Looking Like That

Hello (: Because I have finally gotten (and remembered) the username and password from Mel, here's a mediacorp actress who looks like Lou! Sam found it and there are more pictures over at her blog entry! By the way, Lou thinks that the actress is darn ugly and well, you can point out the striking and undeniable resemblance between the two of them (:

And if you still can't see it, here! (Yes, I have no life)

Alright. Sorry for posting such a useless post. Haha. Maybe there will be CIP pictures or pictures of Jo's dinner soon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JO! (:

And thank you to those who planned it (: Shaodan and Tony's birthdays are coming up soon! Enjoy your weekend!

Important CIP message

Jurong Centre: I know you guys want to do the mural from wednesday to friday but since you cannot gurantee that you all can finish it in one shot, the principal would prefer that we do it in the June Holidays as she feels that unfinished mural is quite ugly. So i guess the painting is off for now.

Bukit Batok Centre: I have heard rumors that somebody told you all that the principal wants all 11 people to be down at one time and since only a few can make it each time you all have decided to "abandon" the centre. I have discussed with the Principal and she said that she have never said anything like this and that this is incorrect information. So there is no such thing as abandoning the centre and everyone stays in their respective centres. I am very angry at the person who spread this false message.

Clar.

sleep and how we (teenagers) need it

Just a random article you can use for GP and just something I thought the class needs to justify why we sleep in class and stuff.

What are the Facts about Sleep and Teens?

* Sleep is vital to your well being, as important as the air you breathe, the water you drink and the food you eat. It can even help you to eat better and manage the stress of being a teen.

* Biological sleep patterns shift toward later times for both sleeping and waking during adolescence -- meaning it is natural to not be able to fall asleep before 11:00 pm.

* Teens need about 9 1/4 hours of sleep each night to function best (for some, 8 1/2 hours is enough). Most teens DO NOT get enough sleep -– one study found that only 15% reported sleeping 8 1/2 hours on school nights.

* Teens tend to have irregular sleep patterns across the week -- they typically stay up late and sleep in late on the weekends, which can affect their biological clocks and hurt the quality of their sleep.

* Many teens suffer from treatable sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, insomnia, restless legs syndrome or sleep apnea.

Sleep Deprivation has Serious Consequences

Not getting enough sleep or having sleep difficulties can:

* Limit your ability to learn, listen, concentrate and solve problems. You may even forget important information like names, numbers, your homework or a date with a special person in your life;

* Make you more prone to pimples. Lack of sleep can contribute to acne and other skin problems;

* Lead to aggressive or inappropriate behavior such as yelling at your friends or being impatient with your teachers or family members;

* Cause you to eat too much or eat unhealthy foods like sweets and fried foods that lead to weight gain;

* Heighten the effects of alcohol and possibly increase use of caffeine and nicotine; and

* Contribute to illness, not using equipment safely or driving drowsy.

What does Teen Sleep have to do with School Start Times?

Is your brain still on the pillow when school starts?

If teens need about 9 1/4 hours of sleep to do their best and naturally go to sleep around 11:00 pm, one way to get more sleep is to start school later.

Teens' natural sleep cycle puts them in conflict with school start times. Most high school students need an alarm clock or a parent to wake them on school days. They are like zombies getting ready for school and find it hard to be alert and pay attention in class. Because they are sleep deprived, they are sleepy all day and cannot do their best.

Schools that have set later bell times find that students do not go to bed later, but get one hour more of sleep per school night, which means five hours more per week.

Enrollment and attendance improves and students are more likely to be on time when school starts. Parents and teachers report that teens are more alert in the morning and in better moods; they are less likely to feel depressed or need to visit the nurse or school counselor.
