Entry 23: A lil thought

我不知道把什么摆在第一位最好
是亲情呢?爱情呢?还是自己。。
我曾经随着别人的角度和观念认为亲情是一种缘分
是一种不能抹杀的事实
是一种一辈子再也不会有第二个的事实

然后随着成长,我认识了爱情
我奋不顾身地向爱情投降
自我陶醉的爱情河里
慢慢地,我觉得爱情战胜亲情
就算世界末日,我铁定最后想要见到的人
是自己的挚爱

但故事还没结束
我想到了更多更多
想到了自己
一个我永远都必须面对的人
我可以不对任何人交代
但始终逃不了对自己的厌恶、责备和内疚
看过一本佛书,此书令我感悟
要善待别人,必须先善待自己
要爱惜别人,必须先懂得爱惜自己
看似简单的两句话
却是世间上最难达到的事

白发的根源绝对不只这些吧
人人都说钱乃身外之物
但活在现实的我们能不管吗?
电视剧里的情节
即使没有钱也一样能获得幸福、快乐的情节
根本不可能重现在此时此刻
没钱的烦恼只有亲生经历过才能明白
辛苦的到处寻找能过得好些的办法
痛苦的看着爱你的亲人为了撑起整个家
不惜吃尽酸甜苦辣都没一句怨言
你过意得去吗?
你快乐得起来吗?
这叫幸福吗?

狗狗是人最好的陪伴者
但狗能和人比吗?
一个人的孤单
难道对着狗狗就能解闷吗?
它也许会安静地听你诉苦
但它绝对不可能陪你聊天说地
不可能答应你的任何疑惑
它也许能陪你散散步
但它绝对不可能牵着你的手
跟上你的步伐
走在你的身边
所以朋友是重要的
人的一生不能缺少友情

这简单又复杂的思绪
你能了解吗。。?

Entry 22: SG Terrorism?!

IT'S JUST A HOAX!!! -Editted


[Taken exactly from the text sent to me]
  • Forwarded from my mym:
    Kindly spread the news to yr friends. If possible, do not go Bugis these few days. Terrorists may plan bomb around that area. This msg was forwarded from my friend's army friend who said they're alr on standby. Not sure how true but a friend was at Bugis today & there were really many policemen

True enough, no one knows how true this message is except for those army people who has received any insides from the higher positions personnel.

Still, better to be safe than sorry. But how much can we prevent if they are really all out to crash us? The thought of terrorism brings shivers..
I know clearly the drastic effects and how petrifying terrorism can be after my module on global issues. I did research on it and everytime I felt it is coming to us sooner or later.

I recalled what one of my friends told me..
Some fortune teller (if I'm not wrong) told him that in coming 2010, it would be the end of the world.

Imagining how much we would tell our boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband that the last person we want to be with is them..
I can't imagine how will that be true if my heart does have an important place for family..

If terrorists strikes Singapore, what will happen to many of us? We're only living in a small red dot. Just kept pondering what's with the minds of all these terrorists..

Fancy upholding their "god" when all they do is killing the innocents.. Who are they to judge who is to live or die? Isn't it ironic how they place "god" in their first place and yet doing all the killings just to satisfy I-don't-know what? They don't really have a direct and reasonable purpose. They enjoy killing isn't it? They don't mind sacrificing themselves for something NOT worth. Are they thinking that after all those years they lived, this is what they are paying for? I felt really baffled. So, the fact is they don't want to live long?

Entry 21: END of YEAR ONE!!!

I'll officially announce the end of my year one in polytechnic!!
wooohooo~
The one and only paper is OVER!
And I'm relieved! =D

Wish me luck for my results on 20th March!! ^^v

By the way, a lil incident..

Many of us finished the paper within an hour. And were all waiting for the clock to tick slowly to 11am.

Then, around 10.30am, Mr Teacher came to us and asked if we have finished.
when he walked over to me..

He asked: Have you finished?
ME: Ya..?
HE: You want to wait until 11?
ME: (stunned and thinking .. so there is a choice?) Hmm.. no?
HE: You can submit your paper and go if you have finished you know?
ME: (OPEN EYES WIDELY) Really ah?!

Then he walked to another teacher.. and I turned to Karimah and we were having the puzzled face cos we never knew we could leave after an hour!

And yes, after the teacher B announced, many of us submitted and left (:




But it's not really
the end..

Entry 20: What Are You Trying To Hide?!

