!! my old blog address is used by somebody! haha imagine if some outdated ppl who accidentally click on somebody else's link to me and saw chinese! they must have thought why i became china!

went to CHANG hse to steamboat. was SUPER full and tired and terrible. but charcoal is so adorable! more adorable than her owner! was cutting the chillis with one hand gloved and the other not. yirong actually warned me about the after effects. initially i was hesitating(my big ego), but then she kindly washed it and put it on for me. i must thank her man. cause the hand without the glove, it burned a little bit at dinner. then when i got home, bathed, my fingers on my ungloved hand was BURNING. simply burning until i think my hands are going to have holes in them.
i read/heard somewhere that chilli is actually not hot. it's the seeds that are hot. and the seeds are hot because of some protection mechanism to prevent them from getting eaten by animals. it taste hot because chillis excrete this thing called capsaicin which binds to receptors in our mouth. they sort of "fooled" our brain that it is burning etc etc. the point is, these things called the capsaicin, will be binding to our receptors, which will make us feel the burning pain. and whats the best cure for it? Dairy products!(it is very miscible with alcohol, fats, and oils, but not very miscible with water) yes i did my research. haha
okay back to my story of burning hands. i tried putting my fingers in ice, putting powder, but they're all useless. powder is super useless. what a stupid attempt. ice only solves part of the problem. once the ice melts, you'll feel the pain all over again. so when i thought milk is the best cure, you know what i thought! yes! i dipped my hand into a bowl of HL milk!
and i was thinking. since milk washes off the capsaicin, the milk must have some of those stuff too. and i took a sip. and........... the milk just taste warm. hahahahaha. gosh. okay i know the milk is disgusting. but i was very curious. oh yes! the burning feeling stopped once i take my hand out of the milk=)))

hahaha manutd!!! losing by 1-0 and now up by 1-3!!! still got dumb own goal. okay. shall continue to watch. pw!! sucks totally. my darling not playing lar. dunno why.

oh yes. one last piece of advice: if you're afraid of the burning feeling of cutting chillis, dab on some oil on hand before cutting them up=))

rolling away
