Caffeine for the world!!
i was drinking a super strong coffee.. and when i say strong, the coffee is really strong that because no one around me drinks stronger coffee than me, any strong coffee they drink is very mild for me... dun believe? try putting 5 teaspoon of nescafe instant coffee into a cup add half a teaspoon of sugar and hot water... into like a very normal cup... try drinking it :)
if not try going to macdonald, buy a coffee, add half a packet of the sugar, stir and drink... well most ppl would say, "AWW! it is so bitter, u freak!" well to me, "life is good, coffee is great!"
ok so my point on this blog is not to show off how i like coffee and all... i was actually drinking another super strong coffee today, and so i thought to myself, is coffee very bad for health? cuz i know i am a heavy coffee drinker, so i did a research on caffeine and coffee... well coffee CAN be bad for health, but not necessary so...
here are my research, i will briefly state out the impt part of what i found by point...
1) first, coffee and pure caffeine pills (usually found in diet pills) got a big difference!!
-drinking coffee, in moderate amount, like maybe 2 cups 1 hour or 2hours before work out is good. but taking caffeine pills is no good... thats cuz u are like ingesting a huge amount of caffeine at one go... ur body might not be able to take it...
- caffeine is actually too strong for human body, even for strong coffee drinkers, like me... so i dun suggest caffeine pills.. but coffee!!
2) well drinking coffee, actually can help boost ur exercise performance, and is by a great amount! the coffee stimulates not only ur brain and nervous system, it also makes ur body produce this hormone... that can actually burn ur fats instead of ur muscle or carbohydrates energy! great for weight loss!!! YEAH!
3) furthermore, coffee can boost ur performance and thus u will work out more intense, then naturally u will lose weight! EASY! YEAH!!
4) coffee and coffee tolerance level... for those who do not really drink coffee.. start with a MILD cup of coffee... just one cup will do, like one hour before exercise... cuz ur body is not adapted to caffeine and cannot tolerate strong coffee... so if u wan to try out the superb effect of coffee, then just try a mild one will do... for strong coffee drinkers.. u can try out super strong coffee like 2 to 3 cups 1 hour before workout... it is great, but BEWARE OF THE HEALTH RISK!! i will say the health risk later...
5) coffee and studies... as long as u focus, drinking coffee boost ur brain "intelligence" on the part that u are focusing.... so it is great for studying... however!!! drinking coffee decrease ur "intelligence" on other part of the thing that ur brain does not focus on... and mostly these parts are broad thinking skills and abilities.... however these effects is only temporary...
coffee can be good to ur studies and performance in sports... but... beware of health risk.. and it is really serious if u do not abide by the "caffeine rules"!
1) DO NOT OVERDOSE!!!! by overdose, it actually is by ur body mass, every 1 kg, u take in 3mg of coffee AT MOST!!! like for example if u are 70kg, take in like 210mg of caffeine, which is about 2-3 cups of instant coffee... and it is actually a lot already... so just take like at most 2 cups to play safe?
2) high blood pressure? child? pregnant? NOOOOOOOO! u should not take caffeine, for high blood pressure, if u take too much caffeine, U WILL DIE!! I REALLY MEANT IT! U WILL DIE!!! but for me i have mild low blood pressure ^^ child? u will get hyperactive, and i am sure u do not wan to have little friends and everyone looking down on u and treat u as a clown, do u? pregnant? obvious isnt it? the one in ur tummy is in great risk, u also!
3) and always drink coffee with food or when u are not hungry... if u drink coffee with empty stomach, u will risk having A LOT OF health problem... these tiny mini health problem will add up and frustrate u! like gastric ulcers and so on... so always drink coffee with food or at least something in ur stomach!
4) if u wan to use coffee to boost ur performance, then do not drink coffee everyday, cuz it will boost ur body tolerance level of caffeine, and this can cause u to be immune to caffeine... if u have a competition coming up, don't drink coffee for like 6 days before, and drink like 2 cups of coffee 2 hours before race...
