Spa Girl asks is 8 to 10 glasses of WATER a day enough?

Give me a warm summer day and a pool and I’m in heaven, but water is not just good to dive into, it is also important to drink water to maintain good health. I have not always found this easy, but there are some really good reasons why we need to top up our reserves on a daily bases. My Doctor tells me women are the worst offenders and pretend at times to be camels, so girls listen up and drink more water!

Each water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen, we all learned this in school right—H2O. In order to maintain good health your body, which consists of about 60 to 70% water needs H2O to regulate body temperature and to provide a means for nutrients to travel throughout your system to all your organs. Like a river of life it also transports oxygen to all your cells and removes waste and toxins from your system while also protecting your joints and organs.

The general rule of thumb is that we should drink 8 to 10 glass of water a day, but if you really want to know how much you should drink, take your body weight (in pounds) divide that number in half, and that gives you the number of ounces you need to consume in a day. A good reason to lose weight or float away! And if you exercise, and you should be, it is important to drink 8 ounces of water for every 20 minutes you are active. Your water intake should also match your alcohol consumption glass for glass. And if you travel as much as I do, the rule of thumb is to drink 8 ounces for every hour you are on board, 8 hour flight across the pond, 8 glasses of water. I also live in a semi arid climate where another two servings is recommended to keep you toped up.

Now that’s a lot of water and it can become tedious, so if you want a change add a bit of lemon or lime for a nice touch of flavour, or try some of the new flavoured waters, but read the label, some of them have far more calories than you want to add to your day. Only 20% of your water needs come from food, the rest you need to drink and water over all other beverages is still the best way to go, you consume less sugar and less calories. I also like herbal teas, just make sure they are not diuretic and juice, but generally I add half juice, half water just to keep my sugar intake to a minimum.

I have been researching water systems for my home and there are a lot of them to consider, and at varying prices. After much research, and some help from a really good friend, who knows her way around a water cooler, I think I have found a system that will work for me. I prefer water from a bottle rather than tap water for a number of reasons, but being “green” conscious a good home water system seems the best way to go. I’ll tell you more about it in another blog, in the meantime drink up!

Random photos - a lot of Wongsie being disgraceful

WJust realised I got a collection of photos!! No theme, just pics.

Here's a shaggy-looking Pumpkin getting her head stuck in an Ikea plastic bag while watching me pack clothes in the new house!

Looking ridiculously cute as she struggles to get out. I'm not helping her, she has to learn to be independent!

Little menace got out and started to mess up my piles of neatly folded apparel.

Dinner with Lewis and Eekean at Newton before we go watch H is for Hantu. Shengrong was late!

And check out Lewis's mad-huge SLR!

Om nom nom.....

Wongsie loves freaking parsley ok! The evidence on her plate as she chows Lewis's orh lua's parsley!! Gross to the max.

My cousin's daughter Chloe sitting in an Ikea swing. Gorgeous colours!





Dinner with Mike



At our favourite restaurant



My crabmeat linguine... Would kill for a plate now!



Mike's seafood pasta... Not as fab as mine!



New wallet!! So chio!!

Here's Nanolove, the fattest, laziest hammie puff ever! This is her default position. Lying on her back and snoozing!

I took this shot because she was actually EATING in her sleep. That's right! She regurgitated a seed from her cheek pouch, and was chewing on it!

All while being plopped on her back and eyes closed!

Greediest hammie EVER.

At my friend's pool. Fallen flowers look so gorgeous!





I love tanning!

Check it out! Fucking hilarious! My friend's mom found these saucy pics in their maid's drawer and fired her.

Apparently she keeps going missing during the night and THIS is what she has been up to - some pole-dancing competition or something!!

Complete with total sleazebag taking a video of her somemore.

Hmmm... The video must be SOMEWHERE!


I shall search youtube for "Gremlin-looking woman dancing sluttily in leopard prints." **


Alas. No such result.