As mentioned, I stayed at home to wait for Boney yesterday.
He texted me that he has dismissed from school and was leaving school already.
Then I messaged him after some time and he told me he was still at Westmall buying CubiCard.
I was VERY pissed off when he said he was alone and next moment he kept wanting to hang the phone.

Due to my resistance, he told me to wait a minute.. And the other end, I heard a guy's voice.
I didn't catch what they were saying but I was mad at him that he lied that he was alone and next he said that was his friend!

Obviously he gave me a very suspicious feeling.. It was totally as if he was trying to hide something!!

I hung the phone without saying bye and he called back after a few minutes asking if I was angry.
I told him it was no laughing matter (he was giggling at the other end)
I have nuts idea bout what he was up to.
I heard the kuku bird "whistling" (If you know what bird I am refering to, NOT penis)
I suspected a lil if he would be lying and that he might already be reaching home.. But I was too angry to think too much >.<
around 10 minutes later.. Boney opened the room door..

Idiotic fellow made me feel so stupid.
LOL

So who was that "friend"??
Answer: The Ice Cream Man xD

*laughs*
I love every single thing he does for me..

Expensive things may catch my eyes
Simple things may gain my appreciation
BUT, only HIS sincerity can win my heart..
He brightens up my day and definitely adds that BIG SM(:LE onto my face..


I'm glad to know..
I have chosen the right one.. ^^v

Entry 19: The Slimming Walk

[Best of his Sm(:les..]

Done revising all the chapters.. Will do a run through of the notes either later or tomorrow (:
I had a nice study week yo!

Hope paper will be smooth-going for me ya!! Wish me luck and all the best! MMUACKS!

Anyway, did I mention I WALKED from

CHINATOWN -> CITYHALL -> RAFFLES -> DHOBY GHAUT?!

Ok.. Ask bullshit.. I didn't mention it at all I know xD

Went on a "scavenger hunt" with Boney and his groupmates on Tuesday. It was meant to be a group project-like thing but they never ever refuse to let me tag along! wee-o-wee!
Best best! hahas

I was the photographer for them for that day.
Took photos of them with..


1. Indian Temple
2. Chinese Temple
(The temples were specified in their hunt worksheet but I don't remember the exact)
3. Merlion
4. Victoria Concert Hall
5. WHITE Sir Stanford Statue (Sg River)
6. Padang Field
7. Cenotaph (Glorious Dead)
8. War Memorial (the chopstick-like tower)
9. Long Bar
10. Cathay (near Dhoby)

OMG.. We thought it was OVER.
But NO!~!!
On wednesday, which was yesterday, they realised that they took 3 WRONG photos! Ok.. or should I say ..
instead of the FRONT of the merlion, we took the BACK?
instead of the padang field with SUPREME COURT as BACKGROUND, we took the opposite side? Grasses?
instead of the LONG BAR (we were even pointing and saying bout it when we walked pass on Tues) we took RAFFLES HOTEL!

What the seek siak sook suck slimming walk eh? LMAO.

Ok.. anyway it is REALLY over now.. ^^v

Went to Mac at Bras Basah yesterday after correcting all the wrong ones..
Wayne is proud to be the outsource for Boney's group (:

Posters and Invitation cards that I designed specially for their upcoming theme party are finally processed into the actual thing!
Yippees! =D

I'm happy for my own creation (: and I hope they really like and appreciate them ^^

Will be home the whole day and not out to wait for Boney to dismiss from school as usual..
Boney's mum accompanied his sis back to the hospital for a return checkup after the cycts op.

Ok.. a lengthy post shall end here..
Happy day ahead for everyone! =D

Entry 18: That guy

Few days back, I dreamt of this guy.
I know I have been keeping him hanging nowhere since CNY.
I'm sorry.

I admit you are a nice guy
You tried to give me all that you can to make me smile
You were there when I needed someone
But still.. Some things just never meant to last..

I can't stop the rising guilt
Every night I fear
I had enough and I guess I have to stop
I'm sorry to leave you hanging there without notice

Yes, you tried calling me..
I don't see a reason to explain further
Be it intentional or unintentional
It doesn't matter

That short short period together
I felt I was such a pampered and blessed girl
Yet materials doesn't weigh as much
This feeling of yours is growing too much
I can't breathe..

