Glorious Sunday

It's Sunday again, and the hunt for food lives on! LOL! We went to this shop in Kiarong called Sakura Biru for breakfast. To me, the Kolo Mee there is, not quite the best, but it is yummy indeed. If you remember the container canteen by Boustead, this is the place. They've moved from the container canteen to this fixed premise. You should try all the mee(s), but what I had just now, to me was the best amongst all in the menu :P that's my view, what's yours? :P You be the judge! My rating, out of 5, 3.5 :D

My Kolo Mee Special - Got chicken, beef, fishcake and big prawn one! Nice! :P

And from there, the adventure begins! Haha not! Since I was driving, I had to wait while daddy and my sister went to get 'ikan pusu' at Tamu Kianggeh. This place is magnificent and sooo picturesque! One of the most important waterfront in Brunei, it used to be the highlight where people do most of their shopping for dry and wet fresh foods.

Tamu Kianggeh

Ta-daa! One of the oldest establishment which was renovated and re-opened recently :D

Next to it, is this old building. No maintenance!

Since we were on jalan-jalan adventure, I got tais liur that I had to stop over at Chop Jing Chew's bread shop in bandar to get this tart, which is like, my most favourite tart on the whole world! Looks weird, but you should try it! I promise its the best! And the pandan chiffon cake as well!

This is the tart that is like my most favourite thing in the world! Haha :P It's got this base, its not that tough, but its the inside that counts. The inside consists of own-made kaya and a sponge cake atop of it all. Sorry, I just had to bite into it! LOL! Indulgence!

Post that, we went to Pasar Borong, where you can find all sorts of veggies, chillies, fruits and such, for everyday consumption of you.

Avocadoes

Sweet Potatoes

Potatoes, Garlic and Dried shrimps of all sorts

My favourite ikan masin! :D Crispy!

Shallots, which, nowadays' price sky-rocketed due to the flood and affected the export of these beautiful babies

Soursop

And for dinner, we went to Lotus Family Restaurant located in Serusop. My family's favourite eatery :P LOL

This is called Jalebi, an Indian sweet

The Laddu

My Chicken Dosai

The beautiful Chutneys that you eat with the Dosai

Onion Pakoras

Kottu Paratha - Shredded paratha, fried with spices and veggies, yum!

Dhal Fry

Paneer Butter Masala

Brinjal Masala
and lastly

Le Plain Biryani :D My favourite!

Golden... Eh?

It was a longgggg day today, had an early start which ended up, on a goodwill, at least the other party's happy :) We were more than happy to help anyways. Lunch and dinner, I did not take pictures for they're of the 'same old, same ol'. Lunch was with my college mates. Was fun only then, Ithey were talking about stuff which revolves around them while I on the contrary, got lost in translation haha :P Dinner, on the other hand, was alright :) Had Tuna Gim Bap ( korean style sushi ). Well, it was my favourite! LOL!

Anyways, my colleagues and I got to talking about ways to clear acne, since one had a problem in that department. I somehow suggested 'Evening Primrose Oil', and when I googled up what it does, it does wonders! I'm sharing with you, golden information which can help life, wonderful! :) Read on, you'll find it useful.

Evening Primrose Oil benefits

Evening Primrose Oil has been called the most sensational preventive discovery since vitamin C. It contains the pain relieving compound phenylalanine and is increasingly being used to treat chronic headaches. It is currently being studied all over the world as a treatment for aging problems, alcoholism, acne, heart disease, hyperactivity in children, multiple sclerosis, weight control, obesity, PMS and schizophrenia. It has so many preventive and therapeutic qualities that it has become a standard part of recommendations of many herbalist for maintaining youth and preventing disease.

Evening Primrose Oil contains a high concentration of a fatty acid called GLA and it is this fatty acid that is largely responsible for the remarkable healing properties of the plant. In fact, Evening Primrose contains one of the highest concentrations known of this important substance and only a few other plants contain it at all. This makes Evening Primrose an important medicinal herb, and as studies continue, the list of benefits will likely become much longer. The gamma-linoleic acid, linoleic acid and other nutrients in this oil are essential for cell structure and improve the elasticity of the skin. These fatty acids also help to regulate hormones and improve nerve function aiding problems ranging from PMS to migraine headaches. The hormone balancing effect contributes to healthy breast tissue.

