I'm still the same book y'all, just on a different chapter - "I Tried" Jin

When I read this article about a new species of tree sloths found in the Caribbean being even slower and placid than its mainland relatives, I was shocked. There's an even more bad ass tree sloth to the 15-18 hour daily sleeping tree sloth... that just cracks me up.



Here's the BBC article: The decade's top ten new species

I decided I needed some stress relief during exam revision, and voila. A drawing of my most favourite One Piece character from my most favourite anime/manga series... One Piece! I'm quite proud to be honest, cause I've always been an average "artist" when it comes to serious pieces of artwork, and horrible when it comes to imitating other people's style, so I'm glade how this turned out.

It's funny how there's this course called HLTH 001 which contributes absolutely no credit at all to my major programme, is really not achieving its purpose at all with the university students over here. Before I blabber on, the course was designed to have people learn how to and actually sustain living a healthy lifestyle.

Unfortunately, a lecture saying "eat diverse and eat healthy" that was only one section among a 2 hour lecture isn't really going to help. Everyday I walk into the canteen, all I see are university students who always order those sugary fizzy drinks with their meals. To this day, it horrifies me how people just order sugary drinks without second thought. But come to think about it, it can't really be helped. For the options of drinks that come with meals, your pretty much stuck with those highly overdosed drinks. Of course some could do what I do (not order drinks at all), but for most, that would be ludicrous.

As for choice of food... oh boy. I used to be a pretty hardcore vegetarian back in Beijing. When I came here, I'm as vegetarian as my options are. It's a real let down when it's more expensive to be healthy (sh-t, my vegetarian food is more expensive than meat? What the hell?), and there are practically non existent options for vegetarian food.

But thankfully for the moment, I'm still mentally healthy (I think). Unfortunately, I've started to grow addicted to McDonalds again, and when I mean again, that was like 7 years ago.