My heart only has a place for one
And yes, I chose him
Happiness is not like you said
I believe as long as him and I fight for it
No matter how many obstacles might come
No matter how many flaws
We'll find ways to solve it

Lastly, though we're not even friends now
I really hope one day when we meet again
You would still greet me with the warmest smile
And the friendliest "Hi" (:

Entry 17: Opportunity BUT no $$

Received a call from London Weight Management.
I went for a trial last year..
Didn't sign up for anything of course xD


There is this promotion of 5sessions I think..
It is around 300+ inclusive of GST.
Well.. 300 plus for me previously is not a prob I supposed?
But definitely NOT now =(


Sadded.
Weight increases with age..
Fats doesn't keep me warm..
WHAT IS THE POINT?!
=X


OKok.. Just had my dinner (:
No hungry no angry!
craps.



Shall end off here~!
BYE!

Entry 16: 6 9-liner combined lyrics ending off with 7 words..

When it's love you make
then it's love you take.
I'll be there when you need me.
When honor's at stake,
this vow I will make:
that it's all for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
the one you need,
'cause when it's all for one it's one for all.



Every time I look at you
Baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
You can take this world away
You're everything I am
Just read the lines upon my face
I'm all about lovin' you
Ask me how we've come this far
The answer's written in my eyes



Everyday I see you
With loving eyes
I just wanna hold you
And make you mine
If you listen to me now sweet baby
I'll make a promise that you can hold me to
No matter how far
And no matter how wide
I promise baby that I'll stay by your side


Never find another lover sweeter than you
l never find another lover more precious than you
You are the only one my everything and for you this song I sing
You're all that I've ever known, your smile on your face, all I see is glow
You turned my life around, You picked me up when I was down,
You're all that I've ever known, when you smile your face glows,
You picked me up when I was down
My life, I pray for someone like you,
I thank God that I finally found you


Heaven must be holding on
To all the love I'm feeling now
Here we are this is a moment
Hearts together, hands across the night
One forever, finally in sight
I don't know what brought us here
I don't know where this feeling comes from
My eyes are open, my heart can see
I was born to give my love to you


Over and over I've dreamed of this night
Now you're here by my side
You are next to me
I want to hold you and touch you taste you
And make you want no one but me
I wish that this kiss could never end
You are all I desire
I never want to let go


Baby, You Are All That I Need..

Entry 15: Valentines '09

To sum up my day..
I'm happy (:
Simple things like just plainly going out blahx3 makes me feel a whole lot different.
Maybe cos we don't go out that often? x)

Anyway, Boney bought me my solutions which I needed and I bought him his Cubicard again (:

Were at town since 5plus in the evening.
Walking around IS tiring.. Wondered why many girls receive roses on V.Day.
Then, I turned to Boney and said that I wanted a tree that blossoms!
=D
Can I carry the tree to town?!
O.o

Ok. Mission Impossible!
xP

Slacked around.. or rather, sat down to rest our feet.
At the same time, "bio-ing" other girls..
Looking at how they dress and comparing their boobs. LMAO.
Of course, lookouts for babes too!
=D

Isn't it better to talk about and see together instead of him secretly looking at other girls from the corner of his eyes? ^^

By the way, I think I need a lil dieting.
I know I'll say this for so so so many times but never get it done.
And I bet I won't too now cos EXERCISE is never in my time-table.
xP

Nvm. Shall see how..
Til the day Boney doesn't want me anymore, I'll stay as what I am now..
At least for now, I don't see a need to mind too much
hehe


Okok.. I'm super tired..
Before I end off this post..
I hope everyone has enjoyed this very lovely day with friends, families or boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife.
I wish Boney and I would last forever and start a happy family on our own
Of course, that means.. Stable income (x


GOODNIGHTZ!

Entry 14: Nutella 情人节的前一天!

I can't imagine I "nutella" for an hour!
0.0!

Anyway, kinda tiring.. and too chocolaty =X

The once and only time I suppose.. at least the first?
情人节的前一天。。

Heard that there was a boy, 3, who was drowned in the pond at Farmart?
Was wondering how could the parents be happily enjoying their food without keeping an eye on their lil son..
Supposedly there will always be people near that unopened pond prawning, how could they not hear a kid dropping into the waters?

It must be heartwrenching for any parents who found their child dead at young age.
x(

Then, Boney's mom told me bout the substitution thingy that you can't don't believe it exists..
I've heard not just once.. And what she just told me was something I never knew

So yeps, Wayne will share with you too!


Case Study 1:
Max was doing his revisions at home as exam is around the corner.
Then, he heard the door bell rang and went to open it.
Outside stood the civil defence people who requested to use his window as the boy directly above his level who was about the same age as Max wanted to commit suicide.
Max agreed and curiously stood to check out what was happening.

