the 2nd banner. how's it? =) Hmmm. Zoo was fun; minus the rain. =p
Been a long time since I’ve stepped foot into the Singapore Zoological Gardens. Remember starkly, the last time was in secondary school - for a community involvement project. Bah.
Oh, thanks Jinling! Thanks for the sugar rolls. =)
If ANYONE thinks Alv and I are “gay partners”, they should have seen Hong and munkay. They’re like 2 pieces of bread stuck together by strawberry jam. Sweet. Sticky. *grins*
It’s Good Friday! Sermon was good. Thought the church had more people than usual Sunday service. My wet socks were keeping me really fidgety throughout. Sighs. Think gonna miss Sunday service again. Family dinner.
Mahjong session was good. Surprisingly didn’t felt tired throughout. Thought I would be nodding my head off. Completed 3 rounds. Started at, 10? And ended at, 6? Haha. That’s a new record. Totally knocked out once back home. For 7hours straight. Had to postpone Celest’s tuition. Oops.
Think I’m developing arthritis. Wondering why joints hurt really badly when it rains. Sucks. I’m too young for this. Haha. owells.
OCB & BDD
Ever heard of Obsessive Compulsive Behavior (OCB) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)?
Well, OCB is an anxiety disorder that causes a person to have a recurrent thought, and makes him do certain things repetitively, for example washing of hands many times a day, cleaning the house over and over again, checking the stove many times before leaving the house, or making sure that there’s only an even number of Coke cans in the cooler. (That’s what Mr. David B. does everyday by the way.)
For people who actually suffer OCB might take an hour each day going through their rituals just to feel right.
BDD is a psychiatric disorder spreading rapidly. Statistics show that 1 in 50 suffer from BDD. People that suffer from BDD not only dislike some aspect of how they look, they're preoccupied severely with it. Most get to the point where it is very hard to go on with their normal lives without thinking the self-degrading thoughts about their flaws. The thoughts soon over take the person's mind and it is all he can think about.
The thing about it is that these ‘flaws’ that they see on themselves might not actually even exist, it might just be imaginary. They might think that the mole on their face is totally ugly, or that stretch mark on their thigh is unimaginable, or commonly, most would think that they’re too fat, when they are actually not.
My point here is, ALL of us might actually suffer certain symptoms of both OCB and BDD at certain points of our lives. If at any point we’re just obsessed at looking ourselves in the mirror, or we can’t stand our look in the mirror for no good reason, take heed that there might be something wrong. Well, perhaps it’s just a one-off kinda thing. But, perhaps, it’s just good to know.

God bless. It’s Sunday soon. Oh, I think I’m fat. Haha!
