Reminiscence on Softball.

There was once, I never thought I would understand the game of softball. But now, I can look back with pride as I even achieved a honourable position at the state level by representing Petaling. The sweet sound of the bat hitting the ball, the great pleasure upon catching fast moving balls, running from base to base like you've been chased by a mad dog. Not to mention, we've bonded well among the players and teammates turned to best friends. Totally miss playing.

Hiccup ..!

Ever wonder how hiccups come about?



Is it true that hiccups are caused by the lack of oxygen?
Scaring/surprising someone can cure one's hiccup?
Drinking in an upside down manner can bring hiccup to an end?

I'm here to unveil general informations on hiccups.

[MYTH?]

Is it true that hiccups are caused by the lack of oxygen?

MYTH.

Scaring/surprising someone can cure one's hiccup?

TRUE.

Drinking in an upside down manner can bring hiccup to an end?

TRUE

What? Hiccup? What the heck is that?

Hiccup is an involuntary spasm of the diaphragm ; typically this repeats several times a minute. The sudden rush of air into the lungs causes the epiglottis to close, creating the "hic" noise.


When usually hiccup occur?

• Eating too quickly
• Taking a cold drink while eating a hot meal
• Eating very hot or spicy food
• Laughing vigorously/ coughing
• Drinking alcoholic / carbonated beverage to excess
  
• Crying out loud
• Some smoking situations where abnormal inhalation occur
  

Actually, hiccup is not that bad after all..

Hiccups actually aids peristalsis of food.It also dislodge foreign pieces of food, which have become stuck in the oesophagus, or which are traveling too slowly. When a piece of food is swallowed that is too large for the natural peristalsis of the oesophagus to move the food quickly into the stomach, the hiccup reflex takes place to apply external pressure on the food.

OMG! BUT BUT HOW DO I OVERCOME HICCUPS?!

• Concentration on one's hiccups - using sheer will to stop them
• Swallowing a spoonful of sugar (not recommended for diabetic people)
  
• Swallowing three times while holding one's breath
• Swallowing a teaspoon of vinegar in one gulp
  
• Eating an ice cube (PICK ON A REASONABLE CUBE SIZE)
  
• Attempting to drink a glass of water 'upside down'
• Drinking a glass of water with a spoon touching one's temple
• Put a cold ice pack on your head and drink a glass of water
• Swallowing a tablespoon full of peanut butter
• Swallowing a scoop of ice cream slowly (the yummiest remedy)
• Breathing slowly and deeply in while thinking 'breathing out' and breathing slowly and fully out while thinking 'breathing in'
• Holding one's breath while optionally squeezing one's stomach
• Breathing deeply through the nose, then exhaling slowly through the mouth
• Exhaling all the air from one's lungs and holding one's breath while swallowing water or saliva
• Smoking a cigarette (WHAT THE?)
  
• Blowing up a balloon
• Inducing sneezing
• In babies, hiccups are usually immediately stopped by breastfeeding(why doesn't this apply for grown ups?!) or simply by insertion of a finger into the baby's mouth.
• Take your right hand, and push it on your left arm.
• Pinch your ear lobe and breath normally.
• Giving the person suffering from hiccups a sudden and unexpected fright (for example, by shouting at them)

Sorry for such a brief post as I came up with the idea of posting this when I got hiccup moments ago.

Hope your next hiccup would be a more forgiving experience for you =).

Sweet Tooth.

Holy smoly.

So today was DJ Futsal Tournament.
Gay gay gay.
TFD lost at the early stage of quarterfinals.
We've got numerous chances but Lady Luck must have hated us lately.

Anyway to all other teams, credits to them they did well.
and Baby Blue Butterfly was the surprise of the tournament.
They got into the finals thanks to PhanJon the Heroic goalkeeper and SerSiang equalising goal in the semifinals when he just got sub in! Luck was shining brightly on them and they also did work hard.
So if we do play against the Baby Blue Butterflies some other time, please do give us Donkeys some chance?
Oh and well done to Team God who was the overall winner of the tournament ; Good job guys.

So yeah, I don't have decent pictures, so I don't think I'll go on any further.
This might be TFD's last time participating in a futsal tournament, but I definitely hope it isn't.

But please do visit TFD's site for a proper review on the tournament done by Daniel.

"My Precioussssss"

Unlike every single human being who are able to blink their eyes, I watched Lord Of The Rings for the FIRST time 2 days ago.
IT WAS SO DAMN GOOD.

Thanks to ChoonSeng who lent me his DVDs, I spent my "Merdeka" day off watching all 3 of the series ;

The Fellowship of The Ring ; Its not very heart-pounding, but this is the base to every happening in the coming movie.

The Two Towers ; The scene of the defense at Helms' Deep was FUIYOH.

The Return of The King ; The Hobbits were extra MIGHTY in this movie. Very good movie.
I didn't want the movie to end haha!

Don't you think the ORCS are DAMN COOL?

Yeaaaah that's what I'm talking about.
