yo people. just for fun's sake.this probably is very relevant to students, as far as i know.
concerning something we ingest everyday.
COFFEE! hahas. just a few excerpts.
-----
Caffeine is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive substance, but unlike most others, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all jurisdictions.
Caffeine is a central nervous system and metabolic stimulant,[33] and is used both recreationally and medically to reduce physical fatigue and restore mental alertness when unusual weakness or drowsiness occurs.
*Consumption of caffeine does not eliminate the need for sleep: it only temporarily reduces the sensation of being tired.
Withdrawal symptoms—possibly including headache, irritability, an inability to concentrate, and stomach aches[71]—may appear within 12 to 24 hours after discontinuation of caffeine intake, peak at roughly 48 hours, and usually last from one to five days, representing the time required for the number of adenosine receptors in the brain to revert to "normal" levels, uninfluenced by caffeine consumption.
Two infrequently diagnosed caffeine-induced disorders that are recognized by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) are caffeine-induced sleep disorder and caffeine-induced anxiety disorder, which can result from long-term excessive caffeine intake. In the case of caffeine-induced sleep disorder, an individual regularly ingests high doses of caffeine sufficient to induce a significant disturbance in his or her sleep, sufficiently severe to warrant clinical attention.
Several large studies have shown that caffeine intake is associated with a reduced risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD) in men,

random facts:"Maurice is a city in Sioux County, Iowa, United States, Maurice is located at 42°57′58″N, 96°10′51″W."
huh? i'm right here in singapore! hahas.
snow leopard is uncia uncia! sounds so cute.
though it looks kewl as well. formerly, or still is, mr lim's favourite animal. lols.
"Which panthera has the strongest jaw? grimmjow."
okays, not funny. but the correct one should be the jaguar.
"The jaguar has developed an exceptionally powerful bite, even relative to the other big cats.[3] This allows it to pierce the shells of armoured reptiles and to employ an unusual killing method: it bites directly through the skull of prey between the ears to deliver a fatal blow to the brain.[4]"
i wonder how does e brain juice taste like?
okays, abit random liao.
the coffee from dinner wearing off.
and i've like 3hours of sleep left to me. lesser.
omgg.

BAY RUN COMPLETED!
hahas... damn cool.
finishing this run makes me regret even more not being able to run for the Nike+ 10K. T_T
so, met the group @ city hall at 6.50am. end up drag drag.
missed e flag-off, but no matter.
coz' the starting part was like a gawdamned newpaper big walk.
so nothing much.
it was fun, weaving through people, and cutting people all the way.
makes you feel damn fast. =D
even at the 7 or 8 km mark, i was still breathing quite okay. ehehehahas.
~52minutes!
woot, new PB for 10km.
i don't think i can replicate this kind of timing on e track, coz' it kinda gets boring after 15 to 18 rounds.
lols.
well, there's a ~21km run coming up next week. then the nike+.
went to imeem to search some songs by boys like girls, since its the main attraction then.
and found the great escape's nice. hahas.
random. okays.
so bathe, and tutorials!
1 week of school left.
and somehow it's no cause for celebration.
because it also means the promos are drawing nearer and nearer.
somehow don't want august to end, coz' it would mean odac is going to be put on hold.
>.<

and the cherry sun gave way to melancholic rain,and that turned into sad sad tears upon your face.
haha. met yet another church person on my way home from tuition again.
i guess if what they say about god trying to reach out to us through believers is true, he must be rather pissed with me.
bluntly put, i'm just simply not interested. =X [lols, i'm going to
to me, i don't see the difference between a believer and a non-believer.
all the talk about eternal life and everything..
and being a believer cant put that off, but lets you rest easy that it's not the end after death?
i dunno.
i guess it's just my attitude, living life from day to day, and making the most out of it. [trying! xD]
h'mm.. kinda makes me sound like an obstinate person.
well, maybe i am.
does this count as an agnostic perspective?? hahas.
ah wdv. randomness..
i hate rainy days... =(

The weekends again!somehow i feel as if i'm slogging through the week just for the weekends.
h'mm... nahh. every ODAC training's kewl as well. :)
all subsequent weekend till September's burnt.
Singapore Bay Run, CJODAC Zoo Run, Nike+ Run Volunteer.
and i cleared my requirements for the Bay Run! Yay! =D
finally completed my LVL0 20rounds on wednesday.
did LVL-2 today, coz' wanted to rest my legs, and my tummy ain't exactly happy this morning.
and got mentioned by mr lim. sien.
depends on how he will suan me back bah. "weak!"
hahas.
school-wise, barely keeping abreast with my tutorials.
not exactly completed, but enough to 'smoke' past. hah.
the only lecture i'm sleeping in is physics. >_<
and the irony is that i'm not that good in physics.
concentrate for about 15-20 minutes, stone about 15-20 minutes, and doze the remainder.
zzz. damn kok.
mint does not seem to work as well.
ah. and promos are like 6 weeks off. around there.
like, OMG. wth.
guess i gotta start mugging... anyone wna join me? lols.
though i'll most probably hit the self-study area with odacers.
the self-study area is slowly becoming the "odac area".
LOL.
ending off here then i guess.
bathe, and watch d.gray-man! =D