Specifically, evening primrose oil may help to:

Relieve the discomforts of PMS, menstruation, endometriosis and fibrocystic breasts: By interfering with the production of inflammatory prostaglandins released during menstruation, the GLA in evening primrose oil can help to lessen menstrual cramps. It may also minimise premenstrual breast tenderness, irritable bowel flare-ups, and carbohydrate cravings, and help to control endometriosis-associated inflammation. Many PMS sufferers are found to have unusually low levels of GLA in their systems, which is why supplements might help so much. In women with fibrocystic breasts, the oil's essential fatty acids can minimise breast inflammation and promote the absorption of iodine, a mineral that can be present in abnormally low levels in women with this condition.

**Ease the joint pain and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis: **Supplementation with evening primrose oil and other sources of GLA has been shown to lessen the joint pain and swelling of this crippling disease. A six-month study reported fewer signs of inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis sufferers taking capsules containing GLA than in those taking a placebo. In another trial, the number of tender joints and swollen joints dropped significantly with GLA but not with a placebo.

Prevent diabetes-associated nerve damage: Research indicates that the GLA in evening primrose oil can help prevent, and in some cases even reverse, the nerve damage (neuropathy) so commonly seen with diabetes. In a year-long study, such symptoms as numbness, tingling, and loss of sensation in participants with mild diabetic neuropathy were less marked in those who took evening primrose oil than in those who took a placebo.

**Reduce the symptoms of eczema: **In some cases, eczema develops when the body has problems converting dietary fats into GLA. Getting supplemental GLA from evening primrose oil may therefore be helpful.

Some studies indicate that this oil can outperform a placebo in relieving eczema-related inflammation, as well as the itching, oozing, and flaking associated with this condition. By taking GLA, eczema sufferers may tolerate reduced doses of steroid creams and drugs, many of which cause unpleasant side effects.

Help treat acne and rosacea: By working to dilute sebum, a thick oily substance that is oversecreted in some people with acne, the essential fatty acids in evening primrose oil may reduce the risk of pores becoming clogged and lesions developing. The oil's EFAs help treat rosacea by reducing inflammation, controlling cells' use of nutrients and by producing prostaglandins, which stimulate the contraction of blood vessels.

Combat damage from multiple sclerosis: The abundant supply of essential fatty acids in evening primrose oil may be valuable in minimizing the inflammation associated with this progressive nerve disorder. The fatty acids may also contribute to healthy nerve development when taken over time.

**Treat Alzheimer's-related memory deficiencies: **By boosting the transmission of nerve impulses, evening primrose oil may be valuable in treating this progressive brain disorder.

Counter impotence and female infertility: By promoting blood flow, the GLA in evening primrose oil can help treat a primary cause of male impotence; compromised circulation leading to impaired penile blood flow. The oil is often taken with vitamin C and ginkgo biloba for this purpose. In addition, when the oil is taken long term, GLA can help prevent blood vessel narrowing, often a consequence of plaque buildup from high cholesterol. By improving uterine function, GLA may also help those who are unable to conceive.

Nourish nails, scalp, and hair: The rich stores of essential fatty acids in evening primrose oil not only prevent nails from cracking but also help to keep them generally healthy. In addition, the essential fatty acids nourish the scalp, making the supplement potentially valuable in treating a variety of hair problems.

Prevent alcohol withdrawal symptoms: GLA prompts the brain to produce a specific type of prostaglandin called prostaglandin E, which works to prevent withdrawal symptoms such as depression and seizures by indirectly protecting the liver and nervous system.

Grammarical Errors or Too Expressive? You decide!

My days at the hospital

I spent 4 days at the hospital, had 2 postponed operations until I insisted that I got discharged. No, I am not scared but the first postponement was that the Chief insisted that I have a C.T Scan to make sure if I need other to undergo other operations as well apart from Septoplasty. 2nd postpone was due to the fact that the anesthetist was loco!!!
