Pineapple
Helps Build Healthy Bones
Eat a cup of fresh pineapple chunks, and you've given your body 73 percent of the manganese it needs for the day. That is important for your bones, because manganese, a trace mineral, is needed for your body to build bone and connective tissues. And a recent study found that a combination of glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and manganese resulted in significant improvement for people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee.
Soothes Coughs and Colds
It has vitamin C like its orange cousin, but it also has bromelain, which helps suppress coughs and loosens the mucus that often accompanies colds. Studies have found bromelain is effective in treating upper respiratory conditions and acute sinusitis.
copied from some article on the web. can't remember which tho.

today, i learnt about sheesha aka shisha. a pipe bowl, similar to that of a crown; the baluster body, elegant and rounded somehow evokes the shape of a woman. the hose curve that coils up around the mast, can be easily compared to the woman's arm outline. think a palace. which is the metaphor for which the atmosphere of a sheesha session ideally takes place: pillows, tapestries, gold and so on. in short, it's used for smoking flavoured tobacco like cafe mocha. don't get me wrong, i'm still a fervent anti-smoker. yeah. that was the place i chanced upon along arab street for dinner with the guys (zhang, xuan, yongyang). how we ended up there, ask yy whom we followed in the rain, walked about a mile to a 'sorry, we at closed on boxing day' fancy arty farty expression ambience cafe along bali lane. so anyway, we had a feast served on a golden biggest-plate-i've-ever-seen that took up 75% of the table surface that we had only space for the extended handle of the cutlery. seriously, as kuku as i was, i thought to myself, what a huge drink (sheesha) that was. obviously, i've never seen it before la. duh. and the smoke was like the effects of dry ice. haha. it's quite interesting to see the men in their office wear chilling out with their sheesha. personally, the look on their faces is as close as you can get to seeing the effects of glue sniffing. the satisfied grin. we were enjoying ourselves with the huge piece of chicken and dory and naan and flavoured herbs rice and my cranberry graniti or something like that i recall, until the music and scent suddenly filled the whole place when the waiter walked around with a erm.. pot. no offense but what xuan said, i totally agree. it's the kind that encourages you to leave the place. haha.nonetheless, it was an eye-opener and i will be back again for the delicious food but its defintely not a good place to chill.a mystical smoke.

the first time in 2006, i had prata for supper at simpang bedok. beat that.and obviously, i enjoyed myself, laughed till i was too full to finish up the 'kosong' and only had the 'egg prata' and milo dinosaur. to our surprise, each of us had a different hairstyle. cass rebonded her hair and had fringe. sel curled her hair to a different wave in blonde. And yours truly parted with her almost-up-to-waist-long hair to a spunky hairdo. hahaha. edited:
i never knew that changing a hair style was due to emo moods until someone asked me "is everything ok?"
mine reply: it couldn't be any better.
then brandon told me that a change in hairdo is due to traumatic experiences. hahaha. wells. as you can tell that i just found that out, so obviously i'm doing great! =)
to a spunkier me!