5) however!!! doctors do not recommend caffeine before exercise, dangerous!! but many research and doctors reach different conclusions... so a mild intake is good :)
6) caffeine dehydrates u!!!! so drink water while doing workout! impt!!!
well these are all the thing i found out... so if u are a coffee drinker, or sports siao one, u might wan to try drinking a little coffee before exercise.. rmb DONT OVERDOSE!!!!! anything too much is no good! rmb this!
ok thats all, and i love caffeine muahahahahahahha

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! super long nv update... but NO! this blog is not dead.. and is always alive just that it is not so active...
since it is so long nv update... i also dunno where to start talking about... the last time was the CNY thing...
Let's talk bout school work first!!! OKAY! studies... it is really a lot la... and i starting to feel the stress they are always talking about haha! and my subjects are physics H1, then H2 maths, econs and chem..... well nowadays i like to wake up super early.. like 3am? to go mac and study and have breakfast of cuz... i always get my sausage meal, the $2.50 one... and with coffee! then i always refill the coffee.. so if i am like dying, the coffee will revive me... haha! really dam nice.. and it is not fattening!!! it is 400kcal only... so i still can have my normal meals for the rest of the day!! o ya now i am becoming more and more active, as in physically....
u guys might not know ar.... when i exercise a lot, my body will sweat super easily... but when like my body is very weak and "not sporty" mode, then i wont sweat much at all.. for example during the o lvl study period, i nv exercise at all and i dun really perspire... but now in SRJC.... woah cool!! the canoeing trial really make a difference la, now i can do lots of push ups (30+ at one go), tho it is little to many ppl.. and at my best when i am warmed up and muscle fully restored, i can do 7 pull ups!!!! yeah!! but as i train i can only do like 2 pull ups only... haha! hopefully it is my muscle that is worked out and thus not pulling up anything much... o ya and i really perspire a lot!
o ya and now i join Taekwondo!!!!! haha i am actually more interested in boxing... but TKD is actually not so bad la.. just that very focused on kicking techniques.. well lets hope i can excel in TKD!
o ya... i hope everyone knows this... cuz wat i act out or express out, does not totally reflects on my thoughts and emotions... u know sometimes ar, i did something good, or something great, or something that other ppl cannot do, i will like "YEAH!!!!!!!" then jump around and raise 2 hand... but many many or almost all ppl see these as, arrogant, proud, show off... argh!! i am not!!!
well as a friend shouldn't u be happy of ur friend if ur friend did something great? hmmph!
btw back to anime, i watched finished Kuroshitsuji, super nice anime, one of my best rated one, except for the ending, makes me feel empty.... now i started watching K-on! watched 3 episode le, and it is freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! that makes me wanna learn how to play guitar...
ya speaking of which, I REALLY REALLY WANNA LEARN PLAYING PIANO, GUITAR and LEARN BOXING!!!!!!!! dam it really no time and no money.... those things really attracts me... haha! afterall it is nothing to do with air and water.. o ya i am a very land person... i dun like high elements stuff, no water sports, just land! purely land! love land!
o ya in SRJC right, i learn the virtue of taking photos... in the past i really hate taking photos and feel that i am ugly and all.. but photo is about capturing the moment and the fun we had at the time... since we always take photo, i also learn how to show a few emotion, or rather only one... which is the angry and "fight searching" face!!!! haha it is in my facebook profile pic la..
o ya and i buy this freaking slipper... so expensive, i am not gonna say out the price... really silly of me to get convinced to buy that slipper at the price.... then i tot is super good slipper...
then i wear, wah totally rubbing my feet, like 5 parts of my foot (foot not feet) de skin come out... dam dam dam pain.. in the end i have to take off slipper and walk barefooted on the ground after playing soccer barefooted... and it is totally embarassing doing that... neh :(
and and and... i am typing this on the 16 march 2010... and today is a freaking bad day... tho it is fun cuz of the class outing... ytd night, play dota with wee liang, since we long long long long time no play dota, we are so noob that kena own.. but still fun.. and i play till like 12am... so i sleep like 12+... then 6am wake up, go sch 4 hours lecture, then go back home, need to see my father again... wah seriously.. dam pek chek.. will talk about it next paragraph... then bath and go buy things( need walk a lot) with my super pain pain pain slippers... wah buay tahan.. then the pain distract me from the si jie house gate, make me bang onto the gate.. lucky gate also no spoil.. haha! but still is the feet that is pitiful... then i put on so many plaster to try to protect my feet... still it is very painful... then cuz i need to walk barefooted, the plaster is so black and looks freaking dirty... and it is.. then like very paiseh lidat.. haiz!!! really bad day... and and and i didnt bring extra cloths to change for the outing... wah super smelly me... pity my class ppl.. and thanks them for enduring it la! great class, best class, love 1s19 man! other class totally not as bonded as us man.. o ya i sweat cuz of playing raving rabbid! haha super fun!!! i even got first(tie with second) once..! haha!!!