He told the civil defence people that he recognised that boy and suggested that he had a way to help.

As you expected, the boy was saved.
They thanked Max..
But before they could reach the ground level, Max was found lying dead on the ground.
-Suicidal? Or?-


Case Study 2:
Jas had 2 brothers. Elder's John and youngest's Mike.
Both brothers have the ability to see things that do not exist physically.

They have an uncle who always wanted to commit suicide.
So, they decided to visit him.
Upon reaching Uncle's residence area, Mike felt really uneasy. He sensed something really really "dirty". They went up to his unit and shockingly, they saw not just one but many wandering souls waiting to look for a substitute.
Nope, not just males..

Their Uncle then said he wanted to go down to get some drinks for them as it was rather a surprise visit cos he was not informed. Instead of walking through the balcony and down the stairs, Uncle wanted to jump down from the balcony.
Mike saw this "guy" happily lifting his Uncle, and immediately, he called out for his Uncle.
Again, his uncle was saved.

Jas knew both brothers sensed and saw something wrong.. So she told Mike to accompany Uncle to get the drinks as she was afraid that those physically "not-there" things will pester Uncle.

Mike saw the anger of that "guy". Their eyes met. And Mike felt really petrified.
Given no choice, he had to go.
Not long after he started his bike, he crashed onto a tree and died.
-Suicidal? Or?-



Now.. Tell me.. if saving a person means taking your life.. will you still do it?

I know it is hard to leave that person in the lurch especially if you see it.. But if that person is of no relations to you, please please.. Don't try to call back that person.

I know I know.. it is like having a metal heart, ignoring others, just for own sake.

But don't we only have ONE life? And don't we too have a family and people who care and love us?


I am NOT that noble.. And I believe such things do exists..
If you disagree, by all means..Ignore this.

But of course, if you think you lead a "strong" life, that is to say you won't die that easily, you can try calling back. (provided you are REALLY not afraid of leaving your loved ones behind)

Call me superstitious..
I admit (:

Entry 13: Steph Meyer


Many people wanted these ..
And Boney's Sis has it for free! (ok, I JUST realised.. it's not free.. LOL)
Okok. Just curious why so many people are putting this in their wishlist.
I might be stupid to not think of the reason even though it is like hotselling..
Anyway, even if I wanna borrow from his sis to read, I have to do it after 21st Feb~!
Else my mind will be occupied and MIXED up with relevant (sch's) and irrelevant (Meyer's) stuff. =X

I'm BORED! and farting.. (ok no link)
A day at home is freakishly boring!
I can't set my eyes on BOOKS, not to mention revisions..
I just can't really study at home.. That's what happen to many others too isnt it? (:
okok. tomorrow when Boney go school, I'll go do my revision at Mac again!
See ya! ^^v

Entry 12: Battle Between T and J.

Went through a previous post's comments on Sis's blog.
There is sure things to talk, argue and vent on eh?
LOL

Regarding the part where people commented that J will "expose" her to her BF, in this case, Martin..
I felt really hilarious..
Especially when Sis replied that "IF he is still MY BF"

Ok, I know it will be hurting for M.
His sis, my gf, Mich.. did ask me how will things progress?
Will there be a chance to reconcile?
Well, my answers will be vague. And true enough, I have no idea.
But what sis have analysed, I know things don't just end without a reason.
Definitely NOT because of THAT reason which J might be happily clinging on thinking it will help her greatly in her position in MY house. -or whatever

There is more than meets the eye to M and my sis..
I mean how far they are progressing..
How things work between them..
How they feel toward each other (not affectionally)
If you don't get what I mean in the previous sentence..
Simply put.. The trust and security (:
What's the highest level they have attained in both aspects?
They know clearly themselves (Sis knows herself well enough I bet)

As for the "stealing/taking" of stuff..
I'm SUPER GLAD that I am NOT staying at home with much of my clothes already moved to Boney's house.
Happily having MY OWN cupboard.. with only MY stuff..
hahas

But of course, if I ever see my stuff on her or in bro's cupboard..
I'll make sure she pay badly (:
I don't mind if you at least ask me or return my stuff..
But definitely and surely, NOT keeping it to yourself

I'm pretty ok with her initially, not til everything has happened.
Everyone must have heard some phrase about breaking trust in just few seconds and building it back again takes years right?
Pardon me cos I don't know the exact phrase xD
But still, no matter how she regretted, how she wanted to amend to it..
It will take not just one or two years.. It takes a LIFETIME..
Especially when things just don't seem to cease ^^


