Top 10 Foods for a Good Night's Sleep

Bananas -- They’re practically a sleeping pill in a peel. In addition to a bit of soothing melatonin and serotonin, bananas contain magnesium, a muscle relaxant.

Chamomile tea -- Chamomile is a staple of bedtime tea blends because of its mild sedating effect, which makes it the perfect natural antidote for restless minds and bodies.

Warm milk -- It’s not a myth. Milk has some tryptophan, an amino acid that has a sedative-like effect, and calcium, which helps the brain use tryptophan. Plus, there’s the psychological throwback to infancy, when a warm bottle meant "relax, everything’s fine."

Honey -- Drizzle a little in your warm milk or herb tea. Lots of sugar is stimulating, but a little glucose tells your brain to turn off orexin, a recently discovered neurotransmitter that’s linked to alertness.

Potatoes -- A small baked spud won’t overwhelm your gastrointestinal tract as it clears away acids that can interfere with yawn-inducing tryptophan. To up the soothing effect, mash the potato with warm milk.

Oatmeal -- Oats are a rich source of sleep-inviting melatonin, and a small bowl of warm cereal with a splash of maple syrup is cozy -- and if you’ve got the munchies, it’s filling, too.

Almonds -- A handful of these heart-healthy nuts can send you snoozing because they contain both tryptophan and a nice dose of muscle-relaxing magnesium.

Flaxseeds -- When life goes awry, and feeling down is keeping you up, try sprinkling 2 tablespoons of these healthy little seeds on your bedtime oatmeal. They’re rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a natural mood lifter.

Whole-wheat bread -- A slice of toast with your tea and honey will release insulin, which helps tryptophan get to your brain, where it’s converted to serotonin and quietly murmurs "time to sleep."

Turkey -- It’s the best-known source of tryptophan, credited with all those Thanksgiving naps. But that’s actually modern folklore. Tryptophan works when your stomach’s basically empty rather than overstuffed and when there are some carbs around rather than tons of protein. But put a lean slice or two on some whole-wheat bread midevening and you’ve got one of the best sleep-inducers in your kitchen.

a little paragraph which I prepared for my International Marketing paper

We witnessed the dramatic changes in the world’s geo-political landscape in the past three decades. From the unification of East and West Germany, the formation of European Union to the opening up of China, trading has gone beyond domestic markets. It has moved into regional into global markets. Market strategies need to be developed for the UKs and the Bangladeshes (the advanced and developing nations). This is international marketing. The process of planning and undertaking transactions across boundaries that involve exchange.

Eat, Pray, Love will and will be filmed into a movie! This is one of the good reads of the year. I never knew this book had caused such a phenomenon back in States until after watching Oprah this morning. so happy to hear. =D

final paper 14 aug.

aunty geok khim went out to throw a pack of rubbish and came back.

AGK: eh... the rubbish chute is spoiled.
Me: hahahaha..
I spoiled it.

You see for some dun know what reasons, I have the privilege of not needing to throw our house’s trash. Usually mum and sis will do it. So that day, since I was washing up the dishes from my baking session, I decided to clear the rubbish bag and the food-mixer box.

As I walked and reached the rubbish chute: “wow, don’t think this big box will fit down the chute wor” “hmm, if the chute’s mouth opens bigger then it will fit!”

So... with my mighty legs, I applied abt a 10kg force onto the ‘stepping lever’

“ha-ha its wide open, just nice!” And from that day onwards, the chute had its jaw fractured.