o ya now.. this paragraph is all about my family... first of all, i forgot my mother's birthday!!! ah bad me!! feel so bad... but really today is tooooooooo hectic and too many things for me le... and ya just now i say about my father... here is the history behind it...
.. b4 i was born, my siblings, sister and brother, who are much older than me, got tortured or abused by this asshole father of mine... including my mother also kena abused... well i am no exception, i hate him and i got mentally tortured by him until secondary sch, since then is when i get friends, i get courage, i get strength to protect and fight back my father.... and now today, he still wan find trouble with me.. keep giving me problems.. he really doesnt use his head man.. i even tried helping him to improve by giving him like 2 hours of continuous lecture.... make my throat so pain until got blood come out and infected then need go hospital.. and yet he listen to nothing in my "lecture"... given up hope... each time i hit him, i will feel immense guilty later on.. but hey, by right he is the one provoking me... asshole! freak him la!
therefore... i really got bad day today...
o ya to those who dunno about my personal life... here is one SUPER DUPER HYPER IMPORTANT thing about me.... and this plays a super big part in my life... well other than family and friends and necessities.. i got this stuffed toy dog, and i always call him gou gou.. he is my friend, and only true friend i have since very very very very young... everytime my father bullies me, i talk to him, and cry... everytime i get bullied in sch (teachers and students), i talk to him and cry.. ya my pri sch days is torture, totally torture, both mentally and physically... will talk bout this next paragraph... then gou gou ( means dog dog in chinese ), will always absorb my tears away.. he is really my true friend, he doesn't mind my negative part of me, he always listens to me... i am most true to him then any other ppl... sounds chilidish.. but really it is very important to me...
ok now pri sch life... really sucky... i am fat, big size... this attracts ppl to gang up and beat me up or bully me cuz it is fun to bully fatties!.... and thus it is pain getting beaten up, physcial torture, and dignity being stepped on, mentally torture, when i tried to fight back with those 1v1 and not gang up, i will always kena by teachers, "hey kah sheng, u are so big size and u expect me to believe u got bullied, u are the one bullying ****, go stand outside now, i dun wan to hear this again, if not u will get caned by me" and at times i really got caned for being bullied.. when i go home, i cant tell my parents about it, my mother who cares too much about me will make a fuss and complain and make matters worse, my father will provoke the teacher even more and then the teacher will vent the frustrations on me... and furthermore, my father will still beat me up when he lose money in stocks... so what can i do? what i did was cry every night and talk to my gou gou... sounds silly.. but i promise it is nothing pleasant, and i have to minimize the sucking of mucus sound so as to not let my mother know i crying.. and i have to pretend i am sleeping, and say that the pillow which is very wet ( from my tears), is cuz of my sweat.... ( who will sweat so much during sleep?!?!) ya... i almost became crazy, and i mean it when i say crazy... but well i got up and now i am quite mentally strong, i dun mind going anywhere alone, i dun care about friends so much now... and i treat the word friend very very seriously, a friend is a person who cares about u... in all areas....
o ya today main event haven say yet... THE CLASS OUTING!!!! it is at amelia house... very fun sia... we play soccer, raving rabbid, bbq, and mahjong, and cheat!!!! super fun la my class... all the fun ppl haha! but cannot put those in words, have to really experience it then know the fun... and i really regret wearing that slipper and not bringing extra clothing... i am so smelly haha!
wah when i look back now.. i type so much.. but ok my blog has no pictures.. only words!! i love gou gou and mum!!! and i am a very random guy!!!!
ok this post lets u know more bout me and same thing, updates about my life!!!!
Cheers
