The human connection

2010-02-20T02:28:00.003+08:00

Hey guys ..
I come across this article and i find it rather interesting !
So i decided to type it out to share wif all of u :)

Like it or nt, u need frens fer good health. There is evidence that this is true. Last year. Harvard reseachers found that strong social ties can protect against memory loss as ppl age !

A 10-years Australian study, published in the Journal of Epidemiology And Community Health, reported that good friendship bonds, rather than family ties, r better predictors of lifespan longevity. Similar studies conducted in Asia haf also shown the link between strong social relationships n an increase in life expectancies.
Dr Alfred Ow, head of www.1987memories.blogspot.com, said: "Humans haf innate psychological needs, one of which is to feel connected to others. Satisfying this need enhances one's well being.

"One way frens help to boost your emotional and psychological well-being is by providing support in good n bad times." Frens provide us wif care, luv n understanding when we r sad or troubled. They provide emotional reassurance by listening to our woes. "They also provide havens fer us to share our thoughts or feelings in a safe manner so that we don't haf to worry that wad we share wif them will be passed on to others."

However, while frens r important, it is near impossible to be gd frens wif everyone. Ppl who share common traits, interests or behaviour r more likely to be attracted to each other, said Alfred Ow.

Such factors help set the foundation that the friendship is built on. The transition from being just acquaintances to frens takes place when two ppl make that intentional effort to get to know each other better. "When we make the effort to keep up communication by actively talking to n seeking the company of the other person, den that becomes a friendship."

Even the strongest sch friendships may fade if students take on different directions in life after graduation. "After graduation, most would go their separate ways to achieve different goals. There may be no more common elements that hold the friendship together"
If frens show no interest in maintaining contact wif each other, den the relationship may break down.

As ppl grow older, it becomes more difficult fer them to form close friendships.

"Friendships last when there r strong elements involved, like trust, support, warmth n two-way interactions."

Alfred Ow,
Yours sincerely..

Come One, Come All~!

2008-02-11T23:19:00.000+08:00

Ladies and Gentlemen, You are All Cordially Invited to Jin's Kitchen. Where all sinful food comes to life~! We shall start the day with a nice beautiful, scenic and peacefully-zen trek around the "magnificent" Bukit Timah. After burning al those calories, we will chill and relax at a nice quiet terrace while The Chef, most likely clad in his comfortable underpants (you guys know I'm kidding rite?), will be preparing your meals. The meal will be a 3 course. A starter, a main (pasta) and dessert.

For your starter, it will be a platter of mouth-watering, zesty, spicy tomato bruchetta. I emphasize on the word spicy as you might mistake the dish as a bowl of Indian Curry. This bruchetta has a hint of spicy so that it makes the taste of the tomato more outstanding and takes away a little bit of the tangy-ness.

After your starter, you will be served with a bowl of pasta each, as The Chef is still waiting for responses from you, he hasn't decided on which pasta to cook. But of course it'll be the standard Spaghetti topped with the sauce that majority likes or prefers.

And for your last course Ladies and Gentlemen, it'll be a nice little bowl of Tiramisu. The Chef thinks, Why go to Italy when you can bring Italy to u?

The Chef looks forward to you attending this beautiful and yet simple event. Your presence will be greatly appreciated.

P.S: Bring a set of extra clothes and toiletries in case you guys wanna stay over. There is enough room and beds for everyone.

A Little Something Abt The Chef:

The Chef, or also known as Jiajin, has been romancing with the ladies for a very long time and has learnt how to please them with his cooking. He finds that the way to a ladies' heart is through the stomach and his actions. But now, The Chef is heart-broken due to his recent failed relationship and has no one to cook for but has the urge to cook, he will cook for you. So Please, join me, The Chef, on a magical tour of my world and my food.