Anyway, drop that.
Boney's tummy is not feeling very well.
Didn't attend school of course.
Managed to have some revisions yesterday
ALONE..
Or maybe not alone?
Lol..
There was this guy from Shatec who asked me to look after his bag while he go get a drink downstairs at the Mac counter..
The problem is.. normally, we will just place our bag on the chair we were sitting..
BUT for him.. he placed it on the chair at my side.. The seat directly opposite mine -__-

By then, I was wondering will he ask to sit with me?
Okok.. drama mama.. true enough.
Then came his group of friends..
Blah x3
After he knew I was waiting for my bf..
He, after a few minute, changed back to sit beside his friend at another table (:

What an encounter. LOL
Told Boney bout it.. And he jokingly said I flirt around x)

Recently, I have been thinking about marriage! woolala..
LMAO.
I know it is kinda ridiculous..
But well, do felt a lil empty somewhere somehow..
Used to have the idea of having a baby around 25 yrs of age.
However, considering all the things I have to worry about having a child to take care of..
I know it won't work.
So, yesterday night.. I told Boney that I wish that we could get marry soon?
No intrusion of babies I mentioned.
I bet he doesn't want it so early too..
I don't mean NOW la huh.. Don't misinterpret my words ^^v

Okok.. now, home's left Boney, me and his grandma.
Gotta go bathe and dig Boney go see doc..
Hmm.. or should I just bring "Doc" one of the seven dwarfs in front of him?

Entry 11: Playhouse Disney/Michael J.

Playhouse Disney IS indeed educational!
HIGHLY recommended for children to watch..
Not like those meaningless cartoons (though entertaining)
=X
By the way, I'm watching it from SCV under channel 34.
I have no idea if it applies to all but you can try? (:


Yesterday, Mr Bone wanted to listen to the song "You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson.

Then I recalled that there were 2 people who told me that the version sang by 周定纬 is nicer.
(Supposedly one of the participants in some singing competition)

So, well I did listen to it.. really carefully..
But.. I don't find it any nicer than Mic's?

Both Boney and Meaty prefer the original singer (:

Was then wondering what happened to Mic?
He, who was born a rich cute black kid, with million in his account
Contributed greatly to the children
Yet ended up "addicted" to plastic surgeries
Had his face from black to white and a "broken" nose
Heard that there was a part of the news whereby Mic wanted to drop a child from the window?
Just vague memories.. Not very sure either.

Indeed, $$ can't buy a happy childhood
Never can it buy happiness and warmth that a child or anyone else yearns for

Gotta start revisions asap..

Prolly tomorrow? (:

Night sexies!


Where is Michael Jackson?

Entry 10: Love Of Siam

Ok.. Let's make it a ten then..


Recommending LOVE OF SIAM!
Go catch this 17 parts movie on youtube or whatever..

It is a story about two boys..
Joyful, Happy, Loving, Sad, Touching..

Blog song is the theme song of this movie..
Lyric goes like this:

If I told you that this song is meant for you, would you believe me?
It may not sound as beautiful as other songs
You may not know that love songs couldn’t be written out
If we didn’t have the feelings of love
But for you, sweetheart it all came out easily
You may have heard thousands of love ballads
Some may touch your heart though they mean nothing more..
But you’ll know when you listen to this song, it was meant just for you
You would know by heart what I meant, and we would be there for each other
--
[chorus]
Let the song play while we’re walking together on that path
All I hear is just the voice of you and me
We’ll be together for so long
As mentioned in the poetry
That where there is love, there is always hope
Your love has lightened up my heart
You are my destiny
--
Love holds up many truths to look for
And I have wasted my lifetime searching for them
But not so long ago, I realized when I get close to you
If my life is a rhythm
You’re the beautiful lyrics to this song that has touched my heart
--
We walk along the way
All I’ve heard is the voice of only you and me
We walk along the way together
All I hear is just the voice of you and me

Entry 9: We live together for 17 months and still counting..

HAPPY 17th MONTHSARY TO BONEY AND MEATY!
=D

I know I am a day late .. and I only realised duing night yesterday..
Totally forgotten about it..

Anyway..
Just a lil dedication to Boney:

When days passed.. followed by months..
Then to our one year celebration..
Til now.. I'm glad that we stayed together for so long

There were times I felt like giving up
And times when I felt disappointed and helpless
But you are the one who never ever let go
You never, not even once, let loose your grip

We had our quarrels
We had disagreements
We had the ups and downs
And we braved through the storms

After these months..
I learned to realise
Every single thing you reprimanded
Your eyes filled with concern I felt so warm

Baby, I apologise a million billion times
For I made your heart ached and shattered not just once
I give you my words that for as long as I live
I am never gonna stray anymore
My heart will stay with yours for eternal

I love you..

