Today, I sat for Sejarah and KH test (it'll be so cool if it's Kingdom Hearts test, but its not). It's okay lah. History was a killer.
Now, some facts:
Here are some things you may not know about your mother advices.
1) Have an umbrella ready before the rain comes. This is the same as "Sediakan payung sebelum hujan" proverb in BM. But if there's a thunderstorm, your umbrealla's more like a lightning rod than a harmless shelter. You'll have a higher chance of getting struck by lightning. So, do you still think that's a wise proverb? Might as well not use umbrella during a thunderstorm. Sure, you might get exposed to low temperatures like 20 degrees Celcius or less, but if you get hit by a lightning, we're talking about a temperate few times as hot as the sun. If you wanna avoid the rain, just find a closed shelter like a house, with cemented walls and covered celings. Bus stops won't help.
2) Swallowing a chewing gum would be a last thing you ever wanna do. Is it true that it'll get lodged in your alimentary canal? According to some research, swallowing a chewing gum is just like swallowing other stuff. In the end, it goes down the other side and get flushed into the sewage system. But, obviously, I don't wanna be a guinea pig to test this out.
3) Cereals are healthy food. Are they? According to a newspaper I read the other day, a lot of brands of cereal contains a huge amount of sugar content. And we all know, too much sugar is never good. So, take this as an advice, always check the labels. You may not know some food might have dog faeces as an ingredient. Okay, okay, I'm just joking about the dog poop.
Hmm... here are some more facts:
4) Straighten your arm in front of you and pinch the skin below your elbow. Do you feel any pain? Well, maybe a slight pain lah, but not as bad as pinching your forearm right? I think you know why, but if not, then here's why: There aren't many pain receptors under your elbow.
5) Too much water can kill. Here's something form Wikipedia:
Water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by over-consumption of water. Normal, healthy (both physically and nutritionally) individuals have little to worry about accidentally consuming too much water. Nearly all deaths related to water intoxication in normal individuals have resulted either from water drinking contests, in which individuals attempt to consume more than 10 liters (3 gallons) of water over the course of just a few minutes, or long bouts of intensive exercise during which electrolytes are not properly replenished, yet massive amounts of fluid are still consumed.
I'll see if I can find any more cool facts. So, till then, bye
