Tips on reducing Menstrual Cramp

Helloooo!

How’s everybody doing?

Today I’m gonna be blogging about menstrual cramps.

Girls who have super duper painful menstrual cramps, I know how you feel. I have those every month! :/ It's like a nightmare (throughout the day)... a MONSTER!!

To those girls who don’t have this experience, lucky you! :/ cos it is really a routine you won’t wanna be involved in. When people are out there having fun, jumping around, eating ice cream, and drinking icy drinks, you are there… lying miserably on the bed waiting, cringing in different positions, feeling dead and eating only as much as an ant can take in. 

So far, I have tried many methods to reduce the pain. I went to Chinese doctors to regulate my Yin-Yang. But it was too costly to maintain. ($150 each month for the herbal medicines) I went to English doctors and all they gave me were painkillers, which I could easily get from any pharmacies or 7-11 nearby. *facepalm*I even followed those drama series, they said eating chocolates could help ease the pain! The most recent attempt was the Eu Yang Seng’s Bai Feng Wan, which I am supposed to swallow a bottle of pills every week. One-whole-bottle. Every week. Goooosh. &so I went on a quest to ask my bestest friend, Google, for help.

1)      Hot water bottles 

I’ve tried this many times, it kinda works! But it normally takes some time for the muscle to warm and relax. I would always wrap it up with a towel and put it at my lower abdomen and then wrap myself in a thick blankie. I will feel like a small little girl every time I do that, hehe!  

2)      Menstral Painkiller Pills 

You don’t wana rely on these too much even though it works. Your dosage will slowly increase over time.  

3)      Yoga posts 

Youtubing “Yoga for cramps” gave me a few results. Try keeping legs elevated while lying down. Or Lie on the side with knees bent. 

4)      Change in Diet 

Rich in complex carbohydrates (whole grains, fruits, and vegetables)Less salt, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine.
5)      Warm showers 

It's quite shiok after it! Always do it while you can still walk (if the pain is not too painful) 

6)      Walk or light exercise regularly 

hmm... hehe! I'll work on it soon! 

7)      Have adequate sleep 

Yupp :D absolutely love this method, have been doing it all along keke!

well, that's all I've learnt so far, hope these few tips are of use to you! ^^

Working Adult Grumbles

Researched on many topics like prices of household appliances, industrial boilers and building materials as part of my jobs. But more than 60% of my time was spent on researching other things like tour and wedding destinations, birthday parties, scrapebook making and online shopping for clothes and bags! Tee-Hee :D

But overall…… I hate my work! can't wait for it to end on 26^th July!

there's lame colleague who is a total S-L-A-C-K-E-R. can't stand him.

I started the job feeling all motivated and pumped up to do work. then came this slacker disrupting my mood as he was slow and had a bad attitude about the job. using the phone and coming in late every day, and still gets the same pay as me! at first I thought it was going to be temporary. I started to talk to him to get him motivated but he was a stubborn as bull about his lousy work attitude and made me feel unbalanced. I was grumbling to myself and tolerating all his nonsense every day, and it was torturous. Was I working too hard? I had to stop working so hard to feel less unbalanced. I started going slightly later for work, started using my phone, and started surfing the net for stuff other than work. I hate myself like this actually. & I hate him for being like this. Disgusting, how can anyone be like that?

Zz. Nuff grumbling about work.

Life has been fine other than times at work. Been meeting up with my dear friends (Astrid and Sharmane), and my dearest boyfriend ^^ I’ve also been catching up on family time after my one year of stay in hall. Missed home so much :P I love Nikki, mommy and everyone elseeee. (oh and especially mommy’s cooking J)

This is the yummy macaroons from TWG! :P #omnom

Boyf has been feeding me so much that I’ve gained 8kg since last year (exactly this period one year ago) #fatdieme. sigh, how I wish I can go back to below 50kg. Oh well, I’ll try my best! Probably gonna start running for the RunNus 5km that boyf have signed up for me :/

Adios~

boreddd

Dear people,

I'm bored. :( days just seem so meaningless. &that's why I hate holidays for that matter.

Okay, its been long since I've last blogged! so, another semester have passed, and it passed so quickly with this boy :) Thank you for always being there when I need you! to wake me up on Saturday mornings, dabao CCK for my breakfast, pushing me up stairs when I am too lazy, encouraging me to study, buying me lotsaaa food :P

College Life Tips

hello people!

work sucks... I have been staring into blank space for the past 4 hours, doing nothing at all. But i get paid, oh well :)

attended Mech Eng camp as a councillor this year. my feelings about the camp is that being a councillor really tests someone's responsibility level and stamina to get the energy going. I felt like a lousy councillor no matter how hard I've tried. Broke down like twice cos of the camp, guess I'm stressing myself out too much. but it's finally over and I see freshies slowly warming up to each other and that really warms my heart. :') the camp was not only for the freshies but I also got to know other councillors, SiYing, Dennis, JiaJun, HweeSheng. they are all very nice people, different from what I thought out to be hehe :P

While being a councillor, it makes me think back one year ago when I was a freshie myself. I told myself: this is my only chance to get wild in university and experience things I would never experience once I step out to the working world.

Rule #1: STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE. 
& that was exactly what I did.

I joined Rag, an annual performance with a hugeass float with dance and cheerleading. Used to have trust issues... but cheerleading made me trust people better. I mean its like your life is literally in their hands. Never did I regret spending the one whole months being actively involved in it.
I joined Raffles Hall, a balanced play & work place where I've decided to reside in. :) super convenient as it was just beside the school of engineering.
I joined Touch Rugby. OMG a sport!! *a round of applause for the non-sporty girl*
I was in RH Paegent! wanted to reject it, but it was like once in a lifetime so I was like "arghh... heck it, no one will remember thise after awhile, #YOLO".
I joined two school clubs! SME and Engin Club to enhance my planning skills. 

So anyways, some freshies have been asking me how's hall life and what to bring to hall! I'm thinking they asked the wrong person cos' I simply bring everything to hall, had a hard time moving everything back home :X but I am still gonna provide a list of suggested items to bring anyways :)

1. Toiletries, Clothes, blah blah blah the normal living essentials
   one thing to note: prepare lots of sports wear enough to change a few times a day. I don't know about you guys, but ever since I've moved to hall, I've been bathing at least three times a day! All the random activities in the middle of the night happening~
2. Board decorative items is a MUST!
   this is probably to motivate yourself to study hard, and paste a few pictures of your darling friends and family to ease the loneliness (if you stay in single room)
3. Mini fridge
   to store your milk, fruits and yogurts.
4. Radio, cards, cups and "emergency bottles"
   be ever ready to start up parties & hype up the mood for mini drinking sessions every now and then throughout the semester. I mean, occasional drinking sessions are the times when people let their hair loose and just relax and no pretence! righttt? :)
5. Study Calender / Organiser
   this is very super important, I just cannot emphasize this enough. Practice time management for all your hall activities + school time schedules and venues + EXAM DATES (& venues of course).

yup, that's about it :) I hope these few tips help! 

Just keep in mind that college life is a once in a life time. Go wild while you can before you enter the dull and mundane working force! 

We'll live while we young ~(song by One Direction)

Have fun! ^^ Adios~
