Water drinking.


Today post is all about my water drinking habit. I don't know why I have the feeling to blog about it but my brain just told me to. Lol.

I was used to hate drinking water, you know, cuz it's tasteless, boring and yes, as how you can see it from its appearance.
Previously, it was hardly for me to finish drinking a big bottle of 1 litre of water that my mom prepared for me to bring it to school daily. 
I was so sick when I saw that big bottle, I just hate it, without reason.
I only consume more or less 500ml of water daily. I just ignore what my parents told me about 8 glasses of water (2L) is a must for a person, I thought those were bullshits. -.-

Until I started to realize, my skin is getting dry day by day, not only that, it even cracked easily in a sudden.
Slowly this happened to my heels, it cracked and it took a freaking long time to heal and it cracked again after few days. I don't know why it happened but it just did.

Then I met a girl, who is my lifestyle teacher, I call her Jess
Jess told me that my body is lacked of water, for years.
She can just tell me from the minute she saw me.
Jess: Girl, did you drink water today?
Me: Hmmm, yeah?
Jess: I mean, alot of water, you didn't even achieve 1L yet, right?
Me: How did you know?
Jess: I saw it from your face, and your skin.

I took her words, seriously. She changed my lifestyle, she made me a healthier person.
Frankly it took some months for me to start drinking, water.
From 500ml perday, 750ml per day, 1L per day, and now, 3.5L per day.
There's an effort needed, and I tried, and the changes proved me.
Less constipation, skin gets smoother, feeling more energetic, and surprisingly, I lose weight! 

Water is a natural calorie-burner. You may have heard that sipping ice water is a good way to burn calories and help you lose weight. 
Although this isn't necessarily true for everyone, it has a large amount of truth behind it. 
When you drink cold water, your body needs to work double time to warm up, increasing the rate your metabolism burns up calories.

One of the best benefits of drinking water is that it acts as a natural cleanser. 
Your body attracts many toxins, from food, the environment and other elements. 
Cleaning it out consistently will help keep it healthy and functioning well. 

There was once a classmate told me stop drinking that much of water, it causes me into edema. In chinese,水腫。
I would like to say, no, you are wrong.

A proper way of drinking water will not cause you into edema. In fact, you need to be smart of drinking water everyday.
It is not about you consume 3L of water in 24 hours and that's it.
NO, YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG.

We are all taught that drinking eight cups or two litres of water a day is longstanding advice.
For us, Malaysians, we need much more than that I can say to keep our body hydrate. There is climate influences, the weather is too hot.
During our sleeps, 500ml of water will run off automatically when we breath.
Therefore, drinking a 3L water is super normal that WILL NOT cause me into edema.

Drinking a glass of water after you wake up from bed helps in hydrate and wake your organs for a fresh day start.
Stop drinking a lot of water after 9pm to avoid edema and times of visit toilet during your sleeps.

Start drinking water today! Just water, not anything else. :)

Paris • le troisième et le quatrième jour


从小的其中一个愿望,就是把世界上的全部迪士尼给去一遍。


三年前跟家人去过了香港的迪士尼,2013年,我跟男朋友去了法国的。:D

其实这次去法国最最最主要的就是一定要去到迪士尼,还没买票之前,我询问了男朋友的意见,他有一度不想去还问我是不是还小。他妈的无趣。-.-
然后我就说,那你在门口等我,我自己去。-____-
最后当然还是我赢啦。嘿嘿

入门票,我是跟旅行社订的,其实我很担心会拿不到预定的票,因为他给我confirmation letter全部都很简单,好像很不靠谱。
但事实证明我的担心是多余的。


去迪士尼的路程有点复杂。普通的地铁metro是去不了,得转搭快线列车(RER)才能来到这一站 Gare de Marne la Vallée Chessy 来到法国迪士尼。





排队取票去。


我们的票价是 €68 一人。(1 day/ 2 parks)
2 parks 的意思就是Disneyland® 和 Walt Disney Studios。
所以确定要去的话还是上网订购或者通过旅行社买会便宜很多哦!;)

售票员递给我们地图后还会很细心地跟我们讲解当天会有什么表演。
但是我们都没听懂法国式的英文。-.-







我们什么都没玩,只是坐了这个小小世界。-.-





我上次去香港也只坐了这个。难道是命水?:O

我不是Walt Disney的粉丝,但是既然来到了当然有杀错无放过啦!



个人觉得这个可以整个忽略掉因为根本没有什么可看的啊。
我也不知道为什么我这么爱乱拍也只拍了两张在Walt Disney的照片。-.-

然后我们就待到晚上精彩的烟花表演。
我告诉你吧,迪斯尼的烟花秀是不可以错过的!










就这样,巴黎迪斯尼的旅程就结束了。

第四天,我们去了著名的老佛爷百货 Galeries Lafayette。
其实我很想买个包,但是带的钱实在是不够。T.T
真遗憾!!!



但是还是买到人人都爱的Ladurée macaroons! :D

我跟你说,这个跟KL的根本是天渊之别比不了!!!
巧克力味真的太好吃了。言语无法形容。
但是也贵惨。花了差不多100欧在买macaroons。:OOO

长达4天3夜的法国之旅就这样结束了。
最令我流连忘返的,就是他们的热巧克力,超级无敌好喝!!!
还有甜品,超级无敌好吃!

