When I was small, I love to take cold stuff. On hot days, I would take
an ice cube from the freezer and pop it into my mouth. And sometimes, I
froze the milo drink my mum made for me in the morning and when i got
back from school, i would dig the frozen milo with a spoon. I also
liked to make Milo Godzilla. My version is to put a few scoops of
condensed milk in a mug, then filled it with half a cup of milo powder.
Then I poured iced water and quickly stirred it until it's sticky and
gooey... it is nice and sweet to eat like that! When I was small, the word FAT did not exist......
When we were studying in Aust, we sometimes cycled to the deli near to
our home
and each of us
bought a cup of frozen coke. We had a little competition where we drank the
frozen coke with a straw and the
first person to get brain freeze lost.... haha, the good old days where
kids like us would do anything to entertain ourselves haha...
As i grow up, I realise that it's best we avoid taking cold stuff. Yup,
i finally grow some wisdom! hahaha... I figured that since our body temperature is
37 degree
celsius, if we consume cold food and beverages, our temperature will
drop... Just imagine the amount of work our body has to go through to
increase our body temperature to 37 again! *sweat*
After knowing the side
effects, i try not to take cold
stuff unless necessarily. I have weak will power when it comes to food
but very persistent when it comes to taking cold stuff. Even on super duber
hot days, I
insist on taking hot drink or soup. Once, there was a black out in our
office.
All of us decided to have a drink at the cafe in front of our office to
cool ourselves. All of my colleagues ordered something with iced cubes
while i ordered hot milo. They were amazed and asked me if i didn't
feel hot....
Weird to say, I didn't. In fact, i felt cool. I may look mad to have hot
drink on hot days, but u know what, today i found that the Chinese Physician actually
agreed that hot drinks should be taken during hot days!
This week, I sort of broke my own rules a few times. well, because my
friends wanted to share iced kacang with me.... Well, I sacrifice myself just for my friends~~~~
Red Bean with ice
It's HUGE! bigger than my head!
I feel a
bit
unhealthy so to make myself feel less guilty, i decided to take ...
ginger drink!
Instant ginger drink!
I'm so clever! 我是有智慧的人!其实是自欺欺人.....哈哈