Entry 8: HARMS & DANGERS of SOYA!

I URGED YOU PEOPLE TO READ THIS WITH PATIENCE! -ESP. FEMALES!

(FWD email message)
Something to take note of. This is my true story, nothing altered.These are facts, as they relate to my experience, my opinions based on what I have read and felt. I am relating them to warn other young health-conscious women who are unwittingly harming themselves.

In 1989, I graduated from high school in Texas and couldn't wait to hit the big college city. One of the changes I wanted to make was to eat healthier.

Once I moved to health-conscious Austin , Texas , I began to fortify my body with the best and healthiest foods I could find.

Tofu was the main ingredient in every healthy dish and I bought soya milk almost every day used it for everything from cereal to smoothies or just to drink for a quick snack. I bought soya muffins, miso soup with tofu,soybeans, soybean, sprouts, etc. All the literature in all the health and fitness magazines said that soya protected you against everything from heart disease to breast cancer. It was the magical isoflavones, the estrogen-like hormones that all worked to help you stay young and healthy. I looked great - I was working out all the time, but my menstrual cycle was off. At 20,I started taking birth control pillsto regulate my menstrual cycle.

In addition to this I began to suffer from painful periods. I began to get puffy, it was as though I was losing my muscle tone. I began to suffer from depression and getting hot flashes. I mistook all this for PMS since my periods were irregular. By the time I was 25, my periods were so bad,I couldn't walk. The birth control pills never made them regular or less painful so I decided to stop taking them.

I went on like this for another two years until I realized my pain wasn't normal. At 27, my gynecologist found two cysts in my uterus. Both were the size of tennis balls. I went through surgery to have them removed and thank God they were benign. The gynecologist told me to go back on birth control pills. I didn't. In 1998, he discovered a lump in my breast. Again, I went through surgery and again it was benign.

In November 2000 my glands swelled up and my gums became inflamed. Thinking I had a tooth infection I went to the dentist who told me that teeth were not the problem.

After a dose of antibiotics the swelling still did not go down. At this point I could feel a tiny nodule on the right side of my neck. I told my mother I had thyroid trouble. She thought I was being silly. No one in the family suffered from thyroid trouble. Going on a hunch I saw a specialist who diagnosed me with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. After a series of tests he told me it was cancer. My fiance and I sat stunned. We were not prepared and I was so scared. We scheduled surgery right away.

The specialist told us that it would only be after the operation that a pathologist would be able to tell us for sure if it was cancer. They found a tumor at my right lobe composed of irregular cells and another smaller tumor growing on the left, so the entire thyroid was removed. They told me that after undergoing radioactive iodine I would be safe and assured me that I could live a long life.

After treatment I began to search for the cause of all these problems. I never once thought it could be all the soya I had consumed for nearly ten years. After all, soya is healthy. I came upon a web page that linked thyroid problems to soya intake and the conspiracy of soya marketed as a by-product of the vegetable oil industry. This was insane, after all, the health and fitness magazines had said nothing about soya being harmful.

I visited a herbalist who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 1985. She informed me that soya was the culprit. She had a hysterectomy due to cysts and other uterine problems. A few months later another acquaintance who had consumed soya came down with thyroid cancer.
A girl in England I met through the Internet in a thyroid cancer forum had just undergone surgery and she was only 19. What was going on?

Breast cancer is linked to estrogen. What mimics estrogen in the female body, SOYA! But I never suspected soya because until now I never once found a single article that stated soya could be dangerous.

Women who took soya prior to thyroid problems will continue to take it after if they are not aware of what soya actually does, what it contains and how it reacts in the female body.. I think this is thereason that women with thyroid cancer often develop breast cancer later. My co-worker is big into soya and I see her losing hair and gaining weight despite a walking workout during her break and after work, and apples and oranges for lunch. She just had cysts removed from her uterus too. I warned her to stay off soya. I referred her to websites but until it is on the evening news on all four networks, women will suffer. Since the thyroidectomy, I do not touch soya, haven't for two years.

Dear readers, Please use my story in any way you can. There are so many young girls who are consuming soya because they think they are taking care of themselves, and women taking soya because they want to be healthy. It is so unfair that the information about the dangers of soya isn't more widely circulated. It is sad.
