This is pretty neat.
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute
Work this out as you read ...
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had you r birt hday this year add 1756 ....If you haven't, add 1755.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

Chocolate may boost brain power

Chocolate lovers rejoice. A new study hints that eating milk chocolate may boost brain function.
"Chocolate contains many substances that act as stimulants, such as theobromine, phenethylamine, and caffeine," Dr. Bryan Raudenbush from Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia noted in comments to Reuters Health.
"These substances by themselves have previously been found to increase alertness and attention and what we have found is that by consuming chocolate you can get the stimulating effects, which then lead to increased mental performance."
To study the effects of various chocolate types on brain power, Raudenbush and colleagues had a group of volunteers consume, on four separate occasions, 85 grams of milk chocolate; 85 grams of dark chocolate; 85 grams of carob; and nothing (the control condition).
After a 15-minute digestive period, participants completed a variety of computer-based neuropsychological tests designed to assess cognitive performance including memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem solving.
"Composite scores for verbal and visual memory were significantly higher for milk chocolate than the other conditions," Raudenbush told Reuters Health. And consumption of milk and dark chocolate was associated with improved impulse control and reaction time.
Previous research has shown that some nutrients in food aid in glucose release and increased blood flow, which may augment cognitive performance. The current findings, said Raudenbush, "provide support for nutrient release via chocolate consumption to enhance cognitive performance."
hah . there u have it. eat more chocolate ppl!
me linda n joanna went holland v to buy stuff for joanne heeeeeeee's party first b4 going to her house
it was super funny . her mum left the key in the shoe outside. so we were like digging out the key. we felt like robbers
made the waffle mix and decorate the house with her presents and candles
realised we were there too early. started playing with her stuff and took photos
soon mabel n stef came at 7 .
joanne was still at sentosa. i told her that we were going to some posh place at marina. so she had to go home and change first.
but while lighting the candles , she came home. so we just all rushed into her room. hahahahahaha. it was super super comical. and linda was left in the kitchen.
ate waffles n more waffles with chocolate syrup, ice cream , strawberries, and alot of other stuff
mabel then kicked a candle and spilled the wax on the floor
we then took super long to clean up. hahah
it was so tiring. we even used the french curve n long ruler.
tlked somemore n took lots more photos.
soon we had to leave coz we had church n stuff the next day
it was really a nice gathering. one we havent had for such a long time.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOANNE HEEEEEEEEEEE!

went to lido to watch movie
yeah yeah. i was one of the organisers. and well.. i was late. ahahha
i set my alarm at 1130 but went back to slp till 12. pratically was running to the bus stop
lucky bus 14 came in a short while
ate tcc for lunch. chicken ham n cheese sandwich with mint choc frappe.
YUMMY!
the movie was about 2 n a half hours long
met xiang after the movie. hahaha. we were actually in the same theatre
well the movie was ok. but alot of details were left out. and they found info on the grail at library! not using a handphone..blehh. but at least u could see the story rather than just the words. alot of stuff were hard to imagine. but i guess if u wanted to make the whole book into a movie. it will be super long.so they had to cut alot of stuff.
wlked around far east after that. while the rest went home. but its kinda boring shopping with guys . ahhahaha. will go out with fiona another time. so we can buy the necklace we are both looking for!!! took mrt back with weeyin.
my electrochem tutorial is just infront of me. asking me to complete it. yucks. i hate the whole chem department. wellllll. it was my choice to go nj. i wonder whether it was right or wrong.