(I will NOT succumb to making low-brow Ris Low jokes!)

Sexay!

Supper with Rozz at 126. We planned for pigging out dim sum, then on to DURIANS! I was so happy that day.

Sharing the century porridge...



Love in a bowl



Rozz's fav: Tender beef strips with a touch of lime.
MmmMmmm



Deep-fried yam puffs!!



Crispy on the outside, wet, soft and gooey on the inside.

The yam mixed with hot char siew is fab.



Here's Rozz blowing away at the food coz she says smoke makes her photos ugly.



My absolute favourite there: Garlic steamed prawns!
So simple yet SOOOO yums.



Chee cheong fun!


And onwards to durians:






There's Rozz snapping a pic of the young durian seller with his goods. -_-



He loves it!

How can anyone not love this? Creamy, sweet, melts in your mouth... I don't see how the smell is pungent either!!

The closest thing to durians I can think of is Creme Brulee - which everyone loves!!

Anyway I have a new pact with Mike. He can never again cook parsley at home, and I can never again bring durians home.

Very sad right? But worth it for no parsley smells at home again, ever!

Happy!

Another pic at the pool - found this cute little dinosaur toy!!

I gave it to a cute little girl at the pool but I'm a bit sad coz I really like the dino!! :(

Safra Mount Faber and a bit of SR's ass.



Me!



Centipede we saw...

Afterwards, dinner with the rest of them...

Only took one picture: Here's eekean glaring at something Lewis said while he nonchalantly continues eating.

Dinner with Alyssa (who wants to remain anonymous. Bleah.) and BFF.



What's with friends wearing fedoras nowadays?

Had dinner with Eekean again and the restaurant was closing, so they gave us two bowls of peanut cream dessert...

Eekean pointed to the bowl of spring onions I took out from the fish dish, and told us to dare her to put the peanut paste into the bowl and eat it!


So I said, "Ok lor, I'd give you 1 dollar if you eat that."


And she said "On!"

Gross can? It may not be very gross to most people but I HATE spring onions. So...



Can tell she's loving it.



Urgh!! Eating with gusto!


Finished.


And the end result, she gets..........

Change! Not even a dollar coin lor!! WTF.

She happily took the money.



Here's my nails, sponsored by Celab Nails!

Gorgeous, right?



Happy! My nails before the manicure was atrocious.

More of Eekean's disgracefulness, as promised:





Never will I ever eat squid ink pasta again.



One more pic from the LG advert...



At the live TV and web interview for Blog TV!

The topic for that day was Plastic Surgery and they invited Dr. Martin Huang and Rozz and me!!

It was like a Girls Out Loud reunion!!

Hosts were Flying Dutchman (anyone knows his real name at all??!) and Phin.

It was pretty fun. Dr Huang is so funny!

They gave him a picture of the Flying Dutchman and asked him to circle where he should get plastic surgery.

You'd think that most people would be polite and circle one or two areas, but the whole picture was full of red circles!

Damn funny lah!

The hosts totally took it in stride though.

Anyway I was informed that BlogTV has gone on for 4 seasons and this is the first time I've agreed to do an interview with them despite being asked several times before.

I didn't even realise lor!

The last time they asked was quite some time ago, and the reason why I rejected them was coz I was STILL pissed with fucking Lin Xue Ling!!

Hahahaha!

I don't forgive and forget easily. Took me 3 years!

Lin Xue Ling, huh? Where are you now, bitch?


(Ok fine her LinkedIn profile says she is still working for Mediacorp as a presenter/producer. Still!)

With Rozzie who's donning on a damn chio Adidas jacket.



:D


That's all for now!

I'm preparing my Nomination speech post so be patient! Will take photos tonight, probably published by tomorrow.

(Yes I said tonight and it's 3.15am. Terrible.)

Meanwhile remember to vote!!

Thank you! Totally appreciate it! :D
