated.  Our personality was also of the polar opposite. I was the serious and disciplined type and he is free-spirited, just kinda breezing through life. Carefree, funny, and a soft-spoken guy. Sometimes things just clicked. 7 years ago, we dated briefly and in that short time, I learned so much about life outside of my bubble. Of all ...

I just like it. bwahaha CPPS ni ada seorang kawan yang dikenali melalui Tinder  sejak 1-2 tahun lepas , kita namakan dia Mr. Horny Goat Weed (HGW) .Weols cuma chatting on and off sebab dia banyak bekerja off shore dan tidak pernah berjumpa pun. Tapi HGW adalah seorang kawan yang baik kerana selalu ada apabila CPPS memerlukan seseorang to talk to or a shoulder to cry on gitu. Bukanlah tidak pernah plan untuk berjumpa tetapi setiap kali tu ada aral melintang, masing-masing sibuk dengan kehidupan sendiri. Yang tak boleh blah tu, HGW siap pesan dengan CPPS. "We can meet, you know, go out and have coffee but with ONE CONDITION." Uishhh ada condition you. Takut kiteeee. "Jangan cerita pasal I dalam blog you." KAH! Okay tapi tak jadi jumpa punnnn. That was a year ago. Nak dijadikan cerita, baru-baru ni HGW berada di darat dan CPPS pulak tengah emosi masalah dunia. So HGW dengan baik hati offer bawak iols kelu...

Sikit Lagi Mau Jadi Hulk

I always consider myself to be a mild-mannered person. Sometimes people, especially those who doesn't really know me that well said they never saw me get angry. They described me as someone cool and calm. Most of the time, i don't get angry that easy but i'm human okay, i do get angry. When i'm annoyed, angry or plain moody, only those close to me knew, especially my dear friend, Anne  I don't have to say a word, she only need to look at my face. I used to think that i have a high patience-threshold but lately, i think something shifted and lowers the threshold. Last week i find myself super irritable, angry and snapped at those who annoys me. I don't know why of all the days, those friends all choose the same day to test my patience. I'm sorry i raised my voice at you guys :p Maybe i should do yoga or something to calm myself down . Or attend anger management courses. Or something like that... Ya, i look like that when i'm angry. All o...