Paris • le premier et le deuxième jour


哈咯。这篇文章主要是围绕在我和他到巴黎的四天三夜游的第一和第二天。
基本法文会一点点,所以标题要秀一秀。哈哈哈!

为了这趟旅行,我准备了超级多东西耶!也算是突破自己的一步啦。
从来没有自己一个人handle这么多东西。从最基本的订酒店和火车票,到规划行程统统都我在搞定。小小成就感是有啦,呵呵!

我们乘搭了欧洲很著名的穿越海底隧道的eurostar火车从伦敦直达法国。
不会久哦,大约才两个小时的车程。
到了法国巴黎真的是很震撼,从小就很希望去到的一个地方,真的来到了。:D


巴黎车站Gare Du Nord是一个很繁忙的车站,因为它是一个国际型车站。
去英国和德国的火车都可以在这里坐得到。
在欧洲搭火车旅游真的很方便,当然,火车票时有一点小贵啦。

第一天到达的时候已经是接近黄昏了,而且我们不熟当地路线该怎么走,只好从车站搭了德士取到了酒店。
其实我在家里做了research,我们的酒店离车站并不远,但是德士司机却带我们兜路并charge了我们40欧(马弊160左右)。心痛死!D;

算了,我们就入住了酒店,然后随意在附近吃了快餐就休息,准备明天早上出发观光我所编排好的行程。
法国肯德基好贵,而且选择超级少。哎

第二天在酒店吃了早餐后,我们询问了酒店柜员我们的第一站 - 巴黎铁塔的地铁(metro)该怎么去然后就浩浩荡荡的出发了。
拿着地铁图和路线图的感觉好好噢,有那种自食其力的感觉。嘿嘿


这就是我们手上的地铁图。很复杂吧?
但是其实很简单,你只需要知道你要去哪一站,然后依颜色路线去就行了。
巴黎铁塔的那一站就叫做Trocadéro,路线是metro 9绿黄色的路线。



来到这里要千万小心,因为会有很多黑人在贩卖锁匙圈之类的纪念品。
他们会直接递给你然后要你买,你买了,第二个黑人又会向你走来又叫你买。
我们整整是遇到了这样的黑人,然后叫他帮我们拍照。
这合照值最少3欧元啊!D;

从这里,你可以朝着巴黎铁塔的方向走,走到塔下拍照。







然后可以到Champ de Mars这个公园走走看看,观摩这雄伟的塔。
在这公园里,旅客也必须要非常的小心,因为我们也被骗买了一幅15欧的画。T.T

之后,我就一直吵着要去凯旋门Arc de Triomphe
我上网查过,从巴黎铁塔可以走路就到凯旋门,所以我就一直吵着男朋友要去那边。嘿嘿
他很笨蛋,竟然不知道凯旋门是什么还一直给我去那些奇怪的名字,什么凯伦门之类的。-.-


有没有人看过马德琳这部卡通啊?
我超级喜欢她噢!就是因为这部卡通我才知道凯旋门的存在。
我一直跟男朋友说马德琳这个事情,他就一直跟我说不知道不知道。D;


我说我要去,他还是会带我去啦。嘻嘻 ❤
摸摸索索问问路人,我们就到达凯旋门啦!




很壮观有没有?
请了别的游客帮我们拍了合影我们又继续往下一个目标前进。


掰掰凯旋门!

我们沿着街道一直走一直走,走到肚子饿了,就随意找了间餐厅吃东西。
法国人的服务态度都很好,尽管我们不会说法语,他们还是很热情地招待我们。
还送了本书给我,还主动帮我们拍照。


我很怕冷,就一直穿着那件让我体型看起来增加了五倍的衣服。D;

吃饱了,我们有随意走走看看,无意间就来到了这里。
我行程里有说到要去Champs-Élysées这条街道,但是一直没找到在哪里所以就算了。
之后才发现原来我们去了凯旋门后走的那条街就是著名的香榭丽舍大街嘛!


不知道这是什么地方,没被归纳在行程里,但是无意间来到了拍照时必须要的!
看了看地图,原来我们来到了Place de la Concorde


这地方再往内走,就是Jardin des Tuileries,也就是罗浮宫Musée du Louvre前面的一个公园。
我不会欣赏艺术画,而且当时心里一直在想着要去爱情锁桥,所以就没再走进去罗浮宫。

问了问路人锁桥的所在地,然后我们又走了过去。
路途中,我们还看到了翻版的锁桥!!!


我不要翻版的!我要去正版的啦。:(((
然后又继续走...




这艘船很熟悉的感觉!冲上云霄有见过!!*好像是啦哈哈*
迈向目的地...终于找到了!:DDD



很满很满有没有!




我们也买了一把锁锁在上面哦!
很难锁耶,因为整个桥太满了。D;

去了锁桥,我们就打算回酒店了。回家途中,还是经过了一下罗浮宫Musée du Louvre
总算是没有白来巴黎吧?:P


就这样,我们结束了第二天的行程。

第三天我们去了迪斯尼哦!


Stay tuneddd! ❤
